Effective direct-to-desktop publishing requires a major change in the way you

look at the purpose of your newsletter

My opinion is that some publishers, and more especially email publishers,

they are the sellers first and the publishers second. That means they see making sales like

the primary purpose of publishing an ezine or newsletter. We all hope that our

publications will achieve that goal, but it should not be the primary purpose of

your publication. Instead, your post should focus on providing quality content.

the highest quality that establishes your credibility. you do it showing

your readers who know what they are doing, who are, dare I use the word, a

expert – a true expert – in his field.

This means that you should write as much as possible. If I

Realize that writing articles is hard work and takes a lot of time. that’s why we

the publishers use third-party articles. but don’t just post any article that

to receive. Use some discrimination. Only wear items that complement yours

content, which are appropriate for the focus of your own newsletter. and whatever

If you do, don’t just post the article as-is. Write a short introduction

establish your reputation, your credibility, not someone else’s.

The received wisdom is that newsletters should be used to promote your own

products and services. If you look at the vast majority of email newsletters,

that’s exactly what the editors seem to think is the purpose of their

Newsletter. In most newsletters, including many well-known ones,

You can hardly find the content among all the advertising. these editors seem

feel the need to push your advertising in the face. However, let’s see

what should serve as a model for all online publishers: your local newspaper.

Most newspapers do not fill every page of their publications with so many ads.

it can’t find the items. Most of the good ones tend to have a separate

advertising section. And the ads that do appear in the content sections are

presented in such a way that they do not interfere with the presentation of the

News. How long do you think your local newspaper would keep its subscribers if

overloaded news pages with ads? It is time for online publishers to change the

way we think. We need to move away from the newsletter-as-a-vehicle-for-advertising

model and switch to a newsletter model as a vehicle for quality content. Effective

Direct desktop publishing requires a major change in the way you view the

design of your newsletter.

Email publishers tend to publish discrete numbers of their newsletters in a

regular hours. The most common schedule is once a week. Each number contains

all the information that the editor wants to communicate to his

subscribers for that week. There are a couple of drawbacks to that format,

beyond the basic problem that this publisher is using email as its delivery

system.

The first drawback is the length. With a couple of items and half a dozen or

classified ads, along with regular information such as welcome,

required disclaimers with email, unsubscribe information, etc., which makes

for a rather long message. Most Internet users simply do not read the messages of that

length.

Yes, I could send more frequent short messages, but that only aggravates

exponentially the problems associated with email delivery. The more often you

send an email to your subscribers, they are more likely to close it due to

a spam complaint.

By using a type of blog format, you don’t do discrete problems. rather post

an article or its advertising or editorial on a given day. let’s say in

On Monday, he posts an article on RSS publishing, then on Tuesday he posts an

editorial about the upcoming elections, on Wednesday you publish a couple of

classifieds, on Thursday you publish an article about Christmas advertising and about

On Friday you post some more announcements. Let’s say this is the same content as you

have published in a discrete number, except for the disclaimers and the header

– the things at the top that identify your newsletter, you don’t need

post the header because it is always there on your blog. You do not need

to include all email disclaimers because you are not using email. Things

such as banners and welcome messages can be integrated into the

overall layout of your weblog as a sidebar, so they are always there. Someone

Going to your blog page will see them every time they visit.

Yes, even if you are using RSS as your delivery system for your

newsletter, your newsletter will have an HTML page as well as your readers

will visit each time they read a full article in your newsletter.

You see, the RSS feed will just carry the title as a link and the first

paragraph or two of your article, say the article about the RSS feed. each item

they will be listed separately in the same format. The RSS feed will hold up to

fifteen articles, the last fifteen articles you published. Any good RSS publishing system

it will configure all this for you and make all the necessary coding changes. Usually

You publish your article in HTML and the publishing system converts it to XML for you.

Doing everything manually is neither effective nor efficient, so I suggest you don’t do it.

that! The idea is to use RSS to make your life easier, not harder. more about these

systems later.

With the best publishing systems, you don’t even have to know much about HTML.

because they will allow you to publish your article as text and it will format the

line breaks for you. As long as you put a hard double jump at the end of each

paragraph of text, your article will look good. You can add bold or italics or

underline as necessary. But, the better your knowledge of HTML, the more creative you will be.

it may be in how your posts will look.

Also, if you have the necessary experience and tools, you can add graphics,

Flash, audio, video or anything else you want to animate your pages. Do not add

executable (EXE) files to your publications. That creates all sorts of problems for

its readers and is prohibited by most, if not all, publishing systems. Also if

add multimedia to your newsletter, I strongly recommend that you do so

that your reader can choose to see it or not. Not only is that courteous

to do, but it will also prevent you from blocking your reader’s account

computer. Although most people have fairly sophisticated computers these days,

there are still people who may not be able or want to see these

file types. Remember, your reader is in control here, not you.

Posting daily, which I consider the ideal schedule, can seem like a lot more

work, but really, once you get the hang of it, it really is less time

consume to do a big problem a week. Also, many email publishers have

redid text-based newsletters to avoid some of the filtering of

email that is going on. HTML email is often blocked or HTML is disabled

unless you specifically ask to see it.

Text newsletters are dull and boring. The Internet is a visual medium first and

major. Yes, it is for streaming content, but that content has to be

visually appealing to your readers. There is nothing attractive in a long text.

message using rows of unimaginative characters like #, @, * or others to test

to add some zest to all that text. If you want to keep your readers, yes,

provide them with a lot of great content, but also present that content in a way

that captures your imagination.

Finally, there is a very strong marketing reason for using a blog type of

Format. I’ll just mention it briefly here and explain it in detail in my next

RSS marketing blog.

You want new subscribers for your newsletter, right? That means you need to get

new people to see your newsletter, right? That means driving traffic to your

newsletter page, right? One of the best ways to do this is to make the search

engines like Google to crawl your newsletter every time you add a new item to

your blog. What would you say if I told you that there is a marketing tool that

could i do that? It’s called pinging weblogs.com… more on my next blog!

Why are lines of poetry measured in terms of feet? Will knowing this information be helpful in understanding rhyme and ratio in poetry as an art form? A resounding YES! is my best answer. Not only will you understand the why of it, but you’ll also have the tools to create the what (poetry) by applying the all-encompassing how to words to make them sing and dance across the page.

The natural rhythm of language lends itself to being measured in some way that is logical, if not memorable. Make the language deliberately rhythmic and it will seem creative, poetic, and perhaps even musical. Just as music has measurable entities in the form of notes and numerically valued measures, so too language, especially the language of poetry, has valued measures in its lines of compiled verse. Music names its values ​​in the form of fractional notes from the whole note to the penultimate 16th note, note 64, and beyond. But words are a different story. They need more than mere numerical values. They need substance from a classical heritage.
Thus, the measures of poetic units are clothed in the unique garb of Greek and Roman antiquity, a stable and unchanging system of labels that uniquely identifies and labels any combination of literary poetry and prose that may exist now and for forever. they have feet. This is not in the sense of twelve inches per foot or any specific reference to extensions of the limbs for mobility, the feet. It does refer to the fact that a foot is a standard unit of measure and those are the two requirements for its definition and application: standard and measure. Ready! The peerless foot emerges triumphant.

How hard must it be to find a viable system that is both effective and simplistic? It doesn’t have to be complicated at all, especially with a syllabic language that allows the natural flow of stressed and unstressed syllables to flow from the lips. Just as music is divided into barred bars with valued notes, so poetry is divided into metered lines with valued feet. Just as notes have names, feet also have names. Everything is logical and easy to remember once understood.

In this system, look at the number of syllables in a word; note the stress pattern on each syllable both alone and in the context of some made-up sentence; assigns a symbol to each syllable to indicate that it is stressed or not. Then find a pattern and give that pattern a recognizable and meaningful name. Attach that name to the established measuring device, the foot, and the poetic lines can be measured, described, and named for all posterity.

Remember that some words may have the stress on a different syllable depending on their multiple functions and/or pronunciations.

Take the word CONFLICT, for example. In a sentence, in can be a noun and the emphasis would be on the first syllable, CONFLICT. In another sense, it can be a verb and the stress would be on the second syllable, CONFLICT. [In this example, the stress is on the capitalized portion of the word and the unstressed portion is in the non-capitalized portion of the word.]

So where does the word feet come into play? Since each line of verse is measured, it stands to reason that it is measured via a recognizable measuring tool, the foot, which was used to measure distance. A mile was considered to be about a thousand steps, each step being a stride of two steps. Thus, a mile (short for mille passuum) stretched for about five thousand feet and was determined and measured as a Roman mile. Over time, the word foot became the measure of one of the types of labels assigned to a poetic unit. There are six that are in common use, although there are others that I won’t even go into.

Multi-syllable words will have stress assigned to one or more of the syllables in that word. This is how alphabetic languages ​​are built. The only remaining question is to determine which syllables are stressed and which are not. Look at the patterns that are possible. Two-syllable words can be stressed/unstressed, unstressed/stressed, both stressed, or, in context, both unstressed. Or use the terms long/short to represent accented/unstressed if that’s more understandable. Whatever the system you devise, make it consistent and easily recognizable. Whether it’s line/dot, green bean/pea, or banana/grape, it doesn’t matter. Something shows a stressed (long) syllable and something else indicates an unstressed (short) syllable. Make it workable for you. Nothing is set in stone.

The names of the patrons are already firmly established by the powers that be. They are the following:

The IAMB is the pattern that has a short syllable followed by a long syllable, or a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. The following words have a natural iambic pattern. Each would comprise one (1) iambic foot in poetry. become, adult, comment, behave, assault, impart, detract, involve, suppress

The TROCHEA is the pattern that is the reverse of the IAMB; It has a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one. It can also be considered long/short. These words have a naturally trochaic pattern. Each of them forms a single trochaic foot. beaver, eager, apple, preface, forward, aspect, mindful, appreciate

The DACTYL is a nice form that is applied to words of three syllables with a pattern of stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables. Words that fit this pattern follow. Each one constitutes one (1) dactylic foot in poetic meter. uniform, kindness, interview, joy, tears, happiness, arrogant

The ANAPEST is the inverse form of the dactyl. It has the pattern of two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable. Words that fit this pattern include the following. Each could be called in poetry an anapestic foot. intervene, seventeen, applied, incomplete, promised, interrupt, understand

Since the occurrence of this pattern is relatively rare, it is best represented in the composition commonly known as “The Night Before Christmas”, in which the pattern becomes musically obvious.

“It was the NIGHT before CHRISTMAS when EVERYONE in the HOUSE
not a CREATURE was REVOLUTIONIZING, not even a MOUSE…

Note the pattern of stressed (not capitalized) and stressed syllables characterized by CAPS.

The SPONDEE has its own drop-list of words that fit its pattern, but it is used primarily for transition or variation of effect within the line of the verse. Its pattern is two consecutive long syllables. These patterns are in words like the following and are called spondaic. aircraft, deadlock, forward, jump-shot, photo

PYRRHUS or DIBRACH consists of only two (2) short syllables and is used for the transition to other measures. Since all words by themselves have some accent, the removal of the accent comes in context with other words within a single line.

To determine what pattern a particular line of poetry has, simply count the number of bars (the poetic feet) in the line. Whichever has the majority is the name of that line. One line can be IAMBIC and another DACTYLIC or there can be three of one and two of another. The majority rules and always wins.

The final part of poetic line measurement is determining how many metric foot units are in a line. The Greeks have the words for this. They gave us the word for measure, which is meter. They have also given the terms to describe the number of feet per line. These are monometer, dimeter, quarter, tetrameter, pentameter, hexameter, heptameter, octameter, nonameter, and decameter.

Putting it all together results in an exact description of a line of poetry as it is scanned for measurement in number and types of metric feet.

Thomas Herrick has one of the only known cases of iambic monometer. Here it is in its entirety, “To your departure from here.”

so i
pass through,
And dies:
Like one,
A stranger,
And see:
I’m done
A tone,
And ugly
I grave it
there they have
my cellar,
where to say
I live,
Fired.

“‘Twas the Night Before Christmas…” is clearly an anapestic tetrameter having four anapestic bars per line.

Poe’s “The Raven” is composed of a trochaic octameter having eight (8) trochaes per line.

In order for you to compose and create, keep your letter in mind, carefully select the words, put them together like a puzzle and manipulate them to freely form whatever the musical rhythm of your message sounds like, a symphony that resonates in your mind. , heart and soul. There you go. That’s all you need to know about metric feet and poetic measures.

As I often say, day by day life becomes easier. Now we can buy what we want in the comfort of our home.

Technological advances versus the traditional: it is an ancestral dilemma. Which is better? Well, in the case of the debate between BIM design and traditional 2D design, even traditionalists vote for the obvious benefits of BIM design using CAD architecture services. As multiple layers of BIM design benefits are revealed, the way forward becomes increasingly clear. Determining how and why BIM design is a more desirable methodology could be vital to increasing profits in the AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry.

First of all, what do we understand by BIM design?

An intelligent 3D model-based process, Building Information Modeling, or BIM, provides AEC professionals with information and tools to efficiently design buildings and infrastructure, while adding data (information) to the models for use. later. The BIM process involves the creation, evolution, and monitoring of digital representations of the physical and functional aspects of building design. This process is enabled through the generation of BIM files that contain large amounts of data that can be viewed, changed, or communicated to all stakeholders in a project. BIM software can be used to design services for water, garbage, electricity, gas, communications, as well as roads, bridges, tunnels, etc. The BIM process is not limited to generating only 3D models, but can provide more dimensions, such as 4D (time), 5D (cost), and 6D (as-built operation). Since the BIM process covers a wide range of functions, its benefits are many.

Benefits of BIM Design

• Improved quality – At any point in the design process, BIM allows for a significant degree of flexibility. The layout can be thoroughly explored and changed. Manual verification and coordination time is minimized, allowing other tasks to be completed.
• Raised Speed ​​– Design and documentation can be done simultaneously using the BIM process. Therefore, schedules, diagrams, drawings, estimates, value engineering, planning, and other forms of communication are generated while the design process is ongoing, saving time.
• reduced cost – Smaller technical teams can handle work previously done by larger teams, reducing miscommunication and lowering costs. Thanks to higher document quality and more efficient planning, time and money are saved in processes.

And now, what is 2D design?

Design elements in 2D design, as the title suggests, are only represented in two dimensions, length and width. Typical 2D design documents consist of plan, view, and section.

The plan consists of the outline of the building, the rooms, the structural elements (walls, etc.), the furniture, the dimensions, the heights, the open spaces, the openings (doors, windows), all drawn to scale and as shown. I would see from above. Fixtures such as sinks, water heaters, ovens, etc., as well as construction notes, may also be included. Floor plans are required for views and sections.

A section is a 2D drawing of what a building would look like if it were cut in half vertically to reveal the interior view. You can show steps, doors, windows, etc. Section drawings and floor plans are to the same scale.

A view depends on the point of view. Usually there are front views, rear views, left and right views. A view will consist of floor section lines, visible structural elements such as doors, windows, balconies, walls, furniture, and even plants.

Benefits of 2D Design

As design moved from traditional paper drawings to digital 2D, sketches and drawings became easier and faster to generate and share. Working on a global scale became easier and more effective.

Disadvantages of 2D design

2D design is limited by its nature, and drawings cannot fully explore the wide range of design options adequately. Limited information or data can be included in the 2D design.

So how does BIM design compare to 2D design? Some of the key areas in which BIM design outperforms 2D design are:

Information

There is a wealth of data available, such as aerial imagery, digital elevations, and laser scans of existing structures, with a BIM design that can be compiled and shared in a model, unlike anything conveyed by 2D drawings.

Less reprocessing

Working on a shared model means there is less rework and duplication of drawings. With more information than a 2D drawing, each discipline can be annotated and connected to the project in the BIM design. With faster tools, BIM design allows you to host a database that helps stakeholders know when there are changes or updates, minimizing rework.

Greater collaboration

With a digital workflow, more features make it easier to collaborate with BIM design than with 2D design. Many of these features are delivered in the cloud, with BIM 360/Collaboration for Revit (C4R) being one of the solutions. All stakeholders can review and annotate input on project changes, increasing collaboration.

Accurate display

Simulation tools in BIM design allow you to see a project in different light conditions and calculate the energy performance of a building. Further analysis and modeling can be done for effective project design. Renders are easily created in 3D for marketing purposes and to gain approvals.

Improved conflict resolution

Elements from different disciplines may collide at some point, for example, electrical conduit meeting conduit or a beam. With BIM design, conflicts are identified at an early stage, which reduces conflicts on the site. This design method also helps ensure that precast components fit properly into previously designed spaces.

proper process

BIM design allows the design process to be coordinated and in the correct sequence, with the right materials and resources for greater efficiency.

work faster

Since the BIM design process involves sharing plans, sections, elevations, and reports and updates with the entire project team, the overall design process becomes faster than with a 2D design method.

easy accessibility

The BIM design model is connected to a large database, which can be hosted in the cloud. The use of BIM 360 software allows access to this information on any device, from anywhere.

more effective communication

When using 2D design, many separate documents are needed to get a complete view of the project. With BIM design, all documents are in a single view, allowing for better communication.

Ultimately, 2D and 3D CAD services BIM services Both are effective during the course of design, but the benefits of BIM services are too great to ignore. With the easy availability of offshore BIM consulting services, both 3D BIM design and consulting can be procured easily, reliably, and cost-effectively.

Android based smartphones and their applications are increasing day by day. There is a huge increase in innovative apps and games, utilities and business applications with each passing day. The market is booming at a rate of 32 percent every month, while there are at least a dozen new gadgets and smartphones appearing every 2-3 days. Industry insiders believe the rise is primarily due to the popularity of great smartphones, including Motorola Droid, certain HTC models, and the free, always-available, and open-source nature of the operating system.

Advantages of the Android platform

One of the main advantages includes multiple technologies such as GSM, EDGE, CDMA, Wi-Fi technologies for transferring data over mobile networks.
Complete design libraries with 2D and 3D graphics.
Image, audio and video libraries.
Much needed features including high resolution video camera, touch screen, accelerometer and GPS system.
Peer-2-Peer using Google Talk.
SQLite integrated module for data storage.
Signed applications and signing applications for publication

There are several mobile app development companies and Android development companies that can be found abroad in India, China, and the Philippines. Using the latest technologies and development tools, many Android programmers make the best use of the Android SDK and take advantage of the Open Source Simple programming language to produce innovative and inventive Android applications.

In recent years, Android developers have successfully created innovative applications within the Android framework and have also created third-party mobile applications for PDAs, Pocket PCs, and other devices.

Some of the general Android app development services include:

Our continued success in developing Android apps has boosted our customer satisfaction levels and given us relief with the extension of their already award-winning projects. We’ve also built apps related to the social media domain, including apps that make use of new hardware features like the accelerometer and motion sensors.

With a veritable flood of smartphones hitting the store next door and manufacturers responding by creating mobile-friendly web applications, mobile phones have become the ultimate platform for advertising. Games are one of the most popular ways to monetize mobile traffic and the iPhone has shown new avenues for monetization by opening its doors to third party apps.

Drawing more users into the GPRS space of mobile phones, the craze for social networking has led users to use their smartphones for more than just emailing, instant messaging or browsing. Facebook alone has 300 million users (as of December 9) and Twitter is constantly challenging them with similarly attractive numbers. Almost a quarter of all Facebook users connect via mobile phone. With such a large number, advertising options have multiplied and new ways to monetize mobile traffic have evolved.

To monetize mobile traffic

The different ways to monetize mobile traffic are:

* Mobile web banners and posters

* MMS Announcement

* Advertising within mobile games

* Full screen interstitials

* Audio announcements before voicemails, such as phone ticket reservations or directory assistance.

Still, games tend to be the most attractive app of all, and ads placed within games tend to have the best ROI. Interstitial ads that appear while users download or browse different apps also yield impressive ROI. By helping advertisers evaluate the best of these new options, the impact of an ad campaign can be measured by impressions (views) and click-through rates. Other matrices are also used, such as conversion rates and click-to-call rates.

Your best bet for monetizing mobile traffic

The best way to monetize mobile traffic is to offer interactive ads. Take for example; the videos have hot spots that can be used to launch the product page. In this way, advertisers not only give users control, but also generate more retention from their campaign. Other engagement tools, such as surveys or polls, can be integrated with the apps.

More than 3,000 Ontario festivals and events keep locals and tourists partying year-round. If you’re looking for reasons to celebrate, you’ll find more than enough here to keep you happy.

Some of the biggest festivals happen during the summer, when outdoor events take center stage.

Outdoor summer music festivals are huge. Big ones include the Toronto Jazz Festival, the Sound Festival at Parry Sound, the Sound of Music Festival in Burlington, the Barrie Jazz and Blues Festival, the Sunfest in London and the Festival of Friends in Hamilton. Many of these festivals have free admission or at least offer free concerts along with the paid ones. So they are very easy on your wallet.

Outdoor art festivals in summer are also a big draw when the weather is nice. Free to enter, Toronto’s outdoor art exhibit features more than 500 of Canada’s and world’s best contemporary artists and artisans and attracts approximately 100,000 visitors. Stratford also has craft shows along the river, and Barrie has a great arts and crafts festival called Kempenfest.

Autumn is also packed with festivals. Ontario’s largest fruit crop is grapes, and September is the time of the grape harvest. The Niagara Region toasts the new harvest with the Niagara Grape and Wine Festival. Kitchener-Waterloo hosts the biggest Oktoberfest party outside of Germany. The Balls Falls Thanksgiving Festival features crafts, food and family fun.

Ontario’s festivals and events don’t stop in winter. Ontarians enjoy the cold season with Ottawa’s Winterlude, Toronto’s Wintercity and, of course, New Year’s festivals, including the wacky Polar Bear Dip festival in Oakville. The giant, glowing animated figures at the Niagara Falls Festival of Lights will make you smile and warm up on a frosty winter day. Another safe bet is the Niagara Icewine Festival in the Niagara region.

The spring festivals are the best of all, because they welcome the return of good weather. Some famous Ontario festivals are the Maple Syrup Celebrations that appear throughout Southern Ontario. Bronte Creek in Oakville has a good one with guided tours, syrup and candy samples, a pancake breakfast, etc. The Ottawa Tulip Festival is about more than just flowers. It features concerts, one-of-a-kind crafts, readings, and more (and the outdoor concerts are free). Do you want the true scent of spring? Visit the Festival of Lilacs at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Hamilton and explore the world’s largest and most dizzying valley of lilacs.

If you’re a local, Ontario’s festivals and events are a great way to meet your neighbors. If you’re a tourist, why not plan your visit around one of these events?

Some people find it more convenient to create a new Facebook profile to sell their real estate. However, if you already have friends and family who are also contacts, you may want to just go with the profile they already have as a friend. In any case, setting up a Facebook profile to promote your real estate business is easy, but requires some thought.

Unfortunately, Facebook hasn’t gotten to the point yet where you can automatically designate specific posts or apps as not for sharing. If you have your wall open to the public or your news feed, you may want to make sure that anything you post is customer-friendly. This may mean censoring your and your friends’ contributions to your Facebook profile.

Setting privacy controls on your Facebook account will help make this a dual account for clients and friends. Depending on the nature of your contacts, you may want to designate certain areas as “for certain friends only” and similarly restrict who can contact you in certain ways.

Deciding whether or not you want to open your entire profile to the world depends on how accessible you want to be. You can always request a customer as a friend or give them their Facebook contact information to request. However, if you want people to be able to access your real estate information on Facebook, it might be a good business move to judiciously open some key parts of your profile to the public.

Your basic information is probably something you should keep for a select group of friends. Your clients don’t need preconceived notions about you based on what they can read about your sexual preferences, your religion, or your political views. Unless your goal is to sell real estate only to people of a certain religion, noticing that you’re a passionate follower of the Flying Spaghetti Monster can get people to walk right by you, even if you’re not actively proselytizing with them.

Your profile photos are good to leave open, but make sure they are professional and simple. Do not post photos of your family, your dog, or your tick farm. Your customers like to be able to see a clear photo of you, so they can recognize you. It’s okay to have a photo or two of your family in a different album (some people like to have a sense of connection to their real estate agent), but don’t go overboard.

The applications are difficult. Consider not adding too many frivolous. If you absolutely must have a few, place them at the bottom of your Facebook page, where only the certain ones go. And, whatever you do, don’t use them to contact customers. Attacking someone with your zombie is generally not a good way to convey a professional impression. The apps may also work for you if you install some good ones related to real estate, so take some time to go through them.

It is better that your Wall is hidden. Many spammers will use the Wall to place ads or phishing scams. Also, if your friends are using your wall, it doesn’t make a professional impression if they post things like “UR, that’s cool! I want to see you soon, sweetie!” Use your own discretion. Remember that customers can always use the Message feature to send you private messages to your inbox.

Keep an eye on your photo albums and keep yours personal on curated friend lists. The real estate albums which, of course, you’ll want to keep open to the public. Make sure that all the photos are correctly tagged and have some type of information. A link to your actual website listing is nice, but including as much information as possible can make a photo a better tool for driving people to your website.

The search function can be modified to display as much or as little information as you like. Since you are using this profile as a business tool, you probably want people to be able to contact you. Set Search Visibility to Everyone, create a public search list, and let people find information about you and send you messages.

Your News Feed and Mini-Feed should keep open. Anytime you change something on your profile, it will be noticed and is a great way to let people know what you are doing with your real estate without pestering them with direct messages. This can be modified to show people certain actions and hide certain actions. Play around with Facebook’s privacy controls to find the best combination. This is where you can hide updates to personal information that customers don’t need to see.

Use the Privacy Apps section to restrict views of anything else you don’t want people to see. It is up to you to consider whether they would benefit from knowing which groups you belong to or events to which you have been invited.

See your Facebook profile from a customer’s view. Block out anything that could leave a negative impression on them, but leave enough to give them a definitive idea of ​​your approach to your business. Facebook is an incredibly fast growing social networking site that is enhanced by its user friendly and professional looking design. It can definitely be a valuable tool when used to enhance a professional image.

aging is inevitable

Although aging is inevitable, the way we look, feel, and cope as we age is not. Aging affects each of us at a different rate and in different ways. Even within the same individual, each organ and organ system ages differently, influenced by genetics, environment, lifestyle, attitudes, social networks, spiritual connections, and overall health and well-being.

In infancy and childhood, we can be quite accurate in predicting physical growth and development at different ages and stages. But as we get older, there is no uniform schedule. Chronological age is not aging is inevitable

How do you know when you are old?

Stereotypical signs of aging

• You get dizzy when you stand up or bend over.

• Your joints and muscles ache all the time.

• You have itchy skin, spots, wrinkles and dryness

• Your body fluctuates between constipation and diarrhea

• You have poor muscle tone, tire easily, and often feel weak

• Is often irritable, moody, depressed, and generally unhappy

• You can’t remember what you did an hour ago.

• Has stopped learning or trying new things

The above symptoms are generally considered inevitable effects of aging, but they are actually signs of lifestyle deficiencies, injury, and disease.

Physiological changes and aging

Previous research on aging has focused on patients with illnesses and disabilities seen in doctors’ offices, clinics, or hospitals. What we have believed about aging, it seems, has been a reflection of the effects of the disease process and unhealthy lifestyle. Studies are just beginning to focus on active older people and the normal aging process.

• Aging is NOT a disease

Physiological changes that occur with aging do not necessarily cause disability. Aging does not inevitably lead to declining levels of heart function, bone density, muscle strength, cognitive ability and memory, sexual desire and activity, physical and social functioning, nor does it ensure increased levels of blood pressure, cholesterol, and anemia. But aging decreases the body’s ability to resist and respond to stress. As we age, we are less able to regulate pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen consumption, blood glucose, serum sodium, and blood ph levels under stress. Aging leads to increased difficulty in reacting to injury and the likelihood that the stress of injury will lead to acute or chronic illness over time.

• One Percent Rule

Beginning at age 30, most organ systems lose approximately one percent of their function each year. The percentage of loss does not increase as we age.

• The organs of the body age differently

The physiological state of any organ in our body is affected by the rate of change that organ has experienced multiplied by the number of years the change has occurred. As we age, changes in one organ do not predict changes in other organs.

• Dementia is NOT part of normal aging

Memory decline with age is common, but it does not inevitably lead to dementia, which is a disease. Dementia-like symptoms include hearing loss, confusion or disorientation, difficulty performing simple tasks and making everyday decisions, as well as mood swings and loss of interest in life activities.

*Staying healthy is often a lifestyle choice

Scientists and wellness experts alike are discovering that we are more than our genetic makeup. In fact, we influence our own aging processes through diet, exercise, stress management, rest, sleep, social activity, positive mental thinking, and spiritual connection. Staying healthy is often just a lifestyle choice and the choice is yours.
