Banks To Charge #CUSTOMERS 4 Saving #Money?. . . (#bailouts), OK--SAVE MORE!

In an effort to protect their record profits, banks might soon charge you for the privilege of having a savings account.

 I know what you're thinking: Banks already charge customers outrageous fees for the privilege of having bank accounts. But if the Federal Reserve dares to try and help the economy by cutting a special interest rate it pays banks, fees could get even more outrageous, the Financial Times reports (subscription only). Such a move by the Fed would lose banks some easy money, and they could take the difference out of their customers' hides. Yeah, yada, yada! . . . 

Here's an old/new Savings Idea that Banks cannot compete with, and don't want Customers to know about. An savings account concept that can be implemented within your Community, State, and Your America: Save To Win; D2D’s work with prize-linked savings accounts with credit unions in four states offering the Save To Win program, featured on PBS NewsHour . . .

 D2D Fund aims to strengthen financial opportunity for consumers through new products and policies, according to the organization's website.

David and Goliath situation; "we need to do our best to be just as creative -- just as thoughtful, just as in tune with the literature and science about behavior and behavioral economics and leverage those to build consumer products and experiences that help them." At a time when savings are important, how do we engage consumers in the act of Saving and Reinstitute a culture of Thrift in America?

America has gone through some of the most difficult financial years a nation can go through, now banks are threatening to back-charge consumers (another Bank Bailouts) for Banker's ineptness--Is it not insane?

SAVE To WIN Accounts!, before Banks penalize You for Saving!

                             Financing Failure: A Century Of BailOuts!

The nation’s federal financial regulators and the politicians claim to have saved the American economy. In truth they have done everything within their power to expand their own influence—often far out of view from the public and media.

Bitcoin: Financial alternatives or a statement of distrust in Banks?

Perhaps it depends on an individual's exact need and their perception on world currency. Since its introduction in 2009, the Bitcoin seems to have gain traction and is accepted in trade by merchants and individuals in many parts of the world. Like other currencies, Bitcoin is virtual currency with certain or particular transactions that constitute some of its commercial usage.

 Most recently the Bitcoin has gained favorable attention with the Winklevoss twins, which has been reviewed by several financial journalists and economists to mixed-acclaim and or wowed/damned by public opinions. However, if the private Bitcoin exchanges and investment companies take off, this would advance the attention of regulators as they already have a tense relationship with the Bitcoin Foundation. The concept of Crowdfunding peer-to-peer has taken on a business trend as they began to compete with banks' small business loans. Could this be the wisdom of the few that acknowledged signals of warnings and have a willingness to support an alternative finance systems? Ericsson Announces Open Money: Files Bitcoin Patent Application for the "Good of Society" -->

 If you're merchant within the business world, or not, you may like to subside discriminating/favorable opinions of others and investigate trendy financial alternatives / Bitcoins and Cryptocurrency--- Does it concern Your future or Not. As the true/realistic answer will always apply to an individual's own preference.

An Bloomberg interview on the Bitcoin Boom, as they explore the current state and potential of bitcoins as currency. Agenda on July 30th. 2013 in NYC, Bitcoins speakers will delve deeper into this topic and explore emerging business opportunities. 


Political correctness can often refer to as catering or following opinionated thoughts and actions of others as a majority. However, history has proven that such names as Jobs, Ayn Rand, Gates, Buffet, Hughes, Tucker and a few handful of other extraordinary minds, has help shape society in ways that the average person of the majority may never realize or understand. Trailblazers are visionaries with cadence that lead instead of follow.


 Contrary to popularity of Facebook's origin; the court majority awarded the victor as  'sole-founder' [Facebook] . Can one oppose to the few/minority who acknowledged the fact that without such names as Saverin, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss and Narendra, Facebook would not be the social network giant that it is today? Did the "majority" ruled and missed the point? 

 Was it not the Winklevoss and Narendra (the originators)  idea/concept, and Saverin's finances that help brainstormed & catapulted  "The Facebook"? The Winklevoss twins may or may not be on to something, but one thought is sure-- do they have an insight as to a verge in monetary change of world currency? Tease and Joke as some people have. The hidden maze & misdirections are not for the simple minded, dare not ignore the financial moves and investments of the Winklevoss twins-- It [ may or not] be worth the steal! 


“Love should be treated like a business deal, but every business deal has its own terms and its own currency. And in love, the currency is virtue. You love people not for what you do for them or what they do for you. You love them for the values, the virtues, which they have achieved in their own character.” ― Ayn Rand

"Our customers spoke, and we listened." The New American Arrives:

On the morning of April 15, 1926, a young aviator named Charles A. Lindbergh stowed a bag of mail in his little DH-4 biplane and took off from Chicago for St. Louis. Later that day, he and two other pilots flew three plane loads of mail from St. Louis to Chicago.

Lindbergh's Biography

 At the time, Lindbergh was chief pilot of Robertson Aircraft Corporation of Missouri, which was the second aviation company to hold a U.S. airmail contract. It was one of scores of companies that eventually consolidated to form the modern-day American Airlines.

 The consolidation began in 1929, when The Aviation Corporation was formed to acquire young aviation companies, including Robertson. In 1930, The Aviation Corporation's airline subsidiaries were incorporated into American Airways, Inc. In 1934, American Airways became American Airlines, Inc.

A New Era:
As previously announced February 14, 2013, AMR and US Airways agreed to combine to create the new American Airlines, a premier global carrier. Headquartered in Dallas-Fort Worth, the new American Airlines will become a highly competitive alternative for consumers to other global carriers and is expected to offer more than 6,700 daily flights to 336 destinations in 56 countries. The combined airline will offer customers more choices and increased service across a larger worldwide network and through an enhanced oneworld® Alliance.

                                           THE NEW AMERICAN AIRLINES
-->

The Merger: Together, American Airlines and US Airways are expected to operate a mainline fleet of almost 950 aircraft and employ more than 100,000 team members worldwide. The merger is subject to regulatory approvals, approval by US Airways shareholders, other customary closing conditions and confirmation of American Airlines' Plan of Reorganization by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. 

Marriott and American Airlines team, gives joint Marriott Rewards and AAdvantage^® members new ways to earn AAdvantage miles. Effective as of June 17, 2013 Marriott Rewards will award AAdvantage miles to joint members on qualifying transactions at 3,700 hotels worldwide. Joint members can also choose to convert Marriott Rewards points to AAdvantage miles.

"Our customers spoke, and we listened," said Suzanne Rubin, President – AAdvantage Loyalty Program at American Airlines. "We designed this partnership based on feedback from our AAdvantage members to deliver the benefits they want. Like our other partnerships, this will help better serve our valued AAdvantage members by giving them even more ways to earn miles."

Marriott Joins AAdvantage Program

 What does this mean for you? You'll have the opportunity to earn even more AAdvantage miles (up to 2 miles per dollar spent) while allowing you to expand your travel experience and enjoy more choices when deciding where you will stay when you're away from home.

What's The Bonus: The New American celebrates new partnership while offering travelers more of what they want - bonus miles! Travelers earn 500 AAdvantage bonus miles, honored at over 3,700 participating Marriott properties around the globe between July 15 and August 15, 2013.



 Marriott Rewards / The AAdvantage Program!

Acknowledgement: American Airlines has flighted into the 21st century, but have they out-flown it's competitors? Notable Airlines that are now defunct/merged, such as Pan Am World Airways (1927 - 1991), Continental Airlines 1934-2010 integrated with United Airlines; founded 1926 (as Varney Airlines), and Northeast & Northwest Airlines (1927 - 2010) acquired by Delta Air Lines has been flying since 1924. 
And of course, Trans World Airlines (TWA) has a history that dates back to the 1930's until it was bought out by and merged with American Airlines in 2001.

 What Does the $11 Billion Dollar Airline Merger Mean for the 'Friendly Skies'?

Watch What Does the $11 Billion Dollar Airline Merger Mean? on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.

What does it all mean? Airline business is an high in demand Service that Travelers have grown accustom to, by which Airlines must be on the cutting edge of innovation to appease their Customers. Otherwise, dissolution becomes an Airline's worst nightmare. Common sense right?, No!, there's more, the real Question is weather or not your Lifestyle depends on the services that Airlines provide (travel)? The Airline Industry is an old concept that seems to have outgrown itself; high time for new Technology & Evolution in the field of Air Travel.  May one or more beautiful minds Tap into the next phase of the Air Travel Experience.

Mergers, Partnerships and Joint Ventures  among the big-time business giants and longtime Establishments worldwide, clearly makes a statement and what does it mean ~ "OneWorld".

"Simply A Joy Shared Between All Women."

A Tradition that is centered around Heartfelt Memories:
As a young adult, Susan Beckman lived the life of an artist in Europe, she later ventured to the Monasteraki area of Athens, Greece. Such as "paradigm shift", a change from one way of thinking to another, perhaps a transformation at will --"I took everything I love to do, tucked it into a great big sack, shook it up, and out came Camille Beckman."

175 S Rosebud Ln, Eagle, Camille Beckman

People always remember where they were the first time they tried Camille Beckman:
The products are as timeless and charming as the shops that sell them. Step Inside.

The Foundation
Susan C. Beckman Roghani:
'In the mid 90’s my husband and I started the Camille Beckman foundation with the purpose of serving the women, children and elderly of our world.
To date, we have worked with over 120 organizations to build orphanages, schools, educational programs, food banks, medical missions and much more. While we must accept we cannot be all things for all people, we are passionate about doing what we can for those whom our expertise can help the most. We envision a world where women are empowered with knowledge, freedom and opportunity; where children and elders care for each other, and where all beings realize their complete connection to the Earth and all that is.

May all beings have food to eat, clean air to breath, clean water to drink and shelter over their heads. May all beings have others to share love with and know their true purpose. May all beings be happy; may all beings be free from suffering.'

G&DA: Do you think that as a woman you approached doing business differently?
Susan C. Beckman Roghani:
"Yes, I know so. I don’t want to alienate any man, but men think a little bit differently and often they structure the offices differently. Women are used to juggling so many jobs that it stays in place in the workforce. They don’t think of assigning it to someone, they just roll up their sleeves and get it done."

Mom Central, a company that connects brands to the influential and elusive busy mom!
During an eight-year stint as a lawyer at Harvard Law School, Stacy DeBroff realized that there were many women around her struggling to maintain balance between work and family life. Debroff saw a need to remedy the struggle of busy moms, and launched a series of mom resource books. She ultimately began landing jobs as a spokesperson for top companies that were interested in reaching the audience of moms she had worked hard to connect with. However, instead of seeing companies answering to the needs of moms, DeBroff only saw more issues.
"I was taken aback by the disconnect between a company's marketing language and top-down messaging to reach moms versus what moms really wanted to hear and how they were making decisions," DeBroff says.

 In response, DeBroff took Mom Central, a website she launched in 2007 to give parenting advice and tips, and transformed it into a social media agency focused on Moms. Utilizing what DeBroff calls "relationship marketing," Mom Central connects brands with influential mom-bloggers, twitter personalities, and other influencers to launch word-of-mouth buzz about a product. DeBroff says these "mom-influencers" reach the core of the busy mom audience with their passion for brands.


"If moms are deciding on what kind of pacifier to use, they’d much rather hear from an articulate person who is experienced than hearing the brand tell them why the product is the best."---  Stacy DeBroff, Founder and CEO of  Mom Central.

You can sign up and receive Mom Central weekly communications. If you are interested in working with brands and are a blogger, be sure to join Mom Central Blog Roll! If you don't have an active blog and still want to work with brands, join Mom Central Testing Panel.
