But one thing that's remained fairly untouched is the design of many instruments themselves. Despite all the innovations, violins are for the most part violins, acoustic drums are still acoustic drums, and guitars are still guitars.
But now the custom shop at Gibson Guitars has made a big step, coming out with a line of guitars embedded with on-board electronics that are able to check the tuning of the instrument, and if they find something wrong -- will automatically tune the instrument for you..
Of course the catch here is that technology like this doesn't come cheap, but how about Gibson going ahead and loading this option onto their most expensive models only.
Seriously, I feel like Gibson is saying "Hey, Dan -- still can't afford a Les Paul? Then I guess you won't mind if we add another grand onto the price tag, eh?"
Still, very cool idea put into real-world use.
I'm sure Jimmy Page will get a lot of mileage out of it.

This is among the most faq's which comes in sessions with clients every week!
"How do you find my dream? How do you make contact with something I yearn to understand?Inch
Can you really know very well what has been stated for you even though you don't listen to it within the usual audible form? People frequently think they are able to receive solutions to problems in order to questions they've requested simply by wondering and hearing the solutions from individuals they've requested.
But exactly how can someone understand what the ideal is? They could possibly inquire some questions that will help you to possess some insight and clearness as to the your dreams are, but there are lots of different ways to get solutions too.
Sometimes solutions receive for you meaning that when you wonder, you've already intuited the solution on some level. You instinctively understand what your path is perfect for you with no word being spoken.
"Hearing" the way to go will come by means of an emblem or metaphor that's been put into your existence. It might be as easy as very simple that springs up once you open your door. Winds signify a cleaning or new beginning that's coming the right path. That is one significant answer for a lot of.
I really like the metaphysical message when you get a feather somewhere inside your travels! The idea in lots of cultures is the fact that down are indicating greater thought or spiritual progression. If you look for a feather in your path it may imply that you are on the greater spiritual path as well as an encouragement to build up what you are considering to some greater degree.
You may looked your window along with a blue bird was located on your fence. That may symbolize contentment, happiness or pleasure that might be associated with your ideas in those days. Or possibly you are searching for divine solutions on any subject. Searching surrounding you carefully on that day brings the way to go. People may appear out of your past, headlines in the newspaper may get noticed or the other signs that you choose to notice because you are prepared to get an answer or validate what the ideal continues to be whispering for you about.
Deciding you are prepared to receive may be the greatest reason solutions receive. It just becomes dependent on gathering all of the clues provided to you on that day or that night (inside your dreams) to get your solutions. You can also Google metaphysical meanings (what exceed the physical) or Native American meaning to collect more solutions.
Keep in mind that solutions receive when requested for. By not boxing yourself into traditional types of communication, you'll permit the knowledge from the ages to stick out.

The internet is like any part of the world: there are lots of great places where you can have fun or find things out, but it's always important to have safety in mind.
The ten points below can help you stay safe online. Get in touch if you have any comments or questions about them.
You shouldn't give information such as your home address, phone number or school to people you talk to online, no matter what they say or offer you.
When you want to sign up to an internet site you will often be asked to give out personal information like your name, address and telephone number. It's important to stop and think before you do. What will the information be used for? Who might get hold of it? If you're not sure, you should talk to a parent or carer before you sign up.
Information on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter can often be seen by anyone. Because of this, you should think about what you do and don't put on these sites.
Think about the photos you put on the internet, and whether you are comfortable with them being public. To protect your identity, you can make your photo on a website a drawing or abstract picture instead of a photo of yourself.
Never arrange to meet anyone in the real world who you only know online, unless your parent or carer agrees and comes with you.
If someone threatens you online or says something that makes you feel uncomfortable, don't respond. Instead, tell a parent or carer and report the person to the site that you're on. You may also want to contact CEOP about what the person has said.
Any passwords you use are supposed to be secret, so it's best to keep them to yourself. You shouldn't use the same password in two different places on the internet.
You should use a nickname on internet forums and social media sites where you are able to. This will mean people on those sites will find it more difficult to find information about you, such as where you live.
Some companies may pass on all or some of the information you tell them when you sign up to or interact with their website. This can mean you get lots of unwanted emails from other companies. To prevent this, check any forms you fill in on websites. Most of them will have a small box you can tick or untick to make sure your information is not passed on.
Viruses can spread through email attachments, causing serious damage to the device you're on when you open them. Make sure emails are from people you know and trust before opening their attachments. Even this isn't foolproof, so if you're unsure you should scan the email for viruses or delete it.
All the advice above applies no matter what device you're using the internet on. It's important to be as careful on a phone, tablet or console as it is when you're on a computer.
If you see this picture on the sites you use, you can click on it to get advice and help about internet safety. You can do this whether you feel safe or not.
You can send CEOP a report if someone has acted inappropriately online towards you or to a child or young person you know. This may include:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators have sued Navient, accusing the biggest U.S. student loan company of making it harder for borrowers to repay loans by giving them bad information, processing payments incorrectly and failing to act on complaints.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed the federal lawsuit against Navient Corp. and two subsidiaries on Wednesday, seeking restitution for affected borrowers and money penalties. The agency said the company also cheated struggling borrowers out of their rights to lower their payments "through shortcuts and deception."
Navient disputed the allegations, calling the suit a politically motivated "midnight action" two days before the Trump administration takes office.
"We will vigorously defend against these false allegations," the company said in a statement.

If you want the original version, see here.
- "Ich rieche Masken."
- ―Toy Spam the Puppet
Toy Spam is Spam's remodel. He wants everyone's masks, regardless if he has to pry it from their dead faces. He talks with a German accent, for an unknown reason. As an Or Pyx, he calls himself Totenmaske.
Toy Spam has a thin, black animatronic, with 10 gold stripes going down his body. He has a silver spring for a lower torso. His arms are thin and silver, with five orange stripes on each. He has a blue bowtie, and is wearing a mask. There are four fingers on each of his hands, each with a black stripe around it. He wears a headband, with tan-ish gray bunny ears. He has a red bow on the headband as well. When his mask is removed, he has a featureless face other than his red endoskeleton eyes.
Toy Spam doesn't talk to much people, instead he spends his time scheming to collect all masks. This makes it difficult for anyone to be friends with him.
They are friends, but they compete about their mask collecting way too often.
tbc If you are attacked by an animatronics because of Toy Spam stealing your mask, he will push the other animatronics out of the way and jumpscare you (if running away to hallway), or he will drop from the ceiling on the table and jumpscare you. (if on the ceiling)
Toy Spam will slowly creep to your office, prefering to surprise you, which makes him normally active. Toy Spam can steal your Freddy mask when you look at the monitors, and even if you are wearing it. If Toy Spam steals your mask, you are unable to use it, indicated by the x on the icon. If he steals it when your monitors are up, he'll run away in the hallway. If it is taken when you're wearing it, Toy Spam will spring up to the ceiling, hang on it, and wear your Freddy head.
Games They Appear In
- Totally not slightly feminine.
- Part-German-Animatronic.

Welcome to my site!
My purpose with creating this site is to inspire people to engage in their own health and well-being, from the simplest level to most profound. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Asian medicine (Chinese medicine) and Holistic health and nutrition at a young age and have embraced it as not only a meaningful and rewarding career but as an abundant lifestyle. I've spent more than 2 decades practicing and teaching these principles. I've set up this site both as a resource for others as well as a creative play land for me. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. April
Autumn 2017–I am in the process of updating my site. Watch for great changes.

Diplomate, Asian Bodywork Therapy (Dipl. ABT. NCCAOM)
Certified Holistic Nutritionist (CHN)
AOBTA Certified Instructor firstname.lastname@example.com
I love my career and lifestyle, and I was fortunate to fall into it at a very young age–right out of high school. My goal is to inspire and teach healthier living through Amma therapy, Asian medicine and holistic nutrition–and I am here to create.
I believe in humanity's infinite potential. We have the ability to do the greatest good for all life on this planet and and beyond. I know love and hope to be universal truths. It was imperative for me to find a line of work that embodied my core beliefs–I know I have found that in Holistic health, Nutrition and Chinese medicine.
I began studying and practicing Aikido and Asian philosophy, medicine and meditation in 1989. I moved to studying KungFu and Karate in a few later then, in 1993, I had stumbled across Amma Therapy. A highly refined system of whole living and preventative medicine. Perfect! I had found what I was searching for. Chinese medicine at its finest is not static, ever evolving, ever deep levels of knowledge that can benefit every aspect of life if you let it. From 1995-2011, I worked at The Wellspring School for Healing Arts serving in many capacities including administrative, advertising and as the Boise Lead Amma Therapy Instructor. Read more here.
Amma Therapy
Amma therapy, like acupuncture and other Asian bodywork forms, focuses on the balance and movement of Qi (energy) within the body. Whereas the acupuncturist inserts needles into the energy pathways to stimulate and move the energy, the Amma practitioner relies primarily on the sensitivity and strength of the hands to manipulate the client's Qi. Amma therapy techniques include both deep-tissue manipulation, that is used in other forms of therapeutic massage, and the stimulation of Qi movement that is the basis of Chinese medicine. Although there is a basic form, Amma therapy is highly adaptable to the client's needs. For example, a client with fibromyalgia or cancer may need a very gentle treatment compared to the depth and vigor of treatment that an athlete can handle. We have to meet each client where they are at and then work to reach or maintain health. Some practitioners specialize and work with only certain clients, however, Amma can be used for all ages and all stages of health. I treat young and old, athletes to those who are ill.
A Little Amma Therapy History
Amma therapy's origins date back nearly 5,000 years to the time of the Yellow Emperor (Hwaung Di). Hwuang Di is accredited with being the first to codify medicine in the Hwaung Di Ni Jing. First mentions of this text were during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-25BCE). Like other lineages, oral history predated this text–so who really knows how far back it goes. Amma literally means 'push-pull' and is recognized as one of the oldest Chinese words for bodywork or massage. The form of Amma therapy I practice comes from the lineage of Tina (Kim) Sohn. Like other members of Kim family, a ruling class in Korea, Tina was educated in Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, philosophy, bodywork, herbs and martial arts. She married Dr. Robert Sohn and brought Amma Therapy to New York in 1964. I was trained at the Wellspring School by Rylen Feeney beginning in 1993. I stayed with the school working as an apprentice and then moved into teaching and directing the programs from 1995-2010. Read more.
Choosing a nutritionist to work with can be a challenge. The media is flooded with ideas of what is good and bad in the realm of food. And those ideas seem to change from week to the next, all the more reason to have a clear picture of the nutritionist's approach to food. My foundations in food come from my upbringing on a small, productive family farm and my chosen career in Asian medicine and a deep understanding of western nutritional ideas. Asian medicine's energetic understanding of foods and herbs is amazingly simple yet profound, and can work well with western nutrition's understanding of food and healing–if we let it. The food we choose to ingest can be our best source of vitality and healing…or our biggest self hindering process. I do not believe there is one "right" diet. Our needs vary based on our age, constitution, gender and general health. If you have a very weak or compromised digestion, regularity and routine in eating habits are perhaps, the most important habits you can have. Read more.
I created the Energetics Temperature of Foods poster as a guide for those interested in understanding food's natures to a deeper level. Get your copy today.
Watch for my upcoming books 2017!
I have been teaching since 1994. I offer a variety of classes for both the public, apprenticeship and continuing education for Asian medicine and nutrition practitioners. Watch for dates of upcoming classes and workshops.

What people are saying
April is amazing!
She has great technique and fabulous point work. I really enjoyed my treatment.
After my session I always wonder why it took me so long to come in 🙂 . . . . .JE
Have had two Amma sessions with April and my back pain has been significantly reduced already. I have also been given some good dietary advice for my arthritis. I will comment again in the future but so far I am a most satisfied client. Thank you April. RT
April helped my healing journey more in one visit than all my doctors combined… She is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive and I'm finally feeling relief from my symptoms that were holding me back from joy and health. Thank you! LV
Another great treatment from April. She is so knowledgeable – I learn something about myself every visit. And it feels so good too. VL
If I were younger, I would definitely study with April. As it turns out, however, I became a "patient of hers." While fully believing in the value of Eastern healing & often seeing how Western healing lacks, my heart is in Holistic Healing. It fits me, and everything that has ever worked for me. Possibly, I may never have the formal opportunity to be an educator of this respected interest, but many of the principles, have influenced my direction. While I practice with physicians trained in Western medicine, I totally believe and have a desire to learn more of what April has; to support this valuable "lifestyle," and to incorporate the knowledge (in my own nursing practice), about which I still have much to learn. Safe to say that my instincts tell me it is very good. It fits me; my values, and it will hopefully allow me to enjoy the maximum life benefits, that I as an individual can maintain, as I move into the senior years. SS

Is there a link between structural unemployment and the current problem of outsourcing?
- print Print
- list Cite
There are a number of points that must be made here.
First, there are many people who would dispute the idea that outsourcing is a "problem." To many people, outsourcing is an important business practice. It is a practice that lowers the costs incurred by companies and thereby lowers prices for consumers.
Second, not all "outsourcing" contributes to unemployment in the United States. Only "offshore outsourcing" has a major impact on unemployment. This is because outsourcing is simply the practice of having some aspects of a firms operation done by an outside firm, not within the company. In other words, outsourcing can happen within the United States. Any outsourcing to American companies does not tend to increase unemployment much.
That said, there is a link between structural unemployment and offshore outsourcing. Structural unemployment occurs when a particular worker's skills are no longer needed in the domestic economy. Offshoring has resulted in the disappearance of some entire industries in the United States. People whose skills were needed for those industries (mostly manufacturing industries) became structurally unemployed because their skills were no longer needed in the US.
There is, then, a connection between structural unemployment and offshoring. Offshoring makes certain classes of jobs disappear from the US economy. This makes the people who did those jobs suffer from structural unemployment.

What has Purdue done to reduce costs or improve efficiency of its operations? Have there been any cost savings?
Purdue has taken several steps to reduce its budget:
- Annual merit increases—These were suspended for FY10 at all campuses. Adjustments will be made for faculty change in academic rank.
- Special merit pay– One-time special merit bonuses were suspended, resulting in a savings of approximately $3 million in FY09.
- Budget reductions – General fund was cut 2% for FY10, totaling $12.1 million system-wide.
- Faculty and staff vacancies – Vacancies are being filled based on strategic needs only.
- Review of travel – Departments are reviewing all travel requests carefully, especially those for out-of-state and international travel. Travel cost dropped 6% in FY09, saving $2.244 million.
Other recent changes include:
- Debt management – The use of variable-rate debt has saved considerable money by reducing outstanding debt and/or reducing debt service costs. During the 2007-08 fiscal year, Purdue reverted $3.7 million of debt service appropriations to the state and $4.857 million for 2008-09 (nonrecurring).
- Food service consolidation – The university has consolidated food service facilities within the residence halls from 11 to 5 locations. Salary savings were sufficient to finance the costs of these remodeled and new dining facilities. Savings: $2.8 million recurring.
- Utilization of instructional space – On average, our classrooms are used 37 hours a week in the fall semester of 2008 with an average occupancy rate (ratio of seats in the room to seats used) of 70% per room. Classrooms are also used heavily during the evening hours for exams and student group meetings and study sessions.
Some efforts under way
- Competitive bidding
- Large IT purchases – Large purchases of computer equipment are consolidated across campus for bidding purposes, resulting in significant cost savings. Savings: $1.8 million recurring.
- Remarketing of insurance programs – Savings: $1.7 million recurring.
- Server virtualization – Savings: $125,000 recurring.
- Energy-savings projects – $1.7 million in recurring savings under way with another $5 million potential efforts identified:
- FY10 an additional $995,000
- FY14 an additional $1.7 million
Those under way includes:
- Installing utility meters in buildings. This will help determine which buildings are the best targets for energy reduction technologies. Metering for 58 WL buildings that represent 70% of purchased utilities is expected to be completed in 2012.
- Qualified energy savings projects at three large campus buildings are planned or under way to make building systems more energy efficient, saving energy and money while also reducing overall campus peak demand for steam, chilled water, and electricity.
- Three older buildings are being retrofitted with energy savings upgrades and "tune-ups."
- LEED green building guidelines for new construction and building rehabilitation are being evaluated. Information and experience gained will result in a comprehensive plan for future energy conservation.
- These energy conservation projects are estimated to generate $2.2 million in annual energy savings in the next five years.
- Instructional computing labs – A current campus-wide review of computer laboratories is determining the right configuration of lab spaces and the right number of labs to best meet the student need.
- Institutional memberships – The university eliminated 84 of more than 900 institutional memberships, reducing the $1.5 million cost by almost $100,000.
- Summer session enrollment – An incentive program has been implemented to encourage colleges and schools to increase summer session enrollment, including distance education. Summer enrollment growth not only generates fee revenue, it advances students to degree, provides instructional opportunities for faculty, and utilizes classroom and residence hall space.
- Established task force on cost savings, efficiency and effectiveness – The task force reviews and identifies cost savings measures and solicits ideas from staff for improving efficiency and effectiveness of business operations.
Some efforts under study
- Libraries print and electronic subscriptions —Savings: $102,000 recurring.
- Discovery Park maturation – $775,000 recurring.
- Organizational restructuring of diversity, computing labs and staffing, video production, corporate relations, marketing and media, academic programs.

Every day, you are exposed to billions of bacteria, viruses, and parasites from the environment. Your body is an open target all the time that it's really a miracle you're still alive. The secret lies in your immune system which is intricately designed and organized to protect you from these harmful microorganisms.
A component of this complex system is its immune cells. With the protective mechanisms of these cells, it's like having a full army on 24 hour patrol which defends you from dangerous foreign invaders. What happens when you don't have these cells? One of my sources said that as morbid as it may seem, think of someone dead where his immune system stopped working and millions of organisms attack his body until what's left is a skeleton.
So what are these built-in soldiers of yours which help in keeping you alive every day?
The Phagocytes
These cells are usually among the first to counter attack during an infection. Phagocytes are programmed to search and devour bacteria, viruses and parasites as well as the cells that are damaged by these microorganisms.
There are three of kinds of phagocytes.
– First are the granulocytes which attack foreign bodies in large numbers. Using their powerful enzymes, they engulf enemies.
– Second are the macrophages which compensate for their slower response through their bigger size, longer lives, and their ability to eat more intruders.
– And third are the more recently known dendritic cells which also capture and eat up foreign substances.
The Lymphocytes
Aside from directly attacking foreign bodies, macrophages and dendritic cells have another crucial role in the immune system. After devouring a virus, bacteria or a parasite, they actually carry a part of their victim called antigen on their surface. They then travel to the lymph nodes, spleen and thymus where more powerful immune cells called lymphocytes are found. In there, the phagocytes present the antigen to the lymphocytes (call them your second line of defense, if you may). Lymphocytes have numerous receptors on their surface that match a particular antigen. Once a receptor recognizes the antigen, the lymphocyte is activated to help fight the intruders.
• T-Cells
One kind of lymphocytes is the T-cells which are of two types: the Helper T cells and Killer T cells.
– The Helper T cells are actually the first to be activated by an antigen presented by a phagocyte. When this happens, the Helper T-cells produce proteins that in turn activate the Killer T-cells as well as the other immune cells such as the B-cell.
– The activated Killer T cells then look for the cells that are infected by the viruses and bacteria and swiftly kill them.
• B-Cells
Another group of lymphocytes alerted by the antigen carried by your macrophages or dendritic cells are the B-cells.
To be fully activated however, B-cells need the proteins of Helper T-cells as mentioned.
Once this full activation occurs, a B-cell divides into two cells: plasma cells and memory cells.
– Plasma cells produce antibodies. These antibodies attach to the antigens of the foreign substances and the cells infected by them. Through these, not only do they stop the intruders from causing further damage, they also mark and gather these enemies, making it easier for the eater cells to devour them.
– Memory cells on the other hand, records the imprint of the antigens. When invaders whose antigens they've recorded attack you again in the future, the immune system is activated a lot faster, meaning the antigen-presentation of the pathogens as well as the conference of the Helper T-cell and Killer T-cell need not happen. Your memory cells just remind the other immune cells that they've once fought this kind of enemies and they'll attack them right away. Often, the response is so quick that the invading microorganisms are wiped out before they can cause you any symptom. Consider Chicken pox; once you have it, you'll never have it again (except in rare cases) – that's because your memory cells (which are also produced by T-cells) simply remember them.
As stated, your immune cells are just a part of your complicated immune system. In fact, this system is so complex that a lot of it is yet to be fully understood. But what is known is enough to assure you that your body is fully equipped to take care of you, as long as you take good care of it too.

La Clusaz
Earth : Europe : France : French Alps : La Clusaz
La Clusaz is a town in the French Alps.
Together with the neighboring town of Grand Bornand, La Clusaz forms the center of the Aravis ski area. Different from many French ski resorts, the atmosphere of La Clusaz remains true to the alpine village.
Get in
Drive over the Col des Aravis and drop down into the village (summer only as road closed in winter). In winter access via Annecy, Thones or via M40 motorway exist near Bonneville.
1 hour from Geneva airport. Airport Transfers available from 'Aravis Transfers.'
Get around
La Clusaz is mainly a winter sport resort with more than 120 km of ski slopes for downhill skiing. It is highly rated by intermediate skiers with a wide range of excellent blue and red runs, and for advanced skiers there is large amount of accessible off piste on north facing combes.
Two areas are also available for cross country skiing on "Les Confins" and "Plateau de Beauregard"
Eating here is very typical of French mountain resorts.
La Ferme, on the slope overlooking the village, is a popular guesthouse and restaurant with excellent atmosphere. Great for traditional dishes including fondue.
Excellent pizzas available at Ugo H, halfway up the main street.
Le Foly located 3 km from La Clusaz in the Confins valley is well worth a visit.
There Are many nightlife bars and clubs.
Stay on the uphill side of town for best views and hotels.
Get out

Drivers for Germany's Deutsche Bahn plan a week-long strike to start on Monday, their eighth walkout in 10 months of wage negotiations.
Yes, this strike is for this week but considering that it is the 8th strike in 10 months, anyone planning on rail travel through Germany this year should have a backup plan just in case.

Planning on taking the train in Germany? Better have a backup plan.
Drivers for Germany's Deutsche Bahn plan a week-long strike to start on Monday, their eighth walkout in 10 months of wage negotiations.

.. but a extremely high number of trains seem to run nevertheless
For point to point travel, check http://www.checkmybus.ch/
These buses are cheaper than trains anyway.

A lot of trains do run, HOWEVER, if you bought a Sparpreis ticket then you are very likely SOL.
All i am saying is have a backup plan, just in case. Especially if you bought a discounted ticket.
Report Abuse
May make the value of a German Railpass if taking more than a few trains priceless as can be used on any train with very few exceptions anytime - just hop on as nearly no German trains have mandated seat requirements! Sometimes folks save a relatively little money with discounted tickets and their potential liabilities in such strikes when for a modest sum more they could travel carte blanche!
Report Abuse
If a train is cancelled for which you bought a Sparpreis Ticket, you can take a different one.
I think there are restrictions with very cheap tickets as Länder or weekend tickets to take the more expensive trains (IC, ICE). But if you have a ticket for the train to Frankfurt at 13:00 which gets cancelled, you can take the one at 12:00 or 14:00.

Here writes the local man from Germany:
Next week there will be chaos in the railway system. Yes, a few trains will run - but hours late, you do not know whether they go and when, the stations will be crowded with stranded people, the platforms will be crowded and the trains too. You may get a refund for your ticket, but only after waiting in line in front of the counter for two hours, after filling out a 4-pages-form and after threatening to give the matter in the hands of your lawyer.
What will happen after this week-long strike, nobody can predict. Maybe they find an agreement, maybe there will be more strikes.
In other words: Your vacation will be ruined. Forget train travel when the train is on strike. The plan B might be a bus (www.meinfernbus.de), but since everyone makes this plan b, the buses might be fully booked as well. Plan C will be a rental car. Plan D a flight, if there is a connection.

That is simply not true.

I'm glad that for our all-too-short trip in June, we're hiring a car to get us from Berlin to our destination, about 2 hours drive away.
The earliest we could have got there by train was an hour after we'll get there by car [always supposing I can find our destination, and don't head for the same town of the same name like we almost did last time] and with the strikes, it's possible that by the time we got there it would be time to come back.
Report Abuse
annhig - under optimal conditions you may arrive there an hour earlier by car but IME of driving German autobahns there can be stahls as I believe Germans call them - been in so many, mainly around big cities though. but given the questionable iffy spector of trains not running or the few that may be so overloaded you wouldn't want to - a car makes sense and Berlin as you may know is an excellent city to drive in - thanks to WW2 with its now broad boulevards going everywhere.
Report Abuse
>>>stahls as I believe Germans call them<<<
The word "stahls" does not exist in German. There is a word "Stahl" which translates to "steel" and has nothing to do with Autobahnen.
We have very few connections where the train is faster than the car from door to door. And, sadly enough, the train is usually late, you miss connections and you are in trouble. German trains used to be reliable, but this is long ago. It has obviously not made to North Michigan yet.
Report Abuse
What is a bottle neck on an autobahn be called? Curious?
Report Abuse
Pal - I think you're talking about a "Stau", which is the german for "hold up", or traffic jam, as our Navi constantly reminded us on our way from Karlsruhe to Stuttgart airport on a Monday morning. [not recommended]
We won't be driving on Berlin, but heading south west from the airport towards Leipzig and beyond.

Is it possible to figure out in advance which trains will still run? Even a couple hours in advance could make the difference between enjoying a different city than planned and wasting hours sitting in a train station. I arrive in Germany in the next 5 days and was going to be traveling almost exclusively by train ...
Also, what do you suggest as a backup plan? Car rental?
Report Abuse
Yep. A Stau is a traffic jam.
If you rent a car and are planning to use the autobahn, it would be wise to plan in a 30-45 min buffer for every 2 hours you plan on driving just in case you run into an accident or other slowdown. I seems like every time we drive to/from FRA that we are stuck in traffic for at least 30 min.

It's possible to figure out the schedules but like others said, the trains will be packed to the gills. Check schedules here: http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml and expect to see one running train for every 4-7 cancelled.
The most convenient backup plan is to rent a car. (And take along your own GPS. This one has lifetime maps: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BHSTWOY/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00BHSTWOY&linkCode=as2&tag=collectionofcoll&linkId=KLZHGJ4K5AFQFJFY )

I couldn't find the English version but I think this is the most reliable German version. I think it's different from the normal schedule query. Start is start, Ziel is destination.
From a quick check on the route I'm often travelling (and will travel on Thu or Fri), at least 50% of the trains are still scheduled. No idea how representative this is.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were more packed than ususal and I'd also expect more delays than usual. But during the last strike I took regional trains to work, i.e. rush-hour, and they were in my opinion less crowded than normal. A lot of people must have switched to alternative transports. Which is also the reason why I'd expect more trafic and traffic jams than usual on the streets.
Report Abuse
Hans, the link I posted ( http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml ) gives the current rail schedule.
The regionals and locals are running but many are also cancelled. Looks like only 25% from a few local searches I performed.

No doubt that this can happen. But I'd expect many people to avoid train travel if at all possible. If one can avoid rush-hour, I wouldn't be surprised if the situation is better than the worst case.
By the way, without reservation I'd head to the restaurant car. There's often a chance to get a seat there.
Report Abuse
Spark, sorry, I thought I saw a difference in a search but I probably just got it wrong.
I think the amount of cancelled local trains might also depend on how many Beamte (state employees from the time before the Bahn was privatized) are still working in a region since they aren't allowed to strike. I think the percentage is higher in the former West Germany than in former East Germany.

Is there a decent chance that this situation will stretch into the summer?
And would the strike affect EC trains that originate or end in Germany?

That depends entirely on whether or not an agreement is reached between the union and DB.
And would the strike affect EC trains that originate or end in Germany?

@sparkchaser - that link says that Thalys will operate normally, doesn't mention ICE. I just bought a ticket for ICE Lubeck-Copenhagen for July... and there is no way I will drive that.
This doesn't affect U-bahn and S-bahn, right? In other words, I would still be able to go Berlin-Potsdam, but maybe not Berlin-Shwerin?
Report Abuse
U-bahn is local networks and those should be running normally. My local S-Bahn is a local network but it is still affected by the strike.
ICE is a DB product and if they are on strike during your trip in July, you are potentially impacted (because nobody knows if there will be a rail strike on your travel date).
Do you feel lucky?

"Do you feel lucky?"
Not particularly. How much notice are the strikers giving?

Thanks for the links, they're helpful. Hopefully they're also accurate
Anyone know if historically the strikes actually end when they say they will? Or is there a good chance train travel the week beginning May 10 will also be a mess?

well traveler1959 lives in Germany I believe and knows these things better than most and he said above:
<What will happen after this week-long strike, nobody can predict. Maybe they find an agreement, maybe there will be more strikes.>
The German railways are going thru a period of intense labor-management friction so expect strikes at anytime - that is what I gather from above posts anyway. Don't count on it ending when it says it will end. Unfortuantely.
Report Abuse
How much notice are the strikers giving?
Enough for DB to make notices to put up at the stations and for the news outlets to report it.
Report Abuse
FWIW, I checked tomorrow's schedule for two trains I'd be taking this summer. For EC 173 from Berlin to Prague, they are selling full fare refundable tickets, but not discounted tickets. But for Berlin, it indicates "Stop Cancelled".
For EC/ALX 354, from Prague to Munich, they are selling full fare tickets, and there are no other notes, so apparently that train is running.
Report Abuse
I would not rely on tomorrow's DB schedule to be an indicator of the schedule in July should there be a strike the day you are traveling.

For EC/ALX 354, from Prague to Munich, they are selling full fare tickets, and there are no other notes, so apparently that train is running.- It's not a DB train right - the strike is only on DB trains? I'm curious or an all of Germany's various railways?
Report Abuse
We were back and forth or train or car so am happy we are renting now.

PQ, don't know the answer to that one. They're both EC trains, but maybe it has to do with where they originate, and who's driving? Probably very difficult to figure out on an individual basis.
sparkchaser, thanks for the advice, but I was mainly posting that info for the benefit of others who may be wondering about whether EC trains might be affected.
Report Abuse
"Anyone know if historically the strikes actually end when they say they will? Or is there a good chance train travel the week beginning May 10 will also be a mess?"
The strike won't run into Monday 11th and I think the chances are very low that there'll be an additional strike in that week (at least I can't remember a precedent for that). But there's no guarantee that there's no strike in two weeks.
As far as I understand it, the main problem with the negotiations is that two unions are involved. So the negotiations aren't just about wages or work environment but also involve a power struggle between the two unions. This is somewhat unusual for Germany and makes it very difficult to predict how long it'll take to find a solution for the dispute.

Just logged on and am reeling! Will be arriving May 20 and have planned to use trains exclusively for 13 days. Glad I logged on, would have hated to be surprised by this. Will be traveling Muc to GP, GP to Nurnberg, Nurnberg to Boppard, Boppard to Frankfurt
Don't want to drive, and wondering if now that this is an issue, a car will be difficult to get
Report Abuse
The strike should be over by then.
Report Abuse
flpab: breaks my heart.

Short update from my experience with taking a train during the strike: I ended up about 45 minutes late due to a missed connection but this happens also quite frequently without a strike. Even though I travelled around rush-hour for business travellers (17:30-20:00) the train wasn't especially full (in my opinion emptier than normal) and I found a seat without a reservation.
I'm sure that there are many examples for worse experiences but thingsa can also work out well.
Report Abuse
I didn't notice this on the DB website the last time I was on it, so maybe it's new. It states that refunds will be provided for cancelled trains, or passengers can change to an alternative train. It adds that saver fare (sparpreis) tickets will no longer be subject to the specific train restriction. So apparently if you have a sparpreis ticket and your train gets cancelled you are covered.
If you buy specially discounted tickets on regional trains - like happy weekend or laender tickets, you're up the creek.
Report Abuse
Wednesday, I went by train from Basle via Mannheim to Stuttgart and Thursday afternoon/evening, I came back the same way. All trains were in time (according to Ersatzfahrplan) and I always found free seats. No problem with UBahn/S-Bahn within Stuttgart neither.
ATM's worked normally, why shouldn't they?
But I agree that the strike situation is much worse in Bavaria and within strike fan areas like Brandenburg.
Report Abuse
Well, I'm not sure that the strike situation is much worse in Bavaria . . .
It depends on which train you're taking and where you're going. Quite a lot of the trains south of Munich are run by Meridian, which is a private company and not affected by the DB strike. Other trains into Austria are Austrian Railjet, also not affected by the strike.
Report Abuse
Up here in Franonia, the S-Bahn and RE are running once an hour. RB is not running at all. ICE is running every 2+ hours it seems.
Oh well.
Kind of a moot point now as the strike will be over on Monday.
Report Abuse
Well, this strike may be over on Monday, but what about the next one. Have they reached a settlement?
Report Abuse
Dunno. Haven't checked. I'd imagine if a settlement was reached then the strike would have ended.

Your Holiness:
With the utmost respect, we address Your Holiness regarding a topic of grave concern and global scope—genetically modified (GM) crops and their impact on peoples and on nature, land, water, seeds, and economies, especially those of the Global South.
Almost twenty years of genetically modified crops… What have we gained?
Contrary to what companies promised, official statistics from the United States—the leading producer of genetically modified (GM) crops in the world—demonstrate that the truth of GM crops is that they produce less per hectare than the seeds that were already available on the market, but have resulted in an exponential increase in the use of agritoxins.
Known for its musty, woody scent, vetiver oil is also know for its fixative qualities, which means that it helps a fragrance to last longer after it is applied to the skin. Vetiver oil can be detected in the "base notes" of many perfumes or colognes. A synthetic biology company has engineered microbes to produce chemical compounds aimed at replacing traditional Vetiver production, threatening the livelihoods of thousands of farmers in Haiti, Indonesia, China, India, Japan and Brazil, among others.
This case study illustrates recent developments in synthetic biology that could impact the $35 billion natural rubber market and disrupt the livelihoods of producers. These developments impact the sustainable use of biodiversity and fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the genetic resources associated with rubber production. Natural rubber has already lost half of its market to petroleum-based synthetics. If production challenges are resolved, production via synthetic biology could erode the remaining half. Using synthetic biology, three different commercial teams are working to produce a biosynthetic isoprene that could soon impact Asia's exporters; other companies are producing biosynthetic butadiene and isobutene, also crucial to the manufacture of rubber.
Synthetic biology could impact the $22 billion global flavour and fragrance market and the livelihoods of producers of natural commodities. The world's largest producers of food ingredients, flavors and fragrances are all now partnering with Synthetic Biology companies to develop biosynthetic versions of key high value natural commodities such as saffron, vanilla, vetiver and patchouli - replacing botanical sources. These in turn are just a few our of hundreds of economically important natural plant compounds whose production may be switched to synthetic biology production in a very short time frame.
Start of an international call to stop genetically engineered organisms
spreading into the environment! Coalition calls for the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity and its Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to take action.
New developments in synthetic biology could have far-reaching impacts on the market for biodiversity-derived natural products and the livelihoods of those who produce them. Cosmetic giants like Unilver and L'Oreal can source squalene from plant sources (olive oil, amaranth seeds, wheat germ, etc.) instead of harvesting the livers of 6 million deep sea sharks per year. This is a positive development. Now, Amyris is producing squalene from engineered microbes in fermentation tanks that are fueled by biomass – up to two million tons of crushed sugarcane annually. Who decides what is the most sustainable and socially just use of biomass and farmland?
No inter-governmental body is addressing the potential impacts of synthetic biology on the conservation and use of biodiversity and on the livelihoods of those who depend on agricultural export commodities (including high-value flavors, fragrances, cosmetics, essential oils, etc). The Convention on Biological Diversity is the most appropriate forum to address this new and emerging issue.
As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published the first installment of its latest climate change Assessment Report, AR5, the final paragraph of its Summary for Policymakers – a bullet point referring to proposals for deliberately altering climate systems – has caused consternation by addressing the controversial topic of geoengineering. (1)While the paragraph does not endorse geoengineering, as had been proposed by Russia, its very presence is ringing alarm bells.
Only 10 days left to make a contribution to ETC Group's fundraising campaign to stop the release of synbiotech seeds ! Huge thanks to those who have already contributed.
Recent developments in synthetic biology could impact the $22 billion global flavour and fragrance market and the livelihoods of producers of natural commodities.

Recent Trade Shifts in the Des Moines / West Des Moines Metropolitan Region
A large expansion in shopping capacity was introduced at the Jordon Creek Town Center area of West Des Moines in late 2004. As that project developed, concerns were voiced about the impact of the development on the overall retail and service health of the region: the supposition was that gains in the newer areas would come at the expense of existing malls and trade areas in the region.This research looks at metropolitan-wide trade in fiscal 2006, one full year after the Jordon Creek expansion, compared with fiscal 2004, the fiscal year prior to the opening of the development.This analysis allows us to gauge the magnitude of trade changes accumulating to the MSA as a whole, and the extent to which trade shifted within the region. It sorts out the area trade winners and losers.

About the book:


text:
It's been a very difficult week. First my husband's uncle passed away. Alf was 80 and has Parkinson's, so it wasn't totally unexpected. But it is still painful for the family. Then our beloved Rosie got sick and we had to say goodbye to her on Wednesday. She had a uterine infection with such a high fever that surgery was not a good alternative and even antibiotics were a long shot. We decided to let her go after nearly 9 years as a member of our family. I was not prepared for the reaction I would have. As a child growing up, we really never had pets. As an adult I have had cats, but it hasn't been quite the same with cats. At least those we have had. With a dog, they love you unconditionally, whereas a cat lets you into their life - sometimes. Rosie was always a big part of the family. And when I had to let her go it was so hard. First, the procedure was excruciating. The vet had to shave all four legs in an attempt to find a way in. Finally he was able to get in and give her the injection. I had nightmares that night that I had participated in torturing her, despite the fact that she didn't seem to be reacting at all to what was happening. The house seems so empty without her. No Rosie running into the kitchen as soon as she hears the fridge open. No Rosie meeting us at the door. About the only "positive" I can see is that we don't have to vacuum on a daily basis. But I'd willingly vacuum twice a day to have her back. Rosie we love you and hope you are at peace!
Rosie RIP

David Cameron faces increased pressure to agree to take part in televised debates during the general election campaign after broadcasters put forward a revised format that includes minor parties.
The Prime Minister has insisted he would not appear if Ukip leader Nigel Farage was on the panel but Green leader Natalie Bennett was excluded – sparking claims from opponents that he was "running scared".
Broadcasters had suggested three debates: one head to head between Mr Cameron and Labour leader Ed Miliband, another also involving Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, and a third with Mr Farage thrown into the mix.
But fresh proposals – officially unconfirmed by the channels but reported by BBC News – would see the BBC and ITV staging debates involving the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Greens, Ukip, the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru.
The third debate would remain a head to head between the Tory and Labour leaders, shown on Sky and Channel 4, it was reported.
Asked if the 7-7-2 format would secure Mr Cameron's participation, a Conservative source said: "Further discussions are planned and we will obviously look at any new proposals presented by broadcasters."
In a joint statement, the broadcasters said they "remain committed to providing election debates in the run-up to the general election".
"The debates played an important role in informing millions of our viewers in 2010 and we will continue to work with all the parties to ensure that they happen again in 2015."

This is what happens when you have way too much time, a full tank of gas and a yearning for some really good Neapolitan style pizza :) We wanted to sample as wide a variety as possible so we took the advice of many on this board and added some we have been to. The recent Munchmobile pizza crawl had me itching to try this.
The crawl took us to Essex, Monmouth, Mercer and Middlesex counties in the space of about 7 hours. It was hard work but someone had to do it :) The good news is that all the pizza we sampled were very good, you won't go wrong at any of them.
At each place we ordered the same pizza, a sausage pie. Why sausage… cuz we like sausage pizza! Here is a quick summary of each place we visited and a final summary at the end. Please note that there is probably no food more "personal" than pizza. The comments that follow are from DW and me, YMMV. Here are our notes in the order we visited. The notes are for the pizza only.
MANCINNI'S COAL OVEN PIZZA, 438 Bloomfield Ave. Montclair. 973-744-4391. Our first stop for lunch. The sausage pizza here is a classic (margherita) with sausage. Crust was crispy with a nice chewy texture and nice flavor. Maybe a bit too much cheese and not enough sausage but pretty good overall. This large pizza was indeed "large" and a very good value. People were super nice.
PORTA PIZZA, 911 Kingsley St. Asbury Park. 732-776-7661. Our second stop, Porta is a nice addition to AP. We ordered the Italian Stallion which has San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, sausage and some long hots. The crust here had excellent flavor, very distinctive. Pie was a bit soggy and some pieces were missing sausage but the flavors from the ingredients were good. I have seen some reports about the help being uninterested but that was not our experience. The servers, especially Meg were great. Nice space and good vibe here.
NOMAD PIZZA, 10 East Broad St. Hopewell. 609-466-6623. Our third stop, we arrived when they opened at 5:00 pm. Ordered the Spicy Sausage which has Italian tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, Simply Grazin spicy sausage, caramelized onions, organic olive oil, organic parmesan cheese, sea salt. Crust was crispy with excellent chewy texture. Very good ratio of sauce, cheese and sausage. Not many nits to pick here. The caramelized onions really brought out the flavors. Nomad has a cult following and it's easy to see why. Nomad wins the "most original NJ Pizza". They had a special of NJ Corn Pizza, Kerr's sweet farmstand corn, wood fired and roasted with Sorrano peppers topped with Straciatella and parmesan cheese. We didn't try it but maybe next time.
OSTERIA PROCACCINI, 4428 Rt 27 North. Kingston. 609-688-0007. Our last stop of the day. Their sausage pizza is Tartufo di Gianni which has San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella, local Martin's sausage, mushrooms and white truffle oil. Crust was crispy, nice char and excellent flavor. Sauce, cheese, sausage was in good proportion, lots of sausage with excellent fennel topnote. Touch of truffle oil makes this outstanding. Got there just in time, by the time we left there was a long wait.
So, what pie was best. As I said earlier each pie was very good on its own. If we were forced to pick a rank order based on what we sampled today it would be.
Osteria Procaccini
For some reason I can't upload the photos, will try again later.
Maybe next time we hit the Trenton Tomato Pie area, Delorenzo's, Papa's etc etc. For now I need a gym workout :)

I've been told, people don't want to work. They have horrible work ethics. Government handouts are on the increase with 1 out of every two homes are receiving some sort of benefit. In Britain, it is just as bad.
Yet, I've found that anyone with any work ethics can find work quickly. Fulfilling work. Fun work.
Check below at the potential job opportunities and then show me what YOU can do and then make me a proposition I cannot refuse. At AGS Life Academy, you can have a great future. It will be fun. It will be rewarding. AND you can feel proud you were involved with it. Very proud.
You may first want to review this link about 5 questions to ask your daughter's dates/boyfriends and then consider how do YOU perform with YOUR work ethics. Why should I consider YOU to join AGS Life Academy? In other words, sell me on why you would make a great addition?
Why not offer free work as a test to show initiative on your part and then also show me where the money will come from to pay you? Let me see that YOU can think. That YOUR mind is stimulated. Have YOU taken AGS Life Academy yet?
If you'd like to assist in the effort to get these basic educational guidelines out to the largest audience possible, please write me and let me know how YOU might assist. I am eager to hear from you. I know I need help. I am more than receptive to receive it. Having said that, I am not looking for just anyone. Sell, baby, sell.
Please consider the Organization Chart for AGS Life Academy. These positions will be filled at some point. Will YOU be filling one of them? Remember, to address "billions", this will take more than a few individuals, wouldn't you think? Where could YOU fit?
Those immediately sought might fall into the following categories. Yet, I am interested in talking with anyone interested in pursuing any opportunity within the AGS Life Academy organization.
I am serious in getting this Academy to the largest audience possible. Will YOU help me?
To begin a fulfillment center to disseminate the required textbooks to the various students as requested. Objective is to acquire the various books from several sources at the best prices possible, prepare them into packages and when an order comes in to expedite them directly to the student as rapidly as possible. Preferably Fed Ex overnight or arrive to the student within 48 hours.
Several options should be offered to students – pre-owned to reduce costs, new, combination, regular 7 to 10 day shipping, overnight, 48 hours, and remarkable satisfaction guarantees for any reason, the return of books or materials will be accepted. This needless to say, would come with various costs to the student geared towards their budgets and times desired.
Obviously, the student would be charged up front for the textbooks and materials and the expediting of such and the Fulfillment Center VP would reap this entire amount and have certain expenses they would have to deduct from it leaving a profit for themselves. Currently and from recent costs determination, one would be hard pressed to spend $125 combined for all 10 textbooks and that would be very generous at that. Even at $10 profit per package, how many packages sent would be needed to earn a substantial living?
Remember, the goal of AGS Life Academy is to have 2 billion students. Think how McDonald's got started making 1/4 of a cent per hamburger as a guideline of the profitability of this fulfillment center. This is an urgent business opportunity in the fullest sense of the term with lots of tax and business and profit benefits.
As the Academy is currently free, the marketing must be as well to show it doesn't take lots of money to promote something of value. Therefore, these Specialists should be familiar with how to promote The Academy that way. To generate a ground swell involvement with little to no advertising and "normal" type marketing or Public Relations.
Those that know "Gorilla type" mass marketing, Dan Kennedy, Yanik Silver, Jay Abrahams, Claude C. Hopkins and a host of other direct response type marketing or are "circles of influence" would especially be well received.
Show me what YOU can do and then we can negotiate from there.
Individuals who know how to set up Social Networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) for the purpose to do marketing. Then, to actually do some marketing using the social networks.
To become nutrition & good health oriented and promote good health returning to the basics that promotes good health. Prefer current sincere & serious "health" professional. To begin on voluntary basis with certain guidelines and perfect credentials (already health oriented, sales, copy writing, marketing and internet savvy and aggressiveness) and goal to earn six or possibly 7 figures the first year. Otherwise, $40 to $60,000 the first year. Should plan on becoming a student as well.
Have several special projects such as, 1. creating a list of 100 action verbs, 100 adjectives and 100 nouns; 2. various studies and testings of different elements verbally, written or visually; 3. recappers of info or people to simply list out certain techniques from selected books; 4. other researchers and contributors. I have tons of things I'm still learning about the whole field of marketing. If you can help, I'd appreciate whatever help you can offer.
Basically, volunteered time to do special simple and easy items requested that can make a tremendous difference for others.
Please write and let me know what you can contribute and/or how much time you can contribute to one or more special projects.
Individuals from various backgrounds to act as 2nd opinion critiques, consultants, advisers. To receive various material, read or watch or listen to whatever and offer your thoughts, suggestions, feedback honestly telling it as YOU see it. May be a short paragraph or a full page or two or three or whatever.
Individuals to go through and proof read the entire site for proper English – grammar, spelling, AND clarification in fewer words, etc. Also, to make sure it is correct with no errors from one page to another page.
Should have a good command of vocabulary – nouns, adjectives, adverbs, action verbs to say more in less words as well as proper English AND spoken English. In other words, does it make sense and does it match with other pages without any errors?
I seek 3rd grade English without abbreviations and step-by-step plain development of thought according to guidelines mentioned elsewhere in site.
And, for that reason, an 9 or 10 year old would be ideal. If they can understand, anyone should be able to. Therefore, the best "final" proof readers should be aged 9 or 10 or be in the third grade.
An individual to edit what is provided.
Individuals to design and record short segments on video to be uploaded to site. Also, to add other appropriate photos, graphics and other videos throughout site.
I prefer professionally looking and attired in suits that are clean shaven, neat and well groomed. A Rolls Royce type high-quality professional presentation if you wish.
It is an excellent location to show YOUR wares – what YOU can do and may be used on YOUR resume, (possibly with permission).
AGS Life Academy is not listed as a legal non-profit, even though anyone that cannot afford the Academy will be allowed to take it FREE, so the contributions would not be tax-deductible. At this time. It is not designed to be a non-profit from the IRS viewpoint.
– AND … obviously, the Student who will put this program in to effect is THE major person involved in this Academy. You also can help. Please write letting me know what you as a student, like, what you don't like and how it could be improved. In other words, how can it be improved for future students? I am open to suggestions, advice, feedback and other contributions.
I will say up front, however, in many areas I do know what works and what does not work and in those areas I may be less receptive to make changes. Having said that, I will still listen though as I don't claim to know everything. Willingly, I admit I'm still learning in many ways. Even in areas I know what works and what doesn't. So, please offer your input.
Any other suggestions, comments, feedback or whatever would be greatly appreciated.
Write me please.
I am creative in pay. Initially, the funds are just not there so am looking for volunteers. As the funds become more available in the future, pay could be distributed.
One proposition is perhaps your pay being tied to the income or profit into the Academy. For example, a certain percent of the profit generated from whatever done.
For example, a researcher to generate a word list mentioned below. This endeavor could be a stand alone project that could generate substantial profits in the future in and by itself. If 5 % or 10 % of those profits were considered pay, that could be generous AND an on-going pay.
Another example with marketing specialists. Same formula. 5 % or 10 % of profits gives the specialist incentive to be good at what they do, wouldn't you agree?
Please remember that AGS Life Academy IS an educational institution online to FREELY teach principles of street smarts raising the standards of individuals within 6 months to Rolls Royce status.
Whether "Basket Case" complete overhauls to partially upgraded and / or tweaked CEOs, Board Members or for anyone else.
Everything done at The Academy should be directed to this aim and remain free to the students if necessary. A total public service give away program.

Gold price hits highest level since mid-June as the Fed continues to dither on QE timing.
The gold price moved lower on Wednesday before breaking out of its recent trading range of $1,360 – $1,370 an ounce despite the US Fed's minutes revealing very little about changes to monetary policy.
By mid-afternoon Wednesday, an ounce of gold for December delivery was changing hands for $1,379, the highest for the day and levels last seen mid-June on Comex in New York.
Precious metals investors had been worried that the July minutes of the US central bank meeting would indicate that the Fed will start tapering off its quantitative easing program as soon as next month.

Events forced me to take a second look at Google Docs.
First, the power tripped out while I was three-quarters through a long piece of writing using Microsoft Word.
Normally the application makes periodic back-ups of my work so recovery is easy. For some reason that didn't happen. I lost about 45 minutes work.
Not a major disaster I grant you, but picking up the pieces and recreating my brilliance from scratch screwed my morning.
A colleague, who uses Google Docs for all his writing, reminded me that application automatically saves every keystroke while it remains live. This makes it almost impossible to lose an entire story the way I did with Word.
Better still, if my computer or hard drive were to fail, I'd be able to carry on with a Google Doc writing job at another computer or on my iPad.
In an extreme case I could even get at the work from my phone. In fact I had to do exactly that a few days ago when I got a message letting me know I forgot to file a story. I was across town in a meeting, but managed to reach the document on my phone and send it to the editor in seconds. Try doing that with Word on a desktop.
The second event was more serious. A flash flood meant our power was off for hours one day.
I couldn't use my desktop, but managed to handle some urgent work on my phone using Google Docs. Typing on an Android phone keyboard isn't a fun experience – I wouldn't be able to keep it up for long. Nevertheless, I could keep going.
Another plus mark to Google Docs.

001. in the vimeo.com video "OAND - The Naturopathic Medicine Legacy Project (FULL)" (saved 2015-08-15), we're told:
"[from the description] OAND - The Naturopathic Medicine Legacy Project: Acquire, Transfer and Archive Naturopathic Medical Wisdom and Knowledge. Legacy Project Seminar Series [...] the seminar videos are a monthly hands-on workshop series by the Naturopathic Legacy Committee, whose mandate is to preserve and teach core clinical methodologies of Naturopathic Elders which are critical to advancing the profession [...from the video] Dr. Helena Ovens, FCAH, CCH, CBHT: Homeopathic First Aid [...] principles of naturopathic medicine [...include #3] vis medicatrix naturae: use the healing power of nature.

really: homeopathy, vitalism, iridology, and energy pendulums. By the way, it is OAND on the page "About Naturopathic Medicine" who states: "naturopathic doctors treat the root causes of disease and address preventable risk factors, using a wide range of science-and evidence-based, natural and conventional therapies." But SCIENCE isn't whatever you want it to be.

Jerome Hosmer Remick (1867–1931), after some business experience in the Whitney-Remick family lumber firm (1887-1897) bought the Whitney-Warner Publishing Company in Detroit. Having turned this company round, he founded Shapiro & Remick, Co. in 1902. When Shapiro left to found his own firm in 1906, Remick started Jerome H. Remick, and continued until 1929, when it was taken over by Warner Brothers movie company. The company was always based in Detroit, although it had offices in New York.
Remick's first hit songs were by Egbert van Alstyne: In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree (1905) then Pretty Baby and Your Eyes have Told Me So. Between 1905 and 1914 there were many further vaudevile successes such as Baby Face, I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover, Oh, You Beautiful Doll, Bye Bye Blackbird, Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet (1905), Moonlight Bay (1912) and When You Wore A Tulip (1914). The last ten years of the firm saw one Gershwin song Rialto Ripples (1917), then many "Roaring Twenties" hits by Harry Warren, Al Dubin, Gus Kahn, Richard Armstrong Whiting and others.
