ایی شده است که بیشتر آن ها به سمت طراحی سایت سوق پیدا می کنند . این نشان دهنده ی اهمیت وجود وب سایت برای مشاغل گوناگون است ، با افزایش وب سایت ها مبحث سئو سایت مطرح می شود . در واقع زمانی که رقابت بین مشاغل و کسب و کارها زیاد باشد موضوع سئو بسیار پر رنگ می شود. زمانی یک سایت در رتبه های نخست قرار می گیرد که از نظر سئو سایت عملکرد خوبی داشته باشد . امروزه شرکت هایی وجود دارند که علاوه بر اینکه در زمینه ی طراحی وب سایت به صورت گسترده فعالیت می کتتد در زمینه ی سئو نیزفعالیت داشته و دراین زمینه هم موفق هستند . لازم است یادآور شویم که بهینه سازی سایت و ارتقا جایگاه وب سایت بسیار تخصصی است و تنها افردی که  در این زمینه متخصص هستند و نسبت به این علم آشنایی دارند می توانند باعث افزایش جایگاه سایت خواهد شد . وظیفه شرکت‌های طراحی سایت شرکت‌های طراحی سایت در اصفهان ٬ کار را برای صاحبان وب سایت راحت کرده‌اند. شرکت‌های معتبر کارشان تنها به طراحی سایت خلاصه نمی‌شود بلکه وظایف مهمتری برای مطرح کردن یک سایت به‌عهده دارند. شرکتی در این زمینه موفق است که در حوزه‌های گسترده‌ای توانایی طراحی سایت را داشته باشد. مهارت در گستردگی موضوعات یکی از فاکتورهای موثر در این کار است. یک شرکت قوی علاوه بر طراحی سایت در زمینه‌های دیگری چون بهینه سازی٬ خدمات سئو٬ هاست و تبلیغات اینترنتی فعال است. به بهره برداری رسیدن یک سایت به نوعی نشان به نتیجه رسیدن است. شرکت‌های که دارای کادری متخصص و آگاه و سابقه‌ی درخشان در موضوع های متنوع هستند قابل اطمینان‌اند. یک شرکت طراحی سایت زمانی می تواند ادعا کند که به صورت موفق عمل کرده است که پروژه های موفق را به سرانجام رسانده باشد. یک شرکت طراحی سایت باید بتواند با مشاوره هایی که به مشتری خود ارائه می دهد ، مشتری را در مسیری درست قرار دهد به گونه ایی که او بتواند بهترین انتخاب و گزینش را داشته باشد ، بنابراین  بهتر است جلسات مشاوره به گونه ایی برگزار شود که تمام جوانب و زوایای  طراحی یک وب سایت و بهینه سازی سایت به صورت جامع و کامل برای مشتری توضیح داده شود . به طور خلاصه می توان گفت یک شرکت طراحی سایت خوب باید پارامتر های زیر را داشته باشد : باید چندین سال قدمت داشته باشد. باید حداقل 100 تا 200 مدل نمونه کار داشته باشد. وب سایت خودش ،وب سایت خوب و مطرحی باشد. باید اصول بازاریابی اینترنتی و اصول سئو و بهینه سازی سایت را بداند . اطمینان از شرکت طراحی سایت کیفیت یک سایت به معنی رضایت مخاطب است. سئو سایت اصفهان به ارتقاء رتبه‌ی سایت در گوگل اهمیت زیادی می‌دهند. کاربر امکان دارد یک خریدار باشد پس یک سایت موفق باعث رونق یک کسب و کار می‌شود. صاحبان کسب و کار توجه داشته باشند قبل از هر اقدامی از قرارداد واضح و روشن شرکت طراحی وبسایت مطمئن باشند. هزینه‌ای که مشخص می‌شود متعادل باشد و شامل هزینه‌های مخفی نباشد. به صورت معمول 25٪ از هزینه را قبل از اجرای پروژه دریافت می‌شود. شرکت های باتجربه دارای نمونه کار هستند و بهتر است قبل از اجرای قرارداد نمونه‌های مشابه را دید تا با سبک کار و کیفیت آن آشنا شد. همچنین از قبل باید زمان تحویل پروژه را مشخص کرد. یک شرکت قابل اعتماد شرکتی است که مدیریت بروزرسانی وب‌سایت را به‌عهده می‌گیرد و با توجه به تغییراتی که در الگوریتم‌های گوگل صورت می‌گیرد قابلیت ارتقاء سایت را داشته باشند.   شرکت های بهینه سازی   شرکت هایی در زمینه ی سئو سایت به خوبی عمل می کنند که در این زمینه دارای سابقه و مهارت و تخصص هستند چرا که کار بهینه سازی سایت یک کار تخصصی است . بهتر است قبل از واگذاری سایت برای سئو از قانونی بودن  سئو شرکت مطمئن شویم چرا که بار ها دیده شده است که شرکت ها توانسته اند که رتبه ی یک سایت را ارتقا دهند ولی بعد از مدتی آن را رها می کنند در این راستا شرکت هایی در این زمینه موفق هستند که به ابزار های تخصصی مانیتورینگ مسلط هستند و به صورت مداوم کار سئو و وضعیت سایت را بررسی می کنند . نکته ایی که در زمینه ی بهینه سازی وجود دارد این است که عملیات بهینه سازی سایت پایانی ندارد. و سوال اصلی که در ذهن همه ما بسیار پر رنگ تر است اینکه : هزینه سئو سایت من چقدر میشود ؟؟؟!!! هزینه سئو سایت یک هزینه ثابت و مشخصی نیست و با توجه به کسب و کارهای مختلف هزینه های متفاوتی خواهد داشت. آنچه که در رابطه با هزینه میتوان قاطعانه گفت این است که در هر موضوع فعالیت هر چقدر میزان رقابت بیشتر باشد به صفحه اول گوگل رسیدن هزینه بیشتری خواهد داشت. شرکت عصر آسیا با انجام پروژه های بسیار زیاد در زمینه سئو و بهینه سازی وب سایت تاکنون توانسته است وب سایت های متعددی را در صفحه اول گوگل قرار دهد. انجام سئو برای بیش از 100 وب سایت در اصفهان و قرار دادن آن ها در صفحات اول گوگل ، شرکت عصر آسیا را به عنوان قویترین شرکت در زمینه سئو سایت در اصفهان مطرح کرده است. چنانچه شما عبارت طراحی سایت اصفهان را نیز در گوگل جستجو کنید وب سایت شرکت عصر آسیا را در جایگاه اول گوگل میبینید که میتواند گواه ادعای ما باشد سئو سایت یکی از نکات مهمی که در طراحی سایت شرکتی باید رعایت شود ، سئو و بهینه سازی سایت است ، به این معنا که سایت شما در گوگل دارای رتبه می شود و کاربر با سرچ کردن خدمات و مصولات شما در موتور های جستجو می تواند به سایت شما دسترسی پیدا کنند .یکی از کارهایی که به روند سئوی سایت کمک زیادی میکند محتوای خوب است ، محتوای خوب باعث می شد که نتیجه ی سئو به خوبی رغم بخورد ولی کپی بودن متن و محتوا برای سئوی سایت نتیجه معکوسی دارد . بهینه سازی سایت بیشتر برای  شرکت های مطرح است که رقابت در آن ها بالا باشد ، چنین کسب و کار ها یی که رقابت در آن ها زیاد است حتما نیاز به بهینه سازی سایت و سئوی سایت دارند. به طور مثال شرکت ها و کارخانجات شهرهای صنعتی به دلیل رقابت بالا به بهینه سازی سایت نیاز دارند.طراحی سایت در تهران ، طراحی سایت اصفهان ، طراحی سایت در قم ،طراحی سایت در قزوین و….حتما باید همراه با سئو سایت باشند.     چند توصیه مهم: 1.هیچ وقت برای کاهش هزینه وب سایت به سراغ افرادی که بدون داشتن جا و مکان ثابت این کار را به صورت شخصی و سیار انجام میدهند نروید چرا که در آینده دچار مشکلات زیر خواهید شد: -عدم دریافت پشتیبانی مناسب و سریع که هم موجب اتلاف وقت شما میشود و هم باعث نارضایتی برای مشتریان شما خواهد بود. مشکلی که اکثر مشتریانی که به ما مراجعه میکنند دارند این است که چند سال پیش شخصی سایتی برایشان طراحی کرده و دیگر هیچ اطلاعی از وی در دسترس نیست. که در این صورت نه تنها طراحی که انجام شده از بین خواهد رفت بلکه حتی گاها دسترسی به دامنه ای هم که برای آن شرکت ثبت شده است و سالها روی آن کار شده و احتمالا بر روی کلیه بسته بندی ها و طرح های تبلیغاتی چاپ شده غیر ممکن است و عملا باید همه کارها از ابتدا انجام شود. -افرادی که با این مشکلات برخورد داشته اند نسبت به دنیای تجارت الکترونیک بسیار دلسرد شده اند و در مورد طراحی مجدد سایت بسیار دلهره دارند که این نگرانی بسیار بجا میباشد چرا که مار گزیده از ریسمان سیاه و سفید میترسد. 2.همیشه قبل از سفارش طراحی سایت هدفتان را از این کار مشخص کنید .و پس از آن متناسب با تعیین هدف و نیازهایتان وارد دنیای اینترنت شوید.اگر شما صرفا به دلیل شنیدن یک سری مطالب هیجان انگیز و تحریک اطرافیان تصمیم به راه اندازی وب سایت گرفته ایم مطمئنا ارزانترین و یا گرانترین وب سایت هم برای ما ثمری نخواهد داشت. نوشته انتخاب بهترین شرکت طراحی سایت اولین بار در یک برنامه نویس

است باعث دلسردی آنها شود . پس اگر همچنان میخواهید کسب و کار خود را حفظ کنید این مقاله از طراحی سایت اصفهان را مطالعه کنید . مشخص نکردن اهداف بسیاری از افراد هنگامی که میخواهند  یک سایت برای کار خود راه اندازی کنند، دقیقا اهداف خود را مشخص نکرده اند مثلا میخواهند سایت فروش تجهیزات ساختمانی داشته باشند ولی به بازار آن و مخاطبان  فکر نکرده اند و اهداف خود را مشخص نکرده اند . پس لازم است قبل از شروع هر کسب و کاری اول اهداف و همه جوانب آن را مشخص کرد و یک برنامه کسب  وکار کامل آماده کرد. عدم وجود برنامه کسب وکار اینترنتی برای آغاز هر فعالیت اینترنتی باید به همه ابعاد و جزئیات آن کسب  وکار اندیشید و برنامه ریزی درستی انجام داد. مثلا درباره امکانات و تجهیزات ، خطهای تلفن ، آموزش های مرتبط ، حمل و نقل و بسته بندی و … .  باید  همه این موارد را بررسی کنید و پیش از ان که در شروع کار خود با مشکلی روبرو شوید آن را برطرف کنید. کمبود زمان اگر شما در نظر دارید که در اردیبهشت به فروش برسید  باید از چندین ماه پیش شروع به کار و فعالیت کنید مثلا از آذر ماه شروع کنید تا به درآمد برسید .  اما برای رسیدن به درآمد و موفقیت باید شما هزینه هایی را نیز پرداخت کنید. همیشه برای رسیدن به موفقیت باید هزینه هایی پرداخت کرد. رعایت نکردن اصول سئو سایت سئو سازی سایت از اصطلاحاتی است که هر صاحب  کسب و کاری اطلاعاتی درباره آن دارد اما با وجود این هنوز هم سایت هایی وجود دارد که حتی اصول اولیه سئو در آن رعایت نشده و بعد از چندین ماه این سوال برایشان پیش می آید که چرا موفق نشدند ، پس لازم است بدانید که سئو سایت یک دانش تخصصی است و سایتی در این زمینه موفق میشود که همه الگوریتم های  گوگل  و تمامی نکات سئو را در آن رعایت کرده باشند. برای  اطلاعات بیشتر میتوانید مقاله سئو چیست؟ را مطالعه کنید. به روز نبودن سایت اگر سایت شما به گونه ای باشد که کاربر بعد از  ورود به سایت از آن خارج شود تمام زحمات شما هدر رفته ، پس برای جذب مشتری باید سایت خود را مرتب آپدیت کنید و ظاهر و محتویات  و محصولات سایت را به روز رسانی کنید.حتی به روز کردن تصاویر سایت و وارد کردن تصاویر جدید برای محصولات میتواند بازدیدکنندگان بیشتری را به سایت شما رهنمون کند. به جای مشتری فکر کنید بسیاری از افرادی که کسب و کاری را شروع میکنند آن چیزی که به ذهن خودشان میرسد را انجام میدهند و اصلا خودشان را جای مشتری نمیگذارند که این درست نیست.گاهی لازم است ما از دریچه ذهن مشتری به سایتمان نگاه کنیم و سایت را با توجه به سطح فکر مخاطبان طراحی کرد. باید آن کاری را انجام داد که مشتری نیاز دارد . البته به این نکته توجه کنید که تنها نیاز مشتری کافی نیست بلکه باید کاری را انجام داد که رفاه اجتماعی انها را تامین کند. عدم توجه به آمار های سایت بسیاری از افراد صاحب سایت زمانی که با مشکلی روبرو میشوند به سراغ آمار بازدید سایت خود میروند اما این مشکل را حل نمیکند و شما به عنوان صاحب یک کسب و کار انلاین باید به طور مرتب آمار بازدید سایت خود را بررسی کنید تا از مشکلات احتمالی آگاه شوید و بتوانید آنها را برطرف کنید. عدم توجه به مشکلات فنی سایت بسیاری از افراد که کسب و کار اینترنتی دارند مشکلات فنی و خطاهایی که در سایت می بینند را نادیده میگیرند ، در صورتی که این مشکلات میتواند بر سایت و فروش آن کسب  وکار تاثیر منفی داشته باشد. که در این موارد پشتیبان های سایت میتواند به شما کمک کند و اقدامات لازم را انجام دهند. امیدواریم این مقاله از طراحی سایت در اصفهان توانسته باشد به صاحبان کسب و کارهای اینترنتی و یا کسانی که قصد راه اندازی کسب و کاری را دارند کمک کرده باشد. نوشته ۸ اشتباه متداول صاحبان کسب و کار های اینترنتی اولین بار در یک

و یا واحد فروش اشتباه میگیرند. تفاوت های بسیاری بین این مشاغل است و هر کدام نیاز به یک تخصص و تجربه میباشند. شغل ویزیتور به این معنا است که افرادی ک دارای فن بیان و روابط عمومی خوبی هستند محصولات و یا خدمات شرکتی را از طریق تماس تلفنی و یا ارتباط حضوری به مشتریان احتمالی میفروشند . اما واحد بازاریابی به این معنا است که بازاریاب با کسب اطلاعات از بازار کار و تحقیق و مطالعه و… سیاست های تبلیغاتی و نحوه فروش محصول به مشتری احتمالی را طراحی و بررسی میکند و به مدیرعامل شرکت ارائه میدهد.  شرایط بازاریاب یک بازاریاب خوب باید یک سری از خصوصیات ، تخصص ها و تجربه کافی را داشته باشد تا بتواند برای شرکت مفید واقع شود. تصور افراد از یک بازاریاب خوب این است که باید روابط عمومی بالایی داشته باشد . در حالی که این مورد تنها یکی از خصوصیات است و تنها با داشتن روابط عمومی بالا نمیتواند یک بازاریاب مفید باشد. از دیگر مواردی که یک بازاریاب خوب دارد ، هوش بالا ، اعتماد به نفس ، خلاقیت ، روابط عمومی خوب ، حتی تن صدای واضح و خوب میتواند در بازاریابی اثر گذار باشد. تشخیص بازاریاب خوب معمولا شرکت ها برای

]]> طراحی سایت در اصفهان قصد دارد در این نوشته شما را با یکی از مفاهیم اصلی در دنیای تجارت الکترونیک آشنا کند. خدمات و سرویس های هر وب سایتی در جهت کسب درآمد نیازمند بازاریابی اینترنتی و دیجیتال مارکتینگ است. در علم سئوی سایت و بهینه سازی صفحات یکی از راه ها و ابزارهای مهمی که بایستی مد نظر داشته باشید استفاده از صفحه فرود یا اصطلاحالندینگ پیج است. تعریف، انتخاب و طراحی یک صفحه فرود مناسب کمک شایانی در افزایش نرخ کلیک و تبدیل کاربران شما به مشتری خواهد شد.   صفحه فرود یا لندینگ پیچ چیست؟ صفحه فرود یا همان لندینگ پیچ (Landing Page) صفحه و یا دروازه ورود کاربر به سایت شماست. به عبارت دیگر صفحه فرود یک صفحه از سایت است که نقطه فرود کاربر به سایت است. مثلا یکی از راه های دیده شدن صفحه فرود در بنرهای تبلیغاتی با انتقال کاربر به صفحه فرود سایت است. باند فرودگاه Landing Page نامیده می شود و جایی است که توسط برج مراقبت به خلبان اعلام شده و درآن فرود می آید این وجه تشابه و علت نام گذاری صفحه فرود است. مدیر سایت حکم برج مراقبت و صفحه ای که پس از کلیک کاربر یا همام خلبان  به آن وارد می شود صفحه فرود است. انتخاب و کلیک کاربر و فرود آن به سایت هدفی را به دنبال خواهد داشت. مثلا فروش محصول ، ارتباط با کاربر و یا کلیک بر روی یک لینک خاص می تواند هدف یک صفحه فرود باشد. از این رو صفحه فرود را صفحه هدف نیز می نامند که باعث افزایش بازدید و به همراه آن افزایش فروش می شود. طراحی کاربر پسند یک صفحه فرود شما را به هدفتان نزدیک تر خواهد کرد. مقاله نحوه انتخاب کلیدواژه را مطالعه کنید اهمیت صفحه فرود هر صفحه ای که در سایت شما ایجاد می شود الزاما صفحه فرود نیست. ممکن است صفحات خاصی از سایت صفحه فرود باشند و شاید صفحه اصلی شما صفحه فرود شما تعیین شود. در مواقعی که کاربر با کلیک بر روی بنرهای تبلیغاتی، موتورهای جستجو، شبکه های اجتماعی و یا بنر شما در دیگر سایتها وارد سایت شما می شود هیچ تصوری از سایت و محتوای آن ندارد. از آنجایی که این صفحه دروازه ورود کاربر به سایت است و کاربر نیز در پی هدفی اقدام به کلیک می نماید در اولین برخورد با سایت شما تصمیم به ماندن و بازدید از دیگر صفحات و یا ترک سایت می کند. بنابراین این صفحه جدایی از زیبایی و ظاهر جذاب بایستی کاربر را به سمت هدف مورد نظرش هدایت کند.   یکی از اصول اصلی سئوی سایت مشخص کردن صفحه فرود مناسب برای کاربر است. سئو سایت اصفهان را مطالعه کنید صفحه فرود می تواند خارج از طراحی کلی سایت و چارچوب آن، طراحی و ایجاد شود. در این حالت دست شما برای طراحی و نمایش اطلاعات مربوطه به کاربر باز بوده و هزینه و زمان کمتری هم برای طراحی صفحه فرود لازم است. در طراحی صفحه فرود به یاد داشته باشیم کاربر قبل از دنبال کردن ما جذابیت و پیام موجود در صفحه فرود را دنبال خواهد کرد و پس از آن ما را دنبال می کند.   انواع صفحه فرود Opt-In Landing Page: این نوع از صفحات فرود بدون داشتن قسمت های هدر، فوتر و سایدبار طراحی می شوند. Click Through : این نوع صفحات فرود هدفشان تبدیل کاربر به مشتری است و اصولا برای معرفی و یا توصیف محصول طراحی می شوند. این نوع صفحات فرود سعی در متقاعد کردن کاربر سپس کلیک روی لینک خاص و هدایت آن به صفحه ای خاص را دارند. Lead Generation : در این نوع صفحات فرود در فرمی اطلاعاتی از کاربر مانند آدرس ایمیل و مشخصات آن دریافت می شود. در ازای دریافت اطلاعات از کاربر خدماتی مانند سمینار آموزشی رایگان، کتاب الکترونیکی رایگان و غیره ارائه می شود. مدیر سایت با شرح خدمات ارائه دهنده خود کاربر را به پر نمودن و ارسال اطلاعاتش ترغیب می کند.   دکمه فراخوان دکمه فراخوان (Call To Action) که به اختصار CAT نیز گفته می شود، دارای اهمیت زیادی است و در بسیاری از صفحات فرود هدف کلیک بر روی این دکمه است. بنابراین چیدمان، طراحی و مکان نمایش این دکمه بسیار حائز اهمیت بوده و بایستی به گونه ایی ایجاد شود که زمینه کلیک کاربر را فراهم کند. این دکمه درخواست هایی مانند دانلود فایل، عضویت در خبرنامه و یا پر کردن فرم را در بر دارند. در طراحی این دکمه و جذب مشتری از روانشناسی رنگ می توان استفاده کرد مثلا رنگ نارنجی بهترین رنگ برای CAT است. مقاله طراحی سایت وردپرس اصفهان را بخوانید نمونه ای از بهترین دکمه های فراخوان در سایت اینستاگرام و فایرفاکس       برخی نکات مهم در طراحی صفحات فرود عدم استفاده از لینک های خارجی و دور کردن کاربر از هدف اصلی و ترغیب آن به سایت مربوطه رعایت نکات مربوط به سئو داخلی ریسپانسیو و سازگار بودن صفحه فرود با همه دستگاهها دادن پیشنهاد ویژه به کاربر استفاده از دکمه Call To Action جذاب در صورت امکان طراحی منحصر به فرد و عدم استفاده از هدر، فوتر و سایدبار طراحی منحصر به فرد برای هر صفحه فرود بسته به هدف آن ایجاد امنیت و ترغیب کاربر در ازای دادن اطلاعات و ایجاد یک رابطه دو طرفه ساده و سریع کردن مراحل ثبت نام برای کاربر کپی نکردن محتوای دیگر صفحات سایت در صفحه فرود تکرار پیام ارائه رایگان محصول یا خدماتی به مشتری پایبندی به تعهدات استفاده از اعداد و ارقام مانند ارائه آمار استفاده از ویدئو کلیپ استفاده

تکنولوژی ، افراد جامعه به سوی اینترنت و فضای مجازی روی آورده اند. اینترنت یک راه ارتباطی بسیار قوی است که اگر به صورت درست از آن استفاده شود مزایای بسیاری دارد. یکی از راه هایی که افراد میتوانند از طریق اینترنت کسب درآمد کنند و سود ببرند طراحی سایت است. مهم نیست که شما یک شرکت بزرگ را اداره میکنید یا یک شرکت کوچک ،مهم نیست که شما به تنهایی کار میکنید ، با طراحی سایت میتوانید به کسب و کار خود رونق داده و مشتریان زیادی جذب کنید. از این رو شرکت طراحی سایت در قم در تلاش است تا سایت مورد نیاز شما را طراحی کند. سایت فروشگاهی : آیا میدانید یک سایت فروشگاهی چه ویژگی هایی باید داشته باشد؟ سایت فروشگاهی به سایتی گفته میشود که مربوط به یک فروشگاه و کسب و کار تجاری است.به صورتی که از طریق سایت بتوان از آن فروشگاه به صورت آنلاین به خرید محصولات فروشگاه پرداخت. این سایت ها باید یک سری از ویژگی ها را دارا باشند. راه اندازی یک سایت فروشگاهی مانند راه اندازی یک شعبه جدید است با این تفاوت که این شعبه جدید برای همه قابل دسترس می باشد. موفقیت در سایت فروشگاهی: طراحی و راه اندازی یک سایت از اقدامات اولیه برای رونق کسب و کار است . باید دقت داشته باشید زمانی که شما سایت را راه اندازی میکنید فقط خودتان و مشتریان قبلی فروشگاه باخبر میشوند. برای اینکه فروشگاه خود را به همه افراد معرفی کنید باید سعی کنید تا سایت شما در صفحات اول گوگل جستجو شود. بنابراین نکته مهم بعد از راه اندازی سایت ، طراحی یک سایت فروشگاه ، بهینه سازی ، ارتقا سایت در نتایج گوگل می باشد. گوگل جایی است که روزانه میلیون ها نفر نیاز خود را در آن جستجو میکنند که اگر شما بتوانید سایت خود را به صفحات اول گوگل برسانید یعنی توانسته اید سایت خود را به همه معرفی کنید.و شاهد جذب مشتریان باشید. نکات مهم در طراحی سایت فروشگاهی: در طراحی هر نوع سایتی باید یک سری نکات مد نظر قرار گیرد .طراحی سایت قم سعی دارد برای یک فروشگاه اینترنتی ، سایتی را طراحی کند که بتوان در کمترین زمان ممکن بیشترین محصولات توسط کاربر دیده شود. در سایت فروشگاهی باید امکان خرید و فروش به صورت ساده و سریع قرار داشته باشد. از موارد مهمی که در سایت فروشگاهی باید حتما به آن توجه کرد این است که فروشگاه اینترنتی از نماد اعتماد الکترونیکی استفاده کند.تا بتواند اعتماد مشتریان را جلب کند. سئو سایت فروشگاهی: اولین و مهم ترین نکته در رابطه با سایت فروشگاهی بهینه سازی سایت و قرار گرفتن در صدر نتایج جستجو گوگل است. برای اینکه سایت بتواند به این نقاط قوت برسد موارد بسیاری تاثیر گذار است مانند نام دامنه ، موقعیت هاست و… که این کارها از وظایف یک شرکت طراحی سایت است. پس قبل از اینکه با شرکت طراحی سایت قرار داد ببندید در مورد تخصص شرکت  در زمینه بهینه سازی وسئو سایت  تحقیق کنید. انتخاب دامنه مناسب: همانطور که گفته شد دامنه سایت از موارد مهم است .برای انتخاب دامنه سایت سعی کنید دامنه ای کوتاه باشد و به صورتی باشد که در ذهن بماند. شرکت طراحی سایت در قم به شما بهترین گزینه برای انتخاب دامنه را پیشنهاد میدهد. گرافیک سایت: پیشرفت یک سایت فروشگاهی به این است که کاربر از استفاده از سایت راضی باشد. سایت فروشگاهی باید کاربر پسند و ساده باشد تا کاربر بتواند به راحتی به موارد مورد نیاز دست بیابد.و از موارد بسیار مهم که کاربران به آن نیاز دارند این است که سایت طوری برنامه نویسی و طراحی شده باشد که با استفاده از تبلت و موبایل هم بتوان به سایت دسترسی پیدا کرد. نوشته طراحی سایت فروشگاهی اولین بار در یک برنامه نویس پدیدار شد. ]]>

Općoj skupštini Ujedinjenih naroda govori upravo o „Novom svjetskom poretku”, i to u kontekstu niti manje niti više već digitalnog identiteta, valja se zapitati postaje li još jedna “teorija zavjere” stvarnost? Naime, Ibrahim Hadejia, zamjenik šefa kabineta nigerijskog predsjednika, rekao je: „U novom svjetskom poretku digitalni identitet više nije samo pitanje utvrđivanja toga tko smo; on je postao temelj preko kojeg građani pristupaju javnim uslugama, sudjeluju u digitalnom gospodarstvu, ostvaruju financijsku uključenost te komuniciraju s državama i institucijama.” "In the New World Order, Digital Identity is no longer about establishing who we are; it’s the foundation through which citizens access public services, participate in digital economy, benefit from financial inclusion, engage with govs" Nigeria Dep Chief of Staff Ibrahim Hadejia — Tim Hinchliffe (@TimHinchliffe) September 22, 2026 Zašto visoki državni dužnosnik govori o „Novom svjetskom poretku” kada govori o digitalnom identitetu? U istoj rečenici, kontekstu? I još važnije, što digitalni ID zaista predstavlja? Da li je samo elektronička osobna iskaznica, kao što nas se uvjerava, ili je nešto mnogo više i šire, jer u istoj raspravi direktorica nigerijskog NIMC-a opisala je njihov NINAuth digitalni novčanik kao sustav koji je zamišljen kao jedna prijava za pristup državnim i privatnim uslugama, uz mogućnost prekogranične interoperabilnosti. Ako pratite temu digitalizacije, digitalnog ID ili digitalne valute, onda prekogranična interoperabilnost nije novost za vas, ali je pitanje vidite li širu sliku? DIGITALNI ID NIJE IDEJA OD JUČER Ovo nije počelo 2026. Ideja digitalnog identiteta nije nastala preko noći. Korijeni sežu u prve godine interneta, kada su vlade i korporacije shvatile da digitalnim prostorom treba “upravljivi identitet” na način da se svaki korisnik jednoznačno prepozna, prati i usmjeri, a nakon napada 11. rujna 2001., zapadne zemlje počinju graditi sustave nadzora u ime borbe protiv terorizma. Biometrijske putovnice, baze otisaka prstiju i centralne evidencije postaju standard. U isto vrijeme tehnološki divovi (Microsoft, IBM, Oracle) razvijaju koncepte „digitalnog ID managementa“, ideju da svaka osoba ima jedinstveni digitalni identifikator koji može koristiti u svim online uslugama. S razvojem pametnih telefona i masovnim prelaskom poslovanja i administracije na internet, pojavila se potreba za jedinstvenim “loginom”. Google, Facebook i Apple postaju privatni davatelji digitalnog identiteta — kroz funkcije “Sign in with…”. Time su prvi put korporacije, a ne države, postale “čuvari identiteta” milijardi ljudi. I tako se oko 2015. godine pojavljuju međunarodne inicijative koje povezuju državni i privatni sektor u izgradnji globalno interoperabilnog sustava identiteta: ID2020 Alliance (osnovana 2016.) – partnerstvo između Microsofta, GAVI (Globalne alijanse za cijepljenje, financirane od zaklade Gates), Accenturea i UN-ovih agencija. Cilj: „osigurati digitalni ID za svakog čovjeka na planetu“. World Economic Forum (WEF) – u svojim dokumentima o „Četvrtoj industrijskoj revoluciji“ i „Digital Identity Frameworku“ otvoreno govori o digitalnom identitetu kao temelju buduće ekonomije, zdravstva i upravljanja građanima. Svjetska banka pokreće program ID4D (Identification for Development) s ciljem da do 2030. godine svi ljudi imaju digitalni identitet, posebno u zemljama u razvoju. A ono što se događa zadnjih godina, od WEF-ovog izvještaja pod nazivom „Social Implications of the Metaverse”, u kojem se digitalni identitet razmatra kao važan element pristupa obrazovnim, financijskim i društvenim mogućnostima, do izjava čelnika i rada EU na implementaciji digitalnog ID manje više je poznato. A razvoj ide dalje. Digitalni identitet. Digitalni novčanik. Interoperabilnost. Digitalne javne usluge. Digitalna plaćanja. Financijska uključenost. KYC i e-KYC. Razmjena podataka. Umjetna inteligencija. AI agenti. I sada dolazimo do mnogo većeg pitanja: Što se događa kada se sve to počne međusobno povezivati, i to na međunarodnoj, planetarnoj razini? Ako digitalni ID omogućuje pristup javnim uslugama…Ako digitalni novčanik nosi različite vjerodajnice… Ako različiti sustavi mogu međusobno komunicirati…Ako se financije, zdravstvo, obrazovanje, porezi i druge usluge digitaliziraju…Ako AI može obrađivati goleme količine tih podataka…hoće li nastati sustav koji ne samo da zna tko smo, nego može gotovo u stvarnom vremenu povezivati ono što radimo kroz različite dijelove društva, i ne samo na razini države, već država? Da li je upravo iz tog razloga Ibrahim Hadejia, zamjenik šefa kabineta nigerijskog predsjednika o digitalnom ID govorio u kontekstu “Novog svjetskog poretka?”. Dakle jedne svjetske vlade, jedne svjetske valute? I tako dolazimo do sljedećeg pitanja. TKO ĆE UPRAVLJATI UMREŽENIM SUSTAVOM? Zamislimo budućnost u kojoj različiti digitalni sustavi mogu međusobno razgovarati. Država sa državom. Država – Banke. Država – Zdravstvo. Porezni sustav. Obrazovanje. Putovanja. Digitalna imovina. Trgovina. Digitalna plaćanja. Javne usluge. Država – Privatne platforme. A iznad svega toga umjetna inteligencija i AI agenti koji mogu obrađivati podatke, komunicirati između država, sustava i izvršavati određene zadatke. Jer ali ako govorimo o smjeru razvoja digitalne infrastrukture i interoperabilnosti, savim je legitimno pitati “Hoće li sustavi jednog dana biti međusobno povezani i komunicirati gotovo neprekidno?“ Hoće li AI agent moći provjeriti naš identitet? Naša prava? Naše dozvole i zatim samostalno izvršiti određenu radnju? Hoće li to biti trenutak kada možemo reći da je uspostavljena jedna svjetska vlada (NWO)? Trenutak kada je stvorena nad-država sa AI na čelu? Tehnokracija? Već smo pisali o ovoj temi, i mislim da je odgovor jasan. Ovo su pitanja kontrole i moći. Jer svaka infrastruktura koja postane neophodna za svakodnevni život dobiva određenu moć nad onima koji o njoj ovise. Zato pitanje za neupućene nije samo „Koliko će digitalni sustav moći učiniti za nas?” Nego, „Koliko će čovjek moći učiniti bez njega?” A ŠTO AKO KAŽEMO NE? E tu dolazimo do možda najvažnijeg pitanja od svih. Što s čovjekom koji kaže NE? Što s onim tko ne želi digitalni ID? Hoće li moći normalno koristiti javne usluge? Hoće li moći otvoriti račun? Putovati? Koristiti zdravstvene usluge? Kupovati? Primati novac? Obrazovati svoju djecu? Hoće li postojati stvarna alternativa? Ili će alternativa formalno postojati, ali će s vremenom postajati sve teža, sporija i skuplja? A što s čovjekom koji prihvati digitalni ID, ali odbije nešto drugo? Ako kaže NE određenom medicinskom postupku? Ako odbije određeno cijepljenje? Ako ne želi biometrijsku identifikaciju? Ako ne želi dijeliti određene podatke? Ako ne želi koristiti digitalno plaćanje? Ako želi koristiti gotovinu? Ako ne želi da odluku o njemu donosi algoritam, da li će moći birati čovjeka umjesto algoritma, AI agenta? Što s čovjekom koji želi izaći iz nekog digitalnog sustava? Da li će moći reći NE, i nastaviti normalno živjeti? Jer prihvatiti jedan digitalni identitet ne znači pristati na sve što će se jednoga dana preko njega moći povezati. Zato moramo postaviti pitanje prije, a ne nakon što infrastruktura postane neizostavni dio života, a pitanja je bezbroj, odgovora i garancija nimalo: Hoće li svaka pojedinačna uporaba zahtijevati našu jasnu suglasnost? Hoćemo li moći promijeniti mišljenje? Hoćemo li moći povući suglasnost? Hoćemo li imati pravo na alternativu? Hoćemo li imati pravo zahtijevati ljudsku odluku umjesto algoritamske? Hoćemo li moći živjeti bez digitalnog ID-a bez da izgubimo osnovna građanska prava? I konačno: Ako kažeš DA digitalnom ID-u, da li ćeš moći bez posljedica reći NE vlasti? Ili će NE značiti isključivanje iz sustava, društva? Jer sloboda nije samo mogućnost reći DA. Sloboda mora uključivati i mogućnost reći NE. Bez kazne. Bez isključenja. Bez gubitka osnovnih prava. Bez toga da čovjek postane „nekompatibilan” s društvom zato što nije prihvatio određeni digitalni sustav. Zato pitanje nije samo što tehnologija omogućuje, već i što moguće onemogućuje, poput jednostavnog NE! Pitanja je još milion, a to bi trebao biti dovoljan razlog da se digitalnom ID, kojeg se, usput rečeno, naša vlada obvezala uvesti do kraja godine, kaže jasno NE, baš kao što su Britanci učinili! Sve o digitalnom ID i Tehnokraciji možete pronaći OVDJE i OVDJE DODATAK Što se tiče održavanja reda, vojske, valja reći da je sam tehnološki sustav militariziran i mogao bi funkcionirati ovako: AI zapovjedni sustavAI bi mogao objedinjavati obavještajne podatke, satelite, senzore, dronove, kamere, uređaje i komunikacije te pomagati pri donošenju odluka. Autonomni dronovi i robotski sustaviBespilotne letjelice, kopnena vozila i drugi autonomni sustavi mogli bi obavljati izviđanje, logistiku, nadzor i, u nekim okolnostima, borbene zadaće. To ne znači nužno „roboti-vojnici” poput znanstvene fantastike. Globalna mreža nadzora i senzoraSateliti, radari, podmorski senzori, dronovi, komunikacijske mreže i drugi izvori podataka mogli bi stvarati gotovo kontinuiranu sliku događaja. Cyber-vojskaU suvremenom ratovanju vrlo važan dio „vojske” već može biti sposobnost napada i obrane računalnih sustava, komunikacija, energetskih mreža i kritične infrastrukture. Jedinstvena digitalna identifikacija i autorizacijaU hipotetskom globalnom sustavu mogla bi postojati infrastruktura za provjeru identiteta i ovlasti vojnika, službenika, sustava i AI agenata. AI agenti koji koordiniraju različite sustaveOvo je možda najzanimljivija mogućnost: ne jedan „superrobot”, nego mreža AI sustava koji koordiniraju logistiku, obavještajne podatke, obranu, komunikacije i resurse. Ako se države sve više povezuju kroz zajedničke digitalne sustave, hoće li se jednog dana povezivati i njihove sigurnosne i vojne infrastrukture? Hoće li „svjetska vojska” budućnosti uopće izgledati kao vojska kakvu danas poznajemo? Ili će njezinu najveću snagu činiti ono što ne izgleda kao vojska: AI, sateliti, dronovi, algoritmi, cyber-sustavi i autonomne platforme? Ako postoji jedna svjetska vlast, tada očito prijetnja nisu “druge države” već nezadovoljni građani, a tada rat, a samim time i obrana poprima drugačiji oblik i sliku prema javnosti, koja se već nadzire danas. U tom slučaju prijetnja može biti definirana kao: terorizam → ekstremizam → cyber-prijetnja → organizirani kriminal → dezinformacije → pobuna → destabilizacija → prijetnja kritičnoj infrastrukturi.

Jer problem nije samo u djeci. Platforme od kojih danas vlasti kao pokušavaju “zaštititi” djecu, istodobno su dizajnirane tako da i odrasli beskonačno skrolaju, stalno provjeravaju obavijesti, traže novu nagradu, gube koncentraciju i sve teže ostaju duže vrijeme uz jednu misao. Beskonačno skrolanje. Automatsko pokretanje videa. Push obavijesti. Streakovi. Algoritmi koji uče što nas najviše zadržava. Sadržaj koji se neprestano prilagođava našim slabostima i interesima nisu slučajni elementi dizajna, već ciljani, zašto se onda njima ne pozabave vlasti? Europska komisija je upravo zbog takvih elemenata 2026. pokrenula postupke protiv TikToka te preliminarno utvrdila probleme s dizajnom Instagrama i Facebooka, navodeći između ostalog, upravo beskonačno skrolanje, autoplay, push obavijesti i personalizirane preporuke. Zašto onda razgovaramo o provjeri dobi umjesto o namjerno dizajnu društvenih mreža? Jer smjer bi trebao biti ukidanje i zabrana elemenata platformi, a koji stvaraju ovisnost i gubitak koncentracije kod svih uzrasta, ne samo kod djece. Cilj bi trebao biti zaštititi sve, ne do određene dobi već za života. AKO SU DRUŠTVENE MREŽE PROBLEM, ZAŠTO NE PROMIJENE NJIHOV DIZAJN? Kako? Tako da Feed ima kraj. Tako da se video ne pokreće sam. Tako da se ukinu obavijesti koje vuku čovjeka natrag na mrežu. Izmjenom algoritama koji nagrađuju bijes i beskonačno zadržavanje. Omogućavanjem kronološkog feeda i više stvarnog sadržaja, a manje mamaca za pažnju. Što nije samo dobro za djecu, već i za odrasle. Jer ako je nešto štetno za dječju pažnju, nije zdravo ni za odraslu, što možemo jasno vidjeti u vlastitoj okolini. Zato bi pravi put trebao biti mijenjanje platforme, a ne provjera dobi. Jer ako platforme izbace manipulativni dizajn, da li problem još postoji? Ako platforme ne uzrokuju gubitak pažnje i koncentracije, ne stvaraju ovisnost, da li su problem? Put koji vidimo odabiru vlasti je put uvjetovanja korisnika, koji na kraju i dalje dobiva štetan manipulativni sadržaj, platformu koja i dalje izaziva ovisnost, samo uz provjeru dobi, kontrolu. Zašto? Da bi ljudi zbog ovisnosti o mrežama pristali na digitalni ID u svrhu pristupa istima, a sutra u svrhu pristupa samom internetu koji, kao što vidimo, sve više postaje temelj samog sustava te pristupa sustavu. Ne trebamo birati između sigurnosti djece i slobode, jer možemo tražiti oboje. Mozemo zaštititi i djecu i sve korisnike promjenom samih platformi, ali očito to nije u interesu. PROBLEM JE U PLATFORMI, A RJEŠENJE TRAŽE U PROVJERI ČOVJEKA. ZAŠTO? KAKO BI DRUŠTVENE MREŽE MOGLE SMANJITI OVISNOST / ILI IH VLASTI NA TO PRISILITI? 1. UKINUTI BESKONAČNO SKROLANJEFeed treba imati kraj. Nakon određenog broja objava: „Dosegnuli ste kraj sadržaja.”Čovjek tako dobiva prirodnu točku za prestanak. 2. ISKLJUČITI AUTOMATSKO POKRETANJE VIDEAVideo ne treba krenuti sam. Korisnik treba sam odlučiti želi li ga pogledati. 3. UKINUTI AUTOMATSKI PRIJELAZ NA SLJEDEĆI VIDEOJedan video → kraj → odluka korisnika.Ne: video → video → video → video… 4. OGRANIČITI PUSH OBAVIJESTINe treba nas svakih nekoliko minuta obavještavati da je netko nešto objavio, lajkao ili komentirao. Posebno ne noću. 5. UKINUTI „STREAKOVE” I SLIČNE MEHANIZMESustav ne bi trebao stvarati osjećaj:„Ako danas ne uđeš, nešto ćeš izgubiti.” 6. ALGORITAM NE BI TREBAO BITI OPTIMIZIRAN ZA VRIJEME PROVEDENO NA MREŽICilj ne bi trebao biti: „Kako da korisnik ostane još jedan sat?”nego: „Kako da korisniku prikažemo relevantan sadržaj bez nepotrebnog zadržavanja?” 7. MANJE ALGORITAMSKOG POJAČAVANJA EMOCIJAAko sadržaj izaziva bijes, strah, sukob ili šok i upravo zato dobiva više pažnje, algoritam ne bi trebao automatski zaključiti da ga treba još više širiti. 8. OMOGUĆITI PRAVI KRONOLOŠKI FEEDKorisnik treba moći odabrati:„Želim vidjeti objave redom kako su objavljene.”Bez algoritma koji odlučuje što moraš gledati. 9. OMOGUĆITI POTPUNO ISKLJUČIVANJE PERSONALIZIRANIH PREPORUKANe samo „prilagodi algoritam”, nego stvarna opcija:„Nemoj koristiti moje ponašanje za preporučivanje sadržaja.” 10. SAKRITI BROJ LAJKOVA I PRATITELJAPosebno za djecu i mlade. Manje stalnog uspoređivanja i traženja društvene potvrde. 11. UVESTI OBAVEZNE PAUZE — ALI BEZ MANIPULACIJENakon određenog vremena platforma može upozoriti:„Već ste proveli 60 minuta ovdje.”Bez gumba tipa „Nastavi još malo” koji korisnika ponovno uvlači unutra. 12. NOĆNI MIRZa maloljetnike, primjerice, automatski ugasiti push obavijesti tijekom noći. Za odrasle omogućiti jednostavan „mirni način”. 13. VIŠE SADRŽAJA KOJI POTIČE STVARANJE, MANJE BESKONAČNE KONZUMACIJEUmjesto da dijete nakon videa automatski dobije još 20 videa, platforma može ponuditi mogućnost da nešto nauči, napravi, napiše, istraži ili razgovara. I možda najvažnije: Platforma bi trebala biti uspješna onda kada je korisnik dobio ono zbog čega je došao — a ne onda kada ga je uspjela zadržati što dulje. To bi promijenilo samu filozofiju društvenih mreža. I to vrijedi i za dijete od 13 godina i za odraslog od 50 godina. Jer ako je problem u dizajnu koji čovjeka neprestano vuče natrag, onda je logično prvo promijeniti dizajn platforme, a tek onda razgovarati o tome kako dokazivati tko joj smije pristupiti.

Prema podacima Europskog opservatorija za sušu, mnoge velike europske rijeke tijekom ovog ljeta bilježe iznimno niske protoke. Naravno, jedan od razloga je manjak oborina i visoke temperature, ali postoji razlog i pitanje koje nitko ne postavlja: Što smo napravili s vodom koja je ipak pala, i to u rekordim količinama u rekordno kratkom vremenu? Jer problem nije samo u tome koliko kiše padne, već i koliko dugo voda ostane na kopnu. Stoljećima smo mijenjali krajolik tako da vodu što brže odvedemo. Betonirali smo i asfaltirali ogromne površine. Izgradili smo sustave oborinske odvodnje koji kišnicu skupljaju i odvode u kanale, potoke, rijeke, jezera, a u mnogim obalnim područjima izravno prema moru. Ispravljali smo i kanalizirali rijeke koje su se nekada prirodno vijugale, usporavale i izlijevale u svoje poplavne ravnice. Isušivali smo močvare, prirodne spremnike vode. Sjekli smo šume čiji korijenski sustavi omogućuju infiltraciju i zadržavanje vode u tlu. Isušivali smo i degradirali tlo koje je nekada moglo djelovati poput ogromne spužve, i onda se čudimo kada nekoliko tjedana ili mjeseci kasnije gledamo prazna riječna korita i povijesno niske vodostaje. Ili visoke, jer ovu nisu samo sustavi koji su zadržavali vodu za kasnije, ovo su i prirodni sustavi koji su sprječavali poplave. VODA NIJE NESTALA PREBRZO SMO JE ODVELI DALJE Kada na prirodan krajolik padne velika količina kiše, voda ne odlazi sva odmah nizbrdo, dio ulazi u tlo, dio puni podzemne vode, dio ostaje u močvarama i poplavnim ravnicama. Dio se zadržava u šumama i vegetaciji, a podzemne vode zatim mjesecima postupno hrane izvore, potoke i rijeke, a to je prirodni sustav koji omogućuje da rijeka teče i dugo nakon posljednje velike kiše. Ali kada istu količinu kiše spustimo na beton, asfalt i druge nepropusne površine, situacija se mijenja, jer voda se pretvara u površinsko otjecanje. Slivnici je skupljaju. Cijevi je odvode. I umjesto da dio te vode ostane u krajoliku i postupno se vraća rijekama kroz podzemlje, ona vrlo brzo napušta područje. Na kraju može završiti u rijeci i u kratkom roku podići vodostaj, izazvati poplavu, jezeru ili, osobito u obalnim područjima, izravno u moru. I tu nastaje paradoks. Možemo imati ogromnu količinu vode tijekom jedne oluje, a istodobno nekoliko tjedana kasnije imati suhe potoke i niske rijeke. Vodu nismo izgubili iz planeta. Izgubili smo sposobnost krajolika da je zadrži. Uništili smo tu sposobnost, i o tome nitko ne govori. A ONDA GOVORIMO O „PRILAGODBI KLIMI“ Naravno da suše, temperature i promjene režima oborina igraju svoju ulogu. Ali ako je krajolik dizajniran tako da vodu što brže odvodi, svaka suša postaje još teža i izraženija. Ne možemo kontrolirati svaku kap kiše, ali možemo odlučiti hoćemo li je zadržati ili ćemo je što prije poslati niz cijev u more. Stoga, umjesto da paničarimo i širimo paniku, možemo pogledati oko sebe, uvidjeti i priznati greške, i ponovno stvarati šume i agrošumske sustave, obnovljena tla koja upijaju i zadržavaju vodu, močvare i druga prirodna područja za zadržavanje vode, poplavne ravnice, prirodno vijugave riječne tokove, prirodne brane i močvarna staništa koja stvaraju dabrovi, urbane površine koje propuštaju vodu umjesto da je samo odvode što dalje od nas, kao da je više ne trebamo. To nije samo zaštita prirode, to je istinska vodna infrastruktura, za koju svaki mjesec plaćamo, financiramo da se uništi. (Slivne vode, oborinske vode…) I dugoročno je jeftinija i otpornija od betona, što je očito danas, jer betonski kanal vodu što prije odvodi, dok prirodan krajolik vodu zadržava. A ono što danas zadržimo u tlu može sutra biti upravo ono što održava rijeku živom. I zato pitanje nije samo „Zašto nema dovoljno kiše?” “Do kada će trajati visoke temperature?” Moramo pitati i „Zašto smo napravili i izgradili krajolik iz kojeg voda tako brzo odlazi?” Jer kada kiša padne na beton, ona može postati poplava, čemu sve češće svjedočimo, ali kada ista ta voda padne na zdravu šumu, močvaru i živo tlo, ona može postati zaliha vode za mjesece koji dolaze. Poput izvora u planinskom području koji nikad ne presušuje. Priroda je milijunima godina razvijala sustav za upravljanje vodom. Mi smo ga velikim dijelom zamijenili betonom, cijevima i kanalima, a sada, kada rijeke presušuju, bavimo se posljedicom, ne uzrokom. Vrijeme je da prestanemo prirodu prilagođavati sebi, i da se počnemo prilagođavati prirodi, njezinim ciklusima. Da vodu ponovno vratimo i zadržimo u krajoliku. Da ne dopustimo da svaka kap kiše postane otpadna voda. Da ne tretiramo kišu kao nešto čega se moramo što prije riješiti. Nego kao ono što je oduvijek i bila, izvir i temelj života. Možda ne možemo kontrolirati koliko će kiše pasti, ali možemo odlučiti koliko ćemo je zadržati.

Jer voda ne prestaje postojati, ona kruži, mijenja svoje agregatno stanje i mjesto, iz oceana u atmosferu, u oblake, rijeke, podzemne vode, led i natrag. Zato je danas pomalo smiješno kada čujemo izraze poput “vodni bankrot”, kao da Zemlja ostaje bez vode. Zapravo, problem je prije svega u raspodjeli, upravljanju i dostupnosti. Jer ako je čovječanstvo sposobno izvaditi sirovu naftu kilometrima ispod površine, preraditi je u tisuće proizvoda i dopremiti do gotovo svakog kutka planeta. Ako je sposobno izgraditi takav globalni energetski sustav, tada je, ako će to biti potrebno u budućnosti, sposobno i razviti i izgraditi sustave koji osiguravaju dostupnost vode tamo gdje je trenutno nedostaje. Pobogu živimo na plavom planetu, dakle planetu koja je više od 70% prekrivena vodom. Rasprava zato ne bi trebala biti o tome “nestaje li voda”, nego što činimo da je pročistimo i dopremio do svakog čovjeka, svakog poljoprivrednog zemljišta na bilo kojem dijelu planete. Zanimljiv je podatak da kada bi se sva voda na Zemlji rasporedila ravnomjerno po cijeloj površini planeta, prekrila bi ga slojem dubokim oko 2,7 kilometara. Mislim da to govori dovoljno. Kao i činjenica da je danas na planetu količina vode gotovo ista kao i prije 3. 5. ili 7. tisuća godina. Naravno, ne možeš je samo zagrabit čašom i popiti, ali zato postoje tehnologije desolizacije i filtracije, kao što bi se, siguran sam, uskoro otkrile nove, i jeftinije i efikasnije. PODZEMNE VODE Prema nekim podacima, podzemne vode čine oko 30 % sve slatke vode na Zemlji, što je oko stotinu puta više vode nego što je ima u svim rijekama i jezerima zajedno. Pitka podzemna voda može se pronaći na nekoliko metara, kao kod mene, pa na do više kilometara dubine. Europa srećom ima vrlo bogate podzemne zalihe vode. Čak i kada bi velike rijeke privremeno imale vrlo nizak vodostaj, mnogi gradovi mogli bi se još dugo opskrbljivati podzemnim vodama. Dakle, presušivanje rijeka ne znači automatski da je nestala podzemna pitka voda, jer na mnogim područjima postoje duboki vodonosnici koji mogu osiguravati vodu još dugo vremena. Tek ako bi godinama bilo vrlo malo oborina, mnogi podzemni vodonosnici počeli bi se postupno iscrpljivati. Što ne znači da ne bi imali velikih problema u poljoprivredi i industriji, u opskrbi strujom itd. Zanimljivo je da su mnoge drevne civilizacije propale upravo zato što su dugotrajne suše uništile njihovu poljoprivredu, a ne zato što je “nestalo vode” u apsolutnom smislu. Možda bi u tom scenariju imali i sreće u nesreći, jer je naša poljoprivreda već uništena.

It's appeared as a punchline in The Simpsons, in movies like WALL•E. It's a sound some of us tried to hide from our parents as we turned on the computer in the middle of the night. It's a sound that's transcended technology; the sound that makes a Mac feel like a Mac. But no longer; the iconic Mac startup chime is going away. But, while we all recognize the sound, we rarely think of who made it. On the eve of the boot beep's retirement, Mark Bramhill, from the podcast Welcome to Macintosh talks to creator Jim Reekes about the most fun and iconic sounds he designed during his time at Apple.

It's the most basic form of communication from right when we come into the world. But us humans are unique: we keep on crying until the day we die. What was born as a survival mechanism, develops a deeper fundamental need as we grow older. In this episode, we discover the hard-wiring in our brains that reach across species, and how our tears into adulthood make us distinctively human.

Transitioning and adjusting from your real home to your dormitory can be quite challenging and could take time. But one effective way to fast track your adjustment period is to design your dormitory room in the manner that it will feel like home. Most dormitories allow their occupants to redesign their room. The University of Southern California or USC have dorms and housing facilities that focus on the comfort of students. USC housing prioritizes their students’ satisfaction, above all. So, here are a few tips for designing your dormitory room at USC for your comfort and convenience. Room-Type Factor Students come from different homes, different places, and diverse backgrounds. Therefore, when it comes to thinking of a specific style or design for a room, students may differ in ideas. The first tip is to consider your room type. Is it shared? Is it spacious?  USC housing offers different room sizes and room types to accommodate various setups and needs. Whether you like to share a room with your friends or opt for a single room, they can make arrangements to cater to your needs. Decide on Your Design The second tip is to choose a particular model, style, or vibe that feels like home. You can try to recreate your own room in your dormitory room or opt for a different one. Check on Pinterest for some room designs according to your liking. Buy the necessary materials Students carry their personal things to their dormitories straight from home. While some choose to buy new ones as they transition to dorm life. When you have a design in mind, you can decide on the necessary materials you need to carry it out. You may buy new things that suit your design, such as the following: Bed linens Clothes hangers Laundry basket Bath linens Shower tote Storage boxes or crates Desk lamp You can also buy additional materials such as wallpapers and wall decors. DIY Ideas DIYs are usually fun because they are personalized. You can creatively clip photographs on your wall and decorate it using lights.

Keep it Clean, Calm, and Convenient Remember that you will spend the majority of your college life in your room. This is also practically your place for studying. Make sure that when you design your room, it feels spacious and not suffocating. It must be clean and organized all the time. The placement of things in your room must be convenient. For example, your school materials must be within reach from your study table so you won’t need to stand up each time to get them. Your dorm room must be an excellent place to study. It should be calming and conducive for studying and relaxing. Don’t Forget Lighting Lastly, when designing your room, consider the lighting. Make sure you get enough sunlight in the morning. When you decide on putting lights on your wall, make sure they do not become distractions to you and your roommates. Place your desk lamp where you need it the most and ensure it covers the area you need light. Designing your dorm room is exciting and entertaining.

The notion of writing online articles and putting your name out there is an exciting and worthwhile prospect to consider. According to published research, 53% of marketing experts claim that their top priority in terms of digital advertisement is blogging. This means that blogging has a lot of potential for people with the know-how of the fashion industry as a whole. But how do you start a blog successfully and go through the unavoidable growth pains without a dent? Let’s take a look at just that through several tried and tested tips. Set Measurable Goals Blogging is a very complex hobby to dedicate your time to. This makes it easy to give up on the notion of blogging due to the sheer volume of new information and terminology to cope with. For starters, set aside some goals and milestones for your blog to work towards. Do you want to gain 10k followers in the first month of launching? What about your yearly goals? What fashion niches do you want to cover and expand toward over time? Systems such as SMART can help you identify what is important to you personally so that you can better understand the meaning behind your future blog. Once you know what is that you will write about, you can proceed to the blog itself. Choose your Platform Let’s get technical for a minute and talk about blogging platforms. The website you choose as your host will serve as your CMS, or Content Management System. The most popular CMS on the web is WordPress, which you might have heard of before due to its widespread popularity. Besides that, you can launch your blog using Tumblr, Drupal and an assortment of other CMS websites. Depending on how tech-savvy you are, you should typically lean towards WordPress since it offers the most flexibility and user-friendly options for new bloggers to use. Coupled with the best editing service on the web in terms of text editing, all of these CMS options can become viable to you over time. For now, however, stick to the one you are most familiar with so that you can focus on the more important aspect of blogging – such as blogging itself. Be Original, not a Copy Originality has become something of a commodity on the internet, despite the open and free nature of the information. It cannot be overstated how important it is for your blog to be original in its topics, tone of voice and the overall style in which you will talk about trending topics. While you will undoubtedly talk about famous brands, popular clothing or jewelry lines and so forth, you can do that quite well in your own words and point of view. Make sure to borrow what works for your favorite bloggers only in passing – focus on your own thing as much as you can if you want to succeed as a professional fashion blogger. Mind your SEO A bit more about the technicalities of blogging (it won’t hurt, we promise). Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is another term you will undoubtedly come across while blogging. It concerns the general system in which search engines such as Google and Yahoo rank results on their pages. For example, if someone searches for winter shoe suggestions, your site will or will not show up on the first page depending on your SEO. In order to be in the good graces of SEO, you should familiarize yourself with keyword optimization platforms. Tools such as Google Adwords and SEM Rush are quite intuitive and offer a lot of information on each distinct industry, fashion included. Use these tools handsomely in your blog optimization and your overall traffic will see a spike as a result. Share through Social Media As an up-and-coming blogger, you should do whatever you can to reach a large audience. There’s no better way to do that than through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. All you have to do to get started is to set up dedicated pages on each platform with your blog’s name on it and you will be good to go. Make sure to share any new blog post, discussion or article that you publish on your main blog through social media pages. This will allow you to be seen by people who might be patrons of fashion but have no idea your blog exists at all. Diversify your Content Even though the first thing that pops into mind when “blogging” is concerned is text, that doesn’t have to be your only type of content. You can just as easily do video reviews of new clothing lines, interview fashion industry experts or retail salespeople among other things. This will diversify your content drastically, ensuring that your followers have a lot of different things to experience on your website. It will also do wonders for your SEO (there’s that word again) if you have mixed content available for people to see. Don’t constrain yourself to write exclusively – branch out and see which ideas pop into your head that are worth blogging about. Communicate with your Followers Lastly, you need to make time to talk to your audiences as much as possible. Anyone who comments on your content has taken time away from their day to read what you have to say and comment on it. Spark up a conversation at the end of each article you write by asking a question or a response from the reader. This will allow you to casually start a chain discussion with potential readers who might share similar opinions to your own. It might also attract people who disagree with you and present their own points of view on the matter which is also a great turn of events. Don’t rely on one-sided blogging and call it a day – talk to people who show interest in what you do. Give it Some Time (Conclusion) While blogging isn’t backbreaking work by any stretch of the imagination, it still requires a lot of time and energy. Don’t give up on your fashion blog while it’s still in its infancy. Give it several weeks or even months and see how the routine of writing and optimizing content feels like. Instant success can rarely be found on the internet – build your way towards your own little audience and it will find you halfway.

It is a big disappointment especially when you want to enjoy your favorite e-juice. Unfortunately, there are many reasons for this, and consequently, there are many things that you can do to find a solution for the issue. As a beginner, the insights that we are going to share below will help you with how to go about resolving the problem. Likewise, the experienced vaping enthusiasts will also benefit as this is a common problem. The Main Cause Probably, you have heard about vaper’s tongue, which affects those who vape. This condition causes your taste buds not to recognize the flavor of the vape for certain reasons. Vaper’s tongue does not have warning signs, and it can happen at any time, even in the middle of vaping. The mouth has up to about 8,000 taste buds to make sure that a person can distinguish almost every different flavor. But they can all temporarily fail for certain reasons. Saliva plays a big role in maintaining the functionality of the taste buds. If the mouth cannot produce enough saliva, a condition caused by a fatigued tongue, the mouth will be dry, and the taste buds will not work. However, this is not the only reasons why you may fail to taste the e-juice during a vaping session. Here are other reasons.         Failure to clean the vape device – cleaning your vape device and changing some parts like the atomizer as needed might be a big challenge. When residue builds up after many refills, the device might malfunction, which is a big challenge that may cause the flavors to disappear.         Incorrect adjustment of the device – one thing to know is that most vape devices on the market today are highly sophisticated. They have numerous programmable options to provide different results. If the user configures the settings incorrectly, she or he may not receive the desired flavor or even sometimes may experience nothing at all. For a beginner who is still learning about such devices, this could be a big disappointment.         Low batteries – whether one is using rechargeable batteries or disposable batteries, there could be problems with flavors if the charge contained by the battery is low. Most people have faced this problem only to realize that the low battery was the main cause.         Using low quality e-juice – there are many brands of e-juice on the market today. Some manufacturers have a good reputation while others may only be interested in making money in the short term. Buying either poor quality e-juice or e-juice that has expired might be a cause of not tasting a flavor at all. In bad cases, they might cause the vaper’s tongue discussed above. How to Bring Back the E-Juice Flavor By now, any vaper who has experienced this challenge knows how disappointing it can be. Imagine buying one of the best vaping devices from a reputable shop like ePuffer only to experience such a big disappointment. The good news is that there are many things that you can do to either keep it at bay or solve the issue when it arises.         Drinking more water – vaper’s tongue, which is now common, can sometimes be solved by drinking water to increase the production of saliva. This solution may require some time to take effect, but you can rest assured that it will often clear up at last. Fruit juices with citrus but limited sugar could wake the taste buds according to research. However, you must be careful as too much citrus could cause more harm.         Cleaning the tongue – brushing the tongue gently could also work perfectly, but it is not a solution 100% of the time. It is worth trying because a dirty tongue hinders the chemical reactions caused by bacteria. Be sure to use a soft brush to avoid bruising the taste buds.         Let the mouth rest – we all know that the mouth is a busy organ that is drinking this, eating that and now vaping. But if there is a problem like this, you can rest it for a few hours after drinking enough water. This will help the taste buds and other cells to regenerate back to their functional status.         Check the vape device thoroughly – we already mentioned that the vaping device could be the main reason why you are not tasting the flavor. In this case, it should be inspected for defects, dirt or unusual behavior. Those with the right experience will often find a fault within a short time. When this is corrected, the flavor could trickle back for you to enjoy. Cleaning it regularly or as recommended by the manufacturer is very important. As such, changing of atomizers should occur with each cleaning to complete the servicing process. Conclusion Failure to get the desired flavor from a vaping device is bad enough for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts. When you have prepared everything carefully that you need, the unfortunate vaper’s tongue will be a big drawback. It is your responsibility to try the mentioned solutions to bring back the taste buds’ functionality if you want to enjoy the e-juice flavors. Sometimes, medical intervention is necessary.       The post Not Getting the Flavor from Your Vape?

[…] The post Portable Tire Inflators: How To Use Them! appeared first on . ]]> Have you ever been in a situation when you are running late to the office, and your car tire is flat? Dreaded! Well, this can happen to anyone, but using it as an excuse to come late often might put your job at stake. However, keeping portable tire Inflators for such situations can save you! A tire inflator is a type of pump or air compressor that uses compressed air to inflate your vehicle tires quickly. Just keep them in the cargo or in the trunk of your car and get access during the roadside emergencies. Although the tire manufacturers are putting extra efforts for developing products that increase tire life, you surely can’t benefit from them, if you do not maintain tires. How To Use Tire Inflator: Connect your Portable 12 volt tire inflator in the car. Although air Inflators come with an extendable power cord, for precautionary measures, keep the engine running so that the compressor doesn’t hamper the car’s battery. But, before- check the condition of the vehicle. For instance, if you see a big puncture on the tire, do not inflate as the tire will not be able to hold the air. You can use it in case of slow leaks or at the time when the tires are not packed with air. To inflate tires, simply connect the nozzle of the compressor to the valve stem of the tire and make sure that the connections are secure. Once done, turn on the compressor pump to fill the air. Switch on the air inflator to let compressed air enter into the tire. Moreover, if you hear any hissing type of sound, instantly switch off the inflator and re-tight the nozzle. The hissing sound is because of the improper connection and can cause air leakage in the system. Now, stop and check the air pressure with the help of pressure gauge, to prevent the over-inflated. Also, keep a check on the air pressure that is recommended for your vehicle. You can see the vehicle’s manual to see air pressure or can have a look at the driver-door jamb. Benefits Of Using Portable Tire Inflators: The Quickly Fill Your Tires: One of the fastest ways to put air in the tires is by simply using a portable car tire inflator. Just a few minutes of work and your car tires are ready to hit the road. No Need To Go To The Filling Station: Instead of taking your car to the filling station, with portable tire Inflators, you can fill your tires anywhere. This will take you out of the situations when the filling stations show ‘no air’ sign. Also, its cost-saving. You Don’t Need To Drive To The Dealership: Instead of taking the car to the dealership to fix and pump the tire, with Inflators you can do on your own. Also, some tire Inflators contain the tire-pressure monitoring system, which will tell you that your car air pressure is low. Ensure The Longevity Of The Tires: Underinflated or over-inflated tires can give rise to many issues. They can burst-out quickly or can wear out anytime. However, to get the most out of tires, keep a check on them and ensure that they are properly inflated. This is true for the cars which don’t have any tire-pressure monitoring system. Two Types Of Inflators: The Most Common- 12V Tire Inflator: One of the best tire Inflators is those which can be used for all the emergencies. You can use some models by simply plugging them in the cigarette lighter socket.  The light socket is a 12-volt power source present in the vehicle. Cordless: If you are looking for the cordless inflator, pick a lithium-ion battery because they are easy to use and is quite portable. They are handheld and can give enough power to the car. So, keep the battery charged to stay protected from emergencies. So, now that you know how a portable tire inflator can help, keep it in the car and air to the tires whenever needed.

In fact, Fleetwood Mac could've named their current concert series, "Never Gonna Phone It In."<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="320" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="127" width="200" /></a></div> This iconic album cover, or in my case, 8 track tape cover, is tattooed on my brain. In 1978, when I was 16, Indiana sustained the mother of all blizzards. We were trapped in our houses for a couple of weeks, out of school for about 3 weeks. I've never seen anything like it since. I spent many hours in our tiny den, listening to <i>Rumours</i> over and over. <i><b>And over</b></i>. I loved that album and subsequent songs from Stevie Nicks' solo career.<br /> <br /> FM reunited with Christine McVie and came to Indy on this tour, but we missed out on the tickets. So we purchased some for Louisville and went to the concert February 17.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="200" width="150" /></a></div> Guess what? As if a nostalgic nod to my blizzard memories, a big snowstorm hit Louisville and nearly shut down the town. We were worried the concert might be canceled. We arrived the night before, and the town was a ghost town--restaurants closed, downtown streets had no traffic. It was eerie.<br /> <br /> But, as they say, "On With the Show."<br /> <br /> I don't know if I ever need to attend another concert by another entertainer. I can't think who else I'd like to see as much, certainly not more. Christine McVie sounded like magic. Lindsey Buckingham is a guitar wizard. Mick Fleetwood is ... crazy good. The other band members, the back up singers, the stage show--all amazing. Which is why I look giddy here. I don't have a "bucket list," but if I did, I could've been crossing off one hope-to-do-before-I-die item because of this concert. I mentioned they've been doing this for 40+ years, and I'm sure they're tired of the same old catalog of songs, but thankfully, they do not exhibit any signs of boredom on stage. They do not disappoint!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="200" width="165" /></a></div> <br /> I just love Stevie Nicks. Still wearing velvet, boots, gossamer shawls, still twirling with open arms and bowing deep with one foot forward. Still the Gypsy, still the poet in our hearts.

It's a very classic black jersey knit shirt dress-wrap-style, long skirt, 3/4 sleeves. I wear black tights and black boots under it. Very funeral appropriate, except the neckline is a tad too revealing without a pin.<br /> <br /> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="320" width="279" /></a>I found a pin, but getting it situated without puckering and pulling the dress was arduous.<br /> <br /> I flashed back to my teenage years when my mom would help me pin the necklines or straps out of the way. Even then with her help, it took a while to get it just right. We (or I should say "she") would work and work on it to make it the least noticeable as possible. It was a labor of Mom love.<br /> <br /> I expect that I'll always remember little moments like that; at least I hope I do, and I hope my children have their own incidental memories for their middle years and beyond.<br /> <br /> Mom is beyond helping me with anything now; I do all of the helping. Sometimes that makes me want to weep. Not because it's such hard work but because it's the necessity, the practical reality. And that's sad. I want her to be who she used to be.<br /> <br /> Or do I?<br /> <br /> You'll notice the second word of my title: needling. I meant that word to represent all of the times I struggled with my mom emotionally. She was pretty controlling and opinionated, determined to get her way, especially when it came to me and my appearance. My appearance was singularly important to her because her own was to her, and I was an extension of her.<br /> <br /> When other mothers were trying to tone down their daughters, mine was trying to make me more attractive to the opposite sex.<br /> <br /> It was weird.<br /> <br /> First of all, it was like having a stage mom, but I was no starlet. Just average. I did not garner compliments every time I left the house like she always had growing up. To this day, she receives compliments when we're out, and she eats it up. I cringe. She had no career or anything besides her good looks and clean house on which to base her significance-very much a Mrs. Cleaver without the pearls. And so she passed her priorities on to me, only I resented them, most often. Occasionally it was ok&nbsp;with me because that meant I got new clothes, etc.<br /> <br /> But I could not walk across the room without her telling me to straighten my shoulders. If I dropped something and picked it up, I had to bend my knees a certain way. If I carried a sweater or coat, it had to be draped across my arm, no bunching allowed. The rules were many, and she was like a giant eye, ever-watching.<br /> <br /> One of the most irritating things she did was barge in on me in the bathroom. She had no idea we were two separate entities, no longer tied by the umbilical cord, even when I was older. If I locked the door, she tried to get in and ridiculed me for locking it. I wasn't doing anything sketchy, just PEEING, which I was not allowed to say, by the way.<br /> <br /> This week I was in her bathroom, and in a split second, I had the most negative, ugly thought: "If she dares barge in here, I'm giving her what-for." It was like I was already angry, and she had not done a thing!<br /> <br /> She cannot read her own mail now because she can't understand the difference between junk and legit mail. Plus she can't comprehend what she reads. So yesterday I came in with her mail, junk sorted. I was on my way to the trash when she stopped me: "What is that?"<br /> <br /> "It's junk mail."<br /> "Well, here, let me see it."<br /> "OK."<br /> <br /> Ten minutes later: "I guess this is all junk mail. I should've let you take it when you were on your way with it." And she tossed it on the floor beside her chair.<br /> <br /> I was STEAMING. What's with the control??<br /> <br /> And then I thought, "She's 89 and very weak. She does not have much control over anything in her life. Can you not let her pretend to read her stupid mail without getting upset?! GROW UP."<br /> <br /> What is my problem? I've got issues. Being around her is causing me to face buried resentment alongside growing compassion.<br /> <br /> So often I waffle between deep sadness, pity and compassion and then irritation when the more frustrating parts of who she was arise.<br /> <br /> Is she a child or an adult? It fluctuates by the minute.<br /> <br /> I am working on this internally and working on it externally by my responses.<br /> <br /> Some mothers never noticed their daughters were around. Mine lived through me. Both methods breed contempt. But when she's needling, I'll try to remember the pins. &nbsp;Because they are both a part of who she was and is, and she is my mother.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2015/02/pins-and-needling.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (2nd Cup of Coffee)13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25201050.post-5324812150063608097Sat, 17 Jan 2015 00:52:00 +00002015-01-16T19:54:19.966-05:00The One About "Mark Twain is My Cousin" Wait-What??<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="286" width="320" /></a></div> <b><br /></b> <b>Please follow this link to my other blog to&nbsp;<a href=" Mark Twain:</a>&nbsp;--&nbsp;about finding out that I'm ... kin.</b>2015/01/the-one-about-mark-twain-is-my-cousin.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (2nd Cup of Coffee)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25201050.post-1273315706210332432Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:17:00 +00002015-01-15T19:18:50.154-05:00Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa.

It's a Record. For Slowness.<a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="200" width="150" /></a>I'm like most of you, I think. The decorations come down pretty quickly. But not this year. With the fire and the illnesses, it had to wait.<br /> <br /> I thought the stale reminders would drive me crazy, but I was wrong. Today as I tucked away little mementos of this year, I was sad. And here's where I demonstrate the glass half-empty outlook I carry with me at all times.<br /> <br /> My sweetheart was 23 months at Christmas. She was excited about everything, if not completely cognizant why. She loved "Jingle Bells" and would take off galloping around the family room and generally dance and walk on her toes whenever it would come on. And it wasn't enough to spring to animation by herself--whoever was near got pulled into the action like Courteney Cox in that Springsteen video. I've never galloped so much since 1967, kindergarten gym time.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="200" width="150" /></a></div> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="200" width="150" /></a><br /> <br /> <br /> I baked cookies with her mom and her. Here she is putting on sprinkles. Tilting your head helps you pick up those tiny candies with hands that are not used to the demands of fine motor skills.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> She loved opening presents and had so many from me that I had to parcel them out during December so that she wasn't buried in them Christmas Eve. I don't want to set a precedent for this type of consumerism. I'm not sure what happened to me emotionally this year. I ended up putting several away for her upcoming birthday. I never knew the tension of restraint until I had a granddaughter and entered Toys R Us at Christmastime. Good grief, Charlie Brown.<br /> <br /> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="200" width="150" /></a><br /> <br /> <br /> And here is my mom, who turned 89 in December. She was so ill at our house on Christmas Eve that I could not get a picture of her where she doesn't look like she's channeling Mrs. Gummidge in <i>David Copperfield</i>. I'm happy to say she's feeling better now, but the reality is, she is declining, month by month, week by week. Her quality of life is not good right now. The one bright spot in her life is Josie, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that. So I'm not sure about next Christmas with Mom. It breaks my heart.<br /> <br /> Wow, I certainly didn't mean to be so melancholy, but this is pretty much how it is right now, in my head and heart. At the beginning of December, I was super excited about life--challenging goals, fulfilling days spent caring for granddaughter and mom, good time with husband and kids, etc. It just came to a screeching halt around Christmas and New Year's Eve, of course (fire). It will get better. It has to.<br /> <br /> After all, <i>Celebrity Apprentice</i> is back on, right?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2015/01/christmas-is-officially-over-this-year.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (2nd Cup of Coffee)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25201050.post-7240819258537509955Sat, 10 Jan 2015 16:02:00 +00002015-01-10T11:02:50.464-05:00Currently ... A Writing Prompt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="320" width="201" /></a></div> 1. Thinking: It doesn't bode well for my goal of writing more in 2015 if I have to use a prompt.<br /> <br /> 2. Enjoying: This will overlap with listening, but currently enjoying Styx "Come Sail Away." Good to hear on a Saturday with temps at 0* while you're cleaning house.<br /> <br /> 3. Feeling: Just a little blue, which is typical for me when I'm trapped on the frozen tundra. How many days until spring?<br /> <br /> 4. Wearing: Not a Pinterest creation, for sure. Gray yoga pants and black sweatshirt. Perhaps if I wore some color today, it might affect me for the positive? Nah.<br /> <br /> 5. Needing: Nothing. I need nothing, really, which is quite remarkable and humbling.<br /> <br /> 6. Wanting: Ah, now that's a different story. I want my eyes to clear up. I think I'm having a reaction to my sinus infection. I've posted about it here before. I want to get all of my Christmas decorations put away today. I've been ill and haven't tackled it.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="; height="200" width="163" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">What?? The Heck??</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> 7. Listening: "Boogie Oogie Oogie," Taste of Honey, from a time in my life when all I had to worry about was homework, hair, and boys.<br /> <br /> 8. Making: I'm working on a gargantuan afghan I started last year. This is a dis-as-ter. My rows are off; I just can't seem to learn how to count. The colors slightly match my bedroom. I chose ocean colors because I was missing the ocean, and I thought when I wrapped up in it in winter, I'd be reminded of the beach. I think I was losing it. But now what do you do? Scrap the whole thing? This thing is huge. It covers my queen sized bed.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="200" width="150" /></a></div> <br /> 9. Eating: Nothing yet today. I did take my vitamins.<br /> <br /> 10: Drinking: So proud to say I've got my water bottle right here with me. Drinking more water is another goal for this year. Even if I drink one bottle per day, that's more than 0 ounces per day. I literally forget to drink. I don't even think of it during a meal or while eating food that screams for it. George will say, "How can you stand not to drink something with (whatever food)?" I don't know the answer to that. Even when I was little, my mother had to force me to take breaks from playing to go to the bathroom and to drink. It's an unfortunate gift that I have.<br /> <br /> What are you currently up to?2015/01/currently-writing-prompt.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (2nd Cup of Coffee)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25201050.post-6513517287710442245Tue, 06 Jan 2015 19:41:00 +00002015-01-06T14:41:29.473-05:00Dowager Countess of GranthamEating OutRestaurantsViolet CrawleyHere's My Card!Is this a new thing?<br /> <br /> My family went out to eat in a big chain restaurant similar to Olive Garden or Applebees. The server was friendly, courteous and eager to offer suggestions about the menu. She was an uber-server.<br /> <br /> At the end of the meal, the server asked, "Do you eat here often?" Only one said yes. The server then said, "Here's my card. Please ask for me when you return," and she handed this card to my daughter:<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="170" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="; height="170" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> If you know my family, you will understand that once she was out of earshot, this was wildly funny to everyone at the table.&nbsp;</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Do you think management knows she's doing this?

I'm mainly avoiding obvious sources, but I've cut out sugary yogurt, too. No Starbucks (I indulge only during the Christmas season), no Peanut M&amp;Ms (my main weakness), no nothing.<br /> <br /> Ohmygoodness. Cravings. MAJOR cravings. In the middle of a head cold, too.<br /> <br /> It hits me especially in the afternoons and lasts until bedtime.<br /> <br /> I get the urge; I re-direct my thinking.<br /> <br /> I change what I'm doing.<br /> <br /> I eat something healthy, like an apple or grapes. NOT THE SAME.<br /> <br /> This is the 5th day, and I actually feel grumpy mean tonight. I feel restless, edgy.<br /> <br /> So I Googled, "When do sugar cravings stop?" knowing I'd land on articles and discussions by super humans who have actually succeeded at this. Don't you know, most articles had a great big picture of some kind of sweets on the header. GIANT cookies! WHAT?! I scrolled down like I was avoiding porn.<br /> <br /> The consensus is: the first week is horrible. By two to two and half weeks, the cravings should subside a great deal.<br /> <br /> I honestly don't know if I can last that long if the cravings don't subside <i>a bit</i>. I've given up coffee for Lent before. That's what that pic above is about. I don't remember it being this <b><i>AnNoYiNg</i></b>.<br /> <br /> Has anyone out there tried this? Did you live to tell about it? If so, please throw me a lifeline.

My daughter and granddaughter had a violent flu. On New Years Eve, their outbuilding which housed their business burned to the ground. Then I got sick. It has been a mash up that calls to mind a Carol Burnett parody of a tragic 1940s movie: over the top drama, disasters rapidly occurring--but no laughs.<br /> <br /> Tomorrow, we begin anew.<br /> <br /> I'm hoping the substantial snow we are forecast will cover the debris of the outbuilding. I'm hoping it looks and feels like a comforting blanket.<br /> <br /> I do wish for a bright white slate.<br /> <br /> Here are the {gulp} goals I'm working on for 2015. I understand they're not as tight as they should be, but I'm mostly looking for improvement, unless I mention a measurable value.<br /> <br /> • I've purchased a journal in which I'll write as I read my devotional each day: <a href=" Calling</a><i>. </i>I still maintain that is a horrible title which brings to mind "Ding Dong, Avon calling!" or old timey cold-call evangelists. I've read about the <a href=" the author using first-person perspective when speaking as The Lord of the Universe, but I find nothing that doesn't spring completely from scripture. It just doesn't cause me concern. And since most days' writings are devoted to saying, "Simmer down, Martha!" it's just what I need.<br /> <br /> • I'm drinking at least 24oz of water daily, which is an improvement over 0 ounces.<br /> <br /> • I'm running at least 750 miles this year.<br /> <br /> • I'm working on a book list I found on Pointiest. Currently I'm reading/listening to <i>David Copperfield.</i><br /> <br /> • I'm staying on my <a href=" and gluten free diet</a>&nbsp;because my eczema and psoriasis are way better than last year at this time. I highly recommend.<br /> <br /> • I'll keep scanning old photos and working on ancestry. Soon I'll receive the results of my DNA test.<br /> <br /> • I'll to keep writing on my blogs. One blog is about <a href=" in the context of being a grandma</a>; one is about <a href=" history</a>, and then there's my first-born, this blog, which I started in 2006.<br /> <br /> • Less sugar, as in no sugar this month, at least. The most difficult! Since January 1, that has been my biggest personal challenge. I think about it all the time and am grumpy. In order to stay strong, I keep reading articles about how bad sugar is for us, which
