By the end of 1940, Miss Mary Beard, Director of the Red Cross Nursing Service, acknowledged that Shimmoler had the idea of something that was needed. However, there was a general lack of enthusiasm among most medical officers. As late as July 1940, the Chief of the Medical Division felt that in time of war, nurses would not be used on airplane ambulances. He felt it was too dangerous for a woman and that they could not handle the physical and mental demands.
Without the personal interest of General David N. Grant, an air surgeon, the concept of the flight nurse as a part of the medical team might not have ever been realized during this time because of the military's indifference and the danger during war time. But, on Nov. 30, 1942, an urgent appeal was made for graduate nurses for appointment to the Army Air Forces Evacuation Services. The nursing program at Bowman Field, KY was at this time under the direction and leadership of Capt. Grace Mundell.
On Feb. 18, 1943 the first formal graduation of nurses of the 349th Air Evac Group was held at the base chapel at Bowman Field. The 30 members of this group had completed a program on instruction that was only in the experimental stage. The 4 week course included class work in air evac nursing, air evac tactics, survival, aeromedical physiology, mental hygiene in relation to flying, training in plane loading procedures, military indoctrination and a one day bivouac.
Gen. David N. Grant officiated over the first class graduation. At the end of his address, realizing no one had thought of an insignia for the flight nurse, he unpinned his own miniature flight surgeon's wings and pinned them on the honor graduate, 2nd Lt. Geraldine Dishroon, remarking that the insignia of the flight nurse would be similar to that of the flight surgeon, with the addition of a small "N" superimposed on it. Having created this insignia on the fly without authority, there was much difficulty having it manufactured as no insignia manufacturer would make the wings without the War Department's approval.
The School of Air Evacuation was the first of its kind and its influence was world wide. During 1943 nurses from the Royal Canadian Air Forces attended the school. The Brazilian Government, in cooperation with the Brazilian Red Cross, sent a representative to study the school so that one could be instituted in Brazil.
The training of the flight nurse was designed to equip her for her duties in connection with the evacuation of the sick and wounded and prepare her for duty with ground medical installations. In order to become a flight nurse, graduate nurses were required to apply for a commission in the Army Nurse Corps. After a minimum of 6 months in the Army Service Forces unit hospital, she could apply for admission to the school. She had to be 62-72 inches in height, weight from 105-135 pounds, her age between 21-36. Physical fitness was important, in view of the fact most of the work was done at altitudes of 5,000 to 10,000 feet. Work at that altitude is very tiring. The work of the flight nurse was not without danger. The aircraft used, usually C-46, C-47 or C-54 types, acted in a dual capacity. They carried cargo and troops to the battle fronts, after the planes were unloaded they were rapidly converted into ambulance planes for the return trip. Because of the dual use of the planes, they were not marked with the Geneva Red Cross, and on the return trip they were fair game for the enemy. Thus all nurses, who entered this field were volunteers.
In July 1943, 2nd Lt. Ruth M. Gardiner died in an aircraft crash en
route to evacuating patients in Alaska. She was the first USAAF flight
nurse killed in a combat theater. She was with the 805th MAES. Gardiner
General Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, is dedicated to the memory of Second
Lieutenant Ruth M. Gardiner as the first Air Evac nurse killed in the line of duty.

Last week, the NSW Supreme Court ruled in favour of One.Tel directors Jodee Rich and Mark Silbermann in their long-running case against the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. Justice Robert Austin said ASIC's contentions were "superficial" and awarded costs of $15m to the defendants, leaving the taxpayer with a bill of $40m. Austin slammed ASIC's reams of evidence as "unpersuasive when the underlying financial detail was investigated." (photo of NSW Supreme Court by angusf)
The full transcript tells of a remarkable case treated only superficially by many parts of the Australian media because of the bad light it cast the country's two main media families: the Murdochs and the Packers. In particular the scions James Packer and Lachlan Murdoch come out of the affair with their reputations badly damaged and capable of Alexander Downer-like feats of forgetfulness.
Only the Fairfax Sydney Morning Herald ran with the story of the "billionaires' forgetfulness". The executive directors faced the music after the telecommunications company collapsed in 2001. Rich and Silbermann were two of One.Tel's four executive directors. Rich was joint chief executive and Silbermann was finance director. The other two Brad Keeling and John Greaves settled out of court. Rich alleged former Prime Minister John Howard used his brother Stan to pressure him to settle because of Kerry Packer's interest in the case. Although James Packer was a non-executive director, the judge said he was substantially involved in One.Tel's day-to-day affairs. Rodney Adler and Lachlan Murdoch were also non-executive directors during this time.
The key to the case was One.Tel's financial position in the first four months of 2001. ASIC's case was the reality was much worse than publicly presented and the defendants deliberately withheld this information from the board. The defendants said One.Tel's position was inextricably linked with Packer's Publishing and Broadcasting Ltd and Murdoch's News Ltd. At the time, PBL and News told the ASX they were "misled" by the directors.
ASIC then sought orders for the defendants to be disqualified from managing or being a director of any company. The judgement eight years later was massive with 104 affidavits, 425 exhibits, 37 witnesses, 232 hearing days, 16,642 pages of evidence and 4,384 pages of final written submissions. The main reason for this was the complex nature of ASIC's case. It tried to prove the defendants breached their statutory duty of care and diligence by failing to disclose to the board the true financial position of a large multi-national company over four months. The defendants attempted to show the end result of voluntary administration was related to the way One.Tel was governed from inception as well as the complex relationship with the Packer and Murdoch families, including the extent to which PBL and News influenced decisions.
Justice Austin rejected over half of the witness evidence from ASIC's forensic accountant. PricewaterhouseCoopers partner Paul Carter was retained by ASIC to prepare a report on its evidence but much of that evidence came from people who were not called at the trial and Austin ruled it inadmissible. ASIC then used complex financial documents and tables of financial information based on daily cash flow spreadsheets, management accounts, trial balances and aged creditor reports. However Austin was unimpressed by much of this material which was often merely data and did not materially add to the case against Rich and Silbermann.
Justice Austin was also unimpressed by the "strength of recollection" of the testimony of Packer and Murdoch. Packer admitted he had deliberately tried to forget the events of the period. Rich's lawyers successfully undermined ASIC's claim Packer was a "thoughtful and intelligent" witness. Justice Austin said Packer's evasiveness in cross-examination, argumentativeness, and his inability to remember key details undermined his reliability. Justice Austin also said Packer's evidence over whether his father Kerry made any money out of One.Tel was "confusing and unsatisfactory." In nine days of testimony, Packer said "he could not recall" more than 1,500 times.
Lachlan Murdoch was equally vague and amnesiac as James Packer. Murdoch used the phrase "I do not recall" almost 900 times for a daily rate higher than Packer. However, Justice Austin said the implication of Murdoch's evidence was less damaging because he operated at a distance from One.Tel, "both physically and in terms of engagement." According to Austin, Murdoch played the News Corp company line happy that PBL was the lead investor close to the business and he distinguished between the company position and his own position as a director of One.Tel.
After 3,800 pages Justice Austin's conclusions were brief enough. "ASIC has failed to prove its pleaded case against either of the defendants. Therefore judgment should be entered for Mr Rich and Mr Silbermann in the proceedings." ASIC is reviewing the judgement for grounds for an appeal. ASIC Chairman Tony D'Aloisio said last week the case should provide important guidance to executives and directors on the exchange of information between the board and management. "'The case has also provided important guidance to ASIC on how to run similar matters in the future," he said.
Ian Ramsay, director of centre for corporate law at Melbourne University, agreed the judgement gave "strong lessons" for ASIC. Speaking on ABC's Inside Business today, Ramsay said ASIC's case was too broad. Ramsay said the case may be of help to the special purpose liquidator's $230 million claim against Packer and Murdoch for a cancelled rights issue. ASIC didn't have to prove the defendants intentionally misled the board or withheld information from it, but only that they breached their duty of care and diligence to keep the board informed of the company's financial position. Their failure to prove this left open the question whether other directors including Packer and Murdoch were careless in failing to find out. That question has yet to be decided.

Thoughts not only cause us to sin; they also reveal who we are.
The psalmist said, "search me, oh God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts." He was willing for God to reveal the tendencies and desires of his soul. "If there is evil in me, show me, LORD."
Examining our thoughts, we know how we are doing. If one is evil, as Jesus mentioned, "from the heart flows evil thoughts: death, adultery, lies, stealing and more." If one is honest, the wiseman said, "the desire of the just is only good."
How important it is to live in peace and victory. Let us live with good thoughts.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the break, been really busy moving country and also settling in. Where Did I move to You Ask….NIGERIA! Why you ask, I was wondering the same thing myself…lol. The reason why am back is hopefully to go to law school (If I get accepted), do national service (called Nigerian Youth Service Corp), to be with my family (parents and two other siblings live here) and then to get a job.
The heat is horrible but acclimatised to it so that's good, got work experience as a law intern aswell. The working environment is not what I expected, very relaxed and chilled. Also learning how to drive but its scary cause the roads are bad and there is a lot of different forms of public transportation on the roads. The worst being the Okada (motorcycle) drivers ,they are reckless drivers so for a learner like me its awful.
Besides the hustle and bustle going on am just trying to adapt and what I have realised though is that Nigerians know how to have fun. For me I think its strange in a work place where I would think things should be serious but that's the life-style here. Some people call it 'faji' (enjoyment) lol…I say wasting your precious time when you could be doing something useful.
Am thinking of putting up pictures to show what I wear to work. My dressing is kind of boring so don't expect anything too flashly, at the end of the day I am going to work not clubbing…lol
Yes I know I know I need to loosen up at times, am trying really hard to change and just enjoy myself once in awhile.
What has everyone been up to since my break, anything exciting?!
pls post your comments and have a blessed week!
Love Love Love to you all

Hello Folks, sorry I disapeared for awhile. Review week wore me down, I had several good ideas for posts, but I forced myself to write a review instead and I ran out of steam and time to write on Thursday. I've had a really busy weekend, I helped my brother move and rebuild a metal carport on Thursday, day out with the wife and family BBQ on Friday, and big rides on Saturday and Sunday.
So whats up? First I am glad to say I've ridden my bike 11 days straight, in fact in the last 22 days I have only not ridden one day. This is kind of amazing for me because I have always been a fair weather rider; meaning if I was a little sore, if it was windy, or if I just didn't feel like it then I wouldn't ride. I rode 698 miles in July, and I've gotten in 2741 miles for the year.
I have my wife to thank for this because she has kept me going on days where I wasn't dying to ride. Shauna herself has gotten really interested in riding, we're even planning a trip to Wisconsin to ride some bike trails, hopefully we'll escape the 105 degree heat index.
I did a mountain bike ride yesterday at Land Between the Lakes, which is a National recreation area in Kentucky. LBL is one of those things that I constantly thank the federal government for. Imagine a place where you can fish, horseback ride, camp, hike, waterski, hunt, ride ATVs, see bison, go to a planetarium, oh and ride some awesome mountain bike trails. It works because of regulation, the horseback and ATV riders have their own trails, though I'd cringe to see what they look like. For all those people, who think the federal government is useless and they are overtaxed and over regulated I'd point them to the infrastructure that let me drive 90 miles in an hour and half to ride my mountian bike, or the millions of other modern marvels that make this truly the golden age for humans on Earth.
I recently listened to a biker, no, not a cyclist such as you and me, but a honest to god biker, the kind that dress up in leather instead of lycra, and ride their Harley around looking to raise some hell. I listend to this biker complain about how the government was ruining everything, he cited an example of a nearby motorcycle rally that was ruined by an over abundance of law enforcement presence. The thesis of his argument was summed up with this quote, "Anytime people are having fun the government will either tax it, or ban it." I guess law enforcment should turn a blind eye to the inevitable stabbing thats all part of the fun?
Anyway I'm talking about my mountain bike ride, I met seven other people who all got together thanks to the Shawnee Mountain Bike Association. I was really worried about this ride, I'm not a very good mountain biker and have a history of going on group mountian bike rides and being the anchor. You know, the guy who is consistantly 5 minutes behind everyone else that the group has to wait on whenever there is a fork in the trail.
I'm happy to report I was off the front of the group the whole time, mainly because it was a beginer friendly ride and everyone was having fun and riding casually. I was so wired to keep up my efforts had me leaving the group
behind. My lighter weight and conditioning had to help though, I was climbing hills in my middle ring that in the past I'd barely inched up in my granny. I'm also glad to report that there was no anchor because of the awesomess of the group, the strongest rider would often hang back with whomever was last and there was never a person who was always comming in alone while everyone waited.
Thankfully I had fun, and contrary to popular belief the government didn't tax it, or ban it, in fact they funded it, oh and no one got stabbed.

You can do it at home! I mean, I can listen to the internet at work, but my office computer has crap speakers, and I have this one colleague who always seems to want to come to my office to chat.

Getting Schooled by Grace (Titus 2:11-15)
I remember finishing my coursework for Seminary and thinking I am never again going to read something someone assigns to me. All of my reading from now on will be free reading, that lasted a couple years. When I was in Seminary it was law, my professor made me read the book, if I didn't read the book I didn't pass the class.
I took a job at the church as an intern and was assigned several books over that time period. On staff here I think of it as grace, my position isn't going to be jeopardized over not reading a book in a timely manner, yet grace has made a demand (Romans 6:14, we are not under law, but under grace) that I read the book, therefore my desire should be to want to please the one who has given me this grace, so I read the book. Fortunately, I have not been assigned a book that I didn't want to read, but even if I was, I would read it with joy because grace asked me to do it. I know it's not a perfect picture of the difference between law and grace, but it's at least similar. In my position at church I am no longer under a professor, I have already got the job, yet I am still under authority.
If you have read Galatians 3 you begin to get a taste of the importance of law in the Christian life (Gal. 3:24). Although we are not bound by the law it still serves a purpose in our salvation in that it is a tutor, a teacher that educates us on our position in Christ. Once we are believers (Galatians 3:25) we are no longer in school, the teacher no longer has authority over us. Yet we are under grace, and grace makes demands, it schools us! Paul let's Titus know what one of those schooled by grace moments are in this passage.
Paul tells Titus that grace "teaches us to say no to ungodliness". We live in a culture where no is a four letter word. Grace can't possibly tell us no because that sounds too much like law. Doesn't grace mean I can do anything? No! We are under grace, grace can and should tell us what to do or not to do. Grace also teaches us to say yes to right living in the same passage. it tells us this because of one reason, Jesus. Jesus gave himself for us, the grace He gives asks us to do and not do certain things.
As you are leading, is grace a fundamental part of your leadership style? I hope it is. I hope that it teaches you to say no to ungodliness and yes to right living because people are watching. I promise you they are watching your every move and they are stacking it up against what you say. Let's get schooled by grace every day!
Lead with Love,

Thousand Suns — Designer Notes — Rambling Thoughts on SF Gaming
For obvious reasons, the nature of science fiction roleplaying has been on my mind lately. It's a topic I think I know well and have talked about at some length for pretty much as long as I've been a professional writer, even before. Thousand Suns, is, in many ways, an experiment, a conscious attempt to put into practice some of the theories I've been developing about what makes a good SF RPG and why. The thing that I find a bit disconcerting, as I work on it, is how rarely any of the things I'm purposefully choosing to do have been done in the past. I tend not to think of myself as being deeply original or insightful, so, when I look around and find that everyone else is constantly attempting to reinvent the wheel with shapes other than circular ones, I have to wonder if maybe, just maybe, I've missed something somewhere. Can it really be that no one has ever really given much thought or taken much time to observe the trials and tribulations of SF RPGs?
A couple of data points:
1. Aside from licensed games, the only truly successful SF RPG was GDW's classic Traveller. Its success was real and is well-documented, selling, if I recall, over 100,000 copies of its various books between its release in 1977 and 1981 or so (after which it started to sell much less, for reasons I'll mention shortly). Let me note that, for the purposes of this discussion, that "SF RPG" basically means a space-oriented game and not cyberpunk or post-apocalyptic game, though both could quite rightly be called SF RPGs.
2. The decline in Traveller's sales started about three or four years after its initial release, which is certainly to be expected. I imagine D&D sold far fewer units even back in the heyday of tabletop gaming after a few years on the shelf. However, Traveller's sales of supplements, for example, show that the decline was far more steep. The first supplement to the game, 1001 Characters, which was just a collection of randomly generated characters for use as quick NPCs or even PCs, sold almost 50,000 copies in 1978. The last supplement, Veterans, also a collection of randomly generated characters, albeit much more detailed ones to go with a much more complex character creation system, was released in 1983 and sold just over 10,000 copies. The same general trend can be seen in other areas of Traveller publishing, from rules books to adventures. By the end of classic Traveller in 1987, most products sold less one-fifth what the first releases did.
Now, I suppose it is possible, even probable, that most game lines suffer the same fate as classic Traveller did. It's just the natural cycle of publishing anything for many years. There's certainly a great deal of truth in that. As I said, I'm sure even D&D suffered the same way. That aside, I can't help but think that Traveller suffered because, as the game line wore on, it produced fewer and fewer "generic" supplements and became ever more entangled in its Third Imperium setting. Believe it or not, lots of people back in the day didn't use the official setting for their Traveller games. I know I didn't. In fact, it wasn't really till very late in the classic period that I paid much attention to the GDW continuity, setting all my games in one of the earliest incarnations of the setting that would become Fourth Millennium. This was hardly uncommon and it's certainly why I didn't buy many classic products when they were released.
Obviously, official settings have utility and many people like them. Indeed, nowadays I'd wager that vastly more gamers use official settings than homebrews, particularly if, like me, they're older and have children and other adult responsibilities that prevent them from poring over hand-drawn maps and statting up NPCs by hand for hours on end. At the same time, I also know that, even time-starved adult gamers don't like being hemmed in or constrained by settings that detail every last detail. Younger gamers who are mystified at the continuing appeal of the World of Greyhawk among their elders probably just see it as a big map with evocative names, a rough history, and some fuzzy details and they're right. What they fail to understand is that those are features, not bugs, and it's Greyhawk's "creative roominess" that makes it so appealing. Traveller's Third Imperium was initially like this, so that even those guys who used the setting weren't necessarily locked into a single interpretation of the setting or couldn't make all sorts of changes to it with relative ease. I remember very well that, when I finally did start running an "official" Traveller campaign, I portrayed the Imperium as pretty much corrupt from top to bottom, with only the frontier nobility of the Spinward Marches holding true to the traditions of honor and virtue long since forgotten by the decadent core worlds. That was a perfectly valid way to run a Traveller campaign back then, because we knew so little about the Imperium or how it functioned. And, again, that was made the setting appealing.
The problem for SF gaming is that there aren't any Greyhawks out there, not anymore. Instead, we have either licensed properties (which, by their very nature, tend to alienate people who either aren't fans of the property or who think the property isn't being handled "right") or intricately detailed settings that leave too little scope for individual creative initiative. For reasons I have never understood, RPGs, whether SF or otherwise, simply do not adopt the "big box" approach to setting design: provide a largely canvas with broad swaths of detail and lots of hastily-sketched areas onto which GMs and players alike can add their own colors and shading. Part of it, I fear, is because RPG companies nowadays aren't building roleplaying games for their own sakes but instead are creating IPs they hope can be mined by novels or movies or computer games. I'm pretty sure that that's exactly what drives a lot of WotC decisions and I'd be amazed if it weren't foremost in their minds when they chose Eberron as the second official 3E D&D setting.
Now, I have nothing against such calculations and, let's be honest, if I felt there was a chance in hell someone would want to make a Thousand Suns movie, you can bet your Dillingham Drive that I'd design the setting differently. Fact is, it's unlikely that'll ever happen and I so I've decided to design it, both as a game and as a setting, to be a modular, customizable, and creatively "roomy." I want it, well, to be a roleplaying game setting and not a vehicle for anyone's stories or characters but yours. That's why I'm presenting the material in a format that is "hard" enough to provide more than simple guidelines but "soft" enough to let you use them as you wish. A lot of games claim to be toolboxes and some even make good on that claim. Thousand Suns will be different because not only will its rules be a toolbox but so will its setting (or meta-setting as I've taken to calling it, in my one concession to pomposity). Want the Thousand Suns to be governed by a corrupt federation? You can. Want it to be a benevolent, virtuous federation? You can do that too. An empire? With psionic secret police? And alien janissaries? And …? Can do.
Obviously, I can't, even were I infinitely creative and writing an infinitely long book, offer advice and suggestions on every possible way to interpret the meta-setting or every possible element you might want to include within it. I'll hit the highlights and throw in some quirky options as well. But most importantly what I've tried very hard to do is to create an environment where pretty much any sci-fi idea you have has a place or at least could have a place. Richard has taken to using the tagline "a thousand possibilities" when describing Thousand Suns and, while part of me rankles at it, another part of me thinks that it nicely sums up exactly what I want to do with this game. Traveller, back in the day, was a game where a kid with some dice and an imagination could play out his favorite SF stories without having to worry about someone quoting from some supplement about why x, y, or z couldn't happen or was impossible. I'd like Thousand Suns to be that kind of game too. I certainly don't want it to become a game where fans argue about minute details of its back story or speculate on how signature character A or B will influence events. What I really want is to make a game where, if I meet people who play it, they can tell me about their version of the Thousand Suns and their characters and their adventures.
Call me crazy but that's what roleplaying is all about.

2004-09-29 I get a cold, and fall sets in. Come to think of it, that's probably what triggered it. I just didn't notice the change last week. After this past summer, I think there ought to be some more good weather still on account.
Things very quiet in this little blog community lately. What gives?
Here's a heart-warming story of my own: we recently bought a nice old wardrobe and a few assorted other small things from some people who were moving. A really good deal. Our mover guy shows up to pick up the stuff from the people and bring it over to our place. The lady says to our mover, oh, here are a number of other small things - you might as well take those as well. I.e. at no charge. The mover decides to interpret this instruction as a gift to him, rather than to the people (us) actually buying the furniture, and doesn't tell us anything about it. Isn't that charming?
Then: the key to the wardrobe doesn't work. It's a nice wardrobe to look at, and would be even nicer were it possible to open and put things in it. The owner claims there is no other key (I saw the fucking thing open when I first checked it out) and the locksmith consulted over the phone advises "shaking it around a lot to 'loosen' the lock." Which means "I don't really want to come out just to open up an old wardrobe." So very helpful - thanks, dickhead mover, thanks, previous owner, thanks, locksmith. You all have a real nice day.

Everyone knows how to play Never Have I Ever, if they have spent even one night in college or watched that one episode of Lost when Kate and Sawyer played it. The rules are simple. Someone says, "never have I ever done something" and if you've done it you take a drink. Easy. Let's play.
Never have I ever messed up coffee.
Never have I ever messed up coffee, twice.
Never have I ever messed up Easy Mac.
Never have I ever messed up Easy Mac, three times.
Never have I ever tried to grill a frozen piece of pork.
Never have I ever had to look up on the internet how to cook pasta.
Never have I ever had to look up on the internet how to brown meat.
Never have I ever overcooked a piece of chicken to the point that it was inedible.
Never have I ever burned piece of garlic bread because I was too busy overcooking a piece of chicken.
Never have I ever set off the smoke detector while using the microwave.
Never have I ever put a frozen 3 Musketeers bar into the microwave, wrapper still on, to soften it.
Never have I ever stuck a metal pot in the microwave, causing a small explosion.
Never have I ever asked what the broiler does.
Never have I ever asked how long it takes to melt butter.
Never have I ever had to call my father to the house where I'm babysitting because I couldn't use the can opener and I didn't want the children to starve. (True story, as my father and uncle so helpfully reminded me this past weekend)
If you can drink to all of those, congratulations . . . you are as helpless in the kitchen as I am. Your prize is a lifetime supply of frozen dinners and Chinese take-out menus.
UPDATE: The position of full-time cook is now open. I cannot pay you, but I will do all of the dishes. Eventually.

Three Reasons Why give up, and how to fight them
1. Illusion - and so I remember everything and everything in control, and I do not need to write it all. Or, I have a small parish, where did it more, divide the funds.
More lies to himself invent difficult. This "harmless" illusion is the cause of human failure and poverty. The fact that you have not written - a lie. What you "remember" and are not going to be taken into account in the table - a lie. And if you have a small parish, then, of course, it is necessary to consider even tougher.
Stop deceive ourselves, tabulated, and you get the satisfaction and pleasure from feeling managing your money. Check it out.
2. Rare populating a table leads to entanglement and losses. Even small discrepancies, some lost ruble leads to a feeling of lies and reluctance to manage their money.
If timely, complete table and achieve the corresponding figure from the table with cash, then you really coming holidays.
This is the victory over self, about which so much has been said in all the books on financial success.
3. You borrowed someone or someone you borrowed money.
It's like - you or you. The very fact that borrowing money is destructive and for the one who loaned and to whom.
It is better to give or to earn. Saying "If you want to lose a friend, lend him money" works even with the best of friends. Moreover, the movement towards financial success is terminated as soon as the start borrowing.
A provocation go. Beggars feel that you have the money and include you among our customers. You even could not imagine that these are long familiar to you, almost the best friends of the family, their children - professional beggars.
And how difficult it is to refuse him, it's his. But this parasite, whoever he did not seem to you. Is one who is able to destroy your small borrowing. He lives constantly borrowing money and pereodalzhivaya. Ideas to make money, he just does not. Why, if there fuckers (he thinks so) that it will lend.
In fact, he was in a deep hole, and get out of it, he could only way to start making money himself, and manage, for example, with the help of our program.
This dreadful borrowing and small, including - making chaos in money management.
If you have the guts, you will quickly realize that the one who began to lend you money - hidden enemy. Unfortunately, often only time and large financial losses prove it.
And what to do if caught?
Most importantly, do so, what would it be seen in the table, what would it also was manageable. Create a fund for long if you borrowed, and delivered from it.
Create the impression that you have to borrow money is dangerous. And not to give up on time, even deadly.
And to be sure look around at those who have money.
Would you dare they lend? ..
And in the case of great need, to be able to borrow and not return on time? ..

While the mobile telephone subscriber providing market in Sri Lanka has been very competitive, the profit margins have been narrow due to the active presence of several competitors in the Sri Lankan market.
Under such a situation, all mobile telephone service providers being greatly inconvenienced through the interim budget proposal for the 25 per cent tax on pre-paid cards to be borne by the service provider instead of the customer, is unavoidable.
This budget proposal says that the 25 per cent tax charged from the customers on reloads and paid to the government has to be borne by the particular service provider company and b not charged from the customer or subscriber.
Diaglog Axiata which has been dealt a blow from this proposal, on the other hand receives another blow through the 'Super Gains Tax'.
Any company which has gained a profit of over Rs. 02 billion during the last financial year is liable to this 'Super Gains Tax'. This tax system states that companies which have gained a nett profit of over Rs. 02 billion during the 2013-14 financial year has to pay 25 per cent of the profits as tax.
Hence, the developing opinion is that it is unreasonable to impose taxes on past profits but should be done aimed at the future.
Meanwhile, despite the likelihood of Dialog being able to manage the proposal to impose a one-off tax of Rs. 01 billion on satellite television channels, it is still on the fence.
If this blow too hits Dialog, then the number of assaults on the company through the interim budget would increase.
This budget proposal states, the commercial entities in Sri Lanka who have been providing direct services through satellite to over 50,000 home subscribers have failed to pay anything to the government all through these years. In the past Dialog Television has paid millions of rupees as taxes to the government. Hence, this particular tax may be aimed at television service providers who engage in telecasting activities through Indian satellite technology. While there are over 400,000 Sri Lankan subscribers to these channels broadcasting from India, these channels do not pay anything to the government.
However, since this budget proposal limits the number of subscribers as 50,000 LBN channel does not fall under this category, due to the interpretation 'satellite television channels' PEO TV too does not fall under this tax proposal.
Since this budget proposal states 'expects to gain a Rs. 02 billion', it is doubtful whether for some reason or the other Dialog Television would be included into this proposal though it has paid taxes to the government.
Accordingly, Dialog Axiata which is has brought foreign direct investment of some USD 1.7 billion and has been a prominent foreign investor in Sri Lanka has been gravely perturbed by this interim budget.
While Dialog Axiata is a subsidiary of the Axiata Group Berhad of Malaysia, www.adaderanabiz.lk learns that the parent company has drawn its attention towards this issue.
The Sri Lankan shareholders with Dialog Axiata are nearly 25,000.
There are some 9.3 million mobile telephone subscribers with Dialog Axiata there are over 400,000 viewers of Dialog Television.
There are accusations against Dialog TV that it had censored several telecasts during the last presidential election in Sri Lanka.

Well - who would have thought the day would come when Honda's 'Old Faithful' would disappear off the market?
After a long service life in New Zealand of over 10 years, Honda Power Equipment's best loved EU20i generator is now out of production.
This product would surely be one of our biggest selling and most reliable generators, happily providing 1000's of hours of use for anyone from a farmer to camper to contractor.
As generator technology improves - things can only get better. Ask anyone from the 'old days' and they'll tell you that a 2kW generator 30 years ago weighed tonnes (not literally, but you get my drift). So the skilled engineers at Honda's design centre in Japan have come up with ways to make Honda's portable generator pack a greater punch, with better features.
Honda is shortly launching a new model, the Honda EU22i, which will be available to New Zealand consumers early 2018. This will have more power than the EU20i without compromising on weight or performance, and will be at an even better price.
And, it's still not made in China.
What about my old EU20i?
Like any of Honda's line up, your EU20i will still be serviceable for probably decades to come. Honda doesn't have a great name for no reason - after all you can still get parts for products that are 30 years old. So there's no reason to worry, keep your trusty EU20i running just like normal.
OMC are privileged to have great stock of the old EU20i model, which is now available at a clearance price - just click here to check it out and to order.
For those of you out there who are scared of new stuff - now's your chance to get your name on one of the power equipment industry's most favourite products!
For the geeks out there who insist on having the latest model gadget, now's your chance to get in first with the EU22 - contact us today!

OSI Layers 1 – 7 ~ virtualized
Citrix owns the virtual stack, OSI Layers 1 through 7 that is. There isn't any other solution that can claim the fact that they can install Virtual Machines on bare metal, run a Virtual Layer 2 Switch, a Virtual Layer 3/4 router, and applications all the way up to Layer 7.
If you haven't virtualized your infrastructure, it's time to do so, because Virtualization is radically changing datacenter and branch architectures. It is not just servers that are getting virtualized. Applications, hardware resources and everything in between can now be in its own virtual container. This is huge in providing you the capability to reduce costs, and increase your computing flexibility.
The vNetworkStack solution virtualizes switches, routers, load balancers, network firewalls, application firewalls, SSL VPN, IPSec VPN, intrusion prevention, content switching, compression, caching – all of the application delivery controller features – along with your virtualized application servers and virtualized desktops.

The fiscal cliff is a roughly 600 billion dollar reduction in the predicted deficit of 2013 compared to the deficit of 2012. How this got named a fiscal cliff I have no idea. The 2001, 2003 and 2010 extension of the Bush tax cuts expire in 2012 and are responsible for 44% of the overall cliff.
I knew nothing about the fiscal cliff before reading this fantastic CRS report. And I found out that the name is very deceptive. What's the cliff? It's just a deficit reduction. In other circumstances, we would be happy about it.

You know, the thing about anyone's "story behind the glory" is that it does something to us as readers, when we realize that what we're seeing, has a story behind it. It's no Friday night Cinema bore either...more like a Saturday morning testimony to the masses. It resounds, "HERE I STAND, MAKING A NAME FOR EVERY AND ANYONE AFTER ME... I'm destined to succeed by the grace of God". Well, that's what this story tells me. It tells me that if we press toward the mark, and go relentlessly after our dreams, (which may sometimes be deferred), we are NOT winning, in fact, we are at a LOSS!
Alan Roland, owner and Brand visionary behind Houston Galleria's Kuttin' Edge Barbershop, is definitely no newcomer to WINNING, as most would have it. He's more like a vessel of success, to which we can learn alot. Prior to Roland opening his brand name barbershop, he worked in Texas' capital for Texas Instruments; to which he voluntarily fulfilled a 10 year stint. Here's the moment I tend to admire the most---------> After his period in the corporate sector, he realized it wasn't for him. As a father, he knew he needed to make the ultimate decision to go for his dreams, as he strongly sensed it would prevail.
And boy, were his senses right! Roland moved to Houston, and started working for his cousin's barbershop located on the north-side of Houston, where he stayed for a couple of years, before having enough capital (start-up revenue) to open his own barbershop, which he did; Kuttin' Edge Barbershop, October '97.
I'll add that the title of this celebrity status Barber Shop is hardly by chance. When Roland first envisioned opening his own shop, he flirted with the idea of opening it inside a mall or shopping center, and many people told him it would never work, or that it would never catch on. 14 years later, he's located inside Houston's prestigious Galleria Mall, and his shop is known to hosts and hosts of the heaviest taste makers, and celebrities alike. From Ikem Kamakaze of Houston's "Indmix" empire to Scottie Pippen, Beyonce Knowles, Juvenile and many more, he often protests that everyone and anyone who comes into the shop are all celebrities in his eyes.
When walking into the Kuttin' Edge Barbershop, you walk into an experience. Roland went from having 3 operators when he opened, to now having over 36. Ironically, the large amount of chair operator's does nothing more than enhance the atmosphere. The shop is set up with tons of nooks, where barber chairs are located, and there's conversation developing at every step you take. Good music plays constantly, and the Caribbean themed decor is more than timely and understood. Mastering the art of having a thriving barbershop in a Galleria Mall, and doing it with an air of consciousness, class, and possibility, it's really no wonder they were named "Kuttin' Edge"...and YES, we too agree, this barbershop has an edge (pardon the pun).
