Kind of a funny title from the CEO of an eLearning company but I know what I'm talking about. As proof, we delivered our first eLearning product in 1989. It was a CBT for learning Digital Equipment Corporation's VAX/VMS operating system. It ran under DOS. In 1995, we delivered our first computer-based course builder and tracking system called Design-a-Course. Twelve years later we are still at it with our current offering of the same name, albeit completely rewritten and built for the web. So, I have been in this business as long as anyone and seen just about every type of eLearning customer.

There have been way too many customers who have purchased an eLearning system from our company to train a group of people who either:

A. Never get around to around to creating the courses. Or,

B. Never get their people to take the courses.

I'm not sure which is harder to believe. Why plunk down good money if you are not going to use the system? I'll tell you why. It's the same reason you don't see training in a lot of categories for, "business type" when you fill out a background sheet for a news or magazine subscription. Training and/or eLearning still doesn't have the importance it should. Training is always a good thought until something else "more important" bubbles to the top. "I got pulled off the new eLearning course rollout for something really important" is something we've frequently heard. I guess training and testing your computer operators to make sure they are doing the nightly backups correctly, which holds all your customer data, isn't all that important.

It is easy to show someone all the research data about how successful companies are the companies that invest in their employees' education. And they may appreciate it and buy the training product or service. But too often, after the excitement of the new purchase, the priorities shift. .

For the determined, cost conscious, and downright responsible users that actually develop and roll out their eLearning courses but never get anyone to take them, theirs is probably a bigger mistake. They spent the company's money and used company resources to develop the courses. I have asked customers, "How has the reception been to your new eLearning courses?" I have gotten answers like:

- I don't know, I haven't checked.

- Not everyone has gone through them.

- Not everyone finishes them.

This problem of people not using what they paid for and created does not bode well for the eLearning industry. So, whose fault is it? The students will tell you the courses were not good or not stimulating enough so they lost interest. That could be true. Creating a good, engaging course is a skill. And unfortunately not all companies have instructional designers and great graphics people within their organization. Most organizations just have a need to transfer knowledge to the employees on information critical to their company and job function.

Like all other business issues that affect the employee, it comes down to management. Sorry bosses. Learning in your organization, eLearning or any type, is your responsibility. It is part of your job to make sure your staff goes through the courses you took the time to put together. It has to be a job-mandated requirement from the top down. Not completing or not passing the provided courseware should affect the performance review, which should affect the salary. Sounds harsh I know. But your company is only as good as the knowledge you have inside it. Training needs to be mandated and tracked.

So, if you have purchased an eLearning system and never used it, blame yourself.

If you purchased an eLearning system, created the courses, deployed them and your students never used it, blame yourself again. Until learning during the normal course of the business day becomes as fully integrated as checking email in the morning, the growth and, more importantly, the positive and profitable effect eLearning can have on your company will be limited. Worse yet, the potential for a better-equipped, more effective workforce will not be realized.

Louis Bernstein has been the CEO of MindIQ, http://www.mindiq.com, since 1986. Mr. Bernstein brought to market their first eLearning product, The Personal Traininer, in 1989. The current eLearning system offered by MindIQ was first introduced in 1995 and has undergone several versions. Mr. Bernstein is a recognized speaker on eLearning and sales training. He holds a BA in Psychology from Southern Illinois University. More information can be viewed on these ideas at http://www.mindiq.com/elearning/dac

Different Types Of Chemical Treatment For Termites

Here are some of the more common ways to treat termites with chemicals. Please note these chemical treatments are also used as preventative treatments as well.

• Liquid Termiticide - Liquid termiticides are usually applied completely around and underneath a structure covering all areas where termites might gain access.

For new construction, this is accomplished by treating the graded soil before the slab is poured. For an existing building, the perimeter of the foundation is trenched and drilled then treated with termiticide.

The goal of the treatment is to put a chemical barrier between the termites in the soil and the structure above. The chemical barrier can also affect those termites inside a building by preventing their return to the soil. In many cases these termites will die of dehydration.

• Repellant Termiticide - There are several repellent termiticides on the market. These termiticides are all pyrethroids. Pyrethroids are fast acting nerve poisons that are highly toxic to termites but have low toxicity to mammals.

Some of the pyrethoid termite products include Dragnet FT, Cynoff, and Talstar (FMC Corporation, Philadelphia, PA) and Demon and Prelude (Syngenta, Inc., Greensboro, NC).

The pyrethroids are also highly repellent to termites. In most cases, they are so repellent that termites foraging under the soil will avoid coming into contact with the termiticide and forage elsewhere.
There are advantages and disadvantages to repellent termiticides. One advantage is that a complete barrier will effectively keep termites from coming into the structure. Also, the pyrethroids used for these barriers are relatively inexpensive and last for several years.

The disadvantage is that termites are able to detect this termiticide barrier in the soil and avoid lethal contact with them. This is important because applying a perfect barrier under a fully constructed house is very difficult.

Construction features, plumbing lines, and landscaping are just a few of the obstacles that hinder liquid termiticide application. Because of these difficulties, there are often gaps in the treatment where the termiticide was not applied completely.

Eventually, foraging termites may locate these gaps and gain access into the structure. If these termites find the structural wood, they will tunnel back through the untreated gap and recruit other termites into the building.

• Non-Repellant Termiticides - At the time of this writing there are two non-repellent termiticide treatments available on the commercial market. Both are nerve poisons like the pyrethroids, but they attack different sites on the nerve.

These chemicals are not repellant and termites cannot detect them in the soil. Therefore, the termites tunnel into the termiticide while foraging, contact the chemical, and die.
Premise (Bayer Corporation, Kansas City, MO.) contains the active ingredient imidocloprid. Imidocloprid is unique because it not only kills termites that contact a lethal dose, but it also kills them at doses too small to cause immediate death.

If a termite contacts even a very small amount of imidocloprid it will become lethargic and forget to eat and feed other termites. It will also forget to groom itself so it soon becomes infested with soil fungi.

The termite eventually dies as a result of these indirect symptoms of imidocloprid exposure. A disadvantage to Premise is that it is somewhat more expensive than the pyrethroid termiticides and in some cases may not last as long in the soil.
Termidor (Aventis Environmental Science, Montvale, NJ) is the newest termiticide on the market. Termidor became available in February 2000 for use as a non-repellent termiticide. The active ingredient is fipronil.

Fipronil is unique in that it can be transferred from one termite to another through contact and trophallaxis (communal feeding). This allows it to affect more termites than those that contact the chemical directly.

The advantage of this product is its long-term effectiveness in the soil. Test data indicate that fipronil may be effective longer after the initial application than other liquid termiticide products. A disadvantage is that Termidor is more expensive than other liquid termiticides.

What is the difference between a honda prelude and a honda prelude type SH?

does anyone no what the difference is betweeen theses two cars.
And which car is faster?

The SH handles better because it delivers more power to the outside wheel when turning. This reduces oversteer, and makes the car pretty fun to drive.
