Reminder that if you're in the US and buying N95 masks online, you need to check the CDC's list of NIOSH approved manufacturers and model numbers to confirm whether or not the masks you see are legitimate.

If you're in the EU then use this list of European Notified Bodies for PPE. If anyone has similar lists for other regions please add a link for me.

On top of that, check the manufacturer's official website for a list of authorized distributors or "where to buy" links to ensure that listings have a legitimate association with the manufacturer. There's a big market for fakes.

Amazon may have legitimate manufacturer listings for masks but they don't do anything to remove counterfeit products from their site. Many brick and mortar stores like Wal-Mart and Home Depot now integrate Amazon-style marketplaces into their websites, meaning they offer a lot of unregulated scam products along side their own merchandise. Protip: always check the "pickup today" or "pickup in store" availability to remove 3rd party trash from your search results.

If you already have masks but don't know where they came from, you can try to assess their legitimacy using this CDC PDF for the US or this PDF from the German IFA (standards apply to the EU).

Anyway, remember that if a deal seems too good to be true, it is.

**for the US this only applies to N95 masks**

**I'm not entirely sure what range of protection the EU standards cover and would really appreciate if someone could clarify**

Amazon is responsible under federal safety law for hazardous products sold on its platform by third-party sellers and shipped by the company, a U.S. government agency ordered Tuesday. In a unanimous vote, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said it determined that the e-commerce company was a “distributor” of faulty items sold on its site and packed and shipped through its fulfillment service. That means the company is on the hook, legally, for the recalls of more than 400,000 products, including hairdryers and defective carbon monoxide detectors, the agency said. It ordered Amazon to come up with a system for notifying customers who purchased faulty items and to remove the products from circulation by offering incentives for their return or destruction. Overall, Amazon accounts for roughly 40% of e-commerce sales in the U.S., according to the market research firm Emarketer. The company sells many items directly to consumers and also partners with nearly 2 million third-party sellers, who drive the majority of the sales on the platform. The online retailer has fought the “distributor” label since 2021, when the Consumer Product Safety Commission filed an administrative complaint against the company for distributing hazardous items.

sick. I don't know how much legal weight this ruling has at the moment/how its gonna be enforced, but still.

Amazon has been deemed responsible for dangerous or faulty products sold by third-parties on Amazon.com after a unanimous vote by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Tuesday (July 30).

The vote determined that Amazon is a "distributor" and thus liable for any products that are found defective or hazardous. With the ruling, Amazon now bears the legal responsibility for any products that require a recall or destruction.

In an announcement the U.S. regulator said that over 400,000 products are subject; these include such items as carbon monoxide detectors that don't sound alarms, hairdryers without electrocution protection and children's pajamas that were found to be highly flammable.

"Amazon failed to notify the public about these hazardous products and did not take adequate steps to encourage its customers to return or destroy them, thereby leaving consumers at substantial risk of injury," the agency said.

the article says that amazon still intends to. appeal the decision and shit bc of course they do, so idk if its possible that it could be overturned I suppose, but hell it would be Really Fucking Nice if amazon at the very least took some goddamn responsibility for some of the dangerous shit they got on their site and had to do more to actually prevent this shit from being sold in the first place

São Paulo power supplier Enel faces scrutiny after outage

The Justice Ministry announced on Monday that its consumer protection agency will notify private electricity distributor Enel over the long power outage that has affected millions of people in the state of São Paulo since a massive storm on Friday.

Enel, an Italian multinational group, won back in 2018 a public bidding process to acquire Eletropaulo, a now-defunct state-owned power company.

The storm, with winds of over 150 kilometers per hour, killed seven people, wreaked havoc in several cities, and left millions without electricity for hours or days. Enel informed on Monday that 24 percent of the consumers under its responsibility were still without power. This comprises about 800,000 homes, 500,000 of which in São Paulo city alone.

“Due to the complexity of the work to rebuild the network affected by fallen trees and branches, recovery is being carried out gradually,” Enel said in a statement. Many say the damage would be mitigated if the power cable network were completely underground. But experts say that would be very expensive and mean higher electricity bills for consumers — something politicians are always reluctant to do.

The Crimes of Dr. Crippen

September 17, 2023

Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was born on September 11, 1862, in Coldwater, Michigan and was the only surviving child of his parents Andresse Skinner and Myron Augustus Crippen who was a merchant.

Crippen first studied at the University of Michigan Homeopathic Medical School, and graduated later at the Cleveland Homeopathic Medical College in 1884.

Crippen married his first wife, Charlotte Jane Bell, but when she died of a stroke in 1892, Crippen sent his son, Hawley Otto, who was only a toddler, to live with his parents in San Hose, California.

Dr. Crippen began practicing medicine in New York City, marrying his second wife, Corrine "Cora" Turner in 1894. Cora was actually a music hall singer who sang under the name, Belle Elmore. Also in 1894, Crippen began working for Dr. Munyon, who had a homeopathic pharmaceutical company.

In 1897, Dr. Crippen and Cora moved to England, even despite the fact that Crippen's medical qualifications were not met to practice in the UK. Crippen was working as a distributor of patent medicines around this time, while Cora was socializing.

Dr. Crippen was fired by Munyon's in 1899 for spendin too much time managing Cora's career. Dr. Crippen went on to work as a manager for Drouet's Institution for the Deaf, where a young woman named Ethel Le Neve was his typist in 1900.

By 1905, Crippen and Ethel were having an affair. That same year, Crippen and Cora moved to 39 Hilldrop Crescent, Camden Road, Holloway and took in lodgers to help with their income. Cora ended up having an affair with one of these lodgers, and due to this, Crippen officially made Ethel is mistress in 1908.

On January 31, 1910, the Crippen home hosted a party, and after said party, Cora had disappeared. Dr. Crippen's excuse for his wife's disappearance was that she had gone back to the US, later adding that she had died there. After this, Ethel moved in with Dr. Crippen and actually began to wear Cora's clothes and jewelry.

The first mention of Cora's disappearance came from her friend, Kate "Vulcana" Williams. The disappearance was taken more seriously when people associated with the Scotland Yard Superintendent, Frank Froest were pushing for the matter to be looked into.

Police searched Dr. Crippen's house but found nothing. Dr. Crippen under questioning did eventually admit he had made up the story of his wife dying, because he wanted to avoid the embarrassment over him leaving her, fleding to the US with one of her lovers. Authorities were satisfied with Crippen's story, however he did not know that and instead fled with Ethel to a hotel in Brussels.

The next day the two got on the SS Montrose, headed for Canada. This made them look suspicious, so police further searched Crippen's house, finding the torso of a human body buried under the brick floor of the basement. Traces of a calming drug called scopolamine was in the torso as well.

The torso was identified as being Cora, however her head, limbs and skeleton were never recovered.

Dr. Crippen and Ethel who was disguised as a boy were heading across the Atlantic ocean, and the captain noticed them. Notifying the Chief Inspector, Walter Dew, of this, he boarded a ship from Liverpool and beat Dr. Crippen to Canada, arriving in Quebec.

Dew himself actually boarded the next ship disguised as a pilot. When entering on board, Dr. Crippen was invited to meet the pilots to which Dew removed his cap and said, "Good mornin, Dr. Crippen. Do you know me? I'm Chief Inspector Dew from Scotland Yard."

Dr. Crippen's response was apparently, "Thank God it's over. The suspense has been too great. I couldn't stand it any longer." And then held out his wrists for the handcuffs. Both Crippen and Ethel were arrested on board on July 31, 1910.

Dr. Crippen was tried at the Old Bailey, on October 18, 1910. The trial lasted 4 days. Though they argued that the torso could not be totally proven to be Cora, there was a piece of skin that had a scar that was similar to Cora's medical history.

Other evidence was brought forth, such as a piece of a pyjama top that Cora had given Dr. Crippen the year before, in 1909, and hair that matched Cora's. During the trial, Dr. Crippen did not show any remorse for his wife. He was only concerned with Ethel's reputation.

Dr. Crippen was found guilty in just 27 minutes. Ethel was only charged for being an accessory after the fact and was eventually acquitted.

Crippen never actually gave a motive for why he killed his wife, however many theories have risen over the years. A late Victorian and Edwardian barrister, Edward Marshall Hall believed Dr. Crippen had been giving Cora hyoscine as a depressant but accidentally gave her too much, causing her to overdose.

In 1981, multiple British newspapers reported that a man claimed to have met Ethel in 1930 and she confessed to him that Dr. Crippen murdered Cora because she had syphilis.

Another theory is that Dr. Crippen was carrying out illegal abortions and the torso was actually that of a previous patient, not Cora. Others find it strange that Dr. Crippen would bury his wife's body under the floor, but managed to get rid of her head and limbs with no discovery.

Dr. Crippen was hanged at Pentonville Prison, London, on November 23, 1910. Ethel sailed to the US before moving to Canada and found work as a typist. She supposedly returned to Britain in 1915, and died in 1967. Crippen had requested that a photo of Ethel be placed in his coffin and buried with him which was approved.

Think the story's over? Think again.

In October 2007, a forensic scientist named David Foran claimed that mitochondrial DNA evidence showed the remains under Dr. Crippen's basement floor were not that of Cora. Using genealogy, they identified 3 of Cora's living relatives who gave their DNA to be compared.

The original remains were also tested using an assay of the Y chromosome, finding the flesh sample was male, not female. This research team also argued that a scar that was found on the torso and had been identified as a scar that Cora had was incorrect.

This new DNA evidence has been disputed, with a journalist commenting that this team used a special technique that is too new, and working on a century old slide isn't the best sample to use to compare DNA.

In December 2009, the UK's Criminal Cases Review Commission declared that the Court of Appeal would not hear the case to pardon Dr. Crippen posthumously, meaning he is still known forever in history as having murdered his wife.

Why is order management important for B2B businesses?

In the fast-paced and ever-changing world of B2B commerce, remaining competitive is critical. Businesses are continuously seeking ways to streamline processes, enhance customer experiences, and boost profits. An Order Management System (OMS) is one of the most effective solutions for assisting businesses in meeting these objectives. While many B2B organizations continue to use manual processes or obsolete technologies to manage orders, inventory, and customer relationships, these techniques can quickly become inefficient as a business grows.

So, how is it time for your B2B company to transition to an OMS? In this post, we will discuss the major signals that your firm is ready for a modern, efficient solution, such as an order management system, and how it can improve your business.

What is an Order Management System (OMS)?

An Order Management System is a software platform that manages orders from start to finish, automating the process. This comprises order monitoring, real-time inventory updates, payment processing, shipping and delivery coordination, and customer communication management. An OMS is an essential tool for B2B organizations that frequently receive high numbers of orders, involve several stakeholders, and include specific terminology.

B2B transactions are frequently more complex than B2C purchases, requiring large orders, negotiated pricing, special payment conditions, and multi-channel interactions. An OMS can effectively manage these complications, saving firms time and resources.

7 Clear Signs Your B2B Business Needs an Order Management System

Moving from manual processes or obsolete software to an Order Management System can seem like a significant move. However, if you are having any of the following concerns, you should carefully consider switching.

1. Manual Processes Are Slowing You Down

Many B2B organizations still use manual order processing methods including spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls. While this may work for small numbers, it quickly becomes unsustainable as the business expands. Manually tracking orders, updating inventory, and engaging with consumers is time-consuming, error-prone, and ineffective.

An automated order management system replaces manual processes with optimized workflows that automate critical functions. For example, an OMS may automatically update inventory levels when orders are placed, create invoices, and even notify consumers about the status of their orders. This automation allows your team to focus on more important duties, such as developing relationships with key customers.

2. Inventory Management Is Becoming Complicated

Effective inventory management is critical in B2B operations, as stock levels have a direct impact on order fulfillment and customer satisfaction. If your team is having difficulty keeping track of inventory, or if you're suffering stockouts, overstocking, or discrepancies between actual and reported inventory, these are all red flags.

An order management system offers integrated inventory management capabilities that deliver real-time stock-level updates from multiple warehouses or locations. With real-time data, your team can make better reordering decisions, minimize stockouts, and manage inventory more efficiently. This also ensures that customers can rely on the availability of products when they place orders, improving their experience and increasing loyalty.

3. Inconsistent Order Processing Across Channels

As organizations expand into new sales channels such as e-commerce, direct sales, marketplaces, and distributors, keeping consistent order processing across these platforms becomes difficult. Manually handling multi-channel sales can result in errors such as delayed order fulfillment, inaccurate inventory changes, and inconsistent pricing.

A modern multi-channel order management system integrates all of your sales channels into a single consolidated platform. Whether orders originate from your website, marketplaces like Amazon, or direct sales reps, the OMS synchronizes them in real-time, ensuring correct inventory management, pricing, and fulfillment throughout the process. This lowers errors, increases customer happiness, and ensures that no orders fall through the cracks.

4. Difficulty Scaling Operations

If your firm is expanding but your present systems aren't keeping up, you're probably facing delays and inefficiencies. Scaling without the proper infrastructure can result in backlogs, angry customers, and overworked personnel. An OMS is intended to scale with your company, managing higher amounts of orders, more inventory, and increasingly complicated processes without slowing down operations.

An order management system automates and optimizes workflows, minimizing the need for additional resources and allowing your team to handle a bigger volume of orders. By automating essential operations like order processing, inventory monitoring, and customer communications, you can scale efficiently while maintaining the high level of service that your consumers expect.

5. Inefficient and Error-Prone Order Fulfillment

Mistakes in order fulfillment, such as shipping the wrong goods, experiencing delivery delays, or receiving inaccurate billing, can swiftly undermine customer trust. In a B2B environment, where orders are frequently substantial and important to corporate operations, a single inaccuracy can have serious financial and reputational consequences.

An OMS offers automated order management features that limit the possibility of errors. Integrating with your inventory system ensures that only in-stock items are sold and follow the fulfillment process from beginning to end. Automation can help eliminate human mistakes, ensure on-time deliveries, and even offer customers real-time order tracking.

6. Poor Visibility and Reporting

In a business-to-business setting, decision-makers require accurate data to make informed decisions. If you cannot quickly access reports on sales trends, inventory levels, or customer behaviors, your current system may be limiting growth. Modern order management system (OMS) platforms come with integrated reporting and analytics features that provide real-time insights into your business operations.

With an OMS, you can generate reports on crucial metrics such as sales performance, customer orders, inventory turnover, and order fulfillment times. This level of visibility helps you identify areas for improvement, forecast future demand, and optimize your operations to maximize profitability.

7. Customer Expectations Are Increasing

B2B customers now expect the same level of ease, speed, and openness they experience when shopping online as consumers. If your current system cannot provide these features, such as live order monitoring, automated bills, or customized pricing, you may lose important customers.

An Order Management System enhances the customer experience by providing a smooth, uniform purchasing process across different platforms. Customers can monitor their orders, see real-time product stock, and get automatic updates on their order status. A pleasant, efficient buying experience helps keep customers and promote repeat business.

Benefits of Adopting an OMS for B2B Businesses

Now that we've recognized the signals that it's time to convert to an OMS, let's look at the primary advantages of making the transfer.

Improved Efficiency and Accuracy

Automating the order management process eliminates manual labor, errors, and delays. An OMS guarantees that orders are processed swiftly and precisely, hence increasing overall efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Real-Time Inventory Visibility

With integrated inventory management features, an OMS provides real-time stock-level data, allowing you to make intelligent purchasing, stock replenishment, and order fulfillment decisions. This real-time visibility reduces the likelihood of stockouts and overstocking.

Enhanced Multi-Channel Operations

A multi-channel order management system enables organizations to manage orders from multiple sales channels using a single platform. This enables uniform and precise processing at all touchpoints, lowering errors and increasing efficiency.

Increased Scalability

An OMS grows with your business, allowing you to handle more orders, manage larger inventories, and expand into new sales channels without overwhelming your team or sacrificing quality.

Better Customer Experience

By automating and optimizing order processing, shipping, and communications, an OMS guarantees that customers obtain accurate, timely information and have a pleasant shopping experience. Customers who are satisfied with your service are more likely to return and promote it to others.

Conclusion

Transitioning to a contemporary Order Management System can greatly improve the efficiency, flexibility, and profitability of your B2B company. By automating crucial procedures, enhancing inventory control, and integrating multi-channel operations, an OMS allows businesses to fulfill increasing customer needs and stay competitive in the digital age. If you're facing any of the issues mentioned, it may be the right time to take the plunge and invest in a solution that will set your business up for long-term success.

Junior Bridgeman Reportedly Buys 15% Stake In Milwaukee Bucks

by Daniel Johnson September 15, 2024 The former Milwaukee Bucks player is set to purchase 15% of the team. In a full circle moment, former Milwaukee Bucks swingman Junior Bridgeman is reportedly close to purchasing a 15% stake in the franchise he played for during much of his NBA career.  According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, the 70-year-old Bridgeman, whose number two jersey was retired by the Bucks, will be receiving a preferred limited-partner discount, which entitles him to a 15% stake in the organization.  According to CNBC, Bridgeman currently owns Jet and Ebony magazines. The deal indicates that the Milwaukee Bucks, a small market NBA franchise, are worth $4 billion. According to their sources, the NBA was expected to notify owners of the sale in a memo on Sept.12.  Bridgeman has created a net worth of over $600 million mostly through his success with various businesses including fast-food restaurants and operating a Coca-Cola bottling distributor. Neither the Milwaukee Bucks nor Bridgeman himself offered any comment on the sale to CNBC. Although the team finished third in the Eastern Conference last season, the team operated at a loss because it had to dip into the luxury tax and pay $52 million. According to Sports Illustrated, that figure is the fourth highest luxury tax payment in the NBA. The Bucks are expected to face similar luxury tax challenges in the 2024-2025 NBA season, with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and Khris Middleton earning $48 million, $45 million, and $31 million respectively. The team’s last ownership change occurred in April 2023 when Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam purchased a 25% stake from former co-owner Marc Lasry. At that time, before the NBA’s new TV deal, the Bucks were valued at $3.2 billion.

The Role of Deliver My Tune in Simplifying YouTube Content ID Setup

In the ever-evolving music industry, protecting your creative content has become paramount. YouTube, as the largest video-sharing platform in the world, offers immense opportunities for musicians and artists to showcase their work, connect with global audiences, and earn revenue through monetization. However, managing music rights on YouTube can be complex, especially when it comes to protecting content from unauthorized use and ensuring that artists are compensated fairly. This is where YouTube’s Content ID system comes into play.

Content ID is a tool designed by YouTube to help content owners—such as musicians, labels, and distributors—identify and manage their music across the platform. But for many artists, setting up and managing YouTube Content ID can be daunting. This is where Deliver My Tune steps in, offering a streamlined and efficient solution to simplify the entire process. In this article, we’ll explore how Deliver My Tune plays a crucial role in making the YouTube Content ID setup easier and more accessible for artists.

Before diving into how Deliver My Tune simplifies the process, it’s essential to understand the challenges musicians face when trying to manage their music rights on YouTube.

Here are some of the common challenges artists face:

Rights Management: Identifying where your music is being used on YouTube requires constant monitoring. Without Content ID, artists may miss out on revenue from videos that use their music without permission.

Revenue Loss: Unauthorized use of your music on YouTube can lead to missed opportunities for monetization. If your content isn’t registered with YouTube’s Content ID, you might not earn ad revenue or claim your rightful share from user-generated content that features your music.

Deliver My Tune simplifies all these processes, allowing you to focus on what you do best: making music.

Monetizing your music on YouTube is one of the most attractive benefits of setting up Content ID. When Deliver My Tune registers your music, it opens up monetization opportunities for you.

What You Should Know about Market America

Market America, a North Carolina-based MLM that describes itself as a “product brokerage and internet marketing company,” and its larger-than-life founder James “JR” Ridinger like to stand out in the direct selling industry. For the company’s part, that means littering the internet with an unprecedented number of deceptive income claims related to the MLM’s business opportunity. As for Ridinger, his over-the-top performances at company events are must-see TV, even as (or perhaps because) they also often feature misleading earnings representations.

A TINA.org investigation found that in the first nine months of 2020, Market America published more than 450 deceptive income claims across its website, blog and social media pages. Among the marketing materials TINA.org collected that were published this year was a September tweet by Ridinger that shows him speaking at a Market America event saying the company’s business opportunity gives distributors “economic freedom.”

It wasn’t until TINA.org warned Market America last month that it would notify regulators if the company didn’t take immediate steps to remove the deceptive income claims, which included another 300 claims compiled by TINA.org that were published before 2020, that the company sprang into action. Within a couple weeks, Market America took down nearly all of the claims identified by TINA.org.

SEE: Market America Database

TINA.org’s investigation into Market America went beyond the deceptive marketing of the company’s business opportunity, but that’s a good place to start. Here’s what you should know about Market America.

Show me the money

The bottom line? As a 28-year veteran of the MLM industry with seasoned lawyers on staff, Market America should not have to be reminded of the rules. And the rules state that using atypical earnings claims to recruit distributors is not only deceptive, it’s against FTC law.

From YouTube User to YouTube Artist: Claiming Your Artist Channel

Transitioning from a regular YouTube user to an official YouTube Artist is a significant milestone in your music career.

This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of how to claim a YouTube artist channel, empowering you to take control of your online presence and elevate your music career.

Understanding the Importance of a YouTube Artist Channel: Before diving into the steps on how to claim a YouTube artist channel, it's crucial to understand why it's so important. A YouTube Artist Channel offers numerous benefits that go beyond just having a verified badge next to your name. It consolidates all your music content, including official videos, songs, and live performances, under a single channel. This makes it easier for fans to find and engage with your content. Additionally, an Artist Channel gives you access to advanced analytics, which can help you understand your audience better and tailor your content to their preferences.

Furthermore, an Artist Channel allows you to integrate with YouTube Music, giving your tracks more visibility on the platform. YouTube Music is rapidly becoming a go-to service for music streaming, and having your content featured prominently there can significantly increase your reach.

Additionally, you need to have music distributed through an official distributor, such as a record label or a music aggregator like CD Baby or TuneCore.

Verify Your Channel Through Your Distributor:

Once you've met the eligibility requirements, you’ll need to verify your channel through your music distributor. Most major distributors offer a service to help artists claim their YouTube Artist Channel. You’ll need to provide them with your channel URL and any other necessary information. They will then initiate the process with YouTube.

Wait for Confirmation from YouTube:

After your distributor has submitted the request, you will need to wait for YouTube to process and confirm your Artist Channel. This can take a few weeks, so be patient during this time. YouTube will notify you once your channel has been upgraded to an official Artist Channel.

Optimize Your New Artist Channel:

After claiming your channel, it’s time to optimize it. Start by customizing your channel layout.
