In 1844 David Brewster invented the Stereoscope. It was a new invention that could take photographic images in 3D. Later, Louis Jules Duboscq took that invention and improved on it. Louis took a picture of Queen Victoria using the improved technology and displayed it at the Great Exhibition in 1851. This picture became very well known throughout the world. Steroscopic cameras started to catch on and became fairly common for personal use by World War II.In 1855 the Kinematascope, a stereo animation camera, was invented. It was able to create 3d motion pictures. In 1915 the first anaglyph movie was produced. Anaglyph technology used 3d glasses with 2 different color lenses that would direct an image to each eye. In 1890 William Friese-Greene, a British film pioneer, filed a patent for the 3D movie process. In 1922 the first public 3D movie, “The Power of Love”, was displayed. In 1935 the first 3D Color movie was produced. The use of the technology would remain dormant for over a decade.In the 1950s, 3D technology made a come back. During this era, TVs had become extremely popular and had started appearing in many households. In the 50s a number of 3D movies were being produced. In 1952 “Bwana Devil” by United Artists was shown across the United States. This was the first 3D movie of the 50s. The film was shot using a process called Natural Vision. This process was pitched to Hollywood studios but they all passed. A year later, in 1953, “House of Wax” was released in 3D. “Dial M for Murder” was originally planned to be released in 3D, but Alfred Hitchcock decided to release the movie in 2D to maximize profits. Not all movie theaters were equipped with the 3D technology. 3D films were also being developed outside of the United States. In 1947 The Soviet Union released their first full length 3D movie, “Robinson Crusoe”.In the 1960s a new technology called Space-Vision 3D was released. This technology took two images and printed them over each other on a single strip. Unlike previous 3D technologies, it required a single projector with a special lens. This new technology removed the need to use two cameras to display 3D movies. Two camera systems were difficult to use, because it required that the two cameras were perfectly synced. The first movie to use this technology was “The Bubble”. The movie was panned by critics, but the 3D experience still brought huge audiences. It became a profitable movie, making the new technology ready for promotion to other studios.In 1970, Allan Silliphant and Chris Condon developed Stereovision. This was a new 3D technology that put two images squeezed together side by side on a single strip of 35 mm film. This technology used a special anamorphic lens that would widen the picture using a series of polaroid filters. The first movie to be released in Stereovision was a softcore sex comedy called “The Stewardesses”. The movie cost only $100,000 USD to make and it earned an amazing $27 million in North America.In the early 1980s many movies were released in 3D using the same process as Space Vision. Some of the movies that were released were Amityville 3-D, Friday the 13th Part III, and Jaws 3-D. In the mid 1980s, IMAX began producing documentary films in 3D. IMAx’s 3D technology emphasized mathmatical correctness and this eliminated the eye fatigue that was seen in previous 3D technologies. In 1986, Canada had developed the first 3D movie that used polarized glasses. It was called “Echos of the Sun” and was created for Expo 86.During the 1990s, many films were released in IMAX 3D. The most successful IMAX 3D film released during this time was “Into the Deep”. The first IMAX 3D fiction film, “Wings of Courage” was released in 1996.During the 2000s, many big studio movies were released in 3D. In 2003, James Cameron released Ghosts of the Abyss. This was the first full length 3D IMAX feature film. This movie used the latest IMAX 3D technology called Reality Camera System. The technology used the latest HD video cameras and was developed by Vince Pace. This same technology was used in “Spy Kids 3D: Game over”, “Aliens of the Deep”, and “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D”. In 2004 the first full length animated 3D movie was released. It was called “The Polar Express”. This movie was so successful in 3D that it prompted a great interest in 3D animated films. The 3D version of the film earned 14x as much per screen as the 2D version. In 2005, The Mann’s Chinese 6 theater in Hollywood became the first commercial movie theater to have the Digital 3D technology. In 2007 Scar 3D was released internationally and it was the first film to be filmed using a completely digital workflow.In 2010 Sky UK made a big push towards 3D television. On January 1st, the first 3D channel began broadcasting in South Korea. The channel displays educational shows, animated shows, sporting events, documentaries and musical performances all in 3D, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.We should expect that the use of 3D technology will continue and expand in to the normal household. Most major electronics manufacturers are planning the release of their 3D television lines. As the technology ages, expect prices to go lower and lower, and as they prices drop, more and more people will purchase 3D television sets. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://miantubms.info/the-history-of-3d-technology,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>What to Look for in a Great Shopping Center Experience</title> <link>https://miantubms.info/what-to-look-for-in-a-great-shopping-center-experience,html</link> <comments>https://miantubms.info/what-to-look-for-in-a-great-shopping-center-experience,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Apr 2023 18:12:49 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Shopping]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://miantubms.info/?p=65</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you want an excellent shopping center experience, you may do well to go off the beaten track.

When you take yourself away from the crowds and into smaller local settings, you can find a lot of excitement and offerings that you would never see in a large generic shopping mall setting. Finding a local bazaar or market can be a very exciting event in anyone’s travel experience.Some shopping centers are open markets where local people offer their wares, culinary specialties and local art and fashions. Other shopping centers are large well-built and designed constructions offering well known and fashionable items from around the world, side by side with popular and luxurious dining opportunities. Of course, there are all kinds of shopping experiences in between these two extremes. The type of shopping center you choose or stumble upon will vary from one location to the next. The best thing you can do is be open to every experience that presents itself to you to make the most of your vacation.For travelers, shopping centers that are located out in the open are obviously the ones that will be visited the most. Convenience and easy access will surely bring a shopping center a lot more business, and as they say all over the world, success in business depends greatly on location. Nonetheless, small markets located within little towns can offer some truly unique finds, so don’t limit yourself to just visiting the big business shopping centers. Do a little asking around to find shopping centers that will give you a wealth of unique stories and purchases to share when you finish your travels.The best shopping centers offer a lot of variety. If you can find a large or small market that offers you grocery shopping, fashions, recreation items, artwork, dining and a little free entertainment, you have hit the jackpot! Couple this with a comfortable layout that gives you good opportunities for simply resting your feet and people watching, and you have found the perfect shopping center experience.When you’re shopping in a large shopping center, you would also expect to find clean, modern facilities. Of course this may not be the case in a small local market. Successful, big shopping malls are constructed in such a way that modern travelers can feel right at home and find everything they need. While the larger malls may tend to offer only slight variations on goods available around the world, they are a very nice choice for travelers who prefer to have a more familiar experience in a foreign land. All new, modern shopping centers have great appeal for some older travelers and for travelers who are easily thrown off by extremely unusual experiences.If you’re a traveler who enjoys people watching, you will surely enjoy a larger shopping mall or smaller local market equally. The types of people you’ll observe in either of these settings (or indeed in almost any setting worldwide) are sure to be fascinating and varied! When you look for shopping opportunities that also offer events such as concerts and games, you will surely have a chance to see a variety of interesting people engaged in lively activity.When you visit a large center, the type of entertainment you can choose from is almost endless. You can enjoy some local bands and activities as well as movies, arcade games, ice skating and any number of other activities that can be set up in a well-controlled and well-designed interior atmosphere. This is great fun! On the other hand, if you visit a small market you may see local musicians and dancers and enjoy actually talking with and getting to know minor local celebrities.No matter what type of shopping fun you choose to experience, be sure to take your camera! You’ll surely have lots of excellent photo ops that will give you plenty to talk about when you get back home. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://miantubms.info/what-to-look-for-in-a-great-shopping-center-experience,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>An Introductory Guide to the Copyright Law</title> <link>https://miantubms.info/an-introductory-guide-to-the-copyright-law,html</link> <comments>https://miantubms.info/an-introductory-guide-to-the-copyright-law,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Apr 2023 07:14:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Copyright]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://miantubms.info/?p=63</guid> <description><![CDATA[Copyright is a legal concept created specifically to give the creators of an original piece of work exclusive rights to its ownership and usage.

The term generally means “the right to copy”, but intentionally gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work. Ultimately, the copyright holder has the right to determine who may publicly broadcast the work, who may adapt the work to other forms, who may copy the work, and who may financially benefit from the work.In order to qualify for copyright law protection the work must meet a minimal standard of originality. Although standards differ in different countries, the general requirements are quite low. The United Kingdom’s Copyright requirement states that there has to be some ‘Skill, labour, and judgement’ to be included in the work. Rather than being based on whether the piece of work is unique, the Copyright Law accepts the right of the original author on whether the work is an original creation instead. This specific point in the law enables two authors to own first copyright on two substantially identical works as long as the replication of the works is coincidental rather than intentionally copied.The 1988 Copyright, Designs, and Patents Act states that Copyright ownership ensures several exclusive rights are given to the first copyright holder. If an original work is under copyright, it is an offence for an additional party to:<br />Adapt the work<br />To produce copies or reproductions of the work<br />Import or Export the work<br />Rent, lend, or issue copies of the work to the public<br />Perform, broadcast, or show the work publicly.<br />The phrase “exclusive right” means that only the copyright holder of the work is free to carry out the actions mentioned above. “Fair dealing” is a term which is used to describe the acts which are permitted to a certain degree without infringing the copyright protection of the work. Some “fair dealing” acts include:<br />Criticism and news reporting<br />Private and research study purposes<br />Copies, renting and lending by librarians<br />Performance, copies, or lending for educational purposes<br />“Time shifting”, a term referring to the recording of broadcasts for the purposes of viewing or listening to them at a more convenient time<br />Producing a personal back up copy of a computer program for personal use.<br />The 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act states that the individual or collective who authored the work is usually referred to as the “first owner of copyright”. However, if the piece of work is produced as part of employment, the company which serves as the employer of the individual who created the work will be granted the first ownership. Commissioned or freelance work will usually remain to the author of the work, unless the contract for service states otherwise. Just like other assets, the initial copyright holder holds the right to transfer or sell the copyright of their work to another party. Besides selling the copyright, the holder can also, if they are a photographer for example, choose to enable their work to be released as copyright free images and legally enable other parties to use and broadcast the work.Rights cannot to be claimed for any part of a piece of work which is a copy taken from a previous work, unless the work is stated to be copyright free. For example, if a piece of art features samples from a previous work, (unless the samples are granted to be copyright free images,) they will still be under the copyright laws with the original creator, which means the adapted piece of work will be classed as copyright infringement.Over the years the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act has proven to be a daily complication for the majority of the artistic job market. In order to avoid infringement, modern designers and artists are recommended to refer to copyright free image galleries and databases. There are currently numerous websites which advertise and specialise in the use of copyright free images and files which are permitted for safe use by additional parties. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://miantubms.info/an-introductory-guide-to-the-copyright-law,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Workforce Management – The Best Solution for Effective Performance</title> <link>https://miantubms.info/workforce-management-the-best-solution-for-effective-performance,html</link> <comments>https://miantubms.info/workforce-management-the-best-solution-for-effective-performance,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 21:08:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Management]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://miantubms.info/?p=61</guid> <description><![CDATA[How workforce management enhances performance of your staffEverything starts with one question: what is workforce management (WFM)?

Workforce management describes a set of activities and approaches to managing staff in the way that is the most efficient, effective, and in the way that results in a higher employee engagement-all while still delivering the best customer experience.Given the fact that WFM deals with numerous employees, and numerous ways to manage and lead them, it is a very sensitive topic. For one thing, successful WFM can seem a bit expensive, and employee costs already represent one of the largest expenses in an organization. Secondly: sensitivity. Making the wrong decisions in relation to your employees may lead to lower employee morale and disengagement.So, what are the best levers to use to drive performance via WFM? Read on to find out.WFM component – smart training and coachingOne of the key objectives of workforce management is to provide enough coaching and training for your staff to ensure that they can continuously grow and develop into future leaders and/or experts.Here are some key strategies for achieving that objective:The first thing you need to remember is to coach, coach, coach. It is essential that your leaders (e.g. team, department, etc.) dedicate enough time to coach staff and equip them with the additional skills that are required to complete their tasks in a proper way. Focusing a significant part of your workforce management approach on both hard and soft skills will ensure that the whole team works smoothly and professionally.You also need to remember to cross-train your staff members. If some staff members are cross-trained on the jobs of other teams, it means that they are able to jump in and help out when they are needed (e.g. in the event of unexpected workload peaks due to unplanned events in insurance or RRSP seasons in banking).Next, put a proper learning management system (LMS) solution into place. Having a proper and modern LMS solution ensures that you can offer your staff necessary training tools, thereby equipping them with the skills they need. These solutions can be a learning platform to providing knowledge, but they can also be used to verify existing knowledge (e.g. in the form of interactive surveys). Skilled and knowledgeable staff members will contribute to the overall operating efficiency of your company.Don’t forget to capture and leverage your learnings. Holding weekly meetings in which you can discuss every past week allows you to make sure that key learnings are incorporated into the company’s future planning, and that allows you to manage your workforce even better.Finally, ensure you plan for proper skill levels and mixes. Having operations teams that consist exclusively of experts might be too expensive, but having an operations team of all junior members won’t be efficient, either. It is important to target a particular skill mix in your workforce; you want to ensure that there are a few junior level employees and a few senior employees. This will ensure the newer employees are gaining training and experience from those who are able to coach them and help with the complexes cases. In addition, some team members should be cross-trained on the tasks other teams complete to ensure resources can be borrowed and lent across teams, adding to your overall operational efficiency.WFM component – Creation of harmony in teamsManaging a team of people is not easy. There are many topics that a skilled workforce manager should keep in mind to maintain focus on both efficiency and making sure people are happy. Below are some examples of the best management practices:The first and foremost step is to ensure strong leadership. Strong leaders, both at team and department levels, represent an essential component of efficient and high-performing operations. Great operational leaders can lead, engage, and manage teams on a day-to-day basis. It is important for the workforce managers to be visible on the floor and to be close to operations.To maximize operational efficiency, you then need to minimize unnecessary meetings. Many organizations have too many meetings. While meetings are important to operations, it is important to make sure that no unnecessary meetings are taking up people’s time-and to ensure that everybody comes prepared to the meetings that do take place. This can save many hours per week and will significantly increase operational efficiency.You also need to manage your teams in cycles to maximize your company’s operational efficiency. Adhoc/ firefighting management styles confuse people and result in lower performance. Setting up a cadence of activities to manage operations and teams will help drive better performance results (e.g. use Monday to discuss the new week; use Tuesday to review the previous week, along with key insights; use Wednesday to plan for the coming week; or have daily morning huddles). There are many pieces to a successful, recurring operations management routine.Don’t forget to use voluntary free days (if there is not enough work). If there is not enough work on some days, like just before or after holidays, some operations staff members might be happy to get an unpaid day off. Check with your staff to see if this is an option-it decrease your overall costs, and it can typically result in higher employee engagement.Finally, remember to leverage your remote staff. As an experienced workforce manager knows, there are many benefits to leveraging remote staff, including: lower real estate and utility costs, decreasing time spent in traffic, and increasing access to specific resources and skills that can not be accessed otherwise (e.g. due to geography, family situations like parental leave, etc.). The most important thing here is to design the program in the right way: you want your employees to perceive it as a reward rather than a simple perk.WFM component – Time Management and Future PlanningIntelligent time management is another important component of WFM. There are only so many hours in a workday, and they need to be used wisely to ensure effective overall operations.Here are a few tips that can help you achieve better time management throughout all aspects of your company:First, ensure flexible, real-time workforce management. Workdays don’t consistently operate at the same level throughout their duration. There are intra-day workload spikes and quiet times – that’s where real-time workforce management can drive efficiency, softening extremes by providing additional resources (in case of workload spikes) or letting people leave earlier (as unpaid hours off on a voluntary basis during the quiet times).However, you also need to monitor trends and embed them into your planning. Knowing what the trends are and embedding them into your workforce planning is important because it allows you to right size your organization as work volume grows or decreases-otherwise you are risking an increased backlog and lower performance.Improving your resource forecasting is another important strategy for maximizing time management. Knowing what resource demands are in your company’s future and forecasting for those properly means you will end up with significantly fewer wasted resources as a result of being able to hire exactly the right number of people instead of “a few extra positions just in case.” That is where workforce management solutions like Reveal software can help.However, don’t forget to account for seasonality in your planning. Workforce planning should consider the difference in workloads that occur during different seasons-otherwise you run the risk of having too few or too many resources, and that heavily impacts performance (e.g. the beginning of winter is often a more work-intensive time for auto insurance due to the first signs of frost/ice on the roads).Finally, leverage your regular huddles to maximize efficiency. Spending 15 minutes per day checking in with the entire team and aligning on the tasks for the current day goes a long way. It brings everybody onto the same page, demonstrates leadership, and drives transparent team communication, and that results in higher performance as well as higher operational efficiency.Workforce Management Takeaways and ConclusionsWe hope these insights will help you use WFM to boost your operational performance. If you want to accelerate the process, you can address firms that specialize in workforce management consulting and deploy their WFM solutions across various industries. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://miantubms.info/workforce-management-the-best-solution-for-effective-performance,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Levo: The Goodness of Spa and Salon</title> <link>https://miantubms.info/levo-the-goodness-of-spa-and-salon,html</link> <comments>https://miantubms.info/levo-the-goodness-of-spa-and-salon,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 18:46:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spa and Wellness]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://miantubms.info/?p=59</guid> <description><![CDATA[Combining the healing powers of a spa along with the refining techniques of a beauty salon, Levo brings beauty, design and wellness all under one roof.

This sounds like it was written today. We truly do live in the best of times, so much knowledge is available to us, we look at the children and they know more at 5 than most people used to know at 50. Each day thousands of new ideas and technologies are burst into being and we expand our minds to keep up. It is the age of wisdom, also the age of foolishness. Epoch (a period of noteworthy events) incredulity (seeming too unusual to be possible) plenty of that going around these days. A season of light and expanding spirituality, and also we have a shadow of darkness, the spring of hope runs swift and the winter of despair seems to cast a bleak shadow over the earth, we teeter on having everything before us, and nothing before us, we are all going to heaven or the other way.The yin and the yang, the balance or the shattering, the ups and the downs. So the question is how does one survive in the turbulent currents of the modern times we live in? To really understand how to do that we need to go back many thousands of years to the cultures that understood the balance between Mind, Body and Spirit. The message is we are all one, we are the same as the rocks, the sky, the stars and each other. When we realize we are connected to a higher being and living in an intelligent universe we begin to find the answers to living a balanced healthy life.A joyful, happy, exciting hopeful life. We are more in control of our destiny than we can imagine. There is a divine plan for our lives and when we ask for the divine plan to show up in our life it does. Sounds simple…so simple it is almost overlooked or is it a secret for us to discover. I view life now as an intriguing puzzle to sort out, if our creator wanted to hide something from us would he hide it on the Mountain? No, we would find it there, at the bottom of the sea? We would discover it there. Inside Man, we would never think to look there. And that explains the complicated struggle between conscious mind and subconscious mind.Dr. Bruce Lipton has many good videos on the subject available on you tube and he has also written books on the subject. Our cells store memories, when people have transplants they pick up a cellular memory from the donor. Sometimes the recipient will adopt food, music, and other likings that were choices the donor had a preference for in life. If this can be transferred from one body to another…then how much more do we live with the cellular memory that is in our own bodies.If you have not ridden a bicycle since you were a kid hop on one and your cells will remember how to ride even though they are not the same cells in your body that were there when you were younger. We have new cells every seven years. If you are wanting to move forward and find your path in life how much of the “stuff” stored in your cells is telling you that you can not do it? These are the limiting beliefs that were taught by well meaning, family, friends, neighbors, teachers etc. If you are struggling please know that you can stop and turn your life around.It takes belief, meditating, and doing the U TURN at any age of your life. Pull in the reins and start feeding your spirit positive uplifting thoughts. Eliminate the can not do it will not work energy that is clogging your cells and replace it with “Miracles do happen and dreams really do come true.”More articles to follow. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://miantubms.info/balancing-the-mind-body-spirit-back-to-basics,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Travel and Hotels – Important Tips For Choosing Accommodations</title> <link>https://miantubms.info/travel-and-hotels-important-tips-for-choosing-accommodations,html</link> <comments>https://miantubms.info/travel-and-hotels-important-tips-for-choosing-accommodations,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Feb 2023 05:15:19 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://miantubms.info/?p=54</guid> <description><![CDATA[One of the most important when going to visit a place is accommodation.

For it is necessary to stay in a place of rest during the stay in a different place that is comfortable and enjoyable.There are various types of accommodation that vary according to the preferences and the form of tourist travel. When a person carries out trips to places where friends live, it used to stay at home to spend it. There are people who spend the night in shelters, especially when the trips are more adventurous. Another possibility is to rest at the home of residents who are ready to welcome visitors, which usually occurs in community-based tourism. You can also rest in hotel-farms and sites where tourism is ecological. Among the most common ways are to find rest hostels, resorts and lodging in hotels.Regarding hotels should be taken good care when choosing the ideal. There are many ways of getting accommodation in hotels. It is recommended before travel to get some information about what is available, then the internet is a great selection tool. If you know the site walk, it is important to stay in a resting place that is close to places of visitation. Check what types of the guesthouse or hotel services offers is an excellent way to select what is most close to the desire. A surefire way to choose is the place to see how many stars have. The ways to find a good inn is the web search, and information from people who have been guests of the hotel or inn desired, asking the most important aspects, such as price, quality of service hospitality (Like the storage room and service to the guest, for example), location, safety, etc..Place of rest must be chosen carefully, because it is only through an inn that provides welfare to the visitor manages to travel more enjoyable. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://miantubms.info/travel-and-hotels-important-tips-for-choosing-accommodations,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The PayDay Loan Web – Don’t Be a Needy Fly That Gets Caught in This Web</title> <link>https://miantubms.info/the-payday-loan-web-dont-be-a-needy-fly-that-gets-caught-in-this-web,html</link> <comments>https://miantubms.info/the-payday-loan-web-dont-be-a-needy-fly-that-gets-caught-in-this-web,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 01 Feb 2023 18:37:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://miantubms.info/?p=52</guid> <description><![CDATA[my personal payday loan story that can help youthe term payday loan starts with the letter “p” which is the same letter that starts off the words pain, penalty, poor and poverty.

Both the internet and the physical world are full of places where you can get a loan with bad credit, no credit check, and no employment verification but what these modern day loan sharks don’t tell you is that their interest rates are so high that one day you may end up with the payday loan mafia coming after you!Sure, these loans look very attractive to those in financial need that are unable to get a loan by conventional means but when the facts are presented what you have to pay back just isn’t worth it. This fictional character that we all refer to as “guido” which is the person that comes to break your arms and legs when you don’t pay a loan shark back is in existence in a different way when it comes to payday loans. Instead of your arms and legs the payday loan guido comes after your heart, soul and peace of mind.Payday loan places make their offerings look so attractive but it is all an illusion because who can really see when they are desperate? What you don’t want to happen is for what appears to be a temporary solution to become a long term problem and many times that is exactly what happens.I’ve been caught in the payday loan otherwise known as payday advance web many times. Sometimes life’s circumstances leave us very few choices and we decide to do what we feel like we have to do to buy gas and put food on the table. Like I said, i’ve been there before and as a survivor of payday loan debt I have knowledge that can help you.I want you to ask yourself a question which is, “if you don’t have enough money to get by what makes you think you can payoff a loan with 300%- 700% interest?” You might as well sell your first born child. Payday loans may seem good in the short run and you may get instant gratification and even a rush when you hold that cash in your hands or see it in your bank account but in the long run it is a race that many can’t win.My story, like many, was that I obtained payday loans to cover immediate expenses I needed cash for but didn’t have money to pay the loans back so I got extension after extension paying out ungodly amounts of money. Before long I was getting new payday loans just to pay the other payday loans I had received. I was trapped in a vicious cycle with no way out and a ton of stress upon me. I became a needy fly caught in the payday loan web, especially since most of my loans were online loans; I was literally in a virtual web. The payday loan spider sucked the life blood out of my bank accounts and I didn’t know what to do.Please understand that you can’t solve a problem with a problem and you can’t come out debt by creating more debt. The solution to your debt starts with gaining additional income sources and paying off existing debt little by little so you can be free. In my own personal payday loan crisis I got up to almost $7, 000 worth of payday loans and when renewal payment time came my entire paycheck was gone. This is a miserable experience that I pray you can avoid. You might already be at this state but even if you are I have some suggestions for you that will offer hope.The first thing you have to do is to make a conscious decision to get out of this situation. Decide to change and become a butterfly rather than a fly caught up in the payday loan web. When a caterpillar is going through the metamorphosis in the cocoon in order to become a butterfly there is a struggle. The struggle is in fact what makes the butterfly great because the struggle to get out of the cocoon transformed actually pushes fluid from the butterfly’s body into its wings so that it can emerge in beautiful flight. This process may be a little painful but it will help you fly and be what you were made to be.One thing that I did was to become an affiliate for payday loan companies so that I could get paid from other people acquiring payday loans. Some people are just going to get them so there is no reason why you shouldn’t get paid from the process that made you pay so much. The second thing I did is what really helped me which was to get a payday loan consolidation company to take on my debt at a reduced amount and pay the payday loans back for me on my behalf. It was one of the best choices I ever made and it was a way out of the payday loan web.You can do a Google search to find companies that will represent you in this way but do your research and make sure that the company you choose is credible. I used pdl assistance, inc. They require an upfront fee to take your case but they will work with you on paying it and it is around $200. Next you set up a plan to pay them a monthly amount on your payday loan debt and they pay your debtors directly. They will give you different term options to pay the debt off and they will deal with the payday loan companies for you. Doing this took a huge weight off of me. I got a 12 month term to repay my payday loan debt at 35% of what I owed the payday loan companies. The $400 a month I was paying on this plan was much better than the $700 plus every two weeks I was paying for all the loans I had.One important thing to know when you start a payday loan consolidation program is that the payday loan companies are going to call you to collect. When they call just give them the information for the company that is representing you and let them know that the debt is going to be repaid to them as part of a loan/debt consolidation program you have initiated. I obtained the fax numbers to my payday loan companies and sent them notification on who to contact regarding the repayment of my loans. If you do this make sure to include your account number and social security number so they can properly locate your account.Some companies will continue to try and collect from you in spite of this so I have another suggestion if this happens. If you get numerous collection calls after you have informed them about your debt consolidation you need to fax and/or send them a cease and desist letter. You can get a template off the internet and submitting this letter will stop the collection calls while your debt consolidation program is in the works.Another tip is to close the bank account you have the loan fees being deducted from if possible. You will want to start a new account before you close your existing account and under no circumstances get payday loans under the new account. You have to treat the payday loan habit like an addiction. If you are going to stop it then stop it because replicating the mistake will only make things worse for you.If you need money then get bad credit credit cards and pay them on time to build your credit. Pay more than the minimum payment and use them to pay bills so you can pay what you need to pay while building your credit. No debt consolidation company can legally advise you to close your account but sometimes it is the only way to keep the payments from being processed and causing you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in overdraft fees. For me this was the easiest way because I had so many loans and it would have cost me a $25 fee for every stop payment processed plus the bank could have missed some.I also want you to know that the cease and desist letter can be used for any type of debt collection and not just payday loans. It is important to know your rights and you can find them out online at the federal trade commission’s website where you can learn about the fair debt collection act. You will learn what creditors can and cannot do regarding the collection of your debts and how to stop inconvenient and harassing behavior.I do not encourage anyone to get a payday loan because it can get out of control so easily. If you must get a payday loan be sure to get one with low fees well below the normal $30 per $100 borrowed. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://miantubms.info/the-payday-loan-web-dont-be-a-needy-fly-that-gets-caught-in-this-web,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Basics of Japanese Gardening</title> <link>https://miantubms.info/the-basics-of-japanese-gardening,html</link> <comments>https://miantubms.info/the-basics-of-japanese-gardening,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 01 Feb 2023 15:03:41 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://miantubms.info/?p=50</guid> <description><![CDATA[Things to keep in mind for a beautiful gardenMain principles on the garden’s designBring the Japanese feeling into your garden with these basic steps.

First of all, embrace the ideal of nature. That means, keep things in your garden as natural as possible, avoiding to include things that could disrupt this natural appearance.For example, don’t include square ponds in your design as square ponds are nowhere to be found in nature. Also, a waterfall would be something closer to what exists in nature if we compare it to a fountain. So you also have to consider the Japanese concept of sumi or balance. Because one of Japanese gardening design main purposes is to recreate large landscapes even in the smallest place. Be careful when choosing the elements for your garden, because you don’t want to end up filling your ten by ten courtyard with huge rocks.As a miniaturized landscape, the rocks in the garden would represent mountains and the ponds would represent lakes. A space filled with sand would represent an ocean. By that we assume that garden masters were looking to achieve a minimalistic approach, best represented by the phrase “less is more”.The elements of time and spaceOne of the things westerners notice at first are the many portions of empty space in the garden. In fact, these spaces are an important feature in Japanese gardening. This space called ma, relates to the elements around it and that also surround it. The concepts of in and yo are of vital importance here, they are best known to the Western civilization by the Chinese names yin and yang. If you want to have something you have to start with having nothing. This is an idea quite difficult to understand, but it is a rule of thumb in Japanese gardening.An important clue in the development of a garden is the concept of wabi and sabi. There’s no literal English translation for those words. Wabi is about uniqueness, or the essence of something; a close literal translation is solitary. Sabi deals with the definition of time or the ideal image of something; the closest definition might be time strengthened character. Given the case, a cement lantern that might appear unique, would lack of that ideal image. Or an old rock covered in lichens would have no wabi if it’s just a round boulder. That’s why it is important to find that balance.Ma and wabi/sabi are connected to the concepts of space and time. When it comes to seasons, the garden must show the special character of each one. Japanese garden lovers dedicate time to their gardens every season, unlike the western gardener who deserts in fall just to be seen again in spring.A very relaxing view in spring is given by the bright green of new buds and the blossoms of the azaleas. In summer, the lush foliage in combination with the pond offer a powerful and fresh image. The vivid spectacle of the brilliant colors of dying leaves in fall are a prelude for the arrival of winter and its white shroud of snow.The two most important gardening seasons in Japan are spring and winter. Japanese refer to the snow accumulated on braches as Sekku or snow blossoms. Yukimi, or the snow viewing lantern, is another typical element of the Japanese garden in winter. The sleep of the garden in winter is an important episode for our Japanese gardener, while for the western gardener spring is the beginning of the work at the garden. Maybe because of the eastern point of view as death like part of the life cycle, or perhaps the western fear to death.About garden enclosures<br />Let’s see the garden as a microcosm of nature. If we’re looking for the garden to be a true retreat, we have to ‘set it apart’ from the outside world. Because of that, fences and gates are important components of the Japanese garden.The fence and the gates have both symbolism and functionality. The worries and concerns of our daily life have to stay out of this separate world that becomes the garden. The fence protects us from the outside world and the gate is the threshold where we leave our daily worries and then prepare ourselves to confront the real world again.The use of fences is based in the concept of hide/reveal or Miegakure. Fence styles are very simple and are put in combination with screen planting, thus not giving many clues of what hides inside. You can give a sample look of your garden by cutting a small window in the solid wall that encloses your garden if that’s the case. Sode-gaki, or sleeve fences, are fences attached to an architectural structure, that will only show a specific view of the garden from inside the house. Thus, we’re invited to get into the garden and enjoy it in its entirety. That’s what makes the true understanding of the garden, to lose in it our sense of time and self.Basic Arrangements<br />Despite the fact that certain rules are applied to each individual garden, don’t think that there’s just one type of garden. There are three basic styles that differ by setting and purpose.Hill and Pond Garden (Chisen-Kaiyu-skiki)<br />A China imported classic style. A pond or a space filled with raked gravel fronts a hill (or hills). This style always represents mountainous places and commonly makes use of vegetation indigenous to the mountains. Stroll gardens commonly use this style.Flat Garden (Hiraniwa)<br />It derives from the use of open, flat spaces in front of temples and palaces for ceremonies. This is an appropriate style for contemplation and that represents a seashore area (with the use of the right plants). This is a style frequently used in courtyards.Tea Gardens (Rojiniwa)<br />Function has a greater importance than form in this type of garden. The Roji or dewy path, is the main point of the garden, along with the pond and the gates. This would be the exception to the rule. The simple and sparse plantings give a rustic feeling to the garden.Formality has to be taken in consideration<br />Hill and pond and flat styles may be shin (formal), gyo (intermediate) or so (informal). Formal styles were to be found usually at temples or palaces, intermediate styles were suitable for most residences, and the informal style was used in peasant huts and mountain retreats. The tea garden is the one that always fits in the informal style.The garden componentsRocks (ishi in Japanese) are the main concern of the Japanese garden. If the stones are placed correctly, then the garden shows in a perfect balance. So here are shown the basic stone types and the rules for their positions.The basic stones are the tall upright stone, the low upright stone, the curved stone, the reclining stone, and the horizontal stone. These must be usually set in triads although this doesn’t happen always. Two almost identical stones (by way of example, two tall verticals or two reclining stones), one a little quite smaller than the other, can be set together as male and female, but the use of them in threes, fives, and sevens is more frequent.We have to keep away from the Three Bad Stones. These are the Diseased stone (having a withered or misshapen top), the Dead stone (an obviously vertical one used as a horizontal, or vice versa, like the placement of a dead body), and the Pauper Stone (a stone having no connection to the several other ones in the garden). Use only one stone of each of the basic types in any cluster (the rest have to be smaller, modest stones also known as throwaway stones). Stones can be placed as sculptures, set against a background in a two-dimensional way, or given a purpose, such as a stepping stone or a bridge.When used as stepping stones they should be between one and three inches above the soil, yet solid underfoot, as if rooted into the ground. They can be put in straight lines, offset for left foot, right foot (referred as chidori or plover, after the tracks the shore bird leaves), or set in sets of twos, threes, fours, or fives (and any combination thereof).The pathway stands for the passage through life, and even particular stones by the path may have meaning. A much wider stone placed across the path tells us to put two feet here, stopping to enjoy the view. There are numerous stones for specific places. When observing the basic design principles, we can notice the exact character of the Japanese garden.Water (mizu in Japanese) plays an important part in the composition of the Japanese garden because of Japan’s abundant rainfall. Water can be represented even with a raked gravel area instead of water. A rushing stream can be represented by placing flat river stones closely together. In the tea garden, where there isn’t any stream or pond, water plays the most important role in the ritual cleansing at the chozubachi, or water basin. As the water fills and empties from the shishi-odoki, or deer scare, the clack of bamboo on rock helps mark the passage of time.The flow of water, the way it sounds and looks, brings to mind the continual passage of time. A bridge crossing the water stream is often used as a landscaping complement. Bridges denote a journey, just as pathways do. Hashi, in japanese, can mean bridge or edge. Bridges are the symbolic pass from one world into another, a constant theme in Japanese art.Plants or Shokobutsu may play a secondary role to the stones in the garden, but they are a primary concern in the design too. Stones represent what remains unchanged, so trees, shrubs, and perennials have to represent the passing of seasons. Earlier garden styles used plants to make up poetic connotations or to correct geomantic issues, but these have little meaning today.As the the Heian style diminished under the Zen influence, perennials and grasses fell out of use. So, for a long time, there were only a few plants that tradition allowed for the garden. However, in modern Japan, designers are again widening the spectrum of materials used. It is highly recommended that native plants are chosen for the garden, because showy exotic plants are not in good taste. Be aware that native plants are used in the garden, because it is in bad taste to use showy exotic plants. Although pines, cherries and bamboo immediately remind us of Japanese gardens, we encourage you to use native plants of your locality that you can find pleasing. If we choose evergreens as the main plant theme and combine it with deciduous material that may provide seasonal blooms or foliage color we can recreate the look of the Japanese garden.Now the next thing taken in consideration in a Japanese garden are the ornaments or Tenkebutsu. Stone lanterns are, for westerners, a typical impression of Japanese gardens.Stone lanterns are not important components of the Japanese garden. The reason is that ornaments are subjected to the garden’s design. Lanterns, stupas, and basins are just architectural complements added when a point of visual interest is necessary to the design.A good way to finish yor garden design could be a well-placed lantern. The three main styles (although with many variations) are: The Kasuga style lantern, is a very formal one featuring a stone base. In the Oribe style lantern, unlike the Kasuga style, the pedestal is underneath the ground. The Yukimi or Snow-Viewing lantern is set on short legs instead of a pedestal. Consider the formality of your garden setting to choose the appropriate lantern.When possible, elements from outside the garden can be included in it. For instance, you can work a far away mountain including the scenery in your design, framing it with the stones and plants existing in the garden.<br />The borrowed scenery (shakkei in Japanese) can be: Far (as in a far away mountain); near (a tree just outside the fence); High (an element seen above the fence) or low (like a component seen below a fence or through a window in the fence).As much as it is perceived to contradict our sense of enclosure, it reminds us of how all things are interconnected.The feel of your garden<br />The Japanese garden is a subtle place full of contradictions and imperatives. Where firmly established rules are broken with other rules. If you meet the Buddha on the road, you must kill him is a Zen paradox that recommends not to stick so tightly to rules, and the same goes for Japanese gardens.When building a Japanese garden, don’t get too attached to traditions that hold little meaning for you. It would have no function to recreate a Buddhist saints garden. This also applies to trying to remember the meaning of stone placements, as this method is no longer used in Japan, or even in the United States, due to the lack of meaning for us in the modern world.That’s why we have selected a few gardening suggestions that do hold relevance and integrate them into a garden. These three ideas on gardening will give direction to achieve perfect results.First<br />The overall setting of the garden should always be right for the location, not the other way around.Second<br />The stones should be placed first, next the trees, and then the shrubs.Third<br />Get used to the concepts of shin, gyo, and so. This is of great help to start working on the garden.Have in mind that the real Japanese gardens are the traditional ones in Japan. What we can do in America is to shape a garden in the Japanese style. Rikyu once said about the perfect Roji: “Thick green moss, all pure and sunny warm”. In other words, techniques are not as important as the feeling you evoke in your garden. Said in other way, the feeling is more important than techniques. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://miantubms.info/the-basics-of-japanese-gardening,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
