Answer Upon - You Need Not Lose Your Marbles!
Are agents saying, "No thanks," to your query letters? Or worse, are they ignoring them?It may not be your novel but how you describe it that's keeping your manuscript unread.When you finish your novel and have revised, edited and polished it, you reach a new challenge on your path to becoming a selling author. Now you need to convince someone you have never met to read your manuscript and believe it will sell to a publisher. And you have only a one-page letter in which to do this.The biggest mistake writers make in drafting a query letter is not realizing the letter is an important sales tool. It must sell the agent on the idea that he wants to represent your novel. An agent wo
I was recently at the graduation exercises of one of my sons-in-law for his successful training in military intelligence and interrogation. The graduation exercises were held at a local military base.The graduation exercises both began and ended with a prayer to God for the safety and success of our men in uniform in harm’s way who are fighting this war on terror.I was deeply moved and impressed at the openness and sincerity of our troops who prayed, unashamed and publicly, supplicating the God of the Universe for guidance and support in the continuing struggles against evil that is perpetuating upon this earth.It gave me pause to reflect upon my own attitude, and the attitudes
But we still fear the possibility -- and rightly so. International studies make it clear that dementia occurs in every country of the world. The 2006 estimate of 24 million people with dementia is expected to rise to 81 million by 2040. Of these, 71% will be living in the developing regions. And Alzheimer's accounts for between 50% and 70% of all dementias.
Sobering statistics. No wonder the boomers are starting to take more notice as they approach 60 and beyond. So Who Are You? Your memories define who you are. Lose your memory and you lose you. It happened to me in 2001. And the lesson learned was dreadful. The. Most. Frightening. Experience. In. My. Life. I was walking when, suddenly, I lost most of my memory. Bang. Gone. No warning. Fortunately I knew where I lived so I could keep walking. The hamster had gone but the wheel kept turning...
That's all I could remember. I'd even lost who I was. I did know that all was far from well. Intense fear gripped my bowels and stomach. Sweat oozed from every pore. And I screamed. A primal sound from my very core, that apparently almost froze the blood of a nearby witness to my distress.
I made it home -- somehow. For days afterwards little bits of memory began to return, much to my wife's relief, as well as mine. A case of Transient Global Amnesia, according to the neurologist. Triggered by stress in my particular case, and unlikely to return as long as I made some life-changes. I quickly made those, I can tell you! But as I became more together and more me again I became more aware of, and unsettled by, the gaps that remained. They've since closed and it's Max-intact once again. I'm me again. In fact, the Mark 2 version is now much sharper. That's because of
If you've been on the Internet for a while, you've probably seen numerous examples of JavaScript use. JavaScript is a powerful scripting language used to create special effects on your website, but did you know it can also be used as a very powerful web design tool?Have you ever joined a new affiliate program or created a new publication that you wanted to add to your existing navigational set up, but dreaded having to manually add the links to every page on your site?You can use JavaScript to enable you to dynamically update every page on your website with just one file. This technique is the same technology used by numerous syndication services on the Internet. It enables them to del

The problem with My space is it really isn't your space , it's their space and if they don't like what you write to your friends they will wipe your profile from existence. Now Iam not talking about vulgarities or annoying spam, just plain conversation that two people may have with one another, maybe even a disagreement. I thought freedom of the press was alive on the internet but apparently it has died. I refuse to put my name to this article because I am sure my two existing profiles will be obliterated if any My space censors have a clue who wrote this piece.This all began a month ago. I was being bothered by a so called "friend" I had made from My space. He wrote every few days for about

If you supplement your income with Ebay or another internet source like so many do these days, you are probably aware of the importance of good photographs. At any given time you can browse listings that feature out of focus, dark or distant objects. It is frustrating for the buyer and a potential lost sale for the seller. A picture is definitely worth a thousand words when money is involved, and a description can only do so much. In the end, the photo sells the product. Of course, we can't all have a professional studio in our home, but we can reserve a corner of a spare room for taking pictures.One mistake many sellers make is a good professional background. So many harbor a busy back

Heart attacks are a major cause of death and disability. Most people assume that the onset of a heart attack is accompanied by a series of symptoms such as chest pain and pain in the right arm or passing out. For the victim of the silent heart attack this is not always the case. The silent heart attack can come on with very minor symptoms and be just as deadly as any other heart attack. A heat attack occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle itself is blocked and causes part of the heart to die. This in turn causes the heart to malfunction.Recovering from a heart attack is contingent on the swiftness of the reaction to its symptoms. Delay can be deadly in the event of a heart attack. By virt
Gaps In Our Reality
Believe me, it's the gaps that are the most distressing. For Alzheimer's victims, as the gaps develop and widen, they suffer. And it's surely worse for friends and relatives. Mornings, I fix sick computers at peoples' homes. I often help one lovely chap in his early 80s. Speaking of his Alzheimer's-afflicted wife, he said to me one day "She's disappearing before my eyes..." I almost wept at the look on his face. Sadly, there are no cures for Alzheimer's -- yet. Certainly there's some promising research on mice by a Melbourne team in Australia that could point to a possible cure. But nothing definitive right now.
A Positive Outlook However, all is not lost by any means. Be uplifted. Be positive. Because there are steps we can take to prevent and avoid Alzheimer's-- international research is pretty clear about that. The links between Alzheimer's and diet, genes, exercise, blood pressure, obesity, cholesterol, alcohol, diabetes, certain drugs, the effects of mercury and aluminium, are all becoming more widely known and understood.
That's lead to well-documented, preventative measures we can all take. Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging, and there are ways to reduce your chances of getting the disease.
From teenagers who want to get it all together, to boomagers who want to keep it all together, there certainly are things we can all do:
* to improve our memory
* to exercise our brain
* even to avoid dementia
Sure, dementia can happen to anyone, but is not a normal part of aging.
