Bar Codes Tell Where Products are Made

The first three digits on a bar code tells where the product was made

Did you ever wonder where a product was made.  Well, if you can understand and read a bar code, which is listed on all products, you can tell what country produced that product.

Ultimate Runner Looking for Writers/Photographers

Ultimate Runner book cover

The Ultimate Runner is a compilation of true stories from beginning runners to Ironman veterans, celebrating what’s good, bad, and funny about running.  In addition to great stories, the book will share advice by experts, plus capture the meaning, challenge, and beauty of running in stunning photography.

Share your running story!

For those runners in your community who have a way with words, we invite them to share your running stories for possible publication. The deadline for story submissions is approaching at the end of August.

Stories can be inspiring, humorous, enlightening, or motivating, and can cover anything you’ve learned about yourself, others, or the world around you because of running.  From training for a marathon to actually finishing it, from a deeper spiritual connection to the world or a better connection to yourself, from running in exotic places to running for a cause—we welcome your insights and expertise.   

To spark your ideas, the chapters in The Ultimate Runner will include:

• Physical Transformation
• Emotional and Spiritual
• The Social Side of Sneakers
• Off the Beaten Path
• Memorable Races
• Running For a Greater Cause

If selected, each runner’s story will be enjoyed in a collection that will reach and touch runners around the world and authors will be compensated!   Stories can be submitted directly at the Ultimate Book site.

Photographs

If you know runners who also tell stories with photos instead of words, we want their pictures!  We’re seeking high-quality photographs that tell a story words cannot.  Share your pics of some of the world’s most picturesque races or the breathtaking scenery others might have missed while they were struggling for breath.  Photos can also be submitted directly at the Ultimate Book site.

The Ultimate Runner will connect with an extensive, far-reaching audience.  We hope runners you know will consider being part of this exciting project serving the interest of countless runners of many abilities and experience. 

The Ultimate Runner: Stories and Tips to Keep You Moving, a collection of inspirational stories, photos and tips about running by runners and is scheduled to be published by HCI Books (the publishers of the Chicken Soup For the Soul series) in Spring 2010.
