Trade leads are very important aspect of international business and considered an inexpensive way of getting new buyers and consequently export orders. However, like many other Internet hypes, we need to realistically examine and understand it in terms of who places these leads, why and most important how to use them effectively for expanding your international business.
How Reliable are Trade Leads ?
Mushrooming dot com greenhorns announcing 'yet another' revolutionary market place will like you to believe that these trade leads (also called RFQ) are export orders waiting for your taking and what a fantastic opportunity awaits you from thousands of companies floating millions of trade inquiries. What is wrong with this concept, as is wrong with many other Internet hypes, is the assumption that this additional information can be easily assimilated into a business enterprise and made useful without any cost whatsoever. Nothing could be further from the truth as major problem with trade leads is that many of them are of questionable value.
Does that mean we should always remain skeptic about these leads and avoid them like plague ? This is folly on the other extreme - with care and imagination you can turn them into real opportunities. I have seen them happening and there is no reason why you can not do it. The purpose of this article is to help you look at these leads realistically and offer suggestions on how to deal with them profitably.
There are many kinds of trade leads like business opportunities, foreign govt tenders etc. For this discussion, we take the most prevalent type of offers in WWW- message placed by private company or individual to buy or sell a specific product/service within a reasonable period of time.
Who Places Trade Leads ?
Foreign distributors know exactly where to go when they want to buy something for resale. They do not have to place a trade lead to procure anything except in very rare cases. Then why such proliferation of trade leads ?
The advent of Internet has dealt a serious blow to traditional distribution system, specially in overseas trade. In more specific terms, middlemen are in serious danger of loosing substantial business. Earlier, foreign buyers like retailers had little option but to buy from local supplier who usually imported the stuff in bulk and distributed in local area. Importing in small quantity was neither feasible nor economic.
With the advent of Internet, retailers can now reach sellers in distant countries, see their products in websites, negotiate a favourable price and buy in small quantity. There is no dearth of exporters who are prepared to sell in small quantity at regular intervals.
This direct buying by retailer at a favourable price in turn puts pressure in local market and distributors feel hard pressed to find new suppliers, new products and most important lower price. So what was once a rather lengthy distribution chain of seller to exporter to importer to wholesaler to buyer, is increasingly loosing middle players . Agreed, large part of International trade is still dominated by traditional distribution system but the trend is towards marginalisation of middle men, facilitated by an open medium like Internet.
Then why this skepticism ?
Like other things in life, reality is never in black and white - there
are always shades of gray. So, alongwith serious buyers looking for serious sellers there are sundry others ranging from window shoppers, arm-chair international businessmen to potential buyers exploring the market. So, we find trade leads posted for variety of reasons like:
The challenge - How to separate wheat from chaff
There is no manual or specific rules - but common sense, observation, care and imagination will help you locate the more potential leads and manage your time and resources that much better. Following are some guidelines (based on my experience since 1997) that you may consider:
Find Reliable and Exclusive Source
If you talk to people who actually sell in foreign markets, they will privately tell you that their best leads are the ones which they generate themselves usually by direct mail. It is far easier to cultivate a trade lead into business when they come from exclusive source, not available to zillion others or lying in some free bulletin board. The options are clear - either invest in research to locate buyers or take professional help. There is no free lunch - there had never been any.
Be wary of peeping Toms
Look for keywords that might indicate the intention - if the guy is gathering information and has no intention to buy. Be suspicious of companies who ask for detailed information about manufacturers' prices but do not identify themselves as distributors looking for new lines.
Be careful of large orders
Be very wary of companies who post trade leads for large orders and are not easily located in any company or industry directories. These are often small companies who will issue an RFQ (request for quotation) for large quantities in order to get a lower price and then will try to order a very small quantity at that price.
Mind the language
Do not be unduly influenced by flowery language or very specific requirement. Do not pre-judge the lead - exercise all precautions required in international business. Many small manufacturers get trapped by this.
Check the market
If you are not a manufacturer and outsource products - be careful of locked market activities. This trade lead will specify a particular product. Your company contacts the manufacturer, hoping to make a commission on the sale, only to find out that the manufacturer already has representation in that country and will not sell the product to you for resale to that market because they want to protect their distributor relationship.
Letter of Intent ?
Generally Ignore trade leads offering "letter of intent" or "letter of interest".
Jack of all Trades ?
Generally ignore companies who claim to deal in any commodity traded on world markets and who are placing trade leads. Traded commodities such as coffee, sugar, urea, oil and gold are handled by well established companies in well established markets. These companies usually do not place trade leads in order to do business.
Do not Believe in Overnight Success
Be very wary of international business scams designed to separate you from your money. Be suspicious of anybody who prefers phone conversations to written documents. Do not get sucked into fantastic business opportunities which promise to yield you huge profits with no risk. Learn which countries and areas have a reputation for spawning international business fraud and avoid them like the plague. Never respond to business opportunities which require you to make wire transfers in advance of receiving goods or services.
Understand the virtue of patience
Understand that most foreign distributors do not make fast buying decisions. It is not at all unusual for an initial order to require 9-18 months from the time of the initial solicitation depending upon the cost of the item.
Develop relationship
Instead of treating the leads as 'export order' with a hit or miss attitude - use the opportunity to develop lasting relationship. Understand buyer's requirements and offer solution accordingly. Do not indulge in monologue on your products - make it a dialogue on how both the companies can stand to gain from a mutual understanding.

Or some other play on words…. Today was the annual Bathurst Giant Garage Sale… Held in the race pits of Mt Panorama, it is a musk pick event…. With 80+ stalls of junk to sort through it is a hectic morning, but I never come away empty handed… This year wasn't as car filling as the last few, and that is probably a good thing.
I was so sensible that I left quite a bit of stuff behind… but some things I cant say no too…. especially if they are cheap… This lot was $10…
A DS-lite in perfect condition with 2 games, a gameboy colour, and a copy of Digimon World 2003 for the PS1…. The Digimon Game will more than cover the cost of the rest 😉
A pile of glomesh and oroton bags… all from different stalls but all $1 each….
An old school paper guillotine…. Hours of finger endangering fun… It cost me $5, and I have been looking for one for ages…. This one goes to the studio…..
Also for the studio a very crusty wrought iron door bell… For 50 cents it was a must have, and it jingles in a very pleasing way…..
And the rest…. old school case $1… 2 teak folding tables $5 the pair…. and everything on the table , the Genie bottle, red glass jar, Stereoscopic viewer, pocket watch and plane came to $25… Not bad for a days work, but now I have to clean it all up and get it ready for the markets next month…. but I may have a coffee first…

It was more than merely symbolic that Corey Pavin announced his captain's picks for the Ryder Cup at the New York Stock Exchange. Anyone with money in the market knows what a crap shoot that kind of bet is these days and Pavin had more of an appetite for risk than flight to safety in deciding who to put his stock in. So much so that he will be looking to cover his shorts if this quartet runs with the bears and not the bulls.
It's an eclectic bunch that Pavin chose to represent the U.S. in the Ryder Cup next month in Wales. Three of the four are major champions with Ryder Cup experience, although none of the three have a winning record. The fourth is a rookie both on the PGA Tour and on the Ryder Cup team, who was chosen for reasons that don't make a great deal of sense.
Tiger Woods was a lock to be chosen for reasons that go beyond the actual competition and filter into impure factors like revenue and television ratings. We've already had one Ryder Cup without Woods. The powers couldn't fathom another.
The question becomes how much will Pavin play Woods if his game is not up to standards. In his five previous Ryder Cups, he played in five matches each time. But he has only won 40 percent of his 25 matches.
It's no secret that Woods is still struggling, although it's clear that he's making progress. How much he can turn his form around in the next three weeks will determine whether Woods finds himself as the world's highest-paid cheerleader while his teammates try to slay the dragon.
Stewart Cink is a curious pick, simply because he keeps making the U.S. team as a pick. He can't seem to rack up enough points to be an automatic qualifier, but this will be his fifth Ryder Cup appearance. He has a record of 4-7-4, nothing that would scare any European on the team. So it appears that Pavin chose Cink because of his experience, never mind that it hasn't been a particularly good experience.
It appeared that Cink had made a breakthrough when he broke so many hearts when he beat Tom Watson in a playoff to win the 2009 Open Championship. But he has done little since. He has only three top-10 finishes in 2010, topping off a year of strictly mediocre golf.
Cink was a choice for stability's sake. There are five rookies on this year's American team and Pavin apparently felt he needed a Ryder Cup veteran to be able to pair with the first-timers in foursomes and four-ball. Pavin is not likely to send Matt Kuchar, Jeff Overton, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler or Bubba Watson out there without a partner that has been tempered in the Ryder Cup fire.
Zach Johnson falls into the same category, although he was 11th on the final Ryder Cup points list, which makes his selection look like less of a dice roll. However, Johnson has but one Ryder Cup on his résumé and his record was a paltry 1-2-1.
He has only two top-10s this year, but both came at opportune times. The first was a victory at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial in May and the other was a tie for third in the PGA Championship, a result that apparently caught Pavin's eye. It was that finish that led Pavin to skip Anthony Kim and Lucas Glover, who were ahead of Johnson on the points list.
Fowler is the choice that has created the most risk for Pavin. The Tour rookie is truly the wild card in the U.S. Ryder Cup hand. He played in only two major championships this year, finishing tied for 14th at the Open Championship after an opening-round 79. He has two runner-up finishes this year, including the Waste Management Open in Phoenix, when he was criticized for not going for a par-5 in two late in the final round with a chance to win.
Pavin pointed to Fowler's stellar Walker Cup record as an amateur, but that's like comparing golf balls to kumquats. There seems to be a clear division where Fowler is concerned. Players, writers and commentators who are under 40 all think Fowler was a great pick. Those over 40, except most notably Pavin, tend to question the wisdom of taking someone so untested with virtually no track record in the big events.
Paul Azinger, the 2008 U.S. captain, convinced the PGA of America to give him four picks instead of the two that had been the custom for years. He wanted the opportunity to choose players who were on top form late in the current year that might not have been high on the points list. That was the theory, anyway.
This year, it is apparent that Pavin's choices were fairly limited. Not only are none of the four picks hot, they aren't even lukewarm. Pavin has to hope that Ryder Cup magic will rub off on this foursome – and the rest of his team – between now and the end of the month.
It's the biggest gamble of his career.

1 MEMORY OF THE WORLD REGISTER NOMINATION FORM PART A ESSENTIAL INFORMATION 1. SUMMARY The aim of the HUMAN RIGHTS ARCHIVE OF CHILE is to ensure that the historical memory of human rights violations and the defence of human rights, which is documented in various archives of national institutions, do not continue to deteriorate. The archive seeks to safeguard this memory in order for it to be recognized and valued, because it captures a specific historical moment of actions of solidarity with and defence of persecuted and arrested persons during the military dictatorship that governed Chile from 1973 until The archives of non-governmental institutions that today constitute the Archive originated as a form of preserving information and supporting the search for those disappeared during the military regime. The Archive on Human Rights is, consequently, an experiment of civic and democratic education for future users at different levels: local, national and international. It is, therefore, necessary to preserve this documentary heritage considered of universal interest and to facilitate access by a vast number of persons, using appropriate technology. At the same time, it is necessary to create registers that ensure its extensive and free dissemination. The Archive attempts to examine the processes of collective memory as mechanisms that enable different ways of socialization and the (re)insertion of civil societies in which, in a particular moment, the respect and guarantee of the full exercise of rights and liberties has been coercively interrupted. The importance of this Archive lies in the fact that each individual document gives an account of a process of intra-societal co-inhabitancy in post-dictatorship spaces. For the same reason, this Archive converts into an interior dialogue of a society that still has to overcome the legacy of human rights violations of the recent past. All of the documents presented here are unique and authentic, reflecting the work of several institutions in the defence of human rights in Chile during the military regime. All archives originated from methodical recollection and classification of information that aimed at saving human lives, finding disappeared persons and denouncing the serious neglects of human rights in Chile. In this new millennium, a time has come for Latin America to recover its memory. There is conviction that after so many authoritarian and totalitarian governments, the most important thing for the collective future is to respect fundamental human rights. Conserving the archives is necessary in order to set forth a public debate in these societies to enable them to question the presence or absence of the memory of human rights violations. The future cannot be built on oblivion, on concealing what has happened. This idea applies to individuals, societies and humanity. To understand the raison d être of democracy and respect for human rights, it is necessary to know and remember how the dictatorships functioned. Countries will be able to choose a future free of terror and the mistakes of the past, only by knowing and reflecting on their past.
2 Currently, the Human Rights Archives that proposed to be part of the Memory of the World Register are seriously endangered due to lack of resources to maintain all information so far collected. Through this Archive, we hope that the work on human rights documents and archives is recognized, analyzed and disseminated in order to create a culture of citizenship and to help in the conservation of our varied and fragile documentary heritage. We believe that this initiative brings together the cultural values of the past to support and stimulate the cultural development of the present and the future. 2.

Phone: IDENTITY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE DOCUMENTARY HERITAGE 3.1 (Details of the documents are enclosed in the Enclosures corresponding to each institution)
3 1. Name and information of identity elements of the documentary heritage proposed for the register a) Press Archive. A register of news from newspapers and magazines related to human rights issues from 1974 to Specifically, news clips and historical articles related to the subject of the arrested, politically executed, the banished, the tortured and the disappeared. It should be noted that many of these publications have ceased to exist. b) -Audiovisual Archive. Photos of the disappeared, copies of press documentaries and programmes. Over the years, an important photo register of nearly 1,000 disappeared persons has been created. Damaged photos have been digitized and retouched. Subsequently, a register of the activities of the human rights associations, foundations and corporations as organizations has been created. Some copies of press documentaries and programmes related to the subject of human rights are included. Moreover, cassettes and videos that tell the history of the disappeared have been received as donations. - Audiovisual archive of TELEANÁLIS. News disseminated on videos that register the defence of human rights from 1984 to (See annexes) c) Historical Heritage. Documents classified by date and year, on the participation of the Human Rights institutions in the social, political and juridical life of the country and in the international community. These documents are the originals and have been conserved since the year 1975 up to the present. On the other hand, the archive has managed to conserve the law proposals drawn up by the Association in order to impede the amnesty laws and to suggest ethical and political solutions to the subject of human rights violations in Chile. Descriptive lists of the disappeared have been computerized and created, according to different criteria (by sex, age, profession, job, political militancy, place and date of disappearance etc.), with the aim of having this material available to persons who request it. Additionally, classification of information leaflets for massive dissemination, as well as posters highlighting important activities of the human rights institutions over the years. d) Digital Heritage. Digitized documents corresponding to the original classified information, gathered by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, e) Institutional Publications. Register and publication of documents (leaflets, flyers, posters etc.) created by persons and teams organized to work on denouncing violations as well as disseminating and sensitizing public opinion to the work of the human rights institutions. f) Juridical Archive. Copies of numerous trials and appeals actions concerning the disappeared. This archive contains declarations of acts, testimonies, court resolutions etc. In some cases, original documents of the state and international organizations are included, referring to consultations of family members of the arrested and disappeared persons. Additionally, the Archive includes personal testimonies, narrations of the survivors or persons who were arrested with the victims, etc. g) Publications of programmes on human rights education. h) Publications of some organizations on mental health. i) Clinical index cards. Constituted by listings of index cards, entered according to order of repressive situation, entry date and by alphabetical order both of the surnames of each repressive situation and name of the holder of the repressive situation.
4 Archive of the victims of human rights violations from 11, September 1973 to 11, March 1990, investigated by the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission. 3.2 Description 35 The CanonFile optical discs system that contain all information related to the 3,877 cases of victims of human rights violations investigated by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In addition to all information gathered by this institution in the course of its investigations, the testimonies of the survivors are included. The most organized collections are the videos archives with respect to historical heritage (archives and individual index cards), audiovisual archive and the press archive. One relevant part of this information is adjusted by the listings of the index cards of the children attended by the PIDEE, for instance. Additionally, there are approximately 500 files that, due to the end of financing, have not been included (in particular, files related to situations of persons returning from exile). 4. JUSTIFICATION FOR INCLUSION/ASSESMENT AGAINST CRITERIA 4.1 Is authenticity established? The documents are originals of the time and are archived under different categories. Until now no measures have been taken to determine their authenticity. However, the material has never been questioned by any human rights NGO, nor by the institutions that the associations have been collaborating with, such as the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Amnesty International, United Nations (especially, the help given to Special Mediators for the Chilean case) and judge Garzón, among others. Undoubtedly, all of the material is authentic, because it is the result of denunciations received directly by the institutions and is adequately supported. Moreover, it can be argued that the Chilean Human Rights Commission included in its reports only the denouncements based on information with sufficient credibility, worthy of a trial or police investigation. The authenticity of some documents of the Corporations is demonstrated by a document in which the Curator of the National Archive of Chile certifies that he was present and saw the original documents that were scanned and transferred to CanonFile optical discs. All of the material recollected during these years is of authentic character and includes testimonies of the victims as well as witnesses of the human right violations during the military dictatorship. 4.2 Is world significance, uniqueness and irreplaceability established? The Archives of the organizations are significant, unique and irreplaceable, as in no public library nor in any state institution exist specific information of this kind on the repression and human rights violations that took place in Chile during the military government. All this information on the arrested, politically executed, banished, tortured and disappeared persons is, therefore, unique and irreplaceable. Consequently, the destruction or loss of this heritage would mean losing evidence about the repressions of the dictatorship and on the testimonies on the crimes committed against humanity during the military regime. The Archive has tremendous testimonial significance, providing empiric evidence of the systematic policy of repression and forced disappearances. Moreover,
5 the documents have served as a setting for the open trial against General Pinochet in Spain and other European countries. 4.3 Is one or more of the criteria of a) time, b) place, c) people d), subject and theme, e) form and style satisfied? a. Time: Military Dictatorship, The time that is referred to as the most difficult period in the recent history of the country: the military government ( ). b. Place: Chile. c. Persons: The victims of human rights violations during the military dictatorship, understood as the disappeared and the families and relatives of the victims. d. Subject and theme: The inhumane and cruel behaviour that transgresses the fundamental values outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It cannot be forgotten that these are historical, political and ideological acts, testimonies of a time that still contains unsolved elements, like the cases of the disappeared and the executed. It also relates to State terror, forced disappearance of persons, crimes against humanity, dictatorship, human rights violations, solidarity, among others. e. Form and style: The Documentation Centre and the Archives of the organizations contain information from the victims of human rights violations that were investigated by the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission. As part of the inventory, an important quantity of books, documents, cassettes, videos, monthly reports, newspapers and magazines, among others, can be mentioned. Given the time when the testimonies were reported, many of these documents are handwritten or typed. All documentation is in its original form and has not been digitized for conservation. The photo archive mainly includes black and white photos that register the faces of each disappeared person, as well as the different forms of active participation of the Association in human rights issues. 4.4 Are there issues of rarity, integrity, threat and management that relate to this nomination? Rarity: Some archives (Vicary of Solidarity) have served as a study model for other countries, like El Salvador, Guatemala and Paraguay that have seen the necessity to institute search mechanisms to recover peace and stability in its public life. They have served as a database for NGOs that have traveled to Chile to investigate the activities of these organizations under the military regime. Large parts of the original and unique information is contained in the investigations realized by the lawyer and president of the Commission, Jaime Castillo Velasco, with respect to the Leterier case. It should be mentioned, too, that thanks to the information sent abroad and to the efforts realized by Jaime Castillo, the visit of United Nation s special mediator, Jaime Volio Jiménez, was made possible on two occasions in 1987 and Integrity: All documentation remains untouched. It has not been altered, and it maintains its integrity and authenticity. The material is conserved in good condition, but given the uniqueness of each document, they are not available for all the public that request to use them. They are documents of restricted character. It is important to note that external or internal factors such as the changes of government, or natural disasters might affect the preservation of this material. Threat: Given that these are original documents, the possibility to conserve them in some way, through copies or adequate digitization, might assure their permanence in time and their legacy to future generations.
6 Management Plan: A lot of work has been carried out in order to classify this heritage. In the near future, projects for the research and publication of the material available are being elaborated, as well as promoting its use for researches and graduate students of national and foreign universities. Additionally, an effort has been made to manage resources for the restoration and conservation of this valuable information mechanically and/or electronically, in order to make these documents available on the web for extensive use. Integrity: Generally, the documentation of the Human Rights Corporation, for instance, has been kept intact. Nevertheless, due to time that has passed, in many cases, the documents have been deteriorating due to lack of adequate means of preservation and physical safeguard. Threat: Since some organizations, like the Human Rights Corporation, began its activities, they had to face various submissions and threats from security bodies of the military dictatorship that in that time constituted a real threat to the information gathered. There were robberies, fires and destruction of much documentation that, nevertheless, was reconstructed and maintained until now (this happened with the cases of the War Council of 1981 and the trials against the political prisoners of the first years of the dictatorship). Given that these are original documents, the possibility to conserve them in some way (through copies or adequate digitization) might assure their permanence in time and their legacy to future generations. Management Plan: Unfortunately, a very small part of all the material generated and elaborated by CODEPU has been able to be arranged and classified. The scarcity of economic, technical and human resources has been an obstacle to advances in the subject. The documentation has only been able to be stored with minimum order and in precarious conditions of physical safeguard. 5. LEGAL INFORMATION 5.1.

MANAGEMENT PLAN 1. Is there a management plan in existence for this documentary heritage? If yes, please attach a summary of the plan.. The National Archive of Chile, through its National Archive System, is the institution responsible for the Human Rights Archive Management Plan. The National Archive System establishes public policy in compliance with the law that created the National Archive. A bill is currently under consideration by Congress to formalize operative changes already in place. (See Document Appendix) The management plan is strategically important due to the nature of the documentary and bibliographic collections preserved by the human rights institutions. A precarious support
10 system, the diverse nature of the documents, and the fact that the persons in charge of the archives are not archival professionals make the management plan all the more important. In light of these special characteristics of the Human Rights Archives, the National Archive has coordinated organizational programs and provides technical assistance for classification, indexing, describing, and conserving the documents housed in the various documentation centers. Among the activities the management plan contemplates for the next five years are the following: - Courses of preventive documentary preservation and restoration, conducted by professional staff of the National Archive and the Conservation and Restoration Center, both under the General Administration of Libraries, Archives and Museums. - Courses and consultations on informational systems and programs, that focus on documentary heritage. - Courses for designing standards applicable to classification, indexing, and description of documents. - International Seminars to develop networks of human rights archives in the MERCOSUR region. - Consultations from the National Archive for development of tools such as manuals, inventories and catalogues to aid recovery of information contained in the various human rights collections and documentation centers. These activities will be conducted each year. Monitoring and follow-up of procedures the documentation centers have incorporated will be carried out through an evaluation program by means of a survey to be conducted twice a year. The National Archive of Chile conducted the Basic Level Course May 26-27, 2003 for the Human Rights Archives. The Advanced Level Course will be scheduled later this year. UNESCO and Memory of the World National Committee will conduct the WINISIS Introductory Course in August 4-8, Access policy during the next five years shall respect the legal status of each of the NGOs that place their respective documentary heritage for nomination for inclusion in the Memory of the World. These documents of a special nature, as they provide testimony and irrefutable proof for judicial investigation and trial currently in progress in the courts. Therefore, they are available, first of all, to the courts, and secondly, for lawyers and the victims themselves of violations, abuse, and persecution, as is the case of the family members. In recent years the Chilean government has been particularly concerned about avoiding any kind of obstruction in these cases. Access to the digital archive, created in the course of the mandate of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission ( ), and deposited with the National Archive on June 11, 2003 by the Justice and Democracy Corporation, is regulated by the Justice Ministry, which demonstrates the special nature of these documents. That this set of valuable documents has been entrusted to the National Archive is an exceptional decision in regards to an eventual accessibility by all Budget Courses, consultations, and evaluations provided by the National Archive: US$ 4300 annually Administration and materials: US$ 500 annually Consultation for application to international and national grants: US$ 1500 annually Funding sources:
11 National Heritage Funds: US$ 15,000 annually Competitive Ibero-American Funds (ADAI) US$ 30,000 annually Total funding committed annually to date: US$ 51, Prevention of Risks: This will be the responsibility of the National Chilean Blue Shield Committee created in The Committee will be responsible for monitoring temperature, humidity and security of the facilities of the respective NGO archives. 6.5.: Publicity The documentation centers are coordinating efforts to publicize the existence of their archives in order to encourage greater use and access, and to inform Chilean society of the history of events related to the systematic violation of human rights under military dictatorship. A publicity campaign is planned that will include posters, public service announcements, and visits to schools and universities to make known the existence of the archives and encourage their use. The respective organizational web sites will add special announcements highlighting their documentation centers. One activity, scheduled to open in August 19, is an exhibit in commemoration of 30 years since the military coup, organized by the institutions that comprise the Chile Human Rights Archive. 7 CONSULTATION 7.1 Provide details of consultation about this nomination with (a) the owner of the heritage (b) the custodian (c) your national or regional Memory of the World committee PART B SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION The following information will not be taken into account in deciding whether or not to inscribe documentary heritage on the Register but will be included in the database as additional information.

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ - Established in 1987, Edison Heating and Cooling began as a one-man operation run out of the basement of Michael Iarrapino's childhood home. At the time, he assisted customers from his hometown of Edison and the surrounding communities but as business grew, Edison Heating and Cooling moved into larger facilities throughout South Plainfield, including one on Metuchen Road and another on New Market Avenue. In 1996, the company relocated to its current home on McKinley Street and today employs close to 80 people.
A full-service residential, commercial and industrial HVAC company providing installations, repair and maintenance, Edison heating and cooling systems, generators, oil to gas conversion, air cleaners, humidifiers/dehumidifiers, boilers, water heaters, zoning systems and chimney liners. Additionally, the company – which today services Bergen, Essex, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Somerset and Union counties – provides customers with financing options and access to 24-hour emergency service seven days a week, 365 days a year.
According to Michael Iarrapino, who runs the company and serves as its president, no job is too big or too small.' "Commercial, residential, industrial – we do it all," he said. "Our goal is 100-percent customer satisfaction."
Edison's 12,000-plus square-foot South Plainfield facility is stocked with a full line of service and installation parts and equipment and also features a fully automated sheet metal shop. All of the company's service and installation crews drive specially designed vehicles to store parts and tools so that problems can be accurately pinpointed and corrected quickly and efficiently. Additionally, all technicians are trained, certified, licensed and full-time Edison Heating and Cooling employees, not sub-contractors, who are knowledgeable about state codes and building regulations and who can sell, install and service all makes and models of HVAC equipment.
"What sets us apart is our dedication, reliability, integrity and great workmanship," said Michael Iarrapino, adding, "With us, you aren't buying an air conditioning or a heating system you're buying into a company and its dedicated employees. We stand by our products and our work and we go out of the way for our customers. The awards and the reviews we have received prove that."
Listed with the Better Business Bureau as an accredited business, Edison Heating and Cooling maintains an A+ rating and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the 'The Angie's List Super Service Award' (2013), the Carrier President's Award (2013 and 2014) and, over the years, has received the 'Dave Lennox' award and the Lennox 'Circle of Excellence Dealer' award numerous times.

Lack of Supply Chain Talent—or Lack of Talent Management?
via Supply Chain Management Review : Lack of supply chain talent—or lack of talent management?
Young people who go into supply chain and manufacturing jobs complain that employers demand creativity during the hiring process, yet have no tolerance for new ideas in the workplace.
My university has a new and relatively small degree program, but just in the past three years a dozen of our graduates who landed jobs in Fortune 100 companies—several listed on Gartner's Top 25 Supply Chains—have made the same complaint: companies use their reputation to hire over-qualified workers into low-skill jobs. Likely this isn't purposeful deception—hiring supervisors are simply demanding to get the best—yet it's no wonder that young people going through a lengthy hiring process that hypes up the need for well-educated go-getters feel disenchanted when they land in a clerk's position.
It's important to remember that millennials have different job needs than previous generations. They want to be engaged and they have to feel a kinship with the corporate message and vision in order for them to be happy and fully productive.
Talent shortages are about to become a serious concern and the biggest shortfalls are in key supply chain areas like engineers and machinists, IT, factory jobs, truck drivers, and skilled trades—and shortages are likely to become worse in the current immigration climate. America's talent market suffers partly because our country is pricing labor out of the marketplace, with healthcare costs alone increasing 50-percent in the past two years.
On the other hand, there's evidence that companies show little commitment to developing and rewarding needed skills, and companies hire top-notch graduates in order to avoid having to deal with people problems later, which shows that there's likely insufficient training and support as personnel move into supervisory positions.
There's no excuse for companies misleading job applicants, and it's tantamount to a breach of contract to promise excellent career tracks and then refuse to commit to developing that talent.
My concern is how the current environment disproportionately disincentivizes our best and brightest students. Labor still makes up the most expensive resource in most supply chains, yet it often is taken for granted.
Next time you ask, "Why aren't more people interested in supply chain careers?" look first at your talent development strategy—if you have one.

By Wilson Morales
Whenever you get a Christmas film, it's all about the theme of the holiday and how well it should be executed. When you add star power to the film, it should add value and expectations based on the talent involved, so it is with great disappointment that 'The Perfect Holiday' is a waste of time considering the talent assembled. What could have been a film that folks can watch for ages, it's merely something you'd probably consider as a 'bin' movie in a box when you pass by your local video store. As one of the producers of the film and also a big marquee attraction, Queen Latifah is relegated to cameo appearances with hardly dialogue.
Nancy (Union) is a mother of three and the ex-wife of a famous, but obnoxious rapper-singer, J-Jizzy (Murphy). While she lives in a gorgeous mansion and receives alimony and child support from her ex, she still craves for someone to just give her a 'compliment'. That's all she wants for the holidays. While one of her sons is hoping mommy and daddy will get back together, her daughter, Emily, the youngest kid, goes over to Santa Claus (Chestnut) at a local mall and tells him of her mommy's wish. With one look, Benjamin (Santa Claus) is enchanted by what he sees, but feels reluctant to approach her since he's embarrassed about his current gig at the mall, while trying to get his song, in the hands of the J-Jizzy. Yes, Benjamin is a struggling songwriter looking for his break, and with some encouragement from his friend (Love), he's able to get words flowing in both the romantic and job department, after telling some fables. With naysayers like Bah-Humbug (Howard) lurking around, and the angelic narrator (Queen Latifah), it's a battle to keep the spirit of Christmas in tact.
Right off the bat, the disappointment comes with the talent. With a holiday theme, and with a lack of African American Christmas films, it probably wasn't a hard sell to get the likes of Terrence Howard, Morris Chestnut, Gabrielle Union, Jill Marie Jones, Katt Williams, and Charlie Murphy on board, BUT they should have read the script before agreeing to this film. Having Queen Latifah as a producer is one thing, but within the film, she's not a comedian by trade and she's not funny at all and neither is the film. While it's good to see Chestnut and Union together again – this is their third outing, and their chemistry actually works, but the script fails to convince anyone that their characters are genuine. The script is too contrived and predictable for anyone to see anything different. Although each of them are no longer on TV, Jill Marie Jones (formerly of Girlfriends) and Rachel (formerly of Half and Half), still have a fan base that would have wanted to see them do more than play the common girlfriends of Nancy. They added nothing to the film. Granted, neither of them has been seen on the big screen that often, but they shouldn't have sold themselves short. The biggest disappointment was Terrence Howard. Howard is actually in a situation where he can pick and choose his films. Things are going gravy for him, especially when he's doing films with Jodie Foster (The Brave One) and Richard Gere (The Hunting Party) and is half the star of the film. What convinced him to take part of a film where he only appears seldom with hardly any lines? Politics may have played in that decision. As for the comedic aspect of the film, Murphy was the best thing in the film. He played his part for all it was worth, whereas Katt Williams, who's really a good comedian and hot these days, was limited to playing his role straight. Even Martin Lawrence can get a chuckle out of you when he does something dramatic.
If anything, the kids (Malik Hammond and Khalil Bryant) in the film are the driving force why this film may have any appeal. After helming 'The Cookout' a few years, director Lance Rivera still needs to go back in the kitchen and come out with something better than this 'turkey'.
