When a leader would say "follow me" and then actually lead the way into the unknown; assuming all the risks being asked of everyone else? When it was anathema to ask a person to do what you yourself wouldn't do? There are still instances where we witness this kind of leadership. The U.S. Military practically oozes it. One of the more popular (and literal) slogans of the U.S. Marine Corps is "First to Fight"; they mean itand they live it. U.S. Army Rangers say "Rangers Lead the Way"; they mean it and they live it. Navy Seals say "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday"and I believe them. Isn't it strange that kind of leadership exists in our military but is completely absent in our elected officials? Our elected officials certainly have no

The futon industry has followed this pattern as well over the years. The construction of a futon frame consists of several primary parts. They include a set of arms, rails, seat rack and back rack sections. Futon manufacturers vary the way they make these parts and the materials they use in the construction of these frames. Of course not all futon frames will be made the same and some manufacturers incorporate unique designs or features into their products that make them stand out. In this article we'll examine several current popular manufacturers of futon frames that have brought design innovations into the industry, their stories as well as the construction techniques and features that they have developed over the years. The August Lotz Story: August Lotz started out in 1897. Located in

Very often it has seemed to them that their whole World has come to an end because they trusted him so much and he took that trust, chewed it up and spit it out and showed them no respect. There are men who are decent, honest, reliable, loyal and faithful out there so how does a woman know when she has met one of them and when she has met one of the liars, users or selfish ones? To start with they may both appear the same. The liar does not appear to be lying, he says all of the right things and puts your mind at rest. You can only work out if he is a liar weeks, months or maybe years later. Even if you are a naturally cynical or suspicious person this does not guarantee that you will know the pers

Very often it has seemed to them that their whole World has come to an end because they trusted him so much and he took that trust, chewed it up and spit it out and showed them no respect. It also dents their confidence because they start to think they have done something wrong. That it is somehow their own fault. That they should have realised it sooner or they had "mug" written on their forehead. Of course, there are are men who are decent, honest, reliable, loyal and faithful out there so how do

The term might not sound that portable but this product is the originator of what we call laptops today. In 1986 Compaq came out with its first PC based on Intel's microprocessor and surpassed IBM which was the world known leader of that time. After this it launched Deskpro and Systempro. The company made its first market appearance as a retail brand in 1990. By 1998 Compaq became second largest computer maker in the world. Since then the brand is prospering, and the result is what we have in front of us today. After its merger with HP the CPQ is now HPQ denoting brand HP Compaq. Compaq is range of offerings includes IT equipments, Software services and solutions, Personal Desktops, Notebooks, Person

Image source: http://blog.froy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Industrial-Decor-Ideas-2.jpg While choosing industrial furniture keep in mind that the industrial era used materials that were bulky and heavy such as solid wood and steel. These pieces were made to last for years and took alot of wear and tear. You can still find some of these peices today. Their worn, weathered look gives them character and adds a bit of drama to any space. They may be covered in leather, heavy denim, linen, cotton ticking or wool. Besides wood and steel you may find pieces made of galvanized metal and iron with muted industrial paint and powder-coated finishes. Many industrial furniture designs today have been greatly influenced by the industrial workplaces of yesterday. Items once produced for factories, hospitals, schools, and commercial units are now being reproduced for our living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and even our bedrooms. They also work great in office's and can add a lot of style to

First, how is that person's health and physical condition? Can he or she easily rise from and sit down into a chair? If not, furniture with special options are available. The seats of chairs and recliners rise to a higher level with the push of a button. The elderly person can simply back against it, then lower himself down to a seated position by pushing another button. Furniture technology is great! Another thing to consider when picking out furniture for an elderly person is the fabric or upholstery on the item. If the elderly person tends to slide out of seating easily, a couch with a slick leather upholstery might not be as good a choice as one wi

This is a pervasive challenge for businesses in our day. There are, to be sure, several ways to approach this challenge. One approach, however, that is cost effective and successful is to build the capabilities of the organization through the creation of effective teams. Too many businesses respond to the need for expanded capability by hiring an individual who is qualified and competent to meet the immediate challenge. Once the challenge has been met, however, they either have an underutilized employee on their hands or they let the individual go. This will never be cost-effective. First, the business incurs the cost (in dollars, time and investment) of defining the job, advertising it, and hiring. Second, the cos

From those humble beginnings, they have evolved their footwear collection to handle all types of terrain from the urban jungle of Miami to the trails of the Rocky Mountains. Their main objective always is to promote an active lifestyle for men, women and children to enjoy with footwear that can handle the challenge. As a matter of fact, starting with their headquarters in the rugged terrain of Utah, this served as the optimal proving grounds for their hiking boots. Merrill invested heavily in cutting edge technology that could handle this demanding landscape which still appears in their varied collection of moccasins, sports shoes, sandals, slides and boots today. With the advent of people becoming more fitness conscious, Merrill has adapted to meet their needs. So, whether the endeavor is

A heart attack happens as a result of coronary heart diseases. Oxygen is essential for the heart muscles to survive. The reduction of oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart muscle causes a heart attack. The blood flow to the heart through the coronary artery is reduced or blocked by certain substances called plaque. Fats and cholesterol constituting the plaque may break the heart artery and forms clots around the plaque. These blood clots interrupt the normal blood flow and hence the heart muscle will not get sufficient oxygen and leads to the death of heart muscle causing the heart attack. The process of deposition of plaque in the blood vessel over years is termed to be as atherosclerosis. The heart attack can cause either death or some disabilities to the patient. Symptoms for heart attack Chest pain or discomfort U
