I learned about the product while building a site for somebody else (theperfectgrain.com). The product is called The Signature Grain and reading about it has gotten me very interested in chia. This is suppose to be better than Salba but I’m not that familiar with Salba either. (I asked about the difference in a separate question)
I’m telling you….humans are a bunch of dorks. Nature bestows upon us one of the healthiest things to eat on the planet and what do we do with it? We play with it like Sea Monkeys. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go to the site & check it out. I seriously can’t wait to try it for a few weeks. I’m going to feed it to ALL my family members…even my pets…it’s suppose to be good for them too…lol
Anyway…I signed up, but not as a superflydiamondassociate or whatever…just a distributor so I could at least get myself a deal on this stuff. I sure would like to know what the rest of the world thinks about it though.
Prices are going up and up in the country inspite of media highlighting the current price trend on TV. I wish to point out that prices are normally at least 25% higher in the state of Tripura. Why not TV channels are portraying the price picture of Tripura State. At the same time I like to mention here that why TV media is spoiling their precious time on highlighting the news on accidents, murders, rape, bollyhood hero love affairs, personal matters pertaining to political leaders etc when they are of no use and no relevance for general viewers. Are these news considered by you as helpful in creation of healthy environment conducive for growth of healthy culture?
TV media devote time on Ruchika and Rathore when court delivered judgment on the case. Why media were silent for 19 years? Why are they not investigating story of lacs of similar other cases pending in various courts for decades. There are thousands of Rathores in the administration, banks, government departments, armed forces and PSUs where promotions and postings are done not on the basis of merit but purely on the basis of recommendations and flattery to bosses. In a country where merit is not respected and given due recognition, there is no question of improvement in overall image of the country. It is essential to expose those executives, ministers and CEOs who have got the top post not by merit by corrupt and unethical means. Even courts are not reliable because they also act and react on the basis of underhand dealings.
Why is there so much delay in court proceedings culminating in judgment? Why don’t you expose the ugly affairs of court? It is undeniably right to say that delayed justice is the root cause of increasing crime and corrupt culture. Until there is a fear in the minds of wrong doers we cannot dream of stopping the same. Media being the fourth pillar of democracy has the capacity to induce healthy practice and feed sound inputs so that viewers are motivated in right direction.
Prices of all edible food grains are continuously rising. In past three four decades I think price never shoot up so much high and so much quickly and speedily in the past, even during Indira’s rule. Prices are increasing brakeless and unabated. It seems more ridiculous when government claims that it is watchful and monitoring properly the trend of price. It gives the message that political leaders do not mean what they say.
Reason behind current price in my opinion is undoubtedly o Neta –Traders and Neta-share broker nexus and it is be beyond the control of the government or the administration. Mr. Sharad Pawar openly says prices will go up. When Ministers issues such irresponsible statement, market overreacts and it is natural. Even opposition parties are silent, almost silent. It shows there are also black sheep in opposition camp. In parliamentary system it is only opposition which can save people of India from misrule of ruling government. If opposition parties also become silent spectator of rising prices, people are helpless.
Media makes so much hue and cries through TV and print media every now and then. But there is none in the camp of ruling or opposition camp to bother. Ruling government has got a lame excuse and they always talk of global warming or global economic slowdown or bad climate and easily they hide the mistakes of Indian system and also underlying corruption, unethical profit making through hoarding and arbitrary fixing of rates on all commodities . Opposing parties due to their internal problems have also turned deaf ear to painful price rise.
Business house are however very much clever and they keep good relation with all political parties. Obviously leaders of all parties enjoy and it is only common men who suffer the most. Leaders of UPA government blame state governments for current price rise and accuse them for spurt in prices. But they forget that prices are rising even in those states where UPA is in power. When government is not bothered, let the public suffer and revolt against price rise.
Minister of external affairs advised students not to prefer education in Australia because it is not in their control to stop violence going on in Australia against Indians unabated. Now it is also possible that Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India will advise the common men to avoid buying commodities which are not in their reach and remain content with grass and tea leaves.

A Canadian company has had a wholly-owned subsidiary in Argentina for 20 years.
The subsidiary is active in the cattle raising sector. You joined the parent company in
1992.
A. Your CEO gives you your first mandate in 1992: to conduct an analysis of the foreign exchange risk for the entire company and to explain to him or her which kinds of foreign exchange risk the company is exposed to.
The important data available to you are:
Cattle is sold in Argentina in pesos;
Grain which is fed to the cattle is bought in Argentina and the supply is met by
means of a long-term contract of 20 years, in US dollars.
B. Given the optimism that accompanied the pegging of the peso to the US dollar, your boss is planning, shortly after you were hired, to grow the Argentine subsidiary. Your boss is targeting the other markets in South America, mainly Brazil, to sell cattle. Your boss is, however, open to other suggestions. What would you recommend? Why?
I am studing certain matters in connection to contractual formalities referencing the physical marketing of agricultural commodities internationally, mainly soybeans and other grains. Could anyone provide me with an indication on where to obtain sound drafts of international trade agreement involving the export of agricultural commodities basis ES-WORKS, FOB, CIF and CFR, including the texts of its related annexes covering the methods usually practiced for the purchase of the goods, as well with any of the texts connected to the performance guarantees covering the delivery of the physical commodity? I have been reviewing all sorts of futures contracts over the internet, particularly, those of a number of international exchanges (CBOT and the like) but could not find any draft of lawful trading agreement in line which contained deep data on the operational methods in relation to the actual physical delivery proactices and mechanisms to the business? Cheers. Kisu

I am a beginner investor so if what I am about to say makes no sense correct me… In Curtis Faith’s novel, “Way of the Turtle”, he constantly refers to trading futures contracts, and mentions trading specific things like oil, cocoa, and grains. Is this the same thing as trading stocks? If not, will the system he outlines still work in the stock market?

Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics
I’ve often wondered what would happen if bank customers handed over their fivers (and higher denomination banknotes) and demanded that the bank fulfil the promise on every banknote, ie; the promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of (whatever) pounds. The word “pound” in terms of money refers to the weight 240 silver pennies. Banknotes are not actually money but a promisary note on behalf of the Bank of England. Banknotes were issued to enable merchants to exchange a convenient representation of actual sterling (ie; high grade) silver for goods or services. The banknotes could then be presented to any bank which, by law, was obliged to pay the bearer the banknote’s value in sterling silver which did not necessarily have to be in the form of 240 silver pennies per pound but did have to be the equivalent weight in sterling silver.
Prior to 1528, the “pound” referred to the Tower Pound (equal to 5,400 grains and worth about £78.75 in the current market value of silver). In 1528, the standard was changed to the Troy Pound, which is a little heavier and valued in today’s market at around £84.
Now, despite the fluctuations in the value of the pound as a unit of currency, I know of no law passed that voids the promise that is still printed on banknotes today. The word “pounds” still carry the same historical meaning as far as I have been able to ascertain.
Maybe there is a law that releives the banks of their obligation to hand over £420 worth of silver when I present my fiver and demand the bank fulfils the promise on the banknote. If anybody knows more about this, I’d be grateful for the info as I’m seriously thinking of doing this and want to be well-armed with information before attempting to screw the banks like they’ve been screwing us for so long.
I am a beginner investor so if what I am about to say makes no sense correct me… In Curtis Faith’s novel, “Way of the Turtle”, he constantly refers to trading futures contracts, and mentions trading specific things like oil, cocoa, and grains. Is this the same thing as trading stocks? If not, will the system he outlines still work in the stock market?
So I originally had a question asking “what” should be my counter offer on a lease for a loft apartment, however most of my responses stated Landlords / Property Mgr’s don’t negotiate……also most of these responses were by Real Estate professionals who have a vested interest. So I ask then why shouldn’t a counter offer be acceptable on a lease?
I wouldn’t expect anyone to accept an offer that doesn’t cover allocated expenses/overhead & a little profit. However “list price” or “asking price” need be taken w/ a grain of salt……why should this be different than buying a car – - its standard to negotiate that purchase. It shouldn’t matter if it’s a tangible (car) or intangible (lease).
It seems insane not to negotiate a lease in today’s economy. S&P predicts another 10% drop in housing values over 2009 (-16% 2008). So your rent is based on what you get & in 1 year your getting less for your money (what the unit was bought for is irrelevant, its current value because that’s what you’re living in…….you can’t help that it wasn’t a good investment).
So I circle back to my question why should it not be acceptable to counter offer a lease? And if so why is the Real Estate industry is so different than the rest of the consumer market?
