article: A termiticide treatment will not only kill termites in the ground, but will protect your house from any termites trying to burrow into it. Create a trench around the perimeter of your house, then spray termiticide in the trench to create a natural barrier. Be sure to carefully read and follow the instructions for using liquid termiticide to keep you, your family, your neighbors, and the environment safe. This treatment is a lot easier to perform when you are building a new house. Trenching may be necessary if your house is already built. Termite bait is a poison that slowly acts to kill termites. It also spreads the poison around the colony to eradicate the infestation. Place the baits in a perimeter around your house, spread 1012 feet (3.03.7m) apart. Add additional baits in areas where there is high termite activity. Termite baits are made of cardboard, paper, or other cellulose material, with a lethal poison for termites. You can use either above or below ground baits. Nematodes are roundworms that can kill termites. Expose the termite colonies to nematodes by releasing them in areas where there is high termite activity. This is not always the most effective method of extermination. Nematodes have varying mortality rates depending on their environment. The Steinernema carpocapsae is one of the most effective types of nematode to eradicate termites and other wood borers. While do-it-yourself methods may seem appealing, your best solution is to hire a professional to remove the termites. Look online for exterminators who specialize in removal of termites and their colonies. Make sure to read user reviews and choose an exterminator who has a good reputation. Calling in a professional may cost more money initially, but will save you money on repairing structural damage around your house. Talk about future prevention methods with the exterminator as well.

article: Texting doesn't vary that much depending on the phone, but there can be some slight differences, especially between older cell phones and smart phones. For example, you might see "messaging" on a phone's menu to start the texting process. Or you might see "Send SMS" instead. It means the same thing. Newer smart phones will offer keyboards that are touch screens. You will use this to type the message. On older phones, you will need to use a keyboard built into the phone itself, that doubles as the buttons you press with numbers to call people. Be aware that you may have to pay to receive or send texts. Some cell phone plans have unlimited texting built into the plan. If you're going to be texting a lot, this might be a better idea. Some plans will only let you send a certain number of texts per month before incurring overcharges, though. If you don't have an unlimited plan, you could be charged something like 20 cents per text, so make sure you research the costs beforehand.

Write an article based on this "Know who to contact. Determine the book advance. Choose a royalty rate. Get your details in order as a book publisher. Express interest in the work. Negotiate details."
article:
You will need to negotiate with different people, depending on who you are. Accordingly, you should figure out who to contact about making an offer for rights: If you are a publisher, then you should negotiate with the author's agent or, if there is no agent, then with the author directly. Foreign publishers will probably need to contact the publishing house which published the book initially. They typically have specialist rights staff that you work with. Alternately, you may need to work with a sub-agent. Book publishers often offer the author an advance, which is an amount of money. The advance is usually deducted from future royalties. For example, if you offer a $10,000 advance, then the author doesn't begin to receive royalties on each book sold until they have earned at least $10,000 in royalties. There is no easy way to determine how much an advance should be. If the author is unknown, then you might not need to offer any advance. Advances are also broken up and paid in installments. For example, one third may be paid upon accepting the manuscript, another third when the author delivers the manuscript, and the final third on publication. Royalties are standard and don't vary much from contract to contract. However, you need to understand royalties before going into negotiations. Consider the following: Book royalties are typically calculated as a percentage of the retail price. For example, if a hardcover sells for $25.95 and the royalty rate is 15%, then the author gets around $3.90 per book. As a publisher, you might try to get the royalty based on the net price. This is the amount you receive as publisher after the book is sold. Royalty scales can be graduated. In other words, the royalty percentage increases as the number of books are sold. An author will want to know quite a bit of detail before agreeing to sign on with you. Accordingly, you should determine the following information before going any further: expected first run (e.g., 10,000 copies) proposed publication schedule local retail price your marketing plans the amount of your advance Call up the appropriate person (author, agent, publisher) and express interest in the work. You should be prepared to discuss how much you are willing to offer as an advance, as well as your expected first run. If what you are prepared to offer is far from what the author wants, they can decline to negotiate with you. You also should be prepared to talk about your publishing house. Ideally, you will have a brochure or a list of published works that you could share with the author or agent. This is particularly important if you are buying foreign rights, because the author might not be familiar with your reputation in a different country. Before moving on to draft a contract, you should reach agreement with the author on the details of publication. This will make the contract drafting much easier. Talk about the following: proposed formats for publication (e-book, paperback, hardback) whether the copyright will be in the author's name or the publisher's the applicable currency publication schedule length of license any additional rights (such as the right to re-license in your territory) proposed changes price and availability of electronic files who will obtain permission to reproduce illustrations or other images
