Running your own business can be a rewarding experience.

You can make your own decisions, avoid the daily commute and choose to work only with those people with whom you feel compatible.

That is not to say that it is all plain sailing. You may have to deal with unhappy clients or customers, there will always be one or two that don’t pay your invoices and you also bear the costs of both buying, maintaining and replacing equipment.

There are several types of insurance that can take some of the potential worry out of being your own boss, depending on the nature of your business and its location.

If you are providing services primarily from an office, are you working from home? Do you have customers or clients coming to see you?

If you are working from home and do have visiting clients, you may have to consider taking out some form of public liability insurance since you might be liable to a claim if they suffer an accident or injury while on your premises.

While you may do your utmost to provide the best service possible for your clients, problems can occasionally arise where a client is dissatisfied with the work. Professional Indemnity insurance is offers professionals with the protection they need against liability as a result of such claims.

Whatever the type of business it is likely that you will have to provide your own equipment to do the job. This can be anything from IT equipment to the tools of a trade. Setting up with the right gear can be costly and if anything is either damaged or stolen the consequences if you are self employed can be considerable if it means you are unable to continue earning a living.

It is particularly important to those whose business means they have to visit customers’ premises to carry out work, meaning they will have to have a van and carry their equipment and tools with them.

In some cases loss of or damage to essential equipment can be added to a professional indemnity policy but it may be that the limit on the value of what is covered means that it would be better to take out separate cover for expensive tools and equipment, as well as van cover.

Specialised professional insurance for anyone who is running their own business can take away a lot of the worry and uncertainty that comes with the territory.

The Dual Redundant Emergency Shut Down PLC System

The most important feature of an ESD system is that it must only operate when there is a failure in the plant. There are two main problems if the ESD equipment fails. The first problem is the high cost of lost production. The second problem is that if the ESD equipment keeps failing the operations staff by-pass the system in order to keep the plant running. The dual redundant PLC system reduces the chance of an ESD system shutting down the plant because of ESD equipment failure. However, it ensures the plant is shut-down when there is a failure in the plant.

Operation

1) The field inputs are applied to two identical PLC systems in parallel.

2) The software program for the PLC is applied to both microprocessors.

3) If the field inputs are correct then the plant operates.

4) If a field input fails then both PLC systems will detect this. In this case both the output control elements will shut-down the plant.

5) Because there are two identical PLC systems the chances of a fault on both at the same time is very small. Therefore, a fault on one PLC system will not cause a shut-down because the good system will still hold the output control elements in the correct position.

6) A faulty unit in the PLC system will indicate it has a fault. Therefore, maintenance can be carried out while the system is still running under the control of the good PLC system.

7) This type of system uses automatic line checking to ensure the input/output wiring and devices are connected correctly. These systems will be learnt during advanced training at work.

8) Dual redundant systems are used to control a complete ESD system. They provide a good level of safety at a reasonable cost (e.g. for platform control, oil/gas production units, etc.)

Triple Redundant PLC Systems

This system is the latest type of safety system. It ensures the plant only shuts down because of a plant failure but not because of an equipment failure. These systems are expensive. They are only used when the highest safety and reliability is required; e.g. large installations such as refineries, LNG plants etc.

An example of the triple redundant PLC is the AUGUST C 300 system. AUGUST control systems claim that their system is 99.999% guaranteed to shut down the plant ONLY if there is a plant failure.

The voting unit will keep the plant running if 3 or 2 of the parallel systems are working correctly. It will shut the plant down if only 1 or none of the systems give the correct outputs. The software programmer is fed into the three microprocessors. It uses a self checking system so microprocessors can detect faults in its own system. All the units have fault indicators so that they can be changed while the system continues to work using the good units.

All input/output wiring and devices are automatically checked to ensure that they are connected correctly.

These systems are very complicated and will be learn on the job, as it depends on what system the plant uses.

As time moves on we invest in a lot of things, we buy stuff we need and sometimes we splurge of things we don’t need. But keeping that entire aside there are a few quality things that a woman should have invested in by the time she turns 30.

Now, this is not something that is necessary or a list of “must haves”. It is just a list of things we think one can invest in and trust me when I say brand is not the top priority, everyone has their own lifestyles, needs and finances. So don’t stick to it, just basic ideas.

1. A Bag That Screams Style

Every woman out there deserves a designer handbag, yes it is going to be a bit pricy depending on the brand you choose but it is a one-time investment that will last you a solids number of years. The lifeline of your bag depends on how you care for it. If you take care of it then your good quality bag will last you for a long time. Neutral shades are the right choice as they match every outfit, event and time of the day.

2. Universal Piece of Jewellery

This is has to be a simple, sophisticated piece that will match all your fashion needs. A bracelet, diamond studs or even a subtle ring will complete your needs and match every outfit and occasion. If you can’t afford fine piece, there is imitation jewellery. This is a cheaper option with a huge variety of designs. Also semi-precious jewellery can be used to fulfill this need and it won’t cost you as much.

3. Shoes, Because Duh!

Invest a pair of classic pumps or heels or even flats that are comfortable, versatile and look great. You don’t have to spend thousands on brands like Jimmy Choo and Louboutin. Just find a piece that looks great on you, one you love preferably in neutral colors or even black or nude. If you want to splurge in your go-to piece do it with ease because you will be wearing these ones a lot.

4. A Timeless Timepiece

A watch literally can last a lifetime. So investing in a good quality, beautiful piece is a good choice. You can save up and buy your dream watch which will be by your side for as long as you want or live. A watch is something that also defines your style like any imitation jewellery you wear.

5. A Blazing Blazer

This is something not everyone needs. If you work in an environment where you have to wear formals or semi-formals, a good quality blazer is a must. A well-fitted piece will bring out your outfit to a new level and look classic. A job interview, meetings, social events, they work everywhere and with everything be it trousers or dresses, sometimes even jeans. A neutral solid color will match any other color combination and look great.

6. A Killer Black Dress

Like everyone who knows fashion tells you a black dress little or not is a must. It fits any occasion can be paired with blazers, printed jackets and can be worn from dates to outings to meetings. You can pair everything stated above with this and create the perfect look. Black as a color is the most universal and neutral there is.

7. A Gown That Flows

This is another optional thing. If you are a dressy person who like going to social events, galas and black-tie meets, a flowing, sexy looking gown is a must. Even when it comes to wedding, a flowy piece that fits you perfectly, suits your color combination needs and makes you look beautiful is a good investment. You can pair your semi-precious jewellery with it to add a little pop. Get something that you fall in love with, one you know will make you feel precious and then flaunt it.

In the past, if someone wanted to be seen as a good person, they would have had to behave in a certain way. This is down to the fact that their behaviour would have been what defined them.

As a result of this, it wouldn’t have been enough for them to say the right things; they wouldn’t have had to have done the right things. It would then have been important for them to treat other people well whilst they were at work, and to act in the same way towards their friends and family.

Strangers

In addition to this, how one treated the people who they came into contact with in the world would have also mattered. For example, there would be the people who they came into contact with whilst they were out shopping.

It could be said that it would have been harder for them to treat these people well, as they wouldn’t have always responded in a positive manner. When it came to the people who they were close to, it would have generally be a lot easier, and this is because there is likely to have been a mutual respect.

Doing More

Along with this, one may have reached out even further, and spent time engaging in some kind of volunteering. This could have been something that they kept to themselves, or other people may have found out.

As to whether these people found out or not could depend on if one told them, but it could be due to what they were doing. If one was to help a charity and this meant that they had to spend time in a public place, other people would simply find out.

Meaningless

If one was to talk about how good they are during this time and they didn’t actually do anything, the people around them are likely to have overlooked what they were saying. There would have been no evidence to back up what they were saying and so there would have been no reason to believe them.

In fact, if something like this took place, it might have caused them to look bad. The people around them might have starting to form a negative impression of them, and so what they said would have ended up having a negative effect on them.

To be expected

However, it could be said that it would have been normal for other people to behave in this way. After all, if one was to say something but they didn’t follow through with it, it is not going to have an effect on the world.

It would be the same as if someone was to buy a pack of seeds and spoke about how these seeds will feed their family. And, while this could be the case, they could simply put them in a draw and forget about them.

Useless

If this was to take place, it would be clear that the seeds are not going to have a positive effect on their family. It would be the same as one having a plan to achieve something and not doing anything to make it into a reality.

Therefore, what this shows is how important it is for one to back up with what they say with what they do. Alternatively, they could simply take action and not say anything about it to anyone.

Today’s World

But while this was often how things were in the past, it could be said that things have changed. This is primarily due to social media, and how one has far more control over how people will see them.

Through being able to share things on their wall, it is going to be up to them to decide how they will come across to others. Now, one could have the need to be seen as desirable or deep, for instance, and it is unlikely to be difficult for them to achieve this aim.

A Moral Person

If they have the desire to come cross as being a good person, it is not going to take a lot of effort. The only thing they will need to do is to share things on their wall and to ‘like’ the right things that other people have shared.

Through doing this, other people can come to see them as being a good person, and it is going to be irrelevant as to how they behave in the real world. What they actually do to make the world a better place can be overlooked.

The Reversal

And, if what they say online is seen as a reflection of how virtues they are, it is going to be as if this is the only thing that matters. It is then not that actions speak louder than words, but that words speak louder than actions.

In this case, one could come across as though they are purer than pure online, yet there offline behaviour could be the complete opposite. This is then similar to how people who are abusive can often come across as being charming and then behind the scenes, they can cause all kinds of damage.

An Act

If one was to take a deeper look within them and to see why they have the need to come across as a good person, they could find that it is a way for them to receive approval. It is then not that they care about being seen as good, they just want people to like them.

One could also carry a lot of guilt and feel as though they are a bad person, and through being seen as a good person, it can be a way for them to avid how they feel. But as how they feel is not just going to disappear, they will need other people to continually give them positive feedback.

Conclusion

There are naturally going to be people who will realise when another person is just trying to look good, and it won’t have much of an effect on them. At the same time, there are going to be plenty of people who won’t realise what is taking place.

Ultimately, if one truly wants to make a difference, it will be vital for them to actually do something. Not only this, they will need to make sure that what they do doesn’t just cause them to feel good, but that it actually has a positive effect on others.

Not long ago, there were a string of home burglaries near me, just down the street in fact. On one occasion, the police were called, they caught one of the burglars cuffed and stuffed him in the car, then started looking for the next two who were also reported in cahoots. A neighbor had called and the police responded quickly, but the home backed up to the golf course so of course, the suspects fled making it hard to catch them. Turns out the burglar they caught broke out of the police car and took off running too, thus, they had no suspects – so much for good police procedures.

Another sheriff’s car on the way to assist the already now, two cars and three police personal on the scene flipped rounding a corner on the way up the hill, again, not so much help upside-down, a K-9 unit to boot, the dog they needed to run down the suspects now trapped in the car – not good. Then the helicopter with infrared was out looking for hot spots in the trees near the golf course. They spotted him and eventually arrested him, and about 3-hours later luckily they caught the other suspect who had gotten away and ran from the police car.

The third suspect is still at large – but where did he go? Did he run into another home? Did he have a gun? Is he out breaking into another home somewhere else this very evening? At some point one has to ask why citizens shouldn’t have guns if the criminals do, or why citizens cannot protect themselves when the cops can’t seem to get the job done. No, I didn’t say it was an easy job, policing certainly isn’t, but if it isn’t why can’t I be allowed to protect myself and why do politicians suggest we should have our guns taken away and only the police or government be allowed to have them?

The criminals will not stop carrying their guns, nor will they stop doing crimes – nor will terrorists stop their endeavors – they will continue whether we have guns or not. For instance; the terrorist attacks in France with some of the harshest gun laws.

How can we trust our government to protect us, especially at a time when they are continually encroaching on our rights? It’s like they don’t trust us, and we already know we cannot trust them. We cannot trust them to protect us, not nationally, not locally (at least not in my neighborhood – very upscale by the way). Think on this.
