On its face, the debate over right-to-work is about an arcane bit of labor law—whether workers under a contract that was collectively negotiated by a union should have to pay dues to that union, regardless of whether they're members. But that debate is a proxy for a larger battle that is less about employment law than political jockeying: Unions tends to align with Democrats, and as a result, if it becomes more difficult for unions to collect dues, they'll be weakened and less able to advocate for the political causes of their choosing.
The move unified the various Amway companies worldwide. "We're now reintroducing our brands in North America, moving away from Quixtar and going back to the Amway name", said Steve Lieberman, managing director of Amway Global. "We decided there were a number of roads we had to go down in order to recreate awareness for a brand that, quite frankly, a lot of people felt had gone away."[5]
America is too skeptical! The Federal Trade Commissions ruled in 1979 that Amway is NOT a Pyramid Scheme but reather a multi-level marketing company. I'm not an Amway rep nor do I buy their products so I don't have any skin in the game here. I just did my research. Folks that believe this crap don't realize that 90 plus % of all the negative comments on the net actually come from true Pyramid companies to make legitimate multi-level marketing companies look bad. Pyramids are illegal. Multi-level marketing companies are very legit. Other than Amway, Avon, Tupperware, Home Interiors, Pampered Chef and Kirby Vacuum just to name a few. By the Way, Warren Buffet owns Pampered Chef and has stated on more than one occasion that he would own more for them if he could talk the owners into selling. Home based business's will make you more money than any other occupation you can be involved with. All legitimate multi-level marketing companies have to be members of the DSA (Direct Selling Association – http://www.DSA.org). If a company is found to be a Pyramid Scheme they cannot be a member of the DAS. Also, all multi-level marketing companies have to have 100% approval all State Attorney's Generals in all 50 states (again do your research). Stop and think about where you work. There's most likely a manager, then assistant managers, and on down the line. Put it on paper and see what it looks like. Kind of shaped like a pyramid isn't it. You probably worked your butt off to convince somebody to hire you at a job you hate. Ans then, you work your butt off everyday to make those above you "rich". All you do everyday is tread hours for dollars. Don't place your belief on what others tell because they've most likely are just repeating what somebody told them and have no experience. Look at a third party website such as http://www.successfromhome.com and go to the store and buy one of there magazines.
Studies of independent consumer watchdog agencies have shown that between 990 and 999 of 1000 participants in MLMs that use Amway-type pay plans in fact lose money.[115][116][citation needed] According to The Skeptic's Dictionary, "In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission requires Amway to label its products with the message that 54% of Amway recruits make nothing and the rest earn on average $65 a month."[117]
Even so, among the DeVoses' skeptics, there are those who strike a hopeful, if cautious, tone. "I think Mrs. DeVos could potentially be a really good secretary of education if she allowed parents and school districts to make policy at the local level," says Daniel Quinn, executive director of the Great Lakes Center for Education Research and Practice, a nonprofit that receives a portion of its funding from the National Education Association. "But at the same time, I'm concerned."
The prospect is alarming enough that Charles Paul Conn, in Promises to Keep, works hard to prove it'll never happen. "The reality," he tells us, "is entirely different from what might be predicted by a statistician with a slide rule." He points to the millions of likely untapped prospects—youths, retirees, downsized professionals, foreigners—although he fails to acknowledge that recruiting them would only make the Business hungrier. More plausibly, he adds that Amway is a small part of the population and will stay that way. The Business's high dropout rate, he explains, though "often cited as a negative factor, actually serves to keep the pool of potential distributors large." In other words, Amway's salvation is its high rate of failure.
Amway is unethical way of making money. Their representative lure you to this smartly designed plan. Amway's representatives misguide and misinform like any other business or a product's sale representatives. which is attractive to listen for the first time with the 'Entrepreneur" motto. But it is another way of making money leaving you frustrated in the end. I advise every one not to join this unethical product promotion. Parent company is becoming richer,leaving you as "partner" (as it's trained representatives claim) in total despair in the end. It is your hard earned money,think smartly before lending it to someone's hand.
Methodology: "Source Euromonitor International Limited; Claim verification based on Euromonitor research and methodology for Amway Corporation conducted from January through February 2018. Euromonitor defined "satisfaction guarantee" as any product that has the word "guarantee" or "guaranteed" on the label, or is publicly backed by a guarantee policy by the direct seller on their website or through publicly-available collateral material or product catalogue. Promise of "money back" is not required, nor need it adhere to a specific time frame (e.g. "90 day guarantee"). In 2018, all Amway products are covered by a company-wide satisfaction guarantee, and Amway has greater sales than all other direct sellers. To the extent permissible, Euromonitor does not accept or assume responsibility to any third party in respect of this claim.
The DeVos family's charitable giving and political activism sprawls across three generations. It's not just Dick and Betsy, but Richard and Helen's other children, too. There's Daniel DeVos, who chairs the Orlando Magic, an NBA franchise the family owns, and his wife, Pamella. There's Doug DeVos, Amway's current president and the chair of the executive committee of the National Constitution Center, and his wife, Maria. There's Cheri DeVos, who sits on the board at Alticor, Amway's parent company. And there's their children, a generation of young adults ready to carry the baton.
Rich and Jay go into business together selling Nutrilite vitamins, an early multilevel marketing scheme for which Jay's second cousin and his parents are already distributors. When Nutrilite goes kaput in 1948 after an FDA crackdown on their 'excessive claims' regarding the products' nutritional values (about which Rich only says, 'Until then, there had been no official government position on what type of claims could be made about dietary supplements'), he and Jay strike out on their own – the American way. They can do it! We know they can!
Sometimes we brought along a camera and took pictures of one another walking around the houses. We saw two or three in a day and then took the film to be developed. Back in our three-bedroom, we looked at the photos together, then stored them in fresh albums. In the photos, we wore the same outfits while the houses around us changed. We were the proud owners of three beautiful homes, the photos said – or this was one big home. One monstrous behemoth of a home comprised of three mansions smashed together.
I can promise you will lose friends and lovers. If that's worth it to you then go forth, but be aware that for the participant (or victim) in this, your loss of friendships will sometimes be invisible, and occasionally worth much more than you ever thought. It's an honest decision - you shouldn't be friends with someone who treats you this way. Every single person who has fallen into this trap I have seen lose friends in the long run, even if we tried to see past it. It's a black mark of a terrible person. When someone tells you who they are, you should listen to them.
The DeVoses supported an amendment to the US House of Representatives' omnibus Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill for fiscal year 2018 by US Representative John Moolenaar that would have limited the ability of the FTC to investigate whether MLMs are pyramid schemes.[136] The amendment would have disbarred the Treasury Department, the Judiciary Department, the Small Business Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the FTC, or any other agencies from using any monies to take enforcement actions against pyramid operations for the fiscal year.[137] It also adopted provisions from H.R. 3409, the so-called "Anti-Pyramid Scheme Promotion Act of 2016,"[138] which would blur the lines between legitimate MLM activity and pyramid schemes established under the original 1979 FTC case by deeming sales made to people inside the company as sales to an "ultimate user," thus erasing the key distinction made in the ruling between sales to actual consumers of a product and sales made to members of the MLM network as part of recruitment of members or to qualify for commissions.[137][138][139] The amendment was opposed by a coalition of consumer interest groups including Consumer Action, the Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union (the publisher of Consumer Reports magazine), Consumer Watchdog, the National Consumers League, and the United States Public Interest Research Group (US PIRG),[138] as well as Truth in Advertising (TINA.org) in its original incarnation.[139]
While noting that the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or liability, Amway acknowledged that it had made changes to its business operations as a result of the lawsuit. The settlement is subject to approval by the court, which was expected in early 2011.[10] The economic value of the settlement, including the changes Amway made to its business model, totals $100 million.[131]
@yoonyoung People don't know facts, people are unaccountable, people need leadership period. As a IBO with prior military service and had spent 5 years in the service building soldiers into leaders this business is dynamic. If the plan is not followed it will fail, but only fails if the IBO does not follow the blue print laid out by the upline who has fruit on the tree. Thank you for your post!
I was completely unsuspecting and was actually quite excited about this opportunity. I was supposed to have dinner with him and his mentor but we had to take a rain check on it due to my school commitments. His mentor ended up explaining some stuff to me via a Skype video call. He mentioned their "hub" where I could buy products I buy regularly anyway. Stuff like toilet papers, energy drinks, supplements, etc. He said I could save $600 just by purchasing this stuff through this hub.
My name is Matt and I am with the World Wide Group. We have Amway as one of our main distributors. Many people think bad things on Amway because of how Amway reps handled business in the past. Like many other companies however, they've transformed the ways of doing business to better suit the entrepreneurs out there. Most people, when trying to start a business pay tens of thousands of dollars trying to get set up just to open shop. This company allows you the opportunity to start your business for very little. Amway has a bad history (I'll give ya that), but now days they do all the hard work for us. They take care of all the contracts with other companies as well as maintain the cost of organizations for the consumers. If Amway was a sketchy company, do you really think that all these hundreds of fortune 500 companies would be lined up for partner with Amway? Just something to think about. This isn't a door to door salesman thing, nor is it a sell out of your garage kind of business, unless for whatever reason you want it to be. Starting up with this company allows you to do all the shopping you do anyway at your own store rather than going and giving someone else your money. Everyone that's looking at this right now already does what I do….only I get paid for it. It's that simple and true, whether you want to hold onto your opinions or not. When you teach other people how to shop off their own site, that's when bonus checks start building. You can easily make more money than anyone that signs you up by simple working your business better. It's not a get rich quick and it can be hard if you're not a people person, but it's a solid business if you're wanting something real, but like any business it takes your efforts to build your dreams. If you're wanting to build your dreams and are looking at these types of posts, then it's obvious that you need to change something in your life. Whether your change involves this business or another, I hope you take actions towards building those dreams sooner than later. If you're interested in taking the next step in you life and want to take a better look at this, then you can email me at s.generator@hotmail.com.... I'm simply here to help. You can visit my website to see what the business looks like. Find the link to partner stores on my site to see what stores partner up with us. www.ampenterprises.mychoices.biz.
Whereas The Plan is supposed to provide a simple means to a desirable end, for Josh, Jean, and Sherri the process of recovery had become an end in itself. Josh and Jean would constantly tell me how World Wide's books and advice had enriched their marriage and helped them to communicate with each other (the bolstering of marriage and family is a major theme in Amway). The Amway lore is also full of distributors, perhaps abused as children, who "couldn't even look people in the eye" when they joined, but who were now confidently showing The Plan to all and sundry.
In his online book "Merchants of Deception", former Quixtar IBO Eric Scheibeler stated that he and his family received death threats from his uplines during a business meeting and from an anonymous phone call. In 2006, a Swedish newspaper published statements attributed to Scheibeler which implied that Amway/Quixtar employees were responsible for these threats. Amway and Quixtar sued Scheibeler on February 27, 2007 for defamation.[40] In July 2007, Scheibeler wrote a letter to an attorney for Amway and Quixtar clarifying among other things that, to his knowledge, Doug DeVos or Amway/Quixtar employees never made any death threats to him.[41]
Year by year, cycle by cycle, the DeVoses built a state Legislature in their own image. By the time Democrat Jennifer Granholm was term-limited in 2010 and Republican Rick Snyder was elected governor without any political experience, it was the DeVoses, not Snyder, who knew how to get things done. Unlike the Engler years, this time, they had more sway than the governor.
Individuals may buy products through Quixtar's web site with a referral number from an IBO. Quixtar also gives IBOs the option to create free personal websites that can be personalized to focus on health, beauty, health and beauty,[13] and/or gift and incentive products. The referring IBO then receives the retail/wholesale profit (usually 30%), and a percentage ("bonus") of the cost of the sold goods (from 3% up to 31% depending on total PV generated), with Quixtar-exclusive products yielding a higher bonus per dollar in Point Value and Business Value (PV/BV). Quixtar offers a wide range of products for its IBOs to purchase for personal use and/or to sell to customers through Quixtar.com and IBO personal e-commerce sites.
People are so quick to jump to conclusions about things they have no understanding or experience of. I love seeing all the positive feedback tho. With anything good in this world there will always be ignorant people (like the person who wrote this article) who will try and bad mouth things. I'm not here to pick a fight, but do your own research before trusting a single article like this.
"Amway differed in several ways from pyramid schemes that the Commission had challenged. It did not charge an up-front "head hunting" or large investment fee from new recruits, nor did it promote "inventory loading" by requiring distributors to buy large volumes of nonreturnable inventory," said Debra A Valentine, a general counsel for the FTC, in a seminar organised by the International Monetary Fund in May 1998.
If Engler thought he had anointed a rubber stamp, he quickly learned otherwise. In January 1997, DeVos cleared house, unilaterally firing all of the party's top directors and pausing all contracts with vendors, blaming them for the party's losses months earlier. "Betsy regarded the governor's input as good advice, not an order," Greg McNeilly, a close associate of Betsy DeVos, told an Engler biographer years later. "That's when the problems started."
With its affiliates around the world, Amway Global is a leader in the $80 billion global direct-selling industry. Established in 1959 as a seller of household cleaners, the company expanded and diversified over the years and today is a leader in Health and Beauty through its NUTRILITE brand of nutritional supplements and the ARTISTRY brand of skin care and cosmetics.
Enter Jay Van Andel, Amway's other cofounder. Jay had a 1929 Model A, which Rich had noticed both driving down his street and also parked outside his high school. 'I thought a ride in this car would surely beat the bus, a streetcar, or walking,' says Rich. The rest is as saccharine as you would expect: good American boys working hard to make their dreams come true – an adventure full of family values and sturdy bootstraps with which one can pull himself up. It begins with the heartwarming story of their first joint business venture, running a pilot school, then segues into a comedy-of-errors trip on a sailboat – a typical masculine coming-of-age experience rooted in good old-fashioned American values like cooperation, perseverance, and leadership.
On their request, we went to some meetings, where the same thing - earn $50k to $70k. They call winners on stage based on their performance. They say those members earned lakhs (a hundred thousand). But no one has the guts to ask them to show their account statement which reflects their receipt of payment from Amway. Fooling people. You pay 8 to 10 times higher than our Indian items.
Multilevel marketing (MLM) is an attractive business proposition to many people. It offers the opportunity to become involved in a system for distributing products to consumers. Unlike the person starting a business from scratch, the MLM participant has the support of a direct selling company that supplies the products and sometimes offers training as well.
Amway breaks down its commission by PV and BV. The PV is your total point value for monthly sales, while your BV is percentage cash value based on the PV. There are possible bonuses at certain PV levels. The actual cash value of your downline is predictably complicated and, like credit card points, cleverly encourage more spending on Amway's products.
Now, however, the DeVoses were on their own, pushing Prop 1 with minimal support from the state's Republican establishment. Among the broader public, the opposition was fierce and widespread. "That was one of the best campaigns I was ever on," says Julie Matuzak, who was, at the time, the American Federation of Teachers' top political hand in the state.
The car ride to the meeting went swimmingly. When Sherri mentioned job insecurity and the need to "diversify," Elizabeth couldn't have agreed more. When Sherri mentioned the time-money trap, Elizabeth knew just what she was talking about. A First Look might have had a real impact. She was clearly expecting some sort of business seminar. (Sherri hadn't mentioned Amway and also cautioned me against doing so: "I've found that when I say 'Amway,' people get all … " she said, miming "running-away-screaming.") What Elizabeth got, however, was closer to a Pentecostal revival meeting. The featured speaker, Executive Diamond Brad Duncan (Greg's younger brother), was more Billy Sunday than financial analyst; he yelled, joked, screamed, and sermonized past the audience at "sinners" who pretended they didn't want to be rich and who dumped on anyone with ambition. He exhorted us to stop listening to our "broke" friends and relatives and allow ourselves to be influenced by successful millionaires: "I believe in the power of association!"
Though dressed in a blue skirt-suit, the uniform of a first ladyship that was not to be, Betsy DeVos was never a political accessory. Anyone who understood Michigan politics knew she had long been the more political animal of the pair. It was Betsy, not Dick, who had chaired the Michigan Republican Party; Betsy, who had served as a member of the Republican National Committee; Betsy, whose name was once floated to succeed Haley Barbour as head of the RNC; Betsy, who had directed a statewide ballot campaign to legalize public funding of religious schools; Betsy, who, as a college freshman, traveled to Ohio and Indiana to volunteer for Gerald Ford's presidential campaign. She was a skilled and seasoned operator, but as her husband conceded in an overwhelming defeat, she was utterly helpless.
But there is one thing that we need to understand here. Like in an MLM scheme which is a Ponzi scheme, the business that an Amway distributor does, depends on finding new distributors and then hoping that these new distributors sell Amway products and at the same time are able to appoint newer distributors. If a distributor is successful at this he makes more and more money. The trouble is that we go along it becomes more difficult to appoint new distributors. Lets try and understand this through an example. Lets say the first distributor that a genuine MLM company appoints, in turn appoints five distributors.
The third way a distributor makes money is through earning commissions on group sales. "A Distributor may recruit a sales group and based on the success and productivity (as defined by product sales) of the sales group, a Distributor may earn commissions. It is important to note that a Distributor only earns commissions on the volume of Amway products actually sold," the Business Starter Guide points out.
Yager made a name for himself as the father of the 'Yager System,' one of the first and most profitable motivational 'tools' businesses run by Amway distributors (also called 'tools scams' by detractors). Distributors produce motivational tapes and videos, or 'tools,' and sell them directly to their downlines for immediate profit. Tools promote Amway's free market philosophy but are not themselves Amway products – though the Yager Group is still today an Amway-approved training provider. The Charlotte Observer has said of Yager, 'He sells not only soap but an ideology and a way of life. Admirers speak of him with reverence, as if his next plateau of Amway achievement were sainthood itself.' The title of Yager's first book, Don't Let Anybody Steal Your Dream, was a Gerard household motto. We said it to one another with a near-religious zeal – like we were speaking in high-fives. I still feel nostalgic for my childhood when I hear it.

A substance isolated from cornus offlcinalis enhances the motility of human sperm
Hellen Jeng, Chao Mei Wu, Shuen Jiing Su, Wen Chang Chang
The effects of a Chinese herb, Cornus officinalis, on the motility of human sperm was studied. An aqueous extract was prepared from the dried fruits of the herb and used in this study. The crude extract at a final concentration of 0.5 (ig/|J.l in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) increased sperm motility from 25.8 ±7.7% to 42.8 ±10.3% (i.e. 68% increase, n = 7), as determined by the computer-aided-sperm-analysis (CASA) method. The crude extract was fractionated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) into four fractions: Cl, C2, C3 and C4. Their effects on sperm motility were further studied by CASA. Only the C4 fraction showed substantial stimulatory effects on sperm motility. At a concentration of 5 ng/u.1, C4 increased the sperm motility from 15.7 ±3.8% to 34.5 ±6.4% (i.e. 120% increase, n = 6) by CASA and from 14.9 + 4.3 to 28.5 ±8.1 (i.e. 91% increase, n = 8) by transmembrane migration ratio (TMMR) method. This result suggests that C4 is the active component in Comus officinalis that enhances sperm motility.

Questa pagina descrive le edizioni estive di Giochi senza frontiere, trasmissione televisiva dell'Unione europea di radiodiffusione andata in onda dal 1965 al 1982 e dal 1988 al 1999.

Nella maggior parte delle edizioni finora disputate, Giochi senza frontiere si svolgeva in maniera itinerante, con un numero di puntate variabile (a seconda delle nazioni partecipanti) e una finale, in cui si sfidavano le migliori squadre che tra tutte le puntate avevano realizzato il punteggio più alto per la loro nazione. Uniche eccezioni sono costituite dalle prime due edizioni (in cui due squadre alla volta si sfidavano e ospitavano i giochi, sul modello di Campanile Sera e Intervilles a cui il programma si ispirava, ed erano previste anche le semifinali) e dalle ultime quattro (in cui le gare si tennero in sede unica).

Per ogni edizione sono riportati l'elenco delle nazioni partecipanti (ciascuna contraddistinta con la sigla e il colore adottato per le squadre) e la tabella delle puntate; per ogni puntata sono indicati la data, la sede dove si è svolta e la classifica finale in ordine di piazzamento e con relativo punteggio (per le prime due edizioni, la squadra vincente e perdente).

Nota bene:
Le vincitrici finali di ogni edizione sono evidenziate in verde scuro. Con l'asterisco (*) sono segnalati vittorie e/o piazzamenti ex aequo.

Gary Baddeley On "What One Learns About Film Financing From Film Financing Conferences"
Sometimes it seems like there's more talk about movies getting made than there is actual activity. The question of how we all learn and remain aware of the actual practice of day will always loom large. Since knowledge and access (i.e. connections) will always be key commodities in the pursuit of getting it done, conferences that provide the two are always a lure. Fortunately we were given the opportunity to cover 11th Annual New York International Film & TV Summit, organized by BNA / ATLAS, and were able to dispatch one of our own forward thinkers to the proceedings. Gary reports back to us, in this first of two parts.
I did something odd last week: I went back in time and attended the kind of conference I hadn't been to in years. These days I'm best known for documentary films and books released by my Disinformation and True Mind companies, but when I first met Ted Hope (who kindly invited me to attend the conference in his stead), I used to go to exactly this kind of conference as a young pup entertainment lawyer looking to meet experienced TV and movie execs.
The conference was the 11th Annual New York International Film & TV Summit, organized by BNA / ATLAS, and indeed it was loaded with exactly the kind of indie film royalty a striving young producer might want to meet: New York luminaries such as Richard Lorber, Steve Beer, Josh Braun, Ira Deutchman and many others, as well as some west coast execs like eOne's John Morayniss, Nick Meyer, and Peter Kaufman. But at a thousand dollars a head to attend, there weren't too many filmmakers in the room (notable exception, one of Ted's students at NYU Film School whom Ted got a free pass for and whose short was accepted by Sundance this year). The majority of attendees were lawyers and accountants, which made me laugh when all of the Movie Magic software door prizes were given out to people who clearly weren't about to produce their own film (I know because mine was one of two hands raised when a panelist asked if anyone had produced a film).
The other "Back to the Future" moment for me was when I asked what the conference hashtag was so that I could tweet about the panels. Not only was I met with a completely blank stare, but it turned out that a hashtag would have done me no good anyway, as there was no wifi and AT&T doesn't have enough bandwidth in the Marriott Marquis Times Square to access email, let alone tweet. I don't think that was too much of an issue for anyone else, though: unlike, say, a panel at SXSW where everyone has a laptop/tablet/smartphone out and is littering the social mediasphere at will throughout every presentation, I didn't see anyone using anything more advanced than a ballpoint pen with which to record the proceedings.
From Pat's address we went right into a morning of detailed information on first domestic and then international tax incentive programs. Also present were more than a few state and city film office representatives, including West Virginia, Greater Philadelphia, and Puerto Rico, with a special mention for the extremely charming new Film Commissioner for the Dominican Republic, Ellis Perez.
There were two clear takeaways for anyone sitting through the panels: (1) you're an idiot if you don't access tax incentive funding for your movie or TV pilot, to the extent it's available (not so much for docs); and (2) don't even think about trying to work your own way through the ever-changing thicket of programs — hire specialists (if you don't know who, take a look at the speaker list for these panels — they're all very good at what they do and worth the fees they charge).
The afternoon's focus was geared towards the financing of films. First thing to note: the presenters were focused on movies that have budgets in the millions of dollars, have established sales agents, etc. Plenty of excellent information was on offer (e.g., Q: Which banks are active in film finance right now? A: Comerica, Chase, City National, Bank of America, Bank Leumi, Barclays, Union Bank), as well as some dry wit (Q: What is the typical role of equity in film finance? A: from Lucie Guernsey of Woodland Bay Capital: "To pull out at the last minute"). The finance panel really got into gear once Roy Salter of the Salter Group financial advisory firm let loose with the gem that if you just want to get something made, go to Europe where there are lots of state funds, ministries and others willing to fund art. If it's money your after, though, then he and the other panelists have lots of advice.
Salter was actually pretty bullish on films as an investment. He noted that while private equity finance largely went away in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown, there's plenty of new investors from Abu Dhabi, India and elsewhere in Asia who are cognizant that movies are not like any other asset category and unlike almost everything else, they have provided net positive returns over the last decade. I don't think he was talking about the microbudget kind of films that my company and surely those of many of the readers of HopeForFilm make though.
•	Established indie producers can be your beard (veteran LA attorney Peter Kaufman, explaining why it's often advantageous to bring on board the type of producer who can have a "halo effect" on your efforts to get the film made.
•	Be generous with talent perks like business class air travel — a few thousand dollars spent on air fares can yield tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of publicity value if your star shows up for the film festival premiere or similar junket (Wilder Knight, Esq. of Pryor Cashman).
•	Sales agents are more honest now (Jonathan Sachar of Indiefcc.net, who likened some sales agents in the not so distant past to the real estate agent who'll tell you he can sell your house for two million dollars just to get the listing, when every other broker says it's worth a million).
•	Saying your movie is on Netflix and iTunes is like saying your name's in the phone book (Ira Deutchman on why theatrical release is still worth pursuing for its subsequent marketing value, even though it may be a loss leader).

Big Piney, Wyoming
The meeting began with Joe Lord introducing himself as the new facilitator. Joe handed out new name tents, and explained how to use them. The new name tents contained the rules for conduct and the mission statement for the group. Next the Basin Advisory Group (BAG) members and audience members introduced themselves.
Expectations for the Meeting
Joe went through the agenda. Planning team issues were moved forward to item number two. Problems and Issues identification was changed to item number three. The remainder of the agenda was not changed.
Planning Team Issues
Biographical Surveys:
Jon Wade began the discussion with an update on the Biographical Surveys. The Surveys were requested by the BAG to help members identify other members' backgrounds and interests. Surveys were passed out to each member, which were to be filled out and returned to the staff. However, very few surveys were returned. The planning team decided to set this project aside unless specific requests were made in the future.
Programs for Local Presentations:
A request was made by the Bear BAG for a video to bring to local groups that might explain the purpose of the planning effort. Jon Wade and Barry Lawrence will make a video of a future River Basin Planning presentation. This presentation will cover general information on the planning effort, and will be made available to any group member who wishes to use it. Handouts focusing on statewide and specific River Basin Planning efforts will also be produced and made available.
The State Water Plan will be put on the water plan website when it is completed. The Water Resources Data Systems (WRDS) is providing this service as technical arm to the water planning process. In order for them to present the material clearly, WRDS needed information about the computers owned by members of the BAG. Their questions for the group and resulting replies follow:
How many people have Internet access? Most.
What is the average monitor size? Approximately 14 or 15 inches.
How old is your computer? Most are newer than two years old.
What is the speed of connection? Most have 14K or above, however, 5K was suggested as the slowest connection.
What is the resolution of the monitor? 640 x 480 average.
New Mailing Policy:
One to two weeks prior to the meeting, mailings will be sent out to all BAG members. Every mailing will contain agendas, meeting records, and new informational handouts. For members who did not attend the previous meeting, handouts from that meeting will also be included. Handouts passed out at each meeting will be listed on the meeting record itself.
Problems and Issues Identification
Many issues were addressed during this portion of the meeting. Those issues discussed are listed below:
One member felt that it is important for this plan to identify and supplement shortages with surpluses. He also wanted to maintain the right to supplement shortages, legally and financially, and to address competition between uses.
The importance of a reliable and cheap water supply for the Oil and Gas Industry was addressed. One member felt that the water would need to be in a guaranteed supply, and reflect boom and bust cycles.
Many members feel that it is important to relate water planning to the financial infrastructure. Diversions from and de-earmarking of water development funds were discussed.
One member felt that there is a need for a basin group to provide policy, direction, and water allocation information. This individual also had process questions.
One member felt that it is important to quantify what is being used, what is available for use, and whether we are guaranteed water will be there in the future.
One member felt that it is important to protect against federalization of Wyoming's water. This member also felt that it is important to protect the strength and integrity of the compact.
Following the break Joe Lord discussed the format for the rest of the meeting. Jon Wade spoke to the group concerning the goals of the BAG and what their responsibilities are.
Consultant Update
Pat Tyrrell of States West Water Resources Corp. presented the consultants timeline, and discussed the consultant's progress. States West has ordered 160 color infrared aerial photos for the portion of the basin that contain irrigated lands. Pat passed around an example of these photos for the group to look at.
Informational Presentations
Jeff Fassett spoke to the group about the law of the river and about the importance of the effort that the group is undertaking with issues identification.
John Shields discussed the impacts of salinity on the environment, agriculture, and municipal uses. To minimize the damage caused by the salinity to this nation's waters the Federal Government passed the Salinity Control Act. The idea was that it is easier to take pollutants out of the water than it is to fix the problems later. Salt comes from many sources, some are natural and some are man induced. The Salinity Control Program strives to reduce man made sources to lower the total amount of salt that goes into the river. There were three stations picked to monitor the salt levels, Hoover Dam, Parker Dam, and Imperial Dam. Participation in this program is voluntary. Methods of improvement include environmental quality incentive programs and on farm improvements. Go to the Salinity Control Presentation
De-earmarking Discussion
Following the Salinity Control presentation by John Shields, Rose Skinner, Mayor of Pinedale, spoke to the group concerning the proposed de-earmarking of the water development funds. She suggested that the group contact their legislators at legisweb@missc.state.wy.us and express their opposition to the de-earmarking. The group further recommended that Joe Lord, Facilitator, draft a letter echoing those sentiments and signed on behalf of the Green River BAG members in attendance.
October 12, 1999 in Lyman at the Lyman Town Hall Courtroom, 5 PM.

Cortex Business Solutions Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CBX) ("Cortex" or the "Company") has achieved significant milestones during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. As Cortex executes its business plan, the Company is starting to gain credibility and traction in the marketplace, particularly in the oil and gas industry. There was a conscious shift in the focus of Cortex from project management revenue to growth of the Cortex Trading Partner Network ("the Network") and recurring access and usage fee revenue. The increased trading partners on the Network increases recurring access and usage fee revenue for Cortex, as well as increases the value of the Network to other potential large procurement organizations.
- The Company achieved record recurring access and usage fee revenue of $1.19 million in fiscal year 2009 ($636,642 - 2008), a 76% increase over fiscal year 2008.
- Due to the growth of the Network, acceleration of recurring access and usage fee revenue started to appear in the last two quarters of the July 2009 fiscal year. As a result, recurring access and usage fee revenue increased to $349,908 for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 for an increase of $50,642 over the quarter ended April 30, 2009, a 17% increase. This can be attributed to the increase in suppliers transacting on the Network and an increased number of transactions.
- Integration and Desktop set up fees invoiced in the year increased $521,055, a 540% increase (2009 - $617,555, 2008 -$96,500). Of these fees invoiced, $146,807 was recognized as set up fee revenue in 2009 compared to $76,352 in 2008.
- On October 30, 2009 the Company signed a new long term service agreement with its largest customer. The agreement includes a one year professional services agreement and a new five year service agreement with an option to extend for an additional five years.
- Cortex signed over 2,000 suppliers to the Network and has increased the average number of suppliers transacting monthly.
The steady and continual growth of trading partners signing on to the Cortex Trading Partner Network is encouraging and aligns with the Company's business plan. The recurring access and usage fees from these new users had started to materialize by the end of the third and fourth quarters of 2009. Cost reductions have been implemented until such time as revenue growth is back on target or operational and development demands dictate. Month over month, we have seen record transactions through the Network and record recurring access and usage fees which our three months ended October 31, 2009 results will reflect. This increasing trend in recurring access and usage fee revenue is being translated into a reduction in our quarterly cash burn. This, together with the long term service agreement signed, will move Cortex closer to positive cash flow projected for the three months ended January 31, 2010.
The current economic downtown may encourage companies to focus on cost savings measures. The Company's solution assists companies in this goal by providing them with an automated eProcurement solution which could assist in reducing their internal costs and improving controls.
and trends over the last three fiscal years.
Cortex Business Solutions Inc. is an industry leading service company that improves efficiencies, reduces costs and streamlines procurement and supply chain processes for its customers. Accessing the Cortex Trading Partner Network enhances the exchange of business critical documents, such as purchase orders, receipts and invoices resulting in improved cash flow management and business controls, while reducing day's outstanding and administrative costs. Cortex is a low cost, low risk solution that can be implemented quickly by leveraging its customers existing business environment - evolving business.

Young graduate engineering a career in STEM
Claudia is a Graduate Civil Engineer, currently working in Story Contracting's Rail Division.
Joining the company in 2018, Claudia is one of two female graduates in the latest cohort of graduates.
"I love my job as a Civil Engineer and the broad variety of things I get to do in my role. No day is ever the same working at Story; one day I could be working on flood defences and the next it could be a bridge!
"I first became interested in Civil Engineering when I was at college. I enjoyed maths and problem solving at school, and my Dad was a great role model as a mechanical engineer, so a career in engineering really appealed to me and once I took a course in it at College, I knew it was what I wanted to do."
Before joining Story, Claudia studied Civil Engineering at Teesside University.
"There were 50 people on my course and I was one of only four women. I think there is still a lot of work to be done around gender equality and encouraging more females into Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) related careers and studies."
At Story all Graduates become STEM ambassadors and attend higher and further education career events and school STEM learning days as part of the company's initiative to encourage more children and teenagers to consider careers in construction and engineering.
"I'm really proud of the work we do at Story to inspire both girls and boys, to pursue STEM subjects. To be the role models who will help inspire the next generation of engineers is very special."
Claudia added: "My advice to other women would be, if you ever doubt you can't do something or even if you think you're going to be the only female doing it – just go for it, take every opportunity that comes your way regardless of your gender."

PR Disaster of the Fortuna: a Sparkle of doubt as to whereabouts in Düsseldorf
John Torrendo
The thoughtful expression of Friedhelm Funkel told more than a thousand words. Even the strong performances of his team in the Telekom Cup against FC Bayern (7:8 i. e.) and against Hertha (3:1) on Sunday were not able to cheer up the coach of Fortuna Düsseldorf. "You can't swallow so Readily. You have to let a lot of things to start pouring," said the 65-year-old football teacher the Posse to his future at the Table fourteenth.
Bundesliga round DISPLAY
not had a week at the start of the displeasure of Sparkle. "Now I go on Tuesday in this conversation, but how this will end, I can't guess," he said of the "Rheinische Post" (Tuesday edition) with a view to the planned conversation with the club management over a possible extension of his in the coming summer, expiring contract. He was "so optimistic", as the chief Executive officer of Robert shepherd "is, perhaps. I can't be." Funkel said: "In the course of the discussions, you will see how far we have come closer to us so that I can use for a further year in the first League to sign. I don't know if I'm really doing."
shepherd is likely to emerge as the loser from the PR Disaster. The surprise announcement of the Association last Friday at their training camp in Marbella, to the end of the season expiring in cooperation with Sparkle not to renew, resulted in protests by many Fans, and a Shitstorm on the Internet. On the question of whether he was thinking about a withdrawal, said the Chairman of the Board with a clear "no": "I must take responsibility for it. I can but only if I act, if I do that, if I deal with the legitimate Anger of the Fans."
Remorseful Schaefer announced a quick deal with a Twinkle: "We now want to arrange the contract as soon as possible." Whether the well-planned A-year contract remains only in the case of a class a finding of Fortuna, valid, open both side. "You will hear in the discussions of what is feasible. And I don't want to tire these talks advance," said Funkel.
The announcement that the Trainer contract does not extend, had not only the Fans but also the team for the surprise. After all, it had been in the last three Hinrunden-Play with three wins in the series, the newcomer had drawn up a Four-point lead on the relegation place 16. Not least for this reason, both goalkeeper Michael Rensing as well as captain Oliver Fink, the Coach of languages in connection to the Telekom Cup for the whereabouts of the Trainer. Schaefer hopes that the recent good mood in the Team has taken no harm: "I think that something is left hanging. We, the team and the coach will strengthen the back."

Just about a year ago, Pixar announced that their planned 2014 movie 'The Good Dinosaur' would be moved to November 25, 2015 following the departure of director Bob Peterson. This is not necessarily unusual at Pixar with both 'Ratatouille' and 'Brave' undergoing last-minute director changes, but none perhaps will wind up being as drastic as 'Good Dinosaur.' Lead voice actor John Lithgow was recently asked to provide an update and said that after Peterson's departure the entire film was "dismantled" and "completely reimagined."
Pixar would not have delayed 'The Good Dinosaur' over a year and fired its director if they didn't think the film had some serious issues. At the time, Pixar president Ed Catmull told the LA Times, "Nobody ever remembers the fact that you slipped a film, but they will remember a bad film. Our conclusion was that we were going to give the film some more time." Pixar clearly felt the original version of 'The Good Dinosaur' was a "bad film" and instead of just fixing up what they had, they decided to start from scratch.
For what it's worth, Lithgow sounds very excited about the new direction of the film, and it's hard not to trust Pixar when it comes to these creative decisions ('Brave' notwithstanding). Yet, it's still surprising to think that the entire movie is being redone in just about two years time (the normal creative process at Pixar takes about 4 years, sometimes longer). What's even more interesting is that Pixar has yet to formally announce a replacement director for the project. Instead, Pete Sohn, the original co-director, is working on the film along with the rest of the "Pixar Brain Trust" which includes John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Lee Unkrich, Gary Rydstrom and others (former director Bob Peterson was, ironically, one of the members of the brain trust before he was relieved of his duties).
The original film was set to follow a young dinosaur in a family of brontosaurus who befriends a young human. Lithgow confirmed that he and Frances McDormand are still set to play the mother and father dinosaurs, but no indication on whether the rest of the cast - including Bill Hader, Neil Patrick Harris and Judy Greer - are still involved with the production.
'The Good Dinosaur' is still set for its November 2015 release, just a few months after Pete Docter's 'Inside Out' hits theaters; the first time two Pixar films will be released in the same year.

American painter, sculptor and printmaker. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago (1949–53), the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine (summer 1953) and Edinburgh University and Edinburgh College of Art (1953–4), before settling in New York in 1954. There in the late 1950s he began assembling wood sculptures from found materials, often stencilling painted words on to them, as in Moon (h. 1.98 m, 1960; New York, MOMA). He called these works Herms after the quadrangular, stone stelae guardian figures that served as signposts in crossroads in ancient Greece and Rome. Indiana called himself a 'sign painter' to suggest the humble origins of his artistic activity in the American work ethic and to indicate his fascination with the use of words in signs. Joining his interest in Americana with the formal and signifying elements of signs, he visualized the superficial and illusory American Dream in paintings characterized by flat bright colours and clearly defined contours influenced by the hard-edge paintings by friends such as Ellsworth Kelly and Jack Youngerman (b 1926).

Sophos: AvosLocker ransomware uses AnyDesk in Safe Mode to launch attacks
By Team Technobaboy January 5, 2022
Cybersecurity firm Sophos recently identified a new ransomware called AvosLocker. The company explains how attackers attempt to bypass security controls by using a combination of Windows Safe Mode and the AnyDesk remote administration tool.
AvosLocker is a relatively new ransomware-as-a service that first appeared in late June 2021 and is growing in popularity, according to Sophos. The Sophos Rapid Response team has so far seen AvosLocker attacks in the Americas, Middle East and Asia-Pacific, targeting Windows and Linux systems.
"Sophos discovered that the AvosLocker attackers installed AnyDesk so it works in Safe Mode, tried to disable the components of security solutions that run in Safe Mode, and then ran the ransomware in Safe Mode. This creates a scenario where the attackers have full remote control over every machine they've set up with AnyDesk, while the target organization is likely locked out of remote access to those computers. Sophos has never seen some of these components used with ransomware, and certainly not together," said Peter Mackenzie, director of incident response at Sophos. "The message for IT security teams facing such an attack is that even if the ransomware fails to run until they clean every trace of the attackers' AnyDesk deployment from every impacted machine, they will remain exposed as the attackers have access to their organization's network and can lock them out again at any time."
The Ransomware Deployment Process
Sophos researchers investigating the ransomware deployment found that the main sequence starts with attackers using PDQ Deploy to run and execute a batch script called "love.bat," "update.bat," or "lock.bat" on targeted machines. The script issues and implements a series of consecutive commands that prepare the machines for the release of the ransomware and then reboots into Safe Mode.
The command sequence takes approximately five seconds to execute and includes the following:
Disabling Windows update services and Windows Defender
Attempting to disable the components of commercial security software solutions that can run in Safe Mode
Installing the legitimate remote administration tool AnyDesk and setting it to run in Safe Mode while connected to the network, ensuring continued command and control by the attacker
Setting up a new account with auto login details and then connecting to the target's domain controller to remotely access and run the ransomware executable, called update.exe
"The techniques used by AvosLocker are simple but very clever. They ensure that the ransomware has the best chance of running in Safe Mode and allow the attackers to retain remote access to the machines throughout the attack," said Mackenzie. "Sophos has reported on Snatch and BlackMatter implementing the technique, however, neither of these ransomware groups attempted to install a subsequent application, such as AnyDesk, for command and control of the machines while in Safe Mode. We believe we're seeing this for the first time."
ALSO READ: Cybersecurity experts call for industry collaboration amid increase in cybercrimes
Sophos endpoint products, such as Intercept X, protect users by detecting the actions and behaviors of ransomware and other attacks, such as those described in this Sophos research.

In the Final Days of 2021, a $133 Million Bel Air Deal Goes Down

Looks like the list of biggest 2021 real estate deals needs updating. On December 22nd, a big Bel Air property quietly transferred for a whopping $133 million, tax records now reveal. The place was never officially on the market, though it had been privately shopped around to qualified parties. At this point, the buyer remains unidentified, though there aren't very many people in the world who can afford to pay $133 million — in cash, no less — for a house, so we'll see how long that lasts.
Actually, this place isn't just a "house," it's a bonafide estate compound that spans four contiguous parcels of land totaling roughly 4.6 acres. There are two large homes on the property, which sits behind tall gates and taller hedges for maximum privacy. The larger main house, spanning roughly 19,000 square feet, is a rare structure designed by internationally acclaimed English architect John Pawson — in fact, it's the only Pawson-designed house in Los Angeles. The smaller guesthouse was built in the 1930s by Paul R. Williams and has its own swimming pool, poolhouse, and 6,600 square feet of space.
The seller was Japanese businessman Hideki Tomita, CEO of job-search agency Dip Corp. While his $133 million score isn't as blockbuster as that recent $177 million Malibu deal, it's still the fourth-highest price ever paid for a California home. The price is also an eye-popping $48 million more than Tomita paid for the place less than four years ago, in March 2018. Back then, the 55-year-old entrepreneur forked over $85 million to buy the entire caboodle from its original owners — booze heiress Ellen Bronfman Hauptman, a daughter of billionaire Seagram scion Charles Bronfman, and her investor husband Andrew Hauptman.
The Hauptmans acquired the land in 2002 and built the main house in 2009. In 2017, the Pawson-designed structure was photographed for Architectural Digest. The pair originally wanted $125 million for the custom estate, but Tomita talked them into a big discount — a move that appears to have paid off handsomely for him.

20 Stephen King Quotes that Will Scare Your Fear Away
Stephen King has a lot to be proud of. He is the author of Carrie, The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption,
By Flavia Medrut March 23, 2022
Stephen King has a lot to be proud of. He is the author of Carrie, The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, and IT – and those are just a few of his great horror and fantasy books that were adapted for film and TV.
Stephen King has always wanted to be a writer. Ever since he was a child, he started sketching stories, and, by the time he was in high-school, he was writing for a weekly newspaper.
However, when King finally wrote the first three pages of Carrie, he was rather disgusted with the result and threw them away. Luckily, his wife found them and encouraged him to continue the story. The book became a horror classic and launched the career of one of the most prolific authors.
Here are 20 Stephen King quotes to help you step out of the darkness and chase your wildest dreams.
The scariest moment is always just before you start.
Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
Get busy living or get busy dying.
You can, you should, and if you're brave enough to start, you will.
I think that we're all mentally ill. Those of us outside the asylums only hide it a little better — and maybe not all that much better after all.
Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
We lie best when we lie to ourselves.
Alone, yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym.
We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.
It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.
There's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst.
Just remember that Dumbo didn't need the feather; the magic was in him.
You can't deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants.
People who try hard to do the right thing always seem mad.
We never know which lives we influence, or when, or why.
Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
Don't let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets this far alone.
The only mortal sin is giving up.

Thanks to its beacon and app, The New Sentinel allows us to geolocate a person's position in real time. Very frequently used in the active world, this service is sometimes badly perceived due to its intrusive side. The task encountered by iol was to lend a reassuring image to this constrictive element. To ensure that the user takes control of the object in order not to feel monitored. A significant challenge brilliantly taken on by the team. From the design to the brand image via an innovative and effective attachment system, iol's know-how came through once again.


Entertainer-actor Hong Seok-cheon stepped into the cup ramen business on Friday with two products he reportedly co-designed, further broadening his thriving culinary portfolio that dates back to 2002.
GS Retail, the operator behind GS25, the country's second-largest convenience store, announced on Thursday it would add two cup ramen products named Hong Ramen to its brand line.
Co-created by Hong, the product comes in two flavors - spicy cheese and spicy seafood - and is sold at 1,400 won ($1.33).
Hong, 43, uploaded a photo of Hong Ramen onto his Twitter account on Thursday and wrote that it will be sold exclusively at GS25.
The former male model gained media attention in 2000 when he revealed he was gay in what was considered a highly conservative society. Although it could be argued that matters haven't changed much since then, the actor overcame initial public disapproval, especially among the younger generation, in part because of his sincere efforts to fight for gay rights.
From Vietnamese cuisine to Greek and Thai, Hong has established a solid foothold in the Itaewon area as a restaurateur. His most well-known restaurants include My Thai and My Chelsea.
