First we will visit Erhai Lake. Erhai Lake is the largest highland lake next to Dianchi and one of the seven biggest fresh water lakes in China. It means, 'sea shaped like an ear', in Chinese. Implying that the lake is ear shaped and as large as a sea, hence it was so named. The lake covers an area of 250 square kilometers and is located about two kilometers east of Dali.
The next stop will be the Ancient City of Dali, which is a magnificent ancient city with a perimeter of 6 kilometers. Its former city wall is 7.5 meters high and 6 meters thick. There used to be four city gates, each on one side. On the gates were the gate towers. While Xiaguan, the capital of the Autonomous Region of Dali, depicts you an scene of prosperity and bloom, the Ancient City of Dali will give you a simple, unsophisticated and quiet impression.
Finally you will see the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple. It is a symbol of the history of Dali City, and a record of the development of Buddhism in the area. As its name implies, Three Pagodas are made of three ancient independent pagodas forming a symmetrical triangle. This is unique in China.
Day 10 Dali / Lijiang (B, L)
Transfer via: Private Car on our arrangement
Sightseeing: House of Bai people in Xizhou, Tie-Dyeing Zoucheng, Lijiang Ancient Town
In the morning you will take a private car into the direction of Lijiang. On the way, you will make a first stop at house of Bai people in Xizhou. The town of Xizhou is next to Erhai Lake and the Wanhua Brook. Historically, it was a military fortress of Nanzhao Kingdom and a temporary palace of the King of Nanzhao. Because of its favorable geographical situation, the town used to be a commercial centre before 1949 and where more than 140 national capitalist families used to live. Their houses are of the typical Bai design known as "Sanfang Yizhaobi" (a courtyard rooms on three sides and a screen wall on the remaining side) and "Sihe Wutianjing" (one big courtyard with four smaller ones at the four corners of the main one).
Our next stop will be Tie-Dyeing Zhoucheng, the largest and the farthest northern village of Dali City. The village has 7,571 inhabitants of 1,470 families. The entire village is in a square shape with row upon row of houses.
Arriving in Lijiang, you will be met by your local guide and then visit Lijiang Ancient Town. It is also known as Dayan Town in Lijiangba and was included in the UNESCO world heritage list in 1997. It was first built in the Southern Song Dynasty and in 1253 and became larger during Ming and Qing dynasties.
Day 11 Lijiang (B, L)
Sightseeing: Yulong Snow Mountain, Dongba Village
Today we will depart to Yulong Snow Mountain. It is the southernmost marine glacier in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. Altogether there are 13 peaks along the range, stretching for over 35km from south to north. The summit, Shanzidou, is 5596 meters above sea level. Viewed from afar, the snow-capped range resembles a silver dragon with snow curling up its middle. Rich forest, herb and animal resources thrive on the mountain.
On our way we will stop at Dongba Village in Yushui Stockade, which is built completely according to the traditional life style of Naxi Minority. You can feel the traditional atmosphere of national culture from the layout of its yard, building facilities, tools and details of life.
Day 12 Lijiang / Beijing (B, L)
Transfer via: Flight - on our arrangement
Sightseeing: Summer Palace
Today, you will be transferred to airport to take morning flight to Beijing. Upon arriving at the Beijing airport, your local guide will meet you and escort you to your hotel.
Then have a visit to the Summer Palace. Equally famous as the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace is called 'Yiheyuan' (Garden of Nurtured Harmony) in Chinese. Until nowadays, it is the best preserved and the largest imperial garden in China. You will regret it if you leave Beijing without having visited this grand imperial garden.
Day 13 Beijing (B,L)
Sightseeing: Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City
This morning our tour will begin with a visit of the Temple of Heaven, which was completed in 1420, and expanded over the years by two Qing Dynasty Emperors. It was the place where the Emperor came every winter solstice to worship heaven and to solemnly pray for a good harvest. With the three blue-tiled cone-shaped roofs, a unique wooden and blue-tiled structure built without a nail, it has become a worldwide symbol of Beijing.
After lunch, we will go on our city tour to visit Tiananmen Square, the symbolical heart of China and gathering place for the masses. It is the biggest public square in the world, which can hold one million people.
From here we will walk across the Golden River Bridge to visit the Forbidden City and experience the ancient Emperor's daily life. For 5 centuries Chinese emperors carried out their administration here. With almost 10,000 rooms, it was the centre of the Ming and Qing dynasties, a massive complex of palaces, pavilions, courtyards and gardens where 24 emperors used to live. Forbidden City was the largest palace in the world, and in the past it was indeed a forbidden place for commoners. Your tour here will include private access to the Emperor's palace.
Day 14 Beijing (B,L)
Sightseeing: Badaling Great Wall, Ming Tombs, Sacred Way
After experiencing the royal lifestyle, today we will be transferred to the surrounding countryside of Beijing and visit the Badaling Great Wall, the pride of China and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Whereas Genghis Khan contemplated it as a military obstacle, Richard Nixon described it as one of humankind's greatest achievements. You will be able to climb and walk one of the best preserved sections of the 2,000 years old ancient wall, admiring the splendid mountain views. Bring a jacket and layer- although it is breezy, the climbing is tough. So be in a good shape!
In the afternoon we will visit the legendary Ming Tombs, which are situated at the foot of Heavenly Longevity Mountain, Changping, northwest of Beijing. Since there are 13 Ming emperors buried there, this place was called the 13 Ming Tombs. You will walk along the Sacred Way, a road guarded by stone statues on both sides, as the ancient emperors did to hold a memorial ceremony for their ancestors. In addition, you will encounter the marble tombs of the Ming Dynasty emperors.
Day 15 Beijing / Departure (B)
Transfer via: flight on your own arrangement
Today you will be free for your own purposes, until our guide will escort you to the airport for your next destination.

My young son felt at home with her, and she went out of her way to take care of him and entertain him during the trip. She was also very knowledgeable about most things that we had questions about. We were very satisfied with the arrangements.

1. Guide was excellent, helpful, informative but not intrusive.
2. Driver was very good, did not drive too fast or zig-zag along the roads. Only problem was that the seatbelt in the van did not work properly.
3. We chose your company as you gave us the best price by a big margin. Lots of companies seem to quote ridiculous prices for non-Chinese travelers.
Thank you very much and if we plan to visit somewhere unusual like this again I will get in touch with your company.

Faro - what's it like?
5 Posts
I stayed in the Eva Hotel with a room overlooking the marina. From what I can remember, the restuarants were excellent, and the shopping pretty good too. As for places to visit, one of interest is the Chapel of Bones.
I was thinking of staying in Faro early next year to celebrate my 40th birthday, but found the hotels pretty expensive, so have opted for Tavira instead, but will visit Faro for the day.
I am sure someone will be able to give you a bit more uptodate info.
Anyone else got any comments to make about Faro please?
If you have any particular questions I will do my best to answer them
Faro is beautiful. Been there several times in the past 5 years. Shopping is very good and if you come across any bakeries look for the butter caramel hard coated balls which are to die for as are the custard tarts "natas". Order a "Galloe" too as it is like a delicious latte. Near the marina is the train station and if in your 3 days there you get your fill of Faro, I recommend visiting Olhao (old town charm with a cobble street as narrow as 2 feet-my parents home town), Albufeira (great night life), or Portimao/Praia da Rocha (spectacular beach).
Portugal is stunning....next time visit longer, in warmer weather and tour the entire region of Algarve. My website has lots of information on the towns and villages very close by, but you have to find me under private rentals section of this website. Enjoy Portugal Emgin!

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 28, 1985, New Braunfels, Texas rrrrI||| rrrr rrrr III 111 rrrr .......... «£==;-^ L THE WHITE HOUSE I James Kilpatrick o Hwrald-Zcitung pinions Dave Kraacr, General Manager Hobart Johnson, EditorHow much is anyone really worth? Philosophers teach us that for many of the most abiding questions of mankind no definitive answers exist. What is truth? What is justice? What is beauty? Lately we have been hearing a great deal about "worth." What is "worth"? People magazine recently reported the 1984 incomes of 57 celebrities. In Atlanta, the Constitution rounded up the salaries of the city's professional athletes. In Washington, the Fist published the reflections of a physician who inquired, "Do doctors deserve what they earn?" Consider a few figures. People magazine reported that Clint Eastwood earned $5 million for his role in "City Heat." Sally Field go $1.5 million for playing in "Places in the Heart." Tom Selleck is paid $220,000 for each episode of "Magnum, P.I." or $4.8 million for the season. Geraldine Ferraro has received a $1 million advance to write an autobiography; she was paid a half a million for a 30-second Pepsi-Cola commercial. Gavin MacLeod, captain of the Love Boat, sails along at nearly $1.4 million a year. Bill Cosby earns $1.1 million for his show. Other TV salaries: Brent Musburger, $2 million; Bryant Bumbel, "more than $1 million," and Diane Sawyer, $800,000. Alex, the dog that does commercials for Stroh's beer, takes home $317 a day. Down in Atlanta, home of the Braves, outfielder Dale Murphy tops the club payroll at $1.6 million. Third baseman Bob Horner scoops up $1.5 million. Pitcher Bruce Sutter threw for $1,125,000 last season. On the gridiron, the Falcons' running back William Andrews runs for $655,000. On the basketball court, the Hawks' center Tree Rollins dribbles along at $678,000. The Washington doctor, a woman internist, provided some figures from the American Medical Association. In 1983, on the average, a practicing physician earned $106,000. A few specialists, chiefly surgeons, earned in excess of $250,000. The typical pediatrician takes in $61,500 after expenses. A family doctor might charge $35 for half an hour of consultation. The doctrine of comparable worth is a hot topic here and in the state capitals. If roughly the same levels of education and stamina are required for < I) driving a truck and (2) running a laundry machine, are not the jobs of comparable worth? Shouldn't the wages therefore be roughly the same? What is the job of a trash collector worth? Are quarterbacks, rock stars, doctors and truck drivers "worth'' what they earn? Pubilius Syrus, who spent much of his life writing maxims, provided the best of all answers 2,000 years ago. "Everything," said this philosopher in his Maxim 847, "is worth what its purchaser will pay for it." Precisely. I have a friend, Dr. Lois DeBakey of Houston, who rumbles and growls incessantly at the injustice of an economic system that pays a rock star more than it pays a neurosurgeon. The rock star may not be able to write a coherent sentence; he may be a high school dropout; his social responsibility is zero. His take, after expenses, is $2 million a year. Is he worth it? Obviously the rock star is worth it. The free market says so. There is only one Michael Jackson, and thanks to a benign God, only one person called Prince, but evidently there are enough neurosurgeons to meet the demand. Geraldine Ferraro would not be getting that advance if her publisher didn't expect to make it back. As custom in the marketplace yeilds to laws against sexual discrimination, more women are driving trucks, and more men are becoming flight attendants. Dr. DeBakey insists that something is all wrong — something is woefully false — in the way society fixes its values. Ray Marshall, who served as Jimmy Carter's secretary of labor, says that theories of the marketplace bread down when it comes to comparable worth: Adam Smith's "invisible hand," he remarks, gets to be all thumbs. But the alternative in a free society is not to have a free society. The alternative is to have government fix wages, so that one neurosurgeon is officially worth four nose tackles. Maybe such decrees would work in a totalitarian state. They would never work St s^our::..Washington Today Networks act out media drama By DONALD M ROTHBERG AP Political Writer WASHINGTON — The most exciting television drama these days is a story of corporate intrigue and big money, involving the power struggles of a large cast of flamboyant characters. Don't look for it in the regular program listings, though. This show is real, played out in die media, as conservatives complain about a "liberal bias" in television news and talk of taking control of a network. John T. Dolan, chairman of the National Conservative Political Action Committee, recently used NBC videotape to offer the New Right's view of how a profile of new Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev should be handled by the networks. The network ran its own version followed by Dolan's, and there was no doubt the New Right would have handled that story far differently than NBC. Dolan's segment on the "Today" show was something of a cameo appearance compared to the lead roles being played recently in the network drama by Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., and Ted Turner, the owner of Cable News Network. While Dolan was displaying how he'd play the news if he ran a network, Helms and Turner are talking about taking control of one. Talking about forming an alliance with Helms and EIM is Turner, who is hungry to gain control of one of the three major networks. The Atlanta-based entrepreneur says he is looking around for the $4 billion it would take to get control of CBS. Is CBS worried? Network board chairman Thomas H. Wyman says there is "no financial substance" to reports Turner might launch a hostile takeover bid, his way of saying Turner couldn't raise the kind of money needed. However, CBS has gone to court and alleged that Fairness in Media has violated federal securities laws and engaged in improper political activity. Is NBC worried? Dolan's appearance on "Today" bas "nothing to do with the conservative onslaught on the media," said Steve Friedman, the show's executive producer, "nothing to do with any complaints We're just trying to do some different television." The NBC profile of Gorbachev was based primarily on the Soviet leader's recent visit to England and quoted several members of Parliament describing him as sensitive, self-confident and talking "very much like a westerner ... a Western intellectual." "Humorless" was the most critical adjective used to describe the Soviet leader. The Dolan profile described Gorbachev as "the new Soviet dictator" Is ABC worried? If the network was, it isn't any more. Against the backdrop of media criticism and rumors that more people than Helms and Turner were interested in network takeovers came the surprise announcement that ABC had been acquired by Capital Cities Communications Corp. for $3.5 billion.

If you weren't, you should have been. I certainly was. What happened was maddening, but simple. Some lines on two of the profiles — Ed Sciantarelli's and Darrell Sollberger's — were transposed where the story breaks on Page I and jumps to Page 14. As a result, you're reading Sollberger's views and suddenly you come across a paragraph that says, "Sciantarelli said...." Over on Sciantarelli's side, the last paragraph before the break reads like random words thrown together. Fortunately, both stories lose this "Alice in Wonderland" effect by the time you get to Page 14. We're sorry about the error, Darrell and Ed. Rest assured this wasn't an implied endorsement of Yale Simpson, whose profile made a clean jump to Page 14. To rectify matters, here are the garbled, transposed and generally abused portions of Wednesday's profiles as they should have read:Darrell Sollberger ("It was most surprising to someone with my background" not to see that information on a budget summary, he said.) "I was looking at the financial situation and there will be a tax increase to handle operating expenses," he said. "And if we need a tax increase to handle the bond issue, there will be a combination increase to handle the same level of service."Ed Sciantarelli ("To offset some of our problems, we have to address the issues on the whole," he said. "The number one beneficial thing is a sound economy.") And developing a sound economy can be done "by bringing in quality industry, non-polluting industry that provides a large number of good-paying jobs." Sciantarelli said he has talked to people who are concerned abut the approaching city bond issue, especially elderly persons on fixed incomes. "The people are just getting used to the increase in their school taxes and (are facing) the threat of another bond issue," he said. ;

Department Philosophy
The Social Studies Department is committed to introducing students to the social studies through the study of geography and civics. In Grade 7 students will explore how geography affects the development of cultures and nations, and how human activity impacts the physical environment. They explore the world in spatial terms by examining human settlement by places and region. In Grade 8 students will explore civic participation and the development of government at the local, state and national level. They will come to understand the principles and values of the American democracy as it is embodied in the United States Constitution, and in how the United States interacts with other nations. Students will regularly engage in analysis of course content, primary and secondary sources, and different forms of media. Through the study of content they will continuously refine their reading,writing, listening, speaking and communication skills. The Social Studies Department curriculum infuses technological tools where appropriate in order to prepare students to responsibly use and create digital media.

Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of World War I
On July 28, 1914 the Austro-Hungarian Empire began an offensive against Serbia in retaliation for the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand one month prior. Europe's great powers were allied to one another in one of two complex alliances, and because of the obligations of these treaties these nations were soon embroiled in a vicious 4-year long conflict. The resources below relate specifically to World War I, and we offer them to the community as a way to learn about this conflict, and to remember all of those who perished in the Great War.

The reality of custom challenge coin delivery timeframes isn't determined by an advertisement. It's determined by the features or lack there of on your coin design.
I want to clear up some often advertised misconceptions. Often may be too light a word; this tactic used all the time. Companies are always giving ridiculous delivery timeframes in an attempt to get your order. Why wouldn't they use it if it's worked in the past?
This tactic is a lie, fairytale, fib, bending the truth or absolute folly; take your pick. These companies are implying that the advertised delivery timeframe applies to your order. I am here to wake you up. You have about a ten percent chance of that delivery timeframe applying to your order.
Here's why. Every feature added to a custom coin order adds to production time, including paint color. The over used seven to ten day delivery timeframe applies to challenge coin orders with no enamel paint color and no additional features. We're talking about the most basic coin here. In addition to that, these custom coin companies ship directly to the customer from their Chinese factories. They don't even perform a quality check on their product because they never see it.
Don't even get me started on the reason they offer a satisfaction guarantee. They will replace coins they never even looked at. What a joke! Maybe I'm being too harsh, in all fairness a satisfaction guarantee is offered by most custom coin vendors. It might not be stated on their website but most reputable coin suppliers stand behind their work, even if they've never seen it.
Another thing that bothers me is the jokers who advertise highest quality at the lowest price. Come on man, that's such a contradiction it's not even funny. Let's say the do have the best quality. How can I possibly know that? You can't know! You would have to produce challenge coins with every vendor on the internet in order to compare quality. This is just another over the top advertising gimmick that neither one of us has the money or time to substantiate. Quality is in the eye of the beholder and you can't quantify how important customer service excellence is, unless you've experience bad custom service.
I will leave you with some food for thought. High quality and low prices equal happy customers. They also equal price increases or businesses going under. There is overhead or expenses in all businesses. If your custom coin vendor isn't making enough money because they're attempting to beat everyone else's price, then you may wind up SOL (Shit out of Luck) when you're ready to reorder your coins.

Kevin Curran, the new general secretary of the GMB, had hardly got his feet under his new desk when he was called in by the Unity Trust, the union's bankers, to be told the GMB's overdraft limit could not be extended, and that he would have to sell £2 million of shares to meet this month's wage bill.
Given that the summons came just days after the departure of his predecessor, the famously belligerent John Edmonds, who also happened to be a director of Unity Trust until last year, was this bolt from the blue timed to circumvent Edmonds?
Add the fact that the GMB itself is a Unity Trust shareholder, as is its other lender, the Co-op Bank, a subsidiary of the Co-op Wholesale Society, and it looks like there could be ample opportunity for financial back scratching.
Not so, says Unity Trust. The fact it was Curran who received the bad news from Unity Trusts' managing director, Ian Sim, rather than Edmonds was entirely coincidental. 'It is a coincidence,' says Jeremy Wagg, executive director for group relations and marketing. 'The discussions were going on with John before he went.'
Seven of the 16 directors on the Unity Trust board were serving union general secretaries and unions represent 73 per cent of its shareholder base. But that is what you would expect from a bank set up by unions for unions, says Wagg. He adds that the Financial Services Authority have no problems with the arrangements, a claim confirmed by the FSA.
Banks like Unity and Co-op, with a different culture to their high street competitors, are understandably favoured by unions because they give them more understanding and flexibility, qualities much needed by unions.
The 680,000-strong GMB hit its £8.2m lending limit because the cost of recruiting was outstripping its income. Many unions face similar financial problems.
Trade union membership declined from 13 million in 1979 to around 7 million in 1997, when it bottomed out. Unions have been determined to use Labour's spell in power to increase membership, but it has come at a cost.
Wagg says: 'With ageing members and a high rate of churn, unions are constantly having to recruit new members. It is important that they are growing organisations, but that is expensive. Some unions are running deficits to do that.'
Figures from the Certification Office, which holds union annual returns, show that in 1997 unions reported an aggregate surplus of £42m on £724m of total income. In 2001-02, the latest available figures, the numbers were £13m on £825m of income - more money is coming in, but more has to be spent.
Wagg says most unions are financially strong because of the assets they control. In the end, the GMB agreed to sell £1m of shares, but it has a portfolio worth £70m. The values may have been knocked by the stock market slump: in 1998, investments generated income of £47m; in 2001-02 it was £39m. But, Wagg says, 'most unions are well funded, so we are able to do this'.
Wagg says that although there are no unions facing imminent problems like the GMB, there are several that are having to fund activities through overdrafts. Often this comes about by a one-off event - a large legal bill or a large industrial action campaign - compounding the costs of running recruitment operations.
At present the GMB may be the worst-placed. According to its annual return its deficit last year ran to £5.1m, slightly down on 1997, and members had fallen slightly too. But it is by no means the only big player to be facing these problems .
Among the remaining 'big four', the Transport and General Workers Union (T&G) and engineering and professional combine Amicus (AEEU and MSF) are in surplus.
But public service union Unison (whose general secretary, Dave Prentis, is Unity's president) recorded a £2.9m deficit last year, compared with a £628,000 surplus in 1997. Members were also down from 1.3 million to 1.28 million.
Union spokesperson Jane Robinson says the numbers are picking up again. 'There is no question at all that in general the business of the union is to recruit more people.'
This is where major expenditure falls. More than half of costs are administrative, supporting the 1,100 full-time officials. Robinson says this is no wonder as Unison has to replace 120,000 people a year; a churn factor of around 10 per cent.
For others, such as GMB, the figure is even higher. There are specific problems, such as last year's local authority strike and £6.7m spending on IT, but Unison funds its deficit from cash reserves, not with an overdraft.
Other high-profile unions are running deficits, too. For the Communication Workers Union, whose members tend to work for a handful of large employers such as Royal Mail or BT, the costs it is facing come from the major cost- cutting being carried out by these businesses.
The CWU ran a £1.6m deficit last year - and a £1m overdraft at Unity Trust - which senior deputy general secretary Tony Kearns (also a Unity board member) says he hopes to wipe out this year with a £3m cost-cutting drive.
On top of recruitment expenses, revenues are seriously threatened because of major job losses at Royal Mail (up to 20,000 this year) and BT (up to 10,000). His administrative cuts leave the CWU only some £900,000 in surplus.
Kearns says things remain precarious. 'If [either Royal Mail or BT] say they are going to get rid of another 10,000 [jobs], that is a major problem for us.'
The CWU is trying to diversify its membership in part to deal with these problems.
To some extent the problems faced by many unions are simply the cost of growth. Others, such as the T&G have sorted out their finances, but are now boosting the amount they put into recruiting. With friendly banks like Unity Trust on their side, they will hope to avoid the problems facing the GMB. But they cannot guarantee they won't get a phone call from Mr Sim.

Tap into China's changing trade flows By: Published on: January, 2013 China will dominate world trade by 2030. But its relationships are changing. Anand Pande, global head of trade product management and head of transaction services product for Asia Pacific at RBS, examines the developing landscape and the implications for transaction banking and multinational companies. Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus Anand Pande, global head of trade product management All the economic and trade flow forecasts say the same thing: the balance of power in the global economy is shifting from West to East. Asia is the key growth engine for world trade and China is its strongest performer. The regions strength and influence is such that it is expected to form 15 out of the top 20 trade partnerships internationally by 2030. This is up from seven in 2009 and replacing the US as the worlds biggest trading partner according to figures from the PwC Future of World Trade Report 2011. World Trade Organisation (WTO) data reveals that exports from Asia in 2011 accounted for 31 per cent of global exports worth USD5.55 trillion, up from USD3.3 trillion in 2006. The region is closing in rapidly on Europe, which had 37 per cent, or USD6.6 trillion last year. These trends are likely to continue as the fallout from the financial crisis continues. With the US still trying to emerge from the doldrums and Europe struggling to resolve problems in the eurozone, the G3 economies (USA, Europe and Japan) have lost their dominance in world merchandise exports. China and other emerging market economies are stepping up to take over the leading role. Emerging markets push past G3 economies Strength in the East and malaise in the West mean that trade patterns are changing. Asian and other emerging economies have turned to their own domestic markets and each other to generate stable and continued growth. Intra-regional growth accounted for 55 per cent of trade flows within Asia in 2010. Although some of the trade represents items such as components that are used in a final product eventually exported out of Asia, intra-regional flows are still growing. The same is true for trade with other emerging markets. The Chimes corridor (China, India and the Middle East), the Silk Road to Asia with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and business with Latin America, Africa and Russia should see exceptional growth in trade flows. McKinsey & Co estimate the value of trade flows between China and GGC countries could reach USD350-500 billion by 2020. Russian and Chinese sources put volumes at USD200 billion by 2020 between China and Russia; and USD400 billion over the next five years between China and Latin America. China is the lead driver and is providing the direction for the future. Areas where the region is already playing several lead roles in global trade include major infrastructure development projects in the Middle East, sparking increased bilateral trade flows. In part, this is to support a huge Middle Eastern investment in extensive infrastructure projects. For example, the United Arab Emirates has recently invested USD11 billion to build a 930-mile railway line between its primary ports of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Commodities and infrastructure projects There are also changes in what is being exported and imported as economies develop. China's massive investment in infrastructure has seen the country move from being a net exporter of commodities to being a net importer. This has had a knock-on impact across the world. Commodity-rich countries, such as Australia and Indonesia, are booming. Oil and gas dominate GCC exports to China. At one point during the crisis, China was a bigger buyer of crude oil from Saudi Arabia than the US. Its robust demand for commodities has also affected its neighbours. These include Japan and South Korea. They have been forced to look outside Asia to meet their own commodity needs which were originally serviced by China. Commodities and infrastructure development projects are likely to remain key drivers of global trade. Annual investment in infrastructure up to 2030 is expected to account for 3.5 per cent of the worlds GDP output. Adding this together, total cumulative investment in infrastructure up to 2030 is expected to be USD71 trillion. The Commodity Price Index over the last ten years has increased by over 200 per cent. Chinese currency internationalisation Another strong trend is the internationalisation of the renminbi (RMB). According to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, RMB-denominated trade flows have been growing from 2 per cent to over 10 per cent of the USD3 trillion China trade flows in two years. The RMB has also started making an impact on traditional trade finance. According to SWIFT, the RMB is now the third biggest currency in global issuance of letters of credit by value (LCs), after the US dollar and the euro. Faltering global trade growth These trends are emerging against a backdrop of continued economic uncertainty that seems to be a permanent fixture for the foreseeable future. The upticks and downturns have impacted the growth of global trade. According to the WTO, global trade grew by only five per cent in 2011, a sharp fall from the 13.8 per cent growth rate achieved in 2010. Further projections are not rosy. Global trade growth is expected to drop another gear to 3.7 per cent in 2012. This will be well below the annual average of 5.4 per cent for the last 20 years. As a result, China and its trade within Asia and with other emerging markets represent one of the few pockets of growth that corporates can investigate. Against this shifting landscape, corporates need to review their strategies for their treasury function to stay ahead of the game.

The Chicago Creative Musicians' Collective
1. As we find ourselves in the dawn of the 21st Century, most of us can recall the beginning of the end to the traditional corporate music industry. Say what you will about Napster stealing money from musicians in the late 90's, no one can deny its role in striking the first blow at the bloated music industry. No other part of corporate America has seen steady loss in profit like the music industry has, and its demise continues to this day. So because the 4 major record labels (note them: EMI, Sony BMG, Universal Music Group, and Warner Brothers Music Group) began cowardly putting less money into developing artists and more money into over-produced "easy-sell" pop music, we now find ourselves amidst the growing specter of counter-corporate independent music and Indie record labels.
So for many artists, the times we live in are seen with a combination of anxiety, ingenuity, and excitement. The pathway to a successful career as a professional musician has become increasingly less clear and the gap between the independent artist and the celebrity pop star has grown exponentially wider. But at the same time, many see this period with optimism and excitement. As in the wake of any toppled governing body we find ourselves in the process of deciding for ourselves what kind of system would best suit the future of OUR industry. Indeed, this grassroots indie music world has made its presence known: Indie music festivals like Pitchfork and SXSW have grown substantially in the past few years. This year's Grammys nominated more Indie label artists than ever before. And it seems like every week we find more outlets for the independent musician to expose and distribute his music via the Internet.
But why, then, is so often the artist who is capable of writing, producing, recording, and distributing his own music still only vaguely heard? In this increasingly saturated pool of songsmiths and their songs, what does it really take to be recognized? The truth is, most independent artists have not rid themselves of their 20th Century dreams of riches and fame. Most independent artists secretly, or blatantly, still have hopes of being signed to a major record label and "making it." Just like in most aspects of our American society, the corporate world and what it has historically promised to offer us, is still engrained in our psyche. And it's going to take a lot more than file-sharing to get it out.
So what does this mean? It means that the independent musicians who can afford to are spending gobs of money on managers, booking agents, publicists, promo pics, the hippest websites, and the best studios and biggest name producers money can buy. Those who can afford to have replaced the traditional record industry with their own pocketbooks. And much like the rest of the capital-driven American marketplace, personally coming from a place of wealth or finding wealthy sponsorship almost guarantees placing you ahead of your peers in the rat race to fame.
2. So where does that leave the rest of our community? Where does that leave the full-time professional musician who takes whatever gig he can get in order to pay the bills? How does he afford to record his solo project? Where does that leave the singer-songwriter who works all day at Starbucks so she can pay off her student loans, while also booking her band's first tour? How do they compete with someone who has had it all taken care of for them?
What we have to do is acknowledge, on a rudimentary level, what OUR industry is actually composed of, independent from what we as musicians imagine we'd like it to be. (I'm going to use Chicago as an example because we have to first think on a local level, and that's the musical community I am currently proud to say I'm a part of.) First, we become inspired by some mystical force to create a musical sound, then actualize that sound into music at home, hire musicians or put a band together to play it, record the music in our basements or if we can afford to, record it in a pro studio, then book shows at local venues to perform/promote it. These venues will then hopefully pay the band if the owner/promoter is feeling generous. (We will hopefully have cds or merchandise to sell at these venues in order to make a couple extra bucks.) Then we will go home and continue to promote ourselves so that the next show will be even better. Maybe along the line we will open for somebody "established" and get some good press, and then with enough buzz we will book a small regional tour for ourselves, but probably end up losing money in the process. We'll continue to do this until we either "make it," join another band that's doing the same thing, or get burned out.
Living and working in a major American city like Chicago, where there are thousands of bands, hundreds of venues, and dozens of genres, we've come to accept this as our lifestyle. We're willing to take inane day jobs, play uninspired jobbing gigs for money, and bow to disrespectfully ungrateful club owners, all for the chance to continue to do what we love and to feed our fervent drive to allow the world to hear it. Nowhere in the industry just described is there a feeling of being protected. We all are aware of musicians' unions but are also aware that they hold no water in 90% of the venues we perform in, especially in regards to original music.
What I propose is our own musician collective here in Chicago. I acknowledge that there have been, and still are, working musician collectives in the city but I believe they can be more than what they are. I propose a collective of bands, or solo musicians, that not only supports and promotes each other, but can also be used as a form of protection for the artists involved. For all of the diverse talent and creativity this city has to offer we should be promoting fraternity over competition, collaboration over self-glorification. We should be looking past traditional North/South/West boundaries to become one self-sufficient scene. Chicago has the kind of progressive history and diligence to foster these ideas. (Look up anything on the South Side's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, AACM, for proof.)
The collective would work as a single unit to book shows, placing lesser known acts with better known acts but not favoring one over the other. It would be the responsibility of all the members of the collective to help promote the shows, whether or not they are on the bill. The collective would actively search out the venues that are most artist-friendly and shy away from/boycott ones that are known for exploiting musicians. These are very basic artist demands:
•Venues should provide a guaranteed pay for the show, in correspondence with the amount of time and the number of performers involved.
•Venue owners and promoters should be held accountable for PROMOTING the shows that they book, whether via Internet, traditional media sources, or street promotion.
•Artists should expect to be treated with dignity and respect by all members of the establishment, as well as other members of the collective.
•In return the collective would uphold a level of respect and professionalism in regard to the venue in which they are performing. A venue should never get anything less than what they pay for. Performers involved should always be expected to perform to their best ability. There will be a reputation to uphold.
If the collective cannot find venues that will uphold to these standards, it will create its own alternative ones: loft spaces, community centers, public parks, schools. Wherever there is a space to put on a great show and allow people to have a good time, the people will come. (a la Kool Herc and the origins of hip hop in the streets of the Bronx; a la the origins of dancehall culture in the countryside of Jamaica). We should never separate ourselves from the community we are a part of. Bars and clubs will sell their beer no matter if we are there to play or not. Our public is not coming to shows to buy liquor. They are coming to be uplifted. WE ARE DOING CLUBS A FAVOR buy playing for free, not the other way around. For an entire band of 5 trained musicians to be paid less than what 1 bartender makes in tips is shameful. For a large-scale downtown venue (not to be named) to pay the opening local band $200 while the headliner makes $30,000 is theft (this is a true story).
Ideally, these venues will become a part of the collective themselves. As with its public, the relationship with performance venues should be symbiotic, never exploitive. This will be difficult at first. Certain bridges will have to be burned. Artists will have to be willing to say no to gigs. But at the same time, the collective would not be in a position to promote any negativity toward any venue, band, or individual. Its goal will be to promote its members and the Chicago independent music scene in general. Venues which support artists will be praised and promoted along with the collective's own doings. Venues that do not would simply not be mentioned.
The collective will require patience and diligence from its members. It will require dedication to the cause and to the belief that what the collective is doing is for the betterment of its members and for the betterment of its community and society as a whole. And in maybe the hardest task, the collective will indirectly require each member to sacrifice a part of his/her predetermined ambition towards material success. Leave the celebrity to New York and LA. This is Chicago.
Bottom line, we owe this to ourselves. This life that we've chosen, or this life that has chosen us, does not have to be as arduous or as lonely as we've been brought up to believe. We are not disposable commodities. We musicians, along with all other fine and performing artists, are the architects and ambassadors of our American culture. The US government may not acknowledge this yet (YET), but the city of Chicago sure can. With the support of each other, and of the community itself, we will demonstrate to the world what strength can be mustered by a collection of creative minds.
Somewhere between a soul pop concert, South Side jazz club, slam poetry reading, and punk rock dive bar, lives the music of Cole DeGenova...As pianist, vocalist, and songwriter Cole DeGenova has spent most of his life crafting his eclectic artistic voice. Born in Chicago and growing up in a family of musicians and artists, DeGenova began playing piano at age four and spent his childhood studying classical piano, the jazz and blues of his hometown, and the pop music of The Beatles and Stevie Wonder. By age 15 he was playing professionally in jazz and blues clubs on Chicago's South Side. His prodigious talents led him to study at Berklee College of Music in 2005 where he trained further with jazz piano great Danilo Perez.
After forming his funky alternative soul group Cole DeGenova & The Peoples Republic with fellow Berklee students, they released their first album JUST PEOPLE AGAIN in 2009. Three years later, and after thousands of miles of road covered, he released his second album, ANOTHER COUNTRY, summer of 2012; an inspired culmination of lessons learned on the road, soulful melodies, and the infectious grooves of his band.
A troubadour in the truest sense, Cole has performed across the US, Europe, and South America. He has worked with the likes of Lupe Fiasco, Gallant, Brett Dennen, Chance the Rapper, Naughty Professor James Carter, Meshell N'Degeocello, Paula Cole, producer Eddie Kramer, Hey Champ, Matthew Santos, The Revivalists, as well as Chicago funk group The Heard and experimental jazz trio Hanging Hearts. He was also featured on the Latin Grammy winning album "Fantastico" by Lucky Diaz. Now based in Chicago and Los Angeles, he is also an in-demand studio keyboard player. His new collection of music THE RADIO HERO MIXTAPE was released spring 2015.
Along with performing, Cole is also a co-founder and
organizer for the Chicago based artist collective The Gala.
His song "Hollywood Girl" was also chosen as a Finalist in
the 2015 American Songwriting Awards.

I Told You So
Is there any feeling better than proving people wrong? Especially in the face of major adversity or doubt, coming out victorious is both vindicating and thrilling, and whether your achievement is large or small, it feels great.
Unfortunately for us, it isn't easy to always make the right choices or look beyond current predicaments to decide what's best for the future.
It's truly a gift to be able to logically tackle a situation with forethought, especially when your opinion is unpopular or sounds wrong in the present. If you choose wisely and stick to your guns, however, you'll always be remembered for it.
Speaking of, who are some of history's greats that turned out to be very right even though so many people thought they were wrong? These stories of perseverance and personal victory are wildly inspiring and will remind you to always follow your gut!
These people deserve an award for this stuff!

recaulking: cleaning out old caulk questions
Hey there folks,
I'm going to be recaulking around windows/doors before the rains come and I had some questions. I know to clean out old caulk prior to applying new caulk but had some specific situations I'd love to get some advise on. Most of my recaulking work will be joints between wood trim boards around doors/windows and stucco. I'm planning on using polyurethane caulk to reseal. I'm not planning on repainting the entire house at this time.
1 - Widespread caulk: Many of the joints were caulked and smoothed so that the caulk covered the seam, but also covered the 3/4" edge of the trim board and 1/2" - 3/4" up the stucco. Then everything was painted with elastomeric paint. in many places the caulk has cracked along the seam and is still stuck to the stucco and trim board. Should I try to get rid of all of this caulk, or is there a way I can just dig out the seam and still have a good bond?
2 - Hairline crack: On one joint (between wooden window trim and stucco siding) the current caulk looks to be in good shape except a 2" hairline crack in the middle of a 7' seam. Is there any way to seal this hairline without digging out the entire 7' and recaulking?
Thanks for any thoughts or advice
Ya, it's always a good idea if you can to get the old caulk out of there. You will be surprised how easily the stuff will come out once you get going.
I'd first make sure that the hairline crack is in fact a crack and not just a surface imperfection. Caulks will sometimes develop an alligator skin pattern on the surface while the sealant below is still in good condition.
One more question
Thanks for the help folks...
One last question. As I've begin digging out the old caulk I'm left with raw stucco and wood at the joint to be sealed. Should I prime the stucco and wood first then caulk, or should I caulk the raw surfaces and then prime over the top?
another last question
I may end up pulling the trim boards off around the windows to see if I can do any better job of sealing the actual window installation. Currently the trim boards are just nailed and have warped quite a bit (a lot of the reason the caulking has cracked).
I was thinking of replacing the trim boards and screwing them down. Can I just screw them to the stucco w/ concrete screws, or do I have to find studs?
Thanks again for all the help!!!

Does the recovery RX device assist in recovery for hairline lowering surgery?
I read somewhere that the device can prevent post surgical hairloss and make the scar better

What is this you are describing? I do a lot of hairline lowering surgery and am always looking to improve efficiency and results. Let us know what this is.
