PARDON.....  1 litre  is 1000 ml !!  ;o)

In Germany last time very cheap!  Only € 1,20 by Super Gas per 1 L. = 1000 ccm 
Last year alot more! 

Today I saw regular unleaded gas in Washington state at $1.79 / gallon.
I really thought I would never see these prices again a couple years ago. What a surprise.

Can anyone offer a legitimate answer as to who sets these prices and how does such a disparity happen?

Yes - the new Buzz words of the UN is "sustainable living"  It is all wrapped up in their UN Agenda 21 plans for the 21st century and to get all people living on only half the planet..... this is why they have the migration policies.

FINALLY!
...someone has solved THAT problem plaguing humanity!

National and international efforts to develop new sources of carbon-free energy are exploring a nuclear power concept first introduced in the 1950s and 1960s: the Molten Salt Reactor. This design is vastly different from our current light water nuclear power plant and is inspiring a fresh look at the technology. Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are working on many solutions necessary for the design, construction, and operation of a full-scale molten salt reactor. We have expertise in radiochemistry and real-time online monitoring, as well as materials design and performance testing.

The Soviets tried this with their nuclear powered submarines ..... all works well as long as it works well .... a much hotter transfer medium, with more heat carrying capacity ... but when a pump breaks down or has to stop, the piping "freezes" and the sodium WHICH IS A METAL, freezes solid, and the entire multi-billion dollar submarine becomes a boat anchor that cannot be repaired.
Some things CAN be done ...... but should NOT be done.
As Elvis found out the hard way ... Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches and cocaine makes a pretty hot "fire" ... but it does not last the night.

Yes. Very unfortunate move.

Love in the time of climate change: Grizzlies, polar bears hooking up
Miami Herald
Most Alaskans and Canadians have a bear story - tales of fearsome grizzlies, even polar bears. But a mix of the two? They're known as pizzlies or grolars, and they're a fusion of the Arctic white bear and their brown cousins. It's a blend that's been ...

Um... could they be birds? I didn't see wings or formations though.
Maybe ants on the lens? Nah.... didn't appear that way.
So... aliens... yes. ;-)

Actually, the Big Bang theory does not postulate that the universe was all contained in a single point. The theory only postuates that early in the universe, it was extremely compact, hot, and expanding rapidly. It makes no attempt to extrapolate to zero time, because the math fails, and every professional in the business thinks that a failure in the math means that there is some new physics principle at work that will alter the equations for those super-early moments.
That doesn’t stop people from ignoring the mathematical failure and postulating what did happen. Indeed, that is the way physics progresses. But the honest answer is that for the very early time, when the universe was no more than a Planck length in size, our current physics theory tells us nothing.
My own favorite speculation is the one you mention in your question, that time did not exist prior to the Big Bang. But if time didn’t exist, then what does it mean for time to “be created”. That requires movement of time. So many physicists think that when the proper new physics is added it, we will find that the universe existed before the Big Bang, and that what we are seeing is some sort of a “bounce”. But we don’t know the true physics for such super dense material, so we can’t really say much more.
As I said, I enjoy more the idea that time just started at the Big Bang. But this is not physics; it is playful speculation.

Once upon a time, someone wiser than I am told me a marketing truth I never forgot: A confused prospect never buys.
In sales and marketing, clarity is king.
This is especially true in the 21st century, when our ultra-connected, always on, stream-of-consciousness lives as we scroll through one social media profile and update after another gives marketers precious few seconds to grab our attention.
Is Your LinkedIn Summary Scaring Prospects Away?
Today, I want to focus on the first sentence of your LinkedIn Summary.
The way LinkedIn lays out a profile page, your Summary area is the first text area visitors come across after seeing your headshot and professional title.
Needless to say, the first sentence of your LinkedIn Summary is critical.
Let me ask: What do you have in there right now? Don't lie! Are you talking about yourself in the third person, like a professional athlete? Are you telling us where you work and what your job title or duties are?
If you are, it's okay.
Blame it on LinkedIn!
You're far from alone. In fact, LinkedIn has trained us to think that way — to treat our profile page like a virtual résumé, listing our employers, job titles, duties, and so on.
If you're trying to use LinkedIn to generate business for yourself, however, that approach is a huge mistake.
Here's why: Your clients don't care about you.
I hate to burst your bubble, but your clients do not care what your job title is, where you attended college, what awards you've won or anything else. What they do care about is quite simple.
“Your clients care about themselves – morning, noon, and after supper!”
Dale Carnegie penned those words all the way back in 1936, but they ring just as true in 2016, don't they?
The Secret to a Successful LinkedIn Summary
Which leads us to the all-important first sentence of your LinkedIn Summary.
Take the template I'm going to share below and copy it, filling in the blanks to personalize it for you and your business.
Here it is:
WHAT I DO: I help [MY TARGET AUDIENCE] achieve [THEIR GOAL] by providing [MY PRODUCT/SERVICE].
See how simple and clear that is?
Using that approach, the first sentence of your LinkedIn Summary instantly identifies your target audience, tells that audience how you help them achieve their goals or solve their problems, and it explains how you do it (the service or product you provide).
It's that simple.
Make sure you watch this video to see how some of my LinkedIn Riches students have applied the formula above to their profiles.
You’ll see how they’re able to take the template I shared above and simply fill in the blanks in a way that helps them appeal to their target audiences in a fast, efficient and clear manner.
Go watch the video, and then give it a shot yourself!
