Indeed many tutors now prefer to teach their students through Skype and other online services. Some predict that by the year 2017 most LLB tutors will be partaking in online law tuition over traditional localised private tutoring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are a number of reasons for this interesting phenomenon. First online law tuition has the benefit of flexibility. Tutors and students often have busy schedules and it is much easier to work around those schedules when there is no need to be in a fixed location. There is also much time and expense saved without having to travel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secondly, as any private LLB tutor knows, there are only a certain number of customers in any fixed place. The benefit of online law tuition is that it allows any LLB tutor to reach outside of their location. The whole globe is the market for the online savvy private law tutor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Third, there has been a proliferation of various tools in recent times to help private law tutors with their online law tuition services. These tools include screen sharing, uploading documents such as essays and dissertations for the private tutor to check through, and interactive whiteboards. Although some of these tools may seem unfamiliar to you now, they may soon become common place to all law tutors who ply their trade in the digital realm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The average LLB tutor will of course benefit from these advances, but it is not just the teaching side of the LLB tutoring industry that will benefit but also students themselves. Many students who study the LLB do not do so in big city hubs, and will not have access to physical law tutors in the abundance that those in city centres do, but through online law tuition they will be able to get the same high quality education. That means law students that are studying closely related courses to the LLB can tap into the best LLB tutors, a group that includes trainee barristers, academic researchers and first class graduate students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many factors parents and students consider when choosing a effective private tutor. Some considerations can include age, sex, experience, qualifications, reputation/track record, budget, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Given that there are many tutors around, how then could you as a tutor stand out? I shall share a few factors which I think is important.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) Passionate and knowledgeable in the subject you are teaching&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is an important criteria that you must fulfill. Other than previous grades in school, a good tutor has to demonstrate a good track record, and be able to make references to the why and how of tackling the concept or question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most importantly, a good tutor must be able to put seemingly difficult concepts into simple terms, making sure that the student can absorb and assimilate the details.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Passion is also important because a good tutor must want to impart his skills, knowledge as well as passion to his/her students. He/she must want to target for full marks, and not just sufficiently high grades, for his/her students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) Active tutoring&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are tutors who are tutoring passively. That means, they sit around and watch the students do their homework/schoolwork. There are tutors who simply tell the students to try and try again, without offering much active help&lt;a href=&quot;https://citylawtutor.co.uk/&quot;&gt;https://citylawtutor.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;. In my opinion, this is clearly a waste of money by the student. Why pay so much to employ a guardian to watch over you do your own work?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Active tutors take the initiative to provide notes and questions to their students, and teach in such a way that it helps the students think, comprehend, analyse, and understand concepts and questions. They repeat this process again and again. They train the student to grasp concepts, to utilise effectively every tool in their hands (calculators, rulers, etc) and to make full use of exam strategies to reduce their careless mistakes or take advantage of the structure in which questions are set.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3) Motivating&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is to me the most important factor to be present in a good tutor. To do so, tutors have to be able to build good rapport with their students. They have to create the hunger, the want, the confidence to score in their students.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many a times, I have come across students who are desperate, dejected and totally low in confidence. They sought tuition from me as a last resort, as if I&#39;m a miracle pill to at least help them pass a subject. And luckily for them, I managed to instill more confidence in everyone of them, give them hope, and finally, they achieve a grade that is way better than a pass.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are also students who have totally no idea why they should study a particular subject. I have this student who plans to go into game design, and cannot think of any reason to study and do well in physics, other than to make the grade. That unmotivation remains, until I explained how mechanics and physics are also required in games, and went into some details on how the programmer needs basic knowledge in these aspects in physics to create a realistic game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are many more stories, but I would have to stop. In short, a good tutor will be able to help students break out of their rut and work hard for their goals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4) Responsible&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A good tutor will take responsibility for all of his/her students. Being responsible as a tutor means&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;i) willing and want to take the student all the way to the end of the year&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ii) do not teach the wrong things. When unsure, state so, and do extensive research before teaching the student the correct things. It is a hideous sin to make the student unlearn wrong things.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;iii) ensure that the student improve in grades&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/feeds/1112146045315583428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/02/online-law-tuition-increasingly-popular.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/1112146045315583428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/1112146045315583428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/02/online-law-tuition-increasingly-popular.html' title='Online Law Tuition - Increasingly Popular Among Private Law Tutors'/><author><name>abdulhanan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10440830089288590743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219281330917844833.post-296179549261448909</id><published>2022-01-24T05:47:00.004-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-24T05:47:32.612-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Great Savings With Online Shopping</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Just imagine - you thought of shopping and there you are - you have bought the desired products without actually going anywhere! This is the online shopping trend!! You need not get ready wearing your favorite attire and footwear, taking out your car, getting stuck up in traffic jams, visiting from one store to another till your whole day is wasted! And you end up buying only a few things, not all that you have included in the list&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://themattressstore.com/                                  &quot;&gt;https://themattressstore.com/&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. And then you will have to go through a similar hassle another day or two. All these can be negated with shopping in an online shopping mall. It is real convenience right at your doorstep!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Your credit card and debit card can get you all the products on earth at your doorstep right from refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, digital photo frames, microwave ovens, PlayStations to jewelleries, apparel, watches, fashion accessories, footwear, crockery, and lots more&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://toughturtleturf.com&quot;&gt;https://toughturtleturf.com&lt;/a&gt;. The greatest advantage of buying from an online shopping mall is that you can come across a number of brands with competitive prices. After comparing the brands in terms of features and prices you can choose the one that best satisfies you. And there are no hassles involved. In a matter of a few minutes (or if you conduct enough research, it may take more time), you can buy your desired products. In a matter of a few days, you will receive the products at your home. It is the discount shopping associated with buying from an online shopping mall that has led to the popularity of this trend. Besides, you get redeem points; every time you buy a product, you get points. You can get the points accumulated and once you know that there are enough points, you can get the points redeemed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;When you are ready to use your credit card or debit card for discount shopping, do ensure the authenticity of the online shopping mall. Reading of reviews can help you choose a reliable platform. The payment gateway should be safe; also the online mall should have in its databank various brands. If you conduct a research, you will be able to choose the best online shopping mall to buy products regularly. Besides comparing prices of different products to get the cheapest option available in the best quality, you can also come across a number of lucrative deals and offers with online shopping.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/feeds/296179549261448909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/great-savings-with-online-shopping.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/296179549261448909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/296179549261448909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/great-savings-with-online-shopping.html' title='Great Savings With Online Shopping'/><author><name>abdulhanan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10440830089288590743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219281330917844833.post-7158509433575734052</id><published>2022-01-24T05:47:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-24T05:47:07.472-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Financial Modeling: Investment Property Model</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Building financial models is an art. The only way to improve your craft is to build a variety of financial models across a number of industries. Let&#39;s try a model for an investment that is not beyond the reach of most individuals - an investment property.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Before we jump into building a financial model, we should ask ourselves what drives the business that we are exploring. The answer will have significant implications for how we construct the model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who Will Use It?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Who will be using this model and what will they be using it for? A company may have a new product for which they need to calculate an optimal price&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://fe-acc18t.ru/&quot;&gt;https://fe-acc18t.ru/&lt;/a&gt;. Or an investor may want to map out a project to see what kind of investment return he or she can expect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Depending on these scenarios, the end result of what the model will calculate may be very different. Unless you know exactly what decision the user of your model needs to make, you may find yourself starting over several times until you find an approach that uses the right inputs to find the appropriate outputs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;On to Real Estate&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In our scenario, we want to find out what kind of financial return we can expect from an investment property given certain information about the investment&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;www.flexyvo.com/ &quot;&gt;www.flexyvo.com/&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. This information would include variables such as the purchase price, rate of appreciation, the price at which we can rent it out, the financing terms available fore the property, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Our return on this investment will be driven by two primary factors: our rental income and the appreciation of the property value. Therefore, we should begin by forecasting rental income and the appreciation of the property in consideration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Once we have built out that portion of the model, we can use the information we have calculated to figure out how we will finance the purchase of the property and what financial expenses we can expect to incur as a result.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Next we tackle the property management expenses. We will need to use the property value that we forecasted in order to be able to calculate property taxes, so it is important that we build the model in a certain order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;With these projections in place, we can begin to piece together the income statement and the balance sheet. As we put these in place, we may spot items that we haven&#39;t yet calculated and we may have to go back and add them in the appropriate places.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Finally, we can use these financials to project the cash flow to the investor and calculate our return on investment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Laying Out the Model&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;We should also think about how we want to lay it out so we keep our workspace clean. In Excel, one of the best ways to organize financial models is to separate certain sections of the model on different worksheets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;We can give each tab a name that describes the information contained in it. This way, other users of the model can better understand where data is calculated in the model and how it flows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In our investment property model, let&#39;s use four tabs: property, financing, expenses and financials. Property, financing and expenses will be the tabs on which we input assumption and make projections for our model. The financials tab will be our results page where we will display the output of our model in a way that&#39;s easily understood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Forecasting Revenues&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s start with the property tab by renaming the tab &quot;Property&quot; and adding this title in cell A1 of the worksheet. By taking care of some of these formatting issuing on the front end, we&#39;ll have an easier time keeping the model clean.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Next, let&#39;s set up our assumptions box. A few rows below the title, type &quot;Assumptions&quot; and make a vertical list of the following inputs:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Purchase Price&lt;br /&gt;Initial Monthly Rent&lt;br /&gt;Occupancy Rate&lt;br /&gt;Annual Appreciation&lt;br /&gt;Annual Rent Increase&lt;br /&gt;Broker Fee&lt;br /&gt;Investment Period&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In the cells to the right of each input label, we&#39;ll set up an input field by adding a realistic placeholder for each value. We will format each of these values to be blue in color. This is a common modeling convention to indicate that these are input values. This formatting will make it easier for us and others to understand how the model flows. Here are some corresponding values to start with:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;$250,000.00&lt;br /&gt;$1,550.00&lt;br /&gt;95.00%&lt;br /&gt;3.50%&lt;br /&gt;1.00%&lt;br /&gt;6.00%&lt;br /&gt;4 years&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The purchase price will be the price we expect to pay for a particular property. The initial monthly rent will be the price for which we expect to rent out the property. The occupancy rate will measure how well we keep the property rented out (95% occupancy will mean that there will only be about 18 days that the property will go un-rented between tenants each year).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Annual appreciation will determine the rate that the value of our property increases (or decreases) each year. Annual rent increase will determine how much we will increase the rent each year. The broker fee measures what percentage of the sale price of the property we will have to pay a broker when we sell the property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The investment period is how long we will hold the property for before we sell it. Now that we have a good set of property assumptions down, we can begin to make calculations based on these assumptions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Note on Time Periods&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;There are many ways to begin forecasting out values across time. You could project financials monthly, quarterly, annually or some combination of the three. For most models, you should consider forecasting the financials monthly during the first couple years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;By doing so, you allow users of the model to see some of the cyclicality of the business (if there is any). It also allows you to spot certain problems with the business model that may not show up in annual projections (such as cash balance deficiencies). After the first couple of years, you can then forecast the financials on an annual basis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;For our purposes, annual projections will cut down on the complexity of the model. One side effect of this choice is that when we begin amortizing mortgages later, we will wind up incurring more interest expense than we would if we were making monthly principal payments (which is what happens in reality).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Another modeling choice you may want to consider is whether to use actual date headings for your projection columns (12/31/2010, 12/31/2011,...). Doing so can help with performing more complex function later, but again, for our purposes, we will simply use 1, 2, 3, etc. to measure out our years. In Excel, we can play with the formatting of these numbers a bit to read:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;These numbers should be entered below our assumptions box with the first year starting in at least column B. We will carry these values out to year ten. Projections made beyond ten years do not have much credibility so most financial models do not exceed ten years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/feeds/7158509433575734052/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/financial-modeling-investment-property.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/7158509433575734052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/7158509433575734052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/financial-modeling-investment-property.html' title='Financial Modeling: Investment Property Model'/><author><name>abdulhanan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10440830089288590743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219281330917844833.post-4139457881132258314</id><published>2022-01-24T05:46:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-24T05:46:05.910-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Online Shopping Information</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Holidays or not, online shopping is fast becoming the main shopping choice for many people. People prefer online stores for their shopping needs over the brick-and-mortar stores for a variety of reasons - discounted prices, quick price comparisons, unavailability of desired items in the retail stores, 24 hours shopping convenience, etc. Whatever the reason is, before you jump into the online shopping bandwagon, you must consider a few things to avoid frustration and monetary loss.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Before you pull out your credit card to buy an item at an unbelievably reduced price, think about the reasons why the merchant is throwing out his profits. Maybe it is a total scam and they want your credit card number to rip you off. Or maybe they want your personal data&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://beamy.jp/                                            &quot;&gt;https://beamy.jp/&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. If you find a shopping site, usually advertised in a spam e-mail, that sells for example $100 software for $10, look out! You can bet that this is a scammer&#39;s site. For this reason it is safe to stay with the big online shopping sites. Sites that are publicly traded or reputable private companies do not spam your email inbox with unsolicited advertisements. And these big online shopping sites have a state of the art secure checkout systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Before you select sites that are worthy of your hard earned money, ask your friends about their experiences with online shopping sites. Another approach is to use a search engine like Yahoo to search for items you plan to purchase. When you use Yahoo to search for an item, you will get advertised and non-advertised sites offering your searched items at different prices&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://sozzeal.com/      &quot;&gt;https://sozzeal.com/&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. Don&#39;t simply jump to the first website that offers your searched item at the lowest price. Check out a few sites before you decide where to make the purchase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Many sites like bizrate.com or nexttag.com offer price comparisons, reviews, and shopping site ratings. Use these sites to read reviews and to do a price comparison. Sites like techbargains.com publish information on latest bargains, coupons, and discounts offered by various online shopping sites. Websites like deals2buy.com offer everyday hot deals and coupons. Monitoring this type of sites provides opportunities to get great bargains. One comparison shopping site, buysafeshopping.com, provides information on qualified shopping sites that have gone through a screening process for merchant&#39;s identity, online sales experience, and the ability to deliver purchased items.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;If you have to shop with an unknown online merchant, check for their telephone number at their website. Contact someone at the merchant&#39;s physical location and talk to them. Ask them about their privacy and refund policy. If you cannot find a phone number or the phone number goes to a voice mail instead to a live person, go shopping somewhere else. There are dozens, if not hundreds, good online merchants for any items you want to buy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;At the online checkout counter, you have to use a credit card to pay. When you use your credit card, make sure that your credit card and personal information are sent using encryption to avoid someone intercepting your information for unauthorized use. To check for encryption, look for https in the URL. It is perfectly safe if the site has http in its URL for all pages except the order page - the page where you enter your credit card and other personal information like address, etc. Also, look for a closed lock icon in the bottom right corner that indicates the webpage is secure. Avoid public computers at cafes, airports, etc. for your purchases. The danger is that hackers can install key-loggers to log your key strokes before they are encrypted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Always use a credit card to pay for your online purchases. Most credit cards have online purchase protection. If something goes wrong, you can always call your credit card company and dispute the charge. You do not have to pay for your disputed charges till the dispute is resolved. Federal laws limit your liability to $50 in charges should someone uses your card fraudulently. Never use a debit card. Debit cards pull money out of your bank account as soon as the transaction is made. If you are ripped off, it may take months before you get your money back - that is if you ever see it again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;How safe is online shopping? If you are careful, you can guard yourself against identity and credit card thefts by following safety tips, such as the ones discussed above. A big safety tip is that you have to have a firewall, antivirus software and anti-phishing software on your computer to be completely confident that your online transaction would be processed securely.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/feeds/4139457881132258314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/online-shopping-information.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/4139457881132258314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/4139457881132258314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/online-shopping-information.html' title='Online Shopping Information'/><author><name>abdulhanan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10440830089288590743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219281330917844833.post-7215947703360942998</id><published>2022-01-24T05:45:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-24T05:45:39.106-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Top 5 Tips For Landing Your Next Social Work Job</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;1.)

Have you thought about where you want to be five or ten years down the road? We are trained to ask this of our clients, but how often do we really ask this question for ourselves?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;When developing your career path, you may find it helpful to think about a few things&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://Myworksocial.com&quot;&gt;Myworksocial.com&lt;/a&gt;. You took the $13 an hour youth counseling job because that is the only one you could get at the time. Look around you. How many of your coworkers said the position was just temporary, only to be in the same spot, burnt-out, five years later? Are you where you thought you would be when you decided to become a social worker? What was that original passion and vision that moved you?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Have a future vision that motivates you and outline all the small roads that will get you there&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buyledmasks.com&quot;&gt;buyledmasks.com&lt;/a&gt;. Start with one road at a time (with time lines of course). Though following your passion may at times be difficult, just remember what Henry Ford said, &quot;Whether you think you can or you can&#39;t, you&#39;re right.&quot; Believe you can!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;2.) Who is in your Network?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;As social workers we know everything is about our network, from finding our dream social work job, to creating social change. So, what area of social work do you want to be in and who do you know associated with that field? Perhaps more importantly, who don&#39;t you know that you need to know to get your break? How are you going to meet them?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Tap into your social network to get leads. Let EVERYONE know (by direct phone calls, emails, or visits) you are searching and what social work position you are searching for. You never know where an opportunity might come from. It can be helpful if you have an in to get acquainted with an organization, but if not, consider an internship or volunteer work. Many social workers have landed jobs through these opportunities. It&#39;s a win-win scenario. Perspective employers get to see a sample of your work and you get to see if an agency is a good fit for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;You may want to consider the internet as an option for networking. You can find and introduce yourself to social workers on sites like LinkedIn or Facebook. Social Work Network is a similar site, but more specific to social work networking needs. You can find social workers by location, degree, school, company, and expertise/interests, as well as search thousands of social work jobs or internship and volunteer opportunities. These sites are free resources, so why not take advantage of them?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;3.) Be Assertive&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Ever want to say to an employer, &quot;Don&#39;t call me, I&#39;ll call you&quot;? You have the chance to do this at the end of your cover letter. Simply let the employer know you will contact them in a few days to discuss the position further. In a time where competition for social work jobs is fierce, such a technique may give you the edge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Prior to calling, jot down a few things you want to know about the position, as well as a few points of value you add to it. Common questions are, &quot;How did this position come to be open?&quot; and &quot;What is your hiring time line?&quot; When you call, make sure the employer knows the call will only take a few minutes of their time. Here is a sample intro, &quot;Hello Dr. Smith. My name is Andrea Ricci and I am calling about the Adult Advocate position listed on Social Work Network. I&#39;ll only take a few moments of your time [Shy away from asking whether or not it is a good time to talk, you might get shut-off immediately. Instead, get straight to the point]. I am interested in this position because I have my Master&#39;s Degree in Social Work and worked for seven years as the Adult Advocate for Yourtown Court [Just added value to the position and probably peaked employer&#39;s interest]. How did this position come to be open? [Nice open ended question].&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;At the end of the phone call, ask for an interview. You don&#39;t want to leave the phone call open ended with the ball in the employer&#39;s court, so keep it in yours! Say something like, &quot;It seems like my experience and this position are a good fit. Would it be possible to discuss this more in an interview? I have a portfolio of my work I would like to share for your review.&quot; You have nothing to lose by asking for an interview and now the employer is put in a position where they might say yes -especially if you&#39;re offering them a portfolio they may be interested in seeing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;4.) What&#39;s in your Portfolio?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Portfolios are excellent tools to showcase your skills and set you apart from the competition. It is generally a sampling of the work you have done during your social work career. Include, in a three ring binder, a label on the front with your name and contact information using bold, clear, traditional fonts. Use plastic sleeves to hold all of your documents and include a Table of Contents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Here are some things to include in your portfolio: a resume (specifically tailored to the position you are applying for), grant proposals, press releases, media relations, anything that documents computer skills (presentation with PowerPoint, research with SPSS), research proposals, policy analysis, a professionally written letter, reference letters, supervisor evaluations, public testimony, certifications, etc. If it is not clear from looking at the document what it is, include a typed written white label on the lower right hand sleeve that includes the purpose, your role, and date of the project. Make sure to change the content of your portfolio for each job you interview to reflect competence in the skills necessary for each position.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Once you have a portfolio, hurl it in all your cover letters, phone calls, and job interviews. It is an extra incentive for employers to interview you and can sometimes make or break getting a position. When you leave your portfolio with a prospective employer, make a plan to pick it up. You may wish to ask the employer how long they would like to have the portfolio or you may choose to set a time line yourself, &quot;I would like to leave my portfolio for your review. Would it be convenient if I stopped back on Friday to pick it up?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;5.) Check Yourself&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Job hunting in the social work profession can be overwhelming. Make sure to take care of yourself through the process. Some people find it helpful to develop check-boxes of personal and professional tasks they wish to accomplish the next day. You may want to apply for three jobs, go to your son&#39;s soccer game, wash the car, and go to the gym. Include them all in one to do list, mixing them up if needed. The truth is...we only have one life. If one part of it is lapsing, it will affect the other. Tend to your personal needs equally with your professional ones so that both your private life and career are rising together and mutually benefiting one another.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/feeds/7215947703360942998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/top-5-tips-for-landing-your-next-social.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/7215947703360942998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/7215947703360942998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/top-5-tips-for-landing-your-next-social.html' title='Top 5 Tips For Landing Your Next Social Work Job'/><author><name>abdulhanan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10440830089288590743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219281330917844833.post-32506343429161748</id><published>2022-01-24T05:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-24T05:45:05.959-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What Are French Home Accessories?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;The traditional French home accessories denote a diverse range of pottery products and items that primarily focus on ease of use and functioning while maintaining artistic presence. French pottery is a traditional crafting technique that is centuries old. Even, today the technique is well preserved and maintained by many families as business in the southeastern part of France. Since French pottery is age old, it created lots of products and items. In this article, we will look into the wide range of French home accessories to know which items originally offer the French ethnicity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Primarily the French home accessories include following&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;- Kitchen Accessories&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;- Table Linen&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;- Glassware and Pottery&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;- Living Room&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;French Table Linen:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;French Table linen holds a strong share of the items under French home accessories category. Most of these items come from Provence in France&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://matras-centre.ru&quot;&gt;https://matras-centre.ru&lt;/a&gt;. These products are offered by family run businesses. They do not come from heavily industrialized suppliers but small families who maintain their crafting secrecy. All the items under French table linen are hand picked&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pg168.com/ &quot;&gt;https://pg168.com/&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. Therefore, when you opt for such linens you are sure to get the great quality without compromise. The sole designing aspect of these linens by their maker makes them superior to other table linens. Under the French table linen, you can buy Provencal breadbaskets, Provencal tablecloths and placemats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Glassware and Pottery:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;The true essence of French glassware and pottery is in their use of color and production technique. In most cases, these are handcrafted items. Whether it is an earthenware, stoneware or porcelain, all the glassware and pottery items are made by hand. No machine is used in making them in bulk. A potter will devote his time, energy and passion to create one piece of such items. In addition, he will do the same for each individual craft pieces. Another fact about these items is they will follow a design pattern and coordinated colors. You will rarely find contrast colors. One can get cookware, tea &amp;amp; coffee set, tableware, glassware and storage under this category of products.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Living Room:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Decorative accessories like table lamps, photo frames, mirrors, chandeliers, flower vases, candleholders etc fall into this category. Well, these are not made from clay but these are hand crafted. The artisan uses different metals to give the items desired shapes and then paint them. Along with metal, the artisan can use pebbles, shells etc to create these products. However, these items fall in the Living room range but they can complement any requirement for other rooms in a home like bedrooms, dining rooms etc. The French home decorative accessories are great items to collect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kitchen Accessories:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Well, this part is bit interesting. The French home accessories are well known as beautiful kitchen accessories. However, the people who make these accessories do not really believe in it. For them, cooking and eating is the concentration of their works. They ideally do not give much attention to the look. Yes, that is a mismatch. Nevertheless, it is the truth. Therefore, in French kitchen accessories you can get comfort and ease of use of items along with beautiful look. The kitchen accessories from France are now divided into two dominant criteria like modern style and old style. Both of them offer you great possession.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;However, we have discussed the major categories of the items that fall under the French home accessories categories; we have still not covered all the items. Since each piece is unique in terms of design, look, color and beauty, it is complex to put all of them under single title. Each of them requires much attention in the detail and eye for beauty. If you care a lot about the attention to detail and pose an eye for beauty, then buying French home accessories will make you proud.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/feeds/32506343429161748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/what-are-french-home-accessories.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/32506343429161748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/32506343429161748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/what-are-french-home-accessories.html' title='What Are French Home Accessories?'/><author><name>abdulhanan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10440830089288590743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219281330917844833.post-9093703084147887114</id><published>2022-01-24T05:44:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-24T05:44:28.963-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Digital Marketing Agency: What Makes Them Effective?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Digital marketing agencies play a big role in helping personal brands and businesses make their mark online.

However, advertising involves cost. The more people you want to reach out to, the higher your expenses will be. Although it is an essential factor required to market your business, there are other options in generating organic traffic and leads to your website without having to pay for advertising - content marketing and link building.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;If a marketer fails to mention the importance of link building and content creation for your brand, you can say that you are with the wrong partner to help you with your business. Content marketing is an essential area in digital marketing that fuels brands with &quot;free organic traffic&quot; from the web.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In a generation that relies on the internet as its main source of information - for news, brands, ideas, and knowledge, failure to tap into content marketing is a waste of resources. Getting listed in search engines, for free, is only possible through content marketing and link building efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Communicates Regularly&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Successful online marketing agencies do not limit themselves with regular reports that they facilitate to their clients. On top of the reports that they do, they communicate regularly with clients, informing issues that require immediate attention or approval from the client&#39;s side.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;A partner agency will have a hard time running a campaign for a client if they are not equipped with the right methods in communicating with their client. There should be a personal rapport between the team and the clients to ensure a smooth flow in the whole marketing processes. Communicating through digital means can be complicated at times, thus building and establishing relationships that would remove these communication barriers is a must.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Digital Fluency and Strong Problem Solving Skills&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Different clients require different types of marketing campaigns and strategies. Fluency in digital marketing, in all its aspects, whether in print, television and social media is a must.

This can hold true both when employees are acting on behalf of your business and when they use social media for their personal use.

Of course, that strategy should start with an appropriate social media policy.

Sponsored endorsers can also potentially create liability for your business through any deceptive claims made about any products or services offered by your business.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why A Social Media Policy Can Protect Your Business&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;If you have employees or use any type of third-party marketers or affiliates, you should adopt a written social media policy. Though not an absolute shield from liability, businesses must adopt social media use policies protecting the employer consistent with the company&#39;s organizational culture. Not only can these policies serve as a strong deterrent to employees, they can be uses as the basis of terminating employees and affiliates or other third-parties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, What Should Your Company Social Media Policy Really Say (Or Not Say)?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Of course, your company&#39;s social media policy should make clear to employees what the employer expects with regard to social media use, both on and off the job. These expectations may vary between companies, but employers should generally be concerned with rules against conduct that may result in unlawful sexual harassment or other liability, rules prohibiting disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, and company policies governing the use of corporate logos and other branding concerns when engaged in social media use. I&#39;ll go into more specific details about what your policy should say below.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;But, the problem every employer must understand with employee social media use is that the individual&#39;s actions may be legally protected. Some states, for example, have laws protecting employees&#39; off-duty activities and political activities or affiliations. At the Federal level, the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;National Labor Relations Act&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;protects employees who engage in &quot;concerted activity,&quot; which often includes the right to discuss the terms and conditions of their employment with co-workers and outsiders.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;If your social media policy has not been updated over the past two years, the policy is likely to be out of compliance with the guidance provided by the National Labor Relations Board recently.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;In addition, federal and state whistle-blower laws protect employees who complain about (among other things) potential securities fraud violations, in certain situations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Practical Guidelines&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Some practical and basic guidelines you should include in any social media policy are listed below. I use the term &quot;employees&quot; to refer to employees, affiliates and all other sponsored endorsers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Employment Rules and Company Code of Conduct&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Require that employees always follow the terms of their employment agreement, employee handbook or other company code of conduct at all times when using social media (obviously this just applies to employees). The social media policy should restrict employees from violating the terms of any company policy via social media use for work or personal purposes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Broad Use Statement&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;You should state that the policy applies to all forms of social media, including multi-media (videos, posts or audio recordings), social networking sites, blogs, podcasts, sharing sites and wikis and covers both professional and personal use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Confidentiality&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Employees should not disclose any information that is confidential or proprietary to the company or to any third-party. What if you have a new product or software application in development that you want to keep confidential? What about financial and other non-public information? There are a million reasons to post rules prohibiting disclosure of confidential or proprietary information on social media sites. The best practice is to define what comprises &quot;confidential&quot; and proprietary information and other trade secrets similar to a non-disclosure agreement and restrict disclosure. This restriction should include personal use and use on company owned sites. But be specific. Rather thanbanning any and all disclosure of confidential information, be specific about exactly what cannot be disclosed (such as trade secrets, customer information, business strategies, etc.).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Endorsements &amp;amp; Affiliation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;If an employee comments on any aspect of the company&#39;s business they must clearly identify themselves as an employee and include a disclaimer. Employees should neither claim nor imply that they are speaking on the company&#39;s behalf unless they are expressly authorized to do so. For example, you should require each employee to use the language &quot;any views expressed are personal opinions and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of ABC Corp.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Advertising Liability&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;All sponsored endorsers must not make any misleading or deceptive ads or claims about your products. All content must be accurate and truthful. Since you are just as responsible as any sponsored endorser would be, you need to have a clear policy on what deceptive advertising is and restrict such claims. In fact, any employee, affiliate, etc. you allow to post or promote on behalf of your business really should truly understand what is deceptive under FTC and state consumer protection laws. Your social media policy should restrict your company&#39;s bloggers or product reviewers, affiliates and marketers against making such claim and the policy should be incorporated in the separate agreements used with any affiliates and independent marketers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Intellectual Property &amp;amp; Brand Dilution&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Restrict your employees from including any company logos or trademarks on their own personal blogs or Facebook pages unless permission is granted. Similarly, they should not be allowed to upload or paste these marks onto any other interactive forum. Clearly communicate the company&#39;s expectations and offer examples of scenarios that are acceptable and include an approved description of the company&#39;s brand. Make it clear that individuals who link online identities with the company and disclose their employment also incorporate the approved language into their online profiles. A policy that includes the positive can help to build advocates for the brand. Trust your employees to drive responsibly if you give them the rules of the road. You should restrict employees from posting unauthorized &#39;promos&#39; that purport to represent the company without pre-approval.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/feeds/4003519083095118366/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/why-your-businesss-social-media-policy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/4003519083095118366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/4003519083095118366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/why-your-businesss-social-media-policy.html' title='Why Your Business&#39;s Social Media Policy May Be A Dud!'/><author><name>abdulhanan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10440830089288590743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219281330917844833.post-8924792677423234109</id><published>2022-01-24T05:43:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-24T05:43:29.390-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Benefits of Alternative News Sites</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Reading the paper online and watching 24-hour news sites is becoming more and more popular.

There is no agenda to their articles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Therefore, it is important to know some of the advantages of reading the news on alternative news sites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;1. As mentioned above, they have the power over what articles they publish.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ridgefieldcarpetcleaning.com                          &quot;&gt;https://ridgefieldcarpetcleaning.com&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;The only purpose they serve is to break the news. They are not feeding us news that has political connotations and they are not biased towards anything. The news you read on their sites is purely for news purposes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;2. They pick their topics. They may have articles on their site that other news stations and websites might deem unworthy of the news. Furthermore, they don&#39;t just focus on the bad news. You will be able to read happy things in the news and some of their articles are really educational.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;3. They aren&#39;t trying to sell you things. Sometimes, when a newspaper is talking about a product or a special offer, they are trying to sell you something. However, with most online news sources, they are trying to educate you. When doing the research for this article, there was a link on an alternative news site on how to get phones for cheap. It was clicked and it was just assumed that there would be a gimmick or it would be asking for money. But, the link actually took you to an article, which showed you how to get cheap phones, but then also warned you on the dangers of auction websites and getting scammed. The article didn&#39;t link to any auction website. It was purely educational.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;4. Another good thing about alternative news sites is that they don&#39;t get bogged down with rehashing things over and over again. If you turn on a news channel or look on one of the well-known news sites, like Sky News, the only thing that they will be talking about is how cold it is in America, There are other things going on in the world right now. There are other things going on in America as well. We all know that the weather is bad and people are suffering but that doesn&#39;t mean that we should ignore everything else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;5. Alternative news sites try to comment on everything. They have sections on celebrity news, discovery news and they even have sections on funny videos and advances in technology and business. We don&#39;t have to hear or read the same things over and over again. We know that murders happen and the economy is bad and they are things that we should know about, but what about everything else? CES 2014 is happening right now and there has been hardly any news coverage at all. These are things that are going to affect us in the future and we hardly know anything about them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/feeds/8924792677423234109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-benefits-of-alternative-news-sites.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/8924792677423234109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/8924792677423234109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-benefits-of-alternative-news-sites.html' title='The Benefits of Alternative News Sites'/><author><name>abdulhanan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10440830089288590743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219281330917844833.post-2547677487049079703</id><published>2022-01-24T05:42:00.005-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-24T05:42:55.364-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Peak Performance in Sports</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;In the sports arena, peak performance in sports has always been a much sought after state by players and coaches of all levels. Whether the athletes are school boys soccer players or Olympians striving for their Gold medals, peak performance in sports has always attracted athletes and coaches alike. In our modern age of sports, where sports science is at a stratospheric level and rising, what are the factors that when applied correctly can lead sports participants to peak performance in sports? Are there secrets to sporting excellence? Are these factors easily manipulated for the benefits of the athletes? This article discusses the factors that can lead athletes and coaches to peak performance in sports.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;There has been many articles and books detailing principles, programs, success factors and the like that can lead to peak performance in sports. Many authors have written at length about them and in many ways, the principles and factors are universal&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.onesportslive.com&quot;&gt;www.onesportslive.com&lt;/a&gt;. The principles of progressive resistance, variety, goal specific training, recovery, etc are all undisputed underlying reasons that allows athletes to achieve peak performance in sports. This article goes a step further by exploring these universal factors in a different light. In the process, I hope to give athletes and coaches alike how to practically apply these principles and which are the factors with higher weightage in terms of achieving success and peak performance in sports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;There are basically two set of factors we need to look into&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://twodaystrip.com                                      &quot;&gt;https://twodaystrip.com&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. Technical and human factors. Let us take a look at the former set of factors first;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Technical Factors&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;1. Quality Preparation&lt;br /&gt;2. Mastering Individual Skills&lt;br /&gt;3. High Fitness Levels&lt;br /&gt;4. Understanding Overall Team Play&lt;br /&gt;5. Filling Up Key Positions of the Team&lt;br /&gt;6. Minimise Errors in Games&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;1. Quality Preparation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The hard work for any sports season begins with the preseason training which is very intensive. No body likes this season, as the work and training required is often very boring and painful. But this has to be done for the athletes to be optimally prepared for the rigours of the competitive phase. The endurance, strength, speed and skill volumes must be done. Not just the volume of work, but how much quality is put into the preparation phase is vital as well. When players cut corners and put in training at face value without their heart and soul, it will show up later in the competition as fatigue, injuries or lack of sharpness in their performance. Peak performance in sports cannot be possible under such circumstances. The quality of preseason preparation is even more important in youth sports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Very often in schools, the playing seasons for many sports start almost immediately when the school year starts. With our children away for long vacations, our athletes very often return to school to face competitions with very little training time. Team play, fitness building and mental preparation are supposed to be done in 2-3 weeks, which in a sports world is almost impossible and impractical. This kind of preparation is also detrimental to the development of our children. Under these circumstances, coaches and teachers (and parents if possible) have a very important responsibility to ensure that our athletes are well prepared for competition. Training programmes for sports ought to be drawn up and implemented at year&#39;s end previously. Our athletes need to understand that that their season effectively began when their examinations are over. With a training programme started, coaches and teachers can than instruct athletes about a vacation training programme as well. Each athlete should have one whereby, they can do something to improve their playing abilities during their break away from school. It could include things like maintain a certain standard of fitness through endurance activities like cycling, running or swimming, playing catch and pitching in the backyard with their siblings, or even individual practices to improve certain skills. The main thing here is to preserve and improve what has been attained in the preceding season, so that athletes do not return back to school and start from scratch. Simply planning and training this way will ensure quality preparation for the sports teams to attain peak performance in sports later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;2. Mastering Individual Skills&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In all sports and games, there are certain skill sets and skills that are considered basic and necessary. These must be achieved by athletes before they can play at a higher level later. In basketball, dribbling and executing a proper lay-up are crucial. Throwing, catching and fielding skills are a must in baseball and softball. The push-pass and receiving a pass are necessary skills in hockey and floor ball. The list goes on. In preseason training, or at the earliest playing stage, these essential skills must be made known to our young players, and all efforts and time must be spent on mastering these basic skills. Without these skills, a coach will find it very difficult to execute more complex team plays to achieve peak performance in sports. If strikers cannot even control a long pass from a teammate, how can we expect the same player to hold up the ball well up field against oppositions defenders and execute lay-off passed to oncoming teammates in support. It will be wise for coaches to develop these skills early and also for players to keep improving themselves in these skills even though they might feel that they are good enough already.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Even at professional levels, these basic skills for their sports is important for peak performance in sports. The repertoire of skills required and the intensity of how these skills are performed at the highest levels are even more acute. At the highest levels where opponents are very evenly match in all areas, one mistake can often result in a win or loss. It is even more important for professionals to master all the skills required of the game or sports. Only under such intense conditions can peak performance in sports be possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;3. High Fitness Levels&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;At high school levels, many athletes would not have reached their maximal physical development yet no matter how much they train. Physiologically speaking, the development in this area in youths is very varied. Some children reach a high fitness standard faster than others, while others have body types that will only respond to training optimally when they get older. Hence, it can be assumed that a team with the fittest group of players will have the most advantage. No matter how skillful your opponents are, if you are fitter than him or her, you will be able to overcome your lack of fitness by reacting rapidly to overcome your short fall. Let&#39;s say, you are out dribbled by a more skillful opponent in soccer. But if you are fitter than your opponent who have just out-dribbled you, you will be able to track back fast enough to cover your position again. This edge in fitness for youth is very important at the later stages of the game too, as players tend to tire faster at this age. A fitter team will definitely be able to prevail and score more later in the game. Players at this age need to be convinced of this need for fitness, and be encouraged to do whatever they can to attain the highest level of fitness possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;How about professionals? Without a doubt, professional athletes are expected to possess fitness at the highest levels. If they are not, their opponents will be and consequently, they will outperform them and reach their peak performance in sports. Generally speaking, professional sportsmen know how to get into great shape and maintain that till the end of the season. Their physical bodies are also in the best state to be developed to their fullest potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;4. Understanding Overall Team Play&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The next factor of great importance in achieving peak performance in sports is understanding the overall team play by the players. Imagine a coach telling his charges to clear the balls down the flanks in any invasion game. You will be surprise how many players actually understand why they are told to do this. More often than not, the players will just do what is required or told by the coaches. The understanding behind their action is very often very little. They might not know that by playing the ball down the flanks or wing, it actually forces the opponents defence to spread wider, thus leaving more gaps in the middle for the attacker to exploit subsequently. Another statistically advantage is that plays down the flanks generally result in the attacker getting the ball back if it is knocked out of bound. That is why, you often hear players or coaches shouting to their charges to &#39;throw it down the line&#39;. Young players love the direct route to goal and very often that means playing through the middle. Whatever is taught in tactics to the players, coaches must make every effort to explain and make sure that all the players understand the tactical significance of their plays. This form of coaching if done properly, makes the players better players and improve their decision making on the pitch. And we are always looking for more thinking players in our pitch which will give the team a higher chance of achieving peak performance in sports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;5. Filling Up Key Positions of the Team&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The fifth factor that can produce peak performance in sports is actually finding the right players to fill up the most key positions of the team first. In any sport teams, there will be key positions that must be filled first. The point guard in a basketball team is the driver of the team. he controls all plays. A centre in ice-hockey is pivot in both defense and attack, hence he must be the best and fittest and most abled player. The catcher in baseball is the key man, as he dictates and calls the pitches, and also sees the entire fielding situation. These key positions must be filled first, even if it means fielding someone out of position. I use to have a very talented and strong striker who loves to score goals. Unfortunately, I also have a big gap in goal-keeping and he happens to be the best handler of balls in the team. After much persuasion and sacrifice, he finally converted to a goal-keeper. Thanks to his selfless act, the team did extremely well as very few goals were scored against us. It was not easy to make this move. But as the coach than, I felt that the goal-keeper is too important a player to let any Tom, Dick or Harry player, hence it must be the best. These result was the least number of silly errors from our goal-keeping department and that gave the team a much better chance to win games.This brings us to the last technical factor that influence peak performance in sports - making fewest errors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;6. Minimise Errors in Games&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In sports these days, errors often decide the outcome of the game. Errors will be more plentiful at youth and children levels. The fact that children are playing at lower technical and tactical levels makes it inevitable that errors will be made. The team that makes the fewest errors in any game will generally perform at their peak. Its a mentality that must be drilled into players to make the fewest error individually as well as as a team. If you do not believe this, watch your next game with a watchful eye over how goals or points are scored. More often than not, you will realize that a goal started from an error from the opponents somewhere. Or a point or run is a result of some players fumbling the ball. Making many silly errors will not lead a team to peak performance in sports. A team that is doing well makes the fewest errors. So coaches, make sure you train your players to understand this and do the right things in the game. Show them evidence through videos or live games, and they will be convinced that the team with the fewest errors win games and peak in their sports performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;So far we have discussed the technical factors that will lead your team to peak performance in sports. Coaches and players must make sure that these factors are well looked into to ensure that your teams will attain peak performance in sports. Otherwise, it will be a waste of effort and time no matter how talented the team and players are.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In trying to achieve peak performance in sports, human factors are also very important. Understand and master these factors, and success and peak performance in sports is almost a sure thing. But very often these factors are often the hardest to achieved. Here we are drawing on the qualities of human beings to excel in different areas in order for them to reach their peak performance in sports. Very often, these qualities form the foundation of all athletic performances in sports.

Well, in that article, I basically highlighted three points. One that we should not put on makeup or cosmetics while we are doing other things such as driving, two is that we should take good care when storing our cosmetics and must never use cosmetics which we can clearly tell that it has turned bad and three is that we should never share cosmetics with other persons and to take care when trying out cosmetic samples at the departmental store.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;With this article, I plan to continue where I left off and continue to talk about the dangers of cosmetics&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.topandtrending.com&quot;&gt;www.topandtrending.com&lt;/a&gt;. Do you know that cosmetics can cause skin problems? Fragrances and preservatives are the main ingredients in cosmetics and both these substances can cause skin problems. Fragrances are the most common cause of skin problems and more than five thousand different kinds of fragrances are commonly used for cosmetic products. If you are buying cosmetics, make sure that you look for cosmetic products marked &quot;fragrance-free&quot; or &quot;without perfume&quot;. This means that no fragrances were added to the cosmetic to make it smell good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Now guess which is the agent which causes the second most numbers of skin problems. Well it is preservatives. Preservatives are added to cosmetics to prevent bacteria and fungus from growing in the product&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;www.streamkro.com                                         &quot;&gt;www.streamkro.com&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. These preservatives aim to prolong the life of the cosmetics and prevent it from going bad too fast. In addition, preservatives protect the cosmetics from being damaged by constant exposure to air or light. Though the use of preservatives can be essential for the cosmetics, the use of some preservatives can cause irritation and infection of skin. Some examples of preservatives include paraben, imidazolidinyl urea, quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, phenoxyethanol and formaldehyde.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;With such cosmetic products on the market, it is best to be careful when buying cosmetics. What I would recommend is that you check out natural cosmetics. Natural is the in thing these days. When I talk about natural cosmetics, I am talking about organic or mineral cosmetics or make up that is derived from natural and non-chemical sources. These days, many of the cosmetic companies claim that their products are natural and do not do not contain any synthetic chemicals nor were the cosmetics ever tested on animals. Such cosmetics are very highly recommended for people with allergies or those with multiple chemical sensitivities. If your dermatologist advises that you cannot apply any makeup, there seems to be another option for you right now. Why not try out natural cosmetics? I am sure that this would be one of the safest ways to have a pretty face but not take any risks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/feeds/2811103237993383588/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/more-dangers-of-cosmetics.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/2811103237993383588'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6219281330917844833/posts/default/2811103237993383588'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ehgddy7u.blogspot.com/2022/01/more-dangers-of-cosmetics.html' title='More Dangers of Cosmetics'/><author><name>abdulhanan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10440830089288590743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
