| element electronics winnsboro sc: Making It in America John Bassett, Ellis Henican, 2016-05-10 Everyone knows you can't build things in America anymore. Everyone, that is, except John D. Bassett III. While one corporation after another exported their manufacturing to high-volume factories in low-wage locations overseas, Bassett's traditional wood bedroom furniture manufacturing company has not only survived, but thrived, making premium products right here in America. When everyone else was rushing for the exits, Bassett bet on the talent, dedication, and uncompromising quality of American workmanship. And he won. In Making It in America, Bassett tells you the secrets that have made Vaughan-Bassett Furniture so successful doing what everyone said couldn't be done. Drawing on rich life experience, including the everyday challenges running a traditional manufacturing company, Bassett constructs a 12-point plan to achieve successful leadership in any business. These steps include: Have a winning attitude, respect your employees, don't panic, reinvest constantly, and make the best of the worst. Bassett's story is about how those values underpinned his personal success and how they can revitalize America itself. In the face of feckless leadership, crumbling infrastructure, and global competition, Bassett's story is a blueprint for how America can revitalize its role as leader of the free world and how your success can be part of it. |
| element electronics winnsboro sc: Reshoring Ade Asefeso MCIPS MBA, 2014-08-14 Reshoring is essentially the opposite of offshoring, it is a term used to describe the act of bringing back offshored manufacturing to a country. In the beginning of 2011, for the most part, most people thought that this was just impossible, that there would be no reshoring to the U.S. or UK, that everything was going to China, manufacturing was leaving both countries and it will never come back and I think the striking thing is how much that's changed in the last three years. You went to China because it was just so cheap you couldn't help it; but if you've got the engineers and people in the U.S. or UK, and the customer base in the U.S. or UK, you'd like to be close to the customer. It gives you a shorter supply chain. |
| element electronics winnsboro sc: Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word Fred P. Hochberg, 2021-01-26 “A sprightly and clear-eyed testimonial to the value of globalization” (The Wall Street Journal) as seen through six surprising everyday goods—the taco salad, the Honda Odyssey, the banana, the iPhone, the college degree, and the blockbuster HBO series Game of Thrones. Trade allows us to sell what we produce at home and purchase what we don’t. It lowers prices and gives us greater variety and innovation. Yet understanding our place in the global trade network is rarely simple. Trade has become an easy excuse for struggling economies, a scapegoat for our failures to adapt to a changing world, and—for many Americans on both the right and the left—nothing short of a four-letter word. But as Fred P. Hochberg reminds us, trade is easier to understand than we commonly think. In Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word, you’ll learn how NAFTA became a populist punching bag on both sides of the aisle. You’ll learn how Americans can avoid the grim specter of the $10 banana. And you’ll finally discover the truth about whether or not, as President Trump has famously tweeted, “trade wars are good and easy to win.” (Spoiler alert—they aren’t.) Hochberg debunks common trade myths by pulling back the curtain on six everyday products, each with a surprising story to tell: the taco salad, the Honda Odyssey, the banana, the iPhone, the college degree, and the smash hit HBO series Game of Thrones. Behind these six examples are stories that help explain not only how trade has shaped our lives so far but also how we can use trade to build a better future for our own families, for America, and for the world. Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word is the antidote to today’s acronym-laden trade jargon pitched to voters with simple promises that rarely play out so one-dimensionally. Packed with colorful examples and highly digestible explanations, Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word is “an accessible, necessary book that will increase our understanding of trade and economic policies and the ways in which they impact our daily lives” (Library Journal, starred review). |
| element electronics winnsboro sc: Trump – Die Halbzeitbilanz Frankfurter Allgemeine Archiv, 2018-12-19 Amerika wieder großartig machen – hinter dieser Parole versammelten sich 2016 rund 63 Millionen Wähler, die in Donald Trump denjenigen sahen, der Amerikas Untergang abwenden und sie aus Not und Bedrängnis befreien werde. Rund zwei Jahre später, zur Halbzeit der Präsidentschaft des Immobilienmoguls mit deutschen Vorfahren, steht die große Mehrheit dieser Kernklientel felsenfest zu ihrem Mann. Genauso fest, wie das andere Lager in unerschütterlicher Gegnerschaft zu ihm steht. Versöhnung? Überwindung der Spaltung der Vereinigten Staaten? Fehlanzeige. Die Gräben, die Politik und Gesellschaft durchziehen, sind noch tiefer und noch breiter geworden. Donald Trump war angetreten, um vermeintlicher Benachteiligung der Vereinigten Staaten ein für alle Mal ein Ende zu machen, den Sumpf der Korruption in Washington trockenzulegen und den angeblichen Volksverrätern, den Eliten, ans Leder zu gehen. Keine Kontinuität, sondern Disruption – das ist das, was er wollte, was er versprochen hat zu tun und wovon er nicht abgeht. Von der Abkehr vom Pariser Klimaabkommen bis zur Abwendung vom Atom-Vertrag mit Iran hat er es auch wahr gemacht. Aber seine Krawallrhetorik im Inneren und seine Politik der Ausgrenzung sowie der Stil des Denunzierens und des Verächtlichmachens schaden dem Ansehen der Vereinigten Staaten in der Welt – und sie tun ihnen selbst nicht gut. Das vorliegende eBook zieht nach zwei Jahren eine erste Bilanz. Was hat Trumps Politik in der Welt verändert, zerstört oder sogar Gutes bewirkt? Ist hinter seinem erratisch erscheinendem Handeln gar eine politische Idee verborgen, die sich dem Beobachter lediglich nicht erschließt? |

| element electronics winnsboro sc: The 1619 Project Nikole Hannah-Jones, The New York Times Magazine, 2024-06-04 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER • A dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present. “[A] groundbreaking compendium . . . bracing and urgent . . . This collection is an extraordinary update to an ongoing project of vital truth-telling.”—Esquire NOW AN EMMY-NOMINATED HULU ORIGINAL DOCUSERIES • FINALIST FOR THE KIRKUS PRIZE • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, Esquire, Marie Claire, Electric Lit, Ms. magazine, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist In late August 1619, a ship arrived in the British colony of Virginia bearing a cargo of twenty to thirty enslaved people from Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and unprecedented system of American chattel slavery that would last for the next 250 years. This is sometimes referred to as the country’s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the source of so much that still defines the United States. The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning 1619 Project issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This book substantially expands on that work, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society, from politics, music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to capitalism, religion, and our democracy itself. This book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction—and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.

| element electronics winnsboro sc: Rural by Design Randall Arendt, 2017-11-08 For America’s rural and suburban areas, new challenges demand new solutions. Author Randall Arendt meets them in an entirely new edition of Rural by Design. When this planning classic first appeared 20 years ago, it showed how creative, practical land-use planning can preserve open space and keep community character intact. The second edition shifts the focus toward infilling neighborhoods, strengthening town centers, and moving development closer to schools, shops, and jobs. New chapters cover form-based codes, visioning, sustainability, low-impact development, green infrastructure, and more, while 70 case studies show how these ideas play out in the real world. Readers —rural or not—will find practical advice about planning for the way we live now. |

| element electronics winnsboro sc: Sharing Common Ground Billy Keyserling, Mike Greenly, 2020-09-24 Written by the Mayor of Beaufort, SC, Sharing Common Ground: Promises Unfilled but Not Forgotten is a call to action for the nation to learn the iinformative untold stories of the Reconstruction Era during and following the Civil War. Understanding this period can help unshackle us from our unknown past and help us understand, where we can from, why the chaotic racial discord separates us and how through history we can rebound to be the America that promises freedom, social, legal and economic justice and opportunity for all. Having achieved the Reconstruction Era National Historical Park in his hometown in 2019, the Mayor and many who worked to attain recognition of this important period, are reaching out to assemble a network of teachers who are learning how to teach, through experiencial arts infused methods, the sensitive subject to 11-15 year old students who ask the questions about people, places and stories and then tell them to their peers, families and others in a vernacular that all can understand. Students will produce short documentary videos, visual art, and written and spoken words to delivery their messages so that others can understand. The net result will be conversations in homes, among faith based and community organizations, publications and materials for teachers to share. |
| element electronics winnsboro sc: The Wal-Mart Way Don Soderquist, 2005-04-19 Since Sam Walton's death in 1992, Wal-Mart has gone from being the largest retailer in the world to holding the top spot on the Fortune 500 list as the largest company in the world. Don Soderquist, who was senior vice chairman during that time, played a crucial role in that success. Sam Walton said, I tried for almost twenty years to hire Don Soderquist . . . But when we really needed him later on, he finally joined up and made a great chief operating officer. Responsible for overseeing many of Wal-Mart's key support divisions, including real estate, human resources, information systems, logistics, legal, corporate affairs, and loss prevention, Soderquist stayed true to his Christian values as well as Wal-Mart's distinct management style. Probably no other Wal-Mart executive since the legendary Sam Walton has come to embody the principles of the company's culture-or to represent them within the industry-as has Don Soderquist, Discount Store News once reported. In The Wal-Mart Way, Soderquist shares his story of helping lead a global company from being a $43 billion company to one that would eventually exceed $200 billion. Several books have been written about Wal-Mart's success, but none by the ones who were the actual players. It was more than Everyday Low Prices and distribution that catapulted the company to the top. The core values based on Judeo-Christian principles-and maintained by leaders such as Soderquist-are the real reason for Wal-Mart's success. |

| element electronics winnsboro sc: Payoff Dan Ariely, 2016-11-15 Bestselling author Dan Ariely reveals fascinating new insights into motivation—showing that the subject is far more complex than we ever imagined. Every day we work hard to motivate ourselves, the people we live with, the people who work for and do business with us. In this way, much of what we do can be defined as being “motivators.” From the boardroom to the living room, our role as motivators is complex, and the more we try to motivate partners and children, friends and coworkers, the clearer it becomes that the story of motivation is far more intricate and fascinating than we’ve assumed. Payoff investigates the true nature of motivation, our partial blindness to the way it works, and how we can bridge this gap. With studies that range from Intel to a kindergarten classroom, Ariely digs deep to find the root of motivation—how it works and how we can use this knowledge to approach important choices in our own lives. Along the way, he explores intriguing questions such as: Can giving employees bonuses harm productivity? Why is trust so crucial for successful motivation? What are our misconceptions about how to value our work? How does your sense of your mortality impact your motivation? |

All of them take you straight to the heart of great moments of crisis. You’ll know what it’s like to look down at the wide Pacific and realize that your plane is going to ditch there. You’ll twist the wheel of your racing car as it takes a narrow turn at Indianapolis. You’ll struggle in cabin 56 of the S.S. Andrèa Doria during its five last frantic hours. In these and other stories, Cornelius Ryan, ace journalist, has caught the essence of that split-second that may be a man’s last. Two of these pieces have won Benjamin Franklin Magazine awards. “One Minute To Ditch!”—Thirty-one men, women and children high over the mid-Pacific in a failing plane. (Dramatized on TV.) Five Desperate Hours in Cabin 56—A story of the sinking of the S.S. Andrèa Doria told in gripping minute-by-minute detail. (Dramatized on TV.) The Major of St. Lô—A classic of the Normandy invasion, an unforgettable true story of quiet heroism. (Dramatized on TV.) These and other factual accounts are moving documents of crisis: of courage against the sudden fact of very possible death. |

When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.Truth is when I became a man at eighteen I didn't know what to do. Ya see all my life I was raised to believe that to be a man you have to be brave, strong, a protector, a provider, and never show weakness or emotion but most of all never cry.As I think about that today, I remember the words of Malcolm X You've been had You've been took! You've been hoodwinkedBamboozled! led astray! Run amuck! We didn't land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us.Everything I learned about being a man was a lie. So where do I go from here? |
