Vortex Super High Power 20kw Antennas tested at
BAE Systems, (British Aerospace, Warton - UK)
We are very pleased to again work with the UK Government's (DSTL) ' Defence Science and Technology Laboratory' in assisting them in testing very high power antenna systems at BAE, Warton for military grade use.
VORTEX - Not just another antenna - from 'GUY' in Canada - "About the ten meters ant purchased last year: Great news -for two days ago we had 6 inches of wet snow, then nearly 1 inch of freezing rain and finally 40-50 mph winds ! This antenna design is superb as she take it as it was nothing ! absolutly intact and works A1 today . Congrats guys - your antenna is something that I will recommend to those looking for a compact and effective antenna ! Kindly - Guy, QC, Wild Canada."
We don't use off the shelf general purpose alloys such as 6063 and 6060 as some manufacturers do. This stock is not good for building a premium systems and flexes too easily. They are NOT classed as construction grade alloys. Our bespoke AA6082-T6 stock is about 15% stronger than the US 6061-T6 Aircraft quality stock. When it's about build quality - look no further than VORTEX – no one else comes close.
We specialise in designing bespoke systems for individual requirements including systems to MIL Specification or for use in extreme environments. Vortex are suppliers to HM Government.

Vortex raise the bar again with the new
'QUASAR Q82' high performance 10/11m vertical
Independant tests from users say the Vortex Quasar Q82 is now the benchmark for 10/11m vertical antennas. Against the Sirio V4000, the Q82 was constantly 2 'S' units up and the build quality is about the best you'll get worldwide - a reputation that we've built upon since starting in 2009.

"RE: The 'FX' Effect."
>>It is my understanding that dynamic range is the range>between 1 and 255>>DR is expressed in EV or number of stops, each stop doubling>or halving the amount of light.>>The "1 to 255" scaling you mention is an arbitrary>classification that is a linear distribution of luminance>values in programs like Photoshop.The DR falls within pure black and pure white regardless of how many stops of EV there is. The scaling I mentioned is universally accepted as a way of defining the blacks and whites. If an area of an image is blown then there isn't any information to recover? If it is blown in all three channels then it is gone. If only one channel then information can be taken from the other two channels. The information will be taken from the lightest areas of the two remaining channels so I don't see where DR comes into the equation. http://www.flickr.com/photos/43019448@N04/

Slaughterhouse-Five Chapter 5, Section 55 Summary
- During Billy's morphine-addled night in the prison hospital, the English officers bring in another American soldier.
- The American is Paul Lazzaro, a car thief from Illinois. His arm has been broken by an Englishman whose cigarettes he tried to steal.
- The Englishman Lazzaro tried to rob played Cinderella's Blue Fairy Godmother in the play they put on to welcome the Americans.
- The Blue Fairy Godmother is carrying Lazzaro's upper body; the British colonel who gave Billy his morphine is carrying his feet.
- The two men agree that the Americans seem like a pathetic bunch.
- A German army major comes by the hospital to apologize to the Englishmen for having to put up with the Americans.
- He promises the English (whom he likes very much) that the Americans are going to be shipped off to Dresden in a couple days.
- The German major is carrying an essay written by an American turned Nazi about the behavior of American prisoners of war.
- The author of this (fictional) essay is named Howard W. Campbell, Jr., and he will hang himself at the end of the war.

Jennifer was invited by Allegro Coffee Company to tag along on an origin trip to Honduras. Here's her recap of the week she spent there.
It was the end of the trip, and we were saying our goodbyes. "It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," I heard myself say. After all, a week-long trip to Honduras to meet coffee farmers isn't something that's offered to me very often. As I watched Allegro coffee buyer Christy Thorns swerve calmly and efficiently through the Tegucigalpa airport I realized that, for her, this Honduran adventure was a fairly regular occurrence.
Over the span of a week, I watched a coffee cupping competition, observed Honduran farmers attend a series of talks to help them combat leaf rust, a plant disease that could potentially decimate their crops, visited coffee farms and mills, attended an awards ceremony and happily received a dust bath in the back of a pickup truck. That's the short of it.
The long-tail effect of this trip, however, is that when I grind and brew my coffee beans each morning, I'll remember those shade-grown coffee farms. I'll remember how a juicy coffee cherry was plucked off of a branch and pulled apart to show me the viscous outer covering of the bean that later turns into a parchment ("Nature's plastic wrap," we joked.) that protects the bean. I'll remember the flurry of hands as they sorted beans running by on a conveyor belt. And I'll never forget the faces of the hardworking farmers that choose to grow organic coffee, despite the extra steps they have to take to do it.
And even though it was a short, fleeting moment, I'll fondly recall the quiet 10 minutes that we spent sipping coffee served us by a farmer's wife after touring their farm. It was sweetened with a heavy hand, as many beverages offered to me in Honduras were, but it was hot and freshly made. There is something very "all is right in the world" about enjoying coffee on an actual coffee farm. On the farm in Honduras or not, it's a feeling I'll revisit whenever I can.

So, far the links we created on our teacloud index page have been what are often referred to as, "internal links", meaning all the links we created are links to other pages within the teacloud site. But there will be times that come up when you want to link to other pages out on the web. If I come down here, and look at the bottom of my page. I have this "Site Design by lynda.com", and that's actually a link, lynda.com here. Let's take a look at this in my browser. Here we have Site Design by lynda.com. It's underlined implying that it's a link, and when I click on it, sure enough it takes me right to the lynda.com website. This is not on the teacloud website.
We're actually looking at the lynda.com website right here live on the web. Let's take a look at how we do this. Let's go back to {italic}Dreamweaver.{plain} I'm just going to remove this link and I'll just add it back to show you how this works. With my curser in that link, and notice that I don't have to select the entire link at all. I just have to be somewhere inside that link with my curser. I'll see the link field down here. I'm just going to select the information in the field, and choose to delete that. You'll notice that the underline has now disappeared from lynda.com. It is no longer a link. When you're linking to an external website, the most important thing to remember is you have to provide the full URL; the full address of the website that you want to link to. I can't just come in here, and select the text. When I create a link, I do have to select all the text that I want to turn into a link, but I can't just come in here and select that and type in "lynda.com", like so.
Watch what happens if I try that. Click on my link. It's actually trying to find a file called "lynda.com" in my teacloud site. When I don't put in the entire address, {italic}Dreamweaver,{plain} and browsers assume that I'm linking to an internal link. Just like when I come in here, and type "aboutus.html", the browser is going to assume that aboutus.html is in the same directory because I haven't specified any other directory. In this case that works because index is in the same directory as aboutus.html. But in the case of an external link, I must put the full address, and that means typing "http://www.lynda.com". You have to have the "http://". You can't just type "lynda.com".
You can't just type "www.lynda.com". It must be the full address. So, with that entered, let's test that again. There it is. That's a fairly easy address to type. Let's say that you have a more complicated address that you need. For instance, maybe I wanted to link directly to my previous {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} title. Let me just go and look for a {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} title here. There's {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} 8 Essential Training. This address up here, "http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=172". I don't want to type all that.
When you want to link to a page like this in {italic}Dreamweaver,{plain} the best thing to do is actually go to the page itself, select the address, and Copy it. In addition to not having to type this in, this guarantees you that you have the correct address because you're selecting the actual address and copying it. Now, I can just go back to my {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} page, and just by way of example, I'll just click inside the lynda.com page here again, and I'll delete that text in there and we'll choose Edit > Paste. And, there is the full address, as you can see right there.
Let's test that out. Click on my link, and sure enough it takes me right to that page. So, that's the basics of linking to an external web page. The main thing to remember is you have to have the full address in there. I'm just going to change this back to "lynda.com". As long as you have that "http://" in there, that tells the web browser that you're linking to a page out on the web, and not necessarily to a page within your own website.

Together, we can celebrate these changes and know that, starting now, we will put an end to some of the most egregious insurance-company practices that have kept you and your family from being in control of your health care.
Many of these important reforms are already under way.
Pennsylvania now has a high-risk insurance option, called FairCare, which offers coverage for people who were previously denied it because of a pre-existing condition. Seniors who reach the prescription drug "doughnut hole" are receiving $250 checks in the mail to help them afford their medications.

The DisplayDevice class
There are three main types of display devices: monitors, projectors and TV screens. OpenTK exposes all of them through the same interface:
You can use
OpenTK.DisplayDevice to query available display devices, discover and modify their properties.
Example 1: discover available devices
using OpenTK; foreach(DisplayIndex index in Enum.GetValues(typeof(DisplayIndex))) { DisplayDevice device = DisplayDevice.GetDisplay(index); if (device == null) { continue; } Console.WriteLine(device.IsPrimary); Console.WriteLine(device.Bounds); Console.WriteLine(device.RefreshRate); Console.WriteLine(device.BitsPerPixel); foreach (DisplayResolution res in device.AvailableResolutions) { Console.WriteLine(res); } }
Example 2: set the resolution of the first device to 800x600x32@60Hz:
using OpenTK; devices[0].ChangeResolution(800, 600, 32,60);
Example 3: set the resolution of the second device to 800x600x32 using the preferred refresh rate:
using OpenTK; devices[1].ChangeResolution(800, 600, 32, -1);
Example 4: restore all devices to their default settings
using OpenTK; foreach (DisplayDevice device in DisplayDevice.AvailableDevices) { device.RestoreResolution(); }
OpenTK will try to match your custom resolution to the closest supported resolution. If a specific bit depth or refresh rate is not supported, the current bit depth or refresh rate will be used. If no custom resolution matches the specified parameters, the current
DisplayResolution will be used. You can specify a negative number or zero to indicate that a specific parameter is of no interest: for example, specifying a refresh rate of 0 will result in the default refresh rate being used.
Note that it is your responsibility to call
RestoreResolution() prior to exiting your application. Failing to call this method will result in undefined behavior.

I think the greater than should be an equality in Example 1.
Good catch, fixed.
In Example 4 , when I build , emerge a error. " the 'OpenTK.DisplayDevice' doesn't contain the definition of 'AvailableDevices'
Does the Eample wrong? Or How can I do for it ?
Regarding to the first example, here is a correction to avoid the "obsolete warning":
foreach(DisplayIndex index in Enum.GetValues(typeof(DisplayIndex))) { DisplayDevice device = DisplayDevice.GetDisplay(index); if (device == null) { continue; } System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(device.IsPrimary); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(device.Bounds); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(device.RefreshRate); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(device.BitsPerPixel); foreach (DisplayResolution res in device.AvailableResolutions) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(res); } }
Thanks, fixed.
is that possible to set a custom resolution?
I can use the nvidia panel to set a custom resolution, e.g. 1920x540, but it seems OpenTK is unable to set such resolution (since it's not listed internally among the available resolutions).
Thank you

8/10 Cancer can strike the very young.
I had previously not had insurance and spent considerable money on my dog who had many many issues. When I started again I decided to use insurance, initially I was frustrated by the abrupt change in premiums due to change in coverage and 'increase veterinarian costs'. I considered cancelling…thank goodness I didn't. Unfortunately I used the insurance. I could focus on my pet and not worry about the bills. My costs were astronomical, the claims people were great and I did feel that they truly were saddened that despite aggressive treatment my dog did not survive.

The post The Importance of Word-of-Mouth in the Digital World appeared first on Starting a Business in Ireland | Help for Ireland's Entrepreneurs | Start Up Your Own Business.]]>
The Importance of Word-of-Mouth in the Digital World – By Denise Kennedy – Denise Kennedy Communications
Do you know if your customers are talking about your business? More importantly, do you know what they are saying, and where they are sharing their experience of your business? If you don't, you are in trouble….
Word-of-Mouth Advertising (or Marketing), as defined by Entrepreneur.com is "an unpaid form of promotion in which satisfied customers tell other people how much they like a business, product or service".
It sounds simple doesn't it? You deliver a good product or service and your customer will tell others how happy they are! Well, no it's not that easy….It takes time, dedication and effort. You need to deliver a consistent and an exceptional experience to your customer throughout his/her relationship with you, and maybe then, they will put their own reputation at risk by recommending you. Your business also needs to be easily found online so make sure you are present wherever your customers are.
How word-of-mouth has evolved
Word-of-Mouth is the oldest form of advertising. Before the advent of print, people gathered in taverns and shops to exchange opinions, speak their minds and catch up on the latest news. It is the most credible and one of the most effective ways to build your business and grow your reputation. People always have, and always will, believe the advice and opinions of others.
With the advent of the Digital Age, the ever-connected consumer and the rise of social media, word-of-mouth has changed. Rather than being a conversation between two people, today word-of-mouth can reach hundreds, if not thousands of people thanks to the power of social media, online forums and reviews.
The power of Social Media
Today, social media is the most common vehicle for word-of-mouth advertising and business owners must understand the influence that Twitter, Facebook, online forums and blogs have on their reputation and the success (or failure) of their business.
Before making any form of purchase, the connected consumer will conduct research online by logging into dedicated forums, asking their friends for help and advice on Twitter and Facebook and by reading reviews. I do this every time I want to purchase something – last weekend my partner and I went to a seaside town that we did not know for two nights. We stayed in a beautiful hotel that we chose following an evening reading a number of reviews on TripAdvisor and Booking.com. The hotel we stayed in was excellent and not only met, but exceeded our expectations. Do you know what I did when I got home – I gave the hotel a very positive review online and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who asks me! This form of research is a pure example of word-of-mouth in the digital age.
What you can do to build word-of-mouth
To generate positive word-of-mouth, build your reputation and spread awareness of your business, you can start by:
Don't miss out on growing your business
In summary, businesses can no longer afford to ignore the online world and the importance it plays in spreading the word about your business (be it positive or negative) and if you are clever you will increase your number of customers and your profits.

The post Are you sure that you are Communicating the Right Message to your Customers? appeared first on Starting a Business in Ireland | Help for Ireland's Entrepreneurs | Start Up Your Own Business.]]>
By Denise Kennedy – Denise Kennedy Communications
Have you ever read an advert, a brochure, a webpage and felt totally confused, wondering what exactly that person was trying to sell? It's most likely that the seller is just as confused as you are…Many small business owners launch without having developed a clear marketing strategy, key marketing messages and a communications strategy and action plan. The simple reason being is that they don't know where or how to start. The result – wrong audience, wrong message, little to no engagement, little awareness, and subsequently no customers and no sales!
Every communications strategy starts with the development of a key marketing message (also called your unique selling proposition or key benefit). Your key marketing message is the number one thing you want your audience to remember about your business and that sets you apart from your competition. Without a message, you cannot develop a communications strategy and plan to reach your target audience.
Your key marketing message can be used throughout all your marketing materials to position your company and your products. Focus on the one key benefit your company or product offers, and reinforce it by saying it in different ways and in different mediums.
The process of developing your key marketing message begins with a thorough analysis of your company's position in the marketplace. In order to be accurate you need to evaluate what your competitors offer for a similar product so that you can determine the one thing your company or product does better. You also need to understand your customers, what problem they have/what do they need so that you can determine how your product solves this problem/fills this need. Last but certainly not least, be honest! Do not make any false statements and if you claim to be the leader in your field make sure that you have proof points to back that statement.
When you have nailed down you key marketing message, and when it is very clear what you do and what you offer you can then incorporate it into all of your marketing touch points – both online and offline. This will help build your brand and generate awareness and interest. The key is to be consistent across the line by integrating the same key marketing messages into all your communications from website to social media, blogs, brochures, business cards, adverts and videos, to name a few.
If you need some professional help and guidance in formulating your key marketing messages be sure to get in touch with me at email@example.com

Benefits of good cash flow management
The overall aim of highlighting the issues mentioned above is to firstly make you more aware of your cash position which will ultimately help you to improve it.
The ability to monitor your cash flow situation is hugely important when it comes to trying to get your business to thrive under pressure.
By simply being able to follow good cash flow procedures your business will reap the rewards almost instantly when it comes to building and growing your company.
Pay your debts
Having a good cash flow situation will make the payment of debts easier. The ability to pay your bills on time and avoid due deadline dates will create better relationships with your suppliers.
Top Tip: Having a good track record paying your bills will create greater understanding if the situation ever arises where you cannot pay a bill on time or are seeking out financial help.
Being able to pay your bills on time means there will be no impact on your credit rating. Having a good credit rating is very important especially if you are looking for financing later on in life.
Less Stress
When you are constantly under financial difficulty a lot of stress can come with the territory. It can impact your life greatly. Getting into a good financial position is important for not only your business but your own life as well.
Top Tip: When you are running a business wages become a huge part of your expenses. Having a positive cash flow takes away a huge amount of stress when it comes to paying employees and lets you focus on growth and expansion.
A good cash flow position brings with it a lot of benefits. Having a proven track record with money and being able to manage your finances has a lot of perks to it. Better interest rates being just one example.
Once a business has established a good cash flow history and has a cash flow that is positive, it is then best placed to look at expansion plans for the business. Potential lenders will expect past, present and future cash flow projections to assure them that the business is on a solid footing.
At this point it's worth pointing out that an accounting software package will be of enormous benefit. Used properly it will do all your heavy lifting and help you tick all the boxes on the cash flow checklist below.
Thank you for taking the time to read our three-part series on cash flow. It's such an important subject and we hope that we have made it clear that cash flow is one aspect of your business that you need to be on top off.

This is the second in our series of blogs on Cash Flow – by Michael O'Brien of Big Red Cloud.
Leading on from Part one where you should have a clear understanding of the importance of cash flow, now we go to the next step and look at cash flow measurement. What we can measure, we can fix!
Cash flow measurement
Having the ability and know how to foresee your cash flow situation over the course of the coming months is something you should try and master. The better prepared you are, the less issues you will come across along the way.
Get the basics right:
Cash flow is receipts coming into the business less cash paid out of the business.
What does this means?
When one figure is taken from the other your business is either left in a positive or a negative cash flow situation.
Positive cash flow
Your business has been able to monitor and manage its cash flow correctly and there is enough money coming into the business to cover any outgoings.
Negative cash flow
Urgent action is needed to resolve the current cash flow situation as the business does not have enough money to cover the money that is leaving the business to pay for wages, purchases and expenses.
Cash flow forecasting
One point that cannot but be over emphasised enough is cash flow forecasting for your business. It is a very important analysis when planning ahead for the future of your business.
Top Tip: Forecasting will not only give you the foresight to manage your business accounts but more importantly your payments, so you can always keep on top of your cash flow.
Forecasting can be vital for the future of your business. If it is carried out correctly it can put you and your business in a good position. Nasty surprises will become a thing of the past with accurate data now building the foundations of your business.
An accounting software solution is something you should consider for your business especially to facilitate proper, accurate and timely forecasting.
Managing & improving your cash flow
Provided below are a number of key practice recommendations that you should take note of when you are moving forward with your business. This should result, firstly in a solid foundation for your business and secondly a stable, positive cash flow position.
The first key to good cash flow management is to simply be aware of the pitfalls ahead over the coming months with regards to payments. Mapping out when you see the need for large chunks of cash and being ready for those instances is half the battle.
Obviously you cannot prepare for every such instance but having as much of the future mapped out in front of you as possible will help prepare for unforeseen cash flow challenges.
Planning is a fundamental business skill, no matter what the subject.
Top Tip: Taxes can often be neglected when taking the above issues into consideration. It's not just the employees who need to be paid but also the tax man. Don't forget!
The quicker you invoice your customers the quicker you can get paid for the sales you make. If it takes you 2 days to invoice your customer's details then this means that is going to be at least 3 days before you receive any payments.
Top Tip: A sale isn't a sale until it has been invoiced.
Having all the necessary information such as PO numbers is another important point to quicken up the process. Anything that can help you speed up the payment process should be looked into and carried out.
One key to carrying out forecasting is to be able to identify the largest payments being made by the business. By identifying these payments your business should now look at these figures and see how they could be reduced through cut backs or even bulk buying.
One of the most important points especially when it comes to cash flow management has to be credit control. Only giving credit to customers who can actually pay their bills on time is a huge step towards getting payments in on time. Credit limits have to be put on customers who have a negative payment history with the company.
Top Tip: Companies should outline their credit policies to customers to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Receiving cash up front will allow you to pay necessary suppliers to set the project underway.
Finally always chase up on invoices. Regular reminders will go a long way in getting your payments in on time.
Monitoring your payment terms and updating them when required is a good routine to get into as a business. Shortening payment periods in times of need and expanding on payment periods when everything is under check offers the customer a bit of leeway.
When it is your turn to make a payment it is better to wait until the bill is actually due rather than making a payment beforehand. Focusing on your cash flow situation is a lot more important than paying your own bills beforehand.
A point that can easily go unnoticed by a business is money relating to taxes such as VAT. Tax is money collected on behalf of the government that the business is obliged to collect and pay.
Top Tip: A good idea would be to open a second bank account that deals specifically with tax.
It will make it a lot easier for your business to see what cash is actually yours or the governments giving you a far greater idea of your overall financial situation. Penalties and interest charges should be avoided at all costs and this is one useful way of combating this issue.
Wages are always one of the biggest expenditures within a business. Therefore it is very important to get this part of the business all above board.
Top Tip: Investing in a simple payroll system will save you a lot of time in the long run.
Building up a solid trusting relationship between you and your bank manager could be very beneficial in the long run for your business.
Getting help with loan repayments, overdrafts or a short team moratorium on existing loan repayments (if it is particularly a bad time for you) are just some of the benefits a bank manager could provide.
Top Tip: Keeping your bank up to date with your overall position and future prospects is a great way of building a trusted relationship with your bank manager.
We look forward to seeing you in for Cash Flow Part 3, our final post in the cash flow series where we will look at three additional benefits of good cash flow management. Also, we'll share with you a really handy cash flow checklist that you can use in your business.

The importance of cash flow is misunderstood by many business owners and managers with the result that many a profitable business actually goes out of business.
It's a hard concept to grasp: if I run a profitable business, how on earth could I go out of business. Read our three part series on cash flow and you'll get a full understanding of cash flow and realise how profit is no guarantee of survival. It's no coincidence that they say "revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, but cash is king".
Let's kick off: What is cash flow?
Cash flow is the most important thing that you must look after as a business owner. It is the measure of money flowing in to your business from sales and out of your business due to wages, purchases and expenses.
You can either have a positive or negative cash flow. A positive cash flow means you have enough money coming in to cover any outgoing costs whilst a negative cash flow means that the money that is coming into the business doesn't cover the outgoings.
Cash flow can easily be mistaken for profit. It is very easy for a business to actually make a profit but when the final years figures come in, the company may still have a negative cash flow.
The reasoning for this is quite straight forward. Cash flow focuses on your business receiving the revenue that is actually owed to you.
It is fantastic if you are making sales, but at some point in time, you must receive the money you are owed from customers or clients.
Example: A retail store that buys stock with cash
Debit and credit cards have become such a popular method of payment over the last few years. However what can be often forgotten in the grand scheme of things is the fact that this form of payment may take a couple of days to process.
During this waiting period stock needs to be purchased and wages and overheads may need to be paid.
The store's sales might be good but if there is a delay in receiving the actual money into the business, they won't have the cash in hand to buy stock or meet their other day-to-day expenses. Remember, cash is king.
Top Tip: Always be aware of the fact that your cash flow and profit are separate entities. Be aware of your cash flow situation even if your company is profitable.
How does cash flow affect you?
A negative cash flow can have an impact on the outlook of your business both in the short and long term periods.
As mentioned above the lack of cash in your business can create many issues, most noteworthy, the payment of wages. Not having cash available to pay wages can create huge issues that need to be addressed to get your business back on track.
Sadly, some businesses will exist on a hand-to-mouth existence and this is stressful for everyone concerned. Good staff will be hard to retain and staff morale will take a hammering with a resulting decrease in customer care and service.
When you are running a business cash flow should be at the forefront of your mind. Profit is great in the eyes of a business but at the end of the day, profit is not cash and as we said already, cash is king.
Any decisions made regarding your business finances should take your cash flow situation and cash flow forecast into account, whether positive or negative.
A lack of cash can create a lot of issues for your business especially when it comes to your suppliers. At the end of the day if you cannot pay your suppliers you cannot function as a business without their produce or services.
A situation such as this with your suppliers can only further compound issues for your business such as a restriction on the products on offer to the customer. This could cause major dissatisfaction amongst your customer base. Your sales will then suffer, causing a compounded cash flow headache down the road as less money is coming into the business.
Top Tip: Better business planning should accommodate time for an accounting software solution. It will save you time, make your life easier and most importantly, provide accurate cash flow projections at the click of a button.
Check back from Part 2 in our cash flow series as we cover cash flow measurement which, if done correctly, will give you the ability to properly forecast how your business is going to perform and what the cash flow situation will be like. With that information you can then plan for cash flow shortages and be best prepared to overcome any challenges.

The post Learn to build a well-prepared digital marketing strategy and plan appeared first on Starting a Business in Ireland | Help for Ireland's Entrepreneurs | Start Up Your Own Business.]]>
Like most components of a successful business, digital marketing requires some sort of cohesive, holistic strategy and a plan. Your Digital Marketing Strategy is your written plan that details when and how you will use the many available online marketing channels and resources to grow your sales or meet other realistic business objectives.
Learn to build a well-prepared digital marketing strategy and plan, so you will have a controlled and manageable execution method of your online marketing initiatives and a path to capitalize on the available online resources. Without a solid digital marketing strategy, you will likely waste time and money chasing trends that never really contribute to your business in a meaningful way. So it is essential for you, if you want to be successful, that you put a lot of thought into this.
Do ask yourself what you want your digital future to look like? What scale of success do you want? What's your overall goal whether it's with your business or career?
There are going to be risks involved, so managing your strategy is going to identify and elevate a number of these risks. But why not just learn as you go, learn from your mistakes and move on?
Well because this method can severely harm your brand, your reputation and it's just wasteful in relation to your resources.

Use this Online Diploma in Digital Marketing to help you get there.
If you don't have a digital marketing strategy your competitor probably does, leading to sever loss of control on your part.

When you set up a company and it is your intention to employ staff, you must first ensure that you are registered for Employers PRSI with the Revenue Commissioners. It is now quick and easy to register online via the Revenue Online Service (ROS).
When you take on that first employee it is important to get their P45 from their previous employer and then register them as your employee online. Once you have done this, Revenue will make available to you the employees tax credit, bands and USC rates through ROS.
All modern payroll systems will allow you to connect directly with ROS and import the employee's relevant information. It's important this is done correctly from the beginning to ensure both you are your staff are paying the correct tax.
You will be obliged to return to Revenue the payroll taxes deducted from each employee online via a P30 return. These returns are periodic in nature and are due for filing and payment by the 23rd of the following month (i.e. your January 2015 P30 will be due for filing and payment by 23 February 2015).
You will also be obliged to file a year end P35 return with Revenue. This form gives details of all tax deducted from your employees during the year. Specifically it details all Income Tax, Employers and Employees PRSI and the Universal Social Charge.
Late filing and payment of P30 and P35 returns may attract penalties and interest from Revenue, so it is crucial they are paid on time.
Tax Saving tips
If your employee travels to work by bike, you can purchase the bike on their behalf and deduct this from their payroll. The employee's taxable salary is reduced by the cost of the bike and potentially saves them up to 51% (For an employee earning under €70,044). The amount of Employers PRSI paid by you will also be reduced.
Staff who commute to work can save up to 51% tax on the cost of their annual travel passes with CIE, Bus Eireann and Iarnrod Eireann. This is similar to the bike to work scheme in that the employer needs to purchase the ticket and deduct from the employees taxable pay. Employers PRSI is also reduced.

Website Design Introduction
When setting out on any business venture you want to give yourself every chance of success. Whether you are a start up or an established business looking at new opportunities many things will go against you that you can't control. The key to success is to at least do well the things you can. And that starts with your website.
Make no mistake it's your Website
Make no mistake no matter what anyone tells you in 99% of cases your website is still your most important digital tool. I hear some people say Facebook pages are but this is complete rubbish. Your website is your shop window to the world and where people find you. It's a fact that 80% of people now check a business's website before doing business with them. So not having a good one is not an option.
Take Responsibility
The first step in building a website is take responsibility for it. Say to yourself it's nobody's fault but my own if it doesn't end up well. This way you are accepting it could not go well while at the same time making the effort to make sure it does. And making the effort is doing your homework and planning.
Website Developers
The reality is many website developers are not marketers nor are they running your business for you. This is where the problem lies. Many times the business owner thinks the website is the developers problem and the web developer doesn't care as long as the client signs off and writes the cheque. Also, the developer while being adept at building pages does not have the experience or knowhow to plan marketing and communication strategy which should be at the heart of web design.
So who's to blame for bad web development?
Despite the fact I've asked business owners to take responsibility for getting their own functional website for me blame lies with the web developer or designer. They are the ones who make a living out of building websites for businesses and they should ensure they know how to do it properly and guide the client. As with any service we buy we have a certain amount of credence that the person doing the job has the required knowledge.
Web Sites are marketing and communication tools
Web developers have to see websites as digital marketing tools and not collages you have to put together with some words in the middle. A website is a crucial business tool and needs to be facilitate the objectives of that business.
Here are some top tips to ask your web designers before they start designing your website.
1. Website Objectives: Have clear objectives been agreed as to what your business wants to achieve from the website? Your designer should go through this with you.
2. Pre-Design Research: Has pre-design research been done to identify the content and structure needed to be search engine friendly. Have you looked at best industry practice at the way to deliver your service on line?
3. Digital Marketing Strategy: Before you start your website you should think about how you are going to market it after. This can have a huge effect on the features and structure of your site. This should always be agreed with your designer pre design so your website can execute your plans after. It is always preferable your designer understands the marketing environment as they can contribute and guide you through this crucial process.
4. Website Content & Communication: Have you been instructed on how to write and structure the content of your website by the design agency to achieve your objectives? At the center of this also is your communication strategy which is crucial to how people interact with your site. This should be clearly defined pre design and be consistent with your objectives.
5. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO): While content and structure is key to SEO performance have you been informed of the ongoing process necessary to improve performance. This needs to be established pre design so the site is equipment to process a SEO strategy.
6. Social Media Integration: What role will social media play with your website and is your website set up to engage it effectively?
7. Other Digital Platforms: Is the site being integrated with other digital platforms like email marketing or blogging in line with your digital strategy.
8. Is the Website Mobile Friendly? More people are browsing the internet on mobile than desktop now. So can visitors navigate your site easily on a phone or tablet?
9. Is your site Content Manageable? Is it easy for you to edit content and add pages like blogs etc without having to contact the website designer every time. This allows your site to freely evolve to your customers needs and for you to feel more in control of your own website.
Follow this simple process and your chances of getting a great website have just increased greatly. If your developer is not cooperating with the process just get another as your obviously heading down the wrong road.

A Guest Blog from the smart people at : The HR Department (www.Thehrdepartment.ie)
Creators of the Egyptian pyramids understood teams, as did every military leader in recorded history, which is why it's rather astonishing that the concept of teamwork in business is so recent. Anyone who is interested in history will know that the term "teamwork" wasn't really used in the organisational vernacular until the 1970s. It's not known why it appeared so late, perhaps the turbulent economy or the shattering of social unity caused researchers to look into why some teams fail and others succeed.
It has been said that two large pizzas should be enough to feed a team. The most popular reasons for using the two-pizza rule is that as well as keeping teams agile and responsive, when teams comprise of a dozen people or less, each member is more likely to care about the others, and are more likely to share information.
As teams scale up, unity tends to come apart. At 100 people or more, team members may get on with each other but they aren't as likely to care about their roles and helping them out to complete a task.
Building an excellent small business team is about more than just employing the correct people. It's important to inspire your team with a vision, nurture their individual talents whilst appreciating their dynamics as a team. A business succeeds when employees invest in its success, so take a read through my tips below to ensure you choose the right people to succeed with:
Be a Thought Leader
Top talent doesn't work for average companies with ineffective brands. The more a company can be positioned as an authority in its industry, the more talent will naturally be attracted to working for it. Thought leaders in an industry share expertise with others, which in turn indicates to potential hires that the company is respected within its field.
Don't Settle for Mediocre
Employers have a habit of often settling for the first run-of-the-mill person they hire, which in turn, can lead to weaknesses within a team. Once it becomes apparent that a member of the team is performing at a mediocre level, it's essential to discuss the challenges they are facing as well as letting them know that is there is support for them to do better. If there's no improvement within a few months, it's time to find a new person for the team.
Forget the Money…at First
People who have passion for the company they wish to be a part of should be strongly considered when hiring, especially if money is not their number one priority when accepting a job offer. It's important for employees to be interested in the success of the business, and if all they see are euro signs, their hearts may not really be in it.
Trust is Crucial
An employee may be highly intellectual and work hard, but if there is little or no trust in the working relationship, it's advisable to let the employee go. Daily operations generally become negatively affected if untrusted employees remain in a workplace.
Personal Lives are Important
We all have personal lives and it is important to recognise employees' lives outside the workplace. Celebrating team members' significant moments, such as birthdays or weddings, and supporting them through giving necessary time off, helps build loyalty with them, and they often pay it forward with other members of the team.
Diversity Brings Innovation
Diverse thinkers aid in building a strong team. A range of sexes, ages and races often make a team think outside the box and solve problems from many different viewpoints.
Maintain Systematic Processes
Once success has been achieved in a particular space, it is necessary to create a process that mimics that success time and time again. Whether it is through using check lists in the workplace or adopting the same successful approach for different clients, the process increases the effectiveness of a team.
Use People's Strengths
Employees have both strengths and weaknesses, both of which should be recognised and considered. Each team member should spend time using their skills to the best of their advantage, but weaknesses should be improved upon to create a skilled all-round employee.
Great Teams Read
It's a well-known saying that 'leaders are readers', so to create leaders within a team, they should consistently read. Try to share articles and books amongst the workplace to keep on top of upcoming trends and stimulate strategic thinking.
Invest in Your First Five Employees
Training should be invested into all staff, however when more time is spent training the first five employees, less time is invested in training employees who join the company at a later date. Time needs to be reserved to assist team members and to prepare them to demonstrate the same support to further employees as the company expands.
It's OK to Be Friends
More often than not, co-workers spend more time with each other in the workplace than they do with family in general. Getting on with team members creates a positive working environment whilst also increasing performance levels. As long as targets are being hit and people are being held accountable, it shouldn't be unusual to manage a team that is made up of friends.
Give Recognition
Recognising employees when they do something extraordinary not only gives them a sense of accomplishment; it inspires other team members to make the effort to also go above and beyond their normal duties.
It takes time and effort to put together a dream team, but using the above strategies, an amazing team of brilliant employees is most definitely attainable. Remember that scale can hurt focus. The greatest leaders keep their teams small and bright.

Campus Food:
I absolutely love the food at Cornell. It is so easy to be a vegetarian at school (much easier than it is at home.) Everything is marked very well to indicate its ingredients.The staff everywhere are incredibly nice and welcoming.There is always variety in the dining halls, and I highly recommend eating on West Campus! Their dining halls are the best.
Campus Food:
Cornell had fantastic dining options, though that made it hard to avoid overeating!
Campus Food:
A dining hall is a dining hall and for the most part you'll get sick of it no matter what considering you eat then again and again throughout the year. With that said, Cornell does a great job with trying to provide variety and accommodate all tastes. West campus in particular has excellent options and it is easy to find something you'd like at one of the five locations there any night of the week. Be careful not to go overboard on the desserts though - the Cornell ice cream and their cookies are so good!
Campus Food:
The dining halls food is great relative to other schools. Of course you might get bored of the dining hall food. The Temple of Zeus has great food but unfortunately is cash only. This is the only place on campus that only takes cash.
Campus Food:
Menus do not vary a lot across dinning hall and meal plans aren't cheap.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Campus Dining is first-rate and compensates for the hefty meal plan pricing. Hardly any students have qualms with it. Diversity of selection is impressive, and the all-you-can-eat facilities offer a variety of buffet assortments: deli, pasta bar, grill, stir-fry, chef's corner, Kosher corner, waffles, salad bar, smoothies, and freshly-baked desserts. The atmosphere is very pleasant and conducive to a refreshing social experience. Each dining hall has a unique atmosphere. Ivy Room, for example, has a jukebox that plays loud old-time favorites. Cascadeli offers balcony seating overlooking downtown Ithaca and Cayuga Lake in the distance. Appel Commons also provides an outdoor dining area which is open in the warmer months. Furthermore, special Cross Country Gourmet occasions take place at a variety of dining halls over the course of the semester, introducing students to marvelously exotic cuisines prepared by some of the world's leading chefs.
Chefs at the dining halls really take pride in their work and reputation, and they keep students happy and coming back for more. Even those who live off campus are continually tempted to visit on-campus eateries for all-you-can-eat dinners and Sunday brunch. A caveat: with great food and unlimited portions, many students quickly put on the Freshman 15. Thanks to the Cornell fitness centers, you can justify your indulgences.

The pads go between the convertible top material and the metal frame, so the top doesn't rub against the frame when you open/close the top, which would gradually wear it out. Instead, the pads take the wear and tear, and they're a lot cheaper and a lot easier to replace.

Skip to comments.California GOP Lawmaker Roy Ashburn Says He's Gay
Posted on 03/08/2010 1:12:10 PM PST by Amerigomag
Roy Ashburn, the conservative California state senator who was arrested last week for drunk driving after reportedly leaving a gay bar, has acknowledged that he is gay.
CBS13 reports that Ashburn made the announcement to a radio station where he used to host a talk show.
"I'm gay," he told radio host Inga Barks, according to the Sacramento Bee. "Those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long."
(Excerpt) Read more at cbsnews.com ...
"The cause is a lack of self-control. Both mental and physical.
Its just wrong... and everybody knows it."
Is that the abstract of your thesis, or is there some research involved?
There was a day they believed leprosy was caused by the way you lived your life. I have lifelong friends who are gay, never acted on it, hate themselves for it, and can't stop feeling 'gay', whatever gay is.
So, Doc, what's your diagnosis, and how much of what would you say they should take to feel like tearing into a Hooter's waitress?
Oh, and you are why people stay away from Christ, church, and Salvation. You don't know what you are talking about.
If it makes you feel any better, with respect to homosexuality, neither do I.
Why? As far as I can tell by the news articles he voted conservatively on the social issues that the gayborg favors. He did this because he was representing a conservative district. So if he can defy the gayborg and vote as he did I see no reason for him to be toast.
Even a sinner can recognize his sin and vote against the sinful urges within his body and soul.
While homosexual acts are sins, at least this guy cast his vote on the matter based of Biblical morals.
Rather have that than a so-called Christian supporting abortion rather than "impsose his own morals on others."
Agreed. But politicians always try. We all know they don't let go easily.
I don't know about research into causes of homosexuality, but I do know a bit about diabetes and brain tumor research. I suggest you look again - there is a huge amount of research on diabetes and a large amount on brain tumors. You can see the recently added brain tumor trials (worldwide) here, and the diabetes trials listed by the NIH here.
I don't know if you're old enough to remember it, but I remember when Lupus was thought to be a psychiatric condition. Theories of disease change with more knowledge, as you've so correctly pointed out.
How is vote is not the measure of who you are. How you treat a wife and family is.
"The cause is a lack of self-control. Both mental and physical."
Ouch. So you're telling me that if you didn't have such stellar self-control, you'd be out there pulling an Ashburn?
I thought he was single. If he did lie and betray his family then he should be made into bread crumbs not just toast.
"Is that the abstract of your thesis, or is there some research involved?"
Please tell me you realize that a man finding erotic stimulation from the waste elimination canal of another man is shockingly abnormal. It's common sense - no PhD needed.
No Ray, you're not "gay", you are a HOM-O-SEX-U-AL.
Now try and pronounce THOSE words correctly.
It appears that ole Ray has more than just one "sin" (or as God calls homosexuality: "an abomination"). Excessive drinking (drunkenness) and endangering other peoples lives while driving drunk aren't gonna get him a first class ticket to Heaven anytime soon.
While homosexual acts are sins, at least this guy cast his vote on the matter based of Biblical morals.
Biblical morals tell us to repent our sins; by publically announcing that he's "gay", it doesn't sound like ole Ray is going in the right direction when it comes to repentance.
Rather have that than a so-called Christian supporting abortion rather than impsose his own morals on others.
You summed up my argument with the words "so-called". He isn't a Christian; by acknowledging that he's a homosexual and has no desire to repent, he's a phoney Christian. What makes you think he can be a phoney Christian, yet a good conservative?
Are you trying to say that politicians can be disloyal to God, yet be loyal to their conservative constituents?
We can start with hedonism and loose morals.
I did not suggested that he is a Christian. I merely implied that despite his moral failings/sins, he has voted Biblical position on issues related to homosexuality.
In most cases, it's a domineering mother and a detached or absent father figure. In others, it tends to be a result of homosexual abuse.
Understood. Now that he has admitted that he is a hypocrite; not only to his constituents but to God Himself, it's time that he goes "buh bye" from the conservative policital spectrum.
If he REALLY wants to be free of the homosexual lifestyle, then there are plenty of organizations out there that can help. At that point, if he were to return to his conservative and Christian constituents and ask their forgiveness and want to once again represent them, I for one would welcome him with open arms.
I just watched this story on our local news.
Reports and film showed Ashburn returning to work and being greeted warmly and embraced by fellow workers.
I find this curious because he was DUI, but as I understand it, the main point was that he made Republicans look bad.
As long as you make Republicans look bad, anything can be forgiven.
Is there Republican challenger that can stop up and defeat him so he can have more time to spend in the public restrooms?
There are plenty of hypocrites in all churches. Most of them know it which is why they are there.
Homosexual acts are sins, but a lot of other non-sexual acts are also sins.
When confronted, this guy admitted to his behavior and yet still voted the Biblical position homosexuality.
BTW, I also did not say he should remain in office.
Amen to that brother. There are entire congregations that are riddle with sinners (some are even accepting homosexual clergy), they're called "Ala Carte Christians": they get to pick and choose which of God's laws they want to abide by.
The major difference between them and Roy Ashburn is: they're not put in a trusted position by the constituents of their district to LEGISLATE.
Homosexual acts are sins, but a lot of other non-sexual acts are also sins.
Do you believe that all sins are "equal" in the eyes of God? There is the "sin" of getting drunk on occasion; and then their is the "abomination" of man lying with man. The key in this case is that Ashburn hasn't said that he intends to repent.
Also remember my FRiend, we're in a heated culture war right now, where homosexuals and their allies are trying to push a Godless "abomination" into our valuable institutions (marriage, the family, the military, organized religion and youth mentor groups). How can someone like Roy Ashburn fight that yet still live it?
When confronted, this guy admitted to his behavior and yet still voted the Biblical position homosexuality.
Again, he lied to God and himself, yet stayed true to his constitutents with his voting record. How long do you think he could have kept up the facade before he gave into the interests of his new "identity"?
BTW, I also did not say he should remain in office.
Good. Unlike the Godless progressives that don't care if their representatives are adulterers, homosexuals, drug addicts, thieves, or like Teddy Kennedy, a murdering alcoholic sexual deviant, we need to hold our elected officials up to higher standards: those standards put forth by God and His laws.
To be sure, committing the ACT is a choice of behavior. Believing you are a homosexual isnt. Certainly, there are a great many pedophiles that have never acted on their impulses that would love to figure out why they feel that way, and what they could do to stop feeling that way.
By the way, believing (you are a homosexual) is a behavior in my book, a thinking behavior.
Homosexuality is defined by the behavior. Drug Addict is defined by the behavior, Achoholicsm is defined by the behavior, smoking is defined by the behavior. Lying is defined by the behavior
By the way I am a real bigot when it comes to behaviors, but I dont' care if people are pink or purple, or have a mole on their butt. Maybe I have a strong sense of right and wrong inherited from my parents.
The question is, are we going to tolerate and encourage homosexual behavior, or discourage it. Time and common sense have shown it to be a destructive behavior. We are not discussing the cause of this behavior yet. It is a BEHAVIOUR. An alcoholic in AA will always describe him self as such because he knows it is a behavior and he is responsible for his behavior. I don't think they spend much time on the causes because it lessens their responsiblity.
Now as to causes, I suspect there are many, but have yet found proof of a genetic test for homosexuality no matter how much the lie is presented to us.
Behavior is a complex process that we will NEVER fully understand NOR PREDICT human behavior 100% of the time. I came through the college years of skinner and other psychologists that the environment controls behavior. Now, the fashionable cause is genetics. NO ONE presents all the research of the 50's and 60's because it is not fashionable.
That said, we do get to peek at the truth and Gods complexity on occasion. A side note is that we cannot predict human behavior 100%, nor climate because it is so complex and there are so many millions of variables. Heck, we can't get a 3 day weather forecast correct because it is too complex, but the weatherman is right maybe 60-70% of the time?
Imprinting as a cause of behavior was backed up with a lot of research. I suggest if you really want to get closer to the truth you begin there. It makes sense to me and fits in with my idea of how God designed us. A baby chick is designed to follow the first thing that moves which is usually the mother hen and that is a good thing. If you are the first thing it sees move, it will follow you.
I think God designed imprinting into us also, there are certain stages in our growth when we are very impressionable and what God designed for good gets perverted by man when we expose children to perverted behavior like homosexuality. In that respect, homosexuality is not just a behavior, it is a learned behavior.
BOTTOM LINE, HOMOSEXUALITY IS A BEHAVIOUR, 2nd point is the discussion of acceptable behavior, and third what are the causes. Liberals do not want us to talk about the first and second point and want to misdirect and lie to us about the 3rd point.
I personally agree, but then there are those that would place their mouths on either the birth canal or on the penis, and that is not considered abnormal.
The idea of normal vs. abnormal is cultural, not scientific. There's a tribe in Indonesia that finds it culturally acceptible to circumsize women, put plates in their own lips, extend the necks of their women with sets of rings, and other things we here in the West may consider odd.
My, or your, opinion isn't as germaine as understanding WHY some men are sexually attracted to another man's hairy ass. WHY is a scientific question. Psychology/psychiatry doesn't cut it either.
Read Song of Solomon or a few very good books on SoS and it is clear that oral stimulation between a husband and wife is very Biblical.
What is preferable?
1. Being out of the closet about one's sexuality.
2. Living life on the down low, marrying, having kids, etc., while still having feelings for men.

The fantasy hockey world imitates the real one if you're enough of a diehard.
The best GMs in NHL history have often been known for moving on to their next mission moments after a season ends. See Lamoriello, Lou. And the same mentality makes for a great fantasy GM. Maybe you won your league this year. Maybe you came close. Maybe you floundered. Regardless, a good way to succeed is to cram for next season early. There's a lot of relevant information to find with the Stanley Cup playoffs and World Championship still happening and the draft a month away.

I am trying to add the "forever" theme by automattic that I have on my own personal blog from wordpress.com to a company blog site that was made via wordpress.org
I've read one forum but it was specific to pc users and I'm on a mac and the programs they said to download don't work for me. Does anyone know how to add this theme!?!?
