Pariah, a new book by Javed Iqbal Sheikhborn, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

An active volcano has its own period of dormancy and eruptions – beyond the control of its victims.
The tyrant’s rule supposedly ended after the death of the military ruler in 1988. But, the people are still trying to find the ways to explain his impact on the culture and history of the nation. Despite the enormity of the loss of a generation, this is a country that still advocates a manipulator of the worst kind.

Like an epic poem, Pariah preaches love for humanity and God. It is a depiction of love bond within blood and beyond. It is a reflection on friendship and the story of an era, and how a nation keeps on living.

The Polls of Heaven, a new book by C. Paul Owens, has been released by RoseDog Books.

After Clint Greene sold his weekly newspaper in Ohio following the death of his wife, he returned to his family home in the Cumberland Mountains of Kentucky overlooking an unnamed town (for obvious reasons), the setting for a large part of our story. Soon after his return, Clint went down the hill to the business person’s morning coffee hour in the back of the town’s only drug store.

Clint was looking for old friends who might still be alive, finding a few, very few. The coffee “club” was now a debate hour for these intellectuals who felt their purpose was to solve the world’s problems. Today it was climate change, possibly meaning the end of it all. There was also a belief that TV and a cynicism of the age had brought about a dramatic loosening of morals, especially among the young. The coffee clubbers had declared they no longer had a leader to guide them out of their troubles and threats of world’s end.

The three coffee club instigators decided to form OMEN, Old Men to save Earth’s Neighborhoods. The three were veterans of three wars. The local editor and his woman were in the Battle of Chicago, rebels of the post-war rebellion against their society. Clint himself was a Marine in the Southwest Pacific jungles and the third began his war against his native Russia. He went over to the Allies as a fighter against the communists who had taken over his Mother Russia and his people. As a Cossack, the Russian’s tribe had supported the Tsars for four hundred years. After the war he’d found a girl in Britain, only learning later that she had borne him a son. He had been forced to leave to pursue and kill a fellow Cossack. The man had betrayed his people to Stalin, his identification of those fellow soldiers resulting in their deaths. The pursuit had led him to find a home in the Kentucky hills.

Three men and their women, two weddings, a father’s search for his son and a question over the fate of OMEN’s future all figure in the story.

The Polls of Heaven is a 390-page hardcover with a retail price of $29.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-7781-5. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Wesley Chapel, FL, May 16, 2018 – Market Technologies, the company behind world-renowned artificial intelligence trading software VantagePoint, today announced it has been recognized as a winner of the Best Places to Work award by The Tampa Bay Business Journal for 2018.

Market Technologies was named a winner as one of the Best Places to Work in Tampa Bay by the Tampa Bay Business Journal. The Best Places to Work award recognizes companies with the best morale, engagement and retention. Listees are chosen by the top overall scores of anonymous surveys completed by the employees at each organization that was nominated in the state of Florida.

Market Technologies employees scored the company on several different areas that make up the overall culture of the company. The consensus was that the company cultivates an environment that fosters innovation, personal and professional growth and a place that the employees like to call their second home.

The company provides several fun perks such as free breakfasts every Friday, occasional free lunches, 100% paid healthcare and frequent themed events at the office. And even though the costs of the company-covered healthcare plan significantly increased at the beginning of this year, Market Technologies decided to continue the generous initiative.

“When it was brought to my attention that the health care costs were raising significantly, we had to make the tough decision on whether to accept the even heavier financial burden, or stop providing 100% paid healthcare for our employees. We decided that we would do what we needed to do to make it work.” Said President Lane Mendelsohn.

Earlier this year, Market Technologies was also named a Top Workplace by the Tampa Bay Times. It is no surprise that the company holds multiple awards for being a top place to work for, considering the strong emphasis and investment that the company continues to put towards its company culture and employee’s well-being.

Temecula, CA – May 16, 2018 – ProSites, a leading provider of dental website design and online marketing solutions, announced findings from its second annual Dental Marketing Pulse report survey that uncovers marketing trends, objectives, and strategies of dental practices. This survey gathered unique insight from over 400 dental professionals across the United States.

The report revealed both parallels and differences to a similar survey conducted in 2016. For example, the 2018 study revealed that dental practices are spending less per month on marketing compared to 2016, however practices also reported to be less busy than usual over the past year. This new finding may indicate a correlation between the amount of marketing and overall busyness and profitability of a practice.

Key findings additionally suggest that dental practices who reach out most to patients via digital media and an array of communication channels are busiest or generate the highest revenue.

The study further identified a slight disconnect between dental office practices and patient preferences, revealing that most offices primarily utilize phone calls to communicate with patients, though patients have been sited to prefer reminders via text or email.

“It’s important for us to conduct these types of studies to help dentists achieve a stronger understanding of what their colleagues and competitors are doing to market themselves. It also allows us to better identify how we can tailor our services to create the optimum experience for both dentists and their patients,” stated Ken Robinson, Chief Marketing Officer at ProSites.

The Power and Magic of the Appalachian Trail is a real life epic tale about a series of hiking trips from Georgia to Maine that Jug and a supporting cast of counselors went on with several groups of multi-ethnic youth. Jug’s sole purpose in conducting these trips was to simply have the youth live in the mountains, catch some panoramic views, feel the pulse of the wild, hoping that the experience would trigger an awakening of the spirit and open up a brand new world that they all could express with love and pride. The trips were not easy. The Appalachian Trail hikes were mentally challenging, physically demanding, and requiring deep soul searching daily. Yet in the end, the explorations were immensely positive and also were enriching experience for the youth. The Appalachian Trail provided a setting that allowed for the openness and freedom where there is no limit to self growth, the greatest trail of all.

Shortly after, he also found his wife of 39 years, who also shared a love for walking. Over their many years together they satisfied their mountain fever by going on many mountain hikes together. They have since dedicated their lives to simplicity, appreciating the wonders of the natural world around them.

Westport, CT: After 17 years of building and maintaining “virtual town squares” for every town in the United States, AmericanTowns Media has increasingly been making their technology available to the broader marketing community. Their years of effectively scaling community-level content can be summed up by their area of expertise: Local Content Optimization (LCO).

LCO is a solution that allows marketers to improve their content marketing by putting their brand or business presence into a “local” context. Local Content Optimization blends ever-current branded content with local and lifestyle content streams, then distributes it to those platforms/pages where it can be most effective.

Mike Raleigh, Vice President, Growth with AmericanTowns Media, says:
“There are four main competencies that clients have been coming to us for and that we’re focused on bringing to the industry.”

Location Infrastructure – “Think of it like a wireframe of the entire US, all the way down to the town level. Clients pick and choose the towns, cities, states – even custom geographic areas – that are most important to their business.”

Asset Integration & Management – “We take a client’s valuable – but often under-utilized – content and assets and put them into a local context. This allows for that content to get new life and improve it’s ROI.”

Deep Local Content & Data – “We unearth millions of dynamic, location-based content and data points to provide rich, local, ever-current content for your brand.”

Powerful Distribution – “Through LCO, we create a content ‘experience’ for your end user, that engages them either where they are now or where they’re going to next.”

“It’s in large part thanks to Think with Google’s focus on the phenomenon of ‘micro-moments‘ that led us to where we are now,” according to Mike. “We’re helping brands increase geo-relevance by adding local value to their consumer engagements.”

Some examples of how AmericanTowns Media has helped companies scale locally include:

Helping a national organization with 37 million members become more locally “relevant” to members in nearly 30,000 towns.

For the Travel industry, AmericanTowns Media created a widget for localized “Things To Do” planning. This dynamic tool lets potential customers plan multiple aspects of their trip (dining, events, places to visit) without ever leaving a site – meaning, fewer abandoned itineraries.

Residential Real Estate agents in the highly competitive lead-generation world benefit from AmericanTowns Media’s “Town View” solution. This showcases insights into important town or city aspects (schools data, town amenities, key facts, etc.) and positions them as THE expert in that local area.

About AmericanTowns Media: From a community content publisher to a trusted content partner for the biggest brands, we develop a credible/scalable localized presence that delivers powerful brand “experiences” and drives conversion.
