Just setup your DNS zone file with the following settings:
your_site_name.com.  14400 IN MX     0 smtp.secureserver.net.
your_site_name.com. 14400 IN MX 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net.

mail 14400 IN CNAME mail.secureserver.net.
smtp 14400 IN CNAME smtp.secureserver.net.
mailstore1 14400 IN CNAME mailstore1.secureserver.net.
pop 14400 IN CNAME pop.secureserver.net.
pop3 14400 IN CNAME pop.secureserver.net.
imap 14400 IN CNAME imap.secureserver.net.

My thoughts enumerated on the importance of daily production meetings for software development.  --joe

1. Keeps Developers from working in isolation.
- good for comradery and morale
- good for addressing development issues in front of a group
- allows for group problem solving (saves time and money)
2. Keeps Developers on Task and Focused
- daily reporting always keeps a developer focused on production
- keeps the developers goal oriented (each meeting devs state their goals, and account for them in the next meeting)
- forces developers to focus on immediate tasks (helps keep them from getting sidetracked or wasting time on unneeded research)
- keeps the developers competing for productivity in relation to the other developers
- it also forces everyone to review their hours for the previous day, so we don't have clock-in sessions of 24+ hours and other such issues
3. Forces Developers to Keep good and Specific notes
- a daily demonstration of their progress keeps them going
- ensures a detailed work-log that can defend us against patent or copyright disputes.
4. Keeps developers in the loop
- keeps developers informed of code fixes and security issues
- if something is created by 1 developer that can be utilized by another then those things are typically discovered in the meetings.
- a lot of Apogee Code base education takes place in the meetings as questions arise.    
- helps developers coordinate when they're assigned to the same project (or similar projects where code can be reused)
5. We've tried this without meetings and...
- we have never been successful when we didn't enforce daily meetings
- communication breaks down
- we're all less productive (including myself)
- when developers are lost or struggling they tend to spin their wheels for much longer periods before seeking help, when there's a daily meeting they are forced to admin what took or is taking them so long.


MLM Powerline System Incentive to Potential Recruits @ApogeeINVENT

The Multi-level-marketing industry has grown exponentially over the past few years. Worldwide conglomerates recognize the potential of the mlm industry and rush to get a piece of the billion dollar pie.  Internet users worldwide are also getting involved because of the opportunity to make a little extra money.

In MLM, everybody wins!... that is, unless you're like most of the marketers who believe the promise of easy money with just some advertising effort. So they put in their hours of advertising and max out their credit cards and wait for the windfall. Only it doesn’t come.

In most MLMs, users are required to build what's called a "downline", or rather promote the company and have people sign up under them. Only once people sign up will a marketer qualify to earn commissions. Many users don’t have the connections or the incentive to build a large downline, and never make money from their MLM membership. This can be a deterrent for many new recruits.

With a powerline, interested users can see the people who could potentially be in their downline if they sign up. Distributors can bring in new recruits and add them into the genealogy structure. The new recruit can sign up in a given time frame at the level in which they entered, and already have a downline when they purchase a membership. This is a great incentive for users that aren’t sure if they can recruit anyone, or aren’t ready to commit. By allowing potential sign-ups to view the potential downline before buying into an MLM program is a huge benefit for MLM companies.

 

We have recently completed the integration of a powerline system into our MLM software platform due to its benefits for MLM companies. The powerline is modular and can be turned on or off.
