BookSurge announces the publication of The Little Book of He and She by Wade Stevenson.
There are many ways to speak of intimate relationships between man and woman. In The Little Book of He and She, Wade Stevenson succeeds in revealing to us the highest levels of intimacy. This is not a book about sex, but one that reminds us -- or teaches us for the first time -- the forms love-making can take. Sexual love -- lets call it what it is: Erotica -- is often explored in literature, but never quite like this. Stevenson writes in a language that is simple and vivid, intense and passionate. Whether creating a metaphor for love or offering a poetic narrative, his writing is a mirror into the soul of sexual behavior.... (Continue reading)

The advertising industry is bracing itself for a possible sea-change, as UK-based Cost-Per-Call outfit Callgen today announced its first live advert on Google.
Industry analysts The Kelsey Group have estimated that Cost-Per-Call could become a multi-billion dollar field over the next few years, as the lessons learned from the explosively successful Pay-Per-Click industry are applied and refined. Callgen is the first to have live adverts running and expects to be an industry leader as Cost-Per-Call blossoms.
For advertising agencies the benefits are potentially enormous, with a healthy percentage of the revenue from the calls payable to the agency as a commission and the advertisers delighted that at last they can pay for measurable results.
As companies such as Google and Yahoo have built billion dollar concerns from Pay-Per-Click with only 30% of the business community providing the revenue, so Callgen expects to be a major player with similar potential, with virtually 100% of the business community able to participate in online advertising for the first time.
The few weaknesses in Pay-Per-Click such as the imperative need for a website and the potential for click fraud have been swept away by Cost-Per-Call, as internet advertising becomes an asset available to all businesses with a phone. The new model is far more fraud resistant and has the added benefit of only costing the advertiser when they get calls, a revolutionary concept in an industry that traditionally lacks any performance based products.
Callgen is backed by an award-winning ISP and a licensed telecoms provider, both UK-based and supported.
The future looks extremely bright for Callgen as we see the beginning of a new era, with the tried and tested internet advertising game evolving in a way that will surely revolutionise advertising completely.... (Continue reading)

When the test scores for Ada Hendersons third-grade son came in, his principal couldnt quite believe them.
He called me and said 'Ada, whats going on?" she recalled.
The principals skepticism was understandable. The struggling boy had brought his score on the schools reading assessment up from a failing 368 up to 898. And he had done it in just sixteen weeks.
Adas secret? As a math teacher at Lake Worth High School, she knew that the local school district had made Riverdeeps award-winning Destination Success courseware available to students over the Internet. So she sat down with her son Kenneth at the home computer for 30 minutes each night working on Destination Success. Using those programs gave Kenneth the extra support he needed to improve in reading and math," Henderson said. They really made the difference."... (Continue reading)
