While you and your collaborators are working on a document, you can keep track of changes.
One of my favorite features is the "change/select-version" option, giving you the option to switch
between different versions of your revised documents. Integration tools of Oracle Open Office, and
its companion applications (Oracle Cloud Office, Oracle ODF-plug-in) is one of the greatest
innovations of software developers. Other business solutions software is an extension of the above:

1. Oracle E Business Suite

3. Siebel
4. Agile

Apart from the primary features of these applications, customers are provided a number of secondary
features, i.e, XML - , PDF - , HTML - , RTF - file format, including plain word document. The most
basic application which you have probably heard of, Google DOC, is more of a user-friendly application
by Google's base developers. You choose what's best for you, but it won't hurt to give them all a try.

FANTASY TOUR - on Amtrak to Chicago

Traveling On The Amtrak Train To CHICAGO

I'm taking you on a tour around Chicago's unseen areas, where there are houses that cost a fortune, and then to the beat up areas near the poorer neighborhoods. We will see stores, businesses, colleges and schools. Then, we will even go inside of some of the best restaurants, and then grab a bite to eat at some of the burger joints. Maybe you like White Castle's double cheese burgers, or maybe you like Pork's homemade barbecue, but whatever Chicago has to offer, we'll get to experience in this hub. The objective is to play with your imagination and tease your senses. I want to make this hub feel like a real tour, so much that you would almost smell Chicago, taste the food, and engage in conversations with a few strangers. For all of my readers, please make sure you have your clothes packed, snacks to eat along the way, and a book to read, because we are about to travel on the Amtrak train. Below is a table that lists the cost of the ticket and travel times.

Welcome Aboard The Texas Eagle

Touring Amtrak's Texas Eagle

Well, we have our luggage tagged and put away in the compartments, and now it's time to tour the inside of the Texas Eagle. There is a lower-level lounge car, and one on the upper level, where the dining car is also. The lounge car is the snack car, where you can purchase refreshments and sweets, and play board games if you have them. I brought my chess set with me. Anybody up for a game? Ah, I see. You don't play chess. Well, I'll have to sit in the lounge car, set my board up, and hope somebody who knows how to play chess come and offer me a challenge.  The dining car is where you can go and order an entree from the menu, but no need to show off your big wallet, don't look at me because I don't have enough money to eat with you. [just kidding] I'll be joining you in the diner soon, but I gotta go to the restroom, and I'll be back shortly. It sure is nice to be traveling on Amtrak, enjoying a short vacation away from the busy work week is worth it all, regardless of the expenses.

From Wrigley Field To China Town

RIDING TOUR BUS TO WRIGLEY FIELD

We're back on the tour bus, leaving the hotel, and to Wrigley Field to watch a Cubs game. Afterwards, we'll go to Chicago's China Town area to find us some real Chinese food dishes, and not so much the American style food. I asked the tour director if he would choose a Chinese restaurant, and he suggested China Town, and besides, I am a picky person who didn't bother to ask anybody what they want to eat. Sorry, but I paid the most money so I get to choose. Thanks for your cooperation. Anyway, we will be good an hungry by the time the game is over anyway. So, just enjoy the tour. I'm sure we'll stop at other places.
I'm wearing my Cubs Jersey outfit, and hey, nice Cubs hat you have on, I like it. Wait, look, I can see Wrigley field from here! Look out the window.
Hey, he's safe! I don't know why coaches always argue at games. If you look at the 2 men in the photo (bottom right), you'll notice that they're having a discrepancy. In my opinion, I think the player was safe, what do you think? Did you see the end of the play? Well, so much for a Cubs game. "Hey honey, did you see the play? I think he's safe."  I'm about ready to go to Chicago's China Town for some food. I'm starving. I've seen enough of these brawls, and it's about time somebody make a call. Safe or out. I think I'm down to my last bite of red kernel popcorn. Maybe I should save it for the next 5 minutes or so, just until it's time to go.

Field of Dreams

I've always wanted to taste some real Chinese home cooking. As with all good things, it had to happen sooner or later. My wife Sandy is enjoying it too, but she keeps reaching over onto my plate, and I wonder why. Maybe she ordered something she doesn't like too much. Talking about reaching at someone's plate, your dish looks good. I like that barbecue duck, it smells good. Listen, my friend, I'll let you taste my pizza if you let me try some of that duck. I asked the conductor if we can go tour some rich neighborhoods, but you look disappointed. What's the matter, was it not what you wanted? I would have settled for the broken down areas, but I want the chance to see how the wealthy people are living for the first time. Besides, you must know some people in the projects. Who do you know in the projects? Tell you the truth, I don't wish to go by those parts, I don't wanna get robbed. I figured it was all good, though. "Hey, you aisle seat fat guy, mind if I have my front seat back? I sat down immediately before someone would come and take my front seat on the tour bus. As a much-needed r & r, I removed my Cubs cap and ditched it out the window. Ha, ha! Good 'Sunshine and Rainbows.'
As I looked out the window, scoping the rough landscape, the bus rudely jolted after going over 2 possums, but now it's momentary peace. I'm not about to scrape the tires. It's not my job. My wife Sandy is eering a little, but it became clear immediately that she has nothing to fear as long as her husband (I) is with her. "Pardon me, but I thought you were a photographer, and a know-it-all? You're the one wearing the cargo shorts, and with every movement, I'm sure you can take some nice angle pictures. I don't have a shadow of doubt, I was eavesdropping on your conversation, and I overheard you telling him that you had your digital camera with you."Yeah, even more boring would be to take some picture of the projects in Chicago. That's why I'm glad we're going across the high ends.
“Oh, look at that. It’s beautiful." [viewing the Gold Coast] The bus comes to a stop around The Gold Coast. This is the chance for tourists to get off the bus and stretch a little, and take some pictures of houses and buildings near the Gold Coast.
So far, we have been through several rural areas, making compliments about the fancy houses and properties, even in the suburban areas. It's nice, but I would like to meet a couple of strangers while I'm here in the city. If nothing else, my journey will be a memorable one. Beyond any doubt, getting on a train and tour bus for the first time was an experience I’ll take with me for a long time. It has been a pleasure traveling and meeting all of you. I thought maybe a quick visit to the casino might be a good idea. May as well spend more money.

CONCLUDING THE TOUR TRIP

Good and tired, ready to get back to the hotel and go to the lounge area. I'm good and tired after shopping between spots. It's been good for me, what about you? I've seen enough for one day. To be honest, I would like to do this again soon. The cost wasn't so bad, and you get what you pay for. After leaving on the bus, headed back to the Trump International suites, the day was turning into evening, and heads were nodding off as if a heaviness came upon the eyes of passengers. Wow, what a beautiful way a trip can end, people falling asleep."I see you have a shopping bag. What did you buy?" "It looks like some shirts and ties. I shop at Macy's a lot myself, and it's a good store with name-brand clothing and reasonable prices." Well, I'm about to nod off, wake me up when we get to the hotel.
We'll still have enough time left tomorrow to tour the University of Illinois and do some more sight-seeing, but it's late and I'm sleepy.

FINISHING OUR TOUR - SHOPPING

University of Illinois of Chicago

THE NEXT DAY: visiting university and shopping

We are close to the end of our tour, and it's time for us to check out one of Chicago's best schools, the University of Illinois of Chicago. Afterwards, we can do a little shopping, then go to the casino. [Taking pictures as the bus passes by the university]
I've always wanted to go to a university like this one. Image all the career courses that are available to nobodies like me. I don't believe that a anybody has to go to college in order to afford a decent lifestyle, for instance, Bill Gates was a high school drop-out, and he's living better than most of us who did go to college. The one thing that is good about going to college is the valuable experience you can get meeting people who come for different backgrounds, and people of a different culture than your own. You can learn a lot from those people. I appreciated the fact that I had free access to computers and books when I was going to college. However, everybody is different, and college may be a necessity for some of us.  Let's go do some shopping.

Story Of My Life (3) Determination

.

Determination

I visited churches of different denominations, engaged in discussions about biblical teaching and Christianity in general, and even contended with people of different beliefs. I remember when God demonstrated to me his power through the Holy scriptures. I remember going through a test, or as some would say, "a trial." A Jehovah's Witness gave me a ride in his car, we were going to his house to study and learn about God. He presented me with some materials he had, and he thought that he had me convinced. He didn't believe in the Christ's divinity, so instead of disputing with him, I opened the bible and showed him a verse. I focused his attention on something that Jesus said. I asked him who he thought it was that was talking. He couldn't deny that it was Jesus. He had nothing further to say, so he took me back home immediately, threw me out of his car, and I never saw him again. I was just leaving work one day and feeling discouraged. I opened my mouth and began singing praises to God in the name of the Christ. Two Mormons who saw me smiling and singing with joy, jumped out of their car to witness Joseph T. Smith's teachings. I witnessed to them the truth of my state-of-being, and told them that I had already received from God the comfort that I needed. Afterwards, they both hopped back into their car and left. I endured yet another trial. I met a couple who were Seventh-Day Adventists. They tried to persuade me to follow their multi-strict rules of Pharisee living. I simply left them alone and felt sorry for the newborn they were expecting. "Poor kid." I thank God today that there is only one truth, and that is Christ in us. Amen. "Little children, let no man teach you, for he who is in you (the spirit) will teach you." I witnessed to people on the street. I became a living witness, as the bible itself is a faithful witness. It is only now that I truly need God's power to enable me to be more effective.

Tears

There are issues that I struggle with today concerning my faith in Christ. I believe what God said, "It is not good that man should be alone." I am alone, have no wife or children, and yet, my testosterone level is sky-high. I guess it's a lack of confidence in myself? Perhaps, I think that I need to be more aggressive in finding the right woman. Although I want to get married, it is hard for me to approach a woman for a date. I am an intellectual person, I pretty much keep to myself and my ways instead of opening up to other people like I should, I really need to get out more. I think the main battle ahead of me is to accept my identity in Christ. "For I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength." Maybe it will manifest when I take more steps of faith. I need to let go of self-doubt. I learned from one minister that whatever you believe, that's how you will act, because those things are programmed into your subconscious. As Reverend Ike said, "some people need a 'gut' job."

Story Of My Life

To sum it all up, there is a solution for life's struggles. Overcoming them is a matter of believing and taking personal steps toward achieving your goals. Despite someone else's credibility and experience, I learned not to trust another person when it comes to finding out the truth, but to trust in the Almighty. I am nothing without Christ. What good would it do a person even if he/she gained the world, but lost their soul? Men and women with PHDs and other degrees have gone berserk and went postal on their jobs. Some even committed suicide. That lets' us know that life apart from Christ is meaningless, and it holds no truth. Once we have identified ourselves with Christ, and that he is God, then we will have meaning to our lives. "Life" was given by God, and without him, there is no life. The world does not see it that way. If you listen to the news, you will hear about highly educated people committing murders, embezzling company budgets, and trying to swindle other people. Understand one thing, God is with the poor. Amen
