Three Reasons to Offer an Online Newsletter
by Alicia M. Forest, MBA
Multiple Streams Queen & Coach(TM)
If you want an easy and effective way to keep in touch with your target market, consider offering an online newsletter (ezine). Here are three main reasons to implement this as part of your business building strategies.
- To continuously build your email list.
Offering an online newsletter is one of the most effective ways to build your email list. If you're already offering a Pink Spoon (your freebie offering, like a special report or short audio) to entice people to sign up for your list, consider adding a newsletter as well.
For example, when someone signs up to receive my Pink Spoon, "5 Keys to Wild Abundance in Your Business," they also receive a free subscription to my ezine, Creating Client Abundance(TM).
Then, to help others help you build your subscriber base, add a tell-a-friend opportunity to your newsletter. Simply add a line of text at the top or bottom of your newsletter that asks your reader to pass it along to anyone they know who might find it of value. Or to take it up a notch, use your shopping cart's tell-a-friend code or software like TAFPro to make it super-simple for your current readers to recommend your newsletter to others.
- To create a place for your list to get to know, like and trust you.
You know by now that in order for someone to invest their time and money with you, they have to feel good about you. They have to feel like they know you, like you and trust you before they will become a client or customer.
A newsletter is a great way to allow that process to happen. And one way to let your subscribers get to know you is by writing about your personal life, as much or as little as you'd like to share.
If you're in touch with your readers on a regular basis, and you provide them with valuable information, and you let them get to know you a bit, I guarantee that many of them will become clients and customers over time.
- It's cheap (even free) and easy!
Your newsletter can be created and delivered in a variety of ways. You can write it yourself or hire someone to write it for you. You can provide a 500-word article, or simply one tip. You can create a new issue each time or you can create a certain number of issues consisting of "evergreen" topics.
For frequency of delivery, you can send it once a week or once a month. You can set it up to go out automatically through an autoresponder or you can send it through a broadcast service each time you put it out.
For physical delivery, you can send it out through your web host, if they have this feature available to you, or through a free (www.ezezine.com) or paid (www.aweber.com) list service.
Just a sidenote here:
As your email list grows, it's inevitable that some readers will unsubscribe. Sometimes they'll tell you why, and when you receive this feedback from them, please don't take it personally, but consider using it to inform your work on your newsletter in the future.
For example, if a handful of your readers tell you that they unsubscribed because the information you're providing isn't relevant to them, that's ok. You can't please everyone, nor should you try. But if a significant number of readers are unsubscribing for the same or similar reason, you might want to take a discerning look. Are you providing the content you promised you would in the copy that encourages people to sign up? Or are you providing quality content, just not to the right niche? Or is it something else altogether?
Producing an online newsletter really can be as simple as sharing one tip via a text email on a consistent basis. You can always expand from there, if you want.
If you're ready to start acquiring more clients and customers sooner rather than later, go on and create your premiere issue today.
And then send me a copy at [email protected]!

Firms need to obtein capital during their whole cycle of life to get introduced into the market, grow and survive. A quick and easy way to solve short-trem financial problems for most firms is internal finance, this means using sources from within the business. Also these way of finance saves companies from borrowing from a lender and having to pay back interests.
One of the easiest ways of finance on their own is by using owner's funds; the major advantage is that is a very fast way of obteining capital but on the other hand it also has a huge disadvantage, the owner might not have enough money to invest on its company, so it may be insuficient. Also is a good option because avoids interest and loans and the owner keeps complete control of the business. Owner's funds is often use when starting up the company.
When a business is performing well financially it may choose to refuse some of the profits to reinvest them on the company after paying costs and taxes, is the second way of internal finance, retained profits. One significant advantage is that there are no interest cost to pay and is a fast way. But it may not leave the business with a buffer of funds to use if there is a problem.
Finally firms can sell their own assets, such as vehicles, machinary, land, etc., to raise finance. However, this is not as quick as retained profits or owner's funds, and also we have to know that buyers can be scarce, there are advertising costs and assets may have to be sold cheaply.

The Importance of Traveling
Traveling is in my blood. I come from a long line of travelers and my father was a pilot so getting on a plane and traveling across the country or across the ocean without much planning was the norm in my family. I feel really lucky to have grown up in a travel culture. I thought I would share my tips on traveling and hopefully inspire some of our readers to get out of your comfort zone and go somewhere new and exciting.
I urge you to go on a big adventure by yourself. Traveling by myself has really shaped me into the person I am today. A few years ago I was afraid to do anything by myself. I went on a few adventures by myself and then I lived in Thailand by myself for a year and half and its eye opening, exciting and challenging. I guarantee that you will grow from the experience.
Traveling alone is also fun because you can meet new people along the way and start building a friend list with people from all over the world. It's great to meet these new friends because then your intrigued to check out their country, city or town. When I was traveling through Italy I shared a room with two girls from Israel, Naama and Shani and we became fast friends and I ended up traveling with them through a portion of my time in Italy. I can't wait to go to Israel to check out the country and see in person what wonderful things they told me about their country.
First Travel Tip- Traveling Alone- If you're traveling alone try to stay in a Hostel. The word Hostel scares some people but they are the best way to meet new people. A lot of Hostels have private rooms so you can have your privacy and meet people.
Traveling with others can be challenging. Everyone handles stress and culture shock differently. I have a few great traveling buddies that I have been on some great adventures with. I am particular who I travel with because it can be a disaster to go to an amazing place with the wrong person. I am really laid back and down for any adventure but I have found over the years that I don't like to do the planning portion of traveling. It's great for me to travel with people who like to plan and are open minded as well. I traveled to Panama with my friend Alicia and we had the best adventure because we were both on the same page! We enjoyed dolphin calling, lobster barbeques and Panama's Independence Day! :)
Second Travel Tip- Find a good Travel Buddy! It's awesome if you and your partner are on the same level with your ideas of traveling but if you're not then find a friend to travel with! It can make or break your trip.
During my great adventures I have had some downfalls and its just part of the adventure. When I first moved to Thailand, I was moto mugged. I was also being an idiot so I kind of deserved it. I was actually thankful that it happened because it put me back into check that I wasn't in my country and that I needed to be more aware of my surroundings. I didn't lose anything important like my passport or a lot of money.
Third Travel Tip- Be aware of your surroundings and keep important documents (Passport) in a safe place on your body or in your hostel/hotel. Make a copy of your passport so you have proof of it. Don't have all your cash in one place. Break up your cash and put them in different places. It's a bummer to get mugged or to lose your purse or wallet and your travel funds be gone.
No matter if you're traveling for a week or for a few months or a year. I recommend that you try to find a Hash House Harriers club wherever you go. These are running/walking clubs that are established all over the world by local residents that live in the area. They usually create the running/walking trails in obscure parts of the city/town so you get an insider view of beautiful and unique trails in your visiting city or town. I became an active member of the Club in Chiang Rai, Thailand and I even got my hash name (Black Diamond).
Fourth Travel Tip- Find a Hash House Harrier Club- Check out this site to see if they have an established club in your next adventure location. http://www.worldharrierorganization.com/
I like to get to know the locals wherever I go. Meeting and hanging out with the locals in the community gives you the experience of the culture in the area. Even if I am only in the area for a short time I feel like I get a glimpse of what it's like to live in that place and that makes the trip worthwhile for me. I first try to see if I have any connections in the area. I try to find out if I have friends that have traveled to my future travel location before and get their advice on things to do and see and then I go from there. I like to take word of mouth recommendations any day over a travel book.
Fifth Travel Tip- Get to know the locals. Getting to know the culture will really heighten your experience.
Always have a list of places that you want to explore. Awe inspiring pictures of places, intriguing articles and friends travel stories have always motivated me to explore. No matter my financial situation I have always found a way to make a trip happen. You will never remember the money you spent going somewhere. What you will remember are the experiences you had on your great adventures and that is what matters the most.
Sixth Travel Trip- GO EXPLORE! It will change your life! :)

We would love to hear your travel tips! Please share any travel stories or tips with us!

7.5 (Hillary only counts for 1/2) strong came out for Combine this morning and I can only assume the low numbers were due to the rumors that KY (hereafter known as #Slacker) was to q. Unfortunately for all of you that stayed in the fartsack this morning YHC was your Q and the ones that showed up wished they hadn't. Here is what happened.
COP – Circle up on the basketball court for:
- SSH x 20
- Merkins x 20
- LBC x 20
- Flutter x 20
- 2 hand swings x 20
- High pulls x 20
- Curls x 20
- Lawnmower x20
- Dips x 20
Head to intersection of Myrtle and Park for:
5 Burpees / 5 2 hand swings / 5 lawnmower each side / 5 high pulls / 5 curls – Then drop bells and book it down to Kenilworth and back 1.5 miles round trip. Repeat exercises and Mary while waiting for the 6.
Partner up and farmer carry to intersection of Lexington and Romany. 1 carries bells 2 does 5 hand release merkins and chases switch when caught.
Int of L&M:
10 burpees / 10 2 hand swings / 10 lawnmower each side / 10 high pulls / 10 curls – drop bells and book it down to Kenilworth and back .8 mile round trip. Repeat exercises while waiting for the 6.
Rack your bell and mosey back to bball courts.
Skin – It was a good crew out there this morning. Not sure anyone was looking for a 1.5 mile round trip run to Kenilworth but that is what they got. Lack of pacing definitely got to some folks as they did not realize where Kenilworth was. No one is sure where Hillary disappears to at about 5:35 every Friday that he shows up but it must be somewhere good to drag him away from Combine before he even breaks a sweat. Oswald and Grube you guys were troopers. FOTL & Foreclosure are #OldManStrong. Alibi has some wheels when he knows where he is going and Narc you are just a punk. Can't believe you are 18.
#Slacker – Thanks for being you and giving me the opportunity to jump in this morning. Just FYI fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life and when your brain is mostly beer hops and bong resin that is a problem.
Narc there should be some kind of background check for these guys.
Be Good

Agriculture ministry officials said Iwate and Tochigi prefectures will test meat from every cow from farms that fed radioactive cesium-contaminated straw to their cattle.

Today I am proud to introduce a very good friend, Marshall G. Kent Sr., who has just released his first book of poetry titled With All My Heart. I met Marshall on Facebook while playing one of the zillions of games and was most pleasantly surprised when I read some of the poetry he posted on his timeline. He is a very talented poet who writes what I like to call working man's poetry. He doesn't use a lot of big fancy words, although he knows a lot of them and could. His poetry touches my heart, makes me think, and has me reaching out with my emotions instead of just my eyes.
And now, a few words from the great man himself. Marshall, welcome to The Book Rack.
I titled my book With ALL My Heart after thinking of many titles. I was considering Just A Squirrel Looking For Some Nuts and then shelved it. I put all my heart into life itself. I lead with my heart.
I was approached by Dr. Kiriti Sengupta about publishing my work. He said it was "high time" I put my own book out. From there the breakneck speed with which the book was published amazes me. I was to compile 50 poems and send them to him. I asked for a couple weeks and he messaged me a few days later and said he wanted to publish within 7 days, so I stayed up a couple of very long nights and randomly picked 50 to send him (all this was done via my mobile phone). Five days later, With ALL My Heart was available on Amazon. Dr. Sengupta is a very hard charger!
You're an over the road truck driver. You don't hear of many truck driving poets out there. Why did you start writing poetry?
I started writing poetry by accident. It began while attending New York Institute of Technology a few years ago. A classmate posted a poem on the school blog, and in response I put together "The Apple and The Tree"—this is my first poem as an adult and is included in With ALL My Heart.
Some of Marshall's poetry was published in the charitable anthology Twist of Fate that benefits the victims of the Oklahoma, USA, tornadoes that hit in May of 2013. Marshall was on the phone with his friend Jason Luttrell when one of the tornadoes hit. The two collaborated on a work that took Mr. Luttrell's eyewitness account and added Marshall's poetry to create a very strong piece about that terrible tragedy. "Oklahoma Strong!" is an amazing piece and I would strongly recommend reading it. Remember, all proceeds from the sale of Twist of Fate are donated to the May Tornadoes Relief Fund administered by the United Way.
Please tell us how you feel about being part of Indies In Action and our book Twist of Fate.
It was a great honor to have you bring me into IIA, Crystal. It was an opportunity to help others and being published in Twist of Fate was just icing. I never really considered myself a poet until getting published in ToF, so it did bring some personal satisfaction and I started occasionally calling myself a poet.
Everything that I learned in the Marine Corps has helped me in civilian life. The whole "never surrender" attitude and "Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful)" motto are big for me.
Check Marshall and his monkey buddies online:
New York Institute of Technology (N.Y.I.T) is where I received my Bachelor's in Behavioral Sciences. I was 39 years old when I graduated. Through the course of my studies I also completed an associate's degree in electronics.
I have always had a great love for people. I have had my share of trouble along the way in life and want to give back some of what I've learned so started out on the path of becoming a social worker/counselor. Problem with that is I have a family and bills and learned that most positions I would qualify with only a bachelor's degree wouldn't pay them. So I roll on…Poetry gives me an outlet to work on my own problems and also potentially reach someone else. We are all in this together—Life that is.
I am trying to get health and fitness to be a lifestyle is more correct. It is difficult and I have been battling obesity all my life. My snack at the end of most days is Greek yogurt and a banana.
I have seen people doing just about everything while driving down the road. You would need to censor some of them, but I have seen people driving down the interstate at over 70 MPH working on their laptops…yes, the laptop was in their lap.

Product 167/218
The game consists of 20 different levels across the seven "worlds" comprising Subcon. Each world has a particular theme that dictates the obstacles and enemies encountered in its levels, such as desert areas with dangerous quicksand and snowy areas with slippery surfaces. Levels contain multiple sections or rooms that are connected via doors or ladders. Some rooms are accessible by entering certain jars. Magic potions found in each level are used to temporarily access "Sub-space", an inverted area where the player can collect coins and Mushrooms that increase the character's maximum health. In addition, certain jars, when entered in Sub-space, will warp the player to the later worlds, skipping levels altogether. Other items available include cherries, which are collected in order to acquire a Starman; and the POW block, which can be used to quickly destroy all the enemies visible on the screen.
The player starts Super Mario Bros. 2 with three extra lives, which are lost each time the player's character loses all health from enemy or hazard damage or when the character falls off the screen. The player can replenish health by collecting floating hearts that appear upon defeating a certain number of enemies. The player will receive a Game Over upon losing the last life, though the player may continue up to twice in one game. Additional extra lives may be obtained by collecting hidden 1-Up Mushrooms or by using the coins collected from Sub-space to win the slot machine minigame played between the levels. Includes Box, Game, Game slip cover, Styrofoam insert, instruction manual and advertisement insert. Pre-owned and complete.

The Potter and the Clay
Many Christians know the teaching in Rom9.21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? But there is other teachings of the potter and the clay.
"Ah, truly," says Reuss, "if the last word of the Christian revelation is contained in the image of the potter and the clay, it is a bitter derision of all the deep needs and legitimate desires of a soul aspiring towards its God."
But it is neither the last word, nor the only word; it is not the only word, because in nine–tenths of Scripture it is as wholly excluded from the sphere of revelation as though it had been never revealed at all; and it is not the last word because we read in 2Tim2.21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
No one need be troubled by this teaching; for the clearest teaching throughout the Bible is Rom10.9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame." Hallelujah and Amen.

In his lecture on 'Radiopharmaceuticals in Medicine' Prof. Dr. Mustanser Jehangir, Prof. of Chemistry, Preston University said Radiopharmaceuticals are unique medicinal formulations containing radioisotopes which are used in major clinical areas for diagnosis and /or therapy. He further said, the use of radio pharmaceuticals for imaging organ function and disease state is an exceptional capability of nuclear medicine. Unlike other imaging modalities such as Computed Tomography(CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) and Ultrasonography (US), nuclear medicine procedures are capable of mapping physiological functions and metabolic activity thereby giving more information about the organ function and dysfunction, he maintained. It can also help detection and management of cancer at an early stage.
Dr. Mustanser said, Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive products fulfilling all pharmaceutical requirements and are intended for in-vivo administration in human beings with special purpose to carry out diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. In Pakistan, these radiopharmaceuticals are being prepared at Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (PINSTECH) and distributed to Nuclear Medical Centers established under Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and other hospitals where more than 400,000 patients are treated every year. The speaker remained associated with PINSTECH as head of the Isotope Production Division.

The Truth About Portraits
The perfect portrait adds a sense of hominess to your space, but there is much more to it than that.
We recently read about the power behind family portraits from Huffington Post. According to a study conducted in 1975 by Tulane University, a group of fourth graders at a Tennessee school experienced an increase in self-esteem while creating their own portrait scrapbooks. The students took Polaroid portraits of themselves with numerous facial expressions while striking a variety of poses. In the end, each student was able to establish characteristics about their unique personality and better understand where they, as individuals, fit in life. That is what makes a good portrait: natural, raw emotion.
This is also true of family portraits; psychologist David Krauss explains that when a child sees themselves in a photo with other family members, they see themselves as part of a whole unit. This unit is a safe space for them, as family members value and protect each other. Children feel they belong, identifying the fact that they bring uniqueness to their family.
As far as family portraits are concerned, Krauss believes that, despite living in the digital age where we can snap photos anytime, professional family photos should be displayed throughout one's home. That is to say that portraits should be displayed on every floor, but where, however, is up to you. In this way, children will see themselves upon the wall and feel "loved and cared for." They will notice that memories are important in their household.
What makes a good portrait? Your presence. Are you ready to take family portraits? Book a session at our Honolulu studio today. We offer professional family photos as well as portraits of couples and children.

History: It was a starry, starry night and there he was freshly out of the womb in a forest with his mother being under the cruciatus curse by his own father. He was only a few minutes old and his father had murdered his mother right in front of him. It was a crude sight, but there was no one there to witness it and his father had officially gotten away with murder. Cernunnos was given quite a name out of his dad's own ego.
His childhood was practically a blur; Cernunnos only ever remembered the parts of his childhood where he had witnessed his father torturing people out of his own corrupted, psychopathic tendencies. It surely didn't help him any considering the fact that he often heard his father boasting about getting away with murder numerous times to his colleagues often mentioning that he killed his own son's mother. The sight of seeing all sorts of people in pain had horrified him, and he couldn't comprehend how his father would enjoy doing stuff like that. On his eleventh birthday, Cernunnos got his letter to go to Hogwarts, and he was beyond elated to know that he wouldn't have to witness his father performing cruel acts as often as he did.
Once he had started to attend Hogwarts, he often found himself writing letters to his father talking about his feelings of nervousness and loneliness in his new school. Hogwarts was completely different in comparison to the Muggle schools he had gone to before hand because his father didn't have all of the luxuries his relatives had due to living in London. Cernunnos had almost no friends and found himself around influences many would call questionable. Cernunnos slowly became more of the person he currently is by losing his innocence at a young age due to his only friend's influence. In his third year of Hogwarts, he attempted to dress more girly whenever he wasn't in his uniform since that was how he always dressed back at home since he was a young kid who considered the Britney Spears album Blackout to be his Bible with Bratz dolls in hand. It was later on in his third year when one could say that he was beginning to take a turn for the worst. Sure, he had lived off of his father's attention due to being his only family, but he was starting to go through a complex, a complex that'd turn ugly before he even knew it. It all started with very subtle actions such as accidentally bumping into his father's more inappropriate parts along with trying to get a glimpse of him whenever he could. Obviously, that only ever happened during summer break because he never really went home for the shorter breaks until his fifth year. One could say that Cernunnos was starting to go down into a slippery slope; he began drinking underage, picked up a smoking habit, and started to become promiscuous in hopes of filling the needs he had been developing. Stuff that was frowned upon was more appealing, and his father praised him whenever he was cold toward a person or acted a way the child of a Death Eater would. He began to take advantage of that fact causing him to slowly develop an ego which he hid through the shy kid image he had since he started going to Hogwarts.
Family History: Born as one of the Death Eater's only child, he was practically ostracized by his own families, especially for being born out of wedlock. He was ostracized to the point of only knowing that he has a father and a dead mother. However, Cernunnos didn't really care just as long as he still got attention from his father. Thanks to him being born, he practically caused his father to be named a "blood traitor" by his colleagues which didn't really help with the fact that Cernunnos's mother is fully out of the picture. Whether he, or most of his generation, even knows that they're descendants of Salazar Slytherin as an practically unknown Italian branch, has yet to be seen.

Automobiles have evolved from being purely means of transport to becoming intelligent nodes in technology and communications networks – with these words, the sixth Automotive Summit opens in South Carolina from 20 to 22 February, informing visitors about the latest digital developments in the automotive industry and in industrial 4.0 projects. Around 500 interested visitors and guests are expected this year. The engineering company in-tech, will be presenting its intelligent apps for displaying and controlling vehicle data as well as industrial machinery parks, which are suitable for the topic, at its exhibition stand.
"The SC Automotive Summit is an optimal platform for us to underline our know-how in industrial and automotive projects as well as to win new project partners. Since the event is mainly attended by suppliers and automotive OEMs, we are looking forward to a lot of interesting discussions, especially with the panel discussions", said Christoph Schönmetzler, CEO in-tech USA.
Intelligent apps for transparence in vehicles and in machine parks
in-tech will present the orangeCtrl system, which consists of a hardware box and a complete Linux operating system. The box is generally installed in the trunk of the vehicle and connected directly to the relevant vehicle buses (CAN, FlexRay, LIN). Thanks to the direct connection to the available bus interfaces, almost all communication within the vehicle can be intercepted. An Android app is also included. The solution scans the sensor data on the CAN bus and transmits the information wirelessly, via WLAN or Bluetooth, to mobile devices. The app visualizes and controls any vehicle data in real time.
in-tech also demonstrates intelligent apps that are used on tablets, smartphones or smart watches to optimize and monitor production facilities in machinery parks. With these apps, the engineering specialist shows how the operation of production plants is optimized by the improved integration of the operator into the overall process. Through various views, the app assists operators, guides them to the right place, and increases productivity.
Panel discussion and Tech Talk – Smart devices optimize production processes
In the context of a panel discussion under the subject of "Industry 4.0 Smart Factories and Big Data Transformation", moderated by Christian Wagner, CEO in-tech GmbH, the discussion of how the entire interaction functions in practice will be explained from various viewpoints. Moreover, in-tech is one of 12 companies in the Summit to hold a "Tech Talk". Under the title "Production Optimization Using Apps", Thomas Sorg, Head of Division Machinery HMI, will be able to provide interesting insights into today's possibilities, such as smart devices, to significantly improve production processes in factories.

In a short interview with the Wall Street Journal, Lexus Group Vice President Mark Templin revealed that the company will be releasing four new models next year:
…he's cutting back spending now so he can invest in the marketing campaigns of these four products one of which, the new RX, was revealed Wednesday. In six weeks at the Detroit auto show, Lexus plans to unveil its new dedicated hybrid, the HS250h. And it is also releasing a new IS convertible next year. Mr. Templin declined to provide details on the fourth product.
Speculation is running wild as to what this new model might be. There's a few options, but the one I'm hearing most is a sport version of the LS, which I presume will be released as the LS-F. Like the IS-F, this sport package is said to include a new body kit, the Brembo brake package, and the IS-F/600h engine, among other various performance enhancements.
Also, speaking of the 2010 LS, I've been told numerous times that both the ES & LS will be receiving a refresh for 2010, and that part of the facelift will be incorporating the grille from the LF-Xh. Anyone want to give that a shot in Photoshop?

Another year flew by again so time to have a quick overview on all the amazing things that happened during 2017.
The year started with a lot of positive feedback on the feature piece staircase that we installed at The Duchess of Cornwall Inn in Cornwall. This was a very challenging project with a very tight deadline to get everything ready for the royal inauguration by H.R.H. Prince Charles, but as the saying goes: 'Diamonds are made under pressure.'.
Here at Smet Staircases we take pride in every staircase that we deliver and stop at nothing until the Client is 100% satisfied. Mentioning every project that we've done would take us too far, but let us bring up a few that stood a bit out this year.
First of all we had the 5-story house in Chelsea where we teamed up with our old friends from New Wave London. The brief was a 4-flight staircase with continuous handrail from top to bottom, a cut string design and 2 flights to be cladded with marble. The end result looks stunning and we'll share some professional pictures in the run of next year to show for it!
Next up we had another project in Chelsea together with Egg Group Ltd. As with previous projects that we've done together they chose our tried and tested blockstair design finished off with some grey tinted glass panels. Follow our social media and subscribe to our newsletter if you want to see how this one turned out.
In both May and September we also exhibited at two trend setting design shows that is Grand Designs Live and Decorex international. We always take great pleasure in meeting all of you there and helping you in a very personal way with your staircase project. We can now also officially announce the in 2018 we will again be exhibiting at both Grand Designs Live and Decorex International!
Finally, we are looking forward to 2018 for various reasons. Some of them we unfortunately can't share at this moment in time, but one of those reasons that we can share is the amazing project at Manhattan Loft Gardens that we have coming up shortly after the Holiday Season. This fully curved and free standing staircase will be the centre of attention once installed in the Penthouse on the 42nd storey.
We hope 2017 has been as kind to you as it has been to us and we're already looking forward to all the great things 2018 will bring. The entire Smet Team would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Why thebudgetguy.blog?
These days, when it comes to the federal budget, taxes, spending, the deficit, the national debt and politics and process:
- There's little more than misinformation, disinformation and outright lies.
- The laws of mathematics are routinely ignored.
- Solid economic policy has been replaced by cynical politics.
- The law is violated with increasing impunity.
- It's often nothing more than BS.
thebudgetguy.blog provides a much-needed federal budget reality check by revealing the liars and clowns, telling the real story and providing the perspective that others — especially those at the White House and on Capitol Hill — won't do.
And it's all done with style, flare and just enough snark and irreverence to put a smile on your face.

People who eat a lot of yogurt, reduced risk of diabetes, according to a new British scientific research. Researchers Kilinikis School of Medicine University of Cambridge, led by epidemiologist Dr Nita Forouchi, made after publication in the journal "Diabetologia" European Association for the Study of Diabetes, found that higher consumption of yogurt reduces by 28% the risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those who eat no yogurt.
Reducing the risk applies to all types of yogurt, and some cheeses low fat. "Our research shows that certain foods can play an important role in the prevention of type 2 diabetes and are important for public health," said Nita Forouchi. Previous studies on the relationship between milk and diabetes had resulted in mixed and inconclusive findings. The new detailed investigation was made at more than 3,500 men and women, of whom 753 had diabetes in a period of 11 years. The researchers analyzed thoroughly the diet of these people. was concluded those who ate the most dairy products with low fat (mainly yogurt, but also light cheeses like "cottage") had on average 24% less likely to develop diabetes. Especially the consumption of low-fat yogurt (on average four to five bowls of yogurt 125 grams) decreased by 28% the risk. Researchers observe how yoghurts and dairy products generally contain beneficial health ingredients such as vitamin D, calcium and magnesium, as well as probiotic bacteria. Type 2 diabetes has shown an upward trend in each country and the International Diabetes Federation estimates that 382 million people suffering from this disease in 2013, a figure expected to rise to 592 million.

Conflict with Grace – Communication
"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply."
How often do you find yourself talking to one person or a group of people only to find that they heard maybe the first couple of words that you said and then they began the process of compiling their answers in their head … sometimes even interrupting you so they can get their thoughts/answers out before you have even gotten to the point of your conversation?
Are you listening?
An expert in communication is someone who listens 90% of the time – intently – pauses to think about whom they want to be in the moment of their answer and then speaks the other 10% of the time. This is the true process of effective and great communication. This process has been lost to most of us today as life seems so chaotic that we don't feel as if we have time to listen in this manner – hurry up and say it! I have things to do! We spend so much of our time multi tasking that communicating effectively, hence listening, has become hard work.
Reality … listening intently is a choice … a choice to be involved in the conversation (90% listening), a choice to be there with the other person in the present moment (to care enough about that person and yourself). Decide to make that choice.
I have a friend that does this quite well. He listens with such intensity that he can almost literally repeat back word for word what I have said. It is refreshing! I love it! He is totally present in the moment with you. He has ruined me for other people who are not in that moment! Glad to have been ruined, though.
Communication is key to handling conflict with grace. Once you are able to consciously put yourself fully into any conversation by being present, then you begin to really connect with the person speaking along with connecting more to yourself. You find that life is not as chaotic as you thought it was as you have started choosing to find the joy of being present.
What can you do?
Next time you are having a conversation, notice when people begin to zone out into their own world. Then notice yourself when you start to zone out when someone else is talking. Do this at work or at home. You can only change yourself so begin there. Begin noticing your own pattern of communication style and make a choice to change. You will be surprised by how much freedom this change can bring to you.
Return next week for the last step in Conflict with Grace.
If you would like to learn more about this process, click below to have a conversation with me. Conflict will never look the same again.

What Does it Mean to Study Management?
Management is an essential business function. A manager is a person responsible for pulling people and a project together, using knowledge of the principles of organization, the need for division of labor and allocation of resources, and the necessity of a formal hierarchy in larger organizations. A good manager has great communication skills, logical linear thinking, and comfort and competence in their leadership.
Types of Management Degrees
Management degree programs can help to develop effective interpersonal skills, foster decision-making and entrepreneurial thinking, and familiarize you with diverse business environments. The skills you develop can be applied to areas such as personnel management, organizational behavior, production, international and small business, healthcare, government agencies, financial institutions, telecommunications, hospitality, and education.
Bachelor's Degrees in Management
As with most business fields, preferred management candidates will have a minimum of a bachelor's degree. You may choose to start with an associate degree and get your foot in the door of the workforce, but in order to advance, you will eventually need to complete your BA or BS in management. A standard bachelor's degree in management takes three to four years and will give you a broad management education, with the option to tailor your curriculum to your area of interest.
Online Business Management Training
Online college classes are gaining in popularity among working business professionals as they seek to enhance their resumes without putting their careers on hold. Online degrees in management offer the added advantage of immediate use -- a working business management student may apply his new knowledge on the job the day after he learns it.The goal of any management course is to develop business competencies such as accounting, business law, economics, management, and marketing-essentially, to gain competency in the administration of human and physical resources and to acquire skills useful to any organization.
Applied Management Degrees
An applied management degree bypasses any extra coursework that doesn't directly relate to the management function. It has a more intense, career-specific focus and is appropriate for those who already hold a degree or professional credentials and need to enhance their knowledge in order to move into management positions. It says to your organization that you are committed to fulfilling the official duties of managing projects, finances and people. If you're not already working at a management level, it shows that your goal is to get there; if you are a manager, it shows that you want to be the best you can be at your position by adding to the skills that got you there in the first place.
At the bachelor's level, an applied management degree offers courses in the key functional areas of management, so that you can advance into supervisory positions. The degree focuses on managing the complex interactions between different management topics when defining and solving real-world business problems. A Bachelor of Science in Applied Management can often be completed in two years or less.
Organizational Management Degrees
Organizational management is another popular management specialization, dedicated to fostering new ways of leading and working with organizational change and transitions. Organizational management students learn about virtual work teams and work design, as well as employee and team development within corporations, profit and nonprofit agencies, education and government. In this field, you can often choose a subspecialty like information technology or human resources.
What Can You Do With a College Degree in Management?
A management degree can be applied to virtually every industry and organization, and each one will have its own "wish list" for potential employees. Deciding on a career in management starts with selecting your area of specialization, and then obtaining whatever education, credentials and experience are necessary within that field.
General and operations managers oversee the operations of all kinds of companies. Their duties can include supervising daily operations, formulating company policy, and managing the use of materials and human resources. In some organizations, these managers' jobs may overlap with the duties of CEOs.
A management analyst or consultant is often hired on a contract basis by organizations which are experiencing major changes in operations. For example, if a company undergoes rapid growth, a merger, or downsizing, they can benefit by having an outside expert come in to work with the current management team.
A management consultant analyzes the status of an organization, examines their goals and resources, and then devises and presents solutions to any outstanding problems. They may also be asked to help implement any changes, such as staff layoffs and restructuring programs. Attention to detail, understanding of sound business practices, tact and compassion, presentation skills, good judgment, time management skills and creativity can be put to good use in this career.
Since management consultants often work with minimal supervision, they need to be self-motivated and disciplined. About 33% of management analysts work alone, while others are employed by large international organizations, in computer and data processing firms, and for all levels of government. Their efforts are particularly useful to organizations that are conducting international business.
Project managers in computer and information technology compile requirements, budgets, and schedules for their company's IT projects. They manage projects from beginning to end, working with internal and external clients, consultants, vendors, and computer specialists. Strong technical knowledge is essential for computer and information systems managers, who must understand and guide subordinates, yet also explain details in non-technical terms to senior management and potential customers.
Strong growth is expected in this type of management position due to constant developments in information technology and the growth of electronic commerce. Traditional companies hire analysts to design intranets or company Web sites, or establish online businesses. The volatility of the computer and data processing services industry forces the most successful management analysts to have knowledge of traditional business practices as well as software applications, system integration, and web site management skills. Earnings for computer and information systems managers vary by specialty and level of responsibility.
Management Certification and Licensure
Because management degrees cover such a broad range of interest areas, there is no single certification or license required after obtaining your management degree.
An example of a function-specific credential is the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation bestowed to members of the Institute of Management Consultants USA. To apply you need at least five years' experience in the consulting field and a bachelor's degree. The CMC certification is internationally bestowed and recognized by any of the 35 national institutes that are members of ICMCI (International Council of Management Consulting Institutes).
The Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) confers the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) designation upon applicants in the accounting field who complete a bachelor's degree or attain a minimum score on specified graduate school entrance exams.

The pianist Lang Lang, who has been heralded as the "hottest artist on the classical music planet" by the New York Times, has played sold out concerts in every major city in the world and is the first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic and the leading US-american orchestras. Resulting from his great success, renowned Time Magazine has included Lang Lang in the "Time 100", the magazine's annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2008, more than four billion people around the world watched Lang Lang perform at the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where he represented the youth of China and its future.
Lang Lang started playing the piano aged three. He won the Shenyang Competition and gave his first public recital by the time he was five and entered Beijing's Central Music Conservatory aged nine. At age 13, he played the complete Chopin Etudes at the Beijing Concert Hall and won first prize at the Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians' Competition. He left for the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia and had his break through aged 17 when he was called to make a dramatic last-minute substitution for the famous Andre Watts to perform in the "Gala Of The Century", playing the first piano concerto by Tchaikovsky with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Christoph Eschenbach. It made him what journalists like to call an "overnight star" and the world's finest concert halls quickly beckoned.
Since then, Lang Lang has formed enduring musical partnerships with the world's greatest artists, among them conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Gustavo Dudamel, Sir Simon Rattle, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Christoph Eschenbach. Moreover, he constantly aims for exchange with non-classical musicians – examples for these collaborations include his performances at the GRAMMY Awards with Metallica and Pharrell Williams as well as with jazz titan Herbie Hancock, that were watched by millions on the TV screens. For his CD- and DVD-recordings, Lang Lang has been awarded multiple prizes, including eight ECHO Klassik awards in Germany alone, most recently for his recording of Mozart's piano concertos with Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the Vienna Philharmonic.

How To Fix the experience—then the "fish"
December 16, 2009 § Leave a comment
Imagine you went out to dinner.
And the wine was just superb; the bread roll with the exact crunch molecules and texture; and the service so impeccable and knowledgeable that you can't remember when you had service so good.
Oh and yeah, the fish you ordered for the main was a bit too salty.
What would you remember from this experience?
Most of us would react in exactly the same way. We remember the salty fish. And not surprisingly the business owner or the employees are trying to fix the "salty fish".
Don't fix the problem. Fix the experience.
As I sat down to eat a meal at "Two Fat Indians" in Christchurch, my meal was a bit late. And out of the blue, a set of starters was placed in front of me.
I protested, of course, as I hadn't ordered the starters. I was assured they were complimentary. It had been twenty minutes since I ordered my meal (they were counting on their computer system, not me), and though the meal was just a few minutes away, they offered me a set of starters absolutely free.
They fixed the experience. And the problem.
Most businesses do the wrong thing. When a customer mumbles and grumbles, they try to fix the problem. They see your fish is too salty. They offer to get the chef to cook you another fish with less salt.
Or lets say your hotel room was too noisy. They give you another hotel room on the same floor, or a different floor. Or maybe your website system fails and the client doesn't get the download you promised. Well that's easily fixed by sending the client the download, right?
No. No. No. And no.
Yes you need to fix the problem, but first you need to fix the experience. The experience I had at Two Fat Indians stood out, not because I can remember what I ate two years ago. It stood out because they fixed the experience.
By the very same token the experience I had at "Pacifica" (on Napier's Marine Parade) will stick in my memory like a hornet's nest. Because Pacifica refused to fix the experience, insisting they'd listened to my feedback and done their best to fix the problem.
Correct. They had done just that. They did everything they could to fix the problem. And they completely missed out on fixing the experience.
Ironically, crappy businesses don't need to fix the experience
When you run into a shoddy business, you get products or services that are full of holes. You rarely expect any kind of experience from crappy businesses. It's when you're dealing with the absolute "Rolex" of businesses like Pacifica or Two Fat Indians that your expectation increases exponentially. And what is expectation but the 'experience?'
You can't ever fix the problem
Let me give you an example. Last week a client wrote to us saying she hadn't received some course materials we'd sent out. To our defence, we'd already sent out the material. We'd done our 'job.' And yes, we'd pop another batch of materials in the mail, and yes, that would be that, right?
It's like a Humpty-Dumpty moment.
You've somehow dropped the ball. Whether you're writing a book, selling a sofa, sending out course materials or serving Monk fish as a main meal, you're going to get someone upset. And all the 'kings horses and all the kings men' can't fix that Humpty Dumpty moment. You can try to fix the problem the best you can, but hey that's part of your job.
That's what the customer paid for. You're not doing them a favour when you fix the problem. But you are doing them a favour when you fix the experience. And so it's the experience you must focus on—and not the problem.
To sum up: How do you fix the experience?
Step 1: You recognise the problem; you apologise and you fix the problem.
Step 2: You then fix the experience.
So Step 1 is really easy. Or should be. You recognise the problem. You fix it. And top notch businesses usually do this. They don't waffle, they don't shuffle. They instantly spring to action by apologizing (often profusely) and then they seek to fix the problem.
Step 2 is where things fall apart. And the way to fix the experience is to give the customer something that's not related to the problem at all. It should be something of an add on.
If the course materials get lost in the mail, apologise, and then give the client a free consulting session (at your cost). If your keynote presentation offended some people with an off-colour remark, then apologise and then send them a box of chocolates. If the fish is too salty, try to fix the fish at first, but if the client persists on eating it (which I did), then go ahead and fix the experience. Be warm and gracious and give the client a free coffee, or a warm, chocolate dessert.
This article may read as if it's about how to handle feedback.
It's not about feedback.
Most of us bust our guts out to provide an outstanding experience to our clients. But the Humpty Dumpty moment still shows up, no matter what. And our natural response is to get defensive. To justify our actions. To fix the problem. But the client wants more than just for you to fix the problem.
But you know better.
You've got to fix the experience. Then fix the "fish".

Our Alana House work in West Berkshire is changing. From the end of May 2018 we will no longer be delivering our vulnerable women's service funded through Public Health. This service will instead be run by Berkshire Women's Aid (BWA) from Friday 1 June and will continue to be available to any vulnerable women, not just those experiencing domestic abuse. We are working closely with Public Health and BWA to ensure a smooth transition, particularly for those women being supported by this service.
Alana House will continue to work in West Berkshire through its Building Better Opportunities project, which is funded by the Lottery and the European Social Fund. The focus of the Building Family Bridges programme, which we offer throughout the Thames Valley, is to work with women who would like to secure employment or engage in training or education. We will continue to support women with additional needs as we support them into employment, however will no longer be able to work with women in West Berkshire who are currently employed or are ineligible to work, or who are in crisis or who have complex (three or more) needs, as they will need to be referred to BWA.
For more information about Alana House, including contact details and referral forms, please see www.alanahouse.org

In a joint R&D project with NEC Laboratories in Heidelberg, leafengine is developed as a distributed middleware layer that allows for the development of more intelligent digital signage solutions. It connects the vast array of sensors available today through a standardised interface and lets users build them into whatever digital signage applications they want."New smart signage uses sensors to drive interactive, personalised content based on what the sensors detect. This could be audience measurement, combined with touch screens, proximity sensors, NFC or QR readers. Encoding all the different manufacturers' sensors and changing priorities can be time consuming and inflexible," said Thorsten Wilm, Manager Software Solutions and Future Technologies at NEC Display Solutions Europe."NEC's leafengine is a middleware designed to drastically simplify the high complexity associated with programming and maintaining sensor-driven, context-aware signage. Once enabled, it allows end users to modify what happens with content based on a possible mix of sensors, giving the ability to maximise the benefits and sensor-backed audience accountability. It provides real-time interaction with minimal resource consumption and is designed to run next to the player software, making the whole process as simple as possible – and digital signage context-aware."Leafengine can help users deliver on a range of intelligent digital signage solutions, including interactive trailers, audience measurement, interactive shopper support, loyalty systems and data mapping.The software itself is a small Java-based application that can run in a Windows or a Linux environment. Management of the application and the connected sensors is done via an online portal as well as through an intuitive web page graphical user interface or an HTTP REST API.

Cliff Lede
Poetry in a Bottle
Elegant... brilliant color.... lush and velvety.... fine cherry and red berry flavors... soft tannins.... Those notes capture Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stags Leap AVA. In the summer, these jagged, southwest-facing hills, stretching from the northeastern Napa City limits to the outer edge of Yountville, are toasted by the hot afternoon sun but cooled by the nighttime fog that rolls in off the San Pablo Bay. This climate along with well-drained alluvial and volcanic soils are the reason why Stags Leap wineries focus almost exclusively on Cabernet – the district works magic with the Bordeaux varietals. Purchasing vineyards and a winery near Yountville in 2002 makes Cliff Lede (pronounced Lay-dee) a newcomer to the Napa Valley, yet he grasped instinctively that his estate's raison d'etre was to make transcendent Cabernet. With his vineyard manager, David Abreu, he has revived or replanted the vineyards and divided them into blocks according to varietal as well as subtle shifts in soil type, clonal or rootstock selection. The 60-acre estate comprises two diverse sets of vineyard. On the valley floor, the Twin Peaks Ranch surrounds the winery and contains all five of the major Bordeaux varietals. The Poetry Vineyard – mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and a bit of Cab Franc and Petit Verdot – is situated on the hills that rise up from the opposite side of the Silverado Trail. In the state-of-the-art, gravity-flow winery, grapes are meticulously hand-sorted and the wines may be fermented in egg-shaped cement tanks as well as more traditional stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. More significantly, each vineyard block will be fermented separately, ensuring that the particular qualities of each small patch of soil will have a chance to blossom before the final blend is made. Though many of the choices made in the vineyards and winery are labor intensive and costly, Cliff Lede is willing to make them in order to fashion the sort of wine expected from a part of the Earth as special as Stags Leap.
Wines from this Winery
2017 Cliff Lede Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Cliff Lede's Sauvignon Blanc balances bright flavors with a rich texture and expansive body. The complexity is derived largely from diverse vineyard sources in Rutherford, Calistoga, the Chiles Valley and Southwestern Napa; the advanced age of many of the vines; clonal variation (including some portion of the more aromatic Musqué clone); and, finally, the significant contribution of about 12% Semillon. Like the Bordelais, Cliff Lede adds Semillon in order to balance out the high-toned aromas with structure and weight. Meticulous sorting and careful attention paid to skin contact, fermentation and aging have produced a gorgeous melange of aroma and flavor: citrus, green apple, spring flowers and orange blossoms come together in a mouthful that is rich and fleshy but structured with minerality and fresh acidity.Details
2014 Cliff Lede Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
Cliff Lede's exemplary SLV Cab is the product of two estate vineyards: the Twin Peaks Ranch Vineyard, surrounding the winery, and the Poetry Vineyard on the eastern slopes. The combination of ancient riverbed and rocky, volcanic soils gives the wine awesome depth, complexity and a minerality that's characteristic of Stags Leap and reminiscent of Graves. Because of a dry winter in 2014, the vines responded with an early bud break and harvest. On the other hand, mild temperatures throughout the summer encouraged consistent ripening and fruit with excellent concentration. The result is a rich wine that's inky purple, aromatically alluring, intensely flavored yet elegant and finessed - a "stunner" according to Robert Parker. A wine so rich as this would pair well with steak au poivre, ragout of beef or lamb or braised duck breast.Details
2014 Cliff Lede Poetry Cabernet Sauvignon
"… and the wine is bottled poetry," said Robert Louis Stevenson on a visit to the Napa Valley in the 1880s. The same can be said for Cliff Lede's Cabernet produced from low yielding, old vines growing on a hillside in the Stags Leap District. Overlooking the winery, the Poetry Vineyard boasts a south-west exposure, guaranteeing not only a beautiful view but warm late-afternoon sun. The vineyard is planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon with a couple blocks devoted to Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The well-drained volcanic soil forces vines to focus more energy on seeking moisture deep in the earth than on producing grapes. As a result the berries are small and packed with flavor. Of the 2014, Robert Parker said, "Never the biggest wine made by Cliff Lede, this is an elegant, classic Stags Leap example with finesse allied to beautifully pure power and balance. Deep and rich and possibly, at this stage, less expressive than some of its siblings, it is simply loaded and poised for a brilliant future."Details
