NewsletterApril 2009 Got Milk?The above photo was taken in Annecy-le-Vieux; a machine dispenses fresh unpasteurized milk direct from a local dairy farm. I had heard about machines like this before, but never saw one in action. The idea is that the dairy farmer can go directly to the consumer and the consumer can buy fresh milk that is only filtered, thus “drinking directly from the cow.” The cost is 1€ for a liter of milk that is advertised to last up to three days. You can see more photos. Real EstateI now work part time in real estate. I’m an agent with Gp-Immo International covering the department of Haute-Savoie in the region between Geneva and Annecy. I’ve created a new site Property French Alps to promote this new venture. As I’ve just started I don’t have many properties to sell, but if you are looking to buy in my region please contact me. You can also contact me if you are thinking of buying in another part of France. Gp-Immo International has agents throughout France. Class warfareIn what can only be described as class warfare there has been a rash of CEO hostage taking. On March 12th the CEO of Sony France was held overnight by workers who were not happy with their severance pay packages. This was then followed by a similar event at a 3M plant. It’ Annecy!Annecy was selected to represent France as candidate for the 2018 Winter Olympics. Annecy goes in as an outsider to host the games of 2018, mostly because the 2014 Winter Olympics will be in Sochi, Russia. Normally Olympic Games are not held back to back on the same continent. Do my HomeworkIt was short-lived but it did sure make the news. Fais mes Devoirs (Do my Homework) was a planned site that would, well do students homework for them - for a price. The day it was planned to launch, it didn’t, and a message was posted on the home page explaining that second thoughts were had and that the site wouldn’t start. That “new technologies should serve to make us better and not just help us”, was part of the message announcing the closure. Here is an article in English about Fais mes Devoirs. It was written before the closure.
