Antique lacquer was always highly valued for its lasting qualities and strength. A very high gloss could be achieved, proving impervious to alcohol, acids and hot liquids. It would also have appealed to the Zen Buddhism ideals of ‘Yin and Yang’, as lacquer appears to be so delicately beautiful and light in weight. Yet, it is hard, impermeable and enduring.

However great care still needs to be taken when handling antique Japanese lacquer inro (especially when complete with ojime and a netsuke, or manju) as the inro can so easily be damaged by knocks. The most common cause of damage occurs when an inro is first picked up. If the netsuke, or manju, is allowed to swing and bump into the inro, the lacquer will certainly dent and worse still might chip.

The best and correct way to pick up an inro, is to firstly pick up the netsuke, or manju, then to hold and use the silk cord to turn the inro around to look at the other side when inspecting Inro, rather than to finger the lacquer, as there is something in our perspiration that dulls the shine in time. As an alternative some people only handle lacquer whilst wearing very soft gloves.

All lacquer is best kept in a reasonably humid atmosphere, avoiding any sudden changes of temperature. In some climates this is difficult to arrange, without having good airconditioning. It is also a good idea to keep a bowl, or two, of water where ever the inro are stored, but even more important to avoid the use of any hot spot lights within the same cabinet.

Antique Japanese lacquer Inro and boxes are such incredibly beautiful works of art, that I consider many of them to rate very highly, amongst the finest treasures of the World! So it is well worth while taking good care of them.

Having a backyard pond is a great way to showcase a home’s landscaping. It adds character and fun to a normally wide open space. The pond pump is an essential device when one wants to add moving water to their pond. There are many different styles and types of pond pumps, so it is easy to get confused on how to find the pump that works best for an individuals situation.

Understanding the essential keys about pond pumps is important in finding the best pond pump. Pumps are categorized by the amount of water they pump. This is based on the gallons of water a pump can move in an hour. It also must pump this amount at least one foot or higher for the same amount of time. Pump manufacturers provide easy to use charts that explain each pump and how much water they move. The best pond pump for a certain pond is chosen based upon how much water is in the pond. The water should be turned at least one turn every hour. So essentially a pond with 200 gallons of water needs a 200 gallon per hour pump. That seems too simple, and it is because there are other factors to consider. Anything that could reduce the flow of water such as waterfalls or filters have to be considered. To avoid this issue a person should buy a larger pump than they figured based solely upon the water amount.

The next step in choosing a pump is deciding between submersible and external pumps. Submersible pumps are located in the pond, while external ponds are outside the pond. Submersible pumps are usually favored because they have many great features. They do not produce noise, can be used to drain the pond and are less expensive to use than external pumps. They do, however, pose problems that are not common in external pumps. Submersible pumps often need seals replaced as they wear out easy with the constant water exposure, broken seals can cause a release of gas that can harm pond fish and they cost more to buy.

Pond pumps are a must for a clean and beautiful pond. Finding the best pond pumps can be tricky. With a little knowledge and use of manufactures recommendations the best pump can be found. Pond pumps provide for a well kept and striking pond.

By “impossible” I am referring to something that you would like to be, have or do, but it currently seems like way out of reach, and as much as you genuinely desire to live that dream, it appears impossible to you. The purpose of this article is to show you the process necessary to overcome the “impossible” barrier and to open the way for the realization of your “impossible” dreams.

* * *

Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying” she said. “One can’t believe impossible things”.

“I daresay you haven’t had much practice”, said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

- “Through the Looking Glass” by Lewis Carroll

* * *

Everything anyone has ever accomplished in life began with a dream, with an idea. It doesn’t matter if the person desired to create financial wealth, to heal himself from terminal illness, to attract that special someone, to influence others using mind-power, to play a music instrument, to use telepathy, to teleport, to levitate, to manifest money out of thin air (universal substance), to create an airplane or a TV or a computer or Internet - it all began with an idea.

You may have a tendency to distinguish between what you consider to be impossible for you, and what you believe to be impossible based on general opinion (a limited perception of a particular culture or society).

Once upon a time, the idea of a radio or TV was considered impossible. One brave man, whose best friends took him to psychiatric hospital to be examined after he announced that he had discovered a way to transmit sound and pictures through the ether - persisted. And thanks to him, today we can all share the blessings of his “impossible dream”.

Any invention we enjoy today came about because someone was brave enough to follow his heart and his dream, in spite of everyone else’s opinion that this man (or a woman) lost his mind and was just chasing an “impossible dream”.

There are many abilities that small pockets of humanity have developed through practice, yet to most people even the existence of these abilities is unknown, or seems possible only within the realm of science fiction.

Then there are experiences you’d like to have, and which you know that are possible for others because others have accomplished them, but you have no idea how to go about creating these experiences for yourself . So, they seem totally out of reach - they are your “impossible” dreams.

The process for realizing any type of “impossible dream” is the same.

The first requirement is that YOU MUST WANT IT. It has to be YOUR DREAM, not someone else’s dream. The idea of accomplishing this “impossible” dream has to be EXCITING to you. It is not enough that you merely wish you had that experience, you must DESIRE it with your entire being. You have to FEEL the FIRE of that DESIRE burning with you, consuming your entire being. It’s this fire that will BURN AWAY and consume all the obstacles in your way.

Then you must DECIDE that you’re going to have it no matter what, even if you don’t have a clue how it’s going to come about. “HOW” is really not the part you need to concern yourself with. It’s not part of your job. “WHEN” is also not the part you need to concern yourself with.

Your sheer DETERMINATION to get your outcome will open the way for the “how”. You must then ACT. You must be WILLING TO DO whatever it takes to bring this about. IF you’ve DONE ALL you knew how and were capable of doing, the universe will fill out the missing parts - it will provide you with whatever it takes to make your impossible dream possible.

If you need greater strength, it will be supplied. Have you ever heard of a mother who, in order to save the life of her small child, who wondered under a huge truck, was able to single-handedly lift it? This “miracle” may be contrary to the physical laws, but is not contrary to the spiritual laws. What happened was that in that moment of need and total surrender, she merged totally with the universal energy, like a drop of water merges with an ocean, and partook of its strength and power. She opened herself to power, and the needed power flowed freely through her. The power with which she was able to accomplish this “miracle” was not “hers”, it was part of the infinite ocean of energy. While none of us is actually separate from this infinite ocean of energy, we can cut ourselves of through the thoughts and beliefs we hold in our minds (primarily through believing ourselves to be separated and isolated from this all-powerful loving and intelligent force).

If you need food, it will be supplied. If you need money it will be supplied. If you need time it will be supplied. If you need information, it will be supplied. The supply doesn’t come out of nothing - it comes through “exchange of energy”. There is always something you have to “invest”. When you work with mind-power and hypnosis - the primary investment consists of your “emotional energy”. You may have seen the word emotion spelled as “e-motion” which translates into “energy in motion”. You move this infinite supply of energy to re-arrange itself and fill your needs through your emotions of DESIRE, DECISION, DETERMINATION and EXPECTATION.

If you’re stuck in a situation where in spite of all of your knowledge and abilities there truly isn’t anything you can do to get out of a messy situation - the infinite intelligence and power will intervene and bring your outcome even through what may seem to be a sheer miracle - an event that defies physical laws.

There are other laws, universal laws - laws of the mind, laws of the spirit - that transcend physical laws, yet to truly benefit from them, you have to live according to them. I will write more about these universal laws later on - at this point I simply want to mention that just because an event seems impossible according to known physical laws, it doesn’t make it impossible according to universal laws. And the first and the most important law is the LAW OF LOVE. By becoming obedient to the LAW OF LOVE, the gates of heaven will open for you and whatever you may ever need or desire will gladly rush your way.

To use hypnosis and your mind-power successfully, you only need to abide by laws of the mind because they have the power to over-ride physical laws.

In order for universal laws to take effect, in order to call miracles into your life, you must have TRUST and FAITH. In other words, first you must acknowledge that SOMETHING GREATER THAN YOU exists, which is able, willing and knows how to assist you - if you would let it. A way of showing your TRUST and FAITH is by whole-heartedly EXPECTING to get what you desire.

The truth is that every single person at some point in his life gets a vision, a thought, an idea of living a dream-life, of accomplishing something that is GREATER than himself, a dream that seems totally out of reach, a dream that seems IMPOSSIBLE to accomplish. This inherent GREATNESS is part of every single human being. And, yes fulfilling this “impossible dream” does feel like “mission impossible” - because you were never intended to accomplish it on your own. And it’s up to you whether you choose to accept or reject this mission.

The purpose of this “impossible dream” is not to tantalize you, torment you or make you feel inadequate to rise to the challenge. Its purpose is to motivate you to become aware of and to express this GREATER SELF in your life, by aligning with its love, power and wisdom, by learning that IT is YOUR BEST FRIEND and that it is always present to help you. This GREATER SELF IS the very LIFE that animates your body.

The “impossible dream” is actually a dream this GREATER SELF desires to express through you. This GREATER SELF IS the SOURCE of this dream AND the WAY through which this dream becomes realized. You were never meant to bring this dream about with your limited wisdom and power, but by learning how to harness the wisdom and the power of this GREATER SELF. Without ITS assistance, the dream will remain impossible. With ITS assistance the dream will be possible.

The whole point and purpose of hypnosis and the hypnotist is to help you connect with this GREATER SELF that is present within you and all around you. In hypnosis, it is sometimes referred to as your Superconscious or as your unconscious. The latter term means that you’re unconscious of the infinite resources within you, but it doesn’t do much to develop a relationship of trust, faith and understanding of the wonderfulness of your Greater Self.

If you ever stumble upon a hypnotist who tells you “hypnosis can help you achieve this, but it cannot help you achieve that” - it only demonstrates that this hypnotist has not yet had a chance to get intimately acquainted with that GREATER SELF within him and speaks based on his own “limited understanding”. Also, a hypnotist who has not acquainted himself with this GREATER SELF may or may not be able to help you, simply because his own convictions and beliefs will get silently transmitted (thoughts do get transmitted through the thin air, much like sounds and pictures you listen to on the radio and watch on TV).

The way you “grow in power” to do impossible things is through daily practice and through correct use of the power / ability you desire to increase. This is true whether you’re a weight-lifter and desire to be able to lift more weight, whether you desire to master any other physical skill, or whether you desire to master, what are commonly referred to as “supernatural” powers (the development of these is strictly in the area of mastering your mind-power and are totally subject to the laws of the mind).

Our world generally classifies things that are subject to physical laws as “natural”, and things that are subject to mental (spiritual) laws as “supernatural”. Because medical science has not devised instruments to measure the quotient of your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs - when a person recovers from terminal illness through the use of his “mind-power” it is considered supernatural. In physical terms if you can’t touch something - it’s not considered “real” - yet LOVE is the most powerful force and whether you’re on giving or on the receiving end of genuine love, I’m sure that it feels REAL. On my part I can attest that the greatest things I have accomplished in my life are those which I did out of love.

The incorrect use of power / ability leads to a temporary loss or diminishment of power. If you use incorrectly your physical abilities / powers, you can injure yourself and find yourself prevented temporarily or permanently from exercising these powers. The same is true of using your mental powers / abilities. As you exercise your desired power / ability on daily basis and use it correctly, it will grow. Eventually, it will become a part of your unconscious process and then using it will become “a piece of cake”. You’ll just use it automatically whenever necessary or whenever you desire it.

Now, I’d like to remind you that YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE. Just about anything you are able to do today - easily, effortlessly, unconsciously - seemed at some point in your life impossible. The only difference between those things you have chosen to master and those that have remained impossible is that you were TOTALLY MOTIVATED to master the first, and with some of them you had TOTAL SUPPORT of people around you (no one ever told you “that’s impossible”), and you were DETERMINED to MASTER THOSE SKILLS because they were VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU - perhaps to your SURVIVAL. There was never a question whether you can or you can not - you JUST simply HAD TO DO IT. Those you haven’t even attempted to master didn’t seem THAT IMPORTANT to you.

There was a time when you didn’t know how to walk. You didn’t even have a clue how you’re going to be able to walk. All that you had was a sense of DETERMINATION that you’ll master the art of walking no matter what. Failure was not an option. You focused all your energy on accomplishing this dream (yes, there was a time when even being able to walk was only a dream), and what made mastering this ability even easier - not only did you EXPECT that you will be able to walk, but EVERYONE AROUND you EXPECTED IT, too.

And you went through the same process when you were learning how to talk, how to write, and how to do many other things that are so easy for you to do today that you don’t even think about them as POWERS.

Then, you started to have some dreams that OTHER PEOPLE didn’t perceive as possible, some dreams that even well-known experts pronounced as impossible. Or maybe you found yourself surrounded with people who attempted to talk you into (and maybe succeeded) shoving your dreams under the carpet and pursuing theirs. And maybe you discovered that this may all worked fine and well for them, but it left you feeling unhappy, unfulfilled or somehow inadequate.

There is a perfect place in this world for each one of us, but to live from that place of happiness and fulfillment, we have to have the guts to follow our own dreams, no matter how “impossible” they may appear to be at a time. The world belongs to those who dare - to follow their own hearts, to give all they’ve got to bring about their own dreams. That is also the secret of happiness. And, a truly happy person will always wish happiness, fulfillment and well being upon others. We all share with the world what we’ve got - what we are - intentionally and unintentionally. A person who truly feels good about himself will desire others to feel good. A person who lives his life in fear will desire other people to live in fear - in well-meaning people, this can take form of “protecting you” from getting hurt. Choose your friends wisely. They can propel you to reach the stars, or they can take you down the drain with them.

Take some time EVERY DAY to DO SOMETHING that seems a bit “impossible” for you. You can only develop your powers and abilities through practice and application. You will not just wake up one morning and become something or somebody else. You’ll change and grow and become more by daily exercising the powers and abilities you have (if you don’t use them, you lose them), by stretching beyond and overcoming your limitations step by step. Begin with smaller ones and move toward bigger. This will condition your subconscious mind for success and the mastery of each new ability will get easier and easier - until each one becomes a part of you, an unconscious process, which you’ll be able to do automatically, without thinking - just like you’re able to walk and talk.

Losing Weight quickly and easily has become one of the main goals of many people today. So, with all the information out there, where is the best place to find what you’re looking for? I believe it is here, as I will explain. Let me first begin by asking, “What have you been told about Ephedra, the miracle weight loss herb, that may or may not be true?” In this short article, we will be looking at some of those “lies” and dispelling the myths about Ephedra and how it can actually help you to lose weight quickly, easily, and most importantly, how it can do it safely; and how it can do all this while helping to make you feel better about yourself. This is one of those times when what you don’t know can really hurt you.

Just recently the FDA reversed their decision to ban products containing Ephedra. Which is good news for everyone! There was a legal battle, which you may already know, between the FDA and health officials because the health officials were not happy with the FDA’s decision, especially because it seemed the FDA had snuck around to get what they wanted. The FDA did not take proper actions in declaring the ban on Ephedra based products. So, how does this affect you? Continue reading and you will very shortly find out.

Let me first take this brief moment to explain why the FDA found it necessary to declare the ban in the first place. They felt there were too many problems occurring, some of which led to deaths, when Ephedra was involved. The most notable example being a professional baseball player who died sometime after taking an Ephedra based product to increase his performance. The FDA soon decided the drug was too risky and the negatives outweighed the positive aspects of the drug. So, why write an article about the ban on Ephedra? Well, since the use of Ephedra goes back thousands of years to the ancient Chinese civilizations where it was widely used for many reasons, I thought there must have been something good about the product that it would last all these years. I am also writing to give you confidence in knowing this drug is in no way more dangerous than any other drug which is used to help lose weight, one of the main differences in Ephedra is its benefits go beyond that of just losing weight, which quickly moves it up in the ranks of becoming a miracle product.

I have found that those who had serious problems with the use of Ephedra were the same ones who abused the drug thinking they could increase the benefits by taking more at one time. So how do YOU benefit from Ephedra products? Please, be smart and don’t abuse this miracle product. The FDA lifted the ban recently because they realized Ephedra products, if used properly, had astounding benefits, especially in helping to lose weight and increase energy and metabolism! This is what the ancient Chinese had found thousands of years ago. They knew Ephedra was a miracle, and its benefits were great, especially if used properly. So, what does all this mean for you? Keep reading to find out how you can benefit from Ephedra and where you can find it cheap!

Ephedrine, which is the active chemical in the Ephedra shrub, has many different medicinal uses. It can be found in many over-the-counter medications such as Sudafed, Contac, Primatene, and Bronkaid. So from these examples we see many benefits from Ephedra and how common it actually is. It has been used for asthmatic problems, bronchial problems, and most importantly, weight loss. It has been shown that Ephedra is a powerful blood purifier, being a popular folk remedy for such conditions as arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis and other painful muscle and joint problems. Since Ephedra is a vasoconstrictor, it has been used to stop internal bleeding. These benefits are just a small sample of the many Ephedra has. It was soon found that one of the main benefits to users was the loss of weight, when the product was taken properly, which is very important for your health.

So how can Ephedra help you lose weight and feel great about the way you look? Keep reading and I will explain this right now. At the moment, because of the recent lift on the ban of Ephedra, there is only one company that is able to legally sell Ephedra based products. This company has bought the rights to market an Ephedra based product that aids in weight loss. The product they market is known as Betafuel and has many benefits, but the main goal of Betafuel is to help its users to lose weight quickly and easily. If you are interested in this product, and would like to find out more information concerning Betafuel, it can be found here at http://www.secretsofephedra.com.

Being overweight is not the end of the world and there are many things you can do to lose the weight. Many of those “remedies,” such as dieting and exercise, don’t work for many people, as you may already know. Now, because losing weight is something everyone is trying to do these days, many become frustrated and depressed when these “remedies” don’t work, but don’t give up. There is never a better time than now to start losing the weight you’ve always wanted. And Ephedra has been proven time and time again, as the ancient Chinese figured out, to drastically improve the lives of those who have used it properly. Betafuel is the only Ephedra based product available at this time with huge benefits of losing weight, as well as other life changing benefits. Once again, it can be found at http://www.secretsofephedra.com.

So, take charge of your life and start feeling great about the way you look by losing all the weight you’ve ever wanted. May this be the change in your life you will never forget, and always be thankful for. Thanks for reading.

Jan Dogterom is dedicated to providing the best weight loss product using Ephedra, an ancient chinese herb used to lose weight, increase energy and metabolism, and decrease appetite. Betafuel is one such product highly recomended as well as a product called Nitetrim.

Betafuel can be found at http://www.secretsofephedra.com

Lawsuit Loans. No Risk Loans

A relatively new source of financing is now available for both individuals
and business owners. It is called lawsuit financing, often referred to as lawsuit loans or lawsuit funding. But these are not loans because the money does not have to be paid back unless the case is won.

Lawsuit financing (loans) help clients who are having financial difficulties. Lawsuit funders do not require credit checks, monthly payments, notes, or any other security.

Frequently, claimants have missed work or lost their job and can no longer meet their rent or automobile payments. In the past, these claimants have needed to accept lesser settlement amounts due to pressing financial difficulties. Now, clients can sustain their personal lives and give the attorney the necessary time to achieve the full value of the case.

Often times, individual claimants and commercial litigants require financial loan assistance prior to settlement or judgment. Types of cases that qualify are:

- Personal Injury: Automobile Accidents, Any Type

- Malpractice: Medical-Legal, Accounting, Construction,

- Wrongful Termination

- Discrimination

- Harassment: Sexual/Rape, Any Type

-And much more

There are a handful of companies that provide lawsuit funding. For more information on these lawsuit
loan companies please visit http://www.fredcoutts.com/indexlawsuit.htm. Each company provides funding that is specific to their criteria. All lawsuit funding companies will provide funding
for personal injury lawsuits. But there are only a couple that will fund commercial and other non- personal injury lawsuit cases.

Rates will vary depending upon the risk. Lawsuit funding companies will generally finance up to 10-15% of the potential settlement value. For example, if the case has a potential value of $100,000, you can expect a funding offer of $10,000 to $15,000. Lawsuit funding companies carefully analyze the cases they choose to fund. They must like the lawyer as well as the potential settlement value.

Lawsuit funding is available in most states and can be a very beneficial source of funds.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?”

Remember that question from your younger days? Adults seem almost programmed to ask it, don’t they? Maybe you remember asking that same question to your own or another’s child recently. Remember?

I do.

And - do you remember any of your own answers to that question? I know it probably changed many times throughout the process of “growing up” but can you remember some of the answers?

I remember some of mine: policeman, fireman, architect, lawyer. I’m sure there were more but can’t remember too many at this point. What I do remember is the feeling that went along with the decision of choosing one or another. It was a feeling of being in a position of importance. To be able to help others in need or to be looked upon with respect and admiration because I created something really great.

I didn’t know it then but I was expressing the drive to be a leader. Maybe not the ‘top’ leader like a general or the president but a leader who made things happen in the world. I wanted to be someone who lead the way, not followed. Many people would say that I, and many greater men and women before me were born or destined to be leaders - as though fate had somehow selected us at birth to be who we are today. I know that many believe that leaders are born, but I can assure you that leaders are made.

Contrary to popular belief, birth has nothing to do with being a leader. However, learning to develop the traits of confidence, compassion, respect, and many more, do. Having a vision and the ability to communicate that vision to others - setting down a workable plan and having the discipline to act upon that plan until the vision, goal or dream has become real in the world - are the signs of a leader.

I believe that whenever we feel the drive to step out of our day-to-day routine - to volunteer time and energy to a local cause like the fire department, Scouts, or other group - and yes, to join a martial arts school - we are seeking to get back to that drive toward leadership.

Everyone, whether secretly or publicly wants to be a leader. Parents want their children to grow up to be leaders - not followers. It’s a natural drive. But, many of us either have not been ‘lucky’ enough to encounter role models in our lives who pointed the way or showed us how, or we did and didn’t recognize the gift presented to us at the time. What if we didn’t overlook the gift hidden in the question? What if we didn’t forget the dreams of the child still there within us?

In the martial arts, the symbol of leadership is the Black Belt. In many arts, like ninjutsu, it ’s not so much the belt as the rank, skill, or title of authority that tells others that you have more to offer than a physical ability to defend yourself.

The true master is the person who is strong enough to do whatever is necessary. He or she is powerful enough to do real damage but exceeds that ability with the power of choice - the power to choose peace over conflict. And you can see it when they move. You can feel it when you’re near them. You can sense it when they speak.

Unfortunately, many people want to be leaders and many more tell you to take more responsibility (another important trait of a leader) and go after what you want, but, there just aren’t that many who will show you step-by-step, just how to go about doing it like a good martial arts master. I feel especially fortunate in this respect. Fortunate to have encountered teachers, guides and role-models in my own life that were strong and powerful enough to have shared with me the knowledge for taking charge of my life. Knowledge that I can now pass on to my children and students.

So, what about you? Are you living up to your fullest potential? Are you ready to join others just like yourself on the path of the Warrior Leader? Are you ready to stop dreaming and start living?

We’re waiting for you!

Among the various foolproof methods used to boost traffic to your site (ezine advertising, and search engine submitting, to name a couple) one method seems to be forgotten about by many new Internet marketers. That method is writing press releases.

Press releases are a way to get your business exposed to more and more would be customers. They are written as a news article and submitted to editors who would then print them or follow up with you for a story.

An example of a successful press release can be found at http://www.allprobizops.com/successrelease.html Take a moment to read through that article and then take a closer look.

You’ll find that this press release, just like any good news article, answers some basic questions for the reader. Not only that, there is a specific formula involved in constructing the piece.

Here are the questions:

Who…will bring or brought about the event?

What…is going to happen or has happened?

Where…will or did this take place?

When…will or did the event occur?

Why…will or did it occur?

How…will or did it happen?

Now, here is the formula. If you plan to write a great press release you must know and understand how to build it:

First is the headline. Choose the words carefully to convey several things at once to the reader. They must be brief and to the point. You say what the news is about in ten words or less.

The words of your headline must be exciting and dynamic. Don’t be afraid to make a bold claim your headline, say for example, “Thousands of People Reap Thousands in New Internet Business.” Just be sure - very sure - you back this up with proven facts in your article.

The next component in the formula is the opening. This is where, in no more than two sentences, you capsulate your information - tell what the article is going to be about in bite size. Answer the “who, what, when, where, why, and how” questions as briefly as possible. Save details for later.

Analyze this part of your press release carefully. To be successful the article must be able to peak the readers’ attention at this point. In other words, if they read nothing further, they have all the information they need to take action.

Now, shape the third element, the body. Elaborate on your opening. Add descriptions and benefits, quotes and testimonials. Be sure all of your quotes begin and end with quotation marks and give credit and credentials to the persons you quote.

For instance, instead of ending a quote with, “says Barbara Smith,” end it with “says Barbara Smith, six figure online entrepreneur and highly praised lecturer on small business on the World Wide Web. Isn’t the second way much more powerful and convincing (provided of course, it’s true)? That’s giving credit AND credentials.

Finally, close your press release with a short call to action. Use a sentence to summarize, then tell your readers how they may get more information. Don’t go for the jugular here, though; wait for a follow up contact to make your final sale. But do use action producing words like “get” and “now” (”Get more information “now” by phoning [your name] at [your phone number]).

A few final words are important now. Let me combine them with an exercise to help you remember the five “w’s” and one “h” of successful news writing. Make sure you thoroughly consider these questions as you plan and write your release:

Who…will benefit from reading your press release?

What…do you want them to know?

When…is your information available?

Where…can they find more information?

Why…is your information valuable in the lives of your readers?

How…is your information unique? It’s going to be submerged in a sea of press releases your intended publisher will have to review.

These are the best means I know to get your press release published once it’s submitted to an editor.

P.S. More on this topic can be found by reading Dr. Randall Hansen’s Guide to Writing Successful Press Releases at http://www.stetson.edu/~rhansen/prguide.html.

P.P.S. Directories to find places to submit your press release can be found near the end of the same web page.

If you are a vegetarian parent you have probably considered putting your child on a vegetarian diet. Not only would it save you time and make meal planning easier, but for dietary reasons or ethical reasons you may believe it is the best choice for your child.

Conversely, you may not be a vegetarian but you may have a child who is at a vegetarian phase where he or she is rejecting meat but doesn’t eat enough healthy foods to compensate for the nutritional gap.

Whatever the case may be, you may be wondering if a vegetarian diet is a sustainable, healthy choice for your child. Or, perhaps you have heard that a vegetarian diet could potentially stunt the growth of your child.

These concerns probably prevented you from putting your child on a vegetarian diet up to this point.

You should be aware that these concerns are in-fact legitimate issues and that if a vegetarian diet is poorly planned, it can cause serious long term and short term deficiencies especially in children who do not have sufficient stores of vitamins and minerals in their bodies as yet.

If you have not done sufficient research and are not well-prepared for the task of putting your child on a vegetarian diet, then you probably should not. However, if you’ve done your research and are aware of the kind of nutrients that vegetarian diets lack, then you know that these problems can easily be over-come with some meal planning.

You will probably be aware that putting your child on a vegetarian diet can greatly improve his or her health and limit the exposure to animal products that are often linked to hormones and preservatives.

To begin your child on a vegetarian diet you should make sure that you your meal-planning ensures enough of the following elements that vegetarian diets lack:

1) Protein - make sure that your child is getting enough protein from additional sources such as nuts and soybeans.

2) Calcium - ensure that your child is getting enough calcium in his diet by including lots of green leafy vegetables to his diet.

3) Iron - add more iron to your child’s diet by increasing beans, soybeans, tofu and cereals.

4) Zinc - enhance your child’s Zinc intake by increasing, nuts, peanut butter, and mushrooms.

If you concentrate on compensating for all of these common deficiencies that vegetarian diets lack, then, you can absolutely put your child on a vegetarian diet without any negative consequences.
