  31. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the last 15 years I have worked with hundreds of managers, including team leaders and supervisors, in organizations of all shapes and sizes. Many of those managers were, by their own admission, reluctant to manage. Of course on a day by day basis they did manage people &#8211; they answered questions, allocated work, went to management meetings, and held some team briefings. But what they most often didn&#8217;t do is apply a focused and structured approach to managing their staff&#8217;s performance</p>
  32. <p>In theory, managers know they should be managing performance, that they should be using the review or appraisal system, and that they should be having dynamic discussions with their staff about their performance. But clearly there&#8217;s an obvious difference between knowing you should do something and actually doing it. And when managers don&#8217;t manage, the business suffers and so do their staff. So what&#8217;s the answer? These are five steps I&#8217;ve seen applied, by my clients, with very positive effect:</p>
  33. <p>Step One &#8211; Help managers to understand why performance management is important to the business</p>
  34. <p>Do managers need help in understanding the value of managing performance? Do they need to understand why effective performance management is a critical commercial issue and how effective performance management impacts business success? Only through getting this clarity can a manager gain the confidence that there will be some real business benefit derived from their efforts. Otherwise, why bother?</p>
  35. <p>Step Two &#8211; Help managers understand why performance management is important to their staff</p>
  36. <p>Do managers know that research shows that what people seem to want, and want quite badly, is to be well managed? That they want a strong, mutually supportive relationship with their manager based on interest and clarity? Much of what &#8216;well managed&#8217; means is effective performance management. The manager&#8217;s role in the satisfaction and the engagement of their staff can&#8217;t be overstated but often needs to be explained.</p>
  37. <p>Step Three &#8211; Help managers to embrace their right to manage performance</p>
  38. <p>Frequently the managers I work with seem to feel the need to gain permission to undertake probably the most important part of their role &#8211; managing performance. They clearly know there are expectations of them as managers but they don&#8217;t feel they have somehow earned the right to manage. Do managers need to understand the rights they have to manage? Do they know what those rights look like in practice?</p>
  39. <p>Step Four &#8211; Give managers the tools and techniques they need to manage people&#8217;s performance</p>
  40. <p>Do managers have access to a range of tools and techniques which can make the seemingly complex much, much simpler? How can we expect managers to know, for example, that there is a simple way to give feedback about even the most &#8216;difficult&#8217; performance issue so that the issue can be understood and accepted by the staff member? Managers just do not have the time to work these processes out for themselves so they either waste a lot of time (and staff good will) on &#8216;trial and error&#8217; or they just give up.</p>
  41. <p>Step Five &#8211; Ensure that managing performance is a top priority for your managers</p>
  42. <p>Do managers have &#8216;managing performance&#8217; listed in their job description, their job objectives or anywhere else? I have heard hundreds of managers tell me that there is nothing written down or agreed that describes their responsibilities as a performance manager. So why would a manager dedicate time and effort to an activity for which they are not held accountable, for which there is no reward, which appears to be just about the lowest priority of the business? How can organisations expect their managers to undertake the complex work of managing their staff&#8217;s performance if:</p>
  43. <p>a) the manager does not know what being an effective performance manager looks like ipractice in their organisation<br />
  44. b) the manager is not held accountable for the effective performance management of their staff &#8211; it is not seen as an integral part of their job but something to be done when all of the &#8216;real work&#8217; has been completed<br />
  45. c) they are not acknowledged or rewarded for effective performance management?</p>
  46. <p>In summary</p>
  47. <p>It&#8217;s all about developing the &#8216;will&#8217; and the &#8216;skill&#8217;. Helping managers to understand the importance of effective performance management, helping them develop the skills and then holding them accountable for applying those skills in practice</p>

  66. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do you do if you want to learn driving a car? You will try to find an expert teacher, isn&#8217;t it? You do not want to avail the services of a novice individual to help you out, but a professional person can provide you the vital tips and most importantly guide you efficiently. Similarly, when it comes to investing in the stock market for the first time, you require a knowledgeable advice to attain your financial goals and get profitable returns.</p>
  67. <p>If you are a beginner, then it is quite obvious that you may be having no information about the process of buying the right shares in the market. In such a situation, getting the right tips from an experienced financial advisor or a registered advisory company will truly prove to be a great blessing in disguise. However, there are some of the important things that have to be kept in mind while choosing the top stock market advisory company, which are as follows:</p>
  68. <p>How much assistance do you actually require?</p>
  69. <p>Before you make up your mind to hire an advisor, it is imperative that you must first decide about the kind of service you require from them. You may need their help at the beginning or during the time of any issues. This is because an advisor has to formulate a map according to your requirements. Hence, it is suggested to ascertain your needs first and then take further action.</p>
  70. <p>Choose a top ranked advisory company</p>
  71. <p>It is a very important point that has to be taken into the consideration. Availing services of the well known advisory company or a financial advisor is an absolute necessity. Make it a point to carry out a proper background or research work about the company. Check out their credentials, reputation, experience, etc before hiring them.</p>
  72. <p>Asking for a sample financial plan initially makes sense</p>
  73. <p>When hiring a financial advisor, then do not forget to ask for sample plan first. It is imperative to note that there is no such thing called the perfect plan. A sample plan will help you to determine whether an advisory company is actually making sense according your requirements or not.</p>
  74. <p>Conclusion</p>
  75. <p>The financial planners or advisory companies can really turn out to be the greatest asset for you if you choose the best one. They are just like the professional sailors who can help you out to sail through stock investment related problems quite efficiently.</p>
  76. <p>Deepak is a financial advisor who likes to provide quality tips to the people facing any issues with regard to investing in the stock market. He likes to keep himself updated about the stock market by reading articles, news and blogs, etc.</p>

  97. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greed and Fear.</p>
  98. <p>Two Emotions that play a bigger factor in the success or failure of humans than any other emotion we experience. Both fear and greed refer to an intrinsic emotional state. Tens of Millions of dollars have been made and lost based on these 2 emotions alone. In trading, in business and in relationships. So why do so many educational courses, stock trading books and online courses avoid this topic all together?</p>
  99. <p>Perhaps they are not avoiding the topic of emotions, Perhaps by teaching certain methods and skill sets to their readers they are in fact dealing with the emotional side of trading head on!</p>
  100. <p>It is well known that emotions create a certain amount of pleasure or displeasure. It is also known that emotions are networked with mood, frame of mind, desires and passions. The list goes on&#8230; So how do we as individuals develop a skill set to navigate these emotions in business in trading and in life?</p>
  101. <p>Charles Darwin argued that emotions actually served a purpose for humans and rightfully so, If our emotions have been evolving for over 2 million years. Should we not be using these amazing skills to our advantage rather than placing blame on them for poor decision making? It is my belief the poor decision making has nothing to do with emotions and everything to do with laziness and lack of planning.</p>
  102. <p>A Lesson From One of the Greats!</p>
  103. <p>I would be doing my readers a disservice if we did not mention the strategy of Warren Buffett. One of the most successful investors of our time. Warren Buffet stuck to his strategy and profited greatly. Warren Buffett showed us just how important and beneficial it is to stick to a plan. When deciding whether or not to invest in a company himself, Buffett and his partners follow a few simple guidelines, one of which involves trying to determine the company&#8217;s longevity.</p>
  104. <p>As the market becomes overwhelmed with greed, the same can happen with fear. When stocks suffer large losses for a sustained period of time, the overall market can become more fearful of sustaining even further losses. But being too fearful can be a grave mistake. It is precisely at this time successful investors and traders alike make their move. This is where the real money is made.</p>
  105. <p>Just as greed dominated the recent Cryptocurrency boom or fear dominates the headlines on potential trade war outcomes, investors quickly move around from one &#8220;secure&#8221; investment to another. It becomes a constant game of cat and mouse.</p>
  106. <p>This flooding in of money to the stock market shows a complete disregard for many technical indicators that continue to scream a correction is inescapable. Retail Investors seem overjoyed with the flooding in of headlines that read ALL TIME HIGH. Should retail investors be overrun by fear of a major correction?. Granted, losing a large portion of your retirement portfolio&#8217;s worth is a tough pill to swallow, but even harder to digest is the possibility of missing out on the massive gains the market is currently offering investors of all experience levels.</p>
  107. <p>Having a clear understanding of my own personal goals, a understanding of my success and creating a list of my OWN wants and needs rather than taking dreams of others and trying to reach them has been a colossal factor in putting out the greed flame in my own trading and daily decision-making.</p>
  108. <p>I have also added a link of &#8220;Must Read&#8221; Books that have been advantageous in my journey of reigning in my emotions on decision-making. I will update this as I see fit..</p>
  109. <p>One method I have found to be helpful is to be careful on how I measure success, wealth, goals and most importantly happiness. It is far to easy these days to allow outside influences affect our happiness and success. Social media blasts us day in and day out with the success of others.</p>

  128. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although, we hear, a lot of opinions, about, interest rates, and their trends, and impacts, very few people seem to understand, the significance, and importance/ relevance, of these rates, in several areas of our lives! After, many decades of involvement, in political campaigns, leadership, leadership training/ planning, real estate, financial sales and consulting, etc, I strongly believed, one benefits, by understanding, more about these, and how they affect, many things, in our lives! Whether, related to personal, organizational, and/ or, public finance/ spending, home ownership and related costs, credit &#8211; related issues, business matters, stock and bond pricing, etc, interest rates, truly, significantly, matter! With, that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 5 of these areas, and how the cost &#8211; of &#8211; money, makes a significant difference.</p>
  129. <p>1. Bond prices and interest rates: The price of a bond, generally, is inversely &#8211; related to interest rates! When these rates go down, prices, rise, and when they go up, the inverse occurs! Bonds have, what is known, as, a par &#8211; value, which is the price, paid, at the end of the term. Markets usually set these at 100, which represents $1,000 per bond, at maturity. However, during the period, the pricing can rise or fall, which impacts, liquidity &#8211; related issues!</p>
  130. <p>2. Mortgage rates: For the last few years, we have been witnessing and experiencing, record &#8211; low, mortgage interest rates, which have helped the overall, real estate/ housing market, especially, in terms of, pricing increases! In most areas of this country, we are seeing, home prices, at their highest levels, ever, by a significant, dramatic amount! When this rate, is low, a home buyer is able to buy, more &#8211; house &#8211; for &#8211; his &#8211; bucks, because, his monthly payments, are so low! Consider, however, what might be the potential ramifications, and impacts, when these rates, will, inevitably, rise?</p>
  131. <p>3. Consumer credit: Low costs of borrowing, help the automobile industry, in terms of consumer financing, etc! Although, not as much as other vehicles, rates on credit card debt, are lower, and there are often, shorter &#8211; term, promotions, offering deals! However, since, most of these are variable, and based, on some index, etc, what happens, when there is an increase, in this?</p>
  132. <p>4. Business borrowing: Another area affected, is business cost of borrowing! Presently, they have had access, to relatively, cheap &#8211; money, which helps in reducing the costs of borrowing, overall operations, purchasing inventory, etc. But, what happens, when this, ticks &#8211; up?</p>
  133. <p>5. Impacts on stock market prices: For some time, because bonds have paid so little, in terms of dividends, etc, many have considered, the stock market, the only game, in &#8211; town! In addition, many corporations, have seemed, better &#8211; off, than they probably are, and we have witnessed, a higher, ratio of prices to profits, than in the past! How long will this last? How high can it go?</p>
  134. <p>Many factors impact these issues, especially: actual and/ or, perceived inflation; consumer confidence; politics/ government actions/ the Federal Reserve, etc. The more you know, and understand, hopefully, the better &#8211; prepared, you will be!</p>

  151. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Color can be a powerful tool for website design. It can draw attention, convey emotion, inspire an atmosphere of desire, or directing conversation all these and more are accomplished through the clever and well-planned application of color. Similar to layouts and style of your words the color visitors will see on your website will determine the way they feel about it and whether or whether they&#8217;ll return.</p>
  152. <p>What makes color important for Website Design</p>
  153. <p>Colors can increase the visibility of your brand and can also entice visitors to your website to engage. The impression they form subconsciously about your company could be based on your website&#8217;s color scheme. So when a web design firm is first deciding to design your site, they first look at two aspects &#8211; the feelings your brand wants to create, and the cultural and philosophical contexts that it would like to be in line with. This is the initial step to choosing the right colors for the design of your website.</p>
  154. <p>Color Psychology &#8211; colors trigger emotions<br />
  155. Psychology of color is the term used to describe the impact that color can influence a person&#8217;s feelings behaviours, feelings, and moods. Although the rules are not fixed in stone, we are drawn to certain colors because they affect our feelings. The context here is crucial. Red could mean fear and risk to certain people, but enthusiasm and passion to other people. When using colors in web design, it should blend seamlessly with aspects of the website including copy, typography, and images.</p>
  156. <p>Below are some colors and the emotions they bring. While they aren&#8217;t fixed in stone, these are generalizations and can have an impact on the people who are watching. This will help you determine the color of your choice in accordance with how you would like your viewers to feel and the actions you would like them to do.</p>
  157. <p>• Red Power, Love passion, danger exhilaration</p>
  158. <p>• Orange: fun, warmth, comfort, freedom, playfulness</p>
  159. <p>• White Peace, Clarity pure, purity, and cleanliness</p>
  160. <p>• Blue: calm, confidence peace, trust and logic, as well as reliability</p>
  161. <p>• Purple: luxury, sophistication, mystery, loyalty, creativity</p>
  162. <p>• Pink: gentleness, sincerity, nurturing, warmth</p>
  163. <p>• Green: health, nature, prosperity, abundance</p>
  164. <p>• Brown nature protection, security, support</p>
  165. <p>• Yellow: happiness, creativity, optimism, friendliness</p>
  166. <p>• The Black: class, control power, sophistication and depression</p>
  167. <p>Cultural Context<br />
  168. While various colors could have different meanings for individuals, colors can are also associated with cultural significance. In many Western countries, it is believed that black symbolizes mourning and death, while the same color is used in a variety of Eastern nations.</p>
  169. <p>The color Red is thought to be associated with focus and pressure in Western culture, while many Eastern cultures believe it is associated with luck. It is important to consider the context when making a selection of colors. Most of the time, you&#8217;ll prefer to select the colors of your company based on the audience you want to reach. Based on the location where your market is located the colors displayed on your site could convey significant messages in different ways.</p>
  170. <p>However, it&#8217;s not always the case particularly when it comes to massive and well-known brands that have images already embedded in our consciousness. The red color of Coca-Cola or KFC, for example, will typically have no negative associations anymore, considering the extent to which well-known and loved they are.</p>
  171. <p>The Basics of Color Theory</p>
  172. <p>Theory of Color is an established set of rules that can be helpful in understanding and creating complementary colors and combinations. These basic principles can assist you in creating a color colour scheme that is appropriate to your company&#8217;s specific requirements.</p>
  173. <p>Primary Colors: They are three in total &#8211; blue, red and yellow.</p>
  174. <p>Secondary Colors: These colors are created using primary color combinations like the green (yellow and blue) and orange (yellow and red) along with purple (blue plus red).</p>
  175. <p>Tertiary Colors: These are colors made by mixing primary with secondary color.</p>
  176. <p>Shades, Tints Tones: The colors listed above are referred to by some as &#8220;pure shades&#8221;. But, these colors can be used to create other colors. Tints are created by adding white to pure colors, which makes them less intense and lighter. Shades are created by adding a lack and making them heavier and more powerful. It is possible to use white and black in different levels to create tones using pure hues.</p>
  177. <p>Contrast: Contrast is the perception of the difference between two hues when put next to each other. The greater the contrast, the more the two colours stand out from one another. This is a crucial idea since different levels of contrast can make an entirely different look to your site. A text that is colored and placed with a background that is low in contrast could cause issues with reading. Contrast may also make certain elements stand out (or even deflect attention from particular elements when used effectively) in your website and can make them stand out visually.</p>
  178. <p>Color Models</p>
  179. <p>When designing graphic designs, color is defined using color models. This is due to the fact that it is possible to find millions of different colors and it&#8217;s impossible to list every single one. The standards were developed to allow us to easily define colors by using numbers.</p>
  180. <p>RGB Model: The model that is used when working with designs on the screen. RGB refers to Red as well as Green and Blue. The three colors are assigned a value of zero to 255, and the different combinations give us different shades. The colors are typically displayed as color codes, six-digit hexadecimal code numbers. It&#8217;s an &#8220;additive&#8221; color model.</p>
  181. <p>CMYK Model: This model is utilized to print for printing purposes. It is a combination of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black Each color is described using its proportion of these colors. It is a &#8220;subtractive&#8221; colour model.</p>
  182. <p>the LAB Model: The word LAB means lightness, A channel as well as B channel. It&#8217;s a more complicated model. It includes the lightness factor, which is a range of zero to 100, an A component that is located on the red-green axis, and a B component that is located on the blue and yellow axis. This means that the color description is more akin to human perception when compared to RGB and CMYK models.</p>
  183. <p>Making Color Palettes</p>
  184. <p>The first color you select for your website is the primary color of your company&#8217;s branding (Red is the color of Coca Cola, for example). This is where the psychology of color is particularly useful. The color you choose is in accordance with the feelings and the personality you want to communicate. Following that, you build your color palette with the colors that complement the base color. This is the time when the color wheel is used.</p>
  185. <p>Color Wheel: A color wheel can be described as an instrument that is used to illustrate the connection between different colors. It&#8217;s basically an abstract drawing that arranges different hues of color within a circle.</p>
  186. <p>With the aid of a color wheel, you have are five primary types of color palettes you can make with the help of color wheel</p>
  187. <p>Analogous Palette: Analogous colors are put on top of each other in the form of a color wheel. They are in low contrast against each other and work well together, giving an elegant effect.</p>
  188. <p>Monochromatic Palette: The palettes are made up of one hue that is distinctive, and is complemented by elements of various colors and hues. The palette is appealing to look at. To prevent an uninteresting look it&#8217;s beneficial to add different colors, or even complimentary elements to your website.</p>
  189. <p>The HTML0 Triad Palette &#8211; This palette is composed of three colors, which are evenly spaced from each other on the wheel of color. This method should be employed with care, and not only to select colours that go well with each other and blend well but also to utilize the colors in a way that doesn&#8217;t appear too cluttered and loud.</p>
  190. <p>Complementary Palette: The Complementary palette is made up of colors that are on opposite sides of the spectrum of colors. This is a great way to create striking art designs that attract attention to certain parts of your site.</p>
  191. <p>Split-complementary Palette: The palette is similar to complement palettes, but it has another color placed beside one of the colors that complement each other on the wheel of color. If used correctly this design can be effective in creating a natural appearance without too much sound.</p>
  192. <p>Effective Tools to Inspire</p>
  193. <p>Inspiration for new colors can be found everywhere from competitor websites to nature, and the beautiful outdoors. It&#8217;s also beneficial to keep abreast of the new trends in branding. Here are some helpful tools to help you get going with fresh color concepts right away.</p>
  194. <p>Pinterest The website Pinterest is a wealth of color palette concepts developed by designers from all over the globe. They can be an incredible source of ideas.</p>
  195. <p>Pantone: The color Pantone has been the leading company in the area of color. It is an index of color that determines the various shades of the various hues. The most recent trends in color in fashion and design generally stem from pantone.</p>
  196. <p>color-scheme Creation Websites: There are many dedicated color websites for designers that can assist you in creating colors and play around with the palettes in any way you would like. This is a fantastic opportunity to try out and create new palettes for yourself. Websites such as Adobe Color Wheel, Color Collective along with Design Seeds can be great for quick ideas.</p>
  197. <p>Conclusion</p>
  198. <p>While color alone may not be the sole factor in website design, it does play an important role. If used properly and in a way that is appropriate, the color(s) that you use be a defining factor for your company&#8217;s image. Utilizing the tricks and tips that were mentioned earlier, you will not have any issues using colors in your web design to get the most impact.</p>

  216. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer is wrapping up, but the party season is not over yet! After all, who says you can only celebrate during the holidays? If you&#8217;re looking to host a dinner party that will be remembered long after the last dish is cleared, read on for our top 8 tips:</p>
  217. <p>Set the mood with music and lighting: The right playlist can set the tone for your party. Make sure to have a few fast-paced songs to get your guests dancing and some slower tunes for when things start to wind down. And don&#8217;t forget the candles! Nothing says &#8216;romantic dinner party&#8217; quite like a few flickering flames.</p>
  218. <p>Serve up something unexpected: Sure, you could just stick to the classics like roast chicken or steak. But why not get a little creative and get your dinner party catered? At Toronto Pho, we offer a wide variety of party platters that will impress your guests. From our famous pho noodle soup platters to our unique take on Pad Thai platter, fried or fresh rolls, there is always something we can whip up that will tantalize your taste buds.</p>
  219. <p>Get everyone involved: A dinner party is a perfect opportunity to get your friends and family involved in the fun! Ask each guest to bring their favourite bottle of wine or their go-to dessert recipe. Not only will this make your job as a host a lot easier, but it&#8217;ll also make for a more enjoyable evening for everyone.</p>
  220. <p>Keep the conversation flowing: One of the keys to a successful dinner party is keeping the conversation flowing. To do this, make sure to have some icebreaker questions on hand to help get things started. And if there are any awkward silences, simply fill them with stories about your recent travels or that new show you&#8217;re binge-watching.</p>
  221. <p>Plan ahead: The last thing you want is to be scrambling around at the last minute, trying to get everything ready. To avoid this, make sure to plan and get organized. This way, you&#8217;ll be able to relax and enjoy the party along with your guests.</p>
  222. <p>Make it personal: A dinner party is perfect for showing off your unique style and personality. So don&#8217;t be afraid to let your creativity shine through! Whether it&#8217;s the food you serve, the music you play, or the decorations you choose, make sure everything reflects who you are as a host.</p>
  223. <p>Keep it simple: One of the biggest mistakes people make when hosting a dinner party is trying to do too much. Instead of going overboard, focus on keeping things simple. This way, you&#8217;ll be less likely to get stressed out, and your guests will have a more enjoyable evening.</p>
  224. <p>Have fun!: Last but not least, don&#8217;t forget to have fun! After all, that&#8217;s what a dinner party is all about. So kick back, relax, and enjoy the evening with your friends and family.</p>

  242. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The failure of global supply lines in America is at least as old as the country. Its history goes back to the Boston Tea Party. An event where the supply of Tea and other products was unreliable, over-priced, and over-taxed.</p>
  243. <p>Back then, enterprising Americans rose to overthrow this economic dictatorship and eventually declared a free and independent country.</p>
  244. <p>Throughout the next century, America remained mainly true to the mantra: &#8220;buy American.&#8221; Thereby creating the most outstanding economy on earth. The American economy was noteworthy for its remarkable balance between supply and demand. American raw materials and American components supplied the mighty automakers in Detroit. Power came from the coal mines up and down the Appalachians—steel and glass from the plants in Pittsburgh.</p>
  245. <p>Back then, supply and demand were kept equal by the free market operation. Decisions at the plant level meant those managers could budget, plan, and store all they needed to continue production. If the plant manager saw that coal or steel was running short, they would stockpile additional inventory to meet that future shortage.</p>
  246. <p>The balance came from each actor along the supply chain, acting in their self-interest but producing a well-ordered symphony of economic harmony. It was a process that was a wonder to behold. It was what Adam Smith, nearly 200 years before, called the &#8220;Invisible Hand.&#8221;</p>
  247. <p>Unfortunately, by the 20th Century, American Politicians, along with unscrupulous business interests, who thought they had a &#8220;better way.&#8221; Let&#8217;s go global. The oil industry was one of the first sectors to move in this direction. Having developed the rich Saudi fields in the 1950s, Aramco steadily increased America&#8217;s reliance on this off-shore supplier.</p>
  248. <p>However, 20 years later, the Saudis turned the tables. From then on, the Saudis, not the Americans, would be in control. American oil and gas, at the margin, would be in the hands of the House of Saud.</p>
  249. <p>Later, the Saudis would organize all of the mid-east oil countries. They would expand their reach to the entire globe. The Americans now found themselves out in the cold. Literally in the cold, as during the OPEC Oil Embargo, we were without energy for the first time in our history. Again, we had become reliant on others for one of our most basic economic supplies.</p>
  250. <p>It was just like the Boston Tea Party all over again. Reliance on foreign supply had provided little else but a shortage. Americans had failed to learn the lessons of our history. By relying on others, we ended up with not enough.</p>
  251. <p>Again in the 1990s, the most recent iteration of &#8220;under-cut America&#8221; began. It seems the entire technology sector operated under a universal business model. Market to the Americans, but build everything in China. Apple was the first to introduce this method of production. Apple would build their iPhones, iPods, Mac computers, and other products in China. At the same time, it was designing and marketing those products in the US.</p>
  252. <p>I remember one particularly ludicrous moment when Tim Cooke, CEO of Apple, tried to make the case that those Chinese factories weren&#8217;t manufacturing facilities. They were just assembly plants—a distinction without a difference. However, Mr. Cooke would slice it. Those supply lines stretched across the Pacific. And Apple did not give those jobs to Americans.</p>
  253. <p>Today I am hard-pressed to think of a single US Technology company that doesn&#8217;t use overseas factories to build its product. And the result is that today we have supply lines that are no longer secure. We have, once again, become reliant upon far away suppliers with different business ethics and different measures of quality. Price, reliable supply, and quality of construction are all out of the American&#8217;s hands.</p>
  254. <p>The Boston Tea Party became the defining moment in this nation&#8217;s history two hundred forty-nine years ago. The moment that an unruly group called the Sons of Liberty stood up and began a series of events that would lead to American Independence. A time when Americans grew tired of working for a distant elite whose only goal seemed to be exploiting those Yankee Colonists.</p>
  255. <p>I sense that we&#8217;re close to that flash point again.</p>
  256. <p>Close to the time when the new group of &#8220;Sons and Daughters of Liberty&#8221; stand again and declare our Independence from today&#8217;s intertwined Global Elite.</p>

  285. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Charcot’s foot is one of the many problems which might occur in those with diabetes mellitus. The higher blood sugar levels that stem from all forms of diabetes have an affect on numerous body systems including the eyesight, renal system as well as nerves. In long standing cases, particularly if there has been an unsatisfactory control of the blood sugar levels, you can find problems with the nerves supplying the feet. This will make the feet in danger of issues as if something fails, you don&#8217;t know it has gone wrong as you can not really feel it due to the harm to the nerves. This might be something as simple as standing on a rusty nail and that getting contaminated and you are not aware that you&#8217;ve stood on the nail. Should it be a blister or ingrown toenail which gets infected and you do not know that it is present on the foot unless you have a look. This is why foot care can be so necessary for those with diabetes and why it will be provided a great deal of emphasis. A Charcot foot is the destruction occurring to the bones and joints if you have an injury and you do not know that the injury has happened.</p>
  286. <p>A way of looking at it could be to consider this way: pretend that you sprain your ankle horribly and you also are not aware that you have simply because you do not experience the pain from it. You then carry on and walk around on it. Picture all of the additional harm which you do by walking about on it. The earliest you may possibly discover that there may be something wrong happens when you take a seat and look at the feet and you observe that one is a great deal more swollen compared to the other foot. This is exactly what occurs in individuals with diabetes who develop a Charcot’s foot. There may be some destruction, such as a sprained ankle or maybe a progressive failure of the arch of the foot and as no pain is sensed they carry on and walk around on it. It should be apparent simply how much more injury that gets done to the original injury prior to the problem is finally observed because of the swelling. At times there is not much swelling, but the Charcot’s foot is picked up from the difference in temperature between the two feet as a result of inflammation related process in the damaged foot that generates more warmth.</p>
  287. <p>The development of a Charcot foot really needs to be dealt with as a bit of an urgent situation since the further it advances the much more serious it&#8217;s going to be and the more challenging it can be to handle. The individual definitely needs to quit all weightbearing without delay or at least obtain a walking support so that the damage is protected. For the not too major instances and those conditions which were serious and have improved a really supportive orthotic in the footwear is required to support the feet and the injuries. Sometimes surgical procedures are required to straighten the subluxed and dislocated bones. By far the most critical situations can end up with the foot and/or leg required to be amputated as the trauma has been doing an excessive amount of impairment.</p>

  308. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many waste removal companies in any large town or city. You can simply look one up and call them when you need to get rid of waste, but for good or great service it&#8217;s important to do some research first and to choose the best company for you.</p>
  309. <p>Here are some home improvement tips to help you choose the right waste removal company:</p>
  310. <p>Look at the company&#8217;s reputation. Look for companies with good reputations. This will help you feel confident that the company will take care of the waste removal process.</p>
  311. <p>Ask about the price. Make sure the price is reasonable. You don&#8217;t want to overpay for the service.</p>
  312. <p>Ask about the service. Make sure the company offers a good waste removal service. This will ensure that the process is done properly and that the waste is removed properly.</p>
  313. <p>Ask about the schedule. Make sure the company has a schedule that fits your needs. You don&#8217;t want to have to wait until the last minute to have the waste removed.</p>
  314. <p>Ask about the availability.</p>
  315. <p>Make sure the company is responsible for the waste they collect and will only tip it at properly licensed waste disposal facilities.</p>
  316. <p>There are a number of different types of local domestic and commercial waste removal companies that offer services these days. Some of the most common are described below:</p>
  317. <p>Local Waste Disposal</p>
  318. <p>Local waste disposal is the process of removing waste from an area. Waste disposal can be done by the local government, a private company, or a group of people. The three main methods of waste disposal are landfills, incinerators, and recycling.</p>
  319. <p>Local waste disposal can be done in several ways. The local government might use landfills to dispose of solid waste. A private company might use incinerators to dispose of solid waste. A group of people might compost the solid waste and then use the compost to fertilize the land.</p>
  320. <p>House Clearance Services</p>
  321. <p>House clearance services are offered by companies that can help you declutter and tidy up your home in a snap. This can be a great way to make your living space feel more organized and stress-free.</p>
  322. <p>Clean up your living space and declutter it, making it easier to live in and more organized and most people report that you will also feel happier.</p>
  323. <p>Garden Clearance Services</p>
  324. <p>Garden Clearance Services can help you clear a backlog of growth and discarded rubbish from any garden quickly. Most will always do their best to reuse, upcycle and down-cycle and recycle all the waste they collect.</p>
  325. <p>In fact, most times now they will save money this way on the alternative of very high waste disposal costs for landfill and incineration.</p>
  326. <p>If you have too much garden furniture, plants, or flowers, or if your garden is too small, you may need to hire a garden clearance service to help you declutter and organize your garden. This service can help you find items that you can donate to charity, sell online, or give to friends and family.</p>
  327. <p>Pet Waste Removal</p>
  328. <p>If you have a pet and find yourself struggling to cope with the amount of pet waste your pet produces, you may want to consider hiring a pet waste removal service. These companies are specially trained to take care of scooping up pet waste and disposing of it safely.</p>
  329. <p>If you have a pet, you know that one of the things you have to take care of is getting rid of their waste.</p>
  330. <p>Unfortunately, pet waste can be really messy and can stain furniture, floors, and other surfaces. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to have a pet waste removal service that can take care of it for you.</p>
  331. <p>They&#8217;ll come to your house and remove all the waste, leaving your house clean and tidy.</p>
  332. <p>Man &#038; Van Rubbish Clearance</p>
  333. <p>Man and Van Rubbish Clearance is the perfect service for those who have a lot of rubbish to clear from a home or business location. A team of experts can help you get rid of all the rubbish in an area or property quickly and easily. They&#8217;ll take care of the entire process from start to finish, so you can focus on what&#8217;s important.</p>
  334. <p>We cannot stress too highly that it is important to hire a company that has the necessary experience and is reliable.</p>
  335. <p>Any waste management company should be licensed, bonded, and insured. It is also important to find out what type of waste they handle. If they are illegally handling waste, they may have to face financial penalties.</p>
  336. <p>And you might also become implicated in the eyes of the police if your waste is found to have been illegally dumped.</p>
  337. <p>Why Use a Local Waste Removal Company?</p>
  338. <p>Using Waste Removal Companies can help businesses eliminate waste from their property and reduce their environmental footprint. Many professional waste management companies are dedicated to environmental protection. These companies collect, sort, and send waste to recycling facilities.</p>
  339. <p>They use advanced equipment and technologies and strive to reduce the environmental impact of their services. Professional waste management companies can also help businesses reduce their costs by removing waste as cheaply as possible.</p>
  340. <p>Fortunately, you may be in luck because waste removal companies are evolving to meet the increasing demand and getting much better at recycling according to the efficiency guide which is known as the waste hierarchy. The waste hierarchy has been devised to help people take the most sustainable option whenever waste is disposed of.</p>
  341. <p>Clean Harbors is an example of a waste removal company that has expanded to more than 400 locations worldwide. It started with a trash truck and has grown into a multibillion-dollar corporation. They are also the largest organic compost facility operator in the United States.</p>
