The most popular product of the non-banking financial market are, of course, payday loans, i.e. short-term loans. Their name does not come from nowhere. They are awarded for a really short time.
In general, their loan period is from a few to a maximum of sixty days.
Initially, non-bank companies offered their clients loans for a short period of time as well as a relatively small amount – they were not loans higher than a maximum of PLN 1,000. Currently the situation has changed significantly. As for payday payday, you can borrow up to six thousand zlotys today. The lowest amount that comes into play in most parabanks is fifty zlotys. It is worth adding that a lot of parabanks offer their clients a free first loan. What does it mean? We will not pay any interest or commission on the first loan. Thanks to this, we will refund exactly the amount that the parabank lent us.
Among the loans currently enjoying great interest include the so-called payday loans. They are offered by parabanks, of which there are more every year. Few people know, however, that their offer is not only payday loans. Below we present what we can count on when deciding to take advantage of the parabanks offer.
Parabanks are constantly expanding their offer. Currently, these are not only payday loans, but also installment loans granted for higher amounts and longer periods. It's a good choice for people who need a much higher amount of money, but don't get a traditional loan at any bank. Such a loan is even thirty thousand zlotys today. What loan period can be used? It depends of course on the lender, but you can bet for up to four years. When choosing a loan, you need to consider the potential costs that are associated with it.
At What Bank A Quick Credit Decision?
Verification by bank transfer – This method of verification works very well when it comes to payday loans. The person who submits the application is required to perform the verification transfer. Importantly, this transfer must be made from an account that we own. His task is to confirm our identity. So if it is made from another person's account, it will not allow you to grant a loan. The lender will only start processing the application once the transfer we have made has been on its account. No transfer means you cannot borrow money.
Loan companies most often verify the identity of their clients based on the ID card provided. The loan application must include the series as well as the ID number. Sometimes a photocopy of the document is required, which is then attached to the application. If we take out a loan using the Internet, we must provide a scan of your ID card. However, you can do this by using email.
Everyone who decided to borrow money would like to make the loan decision almost immediately. Meanwhile, you have to wait a little for her. In the case of parabanks, which provide so-called payday loans, everything is done very quickly. Let's see what lenders use to verify customers.
Parabanks use verification not only using an identity document and bank transfer, but also a special application. To confirm your identity, log in to your own bank account. The application will download all the data it needs. A lot of people will ask here if it is a secure solution. It should be emphasized that such applications have very extensive security. Therefore, you should not be afraid that confidential information will reach unauthorized persons.
Where did I get a loan without a credit history?
Admittedly, parabanks already allow the so-called credit holidays, but it is expensive for them. For deferring the repayment date of subsequent installments, one should pay. As a result, the loan becomes even more expensive. What's more, the parabank may of course refuse to give us such help in paying off the debt.
The most important disadvantage of payday loans is, above all, significant interest rate. APRC, i.e. the total annual interest rate is much higher in their case than in the case of classic bank loans. What does this mean for the customer? To the parabank we have to give back a much larger amount than the one we decided to borrow. That is why it is so important to think sensibly about the amount you want to borrow. You should seriously think about whether we can deal with its repayment.
Late repayment is an element of payday payday, which can translate into significant costs. Everyone who decided to take a payday should know that not paying installments on time is a necessity to pay considerable interest. As a result, we will refund a much larger amount to the parabank than the one we decided to borrow. For this reason, it is important for payday loans to ensure that each installment is repaid on the date agreed when signing the contract. This will avoid unnecessary additional costs.

Despite the increasing number of CIOs without an IT background, it's still fair to say that most were once techies. Historically, their expertise was in requirements analysis or SQL, service reporting or C++. They gradually moved up the ranks, either with a natural aptitude for management or picking-up management skills en route.
When they reach the role of CIO their focus needs to shift to leadership, strategy, inspiring the troops, organisation and skills, and governance ... all of which might seem somewhat mysterious at first.
Let's try to demystify IT governance ...
Perhaps the single best source of information on IT governance is ISACA's "COBIT" framework (see isaca.org). I'm an ISACA member, and I've pored over the latest version of this framework. Boiling-down all the content, it explains that IT governance is 'just' the business of determining:
- What decisions must be made?
- Who should make them?
- How should they be made?
- How should all of the above be monitored and measured?
The ultimate aim of course is to ensure that business benefit is actually realised, with controlled investment and with acceptable risk.
A simple enough idea then. With a bit of luck, and a following wind, some CIOs might design an IT governance model in an afternoon.
More often it will take weeks, often with outside advice. In a large, mature IT estate there's usually an extensive array of stakeholders, a lengthy catalogue of services, entrenched ways of working, and trade-offs to make. There are information gaps too: both in how IT should align to the business strategy, and in how IT is really performing today.
And before you start, you need to be clear what your aim is. There's no point designing the world's most sophisticated governance model when the risks presented by IT are well-understood, minimal and manageable. That would be an unnecessary overhead and would frustrate progress. You need to understand what level of maturity is appropriate in each area of governance … and why.
As a first step we usually advise a brief exercise to model how IT relates to your business, an assessment of current governance against industry standards, the design of a future governance model, and some light transition planning to make sure the deployment of improvements if effective.
Another example then of a discipline where the concept is very simple, but the detail is very difficult to get right. If your IT service is straightforward you may have the time and expertise to design the required IT governance by yourself. Otherwise please feel free to get in touch for information or advice.

Accpted Payment Methods
- Pay securely with PayPal
Product introduction
GT series record player developed under the design philosophy of Gigantic & Tremendous. Production ended around 1989, but then it was reprinted as a limited production item in 1991. Turntable with diameter 374 mm manufactured by hot forging method is adopted as turntable. The hot forging method is a method in which aluminum refined to nearly 100% purity is heated to 500 to 700 degrees Celsius, compression molded with a special high pressure press machine, and further precision finishing is carried out by cutting and scratches etc. It is a hard alumite treatment. In the production method such as general die casting and forging method, since aluminum alloy containing copper or zinc is used as a material, the defects such as the occurrence of the nest inside and the inability to maintain accurate dynamic balance are included However, the hot forging method does not have such disadvantages, and it is equal to realizing the scraping out of solid material reasonably.
Item introduction
This turntable is in Excellent condition, with only very minor aging, without noticeable scratches (see pictures). Furthermore, this turntable has been rigorously tested by our professional technician, confirming its flawless operation. This is as expected from Yamaha products of this era, which were built for a lifetime of operation.

I'm fellow collaborator and fellow learner. With curiosity as currency and two-footed questions as engine – we move key concepts into lived experiences that add meaning. Theory and words wiggle into actions and benefits that inspire students from where they stand to where they dream. How so?
Let's say I teach O'Henry's, Gift of the Magi. I open by asking: What's your best gift this holiday and how will it benefit others? That trigger question propels further interaction to move the narrative forward until students internalize key concepts into zest for their own lives.
When we start with curiosity-building we end with deeper takeaways! Pass a talking stick to each in your circle. Only the person holding the stick speaks and everybody else listens to their gift-giving plans and benefits. As collaborator, I answer the question too, and when the stick comes to me, I pose another two-footed question to move us forward yet again.

Numerous late nights locked in the John Askew lab and a driving winter warmer is born. Midnight Oil is the child of those precious and truly priceless late night hours in front of the speakers when creativity has complete freedom and space to blossom, uninhibited by the persistent drone of every day life.

As Sony and Microsoft scramble to release their motion controllers, it's becoming clear that both are trying to build upon Nintendo's original offering, take it further and expanding their respective customer bases.
I was recently discussing the whole Natal 'revolution' with someone who is associated with the technology's history. He was trying to convince me how it will change the nature of the industry and become a 'game changer'.
Sony too, are already in full PR mode explaining to the gaming press how their motion control will offer an unparalleled level of precision. Now I'm not going to tell you Natal or Sony's won't be as good as is being suggested, because I think they will be excellent. The technology behind them seems robust and its performance superb. We have seen video examples of people using them and they seem fast, responsive and accurate.
However, that alone doesn't make them an industry changer. The idea that everyone is going to suddenly buy one is fanciful. Will it drive Xbox 360 sales? Perhaps, especially to some people who have not got a Wii. However the marketing will be complex, as they would need to rebrand the console to be able to move whole-heartedly into the casual space. Sony and Microsoft have both had casual games with alternative controllers out for some time, and neither have allowed them to cut into the mass market as Nintendo have been able to.
Just as the Wii suffers from not being perceived as a hardcore console (and that's with more hardcore games being produced for it) so the 360 and PS3 suffer from being perceived as being hardcore and adult. Indeed, Scene It, Lips, Singstar and Buzz have so far failed to change this perception amongst the wider public.
Another issue of course is that not every existing or future PS3 or 360 user will actually buy the new controllers and that means developers still have to make games that won't work with or take into account the new technology. It splits the platform, which can make it more expensive to develop for. Alternatively developers will add functionality in most games to support the controller, but it will rarely be key to gameplay, except for a few first party or key third party titles. If it's not key to the gaming experience then many users will conclude that they can get along without it just fine. Sixaxis controller anyone?
I was chatting to an RTS fan the other day that was new to the whole console experience. He was taken aback at seeing Halo Wars on a big TV in my living room, but couldn't understand why it didn't have mouse and keyboard support. Clearly it can, but the developers know not all players will have one and then it creates two sets of players thereby making the gameplay experience harder to manage.
One of the other issues my friend, close to the 'history of the Natal tech', was trying to sell me on was that people don't want to have to hold a device like a Wiimote. I had news for him. They do. That's why there is a whole industry of bits of useless plastic which sticks onto your Wiimote. If you are playing tennis, you have a plastic tennis racket whilst golf benefits from a club or just the Wiimote in your hand. Now clearly Natal could be used with bits of plastic, but at that point you have then managed to undermine your USP for being controller free!
Sport games, shooting games, in fact lots of games all benefit from some tactile control over something physical in the real world. Additionally the Wiimote (along with the Motion Plus for argument's sake) has buttons on it and an adapter with a traditional analogue stick. This means you can have motion and traditional gameplay at once. The guys at Nintendo knew what they were doing when they created the Wii. Sony's device I believe has a button on it, but from what we have seen so far I'm yet to work out how players can have traditional character movement alongside 'point and shoot' dynamics. The latest preview was for the 'upgraded' version of Resident Evil 5 being produced for the new Sony technology. In the video we see a player holding one handed a traditional dualshock with the other handling the pointing. If proof is needed of why a 'point and shoot' device needs multiple buttons (and a comfortable nunchuk style analogue stick), then watching that video is it! I cannot imagine that being the preferred control scheme as it looks uncomfortable and tiring. Perhaps, nearer to release, Sony will announce a nunchuk style product; they certainly need to look into this.
Natal has no buttons, as it has no device to hold. However there is no reason why you can't use a standard controller whilst moving your head or lobbing a grenade at the screen. Yet as most FPS games require you to be 'hands on' at all times (how many times have you thrown a grenade whilst strafing in Halo 3 or CoD?) it will be interesting to see how much extra interaction these traditional games can have with the motion technologies being offered. One area of real interest with Natal will be added viewing data via head movement – i.e. looking around corners.
There is of course one other major factor. Nintendo are hard at work with that massive R&D investment they are currently making. If we assume that they too are able to backwards engineer their Wiimote technology as countless other individuals have now done on YouTube, it would seem that the next step is for them to stick a camera on the sensor bar (which at present is just two led lights), resulting in camera based technology similar to Sony's and Microsoft's. If this can be used in addition to or with the current Wiimote tech (depending on the gameplay) then their experience will only become even more accurate and interactive. However it will be built on top of existing technology. Here, you see, is the killer point. If this new and improved Wii (whether it be HD or not) is 100% backwards compatible with the rather large existing Wii market, then it could be game over for Sony and Microsoft just as they start to catch up.
The Wii consumer is not accustomed to buying new consoles and new software every 2-3 years. This market owns multiple remotes, lots of games, a WiiBalance board and lots of plastic attachments. Are they all going to jump ship?
I'll definitely have Natal, possibly also the Sony system. Fable 3 players will get Natal, as we assume it will use it. In theory these new controllers should continue the expansion of the gaming experience and also of the market in general. On the other hand, Microsoft and Sony might find that the launch of their new motion technologies becomes a distraction to their hardcore experience.
I would be surprised if it will be a game changer in this or the .5-generation that everyone is assuming we are moving into. Nintendo started this game with the Wii and will decide whether it's a 2, 3 or 5 set match.

Just like a wine tasting, a pepper tasting starts with the whites. We each take a white peppercorn or two and place them in our mouths before crunching down to get the full, and surprisingly mild, flavour. "This one goes well with cream sauces, with Chinese food and with white meat," our guide explains.
There is more to come as we taste our way through the variants of Kampot pepper, a Cambodian spice revered by chefs around the world. There are the green peppercorns, picked before they ripen; black ones, which are simply the green ones that have been dried in the sun; and the white ones, which are the black ones with the skin removed. The red ones are peppercorns that have been left on the vine to ripen. Each of them has its own taste, but they all share a distinctly floral note that sets Kampot apart from other peppers.
Kampot pepper is staging a comeback. Having almost disappeared under the Khmer Rouge regime, a number of small plantations, like the one we are visiting, are working to reestablish the industry. The visit was suggested by the staff at Alila Villas Koh Russey, the new island resort on Cambodia's south coast. "We encourage our guests to get out and explore," says Christophe Parault, the resort's marketing and communications director. "This part of Cambodia isn't really on the tourist map yet, but there is so much to see and do."
Like Kampot pepper, Cambodia's south is undergoing a revival of its own. During the 1960s, this area was known as the Cambodian Riviera, and attracted the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy and Catherine Deneuve. These days, with overdevelopment marring some parts of the coastal strip, companies such as Alila Villas and Six Senses are looking instead to the islands sprinkled just offshore, fringed with powder sand beaches and offering easy access. (Alila's private jetty is just a 10-minute drive from Sihanoukville Airport.)
Alila is known for its commitment to sustainability, and its Koh Russey master plan has left 85 per cent of the resort area as natural landscape. The area's public spaces, from the lobby to the main restaurant, flow seamlessly into each other, and feature a striking geometric design inspired by the traditional Cambodian checked krama cloth.
The accommodations are divided between pavilion and villas, all done in Alila's typically minimalist approach. The generously sized villas, which come with their own private pool, are the lodgings of choice. The food is a highlight, whether you dine at the casual Beach Shack or Horizon restaurant. There are of course plenty of Cambodian dishes showcasing local specialties, such as Kampot pepper and Kep crab, as well as sophisticated French-inspired cuisine. Be adventurous and try one of the Cambodian breakfast specialties: nom krouk rice balls are recommended.
If you want to go exploring, there is much to discover, including Bokor National Park, where you can go trekking or visit an old colonial hill station. The area is also home to some striking caves including Phnom Chhnork, which houses a seventh-century temple, and the crater-like Phnom Kbal Romeas, which houses its own forest.
Naturally, snorkelling, fishing and kayaking are all available, along with cooking classes. Alila's superb spa treatments are one of its signature strengths; the resort also offers superb tailored yoga classes. Looking for a touch of romance? Try the beach picnic or the outdoor cinema in the privacy of your villa.
A one-hour flight takes you from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville. It is a 10-minute car trip to the jetty and a 10-minute boat trip to the island.
Rates for a pavilion start at $US365 a night twin share, including daily breakfast, return Sihanoukville airport transfers, and scheduled shuttle boat-service to the mainland.

Know yourself, not your investments
An edited version of this article was published in the 7 October 2017 issue of TODAY.
Below is our original article in full.
Do you sometimes find yourself to be a tangled web of contradictions? Some of us may think nothing about bungee-jumping off a cliff, or navigating fierce rapids in white water rafting, but when it comes to investing, the same people who find enjoyment in such death-defying activities may exclaim: "Stocks? Too risky!"
What gives?
One may argue that most extreme sports enthusiasts will do their research and only go with trusted, experienced instructors to reduce the risk of something going wrong. More importantly, they would first ensure that they are physically fit and fully prepared.
Yet, when it comes to investing, few of us apply the same rigour. We neglect conducting the proper due diligence on those who would be managing our hard-earned money. More importantly, we neglect assessing our financial health to understand our own risk tolerance and how much we can afford to lose before it impacts our long term goals and psychologically devastates us.
This self-discovery process is something a good fiduciary adviser should do right at the start before even talking about solutions or products. They also need to help investors understand how markets work, especially in a crisis. Sequentially going through a simulated a crisis will give the investor a better understanding of how they are likely to react when markets eventually fall, as well as prepare them for what to expect and do when a real crash occurs - just like a practice run in extreme sports! Unfortunately, this is rarely done due to the time required and the constant pressure to close the sale.
Some investors believe all this is wholly unnecessary and prefer to do their own thing based on information gleaned from CNBC, Bloomberg or some other hot tip. To see how individual actions affect investment returns, we can refer to Dalbar's Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behaviour (QAIB) study. (Dalbar is an independent research firm that has been measuring investor behaviour and the impact on their performance since 1994.)
They found that on average, investors underperform stock and bond benchmarks by more than half. The long run return of the US stock index is approximately 10%, but investors received less than 4% in returns, and less than 1% for bonds vs. 6% from the aggregate bond index. Even accounting for trading and fund management costs, the underperformance gap is still too large to ignore. Behavioural finance research has revealed that how much money you make from an investment depends much more on how you behave than how the investment does. In other words, when left to their own devices, investors tend to make bad investment decisions.
So, how do we prevent this from happening? Let's look at some examples. Mr Tan owns Stock A and wanted to switch to Stock B when they were trading around the same price, because his friend told him Stock B was good. In the end, he stayed put. On the other hand, Mr Lee started out owning Stock B but switched to Stock A instead. Stock B then outperforms Stock A by nearly three times. Who would feel worse about it? Research shows that Mr Lee would feel much worse, simply because making a mistake from an action feels more painful than a mistake from inaction. Harvard Economics' Richard Zeckhauser calls this the 'status quo bias'. We thus avoid making any necessary changes to our investments, as we prefer to stick with our last decision and hope for the best.
Another common mistake investors make is "anchoring"; that is, we always compare the current value of a stock to historical prices. In 2006 and 2007, investors piled into Singapore Airlines stocks when it broke $15, expecting that it would go past $20 due to its excellent product and brand name. However, with the 2008 crisis, the stock suffered a sell-off, just like all equities. Investors who were convinced that the stock would recover back to its previous high went in to buy with this $15 anchor in mind. In 2010, the share price recovered and rose past $15. Subsequently, with new competition and oil prices, after a rally to $16, the stock fell back to hover around $10 to $11 – where it's been for the past 5 years. The point of highlighting SIA stock is not to encourage the buying of individual stocks, but to illustrate how a share price can get stuck (or anchored) in our minds, and we blindly buy without remembering that a stock price is totally unrelated to its historical price.
So, here are some simple techniques to help us get around our biases. For starters, we need to be more realistic. Reading about how stock X went up 2,000% or how someone became a billionaire by betting all their money on some technology company will not help you. Knowing that the long-term return for a broadly diversified asset class is 6 to 8%, will help you broadly define the limits of achievable long term returns of most investments.
Another suggestion is to not look at your investments too often. A study done by the US stock exchange showed that on average, young investors check their investments at least once a week. This is way too often. If you are really investing for the 'long-term', checking annually is sufficient. Remember that most property investors check the valuations of their property only when they want to sell.
Finally, think about the bigger picture and ask yourself honestly - how much of your life would change if the stock market fell by 20% and stayed there for the next 6 years? If you have just retired and are living off your investments, there could be some impact to your financial plan. But for most people, the impact would be minimal as it is money set aside for the long term.
Many people invest just to "make money fast", without knowing their financial targets and the time horizon needed to get there, which is based on how much risk they are prepared to take. This is why investors panic when markets fall – they had taken on too much risk and are shocked by the magnitude of the paper loss. Whereas a seasoned investor allocates his investments right at the start to be congruent with the level of loss they can handle, and then just allow time and compounding to get them there.
At the end of the day, a successful investor is defined by how well they weather market crises and remain in control of their financial goals, versus an indeterminate amount of money they can make in a lucky call. Being honest with yourself and capitalising on how markets work are key factors in ensuring success in your investing journey.

The next 12 months promise to be an exciting time for wireless networking - particularly on the LAN side of the equation. The final approval of the US Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) wireless LAN standard, specification 802.11, the advent of 10Mbit/sec wireless LAN technology, and the expected fall in prices, suggest the wireless LAN market is just about ready to take off. If only the market knew After seven years in the making, and many believing it would never come to fruition, a standard for wireless LAN has been approved.
Belated, the IEEE 802.11 specification may not do much for groundbreaking technology. Already the bandwidth specified - 2Mbit/sec - has been outdated by 10Mbit/sec technology (which is expected to hit the market at the turn of the year).
But the specification is hoped to bring interoperability between different vendors' wireless products and increased competition in the marketplace as more manufacturers are encouraged to take up the technology. Customer confidence should increase, and best of all, prices are predicted to drop.
Attributed to the wireless LAN market's sluggish growth over the years is the price of wireless technology, and the lack of awareness at the consumer end of the market.
Ross Chiswell, channel manager for Integrity Data Systems, a WA-based distributor with a focus entirely on wireless networking, believes the absence of a standard has hindered market growth. "You've got different vendors manufacturing different radio technology which work in different ways. There was no common ground, which meant that you weren't seeing the prices going down. That is probably the sole reason why it hasn't spread greatly in the Australian market. It's probably a price perception more than anything," Chiswell said.
When the cost of a wireless LAN is up to four times as much as a wired LAN, and doesn't offer nearly as much bandwidth (although this will change with 10Mbit/sec technology) it's easy to understand why wireless LAN is still a small market.
As Tony Tilbrook, the wireless communications manager at reseller Star-tec Communications, put it: "Wireless LAN is a very, very, niche market and as yet pretty small. The customer has to have a real application to use wireless LAN at the moment because it's not cost effective yet."
The wireless market on the whole - that is LAN and point-to-point (wireless WAN) - is small in Australia. It should be noted that currently most of the wireless business falls on the point-to-point, or in some cases point-to-multipoint, side of the market (the most common scenario being to link two networks in a span of less than 10km).
In comparison to the market in the US, where Chiswell feels wireless has "taken off quite well", Australian customers are slow to recognise the flexibility and hidden savings from implementing wireless networks.
"I can only put it down to that Americans look at the technology - how it can be very flexible for them, and how it can save them a lot of time and money. That's the only reason, to date, that I think it's not taking off here - Australians are not looking at it from a business-case point of view, but are just looking at straight speed for the dollar. Australians tend to be a lot more technically driven and bandwidth hungry in the way they implement IT strategies," Chiswell said.
So what are the hidden savings? How much does it cost to rewire a building when the customer has to move someone around? Or add another user?
What if the customer only wants a temporary network solution?
"A lot of the cost justifications in wireless networking are, in fact, not straight out," said Peter Geale, national marketing manager for Anixter Australia. He said that the cheapest way isn't necessarily the most efficient solution - he looks less for "the cheapest way to do it, but more [for] what extra value am I going to get."
Anixter, for example, was involved in a sale to a school in Queensland which had relatively old buildings and didn't have cabling. The school didn't want to cable every room, so it bought 50 notebooks and put in a wireless network.
"So the students go to collect the notebook computer before the lesson, go to the classroom and they are connected onto the network anywhere in the whole school. In fact, we are seeing children at that school sitting under the trees connected to the network," Geale said.
Reaching critical mass
So until the price comes down and the technology is seen for its flexibility, wireless will remain a niche market. This may not be too far away, Chiswell suggests: "I can see that the 2Mbit/sec cards are going to come down more towards the end of the year.
"As the price of the radio product comes down, eventually wireless is going to reach a critical mass, and people are actually going to identify it as a real alternative. But until it does, it's still going to be sitting on the fringe," he said.
Limited awareness and knowledge of wireless technology in the first place presents a problem to resellers working in the market. Most resellers contacted by ARN said clients have an application for which they require a solution and, more often than not, think only of the terrestrial-based cable options that telecommunications carriers such as Telstra provide.
"Not enough people know about this technology and how you can use it. It's a little bit like people who turn to the carriers and don't realise there is an alternative in point-to-point wireless," Chiswell told ARN.
"When people need to connect two networks across the road, they might approach Telstra or Optus to put in a macro link. And that will cost them between $10,000 to $15,000 to initially install, and roughly $22,000 a year to run. They could put in a radio link for about $15,000 to $20,000 - and that's it, they don't have any ongoing costs," he said.
So it's a case of recognising the niche where wireless may fit. And when a reseller does, it can be a profitable business. Wireless margins are "slightly higher than standard industry profit margins", said Star-tec's Tilbrook, "however, the market is very small, and the moment you get one or two competitors working on a site, the margins drop very quickly. It's really no different to any part of the computing industry."
The margins are nice and profitable, but wireless resellers warn - fingers can be burnt. A lot of hard work before the installation, before the proposal is even accepted, is involved.
"Anybody can buy the product and many do. Whether or not they have the expertise to pull off a more complex installation is not always evident," said Tilbrook.
"The average sales lead time can be anywhere from three to six months. It involves the whole education process, from the solution, to how it works, through to the actual training and functionality of the system afterwards, and then the ongoing support," he said. Chiswell agrees. "Resellers that buy something and think that it just plugs together are going to get burnt."
Resellers have been caught out by not being able to deliver the promised goods. It basically comes down to not enough groundwork being carried out, Chiswell said. He says the crucial part of the installation is the investigative work beforehand - approaching the project in a professional way; carrying out a site survey to determine the coverage of radio signals; the topology of the area; where to put the antennas and so on.
Of Integrity Data System's resellers (which Chiswell estimates to be roughly 100), only about 20 are active and strong wireless resellers and are making good money out of it.
"What makes them different is doing it right the first time. They've perhaps been burnt, but now when they implement wireless technology they put it through a process - they are taking a professional approach rather than just walking in with "I'm a cowboy and I can make it work".

Wireless LAN standard approved
By IDG Staff
The seven-year wait for a wireless LAN standard has concluded with the final approval of standard 802.11 by the US IEEE Standards Activity Board.
The 802.11 specification, which was introduced on June 26, governs how 1Mbit/sec and 2Mbit/sec wireless LAN products from different vendors work together.
The standard will provide interoperability at the physical layer, between mobile clients and access points, and will encompass three transmission options - one infrared option and two radio frequency options (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum).
It also defines the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for wireless LANs, known as Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) which works "seamlessly with standard Ethernet, making wired and wireless nodes on an Enterprise LAN logically indistinguishable", according to Lucent Technologies. The compatability provided means that wireless LAN products, when integrated with a cabled LAN, are easy to install, operate and manage.
As a result of the standard, more vendors are expected to bring wireless LAN products to market, and users will be able to buy with greater confidence, knowing that standards-based equipment will interoperate.
The price per port for wireless LANs in the US, which currently exceeds that of cable-networks, is expected to drop as more manufacturers enter the market.
"The cost of components will go down, as they are built to the standard, and the volume will go up, so there will be economies of scale," said Angela Champness, director of product marketing at Lucent Technologies.
Wireless LAN manufacturers such as Proxim, Symbol Technologies and Lucent Technologies have pledged support to the standard and to achieving multivendor interoperability.
SOHO wireless LAN
Innomedia has developed a wireless LAN product, the InfoWave, priced for the SOHO/residential market at RRP $499.
The InfoWave uses digital spread spectrum technology and transfers data at 85K/sec over an open space distance of up to 250m and within a building, a distance of up to 100m.
The InfoWave package includes two InfoWave transmitter/receivers, a serial cable, InfoWave software, a power adapter and a power cable to connect to the keyboard port. The InfoWave can be used to connect two PCs together (replacing the RS-232 cable altogether) and to enable printer or modem sharing.
Multiple point-to-point networking is also available with the addition of a transmitter/receiver per PC or device.
Launched at PC 97, the InfoWave is currently only going through the retail channel but is available to resellers from Creative Pacific.

Wireless network market overview
With wireless networks set to become more pervasive, the key for resellers will be in identifying the opportunities for its implementation. The following exerpt is from a white paper from US wireless networking vendor RadioLAN titled "Wireless networking at 10Mbps". It sets out to demonstrate those scenarios for wireless tech-nology in a LAN environmentWireless LAN advantagesThere are several key areas where wireless LAN technology can add significant value to today's networking requirements.
Small- to medium-sized networks. Many LANs today are installed without the benefit of a large, on-site support staff. Wireless LAN technology greatly simplifies LAN deployment for applications such as field offices, remote sites, and growth-oriented small companies - environments where on-site technical assistance is most scarce.
Cable plant augmentation and/or alternative. The greatest immediate opportunity for wireless LANs is in the creation of new network connections that are not possible in a wired-only environment. Some of the applications and environments suited for wireless LANs include:
Structured wiring augmentation. In large enterprise networks, installing new cable is often expensive, inconvenient and time-consuming. In addition, the cost of performing network moves, additions and changes in large organisations can consume an overwhelming amount of the overall network operating budget, making network reconfigurations a costly endeavour. Wireless networking technology alleviates these problems by simply eliminating the need for structured cabling.
Tenant improvements. Some organisations leasing office space may not want to invest in building improvements such as cable installation. Wireless LANs represent a one-time investment that can be carried from site to site without incurring any installation costs.
Older buildings. Older buildings that were never designed to accommodate structured cabling are excellent candidates for wireless LANs. These buildings usually contain materials that are either hard to work with or present a health risk, discouraging owners from installing a cabling system. Wireless LANs represent an excellent alternative for such environments.
Historic buildings. Historic buildings throughout the country are often protected by local zoning ordinances that prohibit major renovations - including the installation of a network cabling plant. Wireless LANs offer the only viable option for such environments.
Flexible networking. Wireless LANs can be quickly and easily deployed, disassembled or re-configured. The ease with which network installation and modification can occur means wireless LAN technologies address the following requirements much more effectively than wired solutions.
Ad hoc workgroups. Access to information is critical for businesses to be effective in today's competitive climate. More often than not, responding to customer needs requires a business to maintain a fluid and nimble organisational structure. This requirement has created a growing need for flexible LANs that can be quickly installed, configured and placed into service. Temporary offices, dedicated project teams, disaster recovery operations, political conventions, financial audits - any application that requires temporary connectivity is a perfect candidate for wireless LAN technologies.
Ubiquitous connectivity. With the explosive growth in the number of networked computers and office layout changes in today's world, professionals are demanding an easy and fast way to "plug in" to the corporate network. Network managers are consistently finding it tedious and expensive to deal with the network cabling. Integrating wireless connectivity could reduce the cabling requirements to 1 point per 1000sq m.
Mobile/remote access. Today's highly mobile business culture has created a growing number of "nomadic" professionals that demand constant access to their company's corporate information system. Examples of such applications include:
Enhanced meetings. Pen-and-pad computers, along with PDAs and "live boards", can come together to form what some visionaries have labelled "shared space" which allows people spread throughout a building or around the world to have meetings and interact verbally, visually and electronically. At the end of the meeting, each attendee leaves with a copy of the same notes.
Shopping. Shelf management requirements, as well as interactive consumer systems located throughout a store, represent perfect wireless LAN opportunities.
Conferences. Conference proceedings, which often require temporary connectivity to the Internet, corporate database or even video conference can be easily attained through 10Mbit/sec wireless LAN technologies.
Vertical applications. Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, medical point-of-care systems, mobile point-of-sale terminals, and other applications that require a knowledge worker to roam throughout a facility can benefit from wireless LAN connectivity.

Lucent's 30km LAN
Lucent Technologies has announced the release of a high-speed outdoor antenna module and new Remote Point-To-Point diagnostic software which, used with WaveLAN and WavePOINT II, will allow for outdoor wireless LAN links of up to 30km.
The External Antenna Module (EAM) is a PCMCIA-based design and works with any device which supports a PCMCIA interface (including Lucent's new access point or "bridge", WavePOINT II).
Lucent's WavePOINT I will be phased out at the end of the year and to use the WavePOINT II (reference price $US1299), the EAM or a PCMCIA card is required.
The EAM (reference price $US899) includes a PCMCIA card, a connector cable and radio module with an external antenna connector. It is placed inside the bridge which connects to a server or network backbone.
Lucent suggests two EAM directional antennas used with the WavePOINT II bridge (which has two PCMCIA slots) and WaveLAN could "serve as a relay station to span distances or to resolve line-of-sight problems".
The Remote Point-to-Point diagnostics utility is a Windows-based interface which can be used to configure outdoor links, and assist in the placement of antenna (by displaying link and signal quality on each of the remote links). The utility also allows for remote management of the links.

Lucent patents 10Mbit/sec wireless LAN
The research and development arm of Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs, has patented a new tech- nology which is claimed to make 10Mbit/sec data-transfer on radio wireless LANs possible.
The technology, called Direct Sequence/Pulse Position Modulation (DS/PPM), allows wireless LANs to transmit data at five times the speed currently available. DS/PPM transmits at the 2.4GHz band, and uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology to resist noise and interference.
Products utilising the technology are expected to be available early next year.
The DS/PPM technology will provide interoperabililty with IEEE 802.11 compatible wireless LANs.

New Porsche The Porsche 911 a Timeless Machine for Sale in Cincinnati, OH
Fashion, trends, style. They are often short-lived. Only a few ideas stand the test of time. Because they are bigger than the Zeitgeist. The 911 is exactly that: a sports car icon that has not lost any of its fascinations in over 50 years.
The new 911 is the sum of its predecessors – and so it is both a retrospective and a vision of the future. A sports car that has become a dynamic fixed point in a world where change is the greatest constant. This makes the 911 a Timeless Machine, with a clear design language and distinctive lines which are simultaneously new and familiar.
Timeless Machine
timeless idea only holds on to its youthful vigour if it is constantly upgraded. So every new generation of the 911 also represents a new start. For an even better 911.
The clear design language of the new Porsche 911 and its striking lines are novel and yet familiar. Inside and out. The wide rear end with seamless taillight strip now unites all 911 models. Great clarity even in the interior: this is where classic sports car ergonomics meet the digital possibilities of today.
The new generation of engines is more powerful and even more efficient. The new 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) puts forward thrust on the road even more effectively. The newly designed Porsche Active Suspension Management
The silhouette of the 911 stands for timeless design. But the new Porsche 911 also proves how contemporary it is, especially from behind. The rear end is powerful, clearly and precisely designed. The rear window appears visually extended and merges, almost seamlessly, into the black tailgate grille. The new, vertical, third brake light is integrated into this. Directly beneath are the seamless light strip, between the three dimensional LED taillights, and the newly designed model logo in Light Silver. The rear fascia surrounds the newly designed tailpipes of the exhaust system. The new
Porsche 911 also appears particularly athletic due to the differently sized wheels at the front and rear.
A design that unites traditional and modern. That ensures more dynamism on the road. And causes a sensation for everyone who follows the 911.

One and a quarter million kilometres and it's still running!
At the end of 2016, we discovered a first-generation FABIA Elegance with a 1.9 TDI PD/74 kW, 240 Nm engine and manual transmission, that had covered 1,125,000 kilometres in its lifetime. That's roughly 9,500 km per month, or 320 km every day! We've bought it from a forwarding company, its single owner, where the car served as a support vehicle and service car. So you can see what state it's in.
What's more, this blue FABIA continues to cruise our roads in perfect shape thanks to the professional care of an authorised ŠKODA service centre and ŠKODA Genuine Parts. Take a look at everything it's been through and how it has been rated by journalists from different parts of Europe.
Two years in and I've done 165,000 km. Time for my first battery replacement. At 991,000 km, my original turbocharger is changed. I have consumed 220 litres of oil the whole time I've been in operation. The front of the car has been repaired five times after minor collisions.
After reaching a million kilometres, I've only got 6 dashes on the counter because there's no seventh digit. However, since the service book had been kept so faithfully, there was a clear history up to 1.25 million km. Since then, I have had a smartphone on the dashboard with an app that records kilometres...
I astonished the French media. "An old Mercedes or Volvo could barely survive such mileage. No one thought a ŠKODA FABIA could do it. And yet that is obviously what happened. What's more – the car is in unexpectedly good shape."
The Swiss treat their cars impeccably, yet I was still able to surprise them with my staying power. "They say that today's cars are designed to survive 200,000-300,000 kilometres. It all goes to show that if they are treated with reasonable and proper care, they can almost be immortal."

PC vendors' stocks lately have taking a beating this month, partly due to a massive slide of the entire technology sector but partly because of increasing prices for DRAM components.
The high-tech stock market overall has been in a slump for a month, with nearly every sector taking its lumps. But the recent increase in a basic PC component has made computer vendors' earnings especially vulnerable, a weakness that will probably cause some investors to shy away from PC vendors for at least another couple of months.
Yesterday, the Nasdaq fell by 20.05 points, or 1.58 percent, to close at 1,249.29. The index has lost 10 percent since its high of 1,388 on January 22, fueled by the sell-off of technology stocks.
But share prices of personal computer makers have lost ground over the past month by roughly 10 to 30 percent. Compaq Computer (CPQ), for example, lost 13 percent to close at 72 yesterday.
Gateway 2000 (GATE) took the biggest hit. The company has seen its price plummet almost 30 percent from a month ago. Dell Computer (DELL) saw its shares tumble 19 percent yesterday.
The decline in stock fortunes for these companies involves more than investors' recent aversion to high-tech stocks. Analysts say rising prices of DRAM have put particular pressure on PC vendor stocks.
DRAM is the principal type of memory used in almost all personal computers, and 16-megabit DRAMs currently dominate the sector. Last year, Dell, Gateway, and Compaq enjoyed record lows in DRAM and memory prices.
"They could offer their customers more computer for the money and then pocket a bit themselves, showing a good improvement in profit margin. But DRAM prices are going up, and PC prices won't decline as rapidly," said Gerald Flemming, an analyst with Hancock Institutional Equity Services in San Francisco.
Prices of 16-megabit DRAM chips are on the rise as major Korean memory manufacturers alter their pricing strategies. Contract pricing has risen between 10 and 20 percent over the last month, according to market research firm Dataquest.
An increase in DRAM prices will have a direct impact on computer companies' bottom lines, an impact that worries investors, said Argus Research analyst Wendy Abramowitz. "If we continue to see additional price increases in DRAM, it will continue to affect earnings."
Some of these PC vendors such as Compaq are also getting sideswiped by their connection to the networking companies, which are also being beat up on Wall Street.
"The assumption is that if computer networking is getting hit, then it may be an implication that the PC market may be slowing down," said Abramowitz.
This may be bad news for companies, but some investors looking for a bargain can take advantage of the reduced valuation of these stocks.
"As their stocks have fallen, they have become very undervalued, and those stocks right now are very desirable," said Abramowitz.
Not all her colleagues would agree. "Undervalued? I don't think so. They were pricey to start with and they are still overvalued a little bit, but they are more fairly valued than they were a few months ago," said Hancock's Flemming.
Other analysts say that Wall Street is just not in a mood to invest in high-tech right no. "There is a herd mentality on Wall Street that the bear market has set in," said Smith Barney analyst Megan Robertson. "This is not a huge slowdown, just some dislocations."
She thinks that sales will pick up in the second half of the year and will lead to a gain in the PC makers' stocks.
"Stocks don't go down as fast as these did and then turn around. There are still choppy waters ahead for the next couple of months," said Flemming. Good earnings in the March quarter may put an end to the slump, he said.

The best beach houses in the World
"We might just have the best beach houses in the world" was the headline introducing the Roozen Residence in May's Australian Traveller magazine.
The magazine's May issue featured Australia's diverse experiences coining Margaret River's Roozen Residence as one of the best beach houses in the world.
Here's what they had to say:
"As a country of coast huggers, Australia knows a thing or two about great beach houses. Whether it's a rustic shack on the water's edge at Pittwater in Sydney or one of our perennial favourites, the slick and sexy Roozen Residence in Margaret River – the five star property of local surfer and artist Ron Roozen dishes up 180 ocean views from every room."
Located in the coastal hamlet of Prevelly (just 8 minutes for the town of Margaret River), the Roozen Residence is ideally situated in the middle of the expansive Margaret River wine region. Think the best of both worlds, a quintessential beach holiday with rolling vineyards and exceptional restaurants on your doorstep.
Discover Margaret River. Whether it's a family holiday, a romantic escape or a long overdue catch up with friends, we'd love to welcome you at the Roozen Residence, Margaret River.

Last Sunday's shambolic first half at Hampden Park, where we stood off a fast paced Celtic team and backed off deplorably, to 'admire' them play through us was the worst 45 minutes I have ever witnessed in a very one-sided match. Now the attention turns to Saturday's final instalment of the Old Firm double header.
What is the best Rangers team Pedro Caixinha can select to try and get a result in the league?
Should we play a more defensive line-up at the start of the game? Picking a harder to beat X1?
Depending on what happens in the first 60 minutes, Ped could change the tactics for the last 30 minutes to a more attacking style. Especially, if we are behind in the match with 20 or so minutes to go and having to chase the game for a draw or all 3 points.
Let me explain what Walter Smith used to do against Celtic and he had more successes than any of the modern managers. He played very tightly by trying to have as many people in his side who could win the ball and then pass it.
If playing a flexible 3 – 4 – 2 – 1 formation, this is the team I would pick.
Bates Hill Wilson
Tavernier Holt Toral McKay
Hyndman Miller
Subs: Alnwick, Garner, Windass, Waghorn, Hodson, Beerman, O'Halloran
It is a risky approach, only going effectively with 3 at the back, but is it worth that?
Young David Bates can play at right back or centre back and Tavernier would play ahead of him, so they can both deal with Sinclair who is fast and a real handful if he is on form. I think we need Tavernier in the team but only as the right wing back, where he has the freedom to drive forward at every opportunity to help create real danger in the heart of the Celtic defence which is also their weakness. Also for his talent at pin-pointing free kicks around the box.
Roberts ran riot against young Beerman last Sunday and I would hope that on form Wilson and speedy McKay could take care of him at Ibrox this week.
The rest of my picks don't need explaining.

Halifax Regional Municipality v. Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, et al.
Halifax Regional Municipality, a body corporate duly incorporated pursuant to the laws of Nova Scotia v. Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission, et al. (October 19, 2011)
Case #33651
The Supreme Court of Canada heard arguments regarding supplementary municipal funding for different school boards.
Lucien Comeau filed complaints in 2003 and 2004 with the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission about the lack of supplementary funding for French-language schools. Comeau is of Acadian descent and his children attended French-language schools.
The Halifax Regional Municipality argues that there is no need for a human rights inquiry because the funding policy has changed. Legislation was amended in 2006 so that French and English schools in the Halifax Regional Municipality both receive the same funding benefits.
