In this age of technology, you can't just ignore the importance of software. These carefully developed programs offer additional help in making your business more efficient. This is especially more useful for small businesses, when you have limited resources but need to compete with larger businesses. If that is the case, you have come to the right place. In this post, I will introduce you to the 5 best software programs that are indispensable for any small business.
This amazing app allows your clients, friends or family to update your address book with their latest contact information automatically. The app developers claim that the app will enable your contact to maintain them. For instance, if one of your clients is also an Addappt user and gets a new cell phone number, it will automatically be saved in your address book.
In most cases, small business owners use multiple phones, tablets etc. And it takes some time to check out the notification, emails and other alerts on each of these devices. In cases like this, Pushover could be very useful. This handy app will gather all these in a single place. The unified inbox will be helpful in keeping track of everything going on in the devices. You can manage up to 7,500 messages per month, which should be enough for most people.
Not having enough time is a common problem for any business owner. While we all have the same 24 hours, some people manage to use it in a more organized way. And to do that, you need to use a dedicated solution like RescueTime. This excellent service allows you to keep track of your daily activities. You will have detailed reports for the day, week and month along with a productivity score. The premium version offers additional features like blocking specific websites and tracking offline activities.
When you are trying to make it work with a small business, keeping track of even the tiniest is very important. Instead of doing this manually, you should use a dedicated app like Expensify. Besides the manual entry, the app also allows linking up your debit or credit cart to track the transactions automatically. You can also take pictures of the receipts and process them later. The app supports more than 160 local currencies along with various taxes.
Most businesses require frequent traveling, either local or international. When you have to manage multiple connecting flights, book rental cars and the hotel, it becomes a burden for you. Luckily, you can use Tripit or other similar apps for planning the travel. The app will automatically collect the traffic, weather and other relevant data to make your trip more convenient. And the premium version offers additional features like real-time flight alerts, locating alternate flights, sharing travel plans, fare refund notifications etc.
Making use of the available technologies can make all the difference between a successful and a failing business. Now that you know which tools are required for your business, start using them and get your business changed forever.

Having sat through numerous sessions on how to make a website work, by making it appeal to readers and by making it appeal to Google, I am about to set forward on a tirade of personal disinterest towards the whole thing. Before going back, editing it so that I may get some more hits, adding […]

Practice of the Swiss Financial Market Authorities for Financing Banks
While the entry into force of the Financial Market Infrastructure Act (FMIA) on 1 January 2016 has brought a number of substantial changes to the Swiss disclosure rules, in particular with regard to the reporting of discretionary voting power related to equity securities, the takeover provisions contained therein have largely remained unchanged. This article examines the exemptions from (1) the disclosure duties related to significant shareholdings and (2) the duty to make an offer granted by the financial market authorities to the banks that provide financing facilities.

Legal Issues in relation to the Transfer of Tokens
The reliable and easy transfer of assets on a blockchain is a key prerequisite for the economic exploitation and development of new technologies. Asset transfers currently occur through the use and transfer of tokens. If tokens contain a claim against the issuer (e.g. the right to use certain services), then claims under applicable Swiss law must be transferred by way of assignment in accordance with article 164 et seq. CO, provided the tokens are not securitized or issued as book-entry securities.
This is the English translation of the article published by the authors in the IT Jusletter on 24 May 2018 which has been derived from the Position Paper on the legal classification of ICOs published by the Blockchain Taskforce of the Swiss Federal Council in April 2018.
By Rolf H. Weber / Salvatore Iacangelo (Reference: CapLaw-2018-30)
An Update on International Arbitration and Financial Institutions
Unlike other sectors, the financial sector has been reluctant to embrace international arbitration for resolving finance disputes. The ICC Commission on Arbitration and ADR created the Task Force on Financial Institutions to study the concerns of financial institutions. The study's findings were published in a report in December 2016. This article builds on the findings of said report and provides an update on the status of international arbitration in the financial sector.

On 22 November 2017, the Swiss Takeover Board issued a ruling regarding untrue or incomplete information with respect to the offeror contained in the offer prospectus published by HNA in connection with the public tender offer for all shares in gategroup.

IPO of Klingelnberg
Klingelnberg Ltd, a global leader in developing and manufacturing premium machine tools for bevel gear and cylindrical gear machining and precision measuring centers for gears, successfully priced its IPO and listed its shares on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Trading in the shares started on 20 June 2018. The shares of Klingelnberg were priced at CHF 53 per share, near the upper end of the price range, corresponding to a base offer of CHF 241 million. The offer price implies a market capitalization of approx. CHF 470 million leading to a free float of 56.6% (assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option), whereas the remaining 43.4% remain with the Klingelnberg family as anchor shareholder.
Issue of Senior Exchangeable Notes with Issuer Stock Settlement by Swiss Re
On 20 June 2018, Swiss Re Ltd completed an offering of USD 500 million 6-year senior exchangeable notes, which may be stock settled at the option of Swiss Re or may be exchanged at the option of noteholders for registered shares of Swiss Re, unless Swiss Re elects to settle the exchange of notes in cash. Swiss Re has purchased call options on its own shares, which allow it to settle an exchange by noteholders without issuing new shares.
Placement of Senior Convertible Bonds by Sika and Creation of Unitary Shares
On 15 May 2018, Sika AG completed the placement of CHF 1,650 million senior convertible bonds due 2025 to be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The convertible bonds were provisionally allocated to investors participating in an institutional book building. The allocation is subject to claw back by existing shareholders who may exercise their subscription rights. The offering closed on 5 June 2018.
IPO of Polyphor
Polyphor Ltd, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative antibiotics and other specialty pharma products, successfully priced its IPO and listed its shares on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Trading in the shares started on 15 May 2018. The shares were priced at the upper end of the price range, resulting in gross proceeds of CHF 155 million.
IPO of CEVA Logistics
CEVA Logistics, one of the world's leading third-party logistics companies, successfully priced its IPO and listed its shares on the SIX Swiss Exchange, where trading commenced on 4 May 2018. With a market capitalization of CHF 1.6 billion and generating gross proceeds of CHF 821 million, this is so far considered as the largest IPO on the SIX Swiss Exchange for 2018. In addition, CMA CGM, the third largest container shipping group in the world, has committed to make a strategic cornerstone investment in CEVA Logistics by purchasing CHF 379 million of mandatory convertible securities which will convert into shares of CEVA Logistics once certain regulatory approvals have been obtained. Simultaneously with the IPO, CEVA Holdings, the former holding company of the CEVA group, migrated from the Marshall Islands to Switzerland by way of a cross-border merger with CEVA Logistic as the surviving company.

Written by Kevin Vestal
"I really need to stop wearing my sorority clothes to this class," she said, narrowly dodging another murky splash. Although the sink's basin was deep, the smooth curves of her speckled palette provided the perfect bounce board up to her sleeves.
It was true. Abby Murray's gray Kappa Alpha Theta sweater had no business as a smock. Although she considered herself an artist, painting wasn't Abby's strong suit. She preferred the stage.
The rest of the class roster was comprised of 13 other theatre majors and minors. All are actors, not painters. So for most of the class, Abby and me included, the visual arts are a new frontier.
We all knew this class would hone our directing skills and we appreciated the instructor's occasional connections to lighting arrangements or set design, but it was not uncommon for the visual arts class to feel like a waste of energy.
Regardless of theatrical interests, the course was required. It didn't matter if we could barely color within the lines. There were no exemptions.
Painting was especially terrifying, as the permanence of acrylics caused most of us to cringe with every brush stroke. Mistakes when drawing could be corrected with an eraser, but paint was less forgiving.
To our credit, we had come a long way in four weeks. At first the weekly projects seemed increasingly daunting, the students hesitant to make a single mark in our sketchpads. But with each completed challenge came a boost in collective confidence.
A scrappy gallery of previous projects hung around the upstairs studio as a testament to our progress, reminding us of our newfound mastery of construction paper. Despite open windows, the stubborn smell of rubber cement lingered in the air.
At the helm of the class stood Gion DeFranseco, ready to soothe the impending panic from his next lesson. His gray tinted beard clashed with his bald sheen, the two evenly divided by a thick pair of glasses that framed the artist's eyes.
Gion had taught the course for over a decade and was used to dealing with disengagement from young actors. This semester's crop however was proving especially troublesome.
As usual, Gion began his class with a joke.
"I have a gift for you all," he said, flinging monochrome cards across each student's desk. "I wanted to show I value you."
This received a lively groan from the class, as did Gion's follow up.
"Or maybe I just wanted to throw shade," he continued, smiling wide.
On each card were ten hues of gray, arranged from white to black. Each hue contained a heart-shaped hole used to compare the value of our mixtures. By placing the card over our paint and squinting, we could compare hues and make realistic shadows.
"For this project you'll need to paint some spheres," Gion said.
Abby's eyes bulged.
Painting a 2D shape was one thing. We'd reached that level of artistry before kindergarten. Spheres however required a gradient of light to look realistic, which inevitably meant a range of light to dark colored paint.
The first step was simple: draw a circle. Granted, the shape I drew looked more like an egg, but after rounding the edges I pressed forward.
Josh Romero, the lone freshman in the class, came ready to paint. He wore a blue cotton t-shirt that was more expendable than Abby's sweater.
He squirted tubes of black and white paint into his plastic palette, leaving the rest of the rainbow for later. Using his mixing brush, Josh added a dab of black to his white glob and swirled them until he had a middle gray color that looked decent on his practice piece of Bristol board.
He had a fan of paint brushes to choose from, but settled on one that was round and thin: ideal for tracing curves. With a breath, Josh dipped it in his palette before making touchdown on his canvas.
So far so good. He cleaned off his brush and added the dark black shadow. Then he covered the center of his circle. Next, he tried blending the two shades, pulling the gray into the black and vice versa, just as he'd been instructed.
No luck. His acrylic was already dry.
"Try using a bigger brush next time," suggested Gion, his chin hovering just above Josh's shoulder. "It will cover more area so you won't have that problem."
Josh nodded. Knowing how long the final composition would take to complete, he wouldn't make the same mistake with his brush choice again.
While I'd opted for a wider brush and had finished blending before my paints dried, my gradient was far from flawless.
Gion's advice for me? "Your sphere is moody."
Sure, the gradient in my sphere was a little foggy, but I doubted a sequel would show improvement. Moody was passable.
Across the room, Abby's sphere started to look coherent, but it was still nowhere close to the quality of Gion's quickfire example.
"It doesn't look so bad from a distance," Gion said.
"If you say so."
Although she was still wrestling with her art's imperfections, Abby decided she'd fix the flaws another day. After filing away her illustration board in her locker, she returned once more to the splashing sink to clean her brushes and clear her mind.
Fridays were reserved for drawing, meaning all paint brushes would be cast aside for pencils. Thank God.
After two days of painting, a shift in gears was greatly appreciated. As Gion stretched an extension cord across the floor however, it was obvious that light gradients were here to stay.
"Oh, great, we're gonna have a lamp for shading," Josh said.
"Oh, I love shading. It's my favorite," Olivia said. "It either wrecks something I draw or makes it better."
Olivia, unlike many of her fellow actors, loved to draw. A sophomore transfer student, she regularly doodled in her notebooks and had made fast friends with Gion over their shared love of squeaky cheese curds.
"I see all your newsprints out. We're excited and ready to draw, aren't we?" Gion said.
"Heck, yeah!" Olivia chimed.
Gion plugged in two lamps, then rolled a 32-gallon trash can into the center of the studio and placed a wooden baseboard across its mouth. On top of this platform he stacked boxes, a familiar drawing challenge for his pupils.
What we were not ready for was the blanket.
"Oh I love drawing fabric. It's the best," Olivia groaned. "And by the best I mean the worst."
"I can almost detect sincerity in your voice," Gion chuckled.
Draped over the stack of boxes, the silky blanket had no definitive shape of its own. Its creases and ruffles were formidable foes, as were the various balls, cylinders and pyramids that Gion placed between them.
In order to get a feel for drawing the abomination, Gion led us through some warm ups. Dividing our canvas into four quadrants, we had 60 seconds to draw the shape. When the minute was up, we'd draw it again in 45 and so on until we ran out of quadrants.
This exercise required fast thinking and broad gestures with our pencils. There was no time to question the perfection of each line, let alone each shadow.
By the end of warmups, I had the general proportion of each shape drilled into my brain. Even the blanket was a pinch less scary.
"Those are some great shapes," Gion said. "Now on to charcoal."
After unboxing my three pack of charcoal sticks from Hobby Lobby, I was struck by how gritty they felt. They were about as thick as my pencil and left a black powder on my thumb.
I snapped a stick in two, offering Olivia my other half.
Abby grimaced as she grinded her charcoal against her paper. "I hate the way it sounds."
"That's fair," Gion said. "Charcoal is very chalky."
On Gion's mark we flipped to a new page and began our first of two larger sketches, each with a 20-minute timeframe.
Right away I drew the two spheres, doing my best to capture the light sources acting on them from both sides. The charcoal would still take some getting used to, but I was at least glad I wasn't using paint.
Next I moved on to the pyramids and boxes, leaving the blanket for last.
Gion encouraged us to break down the blanket into simple triangles and squares. "It's just shapes," he repeated.
Beside me Olivia was already done with her sketch and began shading a woman's face in the corner of her page. Once happy with the woman's eyebrows, Olivia slurped up the rest of her Starbucks, using her green straw as a spoon.
The rest of the class was in a fervor, scratching in extra details until the last second.
"Alright, charcoal down," Gion said.
Finally stopping to look at my paper, I was disappointed. The spheres turned out alright, but the boxes and cylinders had wonky proportions and the blanket was unrecognizable. In my effort to highlight value difference, I had neglected to pay attention to vanishing points: the diagonal lines needed to add dimension.
Although I had a chance to try again, progress seemed unlikely.
When rehearsing for a play, every rehearsal builds on what came before, ultimately leading up to a polished final performance. I'd definitely learned from my first attempt at charcoal drawing, but as I flipped over my sketchpad to start round two, I felt like I was starting over from scratch.
"Can we rotate this thing a little more?" Abby asked. She was vying for an easier angle to sketch.
"No, don't!" Josh said, praying that his own angle wouldn't get any more difficult.
Fortune favored the freshman. Gion made some minor rearrangements to the model, but Josh and I were grateful to be facing a significantly smoother blanket.
Midway through the second sketch, Gion made his rounds again, advising me to press harder on my canvas to make a darker contrast for my shadows and eliminate some of my shapes' blurriness.
Despite my pessimism, my second drawing had crisper edges and even hinted at a 3D effect. My charcoal stick had worn down to a nub, but it was worth the sacrifice.
"I like this," Abby said. "I've never used charcoal before but I like it a lot."
The rich array of smoky shadows on her paper was impressive, far exceeding her own expectations. Gion accredited this triumph to our unusually aggressive attitude that day, a step up from our typical timidity when drawing.
"Before you go, wipe down your area with a wet paper towel to get up any charcoal dust," Gion said. "Find someone you trust and ask them if you have any charcoal on your face."
The students laughed but just to be safe I splashed my cheeks off in the sink before heading to lunch.
Fourteen hours of painting had left Josh with a kaleidoscoped canvas, not unlike the dozen others already hanging to dry on cork boards around the studio.
Each canvas was identical in nature: four quadrants equal in size and subject but varying in color palette, Andy Warhol style. Instead of Marilyn Monroe or Campbell's soup, the quadrants depicted a simple pyramid and vertical prism, with a dreaded sphere nestled between.
The assignment, Gion explained, was meant to test the mastery of skills rather than creativity. For the shapes to look realistic, proper lighting was once again the key. Gion had thankfully provided a paint-by-number style cheat sheet that removed guesswork from the equation.
Josh had no difficulty with his first quadrant, which mandated the use of only black and white paint. With his trusty value card in hand, mixing and matching shades of gray was a snap. The polychromic quadrants however proved more problematic.
The second quadrant required the rest of his acrylics, save for black or white. Comparing the value of yellow to orange or green to blue required Josh to squint hard at his guide. He prayed Gion would agree with his judgment.
By the time Josh was finally satisfied with his rainbowed range of values, his palette was overflowing. Paranoid that his brush would run dry mid-shape, Josh mixed far more paint than he needed. There was no recipe for his mixtures, so mixing more of the exact hue he had made earlier would be impossible.
Six hours in, Josh wasn't taking any chances.
The third quadrant focused on saturation, limiting Josh to two colors that stood opposite the color wheel. He picked blue and orange. My own choice of red and green apparently looked too Christmasy.
As soon as he started mixing his middle value, Josh noticed that his card couldn't help him this time. Both the extreme light and dark values were vibrant and pure, with each step progressively diluted in intensity before finally meeting at a muddy brown color.
As Josh continued to paint, he had to remind himself that he was on the right track; the pyramid's shadow was supposed to be lighter. Nevertheless, the mental acrobatics of this task was nothing compared to the frustration Josh endured while painting his final quadrant.
Josh's fourth obstacle was the wash technique: creating ten different values out of just one color paint. He stuck with blue, his favorite color, varying its brightness based on the amount of water in his brush.
Turning up the volume on his cherry red headphones, Josh set to work.
Surprisingly, the sphere was the easy part. All Josh had to do to make a gradient was paint the bottom of the circle and use water to smear the paint across the canvas. It was simple and almost fun.
He did not find the same enjoyment while painting the pyramid. Whereas Josh had previously concocted a palette full of each value, the wash technique demanded a more improvisational approach.
Perfecting each value took up a bulk of his Saturday afternoon. Josh maniacally rehearsed each value against his practice sheet of Bristol board, comparing back and forth between previous trials until he would even consider committing a dab of acrylic to his final quadrant.
There was good reason Josh delayed this quadrant for last. It was brutal.
He arrived early to class on Monday to see how his canvas had dried. The colors appeared a little lighter than they had on Saturday, which was to be expected. Still, Josh was queasy.
His art now hanging alongside the work of his peers, Josh's scrutiny intensified. Although the assignment wasn't a competition, comparison was inevitable.
"At least I'm not the worst wash here," Josh said. "Not that I'm saying everyone else's is bad."
Josh's final work was soon joined on the corkboard by a few more doppelgängers, their artists scavenging for spare thumbtacks off nearby posters before retreating to their desks.
"Everyone looks wide awake today," Gion said, met by his students' raised eyebrows. "Everyone looks kinda sick today actually."
As Gion looked at the projects around him, he reminded the students that there was a variety of artistic background levels in the class and that individual effort was most important.
Just then a shout erupted from the other side of the studio wall: a reminder that just next door was the principles of acting class. Early in the semester Josh had thought about switching his schedule to learn acting with the other first-years, but Gion convinced him otherwise.
"Good theatre has always relied on the visual as much as the verbal," Gion said. "It also requires stepping out of your comfort zones. That's what this class is all about."
Since then Josh grew to enjoy the visual arts. Sometimes the workload was taxing, but it made him feel accomplished. In addition to the acting class, he decided to take Gion's scene painting class in the spring.
Abby and I enrolled in stage makeup for similar reasons. We may never be the next Picasso, but our faces would at least make a more comfortable canvas.

Forbes, Nov. 4, 2015
By Chloe Sorvino
For over four years a record-breaking drought has scorched central California with Old Testament cruelty. Drive west of Bakersfield into the heart of the San Joaquin Valley and soon you will be engulfed by sloping brown hills broken up by dusty, slate-colored fields. Desolate little towns off the highway dot the parched landscape. Lost Hills (pop. 2,412) consists largely of a tamale shack, a mostly empty James Dean-themed shop, a dilapidated tire store and a rundown pool hall.
Yet there is an Eden. It's a little to the west of Lost Hills, off Route 33. Here there are rows upon rows of green–some 70,000 lush acres of water-hungry pistachio and almond trees. Come at the right time of year and you'll see the almond trees blossoming, covering the valley in a blanket of light pink petals. This land belongs to the billionaire Resnicks, Stewart, 77, and Lynda, 72. It's the most valuable part of their $4.3 billion fortune. Those crops and the land are worth more than ever before, about $3 billion.
Their oasis has plenty of water, the result of relentless opportunism that has given their orchards access to more water than nearly any other farm during the worst drought on record in California's history. The Resnicks use at least 120 billion gallons a year, two-thirds on nuts, enough to supply San Francisco's 852,000 residents for a decade. They own a majority stake in the Kern Water Bank, one of California's largest underground water storage facilities, which they got fairly but sagely from the government 20 years ago. It is capable of storing 500 billion gallons of water. They have also spent at least $35 million in recent years buying up more water from nearby districts to replenish their supplies.
The Resnicks, who live in a nine-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills and fly into the valley about once or twice a month, are crafty dealmakers and even finer marketers. In addition to the pistachios and almonds, their company, renamed Wonderful in June, owns 32,000 acres of California citrus, flower-delivery service Teleflora, POM Wonderful pomegranate juice and Fiji Water, which collectively brought in $3.8 billion in sales last year. By their own estimates almost half of American households buy their products.
Not everyone is eager to fill their pantry with a Resnick brand. Agriculture's king and queen have a history of commandeering natural resources in pursuit of profit, and their actions in Fiji – where they annually fill millions of plastic bottles with water and then ship them thousands of miles across the world while residents haven't always had access to potable water themselves – have already infuriated environmentalists. Now they are being vilified in California for their water use in the ongoing drought. "Ninety-nine percent of us are being asked to take cuts for the 1%: Stewart Resnick," says Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, executive director of Restore the Delta, a Stockton, Calif.-based nonprofit working to protect fisheries and farms in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
Several anti-Resnick forces allege the couple's immense water supply is ill gotten. The Kern Water Bank and Westside Mutual Water, a company set up to control the Resnicks' water, have been sued three times since 2010. The water lawsuits – one reached an interim settlement, one led to environmental review and one is on appeal – have alleged that the Resnicks had no ownership right to the water bank and that the bank is dipping into their neighbors' water supply.
The Resnicks deny the allegations and say they are legally and morally in the right. "I don't even know what these are about, because my view is we're going to win," says Stewart Resnick. "We've been sued over the same thing over and over and continue to win. If I had a son who, God forbid, should go to law school, I would say go into water law. You get one lawsuit that lasts 20 years." He says that he simply invested in the storage facility at an opportune time and also cites the $25 million the company has spent on irrigation systems that reduce the use of water by dripping it directly on the roots rather than using sprinklers to flood the fields. Even with these water-saving measures, he says, Wonderful expects production of the superthirsty almond trees to drop 20% and pistachios to drop 60% this year. (It takes one gallon to produce just one almond or one pistachio.)

Virtual Classroom
There is no doubt that the virtual classroom is the wave of the future. Not only does it remove the aspect of travel from the educational equation - with the possible exception of having to retrieve books from the local public library - but it also saves considerable time for both the student and the instructor. By utilizing online college degree resources and a variety of telecommunications technologies, students are now able to pursue multiple interests while having enough time and attention for each one.
The Power of Telecommunications in Online Education
In this technological age, applying computer-based knowledge as a way to enhance education is essential if students of the future are going to receive their education while working full time and living their lives. There is no doubt that telecommunications on college campuses will expand at an exponential rate, offering substantial opportunities to enhance one's educational base. In light of this growing reality, it would behoove employeres to gain a better understanding of the entire online degree experience. They would soon realize that this non traditional approach actually provides a much better opportunity for learning.
"New technology continues to revolutionize business, education, health care, government operations and social service delivery. Access to technology can determine whether individuals and communities can participate in and fully benefit from the promise of American society in the next century" (Anonymous, 1997).
Telecommunications technologies are powerful educational tools, indeed. Their mere existence within an online curriculum can bring about significant changes, even if the particular components of that technology do not have any curricular composition themselves. The concept that must be fully understood, with respect to the overall educational strategies, is the fact that these strategies can greatly inspire or modify the direction of a student's course of study. This is especially pertinent when one is discussing the merits of telecommunications technology, as "the cumulative effect can be significant and yet still remain invisible" (Ehrman, 1995, p. 20).
Earning Your Online Degree
The millions of people who seek to earn online degrees clearly illustrate how the entire aspect of education has changed - and will continue to do so - with the inclusion of telecommunications in the virtual academic setting. It has come to the point where students no longer even have to set foot onto a campus in order to reach their educational goals. You can even earn your online high school diploma to get started, and continue on as high as you would like to go. Some employers consider this a positive move toward acquiring the necessary knowledge to further one's career; others look upon online education as wholly inferior to traditional educational methods.
Technological Advances Encourage the Convenience of Online Education
The convenience of such technology not only enables students to schedule school around their lives - which is just the opposite with traditional methods - but technology also allows more time for the student to digest the information. The student can take more classes than time typically allows when having to attend brick-and-mortar schools. No longer are they forced to abide by the instructor's schedule; rather, they now have the freedom to attend class by video conferencing or via the Internet, when they are fully prepared to pay attention and receive the lesson (Holzberg, 1997).
Without question, the student of today has a far greater arsenal of learning tools than the student twenty years ago. The primary benefit from these technological applications is how they remove stagnating boundaries that have always existed with higher education opportunities. It will not be long until each and every person will have access to "multipoint technology" (Anonymous, 1997) that will provide a full scope of educational benefits to both the student and employers alike.
Telecommunications technologies are assisting education in a number of positive ways; not only do they "promote career advancement [and] continued education" (Anonymous, 1997, p. D-1), but the various components - including distance learning, video conferencing, Internet access, interactive multimedia and knowledge-based systems - have all come to play an integral role in the educational advancement of students throughout the world. As students continue to reap the multiple benefits of obtaining their degrees online, so too does the rest of the world by having access to a better trained and significantly more astute workforce.

"There is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright." ~ Henry David Thoreau
Days like today challenge me to grab my camera and explore. Like a signature, every photographer has a unique perspective and tends to favor certain settings, subjects, colors, angles...yet, it's fun to push one's limits and experiment with exposure and focus. Although this photo is not my typical style, I'm so intrigued by the light, especially the magical bokeh in the changing leaves.
