tips to preserving your art prints on canvas for a bed and breakfast

Tuesday, November 30th, 2004

Tips to Preserving Your Art Prints on Canvas for a Bed and Breakfast Instead of spending a fortune on canvas paintings to decorate your bed and breakfast, use art prints on canvas . You get the art printed on the same material an artist would use at a much cheaper price. It doesn’t have to be a reproduced painting. It may be any other image or picture you would just like to display on canvas. Like original paintings on canvas, the same care should be given to art prints on canvas. Here are some tips to preserve your art prints on canvas. 1. Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight or heat. Even if you used UV-protected ink for the print, the fabric of the canvas itself is not protected from sunlight. Your ink may not fade, but the canvas will wear out eventually when exposed to the elements. 2. Use acid-free materials. Using materials that contain acid will cause the canvas to turn yellow over time, destroying the quality of your canvas art prints. Make sure the frame, backing and ink used are all acid-free. 3. Temperature and humidity. Do not store your canvas art prints where they will be exposed to significant temperature changes and humidity. The changes may also result in warping your frame, aside from damaging the art prints on canvas. 4. Outdoors. Canvas prints are primarily made for indoor use although it is still possible to display them outside. You may want to have your print treated with a waterproof lacquer first. You should be able to find these lacquers in your local arts and craft stores. 5. Cleaning. Clean your canvas prints using a soft brush occasionally to remove any dust or lint that may accumulate. Be careful when brushing so you don’t wear out the canvas or stretch it more than it already is. Do not wipe the surface or the ink might smudge. Do not use any fluids on the surface only a soft brush or duster. Following the tips above and treating your art prints on canvas with constant care and protection, you can enjoy your canvas print for a very long time. Choose a cool and dry environment with stable temperature for your canvas prints. Such an environment will ensure the longevity of your canvas prints. Selecting a constantly clean environment also helps.

honour killing justice horror in haryana

Tuesday, November 30th, 2004

It is a male dominated society in Haryana. No matter how developed is Haryana regarding its education, and fertile land in the world but it is a land of curse for the people who are in love with each other. Every year thousands of lives are sacrificed irrespective of caste, creed, religion, or the social status of the family. People kill their own clan or kin for their false pride and honour. It has become a grave yard due to all these killings. In all these the castes who consider themselves regional or very faithful are Jat, Tyagi, Rajput, and Gujjars. For the past one decade they are going through a phase of Cultural duality. There traditional value system is such that determine their eating habits, marriages etc. Same is the case with dalits and backward caste people.There whole social life is surrounded by and revolves around all these traditional beliefs and values. The source of all this is developed over a time and influenced slowly and slowly and socially these things were approved by the society.Haryana is a state bordering the National Capital, where the Panchayats give death penalty for the lovers. The worst part is knowingly the police Acts as a mere spectator and they don’t even register the case and if by chance the case is registered no proper action is taken in lieu of the excessive social pressure. In our democratic history no legal or social action against the regional Panchayats who pass such judgments and are not taken to task in lieu of social pressure. It is because of this reason the regional and caste panchayats are so harsh that they give death penalty straight away irrespective of what the circumstances are.The caste panchayats are in themselves special court of law like the “khap panchayat” (Federal clan council of the Jats and other kindred people of Upper Doab, Haryana and neighboring areas) as known by the name. It hears matters relating to12 to 14 villages and various matters and problems relating to them. It is mentioned in there history that there way of approaching and handling the things is not only in humane but it is against the laws because whenever they sit in a group they are more powerful than the police and the Legal Administration . The youth and women even older women are the maximum victims of these panchayats. Due to all these glaring facts the opposition of people has not been seen. It is due to the reason that a responsible citizen of the society has tried his level best to hide the actual facts.In the year-2005, in Jind one girl and two boys committed suicide. Their story was published in the regional papers which stated that the persons who committed suicide were in love with each other. But their story was in itself suspense.In April, 2008 there was Honor killing in a village of Kaithal (Haryana) and the panchayat pradhan of the village has declared in support of Honor Killing.In Karnal, May 2008 a pregnant housewife and her lover were strangled to death in a village near Karnal allegedly by her relatives, police have arrested four persons including the girl’s father in connection with the ‘honor killing’.In Bhiwani, November 2008 two sisters - Pinky and Komal - were killed by their cousin in Greater Noida as they had gone for an outing with their boyfriends.In September 2008, Poonam was bundled into a waiting jeep in night and thrown into the Rajasthan canal by her father and six other male members of her Jat family because she wouldn’t let go of Mukhram, a young Dalit boy. But the feisty 19-year-old survived drowning,This is a case study of northern region of our country focusing on Haryana. In this region people are physically strong and the castes AJGAR(Ahir, jat, gujjar, rajput) are the castes in which people do farming in the fields. They are politically strong, socially also. It is continuing from the time of the Mughals and the British and after independence. The process of Sanscratization is very fast for the backward castes and the dalits. We are able to see various social, political, and cultural ups and downs in this society. In these societies today’s development, scientific and technological, educational, communications and the Govt. policies have made various changes and made us familiar. New developments taking place have given rise to new stresses and pressures. If we try to understand what is the character of these societies then we come to know that in order to satisfy and pursue there own personal interests they can go to any extent possible and they can be unscrupulous in the name of there so called social discipline. So the fact remains that it is difficult and there is no place left for change and new thoughts to take place in these societies.The tales of love stories in the northern region is just the beginning and a glimpse of changes taking place. And in the present society we are living in, the society is really confused on the change because these changes are against our social beliefs and policies. Because of which a large number of a class in our society is the biggest critique of this change. But all this criticism and definitions are able to understand this change.There are many difference of opinion regarding affairs and marriages in our Indian society. In northern India in rural societies there are double standards for men because men without wives are there in these societies. In villages it is there that out of two brothers only one will get married. In some regions where some unemployed boys call themselves as they are from well reputed families and for them girls are being bought from Bengal for getting married. In these societies “Anta-santa” is the biggest problem and a malpractice which they themselves accept and where there is a provision of MOU (Memorandum of understanding) of marriage of boy against boy. It is known as “Anta-santa” in Northern India. In this region where regional and caste panchayats in themselves decide on the death penalty, issuing death sentence as a game going on, burning alive, suicide attempts and cases because it is a question of their false pride and honor.The Blast of love stories is in between special category of people on a special time. Maximum number of incidents are related with backward and dalit castes. In these incidents the first opinion is from the side of the girl’s family.Firstly, the debate is done on moral grounds and then secondly, it is the question of social status and family background. Thirdly, the details of respectable family, village, caste, Gotra come one by one. Panchayats sit in groups for these discussions and orders are passed. “Religious, cast base leaders” and “contractors of society” pass there own judgments. Because the culture of “upper class” was adopted by backward and dalit castes. And whenever these castes have measured themselves on social, economic, political level and be conscious of there rights they may have improved but then also because of the society they have to bear a lot of pressure on a mental level.

sacred space in blog

Saturday, November 27th, 2004

This is a blog about space, not outer space or myspace, but sacred space. The mere mention of this place rings holy, divine and reverential. Beyond cyberspace is that place of our own, a physical spot on the planet where our soul is at peace. To some it may be the beach, to others a mountain view, for a writer sacred space is essential, it is the very center of where thoughts begin. When I was younger and a single parent there was no such place. Every inch of our small house was tagged, even my bedroom. There were only so many corners four people could escape to and no place was off limits in our home. If I put paper and pen on the dining room table, someone was bound to settle in next to me, if I thought to stay up, pillows fluffed behind my head, I would find myself next morning slumped over with pen still in my hand. So my writing became portable, because we were portable, our lives a constant swirl of motion. My sacred space was in my car, on the sidelines of a soccer game, on a rain-drenched field under an umbrella, on my lap at lunch, at five in the morning sitting on a kitchen stool and in motel rooms during championships from here to Phoenix. The stories in my head began in long hand on yellow legal pad without the benefit of a holy spot, the ever sought after, close-the-door-place I could flee to when the words bubbled over. Today I have an office in what used to be the playroom. Surrounding me are snippets and quotations, kid photographs and a smiling Buddha. This is the place, the space I blog about today, the spot I encourage each one of you to create and seek. Your spirit is revived in your hallow place, your soul finds comfort, your mind rests and your creativity flows. Where is your sacred space? Look around, walk the terrain, touch, smell and listen. Move the furniture, pictures and lamps until it feels right. Mark your place on the planet. Deem it yours. Blog what you hear, what you see, what you feel.

His primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Metal Ox. This is an Earth year and that is positive for the Metal Ox. Though it is generally not a favorable year for the Ox, the Earth exerts the most beneficial influence on Metal of any element.

research proposal

Friday, November 26th, 2004

Research proposal is very important as it will decide whether your project will be chosen for the study or not. The first step in making the research proposal is the identification of the problem, because only when a research worker becomes conscious of the presence of a problem does he feel the need to find a solution for it. He will be more successful in his work; the clearer a problem is in his mind. And in order to recognize a problem it is necessary for the researcher to be objective and practical in his approach, and conscious of every element of his work and aspect of it. For this he needs a healthy outlook and profound generosity of spirit so that he should realize the short comings of his method. Such problems are a common feature of the researcher’s life. In the words of J.B.Best,” Researchers will discover acres of diamonds in their backyards, and the possessor of the inquisitive and imaginative mind may translate one of these problems into a worth while and practicable research project.” Sensitivity is essential if the problems are to be recognized and it is not found equally in all the researchers. Once the problem has been recognized and identified the next step is defining and delimiting that problem. It is essential that its definition should contain no word the meaning of which is not precise and clear. Hence, it is desirable that every word used to define the problem should be carefully defined and made definite. Delimiting the problem implies that its sphere should b determined because a scientific analysis of a problem is not possible if its sphere is not definite. And in defining its sphere it is essential to keep in mind the fact that the problem neither be too limited nor too widely distributed. For example, it is possible to conduct successful research on the absence of discipline among students forming a particular class or classes. In delimiting the problem its highest point or apex is determined. Once this apex is determined and has been fully grasped it becomes comparatively easier to locate the basic causes that terminate in the problem. At the base of every research there is a definite hypothesis and the research either establishes or disproves that hypothesis. Defining hypothesis, H.H.MacAshan has written “A hypothesis is a tentative assumption drawn from knowledge and theory which is used as a guide in the investigation of other facts and theory that are as yet unknown”. The hypothesis of action research concerns the solution of some particular problem and hence it is called action hypothesis. Research methodology is another very important aspect of the Research proposal. This section will determine the sampling techniques need to be used, data collection methods and the analysis and interpretation of collected data to find out the conclusion. The research methodology needs to be totally unbiased, scientific, objective in nature and also reliable. In the research proposal the above mentioned points should come to make your proposal atrong, PayelCoursework is an academic writer who provides useful information about PhD Dissertation and Research Proposal .

copywriting seo what to look for in writers

Monday, November 22nd, 2004

In recent years, copywriting for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes has become a major industry that companies are delving into. The Internet has become such a valuable and expansive medium for business, marketing, and advertising that Internet presence has become a vital part of the operations for many companies. As such, copywriting SEO has become a lucrative business in itself. To gain success as an SEO copywriting company, however, it is important to know how to spot and recruit writers who have the skills, qualities, and abilities that make a good SEO copywriter. Read on to learn about what makes a writer a good fit for copywriting SEO. Impeccable grammar and highly professional writing style and techniques The first and perhaps most basic requirement for a good SEO copywriter is someone who has professional-level writing abilities. It’s important for SEO copywriters to have impeccable technical skills when it comes to grammar, spelling, and syntax. Likewise, writing style is also essential to good copywriting. Some writers may be good at writing novels and short stories, but when it comes to copywriting SEO material they may not fit the bill. In most cases, SEO content is meant to be informative, conversational, and concise. This means that writers should be able to write articles that are useful and relevant to both the reader and the client without exceeding the imposed limits on article length. Creativity and adaptability to different reader profiles Aside from having good technical skills and style, SEO copywriters should also have a good level of creativity and adaptability. Copywriting SEO companies often deal with numerous clients and each client is likely to have different requirements, target markets, and goals for the content that they are outsourcing. This means that the copywriter will have to compose content to meet these varying needs. A writer who is adaptable will be able to employ various writing styles and techniques to meet the specific needs of the client and the demands of the target audience. Creativity, on the other hand, is needed to come up with content that is not merely a repetition of other information. Also, creativity is essential for using keywords and key phrases in a manner that won’t make the reader feel as though the article is just being written for keyword search engine optimization. Passion for writing Finally, perhaps the most important characteristic of a good copywriting SEO writer is a passion for writing. In many copywriting SEO companies, writers have a daily quota and they have to ensure that they are complying with the company’s standards. It can get quite exhausting having to write so many articles to reach that daily quota, which is why a passion for writing is a good quality for SEO copywriters to have. Aside from being able to cope with the quota, a healthy passion for writing usually also translates to high-quality content. Writers who are passionate about writing are able to transform the task of writing into an art that not only meets what is required of the writer, but surpasses expectations, making for a great writer. About the author: Niyomi Gold Tannfield has been studying copywriting SEO companies and services, offering expertise to those who are looking to start a copywriting SEO company.
