Hub You - Foreign Policy of Founding Fathers
Commercial real estate investment is a new territory for many real estate investors. The following is the alphabetical list of most commonly used terms in this area.Anchored tenants: big brand-name national tenants, e.g. Albertsons, Longs Drug, Walmart that bring in lots of traffic to the shopping center.CAM: Common Area Maintenance. Associated with CAM is CAM fees. For NNN leases, the term CAM fees refer to the money tenants pay landlord to cover property taxes, insurance and maintenance.Cap rate: Capitalization rate or the ratio of Net Operating Income over purchase price. The higher the cap rate, the higher the rental income in term of percentage. For people who invest in the stock market, cap rate is the inverse of P/E ratio. Cash on cash: annual percentage return of your down payment not including appreciation.Conduit loan: also called Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) loan often with the lower rate than traditional commercial loan but either has high pre-payment penalty (called defeasance or Yield Maintenance Penalty) or does not have payoff flexibility.CPD: Car Per Day or traffic volume on a road.CPI: Consumer Price Index. It's often used to calculate annual rental increase to compensate for inflation.Due Diligence Period: the duration after acceptance normally 15-30 days to allow buyer to investigate about the p
In every human breast, God has implanted a principle, which we call love of freedom; it is impatient of oppression and pants for deliverance. Phyllis Wheatley (1753-1784) The Boston Post-Boy 1774
“Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence . . . so that truth, and justice, and mercy, and all the humane and Christian virtues might not be extinguished from the land.” Abraham Lincoln on the founding fathers, August 17, 1858
“Give me liberty or give me death.” Patrick Henry March 23, 1775
“The people are the source of all authority and power.” John Adams, 1774
“I am persuaded and fully convinced that a permanent standing army [is a necessity].” George Washington, to Congress, September 2, 1776
“O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare to oppose not only the tyranny but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted around the globe. O! Receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind.” Thomas Paine, Common Sense, January 10, 1776
“We have not yet applied to any foreign power for assistance, nor offered our commerce for their friendship.” Benjamin Franklin, 1775
“I trust the experience of error will enable us to act better in the future.” George Washington, 1781
“I have not yet begun to fight.” John Paul Jon
How should you keep track of meetings?Have you ever wanted to run away from a meeting? I worked for one of the top five companies in the US and they seemed to hold meetings to plan meetings. It absolutely drove me around the bend! I would try and multi-task like all the other participants and secretly hoped they would not call on me for any information. In the long run, I did not get any value out of these meetings and my work was being ignored. I had to keep track of the meetings and place action items in my calendar so I would remember what the heck it was they wanted. In simple terms, my attitude absolutely stunk!When it was my turn to run the meeting, I decided to make changes. I planned what we should discuss and not just get updates from everyone. The meeting changed from keeping us up-to-date to one with meaning and relevant issues. Once this happened, there was more of a necessity to record the minutes and track the meeting progress. Meetings are a crucial part of running a company and winning clients. Client meetings should run smoothly and not be time wasters. You need to get to the point and move on.Keeping track of meetings and agendas only required the use of tables in a word processing program, or the use of an excel spreadsheet. This allowed the use of check marks to identify those action items that were completed. A list of outstanding issues yet to be resolved was easy to spot and did not require retyping ev
I certainly agree considering how many of our national political figureheads over the years have aligned themselves to do business with the Saudi Royal family and other heavily financed special interest groups to finance their political and personal objectives.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy said: "Sometimes party loyalty asks too much."
Perhaps we would do well to hear from our Founding Fathers and revisit the foreign policy they gave us.
…Neither can any external coercive power convince the understanding of the poorest idiot, nor fines and prisons be judged fit and adequate penalties for faults purely intellectual…. William Penn (1644-1718) The Great Case of Liberty and Conscience 1670
The strongest is never strong enough to be always the master, unless he transforms his strength into right, and obedience into duty. Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) The Social Contract 1762
The use of force alone is but temporary. It may subdue for a moment; but it does not remove the necessity of subduing again: and a nation is not governed, which is perpetually to be conquered. Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Second Speech on Conciliation with America, the Thirteen Resolutions, March 22, 1775
Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation—the last arguments to which kings resort. Patrick Henry (1736-1799) Speech at the Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775
Subject opinion to coercion: whom will you make your inquisitor? Fallible men; men governed by bad passions, by private as well as public reasons. And why subject it to coercion? To produce uniformity. But is uniformity of opinion desirable? No more than of face and stature. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution. Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) The Federalist Papers 1787
Politics, like religion, hold up torches of martyrdom to the reformers of error. Thomas Jefferson
Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct. Thomas Jefferson
Reason obeys itself; and Ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it. Thomas Paine (1737-1809) Address and Declaration 1791
Force cannot change right. Thomas Jefferson – To John Cartwright, June 5, 1824
I repeat, that I have no disposition to withhold any information which the duty of my station will permit, or the public good shall require to be disclosed. George Washington – Address to the House of Representatives, March 30, 1796
I have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation had a right to inter-meddle in the internal concerns of another; and that, if this country could, consistent with its engagements, maintain a strict neutrality and thereby preserve peace. George Washington – Letter to James Monroe, August 25, 1796
Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. …The nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. George Washington – Farewell Address, September 17, 1797
Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none should be our motto. Thomas Jefferson – First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801
If there be one principle more deeply rooted than any other in the mind of every American, it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Letter to William Short, 1791
We certainly cannot deny to other nations that principle whereon our own government is founded, that every nation has a right to govern itself internally under what forms it pleases, and to change these forms at its own will. Thomas Jefferson – To Thomas Pinckney, December 30, 1792
Europe, by her arms and by her negotiations, by force and by fraud, has extended her dominion over them all, Africa, Asia, an America have successively felt her domination. The superiority she has long maintained has tempted her to plume herself as the Mistress of the World, and to consider the rest of mankind as created for her benefit. Alexander Hamilton on Colonialism, The Federalist Papers 1787
My ardent desire is to keep the United States free from political connections with every other country, to see them independent of all and under the influence of none. George Washington (Letter to Patrick Henry, October 9, 1795)
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. Samuel Adams (1722-1803) Father of the American Revolution in an article he wrote to the Boston Gazette, October 14, 1771
Political freedom includes in it every other blessing. All the pleasures of riches, science, virtue, and even religion itself derive their value from liberty alone. Benjamin Rush (1745-1813) Founder of the American Public Schools to Catharine Macaulay, January 18, 1769
Remember, that in all countries where the freedom of the poor has been taken away, in whole or in part, that the freedom of the rich lost its defence. The circle has ever continued to constrict, till lessening to a point it became absolute. Thomas Paine – A serious address to the people of Pennsylvania 1778 This country, which has given to the world the example of physical liberty, owes to it that of moral emancipation also. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) To John Adams, January 22, 1821
Because people may betray themselves …people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government they should watch over it, as well as obey it. James Madison (1751-1836) Essay in the National Gazette, December 20, 1792
The liberty of the press is essential to the security of the state. John Adams, Free-Press Clause, Massachusetts Constitution 1780

Free. Oh how we love to hear that word. Just the sound of it coming off anyone's lips triggers the immediate exclamatory one-word questions -- "What?" "When?" or "Where?"Everyone loves a bargain. And there was once a time on the Internet when everything was at a bargain. For the Internet boom of the late 1990's ushered in the "free business model" when almost everything you wanted online was priced at . . . well, for free.That's not the case anymore. Many of those companies with the free offers have taken free voluntary bankruptcy.But still, there are many websites that use freebies to increase their website traffic and attract new business. Does it work? You darn right it does, or else it wouldn't still exist. However, the online commerce world is a game of "Survivor" if there ever was one. Survival of the fitess, that is.Free works great as a marketing strategy provided it is used to convert website visitors into real paying customers. To do that you have to have a product or service that people need, want and will buy. But above all, your products and services have to be competitively priced. The only way you can expect to garner top bucks for your goods or services online is to offer proprietary products and services that no one else offers. If you can't do that, be prepared to lose a lot of sales to your Internet competition who most likely has some aspect of the free business model in their marketin

Technology has brought about many ingenious devices. It drives on. The Personal Computer began limited programming tools that could do much, but required programming that wasn't available. That changed dramatically over a quarter of a century.Along the way many wireless technologies such as Blue tooth came that make it even handier than ever; eliminating mounds of wires that made up computer systems all over. The GPS unit has done the same in respect to stacks of maps to spill coffee on and lose to water damage over time.GPS and Blue tooth technologies have met, and life will never be the same! Blue tooth GPS features make the best of both worlds. On one side you have an interactive device that is highly specialized in being on the move. Maps, position, and even finding resources wherever you are among the benefits. It has storage limits and of course is specialized and compact.While the PC has connected to many GPS units at some level, today without wires the interoperability has exploded in capability thanks to Blue tooth wireless technology.What Makes The Blue tooth GPS Tick Usefully?Blue tooth technology is a revolutionary medium for small-area networking. With a Blue tooth GPS data is passed to your computer via this wireless network without requiring your involvement. No longer do you have to figit with connectors that ultimately wear out where they screw in to put your latest travels in for use with your

So many times in seminars I hear people say that the main goal for them is “to get through the day without someone yelling at me.”I propose a new day for you with a new skill set. The proactive “I will service you before you start yelling” skill set.So, what do you do now?1st is identify your weakest area in your skill set. Is it listening, communicating or even impatience with customers? Once you have decided which it is we need to embark on a course of correcting it. The thing to remember is you did not build the skills you have now in a day, and it will take a little time to get a new skill set in place. Just work at it day by day, and suddenly you will find yourself with new daily skills, not old worn out skills.Once you have decided which skill you want to improve,you'll need to find a source to study and learn from. It can come from the library, several adult development sites, you name it. Just Google your weak spot and wala, you now have pages and pages to choose from.Next. Learn. Copy. Study. Practice. Repeat. Learn. Copy. Study. Practice. Repeat. Again and again. Humans love repetition. Don’t believe me; try stopping your favorite hobby. Why do we read a book we love over and over? If we didn’t love repetition, why do we purchase DVDs? You’ve already seen it right?It’s because we learn and assimilate information this way.Next, practice the language you would like to use. Script it out. If you a

“We have not yet applied to any foreign power for assistance, nor offered our commerce for their friendship.” Benjamin Franklin, 1775
“I trust the experience of error will enable us to act better in the future.” George Washington, 1781
“I have not yet begun to fight.” John Paul Jones, 1779
We mistake the object of our government, if we hope or wish that it is to make us respectable abroad. Conquest or superiority among other powers is not or ought not ever to be the object of republican systems. Charles Pinckney (1757-1824) Constitutional Convention, June 25, 1787
Indulging no passions which trespass on the rights or the repose of other nations, it has been the true glory of the United States to cultivate peace by observing justice, and to entitle themselves to the respect of the nations at war by fulfilling their neutral obligations with the most scrupulous impartiality. James Madison (1751-1836) First Inaugural Address – March 4, 1809
America well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extraction, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit. John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) Address, July 4, 1821
Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will be America’s heart, her benedictions and her prayers. But she does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. John Quincy Adams – Address, July 4, 1821
In the wars of the European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy so to do. James Monroe – Annual message to Congress, December 2, 1823
Separated as we are from Europe by the great Atlantic ocean, we can have no concern in the wars of the European Governments nor in the causes which produce them. – James Monroe – Annual message to Congress, December 7, 1824
I confess I have the same fears for our South American brethren; the qualifications for self-government in society are not innate. They are the result of habit and long training, and for these they will require time and probably much suffering. Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Everett, March 27, 1824)
“We must make the best of mankind as they are, since we cannot have them as we wish.” George Washington, 1776
“The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in my conviction is that the Union of the States be cherished and perpetuated.” President James Madison, “Advice to My Country,” October 1834
Malice toward none, charity for all.
Self-government does not come without a struggle. Certainly freedom is not free. It was purchased for us by the lives, fortunes, blood, and sacred of honor of our Founding Fathers. Let us therefore hold dear to the spirit in which they walked and founded our republic. May we always remain one nation under God, united in purpose and power.
