Running your own home business does not have to be very difficult or even involve an office. It can be very rewarding and profitable at home. It just takes a lot of dedication to your work so that you can promote it and become successful. You can run your business more effectively if you follow the tips in this article.
If you run a business out of your home, consider employing members of your family. Having more employees on the books allows you to deduct the cost of their insurance premiums from your taxes. You must be able to account for the actual work they do, and provide a reasonable wage in order to avoid scrutiny from the IRS, however.
Unless you live alone, be considerate of the others in your household. Don't let your work take over common spaces or invade someone else's personal area. Don't treat your roommates or family like employees. Make your needs known, but remember that this space is a home first and an office second.
In order to make a home business successful, your business must be found in the Google search results. Search engine optimization is key in succeeding in today's business world. Many different companies offer tools for search engine optimization, and it is imperative that you employ a few different strategies in order to obtain success.
Your business name should be strong and mean something to you. If your business website is still just an idea, get your domain name registered. Lots of domains are under ten dollars a year, and you need to get yours before others do. While deciding on whether you want a full web site, post a one-page site that provides your business name and contact information.
Put important information about your home business on the first page of your web site. You do not want it to be difficult for potential customers to find what they need to order from you. Talk about why your product is valuable and give a description of the item. Have a way for them to directly connect to your ordering information right from that page.
You need to have your family on board before you open a home-based business. Home businesses take a lot of time and effort to get up and running. Without the support of your family members, your home business is very unlikely to succeed.
It is a good idea to meet with a business lawyer before you incorporate your home business. Home business laws vary state to state. After consulting the lawyer, you'll better understand the applicable laws and ensure you are complying with them. This will help keep you out of trouble with the government.
Make sure your computer is protected. Since it is your main way to do business and make money, you will want to make sure you don't lose it. Keep your data backed up on a separate hard drive and install virus scans and firewalls. This way, you can be fully protected.
A home business can be every bit as rewarding as the dream of a home business, but you have to work a little to make it happen. Keep these home business tips in mind, stay positive and keep growing your business, so that you can expand when you feel your business is ready.

I know I haven't been on here for quite a while, and that's because I've had so many amazing things happening in my life recently! I was the godmother in my cousin's first communion, I scored interviews for two awesome jobs, and I'm starting to prep for graduation in May! I'm SO excited, and the product in this post really reflects that.
I've been eyeing the Unzipped Palette for quite a while now, and just couldn't seem to pull the trigger. What attracted me to it was, strangely, Stila's Kitten eyeshadow. I was on the hunt for a super shiny champagne color, and I was soooo reluctant to pay $20 for Kitten that I looked for it in a palette. This took me to Stila's In The Light palette, but I wasn't crazy about the other colors in it. Lucky for me, LORAC is right next to Stila at ULTA, and I fell in love with the Unzipped Palette. We flirted for a few months before I decided to take our relationship to the next level. We met at Sephora and decided to commit.
In a beauty world that is overflowing with "nude" themed makeup (thanks, UD), it can be hard to distinguish one neutral palette from the others. LORAC's Unzipped palette is very distinctively warm-toned, and most of the eyeshadows have a pink/red base color. The lighter shades are pink champagnes, rose golds, and rosy taupes, while the darker colors are light and dark burgundies. The only two shades that are not burgundy (but still warm toned) are Uncensored and Unspoken.

Uncensored is another interesting color. Here, it looks brown and cool, but IRL it's a warmer metallic bronze. It's a bit like Maybelline's Bad to the Bronze Color Tattoo (of which I am not a fan), but warmer and much, much nicer.

Michigan Hockey 16-17, Game #22: Michigan 3, Michigan State 2 (Shootout)
(James Coller) THIS GUY!
FIRST: Michigan started pretty well getting into the attacking zone and drawing a penalty about four minutes into the game. They got into the the lower slot and crease a few different times but were not able to convert on those opportunities. The goal came from De Jong from the point via a screen by Adam Winborg. It was also just after their power play chance had expired. That was about it, though. They ended up with 5 even strength attempts. That's not too good.
SECOND: Michigan's 5v5 offense created their second goal of the night. Evan Allen won a bottle along the boards and worked a couple passes with Piazza at the point, who slid over to shoot from nearer the center of the blue line. Kile got a great screen and tipped the puck as it went by to give M a 2-1 lead. The goal was reviewed for interference but Kile did not make enough contact with Minney and looked to be just out of the crease. Kile also rode in on a 2v0 with Shuart, elected to shoot, and Minney denied him. Michigan ended up with 14 even strength attempts at the net, including 3-4 from 'home plate.' Better, I suppose.
- THIRD/OT: Michigan generated 14 attempts in the third and 2 more in OT. That's...ok. Only four came from 'home plate.' Most of the attempts were from odd angles or from distance. So, unfortunately, still not great offense. Lockwood got in pretty close once but not much else overly threatening. Their best looks came from the man advantage and they were not finished.
FIRST: Michigan's defense was typical. The goal they gave up was losing a 1v1 battled on the boards followed by Luce getting beat by Pavelek in front of the net to get an uncontested shot off past Nagelvoort. It was similar to last night's goals. Michigan also surrendered 20 even strength attempts on net. Nine of those came from inside 'home plate.' Different night, same issues.
SECOND: Michigan gave up 15 attempts at their net, 7 of which came from 'home plate.' Four of those came from just outside the crease, though. They did not give up a goal in a full period for the first time since the GLI (I think). So, that's a good thing. Most of that was due to Nagelvoort, though. Small steps, I guess.
- THIRD/OT: Nagelvoort faced three shots (one of them being 50/50 illegal) and saved the definite two shots. MSU got five (three more in OT) even strength attempts in the third. That's very good! Possibly M's best defensive period of the year? The one thing (because there is always a thing) was that on the goal -which was on the PP but this relates to defense- there were two attackers behind the last defenseman. One of them hit the puck near the crossbar past Nagelvoort. Even on the powerplay...still unmarked dudes in the crease.
FIRST: Michigan drew one penalty in and nearly cashed in on it. They were able to score about 4 seconds after the penalty expired, so technically it was not a PPG, but it was also before the defense could be reset with their equalizing player. So, not a power play goal...but kinda still a power play goal. Dancs took a tripping penalty towards the end of the first that will carry over to the second. MSU created a couple a good looks but no conversion, yet.
SECOND: Michigan did not draw a penalty in the second period. They did take two, however, and killed them both off. Nagelvoort played a large role in one of those. He's looking fantastic.
THIRD: Michigan drew two penalties in the third period. Dancs had a great cross-crease pass that was just out of Kile's reach. Kile had a wide open net. That was about it for power play good looks. Cooper Marody took a terrible penalty behind the Spartan net that ultimately led to MSU's tying goal. The goal was flipped in the high slot and hit a Spartan stick up near the crossbar. It looked to about even with the crossbar and the goal was uphelf after a review. Nagelvoort had zero chance. The issue is that the penalty taken was not even close to necessary and there is a great chance this game does not reach OT without it.
- OT: M took a penalty, but it was an intelligent one. They killed it with a couple nice saves from Nagelvoort.
FIRST: Zach Nagelvoort started in goal, and he looked very good, including making a couple of great saves. State created a great opportunity with two dynamic cross-ice passes that got an attacker alone in the lower slot. Nagelvoort was up to the challenge. He also made a couple very good stops on MSU's power play. He ended up with eight saves. The goal was on the defense, as Luce lost his man in front of the crease.
SECOND: Another top notch period for Nagelvoort in net. Zach was everywhere. There was one stretch early on where he must have made about 4-5 saves in about 10-15 seconds...and from close range, too. He also held his posts well and denied a couple more opportunities, there. Nagelvoort also was ready for a very bad DZTO at the blue line and stopped another Spartan snipe. He's been in great position all night. Up to 21 saves, so far.
THIRD: Nagelvoort didn't have much to do in the third. He stopped two of the three shots that he saw. He had no chance on the goal, as it was deflected about a few feet in front of him and was 50/50 hit with a high stick. Fantastic night for Zach. Its really crazy how well all three goalies are playing.
- OT/SO: NOPE. Nothing. Stopped three more shots...then three more in the shootout. Good stuff, Zach.
FIRST: Michigan State has two 3v2s. The first was non-threatening with the puck not getting near Nagelvoort via a deflection. The second freed a shooter just inside Nagelvoort's left faceoff dot. Zach was able to deny the opportunity.
SECOND: I had zero OMRs in the second period.
THIRD: No OMRS.
- OT: An almost 2v1 but Boka took the 2nd guy down (with no call), so it became a 1v1. De Jong then took him down and was called for a penalty that Michgan killed.
I had: Michigan State 42, Michigan 36
www.collegehockeynews.com had: Michigan State 44, Michigan 36

Sanjay Dutt, who is at present shooting for his comeback film Bhoomi, is making sure that his film does not suffer any delays because of him, and that is why, despite being injured, the actor continued to shoot for the film. The 57-year-old was shooting for an action sequence for the climax during which he got hurt.
A source close to Sanjay's team told indianexpress.com, "Sanjay sir was shooting for an action sequence. Basically, we are heading for a climax scene which will be shot in the different locations. We were in Chambal for this particular sequence. So, Sanjay sir is fighting some goons who are punching him and he falls. But as soon as he fell on the ground, he felt a pain in his ribs. Though at that moment he took a painkiller and continued to shoot, by the night the pain got unbearable for him and we had to take him to the hospital."
He continued, "The doctor recommended us to take get an X-ray done. Post X-ray, we found out that Sanjay sir has a hairline fracture. Though the doctor told him to rest for a while, Sanjay sir wanted to continue the shoot as he did not want to delay the film in any manner." Sanjay is shooting back-to-back action sequences for the climax of Bhoomi. The team, for now, has shot for another action sequence at Dhobi Ghat, Mumbai and soon will be heading to another place for the shoot.
Producer Bhushan Kumar added, "We really appreciate that Sanjay has been shooting non-stop despite the excruciating pain that he must be in. He is truly a phenomenal person and actor."

Bhoomi is based on the story of a father-daughter duo. While Sanjay plays the father, Aditi Rao Hydari will be playing the role of his daughter. The film has been directed by Omung Kumar, whose last outing Sarbjit received a lot of critical appreciation.

In limbo: Here's what happened with TAM and David Ousted's contract
Remember last week when goalkeeper David Ousted reminded us how confusing, sometimes downright frustrating, Major League Soccer contract rules can be?
So ridiculous, you may feel like kicking a garbage can across the floor?
Well, buckle up. We can explain.
The former Whitecaps' goalie, you'll recall, tweeted with great frustration last Friday about how his contract option was preventing teams from trading for him.
In those tweets, he left some clues. He mentioned TAM — targeted allocation money, which teams can use to reduce players' salaries that might otherwise make them designated players — and he mentioned his option year. He said three teams had tried to pick him up but the league said "no."
It led to speculation that Ousted's contract option would have put him over the designated-player threshold.
Turns out, we were right. His option year is over $600,000. Next year's DP threshold will be a hair over $500,000. Yes, Ousted has landed in MLS contract purgatory.
If a team wanted to pick up the Danish keeper, they would have to sign him on his option-year salary, meaning they would also have to use a designated-player spot on him. It seems the three teams in question were willing to pick up his option, but then wanted to apply TAM to his contract so he would no longer be considered a designated player.
The problem lies in when TAM can be applied: It's either used when the player is signed to a new contract, like the Whitecaps have done in the past with Yordy Reyna and Cristian Techera, or when the team is signing a new designated player and needs to clear a spot already being used. (Every team gets three DP spots.)
The L.A. Galaxy, for example, already have three DPs: the Dos Santos brothers and Romain Alessandrini. Since Ousted's contract isn't a new one — the option simply counts as a continuation of his current one — the first option wasn't available.
And because the Galaxy already have three DP contracts, option No. 2 prevented Ousted from being signed at all, because his contract wasn't new.
The other reason they couldn't have used the second option: all three are on multimillion-dollar contracts, so there's basically no chance they could have had enough TAM to buy down their contracts anyway.
And so here's Ousted, in limbo just over a month before 2018 MLS training camps open.
The somewhat good news for Ousted: If he goes unclaimed in the MLS re-entry draft, he'll be a free agent and can sign with any team, though presumably for a reduced wage.
Or maybe he ends up in Europe — but would he find a suitor in the January transfer window? He wants to start, but not many clubs are looking for a new first-choice keeper during Europe's mid-season.
Lovely times.

Q: My dog trainer swears by deer antlers for exercising my dog's teeth and gums, and my Viszla, Mischa, loves them! Unfortunately, my veterinarian says they're terrible for her teeth. How can this be true?
A: If there's anything that galls my clients, it's being told they could have prevented a painful and expensive condition … if only they'd been told to stay away from a, b or c hazard. Such is the case when it comes to the use of common chews and devices designed for dental cleaning or as an outlet for natural chewing behaviors in dogs –– including deer antlers.
Yet when I inform my dog-owning clients that certain "dental health" products can lead to serious problems, many can't easily accept the notion that dental fractures, gastrointestinal obstruction and gastroenteritis (among other problems) are a possible outcome. After all, they say, how could anything sold expressly to help improve our pets' dental health and behavior so adversely affect them?
Yet it's true. Some of the most commonly marketed "oral health improvement" items are considered unsafe, unwholesome, and/or downright unhelpful by board-certified veterinary dentists (and plenty of run-of-the-mill vets like me, too).
Most dogs won't experience any safety issues with the goods veterinary dentists suggest we avoid. But the old adage holds here: An ounce of prevention is absolutely worth a pound of cure.
Which is why I completely agree with your veterinarian: Skip the antlers. As with cooked bones, cow hooves and hard chew toys, deer antlers offer serious potential hazards. I've seen way too many painful dental fractures (most of which require tooth extraction or root canals) and not enough benefits to recommend them, behavioral or otherwise. And given the fact that there are so many safe and effective alternatives to choose from, it seems silly to insist on feeding anything potentially dangerous.
Not sure what your veterinarian considers safe and effective? Head over to VOHC.org, a website run by the Veterinary Oral Health Council. Here you'll find a list of vet-approved chews and oral health products (including Greenies, CET-brand chews and others).
But be advised: These products are all well and good but nothing beats brushing for basic oral health. And when it comes to exercising that chew drive, consider that any chew toy your dog can sink his teeth into will work way better than any antler.

Colin Gleghorn - Director at Fourmative said 'I am personally delighted to achieve the qualification as an ATA Assessor for Customer Service.

Instant Feedback – New Website Launch - 02/09/2014"The Customers view may just be their opinion, but ALL customer opinions are important"
Traditional Feedback systems such as Revoo, Feefo and Trip Advisor encourage the customer to leave feedback about a specific service experience they have received. Customer Feedback is critical to any business and the customer's views are always right!
The challenge that all of these systems have is sample size with many receiving feedback from a small percentage of the total customers. The solution is Instant Feedback a web based solution created by Fourmative which gains feedback from potentially all of your customers giving you a true measure of your customer's views.
Instant Feedback does much more and is now used by more than 80 of the UK's leading Dealerships helping them to improve customer satisfaction scores and enabling them to retain more customers.
We have now launched a dedicated website for Instant Feedback which helps understand what it is, who it is for and what it costs. Visit www.instant-feedback.co.uk for more details

Stay tuned for further updates and pictures
Fourmative and JCB Dealer Instructors - 19/08/2014July 2014 was the culmination of 6 months work with 11 JCB Dealer Training Instructors graduating in front of their respective Group Directors and Managers.
With a long days end longer evenings each Dealer Group Instructor was video recorded and continually tested to demonstrate their capability in delivering quality training to match the high standards expected of a JCB trainer.
Most Dealer Instructors arrived with little knowledge of training procedures and set about each task with enthusiasm and determination which saw them progress through 3 modules of Preparation, Delivery and Follow-up. Now they're ready to deliver this first dealer-based event, which will be supervised and coached by JCB and Fourmative consultants.
Colin visited CFAO Nigeria in June 2014 - 13/08/2014There was a series of management and operation training for Parts and Service training at the new Lagos showrooms. We used plenty of group discussions and exercises to test the learning objectives.
Using Instant Feedback we combined the highest level of classroom training with measurable output through action plans and scoring matrix.
The feedback was excellent with:
"I have learn how to use Autoline to record stock categories and lost sales, mange margins and increase gross profit"
"Today's training is very beneficial for my everyday tasks"
"Highly recommended for future training of CFAO parts and after-sales Staff"
"Good refresher course"
Fourmative charity work 2013 - 21/11/2013October 2013 saw Fourmative embark on a cross-Europe drive for BEN, the Automotive Charity.
Driving a 13-year old Toyota' the Fourmative Director Colin Gleghorn and RJDM co-driver Richard Hardy started from the Porsche Centre Reading, Berks, we set about the 1200-mile round trip taking in visits to Spa in Belgium, Porsche Museum Stuttgart and the famous Nűrburgring in Germany. Whilst in fancy dress costumes naturally.
Set daily challenges' the teams were tasked to complete before sun set using highways and byways to cover the distance in a short a time as possible' whilst observing the regulatory speed limits.
Fourmative was the only Consultancy & Training organisation reprehensive in the Automotive industry and we're delighted to have been part of this most successful event.
The drive was exhausting but rewarding with the focus on making a positive change to other less fortunate. Collectively more that £10k was raised and we're excited about the 2014 tour.
Fourmative's Double Decker Tour - 14/11/2013Fourmative Limited has recently completed a full tour of the UK. The tour involved 1 Double Decker bus, 16 stops, covering more than 1800 miles.
Close Motor Finance needed a way of launching eClick a new Electronic signature process to their staff and customers and a Double Decker bus equipped with a computer training suite was the ideal choice.
Fourmative Trainers travelled on the bus to each of the companies' branch locations to introduce eClick to the staff and then train dealers on how to use eClick with their customers
The tour commenced at the Close Motor Finance head office in Doncaster, travelled through England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales concluding with a press day in London.
The tour was a fantastic success and the market leading technology was seen to be a great way to help dealers speed up the customer acceptance, reduce the handover lead time and as a result sell more cars.
Fourmative celebrate Birthday with Charity DriveFourmative Limited is celebrating their 20th year in business by taking part in the annual Bangers4BEN charity car rally. This year also sees the 50th anniversary of the legendary Porsche 911and so this year the FOUR-day event will be starting at Porsche's headquarters in Reading on Saturday, 12th October 2013, with the final destination being the Porsche museum in Stuttgart in Germany, before heading home on Tuesday, 15th October 2013.
The task sounds a simple one; however the challenge is to spend less than £500.00 on a car to take part in the 1200 mile trip in just 4 days. Fourmative will be completing the trip in a Toyota Corolla with one of their supplier partners RJDM Studios from Northampton. Their Director is Richard Hardy and he will share the driving and the banter with Colin for the 4 day trip. With up to 40 other cars taking place and supported by the AA the event should raise both awareness and valuable funds for BEN (BEN is the UK's dedicated charity for those who work, or have worked, in the automotive and related industries, as well as their dependants)
Colin Gleghorn Director of Fourmative said "Bangers4BEN is a great way of having fun and at the same time raising money for a very worthy cause, with the help of our clients, customer's family and friends we hope to raise an additional £1,000.00"

Christian Audigier's Business Partner Regis Mijatovic Shot Dead In Alleged Mafia Ambush
Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier, who is currently battling cancer, is dealing with the loss of his former business partner, Regis Mijatovic, who was tragically gunned down and murdered in the French Riviera in an alleged Mafia hit.
Regis Mijatovic, 45, Christian Audigier's former business partner, was gunned down and shot dead in an alleged Mafia ambush while dining at a seafood restaurant near Cros de Cagnes, near Nice, in the French Riviera. Regis was dining with Giovanni Tagliamento, an ex-Mafia boss, when the ambush took place after 10PM on June 8. Giovanni was also shot in the attack.
An onlooker described the horrific course of events to the Daily Mail. "The restaurant was packed and people were enjoying a quiet dinner," she said. "We heard the roar of a motorbike, but that's fairly normal round here. Then around ten blasts rang out and people started screaming. Glasses were smashed, tables were uplifted and a crowd of people ran into the road. I got up to see what the commotion was and saw a load of people gathered around a man who covered in blood. We didn't see anyone pointing a gun and we didn't see who did it. Just the aftermath. It was a horrendous scene."
The woman's husband, an ex-banker who has an apartment in Cros de Cagnes, said Regis was well known. "He always wore bright, loud clothes and had a lot of tattoos. People knew who he was," he said. "He had his fingers in a lot of pies. You would often see him driving along the front in nice cars – I think he had a Ferrari."
Guests at the restaurant screamed in horror as the shots rang out. "I never met him personally but am aware that he mixed in certain shadowy circles," he continued. "You think you're safe on holiday enjoying nice food and wine then something like this happens. We could easily have been caught in cross fire. You wouldn't think this is a dangerous place to be but there is a lot of money here and you often see or hear of Italian and Russian mafia mobsters in the area."
The gunman took off on his motorcycle, escaping from the scene before the police arrived.
Regis, who was declared dead at the scene, has been linked to organized crime. He was jailed for five years for drug conspiracy in southern France and in 2000 he was deported from the US.
Christian, 54, was diagnosed with MDS in January 2015. He received chemotherapy for the form of cancer and a bone marrow transplant in March 2015. The designer is just devastated by the news. "They were good friends. Regis created a new range of merchandise, bringing out the Ed Hardy brand of energy drinks and lighters and was a successful businessman," a source close to the designer told the Daily Mail. "Christian is obviously facing a huge personal battle at the minute and this is news that has deeply saddened him."

My name is Laura and I'm interning through ISM in January 2015!
I grew up in North Vancouver, Canada and I didn't grow up in a christian home. I first met God when I was 8 years old when I went to a summer camp that happened to be christian and met JC for the first time. I continued to attend the camp and learn about God throughout my childhood. As I got older became involved in their ministry and have been on staff the past few years.
Since September I have been doing an internship program with a christian-humanitarian organization in Hawaii and have been serving the community, receiving teachings, working with children, learning about missions, and much more. Being in Hawaii I've realized my passion for international missions and want to pursue it with impact school of missions. I'll be going to Kolkata, India and serving At the Well's ministry for 2 months. I'm eager to be pushed and stretched by God these next few months in Thailand and India and am stoked to be helping with children at At the Well in the new year!

At the end of last month NHS England published an STP "dashboard". According to their announcement, this should give "an initial baseline assessment of the new sustainability and transformation partnership areas – set up across the country to improve care through collaboration between services." It is a prototype "progress dashboard – which will continue to evolve – indicates the starting point from which STPs will drive improvements in care". The full data is available on the NHS England web site: www.england.nhs.uk/stpdashboard
The rating is driven by indicators in three broad areas: hospital performance, patient-focused change, and transformation. These are measured in nine domains: emergency care; elective care; safety; general practice; mental health; cancer; prevention; finance and system leadership. It will be interesting to examine these against the responses we get from STP leaders following our exercise to contact them all earlier this year about their plans for neurology services.
It was also confirmed that there will be local capital investment schemes in 15 areas of the country, with the largest sums being used for urgent care in Dorset, surgery in Greater Manchester and cancer care in Cumbria. According to NHS England, this initial funding has been targeted at the "strongest and most advanced plans put forward by local health and social care leaders."

Man indicted for attempted murder in connection to stabbing attack of ex-girlfriend
DAYTON, Ohio (WKEF/WRGT) - A Fairfield man was indicted Thursday for attempted murder in connection with the stabbing attack of his ex-girlfriend in Trotwood.
Police said 26-year-old Jordan Hardy drove from his home in Butler County September 19 to his ex-girlfriend's apartment. He reportedly broke out a window to get inside and went to where the girl was hiding before repeatedly stabbing her with a knife.
When the victim's roommate heard what was going on, that person wrestled the knife away from Hardy before attacking him, according to police. All three people involved were taken to the hospital for treatment.
The Montgomery County Grand Jury indicted Hardy for attempt to commit murder, two counts of felonious assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of felonious assault with intent to cause serious hard and four counts of aggravated burglary.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest once he's released from the hospital, and Hardy is set to be arraigned October 26.

Do you know your PBX from your VPL's? FTTC from a LLU? The world of telecommunications can be complicated. With numerous products, services and solutions available to businesses, it can be tough to understand what is available in a fast-changing market. Throw a load of technical terminology and jargon into the mix and the job of getting to grips with telecommunications becomes almost impossible.
As a buyer, it's more important than ever that you have the inside track on emerging trends and the terms you need to know about in 2016.
› PBX & Hosted
What you need to know: PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange. It's a private telephone network, used by a company or organisation to make calls and control how they flow into the building. Traditionally a PBX would be held in a rack or on the wall at the company's premises and then is connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network (more commonly known as the PSTN) via ISDN lines. This allows calls from outside to reach the PBX and onwards to the right person or team. Many PBXs are now IP-enabled, which allows businesses to replace expensive ISDN lines with next generation technology, SIP trunking (see 2.). More often than not, it is down to the company themselves to manage and maintain the PBX, which can be costly.
Hosted telephony, on the other hand, is cloud based. This really just means that the brain of the system resides in a datacentre off site and the only hardware the company needs in its offices is the handsets themselves. Calls are then made using a data connection – which could be a broadband line, ethernet or similar – removing the requirement for ISDN altogether. Because of this, the addition, removal and repair of services is a simple, quick and pain-free process. There are many benefits available to businesses considering hosted and any organisation with a growth agenda would be wise to talk to their comms provider about it.
Check this out: The Buyer's Guide to Hosted Phone Systems
What you need to know: If you have made an investment in a PBX in the last five years then there's a good chance it's enabled for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) trunking. Most companies still have ISDN in place to carry voice traffic from the PSTN to their PBX and vice-versa, but ISDN as a technology is fast becoming outdated. It is by its nature inflexible, expensive and difficult to work with. Indeed many experts predict the demise of ISDN by 2020, and BT has announced it will turn its ISDN network off in 2025. The long-term replacement for ISDN is SIP trunking.
SIP connects voice traffic from and to a national network, either via broadband, ethernet or a private circuit. SIP trunking is a high quality, resilient and, perhaps most importantly, significantly cheaper alternative to ISDN.
Check this out: What is SIP trunking and how will it benefit your business?
› QoS
What you need to know: Many businesses take broadband and data services from one provider and voice from another. If you are using SIP trunking or a hosted phone system for your business communications then the consequence of this is not just double the administration, double the bills and double the hassle. You might also find that you have voice quality issues too. This is because your calls are routing across the open internet.
However, if your data and voice provider are the same then it's possible for your provider to tag those voice calls and give them priority over other traffic. This is called Quality of Service (QoS).
The network will protect those calls and they'll never touch the public internet. The result is higher quality calls and improved customer service delivery.
Be aware though, not all providers have the capability to do this so make sure you ask the question.

› Ethernet
What you need to know: Many of you will be familiar with the term 'ethernet' and will think of the cables that you use at work or at home to connect devices to a network. In data terms however, the proposition is slightly different. Ethernet is a dedicated data line that gives your business access to the internet. It's the best way to guarantee reliability and speed of connection. Unlike broadband, ethernet comes with service level agreements and guaranteed speeds and uptime.
Check this out: Broadband vs Ethernet: The Business Buyer's Guide
What you need to know: FTTC stands for Fibre to the Cabinet. It's a super-fast connection that businesses looking to prioritise speed over reliability and voice quality can consider. It also has the added benefit of being available for a price that is more akin to standard broadband.
FTTC does have a slight drawback, however. It is, at present, primarily a residential or domestic service. So some businesses (particularly those on trading or office estates) may be unable to take advantage.

2016 promises to be a time of great opportunity for businesses looking to get the most out of their telecommunications. But knowing what is being sold and the right solution for you is key to success in a constantly evolving telecommunications marketplace.

Lots of folks are endlessly searching for the perfect hobby. If you are in search of interesting yet fun things to do, look no further because the answers can be found right here. This article gives some great tips on hobbies that are interesting and that your family will also enjoy.
Anxiety from work is easier to relieve if you have a hobby at home that you enjoy. Remember that you do not have to pursue your hobby as a business. It is actually better to keep it separate.
Network with others who share similar interests as you. It is not necessary for everyone to like the same thing. Why bore your family members and friends with your hobby when there are lots of other people who share your interest? There are both offline and online hobby groups you can join to find out more about different hobbies.
Give fishing a try if relaxation is a priority. Just find a fishing spot and some supplies. Make sure you have the permit you need to fish in that spot. Fishing can get you a little peace from the day.
You no longer have to invest a large amount of money to make photography your hobby. You can begin immediately if you own a camera and a tripod. It doesn't require a lot of skill to take amazing pictures and with the help of some additional reading you can get even better.
You may find browsing through garage sales an interesting hobby to have. There are many excellent items available at these sales. From china to art to kitchen supplies and electronics, many items to be found are unique, valuable and worth having. Part of the fun is unearthing a treasure after the thrill of the chase.
Avoid letting hobbies dictate your life. It's good to enjoy a hobby, but you have to be sure you're tending to your life as well. If your hobby starts getting in the way of responsibilities, it may be necessary to pare down.
Maintain multiple hobbies. You probably want to be a diverse person, and that's why you should get a variety of different hobbies. There may be an advantage to choosing a hobby that can be enjoyed any time of the day or year.
Sculpting may be a relaxation hobby that appeals to you. Nothing surpasses the feeling of clay between your hands and creating something ordinary or extraordinary depending on the depth of your talents. Try it as a pair! Get in a class to learn the fundamentals, and think of taking a friend along.
Try riding your bike outside. Hobbyist riders find new trails to ride throughout the months. By dressing appropriately, you can ride your bike all throughout the year. This is a hobby that can also benefit your health.
Going to rummage, estate and garage sales can be a fun hobby. Estate sales are often full of amazing items. You may decide to look for vintage items, collector objects or anything that strikes your fancy. Part of the fun is unearthing a treasure after the thrill of the chase.
Think about learning photography. That's a simple hobby that your family can enjoy. Let your kids go crazy with the digital camera. You might be surprised to see their skill. Everyone can have a turn with it. Then later on you could all take some time to relax and go over the various pictures that got taken.
Think about collecting something as a hobby if you wish to have an interesting hobby. It is so much easier in today's world to determine value and assess collectibles on the Internet. Check out auctions, classifieds and forums to find items to buy or to sell your items.
Collecting is a fun hobby. You can find lots of information online about the different sorts of collections you may want to consider. Check out online shopping sites, such as eBay, whenever you decide to sell your items and sell them to the person who bids the most.
Cooking Class
If you are an avid reader but hate dealing with book clutter, maybe selling part of your collection would be wise. This will help you increase your living space. In addition, certain stores will give you store credit for purchasing brand new books. Reading is a very enjoyable hobby that relaxes you.
You can enjoy a hobby with your mom too. You can both take a cooking class. You don't have to be good chefs in order to enjoy the class. Use this class to grow closer together. Look online or ask around to find a cooking class in your area.
Be sure a waste paper basket is close at hand while practicing crafting hobbies. By keeping the work area free of clutter and filth, you can stay productive and enjoy the activity more. Your work area is also more safe when it is clean. You could hurt yourself if you don't know where things are.
If you love reading but have collected too many books, take what you don't read anymore to the local secondhand bookstore. You will not only get more space where you live, you can get new books when you build up the store credit for them. This hobby is great for relaxing, and something that anyone can enjoy doing.
Hobbies are something that can reduce your stress levels. If your job is extremely stressful, it's quite possible to burn out after a while. When you are done with a hard day, you can look forward to your hobby. Pick a relaxing hobby you can enjoy.
Remember safety when you are doing your hobby. A lot of the time, when we are having fun, we can forget to make sure that we pay attention to safety issues. You should know all about safety when it comes to your hobby.
Before you do a hobby that's new, you need to get some research done first. Many hobbies require a variety of different skill sets. There are a lot that can make you more creative, active, or they can take up a lot of your time. That is why you need to research all the different hobbies so you know what best fits your lifestyle.
Avoid alcohol when enjoying your hobby. Alcohol can affect both your judgment and your ability to properly perform activities, so it is best to abstain during the times you are involved with your hobby. You will have a more enjoyable time and have better results.
Fitness is an excellent hobby. This hobby can actually include many different activities. You can bike, join a gym or even kayak as your fitness hobby. It could help you go swimming more often as well. Fitness leads to a healthier life.
Consider the different things that a child enjoys when you are trying to find a hobby for a child. If your child likes to dance, you can both take a dance class. If he or she is crazy about trains, there are many train-oriented hobbies.
Practice safety measures while cooking. Be sure to wear properly fitted clothes while cooking to avoid setting yourself on fire. Tie hair back, and wear tight clothes and an apron. Safety comes first when you work in the kitchen.
Think of what you find interesting that you should do as a hobby. If you don't have any hobbies, sit and think for a second about the things you like. For example, if you are an avid movie lover, you can make your own films or start a movie club.
Make sure you have all the necessary supplies for your hobby. If you don't, it might be hard to complete things or work safely on your hobby. Do a little research on the things you'll need, and slowly start collecting the right supplies.
Your talents can be the basis of a new hobby. People who are artistic, for example, can paint birdhouses, wood boxes, and other things. This can generally become good for you because you can make money off of little gifts you make.
Why not consider starting a blog? Many people use blogs these days. While some market products or services, others enjoy a blog as a journal. Use it as a way to relax after you get home. You can make new friends or make a bit of side money.
Design quilts as a hobby. Get your family involved with how the quilt is made. Each member can pick a fabric that expresses themselves. Old clothing, swatches and linens can all be used. When it's time to make the quilt, let each family member sew their piece onto it.
Create a quilt. You can easily get your family involved in it, too. Let them choose fabrics they like from scraps. Scraps can come from your old linens, clothes, or from swatches you found at fabric outlets. When the time comes for assembling the pieces, let family members choose which fabrics they wish to sew into the quilt.
For a truly unique intergenerational experience, parents can hand down a favorite hobby to their kids. Find interesting ways to include your child in your hobbies when they show an interest in what you are doing. Many hobbies can be enjoyed by people of any age, so look for activities your child can enjoy.
You family may enjoy baking as a hobby they can do together. You can bake all kinds of different foods, such as breads, cupcakes, muffins, and more. Your baked items can be made into a meal, allowing you to incorporate more healthy nutrients into your family's meals.
Be careful with your finances when you're working with your hobby. When something is fun, it can be tempting to spend too much. Make a hobby budget and stick to it. Obviously, you love spending money on your hobby, but you must keep in mind your important financial obligations.
Figure out what goes into cake decorating! You will be able to make gorgeous cakes for friends and family. Whether you take classes, or purchase a do it yourself kit, there is a lot of information out there on cake decorating.
Avoid allowing small things from interfering with your hobbies. It's really easy to neglect hobbies. It is very important to commit to your hobbies to give yourself the down time you need. Make sure you enjoy your hobby as often as you can.
If you enjoy it, you should think over making your hobby into what you do for a living. If you are an expert guitar player, give lessons. If you are able to make something, be it music or a picnic bench, you can perform or sell it to others.
Is music something you love? If it is, take up a music instrument like piano, violin, or guitar. When you do this, you can play along with your favorite songs on the radio. Also, you might even be able to start a band. You might even become a superstar.
Exercising is a healthy hobby. All that is necessary is obtaining a gym membership. If you don't want to join a gym, you can simply purchase fitness equipment and use it at your own home. Exercising help you become physically fit. It will help to boost your self image as well.
A hobby could benefit the world or community. There are countless ways that you can use your time to make life better for someone else. You could tutor kids, begin an organic garden for your neighborhood, knit sweaters for disadvantaged people, etc.
Playing an instrument is fun no matter how old you are. Old and young alike can all learn how to play the guitar, piano or other instrument.

As you can see from the above article, there are plenty of hobbies that you can enjoy with your family. All you need to do now is embrace this advice and find a great hobby for you. You can even let your family in on these tips to find a hobby you can all enjoy.
Reading is a great hobby that you should encourage your children to take up. Read to your kids when they're young to make sure they enjoy it later. Great readers learn more easily and generally go further in terms of education.

The National Mountaineering Exhibition that featured an historic collection of Mountaineering artefacts - closed on the 24th December 2007.
The BMC reports that, "The current owners of the exhibition, Westmorland Services Ltd, have tried to find ways of seeking funding so that the exhibition can be made free to visitors. However, it has not proved possible to do this.
The exhibition was opened in 2001 by the Prime Minister of the day, Tony Blair, to a fanfare of positive enthusiasm. At the start, visitor numbers were high. However, there has been a steady downward trend in visitor numbers in recent years."

Chonkinfeckle are really chuffed to be asked back to play at Uke-a-Bay in Colwyn bay. It really is a highlight in our calendar, as we have made so many great friendships over the years, and we just seem to pick up where we left off!
We have had a busy year since we last came to Colwyn bay, a highlight was playing the Lowry Theatre in Salford with BBC Radio Manchester. Sharing the stage with the likes of Russell Watson, Mike Sweeney, Jon Culshaw and Dan Walker.
Two days after the Lowry gig, Les unfortunately suffered a slight stroke, followed by another small stoke at the end of January this year. But like the trooper he is, he is back up and strumming and writing new songs all the time.
Les worked on a new album of Cigar Box Guitar music, called 'Voodoo Stick'. all part of his therapy to get back playing again. He is giving the album away, along with a PDF book, all he asks that you donate a small amount of money to the Stroke Association. You can get the album by emailing Les.
We are looking forward to seeing you all at another fantastic Uke-a-Bay weekend!
Thanks to Andrew Stuart for the photos of last year's Sunday Session.

I'm not sure if I mentioned in my earlier posts that the inspiration to start this blog was greatly supported by my viewing of BookTube videos. Because of this, I have recently launched my own channel which I will use in conjunction with this page in exploring my passion for reading. I have been wanting to do this for a long time, but kept putting it off. I was initially convinced that I needed to learn how to film and edit videos first, as well as how to master the use of social media before I could ever blog or vlog. Is the word vlog still even used? Anyway – I was wasting time on wanting things to be perfect, when really, all I want is to be IN the book world, even if imperfectly. Instead I will be learning as I go so that I don't miss out on any of the fun! So here goes: I will link each new video here in case anyone would like to check them out.
I'm now on BookTube!

With every other left-wing narrative imploding as the facts of the San Bernardino shooting become known, one narrative remains: blaming Rush Limbaugh.
One of the victims of the San Bernardino massacre has been identified as Nicholas Thalasinos, a Messianic Jew who often battled with Muslims via social media.
Another post from October 2013 included a photograph of another man plummeting to his death from the Trade Center. Above it, Thalasinos posted the quote, "'The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer' — Barack Hussein Obama."
Under "Education," Thalasinos listed on Facebook, "Studied Conservatism at Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies."
Desperate to find any rationale for the attacks, other than That Which Must Not Be Named, the fact thatt Thalasinos seems to have argued with the one murderer, Syed Rizwan Farook, over religion just weeks prior to the massacre is sure to cause some in media to label this as purely a workplace dispute that got out of hand.
Among the casualties was Farook's 52-year-old colleague Nicholas Thalasinos, a Messianic Jews who, according to a friend, clashed with Farook over Islam two weeks ago.
This bit of early reporting also suggests Farook may have had at least one specific target, perhaps Thalasinos:
Ca shooting: Feds also theorize that one gunman was at the event earlier in the day to make sure a specific target was there, then returned
— Rick Serrano (@RickSerranoLAT) December 3, 2015
Along with that, Thalasinos is guilty of thoughtcrime in the eyes of the Left–since, as noted above, he was apparently a fan of Rush Limbaugh.
Under "Education," Thalasinos listed on Facebook, "Studied Conservatism at Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies."
While the left is certain to go on about their gun-grabbing ways for some time, it's safe to say they will eventually get around to connecting the dots between Nicholas Thalasinos and Rush Limbaugh.
Then, just as they have in the past, they'll try to blame Limbaugh for the actions of at least two radicalized Muslims who amassed an arsenal of 5,000 bullets and a dozen pipe bombs on the way to slaughtering 14 innocents and injuring many more.
But then, who wants to hold them or their radical ideology to account for the massacre, when you have Rush Limbaugh and the 2nd Amendment to try to blame?

PENSACOLA, Fla. — There's a lull every year at the Milton KOA campground between Labor Day and the beginning of October, when the "snowbirds" make their way down south.
But Hurricane Irma filled that void this September.
A campground with a capacity of 150 sites was actually closer to 200 by the weekend of Sept. 9-10.
"Almost every piece of real estate I could fit a unit on had a unit on it," said campground co-manager Mike Bingen.

Lately, my youngest son has been really interested in bugs and strange creatures — particularly bugs and strange creatures that have a lethal or poisonous bent to them. He's been watching documentaries like, Colossal Squid, Microcosmos and Nature's Deadliest. I've been enjoying watching along with him, particularly Microcosmos as it documents the lives of tiny bugs and flowers and their miniature world. Unfortunately, this documentary has a bit too many reproductive scenes for the pure eyes of my little seven-year-old, so we just say that the bugs are "battling." For now, he's buying it.
So, when we found this wasp nest in our front yard, my son was super excited, and it gave me the chance to snap a few macro shots. These nests completely amaze me — how everything is so uniform and how these little bugs create a home out of nothing but wood pulp, saliva and their tiny hands.
I love this bit of red on the wasp nest. I think it's really cool how the color of the nest is determined by the paper used by the wasp. They're like little wasp artists ;).
