Individuals with developmental disabilities, autism, and those with behavioral challenges frequently display behaviors that disrupt the way they learn, communicate, and socialize. This article examines the benefits of organizing the environment to minimize these behaviors and to optimize opportunities for effective communication. It describes how to design a learning environment, including living spaces, to improve behavior, learning, communication, and social skills. It also describes how educators and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can support expressive communication skills through visual support strategies and symbolic communication systems.
Structuring the Learning Environment to Improve Learning, Behavior, and Organization
Structured, organized classrooms and living environments may assist children with developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, behavior problems, or any other behavior that adversely affects learning, socializing, or communicating. Whether the intent is to improve a child's adaptation to family routines and expectations, or to improve behavior and learning at school, designing the environment with forethought is a way of accomplishing both ends.
Appropriately engineering the school or home settings allows individuals with an array of behaviors, such as the following, to benefit:
- Individuals who exhibit organizational and directionality challenges.
- Those with memory deficits, particularly memory of locations or the sequential order of tasks and schedules.
- Individuals with auditory processing disorders or sensitivity to auditory stimuli.
- Those with impairment of the visual, tactile, vestibular, olfactory, and proprioceptive senses.
- Individuals with social issues who may be rigid in rituals and routines.
- Children with receptive language deficits who have difficulty comprehending rules and expectations.
- Individuals who are distractible and need fewer distractions during work tasks.

Microsoft IT Academy Program
Study Examines Top Occupational Skills
International Data Corporation (IDC) recently analyzed more than 14.6 million job posting to determine what skills and competencies employers expect fill their positions. Microsoft Office was the only software package to appear in the list of top 20 required skills — and was cited five times as often as non-Microsoft packages. Through the Microsoft IT Academy program, Virginia schools have access to no-cost curriculum resources and site license certification. IDC's findings are available in the Skills Requirements for Tomorrow's Best Jobs: Helping Educators Provide Students with Skills and Tools They Need report.Certification examinations offered at no cost to school divisions
Funding provided by the General Assembly allows interested high schools and CTE regional centers to participate in a Microsoft Information Technology (IT) Academy partnership to include site licenses for certification testing at no cost to school divisions. Certification examinations are available to students for Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access OneNote and SharePoint) and Certiprep practice exams. See Superintendent's Memo for additional information on the Microsoft IT Academy Update (Word) legislative report.What is Microsoft IT Academy?
Classroom and online learning, hands-on labs, and access to hundreds of courses, books and cutting-edge resources are available for Microsoft IT Academy-participating high schools. These resources help prepare students for Microsoft certification that can help students earn college credits and enhance their resume with credentials recognized by employers around the world.
Advantages for Students
The Microsoft IT Academy concept was developed to bridge the gap between education and the real-world by providing students with the IT skills they'll need for college and a career in today's technology-centered job market.
Advantages for Teachers
Through Microsoft IT Academy, teachers have access to professional development resources for success in the classroom, as well as curriculum for technology courses and student learning tools.

As part of its ongoing 35th-birthday celebrations, Utopia Records had the Richmond, Virginia crossover act MUNICIPAL WASTE in the Sydney, Australia store for a meet-and-greet and signing and interview session on June 16 from 2 p.m. before the band laid waste to the HiFi later that night. Check out video footage below.
MUNICIPAL WASTE supported ANTHRAX on the third annual Metal Alliance Tour, which kicked off in March and ran through the month of April. MUNICIPAL WASTE's fifth album, "The Fatal Feast", sold around 2,700 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at No. 3 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. The band's previous effort, "Massive Aggressive", opened with around 2,100 copies back in September 2009 to debut at No. 10 on the Heatseekers chart. "The Fatal Feast" was released on April 10, 2011 in North America and April 13, 2011 in Europe via Nuclear Blast Records. The cover artwork for the CD was created by Justin Osbourn of Slasher Design and can be seen below. "The Fatal Feast" features guest appearances by John Connelly (guitarist and vocalist for NUCLEAR ASSAULT), Steve Moore (who plays bass and synthesizers for ZOMBI), and vocalist Tim Barry (ex-AVAIL).Video: MUNICIPAL WASTE At Sydney's UTOPIA RECORDS

By Julie Yonek, Stephen Hines, and Maulik Joshi
Having highly aligned goals facilitates performance tracking and reporting across multiple hospitals and promotes standardization in performance measurement. Aligning performance incentives (financial or other) for system and hospital executives with the system's strategic goals (e.g., quality, patient satisfaction, financial) is a strategy that top-performing systems use to improve overall performance.
Our research on multihospital systems shows that high-performing systems believed there was higher alignment between the system's quality goals and those of the system's hospitals and hospital leaders, compared to low-performing systems. High-performing systems linked financial incentives to quality goals for a higher percentage of their staff and had more hospital leaders with financial goals aligned with system performance.
From our discussions with multiple health systems, it is clear that alignment is operationalized in different ways. For example, a highly centralized approach is to set goals, measures, and programs at the system level and then standardize these across hospitals. A more coordinated, decentralized approach is one in which the system sets the goals but allows individual hospitals to decide how they will achieve these goals.
Furthermore, since individual hospitals within a system may be at different starting points with respect to performance, systems may choose to set hospital-specific targets instead of a standard systemwide target. This practice reinforces the point that each system's approach to alignment will differ based on their hospitals' performance levels, targets, and opportunities for improvement.
Additionally, although striving for "perfection" as a goal may be the strategic target, financial incentives are often based on other targets that are representative of progress toward perfection. This practice is common among high performers and demonstrates their flexibility in executing system strategies effectively.
To align goals and incentives, health systems can use the following strategies.
Establish system-level quality steering/oversight committees to provide direction to system leaders in setting systemwide goals and aligning them with hospitals. Most organizations have system-level committees that include multiple clinical and operational leaders across the organization for the collaborative purposes of:
As was specifically noted in many of our interviews with multihospital systems, nursing professionals play an integral role in the system-level oversight and support and linkage to the front-line care and improvement.
Embed health system goals into individual hospital leaders' goals. For some organizations, there are systemwide goals for which all hospital leaders are held accountable. For example, at Mayo Clinic, there are seven systemwide goals that leaders must focus on.
Link annual bonuses for system and hospital leaders to performance targets in the system's key strategic areas. Organizations connect financial incentives to system goals through a variety of mechanisms. At Baylor Healthcare System, 50 percent of performance-based compensation is based on achieving system goals that are derived from one of four pillars:
Compensation at risk related to performance ranges from 15 percent of base salary for hospital unit directors to approximately 50 percent of base salary for senior system leaders. (Herrin, J., et al. "The Effect of Health Care System Administrator Pay-for-Performance on Quality of Care," Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Satisfaction, 2008, vol. 34, pp. 646-54).
At Bon Secours Health System, 25 percent of incentive pay for system and hospital leaders is tied to goals within each of the following strategic pillars:
By holding everyone in senior management accountable for reducing mortality from sepsis, they have reduced the mortality rate for patients presenting to the emergency department with sepsis by more than 50 percent in just 2.5 years.
At Providence Health and Services, 60 percent of leaders' incentive pay is linked to overall system performance and 40 percent linked to regional, local, or personal goals. System targets are based upon mission, people, service, quality (clinical reliability index which is a composite of all core measures), financial, and expanding service.
Align incentive pay and/or accountability for achieving system-level quality and patient safety targets into contracts with physicians. John Muir Health began incentivizing their physicians two years ago. They are held accountable for specialty-specific quality metrics that can be impacted by their performance. For example, surgeons are held accountable for surgical quality and safety indicators. Transparency rather than pay is the incentive, as physicians' performance is reported across the system each year by medical leadership.
At Nebraska Methodist Health System, over 10 percent of hospitalists' pay is linked to system quality goals. At Memorial Hermann Health System, quality performance targets are included in contracts with physicians. In addition, including patient safety indicators in all employees' (including physicians') incentives plans has been a very effective approach to reducing the rate of safety events across the system.
Align emphasis on culture with efforts to understand and improve it. While virtually all system leaders attest to the importance of a culture of safety, high-performing systems tend to go further in measuring their safety culture, communicating the importance of a safety culture to staff, and providing training designed to improve it.
Health systems that fail to align their metrics with their core values are less likely to achieve outstanding results.

Choices for part-time jobs and the impacts on the wage differentials. A comparative study for Great Britain and the Netherlands
This paper uses the European Household Panel (the ECHP) to analyze individuals' choices on part-time jobs and their impacts on the wage differentials. Our study is a comparative study between Great Britain and the Netherlands. In contrast to most of the previous researches on part-time employment, we make a distinction between short part-time and long part-time jobs. The results show that overall women were more likely to take part-time jobs in both countries, but the effect was much stronger in the Netherlands than it was in Great Britain. We find that there was no substantial wage gap between long part-time and full-time jobs in the Netherlands, working long part-time were more likely to be treated as full-time jobs, which may suggest the presence of 'retention part-time jobs' described by Tilly (1996). On the other hand, the results show that part-time workers in Great Britain suffered relatively larger wage penalties, yet, working short part-time was not significantly different from working long part-time because they both received lower wage rates compared to full-time jobs.Download Info

Asbestos-Related Benefits for Veterans
Veterans who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or other illness caused by asbestos exposure may be able to receive different forms of compensation from either the government or the companies that manufactured the material they were exposed to. It is important to not only act in a timely fashion, but to consult and work with expert guidance whichever option one chooses to pursue.
Disability Compensation
Veterans may be able to obtain compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs. However the veteran must prove that the condition is service-connected and that the asbestos exposure happened during military service. Medical evidence is necessary. Many veterans enlist the help of VA-accredited claims agents.
Disability compensation from the VA is based on the rate of disability. The highest rating is one hundred per cent, or total, disability. Cancers like malignant mesothelioma and asbestos-related lung cancer are considered by the VA as totally disabling. So if a veteran receives compensation for either mesothelioma or lung cancer, he or she will be paid at the 100% rate.
The VA recognizes various other types of illnesses as possible asbestos diseases. These include: asbestosis, fibrosis, pleural plaques and pleural effusions and fibrosis. Unlike asbestos cancers, these do not automatically get a veteran a total disability rating. The VA will first assess the seriousness of the veteran's condition, rate the disability and then compensate him or her according to the disability rate.
Health Care Benefits
Veterans who believe they have become sick as a result of asbestos exposure in the military may be eligible to receive care through the VA health care system. The system classifies veterans into several categories of priority. There may or may not be a copay (out of pocket expenses) for the veteran depending on the category he or she is assigned.
Dependent and Survivor Benefits
Dependent and surviving family members of a veteran may be eligible for certain benefits as well.
A surviving spouse may apply for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation or DIC. The basic monthly benefit effective 12/1/2012 is $1,215. If the veteran was rated permanently and totally disabled for at least 8 years prior to death and the spouse was married to him or her for that same period, add $258. For each minor child, add $301. If the spouse also receives A&A, add $301. If the spouse is housebound, add $141.
Spouse and minor children, and children below 23 and enrolled full-time in school may be eligible for CHAMPVA health coverage. This is an entitlement benefit for the families of veterans who are rated permanently and totally disabled, as would be the case of a veteran with mesothelioma or other asbestos-related lung cancer.
See the Department of Veterans Affairs website for more on these benefits and the current payout rates.
Asbestos Settlements
Veterans also have the option to sue the manufacturers of the asbestos they were exposed to. Mesothelioma settlements are well-known, but the financial benefits are impossible to estimate as each case is different. Settlements may range from a few hundred dollars to millions of dollars. It is important to hire a competent mesothelioma attorney who is experienced in handling settlements if one wishes to pursue this route.
Bear in mind: Veterans cannot file a lawsuit against the U.S. government due to the Feres doctrine; however this does not bar them from suing asbestos manufacturers as civilians can.
Note our website does not provide any legal advice whatsoever. Please consult with an attorney or VSO as needed.

I am tasked to use the DCM in Xilinx's architecture wizard. Can anyone explain what is the function of a DCM and how does it actually work? What are the inputs and outputs of a typical DCM? many thanks!
Jun21-07, 05:31 AM
Check the User Guide documentation for the part you're
using. e.g. for the Spartan 3 / Spartan 3A DCMs: http://direct.xilinx.com/bvdocs/userguides/ug331.pdf q.v. pages 61... Using Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) Summary Digital Clock Managers (DCMs) provide advanced clocking capabilities to Spartan-3 Generation FPGA applications (Spartan-3, Spartan-3E, Spartan-3A, Spartan-3AN, and Spartan-3A DSP families). Primarily, DCMs eliminate clock skew, thereby improving system performance. Similarly, a DCM optionally phase shifts the clock output to delay the incoming clock by a fraction of the clock period. DCMs optionally multiply or divide the incoming clock frequency to synthesize a new clock frequency. The DCMs integrate directly with the FPGAs global low-skew clock distribution network. Introduction DCMs integrate advanced clocking capabilities directly into the FPGAs global clock distribution network. Consequently, DCMs solve a variety of common clocking issues, especially in high-performance, high-frequency applications: Eliminate Clock Skew, either within the device or to external components, to improve overall system performance and to eliminate clock distribution delays. Phase Shift a clock signal, either by a fixed fraction of a clock period or by incremental amounts. Multiply or Divide an Incoming Clock Frequency or synthesize a completely new frequency by a mixture of clock multiplication and division. Condition a Clock, ensuring a clean output clock with a 50% duty cycle. Mirror, Forward, or Rebuffer a Clock Signal, often to deskew and convert the incoming clock signal to a different I/O standardfor example, forwarding and converting an incoming LVTTL clock to LVDS. Any or all the above functions, simultaneously. |

Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Toyota Sienna Navigation System
gpsjunkie Posts: 15You can override the system in a limited way (just the navigation controls, the radio info button for example will still not show anything until you stop).
To override the navigation safety, follow these steps:
1. Make sure you're not moving. The best time to do this is after you've started the car.
2. Push Menu.
3. You will see a button in the upper right of the touchscreen called DVD, press it.
4. In the DVD window, press in rapid succession upper left, lower left, upper left, lower left, lower right. It may take several tries.
5. You will see a new screen, press and hold override until it beeps and turns green.
6. You're set.
Note: If you are in a situation where you want to override and you have an opportunity to stop at say a stop sign, hit menu button and as you roll to a stop hit the DVD button and then give it gas and go. The sequence of button pushing will work even when you're moving, the trick is getting to the DVD button. -
linsand60 Posts: 5I have a big problem and am hoping that someone can give me advice. I have an 2004 Sienna xle the sound does not work on the radio the screen comes up and states that the nav system is not hooked up when you press the nav button and the dvd player does not work. for a wile when I hit a bump in the road things would start to work. Now nothing. I took it to the dealer and they told me that it was the main computer in the back of the van behind the sub woffer. I took the back apart to see what they were talking about and just was more confisued. anything would be a great help! Thanks in advance!!!
gpsjunkie Posts: 15The dealer may be right, but if you're not under any extended warranty, you might try pulling the screen unit out and checking to see if all your cables are seated properly. The head unit comes out pretty easily if you pull up the two plastic trim pieces on either side. Something plastic that allows you to hook the edge and pull up from the top will make it easier. Be gentle. Once the two trim pieces are removed you'll see 4 screws holding the head unit into the dashboard. Remove the screws and pull the head unit up slowly and push on all connectors (there are a few). Before you screw everything back, you can turn on power and check to see if anything has changed. I've never messed with the main computer, so I'm no help there, but it definitely sounds like a loose cable somewhere.
holle Posts: 10does this work in making the dvd controls accessable while driving too? (being able to view the dvd controls on the front screen while in motion?).
if this doesn't work..does anyone know an override way to allow the dvd controls to appear on the front screen w/out having to be stopped and with the parking brake on?
I have a new 08 model, not sure if these override's have been elminated on the 08's or not.
thanks! -
linsand60 Posts: 5I think the main computer located under the pass seat is not working It is a 2004 JBL system I was quoted 2,000.00 to purchase a new one from the dealer. That is too much! Is thier a place where I can have this unit repaired or another place where I can purchase a new one for less? Thanks in advance for any help!!!
gpsjunkie Posts: 15The short answer is no, dvd controls are not available when driving. However, there are overrides available(were available, I haven't checked in a long while). They used to cost about $70-80 and attached to the system. It should be understood that most states have laws about dvds, tvs, even laptops being used in the front seat while the vehicle is moving. What sucks about the law is that it covers even a passenger in the front seat, which can be really stupid. Almost as stupid as locking out the information like hotel or restaurant phone numbers on the navigation system when there is a passenger sitting in the seat activating the sensor for the seat belt indicator if they're not wearing a seatbelt, but somehow that doesn't translate to a non-driving person being able to work the navigation controls. Yikes, don't get me started!!
holle Posts: 10Thank you for the response.
I just don't understand why the sienna doesn't have controls on the dash somewhere to control the dvd. (play/stop/forward..etc). it's only on the touch screen and can only be seen when the parking brake is on. using the remote (facing towards the back) is just awkward and a dumb design. i might be missing something since i just bought this van last week,..but i don't even see a volume control on the remote.
i understand not being able to watch the tv while in motion (obviously saftey and against the law)..but not being able to even control the dvd when in motion is silly to me.
again..thanks for the response. i guess i'll just have to get use to using the remote and stretching my arm back there to change out the dvd's while in motion or at a stop sign. (yeah,..THAT'S not dangerous). ha! -
qjessani Posts: 1Hi, I took delivery @10 days back of new Sienna XLE AWD. I had purchase XLE with Navigation and Dvd package. Reading the manuals and playing with all th e features, I finally realized that instead of giving me XLE with the DVD package theat includes rear seat entertainment (as my lease states), my dealer found me an XLE and installed DVD at the dealership. This has resulted me not getting the features like controlling the DVD on the touch screen since this DVD player is not an 'integrated' one from the factory. Similarly, my 'ipod ready' features (included with the DVD package) can only up & down tracks but wont list my folders (playlists, Albums etc.)etc. I am in Canada ...please advice what options I have. Thanks.
haysusan Posts: 1I am trying to transfer the contacts from my Palm Centro phone to the Navigation System phone book. The transfer worked, however the data is in alpha order by first name where on Outlook and in the phone it is by last name, the group info was not received, and only the area code of the phone number was received.
What do I need to do to correct this? -
steveko23 Posts: 1I just took delivery of my new 2008 XLE Sienna so I thought to try out the navigation system on the drive home. It was working until I got close to my home and I decided to turn right onto a street just prior to the street it was going to tell me to turn on which would intersect with the street my house is off of. I wanted to test how well it updated itself. It was complete and utter fail! It did not update itself. For some reason it did not understand the road. I could see the road on the map, it had the road list at "Lytle 5 Points" and I could see myself driving on it, but it would not update the map. Later that evening I went to Kroger and again went off route and took Lytle 5 Points and again the navigation did not correct itself until I got off that road. It's like it knows the road exists because I see it in the map, but doesn't know how to handle it in the system. This is a pretty main road that has been around for a minimum of 20 years.
And then last night I tried the navigation somemore to navigate me home and I went off route again using a backroad...but a backroad that it a pretty main road that has been around for a minimum of 20 years and again I could see me driving on the road and it knew the name of the road, but it would not update the navigation. This time I tried to reset it by attempting to start my navigation from where I was. So I stopped the car and retold it I wanted to go home overriding my previous destination. Now it gave me a light blue line and told me to follow that until the darker blue line started where the navigation would start. Following the lighter blue line directed me the correct route and then about halfway down my street the darker blue line took over. I don't understand 1. how the navigation can start working in the middle of a neighborhood street (and actually it started working on the newer half of the street (within the past 10 years new as opposed to 10-20 years old) and 2. why the navigation couldn't start when the light blue line was able to direct me to where the navigation could start.
Please help.

navguy1 Posts: 181You are in a non-detailed area. If the roads are a mustard color they have not confirmed the roads for turn-by-turn guidance... consequently no-turn-by turn voice prompts. It will simply provide a highlight line for a suggested route.
Once the roads are black, blueish/aqua, or maroon it will provide turn-by-turn guidance.
Call Toyota at 800 331 4331 and give them the area that is not detailed. They will inform the map suppliers in order to have them verify the area for safe guidance. -
navguy1 Posts: 181The navigation ECU is located under the passenger seat. Just slide the seat forward, remove the plastic splash guard and confirm the the connections at the rear of the component. If they are secure and undamaged, you might have to look behind the radio for any intermittent connections.

WALKING IN CHRIST'S VICTORY OVER THE DEVIL (Message #7 * 1 John 3:4-10) 02-23-2014
1. Know that Christ is Victorious ● Our triune-God reigns (Hallelujah!): in sovereignty, Lordship, & power ● the devil is a formidable foe: but nevertheless a defeated enemy ● Christ has won the victory: over Satan, sin, and death 2. Walk in Christ's Victory ● Abide in Christ who abides in us: (thru faith, righteousness, & love) ● Put on the full armor of God & pray: to stand against the devil's schemes ● Proclaim the gospel of Christ's victory & salvation: for sinners and from Satan's power
Empathy (Hebrews 2:5-18)
Not only is Jesus exalted (Hebrews 1:5-14), he is empathetic (2:5-18). He lived in our world of flesh and bone, fear and pain, hunger and feasting. His incarnation was the path to exaltation. Not only did He humble himself to the point of death, but he stripped the devil of his power and freed us from fear. This sermon encourages us to look to Jesus -- our better king who empathizes with our weaknesses. Not only does He know how we feel, but He can do something about it.
Have you ever found it hard to talk to the Lord and especially hard to talk out loud to Him with another believer? We inherited this from the fall. We find in the following passage that Adam and Eve did not want to talk to God. They were trying to deal with the effects of sin which included not talking to the Lord. And as we look into this passage and the James passage to follow we find that pride is a big part of it. We say we feel uncomfortable or we are shy but the real root is pride that needs to be dealt with. W need to realize that as we resist praying we might find God opposing us. Wow… that is what makes it extra hard. We need to do as James 1 tells us: 7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. 10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you. I have become painfully aware how many believing couples who are married do not pray out loud together. As with Adam and Eve, how can you get close to the Lord and communicate to Him without talking out loud together with Him? This is serious business. Be willing to recognize it and pursue praying out loud together with those key people in your life. Experience Him giving His grace to the Humble.
Christmas Birth
We don't get tired of visiting the story of Christ's birth. I noticed some things this year that I had not really thought about. There are several similar things that happened to Christ that has happened for us as well. Notice, Jesus was born from above and we need to be born again from above as well. The angels rejoiced at His coming and they rejoice when we repent and come to Christ. Christ was filled with the Holy Spirit and we are blessed with His indwelling as believers. He grew up and did not stay a baby nor immature and we are to grow up as well. He was tempted by the devil and tested by God and so are we. He obeyed the Father in all things and we are called to obey Him as well. He lived a sacrificial life and we are called to sacrifice as well. He fulfilled the Law so that it can be fulfilled in us. He died for us and since we died with Him we get to receive His resurrected life. As the Father glorified Christ, Christ allows us to share in His glory. As He was rewarded so also will we. And as He will reign we will be privileged to reign with Him as well. He was not "Just born" at Christmas but He began to live, grow, obey and ultimately die as a perfect sacrifice so that He could take away all the damage sin cause in us and include us in His glory. Let us purse embracing all that has been and will be done for us as He seeks in the New Year to make us more and more like Himself.
STANDING FIRM IN THE GRACE OF GOD (Message #9/9 * 1 Peter 5:1-14) 12-15-2013
1. The Chief Shepherd & His Flock ● Peter's Exhortation to the Elders: shepherd the flock of God among you (vs1-4) ● Clothe ourselves with humility: and follow godly leadership (v5) 2. Faith & the Fiery Trials of Life ● Humble ourselves under God's mighty hand: that He may exalt us (vs6-7) ● Be sober-minded & watchful: the devil seeks to devour us (v8) ● Resist the devil: standing firm in our faith (v9) ● the God of all grace will bless us: so we entrust our souls to God who reigns sovereign (vs10-11) 3. Stand Firm in the Grace of God (vs12-14) ● What is the true grace of God? - we are His chosen people - we are His protected witnesses - we will share in His eternal glory ● as chosen exiles: rejoicing now as we await the Second Coming ● witnessing for Christ thru suffering: with humble submission and gospel proclamation

When in need of effective marketing, email marketing is extremely effective in that it involves creating a promotional email and sending it to a large audience. This is referred to as a "bulk email," as it enables the sender to send the email simultaneously.
In order to effectively market products and services via email, there are two types of email marketing. The first is the transitional email, which is the email confirmation that a person receives once they have interacted with the company, such as subscribing to an email list. The second type of email marketing is the directional email, which is the email that contains some kind of promotional information for those that opted in to receive that information.
Best Email Marketing Software Programs for Mass Mailing
The best mass email sender software available today includes Bulk Mailer, Email Marketing Studio, and Email verifier. Below you will find short descriptions of the aforementioned email software:
- Email Marketing Studio – This free mass email software is used to send mass emails. The primary features include customizable templates, easy personalization of emails, list management using a built-in database, HTML editing, embedded image support, and flash.
- Bulk mailer – This bulk mailing software is free and is used to send out targeted email to subscriber lists. This bulk mail software is easy-to-use, although it has all of the tools that are needed to successfully complete an appealing email campaign designed to intrigue its audience. These tools include templates, easy editing, and list management tools that are designed to encourage a response from subscribers.
- Email Verifier – Also free-to-use, this is an important component to the mass mailing software suite, as it allows for the easy management of bulk email lists. It is very important that lists do not contain invalid email addresses so that users know how many individuals are receiving each email. The integration with Bulk Mailer is seamless, so Email Verifier makes content list management much easier. In addition, it is simple to export email addresses from Excel, Oracle, and MS SQL. The program can also be integrated with outside programs that make capturing subscriber emails easier.
- Email Verifier Lite – Also free to use, this very fast bulk mail program has the job of verifying email addresses to ensure they are not invalid. This ensures the mass mailing email list is clean. This email verification tool is very powerful, especially for those who must send email messages frequently. Frequent mass mailing campaigns mean having to constantly ensure the subscriber list is clean.
Unprecedented Bulk Email Marketing Software Features
There are a number of primary features that set this bulk email software apart from many others on the market. They include:
- High personalization with mail merge functions
- Special sending modes to use as a part of the built-in SMTP server
- Easy contact list management
- The ability to integrate attachments, images, and Flash into the newsletters by using the HTML editor
- Track opens, links, clicks, and unsubscribes without much effort.
- Customizable opt-in forms
- Email Verifier integration is very easy
- The ability to import and export contacts from external databases
Contacts can also be imported from Windows Address Book, Microsoft Outlook, Excel, Text, or CSV. You can also import and export from MySQL, MS SQL, ODBC/OLE, Access, Dbase, Paradox, and FoxPro.
You can also alter your sending modes by setting them to send emails in bursts, on a delay, or directly. Progress can be traced through the detailed sending monitor. This monitor will tell you when the message failed to send, allowing you to resend to those addresses. Every operation is outlined in this very detailed report.
Finally, you have international characters capabilities, as well as HTMl and full text formats to use. You can set up multiple bulk email campaigns through multiple email addresses, taking advantage of the styled text support and field processing in subject.

The Perfect Fit
If clothes make the man, then shoes make the woman. Most of us have strong feelings about our footwear, and a decent-sized collection, to boot. (Sorry.) To make sure you're covered for any situation, make sure your collection includes these five must-have pairs, recommended by the style experts from ShoeBuy.com:
1. A quality pair of running or workout shoes to keep you in shape.Never skimp on sneakers. The wrong shoe can damage your foot or cause pain.
