'Boaters' Paradise' Proposed for Marina del Rey
Byline: Ambrosia Brody
MARINA DEL REY — Some new additions may be headed for Marina del Rey's Pier 44, if the Los Angeles Department of Beaches and Harbors' Department of Regional Planning approves a proposed project that would construct a boaters' lounge and a large marine chandlery, among other amenities at the 13-acre site.
"Our proposed development plan for Pier 44 can certainly be called a 'Boaters' Paradise,'" wrote developer Jack Hollander, of Jack Hollander and Associates Inc. "The project has been designed to provide boaters the amenities and functions they require."
The proposal was recently reviewed by the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors' Design Control Board during a special meeting, where board members approved the project but asked the developer to return with modifications to the plans.
According to Patricia Younis of the Bridge Group, who represents the developer, Design Control Board commissioners asked the developer to return with revised site plans that will provide more view corridors along the water and a diagonal crosswalk to the entryway of the project site.
"We will come back with a wider view of the water from Admiralty Way, and a direct walking area that goes across the corner to the entry, into the parking lot of the project," Younis said.
Staff members will also continue to work with South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club on its request for more dry storage for boats, she added. "We will work with the yacht club until they are happy," she added.
The commission's approval of the project allows it to move on to the Los Angeles Regional Design Control Board. Scoping meetings will be scheduled in September to allow for additional public comments.
The project also will require an Environmental Impact Study and a traffic study.
The waterside portion of the project was previously approved by the California Coastal Commission. Dinghy docks and a water taxi landing are included in those plans.
There are 198 slips in the current Pier 44 marina, with slips ranging in size from 25 to 35 feet, and some end ties. The majority of slips are doubles.
The slip plan approved by the Coastal Commission would offer 141 slips ranging in size from 25 to 60 feet — all singles. Eighty-three percent of the slips in the new plan are 36 feet in length and smaller, and most of those are 30 feet. The slip reduction is primarily due to Americans with Disability Act requirements for access specifications and other required changes for new marinas, Younis said.
According to the proposal submitted by Jack Hollander and Associates Inc. for the applicant, Pacific Marine Ventures LLC, the plans call for proposed improvements to the parcel that comprises approximately 8.39 acres landside and 4.68 acres waterside.
The property — which sits on Admiralty Way, Mindanao Way and Bali Way — currently includes three yacht brokers, a boat maintenance and repair shop, South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club, an office building and boaters' restrooms.
Cardel Yachts, Bob Koepple Yacht Sales, Randall Burg Yacht and Ship Inc., Marina Sailing, Open Sailing USA, and Blue Pacific Boating are among the tenants. Pacific Marine Ventures plans to demolish all seven existing building, which reportedly do not meet the latest building and Fire Department codes.
The applicant has worked closely with the Department of Beaches and Harbors, the Department of Public Works and the Planning Department on the redesign of the waterside and landside components of the project. From those discussions, the developer has tried to create "an environment which provides great services to boaters and local residents while attracting visitors from surrounding communities," according to the report.
Several goals of the project have been established by the applicant, including increasing and improving view corridors, providing significantly improved public access to the water, improving boaters' access to restroom and shower facilities, providing a boaters' lounge and community room, and providing for the relocation and enhancement of existing yacht brokers' on-site facilities.
Bringing a major retailer, such as West Marine store, to the corner of Mindanao Way and Admiralty Way to serve boaters' needs for supplies — and including a specialty market, such as a Trader Joe's, on Mindanao Way to provide convenient provisioning options for boaters — are also proposed in the project's plans.
"Accommodating boaters was of the utmost importance when designing Pier 44," Hollander wrote in the proposal.
As proposed, a boaters' lounge would be located on the second floor of the designated "West Marine building."
"Laundry facilities have also been included adjacent to the boaters' lounge, so boaters can wait in the lounge while they do their laundry," Hollander wrote.
As designed, boaters would be able to buy boats, purchase boat parts and store their boats, as well as buy food and beverages, without leaving the site, he added. Pacific Marine Ventures is currently in talks with a restaurant for the lease of the 8,000 square foot restaurant property on the site.
The developer hopes to break ground on the project in 2015, pending coordination with the county.

Bob Mueller!
For all of you hoping for Bob Mueller to take down this criminal cabal occupying our White House, I'm with you.
But even if he does, that will not be the end of the nightmare. The underlying problem that few are recognizing is that our government has been taken over by the billionaire class, lock stock and barrel! For example, the Koch brothers. they own a good percentage of our supposed representatives in DC and state legislatures.
They want you to think that you can still achieve the "American Dream", when in reality they stole it from you years ago. You just don't want to admit it. Then you have Google and Facebook and Twitter and all the other social media platforms. Who among you really believes that Google and Amazon don't know every aspect of your searches, your purchasing patterns, your private life. Why shouldn't they, you tell them everything that goes on in your life. And then you place in your home a speaker that is on at all times, for convenience. That to me is stupidity! You have been brainwashed into thinking the way you do because they know your secrets, and they use them to get what they want, which is more wealth to the top.
Think about it. TV programming, the internet, advertising, all designed to dumb down this countries population. Education (or the lack thereof of facts) is being manipulated to teach our young people to be slaves to the pursuit of success, no matter the cost. Everybody gets upset when the Dow takes a tumble, only to come back within a few days to it's previous absurd level. The only ones making a killing in the market today are the power brokers. It's their party and you are not invited. I have seen a lot of changes in my 71 years, and most are not good. It will fail, and soon. It cannot go on this way for much longer.
We are entering into the unknown, with the denial of climate change, no money for necessities, no care for the less fortunate and continuous growth of inequality among the classes. It will come back to bite us in the ass and it will not be that far in the future.
Our future will be determined by people we don't even know exist, because they are in agencies like the CIA, the NSA, and other covert agencies who monitor every inch of your life.
I know many of you may take this as the ramblings of an old man, but I can guarantee this. DJT is only a symptom, the worst lies beneath the surface. The fact that an idiot like him got as far as he has is the problem, and if you voted for him you have been taken over by the elites and Facebook.
To be continued!
May peace be with you, and may you wake up before it's all gone!

Dear Pharmacist,
I'm going through a lot right now. This year, my New Years' Resolution is to exercise more, hoping to take my mind off everything. My schedule only allows me to go to the gym twice per week. Will this help me feel better, in terms of anxiety or mood?--F.A., New York
Answer:You're among an estimated 38 percent of Americans that make a New Year's resolution to either lose weight or exercise more. That's around 125 million people! While you tighten those abs, you increase happy brain chemicals, thus enhancing feelings of a good mood and reducing anxiety. Exercising during the day improves sleep. So yes, this is the perfect time for you to commit, and I commend you for using the gym as your solution as opposed to other solutions, like the drinkable, addictive sort.
To get these benefits, the CDC recommends that you get least two and a half hours of moderate exercise per week. So your question is a good one, if you only make it to the gym twice a week, are you still getting the neurological "brain" benefits the other five days of the week?
Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil compared brain cell (neuron) growth in rats that were either active or sedentary. Not surprisingly, the active rats show two to three times more neuron growth, plus they had better memory skills than the rats who got to rest.
We all know our jeans fit better when we exercise, but how long will exercise boost brain function and mood? Dr. Bucci, an associate professor of psychology and brain science at Dartmouth, says this varies from person to person.
Don't stop working out after you've achieved a size four! Researchers examined what happens to memory when exercise is suddenly halted, and the results were dramatic. After just one week, all the health and memory benefits declined in the rats who had been exercising. After 10 weeks of inactivity, the previously active rats' brains were almost indistinguishable from those of the sedentary rats!
What does this mean for us? It means get off your butt and shake your booty. I can tell you firsthand, when I hunkered down to write my first book in 2006, I ignored my exercise regimen for 6 months solid. I felt it too. I kept losing my keys, documents on the computer... I would forget what I went into the room for and stuff like that. Today, I don't hunker down, I allot time to write, as well as time to take a walk, hike, hula hoop, yoga, dance or do pilates. Something! I feel terrific and my mind is very sharp. If you're unable to exercise because of physical limitations, do one brain game per day like sudoku, scrabble or a crossword. It increases neuroplasticity allowing your brain to grow cells, reorganize and rewire itself. Simply defined neuroplasticity means: Use it or lose it.

The best thing about the oneQ system is the almost unlimited number of possibilities it has. You can combine different cooking styles, put together any size and shape of outdoor kitchen and add any accessory that makes your cooking life easier!
Outdoor cooking is more popular than ever. Besides traditional grills and smokers we see more people building or buying complete outdoor kitchens.
The oneQ system not only enables you to create a tailor made outdoor kitchen by using the oneQ Legs. The standard sized modules are also ideally suited to build them into a kitchen counter or garden table. You simply create a standard sized opening (according to our build in manual) and then you can place any oneQ function in that opening: a gas grill, a charcoal grill, a wine cooler, a sink with a faucet, a cutting board or even a small kamado grill.
And the unique to oneQ is that the modules are interchangeable, so if you for example have the concrete table with three openings, you can use it with three wine coolers one day when you are just having drinks and put in three grills the other day when you have a lot of friends over for a barbecue party. And if you need a large flat table again, just put some cutting boards into the openings.

About us
I am trying to raise money for Mia to get a stroller. She is 5 y/o and has autism. I need a stroller for her do to her "tantrums" and low muscle tone. She wears afo's in her shoes which by the end of the day hurt her feet.
I have tried through medicaid and it doesn't seem to be going through but we need one yesterday.
Depending on how much money I can raise the cost ranges from $170-$1900. Obviously the $1900 is a better one with a higher weight limit and has a tray (she is gf/df so it will help when we are places she can eat right where she rolls)
The brands are special tomatoe buggy($170) or pushchair ($450) also the Swifty ($1900).
Anything will help it is a lot of money and I really as much as I want to do it on my own...I can't.
Thank you!
yes I did change it fundme.com take 5% of your goal so at $1900 I got to $1805 in reality. $1900 is just for the base of the chair $2600 is for the harness and etc. After other fundraising I am $600 from my goal. I am just keeping this up here due to the donations. If I do go over my goal any extra will be donated to autism speaks or autism of delaware when we do our yearly walks for the chairtiy.
I did talk to the company and had the price reduced since it is self pay $2326.90 is the cost.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Los Angeles • It is easy to understand, all at once, both the hope and the concern.
There was Derrick Favors, the 6-foot-10 forward, pulling down 17 rebounds earlier this month against the Portland Trail Blazers, blocking shots and finishing at the rim. There was Enes Kanter, barrel chested and barely 21 years old, backing down defenders, and hitting jump shots en route to 23 points.
But if the duo starts for the Utah Jazz opening night as is expected, it will be just the second time in the regular season the two big men have been in the same starting five.
The Jazz have invested some may say gambled much on the young frontcourt, letting proven veterans Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson walk to give Favors and Kanter a chance.
Jazz small forward Richard Jefferson cautions: It will take some time.
"They're going to need more time playing together," he said Monday in Los Angeles. "You look at [the Clippers'] DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin; these guys have played together for four years now. Those are things where you learn and you grown from each other. [The pairing of Favors and Kanter] is something that's great for the future and right now you have to kind of work with them and help them improve."
There are certainly reasons for optimism.
Through five preseason games, Favors leads the league in rebounding with 10.6 boards a game. Jazz coach Ty Corbin believes the 22-year-old from Georgia Tech has "an opportunity to be one of the best big men defenders in the league this year."
The Jazz risked plenty for Favors, the centerpiece of the package Utah got in return for All-Star point guard Deron Williams, and the Jazz front office doubled down on Favors last week, announcing a multi-year contract extension worth a reported $49 million.
General manager Dennis Lindsey said Favors represents the future of post defenders.
"The way the NBA is going, the bigs have to be mobile enough to cover in pick and roll, but they have to be big enough to deny a spot and hopefully have enough length and lift to block a shot," Lindsey said. "Does that describe who we have? I think it does."
And where Favors' offensive game struggles, Kanter seems willing to pick up the slack.
Kanter, by far the better offensive player at this juncture, is second on the team in scoring this preseason, averaging 12.6 points a night.
On one possession Sunday night in Oklahoma City, the 6-11 Turk faced the basket, dribbled into the post, pivoted and spun for a basket. On the next possession, he hit a running hook shot in the lane.
Corbin, meanwhile, says Kanter's game should improve as he continues to work his way back from a shoulder surgery that cut his season short last year.
"He missed a good six months last year and this summer of being on the floor and being able to move around with guys," the coach said. "He's working his way back to basketball shape."
There have been questions about which position each is best suited for, but Corbin sees Favors and Kanter interchangeable depending on the matchup.
"Right now, we're moving both around and playing different opponents in different positions," he said. "Offensively, they'll play both high and they'll both play low, some."
Favors and Kanter played 706 minutes together on the floor last year. In that time, they showed signs of the defensive improvement Corbin and the Jazz hope to see this year. Favors and Kanter allowed 98.3 points per 100 possessions. Utah's primary frontcourt of Millsap and Jefferson allowed 107.6.
With each game, Kanter said he and Favors are developing better chemistry.
"I've been playing with Derrick, this is going to be my third year," Kanter said. "I just feel real comfortable with him. I know he's got my back and he knows I got his back."
But after Sunday's 88-82 loss to the Thunder, Favors acknowledged there's a ways yet to go.
"We're still working," he said. "Still have a lot of stuff we have to work on."

Parking a Car in Italy: Sidewalks & Crosswalks
There are lots of reasons why I may never drive a car in Italy. For one thing, I'm not one of those people who "loves driving" even in the U.S., so I have no problem letting the husband – who does love driving – take the wheel when we travel. And don't get me started on how crazy I think Italian drivers are. But even on a more basic level, I'm not sure I'd ever be able to park a car in Italy.
The streets of Milan are, like many big cities in Italy, always rife with examples of – shall we say – creative parking. Many of the sidewalks are extra wide, and fully 1/2 to 2/3 of that space is taken up by parked cars. Yes, parked cars on the sidewalk. And not half on the sidewalk, half on the street, either – they drive up onto the sidewalk at the "driveways" which are positioned periodically along the sidewalk, and then slot their little cars into their spaces. Word to the wise – if you're walking down a sidewalk around the time folks are leaving for work or around the time they're returning home, don't have your head buried in a book or you might just end up doing a face-plant into a Fiat Panda.
Even narrower sidewalks are fair game, but this time it's the scooters that claim that ground. Some of the sidewalks in central Milan look downright empty when the scooters and motorcycles are gone, and as you can see in this picture there's still ample room for pedestrians alongside the parked motorbikes.
But then there are older (read: smaller) sidewalks which clearly weren't built with a dual purpose in mind – they were intended as sidewalks, where people would walk, and that was all. Of course, these days that original purpose is out the window, as people squeeze their Vespas into place anyway. I took these pictures of the tiny path left on this particular sidewalk, but didn't dare actually try to manoeuvre in to walk through – it was virtually blocked by scooters on all sides, and I really didn't want to be the domino that made them all go falling down. Thanks, but I'll take the long way 'round.
Perhaps my favorite example of "creative parking," however, was this one that I spotted one morning outside our apartment building. What you have to understand about this street is that, as you can see, it comes to a T with another street – so your only options here are to turn left or right. There is no going straight here. So, this driver – clearly an out-of-the-box thinker – figured that the space in the middle of the street was going to remain unused. Unless, of course, he parked his car there.
Incidentally, two people were standing nearby when I took those last two pictures, and although I was smiling to myself at the crazy parking job, they just looked at me like I'd taken a picture of a lamp post. Like, there couldn't be anything at all interesting or photograph-worthy in what I'd just snapped. And there obviously wasn't to them – but to me, it was worth a good giggle.
Anyway, I'm pretty confident in declaring here and now that until I can look at the middle of a crosswalk and see it as a viable parking space, I will never be capable of driving in Italy.

Austrian trumpet player Franz Hautzinger, a major contributor to the Viennese avant-garde, conceived the idea for Regenorchester on a rainy day in London. Previous versions of the group moved between soundscapes and passionate electrical jazz, with Hautzinger's extremely concentrated improvisations as a point of reference. In this latest version he plays with American electric guitar talent Ava Mendoza, Luc Ex and the Knaplot duo. 'Hautzinger intrigues with electronic transformations of volume, with echo and loops, in powerful and subtle techniques on his quarter tone trumpet' (Volkskrant).
"It is a beautiful spectacle to watch such adventurers in a crusade of finding the limits of their instrument. It sounds awake and threatening. Rain and sunshine at the same time. Lunapark in hell." jazzenzo, Tim Sprangers

Our Philosophy & Beliefs
Our philosophy:
Play based learning
- Allows for independent choice in a structured learning environment
- Teachers plan and set out learning opportunities that are fun, engaging based on the interest of the children
- Children are able to choose their activities. By the time you pick up your child at day's end, they will have had a chance to engage in all activities
- Teachers track planning and development, then discuss this involvement at a monthly meeting where they plan accordingly for the next month based on skills already developed
- This results in developmental growth in every child
- Focus areas are:
- Gross motor and fine motor physical development
- Social, emotional and cognitive development
- Self help skills.
Your child will benefit from our safe, clean, play based learning environment for children under 6 years old:
- Child-friendly and age appropriate environment. Your child is placed in one of six different classrooms that meet the needs of their specific age group. For example, in our infant room the activities and furniture are developmentally appropriate, allowing the child to roam free within the organized structure of the room, while choosing the activities that are of interest to them
- Activities that encourage child development. Each activity is set up intentionally to encourage your child's development in the classroom. For example, our infant room has toys to entice the child into practicing fine motor dexterity. There are exciting opportunities for language development, creative mediums for manipulation, and lots of floor space for practicing crawling or walking, with a separate sleep room for quiet time.
- Lots of opportunities for energetic fun. We have an indoor gross motor room for inclement weather days and a large outside playground for good weather play. This playground is annually inspected by a third party for safety and repairs according to Canadian Safety Standards and Child Care and Early Years Act Requirements, plus we perform Seasonal, Monthly, and twice-daily safety checks as well.
- Fresh air and exercise. Our outdoor Preschool Area has a large free space so children can run, play games and enjoy space. There is a gazebo for more quiet sheltered activities, and a large climber for challenging physical coordination. Our Toddlers play space is geared to shorter legs, and our infant play space provides walking opportunities in a variety of mediums: sand, grass, asphalt, and wood.
Our staff members:
- Work together in classroom teams planning and caring for the children in each classroom
- Work hard at being inclusive and reflect a large variance in experience and training. Our Staff team consists of 15 full time positions that are filled by registered Early Childhood Educators – each person brings a unique perspective and varied skill set, spanning up to 28 years of experience. Our 8 part time positions are filled with supportive team members who also bring related experiences and education that can include being registered with the College Early Childhood Educators.
- Work with each other. Half of our staff rotates to another classroom each year, which has helped create long-term working relationships between our staff members (more than half have been with us for over 10 years!). This also creates an extended family-type atmosphere for children who attend and move from one class to another. Many clients have been with us longer than 7 years as they raise their family.
Our full time onsite cook has many years of experience and has been trained in the requirements for the Food Handler Certificate. The Administrative Team consists of our Executive Director Asma Kidwai, Assistant Director Margaret Bandosz and an Accounts Manager.
Asma is a graduate of University of Delhi, and has received Canadian Equivalency for her degree through the University of Toronto in Honours English Literature. She holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Sciences, and has also received her Early Childhood Equivalency through the Association of Early Childhood Educators. She also is Registered and Certified. Asma began her relationship with Eden Daycare as a Supply Teaching Assistant, and has moved through the ranks to full time teacher, then Head Teacher, then Assistant Director and is currently serving as the Executive Director.
Margaret is a graduate of the University of Lodz in Poland, with a Master degree in Education in teaching the primary grades. Margaret received Canadian equivalency for her credentials (including ECE) through the University of Manitoba , in Saskatchewan and in Ontario through Sheridan College and the AECEO. Margaret is Registered and Certified. Margaret began her relationship with Eden Daycare as a Supply Teaching Assistant, and has moved through the ranks to full time teacher, then Head Teacher and is currently serving as the Assistant Director.

if you have ever used mail merge customize your letters to customers
you're going to love data merge
inside of adobe photoshop
this is like Mail merge on steroids it allows you to create custom designs for
your clients based on data that you have.
This video demonstrates the basics of customizing your photoshop designs
based on data.
Here are six easy steps to follow.
Number one create your design in photoshop
number two organize and label your layers
number three
define variables inside of photoshop
number four
create your data file
and csv party txt file
export data files
number five and number six
process your images into other formats
so let's go ahead and get started
first of all you need to create your design inside of photoshop as you can see
here I've created a simple design
showing the flashlight illuminating the person's name
as well as an imprint of the person's name on the flashlight the letter on the
document also includes the
person's name as well as a customized website address so they can go to for
this website
now the purpose of this is to attract somebody's attention
when I receive mail and it has my name not just on the letterhead but
scattered throughout the design
I'm more inclined to open it to read it to find interest in it
and so that's the hope that the design like this
that the reader will look at the mail
and they'll say wait let me check this out it has my name on it its more
and they might take a more serious and maybe spend more money with your company
so with that I have a simple design here
I have this broken up into a couple of layers first I have background picture
you can see an image there
I have changed the hew of this flashlight
from blue purple
and I have the salutation set up right here separately
and I have the name on the pen
Where we are going to put a design of the name there
and right here I have the name coming out of the flashlight with a glow
added to it
and there's a custom website built here as well
now what I want to do is I want to create hundreds of designs
with this exact same design
but I want to change
the text to be the person's name who's receiving this
I've also done a survey
and I have data that indicates some of my
potential customers
prefer blue to purple
and so I have two different options they can either get a blue
mailer with a blue
company local or they can get a purple one based on the
data that we have received
so let me show you how to do this
we've created our design inside a photoshop
we've organized our design
by labeling all of our layers
and labeling them something sample so that we can remember
now what we need to do is define variables inside a photoshop
to do this
you go up to the image
click on variables
and then choose define
this is going to bring up a dialog box
this dialog box right here shows us the layers
this actually corresponds to all of the layers
that I have set up
in my layers panel
I'm going to define the web layer
and I'm going to replace it
I am going to click text replacement because I want to change this with
text from my data
and I'm going to give it a name of web
now when you choose
these names
don't use funky characters like slashes or exclamation points
I like to keep it simple I use all lower case
because it is case sensitive when you replace the text
so what I do is I'm doing
all lower case this allows me too
have fewer mistakes in the long run
no spaces
there are some characters you can use such as a dash of our hyphen
but I prefer to keep it simple all lower case with no spaces
so now
there's an asterisk here
this indicates that this layer has some sort of variable defined
let's go ahead define the other parables as well
we're gonna go ahead text replace that one
we will call it name
pretty simple easy enough to remember
and let's move onto the next one
name pen
now for this one
I'm gonna change it and the name is going to be the exact same again so I am going to
click on text replacement
I am going to call it came again
Now when I do this
sometimes a comes up with error saying that you already have that
but that's okay if it does
it we'll tell me on the side here if I have...
Here's the error
the variable name "name" is already in use do you want to use this and yes I want to
use it
and now it shows me that it's being used in more than one place
I'm gonna go salutation
and again I want to replace it with the variable that is going to be called name
now when I move on to the next one hue and saturation
again it comes up with the same error
and it shows me
which other variables are
where name is also being used on the other layers
so it's being used on those three but that's fine because that's how my
design is
I'm going to move on to hue and saturation
now this one is a little bit different
notice that doesn't say text replacement that's because it's smart enough to
realize that hue and saturation
is not text
it's just a new effect applied to
to this layer
so what I want to do
is change the visibility
I want this to be either be on or off
let's say my data has indicated whether somebody
wants purple
or a blue
or maybe has a preference of their color choice
so I can go ahead and change the visibility
to turn on or off
my hue and saturation layer to change the color of my design
and I'm gonna go ahead and change this variable
to be something a little bit more simple such as color
and let's move onto the next one
the last one pictured that's the background picture I'm not going to change anything
if you do have designs for you do want to change pictures
when you have a picture if you can choose pixel replacement and
you can change it to another picture
to do that you simply save all the pictures that you want to replace inside
the same folder as this photoshop file
I'm going to ignore that one for right now
so what we have just done is defined all of our variables.
Each layer
is a variable or can change based on the data that we have
I'm going to now show you
if we switch this to data sets
it's going to allow me to connect this to some data
I'm actually going to hit ok
just wanted to show you can get it from here as well
but i'm gonna head okay
you can also access this
by going to image / variables / data sets
and it takes you to the same spot
now you could come here and you could type in each of the data sets
by simply clicking here and typeing each one
but let's say I have hundreds or thousands of clients and I want to have
to type in each one and choose each variable
instead I want to create
a data file that has all of this information
so I'm going to use
precreated data.
here and it's in a text file a txt file
you can either have a csv or a txt file saved
you can create your file inside of
Excel, maybe you download all the data that you have and you can go
through and clean it up inside of excel and in here you can see I have three
different fields or
labels I have name, web
color so what I'm going to do is I'm going to insert the name
insert this web address
and insert the color
now notice how it says true or false
all this is telling us
is whether this is visible
or not visible
that's all the true or false is saying
I'm going to go ahead and import that data so I click on import
and I'm going to select the file
and I have my file right here
if your file is not shown
it may be looking for a text file and maybe your file of the csv file
you may not have saved as a t x t or csv file
you can change or toggle between a text file or a csv file here
mine is a text file so I will click that
I click on load
and now I'm gonna go ahead and choose automatic
and it says replace existing data sets I don't have any data sets but I'm gonna
keep it there
I don't want to use
first column for data set names because mine was not set up
that way so I am going to hit ok
now when I do that
you may not have seen it but photoshop started doing something funky back here
it toggled between a couple of datasets
and I can see here this is populated
with the different
data that
I've created into here and
it calls a dataset one I could rename this if I like but I'm going to
keep it as it is right now
I'm going to click dataset number two
and notice how toggles between my original and my new one and it's updated
everything here the color of the flashlight the color of the logo has changed
the text has changed
I can continue on
checking all of my datasets
and again I can see it looks like it's correct
and I can go through all my data sets now if I have a hundred, two hundred,
or a thousand different
datasets I may not go through each one
but maybe I can go through the first couple just to make sure that everything
is working correctly
if it is working correctly and everything looks fine
I'm gonna simply hit okay
now it goes back to normal it looks like nothing has been done
this is because it has the information stored but we need to
create the files now
to create the files from this
simply go to up to file
data sets as files
now we have to do the previous steps or this won't work
it'll be greyed out
so if it's greyed out that means you missed one of the previous steps and you might go back
make sure that you defined and set up data sets
when you set up
your data set sometimes an error comes up I'll talk about that at the end
so let's go ahead an export these we've go up to file
and down to export
we now export data sets as files
and what this allows you to do is
export all the files that you've created
you can choose where you going do it
you can choose which data sets maybe there are specific ones you wanted to
I'm gonna choose all because
just makes more sense do all
and I want to call this custom mailer
now I can add in different
extensions that I want to include here
I'm just going to call a custom mailer data set and give it a number that way
it's unique
we can save it with a capital or lower case dot psd
you can make it
compatible with the mac or unix
I'm just gonna keep mine set right now as windows
so now I have all my settings selected i simply click ok
and it runs through
and it's going to run it's actually creating each of these files that
I have wanted to to mail out to all of the individuals
and it takes photoshop a few minutes to run through everything but it does a lot
faster than me having to go in and change each of the designs myself
now that it's done
I can go to that folder and I can find
all those photoshop images
and I can see
that it's actually created these photoshop image is right here
but what I want to do
is turn these all into
jpegs maybe I'm gonna put these on the web or somewhere different
or maybe the printer needs them to be a tiff
so now what I want to do is go to file
go down to scripts
image processor
and I'm gonna selected folder
and I'm going to choose the type of file I would like to save it as I'm going to
save it as a jpg
quality set to ten
and I'm gonna go ahead and run this
and making sure that it stays in the same location
and what photoshop is doing is opening up each up each of the files and is converting
it to a jpeg
so that we can use that image
so if you have a long list of a hundred thousand names this may take but
its good time to get up take a break stretch a little bit come back to your
let the computer do all the work
when it's done
you can then go and check
your document. it creates a folder for you called jpegs
and i'm gonna open up our custom mailer and see
so now I can go through and I can see
that my custom mailer has automatically changed the person's name throughout
to the different variables
the web address
the purple flashlight I can click through
and I can see that
the pictures changed again
the names of changed the pictures changed
the color, etc.
so this is a way that you can create custom designs to really draw the
attention of your client or your customers
without having to create an individual product for each person
now this is a basic example of what you can do by changing one color or by
changing in a few words you can get a lot more in depth by changing more pictures
maybe I have surveyed indicates twenty different colors that they like
or maybe we include pictures of things related to their interests or maybe even
change the entire design based on some of the data that we have
so this is some of the potential and power
using data merge inside of photoshop
my recommendation is to start with simple designs and work up from there
one thing I mentioned earlier is that when you're doing your designs you may
come up with some errors let me just demonstrate real quick one of the errors
that is very common when you're doing data merge in photoshop
let me open up our datamerge file
so one thing that happens let's say that I have gone through
and I have defined my variables
and i'm going to go ahead and define (I'm just going to do one right now to demonstrate the error)
texture placement let's say I called this "internet"
I'm going to go ahead and hit ok
Let me define my variables
variables data sets
let me import that same dataset
now if i go ahead and choose it
comes up with this error
could not parse the file contents as a data set there are too many variable
names in the first line of text file
what does that mean exactly it's kind of confusing at first when you get the error.
You may think, "what's going on"
the error is basically saying
that you have these three different data sets
and they don't match what you have here so that's something that's a little bit
different than when you do mail merge we do know merge maybe you have
more data fields than you need and you only use the ones that you need in
photoshop you can't have more were less than what you need you have to have the
same amount so what that means is wherever you define a
variable inside of
your documents you have to have the exact variables if you don't have these
variables or if the variable is off even by
a different capitalization of the letter
you may get that error so it's a little bit finicky just make sure that
you name everything clearly and that all your names match with your
variables they don't have any spelling errors between a variable name and
your dataset and by doing that you're gonna have much more success and your
going to be able to build designs that are going to draw the attention of your
client's much more
good luck and enjoy designing

In this week's installment of Ask the Expert, our panel of physicians answers injury prevention questions in preparation for the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon.
Q1. I have a nagging pain in my Achilles. What are some suggestions for treating this?
Dr. Mark Drakos: Achilles tendinitis is common in runners who have tightness in their calves. It's likely that the pain in your Achilles has come on gradually over time, and you may also feel pain when climbing stairs or after sleeping or sitting for long periods. Treatment depends on the length and severity of the symptoms. Your first strategy should be to try resting and taking anti-inflammatory medications to help quiet down the swelling. Wearing shoes that have a slight heel lift rather than flat shoes may relieve your tightness and pain.
Q2. In terms of soreness, what are some tips for recovering and feeling better?
Dr. James Wyss: Post-race recovery can be a long process that begins as soon as the race is over and ends up to several weeks later. Muscle soreness is a phenomenon that occurs when free nerve endings around muscle fibers detect noxious stimuli associated with cellular damage and breakdown following exertion. Taking the time to replenish and recuperate muscles before slowly transitioning back to regular activity will ensure a smooth recovery and increased ability to run at optimal levels later down the line.
Q3. What are the best ways to treat runner's knee and prevent it from recurring?
Dr. Sabrina Strickland: Runner's knee is a catch-all term for anterior knee pain, which is common in runners, particularly those who are increasing their mileage. It is felt while running, but also while walking on stairs and sometimes during prolonged sitting. The first treatment is to ice the knee, take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory, and cut back on running, especially on hills. Anything involving a squatting motion should also be avoided. Running in overly worn shoes can exacerbate the problem; keeping shoes up to date is a must.
Q4. Can acupuncture help with painful injuries or general soreness? Can it help improve flexibility?
Acupuncture is frequently and effectively used to treat painful sports injuries, including tight or sore muscles that may result from exercise. Although there is little evidence to conclude that acupuncture can increase flexibility, it can reduce the tight and pulling sensations within a painful muscle-to-tendon attachment, allowing reduced pain in a joint and less restriction of its range of motion.
Dr. Mark Drakos is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in disorders of the foot and ankle as well as sports-related injuries. He did his undergraduate work in biomedical engineering at Harvard University and received his medical degree from SUNY Stony Brook. Dr. Drakos is the author of more than 50 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and presentations involving orthopedics. He has directly provided care for high school, collegiate, professional, and Olympic athletes.
Dr. James Wyss, Physiatrist, specializes in the non-operative management and rehabilitation of common musculoskeletal and sports injuries. He has a special interest in spinal rehabilitation, interventional spine procedures, the use of ultrasound in musculoskeletal medicine, and injury prevention programs.
Dr. Sabrina Strickland is an orthopedic surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery's Women's Sports Medicine Center and at the HSS Stamford Outpatient Center, where she treats both male and female patients. Her research has focused on anterior cruciate ligament injuries in women, as well as rotator cuff repair and shoulder instability.

JERUSALEM (JWN and agencies)—Azeri security forces have arrested 22 persons who were trained and funded by Iran's Revolutionary Guard to carry out attacks on Israeli, Jewish, and American in the Azerbaijan capital Baku, authorities announced Wednesday.
"Twenty-two citizens of Azerbaijan were arrested by the National Security Ministry for cooperating with [Iran]," the Azeri National Security Ministry said in a terse statement.
Arif Babayev, an official at the Ministry of National Security, told AFP that the suspects were provided by Iranian intelligence with explosives and arms for attacks on targets including the Israeli Embassy and the Jewish Agency's offices in Baku.
According to Babayev, one of the suspects, Niazi Krimov, was recruited by an Iranian Revolutionary Guards official during a visit to the Iranian city of Mashhad. Krimov allegedly recruited other Azeris willing to take part in attacks for money.
Babayev said the would-be attackers were then trained in Iranian military bases near Tehran and the city of Karaj. He added that they were given a considerable sum of US dollars to carry out the attacks.
Azeri intelligence officials said the terrorist recruits were flown to Iran through Moscow and Syria to avoid suspicion over their visits to the Islamic Republic.
Just a day before the arrests were announced, Azerbaijani Defense Minister Safar Abiyev met with officials in Tehran on a goodwill visit, trying to smooth relations after Iran objected to Baku purchasing arms from Israel. He was quoted by Iran's official ISNA news agency as declaring, "We will not allow Azerbaijan's soil to be used against Iran under any conditions."
In addition to its displeasure over the arms deal, Iran accused Azerbaijan of allowing Mossad agents to operate from Azeri territory in order to gather intelligence on the Islamic Republic.

Uterine Cancer: Mutations Associated With Cancer Found in Endometriosis by 30Seconds Health
A study out in the New England Journal of Medicine is linking endometriosis with cancer. Findings from the study have identified cancer-related mutations in tissue taken from patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), a non-cancerous tissue.
The joint study between Johns Hopkins University, Maryland, and the University of British Columbia, analyzed DIE lesions from a combined 27 patients from both New York City and Japan. Researchers sequenced the exome of healthy tissue and endometriosis tissue and found in 19 out of 24 samples one or more mutations in the endometriosis tissue that were not present in the corresponding normal tissue of the same patients. Researchers concluded that DIE lesions, which virtually have no risk of malignant transformation, do contain somatic cancer driver mutations, which are in fact operators for cell growth and survival.
"The study proved what I have long suspected," said Dr. Tamer Seckin founder of the Seckin Endometriosis Center and the Endometriosis Foundation of America (EFA). "This is the first time that it has been demonstrated in a benign tissue that these cancer driver genes co-exist. In the past, we only identified mutations in cancer tissue. This study is the first time we see mutation sites in non-cancerous tissue." He says the study will open doors to further studies to confirm similar or more definitive findings and that there may be markers that are unique to cancer-developing attributes to some endometriosis cases.

Today I want to talk about an incredibly simple, yet still hugely effective tactic for selling on eBay called bundling!
Bundling is basically taking a product you sell and offering it along with another product (this could be an accessory or simply a related item) thereby creating a product bundle.
Easy, right!?
But you may be wondering what the point of doing that is? After all, if a customer wants to buy two items, then they'll just buy two items, right, so really there's not much benefit to bundling anyway?
There are a few very important benefits to bundling, such as:
- Increased order value
Broadly speaking, there are two ways to make more money online – get more customers or sell more to your current customers. Most people focus their time, energy and resources on the first option, but really option no.2 is much easier and offers much higher rewards! By encouraging your customers to order product bundles rather than single items, you make more in sales and ultimately – more profit!
- Reduced shipping cost
When selling online, the shipping charges can often make up the bulk of your cost when selling an item. By pushing your buyers to order multiple items in one go, you can drastically reduce your shipping cost per item!
- Increased convenience = higher conversion rate
When you present well thought out and worthwhile bundles to your customers, you make their online shopping experience easier and this results in higher conversion rates.
Let's say I am a parent searching for party hats for my son's birthday; I head to eBay and search for "20x star wars party hats" and the first few results are exactly that, packs of children's party hats… but then the third listing is for a complete Star Wars themed birthday set, including hats, cups, plates, balloons and wall decorations.
Terrific right!? Now I don't have to search for each of these items individually and can order them all from one seller! The pricing seems decent – maybe not quite as cheap as ordering from the cheapest seller for each one but it's hard to compare and I'm happy to pay a little extra in any case – so I go ahead and place the order.
And this actually brings me perfectly to the next big benefit:
- Create a unique offer – it's MUCH harder to price compare bundles
"eBay is all about the lowest price!"
You don't know how many times I get an email or message from my blog readers along these lines, complaining that it's impossible to be successful on eBay unless you're the lowest price, BUT, that's complete rubbish!
If you have to compete SOLELY on price, it simply means you're not selling smart.
And product bundling is a perfect example of this. If you offer bundles to your customers, you pretty much remove the pricing element as it's very difficult for people to compare pricing on bundles.
Let's go back to the Star Wars party set example. To find out how much that set would cost, a customer would have to search for each item individually, find the right quantity etc., and then add it all up.
Nine times out of ten, they won't bother to do that and as long as your pricing is reasonable, they'll order from you. Of course it goes without saying, but this doesn't mean you have carte blanche and can charge whatever you want, of course not! Customers aren't stupid and while they may be fine with paying a little extra for the added convenience, you can't charge double or triple what the items are worth.
But even if they do go through the bundle and add up the total cost for the items, most likely you'll come out on top anyway due to the reduced shipping cost!
After all, when searching individually, the shipping will be added in to the cost of each item, whereas for you and your bundle, it's spread out between them.
I hope that you're now starting to get excited and imagining the possibilities for your own business! If so, great, you're on the right track!
But rather than just leave you to it, I want to go over some different variations of product bundling and give you some real life examples. That way you can see that this method can be applied to pretty much any niche or product, you just have to think smart and a little bit outside of the box!
Alright, let's start with the simplest possible example of product bundling:
Offer multiples of the same product
Most eBay sellers are already aware of this, but it still surprises me how many still aren't.
This method works especially well for simple, household items – particularly if they're bulky or heavy (as that'll allow you to offer more of a discount based on postage).
In fact I have a perfect example for this myself, from when I was buying on eBay the other week. I was ordering some A4 writing pads and found the brand I wanted, with all sellers around £2 each. As I needed 10-20 pads (we go through a lot for business use!) I sent a quick message to a couple of sellers asking if there's a discount for ordering in that quantity as neither of them offered price breaks for multiples within the actual listing (if either of them had, I would've bought it from them straight away).
After a day I had an answer from both sellers, one offering a discounted price for 20 pads and the other one saying "our best price is already shown". So I ordered from the first seller and it was a true win-win situation; he made more money compared to me buying each pad one at a time, and I got a better price!
I know that this was just an anecdotal story, but please don't underestimate the effectiveness of offering discounts when ordering a larger quantity of one item.
Okay, on to our next examples and this is probably the most effective method of bundling:
Adding accessories/low value items to a big order.
This is something that big companies have been utilising for years! If you head out right now to try and buy a PS4 console, I can bet that the majority of places you look will be pushing bundles rather than just the standalone console.
After all, it stands to reason that if you're buying a PS4, you also need some games to go with it, maybe an additional controller, a PlayStation camera, a subscription to PS Plus etc., so why let other businesses make those extra sales when you can have them all!
Another great point about this specific bundling tactic is that when people are making a high value order, it is much easier to get extra sales from them then and there. If you are spending £350 on a console, then £50 (for an extra couple of games) doesn't seem like so much – as they're comparing it to the original £350.
Here are some more examples of this in action to get your mind rolling:
- Sell an exercise bike – offer an attachable water bottle or wireless headphones.
- Sell a blender – offer a juicing book or special glass container.
- Sell a tablet – offer a keyboard, case or dock to go with it.
- Sell a suitcase – offer a matching carry on bag.
And that brings us on to the next bundling tactic, which is a slight variation of the above:
With this tactic, the items you offer have to work very well together and be something that customers would generally be interested in. As the items are of a similar value, you have to get this right as it's harder than pushing them on to a slightly larger order as with the previous examples, but at the same time, it offers more reward!
Here are some examples:
- Sell a yoga mat – bundle it with resistance bands or a gym bag.
- Sell related vintage games together – a Pokémon bundle for example, with Pokémon blue, red and yellow.
- Sell Warhammer starter sets – bundle it with paints and paintbrushes.
I hope you get the idea here!
Coming up with bundles should be incredibly easy if you've been selling in the same niche for some time.
After all, nobody knows your market better than you. Go over past orders and see which items are frequently bought together and offer them as a bundle. Chances are if this combination of items interested some of your past customers, it'll interest others as well!
So many big companies realise the effectiveness of product bundling, Amazon and their "people who bought this also bought" are a perfect example, so don't get left behind and make sure you implement this into your own business. It will be much easier for niche businesses as you have more of an archetypal customer, but it can be used in pretty much every business!
If you have some bundling ideas that you want to run by me before you use them in your listings, or if you have any other questions about the topic, then please feel free to post below in the comments section and I'll answer you personally.
Otherwise, until next time!
All the best,

If imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery then surely Sarina Wiegman's suit says it all.
The England head coach claimed a second consecutive women's Euro trophy on Sunday, having guided her native Netherlands to glory in 2017.
Britain has exponentially taken notice of the steely blue-eyed woman who has guided the Lionesses to glory, surpassing even some of her own squad to become one of the most recognisable faces at this tournament.
That fashion editors have been telling admirers where to get hold of her pitch-side uniform, a dark £45 M&S blazer with matching trousers, paired with a white shirt and Nike trainers, says a lot about how quickly the 52-year-old's stock has risen since she took the helm last September.
The no-nonsense look, which has seen sales of her signature blazer rise by 140 per cent since last week, very much reflects the modus operandi of its wearer, who retained the same starting XI all tournament long.
"She looks calm, she looks cool, I've heard players talk about how honest she is with them," former Lioness Kelly Smith, who earned 117 caps for England, told the PA news agency.
"There's no BS, which some managers can give you. She's just, 'this is what you need to do. If you don't do this, then potentially you won't play, I need to see this from you'. It's very to the point, and I think the players have never had that before.
"And they're liking it, that it's kind of basic, but they're taking it on board. They just seem so unified and united."
The 'Sarina suit' was not the first significant style choice the former PE teacher has made over the course of her remarkable, record-breaking, glass ceiling-shattering career.
Before the trophies, the accolades, and this weekend's trip to the 'home of football' came 'The Haircut'.
There were no girls' teams available when Wiegman first started playing in hometown the Hague, but mixed-gender sides were forbidden. Determined, the future FIFA Best Women's Coach winner — the only woman to hold the title twice — chopped off her hair to better blend in with her twin brother and the boys.
"Sometimes, when people saw I was a girl, they made trouble," she wrote in The Coaches' Voice.
"Other times we got nice reactions. But most of the time it was hard to play."
Wiegman's breakthrough came at 16, when she was first selected for the Dutch national team and whisked away to China to play in a proof-of-concept tournament for a future Women's World Cup.
There, she met US women's national team coach Anson Dorrance, who also led the women's setup at the University of North Carolina. It did not take much to convince Wiegman, then frustrated with the Netherlands' commitment to women's football, to take her next steps Stateside.
She wrote: "In the Netherlands, it felt like we were always fighting for our place. Like we weren't accepted. I wanted more and I knew that, in the US, things were better."
Unfamiliarity gave way to comfort, then confidence, as Wiegman realised there were others like her, pushing for more and better in the game she loved. It instilled a sense of ruthlessness — a descriptor that has followed Wiegman to this day — in the young footballer.
She would go on to become the Dutch women's team's first centurion, earning 104 caps alongside two domestic titles with Ter Leede before retiring in 2003, when she began to balance PE teaching with coaching.
The mother of two was recruited by ADO Den Haag in 2007 to lead their newly-formed Eredivisie Vrouwen side, a job she insisted on only taking if it was made full-time. Seven years later she was back in the national team setup, this time as head coach Roger Reijners' assistant.
She also worked as a coaching intern with men's side Sparta Rotterdam whilst on her Pro License course, making Wiegman the first woman to coach with a Dutch men's professional club.
Wiegman was handed the Netherlands' top job permanently in 2017, just six months before she would guide the hosts to home Euros victory — the sea of orange-clad supporters, who have made their presence loudly known here this summer, a testament to how far the game had come and her role in it.
Some might suggest Wiegman seems stern and reserved. She was, after all, the person who unsentimentally named Leah Williamson captain when injured long-serving skipper Steph Houghton's status was still unknown, lending England some vital consistency in the tournament build-up.
But behind the crisp button-down is someone with a wry smile and an understated sense of humour, a woman who recently burst into giggles when asked if she was a 'serial winner' and has looked increasingly exuberant and generous with hugs after each final whistle.
The jacket was off and the shirt sleeves hitched up for Sunday's final at a red-hot Wembley, but the businesslike approach remained – along with a traditional Wiegman result.

Every holiday season, fires injure approximately 1,650 people in this country and cost Americans over $990 billion in damages. This is also the time of year when dropping temperatures and high heating costs cause Americans all over the country to turn to alternative heating sources – wood burning stoves, electrical space heaters and kerosene heaters are all common and reasonable alternatives to central heating, but all present their own particular fire dangers.
It would be easy to write thousands of words devoted solely to fire safety advice, and many people have done so. In a previous post, I linked to firesafety.gov's holiday safety page, but they offer a variety of resources for fireproofing year round and for all sorts of homes and situations.
Still, it seems timely and appropriate considering the recent fires and the unique dangers presented by both the season, to take the opportunity to offer some tips.
Wood Stoves: Wood stoves are the source of thousands of house fires every year. Always make sure that the manufacturer's instructions are followed carefully when wood stoves are installed, and each year inspect that the structure is still sound. Check for cracks and make sure the seams, hinges and legs are smooth and intact. Clean pipes and chimneys every year, and check for problems or obstructions every month.
Electric & Kerosene Heaters: In the case of both electrical and kerosene heaters, look for units with a UL approval symbol attached. This means that they have been approved by Underwriter's Laboratories, a national regulatory body. In the case of Kerosene heaters, check the legality of using them in your area. Always use Kerosene heaters in a well ventilated area and use only clear K-1 kerosene.
Fire Places: Clean your fire place's chimney frequently to avoid creosote build up. Burn only seasoned wood, not trash, green wood, or other inappropriate fuel. Always make sure the damper is open before starting a fire. Use a screen to catch flying sparks, and prevent logs from rolling away – it should large enough and sturdy enough to cover the entire opening.
With all these heating methods, keep flammable items away from them, and be aware that they are not driers, nor tables. Do not attempt to use them as such. Keep the area around them clear.
And remember this year, when disposing of your holiday tree, not to be tempted to burn it. The dry branches and needles should not go in fire places or wood burning stoves. Your tree should be fresh, green and resilient when you pick it out, and keep its stand filled with water. When your tree becomes dry, discard it promptly, and either taking it to a community recycling center, or hauling it away by a curb-side pick up. You should not attempt to keep a real tree for more than two weeks.
And, as always, have working smoke alarms. There should be one on every level of your home, kept clean and equipped with fresh batteries. Test them monthly to ensure that they are in working order. Know when, who and how to call for help in the event that your precautions fail and a fire does breakout, and make sure you and everyone in your household is aware of the escape plan.

Last week I explored how value or tone can create mood, this week, the next part of the chapter is how value defines the form or space by juxtaposing the light and dark tones to establish the position of the forms. In this activity, care needed to be taken about the placement of the dark and light tones to indicate the position of the form, In this case the cups.
The first step was to note how the light and dark areas created by the lighting allow us to see the cups as three dimensional forms. Then care had to be taken about placing light tones next to dark tones to create the position of the cups in front of one another., thus showing the spatial relationships between the five cups.
It was actually quite an analytical exercise which I enjoyed...

All over the world, cloud-based computing is enabling companies to increase their capacity, streamline processes, and add extra services. More organizations are making use of applications or services on-demand, such as cloud ERP. With a cloud ERP platform, users can access Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software over the Internet.
Compared to traditional on-premises systems, a cloud ERP system is more accessible and more mobile. Organizations can upload, monitor, and access data in real-time from any device, making it easy for departments to collaborate. You can also combine a cloud ERP system with CRM and PRM systems to receive real-time reports across multiple channels and leverage a central database.
In this article, we will examine some of cloud ERP's significant benefits and look at which industries cloud ERP has had a considerable impact.
Cloud ERP Benefits
Automatic Updates
With an on-premises ERP system, you can customize your software however you see fit. However, your implemented customizations may not re-implement with future versions of the software. The result is running your business on an outdated version of your ERP software. However, a cloud-based ERP receives automatic updates and upgrades. These upgrades happen rapidly and automatically carry forward your customizations and integrations to newer versions.
More Insightful Decision Making
Cloud ERP connects your team and channel partners to your enterprise resources quickly, no matter where they are in the world. Channel partners can take orders, manage inventory, and create reports on a single system. On-premises ERP systems often mean your departments are relying on separate systems to report revenue and expense numbers. However, Cloud ERP systems continuously update data and display accurate numbers for everyone in your organization.
Lower Cost
On-site ERP solutions can quickly become costly. There are higher investment costs upfront to purchase and manage software, and many companies end up hiring an IT team. If you are using multiple systems, the licensing and maintenance cost can add up in a hurry. In contrast, Cloud ERP solutions come with dedicated IT support. A recurring subscription fee includes hardware and software costs, which generally decrease over time.
Cloud ERP For Critical Industries
Retail & Distribution
When retailers and distributors need to sell products via multiple channels, they can rely on a solution like SuiteCommerce Advance. NetSuite's front-end eCommerce solution connects seamlessly to the back-end centralized database of NetSuite ERP. This setup gives you total transparency of your inventory and cross-channel customers. Because cloud ERP solutions collect all sorts of useful data, managers can make use of data analytics. Stores can better track customer buying patterns to improve overall performance which allows them to make strategic pivots using the real-time data.
Furthermore, the back-end operations such as inventory and warehouse management is further streamlined. NetSuite's Cloud ERP gives you real-time visibility into stock levels across all sites so you can optimize pick, pack, ship methods. Additionally, using pre-defined rules, you can automatically set orders to ship based on whole order inventory availability and location, eliminating the need for multiple shipments and extra charges.
A cloud ERP can reduce overall interruptions by alerting technicians of unexpected stoppages, such as when a piece of equipment fails. When manufacturers can monitor their equipment in real-time, they can perform predictive maintenance to cut down costs. Cloud ERP software also streamlines workflows for manufacturers, which frees up vital resources and cuts down production costs. With real-time data available, manufacturers can better manage their supply chain by leveraging data analytics and customized dashboards.
Field Service
A cloud-based ERP system sends accurate customer case information, and it can alert technicians on mobile devices. Technicians can respond to requests quickly and deliver more first-time fixes. Field teams can even provide remote repairs by combining an ERP system with augmented reality and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, technicians can use mobile devices to share screens with users and guide them through step-by-step repairs. Finally, ERP systems' real-time tracking enables field teams to plan out their actions, monitor equipment health, and take advantage of predictive maintenance.
Across global enterprises and remote workforces, cloud ERP platforms help companies make quick decisions in today's unpredictable business environment. Compared to traditional on-premises ERP systems, cloud ERP such as NetSuite offers significant advantages.
However, implementing NetSuite successfully across your organization is easier said than done. Choosing the wrong implementation partner can stop your digital transformation initiatives before they even get off the ground. That's why you need an experienced and hands-on consultant like Kodella.
As the 2020 Oracle NetSuite Partner of the Year, Kodella has over decades of collective experience implementing NetSuite solutions. With our help, you can plan and implement the right solutions to reduce process times, implement centralized company-wide data, and enhance overall collaborations. The result is a clear competitive advantage and a roadmap for success in an unpredictable world.

It took more than other traditional advertising media. To find out how and why this happens, let's first look at what digital marketing is. Use electronic media such as radio, television, mobile phones or the Internet to promote your company's products. For starters, the success of digital marketing may be due to the fact that almost everyone uses the Internet today and it is useful to advertise online for maximum presence. Digital marketing is also cheap compared to other forms of advertising such as print media. Overhead costs associated with other forms of advertising are not physically claimed. This is one of the attractions that drives many advertisers to choose traditional marketing methods.
Because of this huge popularity of marketing, many agencies have opened and consulted to solve the problems faced by many companies. These consulting agencies not only do this, but also advise and plan effective digital marketing techniques. Thus, digital marketing also contributes to the country's economic growth.
The latest trend in online marketing is the integration of social networks into the product image. Many online marketing campaigns now have a face book or Twitter page that shows how fast media and social media are being used.
Looking at the top four social networking sites, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and LinkedIn, it seems that the first media used to advertise in 2004 was MySpace. Although MySpace has the largest number of product or brand pages on its website, it has been overtaken by Facebook's growth and popularity in terms of ad campaign links at the end of 2007. It was then followed by Twitter. In 2009, Twitter has become the market leader for integrated emails containing references and pages on Twitter.
LinkedIn, which focused more on business ads than on integrated email ads, was out of the competition for consumer issues.
However, Twitter is still the hero when it comes to using social media for advertising. With the largest number of foundation-related emails, the company recorded a 388% increase in the first quarter of 2009. All of this shows how quickly advertisers and marketing professionals are integrating social networks.

As the second half of last night's Rockets game got underway, things were not looking good for the Rockets. Just four minutes into the 3rd quarter, Dwight Howard picked up his fifth foul and Donatas Motiejunas was forced to enter. Instead of the somewhat uninspired, lackluster basketball Motiejunas has treated us to this season, D-Mo played excellent in his most action of the season, making key defensive plays and running the floor as the Rockets came back against the Grizzlies.
As Chandler Parsons said after the game, "it wasn't pretty, but a win's a win." James Harden made 22 free throws, Chandler Parsons had a double-double, and Terrence Jones went 10 for 14 from the floor and the Rockets somehow pulled out the win.
Let's check out the highlights, courtesy of CSN Houston:

How To Test ABS Sensor? Here's How To Do It Right!
Are you familiar with ABS sensor? How about testing it? If you have a car, it is important that you are familiar with ABS sensor as anti-lock brakes are among the many systems that are considered to be all-or-nothing.
Why does it matter that you also know how to test it? Well, the same with an airbag system, once one part of the system is at fault, there is an assurance that the entire feature would disable itself. So, how to test ABS sensor?
What Is ABS Sensor? Important Things You Need To Know
But prior to the idea of testing the ABS sensor, you should first know what it is. An ABS or Anti-Lock Braking System is referred as an enhanced braking system that is commonly found in modern automobiles these days.
It is a type of tachometer which measures the rotational speed of the wheel and also passes it to the ECM of the car.
Knowing that all the wheels don't turn at the same speed, ABS sensors will report the speeds of all the four wheels to the ECM depending on whether the ECM identifies if the wheels are locking up.
When it comes to application, ABS brake is a lot quicker compared to the manual brakes. And because of this, once the ABS is engaged, it would emit a grinding noise in some cars. With the importance of ABS sensor, there is really a need that you test it properly.
Where is it located?
How would you test the said system if you aren't sure whether where it is located? So, you have to be familiar with the location of ABS sensor.
For the older configurations of the ABS, sensors are located outside the wheel hub within parts like the steering knuckle as well as differential housing. It is also coupled with a ring gear. This ring is also mounted on components like the brake rotor and the brake drum.
On the other hand, for the newer systems, ABS sensors are fitted in the wheel hub assembly itself. Based on the type of the braking system, cars might have as few as one or even up to 4 ABS sensors.
ABS Sensor Mechanism
Of course, knowing the mechanism of ABS sensor should also be considered. The ABS sensor would usually consist a toothed ring and also a ring magnet enclosed in the coil. The contact between them induces an electric field because the signal is generated.
Then this signal will be transformed into a digital signal and will be sent to the ABS controller. This controller will determine the speed of the wheel accordingly.
But bear in mind that these days, later models are indeed equipped with some kind of traction control wherein the ABS sensor is the key to controlling the movement of the car under any conditions.
Once there is a loss of traction, the speed of the wheel on one side would be different from the other one. And this case happens once the on-board computer could regulate the braking power of the car's wheels and then achieved the desired traction.
And so, the ABS sensor is definitely the main sensor which keeps the braking power of the car that is in check. This sensor will transmit the rotational information to the ECM signal wherein one of the tires is being locked up.
In this case, the computer would lower the amount of braking force being applied to the wheel that is in question. Once the braking force lowers, the wheel could now turn and so regain its grip as well.
Indeed, most of the modern cars have ABS sensors that interact with the electronic traction control systems as well as the stability control systems as for ensuring the safety of your vehicle and yours as well!
Signs Of Failure
And there are certain ABS sensor failure signs that you must also be cautious about. Indeed, over a period of time, exposure to road debris as well as other impurities could lead to failure of the ABS sensor. With this, it is crucial that you clean and inspects the sensors at intervals which are specified in the manuals.
One of the most common indications of a faulty ABS sensor would include the lighting up of the ABS light or the traction control light in the dashboard of the vehicle. The considerable loss of traction once you are driving on slippery road conditions is another symptom of a bad wheel speed sensor.
But always take note that the ABS sensor is not always the culprit rather the connectors or wiring could also go bad which fails to transmit the requisite signals to the ECM. So, prior to checking and also replacing the ABS sensor, it pays that you inspect the related components first or try testing it as well.
Items Needed
Prior to proceeding to the process of testing ABS sensor, you will need the following:
Personal Safety Items
These are the items that will keep you safe from harm once doing the test. These items are as follow:
- Work Gloves. These offer protection or an additional layer of skin avoiding cuts and keeping the grease from getting under the fingernails. It also grips better on metal surfaces.
- Eye Protection. This is a must once working on cars since many items like dirt as well as small pieces of metal which could fly into your eyes once hammering.
- Work Clothes. Indeed, grease and engine grim could ruin normal clothes so it is a great idea to have at least one pair of pants, shoes and shirt once working with cars.
Toolboxes and Tools
It is best that you are complete with tools needed as you test the ABS sensor. It would also be an advantage if the toolbox is complete with all the sets of tools such as the following:
Brake Tools
These tools are the specialized tools that are needed as for removing brake springs that are used for the rear brake shoe as well as parking brake shoe replacement. Some other brakes tools include these:
As for lifting the car off of the ground then support it correctly that is a safety issue. The needed sets of equipment are as follow:
And there are numbers of other things needed that should be included such as Fluids, Air Conditioner and Shop Supplies. Though not everything included in this list are to be used during testing the ABS sensor, still it pays a lot that you have a complete set of tools.
But for the most important part, the most important item that you will need is the VOLTMETER. The process that will be provided to you as to how to test ABS sensor will be using voltmeter as the main item.
Voltmeter is referred as an instrument that is used for measuring electrical potential difference in between two points in the electric circuit. So, if you want to test the ABS sensor first, never forget bring voltmeter with you.
How To Test ABS Sensor Using Voltmeter?
Finally, here we are! You will be provided with a guide on how to test ABS sensor. But before you begin, you should first park the car on level ground with the transmission in park and also the emergency brake set as well as the engine is turned off. This is an important step that shouldn't be ignored!
You might as well need to jack the car up as for removing a tire for testing purposes and jack stands could help you a lot. The process might require you to remove a tire in order to test and replace certain parts as well.
And for the steps on how to test ABS sensor, be guided by the following:
Step 1. Locate and remove the connector.
Look for the electrical connector from the certain wheel speed sensor that is near the frame in the wheel in most cases. You must not be confused by those other wiring harnesses which could lead down to the wheel like the brake pad wear sensor.
If already located, you need to disconnect the wire of the sensor at the connector through freeing the safety clasp and dragging it apart gently.
Step 2. Set up the voltmeter.
With the use of voltmeter having alligator clips, attach the voltmeter leads to the sensor. You must make sure that these test probes must not touch together or the sensor wouldn't be tested properly.
You must not also use those handheld probes since they could wiggle making the voltmeter readings to fluctuate that makes the process of testing a lot more difficult and could also offset the test.
If the leads have already been connected, set the meter to the AC alternating current voltage.
This meter would show AC voltage by the wave symbol in most cases. If the meter is turned on, it would swing down to zero volts. And now, the sensor is ready to be tested.
Step 3. Perform test.
As you observe the voltmeter, spin the hub or the wheel to create voltage. This will vary based on the speed in which the hub or the wheel is spun. Once the hub starts to spin, this voltage will rise and decrease once it stops.
Now, spin the axle or hub slowly that will produce the voltage. Once no readings could be found, the sensor has failed and so there is a need for a replacement.
Then, the ring should be rotated slowly in order to check whether there is a missing teeth or a possible damage. Known to be magnetic, wheel sensors should be checked for the metal shavings that might hinder performance around the sensor.
Once you've gone through all the steps and still there is a code for one of the sensors, the only other thing possible is an open circuit anywhere in the wiring that could be found by a pin to pin check that test the wiring.
Apart from that, you should also need to use a certain wiring diagram together with a voltmeter being set to ohms of resistance as for checking every wire from one end to another. This will definitely help in detecting a broken or a shorted wire, if repaired it must turn its light off.
Final Thoughts
Are you now equipped with the needed information about ABS sensor and how to test it right? I hope so you are! But take note that you have to be observant as you first drive the car right after testing its ABS system.
Aside from knowing how to test ABS sensor, you should also be cautious and extra careful for your safety. Indeed, testing the ABS sensor is very important as this system plays a crucial role for the entire function of your car.
Good to know that there are guides that will always help you in making the process of testing ABS sensor successful.
