Part of the problem is the tightening of visa regs, part is the tightening of business rules (very difficult to get business license to start a business for foreigner in China), part is the new taxes levied against foreigner income, part is the worldwide downtrend in the economy, and part is refusal of Korean education system and some others to accept high school credits from schools outside their own countries. Bottom line is I have a dieing business on my hand so losing over half of my students this year. June 15 is the deadline for returning students to enroll. Then I see if I have enough to continue. All my teacher and staff know they may get laid off. 3 are already gone and have found other work. The rest are waiting tosee if they still have a job. Me, I am always employable as an English teacher in China because of my experience and qualifications but my school ..................... we will see.

I think we had an excellent system from Bob which looks very promising and makes a lot of sense. However, with all the EAs, which is good but has diverted our focus and energy. We r jumping from one to the other without fully developing one, testing it, reporting results and improving. This is not how most of us would normally test new things and is not recommended to change methods every now and then. I think I had good success using 10.2 manually but then the EAs messed it all up. I have only used 10.2 EA which to me does not do the job correctly and needs some more coding adjustments. I have highlighted those but no one seems to have time for 10.2 EA. So, I am bak to manual with use of Baluda CSS indi as a guide.

I think it is good to have NN10.2, Shelley, Baluda, and SJ EAs but we need to take a step back and think what is the best combination and how best to use the expertise available and everyone's time. We need to target going from demo to live not just keep testing. So I suggest, we target
1) optimization of NNBob system by end of June (original+use of Baluda and SJ to have good direction and entry and exits)
2) testing by August
3) be ready in September to go live and actually have real money playing.

I am going to test an update which I hope will simplify entries and exits more but also help with whiplash. I think I have a solution but need to test it first.
