			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most lucrative venues the Internet has provided is in the field of web designing. Today, more and more people and business establishments are in need of skilled people who can create and maintain their websites and this is where web designers rush in. </p>
<p>With the continuous roll out of broadband services in various parts of the globe, it is not surprising that there are so many businesses who have not thought of having a corporate web site before are now seriously contemplating of having one. After realizing how the Internet can help their business, more and more company owners are considering to put up their own web sites to boost their marketing and promoting strategy. </p>
<p>Aside from jumping into the bandwagon of modern technology, having a website will also give companies as online presence and representation once the site is complete. </p>
<p>BECOMING A WEB DESIGNER</p>
<p>Undeniably, there is a growing market for freelance web designing today. If you are a web designer and you are considering freelance work, then it is now time to narrow down your options clearly. The market for web designing continues to grow as long as there are companies who need web designers in creating a front for traditional businesses or services. </p>
<p>Aside from having business as potential clients, freelance web designers can also rely on the billions of existing web pages in the Internet because these sites will need to be designed, built and maintained later on. If you&#8217;re planning to do freelance web designing, then you should gain knowledge and experience you need to become one. </p>
<p>So far, we&#8217;ve uncovered some interesting facts about Freelancing. You may decide that the following information is even more interesting.</p>
<p>The first thing you need to consider is getting educated about the field. Today, there are many colleges and universities that offer multimedia courses and degrees. By enrolling in one of these educational institutions, you can learn different disciplines needed in order to become an expert in the field of freelance web designing. </p>
<p>Secondly, you need to reassesses the skills you need to be able to become a successful freelance web designer. Most freelance web designers agree that to be able to become a competent web designer, you should be able to complete a web site on your own. By doing this, you will have the knowledge in designing the layout of your client&#8217;s site while designing the elements that involve the use of Photoshop and Illustrator (Adobe) or Fireworks and Freehand (Macromedia). </p>
<p>Also, to be able to become a successful freelance web designer, you need to understand aspects such as design and image optimization in order to give good download, make the site easy to use, make it more search engine friendly and most importantly, to make it cross browser compliant. You will also need to have a good knowledge of HTML as well as an editor to be able to create a page. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re just new in the industry of freelance web designing, you might be using Microsoft Front Page but most freelancers say that newbies should veer away from using it because it has a lot of proprietary codes that are oftentimes non-cross browser compliant.<br />
Macromedia&#8217;s Dreamweaver is the advisable option in creating a site because it will save you time and energy when compared to hand coding. Aside from that, it is also quite important for you to understand the HTML behind the design. </p>
<p>Aside from Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop 5.5 with Imageready 2.0, Illustrator 9.0, and Flash 4 can also help you create better web sites. </p>
<p>As your knowledge about Freelancing continues to grow, you will begin to see how Freelancing fits into the overall scheme of things. Knowing how something relates to the rest of the world is important too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You should be able to find several indispensable facts about Freelancing in the following paragraphs. If there&#8217;s at least one fact you didn&#8217;t know before, imagine the difference it might make.</p>
<p>With today&#8217;s rising costs of living, your salary is often not enough to cover the monthly rent in the house, the electrical bill and the food on the table. If you want to stay afloat, you need to earn more than what you are earning in the usual avenues. This is especially true with people who have a family of their own and need to feed more than one mouth in a month.</p>
<p>Often, people augment their income by doing freelancing work on the side. Freelancing work refers to the jobs that you can do on the side, where in you don&#8217;t have to be affiliated with a specific company.</p>
<p>There are actually a lot of freelance jobs out there, which a person can do in their free time. Most of these jobs, however, are on the artistic or creative side as well as those in the sales. Freelance projects that you can easily get are freelance writing, photography, web design, and graphic design, jobs that you can do at home and then pass on the deadline date. There are also companies that hire freelance sales agents that would sell their products on the side in exchange for a commission. </p>
<p>Doing freelance work however is not as easy as it seems. In fact, it can be really hard especially if you have a day job that you have to deal with. Still, a lot of people are augmenting their income this way and have become successful in balancing their time. The secret is of course to just make sure that you can manage the time and deal with the pressure. </p>
<p>To do this, here are some tips that can help you survive a day with freelancing. </p>
<p>Make a schedule</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have accurate details regarding Freelancing, then you might make a bad choice on the subject. Don&#8217;t let that happen: keep reading.</p>
<p>Time need not be an enemy if you know how to balance it and make time for each of your major priorities. Of course, one primary thing that you should remember is that your main job will always be first priority as this puts food on the table. The freelance work is just something that you do on the side when you are already through with what your day job requires of you.</p>
<p>This means that you have to set time for doing your freelance work, preferably after your day job. Often people who have nine to five jobs will go to their second job after their first job but since freelance work does not have a specific time schedule, you have to set a time and make sure that you keep it.  </p>
<p>Divide the job </p>
<p>It can however be really tricky if your day job does not have a specific time schedule. This is true with people whose work has a flexible time schedule. If this is the schedule that you have then, you have to manage the work and not the time. For instance, instead of doing the work after 5 pm like everyone else, divide your freelance jobs into small chunks of work that you can do every time you have a free time. This way you can manage the work and manage to beat the deadline.</p>
<p>Not doing this will only stress you out as people will tend to do one enormous task in just one day. Although the adrenaline rush can see you through, it will be a major source of stress for you.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you think about Freelancing, what do you think of first? Which aspects of Freelancing are important, which are essential, and which ones can you take or leave? You be the judge.</p>
<p>Freelancing is one of the surefire approaches most professional use in order to earn extra income. Some of them even use this as a as stepping stone in order to accomplish a stable career. Today, one of the most lucrative areas where freelancers earn a great deal of income is the field of translation. </p>
<p>More and more freelance translators offer their services. Although the profession sounds good and the translation industry is steadily booming, it can be hard to find well-paying work if you weren&#8217;t able to earn a degree in translation, translation experience, excellent language skills, and training and experience in a technical field of translation. </p>
<p>If you are interested in freelance translation, the easiest way to do it is to get samples and references. You can do this by being a volunteer or intern in agencies that need translation services such as the American Red Cross, Translators Without Borders, refugee assistance programs, and public health clinics who are in need of volunteer translators and interpreters or by working for low-paying translation agencies that are willing to train beginners. </p>
<p>Aside from getting experience and references, you also need to be a writer. The profession of translation also needs excellent writing skills because the translation should be correct not only verbatim or &#8220;word for word&#8221; but should also be grammatically correct. And last but not the least, you will need subject-specific knowledge in your own native tongue in order to translate subject-specific documents requested by your potential client. </p>
<p>Aside from having these three considerations, here are some tips that can help you in order to be a successful freelance translator: </p>
<p>1. Make sure that you are realistic. Just like in any field, you need to consider if you plan to work fulltime or freelance. If you are considering working as a freelance translator, you need to be realistic in the possible outcome. Since you are new in the field, you can&#8217;t expect that you will have a sizeable list of clients on a regular basis. </p>
<p>2. Continue building up. If you are already in the industry, never stop marketing. Having a regular list of clients doesn&#8217;t guarantee that you can keep all of them for a long time. Make sure that you continue contacting prospective clients in order to keep the works flowing. </p>
<p>Hopefully the information presented so far has been applicable. You might also want to consider the following:</p>
<p>3. Never ignore the local market especially if you are able to present yourself better in person than on paper. In order to build reputation, you need to show a portfolio of your work personally. By doing this, you can ensure that you will have an idea what your potential clients want. </p>
<p>4. Try to join some associations. By doing this, you can add credential to your portfolio. Freelance translators can join associations such as the American Translators Association or its local chapters to help you establish professionalism as a translator. This can also open up a new door to meet other translators and learn from them.</p>
<p>5. Learn from experience by asking for advice. Try to talk to other translators so you will have an idea about the field you are about to enter. </p>
<p>6. Adjust your resume toward translation. The key in order to get clients is by marketing yourself as bilingual if you are. If you also have specialized professional skills, you can also include this in your resume or portfolio. </p>
<p>7. Try offering services that more experienced translators don&#8217;t. As mentioned, the translation industry is booming and more and more translators are offering their services. In order to meet the demands of the competitive market, try to offer services that others don&#8217;t offer such as work on nights, weekends, and rush jobs.</p>
<p>8. Make sure that you get certification. If you are a freelance translator, make sure that you get certification so it can  back up your credentials. </p>
<p>When word gets around about your command of Freelancing facts, others who need to know about Freelancing will start to actively seek you out. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you think about Freelancing, what do you think of first? Which aspects of Freelancing are important, which are essential, and which ones can you take or leave? You be the judge.</p>

More and more professionals and skilled people are getting into the bandwagon because the industry offers a lot more opportunity compared to the usual 8-hour job. Aside from giving you enough freedom from all the hectic office schedule, being a freelancer also enables you to manage your own time and choose your own path, so to speak. </p>
<p>Illustrating or graphic designing is one of the industries where freelancing is abundant.

<p>Simply defined as &#8220;self-employed, sub-contractors who market their design by the job to several buyers,&#8221; freelance illustrators or graphic designers also serve as the boss, the office manager, the secretary or secretarial pool, a member of the sales staff, the head and the staff of the marketing department, the maintenance staff and the mailman all rolled into one person. </p>
<p>If you are in the field of illustration or graphic designing and you would want to accept freelance jobs or projects, then you should start building, promoting and marketing yourself by now. According to most freelance illustrators and graphic designers who are into the field of freelancing, a freelance artist of graphic designer should be possess a dedicated passion for a demanding job and clients as well. </p>
<p>If you are a full time illustrator or graphic designer and you are planning to go freelance, here&#8217;s a set of considerations you might want to contemplate on before indulging into an adventurous yet demanding job. </p>
<p>1. Determine and set your goals. Just like in any job, becoming a freelance illustrator or graphic designer will require you to set and determine your goals before finally jumping over a new set up. Since becoming a freelance artist will eat much of your time especially if you&#8217;re just starting, you need to contemplate if you should drop your day time job and if you can handle meticulous and demanding clients at hand. </p>
<p>Part of determining and setting your goals is asking yourself what you are getting out of the career shift and what made you decide to do this. </p>
<p>Most of this information comes straight from the Freelancing pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you&#8217;ll know what they know.</p>
<p>2. Assess yourself. Going freelance would mean that you have to have enough experience, discipline, knowledge, and expertise in the field you are in. If you think you have, then you should also assess if you have the drive and ambition to turn your skill into a success. </p>
<p>Also, you have to ask yourself, if you have the willingness and the patience to start anew. It is also very important that you have the talent, drive, and motivation in order to generate more income from your potential clients. </p>
<p>3. Check your business acumen. Knowing different business routes and knowing how to run a business will definitely help you become a successful freelance illustrator or graphics designer. </p>
<p>4. Gauge your capability to decide. Decision-making is a very important aspect in going freelance. If you are really planning to go freelance, then you should have the heart and the mind to decide. Since you&#8217;ll be making a lot of decisions eventually, you should start learning to decide wisely as early as now. </p>
<p>5. Check your overall attitude towards shifting to a new working environment. Before finally jumping into freelancing, you should ask yourself how to handle stress, possible rejection, and competition. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This interesting article addresses some of the key issues regarding Freelancing. A careful reading of this material could make a big difference in how you think about Freelancing.</p>
<p>The word ?freelance? was first coined by Sir Walter Scott, a renowned Scottish historical novelist and poet, in 1819 when he wrote his novel Ivanhoe, to refer to a medieval mercenary warrior. The term has then shifted into more figurative meanings. In the 1860s, freelance became a figurative noun, and in 1903, it was officially recognized as a verb by etymologists like the Oxford English Dictionary. </p>
<p>Today, the word ?freelance? has changed into different forms: as a noun, freelance or freelancer; as a verb, a photographer who freelances; and as an adverb, he works freelance.</p>
<p>Working freelance has become a career and lifestyle choice. It has given more people a variety of benefits and these people feel that there is no better option than the ones they have due to the flexibility of work. </p>
<p>More people today choose to leave the security of their day jobs and engage in freelance work due mainly to the following factors:</p>
<p>The more authentic information about Freelancing you know, the more likely people are to consider you a Freelancing expert. Read on for even more Freelancing facts that you can share.</p>
<p>* Variety of jobs. More people are drawn to go freelance for this reason alone. Freelance work offers a greater variety of assignments compared to regular employment. And with the internet offering more opportunities, freelancing becomes a mine for those who seek good opportunities and better projects, not to mention higher paying jobs. A freelancer can also take on different jobs at one time. He/She can write feature articles while designing a website. </p>
<p>* Fast turnaround of projects. Most freelance jobs are time bound. These jobs are usually done fast and allows freelancers to move on to new projects as soon as they finish the job.</p>
<p>* More freedom, more flexibility. Going freelance can give a person the freedom to choose the place, date and manner in which to do work. Though some freelancing schemes require contracts, freelance still spells a no employer-no employee relationship. Freelance work offers more freedom for someone who does not want to be confined in an 8 to 5 or 9 to 6 work scheme. The freelancer is free to choose his working hours and be his/her own boss. Because of the freedom in work schedule, freelancing gives a person more time to pursue other interests or take on more jobs. Other freelancers also consider the fact that they can even take care of their family better as soon as they start working freelance. </p>
<p>* Improved income and savings. Freelance workers can usually command higher income rates for their projects because they are hired for their specific talents and skills. This is a big plus because they are paid high but do not have to work full time. Though income rates for freelancers vary, most of them still benefit from the setup. They charge either by the hour, by the day, or on per-project. Others use value-based pricing methods instead of imposing a flat rate. Payments are arranged based on the agreement, and could be done upfront, percentage upfront, or paid whenever the project is completed. For others, a staggered payment scheme may be agreed upon.</p>
<p>Today, freelancers can easily find work through the internet. The internet has been a good facilitator of freelancers and employers around the world. These jobs can range from writing short articles to language tutors to architectural designs. The demand to complete projects through freelancing is still very high, as shown by the thousands of projects posted in the Internet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following article presents the very latest information on Freelancing. If you have a particular interest in Freelancing, then this informative article is required reading.</p>
<p>One of the best things about being a writer is the fact that you can hold a permanent job and still write on the side. That is the good thing in having a creative profession. You can do sidelines and freelancing jobs while still being salaried regularly. In fact, many writers in magazines and newspapers accept writing and editing jobs on the side while others who can afford not to have a permanent job will settle in with freelance jobs. </p>
<p>Actually, there are some freelancing jobs that can pay a lot and can even exceed a person&#8217;s monthly pay. Permanent writing jobs however provide the security. You wouldn&#8217;t want to wake up one morning without money to pay for the rent, right?</p>
<p>Freelance writing jobs are a dime a dozen especially with the advent of Internet. Writers are frequently commissioned to do online content to keep websites updated and informative. Still, one needs to know where to look and how to look if you want to get regular assignments. Below are some tips in getting freelance writing jobs  </p>
<p>Go online.</p>
<p>There are a number of writing jobs that one can find in the internet and what is more, these freelance jobs can be accomplished at home. Some do not even require you to pass the articles in person. Because of the great convenience that the internet provides, telecommuting is already possible. </p>
<p>This means that you don&#8217;t have to physically go to work. You can just submit your works online. Payments for these kinds of jobs are often deposited through bank transfers.<br />
You can find freelance work listings in websites that feature freelance works. Some jobsites also have listings of these kinds of assignments. </p>
<p>Establish a network</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have accurate details regarding Freelancing, then you might make a bad choice on the subject. Don&#8217;t let that happen: keep reading.</p>
<p>Being a writer, you have to establish a network of people who will later on recommend you for jobs and writing assignments. PR professionals for instance look for writers who can do assignments for them. The same goes with owners of companies that advertise over the internet or those who maintain websites which you can write for. Editors of magazines and newspapers are also often in the lookout for writers in publications. </p>
<p>There are a lot of people who are looking for part-time or freelance writers and the bigger your network is, the more people you can associate with who can help you. </p>
<p>Ask for a referral or a recommendation</p>
<p>The first step in asking for a referral is to do a damn good job that people will want to refer you to another. Although writing is big business, the industry is actually pretty small. Chances are your boss in one project will also know someone who is doing a similar project. Ask for a recommendation to another person who is in need of a writer or better yet ask them if they know someone who might be looking for a freelance writer. This is one way to get assignments. </p>
<p>Write well </p>
<p>The key to having a great freelancing career is to take care of your reputation not only in terms of your writing but also in the way you deal with people. For instance, you can write so well but if you are always late in passing your assignments, no person would want to deal with you. Remember that writing involves deadlines and you have to keep up with it if you want to really stay in the industry.  </p>
<p>Take time to consider the points presented above. What you learn may help you overcome your hesitation to take action.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best course of action to take sometimes isn&#8217;t clear until you&#8217;ve listed and considered your alternatives. The following paragraphs should help clue you in to what the experts think is significant.</p>
<p>Doing extra work is the way to go in this day and age especially if you want to earn an extra amount of money. With the rising prices of food and other basic commodities, it is not surprising that the trend is becoming the rule now rather than an exception. And more and more people are actually looking for additional sources of income especially if you have many mouths to feed. </p>
<p>Most are now working for more hours than they should be, holding more than one job at a time. Some who have to render long hours of time in their regular work, use their day off or the weekends to do some extra work. Some work on the local cinema or mall for a few hours while others do some babysitting on the side after office hours.</p>
<p>One of the alternative for people who wish to make extra money is to do freelancing. Most say that freelancing is actually better than holding part time jobs. This is especially true with writers by profession who can actually make use of their talent and their expertise to earn extra pay. </p>
<p>Writers are very much in demand these days because of the rising demands for their services in websites. Writers are needed to do online content and to update websites in order to boost site visits and viewerships. The pay is oftentimes better and the hours are not so long. Some even do freelancing for full-time. </p>
<p>But before you decide to venture into the professional world of freelance writing, read on. Below are some of the advantages that freelance writing jobs have.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s really a good idea to probe a little deeper into the subject of Freelancing. What you learn may give you the confidence you need to venture into new areas.</p>
<p>Freelance writing do not have a prescribed schedule. You will not be asked to render a specific number of hours. This means that you own your time and you will determine the schedule that you will have for a specific time period. Often freelance writers will be given a specific time period in which they can finish the assignments. The shorter the time period given, the higher the pay. In fact, they can actually negotiate for the pay if the assignment is a rush one. </p>
<p>Because of the flexible hours, freelance writers can do several assignments in one day and accept more than one freelancing assignments at one time. This will mean higher income for them and of course no stress to do finish the job. This of course will depend on how you will manage your time. </p>
<p>Family matters </p>
<p>Freelancing is also a viable option for people who can have to take care of children or who need to do something for the family. This is especially true with women who need to be at home to take care of the children. Freelancing is a good option to earn money and still stay at home. After all, you can just write almost anywhere. </p>
<p>Training while earning</p>
<p>Compared to other part time jobs that you can do, doing freelance writing jobs will allow you to use what you are already doing. This will allow you to increase your knowledge and to widen your experience. Your part time work will also enable you to practice what you know and use your expertise. What is more, every freelance writing job that you do is a feather in your cap, which you can add up to your credentials.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today&#8217;s world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate. While I was gathering facts for this article, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed.</p>
<p>With the costs of living going on the upside and regular pay no longer enough to make both ends meet, it is no wonder that people look for other means of paying for the day to day expenses. One of the alternative that people turn to when they need extra cash is freelancing. </p>
<p>Unlike other sidelines, freelancing allows you to do the work that you have already been doing. This means that while you are working on the side, you are able to practice the things that you are equipped to do. </p>
<p>Often, people who freelance on the side are in careers that are creative in nature. Examples of these are writers, photographers, web designers, graphic designers and a whole lot more. These people use their creativity to think of new concepts and then produce them into something concrete. Another plus why people in the creative business are the ones who usually do freelancing is the time. </p>
<p>Freelancing do not have any prescribed hours. Unlike other sidelines like doing part time work in the local mall or doing several hours at the McDonald&#8217;s store, freelancing work ends when you finish the work. The hours that you work will actually be dictated by you, on how fast you can finish the job or how often you will be doing it. </p>
<p>Most people who do freelance accept work per project basis. A specific period of time will be given to the freelancer to finish one project. The shorter the time period, the better or higher will be the pay. It is then up to the freelancer to manage or budget his time. The freedom in time is also the reason why people who do freelancing can still hold their regular jobs if they want to. This is of course if there are no conflicts with the jobs and ethical considerations have been met. </p>
<p>Once you begin to move beyond basic background information, you begin to realize that there&#8217;s more to Freelancing than you may have first thought. </p>
<p>Although it is not really a bad thing to do freelance work while holding a regular job, it is still best to avoid this unless freelancing is already an established profession within your profession. For instance, writers in major publications and newspapers are allowed to write for other publications provided that the publication is not a direct competitor of the company they are working for. The same goes with graphic design. Others who already have contacts do a referral system wherein they do not actually do the job but find someone who can do the job and get a percentage for it.</p>
<p>There are many freelancing opportunities that are available in the country. The birth of the Internet has actually widened the scope and reach of mass media, allowing freelancing work to double and even triple. Writers, for instance, have become very much in demand because of the need for online content updating. Writers now are hired on a freelance basis to write articles on the site to boost readership. </p>
<p>Photographers are also given more range through sites that sell generic photos. These photographers sell their stuff over the internet for a minimal fee. Of course, websites also require freelance photographers to provide them with photos for the articles that they are featuring.<br />
The same goes with web designers who are hired to update websites and other contents on the internet. </p>
<p>The internet has also given more freedom for freelancers in terms of time. Because data can now be transferred over the internet, more and more freelancers send their projects through these avenues. They no longer have to personally submit their works. </p>
<p>When word gets around about your command of Freelancing facts, others who need to know about Freelancing will start to actively seek you out. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may not know it but there are actually a lot of freelance jobs that are available to the persons who know how to look and where to look. </p>
<p>Whether the increasing demand for freelancers is because of the rising costs of paying regular workers and providing for their benefits or the fact that the Internet has provided more work for freelance professionals such as writers, photographers, web artists, graphic designers and lay out artists is a moot point. After all, the important thing is Americans are being provided with other alternatives in which to earn a living. </p>
<p>With the rising costs of basic commodities, many are actually turning to freelance work as a side line or as a means for extra income. When before, people who do freelance work are those who cannot work regular jobs because of family or time constraints, now people who have regular jobs also do freelance work in the side in order to augment their income. This is especially true with people who have families of their own and those who have children that they have to send to private schools. </p>
<p>One of  the most in demand freelance professionals are photographers. Freelance photography is actually quite lucrative especially if you have already established a good reputation in the industry and in the community. The going rate per assignment can skyrocket and remember that you can demand to be paid per picture and not per assignment. </p>
<p>Below are just some of the ways in which you can do freelance photography. Read on and you might get an idea on how to earn extra from that extra film that you have. </p>
<p>Photo sites</p>
<p>If you find yourself confused by what you&#8217;ve read to this point, don&#8217;t despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish.</p>
<p>Photos.com and other sites that provide photo services to people accept freelance photographers who can submit their work online and get paid for each photo. Of course, the pay is not as good as being hired to do photographs for an event but you can actually earn from the number of photos that you submit. Often, they pay bulk photographs as subscribers of these photo galleries pay for future use. </p>
<p>Wedding Photographs. </p>
<p>Another very lucrative industry that photographers should get into is doing wedding photographs. You can actually do photographs not only for the wedding day itself and the receptions but also before the wedding. In fact, there are some couples who even hire a photographer to do their engagement party, their bachelor&#8217;s party and their bridal shower. Photographers can also do engagement portraits as well as wedding portraits. </p>
<p>Another area where you can earn money during weddings are taking shots of the guests and then selling them afterwards during the receptions. As most people do not have someone who can take photographs, you can actually earn a lot from this. If you can, offer packages at low prices. This way, you will be able to earn more. You can even suggest that they just use photos as their souvenirs. </p>
<p>Event coverage</p>
<p>Freelance photographers can also earn so much in covering events where the pay is given per picture that is used. This is often the case with magazines and newspapers which hire correspondent photographers to cover the events for them. Online webzines and other websites are also other areas that you should look into. Companies that maintain the websites also pay a lot for pictures to be updated.   </p>
