Pesticides and Your Health - What Are The Real Risks?

Pesticides is always a hot topic, from Alar on apples, malathion and sevin in the garden, allethrin and cinerin in ant spray to Warfarin. To help remove some of the confusion about which pesticides have the greatest health risks and health effects associated with them, and which appear to have lower risks, we've organized the information by the application.

Nate Eimer and Lisa Meyer of Eimer Stahl LLP were recognized by Law360 as Legal Lions for their January 3, 2018 victory in the Third Circuit on behalf of PDV Holding Inc., an indirect parent of Houston-based oil refiner CITGO Petroleum Corporation. The Third Circuit determined that the Canadian gold mining company Crystallex International Corporation could not bring a $2.2 billion claim against PDV Holding under the Delaware Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act premised on the alleged debts of its parents, Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A., and the government of Venezuela, where PDV Holding itself was not a debtor to Crystallex. Eimer Stahl lawyers Dan Birk, Jake Hamann, and Greg Schweizer assisted with the appeal.

A photo archive goes on display in Thessaloniki

THESSALONIKI – Leonidas Papazoglou’s rich photographic archive – which was saved almost by miracle – is showcased in «Photographic Portraits from Kastoria and its Environs at the Time of the Macedonian Struggle,» an exhibition currently on display at the Museum of Photography in Thessaloniki. The archive belongs to Giorgos Kolombias, who built the impressive collection over the years by gathering the works of the Kastoria photographer. The exhibition brings to light rare, previously unseen images of the town during the tumultuous early years of the 20th century. With a selection of more than 2,500 negatives in his hands, the collector studied Papazoglou’s archive extensively: Greek guerrilla fighters, Bulgarian partisans and Turkish soldiers, villagers and members of the middle and upper classes, all reflecting the region’s longstanding, multicultural character, where Greeks, Turks, Jews and Turkish-Albanians lived side by side. According to Kolombias, despite a certain amount of damage, the Papazoglou archive is of major importance for the history of photography. At the same time it reveals the qualities of a photographer who, nevertheless, lived in an Ottoman province: his gift of composition, his original point of view, and an ability to express peoples’ emotions as well as his excellent technique. It is precisely this excellent technique which prompted the Museum of Photography to include the exhibition as part of a tribute marking 100 years since the beginning of the Macedonian Struggle. The photos chosen for the exhibition portray scenes from the period before the independence of 1912, a transitional period in which Bulgaria and Greece were involved in a bloody dispute over the new lands, just before the end of the Turkish occupation. Meanwhile, in terms of sartorial tastes, this was also a period of growing European influence as opposed to traditional garb.

Farmers to roll out tractors across Greece over the week

Farmers in Karditsa set the tempo on Monday for nationwide action by Greek agricultural producers protesting high taxes, rising fuel costs, crippling social security contributions and seizures of properties and assets due to overdue debts.

After dozens of farmers parked their tractors on the national highway near the Thessaly city in central Greece on Monday, more of their colleagues started joining the action in other parts of the country of Tuesday.

According to an announcement by the farmers’ National Roadblock Coordination Committee, producers in Trikala and Magnesia are revving up their tractors to roll out on Wednesday, and will be followed on Thursday by their colleagues in Imathia and in Iraklio on Crete.

Larissa’s farmers, meanwhile, will not be setting up their customary protest at the Nikaia toll station, but will be moving to Platykambos when they join the nationwide protest on Thursday.

Hania and Rethymno in Crete, as well as Arta in northwestern Greece, will see their share of road blocks on Friday, while Aetoloakarnania’s turn will come on Saturday.

The action is expected to peak on Saturday, February 3, when farmers will converge on the northern port city of Thessaloniki to protest outside the annual Agrotica agricultural trade fair.

The action is not expected to cause any major disruptions on the national road network, as farmers tend to line their tractors up along the hard shoulder, though it may mean some delays for motorists when protesters are coming and going from their gathering points.

What website features do I need?

A website can be fairly basic, or it can be quite extensive, depending on your requirements. ECS will implement the features that you need, such as a store, blog, photo gallery, content management system and integrated email campaign management. One of the advantages of using ECS to develop your website is that ECS offers several levels of website content management, so that you can update your own website at any time.

Website Features

Here are some features you may want to consider for your website

  • Store. A storefront allows you to sell products on your website. If you sell commercial products, books and journals, or other material, an online store will let your customers purchase your material through your website.
  • Content management system. A website content manager allows you to change the contents of your website without having to ask your webmaster to do it. A good content manager is as easy to use as a word processor. ECS offers several levels of content managers, for adding basic articles, general content changes, realtors® and for managing publications and journals with thousands of archived articles.
  • Blog. A blog (web log) is a discussion forum where you can make posts and others can post comments and others can post comments in response. With news feeds and syndication (such as RSS), readers and aggregators. can easily monitor a number of blogs. The good thing about a blog is that it keeps people reading your material. A disadvantage is that you have to make relevant posts and also monitor the responses.
  • Bulletin board. Bulletin boards or forums were in existence long before blogs. They are generally more structured than blogs - a bulletin board can have many sub-forums, each dedicated to a specific issue or location. For example, a bulletin board could have a forum for each individual state.
  • Photo gallery. A photo gallery allows you or your webmaster to post your own photos to the website, along with captions and additional information. This is useful if you plan on adding a lot of photos. Note that even if you do not have a formal photo gallery, your webmaster can post photos to your website.
  • Email campaign manager. An email campaign manager, like the ECS Directional Mail system, lets you compose and send out newsletters, alerts, and product announcements to people who sign up for them. The email can be "branded" with your logo and "look and feel". The manager does all the "heavy lifting", such as letting people sign up, sending the emails, and handling email bounces and unsubscribes.
  • Realtor listings manager. A listings manger allows a realtor® to maintain their own listings on their website. This includes photos, descriptions, and comprehensive search capability.
  • Realtor services. This includes a range of features, such as MLS lookup, user access to prepared reports and studies, newsletters, mortgage calculators, mortgage rates and trends, affordability calculators, and community information.
  • Audio. You may want to include audio announcements, or for that matter, musical performances (with permission) on your website. ECS is highly proficient at audio editing and adding audio to a website.
  • Video. Video is a hot item. You can add video presentations, product announcements, press conferences, or videos of performances (with permission) to your website. ECS is proficient in video editing.

ECS encourages you to review our questionnaire to help determine features that you will require on your website.

PCBWay vs OSH Park vs Smart Prototyping

Recommended Posts

PCBWay VS OSH Park VS Smart Prototyping

I was working on designing a pcb for a new project when I was approached by someone at PCBWay who asked if I was willing to review their pcb service. I said yes and they offered to manufacture and send me the pcb’s for my project for free. The price calculator and ordering system is fully automated on their website, you just fill in the details, you get a price quotation, next you upload your gerber files and place your order. A day later after submitting my files I was contacted by someone who was reviewing my gerber files. After exchanging some emails on those points my order went through manufacturing and I was notified it has been shipped with DHL. About 5 days later I had the boards in my hands and let me tell you these must be the most beautiful PCBs I ever had manufactured.

This is mostly due to the nice gold plating and the matte black soldermask. Definitely perfect for making front panels as I intended for one of these pcbs.

So let’s go through some things and compare these 3 pcbs. First let’s take a look at the quality of the silkscreen. All three have white silkscreen and I tried to get similar sized text for comparison. All images have been captured under my low cost microscope, at the same magnification level on the same flat bed surface.

Unfortunately the pcb from OSH Parkdoesn’t have any silkscreen, I don’t remember why, it was a prototype I did a while ago. The most likely scenario is that I forgot to export the silkscreen layer in my gerber files.

In this case, the result is quite clear, much better printing from PCBWay, they seem to have a higher resolution print. Most of you might not care to pay extra just for a better silkscreen but then again there might be some people who are designing for example a front panel pcb which needs a nice higher resolution silkscreen.

Next let’s take a look at soldermask alignment. In this category we can compare all three, and let me explain first that, with bigger mask relief (that is the clearance from mask to exposed copper pad) it is easier to handle offsets of the soldermask with regard to the actual copper layer. So I think, manufacturers that can’t maintain a tight tolerance on their mask alignment just increase the relief to make sure the mask never accidentally covers what should be an exposed pad.

On this point, PCBWay again seems to be the best, I don’t even know what kind of process they use, but judging from the photos that I could get with my microscope, it looks like the soldermask extends right up to the copper pad with perfect alignment.

The spacing between the copper pads is also marked on the image and that is something to consider because with very low spacing some manufacturers cannot guarantee soldermask in between those pads. Having no soldermask in between pads might affect your soldering quality, you might get solder bridges more often for example. And in this test, the pcb from Smart Prototyping doesn’t get any soldermask in between those pads.

Next, let’s take a look at via/hole registration. This becomes quite important when working with small drill sizes like 0.3mm and below. You want your pcb to have that hole drilled right in the middle of the pad/via to ensure even copper distribution around it.

Starting from the left, we have PCBWay with a 0.5mm drill via, with excellent registration, clearly the winner judging by the even copper surface all around the drill hole. Next we have OSH PARK with 0.3mm tinted via, very good registration, no problem at all. And on the right we have Smart Prototyping probably 0.4mm drill tinted via, with a small offset.

So to conclude my experience with PCBWay, their website is great, you get all the info you need there and the process of ordering is very streamlined. Their customer support was very professional, not wasting time at all and the pcb quality was superb, the pictures speak for themselves.

In PCBWay, the boards are good quality and pricing is great while OSH Park is an aggregator. They collect your board files and panelize them with others to get a good price. And in case of Smart-Prototyping, especially their PCBA services. Their service is very affordable.

I've used OSH Park several times. Mixed results. They are good for smaller, low power stuff if you're ok with long turnaround times. First off, I am really impressed with PCBWay\'s speed, You can track the status of each step of manufacturing on their website. The data seems real. You can get a quote for pricing from optimatech, one of the best electronic assembly companies which comprise a fundamental metal material and we provides full-fledged services of MCPCB .

An ELI, BioCycle, and American Biogas Council Co-Sponsored Public Webinar

An estimated 35% of food that is produced is uneaten, with losses occurring along the supply chain from farms to consumers. When food waste decomposes in landfills, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas (GHG) with at least 25 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide. Many municipalities and organizations are beginning to prioritize diverting food waste from landfills by either preventing waste, rerouting edible food to the nearly 14 million food insecure households, or recycling waste through composting, animal feeding operations, or anaerobic digestion.

Of these recycling methods, anaerobic digestion (AD) – a process in which microorganisms break down organic material and create biogas and digestate that can be turned into valuable renewable energy or soil amendment and nutrient products – has substantial potential, but is still in the early stages of development and implementation in the United States.

What is the current status of AD as a recycling option for food scraps? What are the opportunities and challenges in diverting food waste from landfills to AD facilities? What policies and programs would support further development of AD facilities for food scraps? Join the Environmental Law Institute, BioCycle, American Biogas Council and leading experts as they explore these questions and seek solutions to diverting food waste from landfills and recycling to create valuable products through AD.

Discovering Processes

Elixir/Erlang systems are typically powered by thousands, or sometimes even millions of processes, which, in order to work together, frequently send messages to each other. To send a message to a process, we need to obtain its process id (aka pid). In this talk I’ll present various ways of achieving this seemingly simple task. Drawing from my own experience in wheel reinvention and choosing inappropriate solutions, I’ll discuss strengths, weaknesses, and caveats associated with each approach. After the talk you will not only be able to find your processes - you will also be able to select the best approach for each given situation.

Talk objectives

To systematically present typical techniques that can be used in one of the most important task of almost every Elixir/Erlang based system.

Target audience

Mostly people who are just starting to explore concurrency in Elixir/Erlang. More experienced programmers might also discover some useful tips.

Chaos Engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a distributed system in order to build confidence in the system’s capability to withstand turbulent conditions in production (definition by

In this talk we explore the basics of Chaos Engineering. We take a look at an system design that supports conducting chaos experiments and then we dive into some more low level approaches to injecting faults into a system under test.

First we focus on modelling a Chaos Engineering system using a functional language like Elixir. We discuss how chaos experiments and fault injections are mapped in this language. Later on, we look at the techniques to implement chaos orchestration - i.e. how to inject actual faults into a running distributed system. Finally we briefly go over ideas on how to disrupt a running Elixir node. This section explores actual Elixir code that would be injected during a chaos experiment to trigger faults in the node.

The examples in the presentation correspond to a real Chaos Engineering platform that is being developed and used at Erlang Solutions.

A Reflection on the Year

Elmhurst School for Boys

10th July 2019 | Headmaster's Blog

As this academic year draws to an end it is important to reflect on a year which has seen us celebrating our 150th anniversary. Elmhurst School is a traditional preparatory school in the sense that we ensure excellence in core skills and prepare the boys for their entrance exams into the local independent schools but we are also innovative in our approach to the curriculum which is evident in our 4Cs and our move towards a more integrated CPA approach to learning, through the development of the Elmhurst Curriculum.

The enriched Year 6 curriculum was enhanced further this year, by the introduction of our new business and enterprise project delivered by Stride Learning. This gave the boys the opportunity to develop those vital 21st-century skills and characteristics and worked well alongside their preparations for the English Speaking Board exams, residential week and their brilliantly delivered production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, in Littleheath Woods - the culmination of six years of Forest School for our Year 6 leavers.

It is clear that the Maths curriculum at Elmhurst continues to go from strength to strength. The Inspire Maths programme has had a major impact, with pupil data informing us of a significant uplift in progress in many year groups again this year. This has led to further successes in mathematical competitions such as achieving Gold in the Primary Maths Challenge National Finals and being regional winner in the National Young Mathematician Award 2019. Years 4, 5 and 6 participated in the International Maths Panjea Competition in which five boys qualified for the final. I am delighted that many of our boys performed well in this international competition and that two of our boys went on to achieve Silver and Bronze respectively.

Sport is also a strength of Elmhurst, as recognised in our Parent Survey and through the levels of participation across the school. Opportunities to participate in competitions at venues such as Merchant Taylors School, Beckenham Cricket Club, Alexander Stadium in Birmingham and the Olympic Park Swimming Pool have led to Elmhurst yielding an ISA National Champion at the 50m Backstroke, an ISA National Champion Shot Putter and an ISA National Champion in the 65m Sprint, as well as London South Regional U9 ISA Kwik Cricket Champions. Our pupils have also been inspired by meeting Team GB Olympians Peter Bakare (Volleyball) and Sean King (Water Polo), as well as the Sri Lankan National Cricket Team at Merchant Taylors School.

Our commitment to ensuring our boys become global citizens, who demonstrate empathy and awareness of others, is embedded in the fundraising that our boys do for the Joshua Orphan Community Care, which has been a focus throughout the 150th celebrations so far, with Triathlons, cake sales, mufti-days and even a staff pantomime raising money for the school and orphanage in Malawi. For the first time in our 14-year association with ‘Joshua’ Elmhurst sent two teachers out to Malawi earlier this year, to support the children by teaching lessons and to see the impact of all of the fundraising by the Elmhurst Community over the years. This left a profound impression on Mme Hargreaves, Head of French and Miss Kasza-Martin, Year 2 Form Tutor, who brought back photographs and experiences to share with all.

Whilst we look back on this past year and indeed the past 150 years, we are also always looking forward to ensure that we constantly strive to deliver an excellent experience for our boys and families at Elmhurst and with that in mind, we have already begun to make significant progress in each of our School Development priority areas for the next two years and I look forward to sharing a full update with parents next week, which will include an overview of the Elmhurst curriculum, useful books to support your son's learning around each theme and an introduction to our Elmhurst All-Rounder Award.

Finally, I hope you had the chance, in our last newsletter, to read the inspiring guest blog from our Head Boys and how being at Elmhurst has prepared them for the next vital steps in their educational journey. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all of our Year 6 boys every success as they move on to their secondary schools, in the knowledge that Once an Elmhurst Boy, Always an Elmhurst Boy.

All of our Elmhurst boys have ‘grown’ significantly this year and I am sure will benefit from a holiday and a rest.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful summer break.

I Repent ≠ I Won’t Help You

This post is the third (and final) post in a series examining how we respond when we’ve wronged our neighbor. The first post (I’m Sorry ≠ I Sinned) focused on the difference between expressing remorse and confessing guilt. The second post (I Sinned ≠ I Repent) examined our obligation beyond grieving and confession, our desire to restore what we destroyed. I ended the last post by noting that confessing our sin against our neighbor does not release us from the obligation to restore our neighbor.

An Objection

I imagined that a Christian might object: But doesn’t the grace and forgiveness found in the Gospel release us from such debt?

The answer is “no.”

Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. The debt we owe (death) was paid by him on our behalf so that we could have eternal life. His resurrection demonstrates that, among other things, the payment was accepted. Those who are united to Christ through faith are free from the wages of sin. They are forgiven and debt-free before God.

I have (unfortunately) heard professing-Christians say to those they’ve harmed things like “God has forgiven me you, so you have to forgive me too.” Make no mistake about it: that is the language of an abuser. Such a person either does not know God’s forgiveness or, knowing it, has a radically deprived understanding of what it means. (Note: anyone who tells you that you “have to” forgive them does not understand grace and is misusing Christianity for personal benefit.)

If the Gospel tells us anything, it is that payment for wrong-doing must be made. Jesus did not die for no reason. He certainly did not die because death was not required! No, his death demonstrates that God is just—he does not forgive sin without the proper payment being made.

Valuing Jesus = Valuing Restoration

What does this mean for us? It means that if we value the sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf and the resurrection that guarantees the restoration of all things, that we value appropriate payment for wrongs and restoration of what was taken.

Therefore, when we have wronged our neighbor, we want to make sure that what we destroyed is restored. For Zacchaeus, love did not mean saying, “I’ve been forgiven by Jesus, released from all my debts! And now you, my victims, get the opportunity to picture the Gospel by releasing me from all my debts!” No—it meant, as Jesus affirmed, a commitment to restoring fourfold all he had defrauded.

Gospel-Fueled Restoration

It is the Gospel (and not guilt) that fuels such a commitment to restoration. Believing that Jesus died for my sins and rose from the dead means believing that I have died with Christ and now live in him. I am no longer my own; I no longer live for myself. I belong to Christ; I live for him. I have been guaranteed an inheritance in Christ and resurrection from the dead to reign with him in the New Heavens and New Earth. This sure future means that I can let go of the present world to do what is right.

Fourfold restoration of all he defrauded others of was a costly commitment for Zacchaeus. It almost certainly meant he would exhaust his wealth. The future he once dreamed of was gone. The luxuries and comforts he once enjoyed would be no more. But he could let them go because he had joyfully received Jesus and knew he had an inheritance with him.

Let’s not settle for cheap grace—for “I’m sorry” or “I’m sorry. I sinned. Forgive me.” By grace, let’s walk in faith, in the salvation that Jesus said arrived in Zacchaeus’ home. Let’s say, “I’m sorry. I sinned against God and against you. Please forgive me. And please know that I am committed to working for your good by restoring everything that I destroyed. I will do this, even if this costs me everything I once desired because Jesus has given me more than I ever desired.”

4 Phone Battery Myths, Debunked!

In the past few years, smartphone manufacturers worked hard to improve the quality and lifespan of phone batteries—and a lot has changed ever since. It means that those tips you heard to stretch out your phone’s battery life five to 10 years ago may no longer be as effective as they once were.

So, before telling your friend with iPhone X to disable his Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, let us shed some light on the old beliefs that many of us are probably still preaching about.

Myth 1: It’s detrimental to the battery to keep it plugged in overnight.
Your touchscreen phone is called smartphone for a reason—it has smart technology that automatically stops your phone from charging when its battery reaches 100 percent recharged. Instead of continuous supply of energy from the power source to the battery, your phone enters ‘trickle charge’ mode when it is plugged in and full. With that being said, leaving your gadget charging overnight is not detrimental to its battery.

Myth 2: Keeping your Wi-Fi switched on will kill the battery sooner.
Although this is slightly true, it isn’t noticeable. Keeping your Wi-Fi does consume some energy, but very mild that that you cannot notice it. When your phone automatically searches for Wi-Fi connection, it is only catching signals from access points to let you know that there are connections nearby. This is a very low energy-consuming task and is not taking up to much battery juice at all.

Myth 3: Avoid using your phone when charging.
You’ve probably heard this advice from a concerned mom or from your tech-savvy grandpa. They say that using your phone while it is plugged in can electrocute you or make your phone explode. Although the recharging time before your battery fully juiced up is longer when your phone is in use, the performance of a charging phone’s circuitry is the same. So, if you need to make an important call or want to check your Facebook, fiddling with your phone while charging won’t harm you.

Myth 4: Disabling functions like Location Services and Bluetooth drastically improves battery life.
While this used to be true, Bluetooth and Location Services of smartphones today are no longer as bloodthirsty as before. If they used to suck the life out of your old phone’s battery like a vampire, now you can enable the function all day without noticing its toll on your phone’s performance. Although this additional use of service means additional use of energy, we are talking about a very little battery life difference—like 30 minutes shorter over the span of 24 hours, not really worth the hassle.

Now that you have a clearer idea of what your smartphone is really capable of doing, try to maximize its usage. After all, smartphones do not come cheap, so try to make the most out of yours.

10 reasons why MLM Companies fail!

10 reasons why MLM Companies fail!

Noufal P Bava
Updated on 13 July 2021
10 min read

'Failure is a stepping stone to success' - one of the most famous proverbs and it’s a truth! Many people consider failure as an opportunity. For MLM companies, failure statistics need to minimize. The goal of direct selling is positive and experts consider it an opportunity to extend product selling to a new horizon.

Let’s see what this piece of information is about over a glance as highlights,

  • 10 reasons why MLM fails
  • How to get rid of failures - The solution
Why do MLM Companies fail: Top 10 reasons!

MLM companies need to follow laws, and many companies fail to follow them. It creates a scam and according to experts, it’s not failure but utilizing the industrial identity for their benefits. Failure applies to genuine direct selling companies that follow every guideline and fail to progress to the future.

This article is for such MLM companies who want to create opportunities for product selling and become successful.

What might be the reasons for such situations?

It’s a million-dollar question that needs a proper set of answers. We’ve made good research to answer this question. Finally, we came up with 10 reasons and how to solve them.

Scalability factor: Inability to manage large business network

Growth from small scale to medium-sized businesses won’t take more than a year. If the products have the below factors then the growth rate will climb up.

  • Quality products
  • Good compensation plan
  • Skillful networkers or distributors
  • Good leadership
  • An MLM Software etc.

This can result in rapid growth and wide customer acceptance. As the business grows, the number of distributors gets attracted to become a part of the network. This drives in more sales!

However, due to some reasons, the growth starts to scale down all the way from perfect 10 to 7 and still getting down!

What might be the reason for this decline?

They have everything in their hands but still, something lacks behind. Check this article to see whether you are following all the factors to consider before choosing an MLM system.

MLM companies fail due to some reason, the missing link might be from the software side. An MLM system must be handy to manage any distributor numbers. Growth is a bi-product of the company for distributor efforts and the system must be scalable to welcome that.

Instead of a ‘declining graph’, what we need is a stable one, a graph that provides a constant 10 reading. Isn’t that what you want to happen during business analysis?

Solution: Choose a software package that provides a scalability option. If you’re a startup then you might need a basic package but make sure once the business grows the software is also scalable.

Try to find what's the factor that lacks behind. If you identified the issue and it's from the software, then it's time to switch! Migration is the best option if you're too late.

To avoid such situations, it's best to choose the best one during the initial launch itself. Choose a package that is capable of managing the business and stable to accommodate in the future.

Compensation calculation flaws

Calculating compensation for 20 members might not be complex but what if it expands?

Calculations get complex once the business starts to grow or once the distributor/customer base expands. Even though a system is capable of calculating a higher user base, there might occur a problem - ‘calculation errors or flaws’.

As a result, distributors won’t receive exact commissions/bonuses. What if an active distributor who created more opportunities didn’t receive what he actually achieved? What if the day of payout skipped and no one got the compensation?

Aren’t these factors too much to lose distributor/customer trust? What will be the final outcome of such situations?

Yes, you guessed that right, FAILURE!

What they lack here is ACCURACY! If the system is accurate then there wouldn't have been an issue.

Solution: An MLM package that tested properly with all logical conditions provides the best system. Multilevel marketing is more focused on calculations and assures to choose a premium system.

So, it's important to focus on accuracy. High accuracy must be consistent and a system must be engineered in that way.

Check for an MLM simulator availability and having such a useful tool helps to analyze the providers. If the simulator offers complex calculations then go for the demo and finish it.

The demo can be thus analyzed using an accuracy factor and then proceed further!

Lack of distributor/networker training

Training has its role to play in molding an MLM business. A strong distributor network establishes only once they get to know what they are selling and how to sell. To become a good distributor, one has to become a customer. They need to know the pros and cons of the product they sell.

“Be a customer and then if you find an opportunity then become a distributor and start earning”, a consultant would prefer this opinion.

Back to where we left-back, MLM company can afford a distributor with fewer skills & training. Yet, what if the entire distributor network lacks training?

This is yet another reason for failure!

Yet another challenge is for globally accepted direct selling companies. They will have distributors from various parts of the world. So they must get proper training, to ensure it, they use to book a meeting space. Then they conduct training classes.

Setting up such programs each time new members join is expensive. To avoid such extra expenses, they may avoid the training part. Skipping the training session is neither beneficial for distributors nor companies.

This is yet another reason for failure!

Solution: Training acts as the bridge between sales and distributors. One who gains a certain set of skills for marketing earns more.

Premium software packages are offering training modules as an add-on feature. Learning management tools offer proper tracking of distributor training. Those who complete the training can even be rewarded with company distributor certificates.

A distributor with a certified distributor profile gains more trust than a normal distributor. Customers trust matters and MLM software with learning modules can offer it!

Overflow of money as compensation

MLM company with a good distributor network is an asset and makes good revenue volume. And well they get enough compensation for their effort. At the end of the day, everyone gets their account piled up with enough money.

But, yes, there is a ‘but’, here the distributors received 75% of company revenue as commissions and bonuses. That means, the MLM company just got a profit of 25%. Is that enough to proceed further for the next year? No, not even close to the required amount!

This is yet another reason for failure, excess flow of money as distributor compensation.

Solution: Payout compression is the best available solution. A value can be set and the payout won’t exceed that limit. Say, like the MLM company can set a limit of 35% and the total compensation won’t exceed 35% of the entire company revenue.

Thereby, the MLM company can establish a sustainable business and root away from the chances of failure.

Internationalization problems: Different countries, different rules!

If the distributor goes pass every issue then for sure the business must have expanded across the globe. Expansion can also cause issues, wonder what it is? If your business network has distributors from different nations then obviously the laws that exist, they will vary.

Compensations must be based on these laws. Not just the laws, its applicable for other factors like the local currency payment, enrollment packages based on regions, etc.

Companies who don’t follow such rules will face lawsuits and ultimately, they will fail!

Solution: An advanced system that has internationalization features is the best available solution. Only a premium package can deliver such an advanced tool, and it's not an easy task when carried out manually.

Lack of teamwork

For an active business network, it’s important to make sure the efforts come from everyone. A business won’t survive for long unless equal participation is established.

Certain compensation plans consider teamwork as a criterion for payout. A balanced leg can stable compensation in the binary plan.

In short, an MLM company that lacks teamwork will end up in failure.

Solution: A simple solution to make distributors motivated with new bonuses and compensations based on the time frame. Provide them with an additional bonus if they achieve sales for a certain time period.

Companies also can set spilling preferences in compensation plans in a way to make distributors add sales on the weak leg (sales leg) and balance them to get good compensation.

Unattractive or non-appealing compensation plan

A customer gets attracted and joins an MLM company for many reasons. The compensation plan is one of them. What if the compensation plan of an MLM company is not appealing and not so attractive? The chances of bouncing back from such situations are high.

An unattractive plan can cause such actions and if they find not favorable to them, then it’s a noise. It’s a failure!

Solution: Find a good consultant and make the necessary changes. Reach them back who just got away and tell them about the new plan. Follow them up regularly and make sure they find something that triggers their interest.

Language concerns

Language is an issue and much related to the internationalization factor. Language cannot be considered as a barrier and yet it’s a concern. Languages are meant to clear the air between people and communicate with each other.

It’s not a minor factor and must give importance. As the business expands so will be the network, and their languages start to switch. They will need support on the plans or consulting or for the distributor career program, all these concerns must be satisfied. Here, the language plays an important role and the company must own language knowledge & skills.

This can lead to a universal acceptance rate of a business and fail to impress at a global level.

The same concern arises once they buy an MLM Software and have issues while connecting with the software providers.

Solution:Consider having language consultants for your MLM company and the issue will get resolved. If the issue is based on MLM software, then prefer providers who offer multi-lingual support.

Unsuitable compensation plan

While a product is considered as the identity of a brand, a compensation plan is considered as the heart of an MLM company. If the plan is perfect and executed well, then the brand will flourish to the next level.

If the plan is not suitable for an MLM company then the business will fail and wipe away from its existence.

Solution: The only solution to this issue is choosing a suitable compensation plan. A good consultant or experience in the industry lets MLM companies pick the right compensation plan. They help to find the best compensation structure as per your business requirements and offer automated solutions such as a binary compensation plan software for managing your network following binary mlm plan.

Marketing strategy failure

Marketing is the key of every product business and that is the precise definition of the multilevel marketing business model. It’s digital age and marketing must follow the latest trends. Having a website is the key factor, and alongside an e-commerce store with an affiliate program can boost business.

If an MLM business is not yet adapted to this mode then there is a great chance of getting failed. Marketing strategy must influence customers in the best way.

Solution: Hire experts or create your own strategy after studying the market carefully. Get involved in digital marketing, a simple solution is to opt for an MLM Software with advanced marketing features.

Use replicated websites, let people buy products online with e-commerce integration, affiliate plugin programs, referral links, promotional banners, etc.

In short, from all the 10 reasons, we come to a common conclusion - an efficient MLM system or software is the best available solution. Epixel MLM Software has a solution for all the above reasons for failure.

Our system offers,

  • Scalability - Supports millions of distributors in a single system, best for startups & enterprises

Imogen Murray – Leading British Team Rider, As Team Gbr Take Nations Cup Silver In France

Author: No Comments Share:
Imogen Murray

sjpbht17 imogen murray 36 orig 150x100 - Imogen Murray – Leading British Team Rider, As Team Gbr Take Nations Cup Silver In FranceImogen Murray, 23 from Leicestershire, made her British Team debut in style at Le Pin au Haras, for the 7th leg of the FEI Nations Cup, taking Team Silver and individual 10th place in the CICO***.

Riding Mr and Mrs Aivar Ward’s, 10-year old gelding by Young Convinced, the pair produced some of their best work in the dressage arena to sit mid table in 40th position after the first phase.  It is the jumping phases where this young combination, with only a combined age of 33, show their strengths.  Jumping a clear round cross country, finishing just 2 seconds over the optimum time, moved the pair up to 17th going into the final phase.

Replicating their Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials performance from May this year, Ivar Gooden and Imogen Murray produced an immaculate show jumping round to produce the only Team GBR double clear, leaving the partnership 10th individually and helping the young all female team to the Silver medal, behind a strong French home side.

 “I’m absolutely thrilled with Charles’ (Ivar Gooden) performance this week.  His dressage was much improved and I really couldn’t fault him in both the cross country and the show jumping.  To ride for Great Britain was always going to be an honour and a special occasion, but to finish as the leading team rider and with a team medal is simply fantastic, for both myself, the team, our own eventing family and owners, without whom we simply wouldn’t be here.” – Imogen Murray

The performance comes at an incredibly exciting and important time for the young partnership as they use the trip to France as their main preparation for their second CCI**** at The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials later this month.  With a double clear at CCI**** already under their belts, and a strong performance in France, the combination will present as ones to watch, at the world-famous Lincolnshire event.

Your Guide to Esports Betting in France

France may be well-known for their football team, but they also have an underrated esports scene. The country is home to some of the best FIFA, CS:GO and Dota 2 players, along with a top Fortnite players as well. Esports betting is also very popular in France, and several esports betting sites accept French players.

The Best Esports Betting Sites in France

  1. Nitrogensports
  2. BetDSI
  3. Noxwin

While there are many sports betting sites in France, most do not offer markets for esports. Since options are limited, players often need to choose sites licensed in other esports countries, the majority based in Curaçao.

Nitrogensports is a crypto-based betting platform where players can bet on casino games or esports. The site is great for CS:GO and Overwatch betting, and covers virtually any other esport you can think of. The site places their customers' privacy at the forefront of their operations, as all you need is an email address and a crypto wallet. This is great for players who want to stay completely anonymous. Read our full Nitrogensports Esports review here to learn more.

Bet at Nitrogensports

BetDSI has one of the largest sportsbooks in the world, and is one of the most popular sites in the Americas. French players are also more than welcome. The bookmaker has a dedicated esports section, offering odds on Counter-Strike betting, Dota, StarCraft, Hearthstone betting, Smite betting, and even World of Tanks betting.

Older esports fans might even remember WarCraft III player Ioan “ToD” Merlot. However, there are plenty of other popular games. In fact, Trackmania is still an ultra-popular esport in France.

Is Esports Betting Legal in France?

Esports betting is a bit of a grey area. While sports betting is legal, none of the major French betting operators offer esports betting. French esports bettors need to look for sites licensed in Curaçao or other jurisdictions for safe betting options.

Popular Esports in France

According to Esportsflag, CS:GO is the most popular esport in France, both in numbers of professional teams and professional players. It is also the top esport in terms of prize money. The second most popular esport is StarCraft II, which has more pro players than Dota 2, even though there more prize money has been won through the latter. Other popular esports include Overwatch, Hearthstone, LoL, Rocket League and Heroes of the Storm.

Top French Esports Teams

France is home to several excellent teams, many of whom have players in different disciplines. Below are four of the best.

The Top 10 French Esports Players

Prepaid Cards

Prepaid cards like paysafecard can be used for online purchases. In many cases, you can even buy the card with cash at select outlets. These prepaid cards are a handy way to turn cash into digital money, though withdrawals will have to be made through a different payment method.

State Hits 70% Vaccination Rate, Restrictions Lifted

Governor Cuomo announced that the State hit the 70% vaccination rate threshold this week and most of the public health restrictions are now lifted, including all of the restrictions on restaurants and taverns. While the Department of Health continues to recommend social distancing and mask wearing in certain indoor situations, you no longer have to enforce any special rules on your customers. In addition, all of the restrictions on your operation are now lifted.

Although the restrictions have been lifted, the special privileges you’ve been granted during the State of Emergency – alcohol to go and extended outdoor privileges – remain in place until July 5th. It’s unclear if the Governor will extend these privileges when the current Executive Order expires next month. The legislature passed a bill to allow for extended outdoor areas but, as you’ll read below, they failed to extend alcohol to go. We’ll post updates on our website as we receive more information.

Principles of Management

Explaining Change to Employees

How changes within an organization are understood and perceived is an important aspect of management. Explaining change can make the difference between having employees who are accepting of the change and having employees who feel a lack of control or a lack of trust in management. Effective communication can determine the success or failure of major organizational changes, such as layoffs or the cutting of employee benefits or retirement plans. It is not only important to explain major changes but to explain even minor policy changes as well. Employees understanding why a requirement or standard has been set can decide whether or not that requirement will be accepted and met by employees.

An example of why explaining even small changes such as product requirements or standards is important can be seen in an article titled How Understanding the ‘Why’ of Decisions Matters from the Wall Street Journal. The article gave the example of a cheese manufacturing company that set a new weight requirement for their large blocks of cheese. The reason they set this weight requirement is so customers could cut the cheese into smaller blocks without having to weigh each piece. At first, the workers met the requirement, but once the management stopped monitoring the weights, the workers went back to producing the cheese as they previously did: producing the cheese as quickly as possible without worrying about the weight. The management never explained to the employees why the requirement was made so the employees assumed that the requirement was unimportant. Ensuring that even small changes like this are adequately explained to employees can be critical to a company’s short term success, because according to the article, employees of companies that explained decisions more fully were more than two times more likely to support decisions than workers who received less information. A vice president from the company eventually went in person to the company’s cheese plants and explained the decision to workers, and predictably, the cheese went back to being produced with little weight variation. This instance is a good example for why explaining even small decisions matters.

Another example of the importance of explaining decisions from the Wall Street Journal article is the way managers from the company Appleton papers Inc. handled personnel moves. The managers did not explain the reasoning behind personnel moves to employees which led workers to think that the shuffling was random. Employees resent being moved too often especially if they think that they are being moved randomly. A plant manager from the company said that if management doesn’t offer explanations, “people will work together to develop their own reason.” Much of the time, the conclusion that employees come to on their own is that the upper management of the company is making decisions with little concern for the preferences of the employees.

If employees can’t understand the logic behind a new change, they are more likely to resist the change. There are several factors that relate the degree of employee acceptance of a major change. One important piece of information that must be revealed to employees in regard to a change is who was involved in the decision. Employees may assume that unpopular changes were made by uninformed managers who had no concern for the employees who may be inconvenienced by the change. The more people feel that their interests were taken into account, the more likely it is that they will feel that the decision that was made was a sound one. It is also important that middle managers be the first to be informed when a decision is made. This is so the managers will have proper answers to workers’ questions. It is better for there to be a unified message coming from the middle management than if it seems that the message concerning the change is only coming from a detached upper management. The upper management should make it clear to employees whether a decision can be changed or not. Telling employees that they are “equally empowered” may lead them to believe that they can influence the final decision. It is better for management to make it clear that the decision for change is final rather than invite feedback from employees with no intentions of actually considering it, because that will lead to even further employee dissatisfaction.

Most management experts say that employees are most likely to be accepting of a decision when they are actually involved in the decision making process. This may not always be possible, but managers should at least make employees feel like they were involved. The way to do this is to fully inform the employees of the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind the decision. This includes how the decision was made, the reasons behinds

History of Philosophy

Page 1 of 3

Essay title: History of Philosophy

Philosophy is a vast field. It examines and probes many different fields. Virtue, morality,

immortality, death, and the difference between the psyche (soul) and the soma (body) are just a few of the

many different topics which can be covered under the umbrella of philosophy. Philosophers are supposed

to be experts on all these subjects. The have well thought out opinions, and they are very learned people.

Among the most revered philosophers of all time was Socrates. Living around the 5th century B.C.,

Socrates was among the first philosophers who wasn't a sophist, meaning that he never felt that he was

wise for he was always in the pursuit of knowledge. Unfortunately, Socrates was put to death late in his

life. One of his best students, Plato, however, recorded what had occurred on that last day of Socrates'

life. On that last day of his life, Socrates made a quite powerful claim. He claimed that philosophy was

merely practice for getting used to death and dying.

At first, the connection between philosophy and death is not clear. However, as we unravel

Socrates' argument backing up his claim, the statement makes a lot of sense. In order for Philosophers to

examine their world accurately and learn the truth accurately, they must remove them selves of all

distractions. These not only include physical distractions, but they include mental distractions and bodily

distractions as well. Philosophers must get used to viewing and examining the world with out any senses.

Senses merely hinder and obscure the truth. Sight for example can be fooled easily with optical illusions

which occur normally in nature. Sound can be very distracting as well when a philosopher is trying to

concentrate. All of these cloud the judgement, and must therefore be detached from the soul. Socrates

argues that philosophers must view the world around them with their souls in order to accurately learn

about it. However, by detaching their souls from all bodily functions, philosophers may as well be in an

induced state of death. In mortem,

Essay title: Popular Culture and Print Media

Popular Culture and Print Media

Nancy Young

University of Phoenix

SOC / 105

March 14, 2008

Two of the oldest forms of advertising, would be print media, and word of mouth. There are several forms of print media advertising, such as newspaper and magazines. But these are not the only way advertizing is put into the public, there are many other successful ways ads can be thrown into the public eye, such as billboard adds, brochures put under an idivduals windsheild wipers, bus stop benches, and even ads on the buses. Everywhere a person may look, he or she will find some kind of media placement strategically placed to catch the attention of the spacific onlookers. The print media has been keeping the public informed of information consisting of the lives of human beings, mother nature, products and services, by extending the knowledge of a story or report across the nation. Some of the popular trends that have been propagated by the print media, which has grabed my attention, are food, health clubs and fashions. First let my start by examining the popular food trend.

More americans are staying at home instead of dinning out. They prefer foods that are quick and easy and attempt to keep them healthy. Because indivduals are dinning grocery stores are seeing their sales escalate. The top 10 trends consist of: no-prep, meat and potoatoes, new-age dairy, culinary melting pot (ethinc foods), one-dish meals, suppers at home, bottled water, snack attacks, fruits and veggies, cooking oils and condiments. вЂњWhen it comes to fats, Americans are choosing healthier options -- with nearly one-quarter using olive oil and canola oil.вЂќ (WebMD, 2003) Food is an important artifact of the popular American culture. The actions and attitudes of Americans effect the popular culture. вЂњThere has been an increasing trend in the United States toward consumerism, a trend that is reflected in more people eating away from home; the use of dietary and herbal supplements; foods for specific groups (e.g., dieters, women, athletes, older adults); the use of convenience and functional foods and ethnic diversity in diets.вЂќ (National, 2008) Eating away from, such as fast food restaurants has cause obesity in some Americans, which has caused an increase in weight loss programs and health clubs.

вЂњHealth and fitness awareness is at an all-time high. There are segments on the news and in newspapers dedicated specifically to the topic and hundreds of magazines to feed consumer information about wellness.вЂќ(Wachkolder, 2000) Getting fit is all about being healthy in todayвЂ™s culture. Being cultural standards everyone wants to look his or her best, no matter what the cost. Looking good in a thong leotard over hot pink tights is no longer the fitness paradigm. вЂњFitness today is more about wellness. Certainly no one has lost the desire to look good вЂ” that's a cultural standard вЂ” but what is waning is the need to look good at all costs.вЂќ(Wacholder, 2000) The challenger of the вЂњlooking goodвЂќ standard has become Americans wanting to become fit and healthy. Becoming fit causes the purchasing of clothing to rise. Most Americans today want to look good body wise and in clothing, but most important be healthy.

The past year in fashion has been best described as an extravaganza. вЂњDesigners celebrated anniversaries with blow-out bashes and spectacular shows staged in exotic locales.вЂќ (Fashion, 2007) This extreme atmosphere was caused by high dollar companies,
