Network Marketing

Network Marketing vs. Pyramid Scheme by Aaron Chen
I think I need to clear this up once and for all so that I don't have to keep repeating myself.

And I think that those of you in the business can definitely relate to this. As soon as people hear that I am in Network Marketing, the first thing they say is "You mean one of those illegal pyramid schemes?!". And I laugh because there is a huge difference between the two and most people don't know what it is. Firstly I would like to clarify that Network Marketing is legal, and a Pyramid Scheme is illegal.

So what's the difference?

Well, a Pyramid Scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money for enrolling people into a scheme where there is no real product or service. I just want to repeat that. There is NO REAL product or service. So what happens is, eventually the number of new recruits fails to sustain the payment structure and the scheme collapses with most people losing the money they paid in. And the reason is that distributors concentrate on the money that they can earn by recruiting new people and completely ignore the marketing and selling of any products or services. Because there are none!

Network Marketing on the other hand is a business model where a company decides to sell their products direct to the consumer through word of mouth. They use this method instead of paying for advertising costs. So instead of paying the advertising companies, they pay their distributors commissions for doing the work. So in reality, the main goal is to distribute the products.

There are two ways to make money in this industry. By selling the products or by recruiting new distributors. People can do either one or both. But because of the way the business is set up, most distributors naturally consume the products that they distribute as well.

The reason why a lot of people confuse Network Marketing with Pyramid Schemes, is because the shape of the business model for Network Marketing is in the shape of a pyramid.

Unfortunately this confusion is something that will continue to give this industry a bad reputation. But I'm willing to stick it out because it is this pyramid shape that allows so many of us to live the lifestyle that we choose. And it pays the bills!

Photography

Photography for a career by sukhpreet

The most beautiful moments, the most beautiful incidents, the most important events, and many other unforgettable days and scenes are captured in a camera. And the art of clicking these pictures is what is called photography.

A career in photography not only requires natural talent but also the right approach and the right technique, which only comes with a formal training. There are a number of institutes that have now come up formal photography training and education.

The best part about photography is that this field is not restricted... you can choose the kind of photography as per the interests you have.

There are various forms of courses in photography like fashion photography, fine art photography, astrophotography, documentary photography, environmental portrait, fire photography, forensic photography, nature photography, photojournalism, endoscopy, stock photography, street photography, underwater photography, vernacular photography etc.

The kind of photography you choose depends a lot on your personal interests. Someone who likes animals and forests, might be interested in a course in wild life photography, someone who likes fashion related stuff, can opt for fashion photography and similarly for all other forms of photography.

While selecting a photography school, you should look at the big picture. The photography school that you choose must synchronize with your specific career goals. It would also be beneficial if your school of choice provides courses in general business in addition to the photography sessions. This would be of help to you as you move from student to professional status.

Professional photography is not just point-and-shoot method for making a living. This kind of business requires a serious attention to detail and a wide range of skills including mathematics, business management, marketing and more. So just be sure that the photography school that has been chosen by you can provide the knowledge you need in the area of general business education too. Since most of the photographers eventually get into business on their own you will find these to be extremely valuable survival skills that will lend to your success.

Other thing that should be kept in mind is the size of the class as well as the ratio of students to teacher. A lot of students in a photography class can become a hindrance during the training and learning process. Besides that, it prohibits the instructor from providing effective hands-on supervision to each of the students.

Another important criterion that should be kept in mind is proficiency in the area of computers and one should be sure that if the photography school of choice provides learning in this area as well. A good photography school must have courses on usage of basic computer and photography-related advance courses for those who are interested in expanding their knowledge of digital photography as well as specialty software used for creating a digital darkroom. The field of photography is undoubtedly very competitive so it is imperative that you gain education and knowledge in this area as well. It will only add to your skills more.

In the end, do keep in mind that there will be a price tag associated with any kind of education that you plan to take up. So, unless you have all the photography education funding in hand or you are able to get yourself enough loan, it is important to check if the schools provide scholarships or other forms of financial assistance for their students. Other very essential thing, which should be kept in mind, is that you will need to invest in some of your own photography equipment. Therefore, it is recommended that you ask in advance for a listing of equipment that the photography school offers to their students as well as a listing of equipment that you need to buy beforehand. This will, definitely, help you in knowing the total cost of your photography education.

These recommendations will assist you in short-listing of investigation questions so that you can make a wise and well educated decision.

The art of photography which can get a better shape once it is taught from the best school. So, make sure that you take a wise and insightful decision while selecting your institute or colleges in India or abroad; it should be in the lines with your requirements and talent.

Last but not the least; make photography a career choice only if you are absolutely passionate about it.

Introduction

An Introduction to Jobs in Casinos by john mce

Casino jobs require candidates with energy in abundance, an accommodating personality and an ability to work with some of society's less-desireables.

In a land casino you could find yourself on your feet for six to eight hours at a time, with shifts spanning through the night and into the morning. Customers will often treat casino staff with disrespect, but there are many reasons why a casino job is desirable to many applicants.

Employees can expect to enjoy a vibrant and exciting workplace, meeting a unique cross-section of society, and seeing individuals winning big money on the roulette wheel or card table. There is no special training required for an entry-level casino job, although a clean criminal record and proof of being over the legal gambling age will be essential.

Floor Jobs

In a casino, 'the floor' describes the entire gambling area. From slot machines to blackjack tables, roulette wheels to bar and restaurant facilities, jobs on the floor of a casino are great for people who enjoy interacting with other people. There is a variety of roles available, such as bartenders, dealers and security.

Because they represent the casino, floor staff are under a lot of scrutiny. You're unlikely to be considered for a job on the floor if you have tattoos or unconventional hair. If you can't compromise on your appearance then a floor job won't suit you. If you have a passion for customer service and bags of energy, you can expect to make over the minimum wage with tips.

Cashier Jobs

Are numbers your strength? Some accounting experience is preferential for cashier jobs in a casino, but a provable grasp of maths could be enough. As well as counting money, you can be creating invoices incolcing cash, chips, credit cards, coupons and vouchers. Organisational skills are essential for these jobs.

Managerial Jobs

One of the greatest things about casino jobs, is that employees have an opportunity and real possibility of rising through the ranks quickly despite a lack of qualifications or experience. Promotions are also easily obtained because casinos tend to have high turnover of staff. After one or two seasons in a casino you could find yourself being promoted to a managerial role based on sheer seniority.

Casino management can be stressful though, and it could involve dealing with unfortunate individuals who have gambled away their life savings. If you've dealt with angry customers in customer service positions in the past, then you can imagine how difficult some of these customers can be.

Keep Your Computer Healthy

Good Habits to Keep Your Computer Healthy and Virus Free. by Jonathan Waller

To prevent another disastrous virus from infecting your computer you must take some important precautions. The reason you got a virus in the first place was probably a mistake. The best part of being human is making mistakes, this is because we learn from them and they usually never or rarely ever happen again. The following steps will help you from ever getting a virus again and keep your computer healthy forever.

1. Always keep anti virus software up to date. Most software now a days has the ability to update automatically this was created because we are usually too busy to worry about constantly checking if are anti virus programs are up to date. Disabling this setting is not recommended as it is very handy to have running. 2. Another ability most software offers is set scan times. When you install your anti virus software for the first time all you have to do is set a date and time to periodically scan, preferably while your asleep, and your anti virus software will scan without you ever having to think about it again. Most even offer the option of shutting down the computer when they it is done! 3. Keep your operating system updated. Security patches are released regularly to combat hackers who take advantage of vulnerabilities they discover. Just like anti virus software, most operating systems offer automatic updates so you never have to worry about doing it manually. You can turn this setting on in windows by going to control panel and clicking on windows updates. 4. Block unwanted connections using a firewall. On many occasions, hackers can still access your computer even with an anti virus program installed. Firewalls create another hurdle that hackers must pass which greatly reduces the chance of an infection. 5. Getting some sort of Spyware blocker. Spyware is not always detected by virus scanners. If your spyware was installed on your computer by a virus then you remove the virus, the spyware can still remain functional on your computer.

Following these tips should greatly reduce your chances of making another mistake and getting another virus. Preventing bad habits that you used to do can keep your computer in healthy state.

Alternatives to an Electronic

Some Alternatives to an Electronic Medical Records System by Gen Wright

A couple of years ago we faced a lack of office space for our patient charts; we considered purchasing more space. As I'd been examining EMR systems for ophthalmology practices, it felt like the time to go paperless was finally at hand. Since that time we've planned out and worked on severing our ties to paper record-keeping. A full conversion to an EMR system requires a substantial investment in terms of both time and money. As we are a medium-sized practice with nine physicians and more than one hundred staff over five locations, we have the required staff and resources to realize this goal. But what can a smaller practice do, or one which cannot financially commit to such a large project? Electronic medical records (EMR) systems require the input of data, and stores it electronically into a database.

The data can then be utilized in a nearly limitless way - or at least the limits are set by the software and the imagination of the user. EMR systems with increased levels of flexibility can be intimidating to the novice, which includes most of us physicians. However, once a system has been set up and modified, an EMR system can be quite powerful. In short, the more extensive the customizations on the front end, the greater the end user rewards on the back end. What are alternatives to a totally digital electronic medical records system if a practice wants to bypass the initial expense and effort to customize these systems? Some medical practices have purchased EPM and EMR products but aren't using them at full ability. Staff write notes as they usually would, which are then scanned into the system. This is called a 'scanning solution.' Many EPM systems, regardless of if they have EMR or not, contain a module for scanning letters, paper records, or photos. The result is called an EMR/EHR, or electronic medical record or health record. However, because there's no actual data entry required by the user, it's not a true EMR system. The advantage of using this type of system is that practices can use the existing EPM to process the volume of paper documents without the expense of another EMR system. This same practice can then shred documents as they are scanned in, eliminating the need for storage space. There is a disadvantage here, however - since clinical data isn't entered into the system, it can't be retrieved for meaningful use. For example, the system probably couldn't follow a trend in interocular pressure over time, or pull up all the patients who have been prescribed a particular medication. This sort of information may be extremely valuable for info auditing, as in the case of pay-for-performance reviews. A less-expensive alternate would be a stand-alone scanning solution; for example, the one offered by SRS Software. This could be used by practices which don't have a complete EPM system in place. The solution can also be a temporary measure as a medical practice chooses a complete EMR system. Scanning solutions can also be quite useful for archiving large volumes of paper records. Again, no data entry is required as this is a digital copy of handwritten charts. Some of the benefits of using a scanning solution like this are that they have a small learning curve, lower costs, and no require no real change in the way physicians normally work. These systems have a higher implementation success rate, as compared to EMR systems. Finally, practices which aren't yet ready to depart from the comfort of paper records still have ways to increase efficiency while making patient charts more legible. Many practices use hand-written notes on blank paper, written by the physicians. It is unfortunate that these records are too often misinterpreted in audits, so the time savings of jotting a quick note can prove to be quite costly if misunderstood. Several forced-entry forms require the checking or circling of symptoms and signs, along with clinical findings, in an entry. These ensure that the appropriate components for billing and coding are included within the documentation.

Electronic Medical

Electronic Medical Records - Preparing Staff Members by Gen Wright

In order to implement important changes at your practice, you must gain buy-in from the staff. The executive search firm Korn/Ferry International cites one of the most common management mistakes as the situation when a new executive tries to implement many new strategies and changes. If this executive fails to take the existing culture into consideration when they arrive, their initiatives often fail.

For example, consider the controlling manager who arrives at a business only to discover that the employees work collaboratively. This combination can lead to a significant struggle and obstacles. Alternately, let's consider the savvy executive who approaches the situation with an ability to acclimate, who discovers ways to work in harmony with the existing culture and style at the firm. The latter approach can significantly assist your efforts to gain cooperation from staff when implementing the change from paper records to electronic medical records.

Proper planning and the ability to adjust during the process are two tools that can help you avoid the need to drop an electronic medical records project. A cancellation usually equates to a large negative cost to a particular practice. The 'Change Management' process, one which touts navigating change in a careful and systematic way, is a great tool to employ during this time.

Adaptable Electronic Medical Records Systems : 10 Key Factors

1 - Be clear and concise in speaking to each individual. Everyone should understand what is happening and what is expected from each. As long as having confidence doesn't mean being unrealistic, it can be good for morale when problems arise. Be prepared to calm the fears of some staff.

2 - The need for a change will not go unquestioned. Present your case in a formal, referenced way which proves the benefits of changing over to a paperless system. Users need an incentive to change their habits, and won't actually use the new tool otherwise.

3 - Maintain good communications by keeping a dialogue channel open, encouraging participation at each step. The plan should also include a time line of actions for completion. Make sure to give the staff all the required information in the implementation process.

4 - Address the aspects of the culture with explicit intent and detail. People can be expected to learn new skills on a gradual basis, taking baby steps toward learning more about technology, including advanced systems such as EBM and EMR. Resistant doctors could cause delays.

5 - The presence of problems is a constant reality; expect the unexpected. These types of occurrences could push back the system go-live date, and the effects will reverberate throughout the organization. Use the correct degree of flexibility to manage these effects.

6 - When gaining acceptance, start at the top. The top tier of staff members, especially physicians and administrators, should be on board with the program, including any champions for the cause. If you have strong allies with the right technological skill and without a naive level of optimism, it could assist the entire campaign.

7 - Always acknowledge the human aspects. Without acceptance from the staff, a change to a new system could ultimately fail. The prospect of change often adds anxiety to the mix of human emotions, and this should be acknowledged during the process.

8 - People should get involved at every level, so that everyone feels they contributed to the outcome. A committee of staff members, formed to create a proposal for delivery to the physicians, is another excellent tool. This committee should be formed from those who will ultimately use the EMR: administrators, business staff, and medical assistants.

9 - Always make identifications and assessments of core values and beliefs in a cultural assessment, including possible sources of conflict or resistance. People often become set in their ways, resisting change as a general rule.

10 - The leaders of the group should take ownership over project elements. As these staff members have better credibility with their subordinates compared to the physicians, these people are crucial and should be first trained in the new system, then passing the info on through training.
