I recently read 'Blood River' by Tim Butcher. Very good book which I recommend to everyone. From a South African point of view his insights hit the nail on the head. The one thing we Saffers fear the most is that our beautiful land will be forced down the same path as [most] of the other countries in Africa. A dismal prospect. Someone said the other day that we are on page 4 of 'the book Mugabe

Ah all you takers, grabbing everything you can, as fast as you can. Indeed one day you will be able to say,"I got it all." But I doubt that you will still 'have it all' by then. What you forget is this: What goes around, comes around, and you cannot get away from it. It will happen to you as you have caused it to happen to others. Make no mistake, you might still have the fat bank account, the

This is an illustration, or a parable, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information and I report it only as hearsay. A certain international financial aid organisation approved a grant to the government of a particular country, said grant to assist in an infrastructure upgrade designed to improve conditions in many areas. In this case the funds [some millions of US $] were earmarked for an

Morning, February Found this very instructional - every Christian should follow these guidelines [extracted from Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening devotionals]. “And David enquired of the Lord.” - 2 Samuel 5:23 When David made this enquiry he had just fought the Philistines, and gained a signal victory. The Philistines came up in great hosts, but, by the help of God, David had easily put

Read this even if you're busy, make time and read it!!!!!!!!!! Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said,'' We can't keep Christians from going to church. We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their saviour. Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power

Archinect : Features : ShowCase: LILYPAD Have a look at this offering from Belgium - probably the most innovative, all-encompassing solution anyone has come up with in a long while. By this I mean it would benefit a great many people for many years to come should it be seriously considered. One wonders how the powers-that-be will see this.

If you ever want to get a real picture of Catholic charity read the book 'Angela's Ashes' by Frank McCourt. Scary. I think I'd rather have anything but this type of Catholic Charity.Having been brought up in a Baptist / Salvation Army home I have never come to grips with the Catholic view of things, but this book opened up my eyes to a number of serious issues, the first of which is guilt. It's

The time is now 2:25 in the afternoon and I can download my emails for the first time today.I came into the office at 8:30 as usual and made a cup of coffee while my email replicated - or so I thought. The mail server in the UK was down, so I resolved to wait until the office there opened so I could replicate. When they came on line at around 9:30 here I sent a message requesting they take a look

Sooner or later anyone working in sales comes across the concept of 'Third Party Commissions' or TPC, otherwise known as the kick-back or, if you don't want to mince words, the bribe. Business people don't ever refer to it as a bribe though - the term is too concise, too revealing, and none of them want their good name connected to anything remotely questionable. How quaint, when one knows in

Hey, this is not a question open to interpretation. In it's original [and only valid] meaning the phrase ' committing a sin' means ' doing something God hates'. Read Genesis...and the new testament for an expanded explanation.

This is another dig at the music industry - a sitting duck if ever there was one.I heard a comment on SA Idols recently - something about the most popular music is determined by the buying public. Now this is [if you think about it for half a minute] a totally misleading statement. [In fact it's a load of crud!].Why do I say this?The radio stations will tell you that they play what the public

Having being involved in the South African music industry for over 20 years it is my sound conviction [excuse the pun] that it is run by a bunch of money-grubbing suits who's only interest are their own back pockets.Why do I say this?As an example: There is a man who goes by the name of Mr. Eric Gallo - yes, he of Gallo Records fame. He was extremely wealthy - I mean with REALLY deep pockets. He

A college professor once said,''There are no absolutes.''. While this shows remarkable self-confidence and personal conviction I fear that he has missed the mark by a significant margin.You see, the problem is that most things you come across in this world are relative. Even truth is relative, depending on your viewpoint, and for some this is important, otherwise how could they justify their

The problem with the modern work environment is that it is usually populated by practising politicians, and more often than not ruled by pocket dictators. When it comes to attention-seeking the general rule of thumb is 'whoever shouts the loudest gets the most'. And in the work environment attention is critical to advancement.Think about this for a minute: If it wasn't for Adam's decision to

If your Lotus Notes mail file has become corrupted one solution is to create a new one on the mail-server. This is typically done by your sys-admin and may take some time [and arm-twisting].
