  31. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Air travel used to be one of the most expensive modes of travel in the 1980s and because of the high cost of operation, price of air tickets was sky-high in that time period, and only few people could afford it. With changes in research and technology, and market structure, it has become one of the most cost-effective travel options, considering benefits. Now, people can easily travel cross borders with cheapest air tickets international, offered by budget carriers. However, the prices have not magically dropped by more than 50 per cent in just a few decades.Hassle-free ToursMany carriers offer flight and hotel packages also, which are usually cheaper and convenient for travellers. They offer complete information of the place of stay and tariffs charged for them. These offers are suitable for leisure travellers, who randomly select a destination and visiting there. It saves time of tourists that they may have wasted in searching a proper accommodation after reaching the destination. However, these budget flights and hotel packages may not be suitable for everyone, as people have their own preferences about accommodation, location of the hotel and seat offered in-flight.New StrategiesA number of strategies and cost cuts have been introduced in order to make it available for a larger section of the society. One such strategy is de-bundling of services offered along with the ticket. It simply means segregating service charges from fuel surcharges and base fare that passengers have to pay. Now, travellers need to pay only for the services they avail like for headsets, Wi-Fi connection and window seats. The other is the increase in the number of seats in the aircraft, so as to offer seats to more people. However, there are a number of steps that can make a journey, especially long-haul journeys.Smart StepsAs advised by frequent travellers, the first and foremost step towards a comfortable journey is a smarty-packed backpack. Irrespective of the destination and number of days of stay, a bag should be as light as possible. Travellers can get bag arrangers, shelves and other accessories that help in keeping it organised and slimmer. It not only eliminates the issues related with carrying it at the terminal, but also passes the security check in just a matter of minutes. People can check the baggage instruction of the respective airline they are travelling with and can avoid the items that they may be asked to remove during checking process.After being done with packing, they can opt for electronic check-in process, which saves a great deal of time. Nowadays, the parking status is also available on the internet that can be tracked down for quick entry and parking at the airport. Many airlines provide this information on telephone, so if it is not available on the internet, they can go for the customer care services to know the current status. Sleeping kit is easily available at the airport stores, which are a must-have product during inter-continental journeys. </p>

  46. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> A payday loan (also called a paycheck advance or payday advance) is exactly as it sounds&#8230; a small, short-term loan that is intended to cover a borrower&#8217;s expenses until his or her next payday.Payday loans are only set up to cover the borrower until they receive the next paycheck from their job. It is typically only for a short term period of 7 to 14 days before payment in full is due. Legislation &#038; Laws regarding payday loans can vary widely between different states and even different cities within a state.There are some states and jurisdictions impose strict usury limits and limit the amount of interest a payday lender can charge. Some jurisdictions outlaw payday loans all together. Then some have very few restrictions on payday lenders.Due to the extremely short-term nature of payday loans, the interest and APR can seem very extreme when compared to a traditional personal or signature loan that is normally spread out over a year or more.In very simple terms for each $100 borrowed a typical payday loan could cost anywhere between $15, $20, $25 to as much as $35 depending on the company. So if you borrow $100 dollars today you are required to pay $115 dollars or as much as $135 dollars two weeks from today. This is why it is good to shop around and compare companies.Loan Stores: Borrowers visit a payday loan store and secure a small cash loan, with payment due in full at the borrower&#8217;s next paycheck (usually a two week term). The borrower writes a postdated check to the lender in the full amount of the loan plus fees. On the maturity date, the borrower is expected to return to the store to repay the loan in person, and the check is handed back. If the borrower doesn&#8217;t repay the loan in person, the lender may process the check traditionally or through electronic withdrawal from the borrower&#8217;s checking account.If the account is short on funds to cover the check, the borrower may now face a bounced check fee from their bank in addition to the costs of the loan, and the loan may incur additional fees and/or an increased interest rate as a result of the failure to pay. For customers who cannot pay back the loan when due, it is always best to contact the payday loan company as soon as possible to workout an extension to keep from depositing the check.Payday lenders require the borrower to bring one or more recent pay stubs to prove that they have a steady source of income. The borrower is also required to provide recent bank statements. Every company is a different when it comes to approval. But in general if you can prove you earn enough to cover it then the payday loan is approved.Online Payday Services: Most people feel that going to a payday loan store is kind of an act of last resort. Sort of one step above a pawn shop and viewed as a sign of financial issues. For this reason many people seek a more discreet way of using payday loan services. Thus the dramatic increase in online payday loan companies.Online payday loans are marketed through e-mail, online search, paid ads, and referrals. Typically, a consumer fills out an online application form or faxes a completed application that requests personal information, bank account numbers, proof of income, paystubs etc. The borrowers faxes copies of a check, a recent bank statement, and signed paperwork. Then the loan is approved.The money is direct-deposited into the your checking account. If you the ability to fax from home then you never have to leave your home until you&#8217;re withdrawing the money from the ATM. Extremely convenient!And recently some online companies have even been advertising themselves as &#8220;no faxing is required&#8221;.The significant difference with online payday loan companies is that the loan re-payment is almost always done the same way it was given&#8230; through a electronic withdraw from your bank account. Therefore it is very important for you to be confident that the money will be in your checking account and the specific payment due date.Obtaining a payday loan can be a welcomed option in many cases of unexpected emergencies like car repairs, heat goes out in the middle of winter, etc. etc. Also an alternative for people with poor credit because there are no credit checks. You only have to prove that you have the ability to pay back the loan.However, it is important that you are fully aware of the total repayment cost&#8230; and confident you will be able to pay it&#8230; when it is due&#8230; BEFORE you accept the loan. </p>

  61. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Flat gardens or Hira-niwa in Japanese do not have hills and do not have any water in the way that a western garden would. The flat area which is essentially made of either sand or more usually gravel IS the water. All Japanese gardens tend to be a lesson in environment and space.Just like in a Zen garden the gravel is raked into swirls and different shapes to give the impression of the movement in a body of water. The ground is usually covered this way and on occasions I have seen flat gardens that use very small pebbles,once again raked in circles and straight lines to give the impression of water ripples.A flat garden can include many familiar ingredients that you would expect when making a Japanese garden. Stones, Rocks, Trees and Shrubs are very common.The trees although natural will be pruned and the low level shrubs and bushes shaped on the edge of the water space.Flat gardens were first designed to interpret and in miniature mimic Japan&#8217;s seaside landscapes or some of its grander lakes, a journey through Japanese garden history points to war and water shortages as to why water was replaced by gravel as a &#8216;dry&#8217; substitute. This is a trend that has continued for hundreds of years even in peacetime and with abundant supplies of water. The Edo period of Japanese history is when flat gardens became very popular.Interestingly water features apart from a body of water are fairly common in a Japanese &#8216;Flat&#8217; garden. For example, large upright stones can symbolise a waterfall and this something that you can copy for a garden space that you have in mind however large or small.Use non sharp edged rocks or stones (Granite) to depict islands within your gravel water area. 3 together is a popular representation of &#8216;The Isles of The Immortals&#8217;.The Japanese Circle and Gourd Islands are often copied and represented in the gravel water area to add the spirit of enlightenment. You will be able to get the correct rocks and stones from your local aggregate supplier &#8211; take some time to consider the shapes that you want and strictly speaking for authenticity you should not use rounded stones.Other ingredients that you may wish to add to a flat garden are stone lanterns, included for the illumination of parts of the garden at night, basins and if you are very ambitious even a well! Well&#8217;s are normally constructed out of wood and have some way of getting the water out of the well &#8211; a pulley and bucket or a large wooden spoon are common.Stepping stones can be placed across the gravel water area and look very effective if they lead to the far side of the gravel area where a rustic hut or pagoda is located. After the 16th century this was a popular type of design where the hut would be used for the slow and meaningful Tea ceremony.A completed flat garden will give a real impression of depth of space to the viewer as the eye is drawn into the water area with the clipped shrubs on the faraway edge. The stones or rocks placed carefully within the raked gravel &#8216;water&#8217; area give a feeling of depth and perspective relative to the scale of the garden.As a Zen garden is designed to be viewed from a single space it is exactly the same with a Japanese flat garden. The view is sometimes &#8216;framed&#8217; when a veranda door is opened or when looking through a larger window into the garden itself.The viewer&#8217;s eyes are drawn across the water to the carefully clipped low level shrubs and plants like Lilies or Azeleas. In Japan plantings are deliberately made in a flat garden to show off the seasons.Maples for the autumn, Cherry blossom looks its best in Spring, the soothing impression of water signifies summer and something like a Black Pine denotes the winter.Flat gardens became an alternative to hill gardens in Japan as were amongst the first residential gardens added to the homes of ordinary Japanese people and they continue to be a wonderful type of garden today for any yard or garden area.I believe a &#8216;Flat&#8217; or Hira-niwa garden is a cost effective and beautiful option for a domestic Japanese garden as it includes some of the essential ingredients needed for a Japanese garden as well as the classic Japanese garden design method of borrowed scenery. This is where the designer either copies a specific landscape in miniature or use existing scenery such as a hill located outside of the flat garden space to include it in the overall garden view.But, lets face it, not many of us have a natural piece of landscape that we can include in our overall design so just the copying of a real or imaginary landscape will be more than enough. Creating miniature landscapes allows your creative juices to flow and your imagination to run wild! All the more reason to get started on building your dream Japanese garden space.

  79. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Crypto currency vs. Fiat currency</p>
  80. <p>Are you aware of the fiat currencies and the crypto currencies? 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>
  81. <p>In cashless society- crypto money play a huge role</p>
  82. <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>
  83. <p>Crypto currency and fiat currency are always at loggerheads</p>
  84. <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>
  85. <p>Differentiating in what the currencies stand for</p>
  86. <p>Before going for the difference between the two, you must understand what do they stand for and how are they are defined.</p>
  87. <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&#8217;t have any backup from the central government or bank.<br />
  88. Hence, the difference between crypto currency and fiat currency is noted as follows:</p>
  89. <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>
  90. <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>
  91. <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>
  92. <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>
  93. <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>
  94. <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>
  95. <p>The different types of crypto and fiat currencies</p>
  96. <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>
  97. <p>The differences in the anonymity between the two currencies</p>
  98. <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&#8217;t need to undergo any of the required processes with the crypto currencies. Though your personal information and confidential details don&#8217;t get public, but all your transactions are recorded and tracked in both the fiat and the crypto currencies.</p>
  99. <p>Fiat currency vs crypto currency: transparency level</p>
  100. <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&#8217; transactions.</p>
  101. <p>• The fiat or govt. currencies are not transparent, as there are not public chains to see the revenue streams of the people.</p>
  102. <p>A comparative historical roots</p>
  103. <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>
  104. <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>
  105. <p>A comparative history of the two currencies:</p>
  106. <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>
  107. <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>
  108. <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>
  109. <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&#8217;t receive as much attention as Bitcoin.</p>
  110. <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>
  111. <p>The traits of both the currencies</p>
  112. <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>
  113. <p>Let us compare their traits with respect to certain factors.</p>
  114. <p>• Both the crypto coins and fiat type currencies are interchangeable in nature.</p>
  115. <p>• As per the portability is concerned both the currencies secure more or less the same position.</p>
  116. <p>• With respect to the non consumable criteria, crypto currency and fiat type currency have the equal status.</p>
  117. <p>• Crypto type currencies have high durability as compared to the fiat-currencies that have moderate level of durability.</p>
  118. <p>• Both the crypto or virtual currencies and the fiat or government currencies ensure secure and safeguarded transactions and exchange.</p>
  119. <p>• Crypto or digital currencies are highly divisible in nature. On the other hand, the fiat type currencies are moderately divisible.</p>
  120. <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>
  121. <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>
  122. <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>
  123. <p>• The crypto based currencies are based on mathematical algorithms, and are programmable. The fiat currencies are not at all programmable.</p>
  124. <p>• The fiat currencies are sovereign in nature, while the crypto currencies are not.</p>
  125. <p>The process of the functioning of the currencies</p>
  126. <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&#8217;t need any third party association.</p>
  127. <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>
  128. <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>
  129. <p>Is Bitcoin, a crypto currency better than the fiat-currency?</p>
  130. <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>
  131. <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>
  132. <p>Why is Bitcoins considered to be a better aspect than the fiat type currencies?</p>
  133. <p>• Bitcoin gives you the opportunity to re-create a free market capitalism.</p>
  134. <p>• The power of controlling the money is absolutely with the individuals, and not with the banks like the fiat type currencies.</p>
  135. <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>
  136. <p>• The Bitcoin currency is easy easier to exchange and transfer as compared to the fiat or government currencies.</p>
  137. <p>• The transaction fees involved with the Bitcoin are way cheaper and easily affordable.</p>
  138. <p>Crypto currencies seem to be a favorable option among the people</p>
  139. <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>
  140. <p>Send money anywhere directly without waiting for the bank&#8217;s approval</p>
  141. <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&#8217;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&#8217;t come under the law and regulations of the government, nobody has any power to do anything with your account.</p>

  162. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do you do if you want to learn driving a car? You will try to find an expert teacher, isn&#8217;t it? You do not want to avail the services of a novice individual to help you out, but a professional person can provide you the vital tips and most importantly guide you efficiently. Similarly, when it comes to investing in the stock market for the first time, you require a knowledgeable advice to attain your financial goals and get profitable returns.</p>
  163. <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>
  164. <p>How much assistance do you actually require?</p>
  165. <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>
  166. <p>Choose a top ranked advisory company</p>
  167. <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>
  168. <p>Asking for a sample financial plan initially makes sense</p>
  169. <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>
  170. <p>Conclusion</p>
  171. <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>
  172. <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>

  193. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greed and Fear.</p>
  194. <p>Two Emotions that play a bigger factor in the success or failure of humans than any other emotion we experience. Both fear and greed refer to an intrinsic emotional state. Tens of Millions of dollars have been made and lost based on these 2 emotions alone. In trading, in business and in relationships. So why do so many educational courses, stock trading books and online courses avoid this topic all together?</p>
  195. <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>
  196. <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>
  197. <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>
  198. <p>A Lesson From One of the Greats!</p>
  199. <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>
  200. <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>
  201. <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>
  202. <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>
  203. <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>
  204. <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>
  205. <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>

  224. <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>
  225. <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>
  226. <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>
  227. <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>
  228. <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>
  229. <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>
  230. <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>

  247. <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>
  248. <p>What makes color important for Website Design</p>
  249. <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>
  250. <p>Color Psychology &#8211; colors trigger emotions<br />
  251. 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>
  252. <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>
  253. <p>• Red Power, Love passion, danger exhilaration</p>
  254. <p>• Orange: fun, warmth, comfort, freedom, playfulness</p>
  255. <p>• White Peace, Clarity pure, purity, and cleanliness</p>
  256. <p>• Blue: calm, confidence peace, trust and logic, as well as reliability</p>
  257. <p>• Purple: luxury, sophistication, mystery, loyalty, creativity</p>
  258. <p>• Pink: gentleness, sincerity, nurturing, warmth</p>
  259. <p>• Green: health, nature, prosperity, abundance</p>
  260. <p>• Brown nature protection, security, support</p>
  261. <p>• Yellow: happiness, creativity, optimism, friendliness</p>
  262. <p>• The Black: class, control power, sophistication and depression</p>
  263. <p>Cultural Context<br />
  264. 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>
  265. <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>
  266. <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>
  267. <p>The Basics of Color Theory</p>
  268. <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>
  269. <p>Primary Colors: They are three in total &#8211; blue, red and yellow.</p>
  270. <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>
  271. <p>Tertiary Colors: These are colors made by mixing primary with secondary color.</p>
  272. <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>
  273. <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>
  274. <p>Color Models</p>
  275. <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>
  276. <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>
  277. <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>
  278. <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>
  279. <p>Making Color Palettes</p>
  280. <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>
  281. <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>
  282. <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>
  283. <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>
  284. <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>
  285. <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>
  286. <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>
  287. <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>
  288. <p>Effective Tools to Inspire</p>
  289. <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>
  290. <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>
  291. <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>
  292. <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>
  293. <p>Conclusion</p>
  294. <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>

  338. <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>
  339. <p>Back then, enterprising Americans rose to overthrow this economic dictatorship and eventually declared a free and independent country.</p>
  340. <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>
  341. <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>
  342. <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>
  343. <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>
  344. <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>
  345. <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>
  346. <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>
  347. <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>
  348. <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>
  349. <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>
  350. <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>
  351. <p>I sense that we&#8217;re close to that flash point again.</p>
  352. <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>
