If you only think about your current expenses and the present scenario of your business, then you are going to be stuck in the rut for a very long time. If you want you take your business to a wider clientele and really prosper with it, then you need to think about the big picture.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
1. Helping new and small
businesses
Notes on marketing and
social media for the small
business
2. It does not matter whether you are a new business or already
established – in times such as these, times of effective recession,
finding new customers or revitalising your relationship with old
ones it is going to help.
You may have products and services to sell. You may have a nice
set of prices to offer them. You may have a whole range of busi-
ness qualities which make you stand out. If you don’t manage to
put all of that in front of your customers you will not manage to do
as much business.
When you reach your customers you need to be all of the above
but you also need to be …
approachable, attractive
Before that you need to be easy to reach. Your customers need to
be able to find all that you can offer.
Part of the whole business process is your marketing effort.
First of all you need a plan …
Let’s make it a cunning plan!
Your plan, your strategy and its content needs to be in keeping with
what you do. Yes be attractive but be attractive in the right way. So,
the look of what you put out there needs to be good but also to be
right for you. A cornershop will not look to have full page adverts in
Vogue, for example. Nor would they need a full blown social media
campaign and a glittery website. Others, however, would find benefit
from just such.
The traditional media for putting out the message of local businesses
are gradually dying, or they are being ignored. Fewer people are
picking up a local newspaper, even the free ones, similarly with maga-
zines. More people are using the internet to source products and ser-
vices, including those from small businesses locally. There are reasons
to use business cards, leaflets, brochures and even posters. It is better
that the spelling is correct, the design fits the purpose, and generally
it looks good.
Yes, you can do all of this yourself. Sometimes, though, it is better
to use someone who knows. You may not see the mistakes. You
may not see the small things that make your promotional and
marketing products fail in the eyes of your potential customers. If
you present yourself badly, you are not going to do as much busi-
ness as you might.
3. So! Have your brochures, leaflets, business cards done properly …
similarly your website. Personally I always walk away from any business
where there are countless errors in their literature and their website. It tends
to indicate that the business itself is not as well run as it might be or that they
generally will get things wrong, that their products and services will not be
up to par.
The internet
For most businesses some sort of internet presence is a must.
The amount of time each person spends on the internet continues
to grow, and amongst all age groups. In 2010, the number of over
65 year olds with social media pages or accounts doubled. 40% of all
time on the net is spent sourcing products, services or researching
such and the businesses associated.
At the very least your business should be entered onto a number of
business index sites. These are basically internet versions of the yel-
low pages.
It may be useful for you to have your own website. If this is the case,
once again you can do it yourself, using website templates or those
provided by certain hosting sites. You may design and code the site
yourself. If you do any of this make sure you test the site, the code,
and have someone else check what you have done. Another alterna-
tive is to have a site made for you.

Another alternative is to have a site made for you.
It may be the case that certain approaches are too expensive. There are free or
cheap options available if you know where to look.
4. As before, if you decide to have a website make sure it is fit for purpose. It should look
the part. It should be free of obvious mistakes. It should definitely contain key pieces of
information:
- about us, giving a general background to the business and the people involved,
people are happier when they know they are dealing with a business with a human
face;
- contacts, knowing how to reach you, where you are, your phone number, email
address, shop/office/studio address, social media contacts;
- products, services, what you have to offer.
Other things can be included but the above are the basics.
E-mail marketing is another option.
Social media
Yes, the new big thing!
Everyone is talking about social media. Facebook this, twitter that, linkedin whatever
…
A suitable and well thought out approach can be of real benefit to most businesses.
As above, a strategy is best … back to the cunning plan!
Blogs and social networking are the primary and most used forms of social media for
business. Facebook, Google+, Linkedin, Wordpress, Tumblr, Myspace, are but a few.
Video and photo sharing sites , bookmarking sites and portfolio sites are the next
most used. These include, Youtube, Flickr, Digg, Del.ico.us, Behance, but there are
many more.
5. What you do, what you include needs to be both balanced and of proper service to your
needs. Implementing a social media strategy will take time out of your working day, but
with a planned approach it need not be too much of an imposition. The benefits can be
remarkable making you and your business reachable, attractive, having a greater market
presence. Another option is having an outside agency, a suitable marketing or social media
provider help you along the way.
Whatever you decide upon, be:
- accurate
- attractive
- up to date
- informative
- busy enough , make regular entries
- fun
- open and honest
- polite.
Try to give a call to arms in whatever you do. Try to get a response of those who visit
your site, your social media pages. With their contact details you have acquired a new
potential lead.
Every platform is different. Find out what it can do for you. Use the potential at hand to
get your message across.
Above all, make sure that you connect everything together. So, making a mention in
one area of your social media is automatically repeated in the others, similarly with
your website. If you update your site make sure it is mentioned in your social media
presence.
There are a lot of sources of social media information on the internet.
6. Content
Whether you are using print, a website, social media, e-mails, all of them or other means, you need to
pay attention to the content. If you are sending out crap you are likely to get crap in return.
Look good, say it well, say it right, make it easy to buy from you. These principles will give you the
best chance of success. Be easy to understand, don’t mislead your customers, put it all in the right set-
ting.
Use the right font – be easy to read
The right language – use the sort of words your audience woul
The right colour – the right palette
The right background – set the scene
The right decoration – don’t make it so busy people ignore the message or have the
wrong pictures for the product or service
… a short, sharp message above the fold – people have short attention spans, to the
point!
The content you provide is part of your brand, your identity. Dress it properly. The me-
chanic you want will probably be wearing overalls. The accountant may wear a suit. In
just the same way the content on your website and your social media platforms needs to
follow all of the rules:
- present the correct information
- make it brief
- just enough of the right decoration
- diagrams or pictures can be a help
- use the right words
- a call to arms
- make it easy to respond.
7. Video content
…if a picture says a thousand words, then video
speaks volumes …
The major marketing group of the American east-
ern seaboard, Onemarketmedia, have listed 51
ways video can be used for business. Put simply it
is an easy and personable way to get your message
across. Youtube, Vimeo, Flickr all have the capacity
to share your videos with others. Social media and
video go hand in hand.
Introduce yourself. Introduce your business. Tips and
hints can be a useful way of getting content across.
Giving something helpful to your audience makes
you approachable, friendly. Adverts are only a small
fraction of what is possible through video.
If you are going to do it, do it right!
Yes, you can buy a dv camera, or use one available to
you. Can you do all that is required, though? Video is
no different to any other medium. Spelling mistakes,
poor layout, bad graphics, all of these can do dam-
age to your business efforts.
Or get someone else to do it for you.
