RSS feeds have made it very convenient to syndicate information from various sources. Most of websites and services that publish fresh content, such as ezines, press release, new agencies, blogs make their content available thru RSS feeds. As

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

Adding RSS feeds to web pages has many advantages. Let us say you have added RSS feeds from a popular ezine on one of your web pages.

it and they might be tempted to visit your web page more often.

• You do not have to bother about writing fresh content as RSS feeds are updated automatically.

Earlier I had written an article on adding RSS feeds to a web page using java sc

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

ipt. While this method makes fresh content available to the readers, the content of the feed cannot be “read” by search engine spiders. Therefore the web page does not get the benefit of changing content from the search engines.

On the other

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

The instruction manual which comes with the package gives detailed instructions for i

3. Create a new mySQL

atabase.

4. Run the setup file carpsetup.php from you web browser.

5. A new page will be displayed. On this page select mySQL database option which is easier of the two options given there.

6. Another new page will open in which you have t

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

cts are meaningful and rational?
Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

9. Choose a web page where RSS feed has to be displayed. The file name of the page should have .php extension. If your page has .html or .htm extension, you can try replacing only the extensi

What would be the developing cost?

10. At appropriate location of the web page, where you want RSS feed to

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

Now the web page will display the RSS feed of your choice. You can choose to display more feeds on the same page or have separate pages for RSS feeds for different so

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

In the beginning, Yellow Pages ads were, well, yellow. With black type. Then, in an effort to jump start sales, the clever people who invented Yellow Pages in 1886, the Reuben H. Donnelly Corporation, figured an inexpensive way to add red to the ads. Red borders, red type. Higher rates.

Layoffs are part of corporate America. Several times a year the business section of the newspaper mentions another large layoff at well-known companies. One of the biggest layoff announcements of the year 2005 has been made by General Motors. GM wants to layoff about 30,000 of its employees. Several other companies have made similar announcements and more are to expect - sooner or later. This can happen almost anywhere and in any industry.

Praise for a job well done! Was the response most frequently given to me during my six-month Employee Loyalty Survey in 1995. At seminars across the country, I asked attendees to tell me the one thing that would improve their company loyalty.
