Sirs.-The college year of 1896-7, which is now drawing to a close, has been one of success and progress in all lines of work. The general health of the students and faculty has been good. But very few members of the faculty have been absent from a day's duty on account of health, and there have been few absen- tees from any cause. During the winter a visitation of grippe attacked many students and professors, but it was of a mild type. and yielded readily to treatment. There has been no other gen- eral attack of disease during the year. ATTENxDANCE.--The enrollment of students for the year is 197. Of this number 151 are males, and 46 are females. The enrollment shows the whole number of students attending at any time during the year, and is, of course, always larger than the actual attendance at any particular time. The attendance during this, the last term of the year, is o09 males, and 38 females: total 147. The attendance at the same period of the year in 1896 was 116 males and 33 females; total 149. The exceptionally close times for money, the excitement and interest due to the presidential campaign, and the great de- vastation wrought by the storm of last September have made the attendance at the college this year smaller than it would otherwise have been. And there have been some other influences at work which have probably made the attendance smaller than it would have been. But in spite of all difficulties the enrollment is only two less than in 1895-6 when it was 199 at this period of the term. About May ist last year there were some additions to our list of students, as the high school in Lake City closed, and the whole enrollment for the year reached 203, being two less than in the previous year, when it was 205, which is the largest enrollment the college has had. In nearly all schools in all parts of the country the enroll- ment of students this year has been smaller than in some previ- ous years. In some schools the enrollment has been much smaller than formerly. The excellent enrollment at our school, in spite of all untoward influences, speaks well for the general prosperity of Florida, and for the confidence in our school which the people of Florida begin to feel. Comparing the present enrollment of students with that of the year before the present board of trustees assumed control of the college shows a most encouraging increase. The enrollment for several years is as follows,-the year 1892-3 being the one preceding the administration of the present board:- 1892-3 .................... .. ............ ........ 83 1893-4 ......... .. .. ........ ......... ... .......... 187 1894-5 ............. .... ............ .............. 205 1895-6 ........... ........ .......... ............. 203 1896-7 ................... ........... ............. 197 An Analysis of the Attendance.

It is, of course, grateful to the author- ities to have the people among whom the college is located show their confidence in the school by sending their boys and girls to receive its training. But whether this large number of students from Lake City and Columbia county is altogether for the best is a question that should receive consideration. In as far as stu- dents from this section are prepared to enter the regular classes, in the four-year college courses, there is at present no serious objection to their admission, though the time will doubtless come when more numerous applications from other counties will make it necessary to curtail the too large proportionate number from Columbia county. But in regard to our prepara- tory school, conditions are somewhat different. The prepara- tory school is especially intended to prepare for the college class- es those students who come from sections of the state where there are no good preparatory schools. It was not intended that our preparatory school should take the place of the public school in Lake City, and, by giving a good course of training to the boys and girls of the city and county, save to the city and coun- ty expense of erecting buildings and paying a full corps of teachers, for a first-rate school of their own. But the people of Lake City were not slow to discover the excellence of our pre- paratory school and the economy of sending to it, hence the large number of students from this city in our school and the corresponding small number in its grammar school and high school, for which the city supplies but few teachers, and gives to them most inferior buildings, and most meagre equipment. A further matter of importance in this connection is the ele- ment of disorder introduced into college discipline by so large a number of students who do not room in the college barracks, and who for a good part of the 24 hours cannot be under the di- rect supervision of college authority. Upon this point I will not now dwell, but will only say that a very large part of the friction as to control of students comes from those students who do not room in the barracks, but who have their rooms with their parents or with others in the city. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.-The agricultural and mechani- cal colleges in all the states are founded on the grants of land and of money made to the states by congress. The first grant was of laflds under the Morrill bill in 1862. Section 4 of this bill says that the proceeds of the lands shall be inviolably appropri- ated "to the endowment, support and maintenance of at least one college, where the leading object shall be, without exclud- ing other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agri culture and the mechanic arts." The Morrill bill of 1890 grants money to the several states for the additional endowment of the schools of agriculture and the mechanic arts. This fund began at $15,ooo a year, increases at the rate of $1,ooo a year, until it reaches the amount of $25,ooo a year, at which point it remains a permanent endowment. The Morrill bill giving this sum declares that the money shall "be applied only to instruction in agriculture, the mechanic arts, the English language, and the various branches of mathematical, physical, natural, and economic science, with special reference to their applications in the industries of life, and to the facilities for such instruction." Both the "Land Scrip Act," of 1862, and the "Morrill Bill," of 1890, declare that no moneys accruing from said acts "shall be applied, directly or indirectly, under any pretense whatever, to the purchase, erection, preservation, or re- pair of any building or buildings." It is clear to any reader of these bills that congress intended that the money granted by them should be inviolably used for the purposes designated in the bills, as quoted above, and that none of the money should in any way be used for building pur- poses. Your honorable board of trustees has endeavored to con- form honorably to the requirements of the laws under which the Florida State Agricultural College receives the grants from the National Government. Hence you have authorized the follow- ing courses of instruction:- THE AGRICULTURAL COURSE.-In our Florida Agricultural College the first course of instruction offered is the "Agricul- tural." It embraces careful instruction in those sciences on which a thorough practical knowledge of agriculture must al- ways be based, viz: physics, chemistry, botany, anatomy, physi- ology, zoology, entomology, and geology. But in order to pur- sue these sciences with any degree of success. a student must have a somewhat complete training in the English language; in elementary mathematics; in drawing, and in logic, and psychol- ogy. Hence these studies appear in the "Agricultural Course." It is, perhaps, best to call attention to the fact that this course, as laid down in our college, is essentially the same as the agricultural courses prescribed in all of the best agricultural col- leges in America. During the last 35 years a good deal of at- tention by the ablest educators has been given to this subject, and they have marked out such studies as seem to them best fitted to give a knowledge of agriculture. The course in agricul- ture,' as laid down in our Florida College, follows, in the main, the studies which these able educators have indicated. Any college can offer a course of instruction, may put em- phasis upon that course, and endeavor to have students enter upon and complete it. But no college can compel students to take any particular course. Of the different courses offered by a college students select that one which they and their parents de- sire. In the present condition of education and of agriculture in America, the number of parents who desire their sons to take a course in agriculture is not large. 'I cannot here go into a state- ment of the causes which lead to this lack of interest in agricul- tural education, but the fact that there is little general interest in such education is clear to all observers. This lack of interest leads to small attendance at those colleges that teach only agri- culture, and to small enrollment in the classes in agriculture in those colleges which offer other courses. In our college the enrollment of students in agriculture is small. We can do no more than give good instruction to the few who apply, endeavor to show the advantages of such educa- tion, and await the time when a more prosperous condition of the agriculture of the whole country, and a higher appreciation of agriculture as an honorable and profitable pursuit, shall bring a larger number of students into the agricultural course. THE MECHANICAL COURSE.-The "Land Scrip Bill," of 1862, puts "the mechanic arts" on an equality with agriculture as to the ends to which the money, accruing from the grants of lands, is to be applied; and the "Morrill Bill," of 1889, does the same as to the money it grants. The mechanic arts are given a place in the courses of instruction in the schools, founded on these grants, not by sufferance, but by right. They are in the course because their friends have the right to demand that they shall be given equal opportunities with agriculture. The college not giving such equal right to the mechanic arts is violating the laws through which it receives its funds. Recognizing this fact the Florida Agricultural College has prepared a "Mechanical Course" to which it attaches the same importance and the same honor as to the agricultural course. This mechanical course includes training in mathematics and its applications in the theoretical mechanics, and careful training in those sciences that have direct bearing on mechanics, and in free-hand and mechanical drawing. It assumes, as a matter of course, that the trained mechanist is a trained man, and hence gives thorough culture in the English language and in mental, ethical and political science. In order to educate the hand as well as the head, and to enable the student to work as well as to think, we have a well-equipped shop, supplied with tools and machinery or doing work in wood and iron. This shop is the laboratory of the mechanical department, as it supplies to the students in the mechanical course facilities similar to those of- fered in other courses by the chemical, physical, and biological laboratories. Since its first organization the mechanical course has been popular with parents and with students. The class-room work introduces students to fascinating subjects of study, and the work-shop gives them not less fascinating employment in learn- ing to use tools and machines. As to numbers this course is much better patronized than the agricultural. The reasons for this popularity are not difficult to point out, but I will not here enlarge upon them. It should be the policy of the college to improve the equip- ment of the Mechanical Department as rapidly as conditions will permit. LATIN SCIENTIFIC COURsiE.-The land scrip act of 1862, in speaking of the instruction to be given in the schools to be founded under its provisions and of the subjects to be taught, expressly says "not excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics." If "other scientific and classical studies" are not to be excluded, then evidently they are to be included. In carrying out this provision of the law we have established the "Latin Scientific" course, in which a part of the instruction in English, in mathematics, and in science, found in the agricultural and mechanical courses, is replaced with the study of the Latin language. Many years of attention to Latin in most of the great schools of America and Europe has so trained public opinion as to education that a course of in- struction including Latin is much in demand. In our college some of our most efficient students, both among young men and young women, seek this course. The results shown in their training by the time they have reached graduation day prove that the course is a most excellent one. WOMEN'S COURSE.-In the fall of 1893 women were first admitted as students. They are allowed to take any course that the college offers, no restrictions as to courses being put upon them other than we put upon young men. This open door for women has been entered by more than was anticipated. The en- rollment of women the first year was 54; the next year it was 49; the next it was again 54; and the present year it is 46. When hard times make it difficult for parents to send their children to college, and either boys or girls rlust be denied the privilege, it is very apt to be the girls who are kept at home. The boys are to be the bread winners, and their education seems the most es- sential. This probably accounts for the decrease in women stu- dents during the past year. Recognizing the fact that many women desire an education that shall fit them for the duties of wives, mothers, workers in education, in society, and in the church I arranged a "Women's Course," that includes English, mathematics, science, modern languages, and somewhat of manual training, psychology, ethics, and logic. This course should include thorough training in Domestic Economy, that is in housekeeping, cooking, the making of garments, sewing, embroidery, lace-making, the care of the sick, home-making, and all the duties that devolve upon the mistress of the home and the Christian woman in society. But thus far our income has not rendered it possible for us to perfect this "Women's Course" in these directions. I hope that these financial limitations may at some time be removed, and that a complete course for women who expect to become wives, mothers, and home-makers may be offered. Our women students, in the regular college classes, have thus far taken mainly the Latin Scientific Course, only a small minor- ity preferring the Women's Course. This is doubtless partly due to the fact that our Women's Course is confessedly incom- plete, and that a good many young women desire to train them- selves for teachers. A good many women students are in the preparatory class, or the courses in business or stenography. COURSE IN BUSINESS.-In 1893 when the present board of trustees assumed the control of the college, a Business Course was inaugurated. This course includes penmanship, commer- cial arithmetic, commercial law, and book-keeping. It has met a present need in the education of our young men and women, a good many of whom take this course and receive in it such training as fits them for practical commercial, or other business pursuits. COURSE IN STENOGRAPHY, TYPE-WRITING AND TELEGRA- PHY.-Thiscourse was instituted at the same time as that in Bus- iness. It gives practical training to its students, fitting them for positions in commercial houses, law offices, telegraph offices, and other places where their services are needed. It has always had as many students as the two teachers could well attend to, and has turned out some well-trained young men and women. In this course, and in the business course a thorough prep- aration in elementary studies is essential. Some young students get the impression that a business course or a course in stenog- raphy for one year will fit them to earn a fair salary. Such im- pression is a serious error, unless the student is already well- trained in English, arithmetic, and penmanship. Such well-pre- pared students can, in one year, become sufficiently versed in book-keeping to take care of a simple set of books, and after some experience can take a more responsible position. No ex- perienced business man would think of trusting his books in the hands of an untrained student who has had only the year of edu- cation in a business course. And no student is competent to take a position as stenographer simply because he can write short-hand with some degree of speed. He needs also a thor- ough knowledge of spelling, grammar, capital letters, and punct- uation. And he needs that instructive knowledge of the use of English that comes only with wide reading of the best literature, and some acquaintance with the more common fields of literary and scientific thought. An uneducated short-hand writer can- not do good work in the office of a small business house or law firm; much less can he report and transcribe an address given by an able man in some field of thought with which the reporter has no acquaintance. Many of the students in our courses in buisness and stenography have been sadly deficient in this ele- mentary training. But many of -those who had this elementary training are now occupying good positions in business houses of various character. PREPARATORY COURSE.-In some parts of Florida the pub- lic schools are not able to fit students for our college freshman class. Hence we have a preparatory school for this purpose. The studies pursued in the preparatory school are such as every student needs all his life, even if he does not enter college. Some students, by the influence of the preparatory school and by as- sociation with college students and professors during their stay in the preparatory school, are awakened to an ambition to enter the college classes and complete the four years of college studies. In the present condition of education in Florida our prepare atory school is a necessity. It will be best for it to be continued for a few years to come. But as the public schools become bet- ter, even in the remote parts of the state, and as the pressure of students in our regular college work becomes greater in conse- quence of the general improvement of education, it will be well for us to give up our preparatory school, and relegate all pre- paratory work to the public schools. I have no doubt but the spirit of the laws, by which congress has given lands and money to the different states for the support of schools of agriculture and the mechanic arts, requires that the funds be used for col- lege work. When we are able to leave the work of preparing students for college to the public schools, and to confine our own labors to college studies, we shall be more thoroughly in harmony with the spirit of the laws of congress through which our endowments come to us. MILITARY TRAINING.-Instruction in military science and tactics is one of the branches which we are required by the law of 1862 to give our students. Even if the law did not require it I believe that it would be wise for us to give it. Where boys and young men must room in dormitories or "barracks," eat at a common table, have their sports together on a common play- ground, and so be associated together intimately every hour of every day, I am convinced that a military system is essential for the wisest management of a body of students. We have adopted a modification of the West Point system, adapting it to the age and advancement of our students, and to the conditions under which we must work. So that our military system includes not only the drill of the parade ground, and the class-room work in military science, but also the whole routine of work and meals and play from the time students rise in the morning until they go to bed at night. In general the system works well. Some students who come to us from homes where little restraint has been put upon them, where they have had no regular habits as to rising, meals, study, work and play, find our system at first somewhat irksome, and do not like it. If this dislike is fostered by unwise parents, as is sometimes the case, the result usually is that the student is soon dismissed, or else leaves of his own de- sire. But where the student endeavors to obey regulations he soon comes to see that the regulations serve for his own comfort and protection, and for his training in habits of order and promptness. Before long he comes to like the system, and to enjoy his life in the barracks and class-rooms, on the drill- ground and campus. There is no doubt whatever that the general results of our mil- itary system have thus far been good. More experience with the system on our part, a more thorough knowledge of it and obedience to it on the part of students, a wiser appreciation of it on the part of some parents; joined, at some time, with more commodious barracks, a good armory, a better drill-ground, and a more spacious play-ground, will, by and by, give results that will be ideal. GRADUATES.-The first diplomas were granted by our col- lege to a class of three students in 1889. Since then 29 more have graduated, so that the number of graduates is now 32. The names of graduates, with their degree, and present residences and occupations are as follows:- 1889. Hutchinson J. Cone, B. S., Benton, Fla. Student in U. S. Naval Academy, Anapolis, Md. J. C.

Williams, A. B., Tampa, Fla. Law student. A CONSIDERATION OF THE LIST OF GRADUATES.-It will be seen that the profession of teaching is the one thus far most pop- ular with our graduates. This is a very common experience with such schools as ours. The student, just through college, is often in need of money, his college course has fitted him for teaching, a position as teacher is not difficult to find, the com- pensation is fair, the work can be taken up and laid down at pleasure. Hence to teaching many young graduates resort. Of our 33 graduates, 18, or about 47 per cent are now engaged in teaching. The law, as usual, takes the next largest number, nine of 32 being now lawyers or students of law; more than 28 per cent of the whole number. Only two are doctors, or students of medicine; two are electricians; one is a manufacturer of turpen- tine; one is aiding her mother to make the home; one is a stu- dent in the Navy. Considering our different courses of instruction it will be seen that our graduates are all working in lines for which their college training has specially fitted them. As yet no student has taken up the work of farming or cultivating the soil in any of its branches. I know that in some agricultural colleges a good many of the graduates who begin as teachers become farmers. gardeners, or fruit growers after they have saved a little money to begin with. Probably this will be the case with our gradu- ates. It has been the experience of some other agricultural col- leges that more students enter the agricultural course after the general excellence of that course becomes understood, and after it is learned that there has been a demand for well-trained agri- cultural graduates, as teachers, as professors in agricultural col- leges, and as workers in experiment stations. METHODS.-It has been my purpose to adopt at the college in all departments the most approved methods of instruction. In this purpose I have been ably seconded by nearly all mem- bers of the faculty. Our professors and instructors are nearly all men and women of careful culture, who are interested in modern methods of instruction and are competent to put those methods into practice. Hence, in as far as the conditions under which we work render possible, we are training our students af- ter the methods which the ablest educators in Europe and America recommend. We train the memory of students, but in no department of the college does a recitation sink to the level of mere rote work. We use text-books, but in every department the text-book is secondary to the living word of the trained teacher and to the work of student in library and laboratory. We have recitations, but in the recitation we endeavor that the student shall realize and assimilate the thought, or the scene, or the character, or the principle rather than to make him a conduit through which shall flow a noisy stream of memorized words. With us every class- room and work-shop is a laboratory, a place for labor, and the student is taught to do by doing. It seems to me that we are started in the right direction; that we are pursuing the best methods. We need to go on. Perhaps we may not "go on unto perfection," but we can go on towards perfection. From year to year we can improve our fac- ulty, add to our equipment, more fully carry out our method, ad- vance the grade of admission to the freshman class, fill the whole atmosphere of college life with more stimulating and more in- spiring ideals. May we not hope that the results in training young men and women in practical knowledge and in noble character will abundantly compensate the national government for the generous endowment it has given, and return a hundred fold to Florida for its financial aid and its fostering care? EMPLOYMENT OF OUR OWN GRADUATES.-That we are finding among our own graduates students who are qualified in knowledge and character for responsible positions in our faculty is a happy omen. These young men and women will soon have the training and the experience to take full professorships with us, or in other colleges that are fortunate in being more richly endowed than we are. Robert L. Borger graduated as A. B., in our college in the class of 1893. He then took graduate work for a year in John Hopkins University and received his second degree. Then for some time he taught mathematics in Indiana, and in 1895-6 was an emergency teacher with us. At the opening of the present college year he was made assistant professor of mathematics, and given full charge of the department. A. L. Quaintance graduated here as B. S., in the class of 1893. He took graduate work for a year in the Alabama Agri- cultural College, at Auburn, when he was chosen a member of our faculty as assistant in Biology, in which position he has since continued. J. P. Davies graduated in our class of 1895 as B. S. He re- turned here as a graduate student in the fall of the year. Our assistant in chemistry and physics resigned during the year, to accept a better position in the North Carolina Experiment Sta- tion, and Mr. Davies was chosen to the vacant place, in which he still remains. N. H. Cox graduated from our Mechanical Course as B. S., in 1896. He was at once chosen assistant in mechanics. He re- mained during the summer pursuing graduate studies, and has for this year been in charge of the work in the work-shop and assistant in teaching. W. W. Flournoy graduated in our B. A. course in 1896. He was chosen librarian, in which work, and as assistant in math- ematics, he has labored during the present year. Miss Jennie Abright, of Meridian, Miss., took our course in stenography and type-writing in 1893, and received the certifi- cate in that department. In 1896 she was made assistant to the professor in that department, and has rendered good service during the present year. EXPENSES OF A STUDENT.-Our income from the endow- ments of the general government enables us to make tuition free to all students from Florida. In order to secure a small fund for use in repairs of buildings, and for other purposes to which the laws do not allow us to apply our national income, we charge a small fee for incidentals, for room rent, and for material con- sumed in some of the laboratories. The mess hall, and kitchen, and the larger part of their equipment having been paid for from funds received from the state of Florida, we are able to offer board at the rate of $Io per calendar month. For this sum we are able to provide abundant, wholesome, and well-cooked food. Students are provided with furnished rooms, but supply their own bed clothes and room linen. The expenses of a student for incidentals, room rent, text-books, laboratory fees, board, wash- ing, lights, traveling fees, and clothing should not be more than $180 a year. This amount will put an economical student through the year in very good shape. Some spend consider- able less than this. Some, whose parents are unwisely generous, spend more. IMPROVEMENTS.-The improvements indicated in your re- port for the year 1896 to the State Superintendent of Public In- struction are all important for the growth and prosperity of the college. Of the first importance is the securing of more ample grounds. It is most unwise to go on erecting expensive build- ings on the present narrow space. A college having such en- dowment as ours, with a prosperous future before it, should have grounds giving sufficient space for all purposes of education, health, athletics, and beauty. We should have a large area for drill ground, for all sports for young men and for young women as well, for target range, for botanic gardens, for an arboretum in which can be grown every tree and shrub that will thrive in Florida, and for farm, gardens, orchards, and groves. I am sure that every thoughtful friend of education who has seen the at- tractive grounds and gardens and farms of some of the agricul- tural colleges would deplore the unwisdom of continuing to ex- pend money on the inferior grounds now occupied by us. Not until the college has secured a suitable amount of well located land can it wisely plan for its future growth. To the importance of this need I have not failed to call your attention on every pos- sible occasion. If to you my persistence seems excessive I hope that you will set it down to my interest in the college, and to an appreciation,-founded on wide observation of other great schools-of its expanding needs. SCHOLARSHIPS.-Two years ago the board established three scholarships, amounting to a student's board and college fees for the year; one to the student having the best record for the year in the freshman class, the same in the sophomore and junior classes. There was the first year a good degree of honor- able strife to secure these prizes. The same is true of the pres- ent year. FINANCES.-You will observe that we are still obliged, as has formerly happened, to draw upon the resources of next year to pay a part of the expenses of this year. This necessity should be in some way overcome. Either we should increase our in- come or reduce our expenses. Of course the better way for the growth and improvement of the college is to increase the in- come. But if this cannot be done we should so arrange our work and expenses as to bring them strictly within our income, even though for the present such arrangement will cut off some important parts of our work. This matter will need considera- tion at the approaching annual meeting of the Board. Thelegislature of 1895 gave the college a generous appropri- ation of $5,000 a year for two years. A large part of this appro- priation was used for repairs of buildings; some for the erection of a small barn for the college; some for the payment of general college expenses, thus kepeing down to a lower figure the over- draft on the Land Scrip Fund; and some was applied to the building of the propagating house for the Experiment Station, and for general expenses of the station. A detailed statement of the expenditure of this fund is herewith published. The books of the college have been carefully and accurately kept. They show to a cent the moneys received from all sources, and the amounts paid and for what paid. These books are al- ways open to the inspection of national and state officials, to members and committees of the legislature, and to other citizens of the state. A detailed statement of receipts and expenditures of the different funds for the financial year ending June 30, 1896, and for the portion of the present financial year ending April, 1897, is published herewith. The usual full report of the present financial year, ending June 30, 1897, will be published soon after the end of the year. In closing this report it is a pleasure to express my thanks to the faculty of the college for their careful attention to duty and their willingness to cooperate in all work. And to the board of trustees my thanks are due for their constant confidence and generosity. Very respectfully yours, 0 CLUTE. President Florida Agricultural College. Lake City, Fla., April 28, 1897.

Many handicappers take action. Even it's just the other side of the game with a friendly wager between friends. But this my friend is in fact bookmaking or being a bookie. Back in the day, I was living a bookmaking dream in Las Vegas building my bankroll, taking action then using where I lived in Las Vegas and turning around and I would post up the money booking any bets I couldn't cover from my personal bankroll.
Currently, because all the new legalized sports betting is the bookie game finished? I think not, because the "I'll pay you Tuesday for a wager today" is alive and well. Back to my story, I still have friends paying me back on these silly deals, $5000 on the Super Bowl that didn't go well… For them 😉 So I think the Bookies future is very secure.
Just like handicappers, I have seen many bookies get broke. Good bankroll management still applies.

What is the {term}? Bundesbank
The Bundesbank, or Deutsche Bundesbank, is the central bank of Germany and is the equivalent of the U.S. Federal Reserve. It is located in Frankfurt, Germany and has a group of nine regional offices throughout the country in Berlin, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Hanover, Leipzig, Mainz, Munich and Stuttgart. Like most central banks worldwide, the Deutsche Bundesbank oversees the nation's banking system and monetary policy.
BREAKING DOWN Bundesbank
The Bundesbank was once in charge of the German deutsche mark. However, since Germany adopted the euro in January 2002. The Bundesbank is part of the European central banking system. The Deutsche Bundesbank is considered by many to be the most important and stable central bank in the European Union due to Germany's reputation for diligent fiscal and monetary measures.
Organization of the Bundesbank
The Bundesbank is governed by the Executive Board, which is composed of the president, the vice-president and four other members. The members of the Executive Board are appointed by the president of the Federal Republic of Germany. The president serves for eight years, and the current president, who is nominated by the Federal Government, is Dr. Jens Weidman.
The Bundesbank controls the country's monetary policy to maintain price stability. The bank cooperates with the European Central Bank (ECB) and the other euro-area central banks, which form the Euro system. The president of the Bundesbank President votes on the Governing Council of the ECB.
Maintaining a Stable Currency
The Governing Council of the ECB maintains price stability by applying monetary policy measures to increase the euro area's average price level below two percent each year. The ECB also controls the interest rates at which commercial banks lend money. Because lending rates affect purchasing and investment decisions, the monetary policy of the ECB influences prices. The Bundesbank also settles the refinancing operations of the Eurosystem, and its experts provide information on Eurosystem monetary and economic policy issues.
The German Economic Boom
Germany is experiencing an economic boom. Bundesbank's experts expect gross domestic product (GDP) to increase by 2.0% in 2018, 1.9% in 2019 and 1.6% in 2020. In 2017, the German economy 2.5% in the previous year. President Jens Weidman commented, "Overall, the projection paints a picture of an ongoing economic boom, in which increasing supply-side bottlenecks are reflected in strong wage growth and in higher domestic inflation." Economists are expecting weaker growth over the next year because a lack of skilled workers is hampering economic growth, which is limiting the households' disposable income and consumer spending.

Anybody remember seeing a pencil drawing or black and white cartoon of a frumpy country boy sitting at a shooting bench snuggled in behind an old style benchrest rifle with a Unertal style scope on it. The caption underneath the drawing just said "stool shootin ".
It may have been in an old Precision Shooting magazine or Club literature from one of the old IBS BR rifle clubs back east.

Wool Carpet Pros and Cons
Wool carpet is one of the most well-known types of flooring in the world. Wool is one of the oldest carpet fibers on the planet and it is still popular to this day. Here are some of the pros and cons that come with wool carpet.
- Durability- Wool carpet is one of the most durable carpets in the world. It will stand up to a lot of abuse and it works great in a number of different applications.
- Feel- Nothing else feels quite like wool carpet. Wool presents you with one of the softest carpet fibers available and it feels great to walk on in your bare feet.
- Renewable- Wool is a renewable resource that does not negatively impact the environment when it is harvested.
- Cost- The biggest disadvantage of wool carpet is that it costs so much. It is one of the most expensive carpet fibers in the world and many people can not afford to pay for it. To have it installed, you would usually be looking at well over $100 per yard.
- Stain resistance- Wool is not as stain resistant as some of the other synthetic carpet fibers. In comparison to nylon, polyester, and triexta, it is not as naturally stain resistant.

Mikey and I used to be obsessed with this local restaurant in Sturbridge, Ma called Kaizen. We would go there as often as once every week and no matter how often we had dinner there, it never got old or boring. Mikey has always been the adventurous one and would try his best to sample each and every sushi and sashimi dish they had to offer and to be honest, over time and it kind of seemed like it was his goal!
Anyways, incase you are not familiar with Kaizen, it is a quaint little sushi bar and hibachi grill in Sturbridge and is pretty well-known to all the local and non local foodies that come to this area thanks to the Brimfield Flea Market. Whenever we would stop in for a late lunch or dinner I would always end up either ordering the Hibachi Filet Mignon or their Lemongrass Chicken… they are my favorite!
I thought about Kaizen last night when trying to figure out what to make for dinner tonight and decided to give the Lemongrass Chicken a try… but then I got nervous that maybe it wouldn't come out as well as anticipated because lets face it… I have never attempted to make this dish before! That being said I was torn, make Lemongrass Chicken over some salad greens or make Giada De Laurentiis Lemon Fettuccine juuuuuust incase I flop! Well how about both??? They are very similar in the ingredients department, both very easy according to multiple sources, and if one is not a success then I have the other dish as back up… GENIUS!
And the Lemongrass Chicken goes something like this…
1.5 Lbs Boneless Chicken Tenders
4 Stalks Lemon Grass (you can find it at Big Y in the fresh herb section of the produce department)
1 Coarsely Chopped Shallot
6 Tsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
6 Tsp Sugar
6 Tsp Minced Garlic (about 4-5 large cloves)
2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
Ok so I know that working with Lemongrass is a bit intimidating…. trust me. But that being said, you just need to deal with it and get it over with!
Take the 4 stalks of Lemongrass and cut both ends off then remove the initial layer of skin.
After the ends are trimmed cut them in half so they are about 1″ long.
Half them length wise then cut each half length wise again so they are cut into quarters.
Once this step is complete, transfer the Lemongrass to a food processor and pulse until it is super shredded and is very fine.
That was before… then below is after!
So next what we are going to do is combine all of the ingredients except for the chicken into a bowl or Tupperware and whisk together well.
Next, cube the chicken tenders into bite sized pieces.
Mix well into the Lemongrass & Soy Sauce mixture and let sit for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Heat a large sauce pan over medium heat and add the chicken and lemongrass mixture.
Cook chicken throughly until no longer pink in the center.
Serve chicken and lemongrass sauce over salad greens or I bet steamed white rice would be even more delicious!
That is how I am going to serve it next time for sure!
