An Emergency Plan That Could Save Thousands, a new book by Norman Ende M.D., has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

The explosion of the atom bomb at Hiroshima and Nagasaki had a great significance to anyone in the military, nationally and worldwide. It not only ended the war; it directly affected those in uniform. When the bombs dropped, Norman Ende was a naval cadet in medical school, and his brother, Dr. Milton Ende, was a medical officer who had been ordered to the Pacific where they expected heavy casualties (1 million). The Ende brothers reported the first transplant of human umbilical cord blood to a patient with Leukemia in 1972. Since then, their research into cord blood transfusion has shown to significantly improve not only victims of irradiation but numerous diseases.

In An Emergency Plan, Dr. Ende describes an essential plan, based on his research, to prepare to treat Americans in the event of a nuclear terrorist attack. But since a sudden change in FDA regulation in 2003, clinical trials involving human cord blood in the U.S. have been effectively stalled. As Dr. Ende outlines, not only is treatment research for disease hampered, but the U.S. remains unprepared in the event of nuclear attack. Currently no plan exists for mass casualties (10,000-100,000+) that can be activated.

About the Author
Dr. Norman Ende was born in Petersburg, Virginia. He joined the Navy program (V7-V12) in 1942, serving his first tour of duty at the Naval Hospital at the Marine base in Quantico, Virginia, before earning his medical degree at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. He was called back to active duty for the Korean War and remained in the service as a reserve medical officer for close to 44 years, becoming one of the longest-serving reserve medical officers in the Navy.

As a pathologist, Dr. Ende has published over a hundred medical articles, six of which may have made a significant impact on the course of medicine. Since 1992 he has devoted his research to creating a plan for the treatment of mass casualties from a nuclear explosion and the use of unmodified umbilical cord blood for the treatment of multiple clinical diseases (ALS, Types I and II Diabetes, Huntingdon’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer of the prostate and others) as noted in this book.

An Emergency Plan That Could Save Thousands is a 46-page paperback with a retail price of $18.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-4549-4. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The Story of a Boy!, a new book by John Dwight Marchalleck, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

John Dwight Marchalleck was born in the parish of St. Andrew, Jamaica. At the age of three, his mother migrated to the U.S.A. and his new guardian parents, her mom and dad, became the main lifelong influence for John as reflected in The Story of a Boy!

John was a happy child, growing up with his grandmother and grandfather. In this book, he reflects on hardships like drought affecting his hometown mountain village from time to time. His farmer grandfather and philanthropic grandmother were his primary tutors and idols. His grandfather was a storyteller who provided candy for the village children who stopped by to visit and listen.

Like many grandchildren, John was sent away to boarding school and later to attend high school in Kingston but continued to communicate with them through written letters, a habit encouraged by his grandma. While in high school, his fondness for writing was also reflected by mystery stories John wrote and were aired on JBC (Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation). That earned the boy extra pocket money. But this fostered bad habits, as John began to frequent the billiard halls in Kingston, which prevented him from going home directly after school. This was reported to the headmaster, who meted out fifty-page homework essays for John in lieu of other detention to curb the boy’s after-school bad habits. This enhanced John’s appetite more for writing; however, rather than stop him playing billiards or frequenting the pool halls, the boy could effortlessly produce written assignments, on most given topics, free of grammatical errors.

In 1963 John migrated and joined his biological mom in the U.S.A. Later, as a student at the Benjamin Franklin School of Accounting and Finance in Washington, D.C., John worked and published articles in both the National Geographic Society’s School and News Services.

A long drought in writing from John came, however, but now The Story of a Boy! can be happily shared with the world.

The Story of a Boy! is a 432-page paperback with a retail price of $25.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-3741-3. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

January 16, 2018 – In April 2017, the flagship product of Audio4fun, Voice Changer Software Diamond got the biggest update of the year with the new version 9.5. This version also marked an important milestone in the company’s history of developing the software with significant changes in all features, especially the new Voice Morpher and File Morpher elements. To conclude the software’s performance in 2017, Audio4fun’s evaluation of the internal data confirmed there were very good positive results in sales as well as users’ satisfaction. More information about the new features of Voice Changer Software Diamond 9.5 can be found at https://www.audio4fun.com/voice-changer.htm

The numbers speak

There were several improvements in statistics between 2017 and 2016, but there were three stats with the most considerable changes: conversion rate, sales and refund rate. Conversion rate increased at an impressive amount of 29%. First time users who downloaded the free trial were more interested in the software and thus, were more likely to buy. Accordingly, sales of Voice Changer Software Diamond throughout the year also went up by a substantial amount of 10%. On the other hand, the number of refund declined considerably by 10.1%, which can be referred as a good sight of higher users’ satisfaction.

“Sales have always been one of the most practical keys to measure the success of our products. When combined together with conversion rate and refund rate, it may be implied that more and more users were attracted by the revolution of Voice Changer Software Diamond 9.5. The positive increase in overall quality led to better purchasing decisions and increased the satisfaction of new users. In this version 9.5, there were several changes in functions, and the most notable ones also come from the two most favored features of users: Voice Morpher and File Morpher,” said Chris R.F., Head of Quality Administration.

Voice Changer Software Diamond’s 2017 achievements: New version of Voice Morpher and File Morpher

The core feature Voice Morpher can smoothly modify a human voice into various new voices with the combination of the Pitch-Timbre graph, Voice Beautifying and Voice Effects functions. Users will be able to change their voice in real time and easily adjust settings while talking in a Skype call, Discord and many other VoIPs. Not only that, Voice Morpher’s settings can be conveniently used in File Morpher feature to morph pre-recorded audio files, especially with the new Voice Effects function. The selected effects will be constantly shown on the main panel with active/inactive status. Users will have the options to turn any effect on/off as well as a quick shortcut to adjust that effect’s settings.

The other main feature, File Morpher, can help users add different effects, morph vocals, make changes to audio files, and also convert audio formats. With the new version 9.5, users can use File Morpher to adjust all of the settings in Full Mode before processing audio files, or use the newly added Quick Mode to morph files instantly with pre-created settings stored in Full Mode. In addition, two brand new tools Tempo Morpher and Volume Booster were also integrated into the feature. Users will even have the option to make changes to the speed and sound level of audio files.

All in all, with the new Voice Changer Software Diamond 9.5, all users will experience a better modern interface, simpler and easier-to-use main features, innovative new functions as well as a new carefully researched arrangement. The positive results of the software’s statistics in 2017 is also a proof that Audio4fun is going in the right direction and will confidently continue another year with promising innovative developments.

Denver, CO: January 13, 2018 marks the third year that Accountingprose has been recognized as a Top 50 Cloud Accountant by Hubdoc, a leader in cloud accounting technology. In addition to providing outstanding service, Accountingprose was singled out this year for their ‘world-class brand’ as well as the top-to-bottom deployment of cloud technology employed by Founder Cristina Garza and her team of Small Business Superheroes. The firm was further recognized for the newly developed Accelerator Program being rolled out in Q1 2018. This program will give other bookkeepers and cloud accountants pragmatic, experience-based, and outcome-driven trainings and resources on how to maximize their marketing strategies. Or as Hubdoc put it: “Cristina is a superhero for both her clients and the accounting community!”

Accountingprose customer, and founder of Shop Marketing [a.k.a. #TheShop] Luke Miller agrees, seeing Cristina and her team as invaluable: “[…I’m thankful for her] assembling a team we can trust, rely on, and that helps our business do better business every single day.” The ability to count on the numbers adding up at the end of the year grants a peace of mind many small business owners find indispensable. Warren S. Cook, co-founder of SymbianceHR, forged a symbiotic partnership with Accountingprose largely because of his confidence in the team’s expertise: “[Cristina is] extremely knowledgeable and competent in the services she provides… She’s an expert in working with small businesses…maximizing technology, maximizing efficiencies and making sure services are tailored to fit the business need.”

Having brought Accountingprose from its humble beginnings to a seven figure yearly revenue, and hearing consistent positive feedback both from clients and peers in the industry, Cristina decided it was time to share the wisdom she’d gleaned from years of focused trial and error. The Accelerator Program kicking off Q1 2018 will be a platform for her to share the wealth of information she and her team have accumulated through experimenting with dozens of cloud platforms to hone in on optimal, repeatable solutions. Participants will be given everything they need so they can hit the ground running to plan and execute a results-oriented marketing strategy. Cristina is confident it will save less tech-savvy and marketing experienced bookkeepers quite a lot of time and headaches: “This is the guide I wish I had when I started out. I might be hurting tylenol sales by releasing it.”
