Experts Question Flip-Flops In The Workplace And Their Effect On Our Feet

Women are wearing flip flops in the workplace more and more, especially in these warmer months. U.S. style experts believe that flip flops could be damaging not only our feet but our careers.

There are so many new styles of flip flops: beaded, leather, sequins that women feel it is easy to get away with wearing them to work.

An employee of West Glenn Communications comments that she wears flip-flops on the days she doesn’t have important meetings with clients or avoids wearing them if she knows that someone who disapproves will be in the office.

Thousands of women across the country consider flip-flops an indispensable element in their summer wardrobe.

An Old Navy and Gap online survey showed that flip-flops were at the top of the list as summer work attire for high school and college students.  More than 31 % of the women surveyed said that flip-flops were essential part for their summer work wardrobe.

Many companies feel differently.

A spokeswoman for BNP Paribas says that if a dress code says no beachwear this includes flip flops.

Style experts advise that flip-flops could be detrimental to a career. Younger women are the ones who tend to wear them to work.

Style commentator Meghan Cleary says, "Shoes convey the mood of a woman. Wearing flip-flops conveys the mood that you are relaxed and on vacation. That's not a good message in the office,"

Doctors also have concerns about the effect of flip-flops on the feet.

Doctors at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons say that flip-flops are connected to a rising number of heel problems among teens and young adults.

A representative recently said, "We're seeing more heel pain than ever in patients 15 to 25 years old, a group that usually doesn't have this problem.” She said that thin soled flip-flops give no arch support and can intensify abnormal biomechanics in foot motion. This will ultimately cause pain and inflammation.

Flip-flops have been around for at least 70 years, originating from traditional Japanese woven, and possibly wooden soled sandals in New Zealand.

The Y-shaped and flat soled sandal is known all over the world and to all social classes.

It is very common in developing countries for its affordable price and sometimes the only shoe used because it is easy to make.

The term "flip-flop" gets its name from the slapping sound the sandal makes when it hits the ground and the heel.

A few years ago the life of the flip flop changed completely. They became trendy and popular. All kinds of stores sell them in a variety of colors with all kinds of decorations. There is even a bridal Flip flop which is full of Swarovski crystals and sells for $140.

In June 2005 the Northwestern University’s champion woman’s lacrosse team wore flip-flops to the White House to meet the President.  It was considered inappropriate attire and the women were criticized

Ellen Campuzano, president of the Committee of Color and Trends, a New York-based forecasting service specializing in footwear and accessories, believes that flip-flops' popularity has almost run its course.

"Usually these trends come and go in about five years," she said. "I think we've reached the peak. They can't be any more widespread, so maybe next summer something will replace them."

White Label Dating Cash Machine

Joining a Dating Affiliate Program is way up there when it comes to easy ways of making money online. Dating programs are one of the most successful affiliate programs on the internet, since the majority of people who become dating affiliates generally end up earning money. You can also sign up with an affiliate program in order to increase your income, however, remember that the competition in the arena is getting tougher by the day, and in order to make your website stand out and be special, you will have to make at least a little effort. Gone are the days when all you needed to make money as a dating affiliate was sign up with a top affiliate program. Some tips that will help you in increasing your profits as an affiliate are as follows:

•      Almost all dating affiliate websites look similar and provide almost the same kind of information. In order to stand out, try to be as novel and unique with your concept as you can. Targeting a niche audience is a better idea than targeting everybody and being generic. The best way to do this is to create your own White Label Dating site with a dating service provider such as WhiteLabelDatingSolutions.com.

•      Put up good material on your websites. Putting up rehashed and re-formatted versions of the same information that is available on every other dating affiliate program site will really not do much for your website. It would be better to write original articles, even if all you are doing is just sharing your own dating experiences.

Make your visitors sign up for your mailing list. This will help you get a good database of your core customers, which will come in handy as and when you join up for a new affiliate program or want to promote a new website.

•      In the end, the major deciding factor on which the success or failure of your endeavor rests will be your search engine rankings. Try to increase your search engine rankings by putting SEO enriched content on your website and creating as many back links to your site as possible on other related pages. You can also advertise with Google if you feel that your earnings will be able to justify the cost.

Update: Palacio de Bahia Back On! 07/05/07

Palacio de Bahia is now back on, but it is a different building. Now it is 83 stories down from 97. It still has a hotel. We are not sure about the prices but we are thinking the prices will be higher. The average price of a new project condo in Panama City is now $2,000 a sq. meter. Some of the icon projects are being offered for $3,500 a sq. meter and everything in between. Some think Panama will reach $5,000 a sq. meter. Others think prices will recede back to the $1,000 a sq meter previous level. We are in the middle somewhere thinking between $1100 and $1800 a sq. meter to be about right for this market.

Please bear in mind to the European who is on a Euro economy buy in Panama, which is on the US Dollar, reflects a discount of better than one third. Once the dollar regains its strength (or for some readers I should say if <smile>), the European market will dry up and then who knows what will be.

Stay tuned for more updates as they come in.

Once again our position is if you cannot go into the home and turn on a light and flush a toilet do not buy. We still favor the existing housing market.

Being Competitive in a GM

The challenges of today's global marketplace are forcing companies to look at doing things differently in order to get that extra edge over their competition.

According to Makino, a global provider of advanced machining technology, companies doing things the same way they have been doing them for the last 10 to 15 years are probably in a "recurring uniform trap," or "RUT," while the global market is passing them by.

Why do something differently? Productivity is a big reason. A 21st century equation explains what productivity requirements will be for the future; the concept

being half the number of people, making twice as much money, but doing three times the amount of work.

In manufacturing, this concept is coming true today. Companies are looking under every rock for opportunities to improve productivity, increase efficiency and lower costs.

In many machine shops, machining centers sit idle while manual work is still being performed. By doing things this way, the companies are not getting the most out of their machine nor their personnel investment.

In today's competitive environment, companies must identify if they are stuck in a RUT. In order to improve, they must be willing to step outside their comfort zones and create solutions.

Culture change takes place gradually, and everyone, especially the people who are out on the floor, must first have a high level of confidence that new technology will work and work reliably before they embrace it. Reliable, high-performance machines not only produce results but also eliminate your business RUT.

Tips for Keeping Restrooms Smelling Fresh and Clean

There's nothing that says your cleaning company is doing a great job more than when your building's restrooms are not only clean, but fresh-smelling. After all, when employees or visitors enter a restroom they "hope" to be confronted with a pleasant scent - pine, citrus or just a clean smell. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Often when individuals enter a restroom they are assaulted with an overpowering scent or even unpleasant odors.

Looking through any janitorial supply catalog there is a wide range of products to combat odors  - urinal screens and cakes, air fresheners of all shapes, sizes and fragrances, air sanitizers and commode and urinal mats. As a cleaning contractor, where do you begin?

To get a clean smelling restroom the first thing you have to do is remove any foul odors. Begin by assessing the restroom. Odors can come from many sources - restrooms do have their own share of "natural" odors and in addition dirt and bacteria can cause even more offensive smells. Check and monitor drains as they are a well-known source of fostering odors.

The first step to keeping odors under control is thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting restroom surfaces. Also consider using enzymes in drains to help break down materials that are decaying and that can lead to problem odors. Proper cleaning should remove not only the dirt you can see, but places that catch dirt and bacteria that can lead to offensive smells.

Odors can thrive in tile floors in men's restrooms as urine can easily get into the grout. Mopping every day can get the surface dirt, but dirt and urine that have penetrated the grout need more aggressive treatment. You may need to use a floor machine or vigorously scrub the grout to remove any build-up.

Use a neutral cleaner/disinfectant/deodorizer when cleaning floors, urinals, toilets and the partitions between stalls. If you mix up your solution in a mop bucket, you can pour the water down the drain after cleaning the restroom to help keep the drain smelling fresh. Check under toilet rims, countertops and other areas where soil may have collected.

Proper employee training is also critical in keeping restrooms odor free. An employee who rushes through a bathroom with a squirt of disinfectant and quickly sloshing a mop across the floor is going to be creating rather than solving odor problems. Employees must know how to use cleaners and disinfectants properly and be sure to allow the right amount of dwell time.

Once you have a restroom clean, putting the right products in place will help keep it smelling fresh. Urinal and commode mats are gaining popularity. Place these items under urinals and around toilets to collect any urine that drips on the floor. Besides capturing liquids, the mats also contain a deodorant that helps cut down on odors. Once full, simply toss the mats into the trash.

Air freshener dispensers come in all shapes, sizes and fragrances. Take care in choosing fragrances that are not overpowering. Strong smells, whether they be of pine, vanilla, cinnamon, green apple or citrus, can be offensive. Also remember when choosing fragrances to make sure that air dispensers, urinal cakes and others, all emit the same scent. Competing scents can interact and make your restroom odor problems worse.

There are many variables when it you are first trying to rid a restroom of foul or unpleasant odors. Because of increased scrubbing, when you first thoroughly clean a restroom more odors may be created as you are stirring up dormant smells. However, this is a sign that your cleaning will remove the problems and your customers will end up with a clean and fresh smelling restroom. The overall benefit of a "fresh smelling restroom" will make your cleaning clients happy and your cash register ring!

Are You Stacked?

Get your mind out of the gutter.  We're talking chairs.  If you're still using folding chairs, you better be running a Bingo night.  If you're storing extra chairs for conferences, presentations, or anything else that needs to appear professional and not give your guests a backache they'll spend more time thinking about than your Power Point slides, you'd better make sure you have decent chairs.

We found attractive, comfortable stackable chairs at Versa Products.  The Versa Stack Chair features a black polypropylene seat positioned on a solid chrome frame.  An opening integrated in the sculpted 19 inch by 12 inch seat back allows for ease of movement and enough lumbar support to help your guests think about something besides how badly their lower back hurts (it won't).

The chairs are light, easy to carry, and one person can stack and move up to forty chairs at a time, cutting down on time intensive set-up and break-down.  The floor glides prevent marks and scratches on the floor, and eliminate "tipping."

Perfect for schools, conference centers, churches, meeting halls, and offices, these chairs are also great for home use and take up less space than folding chairs.  Priced at only $45 each for 51 units or more, or $49 each for ten units or less, they're also affordable.  And you don't need to worry about the cost of replacing them.  Like all of Versa's products, the Versa Stack Chair is guaranteed under Versa's no-hassle Lifetime Warranty.

Versa also offers three other types of chairs, all protected under the company's comprehensive warranty and all made of the same high-quality materials.  The Versa Task Chair is a height-adjustable, easy-to-tilt, comfort-cushioned chair ideal for any computer desk or workstation.  It's ergonomic and can be ordered with or without arms.  Steel rollers on a weight-distributing base allows for easy movement, and the Task Chair comes in gray or black.

The Versa Drafting Stool makes up the third chair in the line-up, a perfect companion to both Versa's Drafting Table and Art Table. It features one-touch height adjustment, steel casters, and can be purchased with or without arms.  The contoured cushions—available in both black and gray—cradle your body, making it one of the most comfortable drafting stools on the market.

Last but not least, is Versa's beautifully upholstered black vinyl Side Guest Chair.  Attractive and sleek, the contoured back rests on a steel  frame, sporting comfort pads on the elbow rests.  These chairs are wonderful as guest chairs in any office, but also work well in conference rooms, waiting rooms, and home offices, too.  At $79 each, they're a bargain, but Versa's Side Guest Chair also boasts one of Versa's best quantity discount pricing tiers.  At only 25 chairs, the price drops to $69 per unit, and of course, as is with all of Versa's products, shipping is totally free.  This chair is only available in black.

In addition to seating solutions, Versa also carries complete lines of computer desks, computer lab tables, computer desk accessories, drafting furniture, computer carts, laptop drawers, cable management systems, and much more.  Visit them online to request a catalog.
