Can anybody please give me some advice. I'm about to choose between a SB2000 pro (€999) and a SB3000 (€1399). I only have 2 stores but too far away to listen.
The livingroom section (where couch and tv is) is 4.5m x 5.5m with an open layout (L shape) including the kitchen. So full base floor is 5.5mx10m excluding the hallway.
Both stores advice the SB2000 pro over the SB3000. Would you concur or is the 3000 worth the extra €400?
That's a fairly large area! Converting that to cubic feet, and assuming at least an 8' ceiling height, your total room size would be over 4,000^3. The difference of 400 Euro's is not insignificant, but given your larger room size, I would recommend spending the extra money and getting the SB3000. When we buy directly from SVS, in the US, we can afford to make mistakes in which subwoofer we start with, because we have a free-trial period. But, that is not likely to be offered by your dealer. Given the fact that nearly everyone initially underestimates his bass requirements, and then finds himself upgrading, I would start with the SB3000 if I were you.
The SB3000 will have superior mid-bass output, compared to the SB2000 Pro, and it will also go a little deeper, allowing it to produce more low-bass volume as well. In a larger room, I think that you might especially appreciate having the extra <25Hz and <20Hz output of the SB3000. It's never easy (well, not comfortable anyway ) to advise someone else to spend more money. And, you can almost always find potentially conflicting advice on this sort of thing. But, I would err on the side of caution, if I were you, and get a little more subwoofer than you think you will actually need. Because you will probably find that you really do need it, or want it, after all.
I hope this helps!
Edit: The previous post compared the graphed frequency response of the older SB2000 and the SB3000 correctly, but inadvertently used the wrong max output numbers for the SB2000. The numbers he used were actually for the PB2000, which is a ported model. The SB2000 Pro hasn't been independently tested yet. But, the SB3000 should have a considerable mid-bass advantage, and some advantage in the lower frequencies, as well. The correct numbers for the SB2000 can be found here:

Munich, Germany, a destination richly steeped with art, architecture, history and culture, was founded in 1158 by Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony. As the capital of Bavaria, Munich is nestled in the foothills of the German Alps and is replete with opportunities for visitors to experience its famous beauty, friendly beer gardens, shopping, music and festivals. A number of historic hotels in Munich make this destination even more enjoyable.
Hotel Laimer Hof
This compact, historic villa is a Munich protected heritage building. Built in 1886 and situated in the charming Nymphenburg district, the Laimer Hof has been a guesthouse since 1937. Within a pleasant stroll to the Hirschgarten, Europe's largest beer garden, the hotel also close to the famous Nymphenburg Castle. Guests have a choice of 23 rooms appointed with antique beds and eiderdown quilts. Enjoy authentic Bavarian cuisine at two nearby restaurants: Schlosswirtschaft Zur Schwaige and Königlicher Hirschgarten. Hotel Laimer Hof Alexandra und Sebastian Rösch Laimerstrasse 40 80639 Munich Germany 011(+49) 89-17-80-38-0 laimerhof.de
Hotel Torbräu
The Hotel Torbraü first welcomed visitors in 1490, under the name Thaltor-Herberge. Then, as now, its prime location made it a favorite stop and watering hole for guests, from both nearby and faraway lands. An on-site brewery added in 1565 attracted revelers from around Europe, as the brewmaster gained a reputation for creating a particularly fine Munich malt. Today, the inn is family-owned and operated, as it has been for the last century. Guests come to enjoy the contemporary elegance, whether in a small single room or suite. Views of the low-rise Munich skyline abound, with church spires making a marked impression in the distance. Hotel Torbräu Tal 41 80331 Munich Germany 011 (+49) 89-24-234-0 torbraeu.de
Bayerischer Hof
Guests who stay here walk in the footsteps of King Ludwig I, who ordered the Bayerischer Hof built in 1839 to accommodate his visitors with stylish elegance. In subsequent years, the hotel has been renovated many times. In 1944 it was almost destroyed in bombing raids. The family began to rebuild it in 1945, and in doing so discovered the regal Spiegelsaal (Hall of Mirrors) had survived almost completely unscathed under the ruins. Today, guests stay in more than 363 rooms, 60 of which are suites. Philippe Hurel, a French designer, created the Wenge lamps, while fabrics are by Manuel Canovas. In some suites, valuable antiques lend an authentic air of nobility to your stay. Rooms present a contemporary feel while paying homage to the hotel's history. With protected monument status, Bayerischer Hof allows guests to Munich to experience the best of old world charm combined with five-star, sophisticated comforts.

Cable Nets and Grid Shells: Form-finding with GSA (Oasys Software Webinar) The focal geometry of circular and conical meshes. Abstract: Circular meshes are quadrilateral meshes all of whose faces possess a circumcircle, whereas conical meshes are planar quadrilateral meshes where the faces which meet in a vertex are tangent to a right circular cone.
Both are amenable to geometric modeling – recently surface approximation and subdivision-like refinement processes have been studied. In this paper we extend the original defining property of conical meshes, namely the existence of face/face offset meshes at constant distance, to circular meshes. We study the close relation between circular and conical meshes, their vertex/ vertex and face/face offsets, as well as their discrete normals and focal meshes.

Here are some more videos of early tests of Kangaroo – the live physics engine for design modelling that I have recently started developing – and a bit more about its context and what it could be used for.
One of the things it allows is the virtual use of some of the physical form-finding techniques for design that were pioneered by architects/engineers such as Frei Otto and Antoni Gaudí. They made use of a principle discovered by Robert Hooke : When a flexible chain hangs freely its elements are in pure tension, and when this form is flipped vertically it produces a form of pure compression, which is ideal for constructing masonry arches, an idea which can be extended to chain nets and stone vaults : Another area in which physics based form-finding has been important in architecture is in the design of lightweight and tensile structures such as cable-nets and fabric canopies.

Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
How do I get cat vomit out of a wool carpet?
By alison mawson from Scunthorpe, UK
After lifting up the clumps, I use Resolve pet cleaner and a scrub brush in the cleaning aisle of your food store. It works for me and removes the smell and stain. Use in a corner first to see if it will affect the color of your carpet.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
Does anyone have a way to get rid of cat throw-up stains? I have been using Oxyclean/water about 2 Tbsp. to one quart of water, I mix my own in a spray bottle, it gets up most but not all of the stain.
Sandra from Encino, CA
I have two very old cats who vomit on the carpet and I also have tried everything. I purchased a Bissel carpet shampooer, appox. $120.00, including the soap. Every stain, even old ones came out and it is as easy as vacuuming.
Give it a try. (08/21/2007)
By Joan
Baby wipes work pretty good, too! (08/21/2007)
By lavonneann
Try using shave cream. Squirt some on the carpet, wait a few minuted, take a brush and brush well. Then use a wet rag to absorb the dirt. (08/22/2007)
By GRANDMA
Try Nature's Miracle. Scrub it with a brush. Let it sit a while first. A more toxic way to do it is Resolve. I don't like the smell, but it seems to work on anything! (08/23/2007)
By Katrina
I too have the same problem with my darling cat, she is forever doing the wet fur ball throw up all over my home too. I keep a spray bottle of water and vinegar at hand (more vinegar than water). I spray and then immediately blot with paper towels. If the stain is too dark in color then I spray with Castrol Cleaner and use a scrub brush. It never fails me. However if your carpets are that of a color I would dilute the Castrol as it is very strong and might fade your carpet. Mine is a very light color and it works fine. Castrol can be found in Walmart in the cleaning section for autos. I hope this can help you out. Let me know and good luck, Pat (08/24/2007)
By Pat
Believe it or not -- shaving cream! The old-fashioned white foamy type, not a gel. Use what you have on hand, or go to the dollar store and buy the cheapest one. Squirt a big glob on the stain, then work it in really really well with a brush or a clean rag. Let it dry, then vacuum it up. You may need more than one application.
I've had cats for years, and this works! (10/04/2005)
By Becki in Indiana
This is the best tip ever! Our cat vomited and the bile got spread around in a large area on a white carpet. I tried multiple ways to remove it and all we saw was a faded yellow patch on the center of our carpet in a very prominent walkway! Thinking this one spot of vomit was going to cost us several thousand dollars so we could replace the carpet with wood floors, I tried the shaving foam trick. The carpet looks great and no stain. Fabulous! Thanks. (10/07/2005)
By Anon
One of my cats left a huge pile of vomit on our beige carpet. I tried carpet cleaner and it didn't work. The bile had stained the carpet yellow. I then tried pouring vinegar on the yellow stains and putting a towel over it and then standing on the towel to soa1k up the stain. It worked! Be generous with your vinegar. Good Luck (07/22/2006)
By Colleen Ann Catalano
A lady once told me club soda will get stains out of anything. Pour club soda on the stain and rub with a terry hand towel than take a clean towel and blot the rest of the club soda out of your carpet. It really works. I use that remedy for all carpet stains. (03/07/2007)

Simulation of Tangerang-Merak toll road payment system begins
March 23, 2019 Add Comment
PT MMS president director Krist Ade Sudiyono said the system used dedicated short range communication technology to connect the device installed inside vehicles known as an onboard unit.
He said the technology worked on the basis of the exchange of information between the units and the readers that were placed on the toll roads.
Toll road operators are expected to soon implement a multi-lane free flow (MLFF) system. Under the system, toll road users do not need to stop to make payment.
The system is being simulated along the Tangerang-Merak toll road, which is managed by PT Marga Mandalasakti (MMS).
"To apply the system, both toll operators and motorists need to be ready," said Krist on Thursday.
He said for the simulation, the readers were installed at the entrance gates in West Serang and Cikande as well as exit gates in Cikupa and East Serang.
Toll Road Regulatory Agency member Agita Widjajanto said the government wanted to push the application of the system to make the traffic along toll roads smoother and more efficient.
"Before we apply the system, we will carry out a trial. We hope the new system benefits toll road users," he added. (bbn)

Maple Bacon Biscuit Bake
INGREDIENTS: Syrup:
- 1/2 pound bacon, cooked until medium-brown
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) cold butter
- 1 cup cold milk or cold buttermilk
1. Preheat the oven to 475°F. Lightly grease an 8" square or 9" round pan.
2. Syrup: Chop the cooked bacon into 1/2" pieces. Combine the bacon with the remaining syrup ingredients, stirring until well combined. Spread in the bottom of the prepared pan.
3. Biscuits: Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
4. Work in the butter until the mixture is crumbly; some larger, pea-sized pieces of butter may remain intact.
5. Add the milk or buttermilk, stirring to make a sticky dough.
6. Drop the dough in heaping tablespoonfuls atop the syrup in the pan. A tablespoon cookie scoop, slightly overfilled, works well here.
7. Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes. Turn the oven off, and leave them in the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until they're golden brown.
8. Remove the biscuits from the oven, and immediately turn the pan over onto a serving plate. Lift off the pan, and scrape any syrup left in the pan onto the biscuits. Pull biscuits apart to serve. Yield: 16 small biscuits.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems will become an integral part of electrical installations in the future, but they must be protected from harsh weather conditions if they are to remain useful for their full lifespan.
Lightning discharges cause field-based and conducted electrical interference. This effect increases with increasing cable lengths or conductor loops. Surges not only damage the PV modules, inverters and their monitoring electronics, but also devices in the building itself. More importantly, production facilities of industrial buildings may be damaged. The operation of equipment powered by solar electricity may be disrupted if surges are injected into systems situated far from the power grid.
The need for lightning protection
The energy released by a lightning discharge is one of the most frequent causes of fire. Therefore, personal and fire protection is paramount in he case of a direct lightning strike to the building.
It is evident whether a lightning protection system (LPS) is installed on a building at the design stage of the PV system. Some countries' building regulations require that public buildings be equipped with LPSs. In case of industrial or private buildings, it depends on their location, type of construction and utilisation whether or not a lightning protection system must be installed. To this end, it must be determined whether lightning strikes are to be expected or could have severe consequences.
Installing PV modules does not increase the risk of lightning strike and the request for lightning protection measures can therefore not be derived directly from the mere existence of a PV system. However, substantial lightning interference may be injected into the building through these systems and it is therefore necessary to determine the risk resulting from a lightning strike, according to IEC 62305-2, and to take the results from this risk analysis into account when installing the PV system.
The need for surge protection
Surges are induced on electrical conductors when lightning strikes. Surge protective devices (SPDs) installed upstream of the devices to be protected on the AC, DC and data side have proven very effective in protecting electrical systems from these destructive voltage peaks.
Section 9.1 of the CENELEC CLC/TS 50539-12 standard (selection and application principles – SPDs connected to photovoltaic installations) calls for the installation of surge protective devices unless a risk analysis demonstrates that SPDs are not required. According to IEC 60364-4-44 , surge protective devices must also be installed for buildings without external lightning protection system such as commercial and industrial buildings. Supplement 5 of DIN EN 62305-3 provides a detailed description of the types of SPD and their place of installation.
Cable routing of PV systems
Cables must be routed in such a way that large conductor loops are avoided. This must be observed when combining the DC circuits to form a string and when interconnecting several strings. Moreover, data or sensor lines must not be routed over several strings and form large conductor loops with the string lines. This must also be observed when connecting the inverter to the grid connection. For this reason, the power and data lines must be routed together with the equipotential bonding conductors along their entire route.
Earthing of PV systems
PV modules are typically fixed on metal mounting systems. The live PV components on the DC side feature double or reinforced insulation (comparable to the previous protective insulation) as required by IEC 60364-4-41. The combination of numerous technologies on the module and inverter side (e.g. with or without galvanic isolation) results in different earthing requirements.
The insulation monitoring system integrated in the inverters is only effective permanently if the mounting system is connected to earth. The metal substructure is functionally earthed if the PV system is located in the protected volume of the air-termination systems and the separation distance is maintained.
Section 7 of Supplement 5 requires copper conductors with a cross-section of at least 6 mm2 or equivalent for functional earthing (see Fig. 1). The mounting rails must also be interconnected permanently by means of conductors of this cross-section. These conductors become part of the lightning equipotential bonding system if the mounting system is connected directly to the external lightning protection system because the separation distance cannot be maintained.
As a consequence, these elements must be able to carry lightning currents. The minimum requirement for a lightning protection system designed for LPS III is a copper conductor with a cross-section of 16 mm2 or equivalent. Mounting rails must also be permanently interconnected by means of conductors of this cross-section (see Fig. 2). The functional earthing/lightning equipotential bonding conductor should be routed in parallel and as close as possible to the DC and AC cables or lines.

ISPD3 = ISPD1 + ISPD2 = Itotal

Separation distances to IEC 62305-3
A certain separation distance s must be maintained between a lightning protection system and the PV system. It defines the distance required to avoid uncontrolled flashover to adjacent metal parts resulting from a lightning strike to the external lightning protection system. In the worst case, such an uncontrolled flashover can set the building on fire. In this case, damage to the PV system becomes irrelevant.
Core shadows on solar cells
The distance between the solar generator and the external lightning protection system is essential to prevent excessive shading. Diffuse shadows cast by overhead lines, for example, do not affect the PV system and the yield significantly. However, in case of core shadows, a dark clearly outlined shadow is cast on the surface behind the object, changing the current flowing through the PV modules.
For this reason, solar cells and the associated bypass diodes must not be influenced by core shadows. This can be achieved by maintaining a sufficient distance. For example, if an air-termination rod with a diameter of 10 mm shades a module, the core shadow is steadily reduced as the distance from the module increases.
After 1,08 m only a diffuse shadow is cast on the module (see Fig. 4). Supplement 5 of DIN EN 62305-3 provides more detailed information on the calculation of core shadows.
Surge protection for the DC side
The U/I characteristics of PV current sources differ from conventional DC sources in that they have a non-linear characteristic (see Fig. 5) and cause long-term persistence of ignited arcs. This unique nature of PV current sources does not only require larger PV switches and PV fuses, but also a disconnector for the surge protective device which is adapted to this unique nature and which can of cope with
PV currents.
To facilitate the selection of type 1 SPDs, Tables 1 and 2 show the required lightning impulse current carrying capability Iimp depending on the class of LPS, number of down conductors of the external lightning protection systems as well as the SPD type (voltage-limiting varistor-based arrester or voltage-switching spark-gap-based arrester). EN 50539-11 compliant SPDs must be used.
Selection of SPDs according to voltage protection level
The operating voltage on the DC side of PV systems differs from system to system. At present, values up to 1500 V DC are possible. Consequently, the dielectric strength of terminal equipment also differs. The voltage protection level Up of the SPD must be lower than the dielectric strength of the PV system it protects, to ensure that the PV system is protected reliably.
Building with external LPS
Fig. 8 shows the surge protection concept for a PV system with external lightning protection system and sufficient separation distances between the PV system and the external lightning protection system.
The primary protection goal is to avoid damage to persons and property. It is therefore important that the PV system does not interfere with the external lightning protection system. The PV system itself must be protected from direct lightning strikes. This means that the PV system must be installed in the protected volume of the external lightning protection system. This protected volume is formed by air-termination systems preventing direct lightning strikes to the PV modules and cables. The protective angle or rolling sphere method may be used to determine this protected volume.
A certain separation distance must be maintained between all conductive parts of the PV system and the lightning protection system. In this context, core shadows must be prevented by, for example, maintaining a sufficient distance between the air-termination rods and the PV module.
Lightning equipotential bonding is an integral part of a lightning protection system .It must be implemented for all conductive systems and lines entering the building which may carry lightning currents. This is achieved by directly connecting all metal systems and indirectly connecting all energised systems via type 1 lightning current arresters to the earth-termination system. Lightning equipotential bonding should be implemented as close as possible to the entrance point into the building to prevent partial lightning currents from entering the building. The grid connection point must be protected by a multipole spark-gap-based type 1 SPD.
|Class of LPS and max. lightning current (10/350 µs)
|Number of down conductors of the external lightning protection system
|Values for the voltage-switching type 1 SPDs or type 1 combined SPDs (parallel connection)
|ISPD3 = ISPD1 + ISPD2 = Itotal
|ISPD3 = ISPD1 + ISPD2 = Itotal
|I or unknown
|200 kA
|150 kA
|III and IV
|100 kA
Sufficient protection is provided where the cable lengths between the arrester and the inverter are less than 10 m. In case of greater cable lengths, additional type 2 surge protective devices must be installed upstream of the AC input of the inverters according to CENELEC CLC/TS 50539-12.
This also applies to transformerless devices. Surge protective devices must be installed to protect data transmission if the inverters are connected to data lines to monitor the yield, for example,.
HV-resistant, insulated HVI conductor
Another way to maintain the separation distance is by means of HV-resistant, insulated conductors allowing a separation distance up to 0,9 m in air. HVI conductors may directly contact the PV system downstream of the sealing end range.
Buildings with insufficient separation distances
The separation distance s cannot be maintained where the roofing is made of metal or is formed by the PV system itself. The metal components of the PV mounting system must be connected to the external lightning protection system in such a way that they can carry lightning currents (copper conductor with a cross-section of at least 16 mm2 or equivalent). This means that lightning equipotential bonding must also be implemented for the PV lines entering the building from the outside.
PV systems with micro-inverters
Micro-inverters require a different surge protection concept. To this end, the DC line of a module or a pair of modules is connected directly to the small inverter. Unnecessary conductor loops must be avoided in this process. Inductive coupling into such small DC structures typically only has a low energetic destruction potential. The cabling of a PV system with micro-inverters is located on the AC side. Surge protective devices may only be installed on the AC side if the micro-inverter is fitted directly at the module.
Solar power generation systems are an integral part of today's electrical systems. They should be equipped with adequate lightning current and surge arresters, to ensure long-term faultless operation of these sources of electricity.

Ever thought about a digital marketing career? Whether you're a new graduate or changing careers, considering a digital marketing career is a great option.
Digital marketing, along with information technology, are among the top go-to fields in today's digital world.
Let's take a closer at the the ins-and-outs of a digital marketing career, including the best starting points for your first steps into digital marketing.
Making a Start
A digital marketing career can be very fulfilling and – some good news – the initial skills to start your career are easily self-taught. There are clear pathways to gaining the advanced knowledge and qualifications to process from there.
A Digital Marketing Career: What It Means
Before you consider delving into the digital marketing world, you need to know what digital marketing is. According to Statistical Analytics System, digital marketing is defined as "the promotion of products or brands via one or more forms of electronic media, differs from traditional marketing in that it uses channels and methods that enable an organization to analyze marketing campaigns and understand what is working and what isn't – typically in real time."
There are online marketing tools that make your digital marketing career easier and simpler for any task that comes your way.
Meanwhile, your digital marketing career will revolve around creating, monitoring, and evaluating marketing campaigns that are distributed to online clients. There are differences between digital marketing and traditional marketing. The major difference is how the marketing campaign is offered to the audience.
So, digital marketing refers to the promotion of products or services through electronic media and, by assessing campaigns, they understand what works for clients and what doesn't.
Why Digital Marketing? The Pros and Cons
It is natural for you to be hesitant when you think about starting your digital marketing career but our reasons showing why you should or shouldn't start your digital marketing career should help you make up your mind.
Pros of Pursuing a Digital Marketing Career
Your digital marketing career takes work and effort, yet you can start at any moment. You need to prepare yourself with all the qualifications needed to be a marketer. In normal cases, you wouldn't need to spend another four years in community college to learn about digital marketing. It is possible to take digital marketing courses and you'd be able to begin your digital marketing career.
Digital marketing is also a pocket-friendly career. This means that almost anyone can start the career without spending a huge amount of money; at least not above the average. In a digital marketing career, most platforms and tools are free and accessible to the public. This gives you the ability to digitize your marketing campaign and promote your brands.
The Kind of Tasks to Expect
You will also be able to reach multiple demographics and audiences at once; this makes it easier to reach your target as fast as possible. In a digital marketing career path, audience is everything. The more people you reach, the better you are at your job as a marketer. You will need to gain exposure and classify your company as a reliable source for information or production. By doing so, you'll have credentials and qualifications in your digital marketing career.
In your digital marketing career, you'll be faced with the task of research. You'll need to know how to capture your audience's attention as fast as possible and as easy as possible. According to Statistic Brain Research Institute, an average online user has an attention span of 8.25 seconds.
This means that in your digital marketing career, you'll need to work at a fast pace and consistent with the trends that pop up on the Internet. A big part of digital marketing is done online, also known as eMarketing, where you need to be constantly updated by what attracts viewers on the Internet.
The Cons: Things to Consider
However, there is always a downside when it comes to any decision you make. It is strongly recommended to start a digital marketing career, but you should know what you're getting yourself into. Digital marketing is not as easy as some people make it sound. You will be judged based on first impressions and immediate results. Because the audience have a short attention span, viewers will judge your content – and its results – from the very start.
Another issue is that digital marketing can easily be copied and traded off on another campaign. Many of the audience will be discouraged if they see the same content in every marketing campaign. This causes your campaign to lose viewers and for your company to lose exposure for their product. Therefore, originality is needed.
Digital marketing also involves risk. Your marketing ideas will always go through a process of trial and error. This risk includes financial risk, since any sponsored campaign requires funding.
Sometimes, you will have to work more than eight hours in order for your marketing to campaign to be successful. In your digital marketing career, you'll need to be able to have a thick skin. Your campaigns may attract negative responses or criticism sometimes, an unavoidable part of publishing in the online world!
How to Start Your Digital Marketing Career?
In order to start your digital marketing career, you'll need to acquaint yourself with its tools, channels, trends, and rules. You'll need to further understand the way social media channels operate and how to use them. As a digital marketer, you'll need to learn how to interact with users online in a way that will attract their attention; you'll also need to avoid inciting a negative response from the audience.
This is not an easy task to do, because there is a fine line between good quality 'on-trend' content and content that is already becoming redundant.
You'll also need to build a great personal virtual presence, in order to gain exposure. Just like with brands and products, sometimes you need to sell yourself. You can do so and interact with potential employers or colleagues through hiring platforms, such as LinkedIn.
In your digital marketing career, you will face challenges that do not exist in other fields. A good suggestion is to familiarize yourself with the ethics and legalities of digital marketing. By doing so, you're avoiding a mistake or in worst case scenarios, a lawsuit.
Your digital marketing career is a road to pave, since you learn almost everything on the job. You'll just need to understand your job description first. Next, you should build a strong online portfolio as you progress or execute projects. This shows potential employers that you are ready for anything that comes your way.
When to Start Your Digital Marketing Career?
There are a lot of career opportunities in digital marketing in the current job hunt. Many companies are either selling digital marketing services or they are outsourcing digital marketing services. In your digital marketing career, you'll find that your job is a product all on its own to be sold and traded with. A digital marketing career is an asset to any company, so, you must be able to adapt to any environment.
If you're going to take the career seriously, then start off with a few online courses about marketing. It is never too late to learn new things, plus you'll have an advantage against your peers.In addition, when you finish your online courses, you shouldn't expect to become a manager at your first try.
Your digital marketing career has to start with you at the bottom of the food chain, as it is in any career field. You shouldn't be discouraged for starting too late or for turning a new leaf; a digital marketing career is an opportunity that you can branch out from.
Different Types of Digital Marketing
You may think that a digital marketing career revolves around sitting ay your desk and working on marketing campaigns. Or, maybe you'll post on social media channels as a part of your daily quota. However, that's not all there is to digital marketing.
There are different types of digital marketing; it is a rather vast field of work. Among the most common types of digital marketing are Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Pay-Per Click (PPC).
SEO is one of the most effective types of digital marketing that most marketers use for their benefit. Almost every person in the world uses search engines as a way to find information. By using SEO, you are encouraging users to promote your product and rank higher on the list.
As for PPC advertising, it is one of the most efficient ways to gain exposure in the digital world. If you see an advertisement while you're scrolling through your Facebook feed, that's a Pay-Per Click advertisement. PPC can be a good asset when you have money to spend.
A Digital Marketing Career: Looking to the Future
In the past decade, there has been a fluctuation in the economy in all corners of the world. But, it seems that there has been a career growth in digital marketing. This is due to the constant reliability users have towards the Internet nowadays. Your digital marketing career will flourish under the technological circumstances that we face today, especially with social media platforms and smartphones.
While the change is tough, and you may be worrying about what is yet to come, there's a guarantee that the dependency on digital media will continue to increase. So, you're going to find that there are a lot of career opportunities in digital marketing; you'll be starting your digital marketing career in no time.
Bottom Line: Start Your Digital Marketing Career and Never Look Back
Ready to make a decision about your digital marketing career? There are also many available articles and material online to educate yourself more on the topic.
Digital marketing may not be a traditional, 9-to-5 job, but it is a fulfilling one. You will be able to interact and reach people from all over the world with just one click. That's exciting. You will also develop skills from WordPress to basic HTML, all while you're on the job and gaining experience.
The right time to start your digital marketing career is now, while the industry is booming. The career growth of digital marketing is expanding by the hour and you should be a part of it too.
Good luck!

'Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the house, creatures were coming in droves to see The Hobbit. And everybody was pretty happy, except for a Cinema Elf called Cellulloyd (Lloyd for short.)
The truth was, Lloyd had been lost in an elfin slumber since the Nelson Civic Theatre went dark three years ago. Now, out in the lobby there arose such a clatter he sprang from his bed to see what was the matter. And what to his wondering eyes should appear but — a theatre full of moviegoers!
Lloyd was grumpy as anyone would be when abruptly awakened from a long winter's nap. He stood, blinking, wondering what could be causing all this prancing and pawing and general excitability.
"If they could all just keep it down," he grumbled, "an elf could get a little shuteye now and then."
But the people kept coming, and the seats — it occurred to Lloyd that when he'd rolled himself up in a theatre curtain back in '09, there hadn't been seats — kept filling up.
"They're rattling their popcorn bags," he snarled with a sneer, looking less elfin and more grinchly by the minute.
"It's almost showtime; it's practically here!" Then he growled, with his elf-fingers nervously drumming. "I must find some way to keep showtime from coming!"
"There's only one thing to do," he muttered, and off he went to look for Mono, the old speaker who lived behind the screen.
"If I can just get Mono to garble the sound, they'll all leave and I can get some peace," he said to himself.
"It's worked before."
But Mono wasn't there. As the house-lights dimmed, Lloyd heard a sound like a chorus of angels. "What could it be?" he asked himself, and as he listened in wonder he heard someone say, "Wow. Isn't this Dolby Surround Sound great?"
"Who is this Dolby, and what has he done with my old friend Mono?" wondered Lloyd with growing alarm.
Millie would know.
The narrow, winding stairs to the old projection booth were just as Lloyd remembered; at the top would be his old friend the 35mm projector, as lovely as any fading movie star.
"If I can get Millie to overheat," thought Lloyd, "Or even break her film, they'll all go home and I can get a good night's sleep after all."
At the top of the stairs, Lloyd stopped dead. The old projector was gone! "Who are you? And what have you done with Millie!?" cried Lloyd.
"I'm Christie," said the small black box. "Millie's the projector of Christmas Past; I'm the projector of Christmas present — and future."
Lloyd folded his arms. "Stop mixing metaphors," he said. "We're working with The Night Before Christmas."
"You started it with that Grinch stuff," countered Christie. "Anyway, the show's about to begin. Climb up," she said kindly, "I may be digital, but I'm still warm. Make yourself comfortable."
There was nothing Lloyd could do: the movie was starting, and he realized it had been far too long since he'd seen the big screen lit up.
When the film began, "What a picture," he breathed. "Crystal clear! And what sound! It was never like this before. And — hey, what are those things?"
"Hobbits," Christie told him. "Like elves, a little."
"Really?" Lloyd was rapt. This new state of affairs was not so bad after all.
Lloyd's appreciation for the new, digital Nelson Civic Theatre grew three sizes that day. As the final credits rolled and the happy crowd filed out into the winter's night, the elf curled up sleepily on the warm projector.
"How did all this happen?" Lloyd asked before drifting off.
"You're not the only elf around," Christie told him. "I'd say the Civic has quite a case of elves. A good thing, wouldn't you say?"
"Merry movies to all," agreed Lloyd. "And to all a good night."

While admitting that at this point no conclusive evidence has been produced to show any wrongdoing by President Donald Trump and his campaign to impede the FBI's investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 presidential election, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said there is "mounting evidence" of it.
Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein held a closed session with Blumenthal and other senators on Thursday about his appointment of former FBI Director Bob Mueller as special counsel to conduct the investigation going forward.
At a stake-out with reporters at the Capitol, Blumenthal also said that right now only allegations of "potential" misdeeds are on the table as to possible collusion or obstruction of justice charges.
But when Blumenthal was asked by a reporter whether, following the meeting, he believed that the probe has transformed from a counterintelligence investigation into a criminal investigation he answered the latter.
"It's more than just counterintelligence," Blumenthal said. "We're talking about [a] criminal investigation."
But Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters he would not characterize the nature of the investigation given his role in the ongoing congressional oversight into the matter.
Trump, meanwhile, said on Wednesday that the investigation would conclude no misdeeds took place.
"As I have stated many times, a thorough investigation will confirm what we already know: that there was no collusion between my campaign and any foreign entity," Trump said. "I look forward to this matter concluding quickly.
"In the meantime, I will never stop fighting for the people and the issues that matter most to the future of our country," Trump said.

As word is becoming one small village because of globalization there is no aspect of our life which has not got affected by the cultural mingling. Our kitchens are now flourishing with the food from all over the word whether it is continental, Chinese, Thai or Italian.
There has always been heated debate when it comes to westernization. No doubt that western food culture has been influencing Indian kitchens since last few decades. There are always two sides to coin. Before you jump on to argue how western fast food is ruining our heath let us show the both sides of the impact of western culture in Indian kitchens.
What has changed?

Over the past few years invoice financing has become very popular. Every year since 2008, the amount borrowed in this way has grown by at least 9%. There are several reasons for this growth, and here we will consider a few of them.
The financial crisis
By far the biggest reason for the growth of alternative borrowing is the financial crisis. When the recession began in 2008, many UK firms which wanted to borrow money suddenly found that they were unable to do so. Lenders simply turned down their applications. The amount lent to UK business by traditional financial institutions since 2008 has fallen by a staggering £57 billion.
This slowdown in lending left thousands of firms with no choice, they had to look elsewhere for the cash they needed or go out of business. Fortunately, many business owners quickly discovered that they could raise the money they needed using invoice financing.
Word of mouth
Prior to the financial crisis, most business owners had not even heard of invoice financing. Today, that is no longer the case. Those firms which have used it as a way to borrow money are now telling other companies about it. This has had a snowball effect, leading to more and more firms seeking to borrow money using their invoices as security.
It is quick and easy
Invoice financing has also grown in popularity because it is a very fast and easy way to borrow money. With this form of borrowing, there is no need to fill out reams of paperwork or to draw up a business plan.
The decisions about how much will be lent and how much it will cost are made in a few days or even hours. Many traditional lenders take weeks to decide whether they will lend or not. Often when they do decide to lend, their terms and conditions are long and difficult to understand. In addition, the charges can be high. With invoice financing, the terms of the loan are short and the exact cost is easy to determine.
The speed of borrowing in this way is extremely useful to modern firms. They often need to move fast to take advantage of new business opportunities or to buy raw materials at a discounted rate. Being able to secure a loan and get the money within just a few days gives firms a big advantage, which is another reason invoice financing is becoming so popular.
A form of borrowing that any kind of business can use
The fact that invoice financing has become more accessible has also helped to make it more popular. In the past, to qualify for this kind of finance, a firm would have to be well established and have a turnover of at least £50,000, as well as a good credit record.
Today, firms do not have always have to meet such stringent criteria to borrow money using invoice financing. These days, it is even possible for some sole traders and start-ups to qualify for this kind of loan, which is another reason it is growing in popularity.
