National Gazetteer, 1868
Wick - Extract from National Gazetteer, 1868
"WICK, a parish, seaport, market town, royal and parliamentary burgh, in county Caithness, Scotland. The parish contains, besides the town of its own name, which may be considered the political capital of Caithness-shire, the suburban towns of Louisburgh and Pulteneytown, the villages of Ackergill, Keiss, Sarclet, and Staxigoe. It is bounded on the E. and S.E. by the North Sea, and on the other sides by the parishes of Bower, Canisbay, Latheron, and Watten. It extends in length from N. to S. about 14 miles, with an extreme breadth of 7 miles. The coast, which is indented with numerous creeks, is rocky and precipitous, except towards the N., where it forms Keiss and Wick bays, stretching several miles inland, and skirted by a low beach of siliceous sand. The chief promontory is Noss-Head. The surface is nearly flat, comprising several straths varied only by the hills of Bruan, Camster, and Yarrow. It is now well cultivated, except towards the southern and western borders, where are extensive tracts of bog and moss. It is drained by the rivers Wick and Wester-Water, and by numerous small lochs, as Yarrow, Kilminster, Dhu, Hempriggs, Wick, and Windless. The prevailing rocks are clay-slate and graywacke-slate, with some limestone and sandstone, alternating with pyritous shale near the coast. Traces of iron, lead, and copper are met with in several places, the last-named having been formerly worked. The soil is generally stiff clay and peat earth, alternated with loam and siliceous earth. The largest proprietor is Sir G. Dunbar, Bart. The chief seats are Hempriggs House, of the Dunbars; Ulbster, of the Sinclairs; Keiss House, Harland, Stirkoke, Rosebank, Sibster, Tarmach, and Thrumster. The town of Wick, the principal seat of the northern herring fishery and the county town, occupies a convenient site at the head of Wick Bay, on the left bank of the river Wick, over which is a bridge connecting it with Pulteneytown, which nearly rivals it in population, and contains the only good streets and squares. The town consists of Wick-Proper and Louisburgh, the former irregularly built and dirty, but the principal seat of trade. It contains a town and county hall, court-house, Pulteneytown Academy, branches of the City of Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Commercial banks, also a distillery, brewery, and grain and saw-mills. The principal trade is connected with the herring fishery and herring curing establishments; the other manufactures are rope and net-making, boat-building, and an iron-foundry. There are resident here an agent of the British Fishing Society, and vice-consuls of Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, and the United States; it is also the seat of customhouse establishment. The value of the boats, nets, and lines employed in the herring fishery is about £70,000, and the yield of herrings cured, 165,000 barrels, besides 6,250 not cured. Two weekly newspapers, the John o' Groat Journal and Northern Ensign, are published in the town. Nick was erected into a royal burgh by charter of James VI. in 1589. The town council consists of a provost, 3 bailies, a dean of guild, treasurer, and 9 common councillors, but their authority is limited to Wick-Proper, the British Fishing Society being superiors of Pulteneytown, by whom it was established in 1808. The court of quarter-sessions for Caithnessshire is held here four times a year; also the sheriff's ordinary and commissary courts are held on every Tuesday and Friday, and the sheriff's small-debt court every Tuesday, but the justice of peace small-debt court every alternate Monday. The parliamentary burgh, which includes, besides the royal burgh, all the suburbs, unites with Kirkwall, Dornoch, Cromarty, Tain, and Dingwall in returning one member to parliament: the constituency in 1857 was 264. The parish is in the presbytery of Caithness and synod of Sutherland and Caithness. The minister's stipend is £268 6s. 7d. The parish church was built in 1830, besides which there is a chapel-of-ease in Pulteneytown, built in 1843, and a quoad sacra parish church at Keiss. There are Free churches at Wick, Pulteneytown, and Bruan, a Freechurch preaching-station at Keiss, also Reformed Presbyterian and United Presbyterian churches in Pulteneytown, and Independent, Baptist, Evangelical Union, and Roman Catholic chapels within the parish. There are a parochial school, Pulteney Academy, two General Assembly schools, two Free Church schools, two Society's schools, and several private schools. Market day is on Friday. Fairs are held on the Tuesday after Palm-Sunday, 24th June, 29th July, and on the 17th November (old style), or on the Tuesday after."
"ACKERGILL, a village in the parish of Wick, in the county of Caithness, Scotland, 2 miles N. of Wick. It is situated near Sinclair Bay, and contains Ackergill Tower, a strong castle, which was once the residence of the Earls Marischal. It is now the property of Lord Duffus."
"ALTIMARLACH, a burn in the parish of Wick, in the county of Caithness, Scotland. Its banks were the scene of a famous encounter on the 13th of July, 1680, in which Campbell of Glenorchy, afterwards Earl of Breadalbane, defeated 400 of the Sinclairs, and slew so many that the victors passed the river dry-shod on their bodies. It was in commemoration of this feud that the names were given to the well-known airs, "The Campbells are coming," and "The Braes of Glenorchy.""
"PULTENEY-TOWN, a village in the parish of Wick, county Caithness, Scotland, 1 mile from Wick, of which it is a populous suburb. It is situated under Wick Head, where the Wick Water falls into the Bay of the same name. It was founded in 1808 by the British Fisheries Society, and has on the pier head a fixed light at Pulteney Tower 25 feet high, put up in 1837. The inhabitants are principally engaged in the herring fishery, and in the distilleries."
"RIESS, a village in the parish of Wick, county Caithness, Scotland, 2 miles from Wick. It is situated on Sinclair Bay, near the estuary of the river Wick, which here forms a good harbour."
"SARCLET, a village in the parish of Wick, county Caithness, Scotland, 4 miles S.W. of Wick. There is a convenient harbour for fishing boats. The inhabitants are principally engaged in the fisheries."
"STAXIGOE, a village in the parish of Wick, county Caithness, Scotland, 2 miles N.E. of Wick. It is a tidal port, situated near Noss Head. The village is of great antiquity. The inhabitants are chiefly engaged in the fisheries."

Busy week, with the draft and teams scrambling to get their houses in order leading up to Free Agent Frenzy this weekend. Two major trades dominated the headlines this week, while a few others may impact your draft preparations.
Friday, June 28
At age 40, the Captain shouldn't be considered a huge fantasy factor at this point; however, he finds ways to keep himself relevant. He will remain an option on offense for deeper leagues as long as he refuses to retire. The possible is out there that Ottawa may not be his home...
Another Sather move that boggles the mind. Richards will return next season. Maybe a new coach will revive his career. Consider him a borderline fantasy center next year.
Saturday, June 29
Horton had a decent run with Boston from a fantasy perspective. His health will always be a factor, but he should bring goal-scoring to his next destination.
Sunday, June 30
This year's trade floor shocker was a dandy. Lou isn't content to roll with a pair of senior citizens again at the Rock, so he dealt for the Vancouver goalie that wasn't supposed to be on the block. Schneider won't be the clear-cut in New Jersey (a situation he's vaguely familiar with), but has a better shot at fantasy relevance this year, and especially two years from now. This move certainly boosts Luongo back into the top 10, while dropping Brodeur way down to backup fantasy duty.
McBain should see a small boost in his fantasy value. He has potential to be a decent starting defenseman, and Buffalo boasts a little more offensive gusto than the Canes. This move cements Justin Faulk as the top dog in Carolina.
While these guys have garnered headlines in recent weeks, once there are 30 teams playing hockey in October, you'll likely forget where they landed. Which, incidentally, was Toronto and Winnepeg, respectively.
Forget the fantasy factor, It's a rare treat to have a deal that involves two of the best names in hockey. Nino goes from irrelevance to potential top-6 talent in Minnesota. Clutterbuck will mostly be drafted in leagues that value PIMs with an occasional goal or two.
Monday, July 1
Few players can bring out such diverse, strong emotions as the Vezina/Conn Smythe/Obama snubber. Personally, I'm a fan, so I hope to see him land somewhere special. Don't expect his fantasy value to be very high regardless of destination. Unless, that is, he becomes the next Flyers experiment in net.
Tuesday, July 2
With Nabokov likely flying back to Russia, Thomas looking for a new home, and now DiPietro hitting the road, the Islanders go into this weekend on the hunt for a #1 goalie.
It was looking questionable at times, but the Pens now have their full complement of offensive weapons locked up. This means another few seasons of fantasy dominance by the Penguins.
After cutting ties with Briere, the Flyers added Lecavalier to the set of offensive weapons at their disposal. As for the fantasy impact, I wouldn't plan on any significant change to his production in the new home. He should continue to exist as a depth option on offense for the next few seasons.
Wednesday, July 3
Just a couple months after signing him to a 5 year deal, the Leafs have apparently changed their minds. Depending on where he lands, Grabovski should remain a border-line offensive option in the fantasy world.
Thursday, July 4
While this deal with have fantasy implication for years to come (with the likes of Joe Morrow some day being a potential fantasy star, now in Boston), a couple of significant fantasy players will have new homes and new roles.
Tyler Seguin leaves what was becoming an awkward situation for him in Boston, to become the undisputed #1 center and star for the Stars. While he will see a drop off in surrounding talent, he should see time with Jamie Benn, which ought to help both of their numbers.
Loui Eriksson had faded in recent seasons, but the presence of quality centers in Boston may help him return to the top tier right winger status.
Rich Peverley should remain a viable depth option with occasion goal scoring spurts.
Briere has become a non-factor in regular season fantasy circles. He seems to save all his scoring for the post-season. Don't expect anything earth shaking from this deal. He may see a short term bump as he tries to proves himself in the homeland early in the season. Worth a late-round look.
Look for a flurry of fantasy-relevant deals over the weekend, as Free Agent season opens at noon...

Crocodile Deaths Continue in the Olifants River
Helicopter surveys showed that were a total of 385 crocodiles in the Olifants Gorge and lower Letaba River by late 2009."Our research has shown that these crocodile mortalities are now a recurrent problem that is likely to occur every winter. If mortalities continue at this rate, there will be very few crocodiles in the lower Olifants and Letaba rivers by 2010," added SANParks' head of department: scientific services, Danie Pienaar.
Following these latest deaths, KNP researchers and rangers called for more collaborative efforts to ensure that South African rivers are clear of pollution."It is unlikely that management actions which are taken inside the KNP can solve this problem. One would need a much larger and overarching restoration program for the entire Olifants River system, which should focus on issues such as acid mine drainage, agricultural pesticides and fertiliser use, sewerage treatment and industrial and household sources of pollution," said Pienaar.
During May 2008, crocodiles in the Olifants River gorge in the Kruger National Park started dying, with a mortality rate of 20 crocodiles per week reached during June and July. A total of 170 crocodile carcasses had been recorded by late November 2008. Post mortem examinations revealed yellow-orange coloured, hardened fat in the tails and abdomen - a condition known as Pansteatitis.
Change of waters
Researchers analysed water, sediments, fish and crocodile tissue samples for potential toxins and chemical compounds at laboratories, both locally and around the world. Although many heavy metals, agricultural pesticides, fertilizers, organic waste and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were detected, none were found to be above levels where adverse effects are expected and were therefore not individually responsible for poisoning the crocodiles.An initiative, known as the Consortium for the Restoration of the Olifants Catchment (CROC) was established in order to build a clear cause-effect relationship and it became increasingly clear that the death of all these crocodiles was symptomatic of serious and growing environmental problems in the Olifants River system.This multi-institutional collaborative research program includes representatives from SANParks, national government departments, including the Department of Water & Environmental Affairs, CSIR, research organisations, universities, independent consultants, NGOs and the Water Research Commission.
CROCs research focus centred on further analysis of the water and sediment, fish pathology, water chemistry and algal composition of the river water, the population dynamics of the crocodiles in the Olifants and Letaba river systems, clinical blood parameters of the affected crocodiles in comparison to unaffected crocodiles, invertebrate and fish population dynamics and research into populations of fish-eating birds.Some of the findings have included the fact that invertebrate species numbers have halved compared to 20 years ago, the river has changed from being a free-flowing river with diverse habitats to a standing water body thanks to the back-flooding caused by the raised Massingir Dam wall in Mozambique, numerous pollutants are present in the water and sediment although the levels of these pollutants are relatively low, toxic blue-green algae (Microcystis spp) and dinoflagellate (Ceratium spp) which cause red-tide in marine environments are present. Fish species such as barbell (Clarias gariepinus) show hyperplastic pale gills, liver pathology and some show signs of steatitis in their fat and the fact that crocodiles in the Olifants River already show lower levels of antioxidants than crocodiles found in other water sources.
"We will continue to burn all crocodile carcasses that we find as this seems to limit the spread of disease and will also continue our monitoring of the crocodile populations which includes marking crocodiles with VHF download transmitters, colour-coded tags and both daytime aerial surveys and night spotlight counts. Long term water quality data, collected as part of DWEA's national monitoring programs, will be evaluated to facilitate a better understanding of the status quo of the Olifants River. These monitoring programs include the National Toxicity Monitoring Programme, National Chemical Monitoring Programme and the National Eutrophication Monitoring Programme, amongst others," said Pienaar. Pienaar concluded by saying that the crocodiles dying in the KNP are a clear alarm call that we can not continue to pollute our water sources as we have done for the past several decades.In 2010 only 10 crocodiles died and the numbers continued to decrease, with only 5 reported dead in 2011and four in 2012.

IM-1011-1. Safe Harbor for Business Expansions
This interpretive material concerns the types of business expansions that will not require a member to submit a Rule 1017 application to obtain FINRA's approval of the expansion. This safe harbor applies to: (1) firms that do not have a membership agreement, and (2) firms that have a membership agreement that does not contain a restriction on the factors listed below.
The safe harbor is not available to a member that has a membership agreement that contains a specific restriction as to one or more of the factors listed below. In that case, the agreement takes precedence because FINRA has determined that a particular restriction should apply as to one or more of the factors, and FINRA has issued a decision with a rationale for that restriction. Similarly, the safe harbor also does not apply if the member has a membership agreement that permits expansion beyond the limits set forth below (e.g., an Applicant requests and obtains approval for ten registered representatives in the first six months with an additional ten registered representatives in the next year); in such case, FINRA has specifically considered the firm's expansion plans and approved them.
The safe harbor is not available to any member that has disciplinary history. For purposes of this Interpretation, "disciplinary history" means a finding of a violation by the member or a principal of the member in the past five years by the Securities and Exchange Commission, a self-regulatory organization, or a foreign financial regulatory authority of one or more of the following provisions (or a comparable foreign provision) or rules or regulations thereunder: violations of the types enumerated in Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Section 15(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933; SEC Rules 10b-5 and 15g-1 through 15g-9; NASD Rules 2110 (only if the finding of a violation is for unauthorized trading, churning, conversion, material misrepresentations or omissions to a customer, front-running, trading ahead of research reports or excessive markups), 2120, 2310, 2330, 2440, 3010 (failure to supervise only), 3310, and 3330; and MSRB Rules G-19, G-30, and G-37(b) & (c).
For those firms to which the safe harbor is available, the following types of expansions are presumed not to be a material change in business operations and therefore do not require a Rule 1017 application. For any expansion beyond these limits, a member should contact its district office prior to implementing the change to determine whether the proposed expansion requires an application under Rule 1017. Expansions in each area are measured on a rolling 12-month basis; members are required to keep records of increases in personnel, offices, and markets to determine whether they are within the safe harbor.
"Associated Persons involved in sales" includes all Associated Persons, whether or not registered, who are involved in sales activities with public customers, including sales assistants and cold callers, but excludes clerical, back office, and trading personnel who are not involved in sales activities.
Number of Associated Persons Involved in Sales | Safe Harbor — Increase Permitted Within One Year Period Without Rule 1017 Application |
1–10 | 10 persons |
11 or more | 10 persons or a 30 percent increase, whichever is greater |
Number of Offices (registered or unregistered) | |
1–5 | 3 offices |
6 or more | 3 offices or a 30 percent increase, whichever is greater |
Number of Markets Made | |
1–10 | 10 markets |
11 or more | 10 markets or a 30 percent increase, whichever is greater |

Crisis Management Guide
Convention Services Manager
Potato Expo 2013, hosted by the National Potato Council (NPC) on Jan. 9–11 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The five-year-old event brings together every sector of the potato industry, from fresh potato farming to chips and processing. This year's meeting, held in Orlando, drew just over 1,500 attendees.
Five years ago, Mark Szymanski, the NPC's director of public relations, and Hollee Alexander, the organization's director of meetings and industry outreach, wanted to do something to unite the potato industry. "The potato industry is very state-by- state organized," Szymanski said. "Each state and region have their own expo, and there was no real one central place where the potato industry was coming together as a whole." Alexander added: "The industry said, 'We all want to minimize travel.' There was some overlap, too, and people were going to multiple meetings." That first year, Potato Expo saw 911 attendees and 63 exhibitors. The annual show has grown every year since. "Our biggest challenge has been to manage the growth," Alexander said, "and to be able to plan ahead for that growth." In 2012, attendee numbers were so high that NPC had to move the trade show from inside the convention area to a tented space outdoors. "We are kind of bursting at the seams at our trade show," Szymanski said. Another challenge for 2013 comes from Potato Expo's location. While Las Vegas is convenient for attendees - much of NPC's membership is located in the Pacific Northwest - the city is also hosting the 150,000-attendee International Consumer Electronics Show at the same time. Szymanski said: "It'll be a challenge to work around a much bigger show that takes over the whole city."
Convene's Pre-Con/Post-Con series asks meeting planners about their challenges and how they intend to address them (Pre-Con), and then circles back around after the meeting has occurred (Post-Con) to see how well they worked out.

Hi, My name is XXXXX XXXXX my goal is to provided you with Excellent Service,
1. Who made the down payment ?
2. Is your ex-girlfriend able to qualify for a mortgage loan to buy you out, if necessary ?
I made down payment, paid closing and have paper trail to prove. Was a required necessity of title company. No she is not able to qualify at this time.
Hi, Brooks, Thank you for your additional information,
I do not see anything favorable for you in signing a Quit Claim Deed to your ex-girlfriend. You would be giving her complete title to the property, but you would still be liable on the mortgage note. She would not be able to pay you for the down payment you made on the house since she does not qualify for a mortgage loan. Worse still, pretty much all notes and mortgages have a "Due on Sale" clause which means that the lender can call in the full amount of the mortgage loan balance if you transfer title to the property.
While I appreciate the fact that you want to be fair, I cannot see any way that you could transfer title to her and be fair to yourself because she will own the property and you will be stuck making the monthly mortgage payment, until the lender finds out about the transfer, then the loan will be immediately payable in full. In such event , you would not even be able to sell the property because it will be in your ex-girlfriend's name,
Please be kind enough to rate Excellent Service" so that I receive credit for assisting you,
Bonus and Positive Feedback on survey is very much appreciated,
(1) You would still be liable under the mortgage note;
(2) She would not be able to buy your interest out since she does not qualify for a mortgage loan
would "Due on Sale" clause on morgage contract even apply if we were going for 50% ownership each. My name would still be on title along with hers
Hi, Brooks,
I never like to assume anything because it is usually not safe to assume anything, but normally, if the mortgagor (you) is still in title, the mortgagee (lender) does not consider this a transfer for purposes of calling in the loan,
You are welcome, Brooks, Please do not forget to give me a rating so that I can receive credit for assisting you, otherwise I will not receive any credit for my work,

Saturday Night Live has gotten pretty adept recently at letting falling stars come in and make the best use of some late-night airtime, or at least take some credit for the regular cast's reliable hilarity. This week, Seth Myers offered a spirited critique of the much-chattered-about Time magazine cover, both for its seemingly lurid layout and the mountain of psychological torture the featured child will probably endure at the hands of his future classmates. Here's hoping his mom is teaching him how to deal with assholes even as she's helping fortify his little brain.

Colors of dark grey and black fill the world in which I live
No other feeling could possibly be worse than this
Where once was a room filled with laughter and cheer
Now stands loneliness, emptiness, and despair. ...
Crying Poems
Sad Poems about Crying
Everybody cries sometimes, and if you don't you should. Crying is a natural way of letting go of pent up emotions. It is sad fact that many children are shamed for crying. Adults who are led to believe that crying is not OK may repress their feeling of sadness. Emotions that are not allowed to release tend to leak out in other areas of their lives. The ability to express our emotions whether alone or in communication to others is necessary for a happy life.

The link in the Doolittle Raid story,www.usshornet.org, is wrong. The correct link is Web Link. But there are no DETAILS on Saturday's Doolittle event on that site. The details in the Danville Express are incomplete and some of what is there is incorrect. Best bet is to call the museum number in the story: (510) 521-8448. They are very helpful.

Battle of Tannenberg, also called Battle of Grünfelde, or Grunwald, (July 15, 1410), battle fought at Tannenberg (Polish: Stębark) in northeastern Poland (formerly East Prussia) that was a major Polish-Lithuanian victory over the Knights of the Teutonic Order. The battle marked the end of the order's expansion along the southeastern coast of the Baltic Sea and the beginning of the decline of its power.
Forces from Poland and Lithuania, which had recently united politically, were proceeding toward the order's stronghold at Marienburg when they were met by the order's army, in one of the largest cavalry battles of the age, between the villages of Grünfelde (Polish: Grunwald) and Tannenberg. Though the order defeated the Lithuanian contingent, the ranks of the Poles remained unbroken. By the end of the 10-hour battle, the order's forces had been crushed and its grand master, most of its commanders, and 205 of its knights had been killed. Subsequently, many Prussian castles controlled by the order surrendered to the Polish-Lithuanian force, and, though Marienburg, which was defended by Heinrich Reuss von Plauen, did not fall, the Teutonic Knights never regained their impetus. Memory of the defeat lived on: when in 1914 a German army routed Russian invaders at the same spot, the German high command portrayed it as revenge for the defeat of the order five centuries before.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Walt Disney Co. must consider letting disabled customers use Segway scooters at its theme parks, the U.S. Appeals Court in San Francisco said Tuesday.
The court overturned a judge's decision throwing out a lawsuit by a woman with muscular dystrophy who said Burbank, Calif.-based Disney violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by not allowing her to use a Segway.
The court ruled that Disney must take into account evolving technologies. It sent the case back to the trial court in Santa Ana, Calif.

©2008 Richard Branson (P)2010 Random House Audiobooks
"Eccentric read by an eccentric man."
I've made a habit of reading/listening to many popular business books in the last couple of years. Branson undoubtedly has made a great success of himself and he's done it in interesting ways. But this book was less successful compared to others I've read as far as offering instruction or relatable ways of conducting your own business. The stories told were interesting and it was fascinating to hear about the genesis of the Virgin brand, but at some point, the reader needs more than what amounts to "think outside the box" and "take risks". Lastly, this is defintely geared towards the "start up" -- creating a brand and going big. From the stand point on working within an existing company, perhaps one with a more conservative outlook, it was difficult to relate.
"Somewhat disappointed"
The beginning of this book is great. He goes into detail about how he handled himself and parts of his companies. However, Later on the book becomes a commercial. He goes into explaining why his Product/Service X is better than the rest. He explains more why his company is better and not how he made it better.
A transplanted Englishman, I spend my time on biography, history and military books. I appreciate good English and good narration.
"the voice comes through"
excellent reader, excellent authentic writing by branson
concrete examples, lack of bluster, honest description written as if he was talking
clues and rules on how to create a supportive culture and a happy workplace
an expert soaked in his subject
cut off before the last two chapters he knows nothing about global warming and it would take shakespeare to make that hackneyed subject ear worthy i'll decide whether to do anything without his help and what he had to say could have been conveyed in 2 sentences
neither did i need to be told to spend my career...from day 1...with efforts...no matter how small...to do good (ughhhhh)
this reduced it to 4 stars but if i could have made it 4 1/2, i would.
"Very Enlightening"
Richard was able to give a new insight of becoming an entrepreneur. I highly recommend getting his book. At the very least inspired me to give it my all.
"Great story by a great man"
Really good book overall. It became a little long winded at times but otherwise, it's great! Don't hesitate to buy it.
"great book"
Great book, a must buy. I loved hearing a Richards perspective on business and on new markets.
"Felt like more of the same"
I was hoping for nuggets of wisdom on how to run a business. You got a few, but mostly it was Richard Branson patting himself on the back for what a success he is and how much fun he has. The book takes you through each of his business enterprises and shows you how they started, how some failed and how most succeeded. He is a good guy, I really like him, but this is the second book I listened to and both seem like a giant soap box of a commercial to get you to fly Virgin, or buy Virgin. Too bad Gildardt Jackson didn't narrate this one. I feel he could capture Sir Richard's essence better than Adrian Mulraney. Jackson also had much more emotion. Mulraney was just plain boring at times, combined with the content of this book (which I already got from the first book I listened to) was just putting me to sleep!
Recommended for any entrepreneur, executive, Student, CEO or business mind. Richard strips away all of the PR and marketing and breaks his success down in a terrific read.
"The voice reading the book put me to sleep"
Please hire a new voice for reading
Good book, ok audio, kind of into himself for majority of the book
"Simply brilliant"
Firstly you have to accept that RB has an ego and that it is so embedded in his writing that some of the statements may make you cough a little. Once you accept this you are listening to a riveting yarn.
I read this on the beach last year and the the book is full of my 'red written notes'. I felt that the audio book would be a good tool to supplement and enhance the lessons I already took.
It is a must for those like me who are both entrepreneurial and contrarian in business.
Enjoy his work and learn from him. He is very good.
"great book awful narration"
great book but this guys voice is hard to sick. I honestly thought that it was a robot at stages.
"A great story well told"
Very well put by a man who grasped the nettle on more than one occasion and with points you can take for life and business.
"Inspiring book"
highly recommended read especially if you want to grow your business with good ethics to sustain our future. I hope I have the opportunity to do this at the level of Richard Branson. I'm confident I will.
"Inspiring thanks Richard"
This is a grew book that gives inspiration for an entrepreneur but ventures beyond the business world into subjects that effect is all in life , such as of the climate challenges faced by the modern world . The discussion on purpose in life was thought provoking. A well written and narrated audio book .
"Great insight"
This audio had me engaged all the way through. An inspirational listen which lead me to read more autobiographies of inspirational people.
"Annoyingly boring voice (not Branson)."
I'm struggling to finish this. Is only the story that's keeping me on it. The voice is almost unbearable! Everyone who's heard me listen to this (in the car etc) have said the voice is terrible (without my comment).
Ps. So you know, It's little about Branson's upbringing and very much about his businesses and business beliefs.
"A good listen"
I just could not make myself switch off this audio book. It is very good. Justifiably he does talk about climate change. Having his own airline and be concerned about climate did not sit well with me.
Overall a great book is worth 11 and 45 mins worth of listening time.
"Nothing useful"
Several hours of advertising of how good Virgin is and how much it cares about everything.
"Loved it"
Really enjoyed the book and found it inspiring. Let down by the narrator though, not keen on his rather dry voice.

The law already impacted online gaming services, such as the PlayStation Network. It's going to impact it some more. According to Sony, the PSN Store is going offline for all players starting on June 29. The law goes into effect on July 1. Online play will still be functional; however, maintenance to comply with the new law will take down the PSN Store. Sony hopes to have the PSN Store back up sometime this year.

And there's no ETA on when it will be back other than this year. And that sucks.「선택적 셧다운제」시행에 따른 「PlayStation®3」상에서의 PlayStation®Store서비스 일시 정지에 대해서 [PlayStation Korea]Reply54 repliesLeave a reply
