Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
If salespeople are worried about how to sell, Gitomer (The Sales Bible) believes they are missing out on the more important aspect of sales: why people buy. This, he says, is "all that matters," and his latest book aims to demystify buying principles for salespeople. From the red cloth cover to the small trim size to the amusing (but not cloying) cartoons on almost every page, this is an appealing and accessible book. The author is obviously enthusiastic, if not manic, about sales, and though some of his mantras verge on hokey, much of his prose is straightforward and realistic. Each chapter includes a mini table of contents, pull quotes and takeaway sound bites, examples of typical whines from salespeople (e.g., "the client said they spent their whole budget") paired with a positive response (e.g., "Decision makers make the budget. Non-decision makers spend the budget"), and plenty of advice and ideas that can be taken in and studied as a whole or referred to at random for inspiration.

Honda City helped make these videos
We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
Did you know that the most important thing you can do to care for your tires and improve your fuel economy is to maintain the proper air pressure? Checking the tire pressure in your 1999 Toyota Corolla is relatively easy and important to do on a regular basis. Open the driver side door on your Corolla and look for a sticker that indicates what the tire pressure should be. Don't use the maximum pressure indicated on the sidewall of your tires. It is best to check the tire pressure on your Corolla in the morning before the car has been used or when you have driven it for less than a mile. When you drive your Corolla, the air inside your tires warms up and expands, so to get an accurate reading, check the tire pressure when the car has not been driven recently.
Underinflated tires decrease the gas mileage of your Corolla, wear out faster and make the vehicle harder to steer, whereas overinflated tires blow out more easily, wear out faster and can cause unsafe handling dynamics. For these reasons and more - keeping your tires properly inflated on a regular basis is easy and important.

Ambidextrous Pitcher Gives His Team an Edge
Switch hitters are common in baseball, but what about switch pitchers? A relief pitcher at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., can throw equally well with both arms.
It's almost unheard of in the game, and his coach says it gives the team an edge.

In grade 11 in my school, we are required to take 4 subjects and English from a list of predefined subjects. Today, we were given a grid which helps us make our combo, such that you can only take one subject from each column.
The Grid
| Economics | Maths | Psychology/Politcal Science | English | Geography |
| Hindi/Psychology | History | Sociology | Art | Elective English |
| Maths | Account | Commerce | Economics | English |
| English | Physics | Chemistry | Biology/Computer Applications/Mecahnical drawing | Maths |
The Problem
I'm trying to write a program to list out all possible legal combinations from this table. The rules are:
- English must be present
- There must be a total of only five subjects (English + 4)
- No two subjects can be from the same column
- No subjects in the final five may duplicate (note that Elective English and English are separate subjects)
Now this would be a pretty simply task if it were a normal 4 by 5 matrix. However, [row 1, column 3], [row 2, column 1] and [row 4, column 4] contain more than one subject, out of which you can still pick only one. So any combination with any of those cells can be subdivided into more combinations.
I'm having trouble coming up with an algorithm for this. I'm not asking for free code, but instead help with the algorithm. I'm comfortable with most major languages (Java, JavaScript, PHP etc), and pseudo codes and flowcharts work too.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and H (ApoH) genotypes are known to affect plasma lipoprotein concentrations. By modulating transport and entry of the hepatitis B virus into hepatocytes, apolipoproteins may influence the course of infection. To verify this hypothesis, 105 patients with chronic HBV infection were examined. Sixty-two of the patients were followed-up for a median time of 21 years. One hundred two controls were included. ApoE and ApoH genotypes were determined by the restriction fragment length polymorphism method. A trend was found for progressive overrepresentation of ApoE3/E3 among patients with advanced liver disease: 13/27 (48%) of inactive HBV carriers, 36/61 (59%) of chronic hepatitis B patients and 16/17 (94%) of patients who received liver transplants (P < 0.005). Being an E3/* carrier was associated with a lower probability of loss of HBsAg: 9/56 (16%) versus 3/6 (50%) (P < 0.05); it was also associated with a longer time before HBsAg loss (P < 0.05). No influence of ApoH genotypes on clinical outcomes was found. The probability of disease progression was higher, and that of loss of HBsAg was lower, among patients with the ApoE3 allelic variant. Downregulation and/or reduced binding of the LDL receptor may explain the more benign course of hepatitis B among carriers of ApoE2–E4. J. Med. Virol. 82:224–231, 2010. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Fruit Times
In late 2015 the Environmental Protection Agency issued the long awaited revision to the Worker Protection Standard (WPS). Although it is now technically active it will not be enforced until 2017 but the original WPS will still be enforced until the end of 2016. Please keep in mind that the WPS covers both restricted use AND general use pesticides. This article will deal with the highlights to the revision but also some areas of the current WPS that need emphasized.

According to moth captures in sex pheromone traps located in various orchards in south-central PA, the flight of the third generation Oriental fruit moth (OFM) and the second generation of codling moth (CM) just started this past week. It is probably still too early to initiate control of those pests, however at some locations control may be needed within the next 7-14 days.
Damage from potato leafhoppers is showing up in strawberry and raspberry fields, and by some accounts, seemingly came out of nowhere. This pest moves up from the South in the spring, and by early summer is established in a wide range of crops in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The latest information that growers need to know for apple scab, fire blight, sooty blotch and flyspeck, rots, bacterial spot, and cherry leaf spot.
The Tree Fruit Pathology Lab at FREC is seeking fire blight samples again this season from around the state of Pennsylvania in commercial orchards and home landscapes for evaluation for antibiotic-resistant strains of the bacteria and other projects. If you have fire blight present in your orchard/yard, please contact Dr. Kari Peter for instructions for sampling.
July is usually a good month to assess the results of early season insect pest management practices and to make sure nothing will be missed for the remaining of the season. Early July also marks the beginning of a much higher pressure from brown marmorated stink bug nymphs and summer adults.
Spotted wing drosophila has been found in very low numbers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, so it's time to be watching for spotted wing drosophila presence in raspberries, blueberries, and other thin-skinned fruit. A few Pennsylvania growers reported finding larvae in late-season strawberries.
We all get a little rusty as we get older, but one thing that we don't want to see getting rusty is our brambles. There are several rust diseases that affect brambles. I'm just going to focus on orange rust, which is the most important rust disease in the northeast. We are definitely seeing a bit of orange rust this year, with the cool wet springs. You'll see this disease on blackberries, black raspberries and purple raspberries. Orange rust does not affect red raspberries.
State Department of Agriculture officials announced that the Spotted Lanternfly quarantine has been expanded to Lower Macungie Township, Alburtis and Macungie Boroughs in Lehigh County and New Hanover Township in Montgomery County after small populations of the pest were found. The most recent detections are in municipalities adjacent to previously quarantined areas.
Bumble bees have discriminating palettes when it comes to their pollen meals, according to researchers at Penn State. The researchers found that bumble bees can detect the nutritional quality of pollen, and that this ability helps them selectively forage among plant species to optimize their diets.
This past week we started to see a significant buildup in the numbers of Japanese beetles in many orchards located in southern Pennsylvania. The nymphs of brown marmorated stink are now present in orchards, which indicates a shift from "probable injuries" to actual nymphal feeding (and injuries) on fruit. The end of June is a good time to search for the first male adults of spotted wing drosophila, and traps are a very effective tool to detect increasing populations of SWD.
We continue to observe a strong presence of codling moth adults in pheromone traps placed in commercial apple orchards. Despite the codling moth developmental model suggesting the end of the codling moth egg hatch period (95% eggs hatched by June 25), the presence of moths in the traps in the next few weeks still warrants extended management activities.
Bees and bee health are still making headlines, and sorely needed research results are finally starting to emerge. In early May, Horticultural Research Institute participated in a research symposium at Penn State University where early results from several research projects relevant to pollinator health were shared.
This past week (June 1) we finally captured the first moths of obliquebanded leafroller in pheromone traps. This completes the list of establishing important biofixes for the 2016 season. While the first biofix for the earliest active species, redbanded leafroller happened on March 22 (a tie for the earliest ever), the obliquebanded leafroller biofix was one of the latest on record for the Biglerville area. Looking at the degree day accumulation, it appears we are back to an "average year," with a very similar accumulation of degree days base 43 as during the 2015 season.
A new smartphone application, called MyIPM-NED, was developed to promote integrated disease management for apples, pears, cherries, and cranberries and is available for free for Android and iOS devices. These apps are also able to be used on tablets, as well.
Although we experienced several cool, cloudy weeks, those conditions didn't deter the bacteria and fungi in the orchard. As the temperatures are warming up and the humidity rolling in, disease symptoms are becoming more apparent. Recommendations for several apple and stone fruit diseases folks need to be mindful of are discussed.
This will be the last published run of the Cornell carbohydrate model for determining apple thinning rates and timings. You can still go to the web site and run the model but the model will not give you a recommendation. As I mentioned in the last posting you can interpret the 4 Day Average Balance by looking at the recommendation chart in the "More Info" tab.
We've received a number of calls from growers who are concerned about various types of leaf distortion on their strawberry plants this year. Here is a review of some of the more common causes.

About That Speech…

Are You Quite Sure About That?

And the Endorsements Keep Rolling In…
2016 Election, Donald Trump, Kim Jong-Un, North Korea
North Korea has backed presumptive U.S. Republican nominee Donald Trump, with a propaganda website praising him as "a prescient presidential candidate" who can liberate Americans living under daily fear of nuclear attack by the North.
A column carried on Tuesday by DPRK Today, one of the reclusive and dynastic state's mouthpieces, described Trump as a "wise politician" and the right choice for U.S. voters in the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election.
It described his most likely Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, as "thick-headed Hillary" over her proposal to apply the Iran model of wide sanctions to resolve the nuclear weapons issue on the Korean peninsula.
Read the whole thing.
But, hey! Kim Jong-Un was undoubtedly just reciprocating. After all, back in January, Donald Trump had kind words for North Korea's insane and murderous dictator. In fact, he praised him specifically for his ruthlessness and brutality.
Donald Trump has praised the leadership style of North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-un, for the "amazing" way he murders political rivals.
During a Republican political rally in Iowa at the weekend, he repeated his assertion that Muslims should not be allowed to enter the US before turning his attention to the North Korean despot, who has carried out frequent purges of officials.
"You've got to give him credit. How many young guys – he was like 26 or 25 when his father died – take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden… he goes in, he takes over, he's the boss," said Mr Trump, known for his own less than subtle style of leadership in the American version of The Apprentice.
"It's incredible. He wiped out the uncle, he wiped out this one, that one. This guy doesn't play games.

Best DNC Speech
2016 Election, Democrat National Convention, Hillary Clinton, William Clinton
My Yale classmate Charles Lipson (now teaching law at Chicago) admires the slickness of Slick Willie over at the Huffington Post.
Bill Clinton's convention speech was a tour de force. He had a difficult task to accomplish, or rather, several difficult tasks, and he performed them as well as any politician could.
His overriding task was to humanize Hillary and reintroduce her to America, for the 37th time. He spent much of his speech doing that, sharing anecdotes of Hillary as a student, a loving daughter from a good Midwestern family, a young woman willing to take chances, and a new mother raising Chelsea—all while working on important policy issues in Arkansas. He subtly depicted her as the leader in their marriage, or at least an equal partner, suggesting he knew how to become a "First Husband" and was ready for the role. He spoke of their meeting in the Yale Law Library, falling in love, giving birth to Chelsea, raising her, and taking her to college, becoming empty nesters.
In short, Bill Clinton depicted a real person in a real marriage. It is widely assumed, of course, that their marriage is a sham, filled with his cheating and her cold fury, held together only by their political ambitions. As Dennis Miller once put it, "Bill and Hillary's marriage couldn't have been any more about convenience than if they'd installed a Slim Jim rack and Slurpee machine at the base of their bed." Bill's speech was a long, brilliantly-crafted and perfectly-delivered effort to paint over that image and present a new one. …
In sum, he painted a portrait of someone who deserves to be elected, if you believe the portrait. But do you?
Bill's whole speech led up to that question, and he did not leave it hanging. Using the Tom Sawyer approach he has honed over decades, he asked it directly. He said that he had just described a person who was very different from the person Republicans described last week. That means one of them is real, one's a cartoon. The question is, which picture is the real Hillary? He answered that question in his quietest, most sincere tones, biting his lip and inviting empathy.
It was the work of a master salesman. He brought the buyers into the showroom, showed them a "great buy, exactly what you need" and pointed out all the bells and whistles. But he cannot close the deal himself. He's not running; Hillary is, and she lacks Bill's rhetorical gifts and zest for campaigning. He loves to touch the flesh; she recoils from it. She is a grating, hectoring speaker and a far less effective campaigner than Bill Clinton (or Donald Trump). Now that Bill has primed the customers, the big question is "Can Hillary close the deal?"

Who Hacked the DNC?
2016 Election, DNC, Hacking, Leaks, Russia
Michael Isikoff reports that there are clues to the hackers' identity.
Just weeks after she started preparing opposition research files on Donald Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort last spring, Democratic National Committee consultant Alexandra Chalupa got an alarming message when she logged into her personal Yahoo email account.
"Important action required," read a pop-up box from a Yahoo security team that is informally known as "the Paranoids." "We strongly suspect that your account has been the target of state-sponsored actors."
Chalupa — who had been drafting memos and writing emails about Manafort's connection to pro-Russian political leaders in Ukraine — quickly alerted top DNC officials. "Since I started digging into Manafort, these messages have been a daily occurrence on my Yahoo account despite changing my password often," she wrote in a May 3 email to Luis Miranda, the DNC's communications director, which included an attached screengrab of the image of the Yahoo security warning.
"I was freaked out," Chalupa, who serves as director of "ethnic engagement" for the DNC, told Yahoo News in an interview, noting that she had been in close touch with sources in Kiev, Ukraine, including a number of investigative journalists, who had been providing her with information about Manafort's political and business dealings in that country and Russia.
"This is really scary," she said.
Chalupa's message is among nearly 20,000 hacked internal DNC emails that were posted over the weekend by WikiLeaks as the Democratic Party gathered for its national convention in Philadelphia. Those emails have already provoked a convulsion in Democratic Party ranks, leading to the resignation of DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the wake of posted messages in which she and other top DNC officials privately derided Bernie Sanders and plotted to undercut his insurgent campaign against Hillary Clinton.
But Chalupa's message, which had not been previously reported, stands out: It is the first indication that the reach of the hackers who penetrated the DNC has extended beyond the official email accounts of committee officials to include their private email and potentially the content on their smartphones. After Chalupa sent the email to Miranda (which mentions that she had invited this reporter to a meeting with Ukrainian journalists in Washington), it triggered high-level concerns within the DNC, given the sensitive nature of her work. "That's when we knew it was the Russians," said a Democratic Party source who has knowledge of the internal probe into the hacked emails. In order to stem the damage, the source said, "we told her to stop her research." …
In mid-June, Democratic Party suspicions about the hackers seemed to be confirmed when CrowdStrike, an outside security firm retained by the DNC, reported that it traced the hackers to two separate units linked to Russia's security services: the FSB, Russia's equivalent of the FBI, and GRU, the country's military intelligence agency. The company noted strong similarities between the attack on the DNC by the suspected GRU hackers and previous cyberintrusions of unclassified systems at the White House, the State Department and the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. (After discovering the data breach, a DNC security source said its cyberexperts noted that the hackers' exfiltration of files took place "9 to 5, Moscow time.")
Patrick Tucker, at the Atlantic, has more details.
Considerable evidence shows that the Wikileaks dump was an orchestrated act by the Russian government, working through proxies, to undermine Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
"This has all the hallmarks of tradecraft. The only rationale to release such data from the Russian bulletproof host was to empower one candidate against another. The Cold War is alive and well," Tom Kellermann, the CEO of Strategic Cyber Ventures said.
Here's the timeline: On June 14, the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, under contract with the DNC, announced in a blog post that two separate Russian intelligence groups had gained access to the DNC network. One group, FANCY BEAR or APT 28, gained access in April. The other, COZY BEAR, (also called Cozy Duke and APT 29) first breached the network in the summer of 2015.
The cybersecurity company FireEye first discovered APT 29 in 2014 and was quick to point out a clear Kremlin connection. "We suspect the Russian government sponsors the group because of the organizations it targets and the data it steals. Additionally, APT29 appeared to cease operations on Russian holidays, and their work hours seem to align with the UTC +3 time zone, which contains cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg," they wrote in their report on the group. Other U.S. officials have said that the group looks like it has sponsorship from the Russian government due in large part to the level of sophistication behind the group's attacks.
Last Night's Democrat Convention
Democrat National Convention, Identity Politics, Racial Politics
The DNC list of "communities" — 14 in all — include African-Americans, Americans with Disabilities, European and Mediterranean Americans, a First Caucus and Faith Caucus, a gay and lesbian caucus and a Latino caucus, a caucus for youth, for seniors and for women.
All-inclusive, right? Of course, as long as you're, uh, included.
The Pew Research Center — in a poll of 2,373 registered voters this spring — found women, in general, supported President Obama, 53 percent to 40 percent. Among 221 black people — it did not delineate between black men and black women — 95 percent favored Obama. The poll had a margin of error of 2.1 percentage points.
But the inclusion makes an important omission: white men, particularly those of working age, say between 30 and 64.
Even former-Conservative now-Progressive, turncoat Andrew Sullivan, convention-blogging at New York Magazine, grew uncomfortable early on last night with all the identity-group pandering.
9:15 p.m. A reader is exactly where I am:
I left the Republican party last week after 20 years of voting for, working for, and giving to its candidates. I forgot why I was for it. I heard nothing about the rule of law, limited government, or free enterprise. It has become a grotesque alternation between ambiguous bigotry and overt bigotry; I wanted nothing to do with it. I almost forgot why I am a conservative.
Tonight it is all coming rushing back to me. Is there nowhere to go for someone who is pro-immigrant and pro-rule of law? Also, this parade of identity politics is condescending and embarrassing for everyone participating. Why can't we just treat people like people? It would be nice if the Democrats had some African-Americans, Hispanics, gays, or women speak who did not think that their race/orientation/sex was the only interesting thing about themselves or even the most interesting thing about themselves. Couldn't they have had a disabled girl who was not so entirely predictably and tediously just another flavor of victim?
I remain politically homeless.
Me too.
Of course, this did not actually keep Andrew from instantly reversing himself and reaffirming his loyalty to leftism.
But we nonetheless have to back the Clintons this time. The survival of liberal democracy is in the balance.

Leonardo's Notebooks Yield New Discovery
History, Leonardo da Vinci, Physics, Science
University of Cambridge Research:
Scribbled notes and sketches on a page in a notebook by Leonardo da Vinci, previously dismissed as irrelevant by an art historian, have been identified as the place where he first recorded his understanding of the laws of friction.
The research by Professor Ian Hutchings, Professor of Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St John's College, is the first detailed chronological study of Leonardo's work on friction, and has also shown how he continued to apply his knowledge of the subject to wider work on machines over the next two decades.
It is widely known that Leonardo conducted the first systematic study of friction, which underpins the modern science of "tribology", but exactly when and how he developed these ideas has been uncertain until now.
Professor Hutchings has discovered that Leonardo's first statement of the laws of friction is in a tiny notebook measuring just 92 mm x 63 mm. The book, which dates from 1493 and is now held in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, contains a statement scribbled quickly in Leonardo's characteristic "mirror writing" from right to left.
Ironically the page had already attracted interest because it also carries a sketch of an old woman in black pencil with a line below reading "cosa bella mortal passa e non dura", which can be translated as "mortal beauty passes and does not last". Amid debate surrounding the significance of the quote and speculation that the sketch could represent an aged Helen of Troy, the Director of the V & A in the 1920s referred to the jottings below as "irrelevant notes and diagrams in red chalk".
Professor Hutchings's study has, however, revealed that the script and diagrams in red are of great interest to the history of tribology, marking a pivotal moment in Leonardo's work on the subject.
The rough geometrical figures underneath Leonardo's red notes show rows of blocks being pulled by a weight hanging over a pulley – in exactly the same kind of experiment students might do today to demonstrate the laws of friction.
Professor Hutchings said: "The sketches and text show Leonardo understood the fundamentals of friction in 1493. He knew that the force of friction acting between two sliding surfaces is proportional to the load pressing the surfaces together and that friction is independent of the apparent area of contact between the two surfaces. These are the 'laws of friction' that we nowadays usually credit to a French scientist, Guillaume Amontons, working two hundred years later."
Paper: Leonardo da Vinci's Studies of Friction
Based on a detailed study of Leonardo da Vinci׳s notebooks, this review examines the development of his understanding of the laws of friction and their application. His work on friction originated in studies of the rotational resistance of axles and the mechanics of screw threads. He pursued the topic for more than 20 years, incorporating his empirical knowledge of friction into models for several mechanical systems. Diagrams which have been assumed to represent his experimental apparatus are misleading, but his work was undoubtedly based on experimental measurements and probably largely involved lubricated contacts. Although his work had no influence on the development of the subject over the succeeding centuries, Leonardo da Vinci holds a unique position as a pioneer in tribology.

Kiwis chase playboy's empire frozen funds
Relevant offers
National business
New Zealand and Australian victims of an alleged conman who splashed millions on a private jet and a top-flight Spanish football club are finding recovery action heavy going despite successful freezing of accounts and assets in Switzerland and Bahrain.
Western Gulf Advisory, headed by Bahrain-based Indian Ahsan Ali Syed, made headlines in Australasia in 2010-11 with the promise of large low-interest refinancing loans to distressed businessmen.
But despite tens of millions of dollars being paid in upfront fees, the loans never arrived and putative borrowers have either slid into bankruptcy or angrily launched recovery action claiming the whole enterprise to be a fraud.
One-time Apprentice host Terry Serepisos paid upfront fees to WGA, and up until his bankruptcy in September 2011 insisted a US$100 million loan would satisfy all his creditors.
Gary McNabb, the managing director NZ Mint until he sold the bullion firm last year, also paid US$750,000 to WGA in 2011 and launched recovery action in Switzerland alleging the firm was a fraud.
McNabb was overseas and unable to respond to inquiries.
Lawyer and private investigator Mark van Leewarden, acting for McNabb, successfully froze WGA's Swiss accounts in May 2011 but said he had yet to generate any recoveries or even determine how much was available in the accounts.
"That's the problem with Switzerland, getting a quantum. They're very into their banking secrecy," he said.
New South Wales developer Keith Johnson won a US$3.6m judgment in late 2011 against WGA in the Bahrain Chamber For Dispute Resolution but, he told the Sunday Star-Times, the action - and a parallel criminal complaint - seemed stalled in the gulf state's opaque legal system.
"We've never had any money out of them. We've frozen their assets, but getting them to force sales is difficult," he said.
Johnson vowed to continue his pursuit.
Despite the slow progress in Switzerland and Bahrain, liquidators in Spain and Amsterdam are now mulling criminal charges over disastrous business enterprises that have left millions in debts.
Ali was for a time a playboy figure in the Spanish region of Santander after his early 2011 purchase of La Liga team Racing Santander, wearing polka dot cravats, flying into town on a private jet, and travelling with an entourage of a dozen in a fleet of five Mercedes.
He talked of opening his chequebook to sign David Beckham and making this small club a legitimate contender against league heavyweights rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona FC.
In an interview given to Vanity Fair's Spanish edition in 2011, shortly before the wheels came off his La Liga football club Racing Santander, Ali claimed he attracted criticism only because of his wealth:
"Why do you always attack us rich people? Why do you always attack me and people like [Bernie] Ecclestone and [Roman] Abramovich?"
Ali has not set foot in Spain since May, when accusations against WGA started to surface and players and coaches at the clubs complained of going unpaid. The club cycled through four general managers in the space of a year and after only winning four times during a 38-game season, were relegated and placed into bankruptcy.
According to translated news reports, a report from Racing Santander's bankruptcy administrators held Ali - who refused to co-operate in their inquiries - responsible for €5m in losses from aggravated insolvency.
The public prosecutors office in Cantabria backed a call from administrators for Ali to be banned from being a director in Spain for five years and raised the possibility of criminal charges.
The Sunday Star-Times also understands top-flight PR firm Hill & Knowlton, hired to spruik the Racing Santander purchase globally, is also pursuing WGA over unpaid bill in excess of €500,000.
Ali's private jet, a Bombardier, was repossessed by Credit Suisse in late 2011.
In New Zealand, where Serepisos repeatedly told the High Court that bankruptcy action against him should be suspended as WGA would satisfy all creditors, Ali fended off criticism when he said in February 2011 his operation was international.
"We have recently taken an office in Amsterdam. We will open that office shortly, so we are expanding. I don't think Nigerian scamsters expand."
But in Amsterdam, liquidators have discovered a curious office containing only telephones and a bed, with no evidence of any business activity to justify €800,000 in creditors.
WGA signed agreements in 2010 to rent an office next to the mayor's residence for €450,000 per year. But in late 2011 the Dutch company was bankrupted, and liquidator Jeroen Oostenbrink of HVG has had his attempts to communicate with Ali ignored.
Oostenbrink said he considered conducting a passport trace on Ali so he could be arrested if he returned to Holland, but considered the move to be a waste of time as the WGA founder now appeared to be firmly ensconced in Bahrain.
The transnational nature of WGA's dubious activities is also taxing Ireland's NAMA, the state-controlled bad bank that assumed billions in bad debts made by the private sector to over-leveraged developers.
Late last year NAMA brought bankruptcy action against John McCabe, at one time the property-mad country's third-largest developer. The proceedings are based in large part on €4.9m said to have been "misappropriated or dissipated" when paid into WGA accounts in Bahrain.
Ali's track record before founding WGA appears modest. During an attempted purchase of Premier League team Blackburn Rovers in 2010, BBC investigations revealed a range of petty unpaid rent bills and council taxes in the United Kingdom dating back to 2004.
According to Indian media, Ali was a small-time lawyer before he left the country under a cloud in 2002. He is reportedly wanted by Hyderabad police over a small-time loan scam relating to upfront fees charged for undelivered loans.
WGA and Ali did not reply to inquiries, but recent filings with the Bahrain companies office indicate the putative financial tycoon has branched out into other businesses.
In the middle of last year records show he opened a first class restaurant and juice bar in Manama.

We booked this hotel because of the reviews on TripAdvisor and Rick Steves recommendations. We stayed there for six nights. It is a lovely hotel. The rooms are small, but very practical. The bathroom was very functional. The bed was comfortable. The hotel and rooms are nicely decorated. There was good storage in the room and a small refrigerator where we could store water, etc. The room was very clean. A/C - kept the room at a comfortable temperature. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Excellent location - about two blocks from the Eiffel Tower. We noticed a clean laundry facility across the street. Great cafes, patisseries and restaurants within very short walking distance. A store is about a 1/2 block away. There is a small Italian restaurant 3/4 of a block away on a corner. Excellent gourmet food reasonably priced. The Metro system is not far way and is easy access. We had no problems going to all of the different sites using the Metro/subway system. DO NOT RENT A CAR - easy to get around everywhere and inexpensive. The hotel set up a shuttle service from and to the airport. Good price and reliable. We will definitely stay at the Hotel Londres Eiffel again. Paris was wonderful and we are already planning a second trip. The French people were very nice and helpful (somewhere along the line they got a bad rap), the food was delicious, and the accomodations excellent. Paris is a must see!

Breast Cancer Health Center
Having a serious illness almost always takes some kind of toll on your sex life. But breast cancer can bring all thoughts of intimacy and sexuality to a screeching halt.
Treatments can bring on temporary -- and sometimes permanent -- premature menopause, making intercourse painful. Chemotherapy and radiation often lead to crushing fatigue. You may want to stay in bed, but you don't want to use it for anything but sleep. The medications you take, as well as the emotional effects of the disease, can lead to depression. And of course, from the changes wrought by surgery to the hair loss and puffiness of chemotherapy, breast cancer can have a devastating effect on your body image and your ability to feel sexy.

General Information About Male Breast Cancer
Incidence and Mortality Estimated new cases and deaths from breast cancer (men only) in the United States in 2014:[1] New cases: 2,360. Deaths: 430. Male breast cancer is rare.[2] Less than 1% of all breastcarcinomas occur in men.[3,4] The mean age at diagnosis is between 60 and 70 years, though men of all ages can be affected with the disease. Risk Factors Predisposing risk factors [5] appear to include radiation exposure, estrogen administration, and diseases associated...
Read the General Information About Male Breast Cancer article > >
The sexual side effects of breast cancer can linger long after treatment stops. A 2007 follow-up report on young breast cancer survivors, conducted by researchers at the University of California-Berkeley, found that some women reported persistent sexual difficulties five years after their treatment had ended. And according to the National Cancer Institute, about one out of every two women who've undergone breast cancer treatment experiences long-term sexual dysfunction.
That's the bad news. But the good news is there is sex after breast cancer!
Breast cancer changes the way you see your body. "Women sometimes feel very disconnected from their bodies when they go through this," says Jean Carter, PhD. Carter is a licensed psychologist and the sexual health counselor for the sexual health program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. "Your body's been through so much and it's worked to get well," she says. "But there have been sacrifices."
One thing you need to know early on is that your partner still finds you attractive and desirable. That's rough on the days when you look in the mirror and can't imagine ever feeling sexy again, much less looking sexy to someone else. It's important to prepare yourself and your partner for what you'll see. If you haven't yet had surgery, ask your breast center if they have photographs of women after the kind of surgery you'll undergo. Look at them with your partner and talk about what to expect.

Chris Kluwe to closeted NFL player: You have allies within the league
Kluwe says an active gay player would have plenty of support.
Vikings punter Chris Kluwe appeared on CNN this week to talk with Anderson Cooper about the same-sex marriage cases currently before the Supreme Court. A strong advocate for gay marriage rights, Kluwe said he was disappointed that court justices seemed to be leaning toward a narrow ruling in the Prop 8 case.

"They have a perfect chance to show that American citizens who pay their taxes, who serve in our military, and who are being discriminated against should no longer be discriminated against," he said.
Cooper also asked Kluwe about homosexuality in major league sports, and a recent CBS Sports report that an active NFL player is strongly considering coming out.
"What would be your advice to that person?" asked Cooper.
"Just stay true to yourself, and realize you that you have allies within the league and outside of the league," said Kluwe. "Like I said earlier, there are always going to be people who don't get it, but more and more people are getting it."
