This special teaching comes from Karmapa's most recent trip to the USA and has Tibetan with an English translation.
The talk was organized by a vibrant local Dharma center (that had to hire a hall to accommodate all the members present!) where the lama requested that Karmapa teach on any topic that he liked. His Holiness determined that loving kindness and compassion would be a good topic and begun a beautiful impromptu talk about how to apply the Dharma to daily life and overcome Read the rest of this article

LG announces their latest G series smartphone: the G3
LG has just announced the successor to their G2 smartphone we reviewed last month, with the all new G3. This model focuses on simplicity, with LG noting that, "Simple is the New Smart". Some of the G3's core specs include a 5.5-inch Quad HD display with a whopping 538ppi resolution, a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 3000mAh battery. It doesn't look like they changed much with the camera, as the G3 features the same 13-megapixel sensor and lens combo we saw on the LG G2, however they've added their new "Laser Auto Focus". This new AF system uses a laser beam to measure the distance to the subject, which they claim will help eliminate fuzzy photos. Like the G2, the G3 also features built-in OIS (Optical Image Stabilization); a feature more and more smartphones are including.Availability in the US is to be announced at a later date. The G3 will come in 16GB and 32GB versions, both offering expandable memory thanks to a microSD card slot (up to 128GB).
See the official LG press release below.

LONDON, May 27, 2014 -- LG Electronics (LG) today introduced to the world its eagerly anticipated G3 smartphone, the successor to the company's well-received LG G2. With launch events taking place in six cities worldwide -- London, New York, San Francisco, Seoul, Singapore and Istanbul -- LG G3 aims to redefine the definition of a global smartphone for global customers.
Developed under the Simple is the New Smart concept, LG G3 is a culmination of consumer research based on LG's product development philosophy, Learning from You. The LG G3 was empowered with the best of what current technology has to offer, providing consumers with a user experience more ambitious than anything offered before by LG.
"The smartest innovation in a fast evolving smartphone market is creating harmony between advanced technology and a simplified user experience," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "LG G3 is the result of our effort to actualize that idea into a tangible product. And we are extremely pleased with the result."
Highlights of the new G3 include:
- - 5.5-inch Quad HD display with 538ppi with four times the resolution of HD and almost two times higher resolution than a Full HD display
- - 13MP OIS+ (Optical Image Stabilizer Plus) camera with a revolutionary Laser Auto Focus that can shoot stunningly sharp images in a fraction of the time required by conventional phone cameras
- - Polished metallic skin on the rear cover that is lightweight, fingerprint-proof and most of all, beautiful
- - Floating Arc form factor that feels incredibly comfortable in one hand and incorporates the innovative design heritage of the Rear Key
- - Redesigned graphic user interface(GUI) consistent with the Simple is the New Smart concept of the G3
True-to-Life Viewing Experience
LG's reputation in the display arena is second to none and the development of the G3's breathtaking Quad HD display was the result of years of innovation in display technology. With a pixel density of 538ppi, the G3's Quad HD display sets new viewing standard producing images that are sharper and clearer than traditional smartphone displays. At 5.5-inches, LG G3 boasts a screen ratio of 76.4 percent with thin bezels all around so the phone feels as comfortable in the hand as a smaller traditional smartphone.
The high resolution display on the G3 also required LG engineers to pair it with battery technology that was just as innovative. LG equipped the G3 with a 3,000mAh removable battery and advanced optimization technologies to further maximize battery efficiency. By replacing the metal in the battery cathode with graphite, LG engineers were able to extend the lifespan of the G3's battery. The result is a battery that can keep up with the Quad HD display's ultra-high performance without losing steam in the middle of the day.
Simply Captivating
The G3's advanced 13MP OIS+ camera is designed to quickly and easily capture life's special moments as they occur, not necessarily when you want them to occur. This is made possible with G3's innovative Laser Auto Focus, the first of its kind in the smartphone industry. This technology enables the G3 to capture the best moment -- even in low light -- by measuring the distance between the subject and the camera using a laser beam. So no more fuzzy pictures of your son scoring his first football goal and or missed shots because your camera couldn't decide quickly enough which toddler in the playground to focus on. Combined with the proven and popular OIS+ technology first seen in the G Pro 2, the G3 is sure to impress even the most discerning shutterbugs.
LG also simplified the process of actually capturing those special moments. Rather than having to focus on the subject in preview mode and then pressing the shutter button, with the G3, tapping the subject to focus will simultaneously also trigger the shutter. What's more, the G3's 2.1MP front camera incorporates several new enhancements such as a larger image sensor and larger aperture for more light throughput and better-looking selfies. A unique twist has been added to the standard timed selfie mode by incorporating gesture controls -- when ready to shoot, simply clench your hand into a fist and the G3 will recognize the gesture and begin the automatic three-second countdown. It couldn't get any simpler than that.
For video, the G3 offers superior sound quality with instinctive microphones that measure the environment to identify the optimal audio level for the clearest recording. And with the built-in 1W speaker with Boost AMP, users can enjoy videos and music accompanied by richer sounds and clearer tones.
Balanced andSimplified Design Language
The Floating Arc design of the G3 with its ergonomic arch and slim side profile provides an extremely comfortable grip for everyday one-handed use. The Rear Key continues to anchor LG's innovative design language, with a newly designed power key and volume buttons as well as more premium quality materials and finish. LG also refined sophisticated technical features and advancements located on the rear by arranging them in a clean and singular layout consistent with the G3's well-balanced design language. The stylish metallic skin with matte finish which keeps the G3 looking clean and fingerprint-free will be offered in five vibrant colors: Metallic Black, Silk White, Shine Gold, Moon Violet and Burgundy Red.
To complement the new external design, LG adopted a minimalistic user interface design with flat graphics. The circular motif of the graphic assets in the new UI was derived from the shape and concept of LG's logo, reflecting its unique visual style and identity.
Simplified UX to Reflect Simple Pleasures
In addition to the advanced core technologies, LG took its Learning from You approach to a higher level with new UX features to offer G3 users a unique experience unlike any previous LG smartphone. Highlights include:
- - Smart Keyboard: Adaptive technology learns as you type for faster input with less mistakes. Smart Keyboard reduces input errors by up to 75 percent by tracking and analyzing typing habits and intuitively "knowing" what word the user intended to type. The height of the keyboard can also be adjusted to better fit the user's hands and position of the thumbs. Individual keys can also be customized with frequently used symbols for even faster input.
- - Smart Notice: Like a personal assistant, Smart Notice provides suggestions and recommendations based on user behavior, phone usage patterns and location to offer user information when it's needed the most. Smart Notice can remind you of a call you declined earlier and ask if you would like to call that person back. If you have a large number of un used files or apps on the G3 taking up valuable space, Smart Notice will ask if you would like to delete or uninstall them. But what sets Smart Notice apart from other personal assistants is its natural language capabilities. For example, instead of just displaying today's temperature and weather forecast, Smart Notice will make a recommendation such as, "You may want to take an umbrella today since it will rain this evening."
- - Smart Security: Understanding the importance of maintaining and securing confidential data when smartphones are shared, misplaced, lost or stolen, the LG G3 offers a number of enhanced security features such as:
Knock CodeTM enables users to unlock their device with a pattern of taps. Merging security and convenience, users can create a personalized code that can be entered anywhere on the screen. With the G3, users have the option of being able to use KnockON to wake the screen to check the time as well as enter the home screen directly via Knock CodeTM.
Content Lock keeps personal files safe and hidden from view when sharing the G3 with friends. When the G3 is connected to a PC, Content Lock prevents file previews so the data is still safe. The locked files can reside either on the G3's internal memory or on the microSD card.
Kill Switch gives G3 owners the ability to disable their phones remotely in the event of theft. The Kill Switch also allows content on the G3 to be wiped so personal information won't be compromised. Kill Switch also includes antivirus scanning and remote wipe and lock, among other essential features.
LG will also be offering a collection of new premium accessories to accompany the LG G3:
- - QuickCircleTM Case: Available in five colors, QuickCircleTM Case allows easy access to frequently used functions such as calling, text messaging, music and camera all from the QuickCircle window without opening the cover. In addition to the QuickCircleTM Case, LG will offer a lineup of Slim Guard Cases and premium Slim Hard Cases to protect the G3 in handsome style.
- - LG Tone InfinimTM (HBS-900): Developed in collaboration with Harman/Kardon, the Bluetooth stereo headset delivers premium audio quality sound in a stylish design. Built with retractable wire management technology and jog buttons for effortless search, Tone Infinim also features Name AlertTM to verbally notify you who is calling before you answer.
- - Wireless Charger: Compact and foldable, LG's Wireless Charger is optimized for easy portability. Compatible with Qi's wireless power charging technology, the Wireless Charger from LG makes staying powered up as convenient as possible.
Starting on May 28 in South Korea, LG G3 will begin rolling out worldwide on over 170 carriers. Additional details will be announced locally at the time of availability.

super cute super comfy
its a lighter green then the pictures show. I wish FP would not brighten their colors for the ads I don't just mean the difference in computer screens, some are punched up to look far brighter then the actual. But knowing that helps me order and i do think across the board their quality and unique offerings always brings me back to them. This jacket is worth it, every detail is perfect. The plaid inner lining makes it so comfy. I never wear an xs or s but after ordering the m/l I sized down and i still found it too roomy to look great on me. Maybe because i am short. The burgundy zipper and detail on the front is perfect against the army green.
Perfect jacket!
I bought this in an xs/s which I was hesitant about because I am usually a M in tops, but it fits perfectly because it is made to be a little roomy/oversized. I love the grunge style and it is the perfect jacket to fit with an effortless rock/grunge look! The plaid lining on the inside is also very soft and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this!

I just started to make my own house music. If you like, tell me what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocb3ZssZkUU btw, I hope this post is according to the rules
Hey dude, I'm not a house expert but do feel this track needs a little more to hold it together, it just feels a little disjointed flipping from one beat to another. I like your big beat in the background though. Defo keep going though, think there are some nice elements which if played around with could make a great track. Mack

After an absolutely MANIC week of catching up after our market trip (putting all the market orders in the computer, packing new orders, returning a week's worth of phone calls & emails, packing new orders, returning market props to attic, making more kits so we can pack more orders...) it was time to take a break and hang with our friends!!
Several years ago Alan talked me into a BIG TV in our family room. It doesn't really add to the aesthetics of the room ): but it sure has added to our social life! A bunch of our friends are also Kansas State fans, so whoever is available comes to our house to watch all the football and basketball games. (They even know where the key is, if we're running a little late!). The best part is...we have a "ball" cheering, celebrating, and even commiserating together. We all wear our obnoxious purple clothing and snack our way through all the Wildcat victories! There's always room for a loyal fan...you might not get the most coveted seats (Vicki gets the toasty seat in front of the fireplace, Alan gets the chair next to the little ottoman which he uses for a drum)...but wear your PURPLE and you are welcome!

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Christina LewisThis is one of the first things I did with a new trick a friend showed me, mainly a little button in photoshop called 'multiply.' In my stories, there is an alien race called the 'Teur that have retractble claws. With the rise of X-men popularity upon us, I have heard more than my share of 'oh, retractable claws. Like Wolverine?' The answer to that is, 'no,' and in this picture one can get a very basic idea of how the claws work.

In a volume which opens with reports of information contained in the famous 'Santangel letter' and closes with the announcements of Cortes's conquests in Mexico and Magellan's circumnavigation, historian Geoffrey Symcox presents in chronological order a collection of original texts, accompanied by English translations, detailing the reactions of Italian diplomats, merchants, and the papacy to the news of Columbus's explorations in America and subsequent events down to the conquest of Mexico. These documents form part of the process by which the news of the lands and people of the Americas spread to the courts, chanceries, and educated public of the Italian states and reveal that news of the Americas -- their flora and fauna, their exotic inhabitants, their fabled wealth -- spread swiftly to a public hungry for information. But the collection also suggests that at least until the mid-sixteenth century the achievements of Columbus and his successors remained of secondary concern to statesmen and citizens seeking to survive as their stronger neighbours fought for hegemony in the Italian peninsula and in the Mediterranean.P D Diehl is the author of 'Italian Reports on America, 1493-1520: Letters, Dispatches, and Papal Bulls (Repertorium Columbianum)', published 2001 under ISBN 9782503511801 and ISBN 2503511805.

Picture of Boa Hancock One Piece
Hancock managed to fall for basically the only man in the entire one piece universe that wouldn't date her. Or even find her attractive. That man would be Monkey D. Luffy. I honestly feel a little bad, out of everyone she chose the asexual guy. Not that there's anything wrong with Luffy being asexual its just ironic that the most beautiful lady in the world loves him and he doesn't care whatsoever.
Actually, i think Luffy is meatsexual.

Look at that leg. I mean, dang that leg.
By the way, that snake's name is Salome and that snake is the cutest thing ever. Also watch out, Hancock may eat you alive if she has that expression on, just a friendly warning.
Being the snake princess of amazon lily and everyone adoring her she became just a tad big headed. Just a tad.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Poindexter Early OriginsThe surname Poindexter was first found in on the Island of Jersey where the earliest record of the names was of Geoffrey and Raoul Poingdestre as land owners in Jersey in 1250. Looking back further, the Pipe Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy for the Reign of Henry ll, 1180 and 1184 list Ricardus Poingdestre, in the Bayeux District of the Bessin in Normandy (Lower Normandy) in 1180 and in 1195. Another reference confirms this entry but has modernized the spelling to Richard Poindestre and confirmed the year 1180. [1]CITATION[CLOSE] The Norman People and Their Existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the United States Of America. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, 1975. Print. (ISBN 0-8063-0636-X) Poindexter Spelling VariationsPoindexter Spelling VariationsEndless spelling variations are a prevailing characteristic of Norman surnames. Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules, and the introduction of Norman French added an unfamiliar ingredient to the English linguistic stew. French and Latin, the languages of the court, also influenced spellings. Finally, Medieval scribes generally spelled words according to how they sounded, so one person was often referred to by different spellings in different documents. The name has been spelled Poindexter, Poingdester, Poingdestre, Puddister and many more.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationTo escape the political and religious persecution within England at the time, many English families left for the various British colonies abroad. The voyage was extremely difficult, though, and the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving. But for those who made it, the trip was most often worth it. Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States.

MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

Three Basic Considerations Markets targeted. Product and its characteristics. Company resources and policy.
Philip Kotler Defining a Product A product is anything that can be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use or consumption; it includes physical objects, services, personalities, places, organisations and ideas.
Product Variables The Core Product – a product or services that is essentially the same as that of competitors. The Tangible Product – a product or service that is differentiated composition, origin, or tangible features from competing products. The Augmented Product – a product or service which is serviced after the sale and carries a warrantee from the producer, producing a continuing relationship with the seller.
Standardisation and Adaptation The fundamental international product decision after the decision to internationalize. International market approach alternatives to adaptation. – Sell the product as it is internationally. – Modify product for different countries or regions. – Design new products for foreign markets. – Incorporate all differences into one product and introduce it globally.
Standardisation and Adaptation FACTORS ENCOURAGING STANDARDIZATION Economies of scale in production Economies in product R&D Economies in marketing "Shrinking" of the world marketplace/economic integration Global competitions FACTORS ENCOURAGING ADAPTATION Differing use conditions Government and regulatory influences Differing consumer behavior patterns Local competition True to the marketing concept
Strategic Adaptation to Foreign Markets Low High Industrial/ Technology Intensive Consumer Need for Adaptation Degree of Cultural Grounding Nature of Product Source: Adapted from W. Chan Kim and R. A. Mauborgne, "Cross-Cultural Strategies," Journal of Business Strategy 7 (Spring 1987): 31; and John A. Quelch and Edward J. Hoff, "Customizing Global Marketing," Harvard Business Review 64 (May-June 1986): 92-101.
Factors Affecting Adaptation Decision to Alter Domestic Product SOURCE: Adapted from V.Yorio, Adapting Products for Export (New York; Conference Board, 1983), 7. Reprinted with permission
The Market Environment Government Regulations – Political and social agendas often dictate regulatory requirements. Nontariff Barriers – Product standards, testing, subsidized local products. Customer Characteristics, Expectations, and Preferences – Physical size, local behaviors, tastes, attitudes, and traditions. – Consumption patterns, psychosocial characteristics, and general cultural criteria.
The Market Environment Economic Development – The stage of economic development affects the market size and demand characteristics. Backward innovation of the product may be required to meet local requirements. Competitive offerings – Monitoring competing local products is critical in adjusting the product for competitive advantage. Climate and geography – Local climatic conditions and terrain features can make products vulnerable to damage.
Product Characteristics Product Constituents Branding Packaging Appearance Method of Operation or Usage Quality Service Country-of-Origin Effects
Product Constituents and Branding Product ingredients must not violate local legal regulations and social or religious customs. Care must be taken that the brand in name, symbol, sign, or design does not offend the local customer. Trademarks are especially vulnerable to counterfeiters. Selecting the global brand name – Translation – Transliteration – Transparency – Transculture
Packaging and Appearance Packaging serves three major functions: – Protection Improper handling and pilferage – Promotion Language and symbols – User convenience Packaging aesthetics- color and shape, overall size, and purchase quantity Adaptations in styling, color, size, and other appearance features play an importance role in how a consumer perceives a product.
Method of Operation and Usage The product that is operable in in the domestic market may not be operable in the foreign market. Electrical voltages and connectors vary around the world. English and metric standards are not comparable. Software may have to be translated into the local language.
Quality and Service Quality is essential to marketing products internationally, especially in markets where price is an important competitive factor. ISO compliance may be required by buyers. Servicing products in international markets requires producers to develop local repair staffs.
Country-of-Origin Effects The origin of a product may have a strong effect on consumer perceptions and biases about foreign products. "Mad Cow" Swiss France
Company Considerations Organizational capabilities? Is it worth it? Can we afford not to do it? Can a specific return-on-investment (ROI) be attained? Quality, price, and user perceptions? Warranties? Managerial talent?
Product Counterfeiting Costs U.S. firms over $60 billion a year In 2001, losses to software piracy were more than 11 billion dollars. Counterfeiting is estimated at 2% to 5% of total world trade annually. The largest number of counterfeit goods come from: – China – Brazil – Taiwan – Korea – India
Fighting Product Counterfeiting – Secure valuable intellectual property rights patent applications registration of trademarks mask works – Act to enforce legislative action bilateral and multilateral negotiations joint private sector action individual company measures
Four Product Alternatives for International Markets Selling the product "as is", in the international marketplace. Modifying products for different countries and/or regions. Designing new products for foreign markets. Incorporating all the differences into one product design and introducing a global product.
Four Product Categories: Local products: perceived as having potential only in a single national market International products: Products having potential for a number of national markets Multinational products: Products adapted to the perceived unique characteristics of national markets Global products: Products designed to meet the needs of a global market segment
The Role of Brands A brand is a distinguishing name and/or symbol (such as a logo, trademark or package design) intended to identify the goods or services of either one seller or a group of sellers, and to differentiate those goods or services from those of competitors. A brand thus signals to the customer the source of the product, and protects both the customer and the producer from competitors who would attempt to provide products that appear to be identical.
The International Brand: Four Approaches Translation. Transliteration testing existing brand name for connotative meaning, e.g., "flic" pen. Transparency, i.e., meaningless brand name to minimize complexities. Transculture. Foreign language name forms a brand, e.g., vodka or perfume.
Brand Name Selection Criteria Easy to learn and memorize. Suggest a product class. Support a symbol or logo. Suggest associations. Be credible. Be distinctive. Be available and legally protectable.
What Is Brand Equity? The set of brand assets and liabilities linked to the brand - its name and symbols - that add value to, or subtract value from, a product or service. These assets include brand loyalty, name awareness, perceived quality and associations.
Brand Equity Assets Brand Loyalty. Awareness of Brand Name and Symbols. Perceived Quality. Associations. Others, e.g., patents, trademarks, channel relationships.
Export Pricing
Price Dynamics – Pricing is the only revenue generating element of the marketing mix. – Pricing is a means of attracting and communicating an offer to a potential buyer. – Pricing is a competitive tool. – Pricing can be used to position the product or service in the marketplace.
Price Dynamics Skimming – Using high-priced unique products to achieve the highest possible contribution in a short initial time period, then gradually lowering the price as the market. Market Pricing – Following competitive pricing in the target market; adjusting production and marketing mix to competitive conditions. Penetration Pricing – Offering low pricing to generate volume sales which hopefully will compensate for low margins
The Setting of Export Prices EXTERNAL 1Market-related factors Nature of demand/target audience characteristics Government regulations (e.g., duties) Exchange rate stability 2Industry-related factors Competition intensity Nature of competition INTERNAL 1Marketing Mix Product (e.g., old/new; standardized/differentiated Distribution system (e.g., length) Promotion needs (e.g., sales efforts) 2Company characteristics Extent of internationalization Countries exported to 3Management attitudes Importance of exports Overall price position of firm ASSESSMENT OF PRICING ENVIRONMENTS Pricing Policy Selection Pricing Strategy Determination Setting of Specific Price
The Setting of Export Prices Customer Purchase Factors ability to pay price-quality relationship reaction to marketing mix market support Pricing Policies Factors profit maximization market share survival return on investment competitive policies – copy competitive pricing – follow competitive pricing – price to discourage competitive entry
Export Pricing Strategy Cost-oriented pricing – Standard worldwide price- regardless of buyer's location in the market(s) – Dual pricing differentiates between domestic and export prices Cost-plus method allocates domestic and foreign costs to the product. Marginal cost method considers direct costs of producing and selling exports as floor (lowest) price. Market-differentiated pricing – based on the dynamics of the marketplace changes in competition, exchange rates, etc.
Export-Related Costs Export-related costs – Cost of modifying a product for a foreign market – Operational costs of exporting – Cost incurred in entering the foreign market Price escalation for exports results from – Clear-cut and hidden costs Methods for combating price escalation – Reorganize the channel of distribution – Product adaptation – Change tariff or tax classifications – Overseas assembly or production
Terms of Sale Incoterms are the internationally accepted standard definitions for terms of sale set by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) since 1936. Incoterms – exworks (EXW) – free carrier (FCA) – free alongside ship (FAS) – free on board (FOB) – cost and freight (CFR) – delivered duty paid (DDP) – delivered duty unpaid (DDU)
Negotiating Terms of Payment Considerations – The amount of payment and the need for protection. – Terms offered by competitors. – Practices in the industry. – Capacity for financing international transactions. – Relative strength of the parties involved.
The Risk Triangle BUYER'S PERSPECTIVE SELLER'S PERSPECTIVE Source: Adapted from Chase Manhattan Bank, Dynamics of Trade Finance (New York: Chase Manhattan Bank, 1984),5
Terms of Payment Types of Payment – Cash in Advance Not widely used except for first time transactions – Letter of Credit Promise to pay Irrevocable, confirmed, revolving – Drafts Similar to personal check Must obtain shipping documents prior to delivery – Documentary collection Bank acts as collection agent Draft may be sold at discounted rate for immediate cash
Managing Foreign Exchange Risk Forward rate exchange market – "the exchange of currencies on a future date at an agreed upon exchange rate" Spot rate transaction – "the exchange of currencies for immediate delivery" Possible price manipulation responses to currency movements – Make no change in the dollar price (pass-through). – Decrease the export price (absorption). – Pass-through only a portion of the increase.
Exporter Strategies Under Varying Currency Conditions WEAK POSITION Stress price benefits Expand product line Shift sourcing to domestic market Cash-for-goods trade Full costing Speed repatriation Minimize expenditure in local currency STRONG POSITION Non-price competition Improve productivity/ cost reduction Sourcing overseas Prioritize exports Countertrade with weak currency countries Marginal-cost pricing Slow collections Buy needed services abroad
Price Negotiations Be aware that price is only one part of a comprehensive package. Avoid early price concessions. Carefully consider concessions that reduce price or profitability. – discounts, payment terms, product features Know conditions in importer's market. Focus negotiations first on substantive issues (quality and delivery), then on price.
Dumping Ranges of dumping – Predatory dumping is intentional selling at a loss to increase market share – Unintentional dumping occurs when market factors cause the import's selling price to fall below prices in the exporter's home market Remedies for dumping – Antidumping duty are levied on imported goods sold at less than fair market value – Countervailing duties are imposed on imports which are subsidized in the exporter's home country

There seems to be no end to the variety of Swiss rail passes. I am wondering if there's an easy way to work out the best one to get. Three adults (1 is 75 but it doesn't seem to give any age discounts) are going (and travelling together) on May15. We plan to get train (from Paris) to Basel, then to Interlaken, then a bus to a campsite. We have nowhere particular to travel to, except to go to Interlaken itself on Sunday. We are considering doing some scenic train journeys, maybe including cable car &/or funicular railway trip. After 5 nights in the mobile home, we have to get to Chur for the Bernina Express. I have paid and reserved our seats but not yet bought any tickets. The only way to get to Chur (from near Interlaken) for the 08:37 Bernina Express to Tirano seems to be to hire a car, this is do-able as some hirers allow one-way hire.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, especially: is there a way to work out if, for example, we should use the Swiss pass, or maybe an interrail, how do they compare? The flexi-interrail seems to be cheaper than the flexi Swiss pass, but maybe it offers fewer benefits. There's a Swiss transfer ticket, but maybe you need to enter & exit the country at the same place for that one. I'm really not sure. Then there are various half-fare cards & combinations. It's a minefield!

Best one = lowest cost, covers the most, etc?
These products are usage model based. It is difficult to compare the costs if you are still at a "maybe including cable car &/or funicular railway trips" stage. Because these high altitude transports are costly, uncertainty in this area leaves a big variation in cost estimates with different pass products.
There is no way out of doing heavy math work by layout out exactly where you would use them. -

Hi Ricardo_215,
Unfortunately, I don't think there's an easy way to do this. Whenever I had to work it out, I first got all the fares for all the trips I intended to make (both into the mountains or just between cities). Then I plotted them all on a spreadsheet to show every possible combination and possibility.
Whenever I did the math, the answer was always that the Half Fare Card was cheapest for my trips, so these days I just get the HFC. Usually it was cheapest by less than 100 chf, though.
Oh, for the Transfer Ticket, no, you can enter and leave the country by different border points. But, obviously, for that to be effective, your first stop and last stop have to be some distance from the border point.
Have fun as you plan!

Thanks to greg, swandav2000 & neckervd for all those tips. I will check the websites & "do the maths" (sorry I'm from UK!) but I was rather hoping there was some easy or obvious way that I was missing! Maybe I was a bit hasty in booking the 08:32 (not 08:37 apparently)Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano as I've since discovered there are many other "standard" trains along that route. But according to neckervd we could actually do it all by train from Interlaken and pick up the Bernina Express at St. Moritz. However the information I have is that the Bernina Express leaves Chur at 08:32 and arrives Tirano at 12:36 (not 13:26). Maybe that's the time given on our reservations; I already paid the CHF42 for 3 reservations. I've also already booked the 16:05 from Milan Centrale to Venice. I got a bit worried when the connecting local train (dep Tirano 13:10, arr Milano Centrale 15:40) does not show on bahn.com, however it does show on trenitalia.com so I hope that's ok. Whoops this is a Swiss forum & I'm going into Italy (but it's part of the same trip!)
Well I will continue to research things & if any of you or anyone else wants to chip in with some advice, feel free! Thanks -

Have a look at the timetables
and you will see that
1. the easest access itinerary from Interlaken to Bernina Express goes not via Zurich - Chur, but via Milan - Tirano:
Interlaken dp 6.00 - Tirano 12.50/14.04 - Bernina Express - Chur ar 18.27
2. There are 4 daily Bernina Express trains in the second half of May: 1 starts at Chur at 8.32 and arrives at Tirano at 12.36. The other 3 start at St. Moritz at 9.29, 11.22, 15.22 and arrive at Tirano at 12.02. 13.26, 17.27; they can all be reached by connecting trains from Chur (dp 6.44, 8.58,12.58).
3. You booked the only one which can not NOT be reached from Interlaken the same day.
4. Standard trains (no reservation fee) along the Bernina Express route run almost every hr (first departure from Chur 5am, last departure 5pm). You will have to change trains twice in small stations at the same platform, however.
5. Trains between Milan and Tirano (2 1/2 hrs journey) run every 2 hrs:
Milan dp between 6.20am and 6.20pm
Tirano dp between 7.10am and 7.10pm
6. Connections Tirano - Venice SL:
Tirano dp 13.10, 15.10, 17.10 - Venice ar 18.40, 20.48, 22.40, change at Milano C
Tirano dp 14.35 - Venice ar 20.10, change at Edolo and Brescia.
7. Most scenic itinerary Interlaken - Bernina - Venice:
Interlaken dp 6.00 - Lake Maggiore - Milan - Lake Como -Tirano 12.50/13.40 - Bernina Pass - Pontresina 15.50/16.02 - Zernez 16.46/17.15 - Ofen Pass - Mals 18.46/19.03 - Bolzano/Bozen 20.59/8.31am - Venice ar 11.40
All these long train rides are exhausting. The real gems along the whole itinerary are not alongside the railway tracks and can only be reached by connecting cableways, buses or Lake Como boats. For that you should leave the train from time to time. -

Then there are various half-fare cards & combinations. It's a minefield!>
And the Swiss Card that provides exactly the same benefits as the Half-Fare Card but also includes two train trips - one to start from any obrder or airport to anyplace in Switzerland and then one out to any border station or airport in Switzerland - like Chur to Tirano could be your last 100% covered trip and if your first trip is longish then the Swiss Card could be better overall than the Half-Fare Card - cheaper so yes research is required.
The easy way is the Swiss Pass and with your travels outlined it seems you cannot go to wrong with that - even if it costs a few more francs I always find after using umpteen Swiss Passes that I travel more than I thought I would - especially with a pass that covers it! And you can just hop on any train anytime with few exceptions.
Anyway maybe these fine imo sites can help you figure it all out - www.swisstravelsystem.com (on the Bernina Express link you can book a seat without having a ticket - saying you will have a pass I think - www.budgeteuropetravel.com; www.seat61.com and www.ricksteves.com. And on the Bernina Pass rail route - to me the most awesomely scenic one in Europe that I have been on in years of incessant training around Europe - also have regular local trains running thru the exact same scenery - I actually prefer the locals because IME the official trains are often chock full so you are stuck in your seat - on the more sparsely patronized locals - just hop on or off with any pass or ticket - I can hop between sides of the train as scenery dictates, etc. (though the best scenery is largely on the west side - leftside when going to Tirano.
The only way to get to Chur (from near Interlaken) for the 08:37 Bernina Express to Tirano seems to be to hire a car, this is do-able as some hirers allow one-way hire.>
No you can easily go by train from Interlaken via Zurich or take a bus from Meiringen to Goschenen, then a shuttle train up to Andermatt to join the Glacier Express train route (also with local trains) to Reichenau - where you can join the Albula Pass line to St Moritz or Pontresina without going to Chur. -

Milan at the very most but even then that is a stretch - I suggest Ricardo ditch the Bernina as lovely as it is and head straight away from Interlaken via Spiez, Visp/Brig/Domodossola to Milan and Venice and that is a long several hour day.
Or plan an overnight in St Moritz area. -

thanks for the info on the date and even that is subject to weather - I turned up for the Three Pass Bus departure in Meiringen one morning to find out the buses had been scrubbed because of snow - usually run thru September or so but on this day in early September some passes they said were blocked by snow.
Bit if the buses are running that is a neat way to go from Interlaken viua Meiringen then bus up to Goschenen - shuttle train to Andermatt and how the Glacier Express or other trains on that route to St Moritz - the bus climb from Meiringen to Goschenen is awesome and tortuous with the iconic horns on the iconic yellow postal buses being sounded at every blind hairpin tour. -

Wow, it seems I should have been planning this trip months ago. Thanks to PalenQ neckervd, greg & swandav2000. It seems from all this that I should have studied maps and timetables more carefully before booking tickets. This started out as a "How about a short break in Venice?" and kind of ... grew ... into a "we could do a few days in Switzerland on the way..." So now the accommodation is booked, also the 16:05 train from Milan to Venice (that was only €9 each). I already booked the seats for the 08:32 Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano; it cost 42 CHF for the 3 seats. I suppose I could change the route, but if I do I won't get a refund on the reservations.
Between you all there are now so many ideas now running around my head - maybe another trip is in order. Also, I see that there is a local pass just for the area around where we are staying near Interlaken, the Bernese Oberland pass, which may suit us instead. (Thanks neckervd) -
Report Abuse
there is also the Jungfraubahn Pass which is more limited in area than the Berner Oberland Pass but covers much more right in the Jungfrau area.
Report Abuse
Both of those passes are rather expensive so unless spending several days in the area just buy regular tickets.
Report Abuse
as you can see they are fairly expensive but some of the trains covered are also very expensive - but I think you still have to pay a good chunk to ride trains like the Junfraujoch train - you have to be doing several trips I think to make that pass pay off but could well do it! -
Report Abuse
and there is currently a special on Swiss Passes - a 2-day flexipass that is on sale thru I think sometime this spring and can be used anytime within six months or so after - two unlimited travel days and then 50% off on everything that moves in Switzerland just about in between the first and last unlimited travel day. Swiss Pass specials often appear in the spring IME so check out the various sources.

Your Turn
24 01 2017Washington, D.C.
Four years ago, the red party got their autopsy wrong. Mostly due to donor pressure, they deliberately misdiagnosed the cause of death, and promised to double down on that which caused them to lose, that which crucially marginal voters found abhorrent. Luckily for the red party, an orange crowned spirit descended from the sky and down an escalator to save them from themselves in the time since then.
Now, it's the blue party's turn to get their autopsy wrong, and the double down on that which caused them to lose.

Coronal Options
We were lectured in the current year that white evangelical/born-again voters would sour on Trump because of his personal life and his social issue liberalism.
In 2012, Romney carried 78% of them. That matched the record for that group voting red, with Bush 2004. That was important, because there was a fashionable theory that white evangelical/born-again voters soured on a Mormon, and this statistic refuted that.
That record is now gone.
Trump got 81% of them.
Many of those 81 percent are accommodating cultural changes in America that are deeply problematic. Liberals have been trying to convince Americans, and evangelicals in particular, that America is not a Christian nation. The 2016 election was evangelicals saying, "Yeah, you're right! We can't expect to have someone who is Christian like us. We can't expect to have someone with a perfect family life. What we can expect is someone who can look out for us, just like every other group in this country is looking for a candidate who will look out for them."
An easier way to say this is that when the traditional Evangelical issue base is taken off the table, they won't stay home, but instead fall back on populism and nationalism in other issues. And that's how you get to 81%. This also means that the very people who have been demanding that these issues are taken off the table can't turn right around and blame the people they wanted not to have this choice for not thinking about these things when casting their votes. It was like: "The social issues shouldn't matter anymore" on the one hand, but "How could you vote for such a lecher like Trump?" on the other hand.

Aww, isn't that cute? He's in the same line of work I am, (or at least I am for two more days), and he's goosing a pseudo-scientific narrative around his and his firm's ideological-professional interests! They're so cherubic when they do that!
The cynic in me (though I repeat myself) senses that this is far more a paid advertisement than a bona fide op-ed.
"But look but look but look! Trump didn't do as well as Romney south of Nashville and north of Columbus!"
That's right, President Romney does have that to his credit.

Today is Sadie Hawkins Day! Did you know that Sadie Hawkins Day first appeared in the classic hillbilly comic strip Li'l Abner in 1937? In the original story, Sadie's father was worried that she would never be married, so he announced a race for all of the town's eligible bachelors. Sadie was ordered to run after them, and he declared that, "Th' one she ketches'll be her husbin."
Sadie Hawkins Day is recognized as an American folk event in which girls take the initiative to ask a boy out for a date (something that was unheard of in 1937). Participate in this unique tradition today by attending a Sadie Hawkins dance or talk to that crush you've been eyeing.

A doption of a statement calling cigaret smoking a hazard to health, approval of an AMAsponsored national accreditation system for continuing education programs for physicians, and adoption of a resolution opposing racial discrimination in state and county medical societies were among major actions of the American Medical Association House of Delegates during the AMA's 113th Annual Convention held June 21 through 25 in San Francisco.
Donovan Ward, MD, Dubuque, Iowa, was chosen AMA President-Elect by the house. Ward will take office in June, 1965 as successor to Norman A. Welch, MD, Boston, who was inaugurated on June 23.
The House adopted a statement which said that the AMA "is on record and does recognize a significant relationship between cigaret smoking and the incidence of lung cancer and certain other diseases, and that cigaret smoking is a serious health hazard."
It recommended that the AMA develop programs to disseminate health education

Who we are and what we are about.
through the art of living sideways.
- Every month we have a lead mentor who oversee's our entire kids environment. All lead mentors and mentors will be wearing "green" shirts with the word "mentor" on them.
- If your a 1st time guest the "lead mentor" will guide you through the check in process and answer any and all questions for you.
- There is a Nursery for infant to 18 months.
- We do host a space for walkers as well.
- Kids 2-3 year check in and enter their designated environment. (to check in follow signs or find host in blue shirts to direct you)
- Kids 4-5 year check in and enter their designated environment. (to check in follow signs or find host in blue shirts to direct you.)
- Kids from K -5th grade check in and then participate in the song portion of the gathering. At some point in the gathering someone from our team will publicly direct the K-5th kids to meet the lead mentor of the month at the main doors of the gathering space so they can head off to their environments.
- Every single environment curated for kids were intentionally imagined.
- We explored and evolved. Choosing visible & vibrant color palette, environmental decor, modular decor/furniture, and tactile learning materials for both mentor and child.
- We decided that the safety, security, and inclusivity of every child should be the elephant in the room. Even to the chagrin of some.
- A slow dismantling is taking place. Mainly that strange belief that if "I serve/mentor kids I'll miss out on whats happening in the main gathering." Let it be known; serving/mentoring kids is being part of the main gathering!!
- Digging up thought from an old French philosophers & Jesuit priest we felt might convey a good anthem to raise, "The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope" [Teilhard de Chardin]. Here's to the ever-present future most commonly found living sideways.
- Change is continual, failure is common, and imperfection is perfect. Your child's or your experience might not always be 100% heavenly, but we hope you taste some.
"But just as you excel in everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us – see that you also excel in this grace of giving." 2 Cor. 8:7 (NIV)

Music Preview: Joan Baez says hard times are over Friday, March 08, 2002 By John Hayes, Post-Gazette Staff Writer
Before Bobby Zimmerman left his college rock band to become Bob Dylan, Joan Baez was already the golden girl of Greenwich Village's burgeoning folk scene. Before they became an item and he got all the credit for dragging rock out of its infancy, she was already experimenting with poppy rhythms. Before the peace movement, the ERA and the era of the singer-songwriter, Baez had already been there and had done that, and was surprised to turn and find entire movements following her.
Four decades into her career, Baez is still an accidental leader, introducing concert audiences to a new crop of songwriters. She's recording a new album, reissuing classics from her early catalog including previously unreleased music, and speaking freely about then and now and what's to come.
You sound tired.
I just got back from the gym and my voice is croaky.
I have heard your voice described in many ways ...
Croaky? [Laughs.]
... but never quite like that. I was sorry to hear about your sister [Mimi] dying last year. There's a rock 'n' roll myth, from the days when rock and folk were on opposite sides of a spectrum, about you and Mimi and her one-time husband Richard [Farina]. The story is that Richard was talking about blending the intellectual lyrics of folk with more commercial pop music long before anybody started doing it. Was that his idea?
WITH: Tracy Grammer, Richard Shindell and Dave Carter
WHERE: Palace Theatre, Greensburg
WHEN: 8 tonight
TICKETS: $25 to $35. 724-836-8000.
WEB SITE: www.joanbaez.com
1960 album "Joan Baez"
An antidote to the bubble-gum era? I don't think so. He was an interesting guy. He was pretty wacky. He mostly just talked. Out of that often came some very interesting things. I was in high school on the West Coast [when the folk movement started], and when I hit Cambridge, there was the phenomenon of the coffeeshops. But I didn't hang out with intellectuals, so I wouldn't have heard about it, anyway. I never knew anything about the songs that I sang. I never talked about music. A lot of things just slipped past me.
You were recording with Richard when he died [in a 1966 motorcycle accident]. Some people have speculated that it could have been an important album.
That's funny. I'm glad it never got out.
It was that bad?
Yeah. [Laughs.] It was a very strange place, musically. We were just hanging out in the house together -- Mimi and him and other folks and myself. What I was listening to was [Burt Bacharach] and Dionne Warwick, so that's what I sang. But I wasn't any good at it.
Tell me about the new Vanguard reissues ("Joan Baez," 1960; "Joan Baez, Vol. 2," 1961).
I love them. I'm really happy I kept [ownership of] about two-thirds of my records.
There's some new material that was never released.
Yes there is, and I'm sure there's more stuff out there stashed away that we either can't find or disappeared. Some of these songs, I have no memory of at all. And they're beautiful. "I Once Loved a Boy" [from "Vol. 2"] -- oh Jesus! -- I mean, it's spectacular to me listening, divorcing myself from who it is. Each record will have something that wasn't released on it. I never listened to them until about three years ago. I remember distinctly because I was sleeping in my tree house and thought I would take the album up there ...
Umm, you have a tree house?
Yeah. I sleep in it all summer. It doesn't have a roof on it, so when it rains I have to go inside. [Laughs.] You know those relaxation tapes that say, go to someplace where you're really happy? For me, it's out there in my tree house with a handful of bird seed and a chickadee on my hand. I also have an outside bed over my mother's house, which is just below me [outside of San Francisco].
You are the nature girl, aren't you?
I am a real nature girl. I love sleeping in the snow and stuff like that. So, I'm back in my tree house, comfy and happy, and I'm listening to those albums. It did take me back, yeah. And once in a while, I'd wish I didn't speed up so much when I was playing, because I always speeded up.
And then there came a period [in the '80s] when I didn't like my voice. I'm sure it was a psychological low. It was, I suppose, being that famous that young, I didn't understand when that started to change.
The time period when I wasn't happy with [the voice] was just a time when I wasn't very happy. I'm happy to talk about it, because it's useful for people. I finally got to the real demons that caused the symptomatic stuff for me that nobody knew about -- panic attacks and phobias, insomnia and stuff. That's all gone now. It's my opinion that the demons don't go until you really rip them out by the roots.
How long did that last?
It's still going on to some degree, but I would say getting through the tunnel to daylight took about seven or eight years. It was my choice and the choice of my therapist that I didn't want to have my life stop. But it was difficult, very difficult.
Was songwriting cathartic for you?
I wasn't writing then. I think the last songs that I wrote were on "Play Me Backwards" [1992, Virgin]. I didn't want to do anything that was difficult anymore because it was difficult enough to deal with the changes and the shock and the frightening stuff that went with the music.
So touring and singing other peoples' songs kept a semblance of normality in your life.
Yeah, in a way. But I thought of it as, that's what I do. I said, listen, I don't want to write songs anymore -- push me out on stage and I'll sing. But my manager has come up with some wonderful ideas.
Like the tours showcasing new singer-songwriters?
People said I'm mentoring these people. That's just a load of BS. I mean, I love them. Dar Williams was on tour with me; Richard Shindell is with us now. I never would have met [them] if I hadn't gone in this direction.
So during a period when you're not writing, you bring songwriters out so there's at least something new to offer to the shows.
Exactly. With most of them, I have some kind of a relationship that continues.
You're working on a new album.
Uh-huh. About half of it is made. None of this is sure, but there are six songs down and I like them. And I did it fast, in five days. That's what I want to do. I'm not very ambitious. I think ambition is a killer, the whole American competitive stuff. If I'm ambitious, I don't enjoy the people who are around me.
So you'd say you're in a comfortable place in your career?
Very comfortable. This way, I'm happy when I'm on stage.
What's coming up that I don't know about that's interesting?
The state of the world is interesting. For me, I always try to respond to it. It isn't terribly clear to me yet, but I feel that until we're really interested enough in world peace to listen to some Nobel Peace Prize winners instead of the generals, then I think we're gonna stay in trouble.
Are you still optimistic about people after all this time?
I was never optimistic. About people, yes. About human behavior, no. Rather than being optimistic about the world, I think I'm realistic. I don't have to be a raving optimist. I think you have to know there's hope, looking in the face of what looks like hopelessness. ... Any social change, small or large, usually starts with two or three people.
