Soundview Executive Book Summaries

How Businesses Are Using Video

I recently ran across a great article written by Jimm Fox of One Market Media on the many business uses of video. I’ve listed his main categories below, and you can check out the full article for more details.

  1. Customer Reference – video helps with collecting and showing customer testimonials, case studies and interviews.
  2. Product & Service Promotion – companies use video for product presentations, demonstrations and reviews.
  3. Corporate – corporations provide their company overview, executive highlights, facility tours and more with video.
  4. Training & Support – video is the latest thing in employee training, sales presentations and maintenance support.
  5. Internal Communication – video is now being used for business plans, company achievements, event coverage, employee orientation and health & safety education.
  6. Marketing – video promotions can take the form of commercials, viral video, content marketing and landing pages.
  7. PR/Community – video press releases are becoming more popular, along with video PR materials and community relation pieces.
  8. Events – at an event, presentations, roundtable discussions and Q&A with experts can all take place in video.
  9. Other – videos are also being used for recruitment, vlogs (video blogs) and research/surveys.

On the internet search side of the equation, research shows that a webpage with video is 30% more likely to end up on the first page of search results in Google then the same page without video. Google is now giving preference to video content in their search algorithm.

At Soundview, we are following this trend carefully, and have expanded our own offerings to include video. Our iPad format of each business book summary includes a video introduction from our Editor-in-Chief Sarah Dayton.  We now produce Executive Insights, a series of videos which interview active executives regarding key business skills. And we’re developing additional video content to be released soon.

Video increases engagement time, deepens emotional connections, and gives your company more trust and credibility with your customers and other stake-holders. And the cost of entry is becoming less every day with new technologies and web tools. If your company or organization is not currently using video, now is the time to jump in.

Trends in Customer Service

As social media has taken hold in all areas of business, and as the mobile device has become our primary vehicle of communication and interaction with companies, this phenomenon has brought with it a resurging emphasis on customer service.

The reasons are obvious. Now when I’m not happy with a company’s service, I have more options than calling them or filling out a survey. I can now post my complaint on Facebook to all my friends, Tweet about it to my followers, and even put together a video for Youtube. Viral complaints are the new catastrophe looming over company executives. Just ask United Airlines.

So it’s no surprise that business authors have caught on to this trend and are highlighting those companies that do customer service right. Here are just a few recent titles:

Among the lessons that companies are learning is that they must keep their finger on the pulse of social media. Someone needs to constantly monitor the major social media networks for mentions of their respective company and products. In this way catastrophes can be averted by a quick response to any issue that arises. Ford, PepsiCo and Southwest Airlines are among those companies with staff dedicated to monitoring social sites and handling issues as they come up.

Do you have stories about companies that have handled (or mishandled) customer issues aired through social media? If so, we’d love to post your stories with this blog. Please comment below.

How Is Your Company Using Social Media?
December 14, 2011, 1:46 PM
Filed under: Brands, Social Media, Technology | Tags: , , ,

Several months ago I wrote about one of the book trends we’ve seen in 2011 – social media. I referred to the work of Chris Brogan & Julien Smith with Trust Agents, and Brogan’s latest book Google+ for Business, Shel Israel and Robert Scoble with Naked Conversations, and Adam Penenberg with Viral Loop.

How is your company using social media? Do you see it as a distraction, a necessary drain of resources, or a budding source of great customer interaction and potential for leads and revenue?

At Soundview we’ve been working with social media for several years and are beginning to make some headway. Unlike a retail company, we don’t have the same customer issues to deal with, so our interaction is more informational.

Our SoundviewSummary blog, as you can see, gives readers a taste of the books we’re featuring, looks at various book topics and trends, and points to our other sources of information for business executives. We use Twitter to highlight articles and trends around upcoming books, e-book issues, book publishers, authors and sellers in the news, and from time-to-time we look at how books and life intersect.

We host a group on Linked In with book features for people to pass on and to help with those seeking to move up or find a new job. And last but not least, Facebook is for us a consolidation of the above resources, plus a few more. We highlight each book we cover, provide a feed from this blog, and include videos and other content to help our fans keep up on business content.

We’d love to hear what your company is doing. Please comment, and provide a link to your social media resources as well.

Apple vs Google vs Amazon vs Facebook

This month Fast Company published an issue with an extensive article on the competition between Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook, and they did it in an innovative way. They actually published four separate covers, each one declaring why one of the companies will win. I got the one declaring Google the winner, perhaps because I’m on the east coast (if the cover distribution was geographical). The latest Fortune magazine issue also depicts Larry Page of Google and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook fighting it out martial-arts-style on the cover.

The competition between these four companies is definitely heating up as each reaches more and more into the others’ traditional territories. The lines are now blurred as all four companies fight for a larger share of the dollars and time of the world’s population.

In celebration of this epic battle, I thought it would be enlightening to look at the business books being written about each company and its founders.

Apple – we should begin with Apple because Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson is projected to be the best-selling book on Amazon for 2011 even though it was just released in October. Jobs has had many books written about him – in fact my count shows as many books about Steve Jobs as have been written about Google, or about Amazon and Facebook combined. We just published the summary of The Steve Jobs Way by Jay Elliot, a Senior VP under Jobs at Apple. And Inside Steve’s Brain by Leander Kahney has received a lot of attention as well. Really, Apple can’t be separated from Steve Jobs when it comes to covering their success over the years and probably well into the future.

Google In the Plex is the latest book about Google, and was written by Wired’s technical journalist Steven Levy. This book is on Amazon’s top 10 list of best sellers for 2011 as well. Among the other top books is The Search by John Battelle, and of course the obligatory The Google Way by Bernard Girard. You haven’t really made it until you have a “The ____Way” book written about you or your company.

Facebook – We get a little thin here with only a handful of books about Facebook or its founder Mark Zuckerberg. There is The Facebook Effect by David Kirkpatrick and The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. But Zuckerberg makes up for this poor showing by being the only one of the four company founders to have a movie made about him called The Social Network. Note: there is no The Facebook Way book yet, which may or may not be a prediction of their future success.

Amazon – For a company that started out selling books, they haven’t had much written about them or their founder Jeff Bezos. One Click: Jeff Bezos and the Rise of Amazon by Richard Brandt describes the basic and simple premise of the company – make it easy for people to buy. Other titles about Amazon include by Robert Spector and Inside the Giant Machine by Kalpanik S., a pen-name for a former employee of Amazon.

So if you’re watching this tech battle and would like to read up on the companies, I hope this will get you started. I’m sure there will be many more books to come in the future as the fight continues.

Book Trends Part II

Leadership and communication are trends that have been and will continue to be with us, but some business book trends come and go with the hot topics of the business world.

Not too surprisingly, social media is one of those hot topics that are currently generating new books. Everyone wants to know how to make money with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+. Coupled with this subject is that of customer empowerment, that through the use of social media the customer has taken the reins and is telling companies what they want.

Chris Brogan is among the authors filling the need for information in the social media arena, with Trust Agents which he wrote with Julien Smith last year, and Google+ for Business coming out in November. Shel Israel and Robert Scoble discuss blogs in Naked Conversations, Adam Penenberg demonstrates the power of viral media in Viral Loop, and Robert Bloom explains the new power of the customer in The New Experts.

In tandem with the green movement, we’re also seeing an emphasis on corporate and personal responsibility. Customers are making product, service and investment decisions based in part on how good a “corporate citizen” a company is, rather than just on how good the products are.

Carol Sanford just released a book entitled The Responsible Business, about which we’re hosting a webinar tomorrow. Daniel Goleman recently shifted from emotional intelligence to Ecological Intelligence.  Joel Kurtzman emphasizes having a Common Purpose that looks beyond the bottom-line. And Tim Sanders discusses the responsibility revolution moving through corporate American in Saving the World at Work.

One more trend that needs a mention is innovation. Although this topic isn’t new, there has been a strong emphasis in the business book world on recreating companies to be innovation powerhouses. Clayton Christensen is a leader in this arena, with the concepts he introduced in The Innovator’s Solution, and then is applying to other fields like healthcare, with The Innovator’s Prescription. Josh Linkner explains how to empower employees to be creative in Disciplined Dreaming, and Norihiko Shimizu describes the continuous innovation practices of Toyota in Extreme Toyota.

One great thing about these prolific business authors is that they are ready to fill in the information gap when a new trend comes up on the horizon. Our challenge as businesspeople is to find the time to read and apply this information before the next sweeping change takes place. That’s why Soundview is in business – to cut down the time from book to application.

How Much is Too Much?

Here’s a topic that should spark some debate: Is there such a thing as too much personal disclosure in the realm of the Internet?

Apparently, someone thinks so. However, his identity may surprise you. Check out this quote:

“I don’t believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable and recorded by everyone all the time… I mean we really have to think about these things as a society.”

This same person went on to suggest that the youngest members of society may one day seek to change their names because they’ve left a trail of embarrassing personal moments scattered across the Internet. The fact that a quick search can produce volumes of data about the average young person means that potential employers may have a filtered perception of just who they are considering for a position.

So, who is the mystery man who thinks there may be too much personal info online? Believe it or not, it’s Eric Schmidt … the CEO of Google!

Here’s the article from where we were able to source the above comments. As the article indicates, there are those who believe that Schmidt is overstating the problem of willing disclosure of private information. However, the point about potential employers viewing candidates’ social networking sites is one that is discussed from time to time in books we review at Soundview.

Part of the problem is that the lack of filter creates a constant stream of communication with very little emphasis on connection. Soundview currently has a new summary from John Maxwell that attempts to respond to this issue in the physical world (although some of its concepts could easily be applied online). Visit us at to learn more about Maxwell’s new book Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: What the Most Effective People Do Differently.

China, India … Facebook?

Houston … we’ve reached Zeitgeist.

On Wednesday of this week, I read a few stories online about social networking site Facebook reaching 500 million users. Later that day, I watched ABC World News devote the bulk of an entire episode to the company. That evening, I went to a movie where one of the preview trailers was for the film The Social Network, a “based on a true story” account of the company’s founding. I devoted so much time that day to reading and hearing about Facebook that I was only able to check out Soundview’s Facebook page six or seven times.

All kidding aside, the social media site’s growth is awe-inspiring. Several like-minded media outlets wrote that if the site were a country, its population would make it the third largest on Earth. While everyone else is chipping in with their two cents about Facebook, we thought it was an opportune time to profile David Kirkpatrick’s new book The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World. You might be surprised at what we found out when we spent some time with this book.

Of course, the only place you’ll be able to see our exclusive coverage of The Facebook Effect is in the next edition of our e-newsletter Soundview Executive Book Alert. Never read it? It’s the best place to read reviews of books that are making waves, upcoming must-read titles, and books that may have escaped your radar.

Analytical Essay

The analytical essay reflects author’s critical response or reaction to the body of work. When writing this type of an essay, the author should use thorough analyses to clarify the meaning of the text by pointing reader’s attention to a very specific point of view the writer is talking about. That point is not a fact, but the author’s subjective opinion about the subject of the essay. The arguments used by the author should be supported by some solid reasoning.

 Structure of the Analytical Essay

The analytical essay consists of the ensuing sections:

  • Historical background. A piece of text that contains historical background relevant to the subject of the essay
  • Evidence-based argument. When the writer has collected the evidence, he goes on to making an argument which should be persuasive and based on gathered evidence from the text
  • Evaluation of assumptions. Both implicit and explicit assumptions of the author are evaluated to see if they are a good basis for the selected arguments
  • Explanation of contradictions inherent in the text. Contradictions may be a result of the author’s incorrect assumptions in regard to his target audience or other important aspects of writing
  • Conclusion

This section should provide an abstract, which is also known as the summary of the original text. It can include a brief biography of the author and some relevant information about his or her historical background. The last sentence of the introduction is the argument that writer is determined to prove.

It is a foundation of the essay, because a thesis statement includes the main idea of the analytical essay. In this type of the essay, the author makes a reactionary thesis, which means that it reflects his subjective opinion on the original work.

Main Body Format

Within the body of the essay, the writer can highlight an aspect that supports the essay’s theme. The main body should consist of the text that clearly reflects the author’s own reaction and perception of the subject. All components of the essay should relate to one theme which should be continuously mentioned and supported with strong arguments throughout the whole analytical essay.

It is the closing part of the analytical essay. Usually, conclusion of an analytical essay consists of one or two paragraphs deepening on the length of the essay and the power of the author’s creative spark. In conclusion, the thesis should be restated. After it, the author should briefly lead the reader through the main body of the text and once again point them to a closing statement. That statement shouldn’t be just a clipping from the body of the essay, but a complete creative statement that summarizes and gives a comprehensive outlook on the author’s opinion and ensures the reader in the righteousness of the arguments. The purpose of the conclusion is to convince the reader of the thesis and leave them satisfied with provided evidence. If this goal is achieved – the purpose of an analytical essay is served.

Watson and Clemson dethrone top-ranked Tide, 35-31

Watson and Clemson dethrone top-ranked Tide, 35-31

RALPH D. RUSSO, AP College Football Writer
TAMPA, Florida (AP) — College football's first national championship rematch was even better than the original, with an incredible twist at the end.
Deshaun Watson and Clemson dethroned the champs and became the first team to beat Nick Saban's Alabama dynasty in a national title game, taking down the top-ranked Crimson Tide 35-31 Monday night in the College Football Playoff.
Watson found Hunter Renfrow for a 2-yard touchdown pass with a second remaining to give the Tigers their first national championship since 1981. A year after Alabama won its fourth title under Saban with a 45-40 classic in Arizona, Clemson closed the deal and denied the Tide an unprecedented fifth championship in eight seasons.
The lead changed hands three times in the fourth quarter, but Watson got the ball last. Likely playing in his final college game, the junior quarterback threw for 420 yards and three touchdowns. In two games against Alabama and the most ferocious defense in college football, Watson has thrown for 825 yards and accounted for eight touchdowns.
Coach Dabo Swinney, the native Alabaman and former Crimson Tide walk-on receiver, has built an elite program at Clemson that was missing only one thing. Now the Tigers can check that box, too.
"Eight years ago we set out to put Clemson back on top," said Swinney, who can turn postgame interviews into a rousing sermon. "We came up a little short last year, but today on top of the mountain, the Clemson flag is flying."
After three quarters of vicious hits and tight defense, Tigers-Tide II ended up looking a lot like the first meeting when the teams combined for 40 points in the fourth quarter.
Clemson took its first lead when Watson found Mike Williams for a 4-yard touchdown a minute into the fourth quarter to make it 24-21.
The Tigers took a 28-24 lead with 4:38 left in the fourth quarter when Wayne Gallman surged in from a yard out.
The Tide's offense, which had gone dormant for most of the second half, came to life with the help of a sweet call from newly promoted offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian. Receiver ArDarius Stewart took a backward pass from Jalen Hurts and fired a strike to O.J. Howard for 24 yards.
On the next play, Hurts broke free from a collapsing pocket and weaved his way through defenders for a 30-yard touchdown run to make it 31-28 with 2:07 left.
More than enough time for Watson.
"I was calm," Watson said. He said he thought about Vince Young's last-second touchdown for Texas that derailed the Southern California's championship run in the 2005 championship game at the Rose Bowl. He told his team: "Let's go be great."
Watson hooked up with Williams and Jordan Leggett, who made great catches for big gains to get to first-and-goal with 14 seconds left.
A pass interference on Alabama made it first-and-goal at the 2 with six seconds left. Time for one more play to avoid a game-tying kick and potential overtime. Renfrow slipped away from the defense at the goal line and was alone for an easy toss. It was the walk-on receiver's second TD catch of the night, adding to the two he had last season against Alabama.
When it ended, Clemson's 315-pound (143 -kilogram) defensive lineman Christian Wilkins did a cartwheel and Ben Boulware, one of the toughest linebackers in the country, was in tears.
The Tigers had snapped Alabama's 26-game winning streak and beaten a No. 1 team for the first time ever.
"It's been 35 long years!" Boulware screamed. "It's coming home baby! It's coming home!"

Chicago Blackhawks Vs. Minnesota Wild

Minnesota Wild (26-19-3) at Chicago Blackhawks (36-7-5)

NHL Hockey: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 9:30 pm (United Center)

The Line: Chicago Blackhawks -275 / Minnesota Wild 235 — Over/Under: 5 See the Latest Odds

This just hasn’t been the return to the post season that the Minnesota Wild were looking for. Their No. 1 goaltender Niklas Backstrom was injured in warmups before ever playing a second in their opening round series with the Blackhawks. Josh Harding has filled in admirably but he was injured in Game 4, leaving the Wild with the woefully inexperienced Darcy Kuemper to tend the net. It has just been that kind of a series for the Wild and despite their valiant effort in Game 3 that found them victorious in overtime it looks like this hockey club is on their last legs. Kuemper has appeared in just seven total games for the Wild and he might be called upon to save their season on Thursday night. Kuemper allowed a goal on the first shot he faced and finished the game with 16 saves on 18 shots in the 3-0 loss. Patrick Sharp scored goals in the first and second periods and Bryan Bickell added his third goal of the series in the third to finish the scoring. The Blackhawks are just the better team in this series and they really shouldn’t have much trouble ending this series in five games. If the Wild were to win this one it would be a very big surprise. Corey Crawford had a relatively easy night, stopping all 24 shots he faced to record the shutout. Sharp now has four goals in the opening round series and because of his play the struggles of captain Jonathan Toews aren’t as noticeable. Toews is still yet to get on the score sheet through the first four games of the series. Chicago hasn’t been dominant in this series but they’ve been good enough to build their 3-1 lead. With a potential second round match up against the San Jose Sharks or Detroit Red Wings looming the Blackhawks need to use their series clincher against the Wild as a tune up for a much more difficult series to come.

Select Available Options:

3D Printed Soda Bottle Records Stunning 1080p Video

Hiding within this ordinary looking product is powerful camera with a wide viewing angle of 65°. You’ll be able to see most of your room, edge to edge without missing a thing.  All the video is recorded in AVI format using h.264 compression into time/date stamped files for easy saving, emailing or playback on your PC or Mac computer.

It records 1920x1080 resolution video at 30 FPS. Either record continuously or use the motion detection setting. This model features internal memory. The handy auto-overwrite feature makes it easy to use on a daily basis.

Actual Soda In Top & Bottom Compartments Give Impression Of A Full Bottle

Bottled soda is so common these days that nobody pays any attention to them. They also have the added benefit of being permitted almost everywhere. Place it on a desk to record a meeting and nobody will know it's anything other than a normal bottle of water. Separate areas contain water on the top and bottom to give the impression of a full bottle Great for use as a nanny cam or cheater catching device, it is highly unlikely someone would suspect a camera within this commonplace object. All the video being recorded is in crisp & clear HD quality color. This ensures you’ll be able to make out all the details of activity in the room you’re recording

20 Hour Rechargeable Battery

When you need to either quickly drop-and-go your hidden camera or place it in an area where outlets are not an option, this system comes with a removable and rechargeable battery that gives you up to 20 hours of continuous juice on stand-by when you choose the motion activation setting. This means your camera will sit in a dormant state, conserving power until motion is detected, then it will instantly power on to capture everything, without missing a moment.

Record Weeks Of HD Video Onto A Removable SD Card

Using an optional 128GB SD card, you’ll get 32 hours of continuous video, or with motion activation mode only, you'll never run out of video memory. The choice is yours. With adjustable frame rate controls, it’s easy to capture weeks to  months of hidden videos. Since normal motion that your TV plays back at is at 30 FPS, recording at a lower FPS (frames per second) will enable you to store much more footage on the SD card. Additionally, you’ll be able to “hot-swap” SD cards by easily removing a filled up one, and replacing it with a fresh blank card. This way you’ll quickly be able to bring the footage back to your computer for review without ever missing important video.

Time/Date Stamp For Quick ID Provides Unquestionable Proof

All of the video and recorded video files have time and date stamped directly onto the video. This provides clear-cut proof of exactly when the event occurred.

Easy-To-Use Settings For Playback & Recording

Nothing complicated here. The hidden camera is ready-to-go out of the box with motion detection settings. Simply unpack, and plug into an outlet. You’re all set. If you need to change a setting, using the included remote is easier than your home TV. Setup Through a TV -Take out the guesswork and lets you set all of your camera’s settings through your TV, just by connecting it up with the included AV cables.

When you’re ready to watch the video, remove the SD card, pop into your computer, and watch the video. Easily save the video files to your computer for unlimited archiving.

Motion Activated Or Continuous. Records All The Action

Capture & watch only the action. No more sitting through hours of video watching an empty room. The motion detection mode will record in 3 minute intervals until motion stops. This ensures you’ll never miss a thing. You can also push the button to start recording all the time. This will record in 20 minute intervals until you manually push the button to stop recording.

Hello Everyone!! I’m so sorry I haven’t written in actual years (a slight exaggeration), but I thought I was going to stop writing, but things have calmed down, and now I can again! Yays all around!! So, a short chapter to almost welcome you back to me being back, here is Chapter 7!! Thanks 🙂

I awoke early the next morning, and traveled around the cottage silently, giving Granddad a wakeup call as I left, reminding him his maple syrup pancakes I’d made would soon go cold. I ran around the side of the house, zipping up my coat as the wind bit at my fingers, and hauled the door closed as I walked towards Brave. He was swaying slightly, his eyelids closed softly, standing calmly upright. I saw the black of his eyes light up and show as I unlatched the stable door. He approached me and nuzzled into my chest, sniffing at my pocket for the carrot concealed inside.

“Honestly, Brave, you’d think food was the only thing you knew in life!” I giggled as my fingers slid through his hair, my ear to his jaw, listening to him crunch. My watch bounced light off of it – 7:35am.

“Today’s it Brave. New Friends! “I exclaimed, letting the door swing to a close ahead of him as I gathered his tack. He stood well as I tightened his girth and adjusted his bridle, and soon we were cantering away through the village, the houses sound as the hoof steps echoed throughout. I grinned at the thought of new friends, girls, sleepovers, parties, crushes etc. I hadn’t had great friends in Manderville, so now was my chance. I leapt off Brave as we entered the stable walls at Moorland, and ran straight over to Jenna.

“You’re full of beans today Anna! Here to help for the day? We could really use…”

“Sorry, I can’t today, have you seen three new girls around here though?”

“Nope, see there aren’t any new residents; no one is buying any houses at the minute…”

“Oh.” I deflated like a balloon, instantly. I sighed and began to walk away.

“Oh! Unless you mean the summer camp girls? Erm, what’re their names, Ella, Alice and Lily or something? Why do you know them? We’re still expecting one more, she’s running a little late!” Jenna puzzled, her eyebrows raised.

“Yes, that’s them! Do you have any idea where I can find them?”

“Well, they’re all lodging at Fort Pinta with Marge for the 3 week course, so at the market?” I smiled, mounting Brave and already leaving.

“Thanks Jenna!!!!” I screamed as Brave galloped off, jumping over the gates and crunching through the orange leaves lining the road. Suddenly, a thought popped into my head. How was I going to act. Just stroll up and ‘Oh Hey, I was there last night and thought, thank goodness, real modern teen life on moorland, so like fancy being friends.’

“Whoa big boy, we need a break.” I brought Brave off the track and secured him at the fence. Mary would know what to do; she was always there to help out! I ran through the few trees to her favourite spot, and peered about to look for her.

I cannot comment on the quality or Function of the Grills as I never received mine. I order a Texas Elite 34 at the Minnesota State Fair on Aug. 23rd for $899 with a few extras and was told this was the lowest price ever (Not True). They did not tell me about the pro series which I found later. They said it would be delivered within 7 days. 2 weeks later no grill so I called customer service just asking on when I would get the grill. They could not find my order and did not believe I ordered one... They said I had to email them my receipt as they could do nothing on the phone.

You prefer a direct heat method of grilling: The Traeger grill uses an indirect heating source, much like an oven, so you won’t be able to sear meat, as many people like to do when grilling a steak. The Traeger system is better for those people seeking more of a smoker type of cooking system, although you can sear your meat by using a frying pan with a little oil initially before you finish cooking it with the Traeger grill. You can use the frying pan on a stove top burner or on the surface of the Traeger grill.

The Rainier is also hearty as hell. It survived banging around in the bed of my truck for four years. And I didn’t exactly baby it, cramming it into the limited storage space in my truck with paddles, helmets, and all manner of gear. But I never worried that it wouldn’t fire up to cook another meal. Once, one of the stubby rubber legs popped off as I was pulling the Rainier out of my truck. The stove sat crooked for a weekend, but I eventually found the leg and simply screwed it back on.

I purchased my first Traeger Grills over a year and a half ago and now I am on my third grill. I have had the most amazing experience grilling, smoking and baking. I do everything on my Traeger. It accurately holds the temperature, starts up automatically and has convection which cooks my food evenly and thoroughly. I recommend this grill to anybody who’s looking for a amazing cooking experience with little effort and really likes to show off to their friends how good their food tastes. My favorite part is being able to walk away from the grill and not have to babysit it so I can do overnight briskets without even checking them. I love it.
Main Problem (Product): Main Barrel arrived damaged (bent inward on one end where the open area is located), and the replacement was sent a month and a half later since my purchase. Its an 80 lb. box, with little padding, and all of the components are placed loosely in the barrel. The small tack welds inside for the trip tray arrived broken. (One person struggles with this big heavy box) They would do better by placing more cushion for shipping.
The smoker does not hold temperature. I called the service dept and they sent a new controller card and it does not hold temp either. When I contacted the service dept they told me that the grills do not hold temp at the 225 degree setting. If you look at all the Traeger literature and cookbook and recipes all say to smoke at 225. As does every other smoking cookbook. So Traeger manufactures and sells a known defective product. DO NOT BUY TRAEGER.

Bought the Costco trade show model after about 4 years of debating the purchase... OK, first one broke on day one as "auger" stopped spinning. Returned and received a new unit. 2nd one smoked a turkey for 4.5 hours. After 4 hours temp. dropped to 100 degrees and it was set to 350. When I opened the smoker to check on why this happened, it exploded into a ball of flames! There was fire shooting out from all sides of the grill and smoke and heat coming from the feeder side of the grill... This was SCARY and could have absolutely caused a major fire, and/or injury!!!

You like the idea of cooking different types of foods on the grill: If you’re someone who wants to grill food other than meat, the Traeger grilling system gives you this option. With the precise temperature control of the Traeger, cooking things like fruit pies can be a successful endeavor, something you wouldn’t dare try with a propane-fired grill.
Although our testers thought this grill was a bit heavy, they loved its small footprint and still found it to be very portable: “It’s a great size and convenient to bring in an RV or SUV for tailgating and grilling on the go,” reported one reviewer. Our testers were also pleased with how easily you could control the grill’s heat from its corresponding smartphone app. The only real downside? The instructions were a little unclear, according to one of our reviewers.

Alzheimer´s Treatment – Stem Cell Therapy

Alzheimer’s Treatment with Stem Cells

Finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease using stem cell therapy is quickly gaining momentum; regenerative medicine and cell-enriched therapies offer an innovative and effective approach to address the urgent need to cure Alzheimer’s disease or at least improve conditions for patients suffering with this condition. From both family and medical perspectives, an Alzheimer’s diagnosis is one of the most hard-hitting conditions since the patient is often a senior citizen, there is no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease and as the condition develops gradually the patient requires more and more care. Let´s explore in-depth this condition and neurological treatment options available.

What is Alzheimer’s disease?

alzheimer´s treatmentAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative condition that affects many different parts of the brain. The exact cause of the condition is still unclear; this is because brain tissues samples cannot be extracted from a living patient. However, medical experts have found an unusual build-up of protein in the brain namely: amyloid beta and tau that create plaques and tangles respectively. Plaques prevent communication in the body while tangles hinder cells from getting essential nutrients.
According to 2015 Alzheimer’s disease facts and figures released by Alzheimer’s Association, approximately 50 million individuals suffer from dementia with an expected global care of US $818 billion and since age and natural demographics are the predominant risk factors, this figure is set to go up to 132 million patients by 2050.

Types of Alzheimer´s disease

There are 2 main types of this most common cause of dementia:

1. Early onset: This type is commonly diagnosed in people who are in their 40s and 50s. People with Down syndrome are also at an increased risk for it.
2. Late-onset: This form of Alzheimer’s disease is common among people above the age of 65.

Symptoms of Alzheimer´s disease

The primary symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include:

• Memory lapse
• Difficulty in language and speech

Over time signs and symptoms are:

• Mood swings
• Confusion
• Reduced judgment
• Change in vision
• Trouble planning and solving daily tasks
• Misplacing things from time to time
• Social withdrawal
• Memory loss that becomes more severe as the condition progresses
• Nearly every patient will experience the above symptoms. Usually, the lifespan of Alzheimer’s patients is 3-7 years

Who is affected by Alzheimer´s disease?

A number of risk factors have been associated with this disorder and the biggest being aging. Family history (genetics), head injuries and gender (women are more likely to be affected than men) also play a significant role. Currently, there is no complete cure for Alzheimer’s disease or a definite Alzheimer´s treatment as such, and the medication available can only manage the Alzheimer’s disease symptoms. Most of the medication used prevents acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter in the human brain. This is where Alzheimer’s disease stem cell therapy comes into the picture, bringing to patients an alternative method to improve conditions and overall healthier living.

Why stem cell therapy for Alzheimers Treatment?

Stem cells have 3 significant properties:

1. They can reproduce themselves several times
2. They can turn into all the different types of cells needed; stem cells can produce brain cells, consequently, repair brain damage caused by dementia among other neurological diseases
3. Amyloid plaques found in the brains of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s create inflammation and stem cells can help ease the inflammation. Alzheimer’s disease pathology research

Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by 2 abnormal protein deposits in the brain and researchers working on Alzheimer´s treatment have seen tangle and plaque pathology within living model organisms like mice and monkeys. In 2007 scientists reprogrammed skin cells of the mice to make induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). This study was further developed to reprogram adult cells in mice and reverted to stem cells which are as good as the embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Alzheimer’s treatment, stem cell therapy cure

Today research uses lab-grown stem cells called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to examine the disease. Cells are taken from the skin of Alzheimer’s patients, reprogrammed to make iPS cells which are grown into neurons in a dish. These neurons later form both beta-amyloid and tau protein, thus presenting scientists with a great opportunity to understand how and why protein plaques and tangles are created and to test new medication and cell therapy.
Different types of brain neurons in the brain are affected by the Alzheimer’s disease hence making it challenging for doctors to replace the damaged cells.

For instance, one approach could be transplanting adult-born neural stem cells safely into the damaged area expecting they will produce new and healthy neurons but it raises questions such as:

• Production of many different types of neurons required to repair the lost/ or damaged cells
• How to get into the different damaged parts of the brain
• Executing the process in a way, it will help new neurons to fit in successfully in your brain
• Despite these challenges, researchers have actively studied stem cell transplants in mice and outstanding results shown by the studies promises a bright future to Alzheimer’s patients

Adult stem cells and Alzheimer´s treatment

Adult mesenchymal stem cells have the capability of reducing inflammation, repairing damaged cells as well as boost brain’s function like memory by producing new cells in the hippocampus. At StemCells21 international medical center we are using state-of-the-art stem cell technology to study the cause and effects of this condition and our Alzheimer’s disease stem cell therapy program is available now.

Writers – Want To Sell More Books?

August 30, 2009

Want to sell more books? Many writers focus on the media to sell their books. They send out press releases to newspapers, magazines and radio stations.

This is a scatter gun approach. You’re aiming your marketing at everyone who reads or listens to that particular media outlet.

If you want to sell more books, then you need to target your publicity at the exact people who are most likely to read your book.  This is precision target marketing.

If you really want to make a successful career as a writer, you need to think about ‘joint ventures’ to sell or promote your book. Don’t be put off by the business jargon – this just means looking for business people who can help publicize your book.

So, for example, if you’ve written a book about travel, are there any professionals who could promote you to their list of clients? If you’ve written a book about cars, are there online clubs or experts who could promote your book to their members or customers?

Importantly these clients are already interested in your subject matter – therefore they are much more likely to buy your book. What would you prefer? Promoting your book to 100 thousand people who aren’t remotely interested or to one thousand people who are passionate about the same thing?

You might wonder why businesses would help you. The answer is simple.  If your book ties in with their service, and helps their clients, why wouldn’t they do it?

Here’s the important thing – some businesses have hugs ‘lists’ with hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of people on their database. On the other hand, many many publishers are happy if they sell five thousand books – this is thought of as a ‘successful’ print run!

Are you feeling nervous or a little intimidated? Good.  If your goals aren’t making you even a little nervous, you’re probably not setting yourself big enough goals!
Breaking through this ‘fear barrier’ is what separate out the winners from the rest.

Even if 100 business owners say ‘no’, and 10 say ‘yes’ this could make an enormous difference to your book sales.

Is this book your passion? Do you want to get your message out there? Go on, make a list of 50 potential joint venture partners today. It’s a simple but incredibly effective strategy. Try it.

Teach Yourself Web Publishing with HTML 4 in 21 Days

Chapter 7: Using Images, Color and Backgrounds

This chapter introduces the concept of putting pictures, called images, in your web documents. The objectives important to this chapter are:

  • image types
  • image placement on pages
  • using images as links
  • using images not on your site
  • what to do for the image impaired
  • setting the color of fonts and backgrounds
  • using images as backgrounds

Web documents would be pretty boring if they couldn't use pictures. Pictures on a web page are called images. They are stored as separate files and referenced in the HTML code. Ms. Lemay begins by telling us that we can take two approaches to putting images in our pages:

  • inline images - your HTML code specifies that the image is to be read (and displayed) by the browser along with the rest of the page
  • external images - with these, the image is not read (or displayed) by the browser until the user clicks on a link
The usual way to plan a page is to place the image inline. Setting a link was more common when the average browser didn't have the capability to show one, and modem speeds were slower.

It should not be a surprise (at least if you read the book) that the tag for images is . This tag originally did not require a closing tag, but XHTML requires a closure, so it will use the self-closing approach we have seen before: . The image tag requires some option values, else it does nothing. The basic syntax for the tag is:

This notation would be used for a file in your current directory (same as the web page) that is stored in the gif format. GIF files (pronounced "Jif", like the peanut butter) are one of several type of files that browsers can read and display. The browser recognizes the file type by its extension:
  • GIF - .gif files, format invented by CompuServe
  • JPEG - .jpg or .jpeg extension, another compressed format
  • XBM - .xbm extension (surprise, surprise)
  • TIFF - .tif or .tiff, sometimes compressed
  • BMP - .bmp, a bitmap file, not compressed; previously used on the web, no longer supported by modern browsers
  • PICT - .pict, rarely used
  • PNG - .png, a compressed format meant to replace .gif
Each of these file types can be read by some browsers, but all popular browsers can read the GIF and JPEG files. They are popular because they are compressed file types and take less time to transmit across the net. When possible, use these types. However, do not assume that you can affect the format a file is saved in just by renaming it with the extension you like. If the file you want to use is not saved in a usable format, find another file, or find a program to read it and translate it to the desired format.

Placing an image tag in your document is easy. Controlling where the image goes is a little harder. For instance, putting it in a paragraph by itself has the obvious effect. Putting it in a line of text, however, can be unpredictable unless you use more optional attributes to control the appearance.

Putting the image in a Heading format is the easiest way to control alignment. This code:

presents the referenced image in the center of the current line. The fact that I used Heading 1 format is not relevant: using any of the other five would result in the same appearance.

You can align the image, to a degree, with a line of text that it appears in. This is done with the four options shown on page 180. This is not as interesting as the next idea, placing the image in text that wraps around it. Observe the example on pages 182 and 183. The code

causes the image to align with the left margin. The text that follows forms around the image's right side. At the end of the first paragraph (on page 185), the code

causes the next line of text to continue on the first clear line after the image. Combining these tags, you can wrap or not, as desired.

When a browser does not support these tag options, the results are a bit different. Luckily, most people are using a browser that supports them.

An image can also be a link, if you simply build an anchor point around it containing an HREF value. This is how you put buttons and other images on a page that can be clicked to jump somewhere. The format is just:

An image that is a link will have a blue border around it by default. You can suppress the border with the option border="0". I usually do this, while Laura does not like it. Personal choice.

For those images that are too good to be missed, yet too large to put in the page (without having your readers punch "Stop" in despair) you can set up an external image. Set up a link as above, but use the image file in place of the .htm file. Also, put some text about what a wonderful HUGE file the user will see in place of the IMG tag. (Or, use a smaller version of it, called a thumbnail.)

Click for a very large file

The browser will then load the file specified, showing it all by itself.

For those browsers still incapable of displaying any image files, you can place a note to be displayed instead of the image in the IMG tag, using the ALT option. The syntax is simply: . A serious reason to provide alternate text is that some readers cannot see pictures. I have done some work recently with software meant for visually impaired users. It is an awakening experience to realize that not everyone can do everything the web assumes they can do.

It is also possible to specify in the IMG tag what the height and width of the image are supposed to be, as measured in pixels. This is good, since it speeds up loading images in browsers that support HTML 3.2 or later, and can help control the space an image uses. You can actually cause an image to be displayed in more or less space than normal this way. Don't be fooled into thinking that this will shrink the size of the image file transmitted. I have a friend who put up photos of his son on his web site. He finds the size of the images in pixels, then tells the image tag to display the file using a quarter of the height and of the width. He thinks he is doing his reader a favor. His home page takes FOREVER to load! If you want to change the size of an image, use a real art program. Adobe Photoshop and JASC Paint Shop Pro are good choices. (Update for late 2005: Paint Shop Pro is now owned and published by Corel.)

Color! Setting a background color is easy. Most of you are doing it already. To make a solid background for your page, modify the BODY tag like this:

The hard part is the color value. Color monitors make color by using different combinations of Red, Green and Blue. Each of the double-digits in the example above (11, 22, 33) represent a value for the Red, Green, or Blue element. Okay so far? Well, the range of numbers for each value is from 00 (double zero) to FF (double fox). Double what? It's in hexadecimal notation, base sixteen. No, you don't really have understand it, just know what a hex triplet is (a very unlucky set and a half of twins?) and look at the long list of them starting on page 1129. (What a book: you actually use the appendix.) The list gives the hex values for lots of colors that also have defined names. Often, you can use the name instead of the hex triplet, but be aware that some browsers will not understand the name, while they will understand the hex code. There are many more colors that do not have names. In fact, using the hex numbering system, there are over 16 million possible colors.

Page 197 shows four other color entities that can be set in the BODY tag:

  • text - the color of text in the body that you have not otherwise colored; default is black
  • link - the color of text in an anchor that you have not visited; default is blue
  • vlink - the color of text in a link that you have visited; default is often purple
  • alink - the color of text in a link at the moment you click it; default is red (a momentary pleasure, at best)

Another way to use color is called spot color. It means to take effect for a small area, like a section of text. For instance, if your browser supports it, this text is red. The code looks like this:

this text is red.
Setting a file to be used as the background of a page is easier than setting a solid color. For instance, this page uses a file to display the purple/blue border on the left and solid white elsewhere. The code is:

You need to know that the actual JPG image is tiled, repeated for the length and breadth of the document. This means you should plan your backgrounds, and make sure readers can SEE the text you put on top of them.

The Battle Has Begun, but Much More is Needed to Defeat the Opioid Crisis

I’ll start this ‘Yikes Summer is Almost Over’ blog with a bit of good news: While many of us were on vacation during the last month, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services initiated the process of distributing $53 million to 44 states, four tribes and Washington, D.C., to combat the nation’s opioid-heroin epidemic.

About Carlo Aonzo

by Eugene Braig

Carlo Aonzo, mandolinist, is a native of Savona, Italy. From a musical family, his initial teacher on the instrument was his father. He went on to study with Ugo Orlandi, the current patriarch of the Italian mandolin camp, at the Cesare Pollini Conservatory of Padua. His playing has been recognized with awards at prestigious competitions including the \"Vivaldi\" prize of the 6th annual Vittorio Pitzianti National Mandolin Competition in Venice as well as the 27th annual Walnut Valley National Mandolin Contest in Winfield, Kansas.

Carlo has toured throughout northern Europe, Italy, and the USA as a soloist or with chamber ensembles and orchestras. He worked with many musical institutions including La Scala Philharmonic, Milan. As director of the Ligurian Plectrum Orchestra (Orchestra a Pizzico Ligure), he has been called to play in the presence of Pope John Paul II. Since 1998 he has created and directed the annual winter Festival Internazionale di Mandolino in Varazze, Italy; performers there have included the most respected names in mandolin and guitar. He is an active scholar of historic mandolinists and mandolin repertoire and has contributed to The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. He is a regular faculty member at the mandolin-oriented Kaufman Kamp and teaches annual June workshops in New York.

Carlo’s recorded output reflects his scholarship and passion to champion the mandolin’s forgotten past. He has recorded Paganini’s complete works for mandolin on period mandolino Genovese with the octave-guitar tuning (Integrale per Amandorlino & Chitarra Francese, Arion). His recordings have also featured the works of early 20th century Italians with guitarist Beppe Gambetta (Serenata, Acoustic Music Records) and Italian immigrants to America with Gambetta and mandolinist David Grisman (Traversata, Acoustic Disc). For Mel Bay, he has recorded a video studio concert of solo mandolin repertoire (Carlo Aonzo: Classical Mandolin Virtuoso) and was featured in Mandolin 2000.

"Carlo is a marvelous performer who simply exudes magic when he plays."
- Terry Pender, editor Mandolin Quarterly

Album Notes
On July 23, 2014, sixteen of the very best songwriter/musicians took the stage at Republic New Orleans for the very first Hit Me America Songwriters' Showcase. That night, we took 10 minutes between performances to demonstrate a very unusual songwriting session between the artists and the audience. In the back of the room, audience member Debbie Pennington threw out the line "Breezy in the Easy" and at that moment, the idea for "Easy Breezy" was born.

Six weeks later, Rockin' Dopsie Jr, Steve Blaze, Lynn Drury and Scott Lee Tully joined producers Brad Bohannan, John Autin and Mark Carson at a most remarkable songwriting session where they would write "Easy Breezy" in just one hour with the help of the kids and audience members at Children's Hospital New Orleans. What you are about to hear may be the first true songwriting collaboration between professional songwriters and their audience. 100% of all revenues received from your contribution to "Easy Breezy" will go to benefit Team Gleason and Children's Hospital.

We are very proud to present to you EASY BREEZY, the first song produced under the HIT ME AMERICA banner!
