  31. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>    Upon getting information about an upcoming school science fair and the need to consider a topic of interest, many students will typically have no idea where to get started. 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&#8217;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>

  60. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> One of the enterprising, most important and breathtaking professions and area of study is Art. The great impacts exerted by art in our lives as humans are very severe such that scholars in the field synonymously interchange life with art and vice versa. This is true because from personal adornment through to the enhancement of our societies and the carrying out of our everyday activities pivots on art. It is, however, sad to realize how people rate and value art today. Art receives low patronage and recognition in the pool of other disciplines. Students who would want to pursue the study of art due to their awe-inspiring talents in sculpture, graphics, leatherwork, basketry, ceramics and the other vibrant fields of art do not receive the due sponsorship. These young enterprising artists end up shattering their great talents and resort to engaging in petty chores like cleaning, helping in construction works, housekeeping, and trading. The situation is escalated even in developing countries in Africa. The patronage of art is so low such that students from affluent homes who would want to pursue art are discouraged by their parents and even mocked at by their mates as timid students. The few who courageously take up the cross of art lack funding from funding agencies who prioritize the sponsorship of the so-called sciences and maths! Yet, the multi-million question we must ask ourselves is that &#8216;Are the other disciplines better than art?Some argue that health sciences, economics, mathematics, and geography are enterprising because their industries have been established already and those professions are well paid and as such highly respected. Moreover, they are pursued by academically giants and gurus who had higher grading points. Though somehow true, these professions are no better than the arts. A retrospection into the renaissance age stresses this assertion.Staunch scholars who were well versed theoretically and practically in various fields of human endeavor like Science, Mathematics and Engineering pursued art in the renaissance age. For instance, Leonardo da Vinci who was a leading figure in art, particularly painting and sculpture, was a scientist and engineer at the same time. He reckoned that art played quintessential roles in the society that either surpassed or equaled the sciences and maths. Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Donatello and the other great artists in that era were brilliant scholars! Even today, great scholars and students who attain high grading points study art. This clears the wrong notion that art is pursued by the academically weak and as such receives low patronage and sponsorship.In addition, art received great sponsorship in the renaissance period. The Medici family from Florence in Italy sponsored art programs, seminars, workshops and competitions that were to hunt for talents in art. Projects in art received high sponsorships from governmental authorities, famous personage and wealthy businessmen in the society. This great support raised the patronage of art and its recognition was commonplace. The situation is different today. Art programs and workshops aimed to raise the standards of art receive low or no sponsorship from funding agencies, institutions and wealthy well-meaning persons in the society. This situation must cease if we want to realize the advancement in our societal, national and global development.Art must be associated with respect and status in our societies due to the great impact it wields on societal events and activities like its counterparts in other disciplines. In fact, the so-called successful fields of study like architecture, engineering, mathematics, and the health sciences depend on art in the discharge of their duties.The time is now for scholars, governments, funding agencies and well-meaning personage in the societies to support and fund art programs, education and other activities that would assist in its development. The accolade of art is still true today that &#8216;art is life&#8217;. Sponsorship of art is greatly needed and it must be attended to with all seriousness to facilitate and speed up the grooming of young talents, arrest the unemployment crisis of the numerous young persons and unemployed in societies to make our world a better place. Indeed life is art, and art is life! </p>

  92. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> A study by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee takes an in-depth assessment of the possible effects that national health care reform could mean for Tennessee residents. The study estimates that 683,000 Tennesseans will get new Tennessee health insurance coverage under health care reform. It also focuses on possible changes in access to medical care, as well as the shift from employer-provided TN health insurance to the state exchange.Dr. Steven Coulter, president of the Tennessee Health Institute, conducted the study entitled &#8220;National Health Care Reform: The Impact On Tennessee.&#8221; According to Coulter, the study explores how the expansion of Medicaid and the establishment of the TN health insurance exchange in 2014 will affect the residents of Tennessee.Coulter says that since the advent of Medicare in 1965, the Patient Protect and Affordable Care Act has been the largest expansion of entitlement programs. &#8220;With the expected increase in consumers eligible for Medicaid expansion coverage and an estimated 1.5 million qualifying for subsidies in 2014, there is a great deal that needs to be addressed to ensure a smooth transaction,&#8221; he says. Coutler also noted that people who already have access to health care might have to wait longer when more people can afford to see a doctor unless there are basic changes to the health care system.What&#8217;s Happening With The Shortage Of Doctors In Tennessee?Long before health care reform, an appalling shortage of doctors was noted in Tennessee, and the situation has improved dramatically in some counties. On October 26, 2011, The Jackson Sun reported that the situation had improved in rural West Tennessee. Specifically, the doctor-patient ratio in Hardeman County went from one doctor per 4,675 people to one doctor per 2,229 people from 1992 to 1999. Chester County saw similar improvement with the ratio of one doctor per to 6,409 people falling to one doctor per 2,505 people.What&#8217;s Happening to Tennessee Health Insurance Prices?Coulter also notes the possibility that young adults will have to pay more for Tennessee health insurance by 2014. That&#8217;s because health care reform tends to level the playing field, so to speak. Groups, like the long living, have been paying high premiums, while young people have been paying low premiums. To average out the price of TN health coverage for all residents, some will likely end up paying more, but those who have been paying high rates, will get a break.Who Stands To Gain The Most From Health Care Reform?Overall, the people with the greatest economical disadvantages stand to benefit most as access to health care is extended to more state citizens. People who have been barred from getting TN health care coverage based on medical conditions will also get greater access to health care when they can finally get coverage.Employers are also expected to have financial gains when they can encourage employees to get Tennessee health insurance through the exchange because not providing coverage will improve the company&#8217;s bottom line.Will Everyone Directly Benefit From Health Care Reform?It remains to be seen whether people who currently have TN health insurance will have longer wait times for health care, with more doctors and clinics coming to the state. For example, a federally-funded clinic opened in Hardeman county in 1993 and in Hardin county in 1995. In East Jackson, West Tennessee Healthcare opened a clinic in 1996, and federally-funded clinics have been operating in Fayette and Lake County since the 1970s.Tennessee health insurance companies will have to navigate new price regulations and could see their profit margins decreasing over time. Insurers selling individual TN health insurance plans are already required to spend 80 percent of the premiums they take in to pay for policyholders&#8217; care. That reduces the amount of premiums they have been permitted to keep as profit. Group plans have been managing regulations that require they spend 85 percent of premiums for policyholders&#8217; care, though. </p>

  108. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 1) Equities can be grouped into six &#8220;equity styles&#8221;2) Returns of each equity style can vary significantly with trends persisting for months and years.3) By dynamically altering a portfolio&#8217;s exposure to various equity styles, investors can attempt to add performance over a static allocation.4) Relatively simple strategies can be employed to signal rotational decisions among various equity styles.September, 2005I view equity style strategies as one of the most powerful and profitable elements of our Absolute Return Portfolios.THE TWO AXES OF EQUITY STYLESIn Equity Style vernacular, stocks can be grouped along two axes: 1) Market Capitalization and 2) Fundamental Valuation.MARKET CAPITALIZATIONMarket capitalization is simply the outstanding number of shares multiplied by share price. That product represents the total value, or market capitalization, of a publicly traded company. If a firm had 1 million shares outstanding and traded at $50 per share, the market capitalization would be $50 million, for example.FUNDAMENTAL VALUATIONThe second axis on which a company can be compared is fundamental valuation. Stocks are characterized as either &#8220;growth&#8221; or &#8220;value&#8221; firms. This categorization is dynamic in that growth companies can become value companies and vice versa. The approaches used to characterize companies into one of these two categories are quite varied and can run from the utterly simplistic to esoteric multi-factor models.All categorization techniques seek to use one or more fundamental variables to categorize a company as either a &#8220;growth stock&#8221; or &#8220;value stock&#8221;. Initial approaches were based on ranking companies of the basis of price-to-book value (P/B ratio). Those companies with the highest P/B ratio were categorized as &#8220;growth&#8221; while those with the lowest P/B ratio were considered &#8220;value stocks&#8221;. Since that time, models that use an assortment of fundamental ratios (Price/Earnings, Price/Sales, Gross Margin Percentages, EPS and Sales Growth etc.) have been developed to better categorize stocks into their respective camps.THE EQUITY STYLE MATRIXReally, the categorizations are nothing more than combining one group from each of the two axes that cover capitalization and fundamental valuation. Since we have three capitalization groups (small, mid, and large) and two fundamental valuation groups (growth and value) our matrix is comprised of the six equity styles below:Small-Cap GrowthMid-Cap GrowthLarge-Cap GrowthSmall-Cap ValueMid-Cap ValueLarge-Cap ValueRELATIVE PERFORMANCE &#8211; MARKET CAPITALIZATIONThis exercise wouldn&#8217;t be very interesting if it weren&#8217;t for the fact that significant variability occurs among the returns of these six equity styles. Let&#8217;s start with just the Market Capitalization axis and review the performance of Small-Cap versus Large-Cap stocks over two recent periods. I will be using the S&#038;P 500 as a proxy for large-cap stocks and the Russell 2000 as a proxy for small-cap stocks.Period of Large-Cap dominance (March 30, 1994 &#8211; March 30, 1999)Index Total Return &#038; Annualized ReturnS&#038;P 500 (Large-Cap):220.66% &#038; 26.20%Russell 2000 (Small-Cap): 57.71% &#038; 9.50%Period of Small-Cap dominance (March 30, 1999 &#8211; June 30, 2005)Index Total Return &#038; Annualized ReturnS&#038;P 500 (Large-Cap): 1.70% &#038; 0.27%Russell 2000 (Small-Cap): 60.87% &#038; 7.92%This first period coincided with a powerful bull market. Large-cap stocks delivered incredible returns of over 26% annually! Even though the large-cap stocks trounced their small-cap brethren, the small-caps still had a respectable showing returning 9.50% annualized. Things get more interesting in the second period which encompassed a massive bear market decline. Over this past 6.25 year period large-cap stocks haven&#8217;t even provided money market rates of return. Small-cap stocks have provided a respectable result considering that many indexes suffered declines of over 50% within this time period.RELATIVE PERFORMANCE &#8211; FUNDAMENTAL VALUATIONLet&#8217;s now turn our attention to the other axis of Fundamental Valuation and review performance trends among growth and value equity styles. In this case, I will use the Morningstar indices as proxies for the growth and value equity styles.Period of Growth Style dominance (December 31, 1997 &#8211; March 31, 2000)Index Total Return &#038; Annualized ReturnGrowth: 127.98% &#038; 44.23%Value: 10.28% &#038; 4.45%Period of Value Style dominance (March 31, 2000- June 30, 2005)Index Total Return &#038; Annualized ReturnGrowth: -55.01% &#038; -13.75%Value: 54.16% &#038; 8.34%The difference in performance over both of these periods is staggering. During the first period ending March 2000, Growth stocks out-performed valued stocks by nearly 40% per annum. Their period of relative strength ended coincident with the top in Technology stocks and since then value stocks have taken the lead. Since March 2000, growth equities have depreciated by over half whilst Value equities have appreciated over 50%! That&#8217;s better than a 20% annual difference between growth and value.COMBINING THE BEST EQUITY STYLES &#8211; Market Capitalization and Fundamental ValuationAs I&#8217;ve shown, recently small-cap stocks have been performing significantly better than large-cap stocks. Similarly, Value stocks have been doing relatively better than growth stocks. Initially, we looked at each of these factors in isolation but the real performance boost comes from combining the best of both worlds. In recent history, this has meant Small-Cap Value has been among the very best places to invest.Using the Morningstar style boxes below, I have ranked them by performance since the Value outperformance cycle began in the spring of 2000.Index Return 03/30/1999-08/31/2005:Morningstar Small-Cap Value: 156.50%Morningstar Mid-Cap Value: 113.70%Morningstar Smal-lCap All Style: 110.63%Morningstar Mid-Cap All Style: 75.21%Morningstar US All-Cap Value: 51.36%Morningstar Small-Cap Growth: 31.89%Morningstar Large-Cap Value: 31.33%Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth: 23.94%S&#038;P 500 Index: 3.34%Morningstar Large-Cap All Style: -7.54%NASDAQ Composite Index: -13.23%Morningstar US All-Cap Growth -33.49%Morningstar Large-Cap Growth -47.44%The performance differences among the various equity styles are extraordinary. From the very best performance from Small-Cap Value to the very worst performance from Large-Cap Growth there is over a 200% difference over the 6+ year period evaluated! Annualized, that amounts to over 19% from Small-Cap Value as compared to over a -16% loss from Large-Cap Growth. That&#8217;s greater than a 35% difference in annual returns.DRIVERS OF EQUITY STYLE PERFOMANCEThere are many drivers of relative performance among various equity styles. The factors effecting each of the Market Capitalization and Fundamental Valuation cycles have overlapping as well as unique drivers and catalysts both economic and political. The topic is complex and beyond the scope of this article. As a generalization, relative valuation drives the performance along the Market Capitalization axis (large-cap vs. small-cap). Macroeconomic factors drive performance along the Fundamental Valuation axis (growth vs. value).TRACKING EQUITY STYLE RELATIVE PERFORMANCE TRENDSA picture is worth a thousand words. I recommend using charting software or a service such as BigCharts.com or Stockcharts.com (with whom I have no affiliation) that will allow you to compare the performance of the various equity styles graphically. The type of analysis is referred as Relative Strength or Relative Performance. A Relative Performance line is calculated by simply divided the price one index by another for each period and then plotting those resulting ratios.An upward trend in the Relative Performance line indicates that the index in the numerator of our comparison is performing better than the index in the denominator. Likewise, a downtrend in the Relative Performance line indicates that the index in the numerator is performing more poorly than the index in the denominator.By tracking these Relative Performance trends, investors can determine which &#8220;equity style box&#8221; they should concentrate upon. This is true whether you buy individual stocks, mutual funds, variable annuities, or ETFs. Smaller investors have a tremendous advantage over billion dollar mutual funds and registered investment advisors that can pursue only one equity style.EQUITY STYLE INVESTMENT VEHICLESThere are now a large number of ways to take advantage of equity style trends. For ETF-based strategies the Yahoo Finance site is an excellent resource for searching for ETFs. For mutual fund investors, Rydex and ProFunds both offer all of the various equity styles. The large mutual fund houses also offer many of the equity style funds but aren&#8217;t as friendly to mutual fund switchers as Rydex and ProFunds.STAYING ON TOP OF EQUITY STYLE TRENDSOur FREE managed account publication, The Absolute Return Strategist, covers equity style trends each week. Those that are not as technically proficient can get our regular updates on equity style trends and how we are positioning our Absolute Return Portfolios.

  130. <p>Two Emotions that play a bigger factor in the success or failure of humans than any other emotion we experience. Both fear and greed refer to an intrinsic emotional state. Tens of Millions of dollars have been made and lost based on these 2 emotions alone. In trading, in business and in relationships.

  131. <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>
  132. <p>It is well known that emotions create a certain amount of pleasure or displeasure. It is also known that emotions are networked with mood, frame of mind, desires and passions. The list goes on&#8230; So how do we as individuals develop a skill set to navigate these emotions in business in trading and in life?</p>
  133. <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>
  134. <p>A Lesson From One of the Greats!</p>
  135. <p>I would be doing my readers a disservice if we did not mention the strategy of Warren Buffett. One of the most successful investors of our time. Warren Buffet stuck to his strategy and profited greatly. Warren Buffett showed us just how important and beneficial it is to stick to a plan. When deciding whether or not to invest in a company himself, Buffett and his partners follow a few simple guidelines, one of which involves trying to determine the company&#8217;s longevity.</p>
  136. <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>
  137. <p>Just as greed dominated the recent Cryptocurrency boom or fear dominates the headlines on potential trade war outcomes, investors quickly move around from one &#8220;secure&#8221; investment to another. It becomes a constant game of cat and mouse.</p>
  138. <p>This flooding in of money to the stock market shows a complete disregard for many technical indicators that continue to scream a correction is inescapable. Retail Investors seem overjoyed with the flooding in of headlines that read ALL TIME HIGH. Should retail investors be overrun by fear of a major correction?. Granted, losing a large portion of your retirement portfolio&#8217;s worth is a tough pill to swallow, but even harder to digest is the possibility of missing out on the massive gains the market is currently offering investors of all experience levels.</p>
  139. <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>
  140. <p>I have also added a link of &#8220;Must Read&#8221; Books that have been advantageous in my journey of reigning in my emotions on decision-making. I will update this as I see fit..</p>
  141. <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>

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

  183. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Color can be a powerful tool for website design. It can draw attention, convey emotion, inspire an atmosphere of desire, or directing conversation all these and more are accomplished through the clever and well-planned application of color. Similar to layouts and style of your words the color visitors will see on your website will determine the way they feel about it and whether or whether they&#8217;ll return.</p>
  184. <p>What makes color important for Website Design</p>
  185. <p>Colors can increase the visibility of your brand and can also entice visitors to your website to engage. The impression they form subconsciously about your company could be based on your website&#8217;s color scheme. So when a web design firm is first deciding to design your site, they first look at two aspects &#8211; the feelings your brand wants to create, and the cultural and philosophical contexts that it would like to be in line with. This is the initial step to choosing the right colors for the design of your website.</p>
  186. <p>Color Psychology &#8211; colors trigger emotions<br />
  187. Psychology of color is the term used to describe the impact that color can influence a person&#8217;s feelings behaviours, feelings, and moods. Although the rules are not fixed in stone, we are drawn to certain colors because they affect our feelings. The context here is crucial. Red could mean fear and risk to certain people, but enthusiasm and passion to other people. When using colors in web design, it should blend seamlessly with aspects of the website including copy, typography, and images.</p>
  188. <p>Below are some colors and the emotions they bring. While they aren&#8217;t fixed in stone, these are generalizations and can have an impact on the people who are watching. This will help you determine the color of your choice in accordance with how you would like your viewers to feel and the actions you would like them to do.</p>
  189. <p>• Red Power, Love passion, danger exhilaration</p>
  190. <p>• Orange: fun, warmth, comfort, freedom, playfulness</p>
  191. <p>• White Peace, Clarity pure, purity, and cleanliness</p>
  192. <p>• Blue: calm, confidence peace, trust and logic, as well as reliability</p>
  193. <p>• Purple: luxury, sophistication, mystery, loyalty, creativity</p>
  194. <p>• Pink: gentleness, sincerity, nurturing, warmth</p>
  195. <p>• Green: health, nature, prosperity, abundance</p>
  196. <p>• Brown nature protection, security, support</p>
  197. <p>• Yellow: happiness, creativity, optimism, friendliness</p>
  198. <p>• The Black: class, control power, sophistication and depression</p>
  199. <p>Cultural Context<br />
  200. 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>
  201. <p>The color Red is thought to be associated with focus and pressure in Western culture, while many Eastern cultures believe it is associated with luck. It is important to consider the context when making a selection of colors. Most of the time, you&#8217;ll prefer to select the colors of your company based on the audience you want to reach. Based on the location where your market is located the colors displayed on your site could convey significant messages in different ways.</p>
  202. <p>However, it&#8217;s not always the case particularly when it comes to massive and well-known brands that have images already embedded in our consciousness. The red color of Coca-Cola or KFC, for example, will typically have no negative associations anymore, considering the extent to which well-known and loved they are.</p>
  203. <p>The Basics of Color Theory</p>
  204. <p>Theory of Color is an established set of rules that can be helpful in understanding and creating complementary colors and combinations. These basic principles can assist you in creating a color colour scheme that is appropriate to your company&#8217;s specific requirements.</p>
  205. <p>Primary Colors: They are three in total &#8211; blue, red and yellow.</p>
  206. <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>
  207. <p>Tertiary Colors: These are colors made by mixing primary with secondary color.</p>
  208. <p>Shades, Tints Tones: The colors listed above are referred to by some as &#8220;pure shades&#8221;. But, these colors can be used to create other colors. Tints are created by adding white to pure colors, which makes them less intense and lighter. Shades are created by adding a lack and making them heavier and more powerful. It is possible to use white and black in different levels to create tones using pure hues.</p>
  209. <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>
  210. <p>Color Models</p>
  211. <p>When designing graphic designs, color is defined using color models. This is due to the fact that it is possible to find millions of different colors and it&#8217;s impossible to list every single one. The standards were developed to allow us to easily define colors by using numbers.</p>
  212. <p>RGB Model: The model that is used when working with designs on the screen. RGB refers to Red as well as Green and Blue. The three colors are assigned a value of zero to 255, and the different combinations give us different shades. The colors are typically displayed as color codes, six-digit hexadecimal code numbers. It&#8217;s an &#8220;additive&#8221; color model.</p>
  213. <p>CMYK Model: This model is utilized to print for printing purposes. It is a combination of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black Each color is described using its proportion of these colors. It is a &#8220;subtractive&#8221; colour model.</p>
  214. <p>the LAB Model: The word LAB means lightness, A channel as well as B channel. It&#8217;s a more complicated model. It includes the lightness factor, which is a range of zero to 100, an A component that is located on the red-green axis, and a B component that is located on the blue and yellow axis. This means that the color description is more akin to human perception when compared to RGB and CMYK models.</p>
  215. <p>Making Color Palettes</p>
  216. <p>The first color you select for your website is the primary color of your company&#8217;s branding (Red is the color of Coca Cola, for example). This is where the psychology of color is particularly useful. The color you choose is in accordance with the feelings and the personality you want to communicate. Following that, you build your color palette with the colors that complement the base color. This is the time when the color wheel is used.</p>
  217. <p>Color Wheel: A color wheel can be described as an instrument that is used to illustrate the connection between different colors. It&#8217;s basically an abstract drawing that arranges different hues of color within a circle.</p>
  218. <p>With the aid of a color wheel, you have are five primary types of color palettes you can make with the help of color wheel</p>
  219. <p>Analogous Palette: Analogous colors are put on top of each other in the form of a color wheel. They are in low contrast against each other and work well together, giving an elegant effect.</p>
  220. <p>Monochromatic Palette: The palettes are made up of one hue that is distinctive, and is complemented by elements of various colors and hues. The palette is appealing to look at. To prevent an uninteresting look it&#8217;s beneficial to add different colors, or even complimentary elements to your website.</p>
  221. <p>The HTML0 Triad Palette &#8211; This palette is composed of three colors, which are evenly spaced from each other on the wheel of color. This method should be employed with care, and not only to select colours that go well with each other and blend well but also to utilize the colors in a way that doesn&#8217;t appear too cluttered and loud.</p>
  222. <p>Complementary Palette: The Complementary palette is made up of colors that are on opposite sides of the spectrum of colors. This is a great way to create striking art designs that attract attention to certain parts of your site.</p>
  223. <p>Split-complementary Palette: The palette is similar to complement palettes, but it has another color placed beside one of the colors that complement each other on the wheel of color. If used correctly this design can be effective in creating a natural appearance without too much sound.</p>
  224. <p>Effective Tools to Inspire</p>
  225. <p>Inspiration for new colors can be found everywhere from competitor websites to nature, and the beautiful outdoors. It&#8217;s also beneficial to keep abreast of the new trends in branding. Here are some helpful tools to help you get going with fresh color concepts right away.</p>
  226. <p>Pinterest The website Pinterest is a wealth of color palette concepts developed by designers from all over the globe. They can be an incredible source of ideas.</p>
  227. <p>Pantone: The color Pantone has been the leading company in the area of color. It is an index of color that determines the various shades of the various hues. The most recent trends in color in fashion and design generally stem from pantone.</p>
  228. <p>color-scheme Creation Websites: There are many dedicated color websites for designers that can assist you in creating colors and play around with the palettes in any way you would like. This is a fantastic opportunity to try out and create new palettes for yourself. Websites such as Adobe Color Wheel, Color Collective along with Design Seeds can be great for quick ideas.</p>
  229. <p>Conclusion</p>
  230. <p>While color alone may not be the sole factor in website design, it does play an important role. If used properly and in a way that is appropriate, the color(s) that you use be a defining factor for your company&#8217;s image. Utilizing the tricks and tips that were mentioned earlier, you will not have any issues using colors in your web design to get the most impact.</p>

  248. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Summer is wrapping up, but the party season is not over yet! After all, who says you can only celebrate during the holidays? If you&#8217;re looking to host a dinner party that will be remembered long after the last dish is cleared, read on for our top 8 tips:</p>
  249. <p>Set the mood with music and lighting: The right playlist can set the tone for your party. Make sure to have a few fast-paced songs to get your guests dancing and some slower tunes for when things start to wind down. And don&#8217;t forget the candles! Nothing says &#8216;romantic dinner party&#8217; quite like a few flickering flames.</p>

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

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