Harvey Girls Changed the West
Article first published in Volume 31, 2013/2014. See PDF version of article printed in Volume 32.
By Melody C. Whitener Smith
Fred Harvey was the founder of a chain of restaurants and hotels that stretched across the American West. Researchers disagree about when Frederick Henry Harvey, born in London in 1835, came to the U.S. Some say it was 1850 when he was 15, but Stephen Fried, author of Appetite for America: How Visionary Businessman Fred Harvey Build a Railroad Hospitality Empire That Civilized the Wild West, wrote that a London census listed Harvey as living with his aunt in 1851. Fried said that Harvey landed in America at age17 with just two British pounds in his pocket. Harvey became an American citizen in 1858 and married a year later.
Southwest historian Lesley Poling-Kempes in her book The Harvey Girls: Women Who Opened the West wrote that while in New York, Harvey observed how restaurants were run. His first job in the U. S. was as a dishwasher at Smith and McNell's, a restaurant that prided itself in using fresh ingredients to produce excellent food for a fair price. He would work himself up the ladder at this restaurant and use this education as the base of his future in food service.

Fried made the point that the concept of a full-service restaurant in the U.S. was only about 15 years old when Harvey came to New York, so he literally learned the business as it developed. After working in the food business for several years, Harvey traveled to New Orleans and then St. Louis, where, with a partner, he opened his first restaurant — when he was still only in his early 20s. When his partner absconded with the little money the two men had and after a bout with typhoid, Harvey began looking for other opportunities.
In 1862, Harvey found a job as a mail clerk on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad. He remained when it was sold to the Burlington Railroad and became its western freight agent, which kept him away from his home, Leavenworth, Kan., most of the time.
Harvey discovered firsthand how hard it was to find a good meal while traveling by rail; in fact, having a meal while traveling often was a distressing and even dangerous act. George H. Foster and Peter C. Weiglin wrote in The Harvey House Cookbook: Memories of Dining along the Santa Fe Railroad that meals at railroad stops were undercooked, some food was unidentifiable and passengers often suffered indigestion because they were forced to eat quickly. Meals had to be paid for in advance, they were overpriced and they often were not eaten because of lack of time. Those leftover meals often were then sold to other passengers!
As the railroad expanded across the country, changes had to be made in transporting food and producing a high quality meal at train stops. Foster and Weiglin wrote that from his knowledge of both the railroad and restaurants, Fred Harvey was able to see an opportunity and revolutionize the way food was handled, prepared and served. With a unique idea of offering fine dining to rail passengers at announced stops, he first approached his employer, but the Burlington Railroad turned him down.
Harvey House restaurants and hotels were born when Fred Harvey approached Santa Fe Railroad executives with his idea of making dining a more pleasurable and sanitary experience for both the traveler and local diners. With no formal contract, but simply a handshake, he had a deal, wrote Poling-Kempes.
In 1876, he opened his first dining room in Topeka, Kan., with many more to come further west. At one time, a Harvey House lunch counter and/or dining room was located about every 100 miles on the Santa Fe routes. Fred Harvey and his servers, called the Harvey Girls, changed the West by revolutionizing how food was served while maintaining classy places to eat, including in El Paso.
The establishment of female waitresses in Harvey Houses came about because the male staff Fred Harvey first hired often got drunk and became enmeshed in brawls, wrote Juddi Morris, author of The Harvey Girls: The Women Who Civilized the West. Fred Harvey's friend and new manager of his Raton, N. M. restaurant, Tom Gable, gave him the idea of hiring women as waitresses not only to tame the cowboys and relieve racial animosities (many waiters were African-American), but also to populate the West with more women, according to Foster and Weiglin. Thus, the first Harvey Girls were hired in Raton. Harvey could not hire just any woman, however; his standards would be set high.
Harvey ran an ad in newspapers on the East Coast and in the Midwest and waited for responses. The ad in the newspaper read, "WANTED Young women, 18 to 30 years of age, of good moral character, attractive and intelligent, as waitresses in Harvey House Eating Houses." Poling-Kempes said that women who answered the ads were "promised their status as ladies would be protected by their employer." These women came out West to seek greater economic opportunities, to look for a spouse, to alleviate boredom and to seek adventure, wrote Morris.
Foster and Weiglin noted that being a Harvey Girl was considered a more prominent position than a waitress. Poling-Kempes wrote that in the last quarter of the 19th century, waitressing was seen below nursing and teaching when it came to jobs for women, and Harvey was able to change how waitressing was viewed much as he changed railroad dining.
So many young women and girls decided to join the Harvey Girls in the West because "most likely [they] had never traveled more than 20 miles from home, and had met few strangers of either sex in [their] entire life," wrote Nancy Johnson, a writer for the Deming, [N. M.] Headlight. Johnson pointed out that "girls who had finished their schooling were expected to remain at home until marriage ... [and] there was a dark prejudice … against single working women." Many had to "overcome their parents' disapproval to become Harvey Girls," wrote Morris. Before the Harvey Girls, the women in the East earned money through "sewing, raising chickens and selling eggs … [or] butter," said Johnson.
Foster and Weiglin noted that in the late 19th century, Fred Harvey convinced well over 5,000 women to move west, and they ultimately helped change the area. Morris wrote that those who came soon learned to love the West even though they missed the green and the trees of the East. But when they had a chance to go home, they found those same trees made them feel boxed in. Tens of thousands of young women would move west during the first half of the 20th century to become Harvey Girls.
Foster and Weiglin wrote that only those young women who passed an extensive background check into their private lives were allowed into the training program. Because of the racial climate of the country at the time, mostly whites were hired for many years, according to Morris. However, as times changed, so did the color of Harvey House personnel, as a 1940s era photo of staff in El Paso shows. Poling-Kempes wrote that local women, including Hispanics and Native Americans, were hired in New Mexico, Arizona and El Paso, especially during World War II. Some Harvey Girls were also married with families as many women worked in war-related occupations.
Most training occurred in Harvey Houses in Kansas, especially the one in Topeka. The women worked full time for 30 days without pay as they learned the "Harvey Way." Upon completion of training, the girls were usually sent to small houses in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, where tips were poor and social life scarce. After a year in such a position, a Harvey Girl could request a transfer.
Training to be a Harvey Girl was akin to serving in the military. Fried wrote that the girls were put "through a kind of culinary boot camp," and some claimed "training was more difficult than army boot camp," according to Morris. If they could not handle the stress of the training, they were "discharged" to go home. One Harvey Girl interviewed by Morris claimed, "I always felt that training as a Harvey Girl was as important as my college education. I learned about getting along with people, about hard work and carrying my share of the load."
Morris said the new employees got a feel for what it would be like to be a Harvey Girl when they placed their own food order with the train conductor in advance of their arrival in Chicago or Kansas City, the two employment centers of the Harvey empire. Upon arrival, the first part of their meal was already on the table, and they were served by the current Harvey Girls on staff.
Lenore Dils, special correspondent for the El Paso Times, wrote that because of the prestige of the job, many girls who weren't trained as Harvey Girls tried to pass off fraudulent waitressing credentials. But it was apparent within minutes that they had not served at a Harvey House because they didn't know serving techniques, such as "serve from the right, take away from the left."
Fried noted that if the girls made it through their contracts, they were awarded a service badge worn on the uniform to show the number of years of service. The girls received room and board, so they had few bills and could pocket the extra money or send it home to their family. The pay in the 1870s consisted of $17.50 per month (plus tips), room and board and travel passes.
For decades, many Harvey Girls lived two to a room above the restaurant, dormitory style. They had a house mother who enforced rules, which included no men in the dorms, according to Poling-Kempes. They were expected to adhere to a strict code of conduct (including no "expectorating" on the floors of their room!) and curfew was 10 p.m., regardless of their age. Over the decades, these rules relaxed a little, and some Harvey Girls lived out in the community.

A Harvey Girl worked "six and seven day weeks, usually twelve hour days," according to Poling-Kempes. Sheila Wood Foard wrote that Harvey's dress code included "long-sleeved black dresses hemmed exactly eight inches off the floor and covered by a starched white pinafore," along with black shoes, black opaque stockings and hairnets. Foster and Weiglin noted that this uniform was meant to de-emphasize a girl's feminine features. As the years passed, this uniform changed some, and in Santa Fe at the La Fonda Hotel, the Harvey Girls wore brightly colored Mexican blouses and long skirts.
Harvey Girl contracts were anywhere from six to nine to 12 months long. Morris wrote that under their contract, young women consented to learn the "Harvey Way" of working and behaving. They "agreed to follow all instructions, obey employee rules, go wherever [they were] assigned to work, and not to marry during the term of the contract." After the contract was up, they could take a break to go home by train anywhere the Santa Fe traveled, after which they could commence working again. If they happened to marry during the terms of their contract, they would lose half their pay and would not receive the free pass home on the train.
The rules were considered "necessary guidelines that assured the public that these single women, hundreds of miles from home, were upstanding and respectable citizens," according to Poling-Kempes. Even their uniforms had to be spotless: if a girl got just the slightest stain on her uniform, she was expected to change, since each girl had several uniforms. Harvey laundered the uniforms for the girls but they were responsible for the ironing and starching.
Harvey Girls could wear no jewelry or makeup and could not chew gum. Poling-Kempes told the story that "management would take a damp cloth and run it over a girl's face to make sure she had absolutely no makeup on." Morris said if a girl was caught chewing gum on the job, more than likely she would be "fired on the spot."
Harvey Girls were expected to perform their job to Fred Harvey's high expectations. He was meticulous about the appearance and management of his restaurants. He would sometimes inspect the premises with the fabled "white glove." Often the train staff would telegraph ahead that the boss was to be expected. One example of his expectations concerned the water served to customers. Water pitchers had to contain ice to chill water for diners. Morris said Harvey was known to dump a pitcher on the floor if it was not up to his expectation. If a Harvey Girl did her job, he was a good boss and he would compliment her. Harvey set his standards high, and those who didn't meet his expectations were let go.
Each Harvey House restaurant usually employed about 30 girls. Between customers they were to polish silver, fold cloth napkins and prepare for future meals and customers. They were not to be seen sitting down or slacking on the job. If a girl left her work unfinished or it was not up to standards, she would be retrieved from her quarters to complete her job to perfection, dressed in her uniform, according to Poling-Kempes. An ordinary waitress did not have the "skill to serve sixteen people in twenty-five minutes" as the Harvey Girls could, wrote Foster and Weiglin.
A person eating at a Harvey House had to meet some expectations as well. For example, in an Arizona Highways Magazine article, Charles Herbert said all male customers had to wear coats in order to eat in the dining room. If a man did not have one, he would be loaned one. However, no such clothing requirements existed at the more informal lunch counters. All customers were treated with respect, even the rude ones, according to Marie Evans, writing for the Deming Highlight.
Modern diners would have loved the coffee at Harvey Houses. Dils tells us whether a traveler was in El Paso or in another Harvey House, "a cup of coffee … was always the same," which was so because the water at each restaurant was analyzed and an exact brewing formula was determined so that quality could be maintained. If water did not meet Harvey standards, it was brought in by train.
Harvey Girls took beverage orders orally and arranged cups in a type of code:
Coffee ‒ Cup upright in the saucer
Hot Tea ‒ Cup flipped upside down in saucer
Iced Tea ‒ Cup flipped upside down, leaned against the right side of saucer
Milk ‒ Cup flipped upside down, set an inch apart from right side of saucer
Of course, if diners changed the position of the cup after the waitress left, they might be drinking milk instead of iced tea!
According to a food service brochure obtained from Patricia Kiddney of the El Paso Harvey Girls Association, orange juice had to be freshly squeezed as it was ordered, and coffee was emptied every two hours and a fresh pot made. Bread was baked daily and pies cut only into fourths. No six to eight servings from a pie here!

Fresh food was shipped from various areas of the country via refrigerated cars, and the cost of shipping was not as important as the quality of the food. Thus, food like fresh fish, oysters, and the finest beef and freshest vegetables were served in every Harvey House. Harvey had his own ranch producing beef and owned several dairies along the route from Chicago to Los Angeles, the source of milk, cream and ice cream served in his restaurants and dining cars. While a train was miles away from a station, a brakeman took orders from passengers and wired them to the restaurant. Notified by the sound of a gong, servers had the first course ready as passengers walked in.
Sue Tester of the Santa Fe New Mexican said that most of the stops lasted only about 20 to 30 minutes, but the Harvey Girls made the meal seem luxurious and no passenger was rushed. The food was not only classy and delicious, but affordable to all classes of riders. Evans stated that prices for dinner in 1914 ranged from $1 to $1.25 in the Deming-El Paso region. She also said that entrees cost as little as 75 cents for a gourmet dish and the menus were prepared daily. Dils wrote that El Paso Harvey tables were set with imported fine linens and silverware, just as they were at all the other Harvey Houses.
Menus included such things as oysters, sirloin steak, broiled sole or salmon, ham, lamb, roasted capon and turkey, veal, sweetbreads, and even plover (a small wading bird) on toast. Potatoes were served mashed, french fried, au gratin, Lyonnaise and other ways; other vegetables might include sweet potatoes, asparagus, beets, artichokes, peas and spinach.
Lighter fare such as chicken salad, lobster salad, coleslaw and goose liver sandwiches were served, as were desserts such as fruit pies, cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, fresh fruit and berries and ice cream. Diners could also enjoy Edam and Roquefort cheeses at the end of a meal. Tenderloin of trout with potatoes and toast for breakfast? Sure! In the 1890s, a patron might enjoy a huge breakfast of cereal or fruit, steak, eggs, and potatoes, and hotcakes with butter and syrup, along with pie and coffee — all for 50 cents! In later years, Harvey Houses in the Southwest added Mexican favorites such as huevos rancheros and enchiladas, all served by the famous Harvey Girls.
Harvey Girls were respected and admired in the community. Morris wrote that many of the women were part of local women's organizations and clubs. In addition, many Harvey Girls enjoyed getting dressed up to go out. They had nice clothes and others coveted their finery. Morris said Harvey Girls demanded respect from the gentlemen they dated because of the high moral character they were expected to uphold. The girls were "self-assured and poised," and being "treated politely" was expected, according to Ruby Douglas Kuntz, a former Harvey Girl Morris interviewed. Part of that respect was generated by Harvey who wouldn't allow foul language around the girls.
Many of the girls who came from the East married after their contracts were up. There were many more eligible bachelors than single women looking for marriage out West. The standards upheld by the Harvey Girls made them even more attractive candidates.
Although male employees were not permitted to date the staff, Tester said "as many as 20,000 Harvey Girls married prominent ranchers, cowboys, miners, merchants" and railroad employees from engineers to station agents, and attorneys and salesmen, men in almost all walks of life in the West. Of the couples who married, it was rumored that more than "four thousand boys born to these couples were named Fred, or Harvey, or both," according to Foster and Weiglin. A popular MGM musical, starring Judy Garland and Angela Lansbury, was made in 1946 that showed the life of the Harvey Girls.

Prince McKenzie, director of the Railroad and Transportation Museum of El Paso, said in an interview that after working as Harvey Girls, many young women decided to work in predominantly male-dominated jobs in retail shops. They already knew how to work with the public and had learned about finance, economics and grooming from their Harvey training. They fared well when it came time to find other jobs. Many even went into their own business after being Harvey Girls. McKenzie said that their training as Harvey Girls left them "capable of advancing," a type of job security.
After more than a decade of being ill and not knowing what was wrong, Fred Harvey died in 1901 from what was believed to be colon cancer, wrote Fried. Fred Harvey had two sons, Ford and Byron, who ran the business after their father died. Various grandchildren also worked in the business. Fried said that Fred Harvey's will requested that the business be run the same for ten years after his death. No disbursements were to be made to anyone in the family, and his son Ford was to continue to run the business as his father had. The elder Harvey would have been gratified to see that even 50 years after his death, the business was still basically run the way it was when he was alive.
Along with the Santa Fe Railroad as a partner, Fred Harvey and his progenitors ran the "most famous and successful restaurant and hotel chain in America," according to Foster and Weiglin. Of note is that his empire was incorporated simply as "Fred Harvey" without accompanying tags such as Inc., Company, Sons and so on, perpetuating the illusion that he was still at the helm many decades after his death.
The El Paso Harvey House was in existence from March 1906 until 1948. It was located inside the Union Depot Station. The El Paso Harvey House had not only a spacious lunch counter, but it also housed a fine dining room inside the depot. Clarke Garnsey, author of an article in the journal Password, stated that the Harvey House was awarded space inside the Union Depot in September 1905, with the "Harveys assum[ing] responsibility for decorating and furnishing the room." The Harvey House was not ready for dining by the dedication date of the Depot, but it was ready for dancing.

Harriot Howze Jones wrote in Password that the El Paso Harvey House was a great place for a man to take his date. She mentioned that it served "fancy things like raw oysters and artichokes and lobster."
Deen Underwood, treasurer for the local Harvey Girls Association, interviewed former Harvey Girl Lilia Mendez Medina, who is now in her eighties. Underwood said that Medina served as a Harvey Girl in 1944. She had a sister named Bertha Mendez who served as a bus girl in the 1940s. Medina's favorite customers were the Price family of the local dairy because they always left generous tips. She enjoyed working with the other girls but was scared of the matron and the cook, who was meticulous. Mendez Medina also mentioned that she couldn't fraternize with the customers and she always had to look busy. Her favorite dessert was the banana crème pie and she said she was also fond of the shrimp cocktail sauce.
Underwood noted that one thing of particular importance about the El Paso Harvey House is the fact that many of the girls were local. In the 1940s during World War II, trains often would slow down and the girls would hand box lunches through the windows. Traveling railroaders as well as upper class gentlemen ate at the local Harvey House, wrote Ann Carroll in the El Paso Herald-Post.
Pres Derhkoop, educator for the El Paso Harvey Girl's Association, pointed out in an interview with this author that the uniform worn in El Paso was white, unlike the other uniforms throughout the country that were mostly black with a white pinafore. Even more telling is that photos of Harvey Girls in the 1940s show both Hispanic and African-American women working at the local Harvey House. This was a rare occurrence since mostly white women were hired to work in the Harvey Houses. Most exceptions occurred in New Mexico and Arizona.
We do not know a lot about our El Paso Harvey House restaurant, but much is still being discovered. For instance, despite what some researchers have previously written, this author found in her research that the local Harvey House was located on the first floor of the Union Depot and not the second floor. A visit to the present day Union Depot makes it apparent that there was no room on the second floor for a dining room or lunch counter. In addition, there is no way that dancing at the opening of the Union Depot could have taken place on the second floor. The architectural plan shows that the second floor had offices for the railroad. Today, administrative offices exist in the place of the dining room and lunch counter.
The Indian shop and newsstand have been replaced by the Amtrak ticket counter, and the barber shop has been replaced by an office. Fred Harvey, along with architect Mary Colter, who designed the interior of many of his hotels, did much to promote Native American arts and was the first to open shops at many Southwestern train depots, displaying jewelry, rugs, pottery and other crafts by Southwestern tribes.
The El Paso Harvey House closed in 1948 after World War II, one of the contributors to the demise of the Harvey empire. The Depression, the increase in automobile travel and freeways, the rise of airplane travel and the decline of passenger trains were other factors. However, some restaurants and hotels prevailed into the 1960s and beyond. Many El Pasoans would recognize two of the most renowned Harvey establishments still doing business, although not by Fred Harvey: the La Fonda hotel and restaurant in Santa Fe and El Tovar, the gem of several housing choices once run by Harvey inside the south rim of the Grand Canyon, a luxurious hotel where one has to make reservations up to a year or more in advance.
Once upon a time, there were Harvey establishments from northern New Mexico to El Paso, including hotels and/or lunch and dining rooms in Raton, Las Vegas, Lamy, Santa Fe, Wallace, Carlsbad, Clovis, Vaughn, Gallup, Belen, Albuquerque, San Marcial, Rincon, Deming and El Paso.
It was difficult to find information on local Harvey Girls. Those still living are often not available to be interviewed, which was the case for Lilia Mendez Medina. However, knowing that the "Harvey Way" prevailed at every one of Fred Harvey's establishments provides us knowledge of the El Paso restaurant as well. The Harvey Girl Association of El Paso is an organization that meets monthly to promote and preserve the history of the Harvey Girls locally. Their meetings are held the second Monday of the month from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Railroad and Transportation Museum of El Paso. Those interested may contact the association for more information at firstname.lastname@example.com or 915-731-6822.

Oak Park Public Works Building Striving for LEED Silver
There are always unexpected challenges when designing buildings. Oftentimes the
wants and needs of the owner change, and one project transforms into another
that is completely different, full of its own new challenges. In the case of the
Village of Oak Park Public Works building, plans changed overnight due to a
devastating fire that destroyed the existing facility. The project changed from
the renovation of and addition to the existing buildings to starting fresh by
designing one large facility that would encompass all the needs of Oak Park,
with an appearance that fit in the historic community. Holabird & Root was ready

Cost Trends
Construction Cost Trends for 2008
Housing continues its slide. The strong performances by the public works and
commercial building industries are continuing but now, in the face of a definite
credit crunch, their ability to withstand the massive downturn in housing
(almost 30%) remains to be seen. Lodging, office and educational construction
spending have been growing at a brisk clip, up from 15 to 45%, but now with the
credit markets in crisis, office and lodging may be the next casualties.

achievement, culture, education, success, wealth, and overall quality of life?
sort by best latest
There are many ways that your family place can help shape you into the person that you are today! For example if you were an only child you are the only person who your parents were looking out for and caring for, so you are more likely used to being the center of attention. Where as if you are one of many children, then you know what it is like to wait in line for something or another. You are more likely to be able to adapt to changes more often than not as larger families are used to adapting more things.
A few more things that help mold you and give you more character might also include what type of ethnicity your family was. The larger more family oriented Italian, Greek or even Mexican nationalities, might have taught you that being surrounded by family will show how to make a holiday a real holiday, or other smaller more intimate family gatherings might show you that is what holidays should be like.
If you are one of many in a family then you know what it is to achieve a goal and you know what it is to be out shined or under appreciated. Where as a single child has the sole attention of your parents so they might always feel like a star and never know what it is like to be out shined or not feel as important.
If you come from a small family you parents might be more likely to help to afford college and get into a better college, and a larger family might not be able to afford to send all the children to college, so they might not be able to get as educated.
These are just a few examples of what your place in a family might play on you later in life.

Great answer. In large families, not every child is going to be educated; it is oftentimes the younger children in large families who have access to tertiary levels of education. However, in small families, all the children will be WELL EDUCATED.
Yes thanks gmwilliams. It is true in most cases. Thanks for asking it and sharing:)
Indeed although many people refuse to admit this. In large families, older children are THE LEAST educated. That is why SMALL families are better for children OVERALL. In such families, children can reach their UTMOST human potential.

Assessment of reasoning strategies used by undergraduate chemistry students when interpreting experimental observations
Student inability to relate abstract chemical concepts to their current knowledge and previous experience results in confusion, a shallow understanding of threshold concepts, and development of heuristics that constrain their understanding. To help students develop effective reasoning strategies, we must first understand the way they reason. In this study, we assess student reasoning using the Chemical Thinking Learning Progression (CTLP) and chemistry triplet in the context of successful and unsuccessful students. We found that unsuccessful students, in contrast to successful students, relied on heuristics and were unable to facilitate connections between the prompt and molecular mechanisms or to their outside knowledge. There was also a student who was initially unsuccessful, but became successful after making the connections required for this prompt, which demonstrates that with proper scaffolding and prompting, students can be led make connections which will lead to the use of more effective reasoning.

Technological Extinctions of Industrial Firms: An Inquiry into Their Nature and Causes
After a buildup in the number of firms, new industries commonly experience a "shakeout" in which the number of firms declines sharply. Three theoretical perspectives on how technological change contributes to industry shakeouts are analyzed. The theories are used to synthesize predictions concerning technological change and industry evolution. The predictions inform an analysis of four US industries that experienced sharp shakeouts: automobiles, tires, televisions and penicillin. Using data on firm participation and innovation from the commercial inception of the four products through their formative eras, we uncover regularities in how the products evolved. The regularities suggest that shakeouts are not triggered by particular technological innovations nor by dominant designs, but by an evolutionary process in which technological innovation contributes to a mounting dominance by some early-entering firms.

1. Increased costs.E.g. Traveling abroad to obtain orders; High management fees, shipping charges, agent's fees, etc.,
2. Understanding and following import laws and regulations, which vary and change rapidly and dramatically in some cultures.3. Transportation policy.Shipping rules and regulations complicated
4. Currency. The earlier advantage of a strong currency in exchange for a weak dollar might, in alternative circumstances, prove detrimental to the exporter.5. Collecting long-standing payments and debts can prove difficult.
1. Increased market size and brand (global brand) awareness2. Currency benefits -Changes in exchange rates can prove advantageous when selling to a customer whose currency is stronger than your own.3. Protection against a downturn in the domestic market.
4. Protection in the event of world recession - it is unlikely that all countries will be equally affected by an economic downturn. 5. Economies of scale from manufacturing in larger batches.
Manufacturers, producers, assemblers and processors who export their own goods.
Many fail. For example, story of an insurance salesman from South Dakota who abandoned his insurance business for the pot of gold. He incorporated himself as an ETC, packed his bag for a four-day stay, and took off for Hong Kong, expecting to land several orders for whatever anyone wanted to buy. On the flight over, his seat partner asked what product lines he represented. His response typified the naivete of the new traders. "Any product you want. I'm going to get the order first and then source out a supplier back in the States."

The East African Cement Producers' Association wants the 35 per cent tariff for imported cement products restored to save the sector from collapse.
According to EACPA chairman David Njoroge, there should be a $50 per tonne charge to supplement the 35 per cent tariff but the higher of the two should be charged.
"The specific rate has been proposed to counter dumping and subsidies by the exporting countries as well as the under invoicing of cement at the ports of entry," he said.
The association has appealed to East African Community partner states to avert the imminent closure of the seven cement manufacturing plants in the region, which employ more than 5,000 people. EACPA also wants Uganda's request to import duty free cement products from Asia be rejected.
Since the establishment of the EAC Customs Union protocol in January 2005, cement was classified as a sensitive product with a duty rate of 55 per cent: 25 per cent common external tariff (CET) and a suspended duty of 30 per cent.
5 per cent reduction
The partner states had also agreed that the CET on cement should be reduced by five per cent each year for the subsequent four years to stabilise at a target rate of 35 per cent by 2009.
EACPA secretary Harpreet Duggal told The EastAfrican that the tariff was designed to safeguard the cement industry in the EAC from the threat of dumping by low cost producers.
The tariff would also shield the local cement prices from subsidies given to importers by their respective governments.
Mr Duggal said that Tanzania has been worst hit by the importation of cement from Pakistan, which has taken over 15 per cent of the domestic market.
"The EACPA is deeply concerned at these developments and is worried about the survival of the cement industry in the EAC if the partner states do not take corrective action," he said.
The EACPA comprises cement manufacturing companies from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi.
According to East African Business Council executive director Charles Mbogori, the influx of cheap cement imports will in the long run have a negative impact on the local industry.
Mr Mbogori said that the local cement industry is faced with high production costs resulting from high energy costs, labour costs, a poor distribution network, especially railway transport and inadequate ancillary industries for spare parts and consumables.
Although the EAC common external tariff is in three tariff bands — zero per cent for raw materials, 10 per cent for intermediate goods and 25 per cent for finished products — goods considered sensitive, like cement, often attract a higher tariff.

Do you have to be connected wirelessly to view apps on the ipad
- Asked by Laotou F from Armed Forces Pacific
2 Answers from the Community
Not necessarily. If the app has already been downloaded onto your iPad (which you DO need a network connection to download), then it should open. However, if the app itself needs a network connection to function (for example: Facebook, Twitter, etc.), then yes. The app should notify you if you need a network connection in order to continue.
Apps like Angry Birds and Temple Run (both hit games for the iPad) will work without a connection, but games that use Game Center will not save stats and achievements.

You have to be connected to WiFi/3G to view the App Store itself. Otherwise, if an app was already downloaded onto the iPad previously and does not require a WiFi connection, then you can view the app.

Report: France 'Won't Rule Out' UN Creation of Palestinian State
French FM Bernard Kouchner says that France prefers a two-state solution negotiated with Israel but the option of UN Security Council action remains on the table.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner has said that it is impossible to rule out the option of the United Nations Security Council creating a Palestinian state, French news agency AFP on Sunday quoted a Palestinian newspaper as saying.
According to the report, Kouchner told the Al-Ayyam newspaper that France prefers a two-state solution negotiated with Israel but that the Security Council option remains on the table.
"We want to be able to soon welcome the state of Palestine to the United Nations," Kouchner is quoted as saying. "This is the hope and the desire of the international community, and the sooner that can happen the better. The international community cannot be satisfied with a prolonged deadlock. I therefore believe that one cannot rule out in principle the Security Council option."
Kouchner and his Spanish counterpart Miguel Moratinos arrived in Israel on Sunday for talks on the peace process. The two are pushing French President Nicolas Sarkozy's idea of a summit in Paris later this month between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
On Sunday evening, Kouchner visited the tent set up by captive Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit's parents outside the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem. Shalit is a dual Israeli-French citizen.
On Saturday, an Abbas aide to Abbas said that Abbas has told Arab leaders he may seek United States recognition for a Palestinian state, which would include all of the West Bank, should peace talks with Israel break down.
The idea, raised during Arab League deliberations in Libya on Friday, would place new pressure on Israel to extend a recently expired freeze on construction of settlements in the West Bank - a Palestinian condition for continuing recently relaunched direct peace negotiations.
Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said "alternatives" to the face-to-face talks launched at the start of September had been discussed, among them "ask(ing) the United States to recognize the state of Palestine on the 1967 borders."
"[Another] is to study the possibility of going to the [United Nations] Security Council to get a resolution that calls upon member states to recognize the state of Palestine on the 1967 borders," he told Reuters by telephone from the Libyan town of Sirte.

The jerk chicken wrap is jerk chicken cut into strips and combine with lettuce, tomato and dressing or rice and gravy or any creative idea roll into a roti style.
4 to 6 boneless chicken breast. The large pieces are more manageable on the grill plus they keep in the juicy succulent jerk chicken flavor. Remove skin if necessary for a healthier choice.
3 tbsp Ocho Rios Jerk Spicy or Medium Jerk Sauce
4 tbsp Ocho Rios Jerk All in One dry seasoning
1 tsp Ground Pimento powder
6 to 10 Flour roti 10-inch in size. (Quantity base on serving)
See Jerk seasoning recipe in Jamaican Cuisine if you would like to make jerk seasoning from scratch.
1. Clean chicken completely and slice breast to allow seasoning to penetrate.
2. Season chicken with Ocho Rios Jerk spicy or medium jerk sauce
3. Rub Ocho Rios Jerk All in One dry seasoning thoroughly over chicken
4. Sprinkle ground pimento power all over chicken.
5. Refrigerate chicken for two hours or greater and allow chicken to marinade (preferable overnight).
Best result, "plan ahead", season chicken in dish, cover and refrigerate over night and allow chicken time to marinate.
Ready for Cooking: Remove chicken from refrigerator and sprinkle a small amount of paprika to get that great color.
1. Preheat gas or charcoal grill or preheat oven to 350 degree. (Line bottom of oven with foil).
2. Place chicken on grill. Turn chicken after 30 minutes then 20 minutes, continue turning until done.
3. Allow chicken to grill slowly for the juicy mouthwatering taste. Chicken is ready.
4. Heat outdoor gas grill on medium heat. (For charcoal grill allow coal briquettes to catch properly before placing chicken on grill) Chicken requires slow cooking for a juicy mouthwatering taste.
5. Grill until you can see side ends of chicken start to take color. Turn chicken and allow 15 min. to 20 minutes before the next turn. Turn again in 7 to 12minutes. Cook to desire
(Never ignore your nose and always believe your eyes because cooking time sometimes change base on fire temperature).
Serving: Warm roti wrap for about 10 seconds on grill then slice boneless chicken into strips and arrange on a roti wrap. Add lettuce and tomato with dressing or rice with gravy or any creative ideas into to roti, and roll roti style.
Cooking note:
"YES", jerk chicken on the grill is a healthy choice.

Hearing baby boy Tom laugh at 4am is lovely, says new mum Maia Dunphy
She became a mum for the first time back in July, and while Maia Dunphy might be wrecked from late-night feeds, she couldn't be happier with baby Tom.
The presenter, who is married to comedian Johnny Vegas, admitted she's exhausted from being up at all hours with her little son but nothing can quite beat hearing her baby laughing just when she thinks she's had enough.
"Of course, I've been really, really tired but it's also lovely. This morning at 4am little Tom was just laughing his head off - he's just at that age where he's discovering giggles," Maia told the Diary.
"It's not as though you're being woken up by a party next door or a barking dog, it's your baby."
The RTE star, who is based in the UK with her famous other half, worked on two documentaries for the state broadcaster until she was eight months pregnant before taking some time out to go on a few date nights with Johnny before the birth.
"I was very lucky that I was really healthy - I had no morning sickness, I didn't really put on much weight, I didn't have any weird cravings - so nothing slowed me down [when it came to work]," she said.
"I went back to London about five weeks before I was due and that was when I stopped filming. It was really nice. We did things like going to the cinema and the theatre, all the things we mightn't get to do once the little rugrat arrived."
After taking just 10 weeks off, Maia is back working as hard as ever but she admitted she has it a lot easier compared to other working mums.
"I'm not going whinge anymore about going back to work.
"I'm still a freelancer and a natural worrier so in my mind when I take a step back I think I'll never get any work again, so it's nice to keep the hand in, especially when it works for everybody," she said.
"I'm so fortunate that I have flexibility and so does my husband."
Along with being a new mum, Maia was also recently revealed as the new ambassador for Temple Street Children's Hospital and Mi Wadi's Trick or Treat for Temple Street's campaign to raise money for a new neurology and renal outpatients unit.
"I've never been to a children's hospital and being a new mum it's obviously something that's very close to my heart. It's been a really uplifting experience and it's such a positive campaign," she said.

Hello claycliffcrisclar. The questions that you have put fourth I apologize but as the discoverer with an extensive field research background I am unable to even ponder a guess at your questions. Fire breathing well even with skull matrix excavation experience looking at the individual components within the mouth. the teeth and replacement teeth. I could not even touch the fire question. As for the second part of your question. Here again that would be pure and total speculation and so I must say that in no way could I even venture a guess. The dating of Seazoria Dragons has been placed at 484 million years. Today the surviving Seazoria biological remains are completely petrified and have been reduced to dirt and stone. The Seazoria bodies are blended into the surrounding sediments making your question impossible to answer based on the age and current state of the remains.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring a partner?
At Logan Dance Sydney, you don't need a partner to attend the classes. In all of our classes, we change partners constantly whether you come to the studio on your own or with a partner, giving everyone the opportunity to experience dancing with different people. This also makes it easier for new people to learn as we often have more advanced students helping in the beginners level 1 classes.
If you want to start competing we will match you up with a partner from the studio so that you can develop your skills together for competition.
Am I too young or too old to dance?
At Logan Dance Sydney, we have a community that represents all age groups. Whether you are 6, 26 or 76 we have fun and exhilarating classes that will suit your individual skill level.
Do I need to come to every class?
We have a flexible class structure, which caters for busy people. We have built a dance community rather than simply holding classes and you can drop in, for whichever class suits your schedule. This means that you are not paying for classes that you don't take, and you can learn at a pace that suits your lifestyle.
What should I wear?
Most people wear t-shirts, jeans, skirts, sneakers and some dress more formally when they first start. Wearing comfortable clothing and footwear is very important when you attend the classes. Start with something you can move in easily and chose supportive footwear. As you continue to attend the classes, you will work out what suits you the best.
How fit do I need to be to enjoy my first class?
Dancing is great for fitness and movement however you do not need to be fit to learn to dance. The classes are fun and light and many people are surprised at how quickly their fitness improves with regular dance lessons.
When are your classes held?
We have a variety of classes throughout the day – Tuesday to Saturday. Our beginner's level 1 and 2 classes rotate through several styles so classes are always varied and fun. Click here for timetables and events.
My child is shy; will he/she enjoy the classes?
Yes! We have had the pleasure of working with some very shy kids and they always come out of their shell after a couple of lessons. Dance is a fantastic way for kids to learn to express themselves and feel confident in social situations, and many kids (and adults!) form great lasting friendships.
Where are you situated?
We are situated on the corner of Alison Rd and Belmore Rd in Randwick, well known as Peter's corner. Enter through the big yellow entrance, come upstairs to the studio and start dancing!
Is there parking nearby?
There is a council carpark on the corner of Arthur Lane & Silver St just off Belmore Rd and plenty of off-street parking in the surrounding residential area.

Hi I was wondering if there are set term times or can my daughter start classes at any date?
Hi Stephenie,
Yes, you can bring your daughter in to start the classes at any time.
The kids Salsa & Latin and Hip Hop weekday classes break for the school holidays otherwise all classes run continuously throughout the year.
Is the Wednesday afternoon hip hop class suitable for a 61/2 and 10 year old?
Hi Ilana,
The Wednesday Hip Hop class is definitely suitable for the 10 year old and we do take the kids as young as 6 in the class but it just depends on each of the kids.
Best thing to do is just bring them in and see how they go, I'm sure they will enjoy the class and you are welcome to stay and watch.
I will be there during the class and look forward to meeting you then.

[F1] Mercedes Still Hoping to Get Some Run at Young Driver Test
The Mercedes F1 team got a fairly minor punishment for its role in what has come to be known as TyreGate, being suspended from the scheduled young driver test on July 17 to 19 at the Silverstone circuit. However, it turns out that the team is still hoping to get some time on track within that period. According to a Toto Wolff interview with AUTOSPORT, it all has to do with safety on the track, and the whole thing is 'a work in progress' at this point. Wolff, the Mercedes-Benz motorsport chief, it would be for the best if all teams got to work on their cars if safety is the… Continue Reading »

This post is written by Johan Källvik, Business Development Manager, at the Swisslog-Accalon Technology Center in Boxholm, Sweden.
Imagine a warehouse in which rows of full pallets could be stacked up to 165 feet in the air, one on top of another, on top of another. Then, with the ease and grace of a high quality machine, one of those pallets–weighing as much as 6,600 lbs–is gently lifted from its storage space and quickly brought to a worker at ground level.
This is the amazing world of automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). These automated systems have been perfected through the use of our stacker cranes. These cranes are the central component inside today's storage retrieval systems. They swiftly transfer pallets, containers, and even cars from storage slots within the ASRS to a pickup station outside the system.

Swisslog Stacker Cranes
Swisslog has decades of experience in designing stacker cranes. In 1969, we produced our first one, and now we have delivered nearly 2,800 of them across the globe. Our latest development, the Vectura crane is built on our years of experience and with the latest technologies available, resulting in a reliable and price competitive crane built to last.
The Vectura unit load, stacker crane is a flexible and modular design concept which allows our customers to quickly configure the crane and ASRS to their specific application. Additionally, the flexibility of the Vectura concept means that the crane can act as a carrying platform for almost any type of product, and the accuracy of the positioning system means products can be picked and placed extremely precisely.
Single Mast vs. Double Mast
Projects that are "outside the box" are always extra challenging, but the strength, speed, flexibility, and accuracy of the single mast Vectura crane makes it capable of carrying heavy loads at high speeds in applications where our competitors are forced to use double mast cranes. For example, in one application utilizing 11 cranes, each at 43 meters high, we were the only crane bidder that could offer single mast cranes.
There are many advantages of using a single mast crane versus a double mast crane, but some of the obvious advantages include:
Of course, sometimes we are forced to use a double mast solution due to size, shape, and/or weight of the load. An example of a double mast application is the solution we provided for Larson Boats in Minnesota. We were required to store and retrieve large boats, which didn't allow us to use a smaller, single mast system.
We have also done several applications that handled car bodies and large truck cabins. One such system used a Vectura double mast crane to place painted car bodies precisely on location pins within a rack; there were no fixtures. The Vectura position accuracy allowed the car bodies to be handled directly on specific hard points such as the jack positions.
The applications needed for the automotive industry are always very challenging due to extreme quality standards and high uptime, but despite the difficulties, Swisslog has always managed to create effective solutions for our clients, regardless of the challenges or the client's industry.
About the Swisslog-Accalon Technology Center
The Swisslog Technology Center offers our cranes and conveyors to selected integrators worldwide. This partnership combines our experience and state-of-the-art products with our partners' knowledge of client systems and local conditions. We feel this business model is very successful, and jointly we strive to satisfy our end-customers.
Flexibility in crane systems is most required as it helps in moving of storage materials efficiently.
As technology gets better, automated storage and retrieval systems can do more and more. The flexibility that they now offer is incredible.
