For those that have been following international direct-selling news will be happy to hear that India is finally putting some measures into place to progress the direct-selling industry in their country, which has been sorely lacking the support. Although a small baby step toward the results needed, it is a step in the right direction.
Welcoming the formation of an inter ministerial committee to look into their issues, direct sellers have asked the government to frame a separate regulation after consulting all stakeholders in a time-bound manner for the sector.
The India Direct Selling Association (IDSA), which falls under the Prize Chits & Money Circulation Schemes (PCMCS) (Banning) Act, has been asking for a separate legislation for some time.

“We welcome the much awaited action taken by the government. We hope the government will draft an inclusive legislation in consultation with the industry stakeholders. We expect the government to give out time-bound legislation,” IDSA Secretary General Chavi Hemanth said.

“At present, in the absence of any separate regulatory framework business models like direct selling/

The Healthy Home Company Works Toward Saving Lives Of Law Enforcement

by Tina Williams • December 30, 2014 • 0 Comments

The Healthy Home Company has a mission to make the home a safer place to raise families. In-Vest USA is dedicated to supporting our communities by helping protect those who protect us – our first responders. Today, these two organizations have joined forces to save the lives of law enforcement officers by providing them with body armor through In-Vest’s USA’s Bless the Vest campaign to avoid future incidents like the tragic shootings that happened this past week in New York.
In-Vest USA’s Bless the Vest campaign provides law enforcement officers with protective body armor vests to wear while on duty protecting our families, communities and homeland. While many believe that officers are provided a vest as part of their equipment, this is far from the truth.
Facts:

An officer not wearing a body armor vest is 14 times more likely to be killed by a firearm than an officer wearing a vest.
40% of officers (almost 400,000) do not have a protective vest.
Of those who do have a protective vest to wear on duty, nearly 20% of those vests do not fit properly. A properly fitting vest can mean the difference between life and death.
Body armor vests must be replaced every 5 years and cost around
