We cordially invite you and your colleagues to participate and submit papers to 2017 International Conference on e-Commerce, e-Administration, e-Society, e-Education, and e-Technology (e-CASE & e-Tech 2017) that will be held at International Community House, Kyoto, Japan, on the 4th–6th April 2017. . We welcome submissions from all over the world and we encourage you to join us in Kyoto, Japan to share your research and knowledge. To submit abstracts/papers for presentation or participate as an audience member, please visit the conference website for more details. All submissions will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted manuscripts will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISSN reference, on CD-ROM support.

The objectives of the conference are:

1. Provide a platform for the researchers to seek further opinions, comments and suggestions.
2. Contribute knowledge in the fields of e-Commerce, e-Administration, e-Society, e-Education, and e-Technology.
3. Provide wider opportunities for participants to interact and create networking.
4. Deliver your research findings to global audiences.
5. Participate in a truly international, interdisciplinary and intercultural event.

The conference venue Kyoto is Japan's capital for more than 1,000 years. Kyoto was the center not only for politics, but religion, philosophy, art, culture, and cuisine. The cherry blossoms (sakura) usually bloom in the last week of March and the first two weeks of April in Kyoto (roughly between 20 March and 14 April). In an average year, the blooms peak on 1 April in Kyoto. Once they bloom, they are notoriously fickle: sometimes almost all the trees will come into full bloom (mankai) at the same time and stay in full bloom for a week or even longer. We believe that you will enjoy your stay in Kyoto. If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact us.

Yoga in the Morning to Keep Your Goals Clear

The mornings are quite and one of the best time to engage in the practice of yoga. Before you get busy for the day consider taking some time to get your goals and objectives clear. Yoga allows you to stretch and start moving your muscles in way that helps your brain and your body function better. Taking the time to think and exercise is beneficial for the day's performance.

Many of us run around like a chicken with our head cut off and don't realize the importance of setting on a few goals that can be accomplished throughout the day. Instead of blindly entering each day without knowing where you will end up and engaging in the chaotic task after task in mind numbing effort consider spending some time reflecting.

-What do you want to accomplish?
-What are three things you can do today?
-What is really important to you?

Yoga is an excellent exercise that can teach you to focus and put your mind at ease. Some of the best ideas that come forward will do so from slowing down and letting your subconscious do some of the work. When given the time your brain has the capacity to help you solve all types of problems and understand things at a deeper level.

It is also beneficial to consider the activities of fitness in the morning to help stretch your muscles and get your body in shape. Don't wait until illness has caught up to you. Start stretching and working those muscles early so that you can reduce the potential of injury both now and in the future by prepping your body for the day.

Few exercises offer you the ability to get your body and brain in greater alignment for maximum performance. Use the mornings for your advantage.

Cutting Small Business "Red Tape" Enhance Economic Growth

Cutting "red tape" is one of the most important ways to increase small business and lead to economic growth. Taxes are important and can dampen business, but the amount restriction and confusing legal environments nearly kill it off. Reducing restrictions on new business requires making it more simple and connected to allow people without advanced degrees to figure out the process.

Some legislation is positive while some is useless and was never taken off of the books even though it has long outlived its necessity. Making sure that where entrepreneurial motivation bubbles forward there are opportunities to build a business and not be bogged down by legislation that isn't helpful to anyone.

It is important to remember that many entrepreneurs take considerable risk to start their businesses. They are unsure if they will make it, how they will pay their bills, and if success will ever come. Some will need to invest their own money, time, and resources to create something market worthy. It might not be worth it from a cost-benefit standpoint.

Coming up with a better idea is one thing, but creating a successful business is another. Many great ideas that could spur innovation and growth are lost because it is too difficult to capitalize on them. Getting rid of all the government stops and putting in place a single mechanism and location for approvals would help.

Review, streamline, and removing poor legislation is more important than tax deductions. Government can help small business and lower costs by getting rid of costly roadblocks to starting business. That which is practical and helpful is kept while that which is cumbersome is removed.

Small business is the backbone of America. It is entirely possible that one of the reasons why the U.S. is declining is because it has become administratively heavy and has stifled small business. Large companies have a loud voice and small business has muffled voice in government. To ensure small business can be created, innovate, and influence economic growth it is necessary to change government.

What Is It Like to Be a Professor?

Some grow up delve into books, read, explore their environment and want to spend their lives in intellectual pursuits. They look with wonder at all the great philosophers, scientists, and intellectuals of the world and believe they can be one of them. Beyond obtaining the degree many don't know what its actually like to be a professor and the joys and pitfalls of engaging in this occupation. For sure there are rewards and also risks as one seeks to create greater knowledge in society.

The first thing that future professors should understand is that you are doing this for the "meaningfulness" of it all. Money is not going to be your primary concern. That meaning is subjective based on how you view your role as a professor. Some want to discover new things while others desire to give back to the community. It is a personal motivation often guided by the social expectations of your college and upbringing.

You will spend a lot....a lot.....a lot of time grading papers and giving feedback. Papers and subject counselings is a primary role and is fundamental to the role. The better you get at grading papers, providing feedback, and helping students improve their skills the more your students grow. It can sometimes be tedious but it is one of the best methods of transferring knowledge.

Part of the job will include creation of content. How does one develop greater knowledge without reviewing and creating content that students use to learn. This could range from putting together a presentation, reviewing materials, writing lectures, or reviewing curriculum. The process of sharing and integrating knowledge into the course is inherent.

There will be some administrative duties that include keeping track of your class, grades, decision-making, keeping paperwork and passing paperwork.. If you don't keep up to date on your administrative duties you will soon find that they will pile up. In some cases these duties become extremely important to your job.

Some of your time will be spend in research, writing and reading. This is personal development and intellectual stimulation. While this seems like a professors main job, it is only part of the wider responsibilities of guiding minds to greater thinking. The goal is to contribute to a body of knowledge through discussion and publishing.

You will have greater responsibilities to society, America, and the world to enact change by using your knowledge, writing, and intellectual authority. There will be powers and voices that seek to silence your freedoms in an effort to keep things the same. Being a social advocate for change can range from developing new ideas that propose a better way of doing things to protesting abuses of power, corruption, unfairness and violations of the Constitution.

Being a professor has many rewards and some risks, but it is ultimately a lifestyle choice. You won't get rich, and can make more money in industry, but it takes on personal meaning. You will have to deal with everything from the overly demanding student to budget cuts and administrative changes. Yet...for some...it is a passion as they find meaning in offering back to the people and the world. Helping people come to greater awareness through knowledge and insight is a noble pursuit.

Organic Red Wine-Green Fin

For those who drink wine you will soon find that not all of the are the same. Sitting with a friend drinking a glass of wine and discussing business in California we sipped on Green Fin. The weather was nice and having a glass of wine seemed appropriate. As we chatted and sipped the topic halted for just a moment to acknowledge the taste.

It was a tasty well balanced wine. I didn't expect that for the price I paid for it. I grabbed it based on the label.

You will first notice the berries, cherries, vanilla and other fruit right away. You may even find a little chocolate in there. It was wet without a lot of aftertaste. The company describes it as "silky" finish;which I think is accurate. A little vanilla in there. The winery went out of their way to create a strong table wine for everyday use.

Green Fin Winery prides themselves on using organic grapes to produce their wine. If you are the the type of person who cares about where the ingredients come from this might be the environmentally conscious choice. No pesticides or chemicals that artificially damage the natural flavors. Retailing under $5 you will find it fits most budgets. I give it 7 out of 10 based on price and taste.
