Rogues in Paradise: A Study of Complexity, Caribbean Complexity, Barbados Complex History, Barbados Complexity

The Shadows of Sugar
Sugar when ruled Barbados, forming its landscape, economy, and social structure. The plantations left behind more than fields; they carved an enduring imprint on the island's identity. Today, the remnants of that period, from windmills to grand houses, stand as a suggestion of both the ruthlessness of the past and the durability of those who endured it. Modern Barbados acknowledges this history, not to dwell on it, however to ensure it informs a more inclusive future.

What the difference between Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet and Rods

Image
Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, however it does require slow speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from Industrial Plastic . Smaller pieces always ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very tough and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They look similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food conta...

If I had $1 every time a client thought they needed this...

When it comes to your current strategy, are you building assets OR are you jumping from  offer to offer & promotion to promotion ?  If I had a dollar for every time a client came to us thinking they needed a new marketing funnel :-) After doing a deep dive in their business  (part of our process at Business Nitrogen to really understand our client’s ultimate desired result),  we uncover what they really NEED to move their business forward.  9 times out of 10  it’s not a new funnel and all the automation that goes along with it.  This exact scenario reminds me of a quote by Henry Ford that couldn’t hold more true,  “If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.” It’s the same for us as Entrepreneurs. We are blinded to what it is we  really NEED .  So often, we are way too close to our own businesses to see the 30,000 foot view of what it’s  really going to take  to get to the next level.  This applies to almost anything in our lives...When you ar...

Front Yard Landscaping Ideas

Image
Look for those who are willing to take a look at the space you have available and are willing to listen to what you are trying to achieve in it. This combination of structure and non-structure makes it a bit more difficult to conjure up a good design. Ideally, your landscape should have a well balanced perspective for all potential onlookers. Only when you are fully satisfied with the design that the landscaping Wilmington DE designer presents to you will then work move on to the next stage Another consideration though while setting your budget is that you could undertake your landscaping project in stages, but, this would only be a good idea if you see yourself getting extra money to afford this in the future, otherwise you could end up with a very expensive stage all finished and then the next stage a budget finish that is simply not going to look right, so, probably best just to budget it at the start and perhaps have room for improvements in the future if extra money does become av...
