										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  association web design landscape can be viewed by a paradigm of new, younger association websites that have been redeveloped in the last couple of years compared to sites that may have been operating for the last 5-10+ years. Not much time from a historical perspective, but in technological time, it&#8217;s the equivalent of a rotary phone vs. a smart phone in your pocket. Yes, both make phone calls, but today smartphones make up an ecosystem supporting technology that flourishes within it.  And while yes you can still connect with a neighbor on a land line phone, if you want your website to communicate to a savvy generation of internet users, then its time to upgrade. Modern content management systems offer association web design projects not just another tool, but an entirely new landscape to engage their members and expand functionality.  Just as some people stick to their old phones, it&#8217;s easy to resist the urge to upgrade your website when you don&#8217;t realize the amazing benefits you&#8217;re missing.</p>
<p>Moving Past Incremental Improvement</p>
<p>So what has kept thousands of associations from upgrading their web presence?  It&#8217;s more complicated than we initially thought. After reviewing notes from a number of different projects, we discovered a couple of insights. First, executives described to us that it&#8217;s not rejection of technology. Many concede that software can be a solution.  Budgets were there as a reason as well, reserved for general marketing expenditures and technology upgrades.  The great deal of them also had technical staff available that understood the benefits and the potential for improvement. Below we describe some of the real reasons that kept these associations stuck in a permanent holding pattern.</p>
<p>A Content Management System to the Rescue</p>
<p>Is there a perfect association website solution? That could be answered the same way if the question were about cars. Maybe a Ferrari comes to mind. To others, it&#8217;s a luxury SUV. And for some, a medium-size sedan is comfortable. But what if our answer wasn&#8217;t some super expensive custom brand, but rather an open source solution started by a teenager in his dorm room a over a decade ago? You&#8217;d be right to smirk, until you learned that from that original effort, many of today&#8217;s websites like Whitehouse, MTV, and thousands of member-based websites have selected Drupal content management solutions over almost everything else. </p>
<p>Drupal is more than a website language. It offers Software As A Solution (SaaS) infrastructure that can help small associations to enterprise-size organizations deploy highly-automated sites that can be run by a single user. It&#8217;s a powerful concept to think ten people or a hundred people can use the same software with vastly different requirements, but beneath Drupal&#8217;s exterior lies an extremely efficient and modular framework that can be joined together. Unlike previous content management solutions that were run and implemented by individual companies, Drupal is an open source solution where a global community of users participate to make improvements and enhancements. Like Wikipedia, you can make edits and improvements to a system that doesn&#8217;t charge any licensing costs. </p>
<p>Drupal Modules can contribute to enhance functionality, that includes:</p>
<p>1. Association Event Calendar<br />
Give visitors access to calendars for conferences, meetings, trade shows, and special events.</p>
<p>2. Event Registration for Members<br />
Allow members to self-register and sign up for courses along with the ability to pay for dues or fees online.</p>
<p>3. Executive and Member Profiles<br />
Highlight executives, committees, companies, sponsors, or member profiles offering basic or detailed contact information.</p>
<p>4. Add Social Media Distribution and Archiving<br />
Give updates on blogs, news, press releases, videos, pdfs, and more with website functionalities that can share updates throughout the site and social media networks.  </p>
<p>5. Create Vendor Listings and a Searchable Database<br />
Connect members with the vendors looking to serve your members through paid or complimentary vendor listing areas. </p>
<p>6. Administrative Reporting for Associaiton Members<br />
Need to know what your members are doing? Utilize extensive custom report tools to gain analytical insight into site analytics, ecommerce transactions, site behavior, member demographics, and more.</p>
<p>7. Boost Social Media Integration Interactions<br />
Create two-way communication streams between your website and external social media sites, share content between the two, and encourage engagement through responsive design.</p>
<p>8. Secure Member Area for Association Members<br />
Provide members a secure area to access private content, calendars, or networking areas. Also, have members update personal information or contribute to your marketing campaigns.</p>
<p>9. Utilize Custom Membership Levels<br />
Offer custom membership levels for association members; charge, track, and manage each user from a central administrative area.</p>
<p>10. Embrace Advertising and Sponsorships<br />
Offer selective advertising and sponsorship opportunities such as ads or sponsorships of events, webinars, emails, and more.</p>
<p>11. Board of Director Voting Tools<br />
Allow voting for a board of directors through a secure area on the site and detailed reporting and auditing.</p>
<p>Drupal is a fresh approach to web development. It addresses not only the fundamental technical issues that have been stumbling blocks, but also many of the learned cultural problems that stymied website projects in the past. </p>
<p>These associations rely on solutions like Drupal to power everything from news updates and job forums to content utilized in mobile applications that support their mission to increase in size and value for their members. </p>
<p>Discovering if Drupal is the right fit for an association takes a lot of understanding of the technical goals and strategic objectives your organization has in the years to come. Drupal is an open source CMS that gives its users a large degree of flexibility to modify, share, and distribute content (text, video, data, and business services). Still, Drupal is more than a CMS. It is a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that is perfect for a small business and scalable for any large enterprise. Drupal is a free and open-licensed software package capable of easily publishing content for individuals or large-scale organizations or any size web project in between.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many ways to purchase wholesale diamonds, with the gaining popularity of the internet, it has become possible for all businesses to advertise their goods and services worldwide, Diamond wholesalers are no exception. In fact, due to the competition and ease of availability, the internet has possibly made it far easier to buy wholesale diamonds than ever before.</p>
<p>Over recent years almost all successful and forward thinking companies have committed both time and resources to promote themselves on the internet and gain world-wide exposure. The world of wholesale diamonds is no different, over the last few years, with the integration of the Kimberley Process that helps to define the origins of the loose diamonds, through to the worldwide adoption of the standard clarification system, known as the 4C&#8217;s (Cut, Clarity, Carat and Colour) The sale of wholesale diamonds has become much more regulated and scrutinized, meaning that you as a purchaser of loose diamonds from any Diamond wholesaler are far more protected from fraud or purchasing an imitation than ever before.</p>
<p>Many of the internet sites offering wholesale diamonds to the public, have also integrated into the design their own &#8216;Build Diamond Ring,&#8217; Three dimensional graphics programs. By utilising these programs, the wholesale diamonds websites are able to offer both loose diamonds and build diamonds rings specifically to the individual designs and wishes.</p>
<p>If you are considering venturing into the jewelery business, it is paramount that you find and research reputable websites that sell wholesale diamonds. Building a good relationship with a trusted and respected wholesale diamonds website can take a little time. However, purchasing good, high quality stock at a low price will be one of the major factors in the success, or failure of your business, and your stock of wholesale diamonds may well depend upon their ability to supply you with the correct diamonds, at the right time, for the lowest price available.</p>
<p>Some of the more established websites selling wholesale diamonds may require a minimum order in either quantity, or cost. Often these companies may require some form of documentation that you are also licensed to trade in wholesale diamonds. If you are just looking for a single purchase, as a form of investment or to build a diamond ring, these particular websites are not designed for you. However, with a small amount of research, time and patience, you will soon find a wholesale diamonds website that caters for both the jewelery industry, as well as the general public.</p>
<p>Buying Wholesale diamonds as an investment, or for use in the design and build of diamond rings as well as other items of diamond jewelery is the best way of ensuring that the cost of the diamonds you purchase are a true reflection of their value, and not just a contributing factor in the overall cost.</p>
<p>For people building their own jewelery business it is essential that you build a good working relationship with whichever company you choose to purchase your wholesale diamonds from. Without an element of trust from both parties, the relationship may well break-down and cause one of the parties a financial loss. A good business relationship with any wholesale diamonds company will benefit you if any reimbursements or exchanges are necessary, should the loose diamonds supplied not meet the specified criteria.</p>
<p>Always remember,if something seems too good to be true, it probably is! Always ensure that you purchase your diamonds from a reputable and licenced,wholesale diamonds company to achieve the best possible loose diamonds for your money. Visit our website for more details.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buying a quality engagement ring can be quite an expensive purchase. For any couple, the announcement of their forth-coming marriage, is an event to be celebrated, for many, the giving of a ring from the man to the woman is seen as customary. Within many cultures, the rings that is given, are commonly Diamond engagement rings. These can differ in size, design and cost, dependant upon the quality of the diamonds used, and the intricacy with which the design has been manufactured.</p>
<p>The components of an engagement ring, such as the Diamond, the precious metal setting, and time to manufacture, all comprise to determine the overall purchase price, plus any profit margins incurred. In total, by the time you purchase your engagement ring from any shop, the total cost far exceeds the value of the parts used, and so, a ?1,000 diamond engagement ring may well, in reality, only contain a diamond whose value is but a fraction of the total cost. Using a credit card as a means of engagement ring financing will then add interest onto your purchase, increasing the total amount you will pay, far in excess of the value of the diamond engagement ring.</p>
<p>If you have saved for the opportunity to buy a diamond ring, you will not require any engagement ring financing, however, you will certainly still wish to receive value for money, and the highest quality obtainable for the price asked. Once again, buying engagement rings as a completed item of jewelery incurs the same costs and profit margins for the diamond wholesaler, designer and manufacturer, as well as the jeweler. Added together, these costs amount to a considerable amount, and once again have to be deducted from the purchase price of the diamond engagement ring, in order to assess it&#8217;s true value.</p>
<p>There is a better method of engagement ring financing, whether you have the full amount you wish to spend readily available, or just a portion, the best way to achieve value when considering any engagement ring financing is to purchase the Diamond you wish to buy separately. Loose Diamonds can be bought from many diamond wholesalers or high quality jewelers, and with a small amount of research, you can ensure that the money you spend on your selected diamond, is a true reflection of the stone&#8217;s value, and not an artificially inflated amount.</p>
<p>Buying the diamond separately as a means of engagement ring financing allows you the time, if needed, to save the remainder of the overall costs. These charges will consist of the price of the chosen precious metal used to make the ring and setting, together with the charge for manufacture. The overall total cost of purchasing a diamond ring of equal quality as a finished item, will always far exceed the total price you will pay by buying loose diamonds and having them set into items of jewelery for you.</p>
<p>Whether you are looking for the best quality diamonds for your money, or an alternative means of engagement ring financing, buying your diamonds from a diamond wholesaler will always ensure that the price you pay is proportionate to the value of the diamonds used.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the stock markets underperforming, and property prices depreciating, many people are turning to buying diamonds wholesale as a means of investment. Even if you are only searching for one, good quality diamond in which to invest, you can purchase diamonds wholesale, saving you as much as 80% on the cost of an equivalent size, and value diamond, once it has been set into a piece of jewelery.</p>
<p>When buying diamonds wholesale, a degree of care needs to be taken. As with any expensive purchase, it is always best to be slightly cautious, research the diamond wholesaler prior to your purchase to ensure they are reputable and genuine, with the correct recommendations and licences. Any business which is offering diamonds wholesale should have a large selection of loose diamonds, with a variety of colours, carats, clarity and cuts, known universally as the 4C&#8217;s</p>
<p>Educating yourself with a reasonable amount of knowledge with regard to the 4C&#8217;s is relatively quick and simple. With a small amount of research, one can soon understand how each of these 4C&#8217;s impact on the quality, and ultimately the value of any diamond. When purchasing diamonds wholesale, the vendor may offer you some advice on their selection of wholesale diamonds, but it will ultimately be your decision as to which diamond or diamonds you choose to purchase.</p>
<p>When you are purchasing any diamonds wholesale, it is important that you ask for, and receive, the diamonds certificate of authenticity. These certificates are issued by either the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), or the American Gem Society (AGS), or, for international diamonds wholesale, the International Gemological Institute (IGI). These are the three best known and highest respected grading laboratories, each with a similar method for identifying the 4C&#8217;s of all diamonds wholesale.</p>
<p>Any diamonds wholesale that is issued a certificate of authenticity, will cost slightly more, due to the certification charges incurred, and one should remember the objectives behind this process. Once issued, the certificate records the quality of the diamond, as it scores on the 4C&#8217;s table, it does not place a monetary value on the diamond, that requires an appraisal. It is at the appraisal that a monetary value can be placed on the diamonds wholesale, as all of the relevent, and necessary information regarding the aspects of quality, have been assessed.</p>
<p>Purchasing diamonds wholesale can prove to be a very worthwhile investment, whilst other forms of investment rise and fall, precious metals and stones have traditionally held their value over time. If you are considering investing in diamonds wholesale, try to buy the best quality possible. The value of diamonds is due to their rareness, and the more perfect the diamond is, the more rare they are to find, making high quality diamonds wholesale a very good investment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are thinking about buying loose diamonds, there are four pieces of information that are vital to the value of your considered purchase. Commonly refered to as the 4C&#8217;s amongst the jewelery trade. These four vital bits of information define the value of any loose diamonds, whether they be for purchase or resale. For those of you who are only just beginning to consider purchasing loose diamonds, here is a brief description of each one, and what it means.</p>
<p>Cut &#8211; One of the main reasons that loose diamonds sparkle and shine so much is due to the cut of each face. The more faces a diamond has, the greater the light refraction and so the quality appears greater. Typically, loose diamonds have 58 facets, or faces, this breaks down to 33 on the top face and 25 on the lower face. Greater number of cuts are available, and these are subsequently reflected in the value, and cost, of the loose diamonds.</p>
<p>Colour &#8211; Often people are surprised to learn that not all loose diamonds are clear, in fact, some of the more valuable diamonds are in fact coloured, such as the black diamonds from Brazil, often used as tips for diamond drills. Presently Blue diamonds are highly popular and sort after. These blue diamonds are more expensive, due to the process involved in colouring them, however, with limited supply, they are currently a very good loose diamond investment.</p>
<p>Clarity &#8211; Buying loose diamonds online has one major advantage over shop purchased jewelery, whilst a jeweler&#8217;s shop is brightly lit to enhance their stones, an internet site relies solely on the certification of each individual stone. Under dazzling bright lights, all diamonds sparkle. Ensure you check the true clarity of the diamond you are purchasing by asking to see the certificate of authenticity which proves all of the 4C&#8217;s discussed. The clarity of any diamond has a major effect on the quality and subsequently the purchase price of any loose diamonds.</p>
<p>Carat &#8211; When a jeweler speaks of a loose diamonds carat, they are referring to the weight of the stone. A Carat is merely a denomination of weight that jewelers employ in order to assess the weight of any loose diamonds, and although weight does have an obvious effect on the price, when it comes to loose diamonds of up to three carats, the main factor is clarity. Finds of large Carat, loose Diamonds are rare, and even when discovered, have to be cut and polished in order to enhance it&#8217;s appearance, reducing the overall size.</p>
<p>Buying loose diamonds can prove to be a wise investment. The price you pay is the value of the stones involved and not for any cosmetic settings, or fancy designs. Loose diamonds can prove to be a very good investment in times of economic turmoil, and, as history has shown, quality loose diamonds will always hold their value.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people handle stress better than others.  Some brag about their stress levels as a badge of honor.  We&#8217;ve all seen or heard that person who constantly complains about being &#8220;stressed.&#8221; They are vocal about feeling overwhelmed and may even use it as an excuse.  If every small thing is a source of anxiety, not only will it directly affect your own productivity and health, but quite likely the happiness and productivity of those around you. At the same time, I bet you know of someone who causes you think, &#8220;How does he or she do it all?&#8221; Well, chances are good that they have embraced some of the benefits of stress.</p>
<p>We all have stressors in our life.  Some are true catastrophes, such as a serious illness or a death of a family member or close friend, natural disasters that destroy our home or livelihood, or events such as the 9/11 attacks.  These are true problems, and responding to those incidents requires focus and attention and the help of those closest to us.  </p>
<p>Increasingly, everyday tasks seem to cause more people to experience significant stress.  Consider the to-do lists we keep on paper, in our phones, and in our heads.  These are those little items that wake us up at night as we wonder whether we got them finished &#8211; and cause stress.  Ultimately, how we perceive our to-do list (or our &#8220;busy-ness factor&#8221;) is personal. How we choose to view our time and perceive our stress is up to us.  Do you manage your stress or does it manage you?</p>
<p>The ability to handle stress may come naturally with age, experience, training, or perhaps simply embracing our own individual triggers by finding coping mechanisms that work best for each of us. We all know that long-term stress can be hard on our bodies &#8211; high blood pressure, insomnia, increased cortisol production, and depression as just some of the medical responses to sustained high stress levels.</p>
<p>But short-term and well-managed stress can be beneficial.  </p>
<p>Many aspects of stress (which a lot of people associate with being &#8220;busy&#8221;) are a matter of perspective, but they can also be beneficial. Here are four ways that stress, managed well, can be advantageous:</p>
<p>1.	Better work-management.  When truly focused and busy, individuals tend to prioritize and use their own time more judiciously and work more efficiently. When you are busy, the value you place on your own time is higher.  You prioritize what truly needs to be done on that to-do list.  When you are truly busy, you ask, &#8220;what meetings are truly important and what meetings are just for the sake of having a meeting?&#8221;  You delegate, &#8220;Can someone else go in my place or do I need to speak on my behalf?&#8221; You scrub the work load, &#8220;Are projects that you&#8217;re doing, or that your employees are doing, busy work or truly necessary to the organization&#8217;s mission?&#8221;</p>
<p>2.	Ignore the small stuff that needs to be ignored.  When you are working hard, you do not have time for the inconsequential.  The small stuff suddenly gets put into perceptive.  When you are focused on important events, the little things won&#8217;t bother you.  (Note: This isn&#8217;t just for the micro-managers.) For many of us, the small things may occupy a large part of the day. Perhaps every time an e-mail comes in, you feel the need to immediately address it, or the idea of a project or task not being done quite the way you might do it drives you crazy. Realize that many of those so-called &#8220;urgent&#8221; e-mails may resolve themselves without an immediate response.  Realize that success is more important than perfection. </p>
<p>3.	When you are busy, others value your time as well.  The most valuable gift we can give to others is our time, but many people allow others to squander their time, leading to frustration.  I keep a schedule every day (including weekends) and I assume everyone else does too.  I even schedule 5-minute phone calls.  If I do need to make an unscheduled phone call, I ask if they have two or five minutes to discuss a particular topic.  It they say they don&#8217;t &#8211; I sum up in 15 seconds and promise to provide details in an email.  If it is a five minute appointment, end it at 4 and a half minutes.  Busy people appreciate knowing that their time is respected.  One of the worst infractions with a busy person is wasting their time.   The reason the adage, &#8220;If you want something done, give it to a busy person&#8221; is true is because they manage their time and work load.</p>
<p>4.	Being busy is good for your health! Yes, a well-managed, busy schedule filled with mental activity fights memory loss commonly associated with becoming more mature.  A busy brain is constantly working to build new connections and link the synapses.  An active brain is a healthy brain.  Just like exercise is good for your heart, mental exercise keeps your brain young and active.<br />
So, the next time that you&#8217;re feeling a bit pinched for time with all those projects or to-do list items weighing on your shoulders, remember that you have control over your choices. Will you choose to become frazzled and overwhelmed with the &#8220;busy&#8221; or will you choose to embrace the fun and excitement of being happily active?  Completely YOUR choice.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that it is possible to purchase loose diamonds and only pay diamond wholesale prices? This does not mean that the diamonds are of a lesser, or sub-standard quality, it merely refers to the fact that it is now possible for all people to buy loose, wholesale diamonds at a much lower price than would be paid to a retail jeweler.</p>
<p>Until recently, the only way you could purchase loose diamonds and only pay diamond wholesale prices was to be in the jewelery trade and have contacts that you trust, for your wholesale diamond supplies. Since the rise in popularity of the internet and world-wide web, it is now possible for wholesale diamond sellers to connect directly with the public. This allows members of the general public access to a far wider choice of diamonds, almost all of which are sold at large discounts, in comparison to similar purchases from standard retail jewelers.</p>
<p>Previously only retailers and artisans, jewelery makers, had contact with the diamond wholesale suppliers, and used this virtual monopoly to ensure that after the loose or wholesale diamonds had been set into items of jewelery, there was a large profit once sold. However, with more and more diamond wholesale websites appearing, this monopoly has been broken, allowing people from any country and all walks of life to purchase loose diamonds at wholesale diamond prices. This has had a dramatic affect on the high street retail jewelers, as they can no longer charge over-inflated prices for their items, for fear of the customer purchasing an equivalent item far cheaper online.</p>
<p>Although there are many reputable diamond wholesale websites on the internet, it is important to choose one that has a good, long standing reputation. When choosing which website to purchase your wholesale diamonds from, ensure that they carry the correct certificates of authenticity, clearly showing the diamonds origin. Clarification of any loose diamonds is achieved using an industry standard system known as the 4C&#8217;s. With a small amount of research it will soon become possible for you to categorise any diamond, and have an understanding of how the Cut, Clarity, Carat and Colour affect the value and subsequent price of any diamond.</p>
<p>Having the opportunity to purchase diamonds and only pay diamond wholesale prices has become increasingly popular over the last few years. No longer do you have to accept the jewelery designed by other people, it is now possible to design these items yourself using the custom design templates available on most diamond wholesale websites. For many people this has offered them the chance to design their own diamond engagement ring at a much lower price than had been previously available. For more information regarding purchasing wholesale diamonds, or for the opportunity to design your own diamond engagement ring for a fraction of the price you would pay at a retail jewelery store, visit our website today.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the last decade the Western world has come to understand the terrible conditions that many African people endure in order to mine rough, loose diamonds from the ground. Often you will hear, the money made from the subsequent sale of the diamond financing the purchase of arms and ammunition, which is then used to impose, and enforce the inhuman treatment of that countries own native people. Diamonds mined, and sold under these conditions have come to be known as &#8216;Blood Diamonds&#8217; due to the blood spilt in mining and extracting them.</p>
<p>Blood Diamonds, or as they are sometimes known conflict diamonds have been clearly and precisely defined by the United Nations as &#8220;Diamonds that originate from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and Internationally recognized Governments, and are used to fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the Security Council&#8221;</p>
<p>During the 1990&#8217;s blood diamonds made up an estimated 4% of all of the worldwide loose diamonds sold. Many of these diamonds originated from Sierra Leone, with the sale of the diamond financing the purchase of arms and high-tech weaponry, which was then used in the civil conflict between the government forces and those of the opposing rebels. The conflict became so severe that a United Nations Peace-Keeping Force were deployed in the area to try to regain stability, and all this was achieved by Blood Diamond financing.</p>
<p>Due to increased International pressure, and the Kimberley Process, the sales of these conflict diamonds have decreased to an estimated 1% of the world wholesale diamond sales, which is a considerable improvement. Currently, that 1% is comprised of loose diamonds mined in the Republic Of Congo, Liberia and the Ivory Coast, all of which are being encouraged to cease blood diamond mining, and conform to United Nations Resolutions.</p>
<p>One way that the United Nations used to try to stop a conflict diamond financing further arms purchases was to introduce a certification system that required the location and origins of the diamonds to be certified and catalogued for future reference. The introduction of this process was known as the Kimberley Process Certification, and its aim was to stop these illegally mined blood diamonds from entering the sanctioned wholesale diamond supply chain. This system has dramatically reduces the amount of loose diamonds mined in war ravaged countries as it makes selling the diamonds far more difficult. Without the correct certificates, all diamond wholesalers know that the diamond being offered for sale is a conflict diamond financing civil war and the inhuman treatment of many people in less developed parts of the world. Unless you buy diamonds wholesale, these certificates are not necessary, and do not have a bearing when purchasing such items as a diamond engagement ring from a standard retail jeweler.</p>
