K+S
K+S AG (formerly Kali und Salz GmbH ) is an international resources company, headquartered in Kassel, Germany. The company is Europe’s largest supplier of potash for use in fertilizer and, after the acquisition of Morton Salt, the world's largest salt producer.

History
K+S was founded in 1889 as Aktiengesellschaft für Bergbau und Tiefbohrung and was renamed to Salzdetfurth AG in 1899. After merging with the potash division of BASF subsidiary Wintershall in 1973 the company was renamed to Kali und Salz (Kalium = potassium and Salz = salt in German). In 1999 the company was renamed K+S. Since September 22, 2008 the stock is part of German stock index DAX, consisting of the 30 major German companies trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. K+S has expanded internationally and is represented in 22 different countries: Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland in Europe, Canada and the US in North America, Brazil, Chile and Peru in South America, South Africa, China, India and Singapore.

Kaplan–Sheinwold
The Kaplan–Sheinwold (or "K-S") bidding system was developed and popularized by Edgar Kaplan and Alfred Sheinwold during their partnership, which flourished during the 1950s and 1960s. K-S is one of many natural systems. The system was definitively described in their 1958 book How to Play Winning Bridge and later revised and retitled to The Kaplan-Sheinwold System of Winning Bridge in 1963.
Kaplan–Sheinwold and the Roth-Stone system were the two most influential challengers to Standard American bidding in the USA in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Although K-S is not frequently played in its original form in the 21st century, many of its features (though not the 12-14 point 1NT opening) survive in the popular 2/1 Game Forcing system. Additionally, a few elements of Kaplan–Sheinwold (notably Five-Card Majors) have become accepted as part of Standard American practice.
Among modern experts, Chip Martel and Lew Stansby play a system closely modeled on K-S, with loads of gadgets. In the late 1960s, the Precision Club system grafted a strong, forcing opening of 1♣ onto K-S, in effect following earlier suggestions by Marshall Miles that five-card majors and the weak no trump be added to the Schenken system. Kaplan viewed Precision with distaste, noting the disadvantages, both theoretical and at-the-table, of combining a strong club with five-card majors.

It's woman season - I'm woman hunting
Every time I go woman hunting
It always seems to blow up in my face
I never really get the things I want
I'm not expecting a pity party or nothing
Any girl'd be nice every now and then
I'm a nice guy - I bathe
Sure I got blue arms - So what?
It doesn't make me a bad person
One example - Just last night I had it all ready
The girl that walked out on me on New years Eve
Well she came back last night
And she said, "I don't have to go home tonight."
I said, "All right."
So - I bought again a case of cold, cold Heiniken
And then - I had it in the van
A big bottle of Jack Daniels
Not the little one, the big one
And I always carry a stash, cause you never know
I had two left, two ludes, for the girl of my dreams
Now,again, she drinks my beer
She drinks my whiskey
She does my Qualudes
5 o'clock comes
"Oh I feel sick - I gotta go home now."
And she threw up all over the floor
I said, "Freeze, freeze - go outside and do that!"
I said, "The hell with this. I don't need this."
"I'll go to the geisha house where it's free."
So I said, "Quit, quit throwing up"
"Don't tell me no, tell me yeah yeah yeah"
Don't tell me no tell me yeah yeah yeah
And she threw up again
Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that
Tell me tell me that
