Perpetual Travelers

You make my heart sing an ancient love song,
And I know that with you is where I belong.

Your sweet gentle touch sends thrills my body over,
No one else in this world could ever be my lover.

Your strong arms around me, shielding from all harm,
Darling, no man possesses one-tenth of your charm.

All the wrongs in my life you transmuted into right,
And all the darkness in life has suddenly turned bright.

The tender warmth of true love, in me you revive,
Feelings once dead have come back alive.

Your essense is as lovely as the graceful yellow rose,
With you I find the solace of romantic repose.

As long as I live; until the day I expire,
You will always remain my only desire.

The love that I have and the feelings of joy,
No power on earth could ever destroy.

As I appreciate the elegance and beauty of each flower,
So I cherish you honey, each moment of every hour.

The surge of the great waters in the Pacific Ocean,
Doesn’t compare to your stirring of my loving emotions.

Emotions, once damaged and resolutely inert,
Suppressed and repressed to avoid further hurt,

Dear heart, these emotions you have somehow unleashed,
And all the love I have for you will never decrease.

To a woman who through life had only been drifting,
Your devotion and passion has been truly uplifting.

So I have no ambition, no goals or endeavors,
Except to love and prize you, now and forever.

And know that there’s nothing you ever had to do.
You won my love honey, by being simply you.

Well apparently it is okay to march in protest in the streets of America and carry a Mexican Flag on a Communist Holiday. Now it is okay to Burn the American Flag in the streets of our cities. It is okay to trash on the traditions and the graves of our fore fathers. It is okay to deny that all we are and all we have built means something.

It appears that some do not believe that this is the Greatest Nation ever created in the History of Mankind. It appears that our Congressmen and Senators are so busy taking bribes and screwing male homosexual prostitutes and operating above the law that they could careless that people died to build this nation and protect it.

Apparently the podium pushers in Washington DC have had too much rain and their brains are soggy as; The United States Senate Does Not Pass The Flag Desecration Amendment. I cannot imagine why anyone would wish to burn the American Flag, any American that is, but I am finding many people who do not consider their selves Americans.

Instead they take money, which has been laundered by the Internet in campaign contributions and they use it to fund their campaigns and they no longer hold any allegiance to our flag and I guess this should be expected.

Meanwhile while the Flag Debate rages on our elected representatives have failed to protect us as they allow more people with other flags to fly to enter our borders illegally? Whose team are these self-proclaimed Gentleman on anyway? Consider this in 2006.

In the current issue of IndustrialLeaders.com TR Cutler contends, “Manufacturers are not properly equipped with the tools or the experienced staff to compose, write, edit, and submit advertorial to publishers, editors, and websites. Search engines also pick up the media coverage of major publications ranging from IndustryWeek to Automation.com and more than a thousand industrial trade publications.”

Thomas R. Cutler, who founded the Manufacturing Media Consortium in 1999, has grown the participation from 300 journalists to more than two thousands key clients, journalists, editors, trendsetters, and key business leaders worldwide. Cutler has authored more than 1000 articles for a wide range of manufacturing periodicals, industrial publications, and business journals including most of the leading monthly trade publications. TR Cutler, Inc., (www.trcutlerinc.com), is the nation’s largest manufacturing marketing and public relations firm, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Placement of advertorials usually requires a top notch freelance journalist who has close relationships with the editors of the trade publications. Search Google for “manufacturing journalists” and a short list of leading journalists will guide the authorship of advertorials and web content.

TR Cutler asserts, “It is widely known that people give a lot more credibility to good editorial content than to paid advertisements. After all, anyone can claim that their own product is the best. Editorial content suggests that someone else has endorsed a product or service. Manufacturers can rarely afford to spend valuable time or precious resources in designing advertorial feature article content whether for publication or the company website.”

We don’t like to think about people doing harm to ourselves or others. The reality, however, is that we live in a country with one of the highest rates of financial crimes, including embezzlement, fraud, theft, etc. And, that’s just the beginning.

Let’s look at just a few statistics on what the FBI reports is the fastest growing crime in the US - employee theft:

US Chamber of Commerce reports that $50 billion dollars are lost annually due to employee theft and fraud and that 20% of all businesses fail due to the same reason.

According to an Ernst & Young Report, “White Collar Crime: Loss Prevention through Internal Control” companies lose 1% to 2% of its sales to crime — most committed by, or in collusion with, employees.

Employee theft, negligent hiring, sexual harassment, and workers’ compensation fraud are just a few of the liabilities an employer has to face in today’s hiring environment.

For example, an Arizona Fitness Club hired an unscreened applicant which resulted in the rape and murder of a female patron while she lounged in the sauna.

Is it any wonder that employment screening has become mandatory? Not only do you want to avoid hiring criminals, don’t you want to hire the right candidate who is most qualified for the job? All of this information can be ascertained through a proper background check from a company that knows what they are doing, and/or which can supplement an already existent screening program.

Critical Tips When Choosing an Employment Screening Company

When choosing an employment screening firm, look for longevity first with a track record that can be verified with numerous references from clients. Also look for professional memberships in organizations such as ASIS, SHRM, PIHRA, NPRRA, NAPBS, to name just a few.

Do you have a complete knowledge of employment law? If not, your screener should know the laws involving the background screening process. It helps, if the firm you hire has an acute knowledge of “negligent hiring,” much in the way that an Expert Witness might know, since it will be the expert witness who exposes the shortcomings of any hiring loophole which created the environment for the negligently hired employee to have come aboard in the first place!

Intimate, thorough and long-term knowledge of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is necessary, as well as the ability to testify for you in a court of law if need be - or even better, keep you out of court!

Does the prospective screener have knowledge and understanding of current HR Management systems? How about corporate Due Diligence programs or Factual Employment Screening programs that train people to find fraudulent applications and false identities?

In short, can your vendor help keep you from unwanted litigation? Unless you or someone in your company is an expert in employment law, you are putting your company at significant risk. If you are using any of the multitudes of online databases that have become available recently, it’s not likely you are protected.

Not only do these companies decrease your risk of exposure, they may even add to it. For example, let’s say you are currently using an employment screener who does not require you to provide a signed release for each applicant. Sounds relatively harmless, doesn’t it?

The truth is what these companies have done is had you waive liability to them when you signed up for an account so they can avoid the time and effort it takes involved in this critical step. In the case of an audit, your company is responsible for producing a signed application and therefore liable if you don’t have one on file. A good employment screener provides signatures for these audits and you’ll never even know when they occur. A typical lawsuit of this nature could cost your company six figures. Can you think of any good reason to take this kind of risk?

Join us again in the next issue and we’ll expose several common myths about background checks and give you the real facts such as what you must have including: a thorough candidate identification process, financial and driving history and hand-researched criminal court records. We’ll also show you how to use this information to make the best hiring decisions.

Scientists now know that it’s usually more dangerous to not stay active, no matter how old you are. And you don’t need to buy special clothes or belong to a gym to become more physical.

Most people don’t get enough physical activity. Here are some reasons why they should:

* Lack of physical activity and not eating the right foods, taken together, are the second greatest inherent cause of death in the United States. (Smoking is the number one cause.)

* Physical exercise can help people feel right and enjoy life more.

* Regular exercise can halt or put off some diseases like cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. It can also perk up your mood can be a direct result along with helping depression.

* Being active can help people stay independent and able to keep doing things like getting around or dressing themselves as they get older.

There are four types of physical activies you need to do to have the right assortment of physical activities.

1. Get at least 30 minutes of activity that makes you breathe harder on most or all days of the week. That’s called “endurance activity,” because it builds your energy or “staying power.” You don’t have to be active for 30 minutes all at once. Ten minutes of endurance activity at a time is fine. Just make sure those 10-minute sessions add up to a total of 30 minutes most days.

How hard do you need to exercise? The right level of effort is described this way: If you can talk while exercising without any trouble at all, you’re not working hard enough. If you can’t talk at all, it’s way too hard.

2. Keep using your muscles. When muscles aren’t used, they waste away at any age. How important is it to have “enough” muscle? Very! Muscles step-up your metabolism, allowing you to burn off more calories during the day when your body is at rest. Using your muscles may also make your bones stronger, too.

3. Do things to help your balance. Every now and then walk heel-to-toe. When you walk this way, the toes of the foot in back should almost touch the heel of the foot in front.

4. Stretch. Stretching can help keep you flexible and will be able to move more freely. Stretch when your muscles have warmed up. Never stretch so far that it hurts.

So, make physical activity a part of your everyday life. Find things you enjoy. Go for brisk walks. Ride a bike. Dance. Work around the house and in the yard, take care of your garden, climb the stairs, or rake your leaves. Regular day to day chores around the hous can keep you moving and active.

Achieving a balanced life is something like walking a tightrope. You sense perfection one fleeting moment at a time, the high wire, i.e., life, swinging suddenly and wildly underneath you, this way or that, trying its darndest to throw you off. You inch forward knowing you will never be allowed more than a fraction of a second to rest on your laurels, always unsure what the next moment will bring and how you will handle it.

Success on the high wire means worrying less about getting thrown off and paying more attention to the moving-forward part. But hey, don’t take it from me! Note what happened in this regard years ago to the master himself, the great Karl Wallenda, patriarch of the legendary aerialist family circus act, the Flying Wallendas. Karl’s final performance illustrates the point nicely, albeit sadly and tragically.

In the last weeks of his life, Papa Wallenda became obsessed with the image of falling from the wire, wracked with anxieties he had never encountered before. Throughout his long, illustrious and risky career, recalled his wife years later, Karl had never-ever considered the possibility of not successfully completing his act.

Yet three months before he fell, and apparently every single day leading up to the tragic event, his widow reports that “all Karl thought about was falling.” So while traversing a 75-foot-high wire in downtown San Juan, Puerto Rico, a height he had mastered long ago, he missed his footing and fell to his death. “It seemed to me,” Mrs. Wallenda reflected later, “that he had put all his energies into NOT falling rather than walking the tightrope.”

Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus, recounting this story in their book LEADERS, commented, “It became increasingly clear that when Karl Wallenda poured his energies into not falling, rather than walking the tightrope, he was virtually destined to fail.”

Though failing is indeed an inevitable component of life, something impossible to totally avoid. On the other hand, by worrying incessantly about it, and focusing on it, we can end up fulfilling our worst prophecies. The focus on failure can bring it to life, contributing directly to making it happen.

And besides, failure is often not such a bad thing to experience at all (unless your life depends upon it, as Karl’s did!). Other than failures involving death-defying acts, failure can be an invaluable, impressive teacher. Learning to heed lessons resulting from our mistakes and failures, for example, helps us grow and get better. There is insight and practical value in failure!

So given that failures are inevitable, with many benefits to be derived from them, we should instead view failure as “desirable,” a phenomenon to be relished and reflected upon.

What kind of benefits am I talking about? How exactly can we failure as desirable? Here are a few initial suggestions to get you started:

• Failure can teach you lots of ways NOT to do a thing.

• Failure could suggest a whole new way to go about something, or open your mind to ways of doing something you hadn’t thought of before. (Such inventions as Post-Its, Plexiglas and Velcro come to mind.)

• Reflecting on some failure in your past might provoke in you and others a good hearty laugh. (What were Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman thinking when they signed on for Ishtar?)

• Failures can be used as a metric that you are one step closer to outright success. When trying to invent the electric light bulb, Edison tried over 3000 different materials before he came across the one that finally worked (tungsten). When asked many years later how it was he had come to discover the right material when so many before him had tried (but failed), he replied, “I did something those others never did. I didn’t let my failures stop me… I kept going!”

• It can generate terrific dramatic content for when Hollywood gets around to making that movie based on your life.

Failure in our society has basically gotten a very bum rap. Begin seeing failure as a friend and not a foe and watch it begin to work wonders on your behalf.

Ample leisure time allows for a raft of thrilling experiences inducing different degrees of adrenaline rush from balloon rides to freefall parachuting.

Unpredictable UK weather conditions can be a bit of a stumbling block but add a small slice of sun to the equation and the whole extreme sports arena suddenly opens up to encompass many more attractive propositions. A hot air balloon at dawn across the Arizona desert holds a much broader appeal than, say, one over the flats of Northamptonshire and a leap off the soaring mountains to paraglide down to the powdery white sands and glistening blue lagoon of Turkey’s famous Olu Deniz beach http://www.oludenizbeach.com/paragliding.html is something a fair few of us may contemplate, well at least from the comfort of our sun loungers.

The great range of water-based UK sports tend to remain the province of more hardy animals. It’s difficult to beat the excellent kayaking and canoeing in the cascades of North Wales’ Canolfan Tryweryn National Whitewater Centre http://www.ukrafting.co.uk and the huge windsurfing community are spoilt for choice with competitions taking place year round across the country.

But how much more appealing the wind and water sounds if you factor in the sun-drenched Saharan style dunes of Fuerteventura. The Canary Islands are home to some of the best windsurfing in the world, the combination of calm flat waters and strong, steady summer tradewinds providing the perfect conditions for the PWA Freestyle and PWA Wave Grand Slam World Championships to be held in July in Fuerteventura and in Gran Canaria.

These prime watersport heavens are becoming more and more accessible with journey times matching, and even sometimes bettering, those to Devon and Cornwall via the hugely congested summer road network. Flights to the Canaries can be picked up really cheaply see http://www.xl.com/champion/cheap-flights-to-canaries.asp with some great bargains to be had following the latest round of UK travel company discounts.
