Advice You - Internet and Businesses Online

I recently received one of my regular SEO newsletters. The topic this time was understanding HTML color codes. But it skipped so many areas, that I'm sure many readers would have been lost.

So I've decided to try explaining this topic as simply as pos

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

sible.

I'll split this tutorial into 3 parts:

1) understanding decimal color codes

2) understanding hexadecimal

3) using hexadecimal in color codes

PART 1:

Its probably useful to start with monochrome TV / computer screens: The screen is made up

; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

Examples of combination products may in

f lots of dots, in a grid pattern, so that you get hundreds of dots horizontally and vertically. Computer guys call them pixels, but for the non-technical people, I'll call them dots.

Now, you can choose the brightness of each dot: no brightness = bla

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

k, full brightness = white, a level in-between = a level of grey.

To make things easy, we can use numbers to indicate how bright to make the dot. 0 = black, 255 = white, 128 = mid-grey, etc.

We could use a number range of 0 - 99, or 1 - 100, but 0 -

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

55 has a special meaning to computers, so we need to use 0 - 255.

So how does color work?

Well, imagine that instead of a dot, you actually have 3 mini-dots. The 3 mini-dots are colored: Red, Green, Blue (RGB).

Why use these particular colors?

Its

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

Combination pro

ike an optical illusion. When these 3 mini-dots are close enough together, and at full brightness, the human eye is fooled into thinking it sees white. Now, by changing the brightness of the 3 mini-dots, you can get virtually every color you need.

So,

ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc

to represent colors using numbers, we need to use 3 numbers for each dot (ie a number for each mini-dot). The order is important: the first number is for red, the second is green, the third is blue.

So, to represent black, we use: 0,0,0 (ie all mini-d

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

ts have no brightness).

255,255,255 = white (each mini dot is at full brightness, and your eye is tricked into seeing white)

128,128,128 = mid grey

255,0,0 = solid red (the red mini-dot is at full brightness, but green and blue have no brightness)

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

imilarly:

0,255,0 = solid green

0,0,255 = solid blue

Other simple colors: 128,0,0 = dull red, 64,0,0 = very dark red (almost black)...

Now, mixing colors gets interesting:

255,255,0 = yellow, 0,255,255 = cyan (light blue), 255,0,255 = Magenta (lig

t purple), 255,128,0 = Orange, 128,128,0 = brown, 128,0,128 = purple, 255,200,255 = pink

Most paint programs (even microsoft paint) will let you experiment with these color triplets. Go have some fun with colors

PART 2:

This is probably the most dif

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

icult computer concept to explain. Think back to your very early days at primary school. The teacher would have told you that there are only ten symbols for writing numbers: 0123456789. So while counting, you can only get as far as 9, then you run out

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Following aspects would a

f symbols.

But a very bright person, discovered a great way to count beyond this: the tens "column" (as well as the hundreds, thousands, etc columns). So the number in the tens column represents "groups of ten". Thus the number 423 means: 4 groups of

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

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

undred, plus 2 groups of ten, plus 3.

Computers represent numbers very differently to us. They use a system called binary... but we will use hexadecimal, because it is very simple and quick to translate between binary and hex.

Now, we can interact wi

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

h computers (using numbers) in 2 ways:

- We use decimal, and the computer converts decimal numbers into binary (easy for us, but can slow down the computer)

- We use hex, and the computer converts to binary (difficult for us, but the computer convert

tions increase the patient compliance?
What would be the developing cost?
How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen

hex to binary MUCH faster than decimal to binary)

So what is hex? Well, instead of having only ten symbols to represent numbers, we use sixteen symbols: 0123456789ABCDEF.

Now, we can count from 0 to "F", and after that we start using the "tens" colu

t?

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

n (technically, it should probably be called a sixteens column). Thus after F, we have 10, and if we keep counting, we get: 11, 12, 13, ... 19, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 20, ... 29, 2A, ... 2F, 30, ...3F, etc.

One question that often comes up is, what h

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

ppens after 9F? Why A0 of course, followed by: A1, A2, ... A9, AA, AB, ... AF, B0, B1, ... BF, C0, etc. all the way up to FF.

After that, you can go to 100, 101, 102, ... 10F, 110, 111, etc.

To get over the initial learning curve, many people use tra

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

slation tables (or calculators), so that when they see F, they can figure out it actually means fifteen.

So that we don't get confused between decimal and hex, hex numbers usually have a # symbol in front, so #10 is actually 16 Decimal., and #FF is ac

.

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

ually 255.

PART 3:

Now we can combine part 1 and part 2. Colors can be represented using hex values from #00 - #FF (ie 0 - 255).

To represent black, we have: #000000 (ie 00, 00, 00 : we put a zero in the tens column to keep the overall length the sa

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

e)

#FFFFFF = white (255,255,255)

#808080 = mid grey (#80 = 128)

#00FF00 = solid green

So thats it. Its a long explanation, but just about anyone should be able to read it and understand it, and you will be on your way to creating colorful web pages

tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products

The Strategic Professional is an effective networker; but how do you get a return on your investment of time and energy? As you weave your way through the endless referrals, links and nodes of the networked economy, it can seem like a quest for the Holy Grail? However, the answer is not as obscure as you might think. Like most activities that can add benefit to the bottom line, it just takes planning, effort and measurement.

Growing my opt-in list has been one of my major and most obvious struggles as an internet marketer thus far, as I'm sure many of you can relate to. If the money is in our lists, how do we get our website visitors to provide their names and email addresses and keep them on our newsletter list?

One of things that's especially frustrating with list building and e-mail list building is that one set of e-mails may build a relationship with one particular list, however a list that is built from some other demographic or even built from a different squeeze page with different content on it, may have a significantly different...
