Selling miles
Let us look into reality. Those who have a lot of frequent flyer miles either cannot plan their personal trips for exact dates or trying to combine business with pleasure or just do not want to fly anymore. Sometime those hundred thousand miles are just dying as it happened with my Lufthansa miles or at best you can use them for children. Probably the better solution is to sell them and not link your trips to specific dates and regulations for their use. There is a solution

Is a ban on books reasonable?
First time after 70 years ban Germany's authorities allows publication of Mein Kamph, but decided to restrict publication: an annotated, academic edition will be allowed - but not other uncritical editions. BBC correspondent: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35242523 Germans are still distinctly uncomfortable with the idea that they might suddenly start seeing the Fuehrer's face adorning shop windows, not to mention the moral issue of making a profit out of an anti-Semiti
Is the number of guns the major problem?
37% of American households said that somebody in their home has a gun.

There are 600,000 registered guns in citizen possession. Assuming

Stock plunged January 4th, Monday
Evaporation of 2.4% of Dow means that almost 400 billion dollars just evaporated. Had they been real? The question is deeper than one may think. The first part of it is the relation between production of products and services and a stock. Does total value of companies on stock markets represent something real? The second question is trickier: does money represent something real or they are just means to regulate our lives? http://bbc.in/1Z1PCmY via @BBCNews
How Plantronics headset passed away
I am using Bluetooth headsets for business conversation and i need a good quality of sound. I had tried numerous brands and found that Plantronics is the best. I purchased Plantronics Voyager with a flexible part connecting a microphone and a speaker. This flexible part teared after half a year. I bought another one Voyager Pro HD. The same story!
