Your first point of call for information on vendor campaigns and a valuable tool to plan, implement, manage, track and measure the success of their marketing campaigns.
Disability
The document discusses how the media depicts people with disabilities through common stereotypes such as pity and heroism. It notes that negative portrayals in media can reinforce ideas in society that view those with disabilities as burdens. In response, some people with disabilities have created their own media projects focused on disability issues to provide more accurate representations. Common stereotypes from various media become normalized over time and influence how society perceives those with disabilities.
Eight New Attitudes About Sales
Recently I surveyed a group of people under forty years old and of various backgrounds. Of the one hundred people, 70% indicated that they either own their own business or plan to in the near future. The lure of the start-up culture is being compounded by stories of success in movies and social media. This is a very good thing. Entrepreneurship is the key to a prosperous future for our world.
However, there is a troubling statistic that virtually ensures that most of these new businesses will fail. When I asked those seventy people who self-identified as entrepreneurs about their feelings around the activity of selling their product or service to prospective clients, 64% indicated that they were uncomfortable with this necessary part of building a business. Of those, 80% said that they would find a way around their discomfort by partnering with or hiring someone to take on that activity.
Although it is positive that these people are thinking about ways around their fear, it is troubling that the majority of entrepreneurs are not prepared to conquer their fear so that they themselves can become effective at selling. Based on my experience, the best person to sell a product or service is the person who conceived the idea: the entrepreneur.
Sales is an image on the screen of the mind. If we change the image, we change how we feel about the activity. By changing how we feel about it, we change how we act and, therefore, how others respond to us. Another word for people’s responses to us is results. In sales, these results are signed contracts and satisfied, repeat customers who refer us to others.
We all have creative interpretations of past events in our lives. If we fear the activity of sales, we are likely interpreting negatively the way in which we were sold things in the past. We think in pictures, and when we think about sales we may have uninspiring or outright offensive pictures on the screens of our minds. Take the time to create a different picture. We need to picture ourselves bringing value to our clients in a positive manner.
Here are eight attitudes that we should integrate into this new picture of sales.

C16 U6 Project the passive voice with modals.
The document discusses the passive voice and how it differs from the active voice. In the passive voice, the subject receives the action rather than performs it. The passive voice uses a form of the verb "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. Modal auxiliaries like "can", "should", and "must" can also be used with the passive voice to indicate possibility, advice, or necessity. For example, "The ball can be kicked by Luke" or "The ball should be kicked by Luke".
C1 U2 Project verb to be. questions with where from.
Este documento explica el uso del verbo "to be from" en inglés y su equivalente "ser de" en español. Explica las formas afirmativas, negativas e interrogativas del verbo y provee ejemplos para ilustrar cada forma. También cubre preguntas con "where" que utilizan "to be from" para preguntar de dónde es alguien.
C9 U6 Project use to and used to for habitual actions in the past.
The document discusses the use of "used to" and "use to" for talking about habitual actions in the past. It provides examples of Ricky Martin's career changes over time to illustrate how to use "used to" in affirmative statements about past habits and "use to" in questions and negative statements. Specifically, it shows that we use "used to" when giving affirmative responses, like "I used to live in Puerto Rico", and "use to" in questions and negative statements like "Did you use to play basketball?"

The document discusses how to speculate about past events using perfect modal verbs in the passive voice. It explains that to speculate about the past, one must use a modal verb like may, might, could, or must in the perfect form (have + past participle) combined with the passive voice (been + past participle). Examples are provided where speakers use structures like "they might have been built" or "they must have been moved" to conjecture about unknown past events without definite knowledge.C12 U1 Project past perfect. (revised)(this is it)
The document discusses the past perfect tense. It begins by reviewing the present perfect tense, noting that it uses the auxiliary verb "have" and expresses actions that occurred at unspecified times in the past or began in the past and continue in the present. It then explains that the past perfect uses the past form of "have", which is "had", along with the past participle of the main verb, and that it expresses two past actions where one occurred before the other. Examples are provided that show one action in the past perfect occurring prior to another past action.
