Use care when sharing personal information, adjust privacy settings to limit who can see your information, and turn off location sharing.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Use security software.

It is recognizing that struggle and pain are not all that’s there, even if they’re all we can see in a certain moment. It is seeing the good in people, even when we have to search (really, really hard) for it. And it is about trusting ourselves. I guess it all comes down to this: even with pain, sorrow, and evil, there is always good, and that, friends, is what we should focus our energy on.</div><div><br></div><div>On the contrary, negativity is about finding fault and worry in people and situations. It’s about focusing on the one thing that went wrong when a zillion others went right. And it’s about belittling people without attempting to see who they are. But what if our lives aren’t perfect? Should we pretend like our struggles don’t exist? No way Jose! I used to think that if I shared my hardships, people would think I was being negative. Then I realized that holding in all the bad stuff made me feel even worse. Instead of feeling free and optimistic, I felt trapped.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>REPEAT AFTER ME: BEING POSITIVE IS NOT ABOUT PROJECTING A PERFECT LIFE.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Rather, it’s about choosing to see the good in life, believing in the power of encouragement, and having hope that things will get better (even when they really, really suck).</div><div><br></div><div>Now to the good stuff. No matter where you’re at with choosing positivity, here are some tips for adding some optimism to your life, even when the world craps all over you. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>1. Listen to music that gives off the same mood you want to be in.</strong> Consider both the tone and type of music and also whether it brings back positive memories from the past. Music is indescribably powerful and using its voodoo magic to brighten up my day has always helped me immensely. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>2. Eat healthy.</strong> Recently, I’ve been eating healthier and drinking a lot of smoothies packed with nutrients and veggies. I can’t think of anything else to describe my recent mood besides blissful. It is honestly almost odd. I just feel really great each and every day.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://wooday.olanola.com/blog/43117957873/Southbourne-Positive-Living-Group:-15-Tips-for-Being-More-Positi">15 Tips for Being Positive</a> [via The Nectar Collective]</div><div><br></div><div><strong>3. Make a sunshine file or box.</strong> Often times, when people send me kind messages or letters, I save them as a screenshot, either in a file on my computer or in a box in my house. Besides the fact that I’m a hoarder collector, these messages are dear to me during times when I’m struggling or feel like I don’t matter to the world (we’ve all been there, right?).</div><div><br></div><div><strong>4. Surround yourself with positive influences. </strong>Find people who believe in you and your dreams. Seek out others who make your spirit feel full and lifted. The other people who bring you down? Decide for yourself if they really have a place in your life. If they don’t, have the courage to move on. For the record, anyone who makes you feel like crap about yourself does not have a place in your life.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>5. Practice positivity. </strong>By this, I’m talking about actively weaving positive activities into your life to little by little, change your mindset. Just the way a photographer eventually starts seeing the world in pictures, there are things we can all do to eventually see the world in a positive light. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>6. Set goals. </strong>Having goals to work towards can make us more positive. When we feel stagnant and unconfident, it’s a lot easier to see the bad parts of life. Start small, and remind yourself of all the great things you can accomplish. We love goals here at TNC and, have quite an archive of posts on goal-setting, if you’re interested.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>7. Challenge negative thoughts with positive ones.</strong> Negative thoughts are the very foundation of negativity and they can seem hard to avoid or erase. But negativity is all about mindset and mindset is all about creating habits. Whenever you think something negative, try to search for the bright side of the situation. Eventually it will feel like second nature. Also, this article is a wonderful resource for getting started and for understanding what positivity is in general. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>8. Smile.</strong> Simple enough, right? There are actually studies that have proven that just cheesin’ it up can make you happier and more optimistic.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>9. Get a pet.</strong> I know this tip isn’t for everyone, but getting a dog recently has done wonders for my sense of purpose and happiness. It is amazing what taking care of another being can do for ourselves.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>10. Share your issues.</strong> Letting your struggles bottle up inside is just a breakdown waiting to happen. If we share our hardships, we can receive encouragement from others that will help us re-focus on our strength, courage, and perseverance. This can be in a variety of ways, from calling a friend to writing a heart-felt blog post.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>11. Make your home a positive place to be.</strong> I mean, who feels inspired by hospital colored walls and a dirty kitchen? Try adding quotes that inspire you or little pick-me-up messages around your house. Coming home to a house that welcomes me with inspiration is like walking into the arms of a friend who squeezes you tight and reminds you how special you truly are. In case you’re up for a DIY challenge, you might like this positivity garland I made last month. It’s currently adorning my walls and reminds me of the nectar of life each time I see it.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>15 Tips for Being Positive [via The Nectar Collective]</strong></div><div><br></div><div><strong>12. Ask yourself –</strong> does this really matter? Usually when I find myself being negative, it’s over trivial things that won’t stand a chance in my long-term memory. So why do I let them get to me in the moment? Beats me! When my problems are trivial, I do my best to remind myself that they’re not important. And then I move on. </div><div><br></div><div><strong>13. Encourage others. </strong>Studies have proven that a lot of our happiness comes from making other people happy (but did you really need a study to tell you that?). If we build positive relationships and motivate other people, we feel good about ourselves, which builds confidence and leads to a positive perspective. Not to mention, it makes other people feel like the unique, special beings they are. Talk about a win-win!</div><div><br></div><div><strong>(Related: 5 Ways to Look and Feel More Confident)</strong></div><div><br></div><div><strong>14. Focus on the problems in your life. </strong>Well, kind of. What I really mean is that in order to be truly positive, we need to shed our negative skin instead of suppressing it. Sometimes, it’s best to recognize the negativity pervading our life, admit it, and then decide that it no longer has a place in our lives. Often, recognizing the problem is a vital part of the solution.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>15. Remember, it’s all you. </strong>I recently quit a job that brought out the absolute worst in me. I was depressed, negative, and kept telling myself, this isn’t you. I don’t really know who I thought it was, because it was most certainly me being rude and angry. It was later that I realized, it’s all me — the good and the bad. But that doesn’t mean it has to be all me, all the time. I still have a choice whether I want to choose positivity or negativity, kindness or anger. I always have a choice. And guess what?

Most people believe in this while others continue to pretend that pollution is not a problem to mankind. But a lot of major cities today always experience a smoky environment due to a lot of cars and other types of vehicles emitting exhaust fumes into the atmosphere.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Pollution could also cause harm to our health and each of us is vulnerable to its effects. But, you can still minimize the effects of exhaust fumes with a proper exhaust control.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">A good exhaust control has good effects that are helpful to the environment as well as to the car owners. This particular approach can first, reduce noise levels. Proper design and installation of an exhaust pipe system can minimize noise pollution where you can ask the help of a professional car service provider like <strong><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/y76pl3eic31tq34/Tyre%26Auto_Southbourne_Group_Review_-__The_Good_Effects_of_a_Proper_Exhaust_Control.pdf">Tyre&Auto Southbourne Group</a></strong> to do this specific task for you. A broken exhaust pipe could also lead to increased noise levels, so in case you're facing such concern, contact a car service provider immediately.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">A proper exhaust control also means that direct exhaust is away from the passengers since exhausts were designed at the tail end of a car, or raised high up to support the escape of exhaust fumes into the atmosphere. To assure a more stress-free ride, let a car service provider such as <strong>Tyre&Auto Southbourne Group</strong> check if there’s any clogging or leaks in your car.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">A good exhaust control also results in better engine performance. In case you notice a reduced power and performance in your car, then it could be due to a defective exhaust pipe since it decreases the engine's ability to maximize its burning capability. Inefficient disposal of the waste gases from the combustion process could also lead to a large percentage of lost in an engine's power.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">A proper exhaust control can lastly, make fuel consumption more effective since increasing the effectiveness of fuel consumption depends on proper burning. Furthermore, a decreased car mileage is due to a defective exhaust system; and having a faulty exhaust pipe system could pollute the environment as well as burn your money.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tyre&Auto Southbourne Group</strong> strives to always give excellent car service to their customers to help them take care of their cars as well as the environment. The company believes in the importance of being responsible for controlling the quantity and quality of exhaust fumes, and seeing significant value in the good effects of a proper exhaust control.</p><br/><br/>sugerido por: Elliott HaynesElliott Hayneshttps://sublime.userecho.com/users/86-elliott-haynes/topics/tag:sublime.userecho.com,2016-12-09:/communities/1/topics/143-south-bellmore-veterinary-group-general-orthopedic-surgery/2016-12-09T03:30:36+00:002016-12-09T03:30:36+00:00South Bellmore Veterinary Group General & Orthopedic Surgery [ideas] <p style="text-align: justify;"><img></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Our surgical suite is second to none.

That doesn’t mean investors will “unfriend” their professional financial advisors. Most still want the option of talking to a trusted financial confidante. For investment firms, the challenge is how best to combine digital, low-cost investment advisory services with the traditional approach.<br><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">It’s becoming clear that no single formula exists for how—and at what cost—traditional wealth managers should mix a digital experience into their designed client journey. Several brokerages have developed proprietary robo-advisory platforms in-house. Others have been acquiring existing robo-technology to build out their service, offering it as a white-label solution. Indeed, the sector has not lacked for deal-making activity as industry players hunt for the kind of technology they need to bag premium-paying procurers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">In February, for instance, <a href="https://mercurycapitaladvisors.com/">Mercury Capital</a> launched a pilot program in collaboration with Emotomy, leveraging the latter’s digital advice platform. That engagement is the latest of many industry marriages, which have also included RBC Wealth Management’s alliance with FutureAdvisor and Pershing’s partnership with Marstone, both of which are aimed at producing technology platforms for advisors. The commotion is not likely to stop there, as more and more incumbents sense the potential for automated advice-givers. The market can expect to see other asset management firms, as well as wealth advisors, find ways to get in on the robo-activity. Over the long term, such partnerships may expand to combine personal relationships and digital experiences customized for each client segment. While digital platforms will need time to scale, :</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Robo-advisors have broad appeal. Such partnerships indicate that the emerging hybrid model is aimed squarely at addressing a demographic beyond millennials. Even high net-worth clients, whose complex needs typically require human intervention, will want the option of</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">interacting with a digital wealth experience that guides them on their route from prospect to client. The dreaded baby boomer cohort isn’t retreating at the sight of the millennials. In fact, as members of the older generation succumb to retirement, their needs will grow more complex.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Millennials will serve as early adopters.The next generation of investors has been quick to embrace new technologies and experiences, and this should apply to robo-advisors. Furthermore, millennials have a general mistrust of large financial institutions, particularly in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008. Unlike their parents, who forged close relationships with advisors—even using their phones to have conversations with them, as primitive as that sounds—millennials are equally comfortable with making digital connections. They’ve been conditioned to accept that technology can match the performance of its human predecessors, while offering reduced fees and providing greater convenience.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Robo-advisors will gain popularity across all client segments. As machine-learning algorithms continue to develop and produce an investment record, consumers are likely to use these services more and more to complement their existing investment methods. As millennials mature—and their assets increase—they could very well tilt the balance toward more automation, which would be augmented at higher asset levels with a personal relationship.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Typical to any disruptive innovation in financial services, the first to market addresses the underserved. Robo-advisors like Betterment, Wealthfront, and Personal Capital did just that. But automated digital advice has clearly attracted the attention of incumbents. Established players are deploying a quick follow strategy through acquisitions and creating “me too” experiences that emulate disruptors. Scale and distribution matter, and the quick followers don’t need to get it perfect. What’s next? Differentiation. The leaders will need to design a unique digital experience integrated into the fabric of how they serve their clients that combines personal relationships with a digital experience.</p><br/><br/>sugerido por: pertkurt7pertkurt7https://sublime.userecho.com/users/93-pertkurt7/topics/tag:sublime.userecho.com,2016-12-01:/communities/1/topics/141-los-angeles-mk-news/2016-12-01T03:45:29+00:002016-12-01T03:45:29+00:00Los Angeles MK News [ideas] <p style="text-align: justify;">Regarding the end to Shanghai MK’s cooperative partnership</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">We regret to inform you that due to problems including with license renewals, Shanghai MK’s partnership with Hertz China will be terminated at the end of this year.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Hertz-MK will continue operations as one section within Hertz.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Therefore, any reservations beginning January of next year will be handled by Hertz China.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you very much for your patronage to MK hire service over the years.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">We kindly ask that you utilize Hertz China for your reservations in the future.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">WHEREVER YOU GO, TRUST THE HEART LOGO!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">One of Japan’s most appointed taxi groups is now raising the standards of car service in Southern California! <a href="http://www.tokyomk.com/en/">MK Group</a> has been providing Japan’s major cities with esteemed driving for over 50 years, earning high acclaim and demand as one of the most courteous companies in the country today.

Unfortunately, purchasing an auto dealer bond can be one of the most confusing parts of getting a dealer license. That's why we developed the following comprehensive guide to auto dealer bonding.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Surety bonds are designed to protect customers and the state from auto dealers that commit fraud. A surety bond will help ensure that your dealership will follow the car dealership legislation and regulations in your state.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">On this page you'll find a general overview of dealership surety bonds. For specific information about what type of surety bond you'll need and what documents you'll need to submit to satisfy the surety bond requirement of your dealership licensing process, please contact the appropriate motor vehicle agency in your state.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>General Surety Bond Requirements</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">As with other surety bond types, auto dealer bonds provide financial guarantees that help regulate the industry. Auto dealer bonds protect customers, sellers, financial enterprises, and/or government agencies. If a dealer commits fraud or conducts business in other unethical ways, the bond helps these entities recover from any resulting financial loss.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, having a surety bond gives your dealership credibility to both your customers and the appropriate agencies in your state.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Depending on where you work and what kind of dealership you plan to operate, you might need to file one of many different auto dealer bond types. Some common ones include:</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- DMV bonds.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- RV bonds.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- Motorcycle dealer bonds.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- Used car dealer bonds.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- Wholesale car dealer bonds.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;">No matter the specific name of the bond, they work in the same basic way. If a bonded motor vehicle dealer breaks the bond's terms, the wronged party (i.e. a customer, bank, or government agency) can make a claim against the bond to get compensation.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Vehicle Dealership Surety Bonds in Every State</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The state agency that is in charge of licensing auto dealers should tell you if you need a bond before you begin the application process. If you haven't been told that you need a bond, it's a good idea to contact the agency and make sure you don't need one. You might also take the time to learn more about the dealer licensing process in your state.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Generally, obtaining and filing a surety bond is a normal part of the dealer licensing process in every state.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cost of a Surety Bond for Your Dealership</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- The exact price you'll pay for a surety bond will vary for a few reasons, such as:</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- The required surety bond amount.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- Your application and financial credentials.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- If you choose to finance your bond premium.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">- Your credit score.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Generally, if your financial credentials qualify you for the standard market, your premium could be calculated as just 1% of the bond amount, which would only be $500 for a standard $50,000 bond. Conversely, dealers with poor credit could pay a premium that's a higher percentage of the bond amount. The best way to determine your exact surety bond cost is get a free price quote from a surety provider.</p><br/><br/>sugerido por: Quany PayneQuany Paynehttps://sublime.userecho.com/users/89-quany-payne/topics/tag:sublime.userecho.com,2016-11-08:/communities/1/topics/135-sc-advisors-engaged-by-city-of-orlando-for-major-stadium-renovation/2016-11-08T07:40:43+00:002016-11-08T07:40:43+00:00SC Advisors Engaged by City of Orlando for Major Stadium Renovation [ideas] <p style="text-align: justify;">SC Advisors has been engaged by The City of Orlando to serve as the Owner’s Advisor for the renovation of the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;">“<a href="http://www.sc-advisors.com/news.php">SC Advisors</a> will work closely with our partners, the <a href="http://www.sc-advisors.com/resources/FL_Citrus_Bowl.pdf">City of Orlando and Florida Citrus Sports</a>, to transform this historic stadium into one of the finest bowl venues in the country,” said Jay Berlinsky, founder and owner of SC Advisors. “We look forward to the challenge.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The project can be characterized as a re-build with the replacement of the entire lowerbowl seating structure, new premium seating areas, food service, concession facilities and overall general improvements.

The meaning of art is very broad with many answers. It is one component of culture that lets the artist express his feelings, thoughts and observation. Its concept is subjective, open and debatable.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p><p style="text-align: justify;">So how or when will you say that a piece of work is an art? Do you have the knowledge to distinguish good art from bad art? If not, then look for a fine art consultant and a prominent art gallery to help and guide you in buying art. <a href="http://hawkfieldgallery.com/">Hawkfield Gallery</a> consultants and its fine art consultants had established a good reputation in the art industry because of their knowledge and capability to recognize talented artists and worthy artworks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Hawkfield Gallery's massive art collection spans from the 20th to 21st century American visual arts. The gallery's fine art consultants provide quality service to people who are willing to sell or buy impressive artworks. They don't just focus on collectors; they work closely with first-time buyers too. Their wide experiences in buying and selling art have helped first-time buyers to start their own collection and to motivate those who want to enter the art industry.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Check out the website of <a href="http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/1181610">Hawkfield Gallery</a> or ask for an appointment with them. Their gallery is located in a shore town midway between Boston and Cape Cod, a place where you can see breathtaking landscapes. It is housed in an 1850's farmhouse and became a tearoom, craft shop and lending library in the 1920's. The farmhouse is located in an area beside the historic North River. Tourists can take a stroll along woodland trails which lead to a pier on the river.

The move by Which? means banks could now face a formal investigation into whether they can continue refusing to reimburse victims.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The organisation submitted its first supercomplaint this year in the same week that official data revealed that fraud in the UK payments industry had soared by 53% as criminals develop increasingly sophisticated tactics to steal bank customers’ cash.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Which? said banks should “shoulder more responsibility” when someone is conned into transferring money to another person’s account, just as they reimburse customers who lose money due to scams involving debit and credit cards or fraudulent account activity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Some customers have lost considerable sums. In March this year the Guardian featured the case of Sarah and David Fisher, who were conned out of £25,000 after a fraudster posed as their builder and emailed them a fake invoice that was virtually identical to the one they were expecting.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The explosion in <a href="http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/1177525">online and mobile banking</a> means UK consumers now make more than 70m bank transfers a month, compared with just over 100m in a whole year just a decade ago. Which? claims that “protections have not kept up”.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Using its legal powers, the organisation has submitted a supercomplaint to the Payment Systems Regulator, the watchdog for the UK’s £75tn payment systems industry, which must now respond within 90 days.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">There are many financial frauds that directly target customers, such as phishing emails and phone- and text-based scams. However, among the biggest growth areas are impersonation and deception scams where fraudsters hack into someone’s email account and then pose as the builder, solicitor, landscape gardener or other tradesperson that the consumer has legitimately employed. Typically, the victim receives an invoice via email, which does not rouse suspicion because they were expecting it. It looks authentic and is usually for the correct amount – however, unbeknown to the consumer, the bank account number and sort code have been changed to those of the fraudster.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">This is what happened to the Fishers, from north-west London. Last October they received a genuine invoice for building work that was being carried out, then what appeared to be a follow-up email from the same firm with a fresh invoice attached that included “our new banking details”. The couple duly paid the requested £25,000, and while it quickly emerged they had been scammed, by the time the bank that operated the account used to accept their money was alerted, the cash had been withdrawn.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Almost a year after the incident, they have yet to recover a penny of their money. Sarah Fisher, a record label manager, told the Guardian this week that the police had identified the fraudster as someone living in Denmark. As a result, the case was “not being progressed” and had effectively come to a halt.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">She added: “We took it to the financial ombudsman, who said that Barclays [which operated the account] had not behaved improperly.” However, she said their MP, Tulip Siddiq, had said the case raised important issues and intended to pursue the matter in parliament.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Victims conned in this way currently have no legal right to get their money back from their bank, said Which?. Banks typically refuse to refund customers on the basis that they made the payment voluntarily. However, Which? said: “Consumers can only protect themselves so far. People cannot be expected to detect complex scams pressuring them to transfer money immediately, or lookalike bills from their solicitor or builder.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The organisation said banks had invested in security systems to detect and prevent fraud where they were liable to reimburse the victim, but added: “There aren’t sufficient checks if someone is tricked into transferring money directly to another person’s account.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Which? said it wanted the regulators to formally investigate the scale of bank transfer fraud and how much it was costing consumers, and propose new measures and greater liability for banks to ensure consumers are better protected.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The Payment Systems Regulator confirmed that it had received the supercomplaint and said it would examine the evidence Which? had supplied and gather its own, “to build a clearer picture of the issue and decide a course of action”.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Possible outcomes might include regulatory action, a review or a referral of the complaint to another body.</p><br/><br/>sugerido por: Odbart NolandOdbart Nolandhttps://sublime.userecho.com/users/80-odbart-noland/topics/tag:sublime.userecho.com,2016-10-04:/communities/1/topics/124-frank-owens-contractors-groundworks-on-construction-projects/2016-10-04T08:14:12+00:002016-10-04T08:14:12+00:00Frank Owens Contractors: Groundworks on Construction Projects [ideas] <p style="text-align: justify;">Our fascination with dirt during our childhood now plays a big role in making a living.

Not every business rely on location for the success of their business. If you depend on customer contact in a retail setting, then be in a place that is accessible to your customers because it could affect the success (or failure) of your business.You may choose a location that offers a peaceful environment if you don't see clients that much. Your staff will be more focused to do their tasks with serene surroundings. Creating a home office is also advisable to save on operating costs and provide potential tax savings if you're not expecting visits from your customers and don't have any employees in site. </p><p><br></p><p>Size is also an important factor to consider, based on <a href="https://lenypark3r.wordpress.com/tag/bacall-development/"><span style="">reviews gathered by Bacall Development and its associates</span></a>. See to it that the property fits perfectly to the kind of business you have. To avoid added expenses because of retrofitting, make sure that the place has been outfitted with wiring to complement your communication and electrical needs. You should know the zoning ordinances of the place as well. </p><p><br></p><p>Even though the location has high rent but is accessible to your potential customers and meets the needs of your business, then it is perfect for the growth of your enterprise. It's good for a retail business owner to place its business near similar businesses according to reviews. Ensure that the property offers comfort and safety to your customers. </p><p><br></p><p>You can find affordable properties through courthouses and get a list of business closings or property foreclosures. Consider different alternatives as well such as buying a lot and have control over the construction and design, leasing a build-to-suit, and renting an existing space. </p><p><br></p><p>Consulting a real estate broker can help you find a commercial property and lessen your options. If there are places that interest you, better visit them in person to assess some issues that may affect your business such as competition, traffic, and overall convenience. </p><p><br></p><p>But if you're not the type that likes to go in different places by foot, you can search available properties online through real estate websites. <a href="http://kaivaughn.typepad.com/blog/2016/08/bacall-development-the-advantages-of-build-to-suit-construction.html">Bacall Development</a> wants you to act quickly in case you already found the right one for you and your business because a good commercial property does not stay available for long.</p><br/><br/>sugerido por: Paul D.

The interviewee got out his lighter and set fire to the interviewer’s newspaper. It’s not an action we would advise emulating, but very definitely comes under the heading of utterly incomprehensible interview questions. </p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Why do these questions get asked?</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p>"Why do these questions get asked" is a tricky question to answer, but as it appears to have started in Silicon Valley during the tech boom its roots are likely to be found in the free-thinking, mould-breaking philosophy that many of the tech pioneers applied to their businesses. </p><p>Ultimately for some interviewer it’s about unearthing someone who offers more than just “can you do the job”. Wall Street soon followed suit and the practice has become more commonplace. The question for most of us is not why are they asked but how do I answer them?</p><p><br></p><p>First and foremost you should remember there isn’t a right answer, depending on the nature of the question, which these questions are about your thought processes, your coolness under pressure, your personality and your approach to problem solving. What you don’t do is say, “I don’t know”, or “that’s a good question” and stare off into space. Let’s take the question: “How many cricket bats are there in the world?” You could either pluck an answer out of thin air: “Three million?”, or go about figuring out how to work it out. “Well, if the population of the sporting public in the UK is X, and a tenth of them play cricket, then that’s XX for the UK, plus another X for the cricketing population in India…” etc. This is the sort of approach the employer would be looking for.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Five types of questions you might encounter</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p>1. Lots of these questions fall along the lines of if you were a colour/an animal/a garden gnome/a car/a food/a computer application (yes, really) what one would you be and why? Try to think of the qualities of the object and how they might relate to your skills or character.</p><p><br></p><p>2. What are all the different uses you can think of for a lemon? Apparently asked during an interview for an airline pilot, this type of question is designed to find out how much of a creative thinker you are.</p><p><br></p><p>3. Who would you invite to a dinner party/what superhero/movie character would you be/who is your role model? In other words, what character traits do you most admire in other people and why? Think about what specific things they have achieved and what it is about those achievements that you admire so much.</p><p><br></p><p>4. How many people will be on Facebook in New York on a Friday afternoon? There are a raft of questions that are much more technical in nature and much more aligned to the role you are seeking. This question was aimed at a marketing executive, and was probing how well they understand the use of social media around the world.</p><p><br></p><p>5. Tell me a story. This is a firm favourite, and represents a golden opportunity for you to tell a work-related anecdote that is also relevant to the role in question and also illustrates how you see other people and the world around you.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Preparation, preparation, preparation</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p> </p><p>This is the <a href="http://www.huxley.com/insights-news/news-features/top-5-bizarre-interview-questions-and-how-to-answer-them">key to a good interview</a>. However, these questions are not something that you can easily prepare for. If your job is a technical one, brush up on your technical knowledge. If it’s a creative role, keep a clear head and try to analyse how you would approach some of these types of questions. Above all, expect the unexpected!</p><br/><br/>sugerido por: Monty KennarMonty Kennarhttps://sublime.userecho.com/users/62-monty-kennar/topics/tag:sublime.userecho.com,2016-08-15:/communities/1/topics/102-metropolitan-wireless-international-mobile-solutions-in-modern-times/2016-08-15T07:52:13+00:002016-08-15T07:52:13+00:00Metropolitan Wireless International: Mobile Solutions in Modern Times [ideas] <p style="text-align: justify;">We currently live in a world where almost everyone else has their own smartphone, laptop or tablet.

The high energy costs hurt the region’s businesses and its residents, hampering job creation and making it harder for people to improve their lives.</p> <p>Soaring electricity rates have long burdened Central America, as the region is highly dependent on imported fossil fuel and at the mercy of fluctuating oil prices. At the same time, rising demand is putting pressure on the region to expand its capacity to generate electricity. It is crucial that the region develop alternate power sources to lower costs, ease the reliance on fuel imports, and reduce carbon emissions.</p><p><br></p> <p>To tackle this challenge, <a href="https://wooday21.wordpress.com/2016/08/11/international-financial-corporation-securities-regulatory-commission-world-bank-group-on-changing-the-energy-landscape-in-central-america/">IFC</a> has supported private sector developers and financed a series of projects in the region—building on our decades of experience in supporting electricity generation, transmission, and distribution upgrades in developing countries.</p><p><br></p> <p>The latest one is AES Colón—Central America’s first integrated plant that generates power from liquefied natural gas. In July, we completed a $150 million financing package for the construction and operation of the 380-megawatt plant, which will help mitigate the risk of electricity shortages while introducing a clean, cost-effective, and reliable energy source</p><p><br></p> <p><strong>CUTTING CARBON EMISSIONS</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p> <p>Natural gas—a cheaper and cleaner alternative to fossil fuels—holds great potential as a source of energy in Central America. The region currently relies on heavy fuel oil and diesel for over 40 percent of its installed generation capacity.</p><p><br></p> <p>Over the past decade, Central America struggled to get natural gas projects off the ground. These plants demand large investment, and the energy markets in the region were not big enough to attract investors. As a whole, Central America has roughly the same capacity to generate electricity as Colombia, further south.</p><p><br></p> <p>IFC is helping to change that. Located on Panama’s Atlantic coast, AES Colón includes an onshore terminal where liquefied natural gas is regasified to feed the power plant. The facility is sponsored by AES Corporation and Panama-based Motta Group.</p><p><br></p> <p>By its third year of operation, AES Colón is expected to generate 2,100 gigawatt hours of power which would otherwise be produced using heavy fuel and diesel. This will represent a reduction of about 1 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year—the equivalent of taking more than 200,000 cars off the road. Once operational, the project is expected to reduce Panama’s carbon dioxide emissions by about 4 percent.</p><p><br></p> <p>In addition to reducing carbon emissions, natural gas complements renewable energy by ensuring a steady supply of clean power that is able to balance the inherent variability of wind and solar energy.</p><p><br></p> <p><strong>POWER FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p> <p>Since 2010, IFC has supported the implementation of over 900 MW of new renewable energy capacity in Central America, including 215 MW of wind and 215 megawatt-peak of solar photovoltaic projects, helping offset a slowdown in the construction of hydropower projects in the region.</p><p><br></p> <p>In Panama, we have provided a $300 million financing package for the Penonome wind power plant, the largest wind farm in Central America. The project is expected to generate the equivalent to 5 percent of the country’s total energy demand. In Honduras, we have recently supported three of the first large-scale grid-connected solar projects in the country.</p><p><br></p> <p>In Costa Rica, the Reventazón 305-MW hydropower plant we are supporting will bring light to half a million homes. In recent years, we have also financed a 72-MW geothermal plant in Nicaragua and 123 MW of run-of-the-river hydroelectricity projects in Panama and Honduras—where little or no water storage is necessary.</p><p><br></p> <p>From Panama to Costa Rica through Nicaragua and on to Honduras, new renewable and clean-energy projects are helping transform Central America’s energy landscape and demonstrate that the region can develop the power infrastructure it needs to grow sustainably.</p><br/><br/>sugerido por: Yair WoodYair Woodhttps://sublime.userecho.com/users/17-yair-wood/topics/tag:sublime.userecho.com,2016-07-28:/communities/1/topics/99-pro-axia-consultants-business-consulting-group-japan-company-policy/2016-07-28T00:06:31+00:002016-07-28T00:06:31+00:00Pro Axia Consultants Business Consulting Group Japan Company Policy [ideas] <p style="text-align: justify;">We, customer satisfaction, a relationship of trust with our customers in the first we will offer the service.
