If you are planning to have a website and want to make your web designer understand the proper scope of the project then wireframe is the most suitable technique you should apply.

Wireframes are nothing but hand drawn blocks of the site giving an idea of various placeholders for the website.

These placeholder can in turn be then explained by the client in order to make a web designer understand how the website will function overall.

There are a few things that should be remembered when you create a wireframe:
1. Boxes should be clean and very basic (not very fancy to confuse)
2. Simple layouts to be used even though the actual design may be complex.
3. Various call to actions for the website to be noted.
4. Various levels or pages to be explained in separate wireframes.
5. After each wireframe explain in points the working of various blocks.

In engineering as a block diagram explains the working of a circuit similarly in web designing a wireframe explains the flow and working of a website in a very basic way.

What do you need to create your first wireframe?
1. A nice pen or pencil (i prefer pencil since you can erase as well)
2. A white paper (not the old ones which look yellow)
3. A eraser
4. A nice coffee for company (this one i use normally)

Now all you need to do is draw by hand or use some fancy things like VISIO and draw your first site wireframe.

I bet these wireframes will make the scope of the project much clearer to any website designer.

Artifacts are the treasures of this world. They help to discover the mysterious secrets of the ancient times with their various forms and unique designs. The value of ancient items increases with the authenticity of the material. They not only raise the interest of the collectors but they are very much favourite to the interior decorators of modern times. Decorating the interior of the home with ancient artifacts is a new technique to enrich the sophistication. This also adds an additional flavor to the uniqueness with the decoration. Even decoration with the orient items is nostalgia for the west. They prefer to place several old artistic forms on their centre table of the room or may be at any visible corner of the hall. Decorators visit Gallery filled with ancient items for their several projects on the demand of their clients. 

 

Top selling items are always favourite for such interior designers as they are the hot cake of the moment. Home owners prefer to add something very unique in the decoration of the house. Nothing but the artifacts can give what they exactly expect as there can never be any replica of the same item from the ancient era. Having an exceptional look is always on demand for the home owners while they engage any professional just for the interior purpose. Statues, swords, coins from old days and from different parts of this world can uplift the status of your home and home owners love to be proud with their home. Ancient artifacts give an appealing look to the decoration of the home. Selecting the perfect item for the perfect place can enhance the personality of the home. This is the only way to make your home a little different from the other. 

 

Accessing of ancient artifacts has turned out to be very easy if you can find out the best place to expense your money. Authenticity is the most significant factor to keep in the mind while purchasing the artifacts for any reason. It is true that the opportunity to find ancient art online may have made the path very easy and smooth but the chances to be fooled have increased a lot than the real establishments. If you can find an authentic gallery you will be definitely a gainer in terms of collecting items for your purpose. 

 

Specifically the demand of the authentic ancient artifacts for the interior decoration has risen just because of the materials like ceramic, stone and other naturally stirring objects. Such materials look really good and exceptional for the interior of any house. Interior professionals favour to use beads made of shell, ancient vases, coins, oil lamps, arrows, pots, stone spearheads. Specifically the home owners prefer to use such classified kinds of materials for their home. Actually artifacts contain the flavor of past days and cultures. This is the reason behind the exceptional demand items of the bygone era. Enriching the interior of your home with such an old flavor is really something very authentic and incomparable. 

 

Such materials can be used at any corner of your home as ingredients to enrich the decoration of your home. They are really outstanding to increase the ethnicity of the decor for your house. It is also very essential to have an access on the authentic resource and Gallery NYC can be a great place. In spite of the fact that the web world has made the availability of such ingredients very smooth but nothing can do anything with the uncommon factor of those materials for the whole world? They are unique in the terms of their materials and designs and such uniqueness give the bonus flavor to your home.

The term “Coffin” is usually applied to the rectangular or anthropoid container in which the Egyptians placed the mummified body, whereas the word “Sarcophagus” (Greek: “Flesh-Eating”) is used to refer only to the stone outer container, invariably encasing one or more coffins.  The distinction made between these two items of Egyptian funerary equipment is therefore essentially an artificial one, since both shared the same role of protecting the body of the deceased.  In terms of decoration and shape, coffins and sarcophagi drew on roughly the same iconographic stylistic repertoire.

 

The earliest burials in Egypt contain no coffins and were naturally desiccated by the hot sand.  The separation of the body of deceased from the surrounding sand by the use of a coffin or sarcophagus ironically led to the deterioration of the body, perhaps stimulating developments in mummification.  The religious purpose of the coffin was to ensure the well-being of the deceased in the afterlife, literally providing a “house” for the “Ka”.

 

The earliest coffins were baskets or simple plank constructions in which the body was placed in a flexed position.  From these developed and valuated house-shaped coffins that remained in use into the fourth Dynasty (2613 – 2494 BC).  At around this time, the Egyptians began to bury the deceased body in an extended position, perhaps because the increasingly common practice of evisceration made such an arrangement more suitable.  By the end of the Old Kingdom (2181 BC), food offerings were being painted on the inside of coffins as an extra means of providing sustenance for the deceased in the event of the tomb chapel being destroyed or neglected.  In the Old & Middle Kingdom, a pair of eyes was often painted on the side of the coffin that faced east when it was placed in the tomb.  It was evidently believed that the deceased could therefore look out of the coffin to see his or her offerings and the world from which he or she had passed, as well as to view the rising Sun.  

 

Decorated coffins became still more important in the First Intermediate Period (2181 – 2055 BC), when many tombs contained little mural decoration.  It was thus essential that coffins themselves should incorporate the basic elements of the tomb and by the Middle Kingdom (2055 – 1650 BC), they often incorporated revised extracts of the Pyramid Texts, known as the coffin texts.  This change reflects the increased identification of the afterlife with Osiris, rather than the Sun-God “Ra”.

 

Anthropoid coffins first appeared in the 12th Dynasty (1985 – 1795 BC), apparently serving as substitute bodies lest the original be destroyed.  With the New Kingdom (1550 – 1069 BC), this form of coffins became more popular and the shape became identified with Osiris himself; his beard and crossed arms sometimes being added.  The feathered, rishi coffins of the 17th and early 18th Dynasty were once thought to depict the wings of the goddess Isis, embracing her husband Osiris, but are now considered by some scholars to refer to the BA bird.  Rectangular coffins were effectively replaced by anthropoid types in the 18th Dynasty; but some of their decorative elements were retained.

 

In the Third Intermediate Period (1069 – 747 BC), coffins, papyri and stelae became the main vehicles for funerary scenes that had previously been carved and painted on the walls of tomb chapels.  The principal feature of most of the new scenes depicted on coffins was the Osirian and solar mythology surrounding the concept of rebirth, including the judgment of the deceased before Osiris and the journey into the underworld, the voyage of the Solar Bark and parts of the Litany of Ra.  Among the new scenes introduced in the decoration of coffins and on funerary papyri was the depiction of the separation of the earth-god Geb from the sky-goddess Nut.

 

The excavation of the 21st & 22nd Dynasty royal tombs at Tanis has provided a number of examples of the royal coffins of the period (although the sarcophagi were sometimes reused from the New Kingdom).  The cache of mummies of high priests of Amun at Deir el-Bahri has also yielded a large number of private coffins of the 21st Dynasty (1069 – 945 BC).  It was also from the end of the New Kingdom onwards that the interiors of the coffins began to be decorated again; beneath the lid-especially in the 22nd Dynasty (945 – 715 BC), there was often a representation of Nut, while the “goddess of the West”, Hathor, or the Djed Pillar began to be portrayed on the coffin floor.  During the Late Period, extracts from the Book of the Dead were sometimes also inscribed inside the coffin.  

 

In the 25th Dynasty a new repertoire of coffin types, usually consisting of sets of two or three (including an inner case with pedestal, an intermediate anthropoid outer coffin), was introduced, becoming established practice by the 26th Dynasty.  Late Period coffins were characterized by archaism, involving the reintroduction of the earlier styles of coffin decoration, such as the provision of the eye panel.  

 

There are comparatively few excavated burials dating from c.525 to 350 BC, but more coffins have survived from the succeeding phase (30th Dynasty and early Ptolemaic Period), when they typically have disproportionately large heads and wigs.  During the early Ptolemaic Period, many mummies were provided with cartonnage masks and plaques, fixed on to the body by strips of line.

Physicians in the Classical World had access to a variety of medical & surgical instruments that were designed to aid them in their treatment of the sick. Several ancient texts mention the use of surgical tools and instruments used by doctors in antiquity. The precise date when each instrument was first employed is largely unknown. The most of the instruments seemed to have been available to Hippocrates (c. 460) and continued to be used throughout the late Roman Empire with several existing in a similar form still being used by physicians today.  The Greco-Roman Age covers the period when the Romans ruled the Greek World.  Greek medicine and surgery grew up side by side, as partners and medicine continued to develop under the Romans who had gained much of their medical knowledge from the Greeks; so much so that Julius Caesar gave Roman citizenship to all free-born Greek physicians practicing in Rome.  The Romans easily conquered Macedonia and Greece in 197 BC but proclaimed “the freedom of Greece” the following year only to return in 167 BC to abolish the Macedonian kingdom that refused to follow their wishes.  Roman armies swept into Southern Greece taking action against those who disobeyed their orders. Another recognized period known as the Greco-Roman occurred from the time of the great physician, Galen, until the fall of the Roman Empire.  Toward the end of this era, Greek influence began to fade.  Only a few medical men were respected but most were little better off than slaves do. After a time, Roman medicine fell into the orbit of Byzantine Culture and lost the original virility inherited from the Greeks.  

 

Physicians and dentists in the Ancient World had a variety of surgical instruments available to them in the treatment of the sick and a number of ancient manuscripts mention the use of surgical tools. Bone drills were used to remove diseased bone tissue and foreign objects of considerable thickness, such as a weapon, from a bone. Hooks were commonly used and came in two varieties, either sharp or blunt.  The sharp hooks were used to hold and lift small pieces of tissue so that it could be extracted.  They were also used to retract the edges of the wounds. The spatula probe was used for the mixing, measuring and applying of different medications.  The medical scalpel was used to make a variety of incisions but it seemed to be particularly suited for making either deep or long cuts. Aetius, a 6th century physician, described using a forceps to crush the uvula before cutting it off in order to prevent hemorrhaging.

 

Scalpels could be made of steel, bronze, or a combination of the two metals (such as a steel blade and a bronze handle). Ancient scalpels had almost the same form and function as their modern counterparts do today. The two long steel scalpels that make up the first and third columns of the accompanying image are examples of the most ordinary type of scalpel from antiquity. These long scalpels could be used to make a variety of incisions, but they seem to be particularly suited to making either deep or long cuts. The four bronze scalpels, which make up columns two and four, are generally referred to as "bellied scalpels." This variety of scalpel was another favorite of physicians in antiquity since the shape of its handle allowed more delicate and precise cuts to be made (such as incisions between ribs). 

 

Hooks were another common instrument used regularly by Greek and Roman doctors. The hooks, the ancient doctors used, came in two basic varieties: sharp and blunt. Both of these types of hooks are still used by modern surgeons for many of the same purposes for which the ancient doctors first used them. For instance, blunt hooks were primarily used as probes for dissection and for raising blood vessels. Sharp hooks, were used to hold and lift small pieces of tissue so that they could be extracted and to retract the edges of wounds.  

 

The Forceps, with their finely toothed jaws, were probably designed to facilitate the amputation of the uvula. This procedure, as described by Aetius in the first half of the sixth century, called for the physician to crush the uvula with forceps before cutting it off in order to prevent hemorrhaging.  Forceps also were used by ancient doctors to extract the small fragments of bone, which could not be grasped by the fingers. Naturally, physicians often used such forceps in conjunction with bone drills.

 

Bone drills were generally driven in their rotary motion by means of a thong in various configurations. Greek and Roman physicians used bone drills in order to excise diseased bone tissue from the skull and to remove foreign objects of considerable thickness (such as a weapon) from a bone.  

 

Physicians in the Classical World employed catheters in order to open up a blocked urinary tract, which allowed urine to pass freely from the body. These early catheters were essentially hollow tubes made of steel or bronze and had two basic designs: one with a slight S curve for male patients and another straighter one for females. The same doctors also used similar shaped devices, which were solid, as opposed to hollow, in order to probe the bladder in search of calcifications.

 

Summery: The Greco-Roman Age covers the period when the Romans ruled the Greek World.  Greek medicine and surgery grew up side by side, as partners and medicine continued to develop under the Romans who had gained much of their medical knowledge from the Greeks.

A well manicured lawn along with flowers and bushes are one way to spruce up your lawn but so are lawn decorations. And a very popular one these days are decorative windmills. Whether you want to create a specific style to your yard, change things up a bit or just enhance what you already have, these windmills are the perfect tool to so just that.

 

Sizes usually range from 4 feet to 30 feet and prices can vary from 100 dollars to the thousands.

It all depends on what look you are going for in your yard. A decorative windmill does not pump water. They are meant only for viewing and adding a vocal point in your yard.  They are perfect if you are trying to create a certain focal point in your lawn and the spinning fan blades can sometimes scare away animals from your vegetable garden.

 

Determining what size is right for your lawn or garden is the first step. The second is determining where to place it. It is important to consider where the most wind is generated in your lawn or garden. People do enjoy seeing the wind blowing and turning the windmill fan blades.  Proper placement will not only bring lots of compliments, but it can also serve as a great conversation piece.

 

There are many different types of windmills but you may want to consider purchasing an aluminum wind mill with stainless steel nuts and bolts.  They will not rust and never need painting. You also want to make sure that when you assemble your windmill that it is properly anchored.

 

So if you are looking to spruce up your lawn and garden a decorative windmill may be right for you. Just be sure to do a little research regarding the different types and sizes and scope out the perfect spot in your yard. Another thing to keep in mind with the holiday season right around the corner…decorative garden windmill make excellent and unique presents!

The first question most people ask is what is Composting anyway? Composting is decayed organic matter that has broken down to a soil like consistency and it is an excellent organic addition to your lawn and garden. Composting is taking garden and/or lawn waste along with certain food scraps, and recycling it into a valuable natural material. It then can be used as mulch in your garden beds and can provide nutrient value to your lawn and vegetable garden. Compost also provides good organic matter to your flowerbeds, lawn and gardens. Compost can be used instead of chemical fertilizers and is a natural solution for most organic gardens.

 

What happens during this process of composting is a breakdown of waste materials are digested by microbes, bacteria and fungi.  The microbes that are the workers of the composting world. When supplied with the proper amounts of air and water these microbes help with the composting process and reduce the chance of a bad odor.  This will only happen if there is not sufficient air going through the composting bin or pile. If the composting bin is producing a bad odor, you can fix this by turning the compost with a manure fork and adding more yard waste to circulate more air.

 

Besides all the benefits compost can do for your lawn and garden, there is a larger benefit.  Compost reduces space used in landfills and helps to reduce methane gases produced by these landfills. This also helps reduce the amount of yard waste you carry to the curb every week. So you can stop bagging and dragging your yard waste.

 

Before starting your composting there are decisions you will need to make. First, what kind of will you need to get started? Next, what kind of waste will you add into your composting bin?  Finally, picking the best place in your backyard to place the bin. This should be in the back corner and away from your house as well as your neighboring houses. Remember it is best to start small and simple.

 

Compost is really not that hard to make. You just need a layer of green yard waste followed by a layer of brown decaying yard waste to your For your green material you can use yard waste such as leaves and dry grass clippings. Don’t use wet grass or wet leaves.  Next, your brown layer materials can include dry grass, dry leaves, shredded branches, dry twigs, straw, and dry garden waste. Regardless of when and how you decide to start composting your waste one thing is for sure, you will have less yard waste going to the landfill.

 

Now go out and buy yourself a and get started.  With a little experimenting and reading up on composting you will quickly become an expert at it. Along with saving trips to the curb you will be producing an organic material that will make your lawn and garden thrive and grow. With greener grass and bigger flowers you will be the envy of your neighborhood.

Did you know that there are Certain vegetables that really help to stimulate the burning of abdominal fat? Sounds crazy doesn't it?

There called xenoestrogens, and exposure to them from the chemicals that are in our food supply, water and environment can stimulate your body to hold onto all that stomach fat. Even if you eat organic food and you live in a low pollution area, it is almost impossible to not get some degree of exposure to those xenoestrogens. Why? Because they are also found in our household cleaners, and are even found in womens cosmetics.

Want a new look to your house, back yard, or garden?  Then a decorative garden windmill may be exactly what you are looking for! They come in all kinds of sizes, shapes and colors, and they are a great addition for your lawn and garden. Prices can vary from just a under a 100 dollars to thousands, and their size usually ranges from 4 Feet to 30 Feet. Currently there are many companies manufacturing many types of decorative garden windmills with about every style you can imagine.  You just need to determine how much you are willing to spend and how much yard space you have for it.

A few things you may want to think of before purchasing a garden windmill:

The first step is discovering the best spot for your decorative windmill. You can either position it in your backyard, front yard or your garden as a part of your landscaping. Be sure it has access to plenty of wind and a level surface for the structure. It’s a good idea to consider where the most wind is generated in your yard before building your decorative garden windmill.

Next you should consider of the type of materials the windmill is made from. It could possibly be made of wood, aluminum, metal, textile or plastic. You should really think of purchasing an aluminum decorative windmill because they will not rust and never need painting. Also, make sure the manufacturer uses roller bearings that can be greased as well as stainless steel nuts and bolts, because they will not rust and should last a lifetime. Also consider where it is manufactured.  There are several companies producing them right here in America and if you ever needs parts they will be much easier to order.

Finally, you need to consider the correct windmill size so that it fits in ideally with your lawn and garden landscape theme. Too large of a windmill may over power your yard and too small of a windmill may not be seen.  Another issue to consider is how easily your windmill can be assembled and that all needed parts are included.

Decorative Windmills have become a great addition to many backyards yard all across America. People enjoy watching the wind flow over a windmill ornament, with its long history and great American tradition behind it. A side benefit of owning a garden decorative windmill is that it can create conversations at gatherings and adds value to your home.

Understanding how to charm women isn’t as tough as it seems. It is not affair what you appear like, who your associates are; you can be a Star Trek fan and yet attract more women. May be they are naturally like that or are brought up that way or it is because of the society that compels them to be so.

Several men are of the sort that they can never be appealing to ladies, May be they are naturally like that or are brought up that way or it is because of the society that dating age compels them to be so.

But if you want to augment your dating game and get together with new ladies who don’t come off out on you, then possibly you should bear in mind that it’s probable - and prejudicial to be too good.

The truth is, most men don't catch the attention of women, not because of their bad looks, but because they live with the supposition that they can never be able to charm women. If you desire to live a woman dating life where you are competent to attract a woman without difficulty and without the typical hesitation then you must change the way you think.

The matter with good guys is they don’t know the primary thing about how magnetism works at the side of ladies. They make the blunder of thinking that if they’re kind and well-mannered to a lady, she’ll be fond of them even to the extent of getting into a relationship with them. They are very wrong.

Attraction is far-off emotion than a thought - and ladies don’t think, because he is a nice man and gives respects. I can fall for him. Attraction is irrational, and trying to succeed her by following specific rules of etiquette will not get you somewhere. you can do exactly the contradictory.

Learn...
• To come close to women in any circumstance, without fear of rejection.
• To get rid of the fear to be rejected no issue how many times it occurred to you in the past.
• To make a woman believe that you are her true mate.
• To employ body language to make her feel charmed by you.
• To speak and when to speak it to make them go passionate about you.
• make out what she desires or expects from you.
• become skilled at the seduction method step by step.

It’s easy for a lady to make out the difference between a nice free dating man and a man who’s the contradictory of nice. In a flicker, she recognizes that he is unlike the other men she’s met in the past. He thus wins. He is certain and humorous, he is self-determining, and he’s got his act in concert. Believe me when I declare that ladies go for confidence more than appearances and riches in a man.

A man must also pay some interest in grooming. Women choose a man who takes care of himself and looks perfect these days. The majority women do not choose men who have unkempt hair, a fat tummy and grubby teeth. Success is also an enormous aspect on how to magnetize women. Success is very important in this era success so you should endeavor to succeed in whatever you wish to do.

You must pursue these tips if you want to attract women. These tips are realistic.

In the years I've invested myself in dedication to the business of Internet Marketing, I've observed that though technologies and different fields of expertise appear and recede overtime like any other ever-changing business outlook, only timeless, universal principles remain.

The first and foremost characteristic of Internet Marketing is automation. Alex Mandossian once said that "Internet Marketing is meant to train us as lazy workers but high thinkers." We are constantly thinking of better ways to attain 100% automation, which is near impossible, for thinking itself is already hard work.

Despite this, Internet Marketing may not be simple, but it is definitely very systematic in nature, such that it is really an easy business to do due to the availability of metrics software for performance measurement. By knowing and understanding results-by-the-numbers, Internet marketers can tweak and re-launch sales and marketing campaigns for better returns. This is not something that brick-and-mortar businesses are capable of and ready to embrace as part of their daily business handling activities.

Coming back to principles, here are 10 things you can always bear in mind as you go about doing your business online. Even if you are attempting one niche after another (and that's what some self-employed do these days), following a certain entrepreneurial pattern based on principles can help you get into the thick of action easily and systematically.

1) Provide lots of quality content on your website. The litmus test is: Would you freely publish something that you would otherwise sell?

2) Be tight, comprehensive and cohesive about your site theme. For example, your site may be about dogs rather than dog collars, which is a smaller, more focused niche. Nonetheless, you can design and implement a clear structure with different sections covering dog training, dog hygiene, dog naming, dog psychology, doggy habits, etc. You can aim for a portal or library of information and it can still not be confusing.

3) Setup a blog. You heard this many time: "Search engines love blogs." Well, go and create one, link it up to your main site, publish snippets of information and send out RSS feeds. Search engines will find you fast!

4) Create a plan of using traffic exchanges, safelists, FFA lists etc. to draw traffic to your site. I, like many people, did not believe that you can funnel targeted traffic from these places, until I came across a few experts in this area.

5) Build a lead capture page offering a powerful freebie, an e-course or a reason visitors can't refuse...on condition they must subscribe to you.

6) Create free materials like viral e-books to give away. Write articles and e-courses and submit everywhere you can. Reuse your articles to suit every possible form of online and offline media. Just keep your eyes open. What goes around always comes around. You are bound to be famous on the Internet in 6 months if not a year. Or start an article/free e-book directory service yourself! You can attract more writers and material seekers with the most minimal of effort.

7) Get your visitors and subscribers involved with YOU. Give them a role, a stake or control over the content of your site, forum, chat room, online survey or newsletter etc. You can sustain their interest and effectively build up not only traffic volume but also the quality of customer relationships overtime. The noblest yet most challenging thing to do is finding ways to build up their own monetary value. That's what Jay Abraham, Bob Proctor and many other experts do.

8) Create an affiliate program for your products and services to encourage affiliates bring new referrals to you! It's a great way to get targeted newcomers to your site.

9) Create postcards with your e-zine information and business cards to hand out at events. Also print out articles and hand them around at events (which must be appropriate in context). Your signature at the articles' end leads them to your site. Show them you are the expert here!

10) One great way to multiply subscriber addresses in your list is invite fellow online marketers to swap e-zine ads with you. Many marketers know the benefit of this, and it's free and easy to implement. All it takes is mutual agreement on how often and how many times to publish each other's ads!

Yes, there is a lot of work involved, these 10 points are only general and the devil is in the details. But you see, even though I'm no SEO or link exchange techie, I am carrying out all 10 points in my daily work and with continuous measurement of my results my income has nowhere else to go but up as I optimize the monetary value of my effort. Ultimately I am doing what these 10 points say because they can sustain online longevity.

When you seriously put them into practice, turning your actions into regular habits is only a matter of time. In one year, your situation will be much better than where you are today, and all you need to do is create a system of productive action based on these 10 points. This is my encouragement to you.
