Pain Management: An Ongoing Forum to feel your Best: 24/7.

DATELINE:  Tuesday, June 4, 2013

 

Needless to say, PAIN is the most debilitating problem or issue that can happen to any of us. It keeps us from getting up in the morning and ultimately to achieving our dreams.  Even the most elementary of tasks cannot be done when UTI: Under the Influence of Pain. It’s not only debilitating for those of us who suffer FROM it, but for that person’s loved ones who see them go through this non-stop Conflict.  Therefore, I was incredibly amazed and startled both that just last week I learned of a term that I had never heard before that deals with Pain and all it entails.  That term is:  Pain Management Doctor.  Then, today, as I was perusing the new June Magazines at Barnes and Noble, I quite unexpectedly discovered:

 

PAIN PATHWAYS MAGAZINE

Richard L. Rauck, MD - Editor in Chief

info@pathways.org

www.painpathways.org

PAIN PATHWAYS MAGAZINE is  on Facebook – Twitter – Pinterest.

Additionally, PAIN PATHWAYS MAGAZINE  has Pain Resources & Book Reviews.

My gut intuition tells me that since so many people (across the planet) suffer from Chronic PAIN (and many diseases that are painful), a Magazine is now needed that will help the layman connect ‘the dots.’ By learning more about this topic since Medical Science is making so many astounding break-throughs, then we are able to share and know how the Pain can be alleviated.

This is the first Magazine of its kind that I ever (personally saw) and as a Publicist, I’m continually scouting out for the latest Media, Outlets and Trends.  I carefully went thru each page, culling it for the key terms that I could tell you about.  I have some very close friends who are not pain-free and have bought copies of the magazine for them.  However, I was able to skim for some interesting Websites that can lead you (and/or others you may know) so that their life is less pain-filled.

Those notes follow for your perusal.  I highly suggest you check-out the given websites and invest in a subscription of PAIN PATHWAYS MAGAZINE.  The resources (at its rear) is incredible. After all, it only takes one person to open that door to lessen the hurt.

National Splurge Day ©1994 - Koopersmith's Countdown: 18 Days 2 go for the 2013 Celebration! When the URGE TO SPLURGE overtakes us.

The following is a note I posted to a reporter who penned an article on my Holidate, NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY©1994.  So many writers,journalists and bloggers now are NOT interviewing us Creators - it's a crime, shame and plain(ly) stupid on their part because they just do not know a THING about what we are creating, saying & transmitting. This is definitely one point that Writing Departments should stress when they teach their 'students' about how to compose a proper paper.  Hopefully, that will catch on, as Copyright Infringement will be the only avenue in which to 'take' and those who will get rich are the lawyers, fighting against this heinous crime.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS:  If creators (themselves) are not interviewed, the topic is not reported upon correctly; credit is not given; sponsorship may be diverted and the public will not  know the True Essence of what was to be scored.  Besides, Creators are the THOUGHT-LEADERS of a new Age of Branding.  They deserve to be lauded for their efforts which perk up a day and set it into motion.  That's the bases of my Literary Genre that I introduced to the world called:

Eventology

I can provide a list of references.

 

Because I type 92+ WPM; had headed my own PRAM: Public Relations – Advertising – Marketing company and am an avid researcher, vast accomplishments can be achieved in that period of time.  There’s nothing like Social Media Networking.  I don’t know how we ever lived without it!

IN CLOSING:  Any help would be really appreciated before the date of May 23 (10 days from today).  I look forward to hearing from you with any possible assistance. My contact numbers are found below.  Thank you for perusing.

The Merry Marketing Month of MAY begins. Expose this! Per ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith, Marketing Maven-at-large.

DATELINE:  Wednesday, May 1, 2013  

 

On May 1, 1978, I was in Pompeii, Italy, enjoying the sites; the sounds; the antiquity; and a bit of vino, too.  Today, Life is different as we are now in the Techno Age when things are much faster.

 

 

The following Offer is a WIN-WIN Situation for all concerned.  I’ve planned it out carefully.

 

 

LET ME EXPLAIN: My Building (Home) of 22.5 years has been bought.  A condo conversion. I did not even know it was ‘for sale.’  I assumed my landlord (who is in his 80s now) was going to leave it to his 6 kids to squabble over.  It is the last 3-story brick flat on the block to be rehabbed.  That means I have to GET OUT and F.A.S.T. as it’s the Season to MOVE and MOVE ON.  The irritating Part is that I have to put all of my creative endeavors ‘on-hold.’  That includes: GORF & Co. who star in my Screenplay/Book Series entitled:

 

SKiN: SACRED KINSHIP IN NATURE ^™

HOW 10 BELOVED PLUSH TOYS REDEFINE RACE ^©2009

 

that I  began writing in January of  2009 – of which Script #3/7 entitled:

iN THE COMPANY OF  ANTS’^©2009

beat out 3,164 others in the Scriptapalooza International Screenplay Competition (based in Hollywood) in July of 2010.  Only those professionals in the Film Trade (managers/producers, etc.) read these Submissions.  Therefore, I know they viewed ‘ANTS’ as a Major Contender as they know what is popular and in demand.  

 

These creative efforts are temporarily PUT ON HOLD since moving is so cumbersome and expensive.  An expense I was not prepared for currently.

 

Yet, it is reassuring to know that People tell me I am sitting on a Goldmine with the ANT Script and that keeps me fuelled. Since winning that award, I’m making new associates from across the world everyday (via Facebook – Twitter – LinkedIn) that enjoy my style of writing & insights. 

Not only am I asking Friends (via word-of-mouse) who have known me (for a spell) if they need any:

SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKING done.

 

but those people who have seen my Projects and/or know about my HIGH QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP.  Plus, I type 92 WPM; proofread; edit and research very well – what I call a well-structured package. 

 

 

THESE DAYS TO ACCOMPANY MY WRITINGS:  I consistently use Facebook; Twitter and LinkedIn to forward my thoughts, tendencies & tid-bits/tid-bytes.  That way, I would be an Asset to your Team that always needs additional exposure for all endeavors. 

 

I am proud to say that now, it is at the point that every morning (when I initially get online), I have 10+/- new Twitter Friends (from across our Granite Planet) that I did not know previously.  This 21^ST Century Pen-Palling System is a Publicist’s dream-come-true!  And, it can ‘work’ for you. 

 

In the Public Relations Sector of the Writing Industry, a Retainer is customary and set in order for that person to do a specific amount of work during a set period.   

 

With this Posting, do you and/or any of your friends need an ADDITIONAL HAND?

 

I would sign a Contract.  For an advance/retainer of $10,000, I would initially study that personality’s book(s), previous articles, website, blogs, social networks and spend 2 hours daily (Monday-Friday) for a year publicizing his/her project. It is not who you know, but how to get it ‘out there’ that counts.   

PLEASE NOTE: 

THE FOLLOWING INSERT displays the Media Outlets who have featured me throughout the decades.   

A List of where my Writings have appeared:

USA Today, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Insight Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Sun-Times, Time Magazine,  ESPN: The Magazine; Fast Company, Redbook, More Magazine, Woman’s World, Sports Illustrated For Kids, Village Voice, Nickelodeon, The Times Picayune, The Gainesville Sun, The Springfield News-Leader, Dave Egger’s Might Magazine, The Milwaukee-Journal-Sentinel, The Detroit Free Press, The Daily Herald, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, The Advocate/Greenwich Time, The San Antonio Express, The Dallas Morning News, Skyline, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Home Cooking, Cooking Light, Chase’s Calendar of Events, The Daily Northwestern, Popular Photography and Imaging, Shutterbug, Kennedy’s Confection (London, England), Eric Cohen Books (Israel) and an Estonian Newspaper as well as an endless Assortment of Websites, Blogs, Facebook Postings, ‘Tweets’ on  Twitter and employing other popular Social Networks since 1984.  Besides being the Guest on over 3,000 Radio Interviews (including The Voice of America since 1990), ABC, NBC, CBS & MSNBC Television Networks have also featured me for my Creation of these Creative Words + Works.

This Offer is a clever way to Kickstart your Summer of 2013. 

 

AND, IF I MAY ADD:  From a Marketing Angle, it’s feasible to have a ‘Satellite’ in the 3^RD largest City in the USA: Chicago, IL.  Historically, I have done PRAM:  Public Relations – Advertising – Marketing since the Third Grade as I’d help my Father with his promotions when he ran for Mayor of Mendota, Illinois, the town I grew up in!  I guess it worked as he completed 4 terms in office!
