This study covers the latent demand outlook for first aid kits across the states, union territories and cities of India. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across over 4,400 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-à-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state or union territory and city, latent demand estimates are created for first aid kits. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. ... Read more

Product Description
Brain researchers have found that when people are scared, hurt, or angry, they're physiologically incapable of thinking straight. That’s why Betsy Sansby, a licensed marriage and family therapist, created The OuchKit. The OuchKit is an ingenious communication tool that teaches people how to talk about even the most difficult subjects, under even the most stressful conditions--without defensiveness or blame.They learn to disengage when they’re upset, calm themselves down, and express themselves clearly and respectfully.The 36-card kit contains six kinds of exchangeable cards: Ouch, Sorry, Thanks, You’re Welcome, I’ve Been Wondering, and Now That You Mention It. On the back of each card are fill-in-the-blank questions and checklists of emotions that help people identify their feelings and express them from a safe distance when they’re not ready to talk face-to-face.The tool works especially well with men, because it helps them find the words they often lack to describe exactly what they're feeling. Although The OuchKit was originally designed as a homework tool for couples in Sansby's therapy practice, it's now being used in schools, treatment centers, and the workplace to increase emotional fluency, teach conflict resolution skills, and help people develop greater compassion. ...

I've tried other communication tools with clients that are too complex and not realistic with how we really talk to one another.The Ouchkit cards are so straightforward that clients easily use them to get to the heart of the matter.The magic of the cards is that they elicit fairness from the speaker and receptivity from the listener.And I didn't have to attend a training in order to use them!Thanks Betsy. ...

Keep on Keeping on!
Most agents shoo away unknown authors. If you get famous, they'll send a limo to take you food shopping and forget they shooed you away when you were struggling...that's why most writers keep their day job.

Rutberg is a writer turned agent turned college teacher--so he knows from what he speaks. An agent, he says, acts as a buffer between the writer and producer or publisher so the writer can plot stories...not revenge. At times the book is smart, other times smart-alecky, but always honest.

The author does not mince words about the difficulty of getting a book published or a screenplay accepted. His advice is to suck it up and keep trying...if your only option is to be a writer!

He has done it all, writing for TV and film, screenplays, articles, children's books, short stories, novels, non-fiction, etc. etc., so Rutberg is telling us his reality. He "has been there" and it shows.

This book is used in his college class, so it covers every aspect of writing you can image. Additionally he believes writers must know how to:
--Get noticed by agents and products and publishers
--Understand contracts, copyright and what to do when you finished writing.
--Adapt your work to different formats, including film treatment.

This book costs $39.95 on Amazon, but it would be a worthwhile gift for anyone trying to understand what happens next--after you finish what you've written--the business end of writing. He broke it down into four parts: TV and Film; Children's Books; Novels and Non-Fiction Books; and Magazine Articles. He also included resources, Internet sites, a glossary and good stuff in the Appendix such as samples of different kinds of projects, query letters, letters to agents, etc. The entire process is detailed.

Armchair Interviews says: You just have to remember that an agent's or publisher's rejection is just like a reviewer's comments--it is just one person's opinion, and as Rutberg said in A Writer's First Aid Kit, if writing is your only option, you just have keep on keeping on.
