The Kiowa County Mavericks lost Friday's league game against the Minneola Wildcats 52-49.
The Kiowa County Mavericks lost Friday's league game against the Minneola Wildcats 52-49.
Caleb Davis and Damien Odle had double digit scoring performances, while Minneola's Gary Stewart, Jason Brill and Brandy Schumate made up the lion's share of the Wildcat offense.
Davis continued his aerial assault from behind the 3-point line, sinking 6-of-10 shooting .640 from the field with three rebounds and four steals.
Davis is shooting .470 from the field, .390 from the 3-point line and .810 from the free-throw line so far this season, leading on total points (127), points per game (16) and steals (33).
Odle had a bit of a bounce back game with his first double-digit game since a 16-point performance against So. Central in a 46-20 win on Dec. 11.
Odle had 14 points with nine rebounds and a pair of steals.
The "blonde bomber" has had a slow start this season shooting .420 from the field with 93-season points and 55 rebounds in the first eight games.
Odle has to make up some ground if he wants to reach his 2011-2012 totals. Last season he finished with a .550 field-goal percentage, 222 season points and 166 rebounds in twenty games.
The Mavericks won the first half 33-25, in large part to holes in the Wildcats defense and a strong two quarters from Davis, Odle and Rustin Ardery.
Minneola figured out the Mavs in the third quarter outscoring Kiowa County 15-6.
Minneola lead by a single point entering the final frame and slid by the Mavs, winning the final quarter 12-10.
The extremely physical game, punctuated by some static between the Wildcats Matt McClaren and a couple of Kiowa County Mavericks, boiled over in the tight fourth.
Mavericks Head Coach Nick Perez took issue with the foul totals and made his displeasure known to each referee that passed his bench.
The final box score reflects what might be an inequity as Minneola had 22 trips to the free-throw line, while Kiowa County had only five.
The Kiowa County Mavericks (5-3) will face the Central Plains Oilers (4-4) on Tues. Jan. 8 and will return to Kiowa County on Friday to face the Kinsley Coyotes (2-6) in their homecoming match.

This one has been simmering for a while. Credit Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com for getting Jeffrey Lurie to yank the lid off the pot.
Frank asked Eagles chairman Lurie about the perception that his childhood buddy, former Eagles president Joe Banner, has been the source of a lot of the negative press Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is getting. Roseman, once Banner's protege, usurped Banner last year, with Joe landing in Cleveland, where he has the organizational control he sought.
Lurie didn't outright accuse Banner of being the main "league source" arrayed against Roseman, but he definitely issued a warning.
"I'm very supportive of Howie, and if there's any criticism coming from afar about Howie, it's just off-base, and so I will support Howie completely, because that's not right," Lurie told Frank.
"And you know, if there are league sources that are really based in Cleveland, that's not right. We see through it all."
The final straw might have been a venomous Jan. 14 piece appearing on CBSSports.com, from reporter Jason LaCanfora, in which the Eagles' coaching search was described as "meandering and bizarre," and Roseman was said to be "drunk with power" and "woefully out of his depth."
Before that, in another media forum, there was the midseason "league-sourced" revelation that the Eagles had extended Roseman's contract back when Banner left -- leaked at a time when the Birds' personnel flaws were bringing scrutiny on Roseman -- and a "league sourced" report that somehow Roseman was responsible for the disastrous hiring of now-fired defensive line coach Jim Washburn. We don't know whether Banner had a role in either of those stories, but the Eagles' brass certainly believed he did.
Banner's response Friday, released through Browns spokesman Neal Gulkis, was as follows:
"It's always difficult to comment on a quote that may or may not be accurate or in context," Banner said. "In this case, from the comments Jeffrey made that were communicated to me, it is necessary for me to make this clear, unambiguous statement. Any implication that I had anything to do with Jason LaCanfora's story is completely false, outrageous and borders on being libelous.
"I had absolutely no conversation with Jason LaCanfora. Having demonstrated my character over the last 44 years to Jeffrey and the last 14 to Howie, it is beyond disappointing that they would suggest such a thing. As tempting as it is to go further, other than defending myself, I will continue to take the high road on all such matters as I have done since the day I left the Eagles."
Later Friday, Banner was asked about the situation at a news conference announcing Mike Lombardi as the Browns' new personnel guy. Banner declined comment.
While Lurie went a little overboard Thursday -- almost to "gold standard" level -- in describing how much the Eagles and Roseman are respected by what he called "iconic figures" in the league, he was right about criticism of the Eagles' search. Their journey to a new coach was neither longer nor less focused than anyone else's. Five of the eight NFL openings didn't get filled until this week, and the Birds ended up with the guy everybody in the league insisted was their top candidate going into the process. Every interview they undertook made sense.
There are some people in the media, even right here in Philadelphia, who might owe Roseman an apology.
Which is not to say the GM has proven he is great at his job, or is one of the best young minds in the league, or worthy of any of the superlatives Lurie likes to bestow. But it's a fact that the media biz today seems to be more and more about "look at me and my report!" rather than sifting through agendas, trying to figure out what's true and passing that on to readers/viewers.
On a more pleasant note, maybe you heard Chip Kelly talk Thursday about the time Nick Foles, playing for Arizona, completed a pass lefthanded while Kelly's Oregon Ducks were trying to sack him. Here's the video.

Landscaper hailed as a hero after reviving near-drowned Windham toddlerBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
July 17. 2013 4:07PM
WINDHAM — Landscaper Matt Pulomena never imagined his firefighter training would come in handy in the course of his current career path.
But Pulomena's day took an unexpected turn late Wednesday morning when he was laying patio stones with his landscaping crew in a Windham backyard and heard a frantic cry for help coming from next door.
"That's when I looked up and saw a woman yelling," the Nashua man said. "I saw her son's lifeless body draped over her shoulder."
Instinct and adrenaline kicked in as Pulomena scrambled over a chainlink fence and into the backyard of the frantic young mother, her unresponsive 3-year-old son clutched in her arms as she emerged from the aboveground swimming pool.
"He was completely blue, he wasn't breathing and he had no pulse," Pulomena recalled. "So I started doing CPR."
Foreman Bill Dufault and fellow crew members from Design Works Landscaping in Hudson were all hard at work when they heard a large splash coming from next door.
"At first we just thought it was some kids playing around," he said. "Then everything happened so fast."
"We all kind of froze up for a moment, then next thing you know, there goes Matt up over that fence," Dufault added.
After several minutes and several CPR sessions passed, Pulomena said the color began returning to the toddler's face and he began coughing up water.
Local emergency crews, who'd received a 911 call just moments earlier, arrived at the 6 Sharon Road home shortly after 11 a.m., Windham Fire Chief Tom McPherson said. According to local assessment records, Ronald and Kathryn St. Laurent own the property at 6 Sharon Road.
"The operators heard someone screaming on the other end of the line," McPherson added, noting that is unclear how the toddler fell into the water.
Windham fire crews continued with advanced treatment on the little boy, who was breathing on his own by the time they arrived.
McPherson said the victim was breathing but unresponsive when he was transported to Parkland Medical Center in Derry. He was later transferred to Elliot Hospital in Manchester for further care and treatment.
No one answered the door at the Sharon Road home yesterday afternoon.
Resident Patricia Mack, who lives on the corner of Rock Pond and Sharon roads, said she didn't know the victim or his family but described the neighborhood as "extremely family oriented," noting that it's not uncommon to hear the laughter of children or the sounds of happy splashing wafting through the screens on a hot summer evening.
Pulomena, who trained onsite with the Belmont Fire Department for two years prior to working as a landscaper, said he was simply glad he was able to be in the right place at the right time.
"It was pretty awesome," he added.
Though he doesn't have any children of his own, Pulomena said his girlfriend has a young son, and he'd hope someone would do the same thing for them in an emergency.
"I can't imagine what those poor parents are feeling right now," he said.
Though he's only worked with the company for three months, Dufault said Pulomena certainly managed to distinguish himself by coming through in times of crisis.
"As far as I know, Matt is the only one on board who's had this type of training," Dufault said. "But after what we saw today, it definitely makes you think. Because no one else here knew what to do."

Yay or Nay: Will you Gilet it this Winter?
Winter is often a season of necessity versus beauty. Unless one has enough in his wallet to buy a piece like this Alexander McQueen (a cool £1,095,) fashionistos are left to settle for cheap and not always stylish alternatives. The gilet (or body-warmer) is a fickle fashion item and this season it has been made-up in enticing chambray by label Wings + Horns.
Gilets often look awful; after all, the Michelin Man-look has never suited anyone. However, when worn over-sized and unzipped with skinny jeans and leather brogues, your padded-tube of fabric becomes the key component of a high-fashion look.
I would say 'Yay' to the idea of a gilet- simply follow Brandish's style advice and you'll be looking awesome anyway!
Acting like a big kid: yellow raincoats
Its raining its pouring, and if you'd forgotten about the need to cover up you may be considering a new rainwear purchase.

Topman have a lightweight zip-up version availalable, perfect for staying visible in a wet festival. For something longer lasting that will see you through to autumn's downfalls there's this beauty from ASOS or the most authentic of the lot (courtesy of Valet) is this shiny, yellow raincoat by L.L Bean. Avoid brightly coloured wellingtons to fend off the worst Paddington Bear comments.

Love the Look: the army field jacket over suiting
It's been a little while for me since The Sartorialist featured a must-have-item, but the artful combination of this olive green army field jacket worn over a suit had me searching for a similar jacket. An iconic item in the US, they're available from the high-end (Ralph Lauren Black Label) to army surplus stores. Somehow, the olive green colour and the fact that it's a purposeful, military item overrides the jacket's essential scruffiness allowing it to combine well with smarter, more conventional items.
Monty Don: unlikely fashion reference
Clearly Monty's a hottie – before you scoff at the idea consider how you might like to look at nearly 60. Still got a full head of hair? Twinkly eyes? And his signature garment – that utilitarian, gardening blazer in navy blue is having a moment.
Pale and interesting: the Nudie denim jacket
I've been searching for the 'perfect' denim jacket for a while now, and this one by Nudie at ASOS comes pretty close. Pale, and 'vintage looking' It's also short on the waist (essential), fitted, and (crucially) has no side pockets, this ensures that it won't go baggy over time at the sides, as you won't be tempted to shove your hands in your pockets.

Man gunned down on Manchester street was talented graffiti artistBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 20. 2013 9:26PM
MANCHESTER — The shooting death of a graffiti artist Saturday night on Prospect Street may have been a case of someone bringing a gun to what was expected to be a fist fight.
Mark Donnelly, 31, who was originally from Nashua but lived and worked in Manchester for the past couple of years, was the victim of the shooting, according to friends as well as his fiancee, Vanessa Hall of Manchester, the mother of his 2-year-old daughter, Madyson.
On Tuesday morning, the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office issued a news release identifying Donnelly as the murder victim. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner performed an autopsy Monday and determined he died from a single gunshot wound to the chest.
Donnelly, also father of 7-year-old Haleigh, was a talented graffiti artist and a man with a warm heart and kind soul, according to those who knew him.
Hall, his girlfriend of four years, said Donnelly was heading back to a party at a Penacook Street apartment of a friend who was graduating from college Sunday. Two other friends were with him when, Hall said, they were approached by a woman who asked them for money.
Brian Dauphinee, in postings Monday on the UnionLeader.com website in which he identified Donnelly as his best friend with whom he worked at Dunkin' Donuts on Hanover Street, said Donnelly and one of the other two individuals with him were rude to the woman and gave her a hard time.
The woman said she would return with her boyfriend. Donnelly, who Hall said was about 6 foot 2 and weighed 215 to 220 pounds, told her to go ahead and get her boyfriend, that he would fight him, according to Dauphinee.
Then, as the group walked a few blocks farther down and were on Prospect Street, near Pine Street, a sedan pulled up alongside them. Scared, one of the friends ran off, Hall said. Rob Bernier stayed with Donnelly.
A man inside the car showed them a gun, Hall said.
"He saw the gun and Mark said, 'I don't want to fight you. I'm not a bitch,'" she said Donnelly told the gunman. "I'll fight you one on one."
The man opened fire. Witnesses reported hearing about a half-dozen shots that sounded like a semi-automatic weapon.
Lisa Katon, who lives on the third floor of 67 Prospect St., said she was watching television about 11 p.m. when she heard what she thought were fireworks. Then she heard yelling outside and looked out her window to see a man collapsed on the sidewalk in front of 61 Prospect St.
The injured man was on a cellphone at the time, she said, and was saying he had been shot. Whoever was on the phone with him, she said, must have asked where he was because she heard him say he was on Prospect Street.
Katon said another man with him was performing CPR and yelling, "Somebody call 911 for my buddy."
Hall said Bernier was trying to stop the flow of blood. "He was trying to keep him with him and was talking to him so he wouldn't be scared," she said.
Katon immediately called 911, but the dispatcher told her they already had received numerous calls.
"It was like a bad dream. It was crazy," Katon said.
An ambulance arrived soon after and took the injured man to Elliot Hospital, which was placed on lockdown until 1:15 a.m. Sunday.
Dauphinee, in postings to unionleader.com, said he was supposed to be with Donnelly Saturday night, but worked instead.
"I told him not to get into any trouble before I left ... You know Mark, always gettin' into fights when he drinks ... even with a gun in his face he still didn't back down. It's just so hard to believe someone so benevolent was taken so soon. It still doesn't feel real. I just seen him."
Stacey Lynn Hall Ruse of Raymond, Vanessa Hall's mother, said, "He had a great heart, a good soul," she said. "He was a good guy. There's another child that will grow up without a father."
Donnelly was a talented graffiti artist whom people hired to paint entire rooms in their homes, according to Hall.
Adam Brown, 26, of Nashua said Donnelly was sought after by parents who wanted their children's names done in graffiti on canvas.
"He was a master at graffiti lettering," said Brown, who owns the graffiti store Streetwise in Nashua. Donnelly also was known for his artistry with anything having to do with the Boston professional sports teams.
Brown was shocked by his death.
"Mark, he doesn't do anything bad," Brown said. "He doesn't do drugs. It wasn't drug-related. He definitely was the victim."
No one has been arrested, but the investigation is continuing.
Anyone with any information about the murder is asked to call detectives at 668-8711 or Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040.
New Hampshire Union Leader reporter Paul Feely contributed to this report.

To the sunbathing tourists and the half-million people who live here, the cruise ships are mere specs on the ocean.
Until four years ago, the mammoth boats docked in Mazatlan's busy port where tourists would pour into the city to cram the downtown Mazatlan market or visit the Golden Zone restaurants where they'd eat shrimp and sip fish-bowl-sized margaritas with a view of the Pacific. They'd buy jewelry, T-shirts and other trinkets before returning to the port where fresh tourists had arrived.
But those days are over. The cruise ships can only be seen inching across the horizon on their way to stopovers in South America, Mexico and the United States where tourists aren't nervous about getting caught in the crossfire of Mexico's escalating drug wars.
Mazatlan's tourism industry has taken its lumps. The swine flu epidemic halted most Mexico-bound planes from Canada in 2009 before violent feuds between drug cartels and Mexican police erupted across the country, particularly along its border with the U.S. Mazatlan itself has suffered more than most because of violent incidents that made headlines in Canadian news-papers.
Because of a struggling economy in the United States, news of the beating of a Calgary tourist at an upscale resort this winter and an uncommonly mild winter in Canada, the tourist season in Mazatlan is the worst it's experienced in a generation.
But despite the grim out-look, there are thousands of worry-free Canadians and Americans who dot the postcard-worthy beaches and dine on fresh seafood and order Mexican beer served in icy metal buckets.
Tourists here argue that Mazatlan shares similar rates of crime that have made parts of any North American city unsafe. Fearing the worst is just silly, they say.
"The problem is that the only people who are scared are people who've never been here," says Denise Connor of Calgary from her beach chair at Hotel Playa Mazatlan, where she's spending two weeks with husband Keith.
"People see headlines in the paper and that's all they see. There are parts of Calgary I'd never visit after midnight either. I'd get killed just as easy."
Fellow vacationer Myles Simcoe of Richmond, B.C. has been coming to Mazatlan "on and off for 20 years" and has yet to feel unsafe or witness any criminal activity.
"My wife and I walk to the restaurants at night. And we're always treated very well. Not just by the people who work in the hotel or bars, but by the regular Mexicans," said Simcoe. "In Vancouver, I'm not out buying or selling drugs or going to places I've been told not to go either."
Much of the scuttle-butt on the beach this season surrounds the attack on the Calgary woman at Hotel Riu Emerald Bay. Sheila Nabb is recovering in Calgary from her injuries suffered in a beating while at the resort.
Few people in Mazatlan understand this city's struggles better than Lance Vient, manager of the Playa Mazatlan Hotel.
Vient is the Mazatlan-born grandson of California contractor Ulysses Solomon who built the hotel in 1952 and helped make Mazatlan one of the top Mexican tourist destinations.
Over the years, the Playa expanded from a 40-room hotel to the sprawling, 400-room resort that takes up about a quarter-mile of beach front, the longest of any hotel in the city. In previous decades, the Playa Mazatlan regularly hosted winter visits from Hollywood elite including John Wayne, Tony Curtis and Rock Hudson.
Since then, it's welcomed millions who come for the sun, the area's history and popular tourist activities like parasailing, horseback riding and four-wheeling.
Before this year, there were 15,000 Canadian tourists in Mazatlan between November and March, Mexican tourist figures show.
Vient left for the United States as a young man but returned to turn the hotel around.
"What we can do to stop the hotel from tanking is tell people about the reality of Mazatlan," said Vient, 32, who moved his wife and three young daughters from Arizona to accept an offer from his family to run the hotel in 2010.
Vient hopes his American-style marketing experience and familiarity with social media will help encourage Canadians and Americans to return to Mazatlan, where occupancy rates have dipped as low as 20 percent. Rooms that went for as much as $200 a night are now offered at $75 - discount hotels a few minutes from the beach have rooms for as low as $25 a night.
He knows it's a tough sell. Down the street from the Playa Mazatlan, near-empty seafood restaurants offer deep discounts, large jewelry shops are boarded up and tourists have plenty of elbow room as they stroll along the sidewalks.
Vient acknowledges that drug crime in Mazatlan and Mexico has increased in recent years, but he argues the Mazatlan crime rate is still low compared to other resort communities. He also argues that visitors face risks no different than they do at home.
"I'd be lying if I said there weren't things going on.
That would be unfair," said Vient, whose hotel features security guards who keep an eye on the hotel beachfront 24 hours a day.
"If you start focusing only on the negative things about a place, then you'd never go to Disneyland. You'd never go to Los Angeles, which is something like the third biggest crime-ridden city in the U.S. and people go there all the time."
Vient is helping the city and the state of Sinaloa with marketing campaigns to help improve its image, and he's also working with local schools to help improve education and teach Mexican culture in hopes of steering them clear of a life of crime.
"We want to teach our children values and to have pride in their Mexican culture . . . if we don't educate our kids, we lose our next generations."
Vient said his decision to move to Mazatlan with his family is the ultimate proof of his confidence in Mazatlan.
"The quality of my life has improved dramatically. I can walk on the beach. I can walk my dog. I can play golf for $10 and I can eat out at restaurants and eat steak and lobster for $40. This is a beautiful place," he said.
"They call Mexico the pearl of the Pacific. We're still the pearl but we're just a little bit tarnished."

Happy New Year : What 2013 may bring...
"The problem with Singapore is that suddenly, we became a one-trick pony......Our one trick was bring in more cheap foreign labour; we will increase GDP every year. And that is true, but it's not the only trick in the book — (yet) it became so convenient for us that we used it all the time." - AWARE executive director Corinna Lim.[Link]
This year ended with Singapore nearly entering recession. Our growth has stagnated because of our high dependence on cheap foreign labour for growth . The govt introduced mild curbs to foreign imported labor but our economy needs high level of foreign imported labor to to keep our economy growing because we are "out of new tricks". The busineess community in the form of Singapore International Chamber of Commerce (SICC) and Singapore European Chamber of Commerce (SECC), claimed that Singapore will "lose its competive edge" unless the floodgates are again re-opened. The business lobby wants more of the old solution and to play the same one easy trick. No where else in the developed world do businesses enjoy such a liberal foreign worker policy yet the business lobby demands the floodgates stay open[Link]. The interests of the business lobby are not just narrow, they are short term in nature. In 2012, Singapore's economy was showing signs of overheating with inflation hitting 5.7% in Nov 2012[Link], business rentals, housing prices and COE breaking new records. If the Singapore had done what the business lobby wanted easing the curbs on foreign labor, we would have even higher inflation and the type of GDP growth that brings little benefit, if not negative effects, for ordinary Singaporeans.
In 2010, minimum wage [Link] was proposed as solutions for our income inequality and low wage worker problem. This was quickly rejected by the govt, govt-controlled union and the business lobby. Their claim was such schemes would lead to unemployment and it is undesirable to interfere with the free market. A pro-business govt with controlled unions and a business community just cannot get some of these bold but workable ideas through to solve a problem that will polarize our society and threaten us in the longer term. In 2011, the Hong Kong govt decided to adopt minimum wage legislation - the pro-business lobby there screamed that thousands of businesses would shut down, unemployment would rise, inflation would spin out of control and Hong Kong would become uncompetitive. The Hong Kong govt fortunately had enough resolve to overcome the resistance from the business lobby and boldly implemented the measure. The legislation pushed the wages of lowest paid workers by a whopping 28%. One year after implementation none of the deleterious effects has been seen - unemployment remained the same, inflation rate is lower than Singapore's and the Hong Kong economy kept growing. Economists generally conclude that the implementation is a success[Link]and the Hong Kong govt intends to increase minimum wage by another 7% in May next year[Hong Kong increases min wage] benefiting 320,000 workers.
There has been little progress in tackling the income gap which in now near dangerous levels[Link]. This year our GINI index (after govt transfers) did not improve from 2011 [Link]. Despite all the govt publicity surrounding GST vouchers, Workfare, U-Save etc, these transfers knock off only 0.02 from our GINI index which remains 0.452 after transfers (0.473 before transfers). Some countries reduce their GINI by 0.1 to 0.2 through govt transfers[Link]. Although the income gap did not get worse, maintaining it at these levels has harmful long term effects including increased poverty and allowing the growth of an permanent underclass to take hold. The govt limit what it does today to face the consequences of its inaction further down - the problem will become harder and more expensive to solve.
The issue is not whether we can solve any of these problems quickly - they have become entrenched and difficult - but Singaporeans need to know we can get on the right path. But 2012 is another year the PAP govt demonstrated that it cannot change fast enough to overcome the problems we face. The ideological shackles, the old formulas and the hard truths of one man, keeps the govt on a narrow path afraid to walk an alternate track on which solutions might lie. We are in a system that cause our people to be the unhappiest in the world[Singaporeans the unhappiest people in the world] yet the PAP govt is still trying to make do small tweaks and still constantly preach to us that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the system they have constructed. ..but the reality is we have the most unhappy people in the world who have been dis-empowered by a ruling elite whose interests over time have diverged from that of the common folks...how can it be that no major change is needed to address this?
The PAP today still uses propaganda, filters information and uses a considerable amount of spin to keep Singaporeans in a bubble of ignorance and acceptance of their system. But with alternate sources of information, more Singaporeans realize the flaws and unsustainability of the current system. 2013 like 2012 will see more Singaporeans turning against the system that is generating negative outcomes in the quality of life for an increasing number of people. Nothing improved in key areas that affected our quality of life in 2012 - housing became less affordable, COE for cars are at record levels, public transport saw no improvement, cost of healthcare kept rising and inflation is in excess of 5%. There is rising indebtedness in our society with consumer loans increasing 34% from $151.5 to $201.4 billion from 2010 to October 2012 since I last wrote about it [Link], and loan sharking has become epidemic in recent years with more than 65,000 cases in the last 4 years. Singaporeans have the highest debt to income ratio in the world[Personal Debt Bomb].
After 2012, it is hard to be optimistic that the PAP govt will eventually be able to acquire a brave vision to lead us out of our problems and improve the quality of life of Singaporeans. The close link between the PAP and the network of businesses that form our GLCs has resulted in interests that diverged from those of ordinary Singaporeans. Policies have been unbalanced for many years will continue to remain unbalanced until Singaporeans acquire real power to effect changes in the system.
56 comments:
Singapore is also the highest arms importers per capita in the world.
Oscar Arias Sanchez President of Costa Rica (awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 for his efforts to end civil wars across Central America through the Esquipulas II Accords) has stated:
" When a country decides to invest in arms, rather than in education, housing, the environment, and health services for its people, it is depriving a whole generation of its right to prosperity and happiness.

It would take a lot to convince the 60.1%,those who have not benefited from their liaison woth the PAP, to go for change. They have been brain-washed so effectively by the Govt and its machineries.
They swallow hook,line and sinker whatever the Govt thru' its controlled local media dishes out.
- 2/1/13 16:55
I'm a civil servant.
Lucky, you are right that the PAP is out of ideas and beholden to the business lobby (to the detriment of the whole country).
The PAP does not even entertain the idea of culling sacred cows or taking bold action to address the country's woes. Its leaders just muddle along, or in George Yeo's words, "go with the flow".
I really hope the government that comes after the PAP has time to put right what has gone terribly wrong.
- 2/1/13 16:58
Under LHL's leadership, the country is like shit yet he still want to work for ten more year.
Does he aware of the problems.
- 2/1/13 17:42
I think using Hong Kong's experience of minimum wage is hazardous, as the track record is too short to know if it is going to work. If it was a foregone conclusion that minimum wage is the silver bullet, then every country should be rushing to implement it isn't it? Instead, we see example after example of why it doesn't work: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/12/22/union-supporters-protest-illinois-minimum-wage/; http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/protesting-workers-demand-minimum-wages/article4227729.ece; http://www.socialistworld.net/print/4387
I also find your postulation that Singaporeans do not have an independent mind odd and a tad offensive. If you can be an independent mind, why are you assuming others can't? Are you better than the rest of us?
- 2/1/13 18:22
Mr/Ms Yue Fei, Lucky is smarter than most of us. Why are you reading his blog if you are smarter than him? Duh.
- 2/1/13 18:38
- Lucky Tan said...
Yue Fei,
I did not say we should jump in to adopt minimum wage legislation the Hong Kong example was brought up to show the boldness and resolve required to make such a decision and walk an alternative path. Given the problems we face with low wages for such a large segment of population, there should be more sense of urgency and boldness applied to the problem.
My view on minimum wage:
I can't find the section that insinuated that Singaporeans cannot think independently. In fact I see the ability of so many Singaporeans being able to overcome the way the PAP controls and filter information to think for themselves encouraging. It is the PAP that insults us by removing newspapers that were critical of them, they seem to think that only the PAP knows what is good for Singapore.
- 2/1/13 18:42
That we have so many opposition parties in a tiny island is already not right.
So it is impossible to put things right and make things better when the opposition is not right.
Only when the opposition become right, then 60% will also become right. And PAP will change to become right. In fact, everything will become right.
- 2/1/13 19:48
The 60%-40% ratio is not permanent, of course. Percentages do change from time to time. It might be of interest to readers that over the last 10 years or so, the ratios were:
2001: 75%-25%
2006: 67%-33%
2011: 60%-40%
2016: ?
- 2/1/13 19:53
Smart people in Singapore are making lots of money, sometimes with only a $2 company.
So smart people will not join opposition because it is easier and better to make money.
Without smart people, opposition will not become good, united and strong.
So majority voters will not vote for opposition.
So this becomes a vicious cycle where opposition cannot win.
- 2/1/13 20:00
Lucky, there are a few fallacies that we need to address to convince the 60% to make the switch:
1) We depend heavily on foreign investment as we do not have natural resources.
2) An unstable political environment will drive away these investments causing our economy to collapsed.
3) Opposition is not ready to form the government and having a coalition government will lead to political impasse.
Please try to address these deeply entrenched mindset of the 60% as whether they would vote against PAP depends on how well we can dismantle those myths.
- 2/1/13 20:23
It is hard to make money when you join opposition.
But if you join PAP, you will have 93% chance to have monthly $15,000 allowance, as compared to only 7% chance if you join opposition.
So the choice is obvious.
- 2/1/13 20:24
No wonder lah, when given a chance, everybody want to fight for the monthly allowance, even to the extent of "killing" each other.
- 2/1/13 20:29
/// "The problem with Singapore is that suddenly, we became a one-trick pony. ///
Here's another one trick pony.
Only PAP is good enough.
Here's another one trick pony.
Only Limpeh has the ability to forecast.
Many other one trick ponies in Singapore.
And they are all white in colour.
- 2/1/13 20:36
People are already testing tsunami bomb and some still think PAP is unfallable? After so many people are being made into serfs one way or another, owning no hard assets whatsoever, pap is a destroyer of wealth of hardworking people. Their hoarding and whoring exercise have already started to frustrate many people. I will not be surprised that they will lose the election next round.

Lucky, your summary of 2012 & the one-track mindset of the PAP "coverment" so far, is the sad Hard Truth that somehow, will offend those still enjoying the good life .
Well, there are more of the well off and of the Establishment coming around, day by day. They have a conscience. A sense of righteousness and a love for the country of their birth or adoption.
Sadly, the very people who claim to have Singapore and Singaporeans welfare at heart, seem at least to me, bent on destroying whatever progress made since independence believing that ensuring "growth in the GDP" will solve all problems.

Chen Show Mao? You sure or not?
How come he did not even hold any appointment in his own party CEC, despite his "star" status? See below:
Chairman: Ms Sylvia Lim Swee Lian
Vice-Chairman: Mr Mohammed Rahizan bin Yaacob
Secretary-General: Mr Low Thia Khiang
Organising Secretary: Ms Ng Swee Bee

Webmaster: Mr Koh Choong Yong
Deputy Webmaster: Ms Lee Li Lian (new appointment; former Youth Wing president)
President, WP Youth Wing: Mr Muhamad Faisal bin Abdul Manap (new appointment; former organising secretary)
- 2/1/13 22:48
Ya hor, if Chen Show Mao is so smart, how come he got no appointment in WP CEC?
So assuming WP can win 93% seats, can Chen Show Mao become PM?
- 2/1/13 22:55
Lee Hsien Loong become PM because he is the secretary general of PAP and PAP won 93% seats in last GE.

Not say I like PAP but seriously, I will be very worried if WP can win 93% seats in next GE.
I sure will want to emigrate, even to Timbuktu.

Recently, the executive condominiums were sold for $2.05 million. There were young couples who bought these properties at this high price.
The question is that how could young couple who started working not long ago have the money to pay for the high price properties?
Of course, the young couples do not have the money.
This does not matter to the young couples as they have the backing from their rich parents who are owners and directors of SME businesses.
Isn't puzzling that these business owners and directors of SME businesses are so rich, yet they claim that they have difficulties to make profit from operating businesses in Singapore?
Here is the hard truth and it goes like this.........
For many years, PAP adopt pro-business policies. To ensure that businesses keep generating high profits year in year out, PAP appeal to businesses to keep business cost low by allowing businesses to have unlimited number of cheap foreigners to come to Singapore to work for businesses.
To the PAP, businesses are the number one priority and everything has to give way to businesses in Singapore. This is no surprise as PAP also run Singapore like a big business.
When businesses grow, businesses would recruit more and more foreigners to fill up the newly created positions in the businesses. Business owners and directors know that employing
foreigners would be cheaper and cheap foreigners are easily available due to PAP lax immigration policies to allow huge number of foreigners to come to Singapore to work.
The business owners and directors also can exploit these cheap foreigners to further save on the labour cost. Exploitation include receiving money kickbacks from foreigners, forcing the foreigners to pay for all the compulsory fees like pre-employment medical check up, return air tickets on ceasing employment, etc.
Although PAP are kind and generous to the businesses, business owners and directors are the ungrateful lots. As business owners and directors are selfish, they advocate to have access to unlimited cheap foreigners as long as time allowed. These business owners and directors use all kinds of tactics and methods, including lying and scaring tactics, to justify the need to continue keeping the floodgate open to cheap foreigners.
Being greedy, business owners and directors want to have more profit for their businesses. They use the cheaper foreigners to replace the Singapore citizens so as to save up on more payroll cost.
When Singapore Citizens lose their jobs, their personal and financial lives nosedive.
When Singapore Citizens approach PAP for assistance, PAP ask Singapore Citizens why they are lazy and do not want to work. Hey, it is the PAP who have contributed to the Singapore Citizens to lose the jobs by allowing businesses to have easy access to cheap foreigners, yet PAP dare to criticize and look down on unemployed Singapore Citizens.
After many years of keeping low payroll costs by hiring large number of cheap foreigners and exploiting many more workers, profit for businesses rise continually and significantly. With more accumulated profits, business owners and directors buy more properties and luxury cars for themselves.
Flooded with so much money from many years of accumulated profits, business owners and directors can easily take out multiple $2.05 million dollars to support their children to own the high priced
In essence, PAP have divided Singapore into 2 worlds:
the world of business owners and directors and their offspring who own condominiums and luxury cars like collecting marbles
the world of common Singapore Citizens, who can never understand what is condominium and luxury car, whose main purpose in life is to struggle to live decent lives in Singapore.
- 2/1/13 23:08
/// the world of common Singapore Citizens, who can never understand what is condominium and luxury car, whose main purpose in life is to struggle to live decent lives in Singapore. ///
Very true.
But the dumbass Sinkies still want to continue to vote for PAP.
They need to learn to ask the key question:
"How will you benefit me if I vote for you?"
"Do I need to start a $2 company to enjoy the benefits?"
- 2/1/13 23:23

I love Govt! It's provided cheap labour to work as cleaner, maids, contractor etc .. for Singaporean. What the issues here? Look around you, Most Mid-class Singaporean owned 2 houses. Govt provided you with 2 millions Foreigners to work Cheaply and allow you Highest Rental Income from addition home. Singaporean just needs to exploit the Foreigners and Earn Passive Rental Income from them. That is why so many people in their 40+ are unemployed!

Yue Fei,
You sound exactly like a PAP loyalist. Instead of spreading misinformation, ("then every country should be rushing to implement it isn't it?"), I suggest that the readers visit the following Wiki pages on minimum wage -
As you can see, MOST countries have minimum wage laws today.
I hope more readers have REAL independent mind than your PAP mindset.
- 3/1/13 01:35
Good thing about being forced to grow the population is it results in more obnoxious people and more money problem people to deal with lol
No money die. Got money also die. So be happy and psycho lah lol. Turn to religion psycho psycho stupid people till their tears drop like waterfall and still stand worshipping their great white shark leaders, religious or otherwise, like the North Koreans lol

I think Teo Ho Pin will still remain as MP until 2016 and if he still contest, will be re-elected as MP again.
PAP will still win GE 2016 with at least 90% seats.
WP at best will only retain Aljunied GRC and Hougang (if the wards still exist).
Chee Soon Juan will lose again and other opposition parties will still remain kosong in Parliament.
What do you think?

hi all,
I know of a philippino P6 student (in 2012), was successfully exempted from Mother Tongue, because Singapore education system only offers Mother Tongue in 3 languages - Chinese, Malay and Tamil)in PSLE.
Her PSLE score, with 3 subjects only, was 253. and eventually went on to a prestige secondary school.
care to share your thoughts?

There are so many flats and apartments waiting for rental (cos so many have 2 properties), i think the bubble will burst this year. The gov will have to continue to import aliens to replace jobs of singaporeans to support the property market. This is a vicious cycle and in the end all singaporeans including the gov is the big time losers. Pursuing GDP at expense of housing, medical, retirement, education etc can only be a short term measure.

anon 1440 - cos of this unfair education system, kids from primary schools already start to dislike foreigners. by having this bad system, gov is the cause of this hate problem.

Big time losers, bubble burst, import aliens, train breakdowns, bad system, hate problem, $2 company, whatever lah, but PAP can still win elections what.
The opposition still can't win what. Or can they?

Lucky, you are right that the PAP is out of ideas and beholden to the business lobby (to the detriment of the whole country)."
To be exact, they are beholden to big business. There was a time when being pro - business was also pro - people because businesses created jobs for Singaporeans. Not anymore.
The MIW are riding a tiger they cannot dismount. Grim scenario.

All developed & even 3rd World countries have many world class brand under belt to generate presence & innovation, what have we ? All our dudes , children of GLC has only service (SIA) & property developer to flash, produce nothing the world needed other than satisfied the few, and mind you there are plenty of choice.
This government is leading us to nowhere.

To the bloke who says Lucky is smarter than us all because we are all reading his blog - I rest my case. Lucky: please throw him a bone. LOL
Lucky: This is the segment: The PAP today still uses propaganda, filters information and uses a considerable amount of spin to keep Singaporeans in a bubble of ignorance and acceptance of their system.
Amused: I think you confused implementation with success. Just because a country implemented minimum wage does not mean that the system is successful. Did you check the Gini coefficient of those countries you quoted?

If not for the lousy govt, we would not be in this state now. My neighbours children got scolded by the CC ppl for bringing her kids there to run around & play. I get upset when I heard this. My neighbour isn't well off & cannot afford to bring her childrens out all the time. The facilities should be meant for everyone as long as you pay conservancy charges.
- 15/1/13 08:10
We have the most lousy govt in the world. Some 3rd world country citizens may actually be doing better than us. It is a huge pity that a lot of ppl still believes in PAP & their wayang. Alot has been said & many of us also no more saliva already. I pray that the opposition will win in Punggol. BTW, I read news this morning that a 45yrs old pastor is not accused of sexually abused a 15year old girl. Why don't the papers reveal the church & who is the pastor???? At first, you thought only the Vatican City has this sort of cases becos Catholics do not allowed Priests to marry. Now this happen!!!!
- 15/1/13 08:28
I would also be very worried if I were Singaporean about the number of Gurka Mercenaries employed by the government. For what reason are forigners employed in security positions , are not the Singapore police and military capable , or will only foreigners obey without question the government ?
Add to this that SIngapore is the 5 biggest importer of arms ( not even in to top 20 for exporters) , why do they need to import this quantity , for one of the smallest countries in the world , after all its only a city .

Also, Kruppe hired as Farmington High head coach and Wells finally gets the best of buddy Robertson.
The replacement for David Brown as Missouri S&T football head coach should be named soon.
The interview process for the position has been completed and, according to S&T Sports Information Director John Kean, it is hoped a decision on the new coach will be made in a week to 10 days.
The start of the spring football practice sessions for the Miners could be determined on when the new head coach is hired. The expected start of spring football drills is after the S&T spring break, around April 1.
Last month Brown resigned after three seasons as S&T head coach to accept an assistant coaching position at Fresno State.
Kruppe Hired
Rolla High School football assistant coach Erik Kruppe has recently been hired as the new football head coach at Farmington High School.
In addition to being a Rolla High assistant the past three seasons Kruppe has extensive experience as a collegiate assistant coach, having served assistant stints at Missouri S&T, Arkansas Tech and Truman State, among other schools.
Kruppe replaces Todd Vaughn as the head coach of the Farmington Knights, who finished 3-7 in 2012.
Vaughn, who led the Knights to the most single-season wins in school history in 2011 (12-2), resigned to accept the Belton High School football head coaching job in suburban Kansas City.
Former high school rivals and college buddies seemed to be joined at the hip on a run to the Missouri Show-Me Showdown in recent weeks.
St. James High School girls' head coach Terry Wells and Fatima High boys' head coach Ryan Robertson went at each other when the two were all-state guards from 1994-46 – Wells at Belle High School and Robertson at Fatima High School.
Robertson won all of those battles, as Fatima topped Belle in regular and post-season games. Interestingly enough, Belle's head coach then was Phil West while Fatima's was Todd Uffmann. West is now Wells' boss as St. James' Athletic Director. Uffmann lives in St. James as well and his daughter, Alexis, is now Terry's point guard for the Lady Tigers.
Later on Wells and Robertson became teammates and roommates while members of the Central Methodist men's basketball squad and have remained close friends.
Starting on Feb. 18 and running through last week the St. James girls and Fatima boys weaved their way through the state playoffs, both winning the Class 3 District 9 Tournament championship in Cuba, then winning in the sectional round at Rolla, then triumphing in the quarterfinals at Springfield before moving on to the Missouri Class 3 State Tournament Final Four in Columbia. All the way Wells and Robertson could be found rooting for each other from the stands.
Wells' Lady Tigers ended up finishing third in the girls' state tournament while Robertson's Comets were fourth in the boys' state tourney.
Finally, Wells got the better of his buddy.

They didn't have color, lines of action, construction, everyone tended to move the same, not much characterization...etc.
This was true for most of the studios in the early 30s, but one studio more than made up for all these early limitations-The Fleischers'.
The cartoons they made from 1929 to 1933 were so creative and so resisitant to formula and rules that they stand to this day as some of the most creative and fun cartoons ever made.
By contrast the Disney cartoons of the same period are extremely generic, bland and boring.
Disney himself was such a conservative guy in his tastes that while he kept advancing technical skill, he resisted imagination and creativity.
I honestly don't know how he survived to the mid 30s with the cartoons he was making in the early 30s.
His characters are all pretty much circles and hoses and made up of mathematical proportions.
Look. somehow the Fleischers can make circles look funny!
Disney was always a square.
The Fleischers, interestingly were in New York in the early days, along with Van Beuren and Terrytoons. All these studios early on followed their own whims and weren't swept along by the Disney influence that dominated the Hollywood cartoon studios. Not till later and that was their downfall.
To Disney, "more" meant "better". He was going to make his cartoons have more characters, more details in the backgrounds, more colors, more more more.
Anybody have a frame grab of a hugely elaborate scene from an early Disney cartoon I can use as an illustration?
Disney was kind of an average guy except for his ambition. Most regular folk will look at a highly detailed drawing full of cross-hatching or lots of tiny smooth brush strokes and be impressed. "Wow, that painting looks like a photo! Now that's talent!" That's how Disney thought. Disney himself was a cartoonist but not a very good one.
He was also a guy who loved rules and formulas. He wanted everything to be controlled and symmetrical. He needed reasons for everything. Where rules didn't exist, he and his artists invented them. There's a whole book documenting this called "The Illusion Of Life" written by 2 of his animators, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. It actually brags about how the studio took the cartooniness out of cartoons.
Rare instance of a funny drawing in a Disney Cartoon
Walt must have been on vacation when this scene was animated!
Ub Iwerks-who was Disney's top animator in the early days started his own studio and managed to make some fun stuff.
Harman and Ising founded Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies and introduced Bosko and the first talking cartoon. Interestingly, the first few Boskos were very creative, bawdy, funny and had a variety of drawing styles in them, but soon they became standardized and one was drawn about the same as the last.
Disney started the idea that each animator should draw the characters the same way and it became harder to tell one animator from the next. I think this was a huge setback for cartoons, because many animators have strong individual styles and if encouraged to showcase them can add a lot of fun and entertainment to the cartoons. Many later Disney animators were cast according to the way they move things but were still made to keep the characters as "on-model" or generic as they could.
Luckily Tex Avery and Bob Clampett soon took over the creative direction of the Looney Tunes studio. They saved it from being just another bland Disney clone. Most of the other studios tried to become fake Disneys- while dying in the process.
Number 1: all the animators timed their work to music. At first they did it very mechanically-right to the beat, but as they got better their timing became more sophisticated and by the 40s, even non-musical cartoons have an invisible meter going all the time and this automatically makes the cartoons feel good.
The rubber hose style and the moving to the beats was the greatest way for animators to learn. Drawing simple shapes allowed the animators to learn the fundamental principles of movement without being bogged down with all the time it takes to draw useless details. Doing this to music gave them a great sense of timing. Doing it without a lot of control from non-cartoonists allowed the process of inventing animated cartoons to happen naturally through trial and error. It caused the techniques and the art of animation to grow at the fastest rate of any artform in history.
From 1928 to 1940 the medium went from stick figures to the greatest cartoons ever made. Through the 40s the momentum slowed down a bit but continued in a forward direction. The 50s started a decline.
In the 60s cartoons crashed, non-cartoonists stole the medium from us and we have never again been able to get back on a forward moving path for any prolonged period of time.
The advances in technical aspects of animation through the late 30s brought with it an unfortunate by-product. Many of the animators-especially Disney- wanted to leave behind the best attributes of the early cartoons.
There was one cartoon director of the 40s that really preserved the good points of the rubber hose cartoons while taking advantage of all the advances in cartoon techniques. Bob Clampett.
He continued making his cartoons to music and did it better than anyone from the late 30s till today. He kept the silly, surreal impossible cartooniness of the earliest cartoons and added the squash and stretch, line of action and pear shapes that developed at Disney and on top of all that, he added strong and specific personality to the characters.
Warner Bros. pioneered the idea of cartoons having the director's individual personality stamped onto them. Clampett took it a step further by giving each of the characters a living breathing presence. He added the personality and supreme performances.
More on the 40s later.
Thanks to Max and Clarke and especially Marc for helping me out!

Are you on Get a peak into my life with 5 kids aged 7 and under and follow me there!
If you aren't sure how to be super kind and compassionate and still kinda strict… this post will help you be the empathetic mother you want to be without being too soft on your own rules.
It can seem like we mothers are left with two options.two options.
You can either be the mother who expects her kids to tow the line and doesn't allow backtalk or disrespect OR you can be the type of mother who supports her child through their feelings and develops a close emotional bond.tow the line
The reality is… you can be both.you can be both.
And I'll take it a bit further and say this…
Moms who are faithful to enforce their family boundaries actually have more energy, compassion, and empathy to show their children.
Let's look at some of the biggest reasons moms struggle to be , empathetic and understanding with our kids. The reasons why we often end up angry and triggered , even when we wish we weren't.
The reason you can both hold your family rules and be an understanding empathetic mother is because those are two separate things at any given time. Let me explain with an example.
Our normal family rule is this: after play time you can't come out of the room until it's cleaned up .
This has always been the rule, it's never changed, The reason behind this rule is that I'm the mom and I've got 5 kids and I'm not going to pick up after them for the next 15 to 20 years.
One of my kids, on this particular day, did NOT want to clean up. He'd made a huge mess but was now ready to go outside and play. He started flailing, and saying his stomach hurt, and giving every reason under the sun why he shouldn't have to clean his room.
This did not trigger me.
Because I knew he would eventually clean it and that I WOULD NOT HAVE TO, I did not feel bitter or resentful towards him. Instead, I looked around his room, and knew exactly why he was pitching a fit!
I said.
he answered.
I replied. "
" was his answer.
"Oh, lovey," I responded, "
I walked out. He flailed a few more minutes and whined a bit, then cleaned up super fast and was done .
This took all of a few minutes, and I had both (a) empathized with him and shown genuine understanding and (b) given him space to carry out my rule.

to , move, and interact. Sometimes, programmers may use animations as tutorials to show others how to do something. Sometimes animations use little to no programming and consist of a sequence of images played in consecutive order quickly. Scratch provides the project creator with the freedom to make an animation in any desired manner.
Lip syncing involves moving a mouth at the right timing of the sound. Many animations have this feature. Realistic and perfect lip sync is very complicated to reproduce as mouth shapes need to be recorded. A trick that a lot of animators use is making a sprite with different costumes, all different mouth shapes, and then using the wait () secs block in between costume changes. A list can also be used, containing the amount of time to wait before switching to the next costume to reduce block clutter.
Outside of Scratch, lip syncing generally refers to when a musical artist's microphone is turned off yet they sing the song to their own prerecorded vocals. Likewise, if the singer's mouth replicates the vocals simultaneously being played out of the speakers, it is considered to be well-done lip syncing.
Scratch has the capabilities to animate the mouth based on the volume input of a project viewer's microphone. The
Womens Core Strap Flat Sling Back Sandals GStar BWXIQyX
takes a constant measurement of 0-100 representing the volume of the sound input. If the loudness value is higher, a costume with a more opened mouth can be switched to. A custom block to animate a mouth based on the volume input is as follows:
A walk cycle is an animation of some character walking. Sometimes the background

When it gets to the end, it switches back to the first costume. Because of this, the last costume needs to lead into the first costume to make the walk cycle continuous.
Owners may manage their businesses themselves, or employ managers to do so for them. Whether they are owners or employees, managers administer three primary components of the business' value: financial resources, capital (tangible resources), and human resources. These resources are administered in at least six functional areas: legal contracting, manufacturing or service production, marketing, accounting, financing, and human resources. [ citation needed ]

on a company-type management system. [26] Many state institutions and enterprises in China and Russia have transformed into joint-stock companies, with part of their shares being listed on public stock markets.
Business process management (BPM) is a holistic management approach focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the wants and needs of clients. BPM attempts to improve processes continuously. It can, therefore, be described as a "process optimization process". It is argued that BPM enables organizations to be more efficient, effective and capable of change than a functionally focused, traditional hierarchical management approach. [ ]
Most legal
specify the forms of ownership that a business can take, creating a body of
Womens S7435 Boots Sebastian Professional 0oRbdnc
for each type.
The major factors affecting how a business is organized are usually:
Many businesses are operated through a separate entity such as a corporation or a partnership (either formed with or without limited liability). Most legal jurisdictions allow people to organize such an entity by filing certain charter documents with the relevant Secretary of State or equivalent and complying with certain other ongoing obligations. The relationships and legal rights of
, limited partners, or members are governed partly by the charter documents and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the entity is organized. Generally speaking, shareholders in a corporation, limited partners in a limited partnership, and members in a limited liability company are shielded from
Jonatina 100 Pvctrimmed Patentleather Sandals Purple Christian Louboutin y98gTuR3B
for the debts and obligations of the entity, which is legally treated as a separate "person". This means that unless there is misconduct, the owner's own possessions are strongly protected in law if the business does not succeed.
Where two or more individuals own a business together but have failed to organize a more specialized form of vehicle, they will be treated as a general partnership. The terms of a partnership are partly governed by a partnership agreement if one is created, and partly by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located. No paperwork or filing is necessary to create a partnership, and without an agreement, the relationships and legal rights of the partners will be entirely governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the partnership is located. A single person who owns and runs a business is commonly known as a sole proprietor , whether that person owns it directly or through a formally organized entity. Depending on the business needs, an adviser can decide what kind is proprietorship will be most suitable.

Yes, I do think that things around us do seep into our artistic consciousness. Often without our awareness.
Sometimes when I am drawing or painting, I will have a moment of realization ... ah, I know where I saw that color, or that little animal, or swirly line.
Thank you for the view of your studio. xo
It's true that Bear does not make a big impression on my stuff...
A cat would definitely do the trick and leave the paw tracks.
Smart thinking as usual Nikon :)
Oh yes, this looks like my office! Of course, I don't have macaroons on my desk or those lovely sketches. It doesn't seem to infringe on your beautiful art, so I wouldn't change a thing!!ReplyDelete
I love your studio, it where a woman creates. Creativity does not come for organization. Never has. xx'sReplyDelete
Hi Carol!!! Thanks for sharing your work place, I enjoyed watching every little detail on the pictures, I loved the macaron bracelet, where do you get it???ReplyDelete
