...incomes from sales of the same products, most of them were extremely upset with Pampered Chef, because they were essentially taking money right out of their sales' people's pockets. Pampered Chef ended up pulling its products and reverting to direct sales. Do you think the risk of upsetting and/or cannibalizing the direct sales force is worth the increase in revenues that would be realized by selling through other channels? What are some of your ideas for an approach that would allow CUTCO to capture that untapped revenue without negatively impacting its direct sales? (Post is Unread) Thread: Post: Author: CUTCO analysis CUTCO analysis Posted Date: Status: February 22, 2016 8:05 PM Published Ivan Martinez 1. I personally cannot recall buying a product though a direct selling method. But one of my aunts sells Princess House cookware directly. She began selling soon after she attended a selling party she was invited to, and has been selling for a few years. I have gone to a few of her sales parties and the technique she uses the most is social and demonstration. She will gather friends and people interested in the...

Section 3(1) (ii) Of the act states that “an existing company means a company formed and registered under any of the previous companies laws”.

According to Chief Justice Marshall of USA, “A company is a person, artificial, invisible, intangible, and existing only in the contemplation of the law. Being a mere creature of law, it possesses only those properties which the character of its creation of its creation confers upon it either expressly or as incidental to its very existence”.

...07年新托福阅读机经 1月13日 第一篇：进化论/自然选择 |1. |生物学的文章，关于进化的一些最新发现。首先说达尔文提出由于物种进化需要很长的时间，因此不可能会被人类观察到。但是最近的一| | |些发现却说明某些物种进化时间很短，可以被科学家所观察。然后，提出了一个关于环境与物种生存周期的假说，还说某个科学家研究一| | |种鱼类证明了这个假说的合理性。这种鱼在高处和低处都有，在低处的鱼捕食者较多，生存环境较为恶劣。科学家把低处的鱼放到高处，| | |大概十几年后，这些鱼体型变大了，生长周期变慢了，产的卵更大了，等等。然后说了另一个科学家的研究。这个科学家研究鸟类，其中| | |一种鸟的喙比另一种的大。某年，这些鸟类生存的地区气候变迁，某种坚果的产量下降；喙小的鸟只能吃较小的坚果，而喙大的鸟既能吃| | |小的坚果，也能吃大的更硬的坚果；于是更多的喙大的鸟存活了下来。而且，这些存活的鸟的后代的喙都增大了4%。后来的内容记不清了| | |，文章主要就是这样了。 | | | | |2. |生命起源也是生物学的文章，关于巴斯德（曲颈瓶的发明者，反对生命自然发生说）以及米勒的实验（将碳氢化合物分子，如甲烷、氨和| | |氢等与水混合，一起灌入到一个特殊的玻璃装置中，给瓶内混合物加热，使之不断沸腾，产生气体。气体经过一个装有两个电极的小室，| | |室内连续产生火花，犹如大自然的闪电和火山爆发，然后经过冷却又变成液体回到原处。最后产生了组成现代生命的蛋白质结构中的几种| | |氨基酸成分）。文章首先说人们认为微生物是自然发生的，巴斯德却认为微生物本来就存在于空气中，像尘埃一样到处飘。为了验证他的| | |观点，就做了一个实验：把一锅汤煮沸然后密封，多天之后汤没有变质，说明没有产生微生物。反对者又说必须要与大气接触才会有化学| | |反应从而出现微生物，于是巴斯德设计了一种曲颈瓶，瓶内的液体可以接触外界空气，但是空气中微生物无法进入瓶中。巴斯特将汤盛入| | |这种曲颈瓶中，多天以后，也没有变质，从而证明了他自己的观点。尔后，文章又说，虽然巴斯德是正确的，但是地球起初并没有任何生| | |命，所以肯定至少有一次，生命是自然发生的。于是就说了米勒的那个实验。证明了生命始有可能自然发生的。 | | | | |3. |新英格兰农业发展文章讲了美国北部地区新英格兰的农业。首先说了殖民者来到新英格兰时，遇到了很多发展农业的问题，对比了新英格| | |兰地区和英格兰的自然环境、地理状况。由于特殊的气候和地理条件，很多原本英格兰的各种农作物都不适宜耕种。后来，这些殖民者发| ...
