Ryan's Law is new Ontario legislation that came into force in May 2015. It requires all school boards in the province to develop and maintain asthma policies and procedures that help protect students who have asthma. Visit www.RyansLaw.ca to find out more.
With good asthma control, your child should not miss school or daycare because of asthma and should be able to participate fully in activities including sports.
Regular, clear communication with the school and daycare can help your child maintain good asthma control. You can help to prevent asthma problems by talking to your child's teachers or daycare staff and by making sure you child has proper asthma treatment.
Meet with your child's teachers or daycare staff each September and do the following:
Provide a copy of your child's Asthma Action Plan and explain what it means
List and explain your child's asthma triggers and why it's important to avoid them. Some common triggers in the classroom and daycare include furry animals, dust, mould and strong smells.
Show teachers or daycare staff your child's asthma medications and how to use them properly - make sure they are well labeled.
Make sure the teachers or daycare staff know which inhaler is the reliever medication that helps in an asthma emergency (usually a blue inhaler).
Once a student is old enough, they should be able to carry asthma medications with them at all times.
Ask about policies for field trips - with a bit of extra planning most trips should be safe.
Make sure your child's teachers or daycare staff know what to do in an emergency and whom to contact.
Fill in our Individual Student Asthma Management Plan and bring it to the school or fill in our Child Asthma Management Plan and bring it to the daycare.
Teachers and daycare staff can do a lot to help children maintain good asthma control. Children with well-controlled asthma should be able to fully participate in activities, including sports.
There are many things that can be done to help a student with asthma:
Ask for a copy of the child's Asthma Action Plan.
Meet with the child's parents and have them go over their child's asthma management plan with you. Discuss any questions you might have with the parents.
Ask parents about their child's asthma triggers - each person with asthma has their own set of triggers. As much as possible, remove asthma triggers from your classroom. Some possible triggers in the classroom or daycare include furry animals, dust, mould and strong smells.
Learn about their asthma medications - what they do and what they're for. Learn the difference between a reliever medication (usually in a blue puffer- taken during asthma attacks or before exercise) and a controller medication (usually taken at home every day to control symptoms, but WON'T help in an asthma attack).
If needed at school or daycare, remind them to take their medications as scheduled
Talk to your class and staff about asthma so they understand it better
Know what to do in an asthma emergency and who to call
Asthma symptoms can sometimes slowly get worse over time. As a teacher or daycare staff with regular exposure to children with asthma, you may notice the early warning signs that asthma is getting out of control in a child. For example, you might notice that a student with asthma is suddenly reluctant to run around at recess, or is coughing more than usual.
Common warning signs that their asthma may be worsening:
You notice any of the usual asthma symptoms:
Short of breath (especially during exercise)
Regular cough
Child is tired because of disturbed sleep from their asthma
Trouble exercising or seems reluctant to participate in physical activities
Needs to use their reliever inhaler (usually a blue inhaler) more than three times a week
Take note of these symptoms and report them to the child's parents right away. By keeping track of the students' symptoms and reporting them, you can help prevent symptoms from getting worse and reduce the risk of an asthma attack.

I teach high school in the city and are in the middle of a unit on food, and how food works in the city.
We would LOVE to do a session with a restaurant or chef where we eat lunch, and then have a conversion with the preparer of food Do you know anybody who might be willing to have us for lunch, and also speak with our students?
Ideally, this person:
Is willing to engage in a dialogue with high school students.
Is mindful, and can speak about the origin of her ingredients.
Can speak about the challenges/rewards of working in the food industry in New York.
Is willing to consider the idea that preparing a meal as an act of authorship in which something is communicated.
We are looking to have lunch somewhere in the city. We can pay around $20 per person for 30 students and 3-4 teachers. Would love some ideas! Who are the fun, mindful chefs we should visit?

On 2 April 2015, Iran and the P5+1 nations (United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China and Germany) reached a framework agreement in respect of Iran limiting its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief. This preliminary agreement is the foundation for the final Iran nuclear accord, which will take the form of a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action ("JCPOA"). The drafting of the JCPOA is due to be finalised by 30 June 2015.
All EU and US businesses should be aware however that existing EU and US sanctions applicable to Iran currently remain unchanged. Sanctions measures which had previously been suspended as negotiations progressed remain suspended.
Current sanctions measures
Iran is currently subject to a range of sanctions imposed by the UN, the EU and US.
Current EU sanctions on Iran include a comprehensive asset freeze against a significant number of Iranian entities and persons, restrictions on the export of certain products to Iran (including equipment for Iran's oil and gas sector and equipment which could be used for the enrichment of uranium), restrictions on the import of Iranian crude oil into the EU, significant restrictions on financial services, including notification and authorisation requirements for any transfer of funds to or from an Iranian person and an arms embargo.
Sanctions measures suspended by the EU include certain oil and petrochemical related sanctions, as well as an increase in the notification/authorisation thresholds for financial transfers to and from Iran.
The US imposes comprehensive sanctions against Iran which mean that, broadly, all transactions in the US or by US persons wherever located with or in Iran are prohibited without prior authorisation. The US has suspended under the JPOA the application of certain extraterritorial sanctions that provide for the imposition of penalties against non-US entities engaging in certain activities involving Iran's automotive, petrochemical and crude oil industries. It should be noted that all activities undertaken under the authority of the JPOA must be completed during the JPOA including receipt of payment for goods and services provided during the JPOA, which has an expiry date of June 30, 2015 unless extended.
In addition to the above sanctions, in 2012 the EU and the US took an unprecedented step by ordering the Belgium-based Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) to disconnect Iranian banks from its inter-bank financial messaging system.
Proposed sanctions relief
The P5+1 nations have been engaged in intensive negotiations to reach a comprehensive agreement on Iran's nuclear programme since February 2014. Since this time the parties have agreed on a rolling temporary suspension of certain EU and US sanctions measures (as noted above) to facilitate ongoing negotiations of the JCPOA.
Under the terms of the framework agreement, Iran will commit to reducing the number of its centrifuges from 19,000 to 6,104 and will reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium. The JCPOA will also impose upon Iran significant new reporting and inspection obligation in relation to its nuclear capabilities. International Atomic Energy Agency ("IAEA") inspectors will have access to Iranian nuclear facilities, centrifuge plans and supply chains.
It is anticipated that EU and US sanctions imposed over the last decade in response to Iran's nuclear programme will be gradually phased out if and when Iran fulfils its obligations under the JCPOA. Similarly post-2006 binding UN Security Council resolutions which impose sanctions are also likely to be lifted in accordance with Iran's compliance with the terms of the JCPOA. Core provisions in the UN Security Council resolutions – those that deal with transfers of sensitive technologies and activities – will be re-established by a new UN Security Council resolution that will endorse the JCPOA and urge its full implementation. Important restrictions on conventional arms and ballistic missiles, as well as provisions that allow for related cargo inspections and asset freezes, will also be incorporated by this new resolution.
No definitive list of those nuclear-related EU and US sanctions which will be lifted has yet to emerge and we await the details of the proposed sanctions relief. Additionally, the timetable for the milestones which must be complied with is as yet unclear, and will be set out in the JCPOA.
Other key details of the agreement are also yet be finalised. For example, the US government has stated that sanctions will be suspended after the International Atomic Energy Agency has verified that Iran has complied with all of its nuclear related steps, whereas the Iranian government maintains that at the time of the start of Iran's nuclear-related implementation work, all sanctions will be withdrawn on a single specified day. The US government has also stated that "if at any time Iran fails to fulfil its commitments...sanctions will snap back into place".1
In addition, not all sanctions will be lifted even if Iran does comply with all of its obligations under the JCPOA. For example, the US Government has made clear that its sanctions based on Iran's support for terrorism and human rights abuses will continue to be in force. This is likely to include the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations.
Finally, a dispute resolution process will be specified, which will enable any JCPOA participant to seek to resolve disagreements about the performance of JCPOA commitments. If an issue of significant non-performance cannot be resolved through that process, then all previous UN sanctions could be re-imposed.
What does this mean for your business?
None of the agreed terms will be implemented until at least 30 June 2015. As noted above, EU and US sanctions against Iran remain unchanged, and are likely to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. IAEA verification of Iran's compliance with the JCPOA is required before any sanctions relief will be implemented. It therefore continues to be crucial that legal advice is sought before undertaking any transaction which may involve Iran or Iranian persons.

Be Your BEST in Agility: 10 Tips to Get You THERE!
Swagger and I are preparing for our upcoming trip to FCI World Championships in Zaragoza, Spain representing Subaru Agility Team Canada.
In my preparations this week, I gave my "agility trial checklist" a once over to see if there were any needed "tweaks".
As I was looking at my list I thought "this would be cool information for me to share with everyone". So… what grew out of my own preparation is something I would like to share with you all. Follow along for the next few weeks as we travel to compete and I share tips for you to do your own personal best in agility. Enjoy!
Agility Trial Success Tip #1: Set Goals!
It doesn't matter if you are heading into a world championship or your first agility trial ever, you will always come home a success if you set out with clear goals. Break the weekend down into many events that you can goal set for. A "weekend" is made up of a set of runs and each run made from a set of skills you can evaluate to help you succeed in the future.
"People with goals succeed because they know where they are going…It's as simple as that."
~ Earl Nightingale
Today, I am grateful to Subaru Canada for their generous support of Team Canada as we head off to Spain for our biggest competition of the year.

My very first competition, many many years ago. I was so nervous that I forgot to 'exercise' my dog beforehand, so I was eliminated by an elimination. The more I tell this story, the more people relax – and think about the comforts of their dog!

When I decided to trial my Brussels Griffon who was dealing with low self -confidence and dog fear issues, a friend told me to look at every trial as a lesson. And work every lesson as a trial. The dog does not know they didn't shine like the sun out there.
I set 3 goals for her first trial:
1. Francine was to have FUN!
2. I did not want Francine to leave the course and head for the parking lot (before we'd finished!)
3. We must stick the see-saw.
Francine not only accomplished our goals, she flew faultlessly through all her Novice legs, and on into her Open Title.
I still choose three things each trial that we should accomplish, and we are still having the time of our lives out there!
Sue says:
Tuesday, September 20, 2016 at 10:29am
Thanks for the reminder; I often set "outcomes" as goals. I need to remember that knocking a bar is an outcome, not a goal! (Sometimes that is really difficult to do!)

One of the joys of running agility is seeing my dogs fly when I am so far behind them due to bad knees.
Distance work is a great way to look at goals. Start close and gradually add to the distance by improving our communication, timing and handling. Create separate goals for each category.
In my heart, I am soaring right along with my great girls, an Irish setter and a flat-coated retriever.
And now my students and friends run them sometimes too. It makes me extra happy to see them go full out with more able-bodied handlers too, and to know they are helping the handlers learn more about timing and skills as well, in their cheerful way.
Wayne says:
Thursday, September 15, 2016 at 5:51pm
We do our warm ups, stay and go 3 or 4 times then
I am at the starting line with my dog, I take off the lead , sit and wait, as soon as I say go she starts to sniffs around the ground looking for treats or eating the grass. How do I get her to keep her attention on the course and me.
In training after a few times she gets it but its that unknown first attempt at the trial start that gets I cant control.
Elaine S says:
Thursday, September 15, 2016 at 9:24am
Before my first trial I should have said to myself: "Relax. You'll probably make mistakes, but so what. The only money in this is the entrance fee. So have fun and make sure your dog is having fun. And LAUGH!"
Carol Foster says:
Thursday, September 15, 2016 at 12:15pm
Yes, Elaine S!! I agree totally! One of my trainers once told me, when I was in a total tither, "No babies will die as a result of your not doing this "right"!", i.e. don't sweat it too much. Prepare as much as you can ahead of time, keep your routine, and learn from what you didn't do right. Your dog will sometimes do something that will make you shake your head, either in wonder or in chagrin. That's why we run dogs, not robots, lol!
Have fun!!
Chris Edmark says:
Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at 11:09pm
One thing I wish I had learned early on and have on my trial reminder sheet. Keep it between you and your dog. Have fun ignore how others do and what they say..
Athleen Zimmermann says:

text: As we move into the New Year, one of my resolutions is to change up my cooking habits. I cook about 4 times a week, including full 5-6 course meals on the weekends. Although I am pretty adventurous, I tend to stay away from some of the more difficult recipes, like rack of lamb – (not the kind mom makes, but the kind that would be served in a 3 Star joint). So I am looking for suggestions on the top 10 recipes a home cook has to make at least once.

It's white & I like it.
By Somayeh
from Kent, OH
Comments about Alvin Heritage Gridded Sketch Boards:
I like this product because first of all It's white & second It has grid lines & cutout handle. But the grid lines are a bit damaged & Its clip (for holding paper) is not good & a bit will damage the paper under its pressure. (I bought size 18.5X19.5 and as you can see in the picture it has only one clip.)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sketch Board Arrived Quickly
By Beverly
from So Orange County, CA
I searched the internet to find a giant clipboard and found this one on Blick. I did not get out a tape measure when ordering so when it arrived I was surprised on how large it was. However, it works perfectly for my needs. I wanted a board that I could bring into our family room and doodle and watercolor while watching TV. This size works well.
By Artist
from Pennsylvania
I bought this one only because the 15"x 16" Blick version was out of stock. I thought the grid would be a bonus but it's printed crooked so it can't be used with a T-square. That's not a big deal to me...but the one I received has such an extremely overwhelming moldy smell like it was stored in a moldy basement for years. I tried to coat it with shellac to seal the smell in (with partial success). I hope the Blick version comes back in stock soon because I like the smaller size.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We're sorry to hear about the faults in the board you received from us, and we'd like to take care of this for you. One of our Customer Care Agents will be in touch with you soon.

Clamp on medium size is weak
By witt1031
from san antonio, texas
I was prepared to love this product. I still like most of it's features, and I like having a smaller alternative for smaller size paper, but the clamp just won't hold the paper. I put a half dozen sheets on it for class and I had to use additional clamps. So I reduced it to two sheets of paper and I still couldn't get the clamp to hold. The price is only average if you actually end up with a board which holds paper the way it's supposed to.
Merchant response: We're sorry to hear that the clips on the board you received weren't working properly. One of our Customer Care Agents will be in touch via email so we can take care of this for you.
Great product for the price
By TwistedArtDesigns
from Goodyear, AZ
The board was larger than I imagined - I didn't pay close enough attention to the stated size...so it is. But big for me. Other than that, it is very nice! Great price! I will use it a lot.

Easy to carry along with other materials to sketch classes or plein air set ups. Grid comes in handy for testing horizons, in preliminary sketches.

To grid or not to grid
By Ba
from Novato, Ca.
I love these sketch boards because I can utilize the grid, or not, depending on what I am working on. I have all three sizes, for ease of preparing a grid of different sizes. Not necessary if you get the largest size, but I use the smaller size most and like to take it with me.

not what I was expecting
By Des
from fairfax, Va
The size is a little odd...not convenient for big paper... not needed for little paper.

WLM 2011 Storage Folder problems
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and using Windows Live Mail 2011 and recently have started having problems with e-mails in my WLM Storage Folders. Some folders have become corrupted such that the e-mail headers, subject, date, etc appear correctly but all the e-mails in one folder have the same contents.
I generally use the Move To function or occasionally drag and drop e-mails from my Inbox to the relevant Storage Folder but in both cases some of the recipient storage folders are now corrupted and effectively my stored e-mails are now "lost".
Fortunately I had archived my e-mails fairly recently using Mailstore Home (free) so can access those that are now corrupt in WLM but I am concerned why this has happened since everything else appears to be working normally and virus/malware scans have not shown any problems.
Any suggestions?

Hi wyaad1, welcome to Windows Seven Forum.
I suggest you change tactics instead of looking for a solution.
If you open an email, click file and save as, you can store them on an external hdd. or wherever you like.
|My System Specs
|13 Aug 2011
The maintenance section of the general options for WLM has a "Message Store" option to tell you where to find the individual messages within Windows Explorer. This should be unaffected by the repair but you may be able to look there to see if your messages are there. (Although the titles are not descriptive, you can click on the *.eml files to look at them.) That would be another way to verify that they are really just duplicates of one another.
|My System Specs
|13 Aug 2011
RONCERR, Thanks for the response. I had already tried the repair option without success but have tried again in any case. The problem messages are still in the message store but WLM will not open them although a program called Free Opener will and the messages are all the original versions not dubplicates!
I have been using WLM for about a year and found it to be very good so it is extremely disappointing to have these problems. The suggestion by Roderunner above is a work around but not particularly elegant - a bit like moving out of your house to a tent in the garden because your roof is leaking, you may stay dry but it doesn't fix the problem.
I think a better work around is to save messages to Files folders and then at least they are backed up and available on-line which is what I have started to do in the interim.
|My System Specs
|13 Aug 2011
If you highlight the items in your storage folder, you can use 'Move to' feature to put them in location you choose.
|My System Specs
|13 Aug 2011
I have managed to restore my messages by copying the folders/messages from the WLM storage location to another fodler then deleting the WLM files and generally tidying up the WLM storage location before copying the folders messages back again. All messages are now readable correctly so I would appear to be back to normal.
I still don't know what caused the problem but hopefully it is a recovery solution should the problem happen again. Thanks for the input which help encourage me find a solution.

Why some publishers don't update

Hi guys,
I have been confused by one thing recently. Why some publishers in our program don't regularly update. I have been working hard to create promotional materials which are supposed to be more convertible. but they just don't update. Would anyone please advise how I persuade them to update and let them know that I would like to do any customized backup for them? Thanks a lot in advance

Just as you have many publishers, publishers often have many merchants. These days they have literally thousands of merchants to choose from. Each publisher only has so much time, just as we do as AMs. Even if they would like to update, it is unlikely that they could immediately update for every merchant they work with. You are doing the right thing. As long as you continue to work hard and update, and are responsive to them, you will continue to build your program, and it will continue to grow over time, IMHO.
By the way, the moderator should probably combine these two duplicate threads that you have asked this question in. I do not know what the protocol is to ask for that to be done.Jack Kotowski Certified Affiliate Manager OPM/Agency - program details: ABestWeb Forum of JackMarketing

You also have to consider that just because you think that the new material is better at converting, it doesn't mean that your affiliates will think the same.
If you give affiliates a choice in what they use to promote you, then you have to respect their decision to promote different material than you perhaps would want them to.
If you don't want them to use the old material, then make it clear that the old material will be removed
Also, some affiliates place a banner on a page, and then never go back to that page, even if the merchant goes out of business. Some affiliates either don't have the time, or don't care, or no longer even update their sites at all.
April 17th, 2009, 08:48 AM #4
How do they know that you've updated your creatives? Like Jack said, I work with an awful lot of merchants and while I just love perusing the network interfaces to see who has new creatives, I just don't have time to do it everyday, especially when there are merchants that haven't updated their creatives in over a year (what's up with that?).
The merchants on my sites that get updated first are the ones that send me an e-mail with their new links already encoded with my ID. GAN's link subscriptions are great too, anything that keeps me from wasting hours of time looking for those few new gems.
So to me the key to getting your creatives updated regularly is to think push, not pull.

Provide an api/interface that allows affiliates to setup a cron to pull updated content as it becomes available. As a coupon publisher, most of my updates come by way of automation from the GAN Link Subscriptions, CJ Promofeed, SAS Deals Database, Avantlink Coupon Feed, or the PJ Coupon Feed. I have crons that run each day that will automatically update my site based on content in the above listed feeds.
As was said earlier, there are simply not enough hours in a day to manually read hundreds of emails each week to get updates.
Provide something with the updated content that a publisher can automate.

I'll second what rematt said, too.
Also, it is a good idea, IMHO, to communicate in multiple ways, like posting right here on ABW, whenever you update. I get over a thousand bounces every time I send a newsletter via the network systems. And those are only the ones that I know don't get through. I am sure there are more. This is because merchants have abused it over the years, or there are just too many in each network sending too many emails. Affiliates/publishers either ignore them, or change their email account after signing up, just so they can manage their time.
I manage 7 programs, and I am launching at least 3 new large ventures. I believe they all benefit from each other. However, time management can be just a little tricky for everyone these days.Jack Kotowski Certified Affiliate Manager OPM/Agency - program details: ABestWeb Forum of JackMarketing

I agree that dynamic content is your friend.
But I think it's important to understand why many affiliates don't bother to update links:
- Once the affiliate has added a link (whether it's text, banner, button, widget, or whatever), if no earnings result, then the affiliate may see little incentive to allocate time to 'improving' the link. In fact, if you do manage to get the affiliate's attention and inspire action, the most likely action is simply removal of your link entirely, replaced by your competitor's link.
- If you think that there is ANY possibility that a particular banner may need to be replaced, then identify it as "dynamic" and simply replace the banner image (and possibly the destination of the affiliate-link URL), without bothering the affiliate. (But you should never change a previously-static banner by replacing the image or destination URL, at least not without ample warning that the old ad is being disabled.)
- Many affiliates have a very erratic update cycle. I have some sites that haven't been updated in several years, because traffic volumes are low and conversions are zero. My attention is drawn to the sites that already have traffic and conversions (how can I grow traffic further, or increase conversions). You just can't fix that.
- Try to explain in very clear language why your new ad is better: "We've found that our old light-gold-on-dark-yellow banner wasn't very effective. With our new black-and-red banner, we're seeing huge improvements in clickthrough rates (from 2% to 6%) and our overall EPC has increased from $0.33 to $6.50."
- For your "best prospect" affiliates, look at their sites and make very specific suggestions: "I've noticed that on your 'glibble' page, our standard banner doesn't stand out and doesn't even mention the word 'glibble.' If you could replace the existing banner with our new dynamic 'glibble banner,' you'll be assured that the most effective 'glibble' banner will be displayed on this page.
- As suggested, you should make use of any dynanic-feed options (product datafeeds, deals database) whenever possible.
Your affiliates are not your employees or agents; we are independent web publishers who are seeking to maximize our advertising revenues. When we act rationally, our focus is on site content and advertising opportunities that appear most likely to generate revenue, and we'll often ignore site content and advertising that isn't effective, rather than spend time trying to figure out whether performance might be improved. When we act irrationally (as we often do), you must be as tolerant as reasonably possible, and "accentuate the positive." After all, you're talking about the very small subset of your approved affiliates who have already posted your links.
If it's really important to get links updated, consider offering an incentive: a cash bonus, increased commission rate, or free sample merchandise for affiliates who do so. (But don't expect too much: the vast majority of affiliates ignore these offers -- even in the unlikely event that you offered me $50 to replace a link, and in the even more unlikely event that I actually read that email, and even if I actually believed that promise, I probably still wouldn't respond or take any action.)

Thanks a lot Julian and Jackmarketing. You know what is the frustrating part of my work? We outsourced our prgm to an agency, there is no way for us to communicate with the publishers directly. Hence, I have to create the promotional materials according to the promotion on our website and historical data. As a result, tho I work very hard here, it might not meet the publishers' need. n what is even worse, our agency rarely gives us any regular feedback from the publishers. So I really dun no any good solution for this. Any one has any good suggestion?
Many thanks in advance.

If your agency is not responsive to you, imagine how your publishers must be being treated. I tried to send this to you via email or Private Message, but apparently you are not able to receive them yet. So this seems to be the only way to get this to you:
There are some good program managers out there. I certainly try to be responsive to all of my clients and affiliates, and I run 7 programs (soon to be 9). Please feel free to contact me for some suggestions even if I am not what you are looking for.

From an affiliate's perspective:
Many times as mentioned above, we place a banner, text or product link on a page of our website or blog. The time to go back to a particular page can be very time consuming.
Some of us have to be selective of the offers we place each week due to time constraints.
I can tell you as an affiliate if I receive regular and sometimes personal updates from my AM, I will do my best to post material as soon as possible. If a merchant, contacts me to discuss my site, then they will receive immediate attention.
The one thin I dislike is a program that is managed poorly with little or no feedback. Like affiliates, there are good merchant programs and poor ones.
Unfortunately for merchants, many affiliates like me do belong to many programs and we have limited time when placing banners.
In my case, I run a few sites that utilize Goldencan. So those sites are updated as regularly as the merchant updates there datafeeds.
Since the sites are dynamic, the updates to those sites are less frequent.
The final point has to deal with merchants who don't reply to emails. I really hate this. There are many merchants that won't even acknowledge my emails and the placements of their creatives receive very little consideration.

I don't know what program you're running, but another reason some of your publishers may not be doing regular update of your promotional materials may be caused by the way you might be trying to comunicate with them...
I don't how if you're sending them promotional emails or not, but if you do, make sure those email are not exact duplicates of previous emails, because they may just ignore any feature emails from your program...
The reason I say that is because I just noticed that on April 17th, 2009, 03:11 AM and on April 17th, 2009, 03:12 AM, you opened two threads with the exact title and questions, on this same forum...
It may not be a big deal here on the forum, but if you send the same promotional materials email to your affiliates a few minutes appart, then some of your affiliates may not read some of your future emails...
Btw, have you read the replies on the other thread you opened, one minute after this one?

to Rematt, Jack, Seymourbutts, Mark, very many thanks for your brilliant replies. If I could have contacted our publishers directly like what we are doing now, things will be much much easier. However, we outsourced our prgm to an agency, hence, there is no way to contact our publishers. So I really want to make sure that publishers like to communicate instead of being unresponsive like what our agency said.
P.S sorry for making a mistake by sending the same topic twice. I did it unconsciously.

To Mr.Sal, thank you very much for your remind. I did it unconsciously. Sorry for the confusion.
I am making some exclusive promotional emails to our publishers now instead of solely letting our agency work in whatever their way which I think is not helpful on this point.
It is an issue that how merchants can work with publishers through agency effectively. I really would like to know more suggestions with you guys.
Thanks in advance

To get right to the point - you need to get rid of the agency you're using right now and get another one that knows what affiliates need, and want from a merchant, and knows how to communicate with affiliates.
There are plenty of them that post here at ABW every day.

Hi Niya,
Another thing to realize is that many affs are doing this part-time and still have a day job & family. I've had to let my site go for weeks at times and barely updated it before Golden Can and PopShops. Many are gravitating toward merchants who use either GC or PS, as it allows them to display datafeeds with little or no intervention. If merchants give me with coupons/sales that last only 1-2 weeks, I don't have the time to display and monitor short-term deals so I don't run them.
Also, if you're one merchant among many and not a top performer for an affiliate, your promo materials may not get the attention you feel they deserve.
I've noticed that aff managers will target their best performing affs and offer them special coupons, higher commissions or other incentives. So maybe targeting your best performers might be something to consider.Renée

I have to disagree with you on that one!
Because if I was the merchant, I sure would not worry if my best performers don't update their sites...
Why try to fix something that is working well as is?

To Joy, you are right, I highly understand that publishers are very busy.That is why I would like to offer any backup to make their work easier. Especially, when I see that some of the great sites brought a lot of traffic but the conversion rate is low, I really want to communicate with them and find out ways of improvement. Cuz I dun want to waste their valuable working time.
However, if the OPM couldn't work well as the bridge, effective communication with publishers is almost impossible. I know that some publishers are unresponsive, but I assume that there must b some ways of reaching them.
What are your guys' idea?
To Frumosun, Yeah I agree with you, so we are optimizing our creatives all the time. But after optimization, we would like our publishers to try them again or at least tell us what they want. So far, we are lack of this.

Bumla(India-China border), Oct 1 (UNI) The Indian Army entered China today through the inhospitable Bumla pass in Arunachal Pradesh to celebrate the National Day of China, putting aside recent acrimony between the two giants over the status of Arunachal Pradesh.
As a team of 25 Indian Army officers, a team of JCOs and NCOs of media personnel marched into the Chinese territory where their Chinese counterpart welcomed them in a freezing atmosphere. They put up a dazzling display of cultural shows and food fiesta, which lasted for more than four hours.
The Indian side came from the Tawang garrison while the Chinese side came from the Lee camp, located about 40 km inside the Chinese territory.
The Chinese side put up temporary arrangements for the event as both sides, specially their families, enjoyed mixing around, exchanging currencies, gifts, small eatables and ornamental items, which were freely doing the round in a merry making mood.
Despite the acrimonious statements flying in from both sides about the status of Tawang and Arunchal Pradesh in general, the camaraderie and the fun on the ground on these occasions are rare treat for the eyes. Each year on India's independence day, Chinse delegates come to India for a day-long festivity and the Indian side travel to on the occasion of Chinese National Day.
Chinese wines poured in abundance while both sides, including the officers, enjoyed themselves taking photographs in the freezing temperature. They also held a Border Personnel Meeting (BPM).

Jan. 17, 2013
GYMNASTICS - @GWGymnastics
A week after defeating East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) rival North Carolina and three other teams to win the season-opening Lindsey Ferris Invitational, the George Washington gymnastics team will clash with the Tar Heels once again in a tri-meet with William & Mary on Sunday at 2 p.m., at Carmichael Arena in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Sunday's meet marks the second of five times this season that the Colonials and Tar Heels will compete in the same meet.
Senior Stephanie Stoicovy was named GWSports.com's Colonial of the Week on Monday after winning the all-around title with a career-high score of 38.975. Stoicovy posted the top floor exercise routine of the afternoon with a 9.875. She added a career-high 9.775 on uneven bars to tie for fifth place in addition to a 9.775 on vault (t-4th) and a 9.600 on balance beam (t-11th).
The Colonials strongest event in the season opener was the floor exercise, where they placed five routines in the top-six, including a first-place finish from Stoicovy and a second-place routine from sophomore Elena Corcoran.
GW was also strong on the uneven bars, where they posted a team score of 48.675, their best uneven bars score since March 21, 2008.

The George Washington men's and women's swimming teams head to district rival Georgetown on Saturday, Jan. 19 for their final road dual meet of the season. Action inside the Hoyas' McCarthy Pool is slated for 1 p.m.
The Colonials are coming off of the two-day Rhode Island Invitational last weekend, which served as their first competition since Dec. 1, 2012. GW competed against Atlantic 10 foes La Salle, Massachusetts and host URI at the annual meet.
The women's squad finished fourth with a total of 362 points while Massachusetts took home first with 545 points, La Salle finished second with 395 points and host Rhode Island placed third with 393 points. GW collected 18 top-five finishes on the weekend, paced by sophomore Janica Lee and juniors Lindsay Moore and Caroline Myers.
On the men's side, GW finished third with 379 points on the strength of 23 top-five finishes, led by seniors Phillip Graeter, Niklas Glenesk and Luke Quimby, as well as freshman Oliver Keegan. Reigning conference champion Massachusetts took first with a total of 609 points, La Salle finished second with 482 points and host Rhode Island's club team finished fourth with 146 points.
Georgetown's men's team is coming off a 172-126 win over American last Saturday, while the Hoyas' women defeated American, 236-57, and fell to James Madison, 210-86, at home.
The Buff and Blue came away with two team victories in last season's meeting with Georgetown inside the Charles E. Smith Center Pool. The men's side handed the Hoyas a dominating 161-110 defeat while the women came from behind in the final event of the afternoon to earn a 132-129 victory. The Colonials posted necessary first- and third-place finishes in the 400-yard freestyle relay to stun the visitors and close their final home meet with a win.
In addition, Georgetown assistant coach Bryan Ferretti ('05) swam for GW head coach Dan Rhinehart and was named the Colonials' Most Valuable Player in 2002, 2003 and 2005.
