Generally all of this Plan is to be implemented by either Karl Loren, Maia Mulvena, Nick Reid or Tom Martin. There can only be one IC for any target, however there are instances where one is IC and the other is expected to assist.

Conversion of Currently Free Web Information Into A Paying Resource Program 09/19/2004 But, we want to move more in the direction of having the public see the value of information as separate from the "bottles" and be willing to pay something for the information. When we have achieved this status we can then have "information" being delivered for free from Division Six, and other information delivered at some cost from Division Four.
Electronic Information Modernization, Migration, Integration, Maintenance and Standardization Plan 01/12/2005 I am establishing a "plan" to "modernize, migrate, integrate, maintain and standardize the electronic information system for Vibrant Life. I have written that plan and it starts with this page. That plan includes the words "Modernization, Migration, Integration, Maintenance and Standardization" each of which is defined below. Each of the definitions, below, is linked to a separate page with a repeat of the short definition on THIS page, and then a more detailed definition below the short definition. Below the more detailed definition on those pages are a series of sources of web pages where that one word (i.e., "Migration") was used in some context. These web page sources are NOT part of my definitions for these words, but the full definitions draw from some of these sources. Sources not used to provide quotes for the full definition are, nonetheless included to show what web sources, and uses of the word, were NOT used within the full definition. Fire In The Belly! 02/06/2005 "Fire in the belly" is an interesting term, often used by various people to illustrate things quite different. I want to draw from others, but put my own definition to this term, "Fire in the Belly!"
Mostly what I find, searching the web, are uses of this term to promote some "career counseling" or "psychological mumbo jumbo."
I prefer to use this term to mean an intense enthusiasm for some cause greater than yourself.
Founder Karl Loren's Retirement Plan 02/02/2005 At this writing I, Karl Loren, am 73 years old and want to plan for my own succession, and for my work schedule between now and a future time when I am no longer here.

Consignment Sales Programs 09/19/2004 Consignment sales are common where an item is valuable and the likely sales entity (some dealer) is not interested in "buying" the item. He gets it "on consignment" instead and the true owner then is able to set the terms of sale which will be followed by his "agent" -- the dealer or whatever he may be called. One law that covers this is HERE.

Facility Maintenance Program 09/19/2004 We use Loren and Bonnie's residence for much of our Company activities, We also have a warehouse facility. I have developed a program structure for issuing Projects and even Orders to assign various duties to Staff in relation to the maintenance of the residence and warehouse facilities. These duties could be as short as a verbal request to change a light bulb, or slightly more formal as an eMail "order" to ask for a slightly larger task to be done. Many of these will not require written orders, but those that do can be handled within this structure of the "Facility Maintenance Program" of Vibrant Life. Founder Karl Loren's Retirement Plan 02/02/2005 At this writing I, Karl Loren, am 73 years old and want to plan for my own succession, and for my work schedule between now and a future time when I am no longer here.
Program and Project Assignment List -- Page Title Order 09/19/2004 Generally all of this Plan is to be implemented by either Karl Loren, Maia Mulvena, Nick Reid or Tom Martin. There can only be one IC for any target, however there are instances where one is IC and the other is expected to assist. Program For Warehouse and Office Move 09/19/2004 Bonnie and Loren have turned over the position of "Executive Director" of the Company to their daughter, Maia Mulvena. Their general intention is to continue to work in the Company for as long as they want to, and to draw a share of profits until the death of both, at which time Maia is expected to inherit whatever interests Loren or Bonnie may have in the Company. Project Move Prepare 09/19/2004 Project Move Prepare Project New Space Prepare 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that the physical moves of various persons and business spaces is inevitable so the planning must be started in time to make these moves smooth and non-disruptive, however before THOSE final moves are made we may well need to expand our staff and the current space in the house is about one more person -- leaving us without room for a second new staff member. This needs to be solved. Project: The Annual Christmas Special Sale -- 2003 09/19/2004 For the year 2003 I have selected Calm Cream as the item to offer at a discounted price and the mechanism will be the purchase of four bottles of LG, SLG or one bottle of LGB gives one free jars of Calm Cream.

Electronic Book and Course Program 09/19/2004 Electronic Books, or as they are often called, "eBooks," are increasingly popular on the web. These are generally entire books which can be downloaded, for a fee or not, often in PDF format, and consisting of any number of pages from a few to many. Vibrant Life has available a large number of web pages that can be converted into eBooks. Front Page Feature -- Table Of Contents By Category -- Project 09/19/2004 Ongoing Maintenance Program 09/19/2004 While the Plan for the Vibrant Life Electronic Information System is in progress various problems or bugs may well develop with the existing information system, or with the computers or the computer software used within Vibrant Life. This Program is included here to handle these miscellaneous problems as they come up. This is part of the Organization for implementing the Plan so that the supporting organization keeps running. Shipping Weight And Cost Project 09/19/2004 For most shipping methods the cost depends on the number of packages and the weight of each plus the weight of all packages going to a single destination. (This latter may not be pertinent in all cases.) Statistics Collection and Presentation Program 09/19/2004 For this reason we strive to define one or more “products” for each staff member – a definition that relates to “things” which are brought into existence by the person and which are somehow traceable to a benefit, directly or indirectly, to our customer. Whatever these products may be, we then count them and compare the count for one period with the count for another similar period. This is our definition of a “statistic.”

Database Program For Vibrant Life 09/19/2004 The Database Program, like all others, refers to the "Modernization, Migration, Integration, Maintenance and Standardization of the database used within the Electronic Information System for Vibrant Life. Database Structure Design Project Within The Database Program 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that once the exact brand or form of "database" has been selected, then that database has to be designed to fit the needs for the Vibrant Life Electronic Information System. Display Structure -- Master Main -- Database Project 09/19/2004 This is a coordinated Project for both Nick and Tom. I believe there is a command within MySQL something like the "display structure" in dBase that allows the presentation of the names of the fields, the datatype, the length of the fields and probably the relations with other tables. This presentation, then, by way of PHP converted into HTML, should be shown on a page on the Lucid Minds web. Generally all the existing tables used within the Entry Program can be created this way -- making structural changes as needed.

Sources not used to provide quotes for the full definition are, nonetheless included to show what web sources, and uses of the word, were NOT used within the full definition. Modernization of the Web Position Search Words 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that part of the usefulness of the Web Position missions that are run weekly is that the "proper" words and phrases are used to search for. We have an excellent source for the "proper" words that has not been used. This project implements the continuing use of that source. Plans: The Programs and Projects In Page Title Order -- Summary 01/19/2005 The Plan for implementing the new information system within Vibrant Life is described starting here. There are other Plans for Vibrant Life, not related to the Information System. These other Plans are also separately described in this Web Site. Program and Project Assignment List -- Page Title Order 09/19/2004 Generally all of this Plan is to be implemented by either Karl Loren, Maia Mulvena, Nick Reid or Tom Martin. There can only be one IC for any target, however there are instances where one is IC and the other is expected to assist. Project for Selection of the Type of Database Utilized in the VL Electronic Information System 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that much work will be put in on the use of a database and the writing of programs to use it. Therefore choosing the "RIGHT" database is very important. Since we want this database to operate on the server, and be partially accessible to the public it is very important to select the right database that will work this way. Finally, we hope and expect to convert some or all of our programs into proprietary products that can be sold to others, so the database must be capable of being used that way.
Report & Statistics Design Project 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that the major tool of management is the use of "statistics" and the entire Electronic Information System must be designed so as to make it easy and even automatic to collect raw data into Statistics and Reports so that Management can do the job of Managing.
Utilization of Web Position Results Project 09/19/2004 To increase the number of visitors to individual pages on our web sites through use of the Web Position Page Critique and Reporter program, and to measure the actual success of that activity from the increase in the actual number of visitors reported for that page in Urchin. As increases are made in the number of visitors to individual web pages we should expect to then also see an increase in the total number of visitors to any one web site, and to all web sites. This should, in turn, generate increased sales. Web Position and other Scheduled Program "Overlap" Project 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that computer "off-time" is good to use for activities that can be scheduled to run automatically, but such schedule must then be designed so as to not cause problems that will cause a crash or stoppage when there is no one present to fix it.
Tom Martin Assignments
Address Search and Match Project 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that the data entry system should facilitate different types of data in different formats and we should be able to predict those formats now and design our system to handle them. Computer Program Writing Project 09/19/2004 The "Entry" computer program ("Project" for writing this program) refers to the change from the long-existing "order entry" program, generally referenced to as the "Enter" computer program, written many years ago utilizing a database called the dBase III program language, and compiled with Clipper. This "Entry Program" is then a description of the NEW computer language and the new program within that language that will utilize the database described in the "Database Program." (Note that the word "program" is used in two quite different senses within this paragraph. One usage refers to a computer program and the other usage refers to a "program" within the Planning procedure.) Conversion of Currently Free Web Information Into A Paying Resource Program 09/19/2004 But, we want to move more in the direction of having the public see the value of information as separate from the "bottles" and be willing to pay something for the information. When we have achieved this status we can then have "information" being delivered for free from Division Six, and other information delivered at some cost from Division Four.

eBook Project 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is to convert some of our presently free and valuable information into a form for which the public pays money.

Sources not used to provide quotes for the full definition are, nonetheless included to show what web sources, and uses of the word, were NOT used within the full definition. Fast Service Project 09/19/2004 To learn about alternatives to our present internet service and our web hosting service to see whether or not we can make a change as an improvment and/or significant savings in money or time. Phone System Program 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that Karl has already selected a Panasonic to install in the house where Vibrant Life has its offices. This system replaces an old system that is no longer supported and has various problems that haven't been fixed. This new system provides new and useful features, including caller ID. The system can be moved to another location as needed. Plans: The Programs and Projects In Page Title Order -- Summary 01/19/2005 The Plan for implementing the new information system within Vibrant Life is described starting here. There are other Plans for Vibrant Life, not related to the Information System. These other Plans are also separately described in this Web Site. Program and Project Assignment List -- Page Title Order 09/19/2004 Generally all of this Plan is to be implemented by either Karl Loren, Maia Mulvena, Nick Reid or Tom Martin. There can only be one IC for any target, however there are instances where one is IC and the other is expected to assist. Program For Web Design 09/19/2004 I, Karl Loren, started designing web pages many years ago, and learned new techniques as I learned about them. However, I had been far more interested in quantity of pages than quality of page designs. As the web presence has now matured into some 100,000 pages receiving as many as 10,000 visitors per day, and as many of these pages were last reviewed some years ago, as to the mechanical design, it seems now very appropriate to have a Program for an entirely new approach to web page design. That is this program. Project For Installing Cookies 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that we have not used cookies in the past, but they can help provide us with valuable information about our web visitors. We will want to have a "cookie policy" and install an ethical and useful form of cookie on our web sites. Project For Selecting the Vibrant Life Programming Language For Utilization of the Database 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that once the exact brand or form of "database" has been selected, then the exact brand or form of the computer program writing must be selected, and that means that the criteria for making that selection should be done first so as to maximize our efforts on the right program from the start. Project for the Shopping Cart and eCommerce Part of the Plan 09/19/2004 Our current Shopping Cart is not integrated with our own database. Customers can and do enter their name, address and even credit card number in a database on the server, under the control of the eCommerce program. This Electronic Information System aims at having much more integration and modernization of our Shopping Cart, as well as our eCommerce service. We need to either get a separate set of these programs from another supplier, learn how to integrate what we have now with our new server-based database, or develop our own Shopping Cart and eCommerce service. This is the Plan that decides on the best path and then implements that.
The Google Advertising Program 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that search engines still account for a very large percentage of all web visits. Our Vibrant Life web sites have a large percentage of "word of mouth referrals" and we have, heretofore, considered that a huge plus for us. Vibrant Life Entry Program 09/19/2004 The "Entry" Program refers to the change from the long-existing "order entry" program, generally referenced to as the "Enter" computer program, written many years ago utilizing a database called the dBase III program language, and compiled with Clipper. This "Entry Program" is then a description of the NEW computer language and the new program within that language that will utilize the database described in the "Database Program." (Note that the word "program" is used in two quite different senses within this paragraph. One usage refers to a computer program and the other usage refers to a "program" within the Planning procedure.)
Vibrant Life Shopping Cart Compatibility With Froogle Project 09/19/2004 The Worthwhile Purpose is that Google has started a new service, called "Froogle" which searches and displays results its searches of shopping carts on the web. We are included in their display, but in very poor form. Our shopping cart probably needs redesigning to be useful with this new Google service, and we will need to supply "form feeds" in a certain format to Google so that all of our products can be listed in this service.
