Atricle Dump - America Loses Italy's Elections
Negotiation is a process of trying to arrive at a mutually agreeable conclusion about something. It could be a sales situation; it could be a behavioral contract; it could be a cease fire. Negotiation is basically an agreement. What makes negotiation’s time consuming is that each party involved often has numerous needs that require some kind of guarantee of satisfaction. Until those needs are at least addressed in some way, there will be objections.Objections are critically important in successful negotiations and taking into account all objections is ecological. That is, it takes into account varying components of the system. Negotiations often prove a failure after the fact because one or more of the parties does not express their obj
The world will possibly remember Silvio Berlusconi as one of the most outspoken – albeit apolitical – national leaders ever, although his picturesque remarks have not always won him the praise, sympathy and affection of fellow leaders. Such is the case when he called Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe an “Orangutan” for his controversial polices of redistributing white-owned landholdings to poor Zimbabweans, or King Fahd of
Why Would I Need to Hire a Security Professional? The FBI has estimated that industrial espionage by foreign spies costs US companies $200 billion per year. Companies also face theft from current and former employees, trading partners, and the potential threat from terrorist cyber-attackers. The Gartner Group estimates that fully 70% of all thefts that cause loss to businesses are from insiders. How To Judge A Candidate The most important qualification for any security professional to have is experience. Five or more years of experience directly related to security is enough to
There are in Italy some 22 political parties and affiliations of all colors, shapes and forms reflecting all lines of philosophical thinking and social doctrines ever pipe-dreamed by humans since the time Homo Erectus decided to step out of the African plains and conquer the planet. Italy is the only one country in the world where Fascists sit side by side with Maoists in the same parliament. Heck, you can still find Trotskyists in Italy even today – after they have been banned from Russia since the 1930’s.
To make matters somewhat more manageable, in the mid-1990’s it was decided to form five mainstream political ‘coalitions’, each representing the best interests of the myriad political parties that each coalition is comprised of. The coalitions are: Forza Italia (literally ‘Go Italy’), Alleanza Nazionale (National Alliance), Lega Del Nord (Northern League), L’ Unione Democratica Cristiana Di Centro (Union of Christian Democrats of the Center) and L’ Unione Di Centro Sinistra (Center-Left Union).
To make matters even more manageable (whoever said Italians are difficult?), so that everyone can fully understand what is going on in Italian politics, two mainstream political ‘currents’ comprising of the above-noted five mainstream political ‘coalitions’ were formed: La Casa Della Liberta’ (literally ‘The House of Freedom’) representing Go Italy, National Alliance and Northern League, and L’Unione (’The Union’) covering the bloc of the Union of Christian Democrats of the Center and the Center-Left Union.
Let’s face it – it couldn’t possibly get more transparent and crystal clear than this!
Since 2000, The House of Freedom has been headed by Silvio Berlusconi, a graduate summa cum laude in Business Advertising from Milan State University and the richest man in Italy who, with cash and assets worth some USD $12.5 billions (with a “b” as in ... “Berlusconi”), is the 23rd richest man on the planet. On the other side, The Union has been represented by Romano Prodi, a graduate summa cum laude from The London School Of Economics, a former Visiting Professor at Harvard, a Fellow of The Stanford Research Institute, and the former President Of The European Commission.
To say that Prodi, by virtue of his background as an Economist, has always eyed Berlusconi’s economic theory that “lowering taxes and raising pensions is great for the country” with a great deal of skepticism, is probably an understatement per se. But this must have turned into outright despair when Italians voted The House of Freedom into power in the 2001 elections, and Berlusconi became President Of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister). And the despair must have turned into outright horror when Italy posted in 2005, four years into Berlusconi’s tenure, a GDP of 0 percent for 2004 (that's 'zero' ... as in 1 minus 1) - a record in the West. Well, it could have been worse.
To be sure, a miracle has happened during Berlusconi’s residence in Rome. In 2004 Berlusconi, a bald man, turned up on TV looking like Elton John, and prompting the Romans to flock and head straight for St. Peter’s Square chanting Miracolo, Miracolo (“Miracle, Miracle”). But for the Americans, Berlusconi’s exuberance will more likely be remembered when, all the way back in 2002 during his first official trip to Washington as Italy’s Prime Minister (Berlusconi owns several real estate holdings in the U.S.), Berlusconi stepped out of the airplane and went straight to greet an incredulous President Bush with a vigorous handshake, literally screaming in his ears Ciao, Giorgio! (“Hi, George”). The twosome must have hit it off, because they have been great pals ever since.

I'm sure that everybody reading this knows that that the day to file your personal income tax returns is April 15, right?Yes, that's common knowledge.But what happens if April 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday? Then what?Then it's the next business day, which is often April 16.But what if Sunday is April 15 . . .and Monday the 16th is a state holiday for a few states but not for most? Then what?The IRS issued a ruling on November 20, 2006, saying that six states and Washington D.C, get an extra day to file their 2006 personal income tax returns. That day is Tuesday, April 17, 2007, since April 15 is a Sunday, and April 16 is a state holiday for those states. They're celebrating Patriot's

If you are interested in getting free stuff online or anywhere else for that matter you have probably seen offers for free iPods. Immediately following the announcement of Apple Inc. that were going to be producing the iPhone, websites began offering similar promotions for free iPhones to people once they were on sale. The problem with both of these offers is that they are essentially scams.Websites claiming to offer you a free iPhone usually require you just enter your e-mail address or zip code to see if you qualify. The thing is everyone qualifies, assuming they meet certain minimal requirements. Then you have to complete some combination of offers or refer a certain number of friends to get enough points to redeem your iPhone or oth

Advertising using flyers is a cost effective way of delivering your product or services to your potential customers. Ad flyers are usually handed out on the street, near LRT or MRT stations, wherever there are lots of human traffic.Almost all of us have been handed an ad flyer at some point specially at malls. Its not uncommon for someone to accumulate handfuls of ad flyers just by strolling the mall. Most flyers being distributed in malls are about various food promos and agents selling real estate.For a real estate agent, advertising in newspapers on a daily basis is expensive, most agents prefer using ad flyers because they are direct, often they can talk to the people they are giving the flyer to and they will be able to choo
The world will possibly remember Silvio Berlusconi as one of the most outspoken – albeit apolitical – national leaders ever, although his picturesque remarks have not always won him the praise, sympathy and affection of fellow leaders. Such is the case when he called Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe an “Orangutan” for his controversial polices of redistributing white-owned landholdings to poor Zimbabweans, or King Fahd of Saudi Arabia Il Becchino (”The Gravedigger”) for his forceful opposition to Israel. And member countries of the European Union will remember Berlusconi for his 2003 address in Bruxelles, when he countered German criticism and objections to Italy’s chronically unbalanced budget by calling the German delegation “a bunch of Nazis”, thus prompting a great deal of chuckling on the part of the French (another country with a perennially unbalanced budget).
On the accounts of religion and philosophy, it cannot be said that Berlusconi has scored big time either. A great admirer of Gandhi, he stated that “Gandhi was a better person than many Popes”, thus raising a sequel of criticism from the Holy See. The criticism mounted last year, when Berlusconi remarked at the funeral of John Paul II that he (the Pope) had been “one of the few great Popes”. And just very recently, in the heat of this past elections, he has claimed that “Chinese communists eat babies for dinner”, generating an outcry on the part of Beijing, or when Berlusconi compared himself to Jesus Christ.
Yet, it is possibly because of his flamboyant nature and irreverent style that Silvio Berlusconi will be missed by many. Notwithstanding his USD $12.5 billions, Berlusconi was, is and always will be a man of the people, and will be remembered as such. No matter that his economic policies only made him richer, and nobody else. It is the dream that counts – and Silvio Berlusconi has been the only man since the institution of the Republic that has made Italians dream for five consecutive years. Nobody else has lasted for so long – and in Italian politics that’s a real record.
