Let’s get something very clear right from the start of this article: you can’t afford not to invest. If you don’t start putting aside a good portion (at least 10%) of your earnings into investments – if you don’t start building a portfolio for yourself – you’ll find yourself in a very precarious financial position as you approach your declining years. When you’re facing the day you can no longer work as much or you’d just like to retire, and you realize you can’t afford to retire comfortably, you’ll wish you’d thought ahead a bit better and planned for such a day by investing when you were younger.Educate Yourself – That said, it helps to know something about investing, even if you have an automatic retirement account, a financial planner, or savvy assistance from friends. To inform yourself, talk to some successful investors, read books and articles, and watch some videos. Try starting with Eric Tyson’s Investing. Of course, there’s an enormous amount of help online. Try Charles Schwab, Merrill-Lynch, CNN Money, Ameritrade, or Etrade. They all have terrific websites with a wealth of information. You could also take a class at the local college or go to a live financial planning seminar. There’s also a good non-profit organization called the American Association of Individual Investors which offers educational materials and holds seminars on various topics.Formulate an Investment Strategy – Just as with anything else, a plan will increase your chances of success. Take stock of your assets, income, short-term goals, and long-term financial destination. As I said earlier, you should invest a minimum of 10% of your income – a lot more if you’re able. So think about it: how much money do you have and how much can you put aside? What do you want your investment portfolio to do for you? Help you retire at 55, 60, 65? Or provide you with additional income as soon as possible? Exactly what do you want to accomplish with your money? After you come up with answer to those questions, you’ll be better able to select the right investments and the right combination of assets to meet your financial goals.Questions to Ask Yourself:<br />How much money can you invest right now?<br />Do you have any outstanding debts?<br />Are you planning on purchasing any large ticket items?<br />What’s the total amount of your monthly bills?<br />Do you have a retirement or registered pension plan?<br />Will you be inheriting any money?<br />How much instant cash do you want to have at your disposal for emergencies?<br />Whether you have a financial adviser or not, you need to be clear about those issues before formalizing your investment plan.Investment Basics: All investments have three basic ingredients: Expected Return, Risk and Marketability.Expected Return is the amount of interest, dividends or capital gains that you expect to earn from your investment. The higher the expected return, the greater the risk.Risk is the chance you take that you could lose some or all of your investment, or that you could earn less return than you expected. Lower risk investments include government treasury bills and savings bonds. Higher risk investments are stocks and futures. Mutual funds vary widely in risk. Your tolerance for risk depends on your overall financial position, how much time you have to endure periodic fluctuations in your investments’ value, and how well you deal with the likely anxiety and stress you’ll feel if your portfolio takes a turn for the worse.Marketability or liquidity refers to how quickly your investment can be converted to cash. Term deposits are not liquid, since you usually can’t withdraw your money before the end of the term. Mutual funds, however, are very liquid because you can quickly sell them on short notice for little cost.Stocks – Buying shares or stocks in companies traded on the NYSE or NASDAQ have historically outperformed all other investments over the long term. You can make a killing and become wealthy by trading on the stock market. However, stocks can also bankrupt you if you don’t know what you’re doing, or even if you do. Playing the stock market is not for the feint of heart. The risk is great, but so is the return if you play it smart. The greatest factor in determining stock prices is the company’s earnings. Be prepared to watch your stock go up and down, fluctuating over hurricanes, gas prices, wars, and even presidential elections. It’s the long-term growth of the company that matters. Here’s an encouraging fact: since World War II, an estimated 90% of the stock market’s gain has come from profit growth. As profits accumulate, prices rise, regardless of what’s happened on any given day, month, or year.U.S. Treasury Bonds – Do you want a sure thing? These are as close as you’re going to get because almost everyone agrees that the U.S. government is unlikely ever to default on its bonds. The government can always print more money to pay them off if necessary. As a result, the Treasury’s interest rate is considered a risk-free rate.Mutual Funds – A fund is basically a corporation that collects and invests money. You join a pool by buying shares in the fund. Pooling your money together with other investors gives you more power to invest. Also, your money enjoys the advantage of being invested by a team of professional money managers who research bonds, stocks, and assets, placing the pool of money as smartly as possible. Investing your funds in several different places reduces your risk of being hurt by any single bad investment. The fund managers charge an annual fee from.5- 2.5% of assets, plus expenses. For that fee, you buy into the collective wisdom of a team of professional money people, along with attaining instant diversification.Diversify Whatever you decide – to do it yourself, hire a professional, or go with mutual funds – you need to diversify – to place your money in several different investments. That will lessen your risk of being wiped out if things go badly for you.It All Adds Up – Don’t postpone investing because you feel you haven’t enough money to make it worth your while. Here’s what investing only $100 a month adds up to in time at 8% interest:- $12,000 invested over 10 years equals $18,294.- $24,000 invested over 20 years equals $58,902.- $36,000 invested over 30 years equals $149,035.Wow. Now think what kind of money you can make if you double or triple your investment and if the interest rate is greater, such as with the return on savvy stock buys or mutual fund allocations. Do your homework, take the risk, and get in the game! </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://drbdzms.info/investing-and-educating-yourself,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Vacuum Formed Plastics and ABS Plastic Fabrications For Aircraft Cabin Interior Components</title> <link>https://drbdzms.info/vacuum-formed-plastics-and-abs-plastic-fabrications-for-aircraft-cabin-interior-components,html</link> <comments>https://drbdzms.info/vacuum-formed-plastics-and-abs-plastic-fabrications-for-aircraft-cabin-interior-components,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 18 Apr 2023 05:56:44 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Aerospace & Defense]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://drbdzms.info/?p=72</guid> <description><![CDATA[Aerospace plastic thermoforming.ABS plastic fabrications can be both injection mouldings and plastic extrusions.

High definition components plastic thermoforming is often in ABS, an excellent choice for for use in alloys and blends.Their unabbreviated name is Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrenes. Medium-impact grades are used in videocassettes, televisions, and audiovisual equipment. Computer housings, modems, office systems equipment, and microfloppy disks are made with medium and high-impact grades, flame-retardant grades, and ABS-PVC and ABS-PC alloys.In recreational vehicles, high-impact grades meet engineering requirements for dimensional stability, creep resistance, modulus, and strength, for applications such as countertops, sinks, and tub surrounds. Flame-retardant grades and ABS PVC alloys are used in roof-mounted air conditioning unit shrouds when warranted by electrical requirements. These qualities do make ABS suitable in aircraft. Technical thermoforming produces aircraft seat components and cabin interior components to FAR-JAR-OSU specifications.Important factors in these applications are abuse resistance, retention of properties at low temperatures, and chemical resistance. There is also a use of extrusion grades in thermoformed sheet applications such as hot tubs and spas and basins.New ABS aerospace grades are continually being developed to meet the needs of emerging applications. In addition, new grades engineered to better meet the needs of existing ABS applications frequently replace other ABS grades. ABS alloy technology is increasingly being used to develop applications that were previously thought to be inaccessible, like various gears and impellers.Vacuum formed plastics that are competitive materials.There are resins that compete with ABS and can be grouped by performance. For the high-impact grades of ABS, PC and filled polypropylene (PP) are candidate competitors. Modified polyphenylene oxide (PPO) competes in the high-heat and high-impact areas. Aerospace acrylics compete with standard ABS grades because of their excellent appearance, and it competes with clear ABS because of its excellent clarity and good color. High-impact polystyrene (HIPS) has excellent processibility and competes with the lower impact end of the ABS spectrum, although it is very deficient in chemical resistance and appearance. In fact, none of these resins offers the overall balance of properties found in the ABS family for vacuum formed plastics and high definition components.Family CharacteristicsCompared to many other engineering thermoplastics, ABS offers superior processibility and appearance as well as low cost, along with a good balance of engineering properties, including low creep, good dimensional stability, and high strength and rigidity. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://drbdzms.info/vacuum-formed-plastics-and-abs-plastic-fabrications-for-aircraft-cabin-interior-components,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Industrial Aerospace Greases – Understanding Lubricants</title> <link>https://drbdzms.info/industrial-aerospace-greases-understanding-lubricants,html</link> <comments>https://drbdzms.info/industrial-aerospace-greases-understanding-lubricants,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 17 Apr 2023 20:33:38 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Aerospace & Defense]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://drbdzms.info/?p=69</guid> <description><![CDATA[There are a variety of industrial aerospace greases available on the market that provide good lubrication, are thermally stable, non-flammable and have low toxicity and low volatility.The European Space Agency has met the challenges of industrial aerospace greases and the changing needs in the industry.

As further, more, colder and warmer planets are explored in our solar system, the basics of industrial aerospace greases are challenged for lubrication and hydraulic systems in machines used in space. These challenges were met with an increasing awareness for the need for industrial aerospace greases that could out-perform those that came before them.Not only do engineers and manufacturers have to worry about temperature increases but also decreases. The industrial aerospace greases have to be able to withstand a wide variety of temperatures, from well below zero to well above 600 degrees and higher. The temperature fluctuations in space and on earth can be different by hundreds of degrees–and the grease that the engineers use on the machinery has to be able to withstand the changes in environment. Not only is temperature an issue, but vacuum conditions that range in the high end as well as high speed and heavy loads also impact the performance of the industrial aerospace greases.The European Space Agency is located at the European Space and Technology Center, or ESTEC in the Netherlands. This broad organization is responsible for space missions from start to finish, from research and feasibility planning of an idea and then working it out with the space industry. Within this process, the ESTEC and ESA put their heads together regarding the aerospace grease that will be required for the mission. There are many industrial aerospace greases available on the market already that have been proven to withstand the temperature, vacuum and weight issues that deal with space and air travel and ESTEC looks deeply at each of them to find out which one will best suit their needs for any particular mission.In the aerospace industry that deals with ‘earth-travel’, for example airplanes and helicopters, industrial aerospace greases are also used within the planes and helicopters. Airplanes also have similar issues with heat build up and temperature change from warm to cold as well as friction and weight liabilities. The engineers in the aerospace industry for world travel also have to look at the effect the industrial aerospace grease has in applications for commercial, passenger and military flights around the world.The temperature in an airplane engine can reach staggering proportions. The engines are left to heat slowly, but really, the temperature change in the engines is quite rapid compared to what we would consider ‘slow’. As the temperature in an engine and throughout the mechanics of an airplane heat up, the industrial aerospace grease must react accordingly so that it maintains its protective barrier in the mechanics as well as viscosity. The industry for industrial aerospace greases is wide and the application for the products broad ranged. Creating the greases to withstand all the elements known and unknown is a difficult task. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://drbdzms.info/industrial-aerospace-greases-understanding-lubricants,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Social Commerce – The Shift to Social Media Shopping</title> <link>https://drbdzms.info/social-commerce-the-shift-to-social-media-shopping,html</link> <comments>https://drbdzms.info/social-commerce-the-shift-to-social-media-shopping,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Apr 2023 17:28:42 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[E-Commerce]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://drbdzms.info/?p=67</guid> <description><![CDATA[Social Commerce – The Evolution Social commerce is different from traditional e-commerce, or more of an extension of e-commerce.

Social commerce basically makes use of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. The method that is employed in this type of commerce is rather simple in its essence. Business owners or people who are related to sales use these sites to interact with the potential and existing customers. They make use of several techniques to encourage online selling of their product or service. To simplify the concept, one can say that when e-commerce is conducted using social media sites, it is termed as social commerce. But what differentiates social commerce from e-commerce is commerce through social media evolves from a relationship basis where e-commerce is more transactional.Social Commerce = Opportunity<br />There is a growing trend among businesses to use social media for commerce to increase their sales. This is without doubt a great opportunity for businesses. The system of social commerce is based upon interaction. This gives a business much better chance of increasing sales because through these sites they are actually able to convey their message and motto to their customers.The question that now arises is what is the point of social e-commerce? Using these sites a business can create a platform where potential customers can get advice from other people. There are many products and services that are for sale today and this very large variety can be a source of confusion for the customer who can’t decide whether to go for the product or not. Using social media, the business creates an environment where the existing customers serve as an important tool in convincing the potential customers to buy the product there and then.Relationships Matter in Social Commerce<br />This is done through a series of product recommendation and building relationships though customer interaction, after all social media drives relationships which breeds trust which enable social commerce. Using sites like Facebook and Twitter the business sets up its product or service for reviews or ratings. Through this system it is able to generate feedback about its products and this in turn serves as ‘trusted’ advice to the new client. When the client sees that other people are making use of product/service and are benefiting from it, they are encouraged to buy the product. Since commerce through social media is an extension of e-commerce, the product can be bought online.Facebook Commerce<br />When it comes to Facebook commerce or commerce through other sites, the product is sold using these sites. There is the facility of shopping carts available that allows the customer to buy the product there and then from the site without having to visit any other site. Facebook for instance uses Facebook Open Graph that allows the trade of goods to be carried on using Facebook. To help businesses, the site has also introduced tools such as I frames that allow businesses to learn more about their clients. Although the idea of social commerce is relatively new, there are many businesses that are currently making use of this service, and are benefiting from it. There are more firms that are taking up this concept and from the looks of it social commerce is going to get more developed as firms come to realize the fact that it has a lot of scope and potential. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://drbdzms.info/social-commerce-the-shift-to-social-media-shopping,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>S Corporation Or LLC?

That’s when the decision to incorporate comes into play. There are options for business owners, and all have advantages and disadvantages. The next step for many sole proprietorships is either creating a Limited Liability Company, or LLC, or an S Corporation.Both:–Limit the liability or the owners and/or shareholders. They allow the business and its assets to be liable and not the owners’ and shareholders’ personal property.<br />–Have tax advantages. In most cases, LLCs and S Corporation avoid the double taxation of C Corporations. LLCs and S Corporations pay personal income tax based on the company’s profits and the corporation itself does not. In C Corporation, shareholders are taxed on profits and the corporation also pays the IRS.<br />This is where the similarities end.Differences:–LLCs are extremely flexible and less formal than a corporation. For example, no annual meeting or meeting minutes are required for an LLC in most cases, but a corporation must submit its annual meeting minutes to the secretary of state.<br />—In an LLC, the day-to-day operations are more like a sole proprietorship. In a corporation, a board of directors or officers has ultimate control of the company.<br />—LLCs must pay self employment tax based on net income, while an S Corporation pays tax only on actual salary.<br />—S Corporations require far more paperwork and government oversight than an LLC.<br />—LLCs can distribute profits in any manner it wants. For example, even if ownership of the LLC is 60/40, profits may be distributed 50/50 or 70/30 or any combination. S Corporations must distribute profit based on shareholder percentages. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://drbdzms.info/s-corporation-or-llc-which-works-best-for-you,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>First Line Manager: Understanding Vested Interest</title> <link>https://drbdzms.info/first-line-manager-understanding-vested-interest,html</link> <comments>https://drbdzms.info/first-line-manager-understanding-vested-interest,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 20:25:39 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[management]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://drbdzms.info/?p=63</guid> <description><![CDATA[Vested interest exists.

Or, there are groups that seek to support or control an existing system or activity from which they derive private benefit.A first line manager’s vested interest are in their functional area goals. A first line manager’s external business environment is also important. Effective first line managers must support a balance between their and others’ vested interest. A first line manager is like a fish in water; the fish contains water and is in water. There is internal business vested interests and external business vested interests. Let us consider these interests.First consider, a business’s internal interest and the manager’s role in each. There are two types of first line managers; functional line managers and general managers. I was a functional line manager as a restaurant manager, an accounting manager, and a territory sales manager, in these roles, my success was dedicated to that function. I was a general manager of hotels and a Business Office Manager; in these roles, my interest was in accomplishing all the functional goals of the organization.Functional first line mangers have to make sure their area of responsibility is accomplishing the assigned departmental goals. A functional manager’s is a success if their departmental goals are accomplished. Managers that are removed of not successful. Acceptable managers goals are within the acceptable range. Managers that consistency exceed their goals are considered for higher management. They are top performers. Here is the rub, functional managers must maintain a delicate balance between their department’s interest and other department’s vested interest.As a District Accounting Manager I approved the credit on sales contracts for appliance sales, a marketing function. If I was too selective marketing did not make quota and the salesperson salary suffered. If I was too lenient, the marketing department made above quota and the salesperson was very happy. In my accounting function was responsible for the payment of the contracts. I reported to a Division Accounting Manager who expected me to collect the money for the appliances. I received my promotions and my bonus on how effective I was in collections not in sales. This is the conundrum of a first line manager; how do you carry out line goals while not alienating other departments.Now think about this, if a first line manager wants to become a general manager, they must keep the other departments goals in perspective. Other first line managers must know, even though, you have departmental interest; you understand other departments have vested interest. You must be seen as cooperating with them to make every manager and the company successful. This is very important, and an extremely difficult balance.If you want to progress to a mid-level manager within your functional area, cooperation with other departments vested interests is important. A mid-level functional manager most times reports to a middle level general manager and higher level functional manager. Progression to a functional middle manager is difficult, most times, you have to be on the top of the department’s functional goals. In addition, you must be acceptable to the mid- level general manager. A mid-level general manager will not want a line functional manager that creates problems for other functional areas as a mid-level functional manager.Now, consider the first line manager as general manager. I was a first line business office manager and general manager, I was responsible for all the functions of the company. I had an interest in the accomplishing the goals of accounting, marketing, and operations. I had goals in each of these functional areas. I reported to a middle level general manager. I was given these positions because I was a successful first line manager. Also, I was chosen for these positions because of my expanded activities in the community and within the company. I achieved my functional goals and helped other departments make their goals; or, I would never been given these general management positions. As a general manager my energy was divided among the functional areas of the company. My success was based on my teams success in all the functional areas. I had a vested interest in all functional areas. Now, I had to deal with reporting to functional middle managers whose vested interest was in their area.Second consider, a business’s external interest and the manager’s role. A couple examples are the vested interest of Labor unions, and the community.Labor unions are an external vested interest. Unions present a unique problem for a first line manager.I remember my Dad explaining mistletoe to me. Mistletoe gets it food from the tree. If the tree dies the mistletoe plant will die. I wondered if the mistletoe knew it could kill the tree. Labor unions have a vested interest in keeping the union alive. Do they care if the business survives? I think that to a great extent a union does.As a first line and general manager, I had to contend with union concerns. This meant, I became an expert on the union contract. I realized the written comments in the contract did not always mean what they seemed to mean. This conundrum meant, I had to know the memorandum of understanding of the comments between the company and the union. Also, I made use of a company industrial relations person when there was confusion.A union employee’s interest was not always in the best interest of the company; it was with the union. Seniority is a vested interest in unions. This means that seniority was a interest of union employees. Our contract gave certain entitlements for seniority. I had to know how to manage seniority. If I was not careful, union employees would use seniority entitlements to their advantage. For example, union employees that reported to me wanted all new vehicle to go to the senior employee. This entitlement was not in the contract and was not in the interest of the company. I refused to allow the senior employee to get the new vehicle. Why is knowledge of the contract contents important to a manager? If you are not careful, you will set a precedent in your department that will be used against the company in negotiations or arbitrations.First line managers must understand community interest. First line managers must at times place these community interest ahead of company and personal interests. This is very important today because of social media. A manager must always be aware of risk management and ethics in their decisions. Some decisions may seem correct for your department or company; but, will not for the interest of the community. Your decision could become a risk management issue for your company.Consider, General Motors, because it did not consider the interest of the community when it did not recall the cars because of the starter problem in their cars. This decision had a tremendous negative impact on the image of General Motors with the public.I will not continue with other examples of invested interest first line managers must consider.The point is, a first line manager must be sensitive to other’s vested interest; then, manage their vested interest accordingly. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://drbdzms.info/first-line-manager-understanding-vested-interest,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Marbella Spa and Health Resort</title> <link>https://drbdzms.info/marbella-spa-and-health-resort,html</link> <comments>https://drbdzms.info/marbella-spa-and-health-resort,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2023 18:02:47 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spa and Wellness]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://drbdzms.info/?p=61</guid> <description><![CDATA[Costa del Sol is a booming health- tourism center.

The region has two gorgeous resorts from the last century which were the forerunner to the eclectic range of Marbella spa and wellness centers. The presence of the hot springs resulted in health tourism boom today. The place has both traditional centers and the most modern and comfortable setting.An excellent combination of both health and tourism made the place an alluring formula. The rest and the physical well-being of the powerful spas and the exotic beaches makes it possible to deal with anxiety, fatigue and other problems caused by the busy city life.The spa here is no longer a place for only the elderly people; it is frequented by people of different ages. They offer wonderful combination of health treatments and leisure, fun and recreation. In most cases, Marbella Accommodation comes equipped with spa facilities, so you can get the highly specialized services within reach.The place is an iconic beach resort with sun kissed shores in Spain. Once popular as the vacation of spot for the classes, is now popular among masses as well. It is the jewel of the small stretch of the Spanish coastline.

Most people will never find happiness in life because they don’t know what they want, and even if they do, they’re not sure what to do to achieve it, or they don’t believe it is possible.There are a lot of simple things you can do to change your life. It takes patience and time. Since 90 percent of our lives is habit, then the key is to focus on your habits and begin to change those habits one at a time. If you have residual baggage from your past, systems like the Healing Codes or the “How Your Mind Can Keep You Well” meditation will help you remove those blocks to achievement and allow you to heal.Understanding how this simple system works is crucial to getting the most out of it. Like anything else, what you put into it determines what you get out of it. If you feed your body junk food, fill your mind full of negativity and neglect your spiritual life, don’t expect to reap the benefits of a happy, joyful and abundant life.1. What Is The Mind Body Spirit Business And Life?It is taking a total body approach to your business and life. When you develop a strategy to change your life in one of the three main areas: health, wealth or relationships, you take a mind, body and spirit approach. You approach each problem from three different directions and then have the mind, body and spirit working together, in tangent, to solve the problem.To successfully change, your body must take the right action. Your mind must believe the right things and your heart, part of your spirit, must agree with your mind.2. What Are The Three Key Areas Of Concentration?The three keys to the system are the mind, body and spirit. You must have a healthy mind, body and spirit in order to operate at 100 percent capacity in your life. If you have baggage or issues, these things put a drain on both your resources, energy and your body. Get rid of the baggage and take effective action to deal with your issues, and you restore you energy levels and benefit your health. Also, it is much more effortless to try and attain your goals when you have peace, joy, love and focus in your life.3. What Are The Three Key Areas Of Goal Setting?The three key areas of goal setting are health, wealth and relationships. Without good health, you don’t have the energy you need to accomplish your goals. Without true wealth, you don’t have the resources you need to to make the change necessary and finance your dreams. Resources can be anything from an education to financial resources and also the people in your life. Your success, as well as achieving your goals, is not dependent on having money. It is dependent on finding effective solutions to your problems and releasing your baggage and then taking action.Relationships are icing on the cake. What is the point of becoming successful if you don’t have someone to share it with? None of us operate in a vacuum, and if you want to be truly happy, the most important way is to have good relationships. We were born to love and be loved.4. What Is The Basis Of The Concept?The Mind Body Spirit Business and Life concept is simple: every strategy you devise to change your life focuses on all three keys so you develop a strategy that is effective in helping you accomplish your goals. Since the mind, body and spirit work together, every change you make must include these three things. It is based on a concept I developed after reading “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace Wattles.Implementation of this three step system is based on what I learned from reading Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles.” He mentions a suggested morning routine that includes 20 minutes of exercise, 20 minutes of meditation and 20 minutes of reading inspirational material.Although it is influenced by my study of Jesus’ teaching, Zen and Quantum Physics, as well as my time serving in the United States Army, it is belief system independent. It operates on the laws of universal human truth and the laws of the universe. Because of it, this system works for anyone regardless of belief system. It is about bringing your beliefs in line with the universe and how it works.5. How Do I Implement This Strategy In My Life?The system is really simple. You spend 20 minutes a day on each focus: mind, body and spirit. That means 20 minutes of exercise, 20 minutes of meditation and 20 minutes of reading something inspirational to feed your mind and help you change what you believe. You choose what type of exercise you do, what you read and what meditation you use, so this is a custom program.6. Where I Can I Get More Information?Read my book, “The Hour of Power: When Jesus, Zen and Quantum Physics Meet the US Army.” It is available for free to anyone that wants it. My mission is to help anyone who wants to change his/her life and achieve a life of health, wealth, prosperity and happiness. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://drbdzms.info/the-mind-body-spirit-business-and-life-6-key-questions-answered,html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Material Handling Software Guide</title> <link>https://drbdzms.info/material-handling-software-guide,html</link> <comments>https://drbdzms.info/material-handling-software-guide,html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 26 Mar 2023 07:57:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[software]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://drbdzms.info/?p=56</guid> <description><![CDATA[Material handling software is a designed to take care of storage, retrieval and transportation of products within an automated warehouse.

Taken as a whole, this industry employs over 100 million people directly and a similar number in related jobs, contributing a whopping 9 percent of global GDP, or $6 trillion. A closer look at the statistics from institutions such as the World Economic Forum also reveals that 10 percent of all jobs globally are in this sector, and there are logical explanations why certain countries have succeeded.Analysis reveals that Europe is in the lead in travel and tourism, and all the top ten countries are from the region. Switzerland leads the pack for a number of reasons. Firstly, its infrastructure is second to none and facilities related to the sector are top notch, including staff. Secondly, the country has a reputation as having the best hotel management schools in the world. Thirdly, Switzerland’s environmental policies are of a very high standard, heavy emphasis being placed on sustainability. This forward thinking has been emulated by countries such as Germany, Austria, Spain, France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.Investment in the travel and tourism sector cannot be overemphasized, and in Africa, this is clearly evident in a number of countries. The ratio of investment in the industry to GDP in Seychelles is the second highest in the world, and in Kenya, high government spending on destination marketing has seen the industry grow to be the top foreign exchange earner. This continued investment suggests that the industry continues to develop and has not reached stagnation. In essence, this is an immensely important industry and any country that wants to boost its economy must seriously consider high investment in the sector, particularly since even in times of recession, job growth is seen to be on the rise and can be an attractive argument to increase investment.Many aspects of a country can set it apart, making travel and tourism a very viable option; the lifestyle of the people, their traditions and customs, culinary culture, wildlife, landmarks, and more that can be said to be truly unique. After all, traveling is all about new experiences, and as long as mankind thirsts for these new experiences, this industry will continue to grow, and no doubt countries should take advantage of the huge and enormous potential within their shores that is unlimited in every respect. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://drbdzms.info/the-importance-of-travel-and-tourism,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:
