			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Grease, silicone, RTV mold inhibitor compound liquid splash rust marking liquids, hot glue. All these materials have one thing in common: they are on a daily basis in many industries in the U.S., often with very different success. Our company works with these liquids regularly for a variety of customers. In the past six years, we have a great deal about the distribution systems and how they apply to study the needs of our customers&#8217; needs. Here are some important elements to consider when faced with your next application distribution.<br />
<span id="more-963"></span><br />
High or low pressure?<br />
Lag time pressure than<br />
Closing the loop with a flow meter</p>
<p>High or low pressure?</p>
<p>The viscosity (usually measured in centipoise) of our media determine the pressure needed to move it. For example, the distribution of points cyanoacrylate (Super Glue will not need) more than 50-10 PSI, while the flange sealant (RTV) 2000 PSI or greater need. The exact pressure required is not really important, as components are covered for most applications. The important thing is to not to mix high and low components. Seems to be obvious, is not it? Unfortunately, we see every day.</p>
<p>Lag time pressure than</p>
<p>The accuracy and consistency of your application will ultimately determine your choice of equipment, and therefore the <a href="http://www.moodyformayor.com/office-name-plates.html">distribution method</a>. In many applications where absolute consistency is not required, one of the simplest methods of distribution is &#8220;time pressure.&#8221; As the name suggests, the &#8220;time pressure&#8221; includes opening a valve or a diaphragm for a certain distribution of the liquid at a certain pressure. This theory states that the repeated opening of the valve itself, with the same liquid, at the same pressure, while the same time, yield similar amounts of fluid delivery. In particular, the valve, the trigger mode, and the repeatability of the controller or PLC can, consistently, this method actually produced results surprising. Applications, including large quantities of materials such as the management of a bead, filling a container or no glue or spray or grease, very well to this method. The main components are the valve, pump or pressure pot and the clock, often a controller.</p>
<p>Applications that rely on a critical level of control or other liquid adhesive for a stronger claim. The use of lubrication points, certain amounts of glue, or the exact amount of a compound those are examples of positive displacement (PD) distribution equipment is applicable. PD is to fill a room with a medium and then to move with the air pressure or other force on the downstream part of the media. This room panels and a series of check valves or stop isolation are the main liquid supplied from the party and the force of the liquid on specific packages or travel. combined size of the main part of a fine mechanical adjustments may be the volume of displacement to the needs of the particular application requirements.</p>
<p>Closing the Loop-Flow</p>
<p>When the process is absolutely necessary, or if the customer demands, it may be necessary to verify the actual amount of fluid dispensed through the use of a meter. A meter is a device that translates into a flow of fluid into electrical output signal. This signal is usually pulse output or analog. Some examples of Coriolis flowmeters displacement, turbine, ultrasonic and Doppler. Each is a different concept and is designed for a specific application. Volume (gallons / DC in comparison), flow (continuous vs intermittent) and viscosity (thick vs. thin), the type of the counter to influence fits your particular job.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your maintenance budget for the current operating year has a taken a hit, you may be wondering how to get a commercial painting project accomplished along with everything else. Two possible solutions to project budgeting are purpose driven spending and changing the contracting process.<br />
<span id="more-849"></span><br />
Purpose Driven Spending</p>
<p>The most common view of a painting project is simple maintenance and facilities up-keep. Justifying painting and coating projects as preventative maintenance is relatively easy because the surface treatment can prevent damages to the underlying structure. If the budget separates preventative maintenance funds from operating costs, you could package the painting project according to its true purpose to get the funding.</p>
<p>However, painting and coating can be a lot more than simple up-keep. In a retail setting, the appearance of a structure can a have a direct impact on the amount of business the facility is able to attract. If the current <a href="http://www.moodyformayor.com/google-adsense-business-models.html">maintenance budget</a> cannot support a painting project, perhaps the marketing budget could.</p>
<p>Changing the Contracting Process</p>
<p>As a commercial painting budget solution, changing the contracting process may seem like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. However, the savings from a new way of administering contracts can be significant, especially if your facility does a lot of outsourcing.</p>
<p>Many large organizations adapt a job order contracting system (JOC ) to handle their contracting process. A JOC system is a type of indefinite demand and indefinite quantity contracting system which relies of pre-defined base prices for services. Contractors bid by multiplying the base prices by a selected co-efficient.</p>
<p>JOC systems are often used by schools, government agencies and other organizations to streamline their contracting process. The real savings come from reduced advertising costs, reduced administrative needs, and a quicker RFP to finished project time.  According to a white paper published by Centennial Contractors Enterprise, Inc., the savings associated with a JOC system can be up to 21 percent of standard costs.</p>
<p>The advantage of a JOC system is that once in place to cover a painting project, the system is equally applicable to virtually every other outsourced aspect of facilities budgeting.  However, if you are not currently using a JOC system, you should strongly consider hiring an expert consultant to help you implement the program.</p>
<p>Final Words</p>
<p>Facility budgets are not likely to increase anytime soon, so creative solutions are a must to find room in the budget for commercial painting, construction and maintenance projects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most preferred structure for building designers across America is the steel building. It is recognized for its ease of erection, design flexibility, and cost efficiency. As a result, the growing demand for steel has delivered increasing innovation in the steel building industry. This growing trend among building developers is detailed below.<br />
<span id="more-843"></span><br />
The majority of developers of retail stores like the incredible speed and systematic ease in which steel buildings are assembled and the overall lower price of construction. Numerous building design alternatives are available to you&#8211;even on the strictest of construction budgets. These savings can later be transferred to the patron. A great number of owners are remodeling their current properties or raising a new structure with steel. By far steel is cheaper than other means of construction, such as wood.</p>
<p>The innovations in steel building designs streamline the planning process of almost any combination of structural, roofing, and facade applications. Steel roofing comes in a variety of styles, including standing seam applications, and can be painted with your choice of colors and designed with parapets and mansards in any required pitch. The clear span frame, another popular option, can reach up to three hundred feet in width, have almost unlimited length capabilities, and requires no walls or columns to allow your store all of the necessary space it requires in an unobstructed and adaptable environment.</p>
<p>You can appreciate a cheaper cost of labor. Typically, a small amount of professional assistance is necessary. In fact, with regards to smaller structures there are times even when no professional aide whatsoever is needed. The majority of steel structures can be put together quickly, yet with systematic precision with the cost-effectiveness of a single work crew (with some exceptions from local labor costs).</p>
<p>Steel building advances have also created improved wind resistance, enhanced steel roofing systems, and amenities such as ridge vents, skylights, and louvers. Despite the climate and surrounding building codes, a pre-engineered steel building can be built to withstand most any conditions. Additionally, a steel building in a heavy snow or rain region will faithfully provide a secure and safe work-area for your employees as well as your customers because of its tight connections.</p>
<p>Innovations in energy conservation technology has enhanced greatly in recent years to make it more cost-effective and help reduce energy costs. The &#8220;smart&#8221; pre-engineered steel building engineering will save your business money through its capability to effectively and dependably conserve both heat and air. A completely insulated pre-fabricated steel building can out-perform lumber-based structures and maintain a constant temperature year-round for far less money. The attractive choice for today&#8217;s retail store owner and the best choice for tomorrow&#8217;s <a href="http://www.moodyformayor.com/are-ffa-pages-a-marketing-resource.html">business</a> needs is the steel building.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An FFA page is a free for all page. Its operation is very simple. You submit one line of text to the page and when other people see it, they pick up the link and go through to your page. The concept sounds very simple, and it would be if it actually did what you wanted it to do. Which is generate traffic consisting of interested buyers instead of generating a huge load of emails from people just like you who are trying to promote a product. The truth is that for most people, FFA pages have not produced the returns on income necessary for me to be able to recommend FFA&#8217;s as something you should put your money into with high expectations of return.<br />
<span id="more-816"></span><br />
There are a number of reasons why this form of advertising has not promoted much for its users. First, your ad is one line among hundreds or thousands of one line ads. On top of this the few people who might see this page are the other advertisers who have submitted ads to this page, not shoppers looking for your product.</p>
<p>Another problem with FFA pages are they are usually designed to scroll. As new information is added the older information is advanced off of the page and out of sight. Before FFA pages were as popular as they are now, your line of advertising may have been visible for a day. That is why the FFA hosts had instructed you to submit your information to the FFA page daily. Today, now that FFA pages are a dime a dozen, your submission may be scrolled out in as little time as half an hour. This in turn means that you have to go and submit your information again and again throughout the day. However, you still have the first problem to deal with. People who look at FFA pages are there to sell, not <a href="http://www.moodyformayor.com/choosing-an-office-chair.html">buy</a>.</p>
<p>A third problem with FFA pages are that sites known to advertise on them are in a number of instances either banned or ignored by the search engines. The search engines look at FFA pages as a page filled with irrelevant links, and whenever a search engine is aware of an FFA page it avoids that page whenever it can. The goal of search engines is to look for information/links that is highly regarded as helpful by other users, to pass on to their current users, and FFA pages produce links without producing the high quality information that the search engines are looking for. As a result, instead of giving you credit for your link, the search engines penalize URL&#8217;s that come from known FFA sites.</p>
<p>You see the people who run FFA pages are just a little bit ahead of the game than the FFA page submitter. The first thing you are asked to do on an FFA page is to register your email address. This way the user has your information and is able to promote his products to you at will. So the ones to benefit most from FFA pages are the ones who actually host the page.</p>
<p>So are FFA pages a waste of your time? Maybe they are, maybe they are not. If you go there as an advertiser, it may be a huge waste of time. But if you go there as the FFA site host, you may have just hit the jackpot. When FFA users sign up to post their information on your FFA site, you will advise them that when they post to the site they also have to agree to get emails from you as well. Herein lies your opportunity to promote, and herein lies the way you can probably take best advantage of using FFA pages and sites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you have a new or growing business? If you do, sooner or later you will need business financing. Of course, if you are like most business owners, your first inclination might be to look for a business loan. Unfortunately, business loans can be very hard to get, take weeks to set up and don’t fit too well with most businesses. You might be better off looking for alternative business financing products.<br />
<span id="more-809"></span><br />
I am going to discuss two alternative business financing products. As opposed to the traditional business loan, they are easy to obtain, can be set up in days, and they grow as your business grows.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Invoice Factoring</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If your biggest business financing challenge is that you have clients who take as long as 60 days to pay their invoices, then the solution is to factor your invoices. Factoring, or invoice factoring as it is often called, accelerates your clients’ invoice payments and gets you paid in about 2 days. Factoring does not involve changing your customers’ payment habits, but rather, financing your slow paying invoices through a factoring company. With factoring, you can capitalize on your invoices and get the funds you need to meet payroll and pay suppliers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Purchase Order Financing</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are a reseller or wholesaler and your biggest challenge is that you cannot afford to pay your suppliers, then purchase order <a href="http://www.moodyformayor.com/moving-past-fear-to-small-business-success.html">financing</a> is the best tool for you. Purchase order financing provides you with the necessary funds to pay your suppliers (usually by a letter of credit). This enables you to buy the goods to fulfill your orders and make the sale.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both purchase order financing and invoice factoring can be obtained from a factoring company (rather than a bank). Both solutions are very affordable, but they work best when the business has profit margins of 15% or more.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, if you own a business that needs financing, be sure to look at these non-traditional business financing tools.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">You may be one of the many people looking for home business opportunities. There are several million people working at home today and a number of them are using their computers to make money. The Internet has opened up a new market to sell services and products worldwide.<br />
<span id="more-794"></span><br />
You can be in charge of your future and have a successful business while working at home. There are moms who would like to stay at home with young children but still contribute to the family income. Even early retirees can find a new job to give them income and a new opportunity in life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You may be someone who would like to <a href="http://www.moodyformayor.com/container-sales-involves-more-than-container-sales.html">work at home</a>. You won&#8217;t have to worry about an alarm clock, commuting drive, or an annoying boss.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Be Your Own Boss</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the biggest advantages of home business opportunities is that you can be your own boss. You don&#8217;t have to work specific hours every day and in many cases, the hours are only part-time. You can usually set your own schedule and work as little or as much as you desire.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are different ways to make money on the Internet. You can work for yourself by selling services or unique products. You can set up your own website or advertise on other sites. You can also work for other people and leave the organization and management to someone else but still be an independent employee.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many people have tried different schemes to make money on the Internet or to work at home. It is important to examine companies that promise great rewards when you sell for them. Some require hard selling and multi-level marketing where only those at the top of the chain win. These often do not work out as they are promoted. This is especially discouraging if a large investment has been made.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">What comes to your mind when you hear the term container sales? Probably you think of a shop stacked with all kinds of containers like pet bottles, paper cartons, tin cans, and all the other containers you store stuff in. In this article, however, we discuss another type of container, the shipping container carried by large trailers that you see on the road and at dockyards.<br />
<span id="more-764"></span><br />
These containers come in numerous varieties. There are the plain 20&#8242;x8&#8242;x8.5&#8242;, 40&#8242;x8&#8242;x8.5&#8242; and 45&#8242;x8&#8242;x9.5&#8242; popular sizes, and half sizes and custom sizes. There are dry van containers used to pack cartons, sacks, bales, etc; reefer containers that have climate control facilities; bulktainers used to ship bulk materials or heavy machinery; tank containers used to pack liquids and dangerous stuff; roll-on containers  into which difficult-to-handle cargo can be rolled in and out; and so on.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The abovementioned items are all shipping containers that require certification under the Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) as standardized by International Maritime Organization (IMO). This certification testifies to the suitability of the containers for &#8220;continued safe handling and transportability in the commercial intermodal transport environment&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Container sellers can sell you new or used containers with CSC certification. But container sales are not restricted to shipping containers. We look at some of the offerings you will find at container sales yards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Storage Containers</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These are containers that might have been retired from shipping functions. They could also be from the large quantities of empty containers that tend to accumulate at places where inward flow of containers always exceed outward flow. This happens because there are more imports than exports, and it is uneconomic to ship empty containers back.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Such surplus containers are excellent for storage of household articles, boats, equipment, or anything else you want to store. Self-storage facilities use containers extensively as they offer closed spaces that can be under the lock and key of the hirer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Container Houses, Offices and Shops</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Container sales companies typically offer remodeled containers for various purposes. One major use is as temporary or longer-term living accommodation. The containers are fitted out inside to provide livable interiors with windows and doors, and living facilities like fold up beds and furniture, kitchen units, toilets and storage shelves. Power can be made available through solar panels and equipment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Instead of fitting out for living accommodation, the containers can also be fitted out as offices, canteens, market stalls or for other similar functions. It is also possible to incorporate a multi-level structure, either by having smaller levels or by stacking containers over one another.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One major advantage of container houses, offices and shops is their mobility. They can be easily moved around using trucks with container handling equipment. You can thus move the living quarters to different <a href="http://www.moodyformayor.com/instant-income-with-road-map-to-riches.html">worksites</a>; your market stalls to different markets or entertainment venues, and so on.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We have seen only a sampling of how containers can be modified and converted for different kinds of uses. The possibilities are huge, and if you want any kind of structure that can be easily moved around, or accommodated in a compact space, container modification could be your answer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you love the thought of handling the financial books for your business? For most of us, unless you do bookkeeping for a living, the answer to that question is probably no.<br />
<span id="more-748"></span><br />
How much time does it take you on either a daily or weekly basis to handle this task? If you are finding it is taking too much time away from what your focus should be, it may be time to consider hiring someone to help.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are a few signs that it may be time to hire a bookkeeper:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1) You loathe the thought of even opening your <a href="http://www.moodyformayor.com/ways-to-get-to-the-truth-when-the-sale-disappears.html">financial</a> software program.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2) You find yourself in the office way past your normal working hours tackling bookkeeping issues.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3) Your frustration level grows higher each time you work on your books.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4) At tax time you stumble to get your paperwork together for your accountant or CPA.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes it&#8217;s better to free up your time for those things that are more important to you and to the success of your business. Listen to your inner wisdom, and if/when the time is right and your budget will allow, hire someone to take off the pressure. Your peace of mind will be well worth it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">You&#8217;re close, really close, to making a sale. Your  potential client is in the market for your product or service and you&#8217;ve had a couple of good meetings.<br />
<span id="more-722"></span><br />
Have you been in this situation before?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course you have&#8211;we all have, and it&#8217;s painful. So, can you keep from getting dropped? Yes&#8211;With the Unlock The Game™ Mindset, you can abandon the salesperson role and come from a place of integrity that stems directly from your personal brand that doesn&#8217;t compromise your authentic self. This opens communication with your potential clients so you can learn the truth about their situation&#8211;and that&#8217;s what you always want.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These suggestions will help:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t assume the sale. Potential clients are used to the traditional buyer-seller relationship, so they may decide not to tell you things that might make them vulnerable to you. Until you&#8217;re sure you know the complete truth, you can never assume the sale.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Keep making it easy for potential clients to tell you their truth. Toward the end of your conversation, ask, &#8220;Do you have any more questions?&#8221; If potential clients say no, follow up with the 100-percent-final truth-gathering question: &#8220;Now, are you 100 percent sure that there&#8217;s nothing else that I can do on my end to make you feel more comfortable with this situation?&#8221; You&#8217;ll be amazed how often people then say, &#8220;Well, actually, there is one more issue&#8230;&#8221; And it&#8217;s at that point that you really start to hear their truth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Call back to get the truth, not close the sale. Most potential clients who suddenly &#8220;disappear&#8221;  will be expecting you chase them down by calling them and saying, &#8220;Hi, I was just wondering where things are at?&#8221; Instead, eliminate all sales pressure by telling them that you&#8217;re okay with their decision not to move forward, based on their not having called you back. In other words, take a step backward. Most of the time, it&#8217;ll open the door to a new level of open, trusting <a href="http://www.moodyformayor.com/thriving-business-heavy-transport.html">communication</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Reassure potential clients that you can handle a &#8220;no.&#8221; Of course we&#8217;d rather not hear a &#8220;no.&#8221; But the only way to free yourself and your clients from subtle sales pressures is to let them know that it&#8217;s not about the sale but about the best choice for them&#8211;and if that means no sale, it&#8217;s okay, because it&#8217;s ultimately not about you but about them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ask for feedback. Whenever potential clients &#8220;disappear,&#8221; call them back (e-mail them if you have to, but only as a last resort because dialogue is always better) and simply ask, &#8220;Would you please share your feedback with me as to how I can improve for next time? Now that our sales process is over, I&#8217;m committed to understanding where I went wrong.&#8221; This is not being feeble or weak &#8212; it&#8217;s being humble, which often triggers the truth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t try to &#8220;close&#8221; a sale. If your intuition tells you that the sales process isn&#8217;t going in the direction it should be going &#8211; which is always toward greater trust and truth&#8211;trust those feeling. Then, make it safe for potential clients to tell you where they stand. It&#8217;s simple&#8211;all you have to say is, &#8220;Where do you think we should go from here?&#8221; (But be prepared: you might not want to hear the truth of how they&#8217;re feeling. You can cope with this by keeping your larger goal in mind, which is always to establish that the two of you have a &#8220;fit.&#8221;)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Give yourself the last word. Eliminate the anxiety of waiting for the final calls that will tell you whether the sale is going to happen&#8211;instead, schedule a time for getting back to each other. This eliminates chasing. Simply suggest, &#8220;Can we plan to get back to each other on a day and at a time that works for you&#8211;not to close the sale, but to simply bring closure regardless of what you decide. I&#8217;m okay either way, and that&#8217;ll save us from having to chase each other.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You&#8217;ll find that these suggestions make selling much less painful because, with Unlock The Game™, you learn to focus on the truth instead of the sale.</p>
