Affiliate Marketing Secrets

What does it mean when a public notice has been posted, stating that a doctor or surgeon will no longer be “affiliated” with his or her hospital and or teaching institution of employment, after a certain date, as opposed to “leaving” their place of employment?

China’s Suntech has made a painful journey from being the world’s largest solar panel producer to flirting with bankruptcy in just a year, highlighting the woes of the industry it shaped.
Oversupply as Chinese producers flooded the market and trade disputes over alleged Chinese dumping caused a sudden and spectacular reversal of fortunes for Suntech, which has defaulted on repayments for a $541 million bond issue.
The board ousted the company’s renowned founder just days ago after 12 years in which he led it from nothing to world market domination and now to the edge of ruin, leaving it scrambling to secure new funding and hold creditors at bay.
The global solar industry has been burned by the economic slowdown in Europe and the United States, together with weak prices blamed on Chinese companies which sought to build market share by under-cutting competitors.
The European Union and United States last year targeted Suntech and other Chinese solar panel and cell makers, accusing them of selling their products at below cost and receiving “unfair” government subsidies.
Suntech, a private company, denied the allegations but made no secret of its aim to keep prices at rock bottom, which it said made solar energy available to more people. Analysts said Suntech’s business model, deliberately pushing down prices to capture larger market share despite narrower profit margins, contained the seeds of its own destruction.
“What (Suntech) has done is increase supply to the market so much, that they really almost can’t sell anything at a profit now,” said Ben Cavender, associate principal of China Market Research Group (CMR) in Shanghai.
Suntech recorded a net loss of $1.0 billion in 2011, from a profit of $237 million in 2010, according to company filings. The firm has yet to report financial results for 2012.
Once an investors’ darling, its New York-listed shares have plunged from a high of $90.00 in early 2008. They closed down 7.81 percent at $0.59 in New York on Tuesday. “It is going to be difficult for them going forward,” Cavender added. “You might end up seeing a very different company down the road.”
Suntech said earlier this month it would shut a manufacturing plant in the United States in a bid to “rationalise” production capacity.
China’s National Business Daily on Tuesday quoted an official in the eastern city of Wuxi, where the firm is headquartered and employs 14,000 people, as saying it would undergo restructuring under bankruptcy proceedings.
Analysts said Suntech faced a problem common to Chinese private firms, growing rapidly in the country’s economic boom but becoming unwieldy and unmanageable as it turned into a vast corporation.
“Suntech, as a private firm, went too fast in its expansion,” said Liu Wenping, a partner in Shanghai-based solar investment consulting firm Sapphire Capital.
“The founder, with the role of scientist-entrepreneur, didn’t have the experience to manage such a big company with tens of thousands of workers.”
Suntech’s founder Shi Zhengrong — listed as one of China’s richest people by the independent Hurun Report last year, worth $476 million — was ousted as chairman earlier this month. He called the move “misconceived and unlawful” in a statement, vowing further action.
While more than 60 percent of Suntech’s bondholders have given the company a two-month extension for payment, some are planning to sue to recoup their investment, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
The default could cause foreign investors to sour further on China, after a string of accounting scandals involving Chinese firms listed in the United States and other overseas markets, analysts said.
US equipment giant Caterpillar recently revealed that it had found fake accounts at a Chinese firm it acquired for more than $650 million last year, in another cautionary tale for foreign investors in the hugely promising market.
“Looking at a Chinese company as a potential investment, you really have to be a little more cautious and decide whether the investment look

The image of heaven, a society in the clouds with angels and harps and the like is a common motif in pop culture, great works of art, and Christian culture in general. Parents tell their children that Grandma is up in heaven, watching over them and will be there when they die.
Hell, too, has been portrayed as a firey, subterrainian realm filled with tortured souls subjected to any number of punishments. Satan is depicted as a red skinned demon with horns and a goatee. People talk about how child molesters and serial killers will burn in hell as soon as they die.
Yet, the Scriptures are not consistant with these images. I suspect much of this imagery comes from pre-Christian traditions, but when did they become authorized by the Church (if indeed they ever were)? If not, how did the perception of the afterlife in such terms come to be so widespread?

Or would it never be touched if I am a tax payer and fulltime worker? and what if the balance went up higher than that,like up to $100,000? would that be taxed or can some of it be taken out of my account without my input on it since the amount is so high? I’m trying to get a better understanding on taxing and economics

I found out that Sweet Frog donates some of the money they make to Christian churches and organizations, and that kind of made me stop going there. Am I being petty or does this sort of thing happen to others as well?

I find it interesting. Maybe they are just seeking to understand, I can identify with that. There are groups of atheists that choose not to be affiliated with religion and don’t even like the term “atheist” because of the religious connotation. Someone said something to me one time that the presence of atheists in religious discussions has to do with reverse propaganda because evangelicals spend so much time forcing their views on others. So is it an eye for an eye thing? Is it a attempt to win converts? I know that it can’t be the goal of the atheists and believers on yahoo to just to troll one another daily with such tenacity and rudeness as is so often displayed with no higher motive in mind. Maybe they should have an atheism section in the yahoo answers categories. I am not a religious person, I am not an atheist either, I did join the site ‘think atheist’ however. I like having conversations with atheist because they tend to be able to look at religious topics objectively and their only bias is that they consider it all to be bullsh*t lol. Even on the blogs like “Think atheist” which are geared directly at the atheist community there is a lot of religious discussion. What are some ways that atheists can distance themselves from the drama of religion? I know the late Christopher Hitchens considered it a personal goal to expose religion for its innate destructive aptitude, and the role of brainwashing in the worldwide community. So there is that.. but then on the other hand I believe it was Stephen Hawking who proposed that atheists call themselves “brights” to avoid the connection with the idea of a deity. I don’t think it has quite the same ring to it but it certainly presents a better connection of being intelligent which would be a step in a positive direction. I realize this kind of a loaded question. What do you think? by the way, it is not my intention to offend anyone or to come across as a troll. I hate trolls, i think they should be put i thunder dome an forced to fight to the death. thanks 🙂
