For well over a century Wholesale Enes Kanter Jersey , photographs have been our key to preserving life’s richest memories. From school portraits to family candid’s, from snapshots of holiday parties to treasured moments in faraway places, photographs help us remember the people and places we hold most dear.


With advances in digital technology, we can now take all the pictures we want without the expense and bother of buying film and processing. Instead of printing Wholesale Russell Westbrook Jersey , treasured images can be archived and viewed on our personal computers. Why then are so many of us finding our fondest memories and sometimes large chunks of our family history suddenly gone forever?


The answer is simple. In cutting corners, many of us don’t realize that computers occasionally crash and when they do, they frequently take our data with them. There are plenty of options for backing up computers to prevent this brand of disaster. But how many of us forget or simply don’t take the necessary precautions to protect our precious photo archives? For those of us who grew up in the 1990’s or earlier, we could always turn to that old box of pictures and negatives in the garage where we stored our family history. Here in the digital age Cheap Patrick Patterson Jersey , we have to learn to live without it.


“The best and most cost-effective way to preserve your family memories is to print the photos you know you’ll want to keep,“ says Jack Allen, Photo restoration expert at Dream City Photo Lab in North Hollywood. “But print them as real photos, not inkjets or dye prints which are of questionable longevity. I like the security of knowing that if my computer malfunctions or goes up in smoke Cheap Mitch McGary Jersey , I have my photo albums safe in a separate location. When a computer file occasionally becomes corrupted or unprintable, I simply pull the print and rescan it, and all is not lost.“


What about storing your digital photos on CD’s? Jack urges against it. “Some folks try to store their digital images on CD’s and then find out years later they can’t get the disks to re-open which can be really aggravating. CD’s are for temporary filing; by no means are they meant for long-term storage.“


And Jack says you can still find drugstores--and occasional photo labs like his, of course--that still use machine photo-printing technology in which photo-sensitive paper gets exposed to light. “It’s the same basic process from the day the camera was invented...and most of those early photos are still around. I always say Cheap Serge Ibaka Jersey , ’If you want it to last, stick with real photographs’. They cost the same (and often quite a bit less) than what you’re going to pay doing it yourself at some kiosk.“


And quality-wise, according to Jack, there’s no comparison to a real photograph. “Fuji tried to sell me on the idea of replacing my equipment with their latest dye print jobbers. First I laughed. Then I asked why. Their argument was that dye prints would be more profitable for me. But I don’t get it. I charge $79 for 100 8x10’s on matte or glossy paper. How is a dye printer going to compete with that price? No wonder so many professional photo labs have gone the way of the dodo bird.“


One of the best ways to get business is through networking. That's what the majority of people I speak to tell me. So what is networking Cheap Taj Gibson Jersey , what makes it so invaluable to its supporters and how can you maximise your networking time.


My definition of networking is


?Creating mutually beneficial relationships with like minded people with whom you can offer and receive value, knowledge and support over time?


I remember when I first established One Step Further, I went along to a network evening in central London at which various entrepreneurs and senior city executives were to speak about their businesses and what they had learnt on their paths to success.


They say that the number one fear is public speaking; death is number two and in the top five is walking into a room full of strangers. Well that evening that was firmly my number one fear. I arrived early and walked into the area where I was offered a glass of champagne and an attendee list. I scanned the list and suddenly felt that awful feeling of ?what on earth am I doing here?? Senior Manager of company X, MD of Company Y Cheap Victor Oladipo Jersey , Director of ABC, I was in awe of a list of names! However, I was determined to brave it out.


As people started to arrive I smiled nervously at a few people praying that someone would take pity on me and speak to me. Fortunately they did and we had an interesting 10 minute conversation about their business. I managed to repeat that scenario 2 or 3 times that evening before being released from my fear and ushered into a room to listen to the speakers, all of which were highly entertaining and gave me inspiration for what might be achieved if you follow your passion.


That was April 2003 and all through that first year Cheap Domantas Sabonis Jersey , I continued to attend similar events. I became the one introducing myself to the nervous newcomer hoping for someone to talk to.


So what changed?


I decided that if I focused on other people's business, other people's interests and engaged them in conversation it made for a much more enjoyable experience. Sooner or later most people do say, ?So what do you do?? which comfortably let's you talk about what you offer without it appearing a 'sales pitch?


I have also found that if you are up front about why you are at these types of event and actually say what you want people respond. I spent my first 5 or 6 networking events gaining confidence speaking to different people and learning about their businesses and getting more comfortable talking about what I offer and how it might benefit them. I have also learnt that just attending an event doesn't get you the bu.
