Hi folks.
I just got a notice in my inbox about spring break specials. That got me thinking. The airlines and the resorts are going to be pulling out all the stops this year with all kinds of deals for the regular spring break crowd. The usual crowds are not going to come and it is going to make a big slump in the tourist industries. Many hotels, motels and the cafes and shops that are supported by the huge crowds will go out of business or lose money. The tough ones will be able to just break even. Many dreams will be squashed. I predict more violence in higher learning schools due to the fact that many of the students( already under a huge amount of pressure) will not be able to afford spring break. That will be good news to local places where the kids can go to blow off steam but that will also be a hassle for police and local hospitals.
To put this in survival terms, be careful around the students that do not have the means to go as they will be on a hair trigger as it is. Everything we take for granted is going to change and change means stress (even when the stressor is a good stress-like getting married). In times of stress we need to find healthy ways to relax. I sometimes use Tai Chi and a good hot bath to relax my body which relaxes my mind. That is the secret, relax the body and the mind will follow. I hope this helps.

This is my latest entry on my blog http://moneyhowtogetsome.blogspot.com .
For people who are getting laid off and they do not know how to make money outside of going to a job and collecting a paycheque, many will turn to Internet Marketing as a way of getting some money into their households. I write these for two reasons A) they can help other people and B) if a couple sign up under me, that helps me out too. I want to be up front an honest about my motives. Judge for yourself if the information is good or not. Here it is:
Hi folks.
I am going to be going through a few ways I get traffic to my sites. Today's lesson is on Squeeze pages.
What's a Squeeze page?
It is like a a teaser ad that gets the potential customer/client/contact to do something to get more
information. A good page peaks a person's interest enough for them to either click on a link to the sales page or write in their name and email address for you to follow up with. Here is one of my pages for a service called The List Auction.
http://thelistauction.com/content/promo.tools.squeeze.pages.php?page=8&id=18930 . You will notice that it is a long and ugly link with my personal referral id out in the open for all to see. If I wanted it to look nicer and not have that information hanging out, I would put the link through a cloak like TinyURL . There is also a way to mask the link by redirecting it from a nicer looking site. I can mask it by setting up a sub domain on one of my websites. That can be a whole subject for another day. To make sure it was a live link you would enclose it with an anchor in HTML on a website like this The List Auction and on the page all you would see is The List Auction in a different colour as a clickable link.
Getting back to the page, click on it and you will see that the action the page wants from you is to enter our email address. The other type of Squeeze page would look like this; http://thelistauction.com/content/promo.tools.squeeze.pages.php?page=7&id=18930 . Click on this one and you will see that the action is to go directly to the sales page.
That is the end of the lesson on Squeeze pages. If you find it helpful or have other questions, you can get in touch with me directly at michaelkaer@yahoo.ca . If you find the list auction site to be of use to you, please feel free to sign up under me(ugly links and all).

Hi folks.
I found this site by accident (I love when that happens!).
Here is the code it generated.
The site's name is http://www.websiteoutlook.com .
The site is was talking about is my Home Income Portal.
http://homeincomeportal.com/mibmy137 .
How does this relate to survival? You need some money to get the supplies you need and the other prep items. It is easier to make the money online ,letting the power of the Internet do all the work while it frees up your time to go plant garden or a tree or practise your camping skills.
My question for you is how are you making your money and is there an easier, faster way that frees you up to do the things that are important?

Some of you may not know this, but I am a professional Psychic amongst my many talents. I have been reading Tarot for nearly 30 years and teaching it for about 15 or more years. I have been doing it on line for just over a year now. My experience up till then was face to face readings. Most of the clients I have had in the past wanted to know something to do with their relationships. I have had many other questions, but up till recently the majority has been relationships. Since the major downturn in the world economy I have been getting more and more clients that want readings on their carreers, or choices to take in schooling for a job.
In a broad sense I know that health care will always need people since there are more people getting older that will need caring for. The other big industry that will need new people is the "Alternative" "Green" energy sector. Just for the sake of keeping things simple I would include any home renovations like replacing windows and adding extra insulation or replacing energy hog appliances with more up-to-date ones in to that general catagory. A subset of that would be all the new upstart cars that will be intergrated into a new, smart metered system where solar panels on cars can generate extra electricity to put back into the grid when they have topped off their batteries.
A third big sector that will be the driving edge of the economy will be farming and local community gardens. Farmers are about to go through a major change. In the third world countries where farmers grow on small plots of land, they have been using GMO seeds and buying the fertilizers and other chemicals to get a crop that does not meet up with the claims the seed companies gave. The terminator seeds have been modified so they will be sterile. That means the farmers are forced to buy seeds every year.The result is farmers going so far in debt that they can never repay the seed companies like monsanto have committed suicide. That has gotten many farmers to switch back to the old ways of farming using organic methods and saving seeds that have not been modified. One problem here is now that the GMO seeds have been out there for a few years, there have mixed their genes with the local varieties, with usually strange results. At some point the entire world is going to rebel against the GMO companies and simply not buy their death-dealling seeds and the chemicals that are neded to support them. They will become unsustainable plain and simple. The entire food industry will be forced to go organic since that is the only sustainable practice we have. That means that when the oil prices go through the roof the big machines will sit idle(unless the have been modified to run on diesel or ethanol)(engine modifications will be a big business in the future) and the humble ox and horse will make a comeback. The big factory farms that are mono-cropped will be a thing of the past. Since globalization will be limited by fuel restaints, growing a crop for shippment will dwindle down to a trickle. The only crops that may have a future are coffee, sugar and spices, with the rare shippment of fruit(like oranges at christmas was in the past). Hardy dried fruit like dates, figs and olives will still be traded as well as various nuts. Cheap rice will be a thing of the past. The new/old food that will make a huge comeback will be Hemp seed and all the things that can be made from hemp. Hemp seed at one time was so cheap it was fed to the birds or made into a gruel for poor people to eat . Currently the price is around $10.00 a kilo, depending here you can get it, if you can get it. In order for that price to drop, Hemp will have to be grown everywhere. The US is in crisis mode and if Obama was smart he would make Hemp legal to grow this year. The farmers down there are demanding the right to grow it and they have proven that they can have a strain that has almost no THC in it, just like the industrial hemp we grow here in Canada.
At some point the US will be forced to grow hemp again. They do not have a choice. It would be in their own best interest to get the farmers going NOW!
So those are my big three areas for employment in the future. I welcome any comments you may have.
