Previously the hunter, a provider of meat, has always been portrayed
as a hero and not a villain! What happened to achieve this modern
day juxtaposition?
Historically hunters have assumed various roles in fables and
folklore, from a pastor of nature to a provider of sustenance, but
now, even to many who eat meat, the hunter represents the antithesis
of this Shepard figure; epitomised as nature's persecutor, preying
on nature's bounty. If hunters are not mindful this juxtaposition
will be recorded as the "Achilles heel of Herne"; a fate aided by
the incessant rhetoric and political positioning from all political
parties. Yes, another pawn, the hunter, is being touted to divert
the ever-gullible public from other dubious political ineptness.
What an abhorrent time to be a hunter. We appear to be news worthy
without doing anything; our persecutors ensure this with claims of
cruelty capturing the political psyche; invoking the media's
attention and therefore by implicate association altering public
perception. At no other time have hunters been under so much
scrutiny by powers so resolute to give so little quarter. In truth,
with all this adversity there is no previous a time in which a more
vital call was hailed for all whose who hunt know who is the enemy?
Some say it is politicians, but politicians are people who should
serve the electorate; i.e. you. They are elected to enact the
manifesto that should have been representative of the views and
opinions of the responsible citizen that elected them. They should
be our representatives in the legislative halls of ministry to
ensure the majorities' opinion will influence the law. But sadly,
on their political patch, politicians know that, among other
attributes, semantics and public appeasement are paramount for their
survival. Their own local personal popularity is the foundation upon
which many are elected, and hence, ironically, if they mirror
perceived local concern they will appear in kilter with the voter
hence safe guarding their future pay packet. In some instances the
truth and this public concern are divorced. In squirming to appease
all, including the vocal minority, the secretion of half-truths in
public debate and the safe haven of "concern", wins votes.
Unfortunately for shooters this "concern" is often based upon a poor
public understanding of "hot" issues taken from the privately owned
media; a business who's primary aim appears to be revenue and its
worth noting that acrimony sells. The politician should be no more
that the actuary of public will, a servant to the public body. This
public "will" would appear to be our battleground and the enemy
would appear, at first sight, to be "the public", at least more so
than the politician for without this "will" the politician should
have no basis for action other than personal self interest and we
don't believe that is a factor, do we?
So what has happen in the past 50ish years to turn the "public"
against the Hunter?
Firstly a proliferation of conflicts have instilled in the mass
mindset that armed confrontation, warranted or otherwise, is
undesirable. Many people caught in these confrontations are killed
and maimed, many by a gun, therefore deeply ingrained in the public
subconscious is that all guns kill "people". A thought that is
increasing entrenched with each escalation of gun crime within our
cities. Unfortunately many ignore the obvious that guns are
inanimate objects and as such a gun, or any tool, is incapable of
action without human intervention; a fact quickly passed over in
every "airtime". The truth, as every hunter is aware, is very
simple; people, and not guns, kill people.
Regardless, we desperately need to distance our self from the
lawless and military use of firearms, to publicise that we own
sporting weapons used in an attempt to humanly dispatch pests and
our prey; period. The re-implantation of this notion into public
psyche, to regain ground that was once apparent, continues to be a
hard fought battle. But, again, how did we lose this ground? The
answer is woven within the second point.
Secondly, and most worryingly, for many, their lives are diverging
from nature. Historically the general populace were forced from the
field by an industrial, agricultural and latterly an electronic
revolution. Now inhabiting a metropolitan area they toil daily in an
artificial environment separated from the seasons; this place all ed
"the office". Daily, they sit in a sterile world, typing on plastic,
talking into plastic, viewing pixels on plastic; even the plants are
plastic. Background noise is their "new" silence; they occupy a
space divorced from the wind by transparent barrier. Inside they
view the natural light come and go for many arrive and leave in the
dark. The air they breathe is warmed, or chilled, to an "acceptable"
quality. Their time cares little for nature's seasons; some seasons
are a nuisance that impedes their commuting. For many the definition
of open space is when they are alone in a room; nature is now mainly
viewed through glass, sitting, whilst being frequented, at speed.
Many are "99% 50er's" i.e.99% of them do not venture more than 50
yards from their car. Children are scolded when they handle the
earth because the ground is "dirty", humorously they are informed
that sheep are "wild". To this majority nature is becoming a
curiosity, not a home. In their weekend hoards they enjoy natures
splendour, most without knowledge of its struggle. Nature is now the
ultimate attraction; a "free" Zoo. But most critically for the
hunter, many people have now lost the mental connection between
their survival and another's demise; their sustenance arrives on
wheels; not feet or wings. Palatable food inhabits a shelf, not a
field. This previously prepared food is packaged and presented with
little generally ambivalent to how it got there, and many are
ignorant or beguiled about its quality. To many, "to kill", is bad,
an interesting morality, for even vegetarians must accept that
vegetables where alive before be consumed. They have no need for a
human method of dispatch, a gun; this tool is redundant in their
Whilst, I can accept that many want nothing to do with the kill for
it upsets their sensibilities; especially as the entertainment
industry increasingly personifies animals, but the remote
sterilisation of the full food process has created purgatory for
those who wish to fully participate in this process, for the mass
think it is cruel to kill
Cruelty is cruel word to the modern hunter. As the masses, and
media, personify animals more and more, it becomes increasingly
uncomfortable for many to see animals in distress; and rightly so.
But is the act of killing cruel? I think not; providing it is done
in the most humane way possible with no unnecessary pain or
distress. What's more I believe that, with due deliberation and
awareness of all the facts, the majority would agree, especially if
they eat meat. What is more cruel, a battery duck, devoid of
freedom, flight and light, killed by electrocution, or a wild duck
killed instantly by a shot?
But to some, the Anti, killing it will always be cruel. They
capitalise on this by displaying pictures or information, out of
context, to a concerned public without imparting any truthful
awareness of said context and definitely embroiling it with their
own interpretation. But again, concerning hunting, what is their
source for these pictures.
Well here is an example.
The snow goose, an American quarry species whose summer residence is
the Northern Territories of Canada, annually migrates south crossing
the USA to its winter-feeding grounds. This goose has previously
bred successfully, so much so that in certain areas its population
is reaching saturation. Realising this population explosion and
predicting the ensuing natural population crash a number of
government agencies looked for a remedy. Obviously swayed by the
huge fiscal implications of shooting the geese at source, or
pricking the eggs, these agencies sought the help of American
hunters in order to cull more of these geese during migration. A
win-win situation you would think. The agencies helped by extending
the season, increasing bag limits and repealing the statue for
plugging your shotgun magazine to 2 shots when hunting this
waterfowl species. Hunters were providing a public and environmental
service, good publicity. --- Well, actually, no. The hunter was
still portrayed as the villain for herein lies the rub.
The America the Anti's are using pictures of mass bags of snow geese
to campaign against shotgun sports. They show hunters apparently
blasting skyward and inferring cruelty on defenceless birds. You
would think that the politicians would stand behind the hunter
wouldn't you? Well, unfortunately, many appear slightly muted. The
reason is simple, the public aren't happy as they will NOT entertain
the thought of human cruelty brought about by indiscriminate or
unethical shooting; which is exactly what the Antis are publishing.
The well meaning, but psychological inept, act of repealing the bag
limit and 2 shot restriction would appear to have indicated a "free
for all approach" for the American hunter. Hunting ethics would
appear to have taken a back seat with a true "Martine" approach
prevailing, the snow goose is a target "any time, any place, any
where (range)" and with anything. With each half dead bird seen,
the Anti's revel in pennies falling from heaven. They smear the
public with images of half dead birds, which of course appear in the
papers which are digested by the majority, this unaware metropolitan
populace, who in turn berate the politicians, who in turn "spin" the
Hunter out to dry.
So finally, most ironically, some American hunters are losing by are
own actions, for the most of deadly ammunition in the Antis armoury
is provided as a product of our hunting, this aspect of cruelty,
unwittingly supplied by the unethical and out of date "enemy
within". It only takes one photo or piece of video footage to
influence millions in this electronic age, one digital image and we,
the hunter, are touted again as the incriminated persecutor of
nature, for to quote Shakespeare in his play Julius Caesar. "The
evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with
their bones."
So, do your future a favour, ensure the kill before pulling the
trigger, shorten your range, use appropriate cartridges and retrieve
all pricked birds instantly, otherwise you are the enemy.

Ok, that's it! I give up! I'm not going to add any daily dramas into my watch list. Do you know how hard it is to wait for a subbed drama to show up on your screen? Very hard! Like Only Love, I'm watching Cheongdamdong Scandal raw too. And who else I would be watching it other than Bel, right? I think we might as well move in together! We keep screaming and tweeting to why aren't people subbing this fabulous drama? People! Please focus! Cheongdamdong Scandal is THE best daily drama ever made!!! No really, you heard me! I'm not joking! Only Love's momentum has died down a bit but CS keeps speeding at 100mph. You should be on board on this train coz the things these writers wrote to make this drama interesting is unbelievable! When you thought you figure it out the problem, OR when you thought the writers are going to take you into the usual familiar plot, think again! These writers are not hiding anything! You want fire? They give you fire! You want earthquakes? They give you a nearly 9.0 scale earthquake. And they don't hide behind bushes. They'll give you heaven and hell immediately. Nope, you don't even hafta wait! Aren't they the best? Why wait for another week when you can see it all on the next day! Bel and I were worried at one point! We thought if the writers give it all, what would happened next? Geogjeongma, they have it all figured it out for us.
This 100, 30 minute episode SBS drama started back in July 21. The story started pretty rosy. The atmosphere was very rich. Very picture perfect. The characters are well-dressed, living in a lavish lifestyle, well behaved and living rich. I was very impressed and I remember asking myself what could go wrong with this picture? I don't see it. Well… The writers are extremely generous to their viewers. And then they roll out the craziness one layer at the time. They first introduced us to Hyun Soo and she did what any first daughter-in-law do best! Taking care of business! Her brother-in-law slept with another woman, she walked in and cleaned up the mess and send him home. This reminded me so much of Midas, an underrated 2011 kdrama. So that is our introduction of Kyung Hoo, Hyun Soo's playboy brother in law even though he looks nerdier than playboy-ish. Later, we get to know how Hyun Soo and her husband Soo Hoo have been dying to start a family but continue to fail after numerous attempt. Now, these are the beginning of the disaster that what to come next. It turns out, Kyung Hoo's source of sleeping around was because he doesn't love his wife, Jae Ni. Obviously, he had an arranged marriage. Hyun Soo and Soo Hoo though are very much in love, and their marriage are based on love. So we now see two distinctive couple under one roof. And then there is a mother in law, Kang Bok Hee. I was extremely shocked when I first get to know her. She seems unreal! She is the holiest mother in law I have ever seen. Period. It was hard to believe that she later is the source of what the whole scandal is about!
The first craziness started when mother in law despise Jae Ni. Due to her family background, Jae Ni and Bok Hee always butt head and it left Jae Ni feeling envy and bitter with her, and envy towards Hyun Soo because she's loved by the family. While this is going on, Jae Ni became pregnant through artificial insemination. Of course right, Kyung Hoo doesn't love her, so why should he make babies with her? Hyung Soo envied Jae Ni's pregnancy and she became a little upset, jealous and a little depressed. But behind all this, she later found out that she's being fed birth control in her daily vitamin which supposed to help her pregnant! Guess who did it? YES, her beloved mother in law! Imagine the look on her face when she found out! And imagine that Hyun Soo did not sit still like any other character in kdrama, she confronted her mother in law right away! Yeah, my jaw was on the floor when she did it! I thought she would just going to secretly revenge but confronting her beloved mother in law is something I don't predict! Wow! Now, let's go back to Kang Bok Hee. Let's step in on her side of life. Why did she do it? First, Hyun Soo is not her choice and it means Soo Hoo is defying her wish for the first daughter in law. Bok Hee loves Soo Hoo so much but angry at his chosen wife. In order to separate them, she did the unthinkable by offering vitamins that include birth control to his wife. Why? So she can use this as an excuse later that his wife fail to bear him a lineage. Heh, what a smart idea I must say! Jae Ni is the wife of choice but by marrying her, Kyung Hoo had to leave his on love. As a good son he is, he went on with the marriage but continue to see someone else. Bok Hee approves this marriage but dislikes Jae Ni but insisting of getting this marriage work, she did not include any birth control in her daily vitamin dose. There you have it kids… This is the start of the scandal that will escalate to even bigger!
So what is next? Well, not to get you excited too early but Hyun Soo left the house after she found out what her mother in law did. Kyung Hoo ended up dead. Yes, I know. We were shocked too! Jae Ni left the home after his passing and Hyun Soo despised his mom after what she did to Hyun Soo. Yeah, scandalous! There is 16 episodes left and what can you expect? Birth secret, stalker (yeah, you heard me!), love interest, love triangle, revenge and jealousy. Oooh oooh and not forgetting more lies. Bel wrote a fabulous mid point review on her blog and you can click here for more details. As much as we are dying to know how this show is going to end, we still couldn't figure out how the writers will wrap Cheongdamdong Scandal. My biggest hunch, as I shared with Bel, that Hyun Soo will walk out of this scandal as a free woman, no strings attached. Would you agree with me? If you are as curious as I am, let's find out together. Hopefully, SBS will re-released Cheongdamdong Scandal next year fully subbed. It's a shame if you don't get to watch this as this is one of the best daily drama I have seen in years!

Today, as always before, apart from the fact that God takes care of all persons, there are certain unusual advantages and privileges or benefits that some people receive by virtue of their faith in Christ Jesus. It is this faith that this edition of our Newsletter is set out to present.
Faith that works
According to James, faith and works are inextricably linked. One´s actions and inactions reveal whether s/he has faith or not. Thus, James contends that:
"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?" (Jams 2:17-22).
As James points out, some actions are required of us before we could receive our blessings from the Lord. Having faith, that, God would do miracles in your life and sitting aloofly or idly, the expected results would not be produced. As cited above, Abraham acted in faith by literally offering his only beloved son, Isaac. Rahab also, knowing well that God would bring deliverance to her and her family, acted by concealing and protecting the servants of God that were sent to spy Jericho (Jams 2:24-25).
It ought to be understood that faith does not completely abrade human rationality. A person of faith needs to assess his or her life to discover and rediscover what should be done in practice. The step of faith that one takes is the work required to materialize the vision or the dream. The job applications made in faith, the short course that was undertaken in faith, the new direction in life that was taken in faith, the positive confessions, the sinful and the wrong actions rejected and abandoned are examples of works that make our faith alive.
Living by Faith:
God has not promised His children a problem-free life. This is why life may be extremely difficult for us as Christians but our only hope to continue living is our faith in Christ Jesus. An unbeliever could resort to all means possible to make life more comfortable for themselves but it is not so for believers. When challenges of life confront us face-to-face, we must remember that our faith would keep us going as it is written, " The just shall live by faith" (Rom 1:17, Heb 2:4).
It is read that by faith our ancestors endured hardships and obtained promises, and some women received their dead children raised back to life (Heb 11:33-35). In all things, we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom 8:37). When all the available facts and material evidence are against you, by faith, declare to yourself and the situation that you walk by faith but not by sight (2Co 5:7). When all the forces of darkness team up against you, do not panic or fret but declare that you "have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1Joh 4:4).
As believers, faith with an acceptable level of rationality (i.e. works and wisdom) in Christ is the antidote to our hassles in this world. We cannot behave as unbelievers in trying moments, but with the right dose of faith, and the Lord God being our help, success would come ours.
Prayer: May the Prince of Peace and the invincible God increase our faith to endure the difficult times we are in, and to live to please Him all the days of our lives. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. AMEN!!

Practical Ways To Support You And Your Team To Thrive Through Coronavirus
Being a small business owner is a mammoth task. You basically need to be an expert in financial management, market research, business strategy, sales, marketing, HR and change management, plus numerous other fields.
Furthermore, even if you have dedicated employees for each of these fields, you could easily be spending your entire day fighting fires for these employees, or jumping between operational tasks like customer calls, overseeing accounts, helping manage HR issues etc. The list goes on, and on, and on.
In fact, most business owners believe that being the first one into the office, and the last one out, 365 days of the year simply comes with the territory.
Because of this, burning out is a real threat. Even if your business is going ok financially, the stress, physical and mental exhaustion it's creating in your personal life, may mean you feel like you finish the day further behind than when you started. Your 'To-Do' List just keeps getting longer and, in our experience, often exhausted business owners just feel like they are not getting anywhere. You could even be wondering why you are "in business" in the first place.
You Are Not Alone.
To help, we asked our team of business coaches here at Kaibizzen to put together a list of "7 Ways To Get Your Time Back As Busy Business Owner", to get you started on the right track and reclaim some of your time.
Time with family, friends and doing the things you love.
Time for your health.
Time you cannot put a price on.
So let's jump into it!
The 80/20 rule was discovered by Italian Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923), an economist, sociologist, and the Professor of Political Economy at Lausanne in Switzerland. He observed that 80% of income in Italy was created by 20% of the Italian population.
Today millions of businesses use Vilfredo's 80/20 rule to gain clarity around the most important things you should be focusing on. Here is how it works:
a) Figure out the 20% of activities that are producing 80% of desired results.
b) Figure out the 20% of activities that are taking up 80% of your time.
Now consider focusing on the 20% of activities that are producing the biggest results and removing, delegating or outsourcing the 20% of activities that are chewing up most of your time. You might notice some overlap, that is fine, this is just an exercise to help you uncover the real time wasters in your business.
When you run a small business, it can often seem like what needs to be done is infinite, and all your tasks require equal attention, or are based on those that scream loudest.
Turn your "to-do" list into a "to-achieve list". For example, the task may be to "phone 5 new leads". Change the wording to "book appointments with [5 Names}. The psychology behind this is that an overwhelming or unpopular task suddenly becomes something that is more inspiring to do. Also it enables you to become really clear on what your highest priorities for the day REALLY are.
The best time to do this is at the end of every day, in readiness for the next day. That way,
your subconscious works on it overnight while you sleep,
you don't wake up at 3am because you've suddenly remembered something to add to your to-do list
and you come into work already clear and focussed on what you need "to-achieve" that day.
Narrow your "to-achieve" list down to just 2-3 items a day, and knock them over. Push the rest to the next day, and on the next day, do the same. You may end up with many tasks that are pushed out, but like the 80/20 rule, that is the point. You can focus on what is most important and get it done.
You might be thinking "no way is this possible". However even if your list is 5 things, the discipline behind the methodology works!
While it is important to keep up to speed with what is happening in your industry and all of your client's communications, email can be a massive time waster.
This is because email is often reactive, not proactive.
Instead, schedule "email time" and approach it like every other task. Even close your email program until it is email time. One of the biggest time wasters is checking your emails first thing of a morning, as it takes your focus away from what you had "to-achieve" for the day. Instead, schedule email time for 10am over a coffee, reply to the most urgent and flag the rest. Then close your email and do not revisit until 3pm (again over a coffee).
Answer any new "urgent emails" and if you have time, attend the ones you flagged in the morning. The reason behind this madness, to free you up to focus on the 20%, or 2-3 outcomes that you have defined in steps 1 and 2.
If you've ever worked in a large corporate company, you'll know how much time gets wasted in meetings. Everyone with a desk feels they need to attend, and vast amounts of time, productivity and therefore revenue go out the window.
The fix, cap meetings at 30 minutes and only have the vital people in the meeting. Set a super clear agenda that's no more than 2-3 points (1 point ideally), and fix or conclude the next step for that point in no more than 30 minutes.
As the old saying goes, "when you are working in your business, you are not working on it". And sometimes all that is needed for a breakthrough, is time away from the daily fire-fighting.
Going for a leisurely bike ride to somewhere new, go for a hike up Mt Coot-tha, drive to the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast and find a beach you love, whatever it is, try to find a low impact activity that will take you fully away from your business and help you clear your mind. Now when you are all alone, think about where your industry is going, where do you want your company to go, what can you be doing different or better, how can you better motivate your team etc.
This simple time away is invaluable and can be more productive than being in the office. During this time you can also check-in with your health, something many small business owners sadly put aside.
Are you more focused in the morning? What time of day is the worst for you? When do you seem to get your best work done? By scheduling your day around your energy levels, you can quickly increase your productivity levels.
Perhaps even more important, your "energy schedule" will help you through the hardest times in your day, so you do not have that feeling of failure or spend too much time on a task because you are doing it with the wrong energy levels.
Easier said than done right? Well, the success and growth of your business all revolve around delegating. That is why you should only ever hire A-grade staff who know more than you do, so you can feel confident delegating.
Unless you are just starting up or a freelancer, you should never need to take on the burden of moving your business forward. Instead, become an expert delegator and empower your employees. They will be happier, and you will be able to get back the time you deserve and "to-achieve" the things that are most important. Again we know, especially when it is your name and reputation of the business on the line, but with the right advice and strategy in place, it's certainly much simpler.

I became General Manager of Islands Executive Suites in April of 2005 which had a varied blend of business professionals . In 2009, Julia Spain and Terri Roman came on board as office space tenants for their individual private practices. As their practice grew, along came a few other colleagues and counseling professionals leasing office space which brought a sense of synergy and collaboration. Julia and I often spoke of the possibility of the suites eventually becoming a wellness center of Counselors and Therapists. In early 2018 Terri and Julia made it happen! They became owners of Islands Executive Suites and formed Gilbert Counselors. I am so grateful to be part of such an amazing group of people that strive selflessly every day to empower, counsel, and guide those that are in need within our community.
I am originally from New Jersey and have been in Arizona for 25 years raising 2 beautiful daughters. My husband and I have recently become empty nesters and are navigating through this next stage of our lives. Our fur babies, 2 English Mastiffs and a Frenchie have become the benefactors of this next phase as they pretty much get our constant undivided attention since our girls left to build a lives of their own.
I come from a large Italian family and embrace my Sicilian culture. It is my hope and dream that when I become a Grandma that I can continue to instill my Sicilian heritage filled with the love of food, good wine and family. Ciao!

Every blow to affirmative action sends people casting about desperately for alternatives. With the particular hostility of the Roberts Court to race-conscious admissions policies, the blows are coming faster and faster these days. And Tuesday's US supreme court ruling in Schuette v Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action was no different: socioeconomic-based affirmative action is now the impending – but seriously flawed – substitute to which universities are turning as they anticipate a day, perhaps in the not-so-distant future, when they can no longer consider race in the application process.
Class-centric approaches to diversity are already making headway at US colleges, but they're not the substitute for race that income- or wealth-focused proponents imagine. Even the most fervent supporters of class-based admissions are quick to acknowledge the dilemma: the sudden ascendance of socioeconomic affirmative action has been made possible by American courts with a waning appetite for racial remedies to racial discrimination – not because it's the best solution.
To be sure, the most compelling argument for class-based admissions preferences is one of political practicality. Public support for affirmative action is at historic lows, and the supreme court is eagerly whittling away at what gains had come from affirmative action. If there was a time to find a politically sustainable substitute, that time is now.
Advocates of a socioeconomic alternative – either by income levels, wealth or household composition – make an intriguing case. Richard Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation and the approach's most forceful advocate, has made the argument several times: when it comes to the related educational barriers of class and race, class predominates. What's more, according to Kahlenberg and researcher Halley Potter's analysis, seven of 10 public universities have been able to maintain or even exceed black and Latino student enrollment totals by adding new considerations for low-income applicants, including in some states where affirmative action was banned.
But this crowd ends up pitting class and race against each other. Whether it's political expediency or ideological difference, proponents of a class-based approach seem as eager as affirmative action foes to dispense with race-conscious remedies altogether. So long as universities may continue to consider race in their admissions, it's disingenuous – if not dangerous – to present an either-or option.
Race and socioeconomic status converge in plenty of ways. Kahlenberg told me himself last spring when we were awaiting the supreme court's ruling in Fisher v Texas:
Much of the reason African-American and Latino students are socioeconomically disadvantaged has to do with racial discrimination in the housing market, with our history of slavery and segregation.
So, yes, class and race are in many ways inextricably linked, but it's folly to focus solely on socioeconomic factors if you're looking for diversity in college admissions – they'll never serve as a magic proxy for race.
When controlled for income, K-12 students of color still lag behind their white peers in academic achievement, as well as in their admission rates to selective colleges. Black students still grow up in very segregated neighborhoods, and therefore attend racially isolated schools. In 2014, a full 60 years since Brown v Board of Education, scores of primary and secondary schools throughout the country look as if the landmark school integration ruling never happened at all.
California, for one, has yet to recover from the disastrous impact of Proposition 209, the nation's first statewide affirmative action ban, which state voters passed in 1996. Despite adopting aggressively class-based, race-neutral admissions policies to stay in line with Prop 209, the state's flagship universities have not been able to return black student enrollment to their pre-1996 levels. Today, California's university system is educating an increasingly economically diverse but racially isolated crop of students. Roughly one-third of University of California undergrads qualify for federal Pell Grants, but in 2012-2013, black students made up just 2.4% of UC-Berkeley's enrolled undergrads. African-Americans, meanwhile, make up about 6.6% of the state's population. The economic workaround is not working alone.
On Tuesday the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of Proposal 2, Michigan's 2006 voter-backed affirmative action ban. Since Prop 2, black student enrollment at the University of Michigan dropped 30%. The race ban isn't working either.
We live in an increasingly stratified landscape of higher education, one where college tuition has ballooned 60% in just two decades; where the nation's top producer of black undergrad degree holders is the scandal-plagued, for-profit University of Phoenix; and where Stanford University recently boasted its lowest admittance rate in its history (5%, for those keeping track). Affirmative action, even in its gutted state, is still crucial to mitigate the harm of enduring racial discrimination. Class-based approaches cannot do all the heavy lifting by themselves.
However enticing, it's plainly impossible to rectify that which we are too afraid to name. Racial oppression is built into the very foundations of America. That enduring legacy is embedded into our current social, political and economic reality. At a time when economic and racial stratification is growing, privileging the consideration of one over the other is a naive cop-out. It's not hard to imagine a legal reality where universities are barred from considering race at all in their admissions. Until then, we need to be considering both options.
"And race matters for reasons that are only skin deep, that cannot be discussed any other way, and that cannot be wished away," Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her impassioned dissent Tuesday. "We ought not sit back and wish away, rather than confront, the racial inequality that exists in our society."
Wherever the majority of the supreme court finds itself on the issue, we'll find no escape from racism by refusing to confront it – or by hiding behind a race-blind quick fix.

So I was wondering to myself what would bionicle (or in this case Bone-Heads) and the lego company itself have been like if bionicle was released as it's original concept (that being Bone-Heads), if you don't know what Bone-Heads was I'll leave a link to the "bionicle autopsy" video where it explains what Bone-Heads was, skip to 1:13 to find out. So yeah what would have happened if Bone-Heads/bionicle was released as it was originally conceptualized?
Regarding cybots.
masterchirox580 posted a topic in LEGO DiscussionWell for those of you who aren't aware of what this was cybots was a cancelled lego theme that was in development during 1995, I'd recommend you look at the brickipedia page on the planned theme(there you can view the prototypes and back story). Links here:http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/CYBOTS So what do you think of the theme? What do you think the models would have looked like(had they gone past the prototype stages)? Could it have been successful? And had this theme been released how do you think it would have affected the future of constraction themes?

Bright, white teeth is a common cosmetic goal for many men and women, but there is also concern over whether teeth whiteningis safe and whether it actually works. In general, as long as you obtain your teeth whitening from a dentist and follow all instructions for use, teeth whitening is a very safe and effective treatment that can lighten your teeth many shades.
Dr. Craig Carlson puts the safety and satisfaction of his patients as his top priority, and as such, he only offers treatments that are proven to be safe and deliver great results. If you are interested in improving your smile, don't hesitate to call Dr. Carlson at 210-494-3511 to schedule your consultation.
Take-Home Whitening Kits vs Over the Counter Whitening Strips
If you want the most effective teeth whitening possible, you should visit your dentist. Over the counter teeth whitening strips have become very popular in recent years, but they are limited in how much they can actually whiten your teeth. If you're okay with a very subtle whitening effect, these strips may work for you, but if you really want gleaming, dazzling teeth, you'll be better off with a dentist-recommended kit.
Here at 5 Star Dental Group, we create custom trays for each of our teeth whitening patients that they can use for the rest of their lives. These custom trays are highly effective, because you can ensure that your teeth are evenly covered and that your gums won't be damaged.
We offer Philips Zoom NiteWhite to use with our custom trays. Benefits of this whitening kit include:
- Whiten your teeth while you sleep
- Less risk of burning your gums
- Less risk of tooth sensitivity
- Takes only a few weeks for noticeable results
- If you notice your teeth darkening again over time, you can reuse your custom tray with a new whitening kit to restore your previous shade
Many intensive in-office and at-home teeth whitening treatments can cause severe tooth sensitivity. Philips Zoom NiteWhite works a little more slowly, but reduces your risk of painful tooth sensitivity.
If your teeth are more sensitive than most, we can prescribe or recommend anti-sensitivity products that can help you with potential discomfort arising from your whitening treatment.
Does Charcoal Teeth Whitening Work?
A recent trend among proponents of "natural" products is teeth whitening using charcoal. While you may find that your teeth become somewhat whiter after using an activated charcoal product, there have been no scientific studies to show that this method is either safe or effective.
Charcoal is abrasive, so it is possible that using it as a teeth whitener can wear down your enamel. If this happens, your teeth can become yellow and sensitive due to exposed dentin. In addition, if you choose to use a charcoal toothpaste, it is likely that you won't get the necessary amount of fluoride to help prevent cavities.
Until activated charcoal teeth whitening has been studied more, we recommend sticking to proven methods of teeth whitening in order to keep your teeth both healthy and white.

You can improve your curb appeal and keep your property spick and span, in the process making a great impression on anyone who visits your home. The ideal option for you is an electric pressure washer.
The GreenWorks GPW1702 is a top of the line electric pressure washer. Providing good pressure, the washer can help you remove dirt and grime with ease, without having to put in excess effort.
You can restore any surface to its original state by washing it using this product. GreenWorks is a reliable name in the pressure washer industry. All their products are backed by their experience and expertise, ensuring that you get a reliable washer that will last for many years to come. Here is an overview of the best features of the GPW1702:
This product has received an average rating of 4 stars out of 5 on Amazon. As compared to other electric pressure washers on the site, the rating is on the lower side, but a majority of the reviews are positive and most customers were pleased with their purchase.
A customer was pleased with this washer, having used the 1500 PSI model before upgrading to this one. The customer wrote that despite offering a better water pressure, the model is not much larger, does not produce much noise, and doesn't weigh much more than the previous model he used.
A customer wrote that he uses this washer mainly for washing his car. The length of the hose is sufficient to wash the car from all sides, without having to moving the machine from its place. This makes cleaning convenient, regardless of whether you are washing your car or your driveway.
Another customer was pleased with the convenience this washer offers. Having purchased a new property, the customer is able to keep the exterior of his home clean, thereby boosting curb appeal and keeping the home look good as new from the outside.
On the other hand, some customers had genuine complaints about the product and left negative reviews on Amazon. A customer stated that he ordered this washer twice and both times it arrived damaged. Even the packaging was damaged and the washer didn't work.
He suggested that if this is the case when you buy the washer, it is best to ask for a refund and ask for a new replacement.
A few customers had issues with the hose that comes with the washer. A customer stated that the hose tends to come loose and also gets coiled during use. This can affect the pressure of the water and make it difficult for you to control the flow to get the desired results.
You can purchase this product on Amazon. The prices start from under $120 along with free shipping. The price varies depending on the accessories you purchase with the washer. If you purchase the washer with a hose and a turbo nozzle, it will cost you just under $170, which is the most expensive package you can opt for.
The product is also available on the GreenWorks website, but is currently listed out of stock. Purchasing it on Amazon will prove considerably more economical. You can still look out for deals and discounts to save money on your purchase and get more value for your money.
Overall, despite its shortcomings, the GreenWorks GPW1702 Electric Pressure Washer is a decent purchase. The price is reasonable as compared to other models. It offers a decent water pressure and is durable. However, if you want a high-end model, you should check out other options.

HLG Lands Job on ADMA-OPCO's SARB Artificial Islands
Habtoor Leighton Group (HLG) has secured an AED250 million contract for the design and construction of an accommodation camp and associated utilities on two artificial islands, S1 & S2, as part of the Satah Al Razboot (SARB) oilfield development, located 120 km north-west of Abu Dhabi, for Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO).
HLG CEO and Managing Director José Antonio Lopez-Monis said the new project reinforces the Group's capabilities in the oil and gas sector and builds on the Group's reputation as one of the leading diversified international contractors in the Middle East and North Africa. "Oil and gas-related projects such as the SARB project align perfectly with HLG's building and infrastructure expertise, and the Group's ability to deliver specialist projects in remote locations," said Lopez-Monis.
HLG's scope of work comprises the design, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of accommodation, offices and associated utilities on two artificial islands, including:
• Two office buildings
• Four accommodation buildings
• Diesel generation units
• Sewage and water treatment plants
HLG will also be responsible for the management and supervision of off-shore installation works on the two SARB artificial islands. " This is the third oil and gas-related project to be awarded to HLG in the past six months and we remain focused on securing more work in the sector.
"Working with ADMA-OPCO on the SARB artificial islands provides HLG with an opportunity to further demonstrate our oil and gas expertise, and secure additional oil and gas-related contracts on both the SARB oil field development and other oil and gas projects across the region," Mr Lopez-Monis said.
The project will commence immediately and is anticipated to be completed mid-2014.

Sometimes this top gets overlooked. I get it. It's not as flashy as the double peplum. But, it's such a workhorse. Like a not so basic, basic. It looks good tucked in or left untucked thanks to the side-seam split hem. And it's fitted without being too fitted (yet not boxy) thanks to the back yolk. The navy pinstripes function as a neutral and can be worn with just about anything. Pair it with your favorite work pants, denim, chinos, a pencil skirt, or shorts.
Even better? It's proven to be extremely versatile across heights. It functions more as a tunic/longer top if you're under 5'8" and as the perfect length top if you above 5'8". The last photo shows it on my mom who is 5'4" for reference (as compared to Maggie featured in the first photo who is 5'11"). If in between sizes, I do recommend sizing up in this top.

How To Become A Better Angler - Part 4 - Black Snapper On The
You should have picked up from yesterday's article that sometimes, and it is more often than
you think,
placing a fly, lure or bait in exactly the right spot can make all the
difference in catching fish or not catching fish
. I could give dozens if not hundreds of
more examples of bass fishing situations where the exact location makes all the difference
but I'll go to a saltwater bottom fishing situation where fishing within a foot or two of an exact
location makes the difference in catching or not catching something. With many of the
saltwater bottom reef fish, this is often the case. This story is unusual because in this case,
I'm writing about fishing water 130 to 180 feet deep, twenty-five miles offshore that, except
for man made reefs, is considered worthless. I discovered I could pinpoint rocks on the
otherwise sandy bottom no larger than the average size bedroom TV that held some very
nice black snapper.
Now, I don't intend to turn this into a how-to article on using sonar or black snapper fishing,
but I will say that after doing instructional videos on how to use dozens of different sonar
units, I learned far more about their operation than the average offshore angler or boat
captain. That enabled me to do some things few could do and most likely in this particular
case, no one ever did intentionally trying to do so.
A young captain friend of mine used to spend much of his off time fishing offshore with me on
my 27 foot sportscraft . He had shown me some rough bottom about 35 miles offshore of
Panama City Beach where we managed to catch large numbers of big black snapper. This
area was near the continental shelf and was no larger than a football field. It had some rock
ledges that went up and down about five to ten feet. The natural reef area was loaded with
large grouper and lots of black snapper. You could just drift back and forth across the reefs
with good odds of being able to get your bait within a foot or two of a grouper or black
The blacks are different than the red snapper in respect to their preferred habitat. They like
deeper natural bottom structure and in preference to artificial reefs. That particular area of
the Gulf has little of that type of bottom unless you go out near the edge of the shelf that
usually starts dropping from about 300 - 600 feet depths. We made many trips out there and
caught lots of big fish from the relatively small area but thirty-five miles is a long run to
bottom fish. He also took a few of his charters to the same area. The end result was we knew
we had put a big dent in the black snapper population of that area. I begin to look for similar
areas of rock bottom much closer to shore.
One thing few anglers know about a fishfinder or sonar unit is an object that appears to be
directly under the boat isn't necessarily directly under the boat. It can be anywhere within the
cone angle of that particular unit's transducer. Fishfinders send out an area of sound that's
confined within a cone shaped much like an upside down ice cream cone. Signal returns
from any object that returns sound signals within that cone appear on a
sonar screen. For example, if the diameter of a twenty degree cone at the bottom is forty
feet, any structure or object on the bottom within that large area returning sonar signals
would show up. This would include any that's as far as twenty feet left or right from the center
of a vertical line straight down from the transducer on the boat. The sonar plots the returns
as the boat moves forward, not left to right. This means that the returns you see on the
sonar display using that transducer cone angle could be as much as twenty feet to your left
or right as you move forward.
When you are fishing for black snapper, you need to put the bait within a foot or two of the
fish. The fish stay right on the structure. Amberjack will swim above and around structure.,
King Mackeral will swim widely around structure, Triggerfish, vermillion snapper, lane
snapper etc. will swim near the bottom but over structure but grouper and black snapper will
hold tight to the structure. Getting a bait within ten or twenty feet of them is usually a
worthless endeavor.
Now, most everyone that fishing the Gulf's bottom regularly know what I just wrote. What they
don't know is how to pinpoint a small object in that depth of water and make certain you get
the bait in that exact spot. Doing that isn't easy. Current has a huge effect on it. If it is strong,
it's really difficult and sometimes next to impossible. In this scenario, without much current, it
is still difficult if you cannot pinpoint the exact location of the TV size rocks. Knowing that one
is within an area that's as large as thirty to forty feet in diameter, isn't worth very much..
For years I had access to sonar units that were expensive with multiple frequencies and
sonar cone angles. By using a very narrow cone angle, and the right frequency and by
plotting GPS paths back and forth across the sonar soundings, I was able to interpolate
exactly where the rocks were. Once I could do that, I could mark the spot on the GPS.
Granted, GPS accuracy during SA only put you within a circular area of about half as large
as the sonar signals but not if you back away and head towards the particular coordinates.
You could get exactly over the object. You have to get the bait (usually small live pinfish)
down on the bottom and then slowly advance over the GPS coordinates but that puts you
directly over the rock.
The bottom line to this is that every time I could find a small rock or two, even though they
were far and few between, I could catch two or three black snapper off of it. These rocks may
be fifty feet to a hundred yards apart. Without much current, It may take me ten to twenty
minutes to do it. It would take longer if there was much current; however, it would only take
one drift with the bait in the right spot to catch a four to eight pound black snapper. The
results was I could limit out on black snapper in a short time in areas of the Gulf where
catching one was rare and in some areas, unheard of. Most of these areas were within
twenty miles of the coast and that cuts the round trip time back and forth down by about
three or fours hours.
Now, I didn't write this to boast about my skills with boating electronics or saltwater fishing. I
had a big advantage over others in that respect. I could run a hundred thousand bucks
worth of electronics on a boat that wasn't worth that much because of my association with the
manufacturers. I did videos on the operation of several manufacturers electronic units. I also
had access to those that designed the equipment. I could find the rocks by using a low
frequency and wide cone angle and then changing to a high frequency and very small cone
angle to pinpoint their location.
Every evening at the dock, anglers, captains and visitors would ask "What did you catch
those beautiful snapper on"? I would just grin and answer, pinfish. Some would ask where
and I would answer by saying "about twenty miles offshore". None of the questions or
answers were worth a red cent.
I know many of you are wondering exactly what this has to do with trout fishing
wrote this to as an example of an extreme case to again, point out the importance of placing
a fly, lure or bait in exactly the right place.
In a nut shell, all other things being equal, the speed at which you can get a fly,
lure or bait in front of the fish your pursuing is directly proportional to the number
of fish you can catch in a given amount of time.
If nothing else, years of earning my
living from producing TV shows and videos, as well as fishing various types of tournaments
taught me that.
The example I gave with the Little Green Worm story occurred in the late 70's. The above
example of black snapper fishing occurred during the mid 1990's. Years of experience and
education had taught me the importance of pinpointing the location of fish and getting the
hook in front of the fish. It didn't make any difference whether it was a snapper or bass.
When I first started fly fishing exclusively in the late 1990"s, I fell like I was light years ahead
of most of those starting out. In tomorrows article, I will get to another example of where
applying this same strategy trout fishing paid off and quite frankly, made quite a few anglers
most of which was very experienced at fly fishing, look pretty bad.

Leveraging Industrial Technology
Leveraging a company's existing technological asset base or its business technology experience continues to offer cost efficient growth opportunities, even in a harsh economic climate.
Early-stage companies, particularly those in the clean-technology and renewable energy sectors for example, are currently looking to commercialize their technology-based products and processes. However, these companies often lack the experience or business relationships to capitalize upon these innovations and effectively commercialize such opportunities.
More established companies often lose the necessary resources to identify, evaluate, and capitalize upon their own technologies, often through divestiture, attrition or the need for key resources to focus on day-to-day business activity.
Other companies may find that they have older technological assets, patents or knowledge, once thought to have no practical application, but which now may offer excellent growth opportunities.
Wherever a company may be on the business/technology growth curve, many are discovering that the use of an experienced, independent business technology advisor can help them:
Westport Business Solutions professional members have extensive experience in each of these areas. They have helped many companies identify commercial opportunities for both new and existing technologies. Where technology gaps have been found to exist, they have helped clients go out and acquire the businesses or technologies necessary. Finally, they have helped take these products to market by using their own professional networks to facilitate the establishment and acceptance of the client and the product into the market.
These professionals have a global track record of successfully leveraging technologies into markets that include the Americas, Europe on Asia.
Contact us if your company has an unexploited or underexploited business technology or technological asset, or even an asset which you may regard as a potential opportunity. Find out how we can help transform it into a valuable source of revenue to your business.

Expert Jewelry Advice That Makes Buying Easy
If you are looking to find jewelry to compliment your clothing, there are several easy ways to figure out what will work and what won't. Check out the following tips on how to combine jewelry with clothing and how to shop around for pieces of jewelry that you will love wearing.
It is sometimes hard to stand out from the crowd or find a meaningful piece of jewelry. Jewelry stores usually sell the same type of designs that prove to be a bore after a while. Go bold and purchase handmade artisan jewelry instead. Handmade jewelry will always be a success due to its one-of-a-kind nature. You will never see anyone else wearing the same thing as you and you will also be supporting an artist instead of an import company relying on low wage labor.
If you want to buy one of the ladies in your life a piece …

Although land-use planning changes the spatial and physical aspects of a rural countryside, it also has impact on and is influenced by social and economic conditions. The status of these conditions can hardly be changed by land-use planning on a farm-level scale. Only through nationwide or statewide land-use planning can certain changes be achieved. This is especially so for multiple land-use planning. In this section, some issues between land-use planning for farming and socioeconomic conditions are presented.
The first issue is sustainability, the general outlines of which are given in Chapter 1. The concept of sustainable land use embraces two goals: optimal use and protection of natural resources for the long term (environmental sustainability) and meeting the needs and aspirations of the present generation (socioeconomic sustainability) [33]. Natural resources are the main production factor for farming, and so, farming has, by definition, an impact on these resources. To provide the right conditions for sustainability within farming systems, land-use planning must improve the spatial and biophysical conditions of the agricultural area, so that an optimal and sustainable use of the natural resources is possible. Land-use planning provides the tools to do this. Some examples of these tools are
• the spatial separation of conflicting land uses (e.g., agricultural and urban land use);
• legislation and regulation with regard to the agricultural use of land (e.g., nitrate application criteria to protect water resources);
• promotion of and provision of the means for nature management by farmers.
Land-use planning has to struggle with two dimensions of sustainability [34]: ecological conservation and economic existence. Conservation is a striving to restore and preserve; Development is a striving to create and "improve." Figure 2.13 illustrates this.
Land-use planning, however, can go further than the above mentioned protection of the natural resources; it can help to restore lost values. This is the case when, for example, farmland is turned into nature areas [35].
The second issue is multifunctional land-use planning, which occurs on a larger scale than one or a few farms. More types of land uses have to be taken into account when planning on this scale; it cannot be restricted to farming alone. The most suitable use of land has to be determined with regard to the land qualities and the requirements that each type of land use has. This may not be agriculture, even in an agricultural area. Sometimes mixed forms of land use are possible and, in fact, have even been encouraged [33] where they take into account the interrelationships among the land uses (see Fig. 2.14).
The third issue concerns the market principle and economic conditions. The agricultural interest in certain kinds of land is determined by the situation in the agricultural market [36]. The market has more influence in some political systems than in others, depending on the extent of freedom of pricing. If land prices are low, many farmers will want to buy land, so that the pressure on the market for land increases. Land-use planning has to deal with this problem, for example, by making more land suitable for farming.
When the demand for farmland is low, land-use planning can transform agricultural land into nature reserves or recreational sites.
Agriculture always has been an important sector in almost every economic system in the world. Most nations have been and are dependent on agricultural exports [37]. Governments have treated agriculture according to its importance to the national economy and, in many cases, have made the improvement of agricultural conditions the single goal of land-use planning.
In developing countries, land-use planning and rural development may be used to increase exports consisting of primary agricultural products, such as cocoa butter, raw timber, and soybeans. These products are processed, after being imported, in developed countries [38]. In this situation, land-use planning can be used in two ways: The first is to help increase the production level of the primary production systems. The second is to help to develop ways to process the primary products in their country of origin, thus stimulating the national economy. Land-use planning is only one of the many instruments needed to enhance these complex, international relationships.
The fourth issue is rural development. When the agricultural system in a certain area is improved by land-use planning, the rural area, which usually is connected closely with agriculture, benefits from this improvement. In most cases, land-use planning will improve not only the conditions for farming, but also for other land uses (see the preceding discussion of multifunctional land-use planning). Conditions in the area as a whole will improve, in most cases causing a higher level of economic activity. When this happens, land-use planning can provide some of the conditions for increased economic activity, for example, through improvement of the infrastructure.
The improvement of a rural area with regard to its economic possibilities and its social and environmental "health," is called rural development. Land-use planning and rural development go hand in hand: one needs the other, and there is no clear boundary between them [6].
However, there are, two sides to rural development. The most important is the above-mentioned development of the area. The other side is the increase in property taxes and the general cost of living [37]. The increase in property taxes is a result of the increased value of the land arising from the demand for more land to facilitate the economic activities. This is even more the case when the increased economic activity leads to urbanization of the countryside. Speculation and the market principle lead to higher land prices. A higher service level for the inhabitants of the area leads to higher cost of the primary services.
The fifth, and final, issue is knowledge. Generally, much knowledge and information are required about what, how, where, and why planning should take place. For farming, land-use planning involves information about the land and about farming. Information about the land provides insight into the opportunities and constraints of each type of land for agriculture. The land qualities mentioned in Section 2.2.3 can be a good guide when gathering information. The spatial requirements of agriculture can be found in Section 2.2.2. It is essential that all information be integrated in an information system. Such a system makes it possible to assess biophysical and spatial effects of the alternative land-use options and to make decisions as to the best alternative [39].
Aside from the information about land and agriculture, some knowledge about the planning process is necessary. This is reviewed in Section 2.1.

It is convention these days that educational institutions publish their journals and hand out the same to their students, members and instructors. The purpose behind the journals may be impart knowledge on different topics or communicate news, events or any restructuring or proposal related to the institute. Journals are normally fancy with colorful graphics and animated pictures which mean that an institute will have to bear expenses every time it publishes a journal. Publishing such journals in printed form is however an old an ineffective trend because everyone might not be able to lay their hands on it. So NAISIT online content management system is a means through which educational institutes can issue unlimited editions or their online journals. The obvious trait of publishing them online is that anyone can access and download them.
Process Involved
At any moment you acquire a newspaper on your school, we'll secure the proper specialist to compose a profitable newspaper for you personally fast. The newspaper may be some thing brilliant, or it may be really poorly created. The entire paper will be subsequently tell you an anti-plagiarism system to create certain there isn't any trace of plagiarism within it. If you would like to get yourself a low-cost custom paper, then keep reading for some information best research paper writer and suggestions on just how in which the practice works and precisely what you can get to get.
When a college or university needs to publish their online journal, the admin or the manager will make a proposal through our web application or online management system which is in the form of a website. The members on the website will pour in their papers, research work or articles through uploading them on the system in Word Files. These files will be instantly received by the admin or editor of the journal which will be appointed by the educational institution. The editor or the admin will then review the submitted papers or articles for publishing them. It is at the very discretion of the editor or the admin that whether a paper or article will become a part of their journals or not. After selecting the material that will be there in the journals, the editor or admin will convert them in PDF files through using our system. The end product will then be made available to the members and students for instant download (with or without charge). There is no limit to the issues which can be addressed in these journals and may cover any topic. You can publish many journals at a time and can keep the old publication intact so that students, members and instructors can search out an old publication. The internal messaging system that has been incorporated in our content management system enables members, editors and authors to have online communication to address each othera��s opinions.
The traits of publishing online journals via our web application are very much the same as publishing books through this system. The more is the number of people participating in presenting different viewpoints or topics on different issues, the more diverse, effective and interesting the journal becomes. The management of an institution can address various issues of their students through different topics in these journals. NAISIT has a team of experts which has tons of experience and expertise in devising web applications and content management systems. Using our content management system or the website we provide, you can make sure that every bit of information related to your institute is readily available. You can provide your students and instructors with a prolific resource for expanding the spectrum of their knowledge and for increasing their efficiency.
