iously, Bassino will be the favorite with 460 out of a possible 600 GS points, having won four times this season. Worley (336 points), Gisin (312), Italy’s Federica Brignone (282), Shiffrin (280), Gut-Behrami (259) and Vlhova (218) are all in the hunt.
The season continues this weekend with the women in Garmisch, Germany, for downhill and super-G. The ladies have a rare weekend off before worlds kick off with the women’s combined on Feb. 8, followed by their super-G on Feb. 9.
While Shiffrin has not trained, much less competed, in downhill or super-G this season, preferring a technical approach this season, she has dropped hints about defending her title. She had suggested previously that she might work on her super-G in possible downtime after Tuesday’s race.
Presumably, Shiffrin will make her announcement on the super-G via social media or through the U.S. Ski Team in the upcoming weeks.Herr Reinhard ist der geborene Trainer! Er hat es verstanden die drei Tage Schulung als eine äußerst angenehme und lehrreiche Zeit darzustellen!

Now Save Money with Online Invoicing
Do you still send out printed invoices to your customers when there is a far better and convenient way to notify your customers about their dues? Yes, we are talking about online invoicing, aka e-invoicing. Still confused about whether you should go for it or not?
Then we have some useful information for you regarding how it can be quite a cost effective alternative.
- Greater efficiency : Creating an invoice and sending it to the customers is quite a time consuming process. Moreover, you are never sure if an invoice will reach its destination. Online invoicing handles all these tasks smoothly and also reduces the time duration in which the payments are made.
- Automated invoicing: The invoices, once scheduled, will automatically be sent to the desired customers at a fixed time. So you don’t need to worry about sending invoices to each and every customer. It reduces the cost of sending the invoices to the customers manually. Invoices lost in transit, add up the extra charges incurred. This won’t be an issue if everything is handled online.
- Regular monitoring of payment status: You do not need to keep checking what payments have been made and what are due. You can easily get a detail about this on a single screen. You get the knowledge about what payments have been credited to your account and what are the left ones, which makes the further tasks of collecting the payments easy.
- Customized reminders: Create reminders for the customers and make the desired changes in the reminders of some particular clients. You cannot deal with all the clients in a similar manner. Depending on the type of relation you have with each customer, you can add special notes and reminders in their invoices.
- Hold a record of transactions: Online invoicing keeps an audit trail of all the transactions with your customers which can prove to be useful in case of future references. All the documents, payment information and receipts are saved and can be easily viewed, whenever needed by the tax authorities.

And the online payment services make it easy for the clients to pay instantly. Adding ‘late charges’ feature will make the clients pay usually before the due date.
- Better cash flow management: Your accounting software directly sends the notifications to the clients when specified. This makes handling complicated accounts simple and hence, easier cash flow management.
- Get rid of paperwork: When there is no requirement of papers, envelopes and stamps, then this leads to cost reduction on these things. All your work is managed online, keeping your desk free from the paper chaos. There is no need of man power to manage all the documents, saving you from these overhead costs.
- Security: The manual system of sending invoices may be susceptible to errors and security risks. But, in case of online invoicing, where everything is handled electronically, there are negligible chances of error and the clients can make secure payments online. Clients find the online invoicing system to be more reliable.

This notion is not new: as early as 1980, the member companies of the German Direct Selling Association Germany committed themselves to a catalog of standards of behavior for the industry. Most recently, this Code of Conduct was updated in 2013, revised by the members of the German Association of Direct Sales Germany again as a self-commitment.
The Code is under the motto „Success through Fairness“. Distributors and companies commit themselves, for example, to conduct fair contract negotiations, to grant of a right of revocation and to make fair deals with partners. At the focus of the document, however, is the behavior towards consumers, because after all, the customer should also feel as a king in direct sales. It starts with empathy and consideration: is the customer just open for an offer? Does he not want to continue an already started sales talk? The distributor should pay attention to appropriate signals and must respond to the attitude of his counterpart with respect and courtesy. In addition, the privacy of the customer must be respected, which includes the consideration of an appropriate time window for calls or visits.
In addition, in order to establish a reputable public image, each distributor is required to present himself and his business unsolicitedly and correctly. The company name and address should be clearly visible on brochures, advertisements and catalogs. Strict openness and transparency must also be guaranteed in negotiations with new distributors, especially in terms of recruitment process, contract negotiations and earning opportunities. Should it be necessary to invest some money to start a business (not necessary at QN Europe!), reputable direct sales companies will scrupulously ensure that payments for training, transport or the right to participate in a first training are proportionate and substantiated by a demonstrable value-for-money consideration from the company.
But not only to customers and business partners, but also in terms of competitors, the signatories of the Code have committed to fair behavior: So the attempt of the systematic recruitment of service providers of a competing company or disparaging remarks against other providers or products ultimately even with an exclusion of the company concerned from the association.It felt like a plague of biblical proportions. The frogs and hail weren’t a problem but hot damn, the clouds of mosquitoes were lifted directly from that miserable list of Passover plagues.
Starting off the hike, we knew the park had received more precipitation than usual and mosquitos might be bad in the backcountry, but when the swarms started blotting out the sun (darkness, figuratively), our sanity took a back seat to the need to preserve our valuable stocks of blood.
At 235,214 acres, Flat Top Wilderness Area is the 2nd largest wilderness area in Colorado and a quick drive from Denver. The park’s elevation varies a bit but much of its terrain rises above 11,000 feet and at times resembles a plateau framed by mountains. A few days of acclimation are a good idea for visitors but we hardy mountain men skipped these “pleasantries” and hiked right in.
The park is usually dotted with lakes and ponds and creeks. This year, the landscape was covered not only with the usual small bodies of water, but patches of snow, muddy, waterlogged fields and many, many small pools of standing water. These features make hiking a bit of a slog and are the perfect staging (read breeding) ground for pint size vampires.
If only we realized they were that bad before we were days away from civilization.
We thought it was slightly odd that few hikers passed us on the trail. A couple on horseback, some day hikers fly-fishing at a lake but that was it. 
We must have because by day three, we threw up our arms and our determination to make it the full seven days.
This is what always happens when my buddy Jon and I go for a hike. We plan for seven days in the backcountry. Seven days of glorious wilderness, no phones, no e-mail, no real comforts, just the sublime appreciation and reconnection with nature.
But extrication from the backcountry isn’t as simple as just walking back to the car. We were 2 days from the trailhead, which mean 2 more days of torment.
Despite the condition’
