A gift leads to revolutionary cancer care
Marsha and Jimmy Gibbs feel blessed.
They have built a successful international business while giving back to help those in need. The fruits of their generosity can be seen throughout the Upstate – and nowhere more than in the area of healthcare.
When leaders came together in the mid-1990s to fund the Rose and Walter Montgomery Patient Tower at Spartanburg Regional, the Gibbs were there. It was Spartanburg Regional Foundation's first major campaign.
And, of course, there's Gibbs Cancer Center, which opened in 1999. The couple's gift led to the project was inspired by the vision of Julian Josey, MD, and Jay Bearden, MD, who proposed the concept of a comprehensive cancer center.
“Jay and Julian had a dream of being able to provide complete cancer care here, under one roof. Jimmy and I decided that we wanted to be part of that dream,” Marsha said.
When healthcare system leaders looked to expand the cancer center by building a new facility on the Pelham Medical Center campus, the Gibbs again stepped up to make a lead contribution.
Jimmy expressed excitement that the expansion will make way for state-of-the-art technology and opportunities for more patients to take part in clinical trials.
“We'll be able to do things here that people might assume are only available in larger, nationally known cancer centers," Jimmy said.
Beyond financial gifts, the Gibbses have supported the healthcare system with their time, energy, and expertise. Marsha is a member of the Foundation's Board of Trustees and serves on the grants and allocations committee. Jimmy is a lifetime member of the Foundation's Cancer Division Board, and has served for more than 12 years on the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Board of Trustees.
“Jimmy's extensive business expertise has been critical as our healthcare system has navigated challenges and opportunities,” said Bruce Holstien, SRHS President and CEO. “We are fortunate to have his leadership on our board.”
Both Marsha and Jimmy are proud of their work with the healthcare system, the Foundation, and the cancer program.
“Cancer is a scary word,” said Jimmy. “I believe one day we will be able to prevent cancer – and Gibbs Cancer Center will be part of that.” | <urn:uuid:680c2a3f-ce3b-463b-8ed0-253856713e34> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.discoverhealth.org/gift-leads-revolutionary-cancer-care | 2023-09-28T18:43:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.9636 | 482 |

You’ve carefully delved into the past year and found the positive moments. You celebrated your wins, embraced your favorite projects, and looked at what activities made you a nice profit. But now it’s time to step back and discover what did not work.
During this phase of your New Year evaluation, it’s important to remember that you aren’t judging yourself. What you’re judging are your projects. Just because a project failed that doesn’t make you a failure.
What projects flopped in the past year?
Did you try something new this year that didn’t work out? Maybe you tried Kindle publishing only to sell ten copies of your e-book. Maybe you launched a project that your community wasn’t enthusiastic about.
If a project failed, you need to identify it and consider why it failed. Maybe you didn’t market your new Kindle e-book enough. Maybe you didn’t listen to your community’s needs, and that’s why your project flopped. Acknowledging your failure is the first step to learning from it.
What did you invest time and money into that gave you the least return in profit?
Every project requires energy and attention from you. Are you nurturing projects that are sick and dying? These projects will often give you every little in return for all your effort. Maybe you have a blog you’re still trying to get traffic to after months or even years. Maybe you’re still updating your course on web design even though no one’s buying it.
Examine the projects that are siphoning time and money from your business. Is there another healthier branch of your business that you could invest your time and money into?
What tasks or projects did you find yourself dreading?
Most business owners have at least one or two tasks on their plate that they don’t enjoy. Perhaps you hate designing graphics for your blog or you dread coming up with fresh content for your podcast every week. Make a list of tasks you don’t enjoy. Look them over and ask yourself if you can drop or outsource some of these projects.
Are there people in your space that you feel unenthusiastic about?
Not every business partner or client will be a good fit for your business. Maybe you originally took on a client because you needed to pay the bills, but now you make enough that you don’t have to worry about that. Perhaps you’ve been business partners with another entrepreneur who’s now going in a different direction than you are.
No matter the relationship, it’s important that you take time to consider why you no longer enjoy working with this person and what you can do about it. It might be time to let that demanding client go so you can embrace one you’re enthusiastic about serving. It might be time to say goodbye to your business partner and find a new one to work with.
Keep in mind that you are more than your ideas. You are a human being on a quest for your dreams. If you approach this part of the evaluation with this in mind, then you’ll be able to learn as much from your failures as you have from your successes. | <urn:uuid:d3189bd0-8bd2-4c99-9ae4-14f8961a6d39> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.divaswithapurpose.com/what-did-not-work/ | 2023-09-28T18:55:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.959275 | 676 |
Tremendous Tuesday tidings!
Legal woes abound, as crypto exchange giant Binance seeks a dismissal in a lawsuit slammed against it by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission. A judge in the FTX case considers a gag order for participants, after a key executive’s diary was leaked to the public. Also, Bitcoin is down, Linea users are upset over stuck funds, and decentralised exchange Uniswap had its name used in an elaborate hoax.
Let’s dive in.
Binance seeks dismissal in CTFC case
Crypto exchange Binance filed its intentions on Monday for a US court to drop the CFTC lawsuit against it.
The regulator sued the exchange in March, accusing it of operating a derivatives trading operation in the US.
Binance also faces lawsuits from the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
FTX judge weighs gag order
The US Department of Justice pushed for the federal judge in charge of the FTX case to place a gag order on witnesses and involved persons in the case, according to a Monday court filing.
The DoJ alleges that former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried shared the diary of Caroline Ellison — previous CEO of sister firm Alameda and Bankman’s former lover — as a way to influence public opinion ahead of his forthcoming trial.
Bitcoin drops below $29,000
Bitcoin’s price briefly plummeted to below $29,000 on Monday as investors brace for US and European central banks potentially announcing new rate hikes this week, The Block reported.
The news comes after the world’s biggest cryptocurrency has consistently traded above $30,000 over the last month, spurred on by a number of big financial firms like Fidelity and BlackRock muscling into the industry, as well as Ripple’s recent lawsuit win against the SEC.
Linea users rage over stuck funds
Linea has faced criticism over issues that prevented users from using the bridge to withdraw Ether and for being slow to communicate what the issues are.
Some users said they’d had their funds locked up for almost a week.
Uniswap Asia scam disappears after hack claims
A bold scam that saw grifters pretend to set up the Asian arm of Uniswap threw lavish galas to sell the hoax before claiming that they were hacked before disappearing.
Uniswap’s real CEO Hayden Adams said he’d had nothing to do with the grifters.

Think Jason Voorhees meets Tom of Finland. Then throw in the colours of Dario Argento. And you’re not even halfway there. Knife + Heart is one of the most absurd and uncategorisable films of the year. And wilfully so. It’s one of these movies that will leave your eyes wide open and your head spinning long after you have left the film cinema.
Anna Pareze (played by a blonde Vanessa Paradis, looking a lot like Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill movies) is a third-rate softcore pornographer working in Paris at the year of 1979. She creates wonderfully wacky blue movies for gay men. Her films feature no frontal nudity and penetration. She’s also, in a very strange way, a motherly figure to her young and beautiful actors. Her formidable personality ensures that they remain loyal and devout to the trade. Until one day a serial killers begins to murder her “children” in the most gruesome ways.
The first killing subverts the notion of penetration. The masked murderer inserts a knife in the anus of his victim shortly after tying him up to bed. This is the ultimate bondage-gone-wrong session. Or maybe bondage-gone-too-real. After all, who hasn’t fantasised about being penetrated by a blade instead of a penis? This is just the first of the many sexually twisted treats in the movie.
Knife + Heart repeatedly plays with meta-language. There are many films within the film. Anna confronts the killer by making a porn movie entitled Homo-Cidal about the murder spree. The final sequence of the Knife + Heart takes place inside a film theatre, while yet another film is being played. Anna is natural born provocateuse. She wants to be more famous and notorious than the masked man, without shedding any blood. And she wants to prove that she’s in charge of her team, and she will now allow the mysterious man to take her boys and her art away from her.
Parallel to all of this, Anna has a tragic lesbian affair with her editor Lois McKenna (Kate Moran). Bar this dysfunctional romance, Knife + Heart is an all-male all-gay affair. At the end of the film, the male and female relations are drawn together is a rather visceral way, which alludes to the film title.
The plot of Knife+Heart is unabashedly preposterous, particularly its incendiary yet inscrutable ending. Don’t try to make much sense of it. There are a lot of loose ends. This does not, however, diminish the artistic merit of the film, which relies mostly in its visual excellence and soundtrack. Vibrant colours populate the screens throughout, blended with black and white and also film negative images. The kitsch look is a tribute to giallo, sexploitation movies and also LGBT culture. The soundtrack – which is available for purchase, the first single Karl having already been launched – is creepy and tacky. Think Serge Gainsbourg’s Je t’Aime Moi Non Plus meets Bernard Hermann. Synthetisers are exquisitely mixed with a harp and the violin. The music is signed by Anthony Gonzalez, frontman of the band M83. He also happens to be the brother of the filmmaker.
Knife + Heart premiered in Cannes in 2018. It showed at BFI Flare in March 2019. Out in cinemas on Friday, July 5th. | <urn:uuid:7a49a61c-8b0b-4511-830f-cd8b7bc65d55> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.dmovies.org/2019/03/29/knife-heart-un-couteau-dans-le-couer/ | 2023-09-28T16:39:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.945822 | 720 |
Millions of lives at stake if cross-border aid channels close in Syria
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) calls on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to renew the cross-border resolution (UNSCR 2533) expiring on July 10, 2021 for the provision of humanitarian aid into northwest Syria. More than 4 million people residing in this area, more than half of whom are Internally Displaced People (IDPs), risk losing access to desperately needed humanitarian and medical aid if the resolution is not renewed.
From July 2014 through to early 2020, the cross-border resolution authorized four border crossings for the provision of humanitarian aid into Syria. It was reviewed and renewed annually by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), to maintain the flow of humanitarian aid into areas that are not under the control of the Syrian government. In 2019 and 2020, Russia and China vetoed the renewal of the full cross-border resolution encompassing previously agreed upon border crossings, removing Bab al-Salam, Al-Yarubiyah and Al-Ramtha from the list of approved humanitarian border crossing points. As a result, only one border crossing, Bab al-Hawa, remains in the current cross-border resolution (UNSCR 2533) as a formal humanitarian crossing point into Syria. On 10 July 2021, the resolution will be submitted to a vote and this last access route into Syria is at risk of being closed.
Failure to renew the cross-border authorization would further aggravate the already desperate humanitarian situation in northwest Syria. Humanitarian and medical aid would be drastically reduced and would take longer to reach people. As one of the few remaining medical actors in the area, MSF would face increased challenges in reaching the most vulnerable populations in northwest Syria. Most hospitals and health facilities would lack the necessary medical supplies to operate, and patients’ lives would be put at risk. Furthermore, the COVID-19 response and vaccination campaign in the area also risks being jeopardized by the closure of the last remaining border-crossing point, including the flow of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) materials, oxygen tanks, respirators, essential medications and COVID-19 vaccines.
“After a decade of war, the renewal of the Security Council resolution is now more critical than ever. The lives of millions of people, the majority of whom are women and children, depend on it. While MSF is not a mandated implementing partner of the UN, and does not rely solely on the UNSC resolution permitting cross-border importation of aid into Syria, our teams will surely feel the burden of any closure immediately and will not be able to fill the void if UN agencies and other organizations sharply reduce their aid in northwest Syria” explains Dr Faisal Omar, MSF Head of Mission for Syria.
Ongoing economic sanctions on Syria, in addition to a worsening economic crisis and currency devaluation in 2021, have already considerably worsened living conditions for the population in all areas. According to UN agencies, food basket prices are up by more than 220% while 80% of the population remains under the poverty line and 90% of children are now reliant on humanitarian aid.
“The Bab al-Hawa crossing is currently the only lifeline for Idlib governorate, in northwest Syria. If this lifeline is cut off, we would face many forms of death. If the medical supply stops, we might lose our ability to treat patients, as our current stock can only last three months. And if the supply of food and potable water stops, diseases and epidemics would affect the Internal Displaced People (IDPs) and local population. Some people in this area have been displaced more than 14 times, and they are entirely reliant on humanitarian assistance”, says Abdulrahman M., MSF Field Coordinator for Syria.
Over the past year, particularly during our response to the COVID-19 pandemic in northeast Syria, MSF has witnessed first-hand how the decision of the UN Security Council not to renew the UN cross-border aid mechanism via the Al-Yarubiyah border crossing already created significant human suffering, preventing vital lifesaving assistance from reaching northeast Syria via Iraq. This scenario must not be repeated in the northwest this year.
MSF calls on permanent and non-permanent members of the UN Security Council to renew the UNSCR cross-border resolution, as well as to reinstate the cross-border points of Bab al-Salam crossing to the northwest and Al-Yarubiyah crossing to the northeast. Cross-borders remain the only viable humanitarian channels to cover growing needs in northern Syria. | <urn:uuid:1aca931b-ee74-48d3-b4a3-50b8eff57095> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/millions-of-lives-at-stake-if-cross-border-aid-channels-close-in-syria/ | 2023-09-28T16:36:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.945186 | 953 |

Police in Elkhart, Indiana were called with reports a dog running loose in the street last Wednesday. When they arrived, officers spotted Gotti, a 10-month old Pit Bull, loose in the Cabrera family’s front yard.
The officer spoke with Raul Cabrera, explaining to him that the dog, who was normally leashed when outside, but had slipped from his collar, could not be running loose outside. Cabrera, who was in the process of building a fence for his dog, led Gotti back inside, but the dog turned and sprinted back into the yard before he closed the door.
Gotti didn’t make it far. The officer, who said in his report that the dog charged him viciously, fired multiple gunshots at the dog.
Neighbors and witnesses say the officer fired at least 10 times, possibly 13. The officer was seen at one point reloading his gun before continuing to shoot.
The Elkhart Truth reported:
The first round of fire was two to four shots, according to the Cabreras and neighbors who were watching from their yards. Neighbor Angie Castillo yelled at the officer to stop.
The pit bull stumbled in a leaf pile in the middle of the yard and the officer fired three to four more shots at the yelping dog, then walked up to him and shot four to six more times, the family and neighbors said.
Neighbors, still in shock and scared for their own safety, said Gotti wasn’t even running toward the officer, but was playfully running toward the driveway, on the opposite side of the yard.
Police are investigating the incident. | <urn:uuid:1fd66560-6702-4037-b200-ee92f0d82f08> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.dogingtonpost.com/police-officer-shoots-pit-bull-puppy-reloads-and-continues-shooting/ | 2023-09-28T17:02:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.988222 | 367 |

Helen Louise McCullough Fast, 97, of Canton, Georgia, formerly of Findlay and Payne, Ohio passed away at home Tuesday, August 1, 2023.
Helen was born in Bowling Green, Ohio on October 2, 1925, a daughter of the late Esther (Krise) and Charles Parsons.
She worked in quality control at Dana Weatherhead in Antwerp and retired after 40 plus years. Helen loved competition from a good round of golf, bowling a few frames to a fun festive euchre game with family and friends.

On Monday, 21st September, 2015, when the mother of Akwa Ibom; Her Excellency, Dr. (Mrs.) Martha Udom Emmanuel, launched her pet project, the Family Empowerment and Youth Re-orientation Path Initiative (FEYReP), no one had a clue it would be transmuted into a social interventionist vehicle.
Five years after, FEYReP has left indelible imprint on the sands of time. Through this NGO, ‘Eka Uñwana Akwa Ibom’ has built houses for widows, She has been there to provide succour for the needy, the handicapped, widows, children with special needs, victims of child labour and rape. Mummy has given Millions of Naira and start-up equipments to the poor of all descriptions to enable them earn a decent living. The list in endless!
Therefore, on this important day, I celebrate a mother whose passion is the continuous improvement of the welfare of the less privileged, widows and orphans. I celebrate a caregiver, a social crusader and a superb back-up to the Christ-centric leader of our State; His Excellency, Mr. UDOM Emmanuel
Your Excellency, our mother, may the sun that shines on this day grant you blessings from God and inspire in your heart more ideas and innovations that will change the world forever.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
Long Live our dear Governor!

Nokia Online Service Tool or Nokia OST Tool is a Windows PC software. Nokia Online Update Tool is a firmware flashing tool for Nokia Android devices that can flash stock firmware with .nb0 and .mlf extensions. You can download Nokia OST tool LA 6.0.4 and Nokia OST LA 6.1.2 with OST tool patch or crack file from below. You can install Nokia firmware to restore your phone to stock yourself.
Originally, the Nokia OST was developed by HMD Global. It’s meant to be used in the OEMs official service centers only. However, you can install the Online Service Tool (OST) and patch it using Nokia OST tool patch (crack) file. You can download Nokia OST tool LA 6.0.4 and Nokia OST LA 6.1.2 from below.
Nokia Online Service Tool is similar to Samsung’s Odin Tool and the LG Flash Tool. It’s available unofficially. If you use a Nokia device and have been getting any issues on it, you can fix it by installing the stock Nokia firmware and restoring it to stock. You can flash Marshmallow and Nougat firmware (.nb0) on your Nokia device using the Nokia OST LA 6.0.4. In case you want to install Android Oreo or Pie firmware, you should use the latest version of Nokia OST tool that is v6.1.2.
Since the Nokia Online Service Tool is used in official Nokia service centers only, only an authorized service center employee with a registered username and password can log in and use this utility. The good news is, there’s a patch available for the Nokia OST that makes it possible for an end user to use it and perform a firmware installation
In certain situations like boot loop, performance lag or slow performance, a frequent device overheating, the Online Service Tool (OST) can help you in bringing you Nokia phone to a normal state. Once you learn how to use the Nokia OST, you would no longer need to visit the service center to fix such technical issues.
Sometimes, the OEMs release software updates for a specific region. The users of Nokia phones in other parts of the world might have to wait for weeks and months to get that update. Thanks to the Nokia Online Service Tool, you can just download the latest software update file from a forum or third-party source and flash it manually! You can not only upgrade the software but can also downgrade the software version on your Nokia phone easily. Being able to restore your device to the stock firmware gives users the confidence to experiment.

Download Nokia Firmware
Since the Nokia OST can download the firmware for your device, you’ll need to download the Nokia firmware for your phone model from 3rd-party sources like some forum or online firmware repository. We have listed a few websites below that provide Nokia stock firmware.
How to Install Nokia Online Service Tool (OST)
The Nokia Online Update Tool is just like any PC software that can be installed easily by executing the installer file with .exe extension. However, since we are going to patch the official Nokia OST tool, we’ve provided a short piece of installation instructions below. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to can use the online update tool without any issue unless you patch it.
- Download the Nokia Online Update Tool 6.1.2 .zip and Nokia OST LA 6.1.2.zip (patch file) from above. Even if you download the Online Update Tool 6.0.4 version, the instructions are the same for both.
- Extract the downloaded Zip files on your desktop using a Zip extractor like 7Zip, WinZip or PowerArchiver.
- Open the extracted folder ‘Nokia_OST_LA_6.1.2′ and double-click the ‘launcher.exe’ file.
- On the OST installer window, click the Next button to initiate the installation. When the Nokia OST tool is installed, click the Close button.
- Now we need to patch the Nokia Online Service Tool. To do so, open the ‘Nokia_Online_Update_Tool_6.1.2′ folder that you extracted earlier and copy ‘OnlineUpdateTool.exe’.
- Then navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\OST LA directory and paste it there.
- Click ‘Replace the file in the destination’ option when prompted.
- You are just one step away from successfully patching the Nokia OST tool. In the OST LA folder, you’ll see a file named ‘OnlineUpdateTool.exe.config’. You need to delete it because this file tells the OST to prompt for a user name and password.
Having replaced the original ‘OnlineUpdateTool.exe’ with the patch file and deleting the ‘OnlineUpdateTool.exe.config’ file, you’re all set to use the Nokia OST Tool on your Windows PC.

While countless women enjoy breast implants without any complications, some suffer from breast implant illness (BII) at some point after breast augmentation. The symptoms can start shortly after surgery or many years later. BII is not a disease, as such, but a range of symptoms that some women experience after breast augmentation.
Breast implants and BIA-ALCL
Allergan, a major manufacturer of breast implants, recently performed a whole-scale recall of several of their breast-implant products. BIA-ALCL (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma) is a condition generated by the body’s negative response to textured shell implants. BIA-ALCL can typically be successfully treated by removing the textured implants and scar tissue that has developed around them. BIA-ALCL is not breast cancer, as such, but a treatable form of lymphoma, a disease of the immune system.
Of the 573 total worldwide cases of BIA-ALCL reported, 481 involved Allergan textured surface breast implants. If you have these implants and experienced any of the following symptoms, you need to see Dr. Repta immediately to get evaluated:
- Swelling in the neck, armpit, or groin
- FeverLoss of appetite
- Night sweats
- Weight loss
Dr. Repta can help you with BII and works closely with other medical practitioners to ensure that you get the treatment you need. The symptoms may or may not be related to breast implants. You deserve to know. | <urn:uuid:4dc9c606-cf59-4239-a97d-a746e08ed1e2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.drrepta.com/breast/breast-implant-illness/ | 2023-09-28T17:21:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.942872 | 326 |
After coming up with some design concepts and doing some sketches and mock-ups, I started work on the final design.
I wanted the design to look like an illustration, so I decided to use Adobe Illustrator. I often hand-draw elements, scan them, and import them into Illustrator. Once in Illustrator, I can convert the scans to vector illustrations and then clean them up as necessary.
This projet wasn’t any different. I started off with a sketch of the central element – the devil girl – and I inked in an outline using my trusty Pilot Razor Point pen. You can see I left some things out: hair, facial features, and other details would get attention in Illustrator.
After scanning, I converted the outline to vectors and cleaned it up. I corrected some issues (like the position and size of the back leg), and filled in the main areas with red. I created white vector shapes for highlights, and added a few shadows. The hair took some time, since I drew the jagged blue highlights by hand. I also spent some time getting the facial features just right.
Once I had the girl finished, I created some 2-point perspective lines and created the shape of the room and all of the elements of the desk. Originally the desk was green, but I wound up changing it to purple because I liked the way it worked in the final design.
There was a shit-ton of detail work after that: creating the background and background textures, making styrofoam head illustrations and then the wigs that sit on them, bottles for the desk and coolers for the back wall. The last thing that I added was the DD69 logo and the title of the album, and the cover was finished.
Once that was finished I added a hue layer, moved some of the titling around, and resized it for use on the CD surface itself. Since we were doing a 2-panel insert I only needed to do the design for the inside panel of the insert and then I’d finally be done.
Coming up: the inside panel. | <urn:uuid:1d8396aa-e2c1-4751-add7-032c57df327e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.drunkdude69.com/designing-wigs-part-3/ | 2023-09-28T18:11:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.965762 | 433 |

Having a good stretch in the morning feels is great. But there’s a lot more to stretching that we know. Yoga exercises implement stretching exercises that go beyond just the perks of flexibility or keeping a fit body. The ancient practice is able to trigger important shifts in brain function and thereby provide special psychological benefits. For instance, yoga seems to help people with anxiety control their emotions in a better way.
How Yoga Asanas Improve Mental Health?
The practice of yoga isn’t a new intervention in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. The practice has been studied closely and is known to improve not only a person’s physical but mental well-being as well. It has been successful in the treatment of disorders like anxiety, insomnia, and depression. It also is a beneficial complementary treatment for conditions like schizophrenia, ADHD and cognitive impairment in older people. It is also known to improve memory.
We hear the word ‘stress’ ever so often and soon forget about its implications. Stress isn’t just about being in a bad mood. Stress affects the body in so many negative ways that it can eventually lead to the development of an actual physical illness. Luckily the body has its own built-in mechanisms to counteract stress. This is commonly known as the relaxation response. Yoga is a great way to enhance the relaxation response.
Today, everyone knows about yoga and has heard of its benefits. Yoga helps improve blood flow and is able to keep hemoglobin levels at an increased level as well as the red blood cells. This essentially means that more oxygen reaches the body’s cells and improves their functions.
There are specific types of yoga asanas that help with mental illness although yoga in itself is beneficial to the body and mind. Here are some of the best exercises in yoga that can help a person improve their inner strength and get rid of frustrations.
Best Yoga Asanas To Improve Mental Health
- Downward Facing Dog

- Poses for the hips
- Bridge Pose
- Low Cobra
There are several poses in yoga that incorporate twisting. These exercises are meant to open up the shoulders, back, and chest. This helps increase blood flow to the digestive system and to the joints. The twisting types of poses are usually paired with slow breathing.
Bharadvaja’s Twist, Noose Pose, Revolved Side Angle Pose, Revolved Triangle Pose, Marichi’s Pose, Half Lord of the Fishes Pose etc.
Inverted poses are some of the most important parts of yoga exercise routines as they increase the flow of venous blood from the pelvis and legs to the heart and lungs in order to oxygenate it efficiently. Some of these poses include handstands, shoulder stands, headstands etc. In simple words you will hold your head beneath the heart.
Headstand Pose, Feathered Peacock Pose, Handstand pose, Plow Pose etc.
3. Downward Facing Dog

It helps open up the hips and releases tension in them.
5. Poses for the hips
A lot of tension, stress, anxiety, and trauma cause tight hips. When we are under a lot of stress our bodies tend to clench and tighten. This type of trauma causes compression or the tightening of the hips. When this tension builds up over time due to stress, it takes a toll on the hips, especially if you aren’t working out. The reason why working on improving your hips and releasing their tension is that this opens you up to unhealed pains and emotions. You may go through emotional days but as long as you acknowledge what is happening it could turn out to be a healing experience. Yoga exercises as such release emotional pain and makes way for love and compassion.
Runner’s Lunge, Downward Dog Split, Crescent Lunge, Lizard Pose, Shin to Shin, Lizard Lunge Twist, Pigeon Pose etc.

Shoulder stand also helps to increase blood circulation. It can strengthen spinal nerves and thereby release tension from the neck, head, and shoulders. It is known to improve emotions in people who suffer from anxiety.
7. Bridge Pose
This is a pose that is known for strengthening the legs and opening up the chest. It is a pose that stimulates all of the abdominal organs, the lungs, and thyroid. Bridge pose alleviates mild depression and stress. One of the variations for bridge pose can be performed by placing a block under your lower back. The tractions and the spine are with body weight.
8. Low Cobra
This pose is responsible for opening the chest and providing elasticity to the lungs. It also strengthens the stomach muscles and the back.

As technology penetrates further into everyday life, we’re creating lots of data. (We could quote all the Gartner and Forrester made-up numbers, but we’ll spare you.)
Businesses are scrambling to find data scientists – a hybrid of computer scientist, statistician, and domain expert – to make sense of all this data and turn it into better decisions.
Businesses aren’t alone. Data science – we use the current buzzword, but earlier ones such as analytics, machine learning, and data mining also apply – could transform how governments and nonprofits tackle society’s problems.
By analyzing data from police reports to website clicks to sensor signals, governments are starting to spot problems in real-time and design programs to maximize impact. More nonprofits are measuring whether or not they’re helping people, and experimenting to find interventions that work.
We’re just realizing the potential of using data for social impact and face several hurdles to it’s widespread adoption:
- Most governments and nonprofits simply don’t know what’s possible yet. They have data – but often not enough and maybe not the right kind.
There are too few data scientists out there – and too many spending their days optimizing ads instead of bettering lives.
To make an impact, we need to show social good organizations the power of data and analytics. We need to work on analytics projects that have high social impact. And we need to expose data scientists to the problems that really matter.
That’s exactly why we’re doing the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Data Science for Social Good summer fellowship at the University of Chicago.
We want to bring three dozen aspiring data scientists to Chicago, and have them work on data science projects with social impact.
Working closely with governments and nonprofits, fellows will take on real-world problems in education, health, energy, transportation, and more.
Over the next three months, they’ll apply their coding, machine learning, and quantitative skills, collaborate in a fast-paced atmosphere, and learn from mentors in industry, academia, and the Obama campaign.
The program is led by a strong interdisciplinary team from the Computation institute and the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago.
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt and Rayid Ghani hatched the idea in March, and we put out a call for applications immediately.
The response was overwelming: 550 aspiring data scientists applied from all over the world.
We read every application and interviewed nearly a hundred people. In the end, we picked 36 amazing fellows. (That’s 6.545% of the applicant pool, for you bean counters.)
They’ll be flying to Chicago from all across the country at the beginning of June and will spend the next three months with us.
The fellows are a mix of grad students and undergrads.
They strike a good balance of the computer science, machine learning, statistics, and domain expertise skills that make up data science.
This is deliberate: we don’t believe in the all-knowing, do-everything data scientist rock star. We’re going to focus on building data science teams this summer.
Our deepest thanks to everyone who applied, and everyone who’s helped the fellowship in ways big and small.
This is our first time running this program, and we’re still figuring things out. There have been a few kinks along the way. We’re busy fixing them – thanks for your patience!
- To follow our work and learn about our projects, keep watching this space.
We can’t wait to show you how data science can better the world – and why Chicago is the place the do it. | <urn:uuid:e4534c9a-4ecf-4bcb-9bc2-e4cb8d03080d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.dssgfellowship.org/2013/05/21/the-fellowship-and-the-fellows/ | 2023-09-28T18:34:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.930081 | 797 |
USA Basketball chief Jerry Colangelo warns that getting a good team together is going to get harder for a number of reasons, including personal career concerns and teams that don’t want guys to participate.
He knows more about it than any of us so maybe he’s right.
And the program he and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski pioneered was a brilliant innovation: get a pool of players together to get to know each other and then take a solid group.
It’s worked every time so far (we’ll know soon about Tokyo).
What Coach K brought to that was really critical though: he made those groups feel special, somewhat like special services.
Just as a for-instance or what-if, if he had coached this team, it would not have surprised us in the slightest if he had invited Marshall Plumlee in to speak to the team.
A former NBA player, Plumlee walked away to join the Army where he has become a Ranger.
We imagine he and Coach K would have talked about the hard work to achieve that dream, that being good is one thing but being part of an elite group is really special, and the lesson would have been obvious.
Gregg Popovich is not Coach K and he’s not going to take that approach. But making it special is a big deal.
Grant Hill will take over for Colangelo soon and he’s in a great position to innovate. He understands the NBA from both sides - as a player and a part owner - and he carries immense respect.
It’s possible that the solution now is to take a legitimate team, or at least the core of one.
Imagine if Baylor had continued to work out together and went, or the Atlanta Hawks or the Phoenix Suns.
If the problem is taking stars and forcing them to play together, then why not take 6-7 players form a good NBA or college team, fill in the gaps, and let those guys do it?
Or if the same approach is still there, as we’ve said before, we’d like to see Rick Pitino coach. He could put together a running, pressing team that would be incredible - and he wouldn’t necessarily need top talent to do it either. | <urn:uuid:419711cb-c6e0-41a5-b0f5-67e1746c3879> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.dukebasketballreport.com/2021/7/31/22603090/jerry-colangelo-team-usa-grant-hill-mike-krzyzewski-rick-pitino | 2023-09-28T18:50:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.977801 | 469 |
Greek migration authorities Wednesday reported the first case of COVID-19 at the Moria migrant camp on the island of Lesbos, where nearly 13,000 migrants live in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions.
The infection was discovered in a 40-year-old refugee from Somalia, migration officials said, adding that infection does not look to be severe.
The man's contacts are now being traced, and "extensive checks" are ongoing at the camp, Greece's Health Ministry said in a statement.
Migration officials said the camp would be sealed until at least September 15, with only security personnel being granted access after undergoing temperature checks, and that the police presence would be increased around the camp to ensure the lockdown is not breached.
Refugee camps on Greek islands are notoriously overcrowded, and the Moria has a capacity for fewer than 3,000 people, although nearly 13,000 migrants currently live there.
Since March, migrants arriving to Greek islands have been quarantined in separate buildings to prevent the spread of COVID-19 across entire camps.
Greece's Migration Ministry on Wednesday said a new isolation unit for Moria would be ready later in September.
Although access to migrant camps on Greek islands is currently restricted, many migrants on Lesbos stay outside the walls of the Moria camp, making restrictions harder to enforce.
The Somali refugee was among those sleeping outdoors, a camp source told the AFP news agency.
Greece's Migration Ministry said the infected man was granted refugee status and a residence permit to live in Greece and had left the camp on July 17.
Lesbos is located just off the Turkish coast, and hundreds of thousands of migrants have used the island as a jumping-off point in attempts to reach mainland Europe.

Executive Senior Crown Diamond - Australia
For twenty years, I operated a medium business enterprise that involved designing a clothing range, manufacturing, wholesaling and also retailing. Although it was lots of hard work, it proved very successful, but times changed after the influx of cheap clothing from China, so I sold that business. Early in 2003, my new jobs (I had two) meant travelling many hours to and from the workplaces each day.
Once I was sure that DXN´s Ganoderma was a reliable product and the demand for it would continue to grow, a decision was made to promote it in a professional manner. Learning the DXN business plan and also studying everything available about how and why Ganoderma works in the body, it was then possible to begin conducting public meetings about it.
Another decision was made to open a DXN Service Centre to ease members´ access to the products. Australia after all is a wide-spread country. This was an immediate success and its business grew so fast that it became the busiest in Australia, winning the DXN award for the 'Highest Sales for the Year' after only 5 months. From the start, I worked diligently on the business, taking every opportunity to promote Ganoderma and its health benefits and making sure something was achieved everyday, keeping busy training and helping other members to achieve success too.
As a result of a positive attitude, continual improvement in knowledge plus hard work, success came, by becoming free to travel, with good income and the pleasure of helping others to enjoy good health and a quality life.
In July 2006, Australia´s First 'Crown Diamond' status was achieved, being proudly recognised on stage by Dr Rathna and Professor Vasupaliah, the First Crown Diamonds of India. In October/November 2006, I double qualified to attend the First TSI trip to Europe along with many other international qualifiers. Many good friendships were made and it was a wonderful experience had by all.
I have since achieved Senior Crown Diamond status. Thank you Datuk Lim and DXN, for providing quality products and a Business platform, so focused and innovative people have the best opportunity to build their business and take it to any level they desire.
THANK YOU DXN. *
Reaching the level of Crown Diamond brings a great sense of achievement for me on a personal level. Yet that is the least part of it.
Along the way, I have learned so much - about the wondrous workings of the human body and mind; about natural healing;about the great opportunities for travel and income this company can bring you; about the incredibly different cultures on our planet and yet the great similarities between us all; about friendship and sharing; but most of all, about the human need to help friends improve their lives, and about the tragedies that surround us daily in needless disease and suffering that could so readily be overcome with a little education and open-mindedness from the Establishment.
So I see the achievement as a beginning, not an end. From here I will use my knowledge to go on, and do my part in bringing these fantastic products to as many people as I can.
I would love nothing more than to see many of you join me in achieving this level of Crown Diamond.
Good Morning DXN.
I am Dr. Md. Salimur Rahman and my wife is Mrs. Farida Parvin. Welcome to our success story.
I am a homeopathic physician and have been working as a lecturer in the Chronic Disease Department at the Government Homeopathy College. For my professional needs, I advised various nutritious foods for the quick recovery of patients. I visited the National Mushroom Development Center in Savar to learn about the benefits of mushrooms on the human body. It was from there that I got to know the unique benefits of Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms along with other mushrooms. I continued the study for more details about the mushroom and advised patients to consume Ganoderma lucidum mushroom as a food, after knowing its benefits.
In 2012, I was introduced to DXN by Professor Dr. Mahabubur Rahman. DXN deals in high-quality mushroom products worldwide. I started using some DXN products like Reishi Gano, Ganocelium, and Morinzhi. I was impressed with the effectiveness of these products. I started encouraging and advising my patients to use DXN products. In December 2012, I attended the seminar of Professor Dr. Mahabubur Rahman at Sena Kalyan Bhawan, from where I came to know about the function of DXN mushrooms and I understood how I can get financial freedom in my life through DXN.
I joined DXN on 11th January 2013, and I become Star Agent and Star Ruby in February and July respectively. I participated in the promotion organized in conjunction with DXN's 20th anniversary and I earned the status of Star Diamond. After achieving promotion for the first time in my life, I was lucky enough to go to Malaysia.
On the 20th anniversary, we first visited Langkawi, then we visited the DXN factory located in Kedah, where we got to visit the Ganoderma project and the Spirulina project in the company's factory. Later we attended the 20th anniversary ceremony at Putrajaya International Convention Center. Finally, we visited various sightseeing places in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia including Genting Highlands, and return home.
The reception given to Crown Ambassadors on the 20th anniversary impressed me so much that I decided to become a Crown Ambassador in DXN. Then I continued to build up my team and participated in seminars and symposiums. I trained all my team members constantly.
In August 2014 I achieved ESD status. In 2015 I achieved International Leadership Camp Promotion and participated in the Leadership Camp at Cox's Bazar. That time International Marketing Director Mr. NK Jijith and Dr. Rajesh Savera were present on the occasion. Participating in the leadership camp improved my leadership skills.
In 2015 I traveled to Thailand in TSIP.
In April 2016, I received the Senior Star Diamond pin in the presence of DXN's fastest Crown Ambassador Mr. Laszlo Kocso, and Dr. Hasan Al Khateri from DXN Middle East, at the Recognition Night organized by Daeshan Bangladesh Pvt Ltd.
In 2018, I participated in DXN's 25th Anniversary along with TSIP achievement. After qualifying for the International Travel Seminar, I traveled on one of the world's largest ships, the Royal Caribbean Cruise, Singapore-Thailand-Malaysia.
In February 2019, I received Bangladesh's first ever Executive Crown Diamond pin from DXN's Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. H.C. Teoh, at the Recognition Night organized by Daeshan Bangladesh Pvt Ltd. Then I participated as a trainer in leadership camp at BRAC BCDM in Savar.
In 2019 I achieved TSIP, and I traveled to Vietnam in TSIP 2019.
We feel the importance of DXN in the Covid pandemic in 2020 because everything in Bangladesh was closed along with the whole world and even our private chamber was closed, but our income from DXN business is not affected. From 2017 to 2022, DXN Bangladesh had a huge problem with the supply of products, but because of DXN's One World, One Market concept, we were able to continue our business here. I can continue the business because I have members in different countries of the world. There will be adverse situations in life, but success comes from overcoming the adverse situations. When I joined DXN, my family, my neighbors, and my colleagues gave me negative comments but when I overcame adversity, I achieved success in my life, and they are now happy and proud of me.
I bought a house and a car in Dhaka because I achieved financial prosperity through DXN; Alhamdulillah.
I always believe that there will be obstacles in life, and these obstacles will make my path stronger which will make my path to success easier. On this joyous occasion today, I would like to thank my upline, Prof. Dr. Mahabubur Rahman (SSD), Mr. Shamsur Rahman Pathan (EDD), Md. Foysal Khan (CD), along with my business partners who have supported me to the fullest, and it is with their support that I have successfully achieved the status of Crown Ambassador today.
I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to DXN Bangladesh's Management team, our IMD Mr. K M Rafique Ahmed, and our honorable Chairman, Datuk Lim Siow Jin who had made our path to achieving health, wealth, and happiness a lot easier.
We love DXN. See you at the top.
We are María Olmos and Alvaro Mejia, one of the DXN crown ambassadors. We came from families where being professional is the most important thing and we are grateful for every effort our parents made for our education.
In 2006, we learnt about the direct selling system and saw the opportunity to apply what we have learnt in the entrepreneurial field. We also learnt that not all direct selling system are real and that on many occasions, our appearance really matters.
With a son, debts, without a house and a car, but without losing the dream of being an independent entrepreneur, we decided to open our catering company. We were very happy to have our own business, hoping that our life would improve and get much better.
We firmly believed that if you keep on dreaming and your dreams are big, God will put new opportunities on your way. In March 2011, through a client and a delicious cup of coffee, DXN comes into our life.
Our experience with DXN products was fascinating. We have improved our mental and physical health. We have also managed to control our weight that we have gained due to the catering business conducted. With DXN we saw a very simple opportunity to develop customers, and find business partners without the need to make large investments.
We decided to do DXN seriously and professionally by applying all the knowledge acquired. With the discipline of a traditional business, we focus on education and train interested individuals to be a professional distributors in DXN with daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly events.
We have some small capital to bring products from Peru because DXN was still not established in Bolivia at that time. For one year, we maintained the business only with direct sales profits, and with people who dreamed with us.
Today, seeing these people who dreamed and worked in a committed way with us, living their dreams with cars, houses, opportunities to travel around the world with their families is the greatest satisfaction that DXN has given us.
Thank you God, thank you Datuk Lim and our powerful team for trusting in this wonderful life project. This is only the beginning. Now we are in 15th position in the DSN Global 100: The Top Direct Selling Companies in the World by Direct Selling News (DSN), we are sure that working professionally as a team and with a vision, we will take this wonderful company to the position it deserves: DXN number 1 in the world.
Good morning DXN! My name is Jaime Colque. Before knowing DXN, I worked as a distributor of a multilevel company living on direct sales without financial freedom. The only remarkable thing that I have achieved with the company is that I have managed to develop my skills.
My first job was with a tailor shop where I worked for many years. I worked a lot, but earned just a little without having any free time to study. I could not depend on my parents since they were not able to support me financially. However, at that time, my wife worked as a secretary.
During my previous job, I worked a lot, but with minimum income. I came from a low-income family. As a child, I have always dreamed big to achieve great things and to improve myself and bring my family forward and give them the best. I have always been looking for a real opportunity to generate high income and improve my family's lifestyle.
I was searching for DXN, as I had already heard and researched about the company and its products. I found that their compensation plan was impressive as it was simple and duplicable. I said to myself, “wow, this is for me”. So one day, a former colleague called me to talk about DXN just at the same time that I wanted to consume the products, to see if they are effective or not. When I started consuming, the first few days as a customer, I was delighted with the result. I said to myself “this really works and the price is affordable”, and that has been the main reason that I started to do DXN full time in the city of El Alto, La Paz in Bolivia. At that time, DXN was not in Bolivia yet, but still, we managed to grow. The company officially established in Bolivia in March 2012.
What I always dreamed of as a networker is to have financial freedom, freedom of time and freedom to travel, and all of these have came true. I have obtained a lot with DXN in a short amount of time. But this of course came with hard work. With short, medium and long-term plans and goals, I have achieved the status of Diamond, Crown Diamond and Crown Ambassador and I am the first to achieve the status in the country. I am now enjoying the freedom in health, time and financial.
Once a tailor and now a successful and professional individual in network marketing, I am very proud and thankful of the status of Crown Ambassador that I have achieved. It changed my life forever, and also the lives of others in various countries. With DXN too, we have traveled to a lot of countries all over the world, fully paid by DXN. DXN is a company where all your dreams will come true.
Now, together with my wife, I have built a legacy so that our next generation and many families in Bolivia will live in peace and freedom.
My infinite gratitude to Datuk Lim Siow Jin, Mr. Prajith Pavithran, Ms. Bing Undajon-Adalla, the Managers, the Corporate Staff, and the Leaders, for their endless support in my journey with DXN.
Let us achieve success together and see you at the top
Health is wealth. I am proud as I am able to help myself, my family members and my dear friends to attain great wealth and excellent health.
I operated a garment factory and enjoyed a good income. However, I had to work extremely hard and consequently my health deteriorated significantly. At this time, my friend introduced DXN products to me. I grew to like them and was attached to the Reishi products. My health had obviously improved after I took them.
The encouragement of my friends and their acceptance of DXN products, in addition to my perseverance, have enabled me to actively pursue my success. Having confidence in DXN and its products, I always shared my knowledge on health issues and my life experience with my fellow friends, so that they too, would be aspired to achieve excellence in their own lives. My friends in turn supported and trusted me so much so that I was highly motivated to proceed with what I believed in. My family has always been my top priority. I always ensure that I take care of their needs and spend quality time with them. I can afford to be selective in my client base and I usually communicate well with my clients before meeting them. Due to the flexibility of my business, I am able to do my work wherever I go. I invariably mention the benefit of DXN products to whoever I meet. I hold my career in high esteem as I am driven to help myself and others attain health and wealth. My attainment of the Crown Diamond status today is neither due to my eloquence nor my sales technique. Instead, I ascribe it to my willingness to share with others about health issues and the efficacious DXN products. I dare to dream that the excellent DXN products will be accessible to everyone universally. The career in DXN can help any ordinary person achieves extraordinary success—my achievement is one of the testimonies. Lastly, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the founder of DXN, Datuk Lim Siow Jin, for opening up such great opportunities for us to gain good health and wealth. Besides that, I would also like to thank my fellow friends who have given me full support all the way. Let us achieve success together and see you at the top!

3 . What happened in our first CA year?DXN Member since 24 July 2008
My wife and I were both entrepreneurs, we had a company together. We were very successful in it but after a while we noticed that we became our own company's slaves. We aspired to a free life which means not only financial freedom but also more free time. Direct selling seemed to be the best solution to reach it. When we first met the coffee with ganoderma I remembered what a marketing professor told me: If you want to be the best at something then you have to work with the best. We found DXN on the internet and then I traveled to Malaysia to see with my own eyes that DXN is really the best company for us.
One of the biggest life changing moments for me was an accidental meeting. Meeting Mrs. Jane Yau was the greatest and best first impresssion I could ever have of the company as she unselfishly and tirelessly helped me and still helps me today amass a huge amount of knowledge on ganoderma. I consider it a great honour to have her as my sponsor.
Also, the fact that we personally know the founder and president of DXN, Datuk Lim Siow Jin and that we completely share his vision is another reason why we chose DXN.
In setting up our DXN business, the Internet and the online business-building model played a key role. Thanks to my 12 years of online marketing specialized knowledge and experience I could provide a well-functioning online Direct Selling business model to our downlines.
We are the first European and the fastest Crown Ambassadors in DXN and many people ask us about our secret, they ask how we managed to reach such success in such a little time. Actually there are no secrets, but if you want to know what is the reason why we made it then I can mention two things. The first is the family. The family plays a very important role in our work, we have six children and they participate on a daily basis in our work. So for us it is really a family business, we worked together to reach the success in the DXN business, it was our common goal. The second thing is something that is missing in the case of many business builders: the focus. Our focus was on DXN since the very beginning. We were totally concentrated on this work, this is not even work for us, because we love it so much. So from the very beginning our focus was on developing the business and helping our downlines to reach success.
Even now that we have reached the highest business position, we are absolutely not considering to stop building this excellent business. There are still many possibilities in Europe, there many markets to open. Also, after having reached this level in 5 years, our goal for the next 5 years is to double the number of our direct Diamonds.
When other business builders turn to me for advice, I say just one thing. You have to accept the fact that there is only one thing you can influence, and this is how many people you show the products, the business opportunity to. If you still haven't reached your goals then you should concentrate only on this. If you do so, this business will work for you.
If you would like to follow my career, please read my blog: http://www.dxnsolution.com/.
Our story began in 2008. A very nice couple, with whom we had many years of working relationship with, constantly talked about looking for an Direct Selling business because they realized that this was the way to make a fortune. He worked in the Internet field and IT was his specialty. He was looking for a product for which, with his online knowledge, he could build a professional online support system. We trusted him so we accepted DXN without question, mainly because there wasn’t any risk factor.
When I first joined DXN, I considered it a hobby and also treated it as a hobby for a while, but there were quite a few promising phenomena. After a week of DXN Ganoderma coffee consumption, I needed about an hour less of sleep and I was more energetic, and the positive feedback from those around me after they had consumed Ganoderma coffee encouraged me to talk at more and more places with more and more people about DXN.
That was enough for me to reach the status of Star Agent, Star Ruby and then Star Diamond. Up to this point, I did almost everything alone because 20 years ago, Tündi had some negative Direct Selling experience which prevented her to seriously look into the possibilities of the DXN business. However, her experience with the products brought her closer to DXN, and when I reached the level of Diamond, she was contrite and apologetic, and now our goal is the same. The realization of how much we can help people medically and financially motivated us to learn more and be even better in communication, in relationship with people and in leadership. The key is in these areas because the company’s products are great and perfect for everyone.
We are committed in the direction to touch more people and help them to overcome everyday problems and enable them to inspire others.
It has become our mission. My wife, Tündi, who has been supporting me for over 30 years, and after 27 years of successful and effective work could let go of her first job and now we do DXN Business full-time, working together as a pair, in multiplying our effort to achieve our goals. We have no doubt we will reach the highest level in DXN business. Until the target is achieved, there is still a lot of discussions, learning, training and consulting, but we enjoy every moment that we spend inspiring people. We are looking forward to new opportunities and new partners, and the true success is when we see positive results in other people and positive turn of their life for the better.
So that’s why we’re in the DXN business, and that’s why we are in the right place at the right time.
We are currently at the Crown Diamond level, but it’s just the first step of our journey. A step which shows our results, how many people we have inspired and helped to reach the level of diamond. This is a wonderful achievement for us, but we still have some ways to go to achieve our target but we know as long as we work hard, and help people to overcome their problems and fears, we will achieve our goals.
19 Years of Direct Selling Experience. 10 Years DXN Direct Selling Experience.
I was indeed lucky because I was able to accept the Direct Selling concept since it was first introduced in 1988. I saw that such effort would open up a new realm of opportunities to change my life at that time, when I was far from luck after the bankruptcy of my parents that hindered the continuation of my studies.
After I saw the presentation given by someone who apparently achieved success in life through Direct Selling businesses, I thought it was not difficult to undertake such Direct Selling effort myself so that I could likewise achieve excellence in life. Nevertheless, when I actually started doing the business it was not as easy as what I heard and perceived earlier. In the beginning, I encountered numerous barriers and refusals, and my progress was impeded by my ignorance of the correct concept and proper procedures involved. Efforts coupled with a relatively small capital in a business obliged me to study whenever possible. I joined most trainings that were provided, during which I was given guidance by more experienced and successful leaders. Yet I found it difficult to put the teaching into practice. I realized that one of the greatest failure in undertaking such Direct Selling efforts was due to our ego. I was hesitant to put down my ego especially when I was trying to introduce the business and products to my family and friends, even though I had a sincere wish to share the opportunity with them.
Discussions with and trainings from other distributors and leaders that have attained brilliant success in their Direct Selling business opened my eyes. I understood that success rooted in one’s will to put down the sense of egotism and persistently sponsor new distributors, use and sell the products, join the trainings and provide training to downlines. There is no alternative way to be successful in any Direct Selling business except those mentioned. The belief that success could only be achieved through hard work and serious commitment was deeply rooted in my mind. I knew I had to persevere in order to bring about positive changes in my life and achieve dreams and aspirations in my heart.
Failure after failure.
From 1988 to 1997, I undertook a few Direct Selling businesses. In those 10 years, my effort and hard work went down the drain. I faced great obstacles and adversities, in particular the instability of the companies, many of which ended up with bankruptcy. All my efforts proved to be futile. The rewards I received did not commensurate with the efforts I put in; the bonus calculation scheme was obscured and complicated; the decline in our status each month rendered maintenance and improvement of our status extremely difficult. These failures however did not discourage me from putting more effort into Direct Selling. The conviction that the Direct Selling business would enable me to improve the quality of my life kept me moving forward in my endeavour.
Success comes from Consistency
In July 1997, I was introduced to DXN. I knew that DXN was a company based in Alor Star, Malaysia that produced series of Ganoderma Lucidum products. I was attracted by DXN because of its One Dragon concept. Its independence of foreign assistance is the key factor that enables it to continuously thrive over a long period. Although DXN at that time was relatively new and small, it already attained the GMP and other quality production standards and certifications from the local government. My conviction increased after I came to learn that Datuk Lim Siow Jin is the single owner of DXN.
I started my DXN business in Indonesia since DXN first ventured into the market in September 1997. The products were popular among the DXN distributors in Indonesia due to its high quality and efficacy. After my initial failure in Direct Selling, DXN came into my life and turned my dreams into reality. DXN proved to me and my friends that Direct Selling business, if undertaken seriously and diligently without fear of failure, will reward us with a quality life and unlimited income.
Global Business with One World One Market Concept
The development of DXN gets more impressive from year to year. From a small-scale company, it developed and grew into an international company. Although I did not own an academic degree, I had the opportunity to develop DXN in foreign countries, which is an unforgettable experience for me. I stayed in many countries for months or even years, namely Thailand, Philippines, Australia, America and Canada, to expand the DXN network. The One World, One Market concept is truly praiseworthy. Such wonderful concept from Datuk Lim Siow Jin does not only expand the territory of DXN but also provides opportunities to DXN distributors from any country to expand their business all over the world. Such global business concept enables us to form the network through all the countries in which DXN exists. At the moment there are 88 countries in which DXN has set its footstep. It is our goal to reach out to 150 countries by year 2020.
The global business concept, One World, One Market creates an unlimited network that enables any distributor to receive the product from a country that he might not even have visited before. The calculation of the monthly transaction is the combination of all activities around world. A concept that was launched in 1993 was the concept of Calculation without Limit, which is one of the most unique concepts in the world. When I first introduced this Global Business concept in America in 2002, some American distributors were pleasantly surprised; they could not believe that such wonderful calculation without limit system was put into practice.
Mind Set & Negative Thought to Direct Selling effort.
Till now, I have seen numerous testimonies of people who became rich via Direct Selling businesses. Such people are those who are open-minded and willing to learn the concept, create and expand the network. They can “retire” at a relatively young age and continue to be rewarded for the foundation they established earlier. With the strength of the network, their revenue is very stable and they continue to receive a stable income.
I regret the fact that many people still perceive Direct Selling on a superficial level — many still think that Direct Selling is meant for housewives and the unemployed, whose main work is to be a salesperson and sell the products.
19 Years of Direct Selling Experience. 10 Years DXN Direct Selling Experience.
My 19 years of experience in Direct Selling — from 1988 till now — helped me to conclude that Direct Selling can help us to realise all our dreams that are impossible if we only toil in our normal activities, such as, working in an office or doing conventional activities. Through the ten years doing DXN business in Indonesia and travelling abroad, I had the opportunities to meet with tens of thousands of DXN distributors from various professions—from professors, doctors, young professionals, teachers, blue-collar workers to housewives—who materialised their dreams and aspirations. They used to lead an ordinary life; yet they eventually managed to buy houses, cars, and send their children overseas and travel around the world. Professionals could free themselves from the monotonous daily routines. Through DXN, they are able to undertake network business in a relaxing and pressure-free manner. They enjoy the luxury of time and freedom. Seeing such people and listening to their stories caused me to be even more inspired by this Direct Selling business.
Open Your Mind
As a note of encouragement: for those who have not yet attained success in DXN business, do not be discouraged. DXN indeed has a global business concept that is extraordinary. This couples with its proven quality products, our success in this business simply depends on our hard work and perseverance in developing our network.
Remember that failure is a postponed success. All distributors have an equal opportunity for success. The outcomes depend entirely on each individual's effort invested in expanding his/her network. I would also like to encourage our fellow friends who do not yet truly understand or trust the Direct Selling business to open your mind and try to understand why Direct Selling business is able to generate numerous young millionaires.
Welcome to the DXN Direct Selling Global Business! The Opportunity for Success is Awaiting. Grasp it!
SUCCESS IS NOTHING WITHOUT COOPERATION, TEAMWORK AND DUPLICATION
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my direct upline Mrs. SULIA WIJAYA and my greatest upline Mr. BUDIMAN SALIM for bringing us into DXN, the World of Health, Wealth and Life Style and special thanks go to my beloved wife and my family for without their support I could never have achieved so much.
Prior to my enrollment as a DXN MEMBER, I managed my own traditional business for 19 years. Although I was considered as well-to-do, I faced a lot of risk, obstacles and challenges. My life was full of fear and I was very unhappy because my future was unclear.
In DXN I had learned about the truth of life, to be appreciative, determined and aggressive in life and I saw how people used the power of network duplication to change their way of living. DXN had provided us an ideal environment and unlimited opportunity that can bring us hope, happiness, health, beauty and even wealth.
I joined DXN in October 1997, I began learning about the product, consumed it, shared the product and knowledge, diligently adhered to the system, the company and the business concept. After I took some realistic actions, in just eight months, my financial situation improved enabling me to become STAR DIAMOND and eight months later I was promoted to the position of CROWN DIAMOND. I was 50 years old when I bade my traditional business farewell and focused diligently in DXN.
Before, I dream to travel; now with DXN I had visited Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Hong Kong, Philippines, Australia, Holland, Germany, Belgium, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Swiss & USA. The vision for SIMP 2005 by the Founder & CEO Datuk Lim Siow Jin would give me more opportunities.
I was aiming for the CROWN AMBASSADOR, it requires 20 SD lines, in order to achieve that I must add my direct lines and set my new goal. I am grateful to all of my downlines for their cooperation, support and assistance. In order to succeed we must be strong and determined, unafraid of failure and never admit defeat! Do the right business, follow the right leader!
Believe in it, act on it and you’ll be where you want to be, put all effort in DXN business for next 5 years and enjoy your fantastic passive income! See you at the Top!
GO CROWN AMBASSADOR ! BRAVO DXN !
“To have a clear goal, to work hard, to be meticulous and self-disciplined, to be willing to learn and always think positive”
Praises to our Almighty God for we have successfully achieved the Crown Diamond status. Both of us are grateful for doing DXN Direct Selling business, that we consider this as the highest blessing in both our lives right now. It has given us personal health, family and overall well being. We realized that success is not just getting what we want but a success is measured by how much we have helped others to get what they want. In our opinion, although this is not a very big business, it is not easy to run. The key to our success that helps us to achieve the Crown Diamond is “To have a clear goal, work hard, be careful, discipline, willing to learn and always have a positive attitude.”
In achieving what we want, it is advisable to have our own clear goals. If we follow the person in front of us, then, we will only reap the same as he does. We must dare to dream to live better than we are now, because of our confidence, the dream will come true. However, we must be reminded that we have a lot to learn in order to achieve that dream. We used to dream how to achieve the Crown Diamond status, now we have achieved it. There are two principles we strongly follow in Building our effort:
1. Never be intimated by people who are Smarter than you, as you Can win them by working Hard. 2. Profits will come to those who are not Afraid to work hard and smart.
In the beginning, we were just ordinary people, but we had extra ordinary dream. We had the determination and confidence to achieve that dream and so, we achieved it. If we can, you can do the same too, as we were like you in the beginning.
Why must we be satisfied with an ordinary life, if there is a better life for us, then we have as much right to live it too. At this moment, success is really wonderful, like a mountain climber, the higher he climbs, the more beautiful the scenery is. It is the same when one reaches the Mountain Peak of DXN, then, we are able to see and enjoy the wonderful cultures and colours of other countries such as those offered to VVIP. Besides that, there are various honours given to us, some rather innovative too. We have also found friendships with other partners who gave us more value in this business. On the route to success, we have faced much hardship. However, as we dared to face these hardships, they are now pearls to us and people around us.
All these successes are not incidental, they are in fact, a blessing from God who has given us a chance to meet with Crown Diamond Arikusuma Wibisono who had introduced us to this potential. Then there are other successful pointers such as Crown Diamond Darius Teguh Kristanto and Crown Diamond Tony Sugianto. Everything becomes complete with the help and encouragement from our business partners, the network system and DXN International, headed by Datuk Lim Siow Jin.
From a message by a very special person, SA Alwis Ghani who had given us some pointers in our successes, now is the time to thank everyone from the deep of our hearts. As we cannot thank all who have been such great inspiration to us, we have proven that we too are able to be successful like them. We hope our success will give you some inspiration, motivation and desire for you to achieve your ambition. Weave your future now into a legend in the history of mankind.
“Once DXN! Always DXN!”
I have enjoyed a good health and well being, as well as the freedom of time and money
My upstart in DXN Indonesia was around August 1997 through a friend, Boy Premana. He asked me to join him in DXN, which according to him would gain a handsome profit in a relatively short time and have a chance to travel around the world. As I observed the products and learnt about its marketing plan, I had the deep confident that I would be rather successful in this DXN business.
With my wide experience in property, restaurant and timber industries, I have a lot of acquaintances in and outside the country and have been maintaining a good relationship with them. I maximised this advantage and started to expand my network in Surabaya, my hometown. Then I expanded to most of the cities in Indonesia and overseas.
For the first month, the people I recruited were mostly some nutritionists, international health consultants and members of the holistic medicine. Dr. Husen Ahmad, PhD., a well-known herbalist in West Java, bought a large amount of RG-GL products, which put him in the Star Diamond level. I was his upline, so I was also promoted to the Star Agent in just 1 month with a bonus of 4 million Rupiah.
Prof. Dr. F. G. a government nutritionist with an international status, had an interesting observation about Ganoderma products which were to be launched into the market.
The Congress of Acupunctures of East Java with its hundreds of members were also involved in making DXN a success in Surabaya and other cities. Through these potential distributors, I could expand my network.
The economic crisis of 1998 in Indonesia had damaged the national economic mechanisms and caused the downfall of many companies and businesses, including Direct Sellings. However, this was not a bad news for DXN Indonesia. It was a chance for the business to grab the market. DXN proved itself by surviving the crisis and soon it became the leader of all Direct Sellings. That was indeed a miracle.
I also had many potential downlines, from the PHK writers to young bankrupt entrepreneurs. They were very serious in expanding their DXN network and the bonuses they received were more than enough for their own expenses.
In January 1999, after I achieved my Crown Diamond status, I started my international network. I first recruited a Filipino from the Philippines. From there, the network grew fast and strong, that DXN International in Malaysia decided to open a branch office in the Philippines in November 1999.
In accordance with that, my group expanded to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Brunei, Nepal, Cyprus, India, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Canada, Egypt, and a few states in the United States of America. Now, I am enjoying the profit sharing from these countries.
In December 2006, I joined the Performance Tour with 80 other internationals who were qualified to China. 90% of the qualifiers were my downlines from the Philippines. I was so happy with the reunion, seminars, discussions and sharing with them. Some of these partners are now millionaires with an income of US$10,000 to US$30,000, which I think, is rather amazing!
For those of you who want to achieve success in this business, you may have to pay attention to these tips : 1. Understand the prospect´s character, capability and his relationship with others well, as every human is different. 2. Use your time to mix with others, to build up good relationship with different people and to take heed of your communication with others so that your recruitment process would be easy and always growing. 3. Build trust in others when you put them first. 4. Be committed and loyal to everything you have done. 5. Master your product knowledge and marketing plan as well as you can. 6. Know the development of the Direct Selling business, from the view of the legal system, culture and welfare of the country you intended to expand to. 7. Pray for guidance from God Almighty.
Now, I own a comfortable house, a few hectares of land for vegetation, a collection of export quality bonsai plants, and other properties that I am proud of. I am an enjoying a better life now.
I have enjoyed a good health and well being, as well as the freedom of time and money. That is why I am grateful to God Almighty for all His blessings so that DXN International can enjoy them too.
Thank you, DXN.
The Success of DXN means it is also your success
He does not even look like an ordinary business owner. However, his performance outshines that of an ordinary business manager. He has an outstanding mind when it comes to making business strategies that until the year 2004, his network has far extended, not only in Indonesia, but also to other foreign countries including Saudi Arabia.
Not only that, the pair of H. Umar Hasan dan Hj. Karlin S. Hasan, with much effort and support from all parties, formed an entrepreneurial school – STIKKI, which has successfully recruited 61 graduates this year, who are now undergoing certain trainings to become the next Direct Selling DXN entrepreneurs. Apart from the activities in Jabotabek, STIKKI has also grown to Medan and the area around it. That was because early in the year of 2005, Starnet and the entrepreneurial courses and seminars would be held in Medan.
Dr. H. Umar Hasan has come a long way since 9 September 1997. Before this, he was considered a black sheep in Direct Selling. He had joined many Direct Selling businesses and to him, DXN is still by far, the best. He took 10 months to achieve the position of a Star Diamond and 18 months later for this Crown Diamond. He waded through many difficulties before he was able to participate in tours to more than 10 countries, took an extended pilgrimage with his wife, bought and built his new house, changed his car 7 times, and bought some agriculture lands around Bogor.
H. Umar Hasan is now in the process of building, protecting and motivating his own partners. He has assimilated different marketing strategies, which he knows can really work out in the real world so that his partners would not be burdened by the wasted efforts. Apart from teaching in his entrepreneurial school, he also uses the concepts of Capitalist, Direct Selling Cooperation, Waralaba and Syariah. The business with DXN is abnormally far-fetched, but there are still many distributors who have not gained much nor benefited maximally from the business itself.
There are 3 types of successes that can be had with Direct Selling DXN : 1. The success of health making ourselves and others healthier 2. The success of the herb products and the business on the whole 3. The success of relationship ties that help to achieve financial success
With these three listed successes we always remind ourselves that the suggested targets can be achieved by oneself, a group or using the strength of a network. The outcome or result will get even better with every effort.
The Success of DXN means it is also your SUCCESS!
Our desire for freedom – be it financial, health, time and security – made us embrace what we consider “a great company” called DXN – about ten years back to fulfill our dreams.
We worked hard to attain such freedom combined with eagerness to learn and succeed. Today, however, we would notice that the corporate world is grappling with one of the most serious challenges to remain profitable and productive.
As founding member of DXN network in India, my wife and I quit our respective professions after attaining the financial freedom and live happily with our children even before my age of retirement. Previously, I worked as Economics Professor while my wife, being a doctor, was managing her own nursing home. Having the financial freedom, we have enough assets in preparation for the future of our children. We can say that we can practically live happy, healthy and peaceful without worrying for any kind of economic catastrophe.
Our passion and ambition, on the other hand, to travel the world can be attained through DXN. This wonderful opportunity that DXN has given for us to see every corner of the world. Since its launch in DXN India in 2000, we have already traveled more than 40 countries. DXN has also proven its world and created no boundaries to reach the people from all over the world thus creating the concept of “One World, One Market”.
With the overwhelming blessings we have, we are forever and truly be grateful to God and Datuk Lim Siow Jin, DXN’s Founder and CEO. He made us to be the true Crown Ambassadors of health, wealth and happiness.
Today, our dream is to continue reaching, touching and changing the lives of millions of people. We will share the dreams that we have achieved in doing the DXN business. We shall also continue to impart this important message to people: Do not ever lose hope for whatever difficulties you face in life. Turn these adversities into opportunities. Then every challenge will become an opportunity.
Do you want to reach the top? Then it’s about time to do something better and believe where others doubt!
Work while others refuse. Save while others waste. Stay and work while others quit. See you at the top!
GOOD MORNING to all. During my childhood, I was an average student from a middle class family with an ambition to achieve big things in life. I always dream of pursuing an innovative and unique business as a career with a zeal to change the way business used to be conducted.
During my graduation, Mr. R.K Sharma & Mr. R.S Chaudhary introduced me to a fantastic opportunity of DXN. This was the opportunity I was waiting for which inspires me to achieve big things as the business has no limit in terms of its growth. In the early 2000s, health consciousness and direct selling were new trends and people were not well aware of the impact it can create. It was difficult to convince people at that time.
I attended DXN Business Opportunity Meeting in Delhi which motivated me to pursue direct selling that was described as moving a product or service directly from manufacturer to customer using a network of large group of distributors or group of entrepreneurs.
I learned that 85% of our buying decisions are made from the word of mouth. I was impressed with the concept of becoming an entrepreneur with low investment, and where you need not to build infrastructure, hire employees, get government approvals, pay huge amount of taxes and lot more other hassles and I liked the concept of time compounding also.
Since it is a team work and this business also gives leverage of other people’s time, effort and skills. I think there is no other business like direct selling where everyone is supporting each other to reach their financial goal, become an entrepreneur and celebrate their success together.
I firmly believed that hard work will pay off in long term. DXN provided me the platform to fly high as only sky is the limit. Every single morning, I am even more enthusiastic to work harder and become a better leader.
Today I am a Crown Ambassador and it is just the starting of my vision. I would like to thank Datuk Lim Siow Jin for providing this wonderful opportunity and I have found strong mentors such as Prof. K.N.Vasupal, Dr. Rathna Vasupal and Dr. S. Ranjan, who continue to lead me to the right direction. I would also like to thank all of my uplines, downlines and parallel lines that have helped me to achieve what I have achieved today. Special thanks to my great uplines Mr. R. K. Sharma, Mr. Kabir Dhingra, my downline Mr. Deepak Kumar & Sangeeta Rani, Puneet & Kalpana Sharma and so many big leaders and my parallel lines Dr. Biplab Bhadra, Dr. Parwana, Mr. K.K Agarwal, Mr. J.K Singh, Mr. Santosh Devkar, and all management of DXN and everyone associated with me as a great united family.
I am grateful to God for blessing me with such a supportive life partner, Shipra and motivating parents to aspire for success.
Love all- Serve all, JAI DXN.
“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality”. Datuk Lim Siow Jin, CEO, DXN is truly trustworthy, and indeed helped a lot of people from their sufferings - physical, mental, financial and spiritual. The vision and dream of Datuk Lim to heal the world has come true. Desire to live long, healthy life, life without pain, quality life, have become a dream because of modern lifestyle, use of strong drugs, alcohol and tobacco, weak immune system and increased exposure to toxins and lack of time for exercise as well as stress and tension.
As birth is a natural process so doing a job is a natural necessity of life. At the time of joining DXN, I never thought that it would create such wonders in my life. I have great satisfaction and pride in extending this noble opportunity to many people and believe that it will change their quality of life. It is quite a new concept which is not only effective but also very simple. We have to use DXN products and tell the goodness of the products to others. The extraordinary products of this great company have such miraculous results. The success in DXN is guaranteed because of simple marketing plan and excellent products which speak for themselves. I enjoy working in DXN. It came in my life as a Ray of Hope. We can impart and share the same way to others' lives by working in DXN. Now, to spread the message of DXN and Ganoderma to the humanity became the main objective in life.
I am heartily grateful to DXN, RG/GL, DXN staff, our business associates, stockist and specially all the leaders who have contributed a lot in our success.
3D formula of success 1. Determination: Determine what you want to do. 2. Dedication and Devotion: Dedicate and devote your total time and energy to DXN. 3. Destination: If you have quality efforts then nothing is impossible.
So spend it usefully in the development of your knowledge and skill so that you can be the best. Your honest, sincere and dedicated efforts will certainly do good to you, your family, team and humanity.
So join DXN and enjoy, health, wealth and happiness.
Accountability: The battle cry for any business is performance, productivity and accountability.
I joined DXN after knowing from one of my friends that Ganoderma does not treat the disease but it helps our body to fight the disease. It is a mystical remedy of ancients, botanically known as Ganoderma lucidum. Through my friends, Mr. J.K.Singh and Mr.Subhash Vakil - Angel Services, I gained lot of knowledge. With their help and guidance I was able to spread the DXN message in Mumbai and today I am the first Crown Diamond of Maharashtra.
As I address for the first time after attaining this status, I acknowledge the respect, support, warmth and blessings from the tree of DXN family, management and stockists, during the different phases of my successful journey, starting from 1st Diamond of Maharashtra to the 1st Crown Diamond of Maharashtra.
I have noted only one thing “Without Architect plan, no construction can be carried out.” I have worked very hard with my team from the date of my joining and continue to do so for about 15-18 hours a day. This has helped me and all those who worked with me to grow like a big tree, which provides shelter to others and gives fruits at all times.
During the course of this journey, I have made several overseas tours, all fully sponsored by DXN. The blessings of a happy family life, good social circle, wealth and an opportunity to meet new family members---the world around---all has come because of DXN.
I also attended various seminars and training programs throughout the world which is hardly provided under the marketing plan of any other company.
In fact, before joining DXN, I was associated with different Direct Selling companies but the success ratio was very low due to unimpressive marketing plan and inefficient management team. Despite the hundred percent rate of effort, the success rate is not evident. But in DXN, I found everything, the best quality products, dynamic and productive marketing plan, stable infrastructure and good management. I joined DXN in 2001, three years after I got married. Today I have two beautiful daughters and owned a Free Car from DXN.
To sum up SUCCESS, I would like to mention that “Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. Your goal should be specific, realistic and measurable. Try setting a goal higher than you can reach - then reach it”
My dreams have come true after all...
MESSAGE FOR EVERYONE:
Now it is the right time and right way and right action for the right decision. In other words, DXN is indeed a sure success.
Finally, allow me again to greet a 'Good Morning' and my personal regard to respected Founder of DXN Datuk Lim Siow Jin, Dr. Rathna Vasupal and Prof. K.N. Vasupalaiah, Country Manager-Mr. Amarnath Sen Gupta, DXN Staff and all the distributors throughout the world, who have supported me directly or indirectly in the journey from an ordinary distributor to the prestigious title of “Crown Diamond”.
In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can. Before joining DXN, I was working in the automobile industry as an Electrical Maintenance Engineer. At that time, I could only purchase a house with one room and kitchen, on loan from the HDFC and I only owned a Bajaj bike. My salary was around Ten Thousand Rupees only.
On 6th March 2003, I joined DXN and Dr. Prakash Prabhu was the sponsor who introduced DXN to me. I was attracted to DXN due to my mother, who had recovered from various health problems after consuming DXN products. I was motivated in the DXN business after seeing the monthly bonus statement of Rs. 55,000/- from one of my uplines whose age was 60+ and who suggested this DXN business to me as a part-time business. So I started the DXN business as a part-time business and started getting good income and good health. That made me to begin encouraging others to join DXN. I started attending regular company meetings, regional camps and conducted regular home meetings and weekly stock point meetings. My knowledge on the company, product and marketing plan, increased as the years went by. At the start of my business, I mainly concentrated on consuming the products, sharing my experience with others and inviting them to regularly attend the meetings. As a result of this, I earned a good part time income of Fifty Thousand Rupees and more per month within the first five years.
In 2006, I bought my first four Wheeler – Maruti 800, in 2009 - Alto 800, in 2014 - Volkswagen and soon in 2017, I am going to buy a new car. In 2005, I purchased a 2 BHK flat and in 2009, I built a bungalow for my parents at my native place. Then, I sold my 2 BHK Flat and bought a new luxurious flat in Akrudhi Pradhikaran, Pune, which at present costs more than 1 crore rupees.
I am happy to say that I enjoy a good bank balance, so I can provide for my family, especially my two sons, who are both good lawn tennis players and very good in academics.
Thanks to DXN, I have had the opportunity to visit many foreign countries. I visited Malaysia in 2008, Singapore and Langkawi in 2009, Nepal in 2010, Singapore Cruise trip in 2011, Thailand, Pattaya and Phuket in 2012, Malaysia in 2013, Mauritius in 2015, Malaysia and Langkawi in 2016 and Dubai in 2017.
Now, I get to enjoy a debt-free life filled with joy and happiness. In addition, on 23rd March 2017, I achieved the highest status in DXN; Crown Ambassador. I love DXN because of the following reasons :
CHANGE to the DXN BRAND and CHANGE your LIFESTYLE for the better.
I succeeded in DXN due to my family members and also due to my PUNE MAHARASHTRA team-mates; without them I would not have achieved this lifestyle. To achieve success, put your team above you, be bold and confident and take all responsibilities on your shoulder; one day you will create your own history. There is a huge market in the world for DXN and there are opportunities for everyone to become multi-millionaires.
COME ON DXN. LET’S COME FORWARD.
COME ON INDIA
WE CAN HEAL THE WORLD
I was running my own business (cloth shop and ice factory) in my hometown in Bihar Sharif, Bihar (INDIA) and used to earn approximately 50 thousand per month from the business.
On 12th October 2011, I joined DXN. I was attracted to DXN due to my family members' health problems. Right from the beginning, I believed in DXN products and after using the products, we recovered from all our health problems. After consuming the products and receiving such great results, I started to share the benefits of DXN products with more people.
My wife and I started to attend regular company meetings, seminars, camp RVC freedom day celebrations and conducted daily home meetings.
During the beginning of our journey in DXN business, my wife and I did all the hard work and it paid off as we managed to achieve the Diamond status in only 5 months.
After achieving the status of Diamond, I was very motivated and this caused my business to grow rapidly. In just 18 months, I managed to achieve the status of Executive Double Diamond and also qualified for TSIP Malaysia in 2013.
When I was in Malaysia, I went to visit the DXN farm and right after the visit, I was even more motivated and hence, my business grew even bigger. Due to this, I managed to achieve the status of Crown Diamond in just 39 months.
With all the hard work and strenuous effort, I have achieved the highest status in DXN as a Crown Ambassador within only 6 years after joining the business. (As on 20/12/2017).
I am lucky to have received such a precious opportunity thanks to my mentor cum upline and RVC education. My family and I are now enjoying a very happy life. DXN has provided me with the freedom in health, time, wealth and much more.
DXN too has given me a lot of opportunities to visit many foreign countries. I have visited Malaysia in 2013, Mauritius in 2015, Malaysia and Langkawi in 2016 and Dubai in 2017 and it is all thanks to DXN.
Anybody can use DXN products.
Anybody can follow the DXN MARKETING PLAN.
Anybody can do it.
Anybody can achieve the highest status in DXN, the Crown Ambassador.
I received my medical degree (MBBS) from the Armed Forces Medical College, Pune, India in 1974. After graduation I served as a medical officer with the Government Health Services in India, Ministry of Health in Libya and a multi-national company. I also served as a Director in a charitable Hospital and worked as a private medical practitioner for many years. My life was pretty cool and quite comfortable.
In the mid 90s, I suffered from a disorder, where all my joints, muscles and bones became severely painful. Due to it, I was in need of people's help in performing my daily routine chores. My medical practice almost came to an end. Financial health also deteriorated. In May 2001, I suffered from a heart ailment, and was instructed by the cardiologist to refrain from strenuous activities. Life was difficult, but I remained positive and hoped that one day, I will find a solution to my problem.
On 7th January 2002, a friend of mine invited me to a home meeting of DXN, where I was told about DXN products. Initially I was sceptical, however, I took interest in DXN Ganoderma and read a lot of literature on it. After further research, I decided to give it a try and then started to feel its positive effects within a short time. I started learning more about the potential of DXN products and after convincing myself on its benefits, I started sharing the information that I had gathered with all my acquaintances.
In the beginning, people, especially my medical colleagues, were not convinced but I had developed such an unflinching faith in these products that I did not care much about their views of me. Over a period of time, people started coming to me for my opinion and advice. Word of mouth publicity gradually spread far and wide. Life has taken a wonderful turn but it wasn’t easy. Many times I had to face the utterly rude behavior of negative and short sighted people but my patience and faith kept me going, for the betterment of people's life. Now I am not at all disturbed by any negativity because I have learnt the knack of turning them into positive thinking people. Presently, I have lots of people under me, some of them doctors themselves in reputable hospitals in India as well as a couple of other countries. In 2006, I was awarded a Ph.D. (Alternative Medicine) degree.
I have learnt over a period of time that nothing is impossible to achieve, if one is truly committed. You only have to have a big, realistic dream, however impossible it may seem in the beginning. You must be consistent and persistent. There may be many hurdles in the way but those hurdles are in fact, just stepping stones towards your destination.
DXN products and the Direct Selling system is designed thoughtfully and meticulously to take you to your pre-determined destination. You just have to believe in your own potential and follow the system with faith. It will take you wherever you want to go.
I have always felt and pursued that working as a DXN distributor is not a business of earning money for oneself. It is a business of helping people improve their quality of life. It is in fact, a social cause. Money is just a byproduct of one’s services to society.
Thanks to Datuk Lim Siow Jin for developing such wonderful products and system and also for his faith in his team. Long live DXN.
GOOD MORNING DXN
Dealing electrical goods with German based companies and ranking tables amongst my competitor agencies used to be my hectic schedule until 10th October 2003 when DXN and myself found each other.
Lending my ears to the honorable late Dr. Parul Parikh, who soon went on to become my mentor, I got to know about the core concept of how Ganoderma works followed by the networking plan of DXN.
Prioritizing family health somehow over wealth, I convinced my wife (asthma patient) to consume DXN products; needless to say, it created wonders, which triggered my heart to be a part of this divine family.
From that very moment until now and forever, my only motto is gaining knowledge and spreading it which has in return blessed me with financial freedom, everlasting happiness in the form of invaluable boons, vacation trips, respectful life and most importantly, health.
Nevertheless, behind these perks is hidden a journey of 15 years which has withstood many obstacles. To those situations and foes who undauntedly stood resisting my path, I offer my deepest gratitude as here I stand; taller and stronger than ever before as the 1st CROWN AMBASSADOR of Gujarat and 8th in the nation.
Many many thanks to my beloved wife, DXN family, almighty God and Datuk Lim Siow Jin, as conquering one milestone after another at regular intervals would not have been possible without them.
"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today"
This one motivational quote by the great Franklin D. Roosevelt has been the reason behind my success story.
I started my journey with DXN in the year 2004. Before this, I did many odd jobs to meet the day-to-day requirements of my family. But then I realised that this was not enough for me; I wanted to achieve something bigger, grow bigger and be the boss of my own. I wanted to develop a workplace which would help me to complete myself everyday and to achieve highest success!
My greatest pillars of strength - My wife and my sister who always motivated me to work harder every single day.
Starting up business with DXN is like planting a sapling. It requires your outmost time and hardwork and when you have started and the sapling blossomed, it makes all the patience and hardwork worthwhile. The expert advice by our profound founder, Datuk Lim Siow Jin has helped me to cross all the hurdles in my journey with DXN!
FIVE THINGS THAT MOTIVATED ME :
DXN is the only platform where one can fulfill all dreams. My dream of being financially independent, leading a healthy life and exploring the world have been fulfilled ever since I got associated with DXN !
DXN helps to serve others and cure using natural products.
DXN helps to create a very powerful network of our own.
DXN creates successful leaders.
DXN promotes and pushes every individual associated with it to grow into effective, distinctive and powerful leaders of tomorrow!
Service to mankind is service to God. DXN helps us to serve mankind in the most profound manner. I am very grateful to all our mentors Mr. Bharat Garg, our Guru ji Mr. Deepak Kumar & Sangeeta Rani for always showing the light and guiding our way!
Skill × Effort + Hardwork - Failure = SUCCESS
Behind every success is a string of failures. But only your skills and hardwork will help you to overcome it!
My success journey through DXN
We believed that there is always a painful story behind every person’s success, so that everyone may learn from these emotional stories.
The journey of my life started from Pune. After completing my academic education in ITI course, I came to Pune with big dreams and inspirations to change my life. But after struggling in different companies for five years, I did not get a permanent job because I was not satisfied with the salary. While working temporarily in an industry, I was introduced to DXN through a coffee sachet “Lingzhi 3 in 1”.
This coffee sachet changed my whole life, and I started consuming the products. Tell me one thing. Do you drink coffee? At one time, I was drinking coffee and working on a machine during the night shift, I felt very excited and fresh the whole night. That was my first experience with DXN products. After introducing DXN to my parents, the products helped them a lot with their health problems. Today, my father and mother are in good health because of DXN products. I started sharing and promoting the products to everyone whenever I could. There were a few buyers but not many enough, but I knew that being an industrial worker could not fulfil all of my dreams as I wanted to pursue my own career in the biggest direct selling company in the world, also known as DXN.
I started my journey with DXN in a bicycle. I used to cycle around and share the products and opportunities through DXN’s business plan. I encountered many negative people who dampened my spirits and enthusiasm. But if you have a strong purpose in life, you will learn to ignore the negative voices and instead focus on your work, because hard work is what makes your dream come true.
Then, I was working in the Ministry of Defense in Central Government organization but I utilized my part time to do DXN business. People always complained that there was not enough time, but today I have achieved Triple Crown Diamond during my part time job. After that, I resigned my government job.
I never thought my business would go to one or two countries but today, it has reached to more than 40 countries around the world. In the last ten years of my life, I have bought 5 luxury car, and one of them is a Mercedes Benz. There was a time when I was unable to pay for the house rent, and was living with six roommates in one room. But today, I have my own big house in the prime location of Pune City. Because of DXN, we were able to travel to 11 countries around the world for free. After becoming the Crown Ambassador, I transformed myself into a direct selling coach, mind trainer and success mentor.
My wife has shown me invaluable support throughout my DXN journey. I would not have achieved all this without her by my side.
My sincere thanks to my upline Santosh Deokar Sir and Dr Prakash Prabhu who guided me from the beginning with support. We received guidance from the great Datuk Lim, Dr Rajesh Savera, Professor Vasupal and our beloved IMD Rafique. I express my deepest gratitude to all of my business partners as well as all India business friends and leaders who have supported us since day one.
I’ve always said “Challenges in life are extremely important. If your mind is in the right place, you can face any situation and handle anything with a positive mindset. In order to bring change into this world, it is necessary to move forward by adopting a positive attitude.
“I wish you all success, see you at the top as a Crown Ambassador!”
I wanted the liberty of being a master of my own future rather than leaving it in the hands of my boss. In other words, I wanted more freedom for me and my family. I dreamed of an opportunity where I could implement my ideas with the system. Therefore, I wanted to search for a more satisfying and enjoyable career. I wanted to have time flexibility at work. My quest for personal freedom eventually led me to DXN.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”, and I achieved it through DXN business. Now, we are able to reach out to thousands of needy families and help them achieve their dreams as well as attain good health, wealth, prosperity and fulfilment.
I dedicate my success to my great team who are smart, works persistently and are fully committed to the business. I also want to extend my gratitude towards the committed leaders of DXN, Mr S B ROUT, MR NEMICHANDRAN and MR P GANESHAN.
DXN gave me 4P – Prestige, Position, Profit, and Popularity.
Finally, I would like to thank the DXN Management for a healthy co-operation, encouragement and support. It is all thanks to Datuk Lim for providing the best product and system.
DXN IS THE BEST!
“When you start thinking positively, no matter the circumstances, you will always win and progress in the direction of your dreams”
My name is Gurcharan Singh, from Rajpura, Punjab. I became a part of the DXN Family in September 2018, with a clear target of achieving the title of ‘Crown Ambassador’ in 4 years, and with the grace of almighty and continuous support and motivation from my upline and company management, I have finally achieved what I dreamt of.
I worked as a government employee in Rajpura. I only had one dream in my eyes, ‘the dream of serving the people.’ No doubt, being a government employee gave me a chance to do so, but I wanted something that could give me as well as society, ‘Health, Wealth, and Happiness.’ I came across DXN and immediately felt, “yes, this is the best platform that could help me achieved my dream”. In the beautiful journey of 4 years, the only principle I followed was ‘hard work, determination, focus and positivity.’
DXN provided me with the best tools, the best technology, and the best mentorship.
I am thankful to the entire DXN family from the core of my heart who helped me achieve my dream and gave the best network of those who are a delight in the success of people around them.
Parmjit Kaur & Gurcharan Singh
DXN is the best partner for my health... Life always sends windows of opportunities to define our destiny.
I set my first target; to be able to work and collect enough money to buy my first air ticket to Malaysia, because I personally wanted to thank the founder of DXN, Datuk Lim Siow Jin, for giving me the opportunity not only to improve my life but also the life of the people in Mauritius.
Furthermore, I also wanted to thank Datuk Lim for giving me the opportunity to be one of the pioneers of the International market expansion by developing the market in Mauritius and establishing a DXN Branch there.
At that time, buying an air ticket was very difficult. After one year of hard work and devotion; I realized my dream in December 1997 by buying the first air ticket of my life. I got the chance to meet the founder of DXN, Datuk Lim Siow Jin who gave me so much confidence and blessing. In JANUARY 2016, I managed to achieve the highest status in DXN by becoming a DXN CROWN AMBASSADOR.
Without DXN and Datuk Lim Siow Jin, my life would never have been healthy, successful and happy.
I started working in DXN in 1996, and it has become a successful career of TWENTY HEALTHY YEARS. I now live a happy, fulfilling life and I hope, with DXN, I can make others happy too.
LONG LIVE DXN MAURITIUS!
I am Tumurkhuyag from Mongolia, me and my wife became members of the DXN business in 2010. Since then, we have both achieved the prestigious rank of Executive Double Crown Diamond.
Initially, I was struggling with poor health when we joined the business. However, after using DXN's products, I noticed a significant improvement in my well-being after three years. This positive experience inspired me to share the products with my friends and family, who eventually joined the business as well. Thanks to the vision of Datuk Lim Siow Jin, we are now leading healthier lives and creating more leaders in the process.
We are grateful for the support of our sponsors, who have shown trust and confidence in us, as well as the encouragement of our motivators, including our first Crown Ambassador, Mr. Budiman Saliman, and other Crown Ambassadors.
Looking ahead, our goal is to continue developing leaders and expanding our business worldwide. We are motivated to work harder to help even more people improve their health and achieve financial success. Let's work together and reach new heights of success!
My name is Uranchimeg and I first joined DXN in 2007. At that time, my health was not in a good condition and I suffered from various types of diseases. After consuming the DXN products, I realized that I was getting healthier. I then shared my experience and testimony with a lot of people. The best thing that I received in life from DXN is the chance to live healthily. I was more confident to share my results with others.
After doing DXN business for more than 10 years, more members and leaders were produced. With the increasing number of members joining DXN, our vision is now spreading and we are achieving so many achievements.
We were not only working with members and leaders from Mongolia, but also from other countries such as China, Turkiye, and Belgium, under the One World One Market concept.
My current status is Executive Crown Diamond, and it is achieved with the help of hard-working team members and leaders.
I am extremely grateful to be a part of this wonderful company, where you can get all the good things, as long as you are working hard for it.
I am one of the pioneers of DXN Mongolia. Since the beginning of DXN's operations in Mongolia, I have been working actively, willingly, and diligently until today. During that time, I had my own experience with the MLM system and immediately liked the features and advantages of DXN and started working with enthusiasm and confidence. Although the engineering profession I acquired from my youth was sufficient for my life, my heart and mind were voluntarily drawn to the DXN Business. I left my old job and started to put 100% focus on the DXN business without hesitation. My current life is a testimony that DXN is the right choice.
DXN makes me happy and enjoys doing business as I had chosen the right company. DXN's business, products, and marketing are the 3 most important things in DXN. That's what I like about this company and it is 100% undoubtedly reliable. I visited the DXN farm and factory in Malaysia 5 times. Each visit caused me to be more eager in doing this business. I am constantly learning in this business and I am working diligently to develop my team.
My family is enjoying the DXN products in Mongolia. I am very pleased with all the benefits that DXN offers to its members. We are always grateful to Datuk Lim Siow Jin. My future goal is that Sunnya will be spread to more people and more people will master this knowledge. It is very satisfying that my children will be able to carry on with this reliable business. If everyone works ethically and systemically in the DXN business, everyone will succeed.
I really appreciate the DXN company. Thank you.
See you at the top.
Good morning DXN.
My name is Edilia García. I was born in Morelia Michoacán, Mexico. The goal of sharing my story is to inspire everyone and to show that despite the adversities in life, you can still achieve your dreams.
I had a difficult childhood, and didn’t get the chance to study, so I do not have an academic degree, but since I was a kid I have always dreamed of a different life for me. I have two beautiful daughters, Nancy and Nelly, whom I consider a blessing. At that time, I had a debt of 150,000 dollars. My oldest daughter was very sick, as I did not have sufficient money to buy basic necessities or food, while my youngest daughter had to leave school due to financial constraints.
Before DXN came into my life, I was a saleswoman but heavily in debt. Through my ignorance, I sold everything but I was not focused on anything, therefore I never had any successful results. I didn’t know what direct selling was and my first venture in a direct selling company before DXN, was one of the worst experience of my life because although I worked very hard, but at the end they took everything from me. I did not understand why this had happened to me, but I am very thankful to God for all the things that I have gone through. Today I understand that God had something bigger in store for me.
When I was at the lowest point of my life, in desperation, I prayed to God to help me get out of the state of poverty in which I was. I was disappointed and frustrated, but God heard my prayers and one day, good fortune called DXN knocked on my door. I am grateful to the person who introduced me to the DXN business. Thanks to this person's insistence, after several visits, I finally said yes to DXN. I started by consuming DXN coffee, and when I began to see positive results with my health, I started to share DXN with more people.
The road to success was not a smooth one. Since DXN was not yet established in Mexico and I could not afford to invest in DXN, I could not give out free coffee samples but could only offer the DXN Coffee sachets to the customers to smell its aroma. With no training and lack of knowledge of the DXN System, we failed in the first 10 months but despite all the obstacles, we were able to make DXN known in Mexico.
Things began to look up for us, when we had our first training with three people on January 4, 2007. The next day we rented a small room and the first 17 people from this first group arrived. During this training was when I understood that DXN was the company that I was waiting for. They asked us three questions : Do you know anyone who drinks coffee? Do you know anyone who has a health problem? Do you know anyone who needs money? My mind began to project itself to something very big because I realized that I was in the right industry. Then the next question was if we wanted to achieve financial freedom, but in my ignorance I did not understand what that was. I was told that it means to earn a million a year or 80,000 pesos a month. So I asked what I should do? The answer was simple, focus and work, let yourself to be guided and do not change the system.
From that moment on, I put aside the catalogs of other companies and put my full focus and energy into DXN. I was told that within 3 to 5 years I can reach my financial freedom, but I was pleasantly surprised when I managed to achieve financial freedom within one and a half years. Of course I focused only on DXN and worked very hard, but nothing is free in this life and I had to pay the price by not being able to spend time with my daughters. However, although I went through many obstacles, I managed to turn them into opportunities. Over time I learned that loyalty, commitment, perseverance and constancy are very important ingredients in order to achieve success and when you support your members and your team, the faster you will reach your goal. I thank God, DXN, the whole team, my daughters and DXN staff for all the support I have received, because without all of them, I would not have reached my goal. My life has changed considerably for the better. I managed to pay off my debt within three years. With little by little investment, today I have 7 authorized service centers. When I was a child I dreamed of traveling around the world and DXN has made this dream come true. My message is this : no matter what you have gone through in life, if you believe in what you are doing and if you have confidence and faith in the project that is being presented to you; you will achieve great things in life. You cannot stop working hard or blame others for your problems. There are no excuses for not achieving everything you set for yourself; remember that everything is within you.
This road has not been easy but it has been worth it. DXN gives you the opportunity to achieve health, wealth and happiness. And today I want to also thank the 20 Diamonds who believed in this project and who believed in me, because thanks to the work in these past 10 years I was able to achieve the status of Crown Ambassador. This success is not only mine but of the whole team. Since I have achieved my goal, my commitment is to support each one of you who wish to achieve the level of Crown Ambassador. I made the commitment to myself that I will achieve my Crown Ambassador status together with the people from my country and today this is a reality. I am a proud woman, I am Mexican and I want to thank Datuk Lim, and congratulate him for the many lives that he has changed, not only my life and my daughters, but countless others. Thank you!
Before DXN, I worked in other Direct Selling companies searching for health, instead of doing business, because I already had my own business in the public transportation sector. Unfortunately, because of several thefts, I had to give up that business.
Due to the above situation, my health deteriorated to the point of suffering serious intestinal problems. It was during that time that I met someone who was a DXN member, and who was so determined during the 6 months he took to convince me to join the business, although I repeatedly told him; "Really, coffee? Are you crazy? I have serious intestinal problems, my doctor forbade me coffee". After explaining to me about the product, I was convinced to taste DXN coffee and was happy to find that it did not cause me any negative effects and I was even able to sleep peacefully that night, something that I was not able to do in a long time.
Once I tasted DXN coffee, my faith in the product began.
When I first started with the DXN business, people had no idea of my economic situation; no one knew that I didn’t even have enough money to buy a simple soda. I could not even buy my own membership, but my wife helped me and thanks to her, we were able to begin our DXN journey. When I first started the business, my strategy was to use the sense of smell. I introduced the product to people by asking them to take a sniff of the coffee in its sachet and when they got a whiff of the delicious aroma of DXN coffee, they bought the product immediately.
Since I understood the structure of the DXN business, I knew I had a lottery ticket in my hands: we all want to buy a car, a house or travel, but only a few will take the risk and the opportunity to buy that ticket and make their dreams come true.
In 20 days, I became a Star Agent (SA) because I worked hard enough to sell 500 boxes of product.
That’s why I ask you, "When are you starting?". The first year is going to be difficult, but if you have the drive and focus in the business, in building your network and you practice the DXN culture, then you are on the right track.
There is a big difference between an employee and us; if the employee decides to take a vacation, his income will stop during that time. On the other hand, the DXN distributor that has a solid network and has committed to the company, will receive his paycheck every month. That is not something you hear every day, right?
I thank all the people who have helped me overcome challenges and for their effort because if it was not for the teamwork, the network would not be the same today. And of course, I thank my wife and sons for supporting me in this business, because without them none of this would be possible. "Be careful! Because in DXN, if you have a dream, those dreams can come true!"
Good Morning DXN!
My name is Maria Concepcion Navia Meneses, better known as Conny Navia. My career in DXN began with a big dream that I consider is similar to what every other white-collar workers have been dreaming of, which is to have a quality life that allows us to enjoy everything, in a very honorable way and enjoy our career.
For 30 years, I had been working in the health industry, achieving a modest retirement pension but finally I realized that it was impossible for me to have the quality life that I want with the retirement pension I receive. At the end of my career, I had decided to continue fight for my dreams and goals with the full support from my beloved husband.
I never let circumstances disconcert me or my dream and I never doubted that I could realize what I have been longing: “My dream was to achieve a quality life for my family”. By working hard to achieve what you want, you leave aside your health, and meeting your needs have become your main priority. Because of this, my health was deteriorating due to excessive working. In 2007, my friends shared with me a product which is coffee with Ganoderma, and I realize that it is a natural product and an opportunity for me because it is a product that we will consume continually.
I have decided to do some research about Ganoderma and I found out that I needed to improve my health. I and my husband attended a training with our beloved Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Teoh Hang Ching and since that day, I visualized myself saving the health of my husband and mine and at the same time accomplishing our dream of having a quality life. That was the day we make the decision to join DXN and my adventure in DXN began.
I put myself at hundred percent in every activities that I have done. We take it very seriously with commitment and professionalism as that has always been our way of working, and to save our health is the most important thing. Training is the primary basic thing we do everyday in order to reach our goals in DXN. Day by day, we keep growing the network, as a part of our development in DXN because the knowledge is continuous and never-ending.
Our first achievement is the Travel Seminar Incentive (TSI) to Cancun, Mexico. Since then, every year we have been recognized with new ranks and joined TSI, visit different countries and places that we have never imagined. And 2019, we finally achieved the rank of “CROWN AMBASSADOR” which is the highest rank existed in our company with pride and success. With consistency, discipline and perseverance, we finally achieved it.
Now, we managed to own 5 properties in Mexico City, a ranch in Oaxaca, Mexico and two new SUVs, and most important thing is, we are now debt-free.
DXN had taught us not to get easily distracted. With the teamwork that I have with my husband and sons, the network is growing and we are living with this value. A great sense of satisfaction was felt when we produced committed leaders with great vision for their life. What more important is that we are doing the correct duplication of our network. My current goal is to continue supporting the Diamonds Team that we committed to help them day by day to achieve their goals so that all of them will become Crown Ambassador as well.
I would like to thank Datuk Lim Siow Jin, DXN Family, my husband Gustavo, my sons Daniel, Miguel, Isaias, Erick, and Omar for giving me tremendous support. Thank you too to all my networks who are wonderful people and were always together to make all our dreams come true. Our dream has now came true, and it is sure that if our talents, visions, efforts and teamwork can be united, we can make the world to be a better place for our younger generations so that they can learn about health maintaining, fulfilling their time with passion, attitude, love and vision which are the key ingredients that I have been practicing throughout this 11 years, living in a continuous learning process.
My wish is to continue to inspire more people and educate them that sky is the only limit and that everyone could be achieving their dreams.
My name is Carlos Salazar. I got to know about DXN thanks to my brother, Ángel, who was the first person to invite and offer my wife, Silvia Turrubiarte and me, a cup of DXN coffee. Initially, Silvia was the one who began consuming the product; thanks to her, everything began to take shape.
Previously, I had tried many products and honestly, I didn't give the Coffee with Ganoderma a chance, because I didn’t know its benefits.
To help my brother, my wife started to recommend DXN products to friends, neighbors and relatives. The testimonies of the people and the faces of happiness that I saw in them, made me want to investigate more about the benefits of Ganoderma. The scientific studies and all the information about the company and its products made me realize that this business was different.
From this point, I started to consume the products and I could see the results; giving me a new hope at life. My aches had diminished and my health had notably improved. I started to take Spirulina Mega Dosage and complemented it with other products such as Coffee, Cocozhi, Spica Tea and Morinzyme. As I was looking at how my life had changed and this being a personal testimony, I felt the moral responsibility of sharing my story with the people. Through the bonuses I saw the business benefits, which helped me first to get my own product for free and then to see extra income.
All this motivated me to open my own Service Center in the city where I live; to get the financial freedom by doing this business. My family joined the business and they became independent distributors like my wife and me. From my father-in-law to my sons, everyone who joined this project are becoming leaders of the future. Our first goal was to affiliate 100 members and then we put a higher goal, and when we reached 1,000 affiliated distributors, our emotion was indescribable. Nowadays we can trust in the company by seeing all the members who are joining this business because they have seen great satisfaction from the people who consume DXN products and who have gained health, wealth and happiness, as we have.
Over the years we have understood the greatness of this life project. We see all the people reaching out to us to buy the products and make their business grow. Thanks to this, we won the opportunity to take part in the Travel Seminar Incentive (TSI), with the chance to visit all the spectacular places that we could never have imagined before.
Noticing that my bonuses were higher than the salary of the Director of the University where I used to work, I made the decision to resign from my job and to dedicate myself full time to my business.
To have reached the status of Crown Diamond made me set a new goal to gain the financial freedom that I've longed for all my life, and that only in this business of network marketing I have seen with my own eyes. Now I am sure that dreams do come true with DXN!
If we want an easy life , we have to be wealthy; but in order to become wealthy, we must not take it easy
It is our hard work that brings success and a brighter future for us. As the saying goes, “Failure is the first step towards greater success.”
When we first began to be active in DXN business in the early of 2000, many of our friends did not want to follow. Their reason was that most local companies would not last long. We did not give up but continued to work hard. We achieved the Star Diamond in July 2001, Senior Star Diamond in October 2002, Triple Diamond in March 2003, Gold Diamond in August 2003 and Crown Diamond in November 2003.
Within 43 months, we achieved the status of Crown Diamond. For us, the zest and high spirit to provide services to distributors and their willingness to sacrifice had brought us the success. We are certainly happy but we will not stop here. Our aim now is to help more distributors to achieve the status of Star Diamond and above.
Now we are able to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle. Apart from Malaysia, our network of distributors has spread to 9 other countries. Presently, we are receiving profit sharing from 24 countries. This is the strength of the DXN Business Plan. Products such as RG/GL and Spirulina are highly efficacious. Our satisfaction is that we can help others to achieve good health apart from getting good income for ourselves.
We always remind others not to give up easily. If a distributor has the determination, he or she can definitely achieve success in this DXN business. Allow us to convey our utmost gratitude to Datuk Lim Siow Jin and Datin Leong Bee Ling for giving us the golden opportunity.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our Diamonds and all distributors in our network, managers and staffs of DXN who have given us their strong support.
Last but not the least, let us share with you this quotation : “IF WE WANT AN EASY LIFE, WE HAVE TO BE WEALTHY; BUT IN ORDER TO BECOME WEALTHY, WE MUST NOT TAKE IT EASY.”
Falling into a rut can happen so gradually that you fail to realize it is happening until you hit the bottom. In the wake of so much pain and loss, we became less and less motivated to do much of anything. Slowly, our eating habits became worse until we were regularly eating chips and cookies for breakfast. We would crash hard in the afternoon, struggling to stay awake at work. To compensate for poor productivity, we worked at night and on the weekends, instead of spending time with friends and family.
Every day, we kept on thinking where we were heading, what was our children future and how we were going to give them the best in education and lifestyle, a comfortable home and a secure life. However, now, the situation has changed and we are living a life of pride and freedom; thanks to DXN who has energized us and brought back vitality into our life. During the past decade in DXN, we climbed the ladder of success and helped so many people in terms of health, wealth and freedom. Both of us never expected to grow so far in DXN although there's still room for more growth in DXN for us. It has been a lengthy process of building, creating and maintaining the family network of DXN which has already penetrated into more than 180 countries in the world, with plans for expansion into more countries in the future. It’s wonderful to realize that we have a large network of so many teams in many countries without even noticing the existence of that country or going to that country yet. This is DXN; changing the way of life.
There are so many ways out there to make a ton of cash but for us, we believe in DXN, because we not only get to enjoy WEALTH, we also get HEALTH and FREEDOM. During these past 10 years, we have achieved the status of CROWN DIAMOND, which has motivated us to go even further and achieve the status of CROWN AMBASSADOR by adhering to the DXN principle of HEALTH, WEALTH and FREEDOM.
The key rule we abide by is maintaining a good relationship with our business partners or also known as downlines. For us, we don't think of it as creating downlines but building a family tree of partners that share knowledge with each other, assist with health issues and attain joy through helping the needy, easing suffering and educating the poor to be more successful in life. Our team's motto is always respect and help each other.
There are ample opportunities for business but rarely can you build a business with a family network filled with sharing and caring for each other, which cannot be seen in any other business except DXN. The best marketing plan and the best product in the world give human beings additional years to live and a chance to enjoy life. The best three keywords that we uphold in DXN are “SIMPLE DXN Millionaires”.
Last but not least, we are grateful and thankful to our upline and our DXN family, who are growing together with us to become millionaires one day. We are proud to say that without them, we would not have achieved this level. In addition, we would also like to offer our heartfelt thanks to Datuk Lim Siow Jin, the founder of DXN, for DXN's immense contribution to mankind, globally.
THE SECRET OF GETTING AHEAD IS GETTING STARTED
Health is Wealth, We are proud as we able to help ourself and family members, our network to achieve the greatest wealth in the world.
The encouragement and willingness of network towards the DXN Business enabled we to endeavour in our journey towards success, beside the confidance in DXN One World One Market concept. Always share our experience in health and success with our network so that they too would have the mission to achieve excellence in their own lives.
Our achievement towards the Crown Ambassador status today is not because of our ability to speak well or our skills in the sales technique. It is attitude of sharing with others about health and wealth. We follow our mentor Datuk Lim Siow Jin the concept Ganotherapy and we learn more about skill in Iridology. Dxn career can turn any common person to achieve uncommon freedom.
Lastly, we would like to extend our heart felt thanks to the Founder of DXN Datuk Lim Siow Jin and Wife, Staff of DXN Holdings and Marketing, Our Sponsor TD Subramaniam and Wife, CD Fazil and wife and special thanks to CA Lee Gee Kow and Sim Poh Meng who give me and my wife Sundri countless support and encouragement.
See You At The Top!
With the beneficial health products of DXN, I started to believe that DXN is more than a direct selling company. Sharing the knowledge and gift of health on Ganotherapy to others became my passion and daily routine. I love what I am doing. I got the ultimate satisfaction when I see those I have helped could achieve the same good health. DXN indeed became a platform for me to help others in the new era of health care and health maintenance.
I keep enriching myself on the knowledge about ganoderma with the experience I have underwent and continuous hope to advance towards the throne of success.
I would like to pay my gratitude to DXN CEO Datuk Lim Siow Jin for his business philosophy ‘ONE WORLD ONE MARKET’, which offers a perfect platform for me to invade the European market. I am taking full advantage of this business opportunity created by DXN to secure a foothold in the global market place and became an international direct selling leader.
DXN is in my blood. I am doing DXN business with my heart and soul. With the perfect platform DXN has provided, I am enjoying the benefits and rewards I am earning in life.
DXNers, continue to grow in doing the DXN business while enjoying the harvest of love throughout our DXN career. Be determined and let success come in your life.
Good Morning DXN,
I worked as a government servant for 30 years and also operated my own business before joining DXN.
Direct selling business is nothing new or strange to me yet I still failed in all the direct selling companies that I had joined before. With the realization, that my dreams could not be fulfilled by working for other people, I was fortunate that on 18th Feb 2001 that one of my old friends, SSD En. Wahid Hj Suki introduced me to DXN.
Looking at DXN's superb concept, philosophy, vision, mission, marketing plan and products, it gave myself and my husband confidence to run this Direct Selling business. DXN entrepreneurs need to be an enforcer for themselves. I strongly believe in this business concept: Learn to be Leaders, Leaders create Leaders, Leaders create Business.
Together with Kumpulan Al-Qamah, I always work hard to achieve success. I always follow the 5M Principle to serve my Distributors, especially my customers and I always share my knowledge with those who want to be successful and advise them to never ever hope that knowledge will come to them by itself. We have to go and find knowledge that can help us to achieve success.
By joining DXN, I am now free to spend. However, no matter how much I spend, I always make sure that my spending does not exceed what I earn. With DXN's income, I can afford to take my family for holidays almost every month. Working while traveling, this is called DXN's holiday, SUPERB!!! With DXN, every year I have the opportunity to travel abroad and get the chance to meet up with overseas Leaders.
Every success has its own secret. I am always physically, mentally and spiritually ready in whatever I do. I work hard without feeling bored. I never give up no matter what hardships I might face. Most importantly, I always make it a point to learn from my mistakes.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the CEO of DXN, Datuk Lim Siow Jin and his wife, Datin Leong, Kumpulan Al-Qamah, DXN's local and overseas distributors, DXN's staff and especially Gold Crown Diamond En. Lee Gee Kow and his wife, Mdm Sim Poh Meng, that have given me countless support and encouragement.
Good Health, my parents, my kids and Kumpulan Al-Qamah are our main assets.
One Hope, One Mission, One Goal in DXN.
See you at the Top!!!
Working hard with the help of uplines and the company, together with other network leaders
I originated from a small village and my family earned a living as farmers. After completing SPM, I started a small business selling newspaper, sweets and fruits. After that, I applied for a job working as a government servant and I drew a monthly salary of merely RM180. In order to earn additional income, I sold clothing and kitchen utensils on credit terms and I also collected empty bottles, used gunnies, as well as used cardboard boxes to be sold off for additional income.
I had been introduced to direct selling business before and with all the hard work for almost a year, I managed to earn an income of RM4000 a month. I owned a house and a car, which were loaned from the bank. Unfortunately, I faced a downfall in my business and no longer had the assets. With 3 children who were still in school, I decided to sell vegetables and work as a gardener to support my family.
Initially I started DXN business on a part time basis, and at the same time I was learning from the successful leaders and their experiences in this business. I also participated in various trainings that the company had organised. With this, I managed to achieve the status of Star Pearl in year 1998, Gold Diamond in year 2002 and finally, Crown Diamond in year 2005.
My achievements are based on “Working hard with the help of uplines and the company, together with other network leaders” and with the concept of “Working Together, Sharing Together and Succeeding Together”.
Besides, I am able to buy assets like land, house and my dream car, a Mercedes Benz while having all my old debts settled. Now, I am able to plan for overseas trips because I am financially stable. I wish to extend my gratitude to my upline, Mr. Abdul Ghani Ramli, the management, leaders and not forgetting my family who have provided me with lots of support.
Till then, - See You at The Top!
“The greatest challenge that needs to be faced in whatever situation is our very own negative attitude. When you strive to improve yourself, you will be challenged by the most influential part of yourself - YOUR ATTITUDE” an advice from CD Fisal Johar.
According to him, there is no specific recipe to be successful in DXN direct sales, having continual effort without giving up, possessing will power and fixing clear goals will ensure that you get what you want. Those who are successful in the direct sales have all started from the bottom, they have succeeded because they have all gone through the process of learning, listening and following steps that will bring them to continual success and they have the will power to change their lives to become better and happier.
“Do not sacrifice the things that are really important to you when you are defending something that is less important”
DXN Direct Sales really proves in giving a lucrative pay. If you do it diligently and able to withstand any challenges, you will definitely excel. Make early and careful plans before embarking on your effort. Always work within the limits set. Continue to learn and strive to be an compassionate listener and follow all the training activities and programmes organised by the Company and leaders. Do not doubt your own potential... Do not wait till it is perfect… Do it now… all the 4M activities and prayers are important. Do pray for others too... surely success would be yours to own. If you carry out your activities well, God will help you find you way…
I am thankful to God for the existence of DXN Marketing, founded by Datuk Lim Siow Jin. He has made it a career for us with lots of potential to be successful. There are the family Health Opportunity and Charitable Opportunity to help people to be healthy and free from financial problems.
Thank you Datuk Lim Siow Jin and fellow Colleagues of DXN in the whole of Malaysia, my Sponsor CD Amran Bin Hj Tik who has introduced this wonderful DXN Business opportunity to me. And thank you, my children, Dad and Mum, Mum in- law and all family members who have been praying hard for my success. Not forgetting, all my business partners and DXN families all over the world who are directly or indirectly wishing me success.
Be with DXN. Once DXN, forever DXN
Before joining DXN, I was working as a bank officer for 15 years without any dream and objective in life. Since I got involved in DXN business, my life has changed and thus led me to achieve my goal to be a successful businessman. DXN business has not only elevated our health but also provided luxury and comfort for us. An incentive trip worth as much as RM7, 000 has motivated me to work hard to strive for excellence.
I have experienced many obstacles and contempt when I started my business with DXN. However to be a successful person, it is not easy because you will face all kinds of challenges. By putting in a lot of effort and having a very strong commitment to activate my dream and goals, nothing can stop me from being here today.
I used to work very closely with my downlines. I organised home parties, weekly meetings, sales trainings and product trainings from time to time. As a result, I managed to achieve the status of Star Diamond (SD) within 14 months.
I am very proud today because I am now being recognised as a Crown Diamond. The activities that I have carried out have helped me to reach this top position, and I also look forward to help other DXN entrepreneurs as well to succeed and reach this level.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my upline who has introduced this remarkable business to me. I would also like to thank my wife, children and all my friends who have motivated and supported me all this while, who have also bear with me while I worked hard to strive for this excellence.
Be with DXN. Once DXN, forever DXN.
Commitment and involvement are two words that I deemed important and always keep me motivated.
Knowledge and experience are necessary to excel in DXN and fulfill my dreams. Thus, I decided to learn more through my upline SCD Mr. Lee Gee Kow and Mrs. Sim Poh Meng. Through their dedication and guidance I became committed and involved to learn and do more. I came to know more about the company profile, product knowledge, marketing plan and the system. I was very confident that I could achieve what I want.
Direct Selling would basically mean selling, sponsoring, servicing and meeting. They are the basic tools in order to achieve one’s goals. I get involved in all the meetings, trainings, seminars, rallies, farm visit and conventions organized by DXN. Being an upline, I share and echo to my down lines by conducting house and Stockiest meetings from time to time. I have the strong desire and positive attitude to achieve my goals.
Direct Selling is duplication. I always keep my spirits high and strongly motivated. I want to set good examples to my down lines thus I only impart and do positive things toward them. I also personally spend my time to sit and talk to my group members who are really interested in improving their health and wealth. I will get their commitment and make them actively involve in the system and I worked with them.
Direct Selling is teamwork. We share our ideas and work together. I conduct leaders and group meetings to update them latest information and general knowledge about DXN. Setbacks and downfalls are inevitable. However, we must not give up our perseverance to work towards our common goals. Problems make you think and improve your skills. We must remember that we do solve problems but not create one. Positive people see opportunity in every problem.
Thought + Belief + Action = SUCCESS
I want + I can + I do it = SUCCESS
Today I am enjoying a healthy life, a better house, a new car and a better education for my children. This would not be possible without DXN. Who would've thought that once a sickly and a hopeless man become a healthy and a man with full of hopes and dreams?
I would also like to thank God, CEO of DXN Datuk Lim Siow Jin, all Staff of DXN Marketing, effective DXN products, simple marketing plan, EDC, my upline SCDs Mr. Lee Gee Kow and Mrs. Sim Poh Meng for their hard work, dedication and guidance, my sponsor ESD En. Yahaya B. Su, as well as my GSM DXN NETWORK members for their continuous support and cooperation to achieve my goals. Even though I achieve my personal goals I am still half way to Crown Ambassador in DXN, I have to dedicate and guide my group members to achieve their success.
Last but not least I thank my wife Crown Diamond Susila Narayanan and four children who have given me moral support, sacrifice, time and effort that have contributed to my success in DXN in one way or another.
See you all at the top. Thank You.
We can always duplicate the knowledge gained and continue to work hard
Everyone has a dream in life and the same applies to me. I came from an average family. Looking at my schoolmates who went to school by motorbikes and cars, with good clothing and enough pocket money made me felt financially incomparable. I wished that one day I would be rich and own a big house, a luxury car and have a happy family.
Earning a moderate income as a teacher, I knew my dreams would not be achieved. I thank God Almighty as he has opened the horizons for me to be involved in DXN business. Not forgetting my upline, the late MR. RAMLAN BIN HASHIM and all DXN entrepreneurs who have given me this wonderful opportunity and guidance all this while. My special appreciation to Datuk Lim Siow Jin who has produced such an excellent range of products and formed a well established company. Within 2 years, I started to earn quite good income and owned a luxury car with a house that I have desired all this while. Besides that, I also have a mini garden and small fish pond with waterfall in my house to beautify the surroundings. I managed to live happily with my loving wife, and my eight children.
Here I wish to share my secret hoping that this will benefit someone. Always ask to yourself, “What will happen tomorrow, should I still remain the same?”. Do something now: .
1. Get to know all the products and conduct the '4M' activities. 2. We must always set the objective in our mindset in order to achieve the dream we want 3. We must always build the confidence to ensure that this dream becomes possible 4. We must always stimulate, persuade and pressure ourselves to do all we can to ensure that our dreams come true
We can always duplicate the knowledge gained and continue to work hard. Always worship to god so that we will not give up easily when facing whatsoever obstacles. Continue your battle!… 'See you at the top!'
From the very beginning, engaging in the DXN business was just one of the revenues to solve my financial problem. I had never thought that I could run the business so well that I could earn a substantial income and solve my financial problems. Since then, I have forged ahead to overcome challenges and I gained successful achievements one by one in this fantastic business platform. We are grateful to Allah for bringing DXN into our life and giving us a bright future.
Thanks to Allah, DXN has changed our life. We pay more attention to our health, lead a warm life and live happily. Furthermore, there is no longer any financial distress and we have achieved the chance to travel for free within the country and overseas.
Unfortunately my husband passed away two years ago. The good news is DXN is still with us. We continue to be entitled for all the benefits my husband left us in DXN and can lead a comfortable life. Thanks to Allah, thanks to DXN!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the founder of DXN, Datuk Lim Siow Jin, Crown Ambassador Lee Gee Kow and Sim Poh Meng, as well as all the partners in our network. It is with all your full support that has made me successful today. May God give you all the best rewards.
Finally, thanks to Allah, give praise to Allah, Amin.
Good Morning DXN,
My name is Jamal Almassadi Abu Anasi, from Yemen. I worked in Abu Dhabi, UAE as a policeman, with few thousands Derhams as salary. You know when you are an employee, especially a policeman, more pressure and headache will be loaded in your life. I was an ambitious young man, who kept on thinking all the time on how I can improve my life, especially when I was away from my country and entire family. I am a very simple man, love people and always enjoy sharing my knowledge and life experiences with others.
My journey in DXN started humbly, last 13 years ago, through my cousin, Mr. Ahmad Almasadi, when he travelled from Alshariqa to Abu Dhabi, and he came to my house explaining to me about DXN business and products. Actually, I understood and accepted his explanation, but I did not really believe. But after I started using Ganozhi Toothpaste, my gums were no longer bleeding, and that was when everything changed.
I started to learn more about Ganoderma and all DXN products but still could not accept the idea of doing DXN as a business to generate income. I clearly remember the seminar held in DXN Abu Dhabi by CA Dr. Vasupal from India, who spent more than 10 years teaching student about economics. He never become a millionaire nor his student, until he was introduced to DXN. He managed to achieve success with hundreds of his students and that shocked me. I insisted to meet him after the seminar and asked more regarding his income. When he shared to me, I got so inspired and decided to be successful in DXN and travel with Dr. Vasupal on TSIP to Switzerland.
I achieved the Star Diamond status within 1 year and became the first Arab Star Diamond at that time. I quit my job as a policeman after my bonus became triple my salary. I started doing DXN business full time. I enjoy every moment in DXN. It is a great journey. I learned lots of lessons that changed my life. Due to residency issues, I moved from UAE to stay in Malaysia where no one knew me. I told my mother that all the people here will know me very soon. Alhamdulillah, I have achieved the top rank in DXN which is the “Crown Ambassador” this year.
I am thankful to Allah that DXN was put in my way. Thank you to Datuk Lim for such a great opportunity that has changed the life of people in promoting health, wealth and true happiness. I am also thankful to my great team in more than 60 countries. I have fulfilled my dream to become a Crown Ambassador and financially free man and it is not impossible to get here. You too can do it and the opportunity is up for you to grab. You need to have patience, persistence, and hard work to carry this business seriously, and lead your team to achieve success.
Good morning DXN
My name is Yasir Ahmed. The way I started my DXN journey was definitely an unforgettable experience. It was a tough yet marvelous journey that I would encourage anyone who dreams of achieving success and financial freedom in their life to embark on. I firmly believe that we have the right to call ourselves successful after overcoming the many roadblocks that some may call impossible. It is the secret to every success and the road to an effective long-term achievement. Whenever you're in doubt, use it as a catalyst to bring you to the top. In DXN, success is not defined by ‘I’, but defined as ‘we’ as it requires dynamic teamwork, creativity, and innovation. I'm sure we have all heard of the saying, “teamwork makes the dream work”.
Therefore I would like to focus and give credit and appreciation to my downlines and my upline as we stand today as a family, and thank them for this amazing journey as they have been a wonderful supportive team who embraced their ambition and passion to achieve the unachievable in DXN.
DXN has brought out the best in some of us. I may as well say it made us feel more like a family as alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much, helping each other up as we rise by lifting the society that will create the next generation of DXN leaders. Learning that there is nothing greater than doing something for others, DXN makes success achievable.
And I believe as long as you are determined, you can achieve anything your heart desires. I am incredibly delighted to be guided by someone who is not only skilled and creative to come up with such an amazing idea for a business, but also a fantastic leader, Datuk Dr. Lim Siow Jin. He is not only the creator of DXN but a powerful influence in the lives of so many people, and who has led us and helped me every step of the way in expanding the business and opening my first service center here in Malaysia. I aspire one day to carry on the DXN legacy to the next generation.
DXN has not only shown us what it's like to achieve what you've worked hard for, but has also introduced us to fantastic people who have treated us like family, contributing to making the road to success more exciting and possible. Therefore, I would like to thank all of you for the support, and Inshallah the upcoming trip will be full of joy, success, and happiness.
DXN Number 1!
My name is Pedro Apaza Quispe and I am from Juliaca, San Román, Puno, Peru. I lost my father at the age of 8, and at the age of 12, I had to leave my hometown for Lima, Peru. There used to be 9 of us, but sadly four of my brothers have died. Without my father, my mother became the sole breadwinner, raising all of us. So, I decided to go to Lima so I could work during the day and continue to study at night. While I was in Lima, I worked as a shoeshine boy in Castañeta park. I continued to work as a shoeshine boy until I was called to attend the obligatory military service, where my primary task was also shining boots. After leaving the military service, I studied fashion and learnt about design and started my own textile business in Gamarra Empire Commercial.
I was successful in the textile industry but I worked too much, all day long, with 60 tailors and five stores. My financial situation was never a problem, but it was time and health that was troubling me. Working too hard caused a lot of health problems and I had to go to hospitals and clinics to seek treatment. Doctors had diagnosed me with various types of diseases. Due to this, I was very desperate for help and tried natural products to help improve my health. Sadly the products were of no help in improving my health. One fine day, I found a DXN 3 in 1 coffee sachet and decided to try the drink. I started to feel the positive effects upon drinking the coffee and so on 17th September 2010, I joined DXN.
I was advised to attend DXN's training sessions, but I could not understand the need for it. However, one day, I decided to allocate some of my time to attend a DXN workshop on the Compensation Plan. During the workshop, I was shocked with the numbers that I could be earning by doing the business with DXN and became more interested in the DXN business. I decided to introduce and take DXN products from Lima to Bolivia. After a year of bringing the products to Bolivia, I found a person who was interested and wanted to register to be a DXN distributor. However, in order to register him, I had to go back to Lima as there were no other Service Centers anywhere else except in Lima. A year after that, I applied to start my own Service Center in Juliaca and it was so successful that it was named the best Service Center for 2 years in a row.
We have been expanding the network to all the South American countries and today we have expanded our network to more than 100 countries. It is amazing that the DXN system is simple and wonderful and it promotes total freedom. Thanks to God and Datuk Lim Siow Jin, I am now a DXN Crown Ambassador (CA). I may not have gone to a university to study, but I believe with honesty and experience, I've learnt a lot about the world, and it is all thanks to DXN.
Our goal is to help everyone to have a better understanding of the DXN system. Its trainings and events can serve as a platform for one to share the knowledge on DXN and at the same time to develop one's leadership.
I am now free from problems, diseases and debts. I made a wise decision in joining DXN as it helped change my life. DXN has provided such a good system and products that have changed the life of many. I would like to thank Datuk Lim Siow Jin, the founder and CEO of DXN for such a great system and business, my family for all their prayers and supports, and also to everyone who has believed in me throughout my journey in doing the DXN business. Thank you so much and may God bless you all!
Good morning DXN Family. My name is Epifania Apaza Condori and currently live in Puno, the folkloric capital of Peru, near one of the natural wonders of the world. I met DXN at the most difficult moment of my life when I faced bank debts that exceeded fifty thousand dollars. Looking for solutions, I went through seven MLM systems. Those systems failed to help me with the health and financial problems I had, much less fulfill my needs and dreams. I was looking for something better since my reality was very stressful and problematic, and I only had God to ask, for my two children, for them more than for me, an opportunity, to help me start over.
This is how DXN came into my life. It started with four Lingzhi 2 in 1 coffee sachets. I was curious about how to start when our Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Prajith Pavithran, arrived in Juliaca, whom I remember saying that "In DXN, it was not necessary to invest to earn money. The only thing that is required is human capital”. Understanding that was what motivated me, because I no longer had money, but I knew many people. So I began to recommend it, but at first, not many believed in the way DXN works.
I scheduled trips to Bolivia, wanted to cross borders and despite not having money, thanks to the support of my family, I traveled with 7 bags of Lingzhi 2 in 1 Coffee. I then realised that the Bolivian market is more open. I later decided to return but with 12 bags. Soon, that amount no longer enough to supply me and that is how I began to team up with an affiliate with whom we already had the experience of traveling to Bolivia and affiliated with friends from La Paz. I looked for another group to continue with the trip to Cochabamba and Santa Cruz. And even so, I couldn't stock up on products. It was there that I sought to work as a team with the person who owns the Puno Service Center, who without hesitation said that he could. That motivated me much more to continue with the project; but we find ourselves with the great challenge of carrying more products.
Thanks to God and many brave people who were able to experience the quality of the product for their health, we were able to grow bringing along our experiences and the products to Bolivia, although there were many obstacles and bad experiences. It was important to see that the process does not always went good, it has its own up and down from which you learn, to continue improving.
We continued to carry products and simultaneously the market in Bolivia, continued to grow on scales that even we could not imagine. It was like a trigger that grew exponentially, and for that, we will always be grateful for the enormous support that the leaders in Bolivia gave us.
In 2012, DXN Bolivia was inaugurated. Thank God, by that time I was already getting better and we decided to promote and grow in Peru. It was in the same year that my husband too started his DXN business. We began to travel with our TSI earned and we continued to do so until date.
There were years of much learning, and by 2014 I had a Service Center on the border with Bolivia in Desaguadero, and a second Service Center in San Sebastian, Cuzco. Over time we saw the results and we began to reap the rewards and see dreams come true, every effort has its reward, and always focused on our Company. Today I can say that it was worth going through this process and reaching the rank of Crown Ambassador on July 28, the day of our independence from Peru and National Holidays.
We thank God in the first place, our Executive Chairman & Founder of DXN, Datuk Lim Siow Jin, and his enormous effort in making these products travel the world changing lives, our Management in charge of Mr. Prajith Pavithran and Ms. Evlyne Ng, for their virtue of teaching and motivating, to all the staff in Peru and their incredible dynamic and organization, to my upline sponsor Mr. Rafael Diaz and his enormous unconditional support, to many leaders from different countries who showed me that nothing was needed to get started, my family for being there when I had no one else to turn to, and my big family at DXN for all the support during the hard times and for all the support in the best times.
“Fighting the current seems unlikely when resources are scarce. One can give up in the search for success if obstacles appear in each step taken, as if life does not want you to reach the goal.”
Niel Gustavo Arroe Aguirre, since young age, was clear about money, his dreams and how to achieve them, which is by working hard. However, the way to achieve his goals and enjoy them has made him different from the rest of people in the world. With DXN, Niel understood that this difference was fine, that it was for those who see success quickly in their lives, those who want to fulfill their dreams; the path of winners, with a world renowned and transparent company, backed by 28 years of experience and more than ten million distributors worldwide.
Niel Arroe was persevered for almost eleven years as a pioneer of DXN in Peru, which has earned him the highest rank in DXN, the Crown Ambassador. That perseverance shaped him since young age. He desired to undertake his native Andamarca, Huancayo, however, he never received any type of guidance to start or how to generate income. He learned by helping his cousin to sell jellies, receiving some candies as payment, but it was not enough, so he began to help in the preparation of jellies to learn how to make them himself, to sell them and generate income. He understood the power of the sales force, and asking other children of the village to help him sell his jellies in exchange for some candy.
From a humble origin, a boy who liked to play with some stones and pretend that it were cars and imagine that the soil was the road, the limitation that he had has shaped his childhood and fueled his desire to prosper.
He longed to go further and hope to travel the world. However, his mother’s wish is for him to stay in her village, as he was her only child. His future would continue to be in Andamarca, where he could only become a teacher or a policeman, and keep his family's lands. At the age of twelve, he moved to Tingo María with his uncles, looking for a better future. However, the reality that he found was similar, he had to help milk the cows, distribute milk throughout the town and group the calves. His motivation to continue training as a successful and good man, led him to enlist in the Peru Army until he finished his military career. After that, he continues his life journey in the city of Huánuco to study Law. However, he knew that he was only accumulating degrees to prove he was the best in his family. He realized that studying is good generally, but it is not going to give him the financial freedom he longed for. He knew there must be other opportunity to do business and earn money, so he began to investigate.
His desire for economic freedom led him to try various trades. One of them was being the sales person of imported cars in Pucallpa. While his income was significant, it was a very self-sacrificing and absorbing job. He began to search for smart ways to earn money. It was later that he became acquainted with network marketing.
He was skeptical of the business system. "I saw so many companies collapsed in my country and in other countries." After a meeting where he was presented with a business book "The Money Flow Quadrant", he knew that he must follow the line of a business owner, who uses "a system that is already approved and that works using the leverage of other people”.
Before DXN, he joined around 20 companies, where he learned that several of these companies were either pyramid businesses which require considerable amounts of investment money, or systems that were difficult to achieve. The biggest problem with all of them was that after a while, they collapsed and finally disappeared. Money comes and goes fast, with no long-term benefit.
After many unsuccessful experiences, he looked for a more secure, proper and honest company. In 2009 she met DXN through Rafael Díaz, Miluska Alvarado, Alina Tavara and Maria Lourdes Paja. After researching about DXN, he knew that the company is legitimate, honest, and comprehensive. It has wonderful products, and he thought “this company has to be in Peru”. Thus, that's the beginning of the story and the relationship between Niel and DXN.
The fact that DXN is in number 15 of the best 100 Direct Sales Companies, established in more than 185 countries, has international certifications for its products has given it the prestige of world quality.
DXN began its operations in Peru; officially, on January 18, 2010 as DXN International Peru S.A.C. Niel Arroe and his wife Lisbeth Souza, Rafael Díaz, Alina Tavara, Lourdes Paja and many more Peruvian leaders were the pioneers and founders in bringing the company and the products of this Asian company to the South American country. Before the company was registered in the country, they toured the entire coast, highlands and jungle to introduce DXN's products, delicious and healthy with Ganoderma. The financial income gave Niel motivation, even though the amount was not substantial at that time. His patience paid off for him and DXN in Peru. As DXN Peru consistently held the No. 1 leader in sales worldwide for more than 5 years.
Now, his children are following his footsteps in doing the business. Any family will believe you if you show them results. This is because DXN's business is inheritable. The benefit of DXN in your life is that it’s not a selfish business. Instead, it is a business that you can share, in which you make long lasting friendships and integrate with the family.
"With DXN I am fulfilling my dreams." During his childhood, he used to play with stones, as if they were cars. Those stone cars have now been replaced by real cars. "Now, I have more than 30 cars, as my dream was to have ALL the cars that I like. The ones that I didn't have as a child." In addition, “I am building the house of my dreams, where I have been able to build a pool on the sixth floor, with a panoramic view of a beautiful park. I am also traveling the world. I have been to Dominican Republic, Cuba, Cancun, Dubai, USA, Spain, Mexico and even to Malaysia, where the DXN plantations are. DXN has fulfilled my expectations and resolved my doubts about how to do this network marketing business”. He's excited for the people who trusted him when he offered the project to them, as they now also see the results.
Today, he continues to work and strive with DXN to continue fulfilling more dreams, of his and other leaders’ who follow the path to financial freedom.
“In our organizations, there are many people with dreams, people who trust one. Marketing networks are of leadership. One has to teach by example and all the company information has to be legitimate, honest and transparent towards distributors. I have achieved my great dream of being a Crown Ambassador and I will continue to work hard to help others to reach their goals as well”. “At DXN, I found a perfect, legitimate and upright company. And by being an independent distributor of this company, I was able to fulfill my dreams.”
We are Ramiro Calle and Ana Garcia and we would like to share with you our story. We can say that we have achieved our dreams, we have traveled the world, we have a dream house, our own office, and Service Center, an ecotourism farm, and our own cars. We live freely and are enjoying life with our children and our precious family and today, we are a DXN Crown Ambassador.
My parents had few independent businesses for a long time. My father was a businessman and my mother ran a restaurant. As a child, I traveled a lot with my father for his businesses and he left me with a reflection that marked my future "What it takes for an entrepreneur to achieve financial freedom in 10 years, in a traditional job it would take 30 to 40 years."
With that message in my mind and seeing my mother worked from early morning until night just to pay the rent for the restaurant, house, and raising her children. In the end, both my father's and my mother's businesses went bankrupt. That stage of my life was one of the reasons for me wanting to move forward and give them a better quality of life. That was the time that I found DXN.
During the process and wonderful path in DXN, I met the love of my life, Anita Garcia. I was amazed to see that she had a successful family. They enjoyed DXN's TSI together, thanks to the opportunity provided by DXN. We realized that we have the same vision and same dreams. Therefore, we decided to get married at the JW Marriot and raise a beautiful family.
Anita's success story is full of sacrifices and perseverance just like mine, and in the same way, she managed to overcome the obstacles that came her way.
My wife, Anita, comes from a family of separated parents and four other siblings, of who she is the eldest. She studied Business Administration and worked with a law firm. Thanks to her mother, Martha Izasiga and her uncle, Manuel Yzaziga, she had the opportunity to meet DXN. She decided to take the opportunity with DXN, because she was working more than 12 hours a day. Her credit cards were maxed out, and she had to help with household expenses, and support her family. With the great dream of helping her brothers with the payment of their university studies, she was able to achieve it and it is all thanks to DXN.
At the beginning of her career with DXN, she had to pay for the rental of premises and operating expenses for meetings in the north of Lima with the salary from her traditional job, to grow her organization and give training with the support of her family. When DXN officially opened in January 2010, she resigned from her job and dedicated herself to DXN, obtaining a solid organization and one of the top-selling service centers.
My side of the story, I studied Customs Administration and Foreign Trade. I then continued my study in Medical Visits at the Cayetano Heredia Medical Corporation. That was when I found out about the DXN opportunity. I was studying Law and thanks to DXN I was able to do a Highly Specialized Coach and Leadership diploma at the USIL Postgraduate School.
When I decided to do DXN, I initially had to manage the costs of lodging and food. I had to rent a small room in the province and eat in cheap restaurants and from scratch, I had to start forming my organization in Lima and other provinces with little money, but million dollar attitude. In the beginning, my family, friends, and especially my father did not believe in any network marketing company. For them, doing DXN was a waste of time and something that would not help to make my dreams come true. However, Javier Calle, my uncle, left me a great legacy and taught me that despite the difficult times, you always have to give your best.
Anita and I went through great challenges before and after we met. But today, we are very happy and we have 2 children, Ramiro and Dylan Calle Garcia. They are our greatest motivation to continue and they are very focused in doing the DXN business. We were advancing, building our dreams. It is something special to acquire our apartment, our cars, and the commercial premises of Los Olivos. We have been able to get the house of our dreams of 1300m², with a swimming pool, a garden, a courtyard, a gym, a Jacuzzi, and a sauna.
We also acquired a tourist area of 20,000m² with 4 water sources, where we can enjoy nature.
We always carry in our hearts the words of Datuk Lim Siow Jin, that with DXN, one can enjoy his dream car and house, be a free person and enjoy the time with his loved ones.
I thank God very much for granting DXN in our lives, my family, my children who are my motivation, and the entire organization of my wife and mine that is formed throughout the years. We are already getting close to 2,000,000 monthly PV. Thanks to the leaders who are focus, persevere, committed, determine, we have nearly 1,200 diamonds within the organization from Peru and other countries. I would like also to thank Datuk Lim Siow Jin for being a visionary, who despite the difficulties faced, he was able to change the lives of thousands of people across the world.
I would also thank DXN Peru, Mr. Prajith, Ms. Evlyne, and the entire DXN Peru Staff for the hard work they have been doing over the years.
This is just the beginning and we are going to continue bringing Health, Wealth and Happiness to every home. My aim is to help the leaders in my organization achieve their goals of becoming the next Crown Ambassador.
My name is Edwin Condori Aycaya, I am from the city of Tacna, between the borders with Chile. That’s when I met the DXN family in May 2010 while I was on a vacation to the city of Puno where I have a family. That is where they show me the opportunity, it was my sister and brother-in-law who introduced me to DXN. I remembered that they held a talk where they invited me and shared the arrival of DXN in Peru. The expectations were great as they spoke about the company and what I most rescued from this meeting for me was the exorbitant amounts that they manifested, which caused a great impression to the point that I decided to join DXN the next day. I gave up everything. From being close to my family to the city where I lived and to my traditional job with which I lived in the city of Antofagasta, Chile.
It was the most difficult decision I have ever made in my entire life. If there was something I had to exploit, it was the knowledge and experience I had up to that moment. I was 35 years old and if life had taught me until then, it was that, if one want to achieve his results he had to devote all his efforts to one thing.
I started my work at DXN with 100%, I had all the desire, attitude, and emotion. Within a few days, I began to know DXN. I was passionate for all the advantages that this business system offered me. We began to nurture ourselves with the little information that there was. I still remember that I watched our corporate video over and over again because I wanted to understand the vision of our founder. And I think I have seen that video more than 1000 times because, for me, it was my fuel that motivated me.
So we started going on trips to other cities and other countries where we had no excuses for anything. On the contrary, it was wonderful to meet new people with big dreams with whom we had something in common, to achieve together everything that DXN offered us. After 8 months of hard work without schedules, we were presented with large orders from distributors. There was a hunger for success because the results of the products were surprising and their effectiveness motivated us to be able to do business with great confidence and security.
After 8 months, we decided to do the work with my wife's distributor code because it was the code that was being developed the most to the point that the bonus we received is already surprising. So after 3 years of working, I still remember that I told my wife that I would support her until she became Triple Diamond and that I had a code that I had to work on. So I came back after 3 years to work on my code. I felt so prepared to start from scratch because I had all the knowledge about the marketing plan and the game therapy. I knew how to start increasing the growth of my network, so my greatest strength was getting all the experience from those 3 years.
I felt safe and without fear of being able to develop a structured job. So in the next 3 years, I already achieved the rank of Double Diamond and I understood that the results are obtained, thanks to the great support of the plan and the products. One of the big dreams that I was able to realize was to build a house for my parents where we feel that DXN can fulfill each of our dreams.
Today with great satisfaction I can say that we have our own home which has a wonderful view in front of the highest lake in the world, Titicaca Lake.
I have the honor and responsibility of directing 2 authorized service centers, one in the city of PUNO and the other in the city of LIMA, for which we bought our own facilities for the two service centers and thus, were able to have all the comforts to reflect what DXN really is.
This year, in 2022, we decided to become crown ambassadors on July 28, which is the independence day of our country, and to be able to say that we are free in all the fields that life gives you. So today I want to thank God for allowing me to meet DXN, our Executive Chairman & Founder Datuk Lim Siow Jin, in the place where our mentors Mr. Prajith and Ms. Evelyne who helped us unconditionally in our growth, to all our beloved DXN PERU staff from management to the last worker, and most importantly, thanks to all my team who made all this possible. Thank you DXN PERU.
Nicolas Canazas Rodrigo was born in Puno. He completed his primary and secondary studies in the city of Arequipa. Searching for a work opportunity, he moved to the city of Cusco where he studied for High School in the "Faculty of Business Administration".
Saturnina was born in the district of Huarocondo, Anta province of the city of Cusco. She completed her primary studies in the district of Huarocondo and her secondary at the city of Cusco.
They met in 1985 and entered the university together and graduated in 1995 with a degree in administrative sciences. In 1984, they had their first child named Willer, followed by their second child named Naiy Ruth a few years later, and their youngest, Edgar was born a few years later after Naiy Ruth. With three children, it created greater needs for which they have been able to carry out different activities such as transportation, natural medicine, and others. They were always looking for something better and that was how in 2012, Mr. Manuel Izaziga Rondoy, who was in the traditional work center that they had in the Wanchaq Cusco market, prospected them after a broad explanation and proof of the DXN products.
At first, they did not have any knowledge of the products. They then requested a visit from their sponsor, who gladly visited them and also sent them products from the city of Lima. Thereafter, the first DXN service center was established in the City of Cusco by Mr. Joaquin Curo Casani, which greatly facilitated the prospect and helped many more people in health and the economy.
In compliance with the recommendations of their sponsor, they started their business, carrying the message of health, wealth, and happiness, with all the necessary strength. First, they approach their family members, to whom they explain the products and how to generate points from consuming them. And with their support, after 15 days, they achieved the first-star rank. After 5 months, they achieved Star Diamond, and after 9 years, 10 months and 15 days they became Crown Ambassadors.
For everything stated above, they are very grateful to God. They were also very thankful to Datuk Lim Siow Jin, who is focusing on the health, peace, and prosperity of humanity around the world by created the DXN Company. As a result of their effort and love for the products, the educational system, and the DXN Company, they now achieved success, health, and prosperity. Thank you very much DXN!
Nicolas also retired from his traditional job on December 31, 2020, after working as a public employee for 41 years, 6 months and 15 days.
Stay focus, never stop learning and always attend training.
Some time in December 2000, while Nestor Ymbong was on his way to Cagayan de Oro to deliver firecrackers, his friend, Crown Diamond Jose Tan, had the opportunity to introduce DXN to him, sharing a lot about the benefits of Lingzhi Coffee to one's health.
As a gesture of respect, Nestor signed up with him without thinking that such act would spark an argument with Sylvia, his wife, for the reason that he spent P800 without her consent. Sylvia was sceptical at first, for it was the first time she heard about DXN.
At that time, the couple - had decent jobs that commanded respect from others - Nestor was a broadcaster for 20 years and Sylvia was a manager of a security agency. However, their income was insufficient for their growing family needs.
To earn some more money, the couple thought it was wise to go into some part-time businesses. They did so but failed in the process.
It was in January 23, 2001, during a Trainers´ Training conducted by CD Lulu Santos in Cebu, when they had the chance to see the great opportunity that DXN offered to its members. Right after Sylvia gave birth to their youngest daughter, the couple put in all their effort into DXN business, doing it 'the way it should be done'.
In just seven months, they were promoted to Star Diamond. Nestor noted that the achievement was due to the results of the amazing effects of the products to the people whom they had shared with .
When the bonus cheques that the couple received every month reached eight to 10 times more than what they used to earn from their regular jobs, they committed themselves full-time in DXN.
Despite the fact that Nestor and Sylvia still encounter a lot of rejections from close relatives and friends until today, they never look at that as a problem but rather an opportunity or challenge to work diligently to achieve their goals.
On the other hand, it is also an inspiration for them to see their lines grow and their downliners achieve their dreams too. With this, they wanted to share a sort of 'survival kit' which had helped them to overcome past challenges and achieved the status of a Crown Diamond.
They said, 'Set your heart right. Have the right attitude. Always stay on the right track. Focus, focus, and FOCUS.'
Nestor and Sylvia are very grateful to the Lord for DXN, which they consider as a special gift to their family and also to Datuk Lim Siow Jin for sharing the gift of health and wealth.
'There has never been a better time in our lives than today, and there´s never been a better opportunity than the one offers by DXN. Congratulations to all of you who are part of this company. Our aspiration is that one day, you too, will all become Crown Diamonds and join us in reaping the truly fantastic rewards of life in DXN,' they concluded.
The best way to predict your future is to create it. — Peter Drucker
He grew up with a father working overseas. His mother died of an illness for they can't afford an expensive treatment. Bills are mounting and he feels like everything is conspiring against them. Stax struggled on for those years. Carrying that huge emotional burden is wretched beyond compare. 'It's hard being poor.' Stax Savellano recalls with a sigh. 'It felt like my world was crumbling. Our family was thrown into a cycle of poverty from which we seemingly cannot escape.'
Despite the odds, though, Stax pledged himself to liberate his family from the continuing bondage of poverty. Combining study and work, he did various odd jobs including working as a janitor, postman and waiter. Through all of this, he still ended up graduating from college and landed a good job. 'Having a good job was an honor. I was able to provide my family's basic needs.' Stax beams. However, his income may not had been substantial enough to totally liberate his family from the clutch of poverty, thus he wanted something completely different.
'What I found was a DXN Direct Selling business — a business that gave me just about everything I wanted.' Stax explains. 'It allows me to maximize my time, by working part time without a large initial investment. Most importantly it gave me a way to live my passion of empowering people and to obtain personal freedom of pursuing my passion in sports, spending quality time with my family and friends simultaneously.'
His DXN business was not an overnight success, though, as he had faced numerous challenges along the way. However, under the tutelage of his 'upline' Executive Double Crown Diamond Osler G. Sto Tomas, Stax learned and developed those skills that are necessary to build a solid DXN business foundation. And with the support of his wife Jeilyn, Crown Ambassador Eustaquio 'Stax' Savellano, Jr. rose above his humble beginnings, inspired thousands and became one of the most successful DXN networkers.
'The best way to predict your future is to create it' by Peter Drucker. This is one of Stax's favorite quotations. Perhaps this inspired him to follow his passion and created his success. Everything he achieved has come from tenacity and hard work. To overcome poverty we need to envision a bright future and must take the necessary steps to succeed. We need to imagine the good things in life and work hard to make them happen.
Everyone has a chance to succeed as long as you don´t quit!
Finally, I made it to the top. After five years, I am now a CROWN DIAMOND. I’m also the proud owner of three luxury-imported cars — Toyota Revo GLX, Revo VX 200 and Hilux 4x4. I give thanks and glory to God Almighty for all these blessings that I had received thru DXN. My thanks and appreciation to all my partners Star Diamonds, Star Pearls, Star Rubies, Star Agents and Distributors, for they are part of this achievement; to the whole Management and Staff of DXN Philippines for their unwavering support.
After eleven months with DXN, I achieved the Star Diamond position, and I was recognized as a Triple Diamond because I already have three direct SD distributors under me. And now after more than four years as TD, I finally achieved the highest position here in DXN as Crown Diamond.
During my fifth month, I already experienced some discouragement. Three of my downlines are already SD, while I was just a Star Ruby. There were more discouraging situations, I wanted to quit thinking that DXN business was not for me. However, after some soul searching and intensive analysis, I realised that DXN has the perfect combination of the right products and a realistic marketing plan. Later on, I was able to grasp Datuk Lim’s vision and desire to share the wonderful benefits of Ganoderma Lucidum to the world.
After six months of hard work, I was blessed by the Lord our God and achieved the SD position and received financial freedom. Because of this, I joined Datuk Lim’s mission (to me is a divine mission). That is why I have devoted most of my time in researching and sharing with people the goodness of DXN products by conducting Ganotherapy and Health Sessions weekly. I focus on them, because I know it is the will of God to help people to attain good health and good wealth as He has promised in Jeremiah 29: 11, “for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. This good life is a promise from the Lord. I feel so blessed that through DXN, I am now an instrument in helping people experience this promise. It gives me a sense of fulfillment which I think what Datuk Lim also feels. True to our God’s promise, I also received physical blessing with my own consumption of the products. Though I am already 62 years old, I feel like I am only 27.
I want to encourage everyone not to be disheartened or to quit your DXN business. Even if you feel that nothing is happening to your after all your hard work, just press on. Sometimes when we think that the stone we have is of no value, we would be surprised that as we keep on rubbing it, slowly you would see how radiant, how beautiful that diamond had become. Just like Winston Churchill, his tutors gave up in teaching him because he is a slow learner, yet he became one of the greatest leaders in the world.
Here in DXN, there are no slow learners only late bloomers, there is no such thing as lack of education, but a heart full of dreams, there are no amateurs, but those who are willing to learn the business. Everything here is fair and it is for everyone. EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE TO SUCCEED AS LONG AS YOU DON’T QUIT! Just keep on doing the business, and you will definitely be successful!
She is no stranger to direct selling business. But CD Elena De Guzman’s knowledge and experience in this industry proved her staying power and success over and over again. She is both a successful businessperson and networker. CD Elena was also one of the first DXN members tapped to be Service Center Director in 2000.
Ascending towards the much-coveted Crown Diamond status, she worked hard to parallel the likes of her successful upline Senior Crown Diamond Eric Dumlao. But the implementation of Simplified Marketing Plan left her discouraged when she has to develop more Diamonds than she could hope for. “Isang diamond na lang ang kailangan ko para ako’y maging Crown Diamond.Pero dahil nga sa nasa ibang bansa ako noon, hindi naipaliwanag sa akin ang SIMP, (I needed only one Diamond to become a Crown Diamond. But since I was abroad, SIMP wasn’t explained to me)” CD Elena explains.
Despite being rained down and challenged by this, CD Elena emerged more focus and determined to achieve success. She never let an obstacle hinder her pursuit for greater heights in DXN. She worked hard and more importantly with the help of her son, Service Center Director Denims De Guzman, CD Elena climbed back to the top.
“Sa DXN nakabili ako ngPajero,isangluxury car. At ang pinambayad ko ngamortization y ang buwanan kong kita sa DXN,” CD Elena shares. The strength of her character and integrity has helped in the establishing her as successful businesswoman.
CD Elena has also proved that to run a business, one needs vision and ability to take risks. Truly, as all endings go, this one has a happy ending too.
As a single parent, Crown Diamond Elvira Arquines knew how hard it is to raise seven kids. She has her hands full as it is. But despite the hurdle, she worked hard knowing that the DXN opportunity can get her successful. And nothing has stopped her fierce entrepreneurial venture in DXN.
CD Elvira was a former teacher before doing DXN business full-time. She worked hard for the welfare of her young kids and has struggled to make ends meet. She cites her determination, focus, and commitment to DXN as her tools for success.
“Maraming hadlang noon para hindi ko ituloyang DXN pero naisip kong wala rin naming mangayayari sa buhay ko kung ititigil ko ito, (There were many obstacles before but I thought nothing good will ever come out if I stop doing DXN)” CD Elvira explains. When faced with hardships, the determination to succeed heightens, she says.
Today, as she reached the Crown Diamond status, CD Elvira shares her inspirational story of survival and overcoming defeat. She advises that even though times are tough and unbearable, do not let it stop you from dreaming. “Bigyan niyo lang ng panahon angDXN at bibigyan kayo ng magandang buhay3 to 5 years from now.Kung ang dahilan niyo rin ay wala kayong panahon para gawin angDXN,mas lalo kayong walang magandang buhay3 to 5 years from now, (Give it time and DXN will give you a prosperous life in return)” she says.
Big dreams are not enough to make it in business. Turning dreams into reality takes focus, hard work, and determination. Like CD Elvira Arquines, success is within reach, especially when you dream big with DXN.
How a Working-Student became a Multi-Millionaire
"Cowards never start; the weak never finish; and winners never quit." Markwin L. Lopez, a well-known Filipino wealth educator, international speaker and direct selling guru, became a young multi-millionaire through living by these three sentences.
Born in a less fortunate family, Lopez worked really hard and endured countless sleepless nights, rejections and discouragements, to be where he is now. He started with earning only P500 per week, then became a millionaire when he was 25 years old. And for more than a decade now, Lopez has been earning a 6-digit monthly residual income – with no Bundy clock, without any quota, and without a boss. Now that he’s 37 years old, he owns three cars, a house and lot, and several condominium units because of making money out of his combined passion for good health, direct selling and education. He has also toured across Europe, USA, China, UAE, Egypt, Australia and other Asian countries. His own group named Crown of the Radiant Empire (CORE) is one of the longest and biggest groups from his affiliated direct selling company, DXN International Private, Ltd.
Climbing Up the Ladder
“I don't regret being born poor and I don’t blame my parents for the life we [used to] have. It's an instrument of God. It helped me make people understand their situation today and the bright future ahead of them,” Lopez said. Before being a direct selling expert, Lopez had already proven that he was born to break records, to become victorious and to inspire others with his success. His father died early due to Diabetes so he had no choice but to finance his own education. He served as a janitor in a mall, became a messenger, a service crew in a fast food chain, and a cinema checker – going home around 2a.m. and waking up after a few hours to attend his 7a.m. classes. Due to lack of sleep, his classmates used to laugh at him for being mentally absent in class. Yet, nothing has stopped him from reaching his dreams. He gained a degree in BS Secondary Education and was able to teach high school students in St. James College and New Era High School for a few years.
The Direct Selling Journey
Lopez just started his Master’s degree when he learned about the direct selling business. He realized that he had a big potential in direct selling so he decided to resign from teaching. As the breadwinner, his mom discouraged him from resigning. His friends, colleagues, relatives and co-teachers even mocked him for giving up his job just to focus on direct selling but he didn’t listen to them. He pursued his desire to become financially stable. However, his first attempt at direct selling wasn't successful as it was all about recruiting people and less about selling products. Many got traumatized. People thought they were a scam. During those times, he knew he needed to offer effective products to gain people’s trust. He was thinking of the best products to offer when he remembered his father’s death. It inspired him to study about nutrition and ways to prevent diseases. He studied about alternative-medicines, health, wellness, leadership, and wealth. He equipped himself before returning to direct selling.
“I attended international trainings and seminars under Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Chris Gardner, Robert Kiyosaki, Gerry Robert, Jerome Tan, Peng Joon, Kevin Green, Andrew Matthews, and many more,” Lopez said.
He didn’t quit looking for the direct selling Company that would suit his advocacy. When he found a company that based their earnings fully in the health product movement, he started selling their products and he invited guests to seminars about health and wellness. Due to his sincerity to promote good health and the effectiveness of the products they offered, he was able to keep a pool of loyal customers and was able to establish his own successful group. He has been with the DXN Company for about 14 years now. He became the youngest Crown Ambassador at the age of 37 years old.
To give back and also help others maximize their potential, Lopez regularly conducts seminars and talks (both locally and abroad) about wealth, success, direct selling, leadership, and so much more. Some of the seminars he has spearheaded include Success Simplified Workshop (SSW), Apprehension on Savings & Investment (ASI), Unlock your Maximum Potential (UMP), Infinite Prosperity Mindset (IPM), Outstanding Leadership Training, (OLT), Multiply Sales & Customers (MSAC), Winning Direct Selling Business (WMB), Pursuit Wealth & Happiness (PWH), Self-Building & Empowerment (SBE), Online Marketing Strategy (OMS) and case study of successful people.
He has helped people become millionaires, gain self-confidence, and become successful in the direct selling industry.
"I believe that learning prevents you sliding back and if you think it's expensive then try to be ignorant," Lopez added.
“I believe that free training and lecture have less effect and impact because I believe nobody respects for free. If you want to have a quality training and workshop with a credible trainer, who has an outstanding track record then you must pay the price. Self-growth and development is not cheap. You must invest in it.”
“Being rich or wealthy is not by accident nor by luck. Use your "POWER OF CHOICE,” Lopez said.
“God only sees what’s in your heart and above of everyone.”
“Never bother about what people might say to you. Be always at your peak state. Don’t allow them to drag you down from your principle and mindset or you might end up with them. It’s better to walk alone knowing your goal rather than pleasing everyone but having no direction.”
“Always remember that all the blessings are grace by God. I’m nothing without Him and He gave DXN to me.”
Pray and forgive those people who try to pull you down. God will do the rest,” Markwin concluded.

"DXN, A WAY TO ENJOY LIFE"
In November 1998, my wife and I received a call from a friend in Jakarta, Indonesia, asking us if we wanted to join DXN. At first, we were hesitant because this will be the fourth direct selling business that we will be in. The three (3) previous ones started out well but after several years, they stopped operations. After much consideration, my wife Sri, and I, registered and became DXN members on 12 January 1999, in Jakarta, Indonesia.
DXN was so different when it started in the Philippines. There was no office. Its products, especially Ganoderma, was unknown. At that time, I was suffering from health issues, and needed cleansing products to become healthier. Since taking RGGL regularly, I have become healthier. My testimony made it easier for me to promote DXN products because I myself have experienced its efficacy.
After Datuk Lim improved DXN’s Marketing Plan, through the Simplified Integrated Marketing Plan (SIMP) concept, fitting it to be the only direct selling plan in the world that cannot be duplicated, we then easily got promoted to the position of Crown Ambassador.
In any endeavor, there are always challenges that we need to overcome. The first challenge we encountered, of course, was the capital. Second was sponsoring; even my close friends didn't care. To solve this challenge, we needed to learn more about the business; attend seminars and apply what we learned. We had a goal to sponsor 10 new members per month. Later, we succeeded to gather interested ones into the business. This was the start of our success. Unexpected results began since the year 2000 up to the present. We obtained everything we needed; our own house, cars, and we can even travel to anywhere we want! Like Datuk Lim envisioned for members, we are now financially free.
In spite of many hindrances, we remained loyal to DXN and Datuk Lim Siow Jin. Before establishing DXN in the Philippines, he mentioned to me that he will make Philippines as the starting country to spread DXN to all parts of the world, and his plan became a reality, as shown by the latest statistics, now No. 22 among the worldwide Direct Selling Companies. My advice to leaders is to remain loyal, follow the guidance of Datuk Lim Siow Jin, and focus on the health aspects of your DXN business. For only in helping others achieve better health can you truly experience real success. In this present system of this world, we can say that "DXN is A WAY TO ENJOY LIFE." Yes, we would recommend it to everyone. We would like to express our thanks to Datuk Lim Siow Jin for his resourcefulness and generosity. Most of all, we all give thanks to the "Grand Creator of all, including Ganoderma, Jehovah God."
We joined DXN in March 2000, achieving the status of Crown Ambassador in 2008 and being crowned in 2010.
DXN has contributed so much to our family. With DXN, we were able to send our children to the best schools, and we are able to travel around the world, anytime we want. Most of all, our finances have become stable and sustainable. We have the time freedom and the best thing is we can do our mission to serve more people by elevating and empowering their lives in health, wealth and happiness.
We encourage all to take to your heart our business in DXN. Give your 100% commitment and be devoted to its mission of helping others. Find your WHY and love the people you are serving the business with. Lead with your heart and the success will follow coupled with fulfillment.
Truly, DXN is God's gift to the world. Elevate your business and your community. Most of all, “Love Your Freedom and Embrace your Expansion”.
I am Muhammad Zaman from a small rural area of Tilagang in Pakistan. Not long before, I had an ordinary job and my father used to work as a labour and together, we were merely scraping by. Unfortunately, my mother was suffering from diabetes and also foot infection. She was diagnosed with Gangrene and the doctor advised for her foot to be amputated.
At that difficult moment of my life, a friend of mine, Mr. Syed Naeem Shah recommended me to DXN products. I later became a member of DXN, a company that offers health, wealth and lifestyle. I started giving DXN products to my mother and by the grace of ALLAH, soon after using DXN products, her health is improving.
I was very impressed with DXN's products and its atmosphere. Since then, I never look back and keep on moving. By the grace of ALLAH, I have reached a high rank of Crown Diamond in DXN. I am the first DXN member to achieve this rank in Pakistan. Today I have my own house, car and earning a handsome income to enjoy my life.
I once dreamed to travel around the world and now with DXN, I had visited more than 15 countries. Above all, I am now living a healthier life with my family. I am confident that the vision of DXN's founder & CEO Datuk Lim Siow Jin would give me more opportunities.
Believe in it, act on it and you’ll be where you want to be, put all efforts in DXN business for some years and enjoy your fantastic passive income!
My special thanks to my beloved wife, my family and to the DXN management, because without their support, I could never have achieved so much. There is surely no better platform in providing opportunity to progress, learn and grow other than with DXN.
I am Khorshed Alam, a Bangladeshi expatriate who had come to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia long ago with a head full of dreams. My life had been going on in a slow pace like any other expatriate with a salary-to-salary living style. My dreams were diminishing and my responsibilities were rising day by day. I had been searching in the dark tunnel of life for a ray of hope. In 2006, I saw the sparkling ray of light at the end of the tunnel. That guiding light was emitting from the lighthouse of DXN, which eventually brought me out of the tunnel of agony into the bright valley of prosperity.
DXN had come to my life through one of my friends. I was at first complacent after listening to his explanation about the product and system but when I visited the DXN outlet for the first time, I realized that the potential and value of DXN is much more dynamic than what he had explained. I could see a veritable array of people who hailed from different countries and different cultures across the globe. They were buzzing around with extreme content and amazing positivity. Without a second thought, I immediately registered as a DXN Member.
Since then, the 9 Golden Digits of my Membership ID have been constantly enriching my life with abundant prosperity and astonishing improvement. Recently, I achieved the dream target of becoming a DXN Crown Ambassador. I am thankful to my Upline who had shown me the way and my Downlines who are my strength. Achieving the ultimate status of Crown Ambassador had made me more responsible now to spread the message of DXN to more and more individuals. Hence I continue this blessed mission of transforming personalities across the Globe with more energy and enthusiasm.
13 years back on a summer day in June, under the scorching desert sun, I headed to a workshop to repair my car. And that turned out to be a life changing moment which in turn had enabled me to improve my life.
Life was tough. I was struggling to make the ends meet. I left my home country, Yemen, and move to Saudi Arabia. I played many roles, enacted many scripts, but all were in vain. Life was not even near to how I expected it to be. I had a family to look after. I had long cherished dreams which were about to be expired, dumped in a dark corner of my mind. Days and nights passed with no change to my life. Like most of us, I was also the captain of a small ship called “my family” which was rocking without direction in the strange tides and roaring storms of life.
Brothers and Sisters of my DXN Family, my name is Abdul Khalik. I am from Yemen and living in Saudi Arabia now. Doing sale is my passion and the only thing that I knew. I don’t remember how many things I have sold to make a living. Though it is rewarding, at times, doing sale is the toughest job to do. And at times, you get lost in the midst of the journey and lose your inner motivation.
I used to sell watches in Saudi Arabia to make my ends meet. A country where you will see more number of watch sellers than the number of watches. The competition was tough. At the same time, I was also facing the storm and fighting the tides for my family especially for my kids. Bad luck always comes in pairs. Apart from my financial issues, I suffered from health problems as well. That’s quite normal. When you are stressed out, your body gets weaker and weaker.
One day, fortunately my car was broken. No. It was not a mistake. I have written it correctly and you have read it correctly too. I deliberately wrote “fortunately”. For other people, broken car could be a depressing moment. But for me, that broken car was the most fortunate thing that have ever happened in my life.
I met my good old friend, Saud Al Magrabi in that garage. Garage is a place where you get more time to talk with strangers as you don’t have anything else to do but to kill the time. It would add more colour if you happen to meet your friend at the garage. It has been long since we last met. I could see that he was in his full spirit, with joy and excitement on his face. Especially when he explained to me about a new set of products in town. That was the first time I had heard of those 3 golden letters of D X N. A life changing moment cannot be detected live but when you look back, you can see that it was the moment that you had been searching all throughout your life. I can see my potential with DXN as soon as my friend explained about the opportunity. But the skeptic inside me had pulled my mind back and advised me to know more. I had visited the office of DXN and attended the seminar by Mr. Abdalla Ibrahim Abdalla. The negative thoughts inside of me were knocked down by the motivating punches by the speaker. I did not understand anything about the scientific facts of the products. Everything were Greek and Latin for me. But I did understand the four major points delivered:
From that moment of realization until now, I am in an exciting joy ride of DXN. I could regain back my health. I have helped many people across the world by providing them with DXN opportunity as how my friend Saud has done to me. In the process, I could earn as much as I wished to earn. In DXN, there’s no limit. You can earn what you yearn.
Today, when I hold the most coveted title of DXN Crown Ambassador, I am feeling proud, and at the same time, I am still being content and humble. The Almighty had bestowed me with the golden string of DXN to protect me and prosper me. Now it’s my turn to give back to the system. I am very thankful to Datuk Lim Siow Jin for crafting the best system in the world and I am feeling thankful to the Management for preserving it properly. Huge gratitude goes to all my team members who are my strength. Now it is time to continue my journey of helping others with more passion and aggressiveness.
There is a saying “Opportunity knocks only once”. If you have read this story and you are still not in DXN, this is the knock of the opportunity. Grab the door, open it widely and get into this wonderful life changing opportunity called DXN.
I graduated as an electrical engineer and worked in a government sector. After a few years I was promoted as a director of an engineering safety project.
Salary was limited, while my dreams were big. Some contractors offered me money in exchange for approving some bad specifications. I had two options, either to accept dirty money or to refuse and live in poverty.
It was a great psychological struggle, both options are very difficult, I will neither accept unlawful money, nor will I accept to live in poverty with my family.
I thought outside of the box and found an opportunity to work outside my country. I then traveled to Dubai and started my engineering career, but the job and its salary did not allow me to achieve my big dreams; because the salary of a job, will not bring wealth.
In Dubai, the opportunity to know new things was better. My colleague told me about part-time work through direct selling. I saw that my dreams began to come true.
I started my journey with one direct selling company and I learned many things about the direct selling industry and worked hard. But one morning, after a year of working hard, I read in a newspaper that the company was closed as it was illegal. And once again, my dreams shattered.
I have to look for a valid direct selling company, that was the first task.
I started searching according to global standard in order to choose the right direct selling company that I will stick to in order to achieve wealth.
I was discussing solutions with some of my friends in the closed company, when my friend, Fatemi Ghani, whispered to my ears: I found the right company, it's DXN.
Next day, on 12 May 2003 I signed up with DXN and started my new journey while my big dreams were flying in front of me.
I was one of the first Arab members of DXN. I faced big difficulties and challenges, I contributed effectively to establish DXN's market in the Middle East. I contributed to translate the company's literature, presentations and training programs into Arabic.
I started to build my team and provide lectures and training, and travel from one city to another, and from one country to another, providing hundreds of training programs and lectures in many countries in the Middle East and also in the world in both Arabic and English.
I started applying what I learned, and focused on making leaders in my team, and I was not stingy with my knowledge. I provided the learning and training opportunities to everyone from all networks, not just to my team. And slowly afterwards, good results started to yield.
I was not 100% ready to leave the job, but when I was asked to move to a consulting agency to work as an engineering consultant for government businesses, I found the opportunity to leave the job and devote myself to DXN business full time. The income that I received from doing DXN business full time is greater than what I earned when I was an engineer.
After leaving my full time job, there is no job that restricts you, no manager who controls you, and no limited salary received at the end of the month. I have more time for my family, found the opportunity to travel and explore the world and spend wonderful time with my team members in different countries. And I will continue to spread goodness to the world through this business, the work that I really liked.
My team members now have reached 860,000 members in 200 countries, with more than 1300 of them are Star Diamonds.
Everyone can be successful in DXN.
See you at the top in DXN.
Peace, mercy and blessings of ALLAH be upon you,
In the name of ALLAH, with which we seek help and strength.
I am, Sheikha Bint Turki Al-Amri, a wife and an office employee, one of the active users of the social network platforms (Snapchat and Instagram).
I joined the world of DXN in the early 2016, after one of my followers in Snapchat strongly insisted that I should join. She is currently my direct sponsor in DXN. Her name is Ms Fatima Al-Qahtani. She knew very well that I will be an active DXN member beca use of my great interest in the world of health and alternative medicine.
In the beginning, I hesitated, but with research, reading, consulting, and guidance-seeking prayer, I became deeply convinced that this business will work. I then registered as a DXN member and started consuming DXN products that I found to be very good for health, which have encouraged me to consume more of its products.
I joined some WhatsApp groups of DXN leaders to learn more about DXN. Gradually, with ALLAH’s grace, I started to form my own team by getting some members registered under my distributor code. I began to convince my own family members and relatives, who rejected the idea of joining DXN in the beginning until they saw how my health improves after consuming DXN products. Then I turned to introduce DXN to my neighbors, my friends, my colleagues, my followers in the social network platforms, and suitable prospects that I met on a daily basis.
My monthly commissions with DXN began to grow and rise, with the grace of ALLAH. Hence, I realized that the business is real and tangible, which have made me learn more and in depth about DXN as a business. I am very thankful to Ms Om Moad, a DXN Leader, for her explanation and clarification on the concept of DXN's marketing plan, and also to Mr Ahmed Al-Masadi, Mr Hamza Al-Balushi and many more leaders for sharing their knowledge.
Here, I found the real project of my life, that I have always looked to work on, which is the main idea and mission of DXN, health and wealth. After less than a year, all praise to ALLAH, I have achieved the status of Star Diamond, and at the same time I was employed, holding a good post. Ironically, the commission that I received from DXN was much bigger than my salary! Not only that, I and my husband were qualified for the free international trips that were rewarded by DXN to the qualified members.
All these successes of mine are with the help of Allah, my parents' prayers and the supports from my husband and also my brother. Their supports in my DXN journey were so considerable. Because of them, my DXN team started to grow and spread globally bearing the same DXN idea and goal of health and wealth.
My only goal is to improve the health of the community and then to improve their financial, by promoting the concept of proper nutrition and highlighting the benefits of DXN products so that they will get the grasp of the importance of DXN products in their daily life. Members were also enlightened on good food and consumption pattern until they adopt DXN products as a lifestyle, and thus, the consumption principle is being brought together with the investment.
After two years of establishing a strong health and building a large fan base, by the grace of ALLAH, I started focusing on creating more female leaders within my team and focusing on the distinguished ones who showed leadership. I properly and professionally trained them using training programs, workshops and online training courses, either through direct face-to-face lectures, or through online platforms like ZOOM. As a result to the moral and emotional support that I always gave them, they succeed and form other teams and working groups for consumption and investment, and began to climb and reap the fruits of their hard work.
With the help of Allah and the supports received from my family, friends and team members, I have achieved the status of Crown Ambassador in 2020.
Behind this success was ALLAH's help and also my continuous efforts,
Thanks to ALLAH, the most generous and the most helpful.
I joined DXN around two and half years back. The respected Ms. Fatima Al-Qahtani is the one who introduced the company to me and convinced me to join.
At the beginning, I hesitated to join because I am already a businesswoman myself and is always busy and have no time to focus on any other jobs.
After a year of insistence and persistence to join, I consulted my husband who did his research and investigations on DXN. After thorough check, he allowed me to join DXN.
When I first joined DXN, I decided to give the products a try before letting my family to use them. After experiencing the benefits from the products, I then let my husband and children to try, after ensuring that the products are good and effective for the health.
After three months of trying the products, I was ready to start my business with DXN and to carry out its marketing plan. I started talking enthusiastically about DXN as a real project. Soon, a great interest for the products was developed among my fans, as I have a large fan-base exceeding one million people, that I built for almost 7 years.
I spent a lot of time and effort to train my team, because the idea from the company’s marketing plan was new to them, let alone the wrong Information campaigns against the company disseminated at that time through media, which caused a considerable confusion among many members at that time.
Nevertheless, no obstacles stopped me from continuing to head towards my strong and overwhelming desire to reach my goal (the Crown Ambassador status) that I dreamed of every day and night.
All thanks to God in the first place for His blessings granted to me, that has enabled me to constantly stay devoted with my effort that managed to make me to achieve the highest bonuses a member could achieve in a short period of time. I have made a copious amount of money before completing my first year after joining DXN.
Behind this success, there are times of hardships and moments of despair. However, my enthusiasm, activeness and energy have always been renewed.
Today, after becoming the fastest Crown Ambassador in DXN, I would like to express my deep and profound gratefulness to Ms. Fatima Al-Qahtani, the wonderful person, and also to my dear friend Rokayya Al-Sheikh.
My special and heartfelt thanks to my dear husband, Dr. Ali Al-Zahrani, who has been and still giving me a lot of physical, emotional and psychological support whenever I need, which is the main factor that has helped me to achieve this incredible success. I am very thankful to my dear children: Omar, Abdullah, Saja, and Saud who have been my source of strength in my journey to achieve the status of Crown Ambassador. With God's help, I pray that all my family and team members will achieve the status of Crown Ambassador too in the future.
My advice to every DXN member is: history will continue to act as a witness. I regret for every minute that I have wasted, as I could have achieved the status of Crown Ambassador earlier. Therefore, do not waste any more time.
I would like to thank Mr. Suleiman Abo Himid, Main Stockist in DXN Saudi Arabia, for facilitating with DXN business to all DXN members in Saudi Arabia. Mr. Suleiman preserves members’ rights and always ensures that DXN products are not running out of stock. He maintains development in all DXN branches in Saudi Arabia, and he has a wonderful staff.
I would also like to thank DXN Middle East Management represented by Mr. Saleem, Mr. Sheby, and Mr. Sebastian who have been a major impact on my success.
I also wanted to express my gratitude to Dr. Hasan Al-Katheeri who has always been a father, an instructor and a guide, not only to me, but also to all DXN members of the Middle East in particular and the world in general.
Good Morning DXN！
My name is Sophon Thasara. I am a former general manager in Yala Honda Car Co. Ltd. It is my 11th year in doing DXN business (full time) as a TCD (with 16 SDs). My confidence in the products and marketing plan as well as my hard work led to my success. My slogan is work hard, be tolerant of others, be sincere and no matter what problem occurs, always keep a smile on your face.
I would like to send my appreciation to Datuk Lim Siow Jin, DXN's founder who has made this company renown worldwide. Thank you Ms. Chonlada Vitayakomol, Mr Chatid Puchipakorn, my wife and kids and everyone in my team who is a constant source of support to me. I am lucky that friends trust and believe in me and are willing to do this business with me. One of my friends who had failed in doing other company's Direct Selling business in the past was at first skeptical but changed his mind when I told him “you can do it in DXN for as long as you work hard, you will never fail in DXN”.
Mr Krittison Chaisornparama, once said to me “Thank you for helping me, my friend for thanks to you I have become successful in my DXN business.” The phrase “thank you” from my good friend gave me moral support. I am also lucky to have the acquaintance of Professor Sorawat Karnhavak, who has gained my respect in his technical training of using the 4439 system.
4 is product, learning, pass on knowledge, training to be expert. 4 is advice members, planning seminar, visit the factory/corporate. 3 is 3 months timeline. 9 is amount of members (1 person per 10 days).
For the year 2012, the Taksin Diamond Group has planned a system to help new team members in doing business successfully. We will educate you on the DXN business structure and trust us, you would not be disappointed. For other members, I believe that if you do your best, success will certainly be yours.
I am proud to be doing DXN business where I can earn a high income and travel to many countries. I have opened a Service Center “Thasatat Diamond Group” at Natawee and Hadyai.
This year, 2012, I am proud to proclaim that I will be the first “CA” in Thailand . My target is to create 10 CAs. I know that if I can do it, I believe that my downlines can do it too.
KEEP STEPPING FORWARD AND BE PERSISTENT
Good morning, all DXN members. Before joining DXN, my family and I operated a garment business in Rayong for 25 years. The economic crisis in 1998 had left me a total debt of over 10 million baht. However, at the same time, my Malaysian friend introduced DXN to me. I asked him about its reputation. He replied that DXN has very good reputation in Malaysia and the region and has its own farm and manufacturing sites. I decided to visit DXN farm in Malaysia before joining DXN business. When I saw its advance technology with ISO, GMP, and TGA standard including its effective marketing plan, I immediately started DXN business with my first investment of 740 baht for a life-time membership.
During that period, with the health concern trend, I could build up my network and be promoted to SR within a month with a commission income of 50,000 baht/month. My commissions for the second and third months were increased to 80,000 baht and 100,000 baht respectively. I was the first member in Thailand who was promoted to SD within 6 months with an income over 300,000 baht. I planned to clear off my debt of 10 million baht within 3 years and I finally did it.
Many people tried to recruit me to other businesses but I declined. My concept of working is to consider a company in term of its stability, marketing plan, the quality of the products and their reasonable prices. There is an answer for every question in DXN. My success is not an accident but due to my persistence. To introduce a business to anyone is not only to get a contact and some orders. Many times. we may be rejected, but we must not be discouraged. Such rejections should be used to reflect what is wrong with our performance and what should we improve on.
My objective in this DXN business is to lead everyone to success.
Good Morning all DXN members.
I have become successful today because of all the hard work I have done; with a strong desire to succeed and devoting myself to DXN. Before coming to know the DXN Company, I had joined many other Direct Selling Companies before 1992 but I stopped doing business with them after that. In 2001, I studied about the DXN Company and started working full time doing DXN business. Now, I am proud to be a part of the company. Thank you, Datuk Lim Siow Jin who has given us the opportunity to be healthy while doing a lucrative business, which makes DXN unique and distinctive from other Direct Selling Companies.
My first impression of DXN was its products. All of you can see the difference and benefits after using the products. Furthermore, word of mouth from people also shows us how good DXN products are for us.
Second impression is the marketing plan or income that we all receive. It is to encourage us to do business with DXN seriously. It can be our main business and success, but you need to do it constantly.
My Principle of work is 'Industrious - Save - Honest - Patience' and using the technique of 1M +3 S which is (Meeting + Using Products, Advice and Services). I have been using this technique throughout my business and it has proven to be 100% successful, earning myself the position of CD at DXN today.
My family and I have been doing DXN business for the past several years and will continue to do so in the future.
DXN has given me many things, for example, Travelling Rewards, Bonus from worldwide market share, Success, Freedom of wealth, time and health and you all can have these too; 'Make everyday worth it'.
Good morning DXN members.
It has been 16 years since I first started business with DXN. Now I am an Executive Crown Diamond (ECD). I am so happy and proud of all that I have achieved. I tell you that nothing is impossible if we have the determination to do it.
I believe in myself and the company. For me, the DXN Business is a lucrative career because over the past 16 years, DXN has given me a good income. I would like to thank Dr. Sophon Thasara for taking care and helping me in the past 16 years. I would also like to thank Prasit Billratae.
DXN is a stable company with good products and a fair marketing plan. I would like to tell you all not to hesitate to start because my time in the past 16 years in DXN has been really good. I would like to thank Dr. Sophon Thasara once again for starting the CA team, so that we can work together and take care of each other.
Thank you to the entire CA team and on behalf of the CA team from Southern Thailand, we would like to thank our leader, CA Dr. Sophon.
I started the DXN business in 2002 with the feeling that "I’m not ready". I had cash in "thousands" only but with a debt worth "millions". However, I knew that the DXN business had the potential to solve my problems. One thing that I have today is called the "opportunity", something which I believe everyone has, but the question is whether you will use it.
There are three stages in our life. If "opportunity is not coming", we will wait and "wait". When the "opportunity comes", we often let it go. And when the "opportunity is over", we "lose the opportunity". "Opportunity" came to me in the moment when I was "seeking" it. So I grabbed it because I didn't want to "lose the opportunity".
I started the DXN business with the feeling that "I’m not ready” but I always thought that although "we are not ready", why can't we make ourselves ready.
In addition to the "opportunities" or the factors that contributed to my success, I am also grateful and thankful for :
the "goal" that made me cheerful.
the "problem" that made me fight.
the "friction" for giving me skills.
"everyone's encouragement" that made me appreciate my own values.
I have one belief, that in this world no one has never faced a problem. It depends on your "goal" whether you are ready to move on and let it go. For me I have clear goals and I am always ready to reach my goals, so even if I "fall", I'll always rise again. I never change directions because I have my goals, a "set direction" as a guideline, and a "positive attitude".
Today, I have reached one of my goals. It's just the first goal, which proves all my goals are within reach. I'm still moving forward because DXN business allows us to create goals without borders. So far, it has been a happy journey. Thank you everyone, all the groups that have contributed to my success today.
DXN has been a blessing. Prior to, I was in the field of aviation working as an Aeronautical Engineer for over 28 years. The job was fine but there was no time, financial or travel freedom. I entered DXN as a consumer due to the health problems I suffered from for 10 years, and while using the products, realized there was more to DXN than health benefits through the DXN successful entrepreneurs whom I met along the way.
From working for someone and having a boss to becoming my own boss was a wonderful transformation. And that was the start of my journey to personal freedom.
Now, 9 ½ years later, my life has completely changed, all praise is due to Allah who has bestowed me with such blessings. Many people ask me about my secret to success. It is difficult to state all the factors, but all success is an outcome of overcoming challenges. Still, there are a few points worth mentioning, such as:
1. CHANGE - First I had to change my mindset to that of an entrepreneur. It took me awhile to transform my thinking because all my life I had been working for someone. Suddenly, I had to take charge of my new life as well as the lives of many who were joining me as business partners.
2. GOAL SETTING - After few months of joining DXN in 2003, I decided to do the business seriously. I made my goal to earn what I was earning from my salary. In 2 years time and by the grace of Allah and my team, I did achieve my goal. In 2005 I further decided to quit from my job in 2 years. In 2007, from a part timer, I became full timer networker. Since then I kept raising my bar and enjoyed each and every moment of my DXN journey. Right now my greatest joy is helping people to make their goals and achieve their goals.
3. EDUCATION - Being a new entrepreneur, meant educating myself in Food and Nutrition , as well as the Direct Selling Industry. The former was easy; I learnt the ABC’s of nutrition through various trainers in DXN, my own son, Janbaaz Ghani, who is a professional nutritionist from UBC in Vancouver, and I gained my certification in Food and Nutrition from IGNOU(Indira Gandhi National Open University).
In order to become a professional in Direct Selling, I joined Direct Selling Times and Direct Selling Universities. In addition, I attended many seminars, workshops, conferences and boot camps conducted by Direct Selling Gurus, namely, Tom Shreiter, Jerry Clark, John Di Lemme, Dr. Charles King, Tim Sales, Brian Klemmer, Dr. Ellie Drake, and many, many more. In addition to the above-mentioned, I enjoy reading books centered on Direct Selling & Personal Growth, gaining insight and knowledge through CDs, DVDs & magazines.
4. APPLICATION - After learning my direct selling business, I immediately applied it all to the field. In order to see the positive result, the application of knowledge was a big challenge but I made sure I evaluated and re-evaluated my success and failure. Every day I try to learn and apply something—for myself and for my partners.
5. BUILDING MY TEAM AND LEADERS - I worked hard to build the right team and few select leaders. Building team was easy but building team leaders was a mammoth task and I am still working on that. Building leaders is a continuous process and this where residual income lies.

6. COACHING AND MENTORING - After nearly 9 years, my focus is now on coaching and mentoring my team members and leaders. The toughest part of the business is understanding people and the closer I get to my leaders, the better I get in my business. Because our business product in DXN is not Reishi or Spirulina but people.
7. GOING GLOBAL - Now that DXN is spread in all the 6 continents, going beyond your own border is much easier. Expanding the business in different countries allowed me to have a bigger and stable dividend. The best part of DXN is either you open new country or see one of your team members from other countries. Go global.
8. TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD - It was my dream like most of the people to see the world. DXN gave me the opportunity to be part of International Travel Incentive Program. I was fortunate to see exotic Malaysia, Nepal, India, Singapore & Hong Kong; historical & rich Italy, UK, Belgium, France, Holland and Switzerland.
9. MOTIVATION - The Direct Selling business revolves around motivation. My motivation is the success of many leaders. In addition the training I conduct globally to see more leaders made. In 2012 my involvement with the Night Blindness Project in Pakistan had been my new driving force where I have seen many blind children re-obtaining their vision. http://www.fatemighani.blogspot.com/2012/05/helping-night-blind-children.php

10. GRATITUDE - I am grateful to Datuk Lim Siow Jin, who has provided the world with beneficial products and a powerful and do-able marketing plan, the DXN staff for continuous support, and each and every one of my dedicated team members and leaders. Last but not the least; I am grateful to my wife and children who have been behind the sacrifice and success.
My message to all: Motivation comes within; nobody can motivate you but yourself.
God bless DXN, God bless you all.
My DXN Family
Before I joined DXN business, I worked in the UAE Petroleum Industry as a Senior Marketing Engineer for eleven years. But the job did not give me much satisfaction due to the uncertainty in the industry and it was the main reason for me to look for an alternative that could serve as a back up to support myself and at the same time to fulfill my dream.
The beginning of my journey with DXN is a humble one. It was not difficult to work with DXN which is a company that is product based, result oriented and has a global system as even an average person can follow the system easily and head their way on their journey to fulfill their dream. My business network has now spread to over 20 countries with more than half a million consumers.
The support that I had been receiving from my wife was the key to my consistency and what drove me to decide to quit my profession in the Petroleum industry in 2005 and continue my journey to achieve my dream with DXN, one of the fastest growing direct selling company in the world. The DXN system has allowed us to be free from the job that has been killing our dreams and creativity. With DXN, we were able to enjoy a stress free life, and chances to travel and have fun and the same time still able to earn decent income. The principles that I have been adhering to throughout the time, have enabled me to help more people from all walks of life to enjoy their dream life that is not only filled with prosperity but also of lasting happiness.
I would like to extend my gratitude to Datuk Lim Siow Jin and I am very grateful for his noble and holistic concept in helping millions of people across the globe and to lead a healthy and wealthy life.
DXN came to my life through my life partner; my wife. Initially I was not convinced with the effectiveness of products, but I happened to suggest the products to some of my friends and customers with the intention to help my wife.
Gradually, I started to get very positive feedback about the benefits of products. It had further given me the confidence to choose DXN as a life time business. From the moment of that decision, I have started concentrating on building my business in my country, Kenya and my original home country, Somalia.
As the days passed by, DXN had proved to be a huge potential of source of income for me. So I have started taking the benefits of promoting DXN products in an untapped soil. This had given me a pace to achieve the dream title of DXN Crown Ambassador.
I’m not going to stop here. It is just the beginning. My mission is to spread the positive message of DXN to as many individual as possible, so that my life purpose of transforming the lives of people would be getting accomplished.
I am Dr. Abdulrazzaq Hashim Mohammed Aloujaili, a Ph.D. holder in Preventive Medicine and Immune System Support Techniques from FRANCE - Toulouse University, and an international consultant and trainer in Therapy Medical Techniques In Bioenergy and Chinese Medicine (A Member of the European Union of preventive medicine ).
My story with DXN began as I was searching for natural and organic products to be used. I knew many European and American companies that produced healthy products but I did not like them.
In 2013, I decided to travel from Syria to UAE. At that time, my wife, Nada, was introduced to DXN. She visited the company and started using most of its products. She told me that she had finally found the product that I had been looking for.
On 25 May 2013, I visited DXN Sharjah for the first time. I decided to join DXN and buy its products. I was very happy because I could feel the benefits of the products and discover that the products are good for everyone. At the end of the month, I received my first bonus. Starting from that moment, I knew that the company was the one that I had been looking for as it promotes health, wealth, and happiness.
This marks the beginning of my journey with DXN in UAE. I continued organizing seminars at the DXN branches with my wife, and also Mr. Mahmoud Al-Masry, an engineer, and also other leaders. We have managed to achieve great success in the UAE and Gulf. My team began to grow in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and also in Morocco and Algeria in 2014. We then expanded our business to Iraq and Syria in 2015. In 2016, we expanded further to Turkey, where I built the first Arab team with the support of my wife and Mr. Ammar Arak. We managed to open the first DXN service center in Istanbul and the second service center in Bursa. Our business continues to spread to other countries as well.
My interest in health in DXN has led me to be a businessman with ample experience in marketing. I felt more encouraged to help more people that I met when I went to other countries.
I would like to thank everyone who has helped me in achieving my success, especially our beloved DXN Chairman, Datuk Lim Siow Jin, and also my lovely wife, Nada, who has been with me through thick and thin.
See you at the top in DXN.
My name is Rafael Diaz and I am the First Hispanic Crown Ambassador of America. I have been a DXN member since October 2002 and joined DXN because of my health. Within the first 30 days of using the products, I began to witness amazing results within my body, so since that very moment I haven't stopped promoting health and the excellence of Ganoderma, which is what DXN is all about.
I could write thousands of names and still fall short of the people I have been involved with in this amazing business.
I'm the pioneer of the USA, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Peru and all the Latin America markets including Brazil. Working with a team of Leaders,
I have more than 100 international travels and have made more than dozens of trips within the United States. Every trip I make is at my own expense and done with the
purpose of creating a need for the products and opening markets in that country.
I feel proud and grateful to every single one of my 20 Star Diamonds' team as they were all instrumental in me getting to this level of success and achieving the status of Crown Ambassador. That is one or the major key for achieving success in the Direct Selling business, which is be involved and help your downlines constantly and that's what I do every single day of my life, starting at 6 A.M. when I wake up and begin my workday until 3 A.M. when I go to bed.
Now I am more committed and aim to help all my group leaders and friends to become Crown Ambassadors, so when we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of DXN in Malaysia, it will be an unforgettable day for every single member. I never make excuses to fight for what I want and what I believe in; I let myself flow like the water in the river, always ahead.
Thank you and may blessings and a long life be granted to Datuk Lim, as well as all the Managers and PICs, that have worked with me. See you all in the best places and destinations of the world. The facts and the results confirm my commitment so that my team can move to the next level. | <urn:uuid:9c5eb2df-c936-4cd9-8775-4f3dfe269cbb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.dxn2u.com/success/ | 2023-09-28T17:57:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.9789 | 46,879 |
“In parting, Giscard commented that ‘in diplomacy mistrust is deep-rooted’ and hoped that we could work together to deal with such mistrust by full and frank exchanges.”[i] This scene took place in July 1973, when Valéry Giscard d’Estaing was still French finance minister. More than two years before the November 1975 Rambouillet summit that brought together the American, British, French, Italian, Japanese, and West German leaders as the Group of Six, Giscard’s reflection highlights how deep-rooted the search for “full and frank” exchanges among top-level officials was in the mid-1970s. The role of trust in international relations is widely studied; so too is the role of institutional arrangements fostering trust. Yet the emergence of summitry from the mid-1970s onward is not taken into account as a subject of enquiry in its own right. For instance, Aaron M. Hoffman briefly mentions the creation of the European Council in 1974, but does not delve into its wider meaning in European politics.[ii] The Group of Seven (G7) is largely absent from Andrew H. Kydd’s analysis of trust and mistrust in international relations.[iii] Conversely, if the literature on the two summits offers some development of the theme of trust in these gatherings, its analysis of it is not systematic.[iv] The classic entente between French president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and West German chancellor Helmut Schmidt is of course mentioned. But the fact that the G7 and the European Council encouraged cooperation without trust has not really been explored.
By contrast, this chapter will focus on this dimension. It aims at analyzing the relationship between trust and the emergence of regular, frequent, and increasingly “banal” heads of government meetings.[v] By nature, trust is impermanent, and can be built or destroyed. Quite obviously, trust between individuals such as heads of government is not a given. One defining feature of the mid-1970s was the attempt at creating permanent fora of discussion between these heads of government. Two such fora emerged: the European Council (the meeting of the European Economic Community’s [EEC] heads of government, three times a year and whenever necessary), created in 1974, and the G6/G7 (the meeting of the heads of state or government of the most industrialized countries), which first met in 1975. Interestingly, an important underlying motivation in both cases was the need to create a structure that could maintain and foster trust among Western leaders in times of turmoil. This idea was widely shared by a generation of political leaders who created and developed these summits during the mid-1970s (Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Helmut Schmidt, James Callaghan, and Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter), and remained central for their successors who inherited institutionalized summits in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, François Mitterrand, Helmut Kohl, Bettino Craxi, and Nobuhiko Nakasone). This framework for international cooperation was thus institutionalized and stabilized with a view to create trust both at personal and collective levels.
Based on extensive archival research in British, French, German, and some American archives, this chapter examines how these institutionalized summits served as a tool to foster trust during the Cold War. It argues that these summits tried to foster trust both “internally” and “externally”: summitry aimed at developing not only trust among the leaders, but also crucially trust with regard to the Western (economic) system. These two ambitions—interpersonal and systemic—represented a vital transformation, albeit one imperfectly fulfilled, of the international system in the 1970s and 1980s.

Do You Have Accurate Financial Information?
Organizing and preparing your financial information for the day when you are no longer able to do so will bring peace of mind to you today. This will relieve the burden on your loved ones in the future. Managing your financial situation properly and preserving your legacy will ensure your economic well-being at the end of your life. To make and maintain an accurate list of accounts, passwords, and relevant contact names of financial institutions. To help you understand the scope of the project and start the process of organizing all records and personal information, plans, and books ("My Life Directory," "I'm Dead. Now What?") are available. Whether you are a parent or near retirement, informational instructions will save you and your family a lot of work and heartache.
The assumption is that you already have an estate plan with necessary documents such as a will, living will, durable power of attorney and medical attorney, etc. If this is not the case, retain an attorney to create these most important legal documents. You can then focus your attention on the written steps your family should take if something happens to you. These steps should include a list of all salient information; names (think bankers, lawyers, insurance agents) and their contact information, digital and hard assets, accounts, bills, debts, credit cards, insurance policies, annuities, pensions, PINs, and passwords. Include a list of all companies and invoice types (monthly, quarterly, annually) that automatically debit money from your checking account. This list is about anyone and anything that is part of your financial life.
The numerous books, planners, and online free worksheets can help you identify those things that need inclusion in your financial information; this can be your starting point. Online websites or apps can store your data and instructions for a one time or recurring fee. These sites are typically referred to as estate-planning organizers, end-of-life planners, document storage, even "death apps." While these options may sound intriguing, a self-directed approach is generally best. Turning over consolidated personal financial data opens you to the possibility of identity theft, hacking, misuse of your records, erasure, and loss using these services.
Digitize your information in a word editor or spreadsheet and store it on a flash drive. Print hard copies of your instructions and information and leave them with other important documents like your will or the deed to your home. Are you low-tech? There is no shame in a binder or spiral notebook containing this information. It is a bit more cumbersome to update, but many people choose to leave instructions to family members in handwritten letters, notes, and notebooks. Be certain your handwritten instructions do not vary with multiple papers scattered and undated. Stick to a standard methodology and throw out old documents.
Keep these records accurate with annual updates or any fundamental shift in how your finances are managed and by whom. Be sure your executor and other relevant family members know the location of this information. If you want your wishes to remain private until you are incapacitated or dying, seal flash drives and hard copies in envelopes.
Preparing your financial records for your family can be time-consuming, but it is not complicated. The true goal of this task is organization and consolidation. And it is one of the most important financial tasks you will undertake during your life. When you feel your project is near completion (other than annual updates), ensure nothing is being overlooked by consulting an estate planning attorney, who will make sure you have all of the necessary legal documents in place. We provide these services and would be happy to talk with you about your planning needs. We help families navigate the difficult decisions around caregiving and how to pay for care. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss your particular needs.

You may run east-tec DisposeSecure from the command line prompt. This feature allows you to automatically erase entire disk drives from BAT files or from scheduling software. Use the following syntax:
DisposeSecure.exe disk1 [disk2 …] [erase options]
disk1, disk2, …
The disk drives to be completely erased. You will be prompted for confirmation before erasing them according to the current options.
See the erase options below:
Use a specific wipe method to perform the actions specified in the command-line. MethodID can be 0 (the first wipe method as it appears in the wipe method list), 2 (the second), and so on.
If this parameter is used, the user will be allowed to abort the wiping process during the execution. Otherwise, the process will be executed and the user will not be able to stop it.
If this parameter is used, the wiping process will not require user intervention. After a drive/device has been wiped, east-tec DisposeSecure will automatically start to wipe the next selected drive. When an error occurs, it will not be displayed to the user and the wiping process will automatically continue.
If this parameter is used, the process will use ISAAC pseudo random number generation algorithm for random data generating. This ensures a high security level but slows down the wiping process.
If this parameter is used, data is written to disk without intermediate buffering or caching. This provides performance gains in many situations.
If this parameter is used, east-tec DisposeSecure will erase the disc quickly (between 1 and 2 minutes depending on the recorder speed), but the program area will still contain user data. The quick erase option is recommended for routine use, when you want to prepare the disc for another burning but do not need to ensure that the data is erased beyond recovery.
If this parameter is used, a quick format of the drive will be also executed at the end of the wipe process. This step will remove all traces of the destruction process.
If this parameter is used, the wipe process will require user intervention after a drive/device has been wiped.The user can choose to continue, to abort or to view the disk.
If this parameter is used, the wipe process will generate a wipe report file for each drive that is wiped. The log will contain information about the drive, the time and date of wiping, any errors that occur while wiping, etc. The user can choose the name and the place where the report file will be generated.
If this parameter is used, the process will also log extra information required by U.S. Dept. of Defense standards (such as the name of the person performing the wiping process). The log file will also contain the exact contents of any sector that could not been wiped. This helps the user determine if the data that remained on disk is too sensitive to permit the release of the media.
This parameter must be used if you want to keep the current contents of the log file, and add new entries at the end of the file (append).
"C:\Program Files\east-tec DisposeSecure\DisposeSecure.exe" E /M=5 /R="C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\EAST Technologies\east-tec DisposeSecure\report.txt"
This command will completely erase partition E using method number 5 and it will generate a log file (report.txt) at "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\EAST Technologies\east-tec DisposeSecure". | <urn:uuid:69b3d458-0fd8-43b1-ae32-542a62733531> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.east-tec.com/help/disposesecure/how-to/command-line-parameters-windows-module/ | 2023-09-28T17:55:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.833247 | 777 |
Hello Eastern Trail community,
I hope this email finds you in great spirits and that your summer plans include time on the Eastern Trail. I am writing today to share an important leadership update.
After three years of dedicated service, our Executive Director, Jon Kachmar, is resigning from the Eastern Trail Alliance, and his last day will be September 1st. While we are sad to see Jon go, we are grateful for his dedication, passion, and the positive impact he has had on our organization.
Jon’s tenure began during the early months of the pandemic when many of us took to the trail to exercise and reconnect with nature and each other in a safe way. With trail use at a new high, Jon led the way to ensure our programs, partnerships, and revenues were strong. He has significantly advanced trail expansion work to realize the vision of connecting South Portland to Kittery through an off-road trail, and he shepherded the Eastern Trail’s national recognition and 2022 induction into the Rails to Trails Conservancy’s Rail-Trail Hall of Fame.
We are also excited about the opportunities this transition presents for the Eastern Trail Alliance. During this interim period, our dedicated staff and board members will work collaboratively to continue our programs and community engagement efforts. We will soon form a search committee tasked with hiring a leader who shares our passion for promoting safe outdoor recreation and connecting communities through one of the premier recreational assets in the region.
Please save the date, Saturday, July 29, and plan to attend the Eastern Trail Alliance Annual Meeting. We would love to meet you, share more updates with you, and have you join us in wishing Jon well on his next venture. Go here to Sign Up Now!
Thank you for your support and commitment. Let’s embark on this exciting new chapter together.

Summer and reading, a winning combination
September 9, 2021
POMEROY–The Denny Ashby Library promoted the Tails & Tales Summer Reading Program this summer of which 52 youngsters participated. These readers met their summer reading goals and received coupons for ice cream at Meyers Hardware and chose new books for the library's collection.
The Denny Ashby Library would like to congratulates the following participants in the Tails & Tales Summer... | <urn:uuid:f427ac89-cc57-4d5b-a805-7acfcf9a7e55> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.eastwashingtonian.com/story/2021/09/09/community/library-news/2164.html | 2023-09-28T17:46:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.895662 | 96 |
Forests are the lungs of the planet, so surely planting more of them could only be a good thing.
“Planting trees is a good idea on a range of fronts,” she said.
“They’re great for addressing salination and erosion, sequestering carbon and interrupting floods.
“So there is an assumption that projects that seek to sequester carbon in the landscape are automatically a good thing – for example some of the projects funded by the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF). Certainly, for reducing greenhouse gas emissions those initiatives can be very effective, but there’s a complexity which needs to be understood.”
With 86 per cent of Queensland officially in drought, Professor Hussey said there was a need to use water more wisely.
“Trees need water, so if you have a policy for planting a lot of trees, you’re obviously going to need a lot of water,” she said.
“In Australia we have twin challenges – to address climate change and to recognise that water is a precious resource.
In Australia we have twin challenges – to address climate change and to recognise that water is a precious resource.
Professor Karen Hussey, Global Change Institute, University of Queensland
“We’ve made fantastic progress on the latter, and we’re just starting to pick up momentum on the former.”
Professor Hussey said the Emissions Reduction Fund was a case of putting all the eggs in one basket.
“I would like to see a systemic approach, which starts with a price — or a constraint — on carbon,” she said.
“Australians are well and truly over the debate.
“The climate talks in Paris were incredibly powerful in giving everybody the freedom to move forwards, recognising that we all have to work on solutions together.
“The enemy is not ‘dirty industry’ – that’s far too simplistic an approach. Instead we’ll need to see steady change across a range of sectors, from the ‘low hanging fruit’ that is energy efficiency through to land-use changes and of course significant shifts in our electricity and energy supply mix.”
She said Australia already had the world’s highest uptake of photovoltaic solar panels, and was pursuing a broad range of solutions.
“Australians love solar. Better insulation on homes and retrofitting LED lighting can also make a surprisingly big difference when you consider that urban environments – suburbs – are the largest infrastructure we have in Australia,”
“So can running fossil fuel plants as efficiently as possible while we transition to ‘greener’ energy generation.”
But Professor Hussey said time frames were crucial.
”Unfortunately, urgency is the enemy of good policy,”
“We’ll need to see careful, considered reflection on how we can pursue solutions that manage the pain but maximise returns.
“There is no silver bullet for this challenge, but we certainly have the tools at our disposal to manage it.”

Kansas Solar Incentives (Rebates, Tax Credits & More in 2023)
In this guide to making solar more affordable through incentives available in Kansas, you’ll learn:
- What solar benefit programs are currently available in Kansas?
- How do the solar perks and solar rebate programs in Kansas affect the average cost of going solar in the area?
- What are the most important and beneficial incentive programs to take advantage of in Kansas?
Each product and or company featured here has been independently selected by the writer. You can learn more about our review methodology here. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission.
Do Kansas Solar Incentives Make It Affordable for Homeowners to Go Solar?
Yes, absolutely! Although there are fewer solar rebate and incentive programs than there are in most other states, the ones that are available can help bring down your conversion costs by thousands of dollars.
The typical up-front cost for solar conversion in the Kansas area is around $23,310, which is right in line with the national average. This number is based on the typical cost per watt for solar equipment — $2.59 in The Sunflower State — and the average solar system size — 9 kilowatts (kW) — required to offset typical utility bills in the area.
While the cost is about average, it’s still prohibitively expensive for many homeowners. Thankfully, the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) goal that 20% of a utility’s peak electricity demand be generated from renewable energy resources by the year 2020 has helped pave the way for a handful of benefit programs that help bring down the effective conversion costs in the area.
Blue Raven Solar
In the table below, we’ll include a list of all of the perks available in the state, as well as a brief description and an estimated savings each can provide.
|Solar Incentives in Kansas||Incentive Type||Description||Occurrence||Estimated Dollar Amount You Can Receive|
|Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)||Federal||Provides a credit for 30% of your entire system cost that gets applied to your income tax liability.||One-time: The credit is applied once when you file your taxes after installation. However, any remaining credit can be applied for four additional tax years.||$6,993, on average|
|Renewable Energy Property Tax Exemption||State||Prevents your property taxes from increasing following solar adoption.||Ongoing: You’ll see savings on your tax bill for every year your system holds value.||Varies based on your system size and value, as well as your local property tax rate|
|Net Metering||Local||Provides credits to your energy bills for all excess power your system generates and sends to the electric grid.||Always in Effect: This perk will provide energy credits for as long as your system continues to produce electricity.||Varies based on your system size, your monthly energy bills and more|
|Local Incentives||Local||Solar and energy efficiency rebate programs and other perks provided by local agencies, including municipalities and utility companies.||Varies based on the incentive.||Varies based on the incentive, your system size and more. Eligibility also varies.|
What Do Kansans Need to Know About the Federal Solar Tax Credit?
The federal tax credit is provided by the federal government to all solar adopters throughout the state and the rest of the country. When you install solar, 30% of the cost of your system — including panels, solar batteries and inverters — gets credited to your federal tax burden when you file for the credit.
Given the typical system cost of $23,310 in your area, the average credit totals about $6,993. Provided you owe at least that much in taxes over the five years following your installation, you can take the entire credit and effectively reduce your system cost by nearly $7,000.
The federal solar tax credit was first offered to solar adopters in 2005. At that time, the bill that initiated the credit was set to expire in 2024, at which time the credit would no longer be available. The original credit amount was 30%, which then dropped to 26% at the start of 2022 and was scheduled to drop further to 22% in 2023 before it disappeared entirely.
In August of 2022, Congress signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which bumped the solar tax credit back up to 30% for 2022 installations — including those that took place between the start of 2022 and the signing of the new bill. The IRA also pushed out the expiration of the credit and revamped the rate schedule:
- All installations from 2022 through 2032 will receive the 30% credit
- Installations completed in 2033 will receive a 26% credit
- Installations completed in 2034 will receive a 22% credit
- Installations completed in 2035 or beyond will not receive any credit
How to Claim the Federal ITC in Kansas
Not only does the federal credit provide a massive financial benefit, but it’s also easy to apply for. You can follow the below steps to take advantage of this perk.
- Step 1: Complete your home solar system installation.
- Step 2: Print out IRS form 5695 and fill it out. You’ll need contact information for your solar contractor as well as some basic information about your solar panel system, including the cost, size and installation site.
- Step 3: Append the completed form to your tax return, or have your accountant include it with your filing for you.
If you use tax software to file, you should get a dedicated prompt regarding clean energy equipment, so you don’t need to print or fill out the physical form.
EcoWatch’s Opinion on the Federal ITC in Kansas
The federal credit is the most beneficial perk you can take, in our opinion. The credit value is an incredible $7,000, on average, and it typically takes less than five minutes to fill out the single form required to get the credit.
This credit is a great option in every state, but it’s especially helpful for making solar more affordable in areas like The Sunflower State, where there are relatively few other incentives available.
We should note that while the credit is available to all homeowners, you can only take the credit if you owe that amount on your income taxes. If you don’t owe any money or the government owes you, the credit will still apply but not actually provide any benefit. You’ll need to owe an average of $1,400 per year for five years to be able to take the full amount.

What You Need to Know About the Exemption for Property Taxes in Kansas
Normally, any home improvement you carry out that increases the value of your home or property will cause your property taxes to go up, provided you file permits for the work. Your tax assessor will review the permits and any additions or improvements and then base your new taxes on your total assessed value.
It’s difficult to say exactly how much you’ll save by taking advantage of this perk. With an average solar power system cost in Kansas of $23,310 and a state property tax rate of 1.33%, you can expect a savings of about $310 per year, not accounting for system depreciation.
Over the 20 years your system is expected to hold value, that’s a total savings of $6,200. Since your system will naturally lose value, your actual savings would be lower.
How to Claim the Property Tax Exemption in Kansas
One of the best parts of the exemption for property taxes is that the savings happen automatically, so you don’t need to spend any time applying for the program. Your tax assessor will simply ignore the value added by your photovoltaic (PV) panels when assessing your home value for taxation.
EcoWatch’s Opinion on the Exemption for Property Taxes in Kansas
Property tax exemptions are a great way for states to reduce the financial burden and long-term costs associated with converting to solar power. We love seeing these exemptions, especially because the benefits are realized automatically and don’t take time or effort for an application process.
Plus, the expected savings are substantial, making this an all-around great perk.
Net Energy Metering in Kansas
Net energy metering is a policy that credits you for any excess power your panels produce that you send to the grid. Those credits act as “banked energy” that you can call on at a later date if your energy demands exceed your solar power production.
- Maximizes the overall value your panels provide
- Maximizes the energy savings you’ll realize over time by reducing effective electricity rates
- Minimizes your carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels
- Reduces the typical solar panel payback period
The average savings you’ll see from net energy metering are hard to determine due to several factors. The average energy savings from converting to solar in your area total around $21,455, and net energy metering can help you achieve those savings more easily and quickly.
Net energy metering is mandated for all investor-owned utilities (IOUs) in your area, including Westar Energy, Kansas City Power & Light and Empire District Electric. Some electric cooperatives and public electric companies also opt to offer NEM.
The rate at which credits are provided is not set by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC), the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in the state.
We should caution you that NEM policies throughout the U.S. have been facing some turmoil in recent years. Many states are seeing the policy go away altogether, while others are seeing less beneficial credit rates or charges to partake in the program.
How to Enroll in Net Metering in Kansas
If you choose a reputable solar contractor in Kansas, then chances are your installer will complete and file the net energy metering application for you. As such, the process of enrolling is automatic for most. Still, you should follow the steps below to ensure you partake of this solar perk.
- Step 1: Reach out to your utility company and ask if you have a bidirectional meter on your home. This is required for interconnection and should be provided for free if you don’t already have one.
- Step 2: Contact a reliable solar panel installation company in your area. We recommend confirming with the rep that the company will complete the NEM application on your behalf.
- Step 3: Proceed with the solar installation.
- Step 4: You can check your utility bills for a month or two following the installation process. You should see credits applied to your account for solar energy exportation. If you don’t, contact your installer to report the issue.
EcoWatch’s Opinion on Net Metering in Kansas
Net energy metering is an outstanding solar perk and, we believe, one of the most crucial to take advantage of. The application process is very often handled by your installer, which means you won’t have to spend any time enrolling. Even if you do have to apply yourself, the process is fairly simple.
In addition to being easy to enroll in, NEM helps increase the value of your solar energy system and save you more on electric bills over time. All in all, the value you get for the time investment is excellent.
Local Solar Incentives in Kansas
Many states have local perks provided by utility companies or cities. Unfortunately, Kansas doesn’t have any additional incentives aside from the federal and state ones mentioned above.
This is always subject to change, so we recommend checking the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) for more solar or energy efficiency programs before installing your PV system.
Which Tax Incentives Are The Best In Kansas?
Above, we’ve discussed all of the incentives available in your area. If you don’t plan on taking advantage of every perk that you can, we suggest focusing your efforts on the incentives below, as these make converting to solar in Kansas most worthwhile.
The Federal Tax Credit
The federal credit is what we believe is the most valuable perk available in your area. It’s open to all solar customers and provides an average potential value of about $7,000. Plus, you can realize the entire credit amount the first year you have your panels installed, depending on how much you owe in taxes.
Net Energy Metering
NEM is another perk we strongly suggest taking advantage of if it’s available to you. The application process is often done for you by your installer, so there’s minimal effort required on your part. Plus, this perk helps improve the value provided by your panels and maximizes your overall energy savings.
What’s The Near Term Outlook For More Incentives In Kansas?
As of right now, there are no plans in place to create new solar benefit programs or improve the existing ones in the state. While there is a Renewable Portfolio Standard goal in place, it isn’t mandatory or progressive and just calls for 20% of the state’s energy to come from clean sources each year after 2020. Solar is still a great way to save money in the long run and while Kansas incentives are less appealing than other states, there are still plenty of options to finance your solar system. Not to mention the payback period for most solar systems on average is 8 years- after which is pure profit.
If a new, more progressive RPS goal is set, it’s possible that additional incentives will be created to entice more Kansas homeowners to convert to solar. However, it doesn’t appear that there are any plans for that to happen. The local solar industry is expected to be stagnant in the coming years unless a change is made.
FAQ: Kansas Solar Incentives
Below, we’ll answer some questions we see frequently from solar customers in your area looking to save money using solar benefit programs.
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) are credits that a state offers for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar energy produced. Each SREC can be sold on a local SREC market, which yields a small profit.
SRECs are only available in areas where there are open SREC markets. Unfortunately, Kansas does not have an open market, so solar customers in the area cannot take advantage of this perk.
At this time, there is no legislation in the works to improve existing incentives, and there are no confirmed plans for new perks to pop up in the next two years. We’d love to see the state improve its RPS goal, which would likely lead to improved benefit programs. However, we don’t expect that to happen in the near future.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was a pleasant surprise for the solar industry that was passed in 2022.
It extended the federal credit — which was originally planned to be discontinued in 2024 — to 2034. It also increased the credit value from 26% for 2022 and 22% for 2023 up to 30%. This retroactively included installations completed in 2022 but before the bill was passed in August.
The IRA also had a positive impact on the electric vehicle (EV) industry. It bumped up the tax credit available for some makes and models. The credit now maxes out at $7,500 for some EVs
There are no plans to reduce the incentives available for solar systems in the next two years. However, many states are seeing their net metering policies get less appealing, or the programs going away entirely.
If there are reductions to incentives in the coming years, we expect that the net energy metering policy will be the first one affected.

How Much Does Professional Editing Cost?
The cost of
professional editing varies widely, and is affected by things such as the
level of experience an editor has, how in demand they are, and where they are
located. However, as with all things in this world, you get what you pay for.
Rates for Professional Editing Services
As a guideline, you should expect to pay at least $12 per 1,000
words for proofreading, $25 per 1,000 words for copy editing, and $70 per 1,000
words for content editing or rewriting. As the word count increases, many
editing services will charge a lower rate per word. This is only a guide, but
it is worth knowing what sort of price you will be expected to pay. A few online editing services charge the following prices for 5,000 words and a 1-day turnaround as of 2023: Scribbr - $355; Scribendi - $223; ProofreadingServices.com - $190; PaperTrue - $185; Editor World - $170. Choose your expert editor today and get started.
Prices for editing a dissertation with 80,000 words vary from $1,680 to $2,800. For more details on dissertation editing costs, see How Much Does Dissertation Editing Cost?
Some editors charge per word, other editors charge per thousand
words, and others charge by the hour. It is important that you check how the
editor you choose sets prices so that you can be clear on what the cost will be
before you get started.
You may find an editor who is happy to edit your 50,000-word
book for just $100, but how can you be sure they will edit your book properly
for that figure? In short, you can't. However, if you research the editor you
are looking to use, check any testimonials they have from previous work they
have done, and look at their qualifications and experience, you can assure
yourself that they are likely to work hard on your book. For a book of 50,000
words, for example, you should expect to pay at least $1,100 for editing
The price you pay for editing services is also affected by the
level of editing you require. Content editing, or substantive editing (also
referred to as rewriting),
will be the most expensive, and copy editing will cost more than the final
stage of proofreading. This is due to the level of work involved in these
Having your document edited means your work will be in the best
state it can be, so it is important to make use of professional editing
services. If your essay, article, or book is full of spelling mistakes,
punctuation errors, and grammatical mistakes, it will not be taken seriously.
After all, first impressions count.
Due to the above, it is worth spending money to ensure your
document is as perfect as it can be. You took the time to write the document,
so you want to be certain that it reaches its intended audience in the best way
possible. Researching editors to help you choose the best one for your work is
If you need a long document edited very quickly, you should
expect to pay a higher price. If time is not as issue, then the price will be
lower. This is because an editor who is expected to turn your work around very
quickly will not be able to take breaks or take on any other work. All these
things should be kept in mind when considering the price for editing services.
In conclusion, the price of professional editing services varies
widely. Your timeline and the length of document you need edited are the main
factors that will affect the price. The stage of your document and the type of
editing required is another factor. Editing and proofreading are essential
activities for every document.

This week I want to talk to you about something that’s near and dear to everyone’s heart.
I can’t give you specific advice or a great stock tip, but I can talk to you about some FINANCIAL SECURITY PRINCIPLES I’ve used over the years to build a significant amount of wealth.
Let’s start with some basics…
First, you must create a SAVER’S MINDSET.
LOCK THIS IN.
If you can’t save money when you don’t have much, you won’t save money when you have a lot of it. Saving money is a HABIT. So, the The very first thing you must decide is if you are A SAVER OR A SPENDER?
Part of this includes AUDITING how you spend your money. Do you know how much you spend on Starbucks, Amazon, DoorDash, streaming services, and other discretionary things each month?
Next, what is your attitude toward DEBT?
The cost to borrow money on a depreciating asset is EXPENSIVE. It can make sense to LEVERAGE MONEY on an appreciating asset, but you’ve also got to pay really close attention to how much and how often you do that as well.
Also ask yourself HOW LONG COULD YOU SURVIVE if all your income immediately stopped? Six months? Six years? At some point, you won’t work anymore, and NOW is when you make plans for when that happens, because at some point that will be a reality for all of us.
The BOTTOM LINE on your bottom line is this.
YOU DON’T BECOME WEALTHY BY MISTAKE.

Spacing and retrieval involves separating learning over multiple lessons and providing opportunities for students to recall what they have previously learned in different contexts. Science indicates that this helps to commit learning to long-term memory.
Why spacing and retrieval practice works
Understanding the science behind learning and memory can help teachers understand why spacing and retrieval practice are so effective in helping students learn and remember information. Depending on the situation, spacing can strengthen learning, or make students less likely to be mentally exhausted, and retrieval practice can strengthen memories, or make them more likely to be retrieved and connected to new information later.
Spacing and retrieval diagram
Having breaks between practice sessions can help to avoid mental resource depletion that results from focusing mental effort on similar learning tasks. In this diagram, the batteries represent the available resources to help process information and commit to long-term memory. The battery level illustrates how mental resources available for learning may be gradually depleted by extended practice and replenished by a break.
Working memory is what we use to learn new ideas and manipulate information. Working memory has limited capacity.
When we are required to manage a lot of new information, we can run out of space in our working memory. The scientific term for this is cognitive overload. If you are cognitively overloaded, learning can suffer, and it can be harder to move information to long-term memory.
Snapshots of practice
Spacing and retrieval practice may look different in different contexts. See below examples of spacing and retrieval practice in a variety of classrooms and settings.

Congressional Democrats are trying to lower the price of President Biden’s domestic agenda by scaling back the length of some new initiatives and curtailing their costs rather than dropping them altogether.
Saying she was “very disappointed” that Congress won’t be able to pass a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill favored by most of her members, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said yesterday she instead expects a final bill to come in at “a couple trillion” dollars — a compromise to curry favor with moderate Senate Democrats Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.
Pelosi also conceded that Democrats are going to have to make trade-offs to meet the lower cost. “You may do fewer things well,” she told reporters at her weekly press conference.
Pelosi declined to say what programs might have to be reduced, but stressed that the party would face “decisions” in the coming weeks on what’s included in the package, which is still expected to include big spending to fight climate change. She suggested that in some cases, cutting the length of funding would be a way to lower the price tag.
“The timing could be reduced in cases to make the costs [for some programs] lower,” she said. “But it would only be in a way that does not undermine the transformative nature of it.”
The reconciliation bill was initially designed to fund programs over the course of a decade, but congressional Democrats and the Biden administration are now looking at which programs could be paid for in shorter windows so as not to sacrifice the ambitious scale and scope of the original package.
Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), the chair of the House Budget Committee, who announced his retirement yesterday, said he believed there were still some divisions within the House Democratic Caucus about whether to invest in many programs at lower funding levels or restrict the bill to fewer programs at more robust dollar amounts (E&E News PM, Oct. 12).
“We had a meeting last week of leadership and committee chairs,” Yarmuth said. “And I would say that the discussion came up as to what people thought the better course of action would be … either to try to keep all the elements and pare them down, or to focus on three or four most important elements. And I would say the group was split pretty much in half.”
But, he continued, “the half that thinks it might be better to focus on a few couldn’t agree on what the few would mean. And so it’s gonna be difficult either way, but my guess is we’ll probably try to keep all the elements and pare them down.”
Progressives on board
Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) yesterday welcomed Pelosi’s interest in shortening the number of years that programs are funded rather than making wholesale cuts to specific line items.
“That is where we are, as well,” Jayapal told reporters on a conference call.
She said that a majority of the 96-member liberal caucus supports keeping the five top priorities it laid out earlier this year — including aggressive climate action — but would be willing to “cut some of them back to a fewer number of years” if need be.
More important to progressives than the duration of programs that would be created by the reconciliation bill are the “universality … and the immediacy of benefits” rather than having them last for the entire 10 years as initially envisioned, Jayapal said.
An exception to that rule, Jayapal said later in an interview with reporters on Capitol Hill, would be with certain climate provisions, where a decadelong funding commitment could be critical to the success of efforts to compel entities to lower emissions and invest in renewable energy sources.
“The important thing is, because the climate provisions rely on the marketplace in terms of supply — in terms of sort of the stick and the carrot, it is important that those are longer,” she explained.
“Do they have to be 10 years? I think so. But I’m open to seeing how people think about that. It’s got to be a long period of time, because the market is trying to make a transition to cutting carbon emission, and we have to have both the carrot and the stick.”
Asked whether she thought party leaders and the White House were in agreement on this point, Jayapal conceded that she wasn’t sure but said she "thought so."
Jayapal also singled out the Clean Electricity Performance Program (CEPP), which would penalize electricity suppliers that don’t meet specific clean energy targets, as one example of a program that needs a 10-year funding window or something close to it. Serious questions remain about whether the CEPP will survive the reconciliation process at all, given Manchin’s fierce opposition to the proposal (E&E Daily, Oct. 1).
Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), who joined Jayapal on the conference call yesterday, described climate change provisions as nonnegotiable.
“We can’t negotiate with deadly wildfires — they don’t negotiate,” Markey said. “We cannot negotiate with massive hurricanes — they don’t negotiate. We cannot negotiate with floodwaters and sea-level rise and drought and temperature rise.”
“It’s time for us to stop talking about what is politically feasible and start talking about what is scientifically necessary,” he added.
Democrats are hoping to meet an Oct. 31 deadline for reaching a reconciliation agreement, the date on which a stopgap extension of federal surface transportation funding expires.
Congress was forced to pass this patch when progressives refused last month to advance the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package — which includes a five-year surface transportation reauthorization — without an agreement on the reconciliation measure.
Yarmuth said he was optimistic that lawmakers would reach the deal by that date, but tensions are continuing to run high, and some members don’t see the urgency.
While Jayapal reiterated yesterday progressives’ position that both the Senate’s bipartisan infrastructure bill and reconciliation must move in tandem, she downplayed the expiration of the 30-day extension of federal surface transportation programs that lapses at the end of the month.
The highway programs, she noted, could simply be extended again for a short period to allow more time for negotiations on the reconciliation bill.
“The important thing is, let’s deliver both bills and get them right,” Jayapal said.
Meanwhile, Senate Budget Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), also participating in the conference call with Jayapal and Markey on Monday afternoon, continued to rail against Sinema and Manchin, accusing them of extending no counteroffers on reconciliation (E&E Daily, Oct. 7).
“The time is now long overdue for Sen. Manchin and Sen. Sinema to tell us exactly where they are,” Sanders said on the call. “What do they want to cut?” | <urn:uuid:5c0edd4a-5827-4d22-9b84-c5d103e57bdb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.eenews.net/articles/holding-back-the-years-dems-try-new-tack-in-reconciliation/ | 2023-09-28T17:32:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.962436 | 1,516 |
German shipyard HDW-Ferrostaal is due to start negotiations this Friday on the takeover of Hellenic Shipyards, also known as the Skaramangas Shipyard. The government is currently negotiating with the European Commission on state subsidies for Hellenic Shipyards. Brussels has asked for clarification on the official assistance which is intended as social protection for shipyard employees who retire voluntarily. Sources said that the Hellenic Industrial Development Bank (ETBA) held talks with the Commission early this week on the issue. The government appears to be hoping that Brussels will approve the entire process once it has found a buyer for Hellenic Shipyards. Much will depend on negotiations this Friday when HDW representatives meet officially with the privatization advisers, ETBA executives, trade unionists and representatives from the national economy and development ministries. The sellers are expected to ask the buyers to improve their financial offer. One of the controversial issues due to come up is the obligations each side is expected to assume related to Hellenic Shipyards’ possible hidden debts. The Development Ministry is optimistic about the outcome and expects to sign a preliminary agreement by the end of October. This, however, will depend on how many shipyard employees respond to the voluntary redundancy program. HDW is committed to retaining 1,400 employees, which means some 500 workers will have to leave. Sources said that the German shipyard is holding talks with the other bidder, the Tavoularis group, on possible cooperation over repair works. The bourse is now looking at its lowest level since May 1999. That year, the market ratcheted up a phenomenal 688-percent increase to reach an all-time high of 881 points. | <urn:uuid:b2d4b360-3f27-4911-867c-b8ca794aa973> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ekathimerini.com/economy/2504/germanys-hdw-and-hellenic-shipyards-due-to-start-talks-on-friday/ | 2023-09-28T17:29:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.964315 | 338 |
In the early 20th century, cars finally became more readily available for the average consumer. In fact, customers could purchase them through various channels including, straight from the manufacturer, mail order, and department stores. It wasn’t until 1948 that the first car dealership was established. This new way of selling cars created a shift in the industry, forcing vehicle sales to follow a particular standard of franchise regulations and rules. For example, automakers were eventually limited or prevented from selling cars directly to customers.
Today, licensed and independently owned car dealerships are pretty much the only place for customers to purchase the vehicle of their dreams. And as you can imagine — these dealerships need electricity to operate.

Car Dealerships and Energy
On average, auto dealerships (110kBTU) consume more energy than a typical office building (93kBTU). The reason for this is because of the different systems in place to ensure the safety of the vehicles, staff and customers. Many dealerships also have auto repair shops in addition to the main show room and office area. Some of the equipment or systems commonly found within these types of buildings include, paint booths, compressors, HVAC and lighting.
Car dealerships that profile their energy consumption benefit from conducting an energy profile analysis. This will help to determine areas of the business that require changes or improvements.
Car Dealership Energy Saving Tips
Just like homes, offices and other industrial buildings, car dealerships can do many things to improve their energy consumption. Energy Star, one of the largest energy efficiency agencies in the nation, and the U.S. Small Business Administration supply a significant amount of information to help support these kinds of business improvements. Both organizations place car dealership under the small business category, and so many of these tips can apply to that class of business as well.
Paint Booths: This equipment is used to repair damage done to the paint, or in some cases to complete a custom job for a vehicle. Energy is required to power this equipment because it requires a lot of air and pressure to spray the paint. Ventilation systems are also mandatory for paint booths due to the vapors and other matter that could potentially harm employees. To keep things energy efficient, it’s a good idea to check equipment for airflow capacity, control options and bulb quality (for lighting).
Compressors: There are several different types of compressors that car dealerships can install. It is important to note that different types of compressors consume energy at different rates. This is why it’s important to investigate different options.
Centrifugal Compressors are used in bigger car dealership auto repair shops. This type of compressor generates large amounts of air at low pressure. When run at 80% or greater peak capacity during the work day, they require minimal maintenance and score high in energy efficiency.
Scroll Compressors generate greater volume and pressure compared to other designs. This type of compressor uses a spinning scroll in order to work effectively.
Reciprocating Compressors need moderate maintenance but are quite simple to rebuild or fix. The reason for this is because it is common for heat and condensation to build up within the device. This compressor uses a piston to generate pressure within a tank.
For businesses like car dealerships that have a lot of equipment, it is important to regularity check the status of a compressor to ensure that it is in good working condition. Things to check include,
- Water separators are emptied (frequently)
- Wear and tension on belts
- Moving parts are well lubricated
- Changing air filters
Bay Doors: Many car dealerships have large doors that open and close to allow the entry and exit of vehicles. Keeping these doors closed when not in use is a critical part to maintaining energy efficiency within the facility.
Lighting: Light is a very important element to any business. Without light, employees cannot perform their daily operations. There are many different options for lighting within car dealership buildings including, fluorescent lighting, incandescent lighting, high-intensity discharge lighting systems, and daylighting.
Other Equipment: Most car dealerships include offices for employees, equipped with computers and lighting, as well as other appliances such as dishwashers or refrigerators. To save energy, turning off lights, office equipment and other appliances when not in use, helps to reduce consumption.
National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Energy Stewardship Initiative
Car dealerships that are NADA members have the option to participate in the Energy Stewardship Initiative. Run in partnership with Energy Star, the 4-step program encourages car dealerships to reduce their energy consumption by a minimum of 10% in order to reduce their impact on the environment and also save in energy costs. For companies who participate in the program, they receive recognition from both Energy Star and NADA, which can have a significant impact on consumers who are looking to purchase a vehicle(s).
If every car dealership across America reduced their energy consumption by only 10%, they would save a combined total of about $193 million. | <urn:uuid:e1d4135e-fb4f-4f35-9900-597b1f2e2eca> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.electricchoice.com/business-electricity/car-dealerships/ | 2023-09-28T16:51:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.949237 | 1,174 |
Futuricum’s specialised e-trucks now on roads
Four Swiss partners have joined forces to convert and operate two Futuricum electric trucks into special vehicles. The two examples feature an additional length of one metre, an increase of the payload by two tonnes and the expansion of the battery capacity to 900 kWh.
In addition to the Designwerk Group, to whose brands Futuricum belongs, the transport service providers Galliker Transport and Friderici Special as well as the construction machinery rental company Avesco Rent are involved in the project. In addition, the Swiss Federal Roads Office (ASTRA) has granted an exemption for both examples, so that the modified electric trucks are allowed to operate on public roads. This special permit dates back to the spring.
So far, the vehicles that Futuricum has delivered in Switzerland and abroad have batteries with up to 680 kWh, which is sufficient for most applications. As Designwerk announced back in March, “various customers have expressed that further distances are desired and are very interesting from both an ecological and economic point of view”.
The problems that Futuricum would have to install larger batteries for this, but this was not possible with the regular axle spacings. Therefore, Designwerk had applied to FEDRO for an exemption for two 40-tonne models, which has now been approved. The manufacturer is not interested in a massive overlength, but rather, as mentioned at the beginning, an additional length of one metre.
“This gives us the opportunity to place the battery packs on tractor units and car transporters both between the axles and behind the driver’s cab,” said Designwerk CEO Adrian Melliger. “With this additional metre, we can install up to 900 kWh of battery capacity and achieve a competitive range even in the logistics sector.”
As Designwerk made public in a recent announcement, the two electric 40-tonne tractor units have now been completed and have left production for Friderici Special and Galliker Transport. “With the completion and presentation of these vehicles, we have reached a milestone. Thanks to the installation of 900 kWh battery capacity, we are increasing the radius of action in the logistics sector and enabling particularly energy-intensive applications such as in heavy and special transports,” says Melliger.
Incidentally, since early summer Futuricum has already received a third order for the 900 kWh truck. As the Swiss haulage company Krummen Kerzers announced at the beginning of June, they had ordered such a vehicle. The electric truck will have a range of 500 kilometres.
The Designwerk Group has been completely dedicated to the installation of electric drives in the production of its vehicles for about twelve years. The Swiss company is primarily active in the development, prototyping and manufacture of low-volume niche products across the entire spectrum of industrial electromobility. This niche know-how has recently led to the entry of the Volvo Group, which has now taken over 60 per cent of the shares in Designwerk Technologies AG.
The Volvo Group is the commercial vehicle group with trucks, buses, construction machinery and marine division, not the car manufacturer Volvo Cars, which belongs to Geely. However, Geely also holds a minority stake in Volvo Group. Designwerk and Volvo Group have been working together for several years, with many of the Futuricum vehicles based on Volvo chassis. It was only at the end of December 2020 that the two partners announced that they would extend their cooperation to Germany. | <urn:uuid:057cc450-1a2b-474b-8104-3377f810ea80> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.electrive.com/2021/10/15/futuricums-electric-specialized-electric-trucks-take-to-the-roads/ | 2023-09-28T18:25:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.965443 | 731 |

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Sometimes we must learn to let go and let God have his way. Several years ago I learned about a neat little box called “Something-For-God-To-Do-Box. And for many years this was symbolic to me, every time I encountered something in my life that I had no control of, or I recognized that I was in Spiritual warfare, I would take time out to pray over it, write it down, and release to God. Every time I was frustrated, confused, weary, disappointed, or that I needed God to rescue me; then I utilized this box. And this daily ritual was a tremendous blessing in my life. You see so often we are trying to help God and he doesn’t need any assistance from us. Think about it, if he created the heavens and the earth; what can we possibly help him with? Outside of taking our hands off of things and letting go, and let God have his way. So often he’s waiting on us to step aside, and ask him for help. This little box became my prayer box and reminded me of who was really in control. It also helped to keep me grounded and I was able to maintain my peace in the midst of every day challenges. John 14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift- peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” No matter how corny or cliché it may sound; but it helped me to lay my burdens at the alter and leave them there. God has given us instructions to cast all of our cares upon him. So often we like to pick and choose what we want to let go. God never intended for us to be heavy burdened, yes trouble will come; but we have to decide if we are going to stand on his word and trust his promises. You may be going through hard times on today, but just think back to where you was this time last year. We were on lock-down, with so much uncertainty. But God…he showed up, he kept us sane in the midst of it all. We have survived the pandemic. And we are still here and still standing! Remember He did not bring us this far to abandon us now. And God said in his word that for those who hope in the Lord that he will renew our strength we will soar on wings like eagles, we will run and not grow weary; and we will walk and not faint. I want to speak lift into you today! Please hold on your best is yet to come! Remember to let go and let God have his way. God loves you and he wants you to win in every area of your life!!!
Most Holy and all wise God, father we come humbly before your throne of grace; pausing to give you all the glory, honor, and the praise that is rightfully due unto you. Truly there is none like you in all the earth. Lord we could search high and low and still wouldn’t find one greater than you. We love you with every part of our being. Please have mercy on us, and forgive us for our transgressions. Lord forgive us for falling short of your glory. Please decrease us that you may increase more in our life. All that we are and all that will shall be is by your grace and your mercy. Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in your sight. You are our rock and our redeemer. You said in your word to let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Thank you for saving us, and loving us in such a way. We are so grateful!! Thank you that you’re not like man, you look past our faults and see our needs. Father you are the potter and we are the clay; take us, make us, and mold us into that which is pleasing in your sight. Thank you for every good and perfect gift that comes from heaven above. Thank you for your unconditional love, and for loving us in spite short-comings. Thank your guidance and direction. Thank you for food, clothes, shelter. Thank you for keeping our mind stayed on thee. Thank you for your hands of protection and keeping us safe from dangers seen and unseen. Lord show us how to truly surrender our all unto you. Teach us how to let go and allow you to reign and rule in our lives each and every day. Thank you for peace in the midst of it all. Thank you for being El Shadai, the God of much more. Remind us that along this journey called life it is bigger than us. And that you desire so much more for your children. Help us to trust you in times when it feels like we can’t trace you. Father use us to be a blessing to someone else. Thank you in advance for meeting every need of our brothers and sisters. Thank you another day filled with so many possibilities. Bless our families, our friends, and our loved ones. For it’s in the awesome name of Jesus we pray, give thanks, and say Amen.
Praise: God for the ability to cast all of your concerns unto him.
Offer Thanks: to God for keeping you in your right mind in the midst of it all.

Oostende, an EMBRC site, will host sample collection at land and sea
The ‘Traversing European Coastlines’ (TREC) project is the first pan-European, cross-disciplinary effort to examine life in its natural context at unprecedented scales. Oostende and surrounding areas in West Flanders will host sample collection at land and at sea as well as activities for the general public.
Our seas and coasts host an extremely rich diversity of life and play critical roles in the stability and sustainability of wider ecosystems. However, anthropogenic interferences are leading to accelerated loss of species’ genetic diversity and destruction of functional ecosystems. To minimise the future impact of such external factors on coastal biodiversity, we must understand the molecular and cellular basis of how organisms interact in ecosystems and react to external pressures in the context of their natural habitats.
TREC is the first continent-wide project to study coastal ecosystems and their response to the environment, on scales from molecules to communities. Led by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) together with the Tara Ocean Foundation, the Tara OceanS Consortium, and the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC), TREC also involves national research institutes such as the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Oostende, Belgium.
This scientific endeavour combines land- and sea-based expeditions along the entire European coast. At each point where the EMBL team with the mobile laboratory and collaborators will sample soil, sediments, and shallow water, the schooner Tara will sample the associated marine ecosystems – on the same day and in the immediate vicinity. At Oostende, the scientific activities will include soil, water and aerosol sampling involving EMBL’s mobile laboratories and onboard the Tara schooner along land-sea transects.
The scientific expedition
The TREC expedition brings together more than 150 research teams from over 70 institutions in 29 European countries. Scientists will collect soil, sediment, aerosol and water samples, as well as selected model organisms and numerous environmental data. Their work will cover different scales of life – from viruses and bacteria to algae, plants and animals – on land, in river estuaries, and at sea.
The scientific teams will study the biodiversity and ecosystems on land and at sea, as well as the interactions of organisms with each other and with the environment. They will also collect information on factors such as the presence of pollutants, antibiotics, pesticides, or hormones, as well as temperature, salinity, and oxygen levels.
In total, TREC will examine the biodiversity and molecular adaptability of life at the molecular scale at 120 coastal sampling sites across 46 regions in 22 European countries. Several of these sampling sites are located in and around Oostende.
The pan-European nature of this project means that samples will be taken in a standardised fashion. This will make it possible to compare and probe data across Europe instead of a regional or national system in a way that was not previously possible. TREC thereby builds on the resources, infrastructure, knowledge, and expertise provided by EMBL, Tara and the EMBRC, as well as a vast network of European partner institutions. | <urn:uuid:4e3e3db2-a26d-4b72-ba02-22d34f3b2acb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.embrc.eu/newsroom/news/oostende-receives-scientific-expedition-study-human-impact-europes-seas-and-coastal | 2023-09-28T18:01:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.924382 | 650 |
I have been fortunate enough to work with many healers all over the world, but no experience has been as deeply healing and illuminating as working with Karen. I have worked with her in-person as well as virtually and the thing that surprised me is that her healings and presence are just a palpable thousands of miles away! She brings a unique touch weaving her personal experiences with the mysteries and lessons of the Divine, opening you up to your own wisdom and healing abilities.
- Alicia S
I first met Karen in 2016 after serious emotional trauma. I was looking for help as I knew I needed healing of my physical body and spirit. I remember crawling onto her table with a heavy heart and exhausted body. What I experienced was extraordinary compassion and a lightening of the load I was carrying. I have continued to see Karen; and when my teen age children saw the changes in me, they quickly sought out sessions with her too. For each of us, her work has been life changing. In a session with Karen, you experience the subtle power of reiki, crystal bowls, tarot and oracle cards, and information from beyond the veil. Karen has recently completed her training as a shaman which has expanded the tools she has available for healing. When I leave Karen’s office there is an unfamiliar feeling that I am completely supported, and that there is more going on in my life circumstances than meets the eye. She offers low cost healing days, group crystal sound baths and guided mediations. If you get the chance to see her, please do. She offers healing that is profound and helps set your life on the highest possible course to complete your calling and find joy.
- Heinzelmann, PH.D. Clinical Psychologist
Karen combines her 'classical psychological training' combined with her natural intuitive talents and skills. She has helped me to move forward in my own journey and with precisely the right guidance many times. I am lucky to have benefited from her insights and healings (usually when I am the most 'stuck'). She helps me to see the Bigger Spiritual Picture and that causes me to grow. Honestly, everyone would benefit from her healing insights and I completely recommend her.
Karen is a gift and her abilities are God-sent.
- Dave K.
Karen's healings are unlike anything I have ever experienced. When Karen plays the bowls it feels like every cell in my body has been activated. Not only does my body benefit, but I also gain a mental clarity with each healing. I want to keep going back!!
I first met Karen when we studied Reiki I training together and we instantly had a connection . We both met as grieving broken hearted souls in this journey called life. I have had the most extraordinary opportunity to be a witness to Karen's beautiful transformation into her healing journey. Her emphatic manner of communicating makes you feel good and her words vibrate on a frequency to where your soul truly understands the message being sent. Karen is an absolute amazing psychic intuitive messenger brought to this world to help heal each and everyone.

Hello, and welcome to Enchanted Images! We are James & Stefani Hays, a husband & wife photography team based in Roseville, California. We officially opened our studio, Enchanted Images, in September 2003. James had been experimenting with his interest in photography for quite some time, and after the birth of our first daughter Reilly, it became his passion. James was simply not satisfied with the status quo; he created the artistic and timeless portraits of Reilly that he would be proud to display for years to come. It was after some convincing from me, Stefani, a former financial planner, that this passion could also be shared with others who desired the same quality images for themselves.
Together with our passion for photography and desire to create beautiful, artistic portraits for other families, we feel blessed to be working together as a husband and wife team. Our award-winning style combines the use of numerous photographic and digital imaging techniques to create one-of-a-kind portraits.
Our goal is to provide the most relaxed, comfortable photo session possible. By doing this, we believe the true personalities and relationships of those being photographed will be captured.
We currently live in Roseville with our daughters, Reilly and Teagan. | <urn:uuid:f0fc0eac-5bf5-4681-87ab-28738f958a70> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.enchantedblog.com/about-2/ | 2023-09-28T18:35:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.973849 | 251 |
Seeking to further pursue an education in nursing practice, Mona began studying here in February of 2018. Mona explains that in her time at MLC, she’s learned more than English language.
“I learned to overcome my fears because they’ll stand between me and my goals. I learned how to drive and it used to cause me a great deal of anxiety. I also learned to write about anything with my own twist. I used to feel embarrassed from other people reading my essay but now I feel proud about them because I have a unique writing style as my instructors encouraged me all the way. I learned so much about nature, as Ann Arbor is a beautiful city that is rich with a taste of everything. I learned also a lot about myself and my family, I realized we’re all relentless!”
We recently celebrated with Mona as she passed an important exam for her nursing career. We feel fortunate to have Mona as a student and to watch her grow in these ways! | <urn:uuid:e167ec65-a0e1-458c-9b99-823356b25743> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.englishclasses.com/blog/student-spotlight-mona-aljabr/ | 2023-09-28T18:15:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.98235 | 208 |
The raid at Harpers Ferry had several immediate effects which can be seen as not only causative with regard to the war, but also having a bearing on the way the war was fought and, possibly, its outcome.
Prior to Brown's raid, the Southern militia system barely existed. A man attempting to start a rising of enslaved people, though it was easily stopped, led the Southern states to expand and to organize their militias with large numbers of volunteers. These militias then became the nuclei of the Confederate armies when war broke out a year and a half later. The raid also convinced Southerners that not just John Brown but other Northerners intended to free the enslaved people and to abolish the institution of slavery, not merely to "contain" it by excluding it from the territories, as the platform of Lincoln and his party would be the following year (1860).
The reaction in the North to Brown's raid was that Brown began to be seen as a martyr even by people who were not especially committed to abolition. Though his tactics were decried by most people (including Lincoln), the cause for which Brown stood was central to the conflict between North and South. This had always been the case, but the spectacular (and doomed) act of violence perpetrated by Brown had the effect of inflaming people on both sides. All of these factors led, however indirectly, to secession first by the Southern states a year later and to a protracted war in which both sides would not back down over the issues at the root of the conflict. In answering your question as to whether the raid affected the outcome of the war, we cannot give a direct yes or no because there were so many intervening things that happened in the span from October, 1859 to April, 1865. Brown's legacy, throughout the conflict, was an inspiration to many of the Union troops, as the song "John Brown's Body," which then became the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," indicates. But that legacy also could have made the Confederates wish even more to fight to the death, given their fear that what Brown intended—the liberation of the enslaved people—was inevitable with Union victory, as it in fact was. | <urn:uuid:6c80a6e5-c6f2-45f9-8cb4-7c684ce85eb6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/how-did-john-brown-raid-harpers-ferry-affect-civil-794424 | 2023-09-28T17:58:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.988224 | 445 |

A while ago my firm was hired to, as the strategy brief challenged, “…imagine the future of the sustainability report. Be disruptive.” The client asked us to consider this evolution and made it clear that a perfectly acceptable answer could be, “there is no future for the sustainability report.”
The “there is no future” option was tempting. And many leaders in the space are more than willing to let the idea of corporate responsibility (CR) reporting fall away and be replaced with the more comprehensive and maybe holistic integrated reporting (IR). Last year, Hannah Jones, vice president of sustainable business and innovation for Nike Inc., said her company will soon “jettison the language of sustainability, and simply talk about value creation.” Ultimately, we decided that was a cop-out, and potentially simply an example of shifting (as opposed to jettisoning) of the language of sustainability itself.
Great minds collided at our shop as each team took positions arguing for and against what paths CR reporting could take. It got emotional, theoretical, aspirational, and occasionally it got practical. Some wanted to invent technology for users to engage with CR content, others were focused on the boundaries of reports, and still others decided that the report itself was dead but that content from the report needed to become “reassemble-able” to suit the reader’s needs better. “The report is dead, long live reporting” became their mantra.
As a way into this re-imagining of the CR report, we looked at the 5 common elements in reporting. We dissected audience (who reads these things anyway), medium (what’s the best modern form for delivery – small bites, video, pound of paper, embedded in brand content), boundaries (how far out, how far in), and frequency (annual, bi-annual, monthly, etc.). But the most cerebral fistfight of the project came during the topic of authorship (who writes these reports).
It seemed clear from our research on the language of sustainability that most CR reports are actually a Sybil-esque multitude of voices glued together with brand standards. Or, they are ghost-written by consultants. Rest assured – if this were a stone-throwing contest, we are well aware of our own building materials. We’ve ghost-written our fair share.
This is all (maybe) interesting martini-talk, but the reality is that no one ever asks “who wrote this?” as a meaningful inquiry into its content or authenticity. Few of us actually care, but we should – and that’s the point. We should no more accept unsigned sustainability reports than we should unsigned checks. Yes, CEOs and CSOs often “sign” the intro, but nine out of ten times I bet that letter was approved by them rather than written by them. | <urn:uuid:e9124659-c017-4f84-bd94-0453675429c0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.environmentenergyleader.com/2012/06/writing-disruptive-corporate-responsibility-reports/ | 2023-09-28T17:04:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.975574 | 599 |

If your embedded network electricity retailer goes out of business, there are steps you can take so your electricity supply is not affected.
What to do if your embedded network electricity retailer goes out of business
If your embedded network electricity retailer goes out of business, here are some steps you can take so your electricity supply is not affected.
- find an alternative retailer to sell electricity to the embedded network
- organise connection to the main electricity network.
Connecting with the main electricity network
Embedded network owners and customers can consider connecting to the main electricity network.
Embedded network owners (such as owners corporations)
Connecting to the main electricity network may require infrastructure (such as meters or wires) to be upgraded. Connecting to the network means embedded network customers in your building can choose their own electricity retailer.
Customers in embedded networks
If you are an embedded network customer and want to be connected to the main electricity network so you can choose your own retailer, contact:
- the embedded network manager responsible for your site (if applicable)
- your electricity network distributor.
Victorian electricity distributors
Your electricity distributor can provide information about how to connect to the network and the costs involved.
The five electricity network distributors in Victoria are:
- AusNet Services (outer northern and eastern suburbs and eastern Victoria)
- CitiPower (metropolitan Melbourne and inner suburbs)
- Jemena (northern and north-western suburbs)
- Powercor (western suburbs and western Victoria)
- United Energy (southern suburbs and Mornington Peninsula).
Visit energy.vic.gov.au to confirm your distribution network.
Finding an alternative embedded network operator
Embedded network owners may be able to arrange for another retailer to sell electricity to customers in their embedded network.
There are several electricity retailers that service embedded networks. Retailers selling within embedded networks generally do not require a licence, but they do need a licence exemption.
Before you choose a new retailer
You have two choices when it comes to selecting a retailer – a licensed retailer or an exempt retailer.
In doing your research, some things you should consider include:
- the retailer’s contract terms and conditions, including the length of the contract, and whether these suit your needs
- the prices, fees and charges payable.
The commission does not endorse any particular retailer as being suitable for your needs.
The licensed retailers below have consented to being contacted about alternative retailer arrangements if your embedded network electricity retailer goes out of business.

Places to Visit on your way to Tofino, British Columbia
By Kilee LeBlanc
You’ve arrived on Vancouver Island and it’s time to make your way towards Tofino, British Columbia. You could get off the ferry and drive the three hours non-stop to get to your destination. However, there’s plenty of fun to be had along the Alberni Highway in your Escape Campervan. Give yourself a bit of extra time to enjoy the sights, stretch your legs, and fuel up before arriving at your destination on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Here are some of the best places to visit on your way to Tofino.
Coombs Old Country Market
Coombs Market not only has antique shops and groceries - but also goats grazing on its roof.
Where can you stop to eat ice cream and fresh tacos, browse antique shops and grab all your groceries for a weekend away? The Coombs Old Country Market is an eccentric marketplace that has everything you could ever want under one roof. Speaking of the roof – it’s grassy and covered with goats! Be sure to check out their epic cheese department, home-baked bread, and selection of colourful Mexican homeware.
It’s hard to miss Cathedral Grove as one of the places to visit on your way to Tofino. As you’re driving, you’ll be swathed amongst the towering Douglas fir trees in MacMillan Provincial Park. Parking stalls are directly off the highway, making it a great stop to breathe in some fresh air and stretch your legs. On the south side of the park, you’ll find the largest Douglas firs. We found one measuring more than nine metres in circumference. The park features leisurely strolls to see these giants along with toilets for your convenience.
The Donut Shop
Grab a donut from The Donut Shop, which has over 24 different flavors of donuts.
Enjoy service with a smile at The Donut Shop. Pick up a dozen delicious donuts from this cozy shop on the waterfront for a great treat. Owned and operated for more than twenty-five years, The Donut Shop is the place to grab a coffee and choose between the twenty-four different flavours of donuts. They offer flavors from peanut butter cup to maple bacon and the classic chocolate dip.
Twin Cities Brewing Company
Try a unique brew along with some pizza or meat sandwiches.
For beer aficionados, Twin Cities Brewing is a stop you cannot miss. This community brewery serves up innovative brews alongside a lineup of tasty meals such as hand-stretched pizzas and smoked meat sandwiches. Try a flight of their famous beers, nosh on local fare, or gather friends and family around for a games night. There’s easily something at Twin Cities Brewing for every palate.
Where to Stay on Your Way to Tofino
Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park is a great place to camp on your way to Tofino.
If you’re looking to break up your trip to Tofino, or if you’re arriving on a late ferry and would prefer to drive in the daylight, staying at Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park is a great option. It’s easily one of the best places to visit on your way to Tofino. As the name entails, it is located on the ocean a quick forty-minute drive from the Departure Bay (Nanaimo) ferry terminal. It features a large provincial campground suitable to park your Escape Campervan. Be sure to reserve early if you’re planning to travel during the busy summer months as the sites book up quickly. The park is home to majestic old-growth trees, beautiful ocean sunsets, and a wide sandy beach that recedes along a kilometre at low tide making for excellent beachcombing opportunities.
How to Get to Tofino
You'll need to take a ferry to get onto Vancouver Island and then head to Tofino, BC.
The Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal is a quick twenty-minute drive from the depot. It has a one hour thirty-five minute crossing time that takes you to Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island. This route is preferred if you have extra days to explore nearby provincial capital of Victoria and the surrounding area. The drive from Swartz Bay to Tofino takes around five hours. There are many scenic stops along the way so rushing through would involve many missed opportunities.
Alternatively, the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal is one hour away from the Escape Campervan depot. It boasts a one hour forty minute crossing time that takes you to Departure Bay on Vancouver Island. Though the distance to the ferry terminal itself and crossing time is longer, this is the more direct route to Tofino. The driving time from Departure Bay to Tofino takes only three hours.
Especially during weekends in the summer, ferries fill up quickly and waiting times can take hours if you do not have a reservation. Making a ferry reservation is highly recommended and can be done via the BC Ferries website. There is an additional charge to reserve, but it is so worth it!
When reserving your Escape Campervan on the BC Ferries website, make sure to note the length and height of your Escape Campervan. The Santa Cruz and Mavericks models are standard but the Big Sur and Newport Campers are longer and taller than the standard. This can be indicated on your reservation so that BC Ferries makes sure to allocate enough room onboard for your vehicle.
Take the time to smell the flowers at some of the best places to visit on your way to Tofino. You may end up discovering some hidden gems you wouldn’t otherwise have seen if you gunned it to your destination. With an Escape Campervan, having a home on wheels makes it easy for spontaneous adventuring on Vancouver Island. Just don’t forget to book your campervan early, especially during the busy summer months.

Shopify Capital is launching in Australia to provide quick and easy funding for up to $2.5 million AUD for thousands of merchants to accelerate growth, expand to new markets, and prepare for the peak sales season.

- Could your online business use capital for growth? Here is a primer on revenue-based loans, and how they work.
Today, concerns about inflation, consumer spending, cash flow, and lingering supply chain challenges have created challenging business conditions for retailers. Though, now more than ever it’s important businesses remain agile and seek new forms of revenue and growth.
This is the time of year when Aussie merchants are preparing their business for the upcoming peak sales season — ordering inventory, planning campaigns, sorting shipping, and hiring talent. Though, timely access to funding to make these investments is one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs.
In fact, Shopify research found that while 62% of Australian merchants are comfortable seeking funds to invest in their business, two-thirds (67%) are deterred by high-interest rates, and more than half (53%) are turned off by lengthy application processes and timeframes.
Traditional lenders often require business owners to apply through lengthy and complex processes. Shopify Capital isn’t traditional financing. There’s no lengthy application process and we don’t do personal credit checks, take equity in the business or ask merchants for cash flow projections.
Instead, merchants receive offers up to $2.5 million AUD through the same Shopify platform they already use to run their store. Shopify Capital has experts that can review our data-informed and machine learning models to ensure a merchant receives the funding they need to help grow their business.
Once approved, funds are deposited in as little as two business days for merchants to use how they choose for their business, with most investing in talent, inventory, and marketing to maximize growth or bridge cash flow during seasonal dips.
Shopify Capital Addresses Business Cashflow Concerns
Essentially, Shopify Capital fills the gap that traditional lenders generally cannot satisfy by providing businesses with the funding they need, when they need it most — now, not months from now.
As merchants make sales, they repay based on an agreed fixed percentage of daily sales — lowering cash flow risks by removing the uncertainty of compounding interest rates and hidden fees. There is no specified time limit for repayment — merchants pay back funding based on their sales, so payments flex with their business.
“We couldn’t be more proud to support Australian businesses with everything they need to build strong brands for customers here and around the world,” said Shaun Broughton, APAC Managing Director, Shopify.
“At the same time, Australian businesses are concerned about the increasing cost of capital, inflationary pressures impacting margins, and declining consumer confidence impacting sales. Shopify Capital is remitted only when a sale is made, so Australian merchants can be confident that they can afford to invest in their businesses.”
Since launching in 2016, Shopify Capital has provided more than $3.8 billion USD in funding to tens of thousands of entrepreneurs in the US, UK, and Canada, a 90% increase in total funding in the past 15 months. This funding has been vital as businesses look to accelerate growth, with merchants that received funding through Shopify Capital averaging 36% higher sales in the following six months compared to their peers.
Tracey Jewel, Manager at Batherapy, is a clear example of growth achieved through Shopify Capital. Boosted by two rounds of funding through Shopify Capital, Tracey expanded her business from selling online-only DIY bath kits to creating in-studio bath and body product workshops across Perth.
“Access to funding has traditionally required business owners to jump through hoops for something that should be quite easy. Now we can quickly access funding through the same platform I already use to run my business and don’t have to think about repayments as they’re automatically made as a portion of each sale,” said Tracey.
“The first round of funding helped to quickly boost supplies to support the opening of our first studio space in inner-city Perth, and we’ve since repaid the first round and accessed an additional round to fast-track the opening of three new studios across the city.”
Supercharging Commerce in Australia
The launch of Shopify Capital in Australia comes as Shopify expands its merchant base in the region. Today, almost 40% of Australian merchants on Shopify sell internationally through features like Shopify Markets, and access to working capital through Shopify Capital now gives merchants greater scope to build their brand both here and internationally.
In 2021, Shopify’s Australian merchants generated $39 billion AUD in economic activity and contributed 154,000 jobs. Recently, we released new features for Australian merchants, including a new B2B offering the ability to sell wholesale; tokengated commerce to help brands reward loyalty; and integration with YouTube to give merchants and creators a powerful new way to connect to consumers.

After seeing and hearing him, he might bring something to the Browns if he makes the team. A year ago he didn't make the Packers coming out of preseason. Now he'll have a chance to make the Browns, as the team signed both Young and Tyler Thigpen coming out of minicamp.
Assuming the Browns add another quarterback in the draft, they'll have five heading to the full-team minicamp in June and perhaps training camp.
The Browns had to see something they liked in Young and Thigpen to keep both. On the field during interviews following the final practice, coach Mike Pettine said the team's brass had to meet to decide who would be signed.
Less than two minutes after the media returned to the media room, word had broken that the Browns had agreed with both players.
Not even Don Draper works that fast in meetings.
How the Browns will use the veterans remains to be seen. Perhaps they and Brian Hoyer will all compete along with the rookie. Perhaps Thigpen and Young will compete to be the backup.
Clearly Young is the more interesting story of the pair. Perhaps he will pull a Jim Plunkett and revive his career in Cleveland. He is 31-19 as a starter, but the last time he started a game was 2011. His experience in Green Bay would indicate his climb is uphill.
“You can tell he's very rusty,” Pettine said. “I was joking with him the other day that it was falling off and rust was falling off in large clumps.”
But when Young left college to become the third overall pick in the draft, many predicted he would change the league. He started 28 games his first two seasons, 10 in his fourth -- when he went 8-2.
Things went south the next season.
Young said upon signing that he would cancel his return flight and stay in Cleveland to further study the playbook. Which is a good sign. So was the way he spoke about filling any role and helping any way he could.
The Browns have seen quarterbacks of all sizes, shapes and abilities ramble through the training facility here. Young and Thigpen might not be as good as many, but they are better than some.
The Browns needed a veteran backup, and they needed someone for this camp.
Young and Thigpen provided the arms needed.
Now they get a chance to prove to the Browns that they are needed. | <urn:uuid:9b6918fe-a9d9-4134-9455-8525704656ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.espn.com/blog/cleveland-browns/post/_/id/5387/young-thigpen-get-chance-to-revive-careers | 2023-09-28T16:45:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.988275 | 504 |
There are moments, fleeting and at the same time monumental, that without bluster, thunder or lightning can change a life. There is no instant of catharsis, no rapture but something not yet defined becomes clearly inevitable.
I had one of those moments one sunny day, though the exact date and even the year is now lost to memory. The '60s will suffice. The last innocent generation came of age in that decade and one summer day, I walked into a thoroughbred racetrack for the first time.
The memory of that day remains vivid. This was nothing like the track at which I had first been exposed to racing at the offhand suggestion of my father, made my first bet, won -- a eureka moment in itself in which a horseplayer was made. That was a small, half-mile fairgrounds harness track. This was very different, uncharted territory for a know-it-all college kid -- a vast expanse of grass, an infield landscaped and throbbing with floral color, a walking ring with these massive, muscled animals at arm's length. The scent of popcorn, hot dogs, cigar smoke and manure seemed to blend as if joined in nature.
Somehow, I knew at that moment that this was the place for me and though there have been many other racetracks since then, I have not left.
The track at Fort Erie is in Canada, just across the Niagara River from Buffalo, N.Y., my hometown, and by the time I returned, both racetrack and formal educations interrupted by three years, eight months and one day of service to the country, Sandy Hawley was riding most of the winners. Phil Ranallo, second winner of the Eclipse Award for newspaper writing (the year before Red Smith) was covering racing, often from the viewpoint of a character called Harry the Horse, for the long defunct Courier-Express. The education of a still-neophyte horseplayer was resumed in earnest.
The town of Fort Erie was in those days dominated by Chinese restaurants and strip joints. Neighboring Buffalo, even with its steel mills and factories operating at full tilt and its grain elevators full, was never a hotbed of racing. But the racetrack at the other end of the Peace Bridge, first opened in 1897, was part of the landscape, a summertime stand on the Ontario Jockey Club circuit and home to the Prince of Wales Stakes, second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown. Four thousand was a capacity crowd. Cuban cigars were available legally. The Canadian edition of the Daily Racing Form was a 50-cent tabloid. Charles Hatton. Joe Hirsch. You read. You learned.
Buffalo nowadays is far from the thriving industrial city it was in the early '70s. The region has seen decline span decades without horizon. Less than 20 miles to the north, at Niagara Falls, large casinos have been built on both sides of the border. Another is under construction in downtown Buffalo. The racetrack at Fort Erie has limped through long and hard times but even the casino, opened in 1999 and hailed as the track's savior, has fallen victim to the current, ubiquitous fervor to expand gambling opportunity exponentially. The starting-gate bell may have been heard for the last time in southern Ontario.
The Buffalo News reported this week: About 190 employees who work in the horse racing department, but not the adjacent casino, were told Monday afternoon that "it appears that the ... track will not be able to continue live racing in 2009" and that their employment would be terminated March 31, according to a news release from the track's owner.
In a news release, the owner, Nordic Gaming, which has for some time unsuccessfully sought financial concessions from the Province of Ontario, said it cannot "continue to absorb the substantial operating losses year after year" and must "begin preparing for closure. This decision has been a difficult one for the company; one which Nordic has delayed for several years."
So, it is a very real possibility if not a fait accompli that the seventh-oldest North American racetrack has reached the end, a casualty of time and economic tide. Its closing will take a toll on a group of people who managed to make a living running bad horses at "The Fort," and will be faced with surviving on what they call the "B circuit" in Canada. It will be missed by a handful of horseplayers who still find it a fine place to spend a summer afternoon. If no solution is found before May and Fort Erie remains shuttered, its passing will be noted by the racing press and lamented briefly in the nearby region, but will for the most part pass unnoticed, a footnote to the news of the day.
The real shame is that a link will be lost in the chain because at tracks like Fort Erie, small regional tracks far from the major-market, big-time racing they may not experience first-hand, people are drawn to the game. Racetracks are visceral. If you have found the right place, you know immediately. The more difficult task as these small tracks vanish is finding the place.

Employees and the employer are guided by the contract of employment, which stipulates the terms of services and roles played by each of the parties. Labor contracts also try to guide the employers on how to handle their employees so as not to infringe on their rights as stated by the law. It includes the description of duties to be performed by the employees in various departments, the period for the agreement to be in place and the payment mode within that set time. The terms of service and guidelines differ ranging from the private sector to public sector, although all of them are in line with the law concerning maintaining the ethic guide for employment. Contracts may be individually based especially in the private sector or the contract unions can negotiate the terms of service with the employer for the employees. The labor unions use the contract agreements for bargaining or negotiate new deals for the employee in case the employer breaches the terms of the contract.
Grievances arise after an employee raises a distress about the company policies and its effects on the working conditions. The collective agreement contains a clause for collective bargaining agreement giving the employees an opportunity of addressing issues that affect their working condition (Gennard & Judge, 2005). Grievance handling processes should be in range with the collective agreement for employment. It includes other clauses that may be added with time for the benefit of the employee. Contract agreement in the private sector requires the employee to agree to the terms of service for a period before any other changes are made. Contract agreement in this sector provides minimal or no clause for changes in the agreements made. However, any grievances made by the employee are under review by the employer, especially that relating to the company policy.
Private sectors offer the best platform for their employees to express their concerns and views on matters relating to their working environment. There are tremendous benefits gained from such models of addressing grievances, which aims to maintain a peaceful environment for the workers to have maximum performance in their field areas (Nurse & Devonish, 2006). The private sector has included a number of regulations for handling any grievances in comparison to the public sector. Handling of grievances within the public and private sector has similarities and alterations on how it establishes and carries grievance resolution consistent with the employment relations agreement. Grievance handling processes in the public sector are still advancing on better ways to address the employee issues.
The employee’s file grievances based on various issues relating to their place of work including objecting violation of the contract by the employer or biased corrective action taken upon an employee. The first step in grievance processing is the employee airing their complaints to their supervisor or immediate managers. In the private sector, the employee represents him/herself directly whereas in the public sector a union representative can step in to represent the employee. A setback in employees representing themselves is that there are grievances that the employees may have against their managers and at this state, there is no hope of resolving it directly with their managers. Failure in determining the appropriate solution for the grievances leads to the next step.
The next step includes analysis by a higher level of board conducted by the firm’s representatives. This level of analysis only occurs after an employee feels the agreement but may result in a strange relation between the employer and the employees. The grievances are analyzed and the responsible parties are punished in accordance with the law. The responsible party punished whether the employer or the employees has a right to appeal in reference to the punishment arguing the punishment is unjust. Appeal from any judgment made results in arbitration, which is part of the labor contract for all employees. If not, the employee can seek legal help from the judicial system to resolve the matter.
Grievances resolution in both private and public sectors is not so different. Matters in administering discipline and discharge clause should be justified and consistently applied to all workers (Ramsay, Scholarios, & Harley, 2000). Employee discharge in the public sector involves a long process of investigation and analyzing the worker’s performance before settling for dismissal an employee. The constitution protects employees in the public sector more than in the private sector. Employees in the private sector are susceptible to being dismissed for reasons other than discrimination of an individual. A similarity between the two sections on employee grievance handling are joined by the governmental laws relating to labor contracts that promote enhancing individual rights.
The ways grievances are handled in an organizational set-up have a significant impact on employee relations, which in turn affects their performances. The performance record of an employee may be altered with the way a grievance is handled. Most instances a grievance is brought up is usually relating to the work environment of the employees. Correctively judging and punishing an individual is only justified if it is the guilt is proven. Punishment can range from dismissal of the employee or demotion from a given level of the organization. Poor judgment reduces the commitment that other employees have towards achieving the organizational objective and at time results in absenteeism.
Another negative impact that may arise is the reduction of determination by the employees. A wrong decision that is biased according to the levels of employment may result in reduced moral from individuals and as a result, reduces performances. Grievance handling process should be thorough to ensure that the well-being of the employees is maintained and reduce any form of mistreatment from the administration (LaVan, 2007). A just system boosts the performance and determination of employees because their welfare is catered for. As such, there is need to maintain integrity in administering judgment when handling employee grievances.
The way of handling grievances also has a positive attribute in relation to employee relations. The employee’s morale is boosted when the administration handles the grievances with a clear mind with no biases. It should ensure that the rule of law is maintained and irrespective of the position in the company, the responsible party is punished accordingly.
In conclusion, the way grievances are handled in the private sector and public sectors are not so different with each working in line with the regulations of the law regarding the good fare of employees. Organizations need to establish an appropriate way of analyzing grievances brought by the employees to create a suitable environment for maximum performance by their workers. In addition, handling grievances within an organizational set-up should be handled with honor and an appropriate punishment is passed on the guilty party. The purpose of conducting all these steps is to ensure the success of a business setting in achieving their objectives by setting a good business setting.

[A non-profit pharmaceutical company? Could a group of dedicated scientists
with some financial backing from donors do better than commercial drug
companies? It is an interesting question, which might be followed with
argus eyes by commercial drug companies.
It is, however, a very needed initiative, as commercial drug companies
suffers from "market failure" to find new drugs for poor populations who
cannot buy their products.
MSF has been trying to set up the "Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative"
since its March 2002 meeting in New York. Any info on that initiative?
Anyway, good luck to the "Institute for One-World Health" venture mentioned

Drug firm seeks cures over cash
S.F. nonprofit wants to help poor nations
David Perlman, Chronicle Science Editor Monday, August 19, 2002
In a world of giant drug companies driven by profit goals, a 41-year- old
Francisco scientist has charted a different course, creating the first
nonprofit pharmaceutical firm to battle the most deadly parasitic diseases
Armed with almost $4.7 million in grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, Dr. Victoria Hale, a pharmacologist, and her new Institute for
OneWorld Health are leading the development, testing and manufacture of new
drugs that once languished in the laboratories of commercial firms but are
headed for clinical trials against killers that threaten millions in Asia
A nonprofit pharmaceutical firm may seem an oxymoron doomed to fail, but
industry experts say Hale may be onto something.
Edward Penhoet, former chief executive of Chiron Corp., the pioneering
Emeryville pharmaceutical firm, said Hale's institute should fill a "huge
in bringing badly needed drugs to market for the majority of diseases that
afflict the undeveloped world."
"I'm a convert to the enterprise because it's not in the economic interests
the largest drug and biotech companies to do it," he said.
Eric Gordon, a veteran of 20 years as a research executive at giant
Myers Squibb Co., called Hale's venture "a brilliantly innovative idea
time has long since come."
The international drug companies, Gordon suggested, should prove more than
willing to support Hale's venture by turning over promising research
that could produce drugs but lack significant profit potential.
Hale clearly understands that drug companies must help the venture.
"They have the best drug candidates on their shelves," she said.
HOW GRANT WILL BE SPENT
Most of the new Gates grant, which was announced last week, will enable
company to begin final clinical trials of a powerful drug against the
form of leishmaniasis -- also known as kala azar, or "black fever" in
which infects 500,000 people and kills 60,000 each year in India,
Nepal, Sudan and Brazil.
The rest of the Gates money is earmarked for development and, if all goes
human trials of a new drug therapy against Chagas disease, which afflicts
million to 18 million people and kills 50,000 yearly throughout Latin
In the future, Hale says, her company plans similar attacks against a host
parasitic diseases. They are all little known in the Western industrial
but exact a horrific death toll in poverty-stricken areas that lack
sanitation, medical care and clean water.
"We're a team of pharmaceutical scientists who've come together to move
forward that would never otherwise reach the market," Hale said in an
from her vacation home at Lake Tahoe. "And we have no stockholders."
Hale said her new company will build no laboratories or factories and have
sales force. But it already has entered into unique partnerships with the
Health Organization and other international nonprofit groups to develop and
test versions of the drugs that can meet the strictest rules for safety and
Ultimately, the institute plans to contract with commercial drug firms for
large-scale production and distribution in countries where the diseases are
most widespread. Contracts will require those firms to sell the drugs in
tiered" pricing schedules -- cheapest for public health agencies and at
rates for commercial pharmacies.
An early version of an injectable drug to combat kala azar, for example,
developed by an Italian pharmaceutical company that ultimately became part
the global drug giant Pharmacia Corp., with headquarters in New Jersey. The
drug is called paromomycin, and when Pharmacia decided not to push further
development and its patent expired, the company turned over all information
it to the World Health Organization, Hale said.
That was 14 years ago. When the World Health Organization ran out of
development funds after sponsoring early clinical trials, Hale made a deal
her company to lead the final Phase III trials, which are about to begin in
India. Private physicians are enrolling hundreds of patients in Bihar
where the death toll from kala azar is highest.
When India's drug regulators approve the antibiotic's safety and
Hale said, her institute will contract with a major Indian drug firm to
the medicine within the next three years, pricing it in two tiers.

A new study of satellite data from the last 19 years reveals that fresh water from melting glaciers has caused the sea-level around the coast of Antarctica to rise by 2cm more than the global average of 6cm.
Researchers at the University of Southampton detected the rapid rise in sea-level by studying satellite scans of a region that spans more than a million square kilometres.
The melting of the Antarctic ice sheet and the thinning of floating ice shelves has contributed an excess of around 350 gigatonnes of freshwater to the surrounding ocean. This has led to a reduction in the salinity of the surrounding oceans that has been corroborated by ship-based studies of the water.
"Freshwater is less dense than salt water and so in regions where an excess of freshwater has accumulated we expect a localised rise in sea level," says Craig Rye, lead author of the paper that has been published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
In addition to satellite observations, the researchers also conducted computer simulations of the effect of melting glaciers on the Antarctic Ocean. The results of the simulation closely mirrored the real-world picture presented by the satellite data.
"The computer model supports our theory that the sea-level rise we see in our satellite data is almost entirely caused by freshening (a reduction in the salinity of the water) from the melting of the ice sheet and its fringing ice shelves," says Craig.
"The interaction between air, sea and ice in these seas is central to the stability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and global sea levels, as well as other environmental processes, such as the generation of Antarctic bottom water, which cools and ventilates much of the global ocean abyss."
The research was carried out in close collaboration with researchers at the National Oceanography Centre and the British Antarctic Survey.

The official Twitter handle of ‘The Kensington Palace’ has released a set of guidelines for ‘anyone engaging with our social media channels’. The royal family has asked the social media users to show ‘kindness, courtesy, and respect’ whenever they interact online. This guideline has come after there were repeated cases of online abuses hurled at Duchesses Kate and Meghan.
The royal family released a set of guidelines, banning any “obscene, offensive, threatening, abusive, hateful and discriminatory posts”. Around 3.87 million accounts follow the royal family’s twitter and 1.69 million follow Kensington Palace. The Kensington Palace is the official account for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The royal family isn’t allowed to have personal social media accounts. Meghan Markle had closed down hers last year, before marrying Prince Harry. She had 1.9 million people following her posts on Instagram, and more than 350,000 Twitter followers. Her Facebook page had almost 800,000 likes.
While there are overwhelming messages that are being supportive but the officials were spending hours every week addressing the sexist and racist comments aimed at the duchesses. There has been an increasing number of violent threats. One of a senior royal reporter was threatened with acid attack on her face.
Royal biographer Claudia Joseph said, “It is not just the Royal princesses who are being trolled, every Royal journalist, every Royal correspondent is being trolled as well.”

The royal family said it reserved the right to delete comments, block users and report posters to police if their contributions do not meet their guidelines, which also state that comments “must not be off-topic, irrelevant or unintelligible.”

Right from the first frame in Pixar’s new short movie “Piper” the audience is captivated not only by the amazingly realistic look of the animation, but the simple and delightfully engaging story. Audiences watching the new short which accompanies “Finding Dory” cannot fail to be captivated by this enchanting tale of a baby bird learning how to survive in the world.
Alan Barillaro took 3 years to produce the 6 minute short which is surely heading for an Academy Award. Every Pixar movie involves a meticulous process of research. Barillaro and his team spent many hours of research at Muir Beach and Monterey Bay Aquarium.
The technical advances which Pixar has made in what really is a relatively short number of years is nothing short of astounding. You only have to compare the look of the 2003 Finding Nemo” with “Finding Dory”. Pixar shorts have in many ways been responsible for the huge leaps in technology which the company has been able to make.
The innovative short movie program can find it’s origins in John Lasseter’s original “Luxo Jr” movie. Lasseter directed this movie to showcase the Pixar Image Computer’s technology. The short movie program gives the Pixar team the opportunity to push the boundaries of technology. After “Piper” it is interesting to speculate how much further they can go – it is just so realistic.
Barillaro realized that it was essential to get the movement of the feathers correct to achieve the standard of animation that they were looking for. This was no easy task. If we think back to “The Incredibles” the technology of the movement of hair was evolving a lot at this stage. A great leap forward was seen with Merida’s stunning red hair in “Brave”. The animation of the feathers in “Piper” takes another big step forward in advancing the realism of the technology.
But the brilliance of “Piper” is not just about the animation. As John Lasseter once said “The way the films look will never entertain the audience alone. It has to be in the service of a good story with great characters”. The new movie looks amazing, but it is the story which captivates us. It wouldn’t matter how wonderful the movie looked if we didn’t love the story.
It is particularly impressive that “Piper” manages to make such an impact without having even one word of dialogue. Barillaro has been with the studio since the early days and the production of “A Bug’s Life”. He is very in touch with the studio’s strong sense of history and the lessons that can be learned from that. He drew inspiration from Andrew Stanton’s courage to have the entire opening act of “Wall-e” without dialogue. Some of the most powerful scenes in Pixar history have had no dialogue. Just think for a moment about the depiction of the love story of Carl and Ellie – an amazing illustration of how emotion and story can be conveyed without words.
“Piper is simply brilliant. No more to be said. | <urn:uuid:9f7f82ac-b08a-457d-bba4-6e4ab1cf30a3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.everythingmouse.com/pixars-piper-a-their-best-animated-short-movie-in-a-long-time | 2023-09-28T18:18:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.958961 | 668 |

Operating wind turbines capacity was 16.6% higher at 12,584 megawatts with 61.4% of new capacity corresponding to the United States. Production rose 12.1% to 7,636 million kWh), driven by strong performance in the U.S. (+47.9%) and the UK (+22.9%).
Iberdrola Renovables, world leader in wind power, recorded a net profit of €171.9 million in the first quarter of 2011, a rise of 10.1% over the same period last year.
Gross operating income (Ebitda) rose 2.6% to €452.7 million, while Ebitda from renewables business was 9.3% higher at €428.3 million. Wind power business contributed €418.9 million to Ebitda, 92.5% of the total.
By country, Spain accounted for 50.4% of Ebitda, the U.S. for 25.7%, the UK 7.7% and the Rest of the World area 10.8%, while gas business accounted for 5.4%.
Operating wind farm capacity rose 16.6% to 12,584 megawatts (MW), with 61.4% of the increase corresponding to new capacity in the U.S. where the government maintains its firm commitment to renewable energy.
Iberdrola Renovables was 16.6% higher produced 7,636 million kilowatt hours (kWh) in the quarter, an increase of 12.1% which was driven largely by strong performance in the U.S. wind power business where output rose 47.9% and also in the UK where it increased 22.9%.
Solid business performance in renewable energy and improved prices in most markets where the Company operates contributed to a 13.2% rise in strong cash flow generation to €378 million.
The Company thus maintained its world leadership both in operating capacity and production, and currently has 1,030 MW under construction. Cost control efforts meanwhile enabled a 1.5% efficiency gain compared to the first quarter of 2010.
During the first quarter, the Company started up the El Andévalo (Huelva) wind farm with capacity of nearly 300 MW, making it the largest in continental Europe.
Outside Spain, Iberdrola Renovables achieved a 50% market share in Hungary after starting up 70 MW of new wind power capacity at the Amundsen, Scott and Csoma II wind farms. The Company is developing another 100 MW in new wind power projects in this country, thus consolidating its Eastern European presence.
The Company obtained all permits required for the extension of the Whitelee and Black Law wind farms, which will become two of the three largest installations in Scotland, and has acquired the 26 MW Bii Nee Stipa wind farm in Mexico. | <urn:uuid:4ac4884a-44ff-41ba-8b20-7cafff06ca44> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.evwind.es/2011/05/05/wind-energy-iberdrola-renovables-lifts-first-quarter-earnings-10-to-%C2%80172-million/11449 | 2023-09-28T18:02:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.936077 | 592 |
Without pens and ink, communication in any language would be significantly limited – in modern times for sure, but even more so in past centuries. This week our word of the week is 笔 – ‘pen’.
笔 is pronounced bǐ.
The character 笔 (bǐ) was first seen in the Oracle bone script during the Shang Dynasty. Its meaning is pen or Chinese brush.
This traditional form of the character 笔(bǐ) is “筆”, which is a combination of two characters: the character 聿(yù), which represents a hand grasping a thin, vertical writing brush, combined with an abbreviated form of the character 竹 (zhú), “bamboo,” from which calligraphic brushes were made in ancient China.
一笔勾销 （yì bǐ gōu xiāo）
Literally: to write off in one stroke. Meaning: all canceled.
下笔如神 （xià bǐ rú shén）
Literally: Write like an angel. Meaning: Write quickly and powerfully.

In our last installment, we discussed the value that empathy maps and personas can bring to your project. Your users are now at the forefront of everyone’s minds, and the team is ready to learn about the problems that need solving. But what next? How do you begin to determine what changes need to be made, what should stay the same, and where there are opportunities for improvement that not even your users have thought to request? The answer is a journey map.
Journey maps can be created a few different ways and can look very different, depending on what makes sense for your project. Today, we’ll discuss a basic journey map. As you get more comfortable, you can experiment with different models. When determining how you should begin your journey map, it’s best to start with a simple question – are you mapping out the current state of an application, or are you mapping out a future state of an application? Mapping out the current state of an application is closer to workflows that most analysts use as part of their daily work, so let’s start there.
Start at the Beginning
When redesigning an application, figuring out how the system works currently is the first step in understanding your project. A journey map can start the same way – start with what you know. A good way to begin this process is by talking to a subject matter expert, and of course, exploring the application yourself. At this stage, the journey map should just be how the application works, devoid of any ideas for improvement or new functionality. I recommend using a whiteboard or sticky notes to map out the current state. Throughout the creation of the journey map, you’ll be adding more and more information, and it’s easier to add something via a sticky note than change an entire Visio diagram.
Layer in Your Research
Once you have mapped out the current workflow, start a new row beneath the current state to add thoughts and feelings your consumer is experiencing as they move through your site. This is where your research and personas/empathy maps come in handy. You already have a good idea of what pain points and desires your users have, and now you can attribute them to specific points in the workflow. This will help you zero in on areas of your application that need more attention. This could mean changing the workflow, softening the language, or something as simple as more graceful transitions from page to page. This can even uncover areas where the user is experiencing pain because your application is missing a feature – so not all pain points will align with a step in the current workflow.
Finally, add a third row that lists opportunities for improvement based on what you’ve learned from the current workflow row and user feedback row. Let’s pretend you are redesigning a retail website. On the website, there are 15 different ways to filter women’s shirts. After conducting user research, you find many users feel overwhelmed by the granularity of the search and have trouble navigating the page to find the right category of shirts. One opportunity could be a new taxonomy that creates broader categories for women’s shirts. Another option is the introduction of new tools like sorting and filtering to help users scan through the search results. Maybe the number of categories are fine, but the language doesn’t make sense, and that needs to be re-worded to something more intuitive to your users. There can be many opportunities listed for the same pain point. Remember, we’re not trying to define a solution at this point, but rather brainstorm ideas for ways the pain point can be alleviated.
Don’t forget to add notes of what users like – this isn’t just to uncover areas that need work! It’s important to note where users are finding delight in your application too. These experiences that create delight can be used to study what your users respond to and should be noted as things you may want to avoid changing in your redesign.
Future State Journey Maps
You’ll use much of the same process to map out a future state journey map, but it’s a bit trickier without having a current workflow to help get you started. In these situations, you’ll need to rely even more heavily on your subject matter experts and user research. Future state journey maps will likely only have rows for the future state workflow and thoughts/emotions you hope your user will have at that point in their journey. However, if you are working on an agile team (and hopefully you are!), you could still include an opportunities row, but you can tailor this row to be specific to items that are nice-to-have enhancements that the team can work on after you launch your minimum viable product. There is also the opportunity to add new rows based on your project’s needs. For example, if it is helpful for your team to include a row that provides an explanation for the creation of a page or action, feel free to add that!
Mapping out how you want the user to think and feel while using your website is crucial to providing them the best possible experience. If we can correctly gauge their needs and understand what they want, their positive experience with the site will likely carry over to their perception of the overall brand. It’s important that the journey map conveys to the organization what is important to the user as they navigate the website, which isn’t always obvious to the organization. The point of the journey map is to gain understanding, so add and tweak the process as you see fit – it’s perfectly normal for no two journey maps to look the same.
The Journey (get it?) Leads to a Better Destination

NVIDIA Rallies on Data Center Sales And Price Target Increases
NVIDIA is trading strongly bullish this week as experts are expecting a better than anticipated quarterly report, including the confirmation that data-center sales have surpassed gaming for the first time. In addition, several rating agencies have lifted NVDA stock price targets.
American multinational technology company NVIDIA is scheduled to release its corporate results for the second quarter of 2020 today after the bell. It is expected to have strong sales in gaming, data center, and overall chip departments.
Today, experts are anticipating a crucial shift in balance, and core business for NVIDIA as Wallace Witkowski from MarketWatch said in a recent article.
Up until now, Nvidia's gaming segment has always been its largest source of revenue, but that's expected to have changed significantly with the second quarter.
This data would be the confirmation that NVIDIA is in the crossroads of several industries that are expected to boom in the next few years. The chipmaker is well positioned in business like cryptocurrency mining, data centers, automated driving cars, and next generation gaming.
NVIDIA was always viewed as a long term bet with immediate results, and the company confirmed it every single quarter in the past years with strong business and revenue growth. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated everything, and it looks that the company based in Santa Clara, California, is at the core of every technology segment.
Analysts at Rolland said:
While Intel and others prognosticate a 2H data center slowdown, we believe the setup remains more favorable for NVIDIA, helped by the relatively new launch of the A100.
In the end, it is one of the most important chip makers in the world, powering hardware made by tech titans like Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, and Google, but also traditional companies such as Porsche, Goldman Sachs, and Sony.
NVIDIA's GeForce Cloud Gaming Services Available in Chromebooks
Today, NVIDIA launched GeForce Now cloud streaming service for Chrome OS, providing access to new games to all chrome laptops users.
Cameron Faulkner from The Verge tried the new service, and he said in a recent article that "it is pretty good, even if you barely meet the requirements."
What's cool about the beta is that Nvidia isn't preventing any Chromebook user from going to play.geforcenow.com and giving it a try themselves, although the company does offer some recommended specs that it says ensure a good experience.
With this new move, NVIDIA is increasing its potential user base.
NVIDIA Gets Price Target Increases
Experts are monitoring NVIDIA, and they like what they see. In that framework, several companies have raised price targets for the NVDA stocks just ahead of today's corporate earnings report.
The Street Quant Ratings considers NVDA as a share to "buy" with a target price of $600,76.
Analysts at TheStreet said:
The gross profit margin for NVIDIA CORP is rather high; currently it is at 68.57%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 29.77% is above that of the sub sector average.
Credit Suisse has NVDA as an "outperform" stock with a 12-month target price of $425. The firm is waiting for the result to decide on potential increases in price targets.
However, Credit Suisse says:
We continue to see NVDA as the best secular growth stock in Semis with an almost open-ended TAM enabling AI, protected by first movers advantage and wide/deep moats in both silicon AND software – providing for continued upside to both earnings and multiple. Reiterate Outperform.
NVDA Shares Analysis: NVDA Test The $500 Area
Shares of NVIDIA are trading lower on Tuesday as investors are digesting Monday's rally and today's all time high of $500.
In a profit taking movement, NVDA is expected to have experienced a consolidation phase above $460.00. But overall, the chart looks bullish.
From the technical approach, NVDA condition is strong and indicators suggest that the bullish trend remains healthy. MACD is bullish, momentum and RSI is strong, and moving averages are aligned to the north.

There are plenty of ways to stay cool this summer when you're enjoying an Exploria Resorts vacation. Orlando's amazing water parks, Daytona's famous beaches, New Smyrna's celebrated surfing culture, and thrilling Pocono Mountain adventures – you can't go wrong. And be sure to set aside time to just chill at these beautiful, laid-back resorts. Orlando Water, Water Everywhere A vacation at Summer Bay Orlando By Exploria Resorts offers plenty of ways to keep cool without even going off-site. Spend time at the private, 64-acre, spring-fed lake – it's perfect for a wide range of watersports including jet skiing, kayaking, and floating along on a pontoon boat. Stroll the resort's white-sand beach, take a dip in one of six refreshing pools, or watch the kids go wild at Parrot's Landing interactive water playground. And you'll have lots of opportunities to unwind with an adult beverage at one of the pool bars. Cool Water Park Thrills Orlando's water parks offer a variety of ways to escape the heat in between theme park visits. At Disney's Blizzard Beach, only eight miles from the resort, you can chill out all summer long. It features one of the world's tallest and fastest free-falling waterslides, as well as slides and rides for the whole family – like a kid-sized, snow-castle fountain play area. (Disney's second water park, Typhoon Lagoon, is currently closed due to the pandemic.) Discovery Cove at SeaWorld is a one-of-a-kind experience where you can interact with bottlenose dolphins, feed tropical birds, and play inches from a family of otters in the Freshwater Oasis. Snorkel with tropical fish and rays in The Grand Reef, relax in the large resort pool, and swim along a tropical river. SeaWorld's Aquatica is home to some of the world's most thrilling water rides, featuring 42 slides, rivers, and lagoons, and 84,000 square feet of white, sandy beaches. From exhilarating wave pools to the steepest, multi-drop waterslide in Orlando, Aquatica offers something for all ages and interests. Universal's Volcano Bay has four tropical-themed areas inspired by the Pacific Isles, each with a mix of relaxing and thrilling experiences. At the heart of the park, Krakatua Aqua Coaster twists and turns through the 200-foot-tall volcano. Volcano Bay also features serpentine body slides, two lazy rivers (one of which isn't so lazy), a wave pool, and thrilling drop slides that will leave you breathless. Daytona & New Smyrna Beach Refreshing Ocean Breezes Daytona Beach and neighboring New Smyrna Beach are two sides of a coin – the bustling beach community that's always abuzz, and the low-key beach town with a laid-back vibe. Together, they represent Central Florida's most popular beach destinations and the perfect place to keep cool with Exploria Resorts. A full lineup of refreshing pastimes awaits at Grand Seas By Exploria Resorts in Daytona Beach. Order a cocktail from the Grand Seas Tiki Bar and relax on the pool deck while the surf rolls in the distance. Make a splash in any of the three on-site pools, including two outdoor pools with water slides and kiddie areas. Just down the coast, New Smyrna Waves By Exploria Resorts offers three distinct building options – all just steps from the surf and sand. Head to the beachfront pool deck, drink in hand or cool down with idyllic views from your patio. Regardless of the resort you choose, your vacation can't get more rejuvenating than this.Watersports Heaven There are dozens of ways to beat the heat here, and all of them involve the water. You can drive your car on Daytona Beach, at designated areas, pick a spot, pull out the beach chairs, and spend the day playing in the waves! More active pursuits include everything from boating, windsurfing, parasailing, scuba diving, offshore fishing, and sailing charters, to kayaking at Mosquito Lagoon and paddle boarding across Indian River Lagoon. One of the area's most popular watersports is surfing. In fact, New Smyrna Beach was named one of the world's top 20 surf towns by National Geographic. Local surf shops and instructors rent boards and offer both private and group lessons. The area's top surfing spots are Ponce Inlet (Daytona Beach) and Bethune Beach (New Smyrna Beach). The Poconos Chill Summer Sports Summer sparks endless ways to play and stay cool in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, and you can find several of these at Pocono Mountain Villas By Exploria Resorts. In addition to horseback riding, tubing, and swimming, what better way to beat the heat than ziplining through the treetops? The staff at Pocono TreeVentures will make you feel like a ziplining, tree-walking, rope-climbing pro by the end of the day. The park features 1,000-foot, dual racing zip lines, tree climbing walls, and nine zip lines connected by bridges and ladders. With so much natural beauty in the area, what better way to see it than from above? From Mild to Wild The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area offers a long list of water activities to keep the summer heat at bay. There's a designated swim area at Smithfield Beach, less than five miles from the resort, where you can take a picnic lunch and stretch out on the grass along the river's shore. Canoeing, kayaking and tubing on the Delaware River are also popular summer pastimes, and there are several outfitters that can set you up for a day on the river surrounded by lush green mountains. If you decide to take it up a notch, consider a whitewater rafting trip. Visitors can take to the rapids while enjoying a glimpse of the surrounding wilderness and its wildlife.Adventure with Exploria Resorts No matter where you stay, after a day filled with refreshing adventures, you'll look forward to returning to your home-away-from-home at Exploria Resorts.

There are many studies that show after school programs are successful at driving positive results for students. However, it can be difficult for program leaders to demonstrate the same level of success in their programs without extensive resources.
The Importance of Measuring Success
Although the task may seem tedious, there are benefits to measuring program success. It helps to identify what’s working and what areas need attention. Thus, sparking continuous quality improvement, which leads to positive outcomes for students in your program. Additionally, it helps to draw support from the community, potential funders and policymakers by demonstrating that after school programs do, in fact, make a difference in students’ lives.
3 Tools and Strategies for Measuring Success
- Goal setting. The best way to start measuring success in after school programs is by setting and tracking goals. Setting goals provides a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished, why it should be accomplished and how to accomplish it. Do you want to launch a new program offering? Enroll twice as many students than previous years? Decrease staff turnover? Be specific, make sure the goals are realistic and set a timeframe. Then, use these goals to guide your efforts in improving or maintaining program quality.
- Data collection and evaluation. A 2014 issue brief from the After School Alliance and MetLife Foundation suggests data is critical to ensuring program quality. It helps to measure goals, assess outcomes and make adjustments to better serve students, families, and staff. Data collection methods range from surveys and questionnaires to focus groups and in-depth interviews. Choose the method that best fits your budget and resources. After collecting the data, be sure to review and analyze the feedback to take the necessary steps to address any issues or concerns.
- Skill-based assessments. Students attending after school programs develop a range of skills through engaging learning experiences. But, without test scores and grades to measure students’ skills and knowledge, program leaders must create unique opportunities to measure student achievement. Have students sing a song in Spanish to demonstrate foreign-language learning or run a mile to test their fitness level. To track success, use tools like digital badges or apps such as AdotME, which keep records of student achievements and milestones.
Measuring success in after school programs is a great way to garner support and drive positive results for students.

Farleys’ medical negligence team was approached by Mr and Mrs P who had suffered the tragic loss of their new-born baby due to negligence at the hospital she gave birth at.
Ms P was 38+2 weeks pregnant with her first child when she attended hospital complaining of uterine contractions/tightenings every 6 minutes and was admitted for observation. She was not referred for obstetric review despite being hypertensive and tachycardic with an elevated Modified Early Obstetric Warning Score (“MEOWS”) of 4, fetal heart rate tachycardia and identification of slowing of fetal growth on admission. She was not referred for a cardiotocography (CTG) or to the on-call obstetrician for a management plan. She was instead sent home.
Three days later, Ms P was transported to hospital in suspected advanced labour. A short while later, she gave birth to a baby girl who was unfortunately very unwell and was unable to breathe on her own. Despite numerous efforts to assist the baby to breathe on her own, the medical professionals were sadly unsuccessful and Ms P’s baby passed away.
How Farleys Were Able to Help
Mr and Mrs P and their family were understandably devastated about the loss of their new-born baby and sought answers and redress for the mistakes that were made.
Mr and Mrs P instructed Nick Molyneux of Farleys Solicitors to act on their behalf in a claim against the hospital trust for medical negligence which caused the tragic death of their baby.
The hospital trust admitted that, when Ms P had initially attended the hospital, an immediate referral to an obstetrician should have been made and had that been the case, on the balance of probabilities, her baby’s life would have been saved.
Ms P had developed significant psychological injuries as a result of her experience. Nick and his team instructed medical experts to assess the psychological impact of the incident on Ms P and any future treatment she may require to come to terms with the traumatic loss of her baby.
Nick submitted a claim which included a personal injury claim for Ms P, a claim on behalf of her baby’s estate, and a claim on behalf of herself as a dependent under the Fatal Accidents Act 1976. Court proceedings were issued and Nick negotiated a settlement for Ms P through NHS Resolution.
We successfully secured £50,000 which covered, among other things:
CBT therapy for Ms P
Funeral expenses and probate costs
Past losses in the form of baby items
A bereavement award.
During the claim process, funding was secured for Ms P to begin CBT therapy before the claim was settled.
Nick Molyneux commented,
This was an incredibly sad case where the death of a new-born baby could have been avoided. In cases like these, we know that no amount of money will truly be enough but we hope that this settlement will allow Ms P to access the treatment she needs to come to terms with her loss in her own time and provide a sense of closure for her and her family.

PITTSBURGH – Three residents and a company of Canada have been charged by Information in Pittsburgh with conspiring to distribute wholesale quantities of misbranded prescription drugs made for the foreign market and money laundering, Acting United States Attorney Soo C. Song announced today.
According to the Information, Tony Lee, Billy Lee and Tarn Uppal, all Vancouver, B.C. residents, operated Quantum Solutions, SRL (hereafter, Quantum), a company registered in Barbados. Quantum purchased prescription drugs made for foreign markets and sold wholesale quantities to three pharmacists in Western Pennsylvania. Quantum purchased the drugs from suppliers located in Turkey, Great Britain and other countries. The defendants arranged for these misbranded drugs to be sent to a re-shipper in the United Kingdom (UK). The UK re-shipper was instructed to unpack the drugs, repack them in several small packages, put misleading labeling and shipping documentation on them and understate the dollar value of the contents in order to create the appearance to U.S. Customs and Border Protection that the drugs were health care products for the personal use of the addressee. The small packages were sent to Washington State and New York State re-shippers known to the U.S. Attorney, where they were once again unpacked and repacked for delivery in the United States. Wholesale quantities of these misbranded drugs intended for use in foreign markets were purchased by three pharmacists in Western Pennsylvania. The wire transfers, checks and credit card payments from the pharmacists traveled from Western Pennsylvania to Canada and Barbados. None of the re-shippers were licensed in the United States to conduct this business. None of the prescription drugs met FDA approval because they were made and labeled for use outside of the United States. The information against Quantum seeks forfeiture of $4,235,000.
Assistant United States Attorney Nelson P. Cohen is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The United States Food and Drug Administration-Office of Criminal Investigations and the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations conducted the investigation leading to the filing of these Informations.
A criminal Information is an accusation.
A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The filing of an Information generally indicates that the defendant intends to enter a guilty plea. | <urn:uuid:4e60281c-0e48-4e95-ad8d-bec649a691da> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/press-releases/march-28-2017-3-canadians-and-their-vancouver-company-charged-conspiring-sell-foreign-made-drugs | 2023-09-28T17:42:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.955229 | 467 |

Martin, what does
“enter the next level” mean for you?
Giving it my best day in and day out, setting new challenges for myself, and acquiring new expertise each day. It means looking beyond the limits of conventional road vehicle development with FEV Racing.
In racing, you have to give it your all to ride at the front of the pack. You need to quickly make decisions that determine whether you make it or break it. So, there is a great deal of responsibility. At work, I am always taking on more responsibility in projects and on my team as I gain more trust from my supervisors. It’s an amazing feeling!
Martin started off at FEV as a student assistant and now heads projects in the area of chassis and driving dynamics. After work, he puts his knowledge to use as a team head on the FEV Racing team. His routine involves international business trips, driving dynamics tests on the test track, and weekend races at the Nürburgring.
He spends his free time with his partner and their dog, having a nice beer or catching a movie with friends, practicing Muay Thai, and enjoying track days – of course. | <urn:uuid:4b4cb32e-346a-4a0e-8a68-1f7f0d81db7c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fev.com/en/careers/introducing-fev/europe/martin.html | 2023-09-28T17:38:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.970889 | 242 |
I own a 1988 Triggs goose-neck horse trailer with living quarters and I want to change things. I need to learn about fiberglass
to see if my ideas will work. This trailer is mostly camper. It is a straight load trailer for two horses. If anyone wishes to know more details about straight load trailers I can explain more. can I make a drawing of the floor plan and post it? I would like to; at the very least change the poor design of the bathroom area and preferably the eating area too. That would mean changing a wall. A man I know that works on trailers says if he does it, it will cost more than I paid for the trailer. But he said that if he owned the trailer he would do it. He told me a few things but I am scared of doing the work. I have a bunch of questions and a Dilemma.
One question I have is about the floor. the camper section has real wood parquet flooring. I do not think it is original but I do not know. Can I just pry it up and replace it with linoleum?
Another question I have is how to add a little more 2"x6" horse strength flooring. If I make the changes I really want to make the horses will stand at an angle instead of going straight in ( called slant load). This is very popular and I think would be an advantage in my case. But that means changing the wall between the horses and the living area. The bathroom area has a nasty plain fiberglass
floor and is next to the horse area. In changing it to a slant wall I would have to use part of the bathroom area for the horses and so would have to add a small amount more of the 2x6 flooring. Can that be done? what would it take to do it? Cutting the wall loose and turning it at an angle would not be a lot of work but do able. I would have to add some to the fiberglass
wall and seal it back to the ceiling in the new place, but the flooring is what I am worried about.
I have owned this goose-neck horse trailer with living quarters for about 3 years and have used it very little. One reason is: the water and the bathroom and refrigerator
do not work. The water pump works and the water heater works but the pipes have leaks
. I can replace the old plastic pipes but if I am going to change the bathroom configuration I want to wait and do the pipes then.
I don't have much money to spend and do not know how much it would cost to do some of these things. At the very least I would like to change the eating arrangement. right now there is a bench on the right and a bench on the left with the table in between. the bathroom door is behind the table. so If someone wants to go through that door we have to disasemble the table and move it. I would like to have two seats on the left with a smaller table in between that could be lowered to make a couch/bed. but the problem I have with that is the water tank is under the left bench. I would need two smaller water tanks or some other arrangement. I am just in thinking stage right now. | <urn:uuid:4f3f5672-e925-4561-a0b1-c3150e786917> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f91/triggs-owner-66867.html | 2023-09-28T17:33:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.979184 | 673 |

A significant bequest by the late Emeritus Professor Peter Holland has paved the way to an exciting new postgraduate scholarship at the University of Canterbury (UC) for Māori and/or Pasifika students in Ecology or Environmental Science. Two scholarships worth $21,000 a year are available, with applications now open for study in 2021.
The Stan and Jessie Holland Memorial Scholarship in Ecology or Environmental Science is being offered by the university for the first time in 2021, with one available to a Master’s student (one year tenure) and one to a PhD student, (up to three year tenure). Postgraduate students of Māori and/or Pasifika descent are invited to apply through the Scholarships website by 1 November.
Professor Holland was a leading expert in biogeography and environmental change, whose academic studies began at UC, where he graduated with a Master’s degree in 1963. After completing a PhD in Australia, he travelled and worked extensively around the world before resuming his academic career in New Zealand, at UC and the University of Otago. Aotearoa’s changing landscapes were of key interest and he had a long association with the New Zealand Geographical Society, which recognised him with an Honorary Life Fellowship in 2013. Colleagues fondly remember the professor, who was highly regarded by both students and staff.
His generous scholarship bequest, now poised to make a material difference to Māori and Pasifika students studying Ecology and Environmental Science at UC, reinforces his legacy as both a teacher and distinguished researcher.
For UC Professor Bronwyn Hayward, who was lucky enough to study with Professor Holland as an undergraduate student in geography in Otago, the bequest revives memories of a man who was a warm and enthusiastic teacher.
“While he worked in physical geography, his interest was also very much in communities and how cross-cultural understandings about other ways of seeing problems and issues can help us,” says Professor Hayward, Director Hei Puāwaitanga: Sustainable Development & Civic Imagination.
Even towards the end of his life, she says he never stopped working or supporting other scholars and was still writing papers, including collegial research aimed at unravelling the factors that help communities and young people cope with disasters and risk.
“I find it deeply moving and inspiring that he left a significant legacy to help a new young generation of students to learn skills and knowledge that can prepare them for difficult challenges that both they and future generations will face.”
The sentiments are echoed by UC academic staff researching and teaching today in the same disciplines that dominated Professor Holland’s life work.
“The Stan and Jessie Holland Memorial Scholarship in Ecology and Environmental Science for Māori and Pasifika postgraduate students is an exciting initiative,” says Associate Professor Sally Gaw, UC Director of Environmental Science and Associate Professor in Environmental Chemistry. “We look forward to welcoming more Māori and Pasifika students into postgraduate environmental research projects.”
Professor Holland’s bequest is set to lift UC’s national and international research profile, and will also positively impact on long-term academic development, says UC’s Assistant Vice-Chancellor Māori/Amokapua Maori, Dr Darryn Russell. “It is a thoughtful gift that fosters the University’s ethos of excellence, relevance and impact along with kotahitanga, and will make a significant contribution to UC’s resolve in addressing global sustainability challenges.” | <urn:uuid:a058472e-390d-4e8e-beae-26eecd0531a2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.findworldedu.com/2020/new-science-scholarship-a-pathway-for-future-maori-and-pasifika-academics.html | 2023-09-28T16:37:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.957727 | 731 |

As MacArthur and the other senior Allied officers adjourned to Halsey’s cabin for coffee and cinnamon rolls, Foreign Minister Shigemitsu and Toshikazu Kase stepped forward to inspect the Japanese copy of the surrender document. They noted that one of the signatories, L. Moore Cosgrave of Canada, had signed on the wrong line. Three other Allied representatives, following Cosgrave, had each signed one line down, so that their signatures did not match.

Wage theft – the practice of employers withholding rightful pay or benefits owed to their employees – has been illegal in the United States since 1938, when Congress passed and Franklin Roosevelt signed into law the landmark Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This federal law, which FDR himself called the “most important Act” of New Deal legislation since Social Security was created, is the reason that Americans have a minimum guaranteed wage at all. According to the FLSA, if your boss denies you money or benefits that you rightfully earned, you may sue him or her in federal court and receive your stolen back-pay, and in some cases, additional “liquidated” damages.
Maybe you can already spot the problem here: why should you have to file a lawsuit in the first place? Shouldn’t there be some mechanism, some regulation, to help ensure that employers stay on the “straight and narrow,” something that gives them a greater incentive not to steal their employees’ earnings than a hypothetical future lawsuit?
New York State has attempted to deal with this problem in a few ways. In effect, New York has a legal regime that requires employees to be informed about the wages they are due under the law. The thinking is clear: an employee who is knowledgeable about their rights and about the obligations of their employer is an employee who is less likely to be taken advantage of. New York’s labor laws thus work in conjunction with the FLSA to prevent employers from illicit wage alterations (read: stealing) and further provide employees with a civil “cause of action” (the ability to file a lawsuit) in case the employer decides to do so anyway.
On December 13, 2010, New York signed into law the Wage Theft Prevention Act (WTPA). The law went into effect on April 9, 2011, and required employers to inform their employees in a few different ways. Let’s take a look at one provision of the law, an important one, mandating that employees receive detailed information about their pay at a few specific times during their employment.
First, as per the WTPA, employees must be informed, in writing, about the following: their rate of pay (including their overtime rate – overtime pay is guaranteed by the FLSA and New York’s laws), how they are to be paid (hourly, weekly, etc.), their payday, the legal name, address, and phone number of their employer, and any deductions or allowances the employer is legally allowed to take (this is usually at issue for employees who receive a portion of their wages in tips). The employer has to inform them on two occasions, one of which is recurring: on or shortly after they are hired, and “on or before February first of each subsequent year of the employee’s employment.” Under the regulations covering restaurants and hotels, the employer must also inform its employees in writing whenever the employer changes their rates of pay. If an employer fails to provide these notices, the employee may sue them for the violation.
These rules, coupled with a few others beyond the purview of this blog post, go a long way toward encouraging employers not to even attempt to play games with owed wages: their employees have a piece of paper to inform and remind them of the monies they are owed. Two recent decisions, though, both issued in the federal courts of New York’s Southern District, have revealed a possible loophole in the new law: what if you were employed before April 9, 2011, the day the law took effect? Does that void your right to sue if you do not receive a notice at the appropriate times?
Two courts have answered this question in two different ways. In Guan Ming Lin v. Benihana New York Corp. (2012 WL 7620734), the plaintiffs, employees of various New York City-based Haru restaurants, sued the Japanese restaurant chain’s owners, claiming (among other things) that they never received proper wage notices. The problem? The plaintiffs had begun their work at Haru prior to the enactment of the WTPA. The question for the court, then, was do employees who were employed prior to April 9, 2011 have a claim if they do not receive a wage notice? After all, the employees had at one point been hired – why should they be excluded from the suing for not receiving a notice, while newly hired employees would can bring a suit when they do not receive such notice at the time of hiring?
According to the Ming Lin court, the prior-hired employees are out of luck. The court, purporting to be relying on the “plain language” of the law, found that the right to a wage notice was only created by New York law on April 9, 2011, and as such, if you were hired before this right existed, you have to wait around another year (“prior to February first”) before your boss has to provide you with detailed information about your pay.
If this seems unfair to you – if it seems contrary to the purposes of the WTPA and divides workers up arbitrarily into two classes, with different rights – you aren’t the only one. The court in Cuzco v. F&J Steaks 37th Street LLC (2014 WL 2210615) came to a different conclusion, finding that “the [New York] legislature could not have intended to confer a private right of action upon new employees, while depriving existing employees of the same right.” The court continued: “That result would make little sense in light of the legislature’s intent in enacting the WTPA: to expand the rights of all employees.” As such, even employees who were employed on April 9, 2011 could sue if they did not receive the required wage notices.
So, two different courts, two different views of what employees have a right to wage notices, and when they have a right to them. While this is frustrating in that it puts this aspect of the law in a state of uncertainty, it also sheds some light on the way different judges read laws differently. The Ming Lin court claimed to focus only on the language of the law, on the “plain meaning” of the words at issue. In contrast, the Cuzco court took into account what the WTPA as a whole meant to accomplish, the protections it granted workers, and generally what the legislature intended to compel employers to provide. Since the WTPA is clearly a law aimed at protecting workers, the Cuzco court didn’t put much stock into the idea that it excluded such a large contingent of employees from wage notice requirements.
Regardless, know this: if you were hired after April 9, 2011, you have a statutory right to wage notice at the time of that hiring, and in each subsequent year of employment. If you were hired before this date, at the very least you have a right to detailed wage information at each further year you’re employed. Also, if you work for a restaurant or hotel, you must receive a notice whenever your rate of pay changes. If you feel like your employer isn’t complying, speak to an attorney – it’s your right. | <urn:uuid:2672e904-7f12-4c6e-ab25-bf1b194b4fb6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fishertaubenfeld.com/blog/2014/06/when-does-your-boss-have-to-provide-you-with-detailed-wage-information-under-new-york-law-the-answer/ | 2023-09-28T16:45:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.975508 | 1,484 |
BETTER MANAGEMENT OF SCOTLAND’S VALUABLE SALMON FISHERIES Published: 12 November, 2008
An independent group which will produce an action plan to safeguard the long-term future of salmon fishing in Scotland met for the first time today.
The inaugural meeting of the mixed stock salmon fisheries working group in Edinburgh was chaired by former Scottish Agriculture Secretary David Crawley.
All of the main organisations with an interest in mixed stock fisheries are represented on the group. It will review all aspects of mixed stock fisheries, identifying the impact on management and conservation, and making recommendations based on evidence and good practice.
The group is to examine concerns about the number of wild salmon returning to spawn in particular rivers, and look at options for better management of stocks. It will prepare a report by the end of 2009.
Welcoming the initiative, which arises from the sector-produced Strategic Framework for Scottish Freshwater, Fisheries Secretary Richard Lochhead said:
“Salmon fishing is extremely important to the Scottish economy currently valued at over £120 million and supporting almost three thousand jobs. It is one of the many important industries that are the lifeblood of the rural economy.
“Salmon fisheries attract substantial numbers of tourists who support local hotels shops, they also contribute through scarce rural employment to ancillary transport and manufacturing businesses.
“That is exactly why we are taking decisive action to safeguard its long-term future. In such a testing economic climate, we must do everything we can to help our hard-pressed rural businesses develop sustainably.
“We are determined to maximise jobs, invest in business and ensure our economy is well-positioned for recovery.
“I am grateful to David Crawley for leading this review which aims to clarify the situation surrounding mixed stock fisheries in Scotland.
“This project forms a vital part in delivering the Strategic Framework for Scottish Freshwater Fisheries and I look forward to receiving the final report which should contribute greatly to sustaining this important sector.”
Mr Crawley said:
“I am delighted to be working with representatives of those who take part in mixed stock salmon fishing for enjoyment or income or both. We aim to find the evidence and come up with the solutions which will help secure this iconic Scottish fishery for the future”. | <urn:uuid:512951be-734f-48e4-a0fd-c1582febbc87> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fishfarmermagazine.com/archive-2/better-management-of-scotlands-valuable-salmon-fisheries-fishupdate-com/ | 2023-09-28T18:50:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.930708 | 475 |
