When Writing an E-book Go Beyond the Obvious

You've decided to write an e-book - that's fantastic! There's always room for another well written e-book, especially in the non-fiction genres. However, there is little room left on the market for a mediocre e-book that does little to provide knowledge to the reader. In other words, you need to go beyond the obvious - that which is readily available for free or without searching very hard.

These days most of us that are looking for information head on over to the internet to Google. Less than 20 years ago we would have likely looked up what we wanted to know in a book, newspaper, encyclopedia, etc. and now these same resources are very low on our search list and in some cases completely off the list. When was the last time you looked at an encyclopedia?

For non fiction authors it means that your fiercest competition is not other books on the topic you are writing on, but rather the Internet itself. If a person is looking for basic information, figures and facts they are likely to go look online. This makes it difficult to sell an 'average' e-book, and rightfully so. Why would a person pay for information that can be easily found online.

Even if you are lucky enough to sell a basic book, your reader is going to be disappointed when they discover that they could have found the same information with a simple Google search. They won't be impressed, they won't say good things about your book and they certainly won't buy another one of your books.

What this means to you is that you need to go beyond the obvious, the information that can easily be looked up and you need to take your e-book from average to awesome so that your readers love the information they get. When they are happy with their purchase they are likely to tell others about how great your book was and that's going to increase your sales.

Don't mistake this for meaning you have to write a university level book or that it has to be complex and hard to understand. Quite the opposite actually. You need to present complex information and interesting information in your book in a way that sets your book from others because it is easy to understand and grasp the information presented.

So when you are writing an e-book dig deep, find case studies if applicable, bring to life insights that aren't typically looked at, keep it unique, and give your readers value for their money.

5 Top Tips for Publishing Your Ebook

You've written an ebook and now it is time to publish. Let's look at 5 top tips for publishing your ebook to ensure you have great success.

#1 Market Research

The easiest way to research your market is to look up similar ebooks and figure out which are actually selling. Look at the cover of the ebook, the title, description, and table of contents of the ebooks that are selling and then see how your ebook fits in. You should consider whatever information you can get your hands on without actually buying the ebook. There is a reason their book is selling. If you can determine what it is, you can ensure your book has similar qualities.

#2 A Good Cover is Important

Too often the cover of an ebook is not given the attention it should. This is likely the most important factor linked to ebook sales. Of course, the bulk of your efforts should lie with your content because ultimately that's what is going to impress your readers after they buy your book, but the thing is when they are shopping a sharp cover will grab their attention. Having an aesthetically pleasing cover will certainly put you ahead of the competition that has not given their cover adequate attention.

Chapter 3 – Your Winter Warming Diet

The best part of winter is you don’t have to diet at all.

Now, there are people that may argue just the opposite, but when you look at diet logically, you CAN discover tools that will help create internal heat, the kind that warms you from the inside out.

When it comes to saving money on heating costs, most people think of things they can do around the house. There is however, another approach you can take to help “warm” your home during the winter, and it has more to do with what you put in your mouth than what you do with your home.

Most people don’t give much thought to the foods they eat - whether it is winter, spring or summer. Eating the right types of foods, however, can help you “warm up” internally during the colder months of winter. When you “feel” warmer, you naturally are less inclined to turn your furnace up higher to keep you and your home warmer.

If you manage to eat just the right combination of foods, you may even find you avoid gaining excess wait during the winter. Now that’s a benefit EVERYONE can enjoy. This is true especially during the holidays, when most people are prone to putting on a few pounds.

Summer Foods

There are winter warming foods and then there are summer foods. While this book is dedicated to keeping you warm during the winter, you should have an idea of what foods are better saved for the spring or summer.

If you tend to eat too many “summer” foods in the winter, you’ll likely feel cold no matter how high you turn the heat up in your home.

What does that mean? You should avoid eating large quantities of summer foods during the cold months. It isn’t a coincidence that some fruits, vegetables and other food products thrive during certain times of the year.

Typically cold foods including salads are helpful during the summer as they tend to keep your body cool. During the winter you are far better off eating stir fried or steamed vegetables than salad. Cold soups like gazpacho are another luxury item you should avoid during the winter to keep warm.

At the same time you may find gazpacho just the treat you need during the summer to cool off after a hard day’s work. Remember, think of your body as its own heat-creating machine. The more you work to stay warm from the inside out, the less energy you will expend heating from the outside in.

Warming Foods for Winter

So, what types of foods should you concentrate on eating during the winter? Here are some excellent ideas.

Curry – foods containing curry, an ingredient that helps spice foods, tend to be warming. Examples may include vegetable curry or Thai curry. You don’t have to be a chef to learn how to add curry to your diet. Simply go to your local grocer and look for the international foods section. Curry in scrambled eggs is excellent. Curry also tastes good when mixed with potato soup and other delights. Consider investing in a cookbook that teaches you fun and simple recipes you can adopt to help warm your body during the coldest months of the year.

Chili – chili is one of the simplest foods to make. Whether you are a vegetarian or a meat lover, you are bound to find a chili recipe you love. For the most part, chili is nothing more than some beans, vegetables and if you like, some form of meat mixed together and then spiced with various ingredients including cayenne pepper. If you don’t want to make your own chili sauce you can buy small packets for pennies on the dollar at the grocery store. You can make big batches of chili and freeze some to use later, for those extra cold days you need a lift.

Tea – Tea and other warm drinks are helpful for warming the soul during the winter. You can also enjoy other hot drinks like coffee, just be sure to eat something with your coffee so the acid doesn’t upset your stomach. Hot chocolate is another popular and tasty choice. You can even sip warm water with a splash of lemon to help cleanse your body and keep you warm during the winter.

Cayenne – Cayenne and other peppers are sometimes used in diet products. Why? They heat the body. They may also help boost your metabolism and may help keep the blood in your body circulating. There are many types of foods you can add cayenne spice to. If you prefer less spicy foods, you can actually get cayenne in a capsule at most health or herbal food stores. Check it out and try it.

Peppers – You don’t have to down a bowl full of jalapenos to stay warm (unless you want to). However, you can add a blend of various peppers to help add to the flavor of your main dishes and help warm your body during the winter. Peppers taste great with chicken, Thai or stir-fry dishes, in vegetable soups, with stews, in chili and more. Experiment with peppers and see what you like. You can even dice them and add them to hamburger mix to make a mighty hot meatloaf!

Here is another fun and helpful tip. You may already do this, but in case you don’t here is some good advice.

When you cook foods in your oven, leave your oven open to let heat escape into a room and provide instant relief from a chilly breeze or cold hands and feet. Certainly you’ve opened your freezer or refrigerator more than once during hot summer months to “cool down” haven’t you? The same concept applies to your oven. Stand next to any heat source, and you are likely to enjoy and reap the benefits of more heat.

Track Your Warm Winter Food Using Our Diary

The healthier and warmer foods you eat, the more likely you are to combat colds and other illnesses, which can contribute to feelings of cold or loss of heat. What are some foods you like to eat that provide you warmth and comfort? Create a list of your top five choices here, and make sure you have them readily available for times when the weather turns cold.

Chapter 3 - How to Become an AAT Specialist

Now that you understand how beneficial AAT is, you may have an interest in starting your own program or becoming an AA therapist. Fortunately, since the practice is now more commonplace than ever before, there are established guidelines that dictate who can offer AAT and how therapy should be conducted.

Standards Of Care

The American Kennel Club and Canine Good Citizen tests are often used to assess whether an animal meets the appropriate behavioral guidelines and socialization guidelines needed to provide supportive care.

Anyone participating in AAT must recognize that all care is very objective or goal-oriented, thus a licensed professional should supervise all therapy sessions. Typically, an animal therapist engages with a team of experts to ensure successful outcomes.

Before commencing a session, the therapist will discuss the goals and objectives of therapy with patients before practicing any treatment. Here are some strategic steps you can implement to get started with AAT:

First, find out if there is a local organization near you that offers training. Try to find a group that is nationally certified. Often you can find a group simply by conducting research on the Web, a local healthcare center, or veterinarian may be able to point you in the right direction.

Next, find out if your dog or other animal will qualify for participation. Most programs require dogs be at least one year before evaluation. Evaluations will include health evaluations, obedience and behavioral evaluations and temperament. Of these the temperament test is often the most telling, as it places the dog or animal purposely in a stressful or emotional environment then encourages a response. What most trainers look for is a dog that will remain neutral in a setting where chaos, crowding or other stressors may be present.

As an example, a dog may be exposed to a sudden loud noise. The evaluator will assess how much this stresses the animal and how the animal responds. Since the environments an animal will enter as a therapy dog are so diverse, it is important to asses how an animal will react. The goal here is to ensure the animal does not act in a violent or aggressive manner. Animal therapy sessions are truly enjoyable when you have an animal with a mild-mannered temperament.

Some dogs are more amicable than others. For example, some of the more popular breed of dog used in AAT include: Labradors, German Shepherds, Sheepdogs and Golden Retrievers.

Next, you will probably be assigned an evaluator to accompany you on observation visits, which is a time when you and your animal are objectively observed to see how comfortable you are and how you react in stressful situations. This step is a very important part of the process. We are often subjective about our own reactions to others, and about our pet’s abilities around others. An evaluator provides an objective review of your pet’s readiness to help others.

If you feel comfortable and your dog or other animal does as well, often you can proceed with certification. Keep in mind AAT typically refers to very formal treatment programs, where a handler works one-on-one with clients.

Good therapy pets are usually those that are calm and enjoy socializing with others. If you own an attack dog, a herder, or other boisterous animal chances are they are not a good choice or option as an animal assisted therapy pet.

What We Learned

Not every animal is ideally suited for pet therapy, nor is every pet owner a proper candidate to act as a volunteer or paid animal assisted pet therapist. Fortunately, with the increasing popularity of AAT, new standards have been established that outline the exact procedures one should follow if they want to become an animal therapist or if they want to train a pet as “pet” therapist.

If you have more questions about becoming an animal assisted therapist, there are many organizations that now offer training programs for people and pets alike.

Conclusions

Since the dawn of time human beings have used pets in various ways. Pet therapy is not something new, though it is something attracting more and more attention.

By nature, most pets are nurturing, caring and supportive. Many therapists are now using pets as part of routine practice. They are very capable of helping patients overcome disabilities, emotional barriers to communication and positive therapy and beneficial for patients suffering from isolation, depression or loneliness.

Not all pets are suitable for pet therapy. But, if you have an interest in training your dog or other pet as a “pet therapist” there are AAT training and certification programs throughout the nation that can assist you. Many of them are listed in our resources section. Pets truly are mans best friend.

Keep in mind you don’t have to own a pet to benefit from Animal Assisted Therapy. Many therapists have their own animals they bring to therapy sessions. Volunteers often bring their own pets to assisted living facilities or hospice, to act as companions or playful friends to those in need of comfort. This form of therapy can dramatically improve the quality of life of anyone, in a simple, easy and unique manner.

If you think you may benefit from AAT, talk with your healthcare provider and find out what types of therapy may be available near you. And don’t be surprised if the next time you visit your doctor, you find a dog sitting by his or her side. Tell your kids the same, because more and more animals are being introduced into ordinary classrooms to foster greater socialization and active learning.

How To Install And Test Windows 10 Personal Use Video

Are you tired of using windows 8?.

I guarantee you are not alone. Microsoft really dropped the ball with windows 8.

There are huge improvements in windows 10. try it out for free right now!

Dear Reader,

There were both good things and bad things that came along with Windows 8. Some of the good things were that it offered a big speed boost and it was very stable. And if you had a touch screen it was pretty neat to use.

Unfortunately there was a LOT of bad that went along with it.Way too much to make the good worth upgrading your system. If you used Windows 8 you know the jarring impact it had. The biggest mistake they made, in my opinion, was removing the start button. All of a sudden we were all thrust into this weird new way of doing things, which quire frankly sucked!

And to top it off, they refused to put it back! Sure they put a start button on the task bar, but all it did was take you to the new interface.You had to take matters into your own hands to put the classic start button back. But even doing that, you still did not get a smooth experience. You were constantly bouncing between the desktop and touch environments. The whole thing was (and still is for me at this point) painful!

Healing Through Ear Candling MRR Ebook

Chapter 7: What The Doctors Say

Synopsis

Ear candling, a method of treating upper respiratory issues is making a comeback. But a few physicians warn it might be unsafe.

The Medical View

A lot of physicians state more research is required. The Food and Drug Administration states the practice isn't safe and considers the ear candle an unregulated medical device.

We're more concerned that the consumer be cognizant of what they're purchasing and that they be alerted to the fact that we trust these to be a substantial health risk, said an FDA physician.

The agency has adopted steps to forbid the sale and distribution of ear candles in the U.S.

Candles have been said to be linked to infections and punctured eardrums.

An Ear, nose and throat specialist got interested after seeing a lot of patients with traumas from ear candling.

The specific injuries seen were infection of the outside ear canal following utilization of these candles as well as a burn of the auditory canal. Physicians say that they have seen patients with holes in their eardrums after utilization of the candles.

One particular study was done to determine if an ear candle may in reality create a vacuum as practitioners claim.

The discovery of this particular study was that there was no vacuum, or negative pressure, rendered by a burning ear candle. It was likewise explored whether an ear candle in reality may draw out material from within the ear.

What was discovered was that no wax was moved out from their ear canal, and as a matter of fact some of the wax was pushed in deeper because of the placement of the ear candle.

Devotees swear it works however.

However even practicianers recommend caution. You have to make certain that you have an alternative practitioner or somebody who utilizes only the highest grade candles to do this practice.

However physicians have a different suggestion.

Their recommendation is that ear candles might be a nice thing to have on the dining room table while you are having dinner. They shouldn't be placed in the ear and decidedly shouldn't be utilized to try to cleanse the ear at all.

Chapter 8: Other Natural Ways Of Cleaning The Ear

Synopsis

There's an old saying that advises putting nothing in your ears littler than your elbow. Put differently, no one ought to use anything mechanical to remove ear wax or any other blockage from the deepest part of the ear canal.

Even the manufacturers of cotton swabs accent the danger of utilizing their products to get rid of ear wax deposits. There are times when one has to remove ear wax safely, all the same, particularly when it affects one's hearing or might lead to an infection.

Natural Ways

To remove ear wax safely, a few suggest utilizing warmed oils like baby oil, mineral oil or olive oil to weaken the ear wax. A couple of drops of warmed, however not hot; oil ought to be placed cautiously in the ear canal as the patient lies on his or her side.

The oil ought to be allowed to remain in the ear canal for a couple of seconds to literally dissolve the ear wax. To remove ear wax following the oil being applied, the patient ought to lean his or head to one side and let the oil flow out by nature into a clean cloth. A provision of clean water may then be squirted into the ear to remove ear wax deposits that might persist.

A different way to remove ear wax safely is to utilize ear drops specifically developed to soften excessive wax. These ear drops are commonly sold in the pharmacy section of a department or grocery, along with other ear care products for swimmer's ear and common earaches.

Implement these ear drops according to the directions on the box. As a whole, a solution is dropped into the ear canal to weaken and liquefy extra ear wax. After a couple of moments, the solution is allowed to run out of the ear naturally. A few products that take out ear wax might include a rubberized bulb for flushing out residue.

A few experts advise that the safest way to remove ear wax isn't to remove it at all. The body makes ear wax for a reason - to trap exterior dirt and additional contaminants before they may reach the tender workings of the inner ear. While a few might find this waxy substance unlikable, it is not always judicious to remove ear wax strictly for aesthetics. Utilizing a cotton swab to get rid of ear wax in the ear canal may lead to compression of the wax or puncture of the ear drum.

Conventional thought today is to remove ear wax only if it becomes unreasonable or compromises hearing. Discolored or unreasonable ear wax might be a sign of a bigger issue, so you might need to plan a visit to your personal doctor for a more thorough exam.

In the meantime, avoid utilizing anything mechanical to get rid of ear wax, like a paper clip, cotton swab or car key. A deep itch in the ear canal may frequently be alleviated by plugging your nose and blowing air through the Eustachian tubes. Unreasonable ear wax buildup may become a severe issue, so seek medical attention if these home remedies don't bring relief.

Other Wavs To Get Rid Of Stuffy Ears Naturally

Put a heating pad just below the affected ear, making a point that the heat isn't too high. The pad ought to only be placed on the area for about half-hour. The heat from the pad permeates the inner side of the ear canal, loosing the congestion that has led to a blocked ear. Rinsing with warm water, to which half a teaspoon of salt has been added, might also be effective.
