While the science fair is typically a common occurrence in any school at any grade level, there are different types of topics that should be taken a look at depending on the age of the student. After first taking a look at the many different categories of science projects, you will be able to locate a suitable choice of topic to take to the next level.There is a wide variety of categories that fall under the types of science projects that can be chosen for a school science fair. These include biology, chemistry, physics, microbiology, biochemistry, medicine, environmental, mathematics, engineering, and earth science. While you may not have yet learned very much in any of these categories, don’t be afraid to see what each one entails. Taking a good look at your interests will allow you to focus on the right direction to take.Many resources are also available for those who are unsure as to the topic they are wanting to use to create their science projects. If you take a look at the topics that fall under the biology category, you will likely notice that there are topics that deal with plants, animals, and humans. For those who are in 2nd grade or 3rd grade, an interesting topic may be to determine if ants are picky over what type of food they eat. While this topic might not be of interest to an 8th grader, it is certainly something in the biology category that an elementary school student would enjoy.Along with the biology category, a high school student may want to take a look at diffusion and osmosis in animal cells as this would be a more appropriate topic for the grade level. A student in 6th grade would be more advanced than an elementary school student, but not as advanced as a high school student. At this middle school grade level, a topic of how pH levels effect the lifespan of a tadpole may be of interest.Whichever resource is used to locate a topic for science projects, it is always a good idea to consider the grade level of the student prior to making a selection. It is always assumed to be best to have a project at an appropriate level in order to keep the attention of the student and provide a fun and enjoyable learning experience. </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://dinepacms.info/requirements-to-becoming-a-fashion-designer,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Educational Think Tank Topics for Radio Listeners and Online Readers</title> <link>https://dinepacms.info/educational-think-tank-topics-for-radio-listeners-and-online-readers,html</link> <comments>https://dinepacms.info/educational-think-tank-topics-for-radio-listeners-and-online-readers,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 10 Feb 2023 11:30:22 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Education]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://dinepacms.info/?p=55</guid> <description><![CDATA[Welcome to our radio show, today’s topic will be education and we will cover a number of side topics along the way.

Just so you know the ground rules, and they are very simple; I talk and you listen. After 30 minutes I will open up the phone lines, or if you are reading this transcript online as an online article that you may leave a comment below for an upcoming future program. Okay so let’s begin, as you know I don’t like to waste time.I guess it goes without saying that a nation is only as strong as its education system was 20 years prior. And that makes this topic very important, especially because it is now October 25, 2012 and we have an election coming up in only 10 days. Although both candidates are very strong for education, our path forward will be determined by the presidential leadership which follows. President Obama is very strong with his belief in the need for education, especially giving everyone a fair chance, regardless of ethnic background, or socioeconomic status. In fact, he himself could not have become president without his college education.His opponent Governor Mitt Romney is also strong in education, in Massachusetts while he was governor they boosted their state to the number one slot, a remarkable achievement for any state. Further, both presidential candidates believe that we need ongoing research in our universities and colleges, and we must carefully focus on math and science for our technologically advanced future. Very few could deny those are good policies, but it won’t be free. Local school districts and states have complained that the federal government all too often passes laws such as; NCLB – No Child Left behind Act, and similar mandates without funding them or sending money to the schools.Most teachers unions claim that the heavy hand of the federal government is too much oversight and too restrictive for their teaching in the classroom, and they are afraid that too many teachers are teaching to the test to ensure that all the kids are able to read, and therefore it becomes more of a “no child allowed to advance” doctrine. Of course, those are hardly the only problems, as we see right now college tuition has gone through the roof, and the default on student loans is now at 10%. Regardless if you are a left-leaning socialist professional academic, you only have to look at that number to realize that it is; unsustainable. To borrow a trendy socialist term, now then, the let’s go ahead and talk about what’s going on with regards to these high tuition costs.1.) Students Rally to Ensure That Budget Cuts Do Not Hurt the Community CollegesThere was an interesting article in the Los Angeles times on October 16, 2012 by Carla Riviera titled; “A Dash for Classes – Community College Students Are Commuting – By Bus, Car and Train – To Multiple Campuses Because of Severe Budget Cuts.” This is simply because the community colleges have cut classes and the number of teachers out in California. Therefore the students have to go to two or three different community colleges to get the classes they need, and then merge the transcripts later so they can graduate. Interestingly enough this problem has been going on for decades and it was even a problem after I graduated high school from what I remember.Now the teachers are gathering with the students in protest. They are telling the California legislature that they are angry, and if they don’t get their money, they will show up en masse to vote against those that have cut, or will cut the community college budget in the future. There was another article a little over a week before on October 14, 2012 in the same newspaper titled; “Prop 30 Inspires Student Voter Drives – Gov. Jerry Brown’s tax hike proposal is being touted as the only way to avoid tuition hikes,” by Larry Gordon. So what we have now is the teachers union which is lobbying for more money, and the students who were going to vote to get more college at a lower cost.Do you know what this means? It means that the taxpayer will now have to pay more to subsidize these college students, but I ask as a taxpayer; why it’s my problem, I’m not going to school? Why should I have to subsidize someone else’s education? There are student loans available, everyone else is getting student loans, and the community colleges don’t cost that much anyway. Further, why don’t some of these students go out and get a job? Well, it just so happens that there are not that many jobs available because our economy is in shambles, mostly because the economic stimulus didn’t work, as the Obama Administration spent the money on things which did not drive employment numbers as was planned.Another thing I find unfortunate is if these students get away with registering to vote in large numbers, then they will realize that the squeaky wheel gets the oil, and that socialism can work for at least them and as long as they continue to demand more things from the government in the future, having other people pay for it, that their protests and activism will help them over others. This is a bad message for our future. They are basically voting to raise taxes on everyone else so they can get lower costs for college for themselves. Do you see the problem with this?In other words, what I’m saying to you is if I get a whole bunch of friends together, and we tell the government that we want free iPads and new Corvettes, and we will only vote for the politician that promises us these things so we can have them? No matter that everyone’s taxes will be raised so me and my friend get what we want. You might think that that was an outlandish example, and I’ve taken this argument too far, but essentially it’s the same thing isn’t it?Further, what bothers me about paying for everyone else’s college, if these college students usually end up voting for left-leaning politicians, because many of the college professors and teachers vote that way, and therefore they are becoming indoctrinated to vote a democrat straight ticket, and that indoctrination I am paying for as a taxpayer as well.Well as you can see, we just can’t get away from the politics of education, and the lines to the politics are everywhere aren’t they? Right now the unions are lining up to support the Democrats, and the taxpayers are getting tired of paying for underfunded pensions, Cadillac health care benefits or government employees, and the demands of some of these unions. It’s almost an outright street brawl, and in some places it’s already come to blows. At some point we have to realize that it’s not about the teachers unions, or the voters, it’s about a good healthy education system to propel this great nation forward.2.) Why Don’t We Teach Kids Economics in High School, and Make Sure They Can Balance a Checkbook before Graduating?Have you ever considered that perhaps we could have foregone the real estate debacle if people had just understood simple interest, and amortized loans? What if people knew how to make a family budget, knew how to do their own taxes without taking them to a tax preparer, or had better understood business cycles and economics? If so, fewer people would’ve engaged in liar loans, or no doc loans, to buy homes they would’ve realized that when you borrow money, you have to pay it back. If you lie about how much money you make, and take the loan anyway, that you will not be able to repay it.Worse, many folks took out ARM loans, this is where the payments start out low, and increase after a few years. Those type of loans are really good for commercial construction because companies can build a building such as a carwash, restaurant, or some other commercial building and make lower payments until they get the business occupied, and up and running and making money. There are lots of good reasons for these types of loans, but they aren’t so good for single-family dwellings, especially to low income people, or people who could barely qualify anyway.Some of the people who bought homes on these ARM Loans didn’t even have enough money to buy a chicken coop for $1400 much less a $400,000 home. However, with loans easy to get, and so many people willing to take those loans thinking they could flip those homes and sell them for more as the market kept pushing prices up – you can see why that was unsustainable, even if Wall Street found a way to repackage those loans which were not worth the paper they were printed on to sell them as investment vehicles.The whole thing was bound to crash, and even Alan Greenspan mentioned; “I can’t believe bankers would act like that,” and yes, neither can I except; those bankers only held those mortgages for a very short amount of time before they were bundled and sold again. Of course, this also gets back to personal responsibility, financial management, and an understanding the value of money. One could ask what on earth are we teaching in the schools, and why did people take those loans out in the first place?Well, there was an interesting article the Wall Street Journal on October 20, 2012 by Matthew Dolan which was titled; “Teaching the ABCs of College Costs – As Rising Tuition Puts More Students Deeper in Debt, Schools Offer Courses to Explain Their Budgets, Financial-Aid Plans.” Well, that’s good isn’t it? Why do I say that? It’s because I see a bubble brewing with college tuition and the trillion dollars of student debt which is now outstanding, 10% of that is in default. That means $100 billion, and this is the start of the big bubble burst.All the while, these kids are getting out of college sometimes with $100,000 worth of student loans, but no jobs. Next, we have the Obama Administration telling everyone they need to go to college, and that all of our high schools need to prepare kids to go to college. Why I ask? If there are no jobs when they get out, we’ve essentially put them into economic enslavement, and they will not be able to pay their student loans. There is no honor in recommending that to the next generation of kids coming up.Further, where it is good that some of these colleges are doing this and offering these courses, any prudent, reasonable, and responsible consumer, college student, or parent should have already considered all this. Are people really that dumb, that they can’t figure this out without someone teaching a class to explain it to them? I find that rather unfortunate. After all, the same people are voters, which might make sense now seeing as half of our population are busy voting for socialists who are promising them things which will never occur at the time when we are approaching a financial debt cliff. Do you see my point yet?4.) Politicians and Sociologists Tell Us That the Path to Success Is Going to College and We Must Not Deny Immigrants or Minorities the OpportunityBut again, I ask; is going to college really an opportunity? Or is it just an opportunity to enter economic enslavement? There was an interesting article in the LA times on 10-14-2012 which was titled; “Some Are in Denial About Precarious State of Schools – rate readers blame illegal immigrants, union, officials and more. But if prop 30 and 38 fail, the situation will be dire,” by Steve Lopez. Nevertheless, why should taxpayers give more money to an unsustainable situation? It’s not working as it is, why throw more money at it? And realize this is out here in California, but the same issue are going on across the nation.The presidential candidates seem to think that the federal government can help out? But in the last four years the Obama Administration has already been deficit spending by $1 trillion per year. The federal government can’t even bail itself out, how is it supposed to bail out our schools unless our economy gets back on its feet? And how can our government get back on its feet if everyone keeps voting for socialist type initiatives, getting free stuff, more social programs, all paid by the government? Who’s paying for that? If we keep raising taxes, people will have fewer dollars to spend on goods and services therefore there will be fewer people employed making those goods or providing service.That means all the people getting out of school won’t have jobs, they will not be available, but those kids will still have $100,000 in student tuition debt. Can anyone see this isn’t working? Do you know why? It’s because socialism doesn’t work, and we need to get the federal government out of our schools, but because this is such a serious issue. Since parents and communities aren’t getting satisfaction locally, they are looking for the federal government to step in. But may I ask; when has the federal government ever done anything right in any program they’ve ever done nationwide?That giant blob of bureaucracy can’t run our schools, nor should we wish them to try from a centralized point out of Washington DC. All they give us is mandates, and they don’t fund them to our satisfaction, which is provides more bureaucracy in our schools, and that means less teaching. Why would anyone agree to that? There has to be a better way? So I ask; can technology fix these challenges?5.) What about More Technology in the Classroom, Coupled with More Online Learning?There was an interesting article on October 21, 2012 in my local paper; the Desert Sun. The article was titled “Teaching with Technology – Schools look to boost use of computers, other gadgets without breaking the budget,” by Michele Mitchell. Could a combination of teachers and technology allow for these larger class sizes with more learning outside the classrooms? What about more online videos, using those same technologies? What if those kids could take home those iPads, tablets, and laptops? What if they use their own personal tech devices on their own time, and come to school less often?Is there a way to do more online supervised learning, is that the answer? Can our students learn faster, in such accelerated programs? The smart kids often say that school is boring, that they are slowed down by kids that don’t learn as fast or maybe don’t even speak English that well because they are ESL or “English as a Second Language”. Is technology really the way out? In my area some of the school districts are asking for a vote on what they call; “Measure X” which would provide for “a $41 million bond for improving the district’s high-speed Internet service and infrastructure, also to purchase teacher laptops and an iPad for every student.”Still, is floating a bond and borrowing more money really the way to go? When you borrow money you have to pay it back, and the bondholders are guaranteed a return on their investment. The problem is that many of these school districts are already laden with legacy cost, underfunded pensions, and budgets which are not only unsustainable, they aren’t working right now. Improving Internet service, and purchasing more computer infrastructure, or even buying laptops which will be obsolete in two years. Or purchasing iPads which will get destroyed, broken, and also be obsolete, or be riddled with hacking challenges could turn out to be a waste of $41 million couldn’t it?What about higher education? There seems to be a revolution going on with online lectures, and online teaching. Another interesting article to read was written by L. Rafael Reif titled; “What Campuses Can Learn from Online Teaching,” published on October 3, 2012 which noted; “searching for that sweet spot where cyber students around the world pay a small fee that helps make the residential college more affordable.” In other words, universities and colleges can subsidize some of their costs by selling inexpensive online education lectures and courses to people in other countries, or folks that can’t afford to go to college, but need that information to put on their resume so they can get a job, or advancement at their current employment. That’s interesting concept isn’t it?6.) Special Education Case Law Is Also Challenging the Budgets of School DistrictsThe rate of autism in children is skyrocketing and this is putting a huge burden on our K-12 schools. The question now is; what is appropriate education, and can those school districts afford one-on-one instruction? Many parents of autistic children say that’s the only way to do it, if they are to get it right. Parents of regular students say that their students also deserve one-on-one education especially when it comes to computer skills. Who’s right and who’s wrong? Well, they’re both right, the problem is we can’t afford it. What’s the answer?It appears that technology might be the answer, and one-on-one instruction for autistic children could be done with avatars. In fact, some autistic children learn quicker this way, and the avatar draws them out of themselves and helps them with their socialization, making learning much easier. What about for regular kids learning on the computer? Well, artificial intelligent avatar instruction is getting better at answering questions, even anticipating the questions that the student might have, helping them along making sure they understand everything as they go.Perhaps you doubt that the technology and artificial intelligence has come this far, well then, I suggest that you read a very interesting article in Smithsonian Magazine July-August 2012 issue by Bryan Christian which was titled; “Rise of the Chat Bots – Could You Be Fooled by a Computer Pretending to Be a Human? Probably.”There was an interesting article, an editorial in the Wall Street Journal on September 10, 2012; “More Isn’t Better for Special Ed,” which stated; “a new study shows how school districts can get better results,” meaning there are other ways to get all this done, but often it’s difficult when the parents are arguing, the school district is bathed in bureaucracy, and there is case law, lawyers, and federal mandates that are unworkable for any individual given student, teacher, parent, or school district. Do you see my point?7.) Is the Old Way of Teaching Going to Work in the New Paradigm of the Information Age?If you ask me, and I know you didn’t, but I’d say that the old way of teaching where kids sit in rows of desks facing forward looking at the back of a teacher writing on a chalkboard is simply not going to cut it in the future. These kids want to be entertained, and their attention span has dropped due to video games, TV, and computers. With all these electronic toys, gadgets, and mobile phones, they need constant stimulus. Not boring lectures, monotone speeches, or the old theory of depositing information into the brains of little humans through rote memorization, and constant testing. That isn’t working, and we all know it.The younger kids will learn faster if they are involved, for instance I’d like to recommend an article in the July-August issue of Smithsonian Magazine 2012 which was titled “Why Play Is Serious” by Allison Gopnic which stated “a leading researcher in the field of cognitive development says when children pretend, they’re not just being silly – they are doing science,” it also had a famous quote from Edmund Burke “The first and simplest emotion we discover in the human mind is; Curiosity.” And so, once again I’d like to point to technology to solve that problem.Engaging these children in virtual-reality should be the future of teaching. Not so much a participatory augmented reality gaming center at the school, but rather an immersion scenario while learning. Okay, but now we’re getting back to costs aren’t we? We already noted before that one school district, near me was floating a $41 million bond just to speed up the Internet service and provide iPads for the kids. Now I’m suggesting a full on virtual-reality in the classroom, is that right? Yes, that’s true. Now then, first we are going to have to address the legacy costs.8.) More Money for Schools Will Not Necessarily End Up in the Classroom My FriendWhat a lot of people don’t understand is that a good portion of the money spent in our schools does not go into the classroom. It goes for administrative costs, school bus fuel, transportation budgets, new buildings, air-conditioning, school meals, campus maintenance, and the biggest cost seems to be paying for all the teacher benefits, and legacy costs. Still, if we set up a virtual reality system, we could cut teacher costs and the cost for teacher aides.In colleges there’s no reason that those classrooms could not run 17 hours per day. At night they could be used to show movies like an IMAX, and during weekends they could be used for conferences. These classrooms could also be used for simulated training by corporations which were also school sponsors. They can also be used for research. We have to do something with the costs in our colleges.There was an interesting article in the USA Today on October 24, 2012 which was titled “College Costs Up – At Slower Rate,” by Mary Beth Marklein. The article had a graph which showed that college tuition costs were up by 6.5% in 2008-2009, 7% in 2009-2010, 8% in 2010-2011, 8.4% in 2011-2012, but only by 4.8% for this current school year 2012-2013. Still, this current school year we are at 4.8% in increased tuition costs, and that means we are right at 7% on average over that span between 2008 and now. That’s still too high, and it’s unsustainable.Okay so, let me ask you; “why do we need a professor” one who is giving the same lecture 2-times each year, that he’d given for the last 10-years? Why not just use a professor who is a hologram, pre-taped? And why not rent out that hologram to people at home in their living room virtual-reality gaming center? And wouldn’t it cost a lot less to set up a virtual reality gaming center in your own home, then it would be to send your kid off to college knowing that when they came back they’d be in debt for $100,000, or you’d be out that amount of money if you had to pay?Seriously, maybe we need to rethink the whole thing? Not only that but the students can learn at their own pace, if they wanted to do a marathon of lectures, they might be able to finish an entire course in a week. You might be laughing when I tell you that, but I can tell you when I was in college I did 33 credits in one semester, I went to two different colleges to merge the transcripts so they’d sync up. Today, I studied just as hard as I did when I was back in school, even though today I am retired. It’s not impossible, and our students and young people need to take responsibility for their future.Those who work harder will finish quicker and they will have the knowledge, education, and even feel as if they have the job skills because they learned in a virtual reality environment. What more do they need? Are we sending kids to school just to have a good time, keep them out of the job market, and spend money – propping up an old antiquated education institutional system which is no longer working for us, or are we going to get busy and get on with the 21st century? If something isn’t working, and you continue to do the same thing over and over again while expecting different results, we all know that to be the definition of insanity.Do you know what’s even more insane? $1 trillion in accumulated student debt in our society, kids graduating with $100,000 worth of student loans but no job, and no way to pay that money back, and rising tuition costs of over 7% per year. Folks that’s not working, it’s a bad joke. It’s one we need to take care of and do something about. These students don’t need more debt, they need more options, and we need to leverage our technology to make this happen. If we truly want to prepare our students for the future, we don’t need to educate them in the past, doing things the old way.Well, apparently my 30 minutes are up now (minus commercial breaks), and I’m done talking as we are at the top of the hour, and now it’s time for you to chime in, to bring some intellectual discourse to these arguments, and your educated opinion into this ongoing discourse.The rules as you know are quite simple; no preaching to the choir and no obvious talking points of opposition. In other words I don’t wish to rehash old arguments; we already know what they are. Rather, I wish to focus on fresh ideas. That’s your mission if you choose to accept it, now I will open up the call lines. If you are reading this radio show transcript in an online article you may post your comments and questions below. Okay, let’s take that call;”Caller 16, you are on the air. What questions, concerns, or innovative concepts do you have for the future of education?” </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://dinepacms.info/educational-think-tank-topics-for-radio-listeners-and-online-readers,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Searching For a Business For Sale?

This is an excellent option and the trend is gaining more and more popularity day by day. If you are looking for buying a business in Canada say in, Ontario, Toronto or surrounding regions, there are a lot of opportunities out there, waiting for your glance.The first step would be to get a relevant list of all existing businesses available for sale. It is not very tough to find a list of ‘for sale businesses’. You can find them online in quite a few websites which offer the facility of business brokerage. However, it is a difficult task to find a business which best suits you, and which would prove to be the most profitable for you in the long run.The whole process requires patience and perseverance from your task. Apart from being tedious and time consuming, finding the right business is challenging too. The process can be time consuming, costly and frustrating. Mentioned below are some things that you should keep in mind while you are in the process of navigating through the list of businesses available for sale:• Assess your interests, and search for a business which you think you would be able to run successfully. Make a detailed analysis of your resources and see what fits in. Keep the three Cs in mind: Cash, Credibility and Capability.• You should know that after you purchase a business you will be highly dependent on the seller or the previous owner of the business. Make sure that you establish healthy relations with the seller. You will need a lot of information, contacts and resources to run the firm successfully.

They both are currencies in one form or the other and are open for public use across the world. But they are both different and distinct in their own ways. There is always one group that favors the use of cryptos, while the other has a soft corner for the fiat currencies.</p><p>In cashless society- crypto money play a huge role</p><p>If you have a look at the market of the 1970s and 1980s, you will find that the cash played the dominant role. But, with the change in the technology, electronic transactions have become the usual norm. Today, more and more people are influenced in becoming the cashless society. With the progress towards the cashless society, cryptocurrencies have a big role to play.</p><p>Crypto currency and fiat currency are always at loggerheads</p><p>Cryptocurrency and fiat currency are popular types of digital currency, especially when it is about an online transaction. They both are currencies currently in use in the market but have some differences in them. There is a hell lot of hypes that you will hear on a daily basis comparing the crypto money and the fiat money. This article will highlight the difference between the two in a more comprehensive and clear manner.</p><p>Differentiating in what the currencies stand for</p><p>Before going for the difference between the two, you must understand what do they stand for and how are they are defined.</p><p>The fiat currency is a legal tender that has the support of the central government, and it operates in the physical form. For instance, US dollars, British Pounds, Euro etc. On the other hand, the crypto currency is a non-legal tender, and doesn’t have any backup from the central government or bank.<br />Hence, the difference between crypto currency and fiat currency is noted as follows:</p><p>• Crypto-currencies are decentralized and global in nature. There are no one entity or government that controls the currency with their laws and regulations. The Fiat currency is centralized, under the control of the laws and regulations of the banks and government.</p><p>• Crypto-currencies have their existence only in the digital domain. On the other hand, you will find that the fiat currencies have a tangible and physical existence.</p><p>• There is a limited supply of crypto-currencies with a maximum set of them getting supplied in the market. Whereas, the fiat money has an unlimited supply as the government and bank are entitled to produce coins and paper money whenever the situation is required.</p><p>• The Bitcoin and other crypto type currencies are created by the computers, while the fiat currencies are issued by the local government and the banks.</p><p>• Cryptocurrencies are presented as the public and private code pieces. On the other hand, the fiat currencies are presented in the form of coins and paper money.</p><p>• The value of the crypto currencies is not recognized by the supply and demand of the market. Whereas, the fiat currency value is determined by the market regulations of supply and demand.</p><p>The different types of crypto and fiat currencies</p><p>In the last one decade, the popularity of crypto type currencies has emerged as a huge success. It was in 2009, when Bitcoin was first introduced, and years after several other types of crypto currencies have emerged. Starting from Litecoin. Dogecoin, Ripple to the Dcash and Zcash, there is a plethora of them. On the other hand, the fiat currency has a rich and ancient roots, with the Great British Pound, that dates back to 775 AD. It is considered as the oldest currency in the world that is still in use.</p><p>The differences in the anonymity between the two currencies</p><p>When you are using the fiat currencies, you need to undergo a user identification or verification process. You are asked to upload a recent picture of yourself and some of the required documents to be issued as per the public authorities. You don’t need to undergo any of the required processes with the crypto currencies. Though your personal information and confidential details don’t get public, but all your transactions are recorded and tracked in both the fiat and the crypto currencies.</p><p>Fiat currency vs crypto currency: transparency level</p><p>• The transparency level with the crypto type currencies are considered to be more. This is because the revenue streams are displayed in a public chain. Everyone can witness their own and others’ transactions.</p><p>• The fiat or govt. currencies are not transparent, as there are not public chains to see the revenue streams of the people.</p><p>A comparative historical roots</p><p>If you compare the crypto money with that of its counterpart, fiat or government currency, you will find that their existence and creation brings the difference. The Fiat or government currency, dates back its existence as early as 775 AD with the introduction of the Great British Pound. This is why fiat type currency is easily accepted by the people all over.</p><p>On the other hand, the crypto coin was perhaps first introduced only a decade ago, with the introduction of Bitcoin in 2009. The challenge that the Bitcoin and other crypto currencies face is catching up with the immense popularity and increasing fan base of the fiat currency. Crypto currency, is no doubt gaining importance and popularity in the economic market, but it has still not been accepted widely in the society as the fiat currency.</p><p>A comparative history of the two currencies:</p><p>• It was in the 11th century, when the Chinese Song dynasty was perhaps the first one to issue the paper money. It was not allowed to exchange with valuables like gold and silver or silk.</p><p>• There were Tally sticks that were introduced as a fiat or government currency. 1100 Tally sticks were introduced as a combat for the shortages in gold.</p><p>• 1971, was the year, when the fiat currency received a worldwide recognition. President Nixon introduced it in order to eliminate the dollar pegging system to gold.</p><p>• It was in 1998, when the idea of an anonymous electronic cash system emerged by Wei Dai. Bitgold-the very first crypto currency was created by Nick Szabo, but it didn’t receive as much attention as Bitcoin.</p><p>• In 2009, Bitcoin was introduced in the market, that became the first crypto currency that was accepted across the globe. In 2011 and after, a series of several other crypto currencies were introduced. Some of the popular ones include, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Zcash, Dash and so on.</p><p>The traits of both the currencies</p><p>The potential of the crypto type currencies and fiat currencies, accessing their traits is important. You will find that in some of the criteria, Bitcoin and other crypto currency is superior than the fiat or government currency, and in some cases, the latter surpasses. It is absolutely your call to choose the type of currency (crypto type currency or fiat type currency) based on your personal needs and requirements.</p><p>Let us compare their traits with respect to certain factors.</p><p>• Both the crypto coins and fiat type currencies are interchangeable in nature.</p><p>• As per the portability is concerned both the currencies secure more or less the same position.</p><p>• With respect to the non consumable criteria, crypto currency and fiat type currency have the equal status.</p><p>• Crypto type currencies have high durability as compared to the fiat-currencies that have moderate level of durability.</p><p>• Both the crypto or virtual currencies and the fiat or government currencies ensure secure and safeguarded transactions and exchange.</p><p>• Crypto or digital currencies are highly divisible in nature. On the other hand, the fiat type currencies are moderately divisible.</p><p>• In terms of the transaction process, the crypto currencies are easy and hassle free. Whereas, on the other hand, the traction process associated with the fiat currencies are easy, but not like the cryptos.</p><p>• The crypto based currencies are decentralized and global in nature, unlike the fiat currencies that are centralized and functions under the laws and regulations of the government.</p><p>• The crypto based currencies have high scarcity, where as, the fiat currencies are unlimited as the government can issue coins and paper money whenever there is a need.</p><p>• The crypto based currencies are based on mathematical algorithms, and are programmable. The fiat currencies are not at all programmable.</p><p>• The fiat currencies are sovereign in nature, while the crypto currencies are not.</p><p>The process of the functioning of the currencies</p><p>You can find the significant differences between the crypto or digital currencies and the fiat currencies with the way they both operate and the transaction process that take place. They are contrasting in nature. The transfer of money using the Bitcoin is very quick, and you absolutely don’t need any third party association.</p><p>On the other hand, if you are involved with the money exchange using Fiat type currency, a mobile wallet is in use. You can exchange an amount of e-money that gets transferred into the equal e-value amount. Both the fiat and the crypto currencies enable you to purchase everything that you desire. But the processes involved are absolutely distinct from each other.</p><p>Depending on the things you purchase, you will find that one currency form is better than the other. This is absolutely your choice.</p><p>Is Bitcoin, a crypto currency better than the fiat-currency?</p><p>The long term benefits and the capability of the Bitcoins is still not established. But it has been predicted by the crypto currency gurus and experts, that they will go a long way, especially revolutionizing the way the online transactions are done. In the current market, the Bitcoin is mainly included in the online casinos and the gambling, but it is not limited to it.</p><p>Furthermore, when you compare the fiat currencies, the Bitcoin allows you to seize the power and authority from the banks and the government since it is not controlled. The cryptography based currency has the capability to create or come up with the free market capitals. Fiat currencies are affected by the inflation and the changes in the market, unlike the crypto based currencies. Such aspects make individuals believe that cryptograph based currencies will soon take over the mainstream currencies and bring a transformation in the way the money is used.</p><p>Why is Bitcoins considered to be a better aspect than the fiat type currencies?</p><p>• Bitcoin gives you the opportunity to re-create a free market capitalism.</p><p>• The power of controlling the money is absolutely with the individuals, and not with the banks like the fiat type currencies.</p><p>• When there is an inflation, the Bitcoin is not affected. But the Fiat type currency will be easier to lose and get affected by it.</p><p>• The Bitcoin currency is easy easier to exchange and transfer as compared to the fiat or government currencies.</p><p>• The transaction fees involved with the Bitcoin are way cheaper and easily affordable.</p><p>Crypto currencies seem to be a favorable option among the people</p><p>The fiat type currencies are the centralized and legal way of exchanging money. But, the crypto currencies have acquired immense popularity in the past few years. There will never be anyone who would act as a middle man, like the case with the banks. Moreover, the cryptos are way cheaper and less expensive that the conventional fiat currencies.</p><p>Send money anywhere directly without waiting for the bank’s approval</p><p>You can send money to anyone in the world directly, and it is super fast. The money gets cleared within a few minutes time. You don’t have to wait for the traditional clearing and verification processes of the banking systems, which might take up to several days to get a clearance. Since it is decentralized and doesn’t come under the law and regulations of the government, nobody has any power to do anything with your account.</p><p>The blockchain technology has a very big role to play</p><p>Thanks to the crypto currencies, that gives us the power and the authority to become our very own bank, and take control over our finances. It is because of the blockchain technology that offers a higher level of sophistication while dealing with the finances. In fact, there are some mainstream financial industries that have started incorporating the idea of the technology.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://dinepacms.info/crypto-currency-vs-fiat-currency,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Are You Choosing the Right Stock Market Advisory Company</title> <link>https://dinepacms.info/are-you-choosing-the-right-stock-market-advisory-company,html</link> <comments>https://dinepacms.info/are-you-choosing-the-right-stock-market-advisory-company,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Sep 2022 10:35:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[financial]]></category> <category><![CDATA[help you]]></category> <category><![CDATA[planners]]></category> <category><![CDATA[point]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://dinepacms.info/?p=46</guid> <description><![CDATA[What do you do if you want to learn driving a car?

You do not want to avail the services of a novice individual to help you out, but a professional person can provide you the vital tips and most importantly guide you efficiently. Similarly, when it comes to investing in the stock market for the first time, you require a knowledgeable advice to attain your financial goals and get profitable returns.</p><p>If you are a beginner, then it is quite obvious that you may be having no information about the process of buying the right shares in the market. In such a situation, getting the right tips from an experienced financial advisor or a registered advisory company will truly prove to be a great blessing in disguise. However, there are some of the important things that have to be kept in mind while choosing the top stock market advisory company, which are as follows:</p><p>How much assistance do you actually require?</p><p>Before you make up your mind to hire an advisor, it is imperative that you must first decide about the kind of service you require from them. You may need their help at the beginning or during the time of any issues. This is because an advisor has to formulate a map according to your requirements. Hence, it is suggested to ascertain your needs first and then take further action.</p><p>Choose a top ranked advisory company</p><p>It is a very important point that has to be taken into the consideration. Availing services of the well known advisory company or a financial advisor is an absolute necessity. Make it a point to carry out a proper background or research work about the company. Check out their credentials, reputation, experience, etc before hiring them.</p><p>Asking for a sample financial plan initially makes sense</p><p>When hiring a financial advisor, then do not forget to ask for sample plan first. It is imperative to note that there is no such thing called the perfect plan. A sample plan will help you to determine whether an advisory company is actually making sense according your requirements or not.</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>The financial planners or advisory companies can really turn out to be the greatest asset for you if you choose the best one. They are just like the professional sailors who can help you out to sail through stock investment related problems quite efficiently.</p><p>Deepak is a financial advisor who likes to provide quality tips to the people facing any issues with regard to investing in the stock market. He likes to keep himself updated about the stock market by reading articles, news and blogs, etc.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://dinepacms.info/are-you-choosing-the-right-stock-market-advisory-company,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Fear and Greed in the Market</title> <link>https://dinepacms.info/fear-and-greed-in-the-market,html</link> <comments>https://dinepacms.info/fear-and-greed-in-the-market,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Sep 2022 10:33:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[company]]></category> <category><![CDATA[indicators]]></category> <category><![CDATA[investors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Market]]></category> <category><![CDATA[technical]]></category> <category><![CDATA[trading]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://dinepacms.info/?p=44</guid> <description><![CDATA[Greed and Fear.

Both fear and greed refer to an intrinsic emotional state. Tens of Millions of dollars have been made and lost based on these 2 emotions alone. In trading, in business and in relationships. So why do so many educational courses, stock trading books and online courses avoid this topic all together?</p><p>Perhaps they are not avoiding the topic of emotions, Perhaps by teaching certain methods and skill sets to their readers they are in fact dealing with the emotional side of trading head on!</p><p>It is well known that emotions create a certain amount of pleasure or displeasure. It is also known that emotions are networked with mood, frame of mind, desires and passions. The list goes on… So how do we as individuals develop a skill set to navigate these emotions in business in trading and in life?</p><p>Charles Darwin argued that emotions actually served a purpose for humans and rightfully so, If our emotions have been evolving for over 2 million years. Should we not be using these amazing skills to our advantage rather than placing blame on them for poor decision making? It is my belief the poor decision making has nothing to do with emotions and everything to do with laziness and lack of planning.</p><p>A Lesson From One of the Greats!</p><p>I would be doing my readers a disservice if we did not mention the strategy of Warren Buffett. One of the most successful investors of our time. Warren Buffet stuck to his strategy and profited greatly. Warren Buffett showed us just how important and beneficial it is to stick to a plan. When deciding whether or not to invest in a company himself, Buffett and his partners follow a few simple guidelines, one of which involves trying to determine the company’s longevity.</p><p>As the market becomes overwhelmed with greed, the same can happen with fear. When stocks suffer large losses for a sustained period of time, the overall market can become more fearful of sustaining even further losses. But being too fearful can be a grave mistake. It is precisely at this time successful investors and traders alike make their move. This is where the real money is made.</p><p>Just as greed dominated the recent Cryptocurrency boom or fear dominates the headlines on potential trade war outcomes, investors quickly move around from one “secure” investment to another. It becomes a constant game of cat and mouse.</p><p>This flooding in of money to the stock market shows a complete disregard for many technical indicators that continue to scream a correction is inescapable. Retail Investors seem overjoyed with the flooding in of headlines that read ALL TIME HIGH. Should retail investors be overrun by fear of a major correction?. Granted, losing a large portion of your retirement portfolio’s worth is a tough pill to swallow, but even harder to digest is the possibility of missing out on the massive gains the market is currently offering investors of all experience levels.</p><p>Having a clear understanding of my own personal goals, a understanding of my success and creating a list of my OWN wants and needs rather than taking dreams of others and trying to reach them has been a colossal factor in putting out the greed flame in my own trading and daily decision-making.</p><p>I have also added a link of “Must Read” Books that have been advantageous in my journey of reigning in my emotions on decision-making. I will update this as I see fit..</p><p>One method I have found to be helpful is to be careful on how I measure success, wealth, goals and most importantly happiness. It is far to easy these days to allow outside influences affect our happiness and success. Social media blasts us day in and day out with the success of others.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://dinepacms.info/fear-and-greed-in-the-market,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>5 Areas Where Interest Rates Matter!</title> <link>https://dinepacms.info/5-areas-where-interest-rates-matter,html</link> <comments>https://dinepacms.info/5-areas-where-interest-rates-matter,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Sep 2022 10:32:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[buyer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[government]]></category> <category><![CDATA[politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pricing]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://dinepacms.info/?p=41</guid> <description><![CDATA[Although, we hear, a lot of opinions, about, interest rates, and their trends, and impacts, very few people seem to understand, the significance, and importance/ relevance, of these rates, in several areas of our lives!

After, many decades of involvement, in political campaigns, leadership, leadership training/ planning, real estate, financial sales and consulting, etc, I strongly believed, one benefits, by understanding, more about these, and how they affect, many things, in our lives! Whether, related to personal, organizational, and/ or, public finance/ spending, home ownership and related costs, credit – related issues, business matters, stock and bond pricing, etc, interest rates, truly, significantly, matter! With, that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 5 of these areas, and how the cost – of – money, makes a significant difference.</p><p>1. Bond prices and interest rates: The price of a bond, generally, is inversely – related to interest rates! When these rates go down, prices, rise, and when they go up, the inverse occurs! Bonds have, what is known, as, a par – value, which is the price, paid, at the end of the term. Markets usually set these at 100, which represents $1,000 per bond, at maturity. However, during the period, the pricing can rise or fall, which impacts, liquidity – related issues!</p><p>2. Mortgage rates: For the last few years, we have been witnessing and experiencing, record – low, mortgage interest rates, which have helped the overall, real estate/ housing market, especially, in terms of, pricing increases! In most areas of this country, we are seeing, home prices, at their highest levels, ever, by a significant, dramatic amount! When this rate, is low, a home buyer is able to buy, more – house – for – his – bucks, because, his monthly payments, are so low! Consider, however, what might be the potential ramifications, and impacts, when these rates, will, inevitably, rise?</p><p>3. Consumer credit: Low costs of borrowing, help the automobile industry, in terms of consumer financing, etc! Although, not as much as other vehicles, rates on credit card debt, are lower, and there are often, shorter – term, promotions, offering deals! However, since, most of these are variable, and based, on some index, etc, what happens, when there is an increase, in this?</p><p>4. Business borrowing: Another area affected, is business cost of borrowing! Presently, they have had access, to relatively, cheap – money, which helps in reducing the costs of borrowing, overall operations, purchasing inventory, etc. But, what happens, when this, ticks – up?</p><p>5. Impacts on stock market prices: For some time, because bonds have paid so little, in terms of dividends, etc, many have considered, the stock market, the only game, in – town! In addition, many corporations, have seemed, better – off, than they probably are, and we have witnessed, a higher, ratio of prices to profits, than in the past! How long will this last? How high can it go?</p><p>Many factors impact these issues, especially: actual and/ or, perceived inflation; consumer confidence; politics/ government actions/ the Federal Reserve, etc. The more you know, and understand, hopefully, the better – prepared, you will be!</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://dinepacms.info/5-areas-where-interest-rates-matter,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to Utilize Colors strategically in website design</title> <link>https://dinepacms.info/how-to-utilize-colors-strategically-in-website-design,html</link> <comments>https://dinepacms.info/how-to-utilize-colors-strategically-in-website-design,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Sep 2022 10:30:38 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Computers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Technology]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://dinepacms.info/?p=29</guid> <description><![CDATA[Color can be a powerful tool for website design.

It can draw attention, convey emotion, inspire an atmosphere of desire, or directing conversation all these and more are accomplished through the clever and well-planned application of color. Similar to layouts and style of your words the color visitors will see on your website will determine the way they feel about it and whether or whether they’ll return.</p><p>What makes color important for Website Design</p><p>Colors can increase the visibility of your brand and can also entice visitors to your website to engage.

This is the initial step to choosing the right colors for the design of your website.</p><p>Color Psychology – colors trigger emotions<br />Psychology of color is the term used to describe the impact that color can influence a person’s feelings behaviours, feelings, and moods. Although the rules are not fixed in stone, we are drawn to certain colors because they affect our feelings. The context here is crucial. Red could mean fear and risk to certain people, but enthusiasm and passion to other people. When using colors in web design, it should blend seamlessly with aspects of the website including copy, typography, and images.</p><p>Below are some colors and the emotions they bring. While they aren’t fixed in stone, these are generalizations and can have an impact on the people who are watching. This will help you determine the color of your choice in accordance with how you would like your viewers to feel and the actions you would like them to do.</p><p>• Red Power, Love passion, danger exhilaration</p><p>• Orange: fun, warmth, comfort, freedom, playfulness</p><p>• White Peace, Clarity pure, purity, and cleanliness</p><p>• Blue: calm, confidence peace, trust and logic, as well as reliability</p><p>• Purple: luxury, sophistication, mystery, loyalty, creativity</p><p>• Pink: gentleness, sincerity, nurturing, warmth</p><p>• Green: health, nature, prosperity, abundance</p><p>• Brown nature protection, security, support</p><p>• Yellow: happiness, creativity, optimism, friendliness</p><p>• The Black: class, control power, sophistication and depression</p><p>Cultural Context<br />While various colors could have different meanings for individuals, colors can are also associated with cultural significance. In many Western countries, it is believed that black symbolizes mourning and death, while the same color is used in a variety of Eastern nations.</p><p>The color Red is thought to be associated with focus and pressure in Western culture, while many Eastern cultures believe it is associated with luck. It is important to consider the context when making a selection of colors. Most of the time, you’ll prefer to select the colors of your company based on the audience you want to reach. Based on the location where your market is located the colors displayed on your site could convey significant messages in different ways.</p><p>However, it’s not always the case particularly when it comes to massive and well-known brands that have images already embedded in our consciousness. The red color of Coca-Cola or KFC, for example, will typically have no negative associations anymore, considering the extent to which well-known and loved they are.</p><p>The Basics of Color Theory</p><p>Theory of Color is an established set of rules that can be helpful in understanding and creating complementary colors and combinations. These basic principles can assist you in creating a color colour scheme that is appropriate to your company’s specific requirements.</p><p>Primary Colors: They are three in total – blue, red and yellow.</p><p>Secondary Colors: These colors are created using primary color combinations like the green (yellow and blue) and orange (yellow and red) along with purple (blue plus red).</p><p>Tertiary Colors: These are colors made by mixing primary with secondary color.</p><p>Shades, Tints Tones: The colors listed above are referred to by some as “pure shades”. But, these colors can be used to create other colors. Tints are created by adding white to pure colors, which makes them less intense and lighter. Shades are created by adding a lack and making them heavier and more powerful. It is possible to use white and black in different levels to create tones using pure hues.</p><p>Contrast: Contrast is the perception of the difference between two hues when put next to each other. The greater the contrast, the more the two colours stand out from one another. This is a crucial idea since different levels of contrast can make an entirely different look to your site. A text that is colored and placed with a background that is low in contrast could cause issues with reading. Contrast may also make certain elements stand out (or even deflect attention from particular elements when used effectively) in your website and can make them stand out visually.</p><p>Color Models</p><p>When designing graphic designs, color is defined using color models. This is due to the fact that it is possible to find millions of different colors and it’s impossible to list every single one. The standards were developed to allow us to easily define colors by using numbers.</p><p>RGB Model: The model that is used when working with designs on the screen. RGB refers to Red as well as Green and Blue. The three colors are assigned a value of zero to 255, and the different combinations give us different shades. The colors are typically displayed as color codes, six-digit hexadecimal code numbers. It’s an “additive” color model.</p><p>CMYK Model: This model is utilized to print for printing purposes. It is a combination of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black Each color is described using its proportion of these colors. It is a “subtractive” colour model.</p><p>the LAB Model: The word LAB means lightness, A channel as well as B channel. It’s a more complicated model. It includes the lightness factor, which is a range of zero to 100, an A component that is located on the red-green axis, and a B component that is located on the blue and yellow axis. This means that the color description is more akin to human perception when compared to RGB and CMYK models.</p><p>Making Color Palettes</p><p>The first color you select for your website is the primary color of your company’s branding (Red is the color of Coca Cola, for example).

After all, who says you can only celebrate during the holidays? If you’re looking to host a dinner party that will be remembered long after the last dish is cleared, read on for our top 8 tips:</p><p>Set the mood with music and lighting: The right playlist can set the tone for your party. Make sure to have a few fast-paced songs to get your guests dancing and some slower tunes for when things start to wind down. And don’t forget the candles! Nothing says ‘romantic dinner party’ quite like a few flickering flames.</p><p>Serve up something unexpected: Sure, you could just stick to the classics like roast chicken or steak.

From our famous pho noodle soup platters to our unique take on Pad Thai platter, fried or fresh rolls, there is always something we can whip up that will tantalize your taste buds.</p><p>Get everyone involved: A dinner party is a perfect opportunity to get your friends and family involved in the fun! Ask each guest to bring their favourite bottle of wine or their go-to dessert recipe. Not only will this make your job as a host a lot easier, but it’ll also make for a more enjoyable evening for everyone.</p><p>Keep the conversation flowing: One of the keys to a successful dinner party is keeping the conversation flowing. To do this, make sure to have some icebreaker questions on hand to help get things started. And if there are any awkward silences, simply fill them with stories about your recent travels or that new show you’re binge-watching.</p><p>Plan ahead: The last thing you want is to be scrambling around at the last minute, trying to get everything ready. To avoid this, make sure to plan and get organized. This way, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the party along with your guests.</p><p>Make it personal: A dinner party is perfect for showing off your unique style and personality. So don’t be afraid to let your creativity shine through! Whether it’s the food you serve, the music you play, or the decorations you choose, make sure everything reflects who you are as a host.</p><p>Keep it simple: One of the biggest mistakes people make when hosting a dinner party is trying to do too much. Instead of going overboard, focus on keeping things simple. This way, you’ll be less likely to get stressed out, and your guests will have a more enjoyable evening.</p><p>Have fun!: Last but not least, don’t forget to have fun! After all, that’s what a dinner party is all about. So kick back, relax, and enjoy the evening with your friends and family.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://dinepacms.info/8-tips-on-hosting-the-best-dinner-party-in-toronto,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
