Posted on January 30, 2011 in News
Cats have always been animals of great charm and pleasure by the people, since their beautiful stylized figure, beautiful eyes that express a look at times full of mystery, curiosity in others, but always very expressive in end the whole them away captive, but may be some cats that have features most beautiful, perhaps it is because that its found its origins in Egypt to nearby places, so it makes certain aspects of these cats in his time were representations of the gods of ancient Egypt, and one of those copies is the Abyssinian cat, which features beautiful and loving way of being immediately captivated who very likely will be his master. The Abyssinian cat like a lot of cats that have been present during many periods in history, has a past not very clear, but trying to make the most accurate approach to the origins of this wonderful and charming cat, is coming from ancient Abyssinia, now called Ethiopia, is expected to drop another ancient race itself of Egypt, as previously mentioned aspects are very similar to the cats of ancient Egypt, as is well known this kind of cats in ancient Egypt and the surrounding region of this African country. Despite this there are those who say the Abyssinian cat has its origins in Ethiopia, much less in Egypt, so there is another theory which argues that the Abyssinian cat is peculiar to England, result obtained from cats with marbled coats But being accepted the first theory. The Abyssinian cat was released in the world with the introduction of this cat to England by the army of Queen Victoria for the year 1892, later was accomplished the domestication of the race and the subsequent expansion of the number of copies in several places in the world. Leaving behind the past and into charming Abyssinian cat are more like physical characteristics, it is worth saying that all of its contour resembles that of a puma, but small scale, so, obviously has a very wild air interesting and captivating, but these wild characters do not take away his great elegance since it has a beautiful stylized figure, with a very flexible body and the presence of very well muscled, with regard to body measurements, has a medium size, very suitable for all their physical surroundings.

Another feature of great value in the Abyssinian cat's fur, which is called agouti, speaking in common terms, each hair has a different key, so going from a red or brown dark or black, with the special feature that the part that goes close to the body, gives hair a few shades lighter and part of the tip and with the advance, it is becoming darker, now is made a classification of the Abyssinian cat, depending on the hue of colors, so is the traditional that has a reddish color and the other has a deep red with chocolate brown tips.
Merida, Tourism And Culture
Posted on January 14, 2011 in News
Merida, capital of Yucatan, also known as the "White City" and named the American Capital of Culture in 2000 was built on the ruins of the Mayan people as you can still find some traces of past life in different areas of the city. The Center is the area most visited by foreign and local because it is home to most of the old buildings and representative of the city, many of them converted into and up, ranging from hostels which offer comfortable and colorful hammocks its guests to exclusive hacienda style boutique hotels or where perfectly combine the luxury and comfort. a It is also in the Centre where bases are concentrated in many business areas and it is a very popular area every day. However, in the evening when most shops start to close their doors, many s draw their tables and chairs on the sidewalks or even the streets and you can see a more bohemian (the streets surrounding the main park do not allow pass vehicles on weekends so you can easily walk on them, enjoy a coffee, listen to a trio or a Yucatecan trova or even dance to the beat of a musical group of some of the local restaurants that offer live music) A few blocks from Main Park also called Plaza Grande is the famous Lucas de Galvez market where people gather around to buy and sell all kinds of goods, worth mentioning that in this market also offers an array of sweets, especially in the Day of the Dead celebrations or Hanal Pixan (Food of the a NIMAS) as people usually put on their altars as an offering to their dead.
Costs

However, if the market is ripe hiciese, and was equivalent to that of yogurt today, competition would throw those prices down. And notice that I am not speaking here for any of the costs of production, simply a question of what stage the market is located. Therefore, in addition to costs, margins and competition, the company must ask what value the customer perceives that product in this format, in that location … Sometimes, if possible, it is appropriate to conduct a market survey to know how much they would pay customers for one such device. For example, the prestigious brand Lacoste started in the United States with prices below forty dollars, to fight the stiff competition that was there. But low margins that had made him lose its quality, which sales fell, which drove him to further reduce their prices … in 2001, gave a change to its policy and prices rose to more than seventy dollars, increasing its sales by 125%, and becoming a product image of exclusivity, as in Europe. When considering the cost must also be taken into account the cost structure, ie the ratio of fixed costs (not dependent on the production and / or sales) and variables, and marginal costs (to sell one more unit).
For example, chartered a bus with 50 televisions, and that carriage is worth me 500 euros, the cost of such transport is 10 euros per television. However, if you want to send an additional TV, no longer fits in my truck, I have to order an additional service that costs me 50 euros, and by a single TV! (Marginal cost). Another example is the carriers, which offer last minute deals. Why? For them, the cost of travel is about the same whether the plane carried 190 or 200 passengers. Therefore, to fill to its maximum capacity available, can perform this type of offers (would be better also for hotels, for example). A classic case of differentiation is offered by the no less classic Coca-Cola. Although the cost of production and distribution may be similar, it costs the same in Mexico than in Spain, for example. But even more, if I buy in the same city a can of 33 cl in a hypermarket, a neighborhood store, buy it in automatic, or ask at a restaurant, I am willing to pay different prices without any problem. Thus, in the hyper can cost me 0.80 and be like a high price, and yet at the restaurant I can pay 1.50, and think it is cheap!
Leadership Development
Posted on December 15, 2010 in News
What we are doing is very dependent on these teams and we have to avoid if we want to learn and be people of knowledge, but is well then you better not attend meetings because maybe there is someone else on the waiting list could not enter because you are there and this person could take advantage of this opportunity more than you, nothing good is a record of participation at that meeting whether to ask you do not know who said at the opening of the event. It was very frugal when I read about in this way, but we must be aware that the things were made and these teams were made to make life easier not hinder or disturbing others not to put them due attention.
I can tell you that all your fault is not because the speaker or instructor has his opportunity and the right to request the beginning of your presentation or simply turn off the equipment to set the rules while the game is present, should also have control of this event and if this allowed to happen is also bad because you are allowing your disrespectful to him and the rest of the participants. I confess that when I had the opportunity to have a laptop in my possession at the start would also all meetings and workshops with her, but that’s when I realized that you can not do everything at once, having this device in front of you and gives you caught the temptation of doing a thousand things, there comes a time in which I was one of the people who walked in all but the meeting, but one day take the decision not to carry or laptop, or leaves, or anything, just sit and pay attention to the instructor and believe me it gives much better results because the end so my attention was that comment when the attendees are certain things that I had points if he knew had been raised and they get in front of a laptop did not know at what time the subject was exposed.
Not having a laptop in a meeting do not believe me off value against the other, but rather because they respect your teammates that you have a non-distracting next to you, the instructor putting care and best of all, you learn a lot. If you have not having bothered with this article, as I say is my personal way of thinking and I hope to achieve get your attention if you’ve been in this situation that mentions the lack of attention and respect for others, and take the same decision I to put aside my great friend the laptop.
Self Help

In this article I will discuss three examples of problems. While the first two were not directly “my problems” if they were in an indirect way, because I was the manager of them. While the third issue that if it was exclusively mine site. Once raised these three “problems”, my aim is to compare and see how with a negative attitude they grow, while a positive attitude if we print these are solved with less collateral damage. To this point, you see what happens in the third case cited, the problems are “reclaiming”.
But there is another new concept that comes beyond the known to apply a positive or negative attitudes. I am referring to what I call “chains of problems.” In the three “problems” that I described today, the common denominator is that succession of problems that occur, some as a continuation of the initial problem, and sometimes as births of other problems while they have a kinship with the “first problem” have on the other hand, a dead weight that equals or even exceeds the former. Then made the first approach or introduction, I will narrate the three problems to be understood about what I’m talking about:
PROBLEM # 1 In an apartment I rented for 24 months (I have real estate) Tenant I notice that the water heater had started to leak from below. In light of this I told the owner (since I ran the collection of such location) that according to state water heater (it was pretty rusty on the outside of it), the best was to buy a new heater, because in my experience if it would be only temporary, and i would have to buy one later anyway.
Joaquin Sorolla

From above, reflected in the water, is the source itself, by the reflection of white bath sheet. White is not such but is full of colors: yellow, blue, lavender, aqua. Its composition follows a vertical where the figures, almost life-size, occupying almost the entire surface of the painting. She occupies the central axis, the center of our attention. But the youth is cutting just showing the face that almost looks out of the top corner. It is a work full of sweetness and sensuality.
Sorolla masterfully captures the sympathy and affection shown by young people in their gestures. If we focus on the rest of the guys can see the bewilderment of the young by failing to fasten the button while the young rascal tries to cover her friend but he covers his face, not looking the other way, it seems more want to peek. Sorolla manages to convey the relationship with the boys with great naturalness and freshness. The work is a hymn to the sun, but so is youth. The drawing of two figures (in the three compositions) is solid, firm, determined, and the color of the canvas is clear.
Sorolla harmoniously combines a series of spots (for the shadows, the foam of the waves) with the realization that they are built strong with the figures. It is a work of great size, but is a monumental work. Leaving the bath combines many features of the work of Sorolla, who joined the brave treatment bathroom of the two teenagers and acquired skill not only in the representation of the figures, but in the representation of solar flares on the objects and the fine sand of the beach and the sea, make this book one of the most relevant and representative of the whole painting by Sorolla. Joaquin Sorolla y Bastille was an exceptional genius. Early in his career he spent economically distressed by the poor condition of his family (orphan a few years). But he quickly began to make money with their canvases. And won a lot. It was a very prolific painter (more than two thousand one hundred seventy-five paintings and many other drawings) and received more than sixty-eight awards and accolades.
The Silage Process
Posted on November 16, 2010 in News
This process of silage should not exceed 4-6 meters to avoid undesirable fermentation and nutrient losses. At the conclusion of this process should be converted into the gully silo as shown in Figure B, as Figure A shows how the crop should be left, or crop residues located within the gully. AB Carcava forage layers of earth and stone layer to put pressure on the forage, the most recommended is to use stones of different sizes because the land due to drag can be lost. Stones of different sizes is important to note that the rocks are located at the bottom of the gully will be For a silage in perfect condition, and also to taste on the palate must be greater additives added to it such as: fermentation stimulants such as honey, flour, roots or tubers, sugars and others. It is important for this process is taken into account the level of sugar in the plant, depending on this it should be applied more or less sugar (honey), molasses, cereals, which will allow this process would be beneficial. The physical product will remain unchanged silage additives as previously mentioned are: the color is darker than the original forage.
Characteristic odor due to the presence of acids, which give a pleasant smell. The flavor depends on the kind of fermentation produced, since a good silage is rich in lactic acid and acetic acid silage communicated to it a pleasant taste and stimulating. The volume reduction is due to the expulsion of air and chemical changes that occur with evolution of carbon dioxide and water while reducing the amount of forage and increases the weight of the silage, varying according to the weight of column fodder that are upon them.
The Real Truth About Working Smarter, Not Harder
Posted on October 19, 2010 in News
Running a business or department can often a person stretch to the limit. To be effective in doing what you do best, it is imperative to look at the tasks you can delegate or outsource. Delegate This is an interesting word. For some people this means letting go completely of their responsibilities and get someone else to do the job. Now that is all very well if you train them about the way he has been handling those tasks. Show them how it was done first.
For many entrepreneurs and managers, the media delegation completely abdicate responsibility for a particular task to another without showing how. They expect the person to know? Immediately. Well, forget it. No wonder we hear often: “I tried to delegate that task, but nobody was as good as I do!” Or “I could not find the right person who was able to assume these responsibilities.” That’s an interesting comment. Often people are given responsibilities for which they have not had training and then expected to know how to perform these functions.
A great example of this is when a person is promoted to manager / team leader and he / she is automatically expected to know how to manage themselves and their people. Coming from outside What do you think the new kid on the block next to take the reins in one position, which has already been evacuated. They are expected to run the department or the company as if it has been working in the business over the past three years! Outsourcing When the car needs repair Do you spend hours trying to fix or to see a mechanic who takes two hours? Do you do your own taxes or accountant to prepare it for you? If you need a new assistant will put an ad in the newspaper, spend hours interviewing people or have a recruiting firm to do all the field work and send the three main candidates? Why waste your valuable time on tasks that will do exactly that?

Similarly, the media, therefore, are the ‘sources’ of the Flat offers: from the black board to separately set up Web services, students can now choose from a variety of possible offer platforms to be similar to the study selection, the pick for him or her most adapted .
