Have heard that the weather in the Western US states is not good, floods and
very heavy snow. I hope all our iris friends are OK.
We're in the mid of summer heat, after a fairly cool start. 40oC today but
very low humidity. The unusal rain we had in earlt December has even started
some early rebloom. I wish ANXIOUS was as anxious to look pretty as it is to
bloom, great rebloomer but form and colour not that great.

The most exciting discovery we made was the Arthur Avenue Retail Market, a cavernous arena with dozens of vendors of fresh vegetables and fruits such as figs, tomatoes, peppers, fennel and other specialties used in Italian cooking. There is Mike's Deli, which is chock-full of Italian cured meats, cheeses and olives. Other vendors offer Italian pottery and cookware, drinks, olive oil, pasta, plants and flowers, pastries and more. Wandering from booth to booth, hearing the sounds of spoken Italian, it really feels as if you're in a marketplace in Italy.
Along the avenue are many small stores selling cheese, bread, dried beans, meats, seafood and other Italian delicacies. It's fun just to walk up and down and poke your nose inside. On a nearby street, we discovered Addeo Bakers, where we bought some breads and Italian cookies.
At dinnertime, we found two crowded restaurants with authentic Italian cooking, Dominick's and Roberto's. I'm sure we would have had a terrific meal at either place, but we ended up at Roberto's because the wait was shorter. Our dinner was reminiscent of dining in Italy, with grilled octopus and antipasto for starters, mozzarella and basil, zuppe di pesce, penne with vodka sauce, pasta with prosciutto, and more. For the faint-hearted, there's an Arthur Avenue McDonald's down the street, but that would defeat the purpose of visiting this great neighborhood.
If you yearn for Italian products but just can't make it to Arthur Avenue, a new website - www.arthuravespecialties.com - may satisfy your cravings. It's the brainchild of Frank Maselli, a Yonkers resident. If you place your order for meats, cheeses, pasta, olives, bread or seafood, he will personally visit the Arthur Avenue area, make the best selection, and ship it to you the next day.
Where to find it Arthur Avenue Retail Market, 2344 Arthur Avenue. Open 7am-6pm daily.
Mike's Deli, 2344 Arthur Avenue, (718) 295-5033.
Addeo Bakers, 2352 Arthur Avenue, (718) 367-8888.
Arthur Avenue Bakery, 2413 Arthur Avenue, (718) 365-8860.
Dominick's, 2335 Arthur Avenue, (718) 733-2807.
Roberto's, 632 Crescent Avenue (186th Street and Belmont Avenue), (718) 733-9503.

Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity. They all diffused in the region: Conquest. Voluntary conversion. Migration. Proselytization. Two major religions have their hearths close to Pacific Asia.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 1. Religions ■ Religious diversity Simplistically: Buddhism in the north and Islam in the south. The outcome of endogenous and exogenous influences. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity are of external origins: Less the case for Hinduism and Buddhism. Diffused the region under different eras and circumstances. Traditional Chinese (Confucianism) and Shinto: Indigenous religions with adaptations from Buddhism.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 1. Religions HinduismBuddhismIslamChristianity Polytheistic; more than 333,000 gods (Devas): Part of Brahman; one ultimate reality. Trinity of Brahma (creator), Vishnu (preserver of good and order) and Shiva (destruction and creation). Reform of Hinduism; a religion, a philosophy, an ideology.

2. Rice ■ Major farming and settlement patterns Swidden in the uplands: Shifting agriculture or "slash and burn".slash and burn Vegetation is burned to transfer nutrients to the soil. Plots are planted in until soil nutrients are exhausted. Plots are abandoned an vegetation and returns to its original form (takes at least 10 years). Sustainable when populations are small and stable. Rice in the lowlands: Irrigation systems. Fixed large quantities of labor in the countryside. Plantation agriculture: Began with European colonization. Often located on coasts because of the need to transport overseas. Products like rice, rubber, cane sugar, tea, pineapple, and copra.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Rice ■ Rice and society Deep economic, cultural and social influence. Why rice in Asia? Rice originates in Southeast Asia. Most productive form of agriculture. Limited amount of flat land. Asia produces about 90% of all the rice in the world: China and India: 50%. Asia's top 10 produce 86%. Staple food of several cultures: Cultural and religious significance. Many cultures have legends where rice is linked with their creation. Chinese: "she fan" means "to eat" as well as "to eat rice"; "Fan Dian" means "restaurant" is well as a "place where rice is served". Japanese: "Gohan" means "rice" as well as a "meal".
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue World's Largest Rice Producers, 2004
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Land Suitable for Rice Production, Pacific Asia Irregular water flow; discrepancies in rice cultivation.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Share of Agricultural Land Irrigated Storage and distribution of surpluses. Irrigation canals, reservoirs and terrace paddy fields.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Rice ■ Paddy fields 85% of all the rice produced in the world is in paddy fields: From the Malay word "padi" which means "rice". Massive amount of labor required: 1,000 hours of work per hectare. Field preparation, dike mending, transplanting, weeding and harvesting. Terrace paddy fields.Terrace paddy fields Flooded fields enclosed by small walls. Flooded fields Highly productive because nutrients dissolved in water: 5,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of rice. 50% of paddy fields are irrigated by rainfall. 35% of paddy fields are irrigated artificially. Possibility of 1, 2 or 3 crops of rice per year: Depending of rainfall and temperature. Alternance wheat (winter) and rice (summer / monsoon). Also used as fish ponds.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Rice ■ Rice growing cycle 1- Sowing seeds: In small seedbeds (avoid weeds) for about 60 days. Prepare (plow) the fields.plow 2- Transplantation: Hand transplant the seedlings into flooded fields.Hand transplant Rice grains are ready for harvest in 3 to 6 months. 3- Harvest: Dry the field. Harvest rice with sickles or knives, tie it in bundles, and let it dry in the field.Harvest rice 4- Grain preparation: Remove the grain from the plant. Dry the grain.Dry the grain 1 2 3

Crafted into rope, hats, shoes, etc. Molded in bricks and made into paper. Bran Pressed into oil to make soap and cosmetics. Nutritional additive (fiber). Hull Packing and insulation. Fuel.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Population Density and Ecumene Very high density; wet rice cultivation. Limited ecumene (continuously settled area). Distribution along river deltas and irrigated areas. East Asia: Coastal plains. Ethnic homogeneity. Southeast Asia: Separation of communities by mountain ranges. Ethnic diversity. Minorities often living in higher and less fertile locations.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Conventional Cycle of Population Growth More labor for rice production Support for population growth Wet rice agriculture Irrigation Cycle High infant mortality rate Preference for sons
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 3. Demography ■ Altitudinal ethnic stratification Prevalent in Monsoon Asia, especially Southeast Asia.

© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 3. Demography ■ Demographic transition Process of demographic growth: Particularly after WWII. Huge increase in population. Demographic growth is slowing down: Significant declines in fertility observed across the board. Economic and social modernization of the region (age of marriage). Various population planning policies. Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong: Currently experiencing great decreases in their birth rates. Their fertility rates are below replacement rate. South Korea has the lowest fertility in the world (2005). People's Republic of China: Government policy has lead the way to lower birth rates. Imposed a "One Child Policy" ( ).

© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 3. Demography ■ Agriculture and collectivism Asia tends to have a higher degree of collectivism. A major explanatory factor is the intensity of agriculture: Requires cooperative land management, notably irrigation systems. Settlements tend to be nucleated with villages surrounded by fields. Cooperation at its peak during planting and harvesting. This social structure pervades today: The needs of the collectivity surpasses the needs of the individuals. Social order with duties. Most Pacific-Asian countries are still heavily rural.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Percentage of Agricultural Population, 2003
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 3. Demography ■ Role of children A reflection of dominantly rural societies. Multidimensional role: Continuity of the family name (males). A direct link to ancestors. Inheritance of family property, notably farmland. Agricultural labor (in the field by the age of 7 or 8 years). Take care of parents in old age (limited social security). Rural areas tend to have high levels of fertility: Maximizes the chances of having a son and of survival. Daughters are increasingly sent to the cities to work in factories. Child labor: 15% of 7-14 years old work in fields or factories.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Percentage of Economically Active Children Aged 7-14
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 4. Social Problems ■ Gender issues in rural areas Acute gender differences in rural societies. Unequal access to education, health care and employment: 70% of the world's poor are women. Often not qualified as work in the fields, but as "help". Women's products: Small animals of low value (chickens, goats and pigs). Vegetables and roots. For subsistence. Plant, weed and harvest. Man's products: Large high value animals (horses and cattle). Grains and tree products. For cash. Prepare fields for cultivation.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Percentage above 15 years Literate, 2005
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 4. Social Problems ■ Gender issues in urban areas Majority of recent migrants are women. Left the countryside to work in manufacturing and service industries (particularly in China): Send remittances back home. Often more an asset than the son. Transposition of gender issues in the modern workplace: Even in advanced societies (Japan, Korea). Woman fulfilling clerical functions. Expectation to work until getting married and then assume the traditional child raising function.

Boomed after World War II: Rising prosperity in developed countries. Development of tourism. Poverty, conflicts and natural disasters. Commodification of sex by the pornography industry. Establishment of American military bases (R&R). Complex networks of abductions, trafficking and bondage (debt): 2 million girls (aged 5 to15) introduced into the sex industry each year. Replace overworked, sick or dead prostitutes. A prostitute gets $10,000-$15,000 of debt to work in Australia.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 4. Social Problems The "value" of a prostitute drops with her age. Child prostitution: About 1 million in Asia. 800,000 children working in the sex industry in Thailand. Average age: 10 to 14. "Mail-order bride": 100,000 – 150,000 women a year advertise themselves for marriage.marriage About 10,000 available on the Internet at any time. Mainly from Southeast Asia and Russia. Come from places in which jobs and educational opportunities for women are scarce and wages are low.

Bangkok2 ■ Sex tourism Mainly Europeans, Americans, Australians, Saudi Arabians and Japanese. Either informal or organized by sex travel agencies. Seek exotic, submissive, obedient woman not contaminated by feminism. Saigon Bangkok Manila Taipei
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 4. Social Problems ■ Missing female population About 165 million females are missing from Asian population (2005). Normal ratio at birth is about 100 girls to 105 boys. Boys are weaker and the ratio evens out after 5 years. Since 1900 the ratio has been declining, especially after Particularly the case for China and India (0-4 age group): China accounts for about 60 million missing females; India for 25 million. 1990: 110 boys per 100 girls. 1995: 118 boys per 100 girls. 2000: 119 boys per 100 girls. Ratios even higher for second and third child. Problems exacerbated by declining fertility and growing standards of living.

© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 4. Social Problems ■ Gender roles and the missing female population Sons are perceived as an asset: Farm work. Security for old age (no social security in several countries). Take over the family name. Sons get better health care, food and schooling. 100% of them must find a bride and produce an heir. One of the greatest Confucian sins is not to have male descendants. In China, the birth of a boy is labeled as "big happiness" while the birth of a girl is labeled as "small happiness". Daughters are perceived as a liability: Marry and leave home to provide labor to another family. Dowries are often to be paid.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 4. Social Problems ■ Causes of the missing female population High female mortality in infancy or childhood: Preferential treatment for boys; better food and health care. Infanticide. Excess female mortality in utero: Sex-selective abortion. 500,000 and 750,000 unborn Chinese girls are aborted every year after sex screening. Net out-migration of female children: International adoptions.International adoptions Abandon; Orphanage are strictly populated by girls. Sex-selective undercount of children: Daughters are not declared. No education provided by the state. "Sold" / "rented" as a factory worker, wife or prostitute.

© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 4. Social Problems ■ Consequences of the missing female population Demographic "backlash": May help achieve demographic stability. Fast decline in fertility. Fast decline of population growth and then of absolute population. About 35 million men forced to be bachelors by 2020 (25 million in India); "bare branches". Social consequences: Limit the advancement of women in society. The "value" of females will increase considerably in the future: Millions of men will not be able to find a wife. Changes in the economics of marriage. Inverted dowry; "Bride prices" are becoming more common (about $4,000 in China). Daughters increasingly an asset for industrial work.

Development Factors What were the major reasons behind the success of many Pacific Asian countries? 3. Development Problems What are some specific development problems the region is facing?
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 1. From Ashes to Riches ■ Geopolitical instability Around 1950, Pacific Asia was in ruins with limited development prospects. Almost the whole continent was at war, revolution or under famine between 1930 and ■ China: A Difficult Start Wars: 20 million Chinese killed during the war with Japan ( ) and the civil wars ( ; ). China tried to invade Vietnam in China - USSR border clashes ( ). Demagogy: 40 million died of starvation during the "Great Leap Forward" ( ). Around 10 million killed during the Cultural Revolution ( ).
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 1. From Ashes to Riches ■ Southeast Asia Indochina War ( ): Involved guerrilla between Communists and non-Communists, including France and the United States. France pulled out in United States pulled out in Hundred of thousands of refugees. Indonesia: Invasion of East Timor in Ethnic clashes: –Around 500,000 ethnic Chinese were killed in 1965 during a failed coup in Indonesia. Genocide: About 1 million Cambodians (15-20% of the population) were killed by the Khmers Rouges between 1975 and 1978.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 1. From Ashes to Riches ■ Regional conditions (1960) Low levels of development: Limited infrastructures (WWII, Civil/Liberation Wars, Colonialism). Political instability (e.g. Cold War). Low educational levels. Limited capital. Comparisons: Africa might have been better off than Pacific Asia. Japan had income 1/8 of the US. South Korea and Taiwan as poor as Sudan and Zaire (DR Congo). China was three times poorer than Taiwan. Hong Kong was a struggling, cheap labor-oriented colony facing massive influxes of refugees from China.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 1. From Ashes to Riches ■ Accelerated development From the 1950s, economic development accelerated: Led to the biggest accumulation of wealth in human history. Fastest rise in incomes for the largest number of people ever recorded. Labeled "The Asian Miracle" by the World Bank. Between 1970 and 1990: Number of very poor persons fell from 400 million to 180 million in East Asia. Population climbed by 425 million. Around 650 million people escaped poverty. Africa failed: Its combined GDP in 2000 was less than Switzerland.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 1. From Ashes to Riches ■ Waves of Pacific Asian Development First Wave, 1950s (Japan). Second Wave, 1960s (The Four Dragons). Third Wave, 1970s (Malaysia, Thailand, China and Indonesia). Fourth Wave, 1980s (The Philippines and Vietnam). Fifth Wave, 1990s (Growth and recession). ■ China reclaiming its historical share 25-30% of global GDP Japan WWII Korean War Four Dragons Great Leap Forward Vietnam War Cultural Rev.

© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Development Factors ■ United States Initial role: Marshall Plan also applied in Asia after WWII. South Korea and Taiwan would not have survived without the support of the United States. Between 5 and 10% of the GDP in foreign aid in the 1950s. Direct aid ended at the beginning of the 1960s. Freed internal financial capacity and promoted savings. Contemporary role: The United States has become an important market for Asian products. Supporting of the export-oriented development.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Development Factors ■ High savings rates Related to the availability of local investment capital. Savings were preferred over consumption. Ranges around 20 to 30% of GDP. Many societies offer little if any social security: Responsibility of the individual / family to cover expanses such as health care, education and retirement. Government mandatory saving and insurance policies. The average American has an income of about $40,000 a year: The personal savings rate is about 1% (negative in 2006). The average Chinese earns around $1,500 per year: The personal savings of 45% of his income. A poor Chinese saves more than a wealthy American.

© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue National Savings Rates (as % of GDP), 2001
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Development Factors ■ Abundance of labor Numbers do not guarantee industrialization, but an advantage in labor intensive activities. Demographic growth helped maintain low labor costs: Exports are more competitive. Foreign investment is attracted. Productivity often grows faster than wages. Usage of women labor: In the manufacturing sector. Notably years old. Often account between 40 and 50% of labor. Lower wages and more disciplined.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Hourly Compensation in Manufacturing, 2004 ($US)
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Development Factors ■ Globalization Development models vary greatly in the region. Diversity of economic and political systems. Convergence towards the capitalist model. Pacific Asia took advantage of the emerging global economy: Opening of foreign markets. Liberalization of trade. Export-oriented development. Significant improvements in the welfare of the population. Development of international transportation: Pacific Asia accessible a lower costs. Containerization.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Share of World Goods Exports, Selected Countries,
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Development Factors ■ Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) Capital investments by foreign interests (mostly private). Related to the speed of development. Massive transfers of technology and investment. FDI are mostly undertaken as joint-ventures: The foreign firm often provides capital and technology. The Asian firm provides labor and raw materials. About 60% of FDIs are occurring in the manufacturing sector. United States and Japan: Account for more than 50% of FDIs. Japan massively investing in China; lower production costs. China accounts for 50% of all FDIs going to developing countries.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Value of Chinese Exports and Received FDI, (Billions of $US)
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Development Factors ■ Sub-contracting High production / labor costs in developed countries: Corporations looking at ways to reduce costs and compete. A increasing share of production is done by sub-contracting. Transfer of a manufacturing process. ■ Technology transfers Mostly done by licensing (Taiwan, South Korea): A firm has the authorization to use a technology. Pays a royalty. Several technologies "stolen". Software and industrial process piracy. Asian countries have become innovators: Japan and the Tigers first. China: substantial potential for innovation.

© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Value of an iPhone 3G Components and Labor, 2009
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Development Factors ■ Government and industrial development Asian governments tend to be of small size: Lower taxation on the society; less social safety nets. Notable exceptions; China, Vietnam. Often account for less than 20% of GDP (about 45-50% for the US). Involvement of the government: Defines the strategic orientation of the economy; Favor export-oriented strategies. Developing projects and providing financing (preferential loans). Favor trade-related infrastructure projects. Significant regulatory involvement (misallocations and some corruption). Special economic zones: Enclave where foreign corporations are given specific privileges (mainly taxation). Attract foreign investments, new industrial activities and technologies. Hong Kong is a free trade zone since 1841.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 2. Development Factors ■ Confucianism Important imprint in most Pacific Asian societies. Basis of most social structures, especially in the Chinese world. Main values: Hard work as a symbol of achievement. Thriftiness. Obedience to authority and respect of hierarchy. Benevolent leadership. Consensus, harmony and common interest. Education as a tool of social promotion. Possible to make accept difficult living conditions to justify future development. Its importance is argued.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Development Factors (Synopsis) Factor United States Initial role (1950s). Marshall Plan. Financial support. Military protection (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan). Major market outlet. Savings High saving rates (about 30% of GDP). Availability of national capital. Labor Large labor pool. Wages kept relatively low. Reliance on women. Development of skills through education. Globalization Increased participation to international trade. Lower tariffs. Lower transport costs. Foreign direct investments Transfers of production and manufacturing capacities. Mainly from Japan and the United States. Joint ventures. Transfer of technology. Sub-contracting Access to foreign markets. Government Special economic zones. Export-oriented development strategies. Mandatory savings. Confucianism Social order. Work ethics. Consensus. Respect of authority. Its role is argued.

Two crisis: Financial crisis of Financial crisis of ■ The Asian Financial crisis of The bursting of a bubble, mainly based on real estate. Exacerbation of social problems. Inequalities. Loss of spending power. Especially true in countries depending on imports (Indonesia). Political unrest (fall of the Suharto government in 1998).
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 3. Development Problems ■ The role of governments Governments regulate massively their economy: Industrial control; the appeal of an export-oriented strategy. Preferential loans. Informal "Black" market: Avoid government regulation creating artificial scarcity. Corruption: Where there is government there are misallocations. Corruption is a form of misallocation (using public power to regulate, coerce and confiscate). Corruption becomes a source of income for low paid bureaucrats. Cronyism (favoritism shown to friends and associates). Lack of transparency. "Hidden clauses" often account for up to 30% of the amount of a contract. Weak legal systems leaving limited recourse. Institutions did not develop with the economy.
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Corruption Perception Index, Selected Countries, 2006 (10 = the least corrupt)
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 3. Development Problems ■ The currency leverage game ( ) Systematic positive export balance: Increase of the value of a national currency. Eventually exports slow down has they become more expensive. Asian currencies should have increased substantially. Maintaining the exports: Continue the export-oriented system. Japan and Korea bought large amounts of US securities to recycle their foreign reserves (T-bills, bonds, stocks, etc.). China pegged its currency (Yuan) to the US dollar at 8.2 and also purchased US securities. Inflated US assets (housing) and kept consumers buying. Transfer of wealth from the West to the East.

© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue Major Foreign Holders of U.S. Treasury Securities, 2008
© Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue 3. Development Problems ■ The limits of the export-oriented model Pacific Asian development strongly dependent on exports to North American and European markets: A form of "neo-mercantilism". Correlated ("coupled") with the dynamics of these markets. Decoupling thesis: Development of an internal market. Less dependency with North America and Europe. A business cycle with a large bust phase that began in 2008: Sharp drop in exports (China, Korea and Japan). The decoupling thesis turned out to be inaccurate. The export-oriented model is being questioned.

1. Historically, Binaries have been short lived, except for Usana, which did not start out as a binary.
2. Binaries have had problems with regulators, often drawing huge fines or settlements, e.g., BigSmart ($5,000,000)
3. Binaries are often built anonymously through automated systems that do not lead to the development of personal relationships
4. In a binary, the company is betting against the field: the very premise of the Binary Comp Plan is that distributors do not qualify.
In fact, binaries live off of "breakage", which is all the percentages written into a comp plan but not paid out because distributors do not qualify.
This money is kept by the company. Even in cases where the binary company claims to pay out fully its comp plan, it caps maximum earnings throughout its gene tree, keeping the money to be partially distributed in large cash giveaways.
Others claim to pay out fully, simply by earmarking amounts to be paid out later, thus creating a rolling (revolving) promise of pay out, which keeps on working as long as there is strong growth, and collapses when there is the slightest lull.
If most of the distributors were to qualify then…
a. either the company would go out of business, or
b. the profits in the field would be so widely spread out that the appeal of a select few making huge amounts, would not exist, which leads us to:
. In a binary, the field leadership (leaders and big hitters) are building power legs as fast as possible, in other words, they are controlling spillover in a way to benefit them at the expense of their downline, thus making the appeal of spillover a myth at best, and at worst, an outward lie. Binaries pay out on your weak leg, not on your strong or power leg, therefore by definition, you do not build your success on the success of others, but you try to balance something that will naturally never be balanced.
6. Because of lop-sided income structures, binaries are associated to "get rich quick schemes". But even payouts which favor heavily big hitters don't last in binaries. Binaries use a system called factoring which, for lack of a better word, allows them to factor in changes in growth. When revenue trends change suddenly, the income of big hitters can be drastically reduced, and then the latter flee with their automated sponsoring system, accelerating the downfall of the company.
7. Binaries have been historically used by companies that have sold over-priced services (e.g., phone cards that gave 20 cents value on the dollar, thus in reality being disguised money chains.)
8. Real growth is based on Pareto's Law: the 80/20 rule, which holds that only 20% of the people will do the work. Binaries claim to be able to get around this, that is why participants in binaries can be heard saying: "I almost made $32,739 last month."
"And how much did you wind up making?"
"Well, I really made only $287… But wait until I balance next month!"
No chance really, against an automated system building down one leg.
9. Binaries are usually built on hype, with huge cash giveaways in order to lure people based on the greed factor. The product becomes an excuse. They often create copycat products of already existing and legitimate products. The negative side of this is that they also taint legitimate businesses.
10. Binaries, because they most often use automated sponsoring systems, wind up giving a bad name to legitimate organizations who use automated systems within the confines of a sound compensation plan.
11. Binaries lead you to purchase multiple "business centers", in order to "maximize" your earnings potential. What this really does, is prompt front loading products (according to regulators, this means purchasing more of the same product that you and your family can reasonably consume within a certain period). Both State (AG's) as well as Federal (FTC) Regulators are concerned that this is a borderline, and often outright infringement on anti-pyramid laws.
12. Binaries redefine who they consider as distributors, often disregarding more than 90% of their distributor base, simply according to their own invented criteria to make it more difficult to be considered a distributor, such as minimum volume, period of activity, having already sponsored someone, or even already having received a commission check based on downline production.
Binaries thus consider more than 90% of the people who signed a "distributor application and agreement" with them as wholesale customers, thus allowing binaries to misrepresent average earnings, thus skewing results by more than 90%.
13. Thorough analysis of most binaries show that only a handful make considerable income, while between 98% to upwards of 99% of distributors do not even make in commissions what they pay in on a monthly basis.
The success of network marketing is also due to its viral acceleration of economic change: the best example of upward mobility.
The success of network marketing has nonetheless been tainted by the behavior of certain "clever" companies/distributors who sought even faster success, often at the expense of the reputation of network marketing. They came up with the binary compensation plan.
Be wary of compensation plans that use the words "cap", maximize your earnings", and "you can make up to".

Write Articles Faster with Speech to Text Programs
Technology these days is growing so fast and it can help us as a blogger or as writers for online readerships to write more articles and to spread our name. One of these technology available as the speech to text recognition programs. On the Mac it is installed already on your computer, but on the windows, you may need to download a special program which is called the Nuance naturally speaking.
Using a computer program to type out what you speak To make writing a long article very fast. To test out this theory, this article you're reading now written by myself is in fact written by the Macintosh speech to text function that is installed in all Apple Computers, free of charge.
At the beginning and might seem like a hassle to write an article with a program, but after learning the shortcuts such as the punctuation, you will soon realise that writing a long article can take only a few minutes. This is because the speed that we can talk as much faster than we can type out an article. As you can see there are very little errors and only a few minor problems that I may need to go over when I proof read this article. The errors were only come in the form of a non-recognition of the word that I am saying but it would never be a problem with spelling or grammar because the computer is typing up each word and spelling would not be a problem.
This makes making a hub on Hubpages extremely easy. While I am typing this article through the speech to text recognition program this article has only taken me about two minutes so far up to this stage. The most helpful aspect of this program is the fact that I only need to speak and I don't need to read or write anything, which leaves your hands on eyes free to rest. I love typing articles but one of the problems I find after work, having use my eyes the whole day, is that they are very tired from looking at the computer screen the entire day. This is where this program can come in handy because I do not need to use my eyes and I can essentially write an article just with my voice. On average most people won't be put to type up to 40 words minutes, but the same people can easily speak up to 60 to even 100 words a minute. As you can see speaking is much faster way of medium to write an article.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
"In this session, the student and I went through his homework assignments, and I clarified for him the grammar points that were being covered. Looking ahead, I introduced him to new grammar topics that we would be learning the next week in class. He has made tremendous progress since I began working with him. He is becoming much more independent and is able to do most of the work on his own. It was an excellent session."
"Today we went over several of the student's online assignments. We studied the uses of present-tense and past-tense verbs and personal pronouns. For the next session, I plan to bring a reference chart so she quickly can determine in which context to use each personal pronoun."
"We covered the 'se' impersonal and using 'se' for unplanned events. The student was not struggling with anything. She has a good grasp on the material we covered. She is a quick learner!"

English Meaning
The expanded upper end of the windpipe or trachea, connected with the hyoid bone or cartilage. It contains the vocal cords, which produce the voice by their vibrations, when they are stretched and a current of air passes between them. The larynx is connected with the pharynx by an opening, the glottis, which, in mammals, is protected by a lidlike epiglottis.
- The part of the respiratory tract between the pharynx and the trachea, having walls of cartilage and muscle and containing the vocal cords enveloped in folds of mucous membrane.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I crochet and craft frequently, and was thinking about starting an online shop where I'd sell patterns of my own design and the occasional finished product. Estimated yearly sales would be less than 500.00 dollars. Do I need to file for tax permits at this low level? Are there other forms I need to complete? If there is not paperwork to be filed, what is the threshold income that I would need to file for paperwork, should my sales exceed my expectations? And if I do file paperwork, do I need to charge sales tax for my primary product, a pdf file that is entirely digital in nature?
Crafts and patterns are governed fy federal copyright law.
Your city, not your state governs your business operations. Unless you have an exemption for a small business or for some other reason, you may need a business license. Check the finance office of your city's website.
Avvo doesn't pay us for these responses, and I'm not your lawyer just because I answer this question or respond to any follow-up comments. If you want to hire me, please contact me. Otherwise, please don't expect a further response. We need an actual written agreement to form an attorney-client relationship. I'm only licensed in CA and you shouldn't rely on this answer, since each state has different laws, each situation is fact specific, and it's impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue.
No matter the size of your business, I would want to insulate myself (personal assets) from any potential exposure. You can very easily set up an LLC to accomplish just that task. Any income or losses flow directly down to your personal income tax return.
My comments are not intended to establish an attorney-client relationship, are not confidential, and are not intended to constitute legal advice. Proper legal advice can only be given by an attorney who agrees to represent you, who reviews the facts of your specific case, who does not have a conflict of interest preventing the representation, and who is licensed as an attorney in the state where the law applies. less
Why don't you start out on Ebay or Etsy and see if there is any business prior to incurring all of these costs?
Please note that we are not forming an attorney - client relationship and the advice is meant to be general. Law Offices of Joel J. Kofsky 1616 Walnut Street Suite 2110 Philadelphia, PA 19103 http://www.phillyinjurylawyer.com/
In answer to your question about taxes, you would need to collect the 6% Pennsylvania sales tax on any sales to Pennsylvania residents. Regardless of the amount of your sales, if you are conducting a business selling goods, you could be subject to fines and penalties from the PA Department of Revenue if you don't collect sales tax from PA residents.
There are currently no requirements to collect sales tax from residents of other states, but this is likely to change in the not-too-distant future, as many states are looking to online sales as a revenue source.
You might want to start by looking at the PA Open For Business website at http://bit.ly/MyjvdA. This is a site specifically for startup businesses to assist you in getting through all of the requirements you may find.
Of course, as with all of my online answers, my advice is limited by the brevity of your question and the facts provided. Additional information would be required to provide definitive legal advice, so this answer isn't intended to, and does not, create an attorney-client relationship.
Good luck!

Bestselling author and expert on leadership John C. Maxwell shares the only rule that matters--in business and in life.How does a person judge what is ethical? Sometimes it's clear. In the past year or two, ethical lapses in corporate America have been well documented. But is it always easy to see where the line is in life? What's the standard? And can it work in all situations? John C. Max- well thinks it can. In THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BUSINESS ETHICS, Maxwell shows how people can live with integrity by using the Golden Rule as their standard--regardless of religion, culture, or circumstances. Along the way, he delves into the desires of the human heart, reveals the five most common pitfalls that throw people off the ethical track, and teaches how to develop the Midas touch when it comes to personal integrity.
