Q: angularjs transclude not working in my customized directive Can any one take a look at my simple directive and figure out why the transclude is not working?
html:

Your name
<input ng-model="name"></input><button ng-click="greeting()">click</button>
    <greeter nationality="English" name="{{name}}">Hahahahah</greeter>
    <greeter nationality="French" name="{{name}}">Hahahahah</greeter>
    <greeter nationality="Russian" name="{{name}}">Hahahahah</greeter>

js:
var app = angular.module("app", []);

app.controller("MainController", function($scope) {

});

app.directive("greeter", function() {
  return {
    restrict: "AE",
    scope: {
      name: "@",
      nationality: "@"
    },
    transclude: true,
    template: "
{{name}}

",
    link: function(scope, elem, attr, ctrl) {
      scope.$watch("name", function() {
        elem.html(greeting + " " + scope.name);
      });
      var greeting = "";
      if (scope.nationality === "English") {
        greeting = "Hello";
      }
      else if (scope.nationality === "French") {
        greeting = "Bonjour";
      }
      else {
        greeting = "Howdy";
      }
    }
  };
});

A: You are overwriting the transcluded content when you insert the greeting text with elem.html(...).
Rather than manipulate the DOM with  jqLite, you can include the greeting text directly in your template.  For this to work, greeting must be a scope property (scope.greeting instead of var greeting).
template: "
{{greeting}} {{name}}

",
link: function(scope, elem, attr) {
  if (scope.nationality === "English") {
    scope.greeting = "Hello";
  } else if (scope.nationality === "French") {
    scope.greeting = "Bonjour";
  } else {
    scope.greeting = "Howdy";
  }
}

If you want to try the code for yourself, here it is on Plunkr.

Dmytro and Phillip
Despite his love for the country where he was born and raised, Dmytro Pichakhchi refuses even to think about returning home. Only after moving to the United States, he finally felt safe and began living a full life in which there was no room for hatred.
If I don't leave, I will die
In Kyiv, feelings of hopelessness and physical threat constantly plagued me. When I went to a store or a cafe, I was trying to assess the potential danger: who was there, how they looked at you, what to expect. One day I went on a date with a guy to the cinema, the people who were there asked, "Are you gay? We are going to make sure that you do not kiss". After 2015 Pride, I started receiving threatening text messages. A group of ultranationalists got my picture; my friends and I were hiding as we were afraid of violence. The feeling of constant fear paralyzes, you turn into a vegetable and cannot live normally. I read stories about the beating of LGBT people and realized that it was only a matter of time before they would come after me. On the one hand, we had a Revolution of Dignity, people woke up, started going abroad, and see other behavior patterns, but little has changed in Ukraine. I understood: if I don't leave, I will die.
I have only one fear — to come back to Ukraine.
When the Pride ended, my boyfriend and I took the tickets and flew to visit a friend who lived in New York. We planned to have a rest for two weeks, take a break, exhale. However, when the vacation came to an end, I felt that I did not want to return. I no longer had the strength to live in constant fear and tension. We found a pro bono lawyer who helped to properly apply for political asylum (in the United States, law firms have to work a certain number of hours helping for free). It's been five years, I haven't had an interview yet - the lines are so long - but I was given a work permit six months later.
When I left Ukraine, I had a million fears. At the moment I have only one - to go back.
Activism in the USA
Many times on Ukrainian gay forums I saw statements that we should sit quietly and not show up, then we will not have any problems. It's hard for me to understand because living underground is a sad prospect. I participated in the Kyiv Pride and continue to do so in the United States, although there is a difference in the philosophy of the event in these two countries. In the States, it is a celebration of visibility and security. People (sometimes very different) come together to show: we exist, we are together, we fought for our rights and we won. In the New York Pride, there is a column of the city administration, a column of firefighters, police. It shows that we are all one society, and there is no difference between us. Going to the streets, the American LGBT community notes the fact that it once ceased to tolerate violence and bullying, took the path of fighting and successfully went through it. Pride in Ukraine is a march for rights that people do not have yet. The event is organized by only a few courageous activists, as society is not yet ready to unite and openly demand equality. In my first year in the United States, I was in a column of immigrants from post-Soviet countries, mostly Russia. However, it was difficult to find common language with them. Even though these people fled because of the policy of hatred and persecution, they supported the imperial rhetoric and were not ready to treat Ukrainians with respect. I felt uncomfortable going under the Russian flag and talking to people who respect Putin and consider Crimea part of Russia. I love Ukraine, I wish it well, and I left not because I wanted to, but because I had no other choice. By the way, the conflict with Russian-speaking LGBT people helped me integrate into American society more quickly, despite my terrible English.
For the next two years, I went to Pride with other columns - international and under the auspices of the human rights organization Amnesty International. Until 2019, we organized a separate Ukrainian-Georgian column, uniting immigrants from those countries that did not want to be under the Russian tricolor.
Returning to the comparison of Ukrainian and American Prides, I want to share a small episode. It's 2016, summer, heat, long event. I see a priest and nuns coming out of the church nearby. My heart was about to burst, I was thinking to myself: well, it's all starting now. But they did not utter curses and call for repentance. The women took out water and gave it to the participants of the pride, and the priest held a garbage bag for used plastic cups.
My second mother
As an activist and openly gay, I did not have a warm relationship with my family. They treated me like I was mentally ill and just put up with me. My father and I did not speak for ten years; he only called before he died and talked to me for a minute. I was not close to my mother, either. She only supported me when I told her on the phone that I was staying in the United States. She said that this was the right decision because, in Ukraine, we live like in a swamp, so maybe I will build a normal life in the US. My brother thought I was a disgrace to my family: only 15 years after my coming out, we learned to communicate with each other. I have never known what care and love are, from childhood, I was on my own.
But being an adult, I met a person who became my second mother. Her name is Anna Georgiivna, but I call her mother Anya. She is the mother of my close friend, whose place I lived for some time in Kyiv. Thanks to this bright woman, I understood what faith and support were without a shadow of judgment. I remember once I went to a nightclub, and suddenly mom Anya called and asked if everything was fine with me because she was worried. Then, at the age of 19, for the first time in my life, I felt what it was like when someone cared about you. Now we chat with her 2-3 times a week. Last year, she came to visit me in New York, and together we walked in a column at the pride. I told everyone that she was my mother because I consider her my mother.
Anna Georgiivna became one of the co-founders of the Ukrainian public organization TERGO for parents and relatives of LGBT children. It's hard to believe, but some activists said she had no right to be a member of the LGBT movement because she didn't have a gay son. However, this woman "adopted" someone's child and loved him as her son. Is there anything more beautiful?
Healing love
When I came to America, I was completely disoriented. Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I were not ready for the new reality as a couple, so we decided to end our relationship. However, three months later, I met Philip, a man I am still together with. We met in the street, but the irony is that at that time I did not speak English at all. We talked using gestures: he texted me and I google translated his messages, he shared his coordinates on the map so that I could come on a date. I used charades trying to explain words I didn't know. One day we were sitting together, and I said to Philip, "You don't understand me." He replied, "I don't understand, but it doesn't matter because I love you."
Philip is 20 years older than me, but I don't feel the age difference. The only thing that sets us apart is the way we grew up and lived because it formed different worldviews. Philip was born into a family where parents supported their children, respected their personalities, and encouraged them to find their way. He is wise, balanced, and teaches me to look at the world differently. I have always considered myself open to any human manifestations because I am an LGBT activist, but thanks to Philip I saw how far from the truth I was. I could point to a woman who I thought was dressed silly or complain out loud about an impolite waitress. Philip was calmly explaining that people should not be judged; they should be treated with understanding and respect under any circumstances. Maybe the waitress just had a bad day, and instead of arguing, I should smile and try to cheer her up.
After meeting Philip, I realized that we are all traumatized in Ukraine. It's not so much about sexual orientation, but more about constant guilt complex that has been instilled in us since childhood. He asks me, "Why are Ukrainians always showing their care through violence?" And this is true because when I shout that I will not let him out without a jacket, because it is cold over there, I show my love this way. Fortunately, Philip knows this and patiently teaches me other behavioral scenarios. My mother Anya is happy for me, and she keeps asking how Philipchik is doing. When she came to visit us, she always tried to feed him something tasty. I've never been jealous before, and now I feel something like jealousy, jokingly, of course. I could have never imagined that my mom would care about my boyfriend's feelings. I am a very happy person.

The Amway approach supposedly avoids impersonal door-to-door sales, as each distributor need only sell directly to a small customer base of friends and family. Business "growth"—and an ascent to the flashier "bonus levels" (Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, Executive Diamond, Double Diamond, Crown Ambassador)—comes mostly through expanding one's downline. In theory, this odd marketing system ensures that benefits accrue not to Madison Avenue slicksters, but to ordinary folk capitalizing on their close-knit community ties—a scheme that seemingly reflects the small-town, Protestant populism of Amway's co-founders, Rich DeVos and Jay VanAndel.
I think of my family's time in Amway as achievement tourism. We left reality for a moment and believed the impossible was possible. My dad still wonders if there's more he could have done, if there's a way for him to have succeeded in Amway – admitting in the next breath that there isn't. My parents tried everything. At each turn, the people they thought were supposed to be helping them – their upline, yes, but really the overall structure of the Amway Corporation itself – actually stood in their way. They built dreams and worked to achieve them, but the only people who benefited from their work were the people already on top.
Figuring out the arcana of Amway took months. The price list, for instance, is denominated in two artificial Amway currencies called "Point Value" (PV) and "Bonus Volume" (BV), which are listed alongside the U.S. dollar-denominated wholesale ("Distributor Cost") and "Suggested Retail" prices. But for all the arcana, the system's core concept was simple.
It was hard enough to get people to sign up for Amway. My parents, in describing their experience, said that most people had heard of the company and believed it was a pyramid scheme. In fact, part of my parents' strategy for 'showing The Plan' was that they didn't even tell people it was Amway until the very end of their presentation – then they signed them up on the spot. If they couldn't sign them up right then, they invited them to a meeting. Most of the time, even though they told them not to talk to anybody about Amway before the meeting, the prospect would go to their brother-in-law, who would tell them it was crap. 'And if they make it to the meeting, this guy' – the creepy guy in the upline – 'stands up there and is a complete ass,' says my dad. 'And the people that you encouraged and cajoled, they take a look at you and say, 'What?' And then they don't return your phone call.'
I got sucked into this program only to find out to get started you have to spend $300 in your store each month. This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't stuck part-time at Wal-Mart. I could flex my schedule to fit my mentor's just fine, I already thought the way they want you to in the first place, and I welcomed learning new things but I just couldn't afford it and no one is going to help you because they're all trying to make their own business succeed. Then I tried talking to my mentor and he seemed more selfish than anything. I would have to starve myself on perfect water and protein bars and he only thought about how me leaving would affect HIM. I hate people, always will and this just made my social seclusion worse. If you are reading this to because you just got dragged into too, don't follow through with it unless you have extra money to throw around. I was also learning nothing I didn't already know. And you'll always hear people saying "Well if you knew how, why aren't you successful like us?" Well my answer is because I haven't tried yet. Every meeting you hear the exact same things. I even had the infortunity to go to this year's Spring Leadership. The most interesting part of it was the band at the very beginning. Every person had the same thing to say, the only diversity is how they got to where they are now. My mentor is extremely unequipped to teach anyone. He may have been mentored by the most famous Diamonds in Edmonton but in two years he's not even Eagle.
This hard truth belies Amway's populism, its promise that success depends merely on getting in on the ground floor, and that every floor is the ground floor. Deep down, Josh may have realized that an Amway easy enough for even him to master would soon self-destruct. This buried consciousness surfaced, for example, in the way he consoled himself with weird probability statistics. He knew how many levels deep he had to extend his downline (something like six) before he was certain to recruit someone with a knack for huckstering, providing a rising tide on which Josh could float. It was unlikely, of course, that a guy like Josh could spawn a six-level downline without the help of such a person, but that simply masked a deeper improbability: that there were enough of these theoretical master salesmen to go around to every schlub who couldn't succeed otherwise.
The move unified the various Amway companies worldwide. "We're now reintroducing our brands in North America, moving away from Quixtar and going back to the Amway name", said Steve Lieberman, managing director of Amway Global. "We decided there were a number of roads we had to go down in order to recreate awareness for a brand that, quite frankly, a lot of people felt had gone away."[5]
Disguising the upward flow of fees within a downward flow of commissions definitely has its advantages. One of the decisive factors in the 1979 FTC decision exonerating Amway from allegations of pyramiding was that most of its revenues came from product sales, not from enrollment fees. The assumption is that those sales are based on rational consumer choices—made on the basis of price and quality—and that the money paid into the bonus system is not an extraneous surcharge, but merely the portion other corporations would pour into their marketing budgets. Amway claims, in fact, that it's able to save even its small time distributors money by avoiding things like pricey mass advertising. These savings are the source of the alleged wholesale 30 percent Basic Discount that every distributor is supposed to enjoy even before the bonuses kick in.
Amway stresses that the main difference between a legitimate MLM business model and a pyramid scheme is that a legitimate MLM is focused on selling products, not recruiting more salespeople. In a legitimate MLM, it should be possible to make money by simply selling products directly to customers. With that main criterion in mind, here are some other ways to identify product-based pyramid schemes:
Amway allows me to buy health, beauty, and home care products in a fashion that no other site does. It provides multi level marketing which builds a relationship between buyer and seller. However, the thing I would change about this company is to make their service more user friendly. As of right now it is extremely difficult for me to navigate their site to search for items I want. My overall experience for using this company has been rather well thus far. In terms of product selection, there are a large catalog of products that I can choose from. The purchasing process is as streamlined as any other site and the customer service has been impeccable too.
In 1983, Rich DeVos, one of Amway's founders, made recordings which, among other things, communicated his displeasure with several issues regarding some of the high ranking distributors/IBOs. These recordings are entitled "Directly Speaking"[45][46] and were addressed to Direct Distributors (now called Platinums), who are considered leaders with various responsibilities for their downline group. In January 1983 Rich DeVos announced that Amway would pay Business Volume (BV) on Amway produced tapes. He expressed concern about the level of income from the sale of Business Support Materials (BSM; tapes, CDs, books, and business conferences/functions) compared to the income the high level distributors were making from Amway products. He stated his legal team was concerned if the tool income exceeded 10% of their Amway income, and stated that BV payouts on tapes can never exceed 20%[47] of the distributor's total Business Volume.
Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel initially founded the Ja-Ri Corporation, a multi-level marketing distributorship for Nutrilite products, in 1949. Ja-Ri was incorporated in 1959, and changed its name to "Amway" (American Way) in 1963. As of 2012, Amway operates in more than 100 countries around the world. In 1999, the founders of the Amway corporation launched a sister Internet-based company named Quixtar. The Alticor corporation owns both Amway and Quixtar, plus several other concerns. Quixtar replaced the North American business of Amway in 2001 after the majority of the distributors moved to Quixtar, with Amway operating in the rest of the world.
This is not the man who brought my dad in but a man somewhere above him. He was what The Business calls a 'phony Emerald.' To meet the criteria for the pin level, he'd force the people in his organization to order extra product in order to grow his volume and push him across the finish line each month – not that he turned much of a profit doing so, as he had to pass it all on to his own upline. 'Well, the Emerald pin doesn't mean anything unless your organization is solid,' said my dad. 'So you got a pin – you're not making the money.' Eventually, my dad says, Vincent was stripped of the Emerald pin because he couldn't maintain the sales by force alone.
Amwayers are like vampires: To join them, you must invite them into your home. Unpacking the Starter Kit was mainly Jean's show, she being the most balanced of my upline trio, the calmest and least prone to outbursts of enthusiasm. (Josh limited himself to preparing my contract and casting a longing gaze every time my roommate ventured out of his room.) Jean was also the only one who had actually read the Amway Business Manual (included in the Kit). Nonetheless, she deferred to Josh: He did the "more important" work of "building" The Business, while she performed the womanly tasks of customer service.
Thank you very much for your review. I would do this perhaps in my spare time outside of work hours. I would of course find it difficult as you said going to all these house parties as such as it does chew up alot of time. Yes I have done some studying into pyramid stuff and mlms. What I am finding with network marketing nowadays and residual income is the point of making actual money and it takes an awful lots of work to get to where you want to be knowing where the founders where before you. It often feels depressing and that you are just paddling nowhere fast. Anyways, I find internet marketing somewhat similar but different from network marketing. Or is it the same thing? Anyways, I'm not sure where to turn as Different network marketing things i read reviews of people who paid this or paid that and got no refund ect ect. I like amway drink and bars and personally i would not want to keep any stock as some people do as I would have no place for it but i definatelly feel different after taking it for some reason. Its giving my body what it needs and what most people dont get daily. I feel that i need more when i drink the drink and eat the bar. Anyways, I still would like to do it but the problem i am facing in not wanting to do it is not that it is scam or anything it is all the work. I am not scared to talk to people i done public speaking many times and acted in school plays. It's all the work of going to this party or that party house part ect ect. Lots of running around and stuff. Anyways, Thanks for your comments
Haven't you heard that dialogue from a friend before? It turns out to be a typical "Multi Level Marketing" in which you are supposed to pay a certain amount to become a member (and maybe get a gift which costs much lesser than the membership amount) and later refer it to your friends and convince them also to join it. In the process, when the friends pay the membership amount, you are awarded with some partial amount and when they in turn refer to their friends, they will be awarded some money, and since you are their "parent", you will also get some money. As the process continues recursively, you "end up having a source of unlimited passive income!!". Although it sounds very rosy, it is practically not possible to sustain this business model. It is unfortunate that most of the aspirants who get their hands burnt in such schemes are ambitious people from the software industry who actually have very good analytical minds but fail to make use of it to evaluate these models.
Amway is based out of Ada, MI, and has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, with only 11 closed complaints over the past three years. It appears that Amway has a generally negative reputation among IBOs, and the most common complaints we encountered during our research cited difficulty making money, high prices, and dishonest recruiting tactics.
My wife started to sell this stuff. After a few months, everything in our house was Amway crap, bought with my money at ridiculous prices. My family could not talk with her without her mentioning Amway in every breath. In an attempt to discover what was going on, I went with her to an Amway seminar. Around a thousand people all screaming and shouting "fired up" and cheering the pompus rich asses paraded on stage as Diamond distributos. After the show I went around back and see that these "Diamonds" drove old beat-up cars. I saw how easy it is to brainwash people at cult meetings.
One Republican who caught the DeVos family's ire was Paul Muxlow, a realtor and former educator elected to the state house in 2010, representing a mostly rural district in southeast Michigan. Muxlow was a dependable conservative, but disliked the idea of eliminating the cap on the number of charter schools. While he was fine with charter schools in underserved communities, he said he couldn't support them in rural areas—"It would kill those districts," he explained to the Detroit Free Press in 2014. When the cap elimination came before the state Legislature in 2011, it passed with Muxlow voting against it. The following year, when he ran for reelection, he faced a blitz of attacks from GLEP, which didn't even need his district, but spent just under $185,000 to take him out in the primary. Muxlow won by just 132 votes.
Lmao i like how these amway fanboys are calling people that have real jobs broke lol 99% fail rate.. Dont use that excuse that people don't put in the work, I can put in 100% effort to sell dogshit, but I wont make anything cuz its still dogshit. You are ignoring the 99% fail rate and apparently ignoring the 100% success rate if you get a real job. I heard someone saying you aren't bound to the 9-5 chains in amway . As a Real business owner and many real business owners know that in owning a Real business u wish u had that 9-5 and thats it. Owning a real business is 24/7. So pull ur heads out of ur asses
In the beginning, my parents put between ten and fifteen hours a week into their business – per the company's recommendation. But over time, my dad's enthusiasm began to wear off. 'You say to yourself, 'What the hell for?'' he says now. 'So that somebody can come in and then not return your calls? You take them to a meeting and there's a jerk up there who's embarrassing? I had no way, no avenue to get people in there and get them excited.'
Nike and Apple have been partnered for 3 years. They don't need to market and advertise that to create volume. That's what we do. Also, amway is designed initially to be part time,no full time. I worked a full time job, while putting in time to build a business online. I don't need to explain what we make now but it's enough to make a living. Look up the BBB if you want to do "research".
Amway breaks down its commission by PV and BV. The PV is your total point value for monthly sales, while your BV is percentage cash value based on the PV. There are possible bonuses at certain PV levels. The actual cash value of your downline is predictably complicated and, like credit card points, cleverly encourage more spending on Amway's products.
Josh felt that duplication worked in the other direction as well. If he emulated the multi-multi-millionaires ("multi-multi's" for short) above him—and did exactly what they said they had done—he would succeed as they had. In his mind, his interests were already merged with theirs. He would boast of their accomplishments, tell me how their bonuses just kept "getting better and better all the time!" For him, of course, bigger bonuses for uplines simply meant a more powerful drain on his income. But that kind of self-defeating "stinking thinking" missed the point, as far as Josh was concerned. By "visualizing" great wealth, by worshiping great wealth, and by imitating the consuming habits of the great and wealthy, he would somehow obtain great wealth.
Great people; love their company and the Grand Rapids area; devoted to Amway's founding values of self-determination, opportunity, etc. Great place if you want to stay and grow with the same company for many years; everyone is open to the idea that you'll switch roles and teams more than once for the sake of personal growth and satisfaction. Great place to feel like you are cared about by the company.
Oh boy have i and everything to describe is 1000% accurate. The part were my higher intelligence kicked in is when they wanted access to my contacts. Why would i give you my contacts to market to. Thats called seo search engine optimization leads companys pay each other tons of money for leads but i'm suppose to give my contacts to my team leader for free and they profit from my sales. All it really takes is a little common sense to see through the con.
From time to time the absurdities and contradictions of The Business would surface in Josh's conversation. In one of his many unguarded moments, he voiced a preference for Amway Scrub Rite because it ran out more quickly than the "superconcentrated" Amway cleaners, enabling him to buy it more often. Catching himself, he quickly added, "Of course, it still lasts a long time." This puzzled me. Why was Josh so eager to shovel money at Amway? The rational thing would be to minimize his own purchases while strong-arming his downlines into buying as much as possible. But, of course, if everyone did that, the whole business would evaporate. This is Amway's central dilemma.
We took photographs of one another inside our dreams: Here I am, a skinny nine-year-old posing proudly next to a kidney-shaped pool. Here's my mother in a pair of khaki shorts and a Hawaiian shirt descending a marble staircase. And my father, two thumbs up, lying on a king-sized canopy bed. We visualized, yes – but then we went one step further and made visual. We stepped inside our dreams, literally.
Studies of independent consumer watchdog agencies have shown that between 990 and 999 of 1000 participants in MLMs that use Amway-type pay plans in fact lose money.[115][116][citation needed] According to The Skeptic's Dictionary, "In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission requires Amway to label its products with the message that 54% of Amway recruits make nothing and the rest earn on average $65 a month."[117]
It was very good at the beginning, loved the selection. The products went a long way, they were very effective and did the job, I loved the personal interaction with the distributor, things came on time and full order. However, products were not cost effective, they were very expensive to ship and the constant pressure to become a distributor was unnerving. I just wanted to buy the products annually.
Amway is unethical way of making money. Their representative lure you to this smartly designed plan. Amway's representatives misguide and misinform like any other business or a product's sale representatives. which is attractive to listen for the first time with the 'Entrepreneur" motto. But it is another way of making money leaving you frustrated in the end. I advise every one not to join this unethical product promotion. Parent company is becoming richer,leaving you as "partner" (as it's trained representatives claim) in total despair in the end. It is your hard earned money,think smartly before lending it to someone's hand.
The company has a lot of great products, shipping can take up to 5 days, but their guarantee is amazing. Compensation plan is second to none, but YOU NEED TO PUT IN WORK to make it actually work. If you are a go getter or ambitious, this is for you. If you aren't then probably not. Lot's of really great people and NEVER had a weird experience. Just business minded people who are looking to get ahead.
Maria you must be committed to the business and do what the business tells you to do. Many people leave Amway simply because their upline wasn't a great leader for them and eventually they lose confidence in themselves. The business requires you to buy their products monthly and recruit people into the business for PV. The amount of PV determines your level in the business. There is too much to explain. Speak to an IBO about the plan. All I can tell you is that the business is great, they offer you bonuses once you begin succeeding your way through, but it is up to you how far you go in the business. Just like any business, you must invest. One man made it to the Emerald level (around $10,000/per month +bonuses) in ONE YEAR. It all depends on how much you want to succeed. I am in Team Vision and I am glad I found this gem of a company. Good Luck to you if you apply!
The 2018 AGER was conducted by Amway, in partnership with Prof. Dr. Isabell M. Welpe from the Chair of Strategy and Organization of the School of Management, Technical University of Munich, Germany. Fieldwork was completed by the Gesellschaft fuer Konsumforschung, Nuremberg, from April through June 2017. Results are shared with the scientific community, including the 44 AGER academic advisors and all interested think tanks and academic and public institutions.

How Leicester based employability projects, YES and GREAT, are working with two local organisations to provide health and wellbeing support to unemployed individuals.
Clock Icon 20 May 2021
As the UK slowly emerges out of lockdown, the effects of the pandemic are rife within the communities of Leicestershire, with many individuals now unemployed or facing more barriers when it comes to finding work or training opportunities. Two Leicester based projects exist that can help to tackle this.
Voluntary Action LeicesterShire (VAL) deliver two employability projects that are funded by the European Social Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund; the Getting Ready for Employment and Training (GREAT) Project and the Youth Employability Support (YES) Project. The projects, which are free to access, set out to reduce social isolation and increase employability skills by offering support that can help with a range of topics, including health and well-being.
Combined, the GREAT and YES Projects have supported over 1,200* individuals to date, helping 39% of those move into work, training or further education, with many more seeing improvement in their confidence and skills. However, to better support the individuals they work with, the projects have enlisted the help of two local organisations to provide health and wellbeing support to participants; Optima UK and Trans4m Leicester CIC.
Whilst both projects offer tailored and holistic support to help individuals move into work, training or education, they each work with different audiences. The GREAT Project specifically helps members of families that are unemployed, whereas the YES Project works with young adults, aged 15 – 24, that are not in employment, education or training.
Working with GREAT, Optima UK will be providing a range of sessions designed to support individuals overcome any health or wellbeing concerns they have that prevents them from moving into employment or training. The topics covered are relevant to a variety of needs and change regularly, but include themes such as: managing low mood or worry; having health conversations with employers; developing healthy habits and managing health at work. The sessions are delivered as group sessions and on a one-to-one basis, dependent on need and circumstances.
Delivering to YES participants, Trans4m Leicester CIC are providing a series of three workshops that aim to help young people better understand their health, find out how their choices affect it, and gain skills that will help them to feel healthier and more positive. Made up of three modules: 'self-assessment', 'positive steps' and 'moving on', young people will try out a range of activities including mindfulness, exercise and preparing healthy snacks. The workshops are delivered by an expert health practitioner who ensures that the course is not just educational, but also fun, and the young people will also get the opportunity to meet others in a supportive, friendly environment.
Vandna Gohil, the Executive Manager for both projects, said:
"It's a really exciting time for both the GREAT and YES Projects having secured health and wellbeing provision from Optima UK and Trans4m Leicester CIC. They will offer much needed bespoke and tailored support to all of our participants."
Both projects are pleased to say they are accepting new referrals and encourages direct contact from young adults, family, friends, stakeholders and referring organisations to get in touch. For more information about the GREAT Project or the YES Project, please contact the team by email or make a referral via their website.

Some of Tom Lehrer's work falls into the same category, probably most famously so the "element song". He himself, however, seems to agree with [baf]. Q: "Mr Lehrer, I thought it might interest you to know that because of your "the element song", I got a higher grade in my chemistry class this year." A: "Congratulations, but I hope you learned a little actual chemistry too." [jutta, Apr 22 2000]

Science is not simply a collection of facts! To actually learn science is to learn observation and critical thinking - not to memorize the things scientists have figured out, but to learn how they figured them out, and how to figure them out yourself. Better mnemonics would only encourage the most anti-scientific aspect of science education: the tendency to tell rather than show.
— baf, Apr 22 2000
I agree with [baf] but sometimes memorization is neccesary... those are the cases in which songs are useful.
The Sun is a mass Of incandescent gas; A gigantic nuclear FUR-nace!
Where hydrogen is burned Into He-Lee-Um At temperatures of millions of degrees!

The sun is hot, The sun is not A place where we could live. But here on Earth there'd be no life without the light it gives!!
It's a long way from Amphiloxus; it's a long way to us;
It's a long way from Amphiloxus to the meanest human cuss!!
Goodbye notochord and gill-slits, Helll-o lungs and brains!
It's a long, long way from Amphiloxus
But that's from whence we came.
— hello_c, Sep 08 2000
baf and malakh both have valid points. I'm studying information technology and have found some mnemonics useful, but in the end you have to think for yourself. Let's just hope music does more for science than it did for history in Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"!
— BobStCul, Oct 18 2000
The sun, it burns up in the sky, Far higher than the birds can fly, The moon, it orbits about the earth, And makes the tide of the sea we surf, An eclipse is when they come between, And one of them can no longer be seen, The stars, each one is another sun, Ours is just the closest one.

There once was a star called the Sun

It was jolly hot

— hippo, Nov 09 2000
I don't like the idea of making subjects "fun." People really learn these things by "getting into" them. People use mnemonics to do well on tests, whereafter they promptly forget the material.
Byron and Shelley learned Greek in the 19th century and read the Illiad and Odyssey in the ancient idiom. Think about it.

Did you know there are several free and easy ways to help us raise money for our school—for books, trips, supplies, and anything else that can use extra funding?
AmazonSmile A 501(c)(3) run by Amazon, customers can shop on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com) and the Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organizations selected by customers.
"Qualifying Purchase" occurs when (a) a customer (i) places an order for a Product from his or her shopping cart on the AmazonSmile Site, (ii) purchases a Product via our 1-Click feature on the AmazonSmile Site, or (iii) streams or downloads a Product from the AmazonSmile Site if the Product is a digital product; (b) at such time, that customer has selected your Eligible Organization to benefit from purchases the customer makes on the AmazonSmile Site; and (c) the Product is shipped to or streamed or downloaded by, and paid for by, the customer. A "Product" is any item sold on the AmazonSmile Site and which is marked "Eligible for AmazonSmile donation" on the relevant item detail page.
Qualifying Purchases exclude, and you will not be eligible for disbursements in connection with any of, the following: recurring Subscribe-and-Save purchases and subscription renewals; any Product purchased after termination of this Participation Agreement or purchased in connection with a violation of this Participation Agreement; or any Product order that is canceled or returned.
ONE CATCH - You must go to smile.amazon.com for purchases to count. As of now, there is not an option to choose the smile preference from amazon.com OR from the Amazon app AND there is no amazonsmile app just yet. Hopefully, this will change soon!

Watchman (Chowkidar in Hindi) is the buzz word of this election season, and it is also the title of director Vijay's upcoming film. The trailer of the film was launched by actor Sivakarthikeyan on Wednesday.
Judging by the trailer, the story revolves around a house-bound Golden Retriever and its efforts to protect his territory from the gun-wielding bad guys. It feels like House Alone meets Rama Narayanan brand of films.
Music composer-turned-actor GV Prakash Kumar sounded very upbeat about Watchman while sharing the trailer on his Twitter page. "Here goes my next #watchmantrailer youtu.be/qZ6Hfye5evM my best combination director #alvijay .. #niravshah #bruno … happy that the film too has started getting amazing response from whoever has watched it .. blessed … #watchmantrailer #arunmozhimanikkam (sic)," he tweeted.
GV Prakash seems to play a cash-strapped youngster, who gets caught in the crossfire. He is also likely to end up making the acquaintance of the dog at the house that he intended to rob.
Watchman also stars Samyuktha Hegde of Kirik Party fame as the female lead. It will be her debut in Kollywood. Raj Arjun, Yogi Babu and others play pivotal roles.
The film will open in cinemas on April 12.


After years of trialing eggplant varieties, we fell in love with this ageless heirloom. We love its production, consistent size of eggplant and ability to create huge canopies that shade out weeds.
After years of trialing eggplant varieties, we fell in love with this ageless heirloom. We love its production, consistent size of eggplant and ability to create huge canopies that shade out weeds. During the 2017-2018 season, we produced seed for this garden stable on our organic farm and are now excited to offer regionally adapted black beauty seeds.
Suggested Planting Requirements: Soil should be fertile, well-drained and rich in organic matter, with a pH of 5.8 to 6.8. Eggplant also needs a lot of calcium, so add lime to the soil before you plant. Southern California growers should be careful of over-liming an area. Plant eggplants in a warm area sheltered from winds.

Tiger Woods of the United States plays an approach shot on the second hole during the final round of the 2018 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 8, 2018 in Augusta, Georgia.
Tiger Woods will use a new set of irons at this week's Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina, the 14-times major winner announced.
Woods has been trying out the TaylorMade clubs for a while, and has decided the time is right to put them to the test in the heat of competition.
"Phase 1 of irons development ... is complete. Looking forward to teeing it up this week," he said on Twitter ahead of Thursday's first round in Charlotte.
The news comes more than a year after Woods signed with TaylorMade, and after a disappointing performance last month at the U.S. Masters.
Woods struggled with his irons on the way to finishing tied for 32nd.
"I felt I hit it well enough off the tee to do some things, but I hit my irons awful for the week," he said after his final round at Augusta National.
Woods, in his seventh start of the year after a successful spinal fusion, will be joined at Quail Hollow by a strong field that also features Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Masters champion Patrick Reed.
McIlroy and Thomas have fond memories of Quail Hollow. McIlroy recorded his first PGA Tour win there in 2010, while Thomas more recently made his major breakthrough at the PGA Championship.
The course set-up this week will be more forgiving than it was when Thomas won last August, with more grass around the greens expected to offer better lies for chip shots.
"It was really tough to chip around the greens (at the PGA) because it was so tight," said defending champion Brian Harman, who won last year's Wells Fargo at a different venue.
While Woods will consume most attention, fans with an eye on the future could do worse than watch Joaquin Niemann.
The 19-year-old from Chile finished sixth in his professional debut at the Texas Open two weeks ago.
"It gave me a lot of confidence," said Niemann, who reckons his ability with the driver should hold him in good stead this week.
"Hitting fairways is one of my best parts of my game. I just need to hit fairways because the course is really long. You don't want to hit five-irons from the rough."


What Makes an Effective Swimming Drill?
Swimming drills are an essential part of any good swimming workout, no matter how much experience a swimmer has.
There are countless drills you can add to your workout, with some producing better results than others. Good drills to implement are the ones that successfully train the body to move and execute strokes a certain way, correcting technique for better and faster swimming.
Here are a few key traits of an effective swimming drill.
It has a specific purpose.
Swimming is a full body activity, which can make it challenging to change one certain aspect without compromising others.
This is why each drill should pay attention to essential details of the swim, isolating and targeting a specific component of a stroke. It trains one part of the body to perform a particular movement without necessarily changing how other parts move.
A crucial element to this is that the swimmer understands the concept behind the drill. This way, they know exactly what it is they should be looking out for and have better awareness of what they need to do. Drills won't be as effective if they aren't executed mindfully and only done just for the sake of doing it.
It is implemented more than once.
Improvements don't happen overnight. For drills to have an actual impact in the long term, they have to be done regularly. Repetition is key.
Swimmers aren't always going to get it the first time around. Even if they do, these improvements won't necessarily translate to their regular strokes immediately, at least not in the long run.
Muscle memory plays a big role in making lasting technique changes, especially once speed comes into play. Once the body adapts to the changes resulting from the drill, it will come automatically when applied to regular swimming. And once speed starts to be incorporated into the swim, the swimmer won't revert back to their old strokes.
Swimming with good technique is a habit.
It is modified to fit each athlete's unique needs.
Repetition is important, but so is proper modification. Each swimmer will have their own set of goals and areas of weaknesses they need to work on, and not all drills are designed to produce the same results.
Swimmers can also start doing different variations of the same drill as they start to see improvements, to make the drills more challenging. Or, they can use swimming gear like a pullbuoy or paddles. Swimming equipment, while not a necessity, can be handy for supplementing the drill to enhance results.
While drills are meant to result in a specific change in a particular component of a swim, an effective drill is essentially one that is successfully transferred to regular swimming strokes. Swimmers only benefit from a drill when they are able to apply it to their swim come race day - improving their swim times, winning races, and leading the team to victory.

Jay Park Worries Fans With Yet Another Hint That He's Ready To Retire
He began talking about his plans to retire last year.
Sophia Lee
Jay Park recently took to his Instagram to share his song "Encore" which was released last year, but the caption he added to the post worried fans that he might really retire in the near future.
Along with a link to the song, Jay Park expressed,
This is actually a song that hinted at my retirement. I feel like I did my best and I can leave the industry without any regrets.
– Jay Park
He then added the lyrics of the song which include excerpts such as "Ever since I became the boss, I became pretentious", "The streets are more comfortable than this", and "All I wanted was to become the light".
While fawning over the song, fans also pleaded that he change his mind about retirement with comments such as "You can't retire", "Instead of retiring, please just take a break", and "I'll never let you go".
This isn't the first time Jay Park expressed his plans to retire.
Just last year, he took to his Twitter account to announce that he plans to retire in a few years.
Im gonna retire in a couple years~ this is a promise to you guys and myself. Not a lot of space for guys like me left in this game.
— JAY BUM PARK (@JAYBUMAOM) April 17, 2019
Despite Jay Park's claim that there isn't a lot of space for guys like him left in the game, he recently received overwhelming praise for turning Rain's "Gang" into an upgraded version that fits perfectly into this day and age of music.
But if he wants to retire, that's completely up to him. And fans will always support him no matter what.
Check out Jay Park's "Encore" below:

Abstract: Academic literature underlines the importance of developing value added logistics services (VALS) to meet customers' satisfaction. However, there is hardly any attention given to the discussion on where to perform these VALS and how such decision affects the supply chain. This paper discusses the location of VALS and its impact on supply chain configurations and logistics costs. In particular, the paper focuses on: 1) the importance of VALS in cost terms to the supply chain; 2) the impact of location decisions regarding VALS on the supply chain, taking into account logistics time costs and out-of-pocket costs; 3) the role of the logistics characteristics of products and the nature of VALS in the location decisions regarding VALS. We present an evaluation model for optimising the location of VALS. We apply the model empirically by following the cost flow associated with a container filled with sportswear shoes and by comparing the differences in time costs and out-of-pocket costs associated with a range of VALS location alternatives. As such, we propose a VALS location decision making framework to facilitate the location selection procedure.

Kalhaar Blues & Greens Golf Course, Ahmedabad. > News & Updates
Contenders SSP, Chiragh, Rahil & Rashid look to make gains at Indian Open
It is a foregone conclusion that Anirban Lahiri, currently ranked 52nd in the world, will be leading the two-man Indian team at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics later this year. But the matter yet to be settled is which Indian golfer will earn the privilege of partnering Lahiri at the mega-event.
As of now there are a bunch of Indian golfers staking claim to earn the second berth in the team and this contest could only get more interesting in the next few months leading up to the cut-off date of qualification which is July 11, 2016.
A look at the current world ranking suggests that three-time international winner SSP Chawrasia is the frontrunner to partner Lahiri in the Indian team since he at the moment is the second-highest ranked Indian in the world at No. 243.
However, there are plenty of other hopefuls breathing down Chawrasia's neck, such as Chiragh Kumar (290), Rashid Khan (343), Rahil Gangjee (357) and Chikkarangappa (366). Chawrasia and the rest will be battling it out for crucial world ranking points on the Asian Tour in the coming months.
This week's Indian Open could be a turning point in the race to Rio as the tournament provides a golden opportunity particularly to the likes of Chawrasia, Chiragh, Gangjee and Rashid, to make significant gains in the world rankings as they tee it up at one of their favourite venues, the Delhi Golf Club.

Gravity casting is among the oldest known processes for fabricating metals and metal alloys.  It involves the pouring of molten metal from a crucible into a mold under only the force of gravity, without the use of pressurized gases, vacuums, or centrifugal force.  Small-scale molds used for this form of casting have most commonly been made of sand, tufa stone, and cuttlebone as well as charcoal and plaster as these materials are generally easy to shape (unlike iron or steel), do not break down when suddenly exposed to high temperatures (unlike glass, wood, or plastic), do not deform easily (unlike silicone) and are widely available.

I am a frequent user of Twitter, a platform that I generally characterize as the perfect place to share thoughts that are too good to let slip by, but not good enough to actively tell my friends. Because my tweets are just transient thoughts, they vary in the extent to which they represent my current views after time has passed. Thus, I like to periodically clear the slate, and delete all my tweets and likes. For that purpose, I wrote Archive-Tweets, a toolkit for downloading and deleting tweets.
A few weeks ago, in March 2018, I was clearing out my tweets. I had about 6,500 liked tweets to download and un-like. In theory, calls to Twitter's GetFavorites API support 75 queries of 200 tweets every fifteen minutes, so I could retrieve about 60,000 tweets per hour. And yet, when I ran my script, it archived and deleted about 3,200 tweets, and then told me there were no more to handle.
I was puzzled. I went on my Twitter profile in the browser, and found that there were 3,255 tweets that had not been retrieved.
I liked another tweet, and tried running my script again. It picked up the new tweet and handled it, but couldn't retrieve any favorites after that.
I assumed that I had hit some kind of hidden rate limit, so I decided to check again in a few hours. At that point, I ran my script again, but to no avail. It could delete tweets that I had liked in the interim, but the old 3,255 liked tweets, which were so clearly visible on my timeline, seemed totally irretrievable by API.
Of course there existed no documentation on this issue. However, digging through the Twitter Developer Community, I found that the GetStatuses API only lets you retrieve the most recent 3,200 statuses of a user, and that the list of liked tweets is another "timeline" that is likely subject to the same constraints. Considering that my script had managed to un-like the first 3,200 and after that couldn't find any more, this seemed plausible. I double-checked with a friend who used to work at Twitter, who confirmed that 3,200 is the set limit for many timelines, and that the tweets that I see remaining on my profile are served from some different data store that is not accessible to GetFavorites. He advised that I check back in a week to see if that data store gets repopulated with my remaining tweets — I did, but to no avail.
And this corresponded to an interface change: suddenly the like-icon for that tweet was filled in, whereas for other tweets on that timeline, they were not.
It appeared that the list of tweets to display on my likes timeline was served from some part of Twitter's system that was totally disconnected from the API, and that the logic of whether or not to display a filled-in heart, denoting a liked tweet, was dependent on the API. Go figure.
However, now I could make calls to DestroyFavorite to unlike that tweet, and that would finally remove the tweet from my timeline. We're down from 3,255 to 3,254.
In summary: calls to DestroyFavorite would only work on tweets that were in the data store (of at most 3200 tweets) accessible to the API, and that liking a tweet would put it into that data store, even if it were already in the API-inaccessible data store of liked tweets. In turn, if a tweet was in the API-accessible data store, modifying that tweet would modify it in the API-inaccessible data store. From the point of view of engineering massively scalable systems, this makes sense as a design decision, except that it would be nice to repopulate the API-accessible data store with tweets from the API-inaccessible data store when the former is empty and the latter is not.
Having figured all that out, I then went down my infinite-scroll likes timeline, and used browser tools to extract the ids: every tweet was of class js-stream-item and had a data-item-id attribute.
...and feed them to my Python script.
The number of liked tweets at this point is, of course, wrong. Again, this is unsurprising in terms of building scalable systems: there's no way Twitter performs a database count every time your profile is loaded; that number is likely stored elsewhere and updated (on entirely mysterious conditions). Twitter has a remarkably unhelpful help page which confirms that this is an issue, but offers no explanation.
Finally, there were some casualties in the course of this adventure. Because my approach involved re-liking and then un-liking thousands of tweets, some of the folks I follow more closely got a lot of notifications.
I had to answer some questions.

Q: while clicking down arrow cursor need to come other control
i given code like this:
Private Sub txtemployeename_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtemployeename.KeyDown
        keyval = e.KeyData
        Dim keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys = e.KeyData
        If keyData = Keys.Down Then
            LstEmployee.Visible = True
            LstEmployee.Focus()
        End If
    End Sub

while i am cliking down arrow first time that is not focusing to listbox,second time am clicking down arrow that is focusing..also once cursor come to tha list box,if i clik enter that should be displayed in text box..for that i given code like this..
Private Sub LstEmployee_Enter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LstEmployee.Enter
        txtemployeename.Text = LstEmployee.SelectedItem
End Sub

but this is not working properly..for loading list box i given code like this:
 Private Sub txtemployeename_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtemployeename.KeyPress

        Dim s As String = txtemployeename.Text
        LstEmployee.Visible = True
        loadlistbox(LstEmployee, "select  Ename from EmployeeMaster_tbl where Ename LIKE'%" & s & "%' ")

    End Sub

A: You should rely on the KeyUp event rather than on the KeyDown one. Also for the ListBox you just need the SelectedIndexChanged event. Additionally, your code has quite a few errors (wrong query (-> you don't need to call your DB every time to order the items in the ListBox), relies on SelectedIndex rather than on SelectedItem...). Here you have an updated version:
Private Sub txtemployeename_KeyUp(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtemployeename.KeyUp
    Dim s As String = txtemployeename.Text
    LstEmployee.Visible = True

    Dim list = LstEmployee.Items.Cast(Of String)()

    Dim query = From item As String In list Where item.Length >= s.Length AndAlso item.ToLower().Substring(0, s.Length) = s.ToLower() Select item

    If (query.Count > 0) Then
        Dim newItems = New List(Of String)()
        For Each result In query
            newItems.Add(result)
        Next

        LstEmployee.Items.Clear()
        For Each newItem In newItems
            LstEmployee.Items.Add(newItem)
        Next
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub LstEmployee_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles LstEmployee.SelectedIndexChanged
    txtemployeename.Text = LstEmployee.SelectedItem
End Sub

The code above checks for occurrences (i.e., if the whole string in the txtemployeename matches (caps do not matter) the starting substring of, at least, one element in LstEmployee) every time a new character is introduced in txtemployeename. The ListBox is updated with these ocurrences. txtemployeename displays the name of the selected item in LstEmployee.
I hope that this will be enough to help you to build the code required to deliver the exact functionalities you are after.
NOTE: bear in mind that this approach (deleting/adding Items) is incompatible with cases where the ListView is populated with a DataSource. If you rely on a DataSource you would have to update this code accordingly.
NOTE2: the proposed approach deals with the elements in the ListView. You have to introduce these elements at the start from whatever source you are using; this code only updates  existing information (items in the ListBox). Also bear in mind that this code is expected to be corrected to match your exact requirements; for example: list has to be associated with the total number of items (the ones retrieved from your datasource at the start), not with the current ones (as displayed in the code; it just represents a simplified version of the problem): every time a new population occurs all the items (other than the target ones) are deleted and thus the ListBox does not represent a reliable source. Example to understand this: at the start, you have "aaaa", "bbbb", "cccc"; if you type "a", all the elements except "aaaa" would be deleted. If you type now "b" and consider the actual elements in the ListBox, no change would occur as far as the only element is "aaaa"; you would have to consider all the original elements (which, as suggested via comment, might be stored at the start in an array/list of strings).
