Investment Analysis for Commercial Investment Real Estate
Similar to other courses, CI 104 is case-study driven. Within each case study, you will encounter a key investor decision: Should a non-taxable investor acquire an investment with or without debt financing? What if the investor is taxable? During the holding period of an investment, should an investor make a discretionary capital expenditure or not? How does an investor evaluate disposition alternatives? Gain knowledge, tools, and resources needed to make these decisions.
Begin to develop the practice of integrating the CCIM Communications/Negotiations Model into all real estate decisions with a focus on using this Model in presentations.
With today's challenging real estate market, we will also take a comprehensive look into approaching risk analysis by exploring the types of risk associated with real estate investment, and the ways to mitigate and manage those risks.

A/N: Chapter two for ya! Thanks to my five wonderful reviewers, I love you with all my heart. And to Nika, hey Poland, thanks for the sweet review ;) I aim to please. Tried to convey Minato's confusion without having him say too much. Hope it went okay :D Note to self: name next chapter There-ness.
T h e D e a d G h o s t
"Get back here, ya damn brat!"
Naruto turned back a final time only to stick out his tongue before bolting.
Left, right, down that one dead end with the hole in the brick wall big enough to squeeze through. As he finally came to a stop a minute later it was no surprise to him the hollering merchants were gone. He knew the alleyways of East Konoha even better than the man who'd built them.
Finally looking down to his closed fingers he opened them, and couldn't help a small smile. A little battered or not, the apple was the brightest of red, dulled only by the occasional yellow spot or bruise. He loved the days the merchants would come down to the village center and sell their wares, it happened at least once or twice a week. With all the confusion, it was easier to swipe something without being noticed, and easier to get away.
It had been nearly a month now since Naruto had run away from the orphanage, and it was days like these, as Naruto bit into the apple so sweet it stung his tongue, as the sun filtered between the roofs to hit him with that cozy natural warmth, that he knew without a doubt it was better this way. He always knew it was better this way of course, the institution had been a terrible, hateful place, but some days it was easier to believe this than others. Like that one time a bunch of drunk guys, shinobi by the metal across their foreheads, had stumbled on his sleeping-place at the time. That had been a week ago, and the bruises still showed eggplant purple on his arm, and that one cut beneath his eye was looking like it might scar. Needless to say, he'd started avoiding that side of the village.
Naruto forced himself to eat the fruit slowly even as his stomach twisted inside him, and ten minutes later he finished the final bite, threw the core somewhere into the shadows down the street, and licked the sticky from his fingers.
Standing, the seven-year-old was about to start towards his abandoned-house-of-choice when he felt something. It wasn't like wind, or like the actual touch of skin on his own, but like a ghost, like something tingling just beneath the surface in warning. Naruto whipped around, hands raising defensively in front of him.
Before him was… only the empty street. Same dumpster, same stained newspaper sticking to the concrete like paper-mache.
"Who's there?" Naruto asked quickly. One wouldn't think such a thing would work but it usually did, he could ask and he'd get at least some sort of warning, a laugh or angry accusation, before the beating came. It felt a little odd, that he should know this. But thirty or so days and at least five times he'd been caught off guard. And really, what much more could he do even if he was on guard?
No answer came.
The feeling came closer suddenly, and Naruto backed away a step. He tried again, "Who's there?"
The voice was a man's voice, deep and upright and unforgiving. It sounded as though it might be apologetic, soft somehow, but that only made Naruto back away further. Someone from the orphanage? It would be the first time, they'd always seemed grateful to be rid of him, but who else would know his name? All the men who stumbled upon him never called him by name. 'Demon!' They'd spit, scream, cry, it depended what kind of drunk they were. But of course, they were always scariest when they weren't drunk, when they came at him with that calm-faced rage as if they'd thought it all out, as if beating the breath out of a random street kid made perfect sense to them.
Naruto was tempted just to run, but his eyes burned and his legs ached at the thought. He hadn't slept in at least a day or so, he may be able to outrun overweight farmers but never a trained shinobi.
"Naruto?" The man repeated, and starting with his sandaled foot he appeared from the shadows.
He stood a good five-something feet, his back straight in that powerful way, and Naruto had to look up to see him, even as he stood a couple steps back. He wore what all shinobi wore, the blue uniform and the green vest and the silver plate under his yellow hair, and over it an eccentric, cape-like jacket, falling well past his knees.
"How do you know my name?" Naruto asked, finally finding his voice.
The man paused for a moment, as if debating something in his head, before finally opening his mouth. "Why are you here?"
Naruto looked back down the street again, away from the man. No one wanted to talk to him, they either wanted him to pay up, or just plain pay. Back in the orphanage all the kids had ignored him, even as they spent every day and night together. Why would a stranger want to talk to him?
"Why shouldn't I be?"
The man waited, and Naruto thought he might he preparing to leave, but then he spoke again. "Where's your mother?"
It was then that Naruto laughed, even though it only felt a little bit funny. "Mother? I don't have one."
"You don't have one?"
"Are you deaf?"
The blonde shinobi gave Naruto a clear, laser-beam blue-eyed stare, and he squirmed.
"Who do you live with?"
"Nobody." Naruto answered before he could stop himself. But as the word spilled off his tongue his eyes widened in horror. If the man knew he was a runaway he'd take him back to the orphanage. That was bad. They never did anything there, it was boring, lonely, scary.
The shinobi seemed to notice his urge to escape, and put up his hands delicately in surrender. "I don't want hurt you." His voice was tinted with something, something like shattered glass, and it was probably that that kept Naruto from leaving then and there. "Do you… do you have any idea who I am?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes and stared. Should he? Was he important? Then he remembered, and nearly choked. "You're the guy on the mountain! The Hogako!"
"Hokage." He corrected, crouching down and holding out his hand. Slowly, his heart beating in his chest so loudly he was sure the shinobi could hear it, he reached out to take it.
But he couldn't.
"What?" Naruto paled as his fingers seemed to stick right into the man's skin. If he tried really hard he could see the outlines of his thumb and forefinger through the flesh. But not flesh. Flesh you could touch. He would have moved, run whether or not the man would catch him, but fear paralyzed his legs and stuck his feet to the ground. "What are you?"
"I'm dead, Naruto." The Hokage said after a long, frustrated pause. "I haven't been the Hokage for… years."
"You're a ghost?" Naruto asked.
He made a face, a sort of small grimace, before his mouth went back to its neutral almost-smile. "I suppose I am."
"What do you want with me?" Dread was creeping its way into Naruto's stomach, up his throat with a bitter taste. Dead Hokage? What was going on? Was he dreaming?
In the instant after the words came out, the man's face fell again, and this time it took him longer to piece a serene face back together. "I want to help you."
"Why?" This Naruto had heard before, 'I'm here to help you!', 'Just follow me-', SLAM. But then, what harm could this ghost do to him anyways if he couldn't even touch him?
"Can't someone just want to help?" He asked, implored.
"No." Naruto answered, he couldn't stop himself and he wasn't sure he wanted to. Because no one 'just wanted to help'. No one had ever… it had to be a trick. A scam. A master plan.
"Naruto," It must have only been the third or fourth but it felt like the thousandth time the man had said his name, and it made him uncomfortable. With that word his voice turned warm and thick and maybe a bit bitter, like old memories he wasn't sure he wanted to forget. "Naruto, I know what they did to you was wrong, but you have to trust me."
"Just trust me."
The dark man smiled a bright-toothed, quirky smile, and Naruto didn't doubt for an instant this stranger would never hurt him-
"No." Naruto repeated, finally forcing himself to back away. The man seemed dumbfounded for a moment, his hand still frozen in the air where Naruto had left it, but then, as Naruto tried to move back further, he grabbed.
"Get off me-"
Naruto pulled violently back, but couldn't move as the fingers caught his grimy shirt shoulder.
Sweat suddenly beat on the man's face, Naruto wondered why he hadn't noticed it before.
"You can… touch me?" Naruto brought up a finger and tapped at the hand. It's skin was a little liquidy, like molten chocolate, but it was most definitely solid definitely there.
"I don't know what I-" His face steadily drained of color, and the sound of his breathing began to grow louder and more labored.
"Mr- uh, Hokage? Are you alright?" Naruto was about to grasp the man's shaking hand to help steady him when it slipped through his shoulder, and the man fell to his knees. Naruto reach out instinctively to help catch his arms but they slipped right through his skin as they had the first time they'd tried to touch.
He noticed with a slightly cold feeling, although he wasn't sure why, that the feeling of there-ness that had been plaguing him since right before the man's arrival was almost gone now.
"Naruto-" He gasped, giving him a final pained look, before his eyes rolled back and he fell face-first in the dirt.
Naruto dropped to his knees beside the man, tried again a couple times to touch his opaque, somehow non-existent form.
It was an odd feeling, as he sat there and stared down at the messy blonde hair, the tresses he couldn't lift to check if the man was okay. But his chest rose slowly, up and down, and he was still alive… dead… it hurt his head to think about.
Naruto sat against the wall, unable to convince himself to break his vigil, even as the evidence piled against him, and the chill of evening began to bite at his bare skin.
"You better be thankful." He whispered weakly, before closing his eyes, and letting himself fall asleep.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Apostle Herbert L. Brown on anger
- Apostle Herbert L. Brown
One of the most destructive and dissatisfying things that could take place in the life of a Christian is uncontrolled anger.
Let me take a moment to define "ANGER!"
Anger = a strong emotional reaction of displeasure, often leading to plans for revenge or punishment.
When we (Christians) give in to anger, we lose our self-control and become blinded to the ways of God and our spirit becomes so enraged that we shut out the voice of the Holy Spirit. This is not only an embarrassing position to be in as a Christian, but our actions could become very insulting and offensive to others who could otherwise be unbelievers.
Anger always wants to pull or drive us into a place where people are waiting for us to show up out of the character of God.
We should never allow ourselves to be so confident in ourselves and think we have it all together and nothing or no one will cause us to lose our self-control, because having this mindset will make us even more vulnerable to offenses, insults, or activities of people that are dissatisfying to us. Throughout the scriptures, we are reminded that anger is one of the sins of the flesh and we as believers are to put it away! (Eph. 4:31)
Sometimes we try to defend our anger by citing Ephesians 4:26 and when that does not gain the support of others, we bring into the discussion that Jesus got so angry that He entered into the temple and overturned tables of the money changers. Yes, Jesus did carry out this act but He did not sin against God. (Matthew 21:12-14; Psalms 103:8)
Anger does not allow God's redemptive work to be carried out, but it often hinders what God is wanting to accomplish. When the Bible speaks of not letting the sun go down on our anger, it is warning us to not allow anger to linger or rest with us. Unchecked anger is a sure sign of unrepentance and unforgiveness!
Our heavenly Father knows that we will be provoked to anger, but He also knows that we have a comforter in the person of the Holy Spirit and with His help we can overcome the gripping forces that wants to pull us out of righteousness into sin.
So if you have a form of anger existing within you then ask God to remove it because it could turn into bitterness and when it becomes that aggressive it could cause your mouth to spew out words that will have you to be regretful and shameful.
God Bless!

Patients, Doctors Could Benefit From Greater Use Of Internet
July 26, 2000
Experts report that the medical profession has lagged other sectors in the application of information technologies. Paper records still rule among physicians, and insurers, hospitals, pharmacies and clinical labs often manage patient records without the help of the Internet.
- That may be one reason, experts say, why administrative costs account for 15 percent to 20 percent of total health-care spending.
- Increased reliance on the Internet could strengthen the three foundations of greater efficiency in the health-care industry: information, competition and economies of scale.
- Already, according to some estimates, half of all consumers who access the Internet are in search of health-related information.
- With the Internet capable of fostering cheaper and faster insurance reimbursements, industry experts predict that within a few years at least 30 percent of medical claims will be processed online.
By taking better advantage of the Internet, health-care professionals could not only improve the quality of patient treatment, but contain mounting medical costs as well, experts say.

Johannesburg - A Free State game farm owner has appeared in the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court alongside two men accused of exporting rhino horns from South Africa, The Star reported on Wednesday.Marnus Steyl was granted R100 000 bail on Tuesday ahead of the trial in June, according to the report.Thai nationals Punpitak Chunchom and Chumlong Lemthongthai were ordered to remain in custody in separate prisons.Steyl's farm was allegedly used by a syndicate to hunt rhinos, with Thai prostitutes and strippers posing as bogus rhino hunters.Chunchom was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport on Friday after the Hawks suspected he may have to return to engage in illicit activities.A South African court found him guilty last year of smuggling animal products like lion bones into the country. He was fined R10 000.Both he and Lemthongthai face charges of contravening the Customs and Excise Act, and fraud, according to the report.It was believed 26 rhinos may have been shot by the syndicate using legal hunting permits.Steyl's attorney Alwyn Griebenow told the newspaper he planned to get a copy of the police docket and fill in an application to check the exact charges against his client.
Crime indeed knows no colour
He is not a Rhino poacher, and I will put money on it right now that the charges against him will either be withdrawn, or will be trumped up. I do not know the man, but I have read the article and can gather from the extremely poorly written and researched article that the man legally traded in the business
Clearly you didn't watch Derek Watts exposing him on Carte Blanche a few months back. He's a proffessional hunter and he gets a cut from the iilicit gains made by the Thai nationals.
Indeed, crime seems to not be bound by colour. At this stage I have to state that I am so ashamed, disappointed and angry of people who have been given an opportunity to do some good in our country - game farmers, vets and sadly so many of them seem to be white that are more intent on fulfilling their need for greed.
May the Groenewalds, Steyls and any other despicable people in our own country be found and given the harshest sentences imaginable. By that I mean jail time - no options of fines, because clearly money is no object to them!
As for the Asians - they must not be allowed to leave our country under any circumstances as we will never get them back here to take their medicine!
I am not ashamed to say I love animals more than people, and would be quite happy to see all of the perpetrators of these heinous deeds in a jail cell with a few Black rhino for company.
@Roboman - there is no legal way of exporting rhino horn. Your hero willingly allowed these hunts to go ahead, knowing that the girls posing with the "trophy" were not hunters. What your icon has been doing is legally buying rhino (for about R300k a pop) and then allowing mock hunts with the intent of harvesting the horn for smuggling (around R75k per kg). Since you "read the article" you will see it never mentioned poaching but rather illegal export.
@Gungets. You are wrong. The ONLY way to legally export a rhino horn is to hunt the animal and export the horn as part of the hunting trophy (the stuffed head of the animal). I agree fully with Roboman. This article is poorly written. If the accused had legal permits to hunt the rhino, which it appears he did, he will be found not guilty.
@Diep - read up a little. He and the Thai's were bringing in Thai prostitutes to sign the hunting permits and provide their fingerprints. The permits were NOT legal - and that is the whole point. Steyl KNEW this, that is why he is in court. The prostitutes were brought in by Xaysavang Trading Export-Import company just for the purpose of the permits. This was not a professional trophy hunt, it was a cull simply for the horn. Just read up - the information is all there, including copies of the permits. You complain about the article, but are not prepared to do the slightest amount of research yourself before defending the man. He is consorting with KNOWN CRIMINALS, with convictions for animal smuggling. I do not know a decent PH who would do that.
@Gungets. My comment was aimed at the article, which states that Steyl had legal permits. If he had legal permits, he is not a poacher. The definition of poaching is killing an animal without a legal permit. The real issue here is the fact that it is impossible to get rhino horn out of South Africa without first killing the animal. If the law allowed Steyl to cut off the horn (without killing the animal) and selling it to the Thai people, then ALL the rhino on Steyl's farm would still be alive today. Now you tell me who is really responsible for killing the rhino, Steyl, the Thai or the stupid law that forces the killing of the rhino in order to get the horn?
Hey Myancmyfuture, the deepness of your insight is awe inspiring - pure genius!!
@Diep - you are kidding me - right. You think the legal harvesting is going to stop the slaughter. All it will do is confuse the police who now have to decide what is legal and what is not. Please tell me how that will work. ---> Second - you criticise the article. Please point out in the article where it mentions poaching. You cannot blame News24 for you inability to read. --> The fact is that News24 has got one thing wrong. The permist are NOT legal in that the licenced hunter on the permits (the Thai prostitutes) were NOT the people who shot the animals. Steyl knows this - he is not fulfilling his ethical duty as a PH. ---> Please do not tell me that it is OK to breal the law just because you think it is silly. There are lost of things I consider silly in law, but if I decide that it is not applicable to me then we descend into anarchy. Remember that there are people who believe that cannibalism is fine, who believe that you should be able to have sex with minors - are THEY entitled to make up the laws as they go along. Selling rhino horn is ILLEGAL - look that up. Till then Steyl is being charged due to a valid law - end of story. Defend him if you like, it says much more about you than it does me, or the law.
@Gungets, at least Diep deals in facts, a person can discuss and move ahead and learn from people like that. Try it Gungets, learning is an amazing experience
@Gungets. I will not stoop to the level of exchanging insults. The FACTS that I mentioned were simple. The article mentions that Steyl had legal permits, therefore he should be innocent. I do not defend Steyl or any other person allegedly involved in rhino related crimes. I do however state that the laws are the cause of the problem, not the persons (like Steyl) who may try to find way around such laws. I do not advocate taking the law into your own hands either. I just raise the question: rhino horn can be harvested without killing the animal (i.e. a sustainable non-leathel source of rhino horn), yet the law forces any person who wishes to have a rhino horn to first kill the animal. Can you tell me how many merino sheep were poached for their wool in the last year? Are merino sheep on the list of endangered species? The answer is simple.
All poachers and their accomplices should be shot on sight. No questions asked.
stupid stupid comment koo, the man is not a poacher, read the article again. Perhaps people like yourself should be shot, that way we would get closer to justice
@Roboman- seriously?? Try look back over the past cases of fhino poaching- he is a professional hunter ILLEGALLY dealing in permits through the use of Thai prostitutes to 'legally' hunt rhino- BECAUSE IT'S NOT HIS NAME ON THE PERMIT. So yes he did shoot the rhino under false pretences of having legal permits. He's an accomplice within a syndicate. Good grief some people frustrate me with their narrow mindedness.
@koo looks like roboman1 has an interest in rhino horns.
Listen, all you emotive players with no real interest in the industry, I protect Rhino personally, and provide sanctuary on my own property, and have personally caught poachers and ensured their conviction. I have will stake my money that I have done more to prevent poaching than most of you sitting at your PC's commenting here with emotion. Your emotion is the enemy of conservation and preservation. Game Farmers like myself do more to save Rhinos and other species generally than any of u commenting out there, so please wind your necks in before you wreck the real conservation efforts. "I love animals to death syndrome" is what I read here, because it lacks logic and intelligence. Yes emotively you may not like what I am saying, but until one of you comes back with some logic, refrain from asking for a guys death who trades legally in a business. And yes I did watch Carte Blanche, the "YOU" magazine equivalent of sensationalist journalism. Low on on fact and high on emotion. And no, I have never hunted Rhion and yes I protect Rhion right here on this game farm where I live. I spend many nights patrolling my place, and many time get up at 2, 2, 3 in the morning when I hear traffic or sounds in wild to go and investigate at the risk of my life. But I see that the emotive and thoughtless and uninformed "I love them to death" huggers are a bigger danger to conservation thatn the poachers.
@Roboman - twaddle boet. I have "interests" in the industry with family that are PH's and own game farms where they keep animals for the hunting fraternity. They subscribe to the ethics and tenets of PHASA, the fair-chase philosophy and above all that of conservation. Steyl does NOT. Before you go off at the deep end defending this oke I suggest you read up. Read up on Xaysavang Trading Export-Import company, the R16 million that Steyl was promised to provide the horn for export. --> This has nothing to do with bleeding heart conservationists - I am not one, but with simple greed and non-sustainable use of wildlife. This man is encouraging the use of Rhino horn as a medical product in the East - he is just another drug dealer who will share responsibility for the extinction of a species. He will face trial, as he should. If he is guilty - and why not - how can a PH and safari operator NOT see through the farce of Thai prostitutes putting thei names on hunting permits - he must go to jail. He has not complied with the requirements of the law and of PHASA. Let him suffer. Bully for you babysitting your rhino (when do you allow a prostitute to shoot them???) - your defence of the indefensible puts you in the same light as Steyl. Be careful who you associate with.
@ roboman1 - if you have "personally caught poachers and ensured their conviction" please let us know from where you operate. I am very interested in the welfare of ALL animals that have been poached or are on the poaching list in our country and would like to have proof that these despicable people have been convicted.
You may think I am one of the "emotive" ones, and YES I am. I am not ashamed to nail my colours to the mast when it comes to greedy people exploiting any animals and particularly those who are part of South Africa's heritage!
I would love to come to your game farm and see the animals you own and whether you allow hunting to take place or not.
@Gungets. If you are part of the ethical hunting fraternity then I salute you. I however ask you to consider the laws that Steyl is being charged under. Those laws are killing the rhino. Steyl is not encouraging the use of rhino horn. The use of rhino horn existed and flourished many years ago, long before Steyl was born. The Thai/Chinese people did not get their ideas to use rhino horn from Steyl!! They have been using it for centuries and they will continue to do so. If we want to save the rhino as a species and stop poaching, we should keep ALL the rhinos alive, cut off their horns (with the help of ethical Vets) and sell the horn. Of course, the law has to change first, but that is really my point and I suspect Roboman's too.
The article is poorly written, but then when I read most of the comments here I conclude that it matters not, anyway. And Gungets, lots of people know people who are in the fraternity etc, in fact lots of people probably know Steyl etc, and also claim to be experts, but that does not make you an expert. Time will tell in this particular case whether the man was guilty or not, in law, I seriously have my doubts. As to Ann, you are not well informed if you think poachers to not get convicted. It is a frequent occurrence. Scan court records, you will be surprised. But nevertheless, that is my point, this entire article was not about poaching, but everyone misreads it and comments accordingly. Any of you are most welcome to come to my gamefarm, as a paying customer, and you will find live Rhino, and you will find that we have never hunted a Rhino, but be that as it may, it is time people started to deal with facts in each situation. As for breaking laws, well we will see, I am a great believer in the courts are there for justice, not emotive, subjective pseudo conservationists. But legal hunting is a part of conservation, and game farmers are bigger contributors to preservation and conservation than any "hug them to death" bunny boiler that I have ever met.
Stephanie, lets not debate the legality or not, until the court has ruled. If Steyl is guilty, then he will go to jail, I have no objection about that, but I do object to people wanting to jail, shoot and castigate people without the courts ruling first. I also struggle with emotive journalism that does not differentiate between legal hunting and poaching. Gungets states that..."there is no legal way of exporting Rhino horn" This is not true, Rhino trophies may be exported, I do not say I agree that this is moral, but it is legal, my point is people must deal with facts.
@Diep - not for one second do I believe that the legalisation of the sale of Rhino horn will stop poaching or the unethical practices like these. Ther are 1 billion Chinese, another 250 million Asians who believe in this sh#t. Right now rhino horn medication (for more than just impotence, it is used for a great many things) is too expensive for anyone except the rich. Flood the market and you open up a much bigger market, more demand, more illegal sales. Short answer - no. I think people like Steyl, Groenwald et al are encouraging the illegal export of rhino horn and therefore implicated in all illegal activities relating to rhino - INCLUDING POACHING - because they make tracing the source more difficult. --> By the way, I do not hunt. I cannot bring myself to pull the trigger on an animal, but I do eat meat (so I am a bit of a hypocrite - I allow others to do it for me), but I also realise that the hunting fraternity is also a huge part of conservation. My family are conservationists first, then hunters. I have no issue with them, they are right on top of the ethical hunting fraternity. Endangered species - off limits. Finish and klaar.
@Gungets, not just are you a self acknowledged hypocrite, you are also guilty of expressing opinions on a subject that you appear to have limited knowledge of, just because you have some family in the hunting trade. The open selling of stockpiled Rhino is horn under debate right now in conservation circles, and is considered a possible solution, because it will collapse the current syndicates, which are not that easy to start up again in a few years time. But the main thing is it will intercept the current illegal trade in horn and create a traceable legit business, where the profits can be used to educate people out of their current beliefs.
@Roboman - please don't quote me and then do it badly. There is no legal way of exporting rhino horn. The implicitly states "horn" and not trophy. This is the angle that your buddy Marnus and his Thai team have been using. Dressing up working girls as "hunters" and then exporting the "trophy" they they have not shot. Any bets that the trophy cannot be produced after export - if it even makes it onto the boat. They are bending the rules. If you support that, just say it. No point in beating around this bush.
@Roboman - "But the main thing is it will intercept the current illegal trade in horn and create a traceable legit business, where the profits can be used to educate people out of their current beliefs." - HOW??? --> 1. My claiming to be a hypocrite is called "Self Deprecation" - look it up. I enjoy meat but don't have the heart to kill it myself. I have no issues with hunting. Using that by saying I am a self confessed hypocrite is childish. Leave it. ---> 2. I welcome anything that halts the killing of rhino but doubt that this will help. It has not helped elephant poaching in Africa when stockpiles were allowed to be sold. Why would this change anything. --> 3. You would be very surprised at my knowledge of the industry so best we not try and compare ourselves.
@Gungets. Right. Lets look at elephant ivory. Is it possible to harvest ivory from an elephant without killing the animal? No. So elephant ivory is not a sustainable, harvestable resource, but rhino horn is. You say there are millions of people who use rhino horn and therefore we can never sustain the demand. Well I ask you how many people on earth (not only in China or Asia but ALL OVER THE WORLD) wear wool jerseys and other wool clothing products? Do you think we can sustain the world wide demand for wool? Or do you say that merino sheep will become extinct because billions of people want to use their sustainably harvested product? I dare you to answer with FACTS, not emotions.
I quoted you 100% correctly. What you said up there with many of your other un-thought through comments. Anyway< i have no wish to tarde insults with you. We can talk again after this court case. (Or any other time you wish to have a factual debate that may contribute to saving Rhino or furthering the protection of Africas wonderful wildlife.) In the meantime try and mature up your perspective a bit, and btw, saying that you think you know a lot about something does not make it so, it just means you think so. I will side with Diep on this one, he seems to have a more learned and mature perspective on these matters. And be careful when you self deprecate, as was the case in this instance, people may just believe you!
@Dipe and Robo - are you really, really, trying to compare sheep to rhino. Do you believe that legalising the harvesting of rhino horn is going to lead to MILLIONS of rhino, all having their horns shaved every year. The rhino horn grows at max 10cm a year. Sheep regerate their wool every year. It's just a nonsense comparison, so unless you can come up with something better than that it is not worth discussing. ---> Robo - FACTS boet, just facts. You say that I have no knowledge without providing ANY of your own. You have not provided a single fact yourself. You are now riding on the coat tails of someone who might have some knowledge, even if they have used a rather spurious comparison of wool from sheep to horns from rhino. ---> Roboman - try and fight the way you would like to be fought with. If you feel my facts are wrong, take the time to type those up - right here is a good place. If you have facts to dispute my "opinions" then put them down here.
@Dipe - fact 1. World sheep poplulation is 1,157,826,000. ---. Fact 2 sheep wool growth - full load each year. --->. Fact 3 - rhino horn grows at max 10cm a year, 1/2 that when it ages --> Fact 4 - land carrying capacity of rhino vs sheep, about 1 : 200 - but a silly comparison given their different grazing/browsing. ----> Do you seriously think that comparing wool to rhino horn is a realistic one?
@gungets, your counting of sheep is exhausting. You can google some stats but you are a babe in the woods when it comes to using the stats to make sense. Go away and come back in 20 years when you have levated and educated yourself please.
@roboman - anyone reading this thread will realise that you have added absolutley nothing. Not one fact except the invented one that you own a game farm and raise rhino. A few months ago you were sitting on the Durban beachfront looking at the new stadium and complaining that it was a white elephant, and as a tax-payer you did not want to subsidise it. You are just trying to cause an argument. I think there is a word for that but this whole thing is a little tiring. The closest thing that you have to look after tonight is your pet poodle. It is storming over Umbilo so I suggest you toddle off and make sure Tiddles is OK. The adults are trying to discuss something. Enough - I enjoy (eventually) finding some common ground with people like Diep. You, not so much. So cheers, have a good one.
If this is guilty I hope he gets serious time in jail.
Guilty of what Gerhard? I am only interested to know what you actually understood from this pathetic article?
He is being charged with contravening the Customs and Excise Act and fraud. What don't you understand?
@roboman1 - perhaps a lot of us read other information out there and listen with intent to reports on radio and wherever possible. As one of the "privileged" of which I earlier spoke, surely you want to save animals, particularly those who are being mercilessly murdered on a daily basis in the name of money.
@kayceechick - I agree, R10,000 is a mere slap on the nose for these bastards - that is why I advocate a very lengthy languish in a maximum security prison!
@jacqui - stockpiling is not a good idea. In Asia these swines are already doing just that so they can drive the price up even more and make even more blood money from their crimes.
I suggest everyone Google - rhinofarms in Asia - they are simply disgusting and sadly some of the "trusted" game farmers in our country are suppliers to these places.
Oh and yes, roboman1 - THIS IS MY HOBBY HORSE - I will do anything in my power to stop the poaching of any species of animal in our country and beyond our borders!!!
As a writer, I already highlight the plight of several species such as Hippo, Jackal, Hyena and a number of others whenever I am able to.
very dissapointing - Marius and crew illegally exporting rhino horn who would have thought , a farm ownwer colluding with thai criminals to contravene export laws. Throw the book at him...
Yes and throw the book at roboman1 too. I don't like holier than tho attitudes. Blimey.
Ridiculous, now I am also guilty hey? My absolute point why the courts need to rule and not immature bunny huggers that can barely string a few logical coherent thoughts together. If they guilty put them away, but do not jump to conclusions when you glean your facts from Carte Blanche and You magazine, hardly credible sober clinical sources! Jacqui, now wonder you have like 18 friends on FB with that attitude
Disgusting people! Hunting season should be open against all poachers!
Against poachers yes, but these people were not found to be poaching, and they have not been charged with poaching either
Accused rhino poacher = R100,000 bail.
Accused murderer (Mathew Naidoo) = R20,000 bail.
Go figure ... :(
"Chunchom was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport on Friday after the Hawks suspected he may have to return to engage in illicit activities.
A South African court found him guilty last year of smuggling animal products like lion bones into the country. He was fined R10 000."
Shame, only R10 000 fine... how much does that Lion cost to buy (alive)? How much would that Lion have brought in on tourist dollars? And where did that R10 000 fine go to? Not conservation I bet.
Imprison them and throw away the keyes
I have been thinking if the stockpile of horn would be sold, won't that solve these awful practices?.
Yes Jacqui!!! You are right. If it was possible to legally sell the thousands of horn in stockpiles, Steyl and his co-accused would never have shot one single rhino.
Jacqui, this is one of the most sensible suggestions yet, well done for a logical and practicable view. It would take the syndicates out quickly, and syndicates are not rebuilt that quickly again. It would be the fastest way to end Rhino poaching. Indeed, and then use the profits from the Rhino horn to educate people globally about Rhino horn and that it does not have medicinal benefits.
They should try this with cocaine and LSD. Flood the market with it, then use the money to start rehab centres. Amaxng they have never thought about that. Or - they might just create a whole new user base - rhino horn is an expensive medication but 100's of millions would LIKE to use it - then you have to wean them off it as well. ---> @Roboman - since we are dealing in facts - do you have any to support this proposal. Like any illegal trade of anything that has been stemmed by making it legal. Just a few will do. Don't bother responding unless it is a few examples, we have talked this to death, only facts are going to resolve it.
@Gungets. One example is alcohol. At one stage it was banned but now it is legal. A much better example is Velvet which is sustainably harvested from the horn of Deer. Google this and you will find a flourishing sustainable trade in New Zealand WITH NO POACHING. Another excelent example is the Vicuna (an animal similar to a Lama) which produces sustainably harvested wool. It used to be endangered until the laws governing it changed and allowed a strictly regulated trade. This animal now flourishes and so does the trade in its wool and there is NO POACHING. The difference between your drug exmaple (LSD and cocaine) and rhino horn is simple, rhino horn is harmless, it does not addict and kill the consumers thereof. So your argument is invalid. Facts.
@Gunget, are you of the school of thought that if it has not been done before it cannot work in the future? You are so narrow and simple. Why am I even debating with you? Google would not exist if people thought like you, in fact the internet would not be here if smart brave people did not try new things. The blessing of course if the internet was not here I would not be dealing with your limited intellect right now. Rhino horn is not addicitve like LSD etc, and you cannot produce it in labs everywhere, you can control the supply and there are large quantities available, so yes, it will collapse the syndicates initially. And one other thing retard, I have rhino, that is why I look for solutions, for you it is a childish debate with no reality attached. Tonight I have to be alert against rhino poachers, less than 1800 meters from where I am sitting and typing a rhino was poached and a calf wounded. This is not a theoretical debate for me you mental midget, this is reality. And while you talk nonsense Rhino die, whereas we as Rhino owners are trying to 1. stop poaching daily and 2. find longer term more sustainable solutions.
@Diep - sheep vs rhino?. Alcohol vs rhino. Sorry, don't buy it. I will check out the example of the Vicuna. Thanks for the examples - it is useful. Is the example of velvet not a bit invalid since there are synthetic products that have taken it's place. Also, does the geopgraphy not have something to do with it. The Vicuna looks like it is fairly remote, and New Zealand does not have some of our social issues which make poaching and crime a national past-time? The problem with rhino horn is that synthetics will not cut it. The Chinese have synthetic products that produce the same effect as they THINK rhino does (fever control, infection control etc .. and yes, virility) but they do not act as substitutes. ----> Roboman - our conversation is over. Not once, not ONCE have I made this personal. You have, continue to do so, and have still not come up with anything of substance. You go and look after your rhino - I hope you do a better job of that than you do arguing a point or the rhino is doomed. But, well, I guess we will just have to trust what you say about your involvement.
The state of our nation is a very sad one indeed. To think that our natural resources and heritage are being raped by greed, selfishness and unproven myths. No one and nothing is safe these days especially those that cant defend themselves such as our environment, children and our senior citizens. As naive as it seems I am still hopeful and proud to be SA.....

Steyl should have known better. He should be shown no mercy! String him up and cut off his horn and leave to die slowly like the rhinos have!
The Rhino died slowly? you know this? Some more well informed people
Sny sy "horing" af en bere hom (Steyl) vir lank in die tronk die vark!!!

My Word for the Year: ForwardJanuary 22, 2017
Have you ever had a mantra for the year? I have. I started it last year. It can be a sentence or a phrase that will guide you and your actions for the year. I think I got it from another blogger who posted something about it a year prior to me starting it. Last year I used "Love Yourself" because I felt that I was giving more of myself to other people and to work and I needed to step back and re-learn to prioritize myself and recognize my own needs before I took on the needs of others. It was helpful for me last year and I decided to do it again today.
A phrase that stood out for me at the start of the year was "Make it or Break it." There are several things that I want to accomplish this year and I thought that it would be a good way to motivate me. When I had time to think about it, the phrase just seemed to hold too much pressure for me. If I wanted to love myself last year, I think that expecting too much from myself might be the exact opposite. I feel too stressed from life as it is. I decided to think of something else.
One of my favorite bloggers, Kate Alvarez, posed the question (I am paraphrasing here): if you could choose one word to guide you this year, what would it be? Funny enough, I had one in mind before I even saw the post.
I was watching America's Next Top Model's new season and they were using the word "Boss" as their main word. They wanted the models to keep the word in mind with everything that they were doing. They wanted them to act and live like a boss to accomplish their model-dreams. That's where I got the idea of using just one word to guide me for this year. That's when something came to me, a word that just popped out in my head:
|Thinking forward...
I turn 40 this year. I look back and realize I have so many dreams that have yet to be fulfilled. There are so many things from my past that I felt I could have done better. There's nothing I can do about that. The only thing I can do now is move forward.
I have several health issues. I feel like it has always been one step forward, two steps back when it comes to my health. Sometimes I just want to give up. I need to face everything and just keep moving. Keep doing what I can. Keep going forward.
There are so many challenges at work. It feels like every time there is an obstacle that has been overcome, there is another greater one that takes its place. I know that I can't just crawl into a corner and wait for it to go away. No matter what, I just must do what I can and hope for the best. I must keep moving and keep pushing forward.
I have my share of insecurities, anxieties, worries and moments of depression. Sometimes it keeps me from doing anything at all. It is a struggle to overcome. But I cannot let it bring me down. I cannot let it push me down and let me drown. I need to look ahead and fight for that light at the end of the tunnel. I need to look forward.
For anything I accomplish, I need to remember not to let it get to my head. I need to keep a level head. I need to keep living my life the way I used to with or without any accomplishments. I need to keep my head forward.
Forward. It is just one word but now that I think about it, the meaning of it has so much significance. For every struggle, I need to move forward. For every regret, I need to keep looking forward. For every setback, I need to keep pushing forward. For every accomplishment, I need to keep going forward. I should not let life hold me back by either being too complacent or too worried.
What about you? If you could choose one word to guide you this year, what would it be?

Jean-Michel Basquiat is the Tupac Shakur of sneaker collaborations. Both of these guys have gained posthumous fame thanks to stockpiled works, and the ongoing collection of Basquiat-'designed' Reeboks is exposing the late neo-expressionist to a crowd that might have never heard his name. With the Fall/Winter 2010 capsule, you can expect the Basquiat signature scrawlings in a bunch of wild colours, added to some of RBK's greatest hits. We see the Dual Pump Runner, Top Down and Pump Omni Lite; can you pick out the others? via Provider

Four sci-fi short stories where you'll find good computers, people who regret their past, and an explanation for something you're familiar with.
The first section had a series of six images that appeared grouped together. The furthest left showed a small creature that appeared to live in water. On its right was a similar creature, but it had legs and was crawling on the land. The remainder of the series showed progressive images showing the creature growing larger, and the appendages changing until it was fully erect and it was strikingly similar to the bone structure she had just looked at.
"The Greatest Host"
After the foraging, the host moved to a corner of the open area and there was another creature. The Mists were concerned that if their host were threatened or attacked, it would be terrible for them. They could all lose their lives at once. If the host sensed any threat, they would immediately use all of their ability to coerce the host back to the ship's location so they could download.
"Circle is Closed"
Commander Leopold Harnesy was standing on the bridge of the HSV#2. He was nervous; in fact, he was scared. The fate of HSV#1 was fresh in his mind. His ship's predecessor was sitting in the same exact location five years ago, and when its commander, Roberta Jenkins, engaged the faster than light drive, the ship disintegrated into trillions of molecules. It was obvious what had happened, the calculations were a little off.
"Good Morning..."
This short story is an interesting tie-in between science fiction and corporate culture, with a computer throwing in a twist. Anyone that has worked in a large company will share some of the issues that Robert deals with. In this story, instead of 'they' causing the problem, it is the computer sharing the assignment.

Fascinating threads left untied
Mr. Perrault's stories are an acquired taste, and this anthology is not exception. That said, it is "classic" sci fi ,and so I would for those fans.
He is a good fit both stylistically and emotionally with RJP's content, and he was professional and consistent. I enjoyed him bringing the stories to life.
Anthologies rarely do, and this is no exception.
I received this audiobook from the author via Audioblast in exchange for an unbiased review, which is what this is. This is a moderately good anthology of similar short stories by RJP. Some of better than others, and some of them are unfinished or need editing. That said, it is an interesting collection of similar themed stories and worth the listen.

Nice sci-fci collection

Unanswered: performance with Access frontend ?
we are having performance problems with a pure MS Access database across a WAN.
As a test we want to setup a MSSQL server , move the data to the server and run the MS Access clients through a ODBC interface.
The application uses much SQL methods to get the data ( docmd.runsql commands ). Only a few native queries are used.
Will this help the performance ?
If not , what do i need to do to get a better performance ?
It is a lot of work to build a new application so if it is possible whith the existing code it would be very nice .
Thanks in advance.Bye Erwin

The best way to get performance from an Access front-end using a SQL Server database is to try and move as much of the data processing onto the server. There are a number of methods available for doing this. If you use a lot of DoCmd.RunSQL queries the quickest and easiest way to achieve this would be to use Pass-Through queries (look up Access help).
Pass-through queries are, as the name suggests, a way to pass a SELECT statement (or any valid SQL statement) straight to the Server for processing, thus missing out the potentially slow Access client. The only downside to this is that Pass-Through queries are returned to Access as read-only recordsets, so the results of these queries can't be changed.
You could also open a recordset in VBA and set the cursor location to use the server.
Also, if your queries are quite complicated you could build a View and access the data that way. A view will also give you read/write access to the data if you so wish.
