While I have read for years the importance of loving oneself, it is a talent that escapes me. I am empathetic to the need for love and affection for others, but I have seldom directed it at myself. I look at myself with a very critical eye, one that I would not use for others. Why, then, do I seem to need to put the magnifying glass to my life and myself and deep it unworthy? That is a question that most of us can ask ourselves during some times in our lives.
I believe the answer lies in whether or not we are judgemental. I was raised in a home where perfection was expected and I was judged worthy by whether or not I lived up to the expectations of my parents, specifically my mother. She was a good woman, a patient teacher, and a good mother to the extent her observations about her children allowed her to be. She wanted children who would not be seen in any kind of negative light.
I popped out my own person. No one told me that I was to be meek, quiet, and well-behaved. I was loud, demanding, and had a mind of my own. Needless to say, over the ensuing years, my mother and i came to blows often. I was mouthy but avoided that step into disrespect. I would argue knowing that I would not win against either of my parents. They were in charge, not me. That did not stop me. My father once told me I should have been a lawyer the way I liked to argue.
But, I digress. I was judged as being good, when I was causing no problems. I was judged to be less than worthy if I was not going with the prescribed program of the day in my household. I was learning that love itself was not enough. I had to be worthy of that love.
That was the way of loving in the 1950s. No one cared about the psyche of the child. You were there to obey your parents without question for after all, they loved you. I look back at the kind of love I received the look to the kind of love I gave my children.
I allowed them to choose what clothes they wore, for the most part. I hugged them. I allowed them to be free enough to choose things like what we would have for meals and their haircuts. I questioned some of their choices of friends, but I knew the more I put the reins to friendships, that could open up other issues, so I would simply keep an eye out for any behaviors that might indicate problems. Unfortunately, that did not always work, but they are now full grown adults with children of their own, so I guess that was okay in the long run.
I took a chance on love. I took a chance that my kind of love would be enough to set an example for them without creating the kind of friction I grew up with. I took a chance that I was raising kind, respectful, independent children who would not have to work so hard at acceptance and love from me. I think I made mistakes but overall, I am proud of both of my children. I took a chance on love and it is still paying returns. When in doubt, take a chance on love. Now, I need to take that chance on love one more step and take a chance on loving myself. After all, I am worthy of that love too.
Interested in having me speak at your next event?

Generally filter papers are used for separating substances of different physical states. They are absorbent, porous fibre materials. The fibrous structure of filter papers forms a capillary system, whose intercapillary spaces depend, as to their size and number, on the raw materials used and which may be influenced by the beating in the hollander and the way the paper machine works.
We use natural and synthetic, organic and non-organic fibres. In order to obtain special properties they are partly treated chemically and are impregnated with synthetic resins.
Sartorius filter papers are made to a great extent from pulps of pine or spruce wood, but also of birch-, beech- and eucalyptus wood, cotton linters and viscose pulp.
These raw materials are refined to different filter papers with graded properties by wet beating in hollanders and sheet formation on specially modified paper machines.

What to do when your dryer won't spin? Follow these tips to see if there is an easy DIY solution before contacting a repair technician.
It's a common problem: You put a load of wet towels in the dryer, only to discover that your dryer won’t spin. There are a variety of issues that might be causing your dryer not to spin, so how can you determine the source of the problem?
Start by checking whether or not your dryer is plugged in. If it is, check your circuit breaker box to ensure that the dryer’s two circuit breakers are both turned on. If they aren’t, reset them.
If the plug and circuit breakers are fine, check the dryer's door switch. When you close the dryer door, a plastic peg should click and allow the switch to start the dryer. If the peg is bent or broken, you’ll need to straighten or replace the peg. If the peg is fine, the switch has probably failed and will need to be replaced.
If your dryer starts, but the drum won’t spin, it's probably due to one of these common reasons.
A broken drive belt is the most common reason a dryer won’t spin. To fix this issue, turn the drum by hand. A working belt should provide some resistance, so if the drum turns very easily and loosely, the belt is probably broken. Unplug your dryer and remove the lid so you can inspect the belt to confirm that it’s broken.
Most dryers have two drum support rollers on the back of the drum, and some dryers also have two in the front. If the rollers don’t spin freely, the motor will become overloaded, and the dryer will stop. To determine whether the drum rollers are worn out, remove the belt from the dryer and turn the drum by hand. If the drum doesn’t spin freely, check the rollers for wear. If one or more of the rollers don’t turn freely, it’s a good idea to replace them all at the same time.
If the drum's roller axles are worn out, the drum rollers won’t spin freely, causing the dryer to stop. While you’re checking the rollers for wear, inspect the drum roller axles. If the drum rollers spin freely without wobbling, the axles are in good condition. If the roller wobbles, the axles need to be replaced.
The drum glides are small plastic pieces that support the drum. When the drum spins, it slides on the drum glides. If the drum glides wear out, the drum can start binding, which strains the motor and causes it to shut down. Inspect the drum glides for wear and replace them if necessary.
The drum bearing supports the rear of the drum. When it wears out, it puts strain on the motor, causing it to stop. To determine if this is the problem, remove the dryer belt and turn the drum by hand. If the drum is hard to turn and/or makes squealing or grinding noises when turned, the bearing is worn out and needs to be replaced.
If these tips don't help fix your dryer that won’t spin, your home warranty can help. The service technician can diagnose the problem and get your dryer back up and running. Refer to your American Home Shield Warranty for details.

Would regular or balsamic vinegar also be good in pace of red wine for the dressing?
I don’t like bananas… what could I substitute in your breakfast meal preps like you oatmeal cookies and muffins?
Vegetarian one would be good, thanks! :O) Love these simple recipes.
I am making the soup right now!!
Did you use salted or unsalted canned tomatoes in the soup? I usually buy unsalted and wondered if that would make it too salty if I used veggie broth based on your measurements. Thanks in advance!
What can I use in place of the oil in the last recipe, the pasta salad?
You're hair looks so healthy and shiny.
Is there a substitute for the flax in the muffins? They don't really sell it in an available way in my country anymore because they deemed it too poisonous for the general public to use so it's difficult to buy them.
I made the minestrone soup recipe (so far)… very hearty and delicious!
Would the minestrone freeze well?

The aim of the 15th annual Industrial Simulation Conference (ISC'2017, the premier industrial simulation conference in Europe, is to give a complete overview of this year's industrial simulation related research and to provide an annual status report on present day industrial simulation research within the European Community and the rest of the world in line with European industrial research projects.
With the integration of artificial intelligence, agents and other modelling techniques, simulation has become an effective and appropriate decision support tool in industry. The exchange of techniques and ideas among universities and industry, which support the integration of simulation in the everyday workplace, is the basic premise at the heart of ISC'2017 conference. The ISC'2017 conference consists of four major parts; the first part concerns itself with discrete event simulation methodology, the second and biggest part with industrial simulation applications, a third one with industrial themed workshops, and last but not least the fourth part, namely the poster sessions for students. The whole is then illustrated by an exhibition.
The ISC also focuses on simulation applications for the factory of the future within the framework of Industry 4.0 (e.g. transformable factories, networked factories, learning factories, digital factories) depending on different drivers such as high performance, high customization, environmental friendliness, high efficiency of resources, human potential and knowledge creation as set out by the EU directories. A second focus for ISC'2017 is on new robotics applications.

Recently, the electronics industry has become the largest industry in the world. One important area of this industry is the manufacturing of integrated circuits (IC) on silicon wafers. Semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs) are complex manufacturing systems that contain hundreds of machines and thousands of lots. Currently, it seems that the improvement of operational processes creates the best opportunity to realize necessary cost reductions. Therefore, the development of efficient planning and control strategies is highly desirable in the semiconductor domain.
In order to create, implement and test the required novel strategies, it is necessary to take new opportunities of information technology into account. Modelling and Simulation are widely accepted tools in planning and production control in wafer fabs because they are able to deal with the huge complexity of modern wafer fabs.

CUDAT is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). Developers are using the GPU to do general-purpose scientific and engineering computing across a range of platforms.
The term validation is applied to those processes, which try to determine whether or not a simulation is correct with respect to the "reality". More prosaically, validation is concerned with the question "Are we building the right system?" Verification, on the other hand, seeks to answer the question "Are we building the system right?" Accreditation considers efforts to meet use case criteria. Here the question to answer is "Are the model and the system acceptable for use for a specific purpose?"
This track focuses general modelling aspects: model design methods, model representation forms and languages, model interpretation for verification, efforts and approaches for validation of model itself and as a part of simulation system. Application areas may range from archiving and communication technologies over industrial solutions to scientific systems.
Special attention is paid to formal approaches for verification and validation. Here, algebraic methods for the model constructing and generating as well as semantic dependent model interpreting are considered. In this context, XML-based model specification, transformation, and interpretation techniques are also significant.
The track handles VV&A methodology (VV&A planning, confidence levels, risk estimation, organisation, documentation, standards, cost estimation, technique application, result presentation, subject matter expert selection, fidelity, automation potential) as well as VV&A technology (documentation, CASE-tools, cross checking, requirements specification, knowledge based systems, configuration management, tool overview, simulation environments).
- New methods for effective dynamic and static process analysis either during its runtime or without necessity to run the process.
Highly skilled staff is an essential prerequisite for the safe and effective operation of industrial production systems. Simulation-based training plays an increasingly important role in qualification of plant personnel. In specific sectors such as aerospace or power stations, training simulators have already been successfully employed for many years. Latest developments in industrial information technology as well as the introduction of virtual product and process engineering provide a new technological basis for the cost-effective implementation of training simulators. Therefore, in near future the general spread of these technology in a variety of industrial sectors and applications is expected. Today ?s best practice, latest developments, and future concepts of simulation-based training in industry will be presented.
Training simulator technology. Scenarios and procedures for operator training. Modelling approaches, tools and virtual environments for training. e-Training in distributed environments. HMI and cognitive performance. Certification and standardisation issues. Industrial applications and best practice. Requirements on R&D.
Simulation Standards, Future of Simulation Software, What's Virtually Possible, Real-Time Control, Equipment Interface, Supply Chain Opportunities, Customer Focus, Making Simulation relevant.
IT systems are becoming increasingly more complex, both in terms of their scale and in terms of their individual functionalities. At the same time, the systems should be intuitively usable and should possess a flat learning curve for the user. The integration of the users into the analysis and the entire evaluation process is thus essential and new methods to increase the efficiency of evaluation are strictly required. One particularly useful method for the efficient evaluation and analysis is simulation. Within the scope of the workshop, new innovative methods and approaches for the practically oriented simulation-based evaluation of interaction-centric IT systems should be presented. An example could be a new approach to the simulation of reality in Living Labs or the usage of agent-based modelling for the simulation of distributed, heterogeneous and possibly autonomous systems.
A broad range of diverse technologies, known collectively as intelligent transportation systems (ITS), holds the answer to many of our transportation problems. ITS is comprised of a number of technologies, including information processing, communications, control, and electronics. Joining these technologies to our transportation system will save lives, time and money. ITS enables people and goods to move more safely and efficiently through a state-of-the-art, intermodal transportation system. Simulating this aspect of transportation is one of the major challenges of our time.
Simulation in long-term interdisciplinary research, simulation of supramolecular and macromolecular architectures, simulation in nanobiotechnologies, simulation of nanometric scale engineering techniques for creating materials and components, simulation of manipulator devices, simulation in nano applications related to chemicals and energy. Simulation of knowledge based multifunctional materials. Simulation of nano production processes and methods.
Simulation has become a powerful tool to help manufacturers streamline their production and output in order to more rapidly react and play to the everchanging market place while reducing costs at every step. Presentations are solicited that cover part or the whole of this lean production process such as simulation in: Work Standardization, 5S Workplace Organization, Visual Controls, Batch Size Reduction, Points of Use Storage, Quality at the Source, Workflow Practice, Improved Information and Product Flow, Cellular Manufacturing, Pull & Synchronous Scheduling, Six Sigma & Total Quality, Rapid Setup, Work Teams for Cell Management & Process Improvement, Simplified scheduling and Kanban inventory management.
"Simulation models are by nature evaluative – instead of suggesting any optimal solutions, a simulation model evaluates a given set of design variables and generates the required performance measures. For a decision maker, the process of finding a sufficiently good design setting could be too time-consuming and in many cases impossible if the search space is huge. Simulation-based optimization (SBO) is a relatively new technique that can be applied to seek the “optimal” setting for a complex system model based on one or multiple performance measures generated from simulation by using various searching methodologies. On one hand, it has been noticed from the recent publications that SBO has been successfully applied to address a wide range of real-world industrial problems with very promising results. On the other hand, it is believed that the potential benefits offered by SBO and related tools are not yet fully explored or understood on the part of industrial prospective users.
The aim of this workshop is to bring scientists, researchers and industrial practitioners working in simulation from various disciplines with interest in optimization together to share their experiences in applying SBO technologies to a wide range of industrial applications."
As open source simulation and modelling software has become a qualitative alternative to the commercial simulation packages, this track offers the possibility to showcase present-day research using these free tools.
will be published in the ISC'2017 Conference Proceedings.
The 2017 ISC Conference Committee will select the Outstanding Paper of the Conference.

When I was a kid the only empanadas that were sold on the streets or at restaurants were the “church style empanadas”, meaning the normal ones made with hominy corn or precooked cornmeal and filled with either beef or chicken, that’s it. Years later, when I visited Colombia I saw a huge number of restaurants specialized in all kinds of empanadas, including the ones made with flour and filled with all kinds of ingredients like ham and cheese, mushrooms, pepperoni, pork belly, you name it.
After posting two Colombian style empanadas on the blog, which are the beef empanadas and the ones filled with chicken, many people asked me to make flour empanadas or empanadas that could be baked in the oven. Since then, I have really wanted to share a flour empanadas recipe but had not been able due to lack of time, until now.
The recipe is mainly on how to make the dough since you can fill them with any ingredient that you want. Today, I’ll be filling them with ham and cheese but you can also use the filling I used for the other two empanada recipes.
In a large bowl mix the flour with the salt. Then add the butter and crumble it with your hands or a fork. This process can also be done in the food processor. Now, add the egg and water and knead the dough until firm but don't overwork it so your empanadas don't come out too hard. Add more water if you see that the dough is too dry. Knead dough for a few minutes, form into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface with a rolling pin until it's really thin. Cut out the dough into medium sized circles (approx. 4-5 inches or 10-13 cm) with a large cookie cutter or a bowl. Fill the empanadas with the filling of your choice, cheese, ham and cheese, chicken or beef, moisten the edges of the dough with a little bit of water, fold it over in half and seal the edges with your fingers. Now, twist the edge by folding over one of the corners with your thumb and pinching it. This will form a new pointed edge, fold this new edge over with your thumb and pinch it again. Do this until you reach the other corner of the empanada.
Brush the empanadas with the beaten egg and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. You can also fry them at 350ºF (180ºC) for about 6-7 minutes or until golden brown.
Bring extra waters if you ever notice that a dough is definitely very dry up. Rub dough for a couple of a matter of minutes, sort to a tennis ball, hold by using vinyl hold plus refrigerate for a half hour to at least one an hour.

Master Noah bought his gorgeous little family to the studio today for family portraits, and a cake smash for himself. He wasn’t too thrilled about the thought of solo images, he just wanted the cake smash, and boy did he smash it!
Thanks for coming today. Enjoy your images!
This afternoon we had the pleasure of chasing and playing with little Miss T around their gorgeous property. We were greeted by a wallaby in the yard, not a sight that you see in Brisbane anymore. Thanks for having us over for Photos M & M. Was lovely to meet you both and your beautiful daughter. Enjoy your sneak peek.
Today saw the first of our Christmas Mini Sessions, and what better way to start, than with Master A. 18 months old and so full of character. He was a real little boy, and an absolutely charming (though shy) one at that. He had a smile that would melt anyone’s heart, and I was certainly prepared to keep him.
Thanks for popping in today J. Was lovely to meet you. Enjoy your sneak peek.
At just 10 days old, Princess Grace certainly made sure I had my work cut out for me. She was so tired, but was fighting to stay awake every step of the way! There was obviously lots of excitement around, and she didn’t want to miss her modelling debut! I think I won out in the end though, even capturing a few little smiles, and some gorgeous photos.
I always adore photographing return clients, and these lovely people are no exception. I first photographed them when Miss Ayva was 1 in a cake smash, and today they were back in the studio for meet her new little brother and have some updated family photos. Despite not feeling overly great, they were little troopers. Thanks for coming in A & M!

Home security prices in Corpus Christi vary, depending on installation, equipment and monitoring. But don’t worry; there are lots of options. You’re sure to find a security system that meets your needs and your budget. For example, if you’re the DIY type, you’ll be glad to know that installing the system yourself can mean saving nearly $200. And better yet, some security companies in Corpus Christi offer basic security systems at no charge when you subscribe to monthly monitoring. If you decide to buy the security system, be prepared to spend roughly $230. The good news is you’ll then own the system outright. Of course you’ll have an array of monitoring options to choose from, and depending on which ones you select, the monthly monitoring fees range from $29.99 to $200.
Recently, how people use home security has changed for the better, thanks to wireless technology. If you choose a wireless home security system in Corpus Christi, TX, installation couldn’t be easier. You’ll never drill another hole through your walls or run unnecessary wires throughout your house. All of the system components communicate wirelessly with the control panel, so you can easily move components around. For homes with cellular service, wireless technology is a great choice. Your system can communicate with a monitoring center using a cellular uplink. Because there are no wires to cut, a wireless security system offers you added protection; a burglar can’t render your system inoperable in that way.
Have you ever wondered what’s going on at home when you aren’t there? Security cameras in Corpus Christi provide an extra set of eyes and with many to choose from there’s a camera system for every purpose. When you choose the right security camera, be it indoor, outdoor, motion-activated or night vision, you will be able to remotely watch over pets, check to make sure your children get home from school, and monitor deliveries and other arrivals. Plus, an alarm system with security cameras can be easily configured to send you email or text alerts and allow you to view live security camera footage right from your web-enabled device. There’s a security camera solution that’s just right for your home security needs.
New technological innovation means that smart home automation for Corpus Christi residents is now a fact. With smart home technology, you don’t have to stress about whether the coffee pot was left on after a hectic morning. Leaving the office late? You can still return to a lighted home and driveway. You can also remotely lock or unlock your doors, activate the security system and even turn electronics like the television on or off. Not only can you control your home from your computer or mobile device, but you can even use it as a virtual nanny with custom text or email alerts that let you know when the kids get home or if they wander into a danger zone like the pool area. Protecting your family and possessions while you’re away has never been easier.

Brent Tate is one of Bowling Green’s most valuable players.
The only problem for the Falcons, though, is they haven’t had the junior forward in the lineup often enough during his first two seasons.
But the 6-foot-2, 180-pounder is finally healthy this season.
Tate’s presence is a must for the Falcons, who are hoping to challenge for the Western Collegiate Hockey Association championship.
The Falcons open the season this weekend against 11th-ranked and former Central Collegiate Hockey Association rival Miami. The teams play Friday in the Ice Arena at 7:07 p.m. and Sunday in Oxford at 5:05 p.m.
Tate is a scoring threat, totaling 14 goals and 18 assists in 52 games with the Falcons. But he’s far more than a scorer. He can defend, play on the power-play and penalty-killing units, block shots, be a force physically and serves as a team leader.
Knee and back injuries, however, sidelined him for 17 games as a freshman and 11 games as a sophomore. He missed the final seven games last season because of knee surgery. Tate is healthy now and he’s ready to be an even bigger factor for the Falcons, who were fourth in the WCHA coaches poll.
Tate’s strength is his physical presence. He excels on the forecheck, battling opposing defensemen for the puck, and he loves to play in front of the net and in the corners — or the dirty areas as they’re called in hockey vernacular.
“I want to be a presence every game, play my role, my style and do all of the little things well,” said Tate, who was named one of BG’s assistant captains last week.
Tate admitted he came to BG “a bit banged up” after a three-year career with the Lincoln Stars in the United States (Junior) Hockey League. He spent most of his first two seasons at BG trying to get healthy and that was a challenge because of the toll the physical play took on his body.
Tate has been a regular for the Falcons since playing at Lincoln where he had 21 goals, 41 assists and 416 penalty minutes in 108 career games. He also received interest from Alaska (Fairbanks), Alaska-Anchorage, Northern Michigan, Penn State and Merrimack during the recruiting process. Tate attended the summer prospects camp of the NHL’s Washington Capitals two years ago.

Fred Beindorff photographed Ed Roth with his Ford F-100 pickup for Rod & Custom magazine in April 1957. The truck also appeared in the Nov. ’57 issue of Car Craft. Dave Shuten and his crew at Galpin Auto Sports returned the truck to this original state, right down to the Olds Fiesta hubcaps.

1957, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth pretends to lay a line on the truck’s grille for Beindorff’s camera.
Back in 1957, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth bought a brand new 1956 Ford F-100 pickup. He repainted the light green truck white with bright red flames, installed a tonneau cover with a monstrous airbrush job on it, lettered it for his business (“Any car $4 an up,” read the tailgate), and then used it as his rolling business card.
Roth didn’t own the truck for long. Oliver Bradshaw (who goes by O.Z.) spotted it on a car dealer’s lot in Bell Gardens, California—not far from where Roth had set up shop in Southgate—and bought it, flames and all, in late 1957. “It had probably short of 1,600 miles on it when I bought it,” O.Z. says. He had married his high school sweetheart, Delores, in 1955, was serving in the Army, and was looking for transportation. With Roth’s eye-popping F-truck, he got that, and more.

1) Booking a getaway to somewhere I’ve been wanting to go for a long time. I’m very excited.
2) Seeing all the colourful leaves on the trees as we drove to and from the ferry on the island last weekend.
3) Catching up with Simone and Jacquie over dessert at Sweet Obsessions.
4) Wandering around at lunchtime with Christopher, freezing our behinds off as we searched for a hotdog vendor to feed us. The delicious Japadog was our reward.
5) Listening to the heavy rainfall outside my window as I lay in bed reading a good book.
6) Calling Hendrik at home and the humour of neither of us recognizing the other’s voice. The funniest part about it was that we’d talked as recently as that morning.
7) Going through my stuff and selecting all the photos, papers, and random bits and bobs I may use in the workshop I’m taking this evening.
8) Finding in my closet a brand new shirt I’d forgotten I had recently purchased, and wearing it with pleasure.
9) Fighting my Wednesday afternoon lethargy, with a long walk, a workout and then a twenty minute nap.
10) Enjoying (what seemed like) a bottomless bowl of thai yellow curry for dinner with Mandy.
Ooh, where’s this getaway? Or is a secret getaway?

I had failed so many times in the past.
My turn around came at the half way mark. The difference between how I felt and what I saw in the mirror was amazing to me.
The workouts at Ideal are challenging and full of variety and the team of coaches are amazing, they help you stay on track and keep you motivated. The most rewarding part is that I don’t want to cross the finish line. I want to keep pushing it further, setting new goals, and seeing what I am capable of. So far, the knowledge and nutritional tips I have learned help me stay focused. I’m stronger and have more energy than ever before and I really want to be an example for my 3 boys. The most important part of this experience is the confidence it has given me. I have an amazing group of friends that I work out with every morning at 6:00 a.m. and without the support of my amazing family, this would have been another failed attempt. The confidence I have gained is priceless, thank you Team IDEAL!!!

New Delhi, Dec 19 (IANS) With Jan 31, 2011 fixed as last day for Blueline buses on the capital's roads, the Delhi government has decided to float tenders for more routes soon under the cluster system.
The city has so far cleared five clusters, a system under which the over 600 routes in the city have been divided among 17 clusters. Under this, over 800 buses will be on the roads within six months.
'In the coming week, tenders will be floated for the introduction of the cluster system in some more areas like east and west Delhi,' a Delhi government official said.
The Delhi cabinet Nov 1 had approved four clusters while another cluster for south Delhi was decided a year ago.
Cluster 1, comprising 32 routes, has been given to StarBus of Spicejet Group which will induct 232 buses in a phased manner till April 11, 2011. Besides, there will be 232 private buses in cluster 2, 182 in cluster 3, 148 in cluster 4 and 120 in cluster 5.
The privately-owned and run Blueline buses, blamed for hundreds of deaths on city roads, will be out from the city roads after Jan 31. The government now is in the process of expanding the number of its fleet so that commuters don't face any problem after the Blueline phaseout.
As per the government plan, as many as 4,400 buses under 17 clusters will join the nearly 6,500 DTC buses in the capital. A government affidavit in the high court pointed out that 11,000 buses are needed to meet the public transport needs of Delhi.

In order to get what you are looking for, as a business owner, you need to know what is required to create a website.Where would you start if you had to bring at the office all the ingredients to design a website for your company? I’m going to show you in this post which elements you have to put in your shopping car to create a site that fulfill your expectations.
Why do I want to build a website and what I want to achieve when it’s finished?
Which technology will be required? If you’re not into technology, just explain the first question to someone who deals with it.
What’s my deadline and budget for this project?
Once you are aware of those factors, it’s time to grab your shopping car and buy the first two services required to build your presence online.
First of all, register a domain name for your company. Your domain name could be yourcompany.com, yourcompany.net, .ORG, .BIZ, .US, etc. Nowadays you can find your domain with many extensions, the most common one is .COM, but if your name is already taken by somebody else, you can get any extension that goes according to your business. Keep it short, if you can, and find a name related with your product or service. For example, if your business is about car rental, try to use one of those words in your domain or a combination of both whenever is possible. This will help you later when you begin to optimize your website on the search engines.
The second step is to get a hosting service. The hosting is the rent you need to pay online every month while you are in business. With your hosting you can get your own e-mail. Remember that it is not the same doing business with a free e-mail account like yourcompany@yahoo.com than with the name your company name@yourcompany.com.
Description and images of your products or services.
About us or biographies of the executives in the company.
A headshot of your company team.
Next post I will explain how to approach the graphic design of your website base on the current corporate image of your business.If you want to know more info about this topic, drop us a line in this blog or send a message at info@ideaweb.us.

I know some classical musicians who are quite up in arms over virtual orchestras. Why hire a violinist or flautist to interpret your sheet music when you can simply set your composition software to flawlessly perform your digital score?
This is not a new phenomenon: the player piano, invented in 1895, requires no human operator, either. The last time I saw such an instrument was at Hildene, the summer home of Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert. The estate's player organ boasts an extensive collection of vintage music scrolls, most of which are now too brittle to be used. But to keep the organ fed, it has been modified with a USB port through which the scrolls' digital equivalents can be loaded.
This isn't the first time player piano and computer technologies have been integrated. In the 1980s, the Apple II often played a critical role in creating music for these automated performers, as seen in this profile.
The Apple II has only a brief visual cameo and little mention in the narration. But fear not! A more exhaustive look at the Apple II can be seen in a similar video I shared here eight years ago.
Pianos don't need computers to make music; and, with the power of MIDI, computers don't need pianos. But no matter the era, the two together are an inimitable duet.

There have been a handful of point-of-view course preview videos floating around. This one by Team France and Cofidis rider, Clément Venturini, was brought to my attention by fellow cxhairs.com and Crosshairs Radio contributor, Taylor Jones. The footage was shot for French Cyclocross website,Labourés Magazine, and does a nice job showing the elevation changes in the course as well as the trees … in the course. Also, listen for Venturini’s breathing when he’s off the bike. Even for a recon ride, every lap at Zolder is a hot lap. It’s going to be a fast race but that doesn’t necessarily mean this course is easy. Or flat.
Chris Aitken (Australian U/23 rider) also has a good preview video here featuring fellow Aussie Garry Millburn.

Attendance at Assemb. Steven Englebright’s hearing in Hauppauge demonstrates our island’s far-reaching, unified condemnation of offshore drilling along the New York coastline [“LIers voice offshore drilling fears,” News, Feb. 15].
I applaud the community leaders and lawmakers from across the political spectrum who voiced their concerns, including Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine, who spoke about our fragile coastlines.
Threating the resilience of our coastal ecosystem is the last thing Long Islanders need. As our communities continue to recover from 2012’s superstorm Sandy, we know that the impacts of climate change are real, and they call for real solutions.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo deserves praise for his efforts to fight offshore drilling in New York, as well as for his energetic support of generating electricity from offshore wind. Solutions lie in a green energy economy that offers reliable jobs and doesn’t jeopardize our health and safety.

I believe that our only hope of banning and removing assault rifles from the public is to create a congressional majority in support of this cause [“Schumer vows Hill action on guns,” News, March 5].
It doesn’t matter which party our representative or senator belongs to, as long as he or she votes for legislation in this regard. At this time, all other issues should be secondary when voting.
There’s no reason we should allow these weapons to be available to anyone who is not in law enforcement or the military. I’m a registered Conservative, but will not vote for an incumbent or other candidate who doesn’t support this key issue.
The Justice Department’s argument that a citizenship question should be added to the 2020 census form is misleading [“Citizenship query disputed,” News, March 1].
The department has never needed this question to enforce the Voting Rights Act and there is no need to do so now.
Contrary to the Justice Department’s argument, the Census Bureau has not included a citizenship question on the modern census short form sent to every household since enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
Citizen voting-age population is derived from the ongoing American Community Survey and before that, through the so-called census long form. Those data have been, and continue to be, suitable for purposes of civil rights and Voting Rights Act enforcement.
The 2020 census is already woefully underfunded and understaffed. Instead of adding unnecessary questions to make the 2020 census even more challenging, Washington should properly fund the census and ensure that all Americans are properly counted.

I commend Nassau County for granting $25,000 to the Town of Hempstead to replace trees lost on Barnum Island during superstorm Sandy [“$25G grant to replace trees,” News, Feb. 14].
As a resident of the South Shore and a lifelong nature lover, I care deeply about maintaining our delicate coastlines. However, New York State has the opportunity to go beyond one-time fixes and implement a long-term strategy to mitigate the damage done to coastal flora and human communities by climate change.
The Climate and Community Protection Act, a bill that has passed the State Assembly and has more than a dozen co-sponsors in the State Senate, would commit New York to eliminating the fossil-fuel emissions that cause sea-level rise and coastal erosion.
A companion bill, the Climate and Community Investment Act, would establish a corporate polluter penalty to fund the restoration of communities and environments harmed by climate change.
Towns would no longer have to beg for county and private grants to restore their coastal regions.
I urge Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to support these bills as part of his stated commitment to making New York State a national leader in climate legislation.

We all face change. Sometimes we choose it, sometimes it is thrust upon us.
Whether or not you have chosen the change before you, I can help you reclaim what's most important to you, and support you through the challenge.
· A theatre director returning to a fiercely competitive profession after maternity leave.
· A lawyer wanting to reinvigorate her career and rediscover her artistic pursuits.
· A radio producer looking to change his job.
· A mother dying of cancer, and her daughter, wanting to enrich their difficult journey.
I have coached for the last 7 years. I qualified at the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) in 2008. I am also trained in mind management from the Chimp Paradox model.
I have been a successful film, television and theatre actor for 27 years. Being an actor teaches me to embrace constant change and deal with uncertainty.
I bring something unique from the combination of these two crafts - creativity, staying power, coaching training and neuroscience tools.
I'm developing my practice to coach people, or those closest to them, facing a serious or terminal diagnosis.
My end-of-life coaching is a profound conversation outside of medical jargon designed to reclaim stability, focus and calm in an otherwise overwhelming situation.
I enable you to hold this great change in the spirit of acceptance, not failure, so that fulfilment, gratitude and wonder are possible.
When my father chose to die in his own home, I cared for him daily during this time. When my teenage nephew died I was able to have difficult conversations with those who had experienced losing a child.
My interest is that people reclaim their voice in a death-phobic culture - to die well, to heal, we must all tell our story.

Reliance Jio has seeked the intervention of Sanjay Singh and marked it to telecom minister Manoj Sinha and telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan regarding mandating the use of 2G technology for government-funded mobile service which will lead to further financial losses.
New Delhi: Reliance Jio has alleged that tender norms mandating the use of 2G technology for government-funded mobile service projects will favour incumbent operators and cause financial loss of around Rs 5,000 crore to the public exchequer, according to sources. The Mukesh Ambani led firm has also written a letter to Universal Service Obligation Fund Administrator Sanjay Singh and marked it to telecom minister Manoj Sinha and telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan seeking their intervention for removing the clause.
"...We are hugely disappointed by USOF Administration's decision to continue with extremely unfair, arbitrary, discriminatory, restrictive and retrograde mandate to use 2G technology for voice in its recent tender for Andaman and Nicobar Islands despite numerous reasons for not mandating a legacy technology," Jio said in the letter, seen by PTI, dated June 25, 2018.
Jio said that mandatory 2G rollout is discriminatory in nature and is bound to prohibit the participation of 4G operators in the bid. Jio in the letter alleged that the project with the mandatory use of 2G technology will be used by an incumbent operator with 2G networks to deploy their old and wasted network equipment in ANI while they upgrade their networks to 4G in other parts of the country.
The USOF wing, which is managing the project, has also proposed similar clause for telecom connectivity project in Naxal affected states and unconnected villages in the Northeast. Jio representatives in a pre-bid meeting held on June 19 have alleged that the extension of the clause for telecom infrastructure rollout project in Naxal affected area and Meghalaya alone will add to Rs 5,000 crore financial loss to the public exchequer.
"The restriction on latest technology would also impact cost efficiencies as there will be at least 30-40 per cent incremental cost addition...For example, in ANI tender itself, the government could save around Rs 100 crore and possibly more, if this restrictive condition of the tender gets removed," the letter said.
"With no advantage in terms of additional service or otherwise, the present bid condition for mandatory 2G rollout is bound to cause additional losses in both CapEx as well as opex," the letter said.
Jio played down arguments of USOF, which comes under the telecom department, that 2G is required for economical handsets and point-of-sale machines.
It said that areas to be covered under USOF project are uncovered areas and therefore there is no likelihood of any customer within these areas holding a 2G only handset and at present, there is almost nil differential in 2G and 4G handset prices.
"The tender, in the current form, is bound to result in a virtual monopoly of few incumbent operators, causing huge loss to the tune of thousands of crores to the exchequer," the letter said. Email query sent to DoT and Jio elicited no immediate response.

This is a testimonial and a cry of pain: I have been an ardent Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra subscriber through two husbands, five or six jobs, and three houses. I’ve watched the orchestra grow in size and expertise, in ensemble and solo work, in glory and power.
Now the board of directors wants to eviscerate the orchestra, proposing wage cuts of 57-67 percent, drastically reducing the number of concerts requiring a full ensemble, and bringing in outsider “guns for hire” to play on a concert-by-concert basis. As violist Evelina Chao laments in a recent Pioneer Press article, this will be the end of the SPCO as we know it, as we thrill to hear it perform.
As she points out the musicians have done more than their share to keep the SPCO working at its current excellence. They play free concerts, they’ve accepted reductions in pay that have saved the orchestra $2 million over ten years.
a. to reduce ticket prices almost beyond belief–we pay ONLY $10 per concert per person as subscribers at a low level. Even as we have not complained, it has seemed ridiculously cheap.We would gladly pay double that!
b. agreed to a multi-million dollar plan to renovate a small theater in the Ordway as the SPCO’s permanent home. No one asked us, but if they had, we’d have said, NO WAY. The Ordway is a jewelbox concert hall, one of the most beautiful in the world. Why would we want to be cramped in a little theater? Not to mention the huge funding cost this has put on the orchestra’s shoulders.
There is only one thing to do: PROTEST. Write to Dobson West, President and Managing director at The SPCO, Hamm Building, 408 St. Peter St., Saint Paul, 55102. And contact your city council member and Mayor Coleman. If cities as diverse as Milwaukee, St. Louis, Buffalo, and Houston can fund a fine home-town orchestra, we in Saint Paul can certainly come together and keep afloat one performing at its peak.
“Outsourcing” doesn’t work in many corporate situations–how many times have you hung up from Delta Airlines because the person on the other end of the line can’t speak understandable English? And it will be the death of this orchestra. We want to keep the SPCO at its current lively, talented, fully funded ensemble. If we wail, many of us will fade into the woodwork, and bite our nails in frustration. We will not cross the river to hear the “other” orchestra.
