Growing frustrations in the workplace are challenging employees to rethink their careers outside the corporate world. Since it is the employee that touches the business and has a strong pulse on the changing needs of the marketplace, many (regardless of hierarchy or rank) believe that they can close opportunity gaps that their employers are ignoring. Or, that they can create new areas of marketplace demand that their companies are too big to invest in, let alone consider.
While employees are becoming more inspired and restless to test their entrepreneurial spirit, most are unprepared for the uncertainty that goes with having to pay their own salaries, invest in their own ideas – and the challenges associated with establishing enough distinction in their value proposition to create marketplace demand.
It's easy to be the critic about the opportunity gaps your employers are ignoring or to be overly optimistic about creating marketplace demand previously unseen – thinking that your expertise gives you the ability to capitalize on both scenarios. The true test of your ability to transition from the corporate world to entrepreneurship is whether or not you have the patience, mental toughness and vulnerability to face the reality. After all, you're taking a leap of faith without the safety net of organizational infrastructure, capital, credential, brand, capabilities, intellectual capital, know-how, resources, etc.
Having made this transition from the corporate world to entrepreneurship nearly 20 years ago, I have lived and know first-hand the realities of what is required to find success and eventual significance. One thing is certain: there is no template for the opportunities – and the adversity – you will be faced with – and how you will react to each new experience. Entrepreneurship is hard, but not impossible. It takes a lot of will, perseverance and belief in yourself. In the end, you must satisfy a widening marketplace gap to create demand while at the same time be likeable, intriguing and unique enough for a prospective client or investor to listen to you. You must learn how to earn serendipity throughout the journey – and be courageous and vulnerable enough to test your ideas and ideals. Over time, this will strengthen your wisdom, broaden your sphere of influence, and help you apply strategic focus on the opportunities of greatest potential and then share your harvest of success with others. It is at this point that you can begin to re-sow a perpetual harvest of renewed and fresh ideas. They will begin to sustain and cultivate themselves with greater impact and influence upon the foundation of significance that you have created with your professional network and clients.
Do the math before taking the leap of faith into the world of entrepreneurship – the liquidity of not just cash, but also in resources and people. I've learned the hard way that the amount of money and resources and the number of people you will need in your entrepreneurial journey are much more than you might imagine.
After you complete your resource management plan – double it. Avoid from being blindsided. Anticipate the unexpected. Be in survival mode and prepare for crisis management – before circumstances force your hand. The first six months can be unpredictable so when reality strikes, be prepared.
Staying in the game is half the battle. Start fighting the fight before you need to fight. This is the mindset you must have to endure the test of time. Dream big, enjoy the journey – and become wiser in the process.
Your entrepreneurial venture may solve for the right things, but if prospective clients don't know that your product or service exists then it's impossible to generate demand. Entrepreneurship can become mentally taxing if you don't have the pure will and perseverance to keep going to close the next sale – over and over again.
Before I left the corporate world, I hired a psychologist out of Brown University who specializes in working with executives who wish to make the transition to entrepreneurship. This was one of the smartest decisions I ever made – seeking council from an expert who could prepare me for the impact entrepreneurship would have not only on me personally and mentally – but also on my family, who would be accompanying me on my journey.
Entrepreneurship is a journey of mental toughness. Without it, you can't effectively think, act and innovate. You can't motivate others or inspire the best in them. Until you develop the prerequisite mental toughness, you're not ready for entrepreneurship. As I have learned through experience, mental toughness begins when you can keep your emotions separate and stay focused on what matters most.
At first, the periods of silence can be painful and put your mental toughness to the test. Entrepreneurship requires you to practice continuous patience and learn how to trust yourself through the process of generating sales and overcoming objections. This is why you must plant as many seeds of opportunity as possible. Never rely on just two or three clients. Entrepreneurship is truly a numbers game of probability in which you must increase the odds of earning serendipity.
When your patience is running thin, get out from behind your computer and get some fresh air. Take a long drive and reflect. It's important not to let the journey overwhelm you. Give yourself credit for the work you have accomplished and the momentum you are creating. If you give into the pressures of entrepreneurship, you'll begin to make bad decisions and find it difficult to get out of the rut.
Those who transition from the corporate world to entrepreneurship often believe that the brands they have worked for in the past are their tickets to success. That may have been true 20 years ago, but in today's marketplace, your clients and customers want innovative, cost-cutting solutions that can help their businesses grow and evolve. Beyond your resume, they want to know that you have a proven product or service where ROI can be measured.
Your corporate brands are helpful, but they don't carry as much weight as you might think. Why not? Because you don't bring the resources, clout and money of those brands with you. In fact, be careful of promoting those brands too much. They may hurt you more than help you, especially if they become your calling card. You never know if a client had a bad experience with a particular brand. In the end, the only brand they really care about is YOUR BRAND and your ability to deliver upon the value proposition and potential benefits you proposed to them.
Throw your ego out the door and let yourself be vulnerable. When you transition from the corporate world to entrepreneurship – you will truly begin to learn what you don't know. Especially if you are on your own or part of a small group of people, if you don't have both the knowledge and wisdom to compete, you will soon be out of business.
Assemble an active advisory board that you can lean on. These should be people that know you and that you trust – enough to let them challenge your thinking, ideas and intentions. Becoming an entrepreneur is a humbling experience. You no longer have the corporate brand and infrastructure to support your knowledge gaps and vulnerabilities. But you can align yourself with the right people that can make you smarter, wiser and much more knowledgeable about your overall business and how to (over) deliver on it every day.
This is the one you hear about most often – yet it is the most difficult. Belief is a big word with a lot of depth and determination behind it. Belief in one's self is the ability to trust yourself against all odds. It's knowing that you have one chance to make a great first impression. It's about the ability to bounce back when you are losing your confidence.
Belief is extremely powerful and a word that you must own and define for yourself. Yes, it is important that those around you believe in you. But if you don't believe in yourself, if you haven't been tested through failure enough and haven't been personally scrutinized or learned to risk your own money, then entrepreneurship is not right for you – yet. All of these things will happen at some point during the journey. But the power of belief is truly realized once you have experienced hardship and come out the other side with little or no damage.
Belief in yourself gives you hope and the self-confidence to keep moving forward and closer to earning serendipity. It broadens your observations and gives you the circular vision to see around, beneath and beyond the obvious; it invigorates your passionate pursuits of endless possibilities; and it will remind you to embrace the entrepreneurial attitude through the spirit of survival, renewal and reinvention.
As the marketplace continues to remind us that it is becoming less about the business defining the individual and much more about the individual defining the business, the transition from the corporate world to entrepreneurship can be an extremely private and insulated journey. Instead of comparing yourself to others and questioning your decisions based on other's opinions, take stock of these six considerations and your own readiness for entrepreneurship. No one knows your vision, your passionate pursuits and what you are trying to solve for better than you do. It's easy to be the critic, but more productive to be your own critic and to surround yourself with the right people. Create an environment to keep your entrepreneurial attitude, beliefs and ideas alive and active for the betterment of the clients and customers you are serving.


Description: Trenabolone Acetate (Trenabolic British Dragon) is a man-made medicine, similar to the naturally occuring testosterone. Trenabolone Acetate is used to promote weight gain following extensive surgery, chronic infection, or severe trauma, and in other cases that result in inadequate weight gain or maintenance. Trenabolone Acetate is also used to decrease muscle loss caused by treatment with corticosteroids and to reduce bone pain associated with osteoporosis.
a fast gain in solid, high-quality muscle mass accompanied by a considerable strength increase in the basic exercises.
Another characteristic is that Trenabolic, unlike most highly-androgenic medicines, does not aromatize. Those who use Trenabolic will also notice that there is no water retention in the tissue. When a low fat content has been achieved by a low-calorie diet, Trenabolic gives a dramatic increase in muscle hardness. In combination with a protein-rich diet it becomes especially effective in this phase since Trenabolic speeds up the metabolism and accelerates the burning of fat.

Przemysł I built his ducal residence in the second half of the 13th century atop a hill that rises some metres above the level of the Old Market square. His son, Przemysł II, the later king of Poland, extended the castle with the intention of converting it into a royal seat. Despite the king's tragic death in 1296, the construction was not interrupted and the castle was most certainly completed in the reign of Kazimierz the Great. It was the largest secular edifice in the country. Apart from the residential tower it consisted of a 63m long, 17.5m wide and at least 9m high building and a defensive tower.
Throughout the ages the castle suffered damage on a number of occasions and was extensively rebuilt. The Gothic edifice was destroyed in a fire in 1536. Governor Andrzej Górka rebuilt in the Renaissance style but the Deluge and the Great Northern War again wrought destruction to the city. Though partly restored in 1721, the castle slowly fell into disrepair. In 1783 Kazimierz Raczyński, the last governor of Wielkopolska, had a building erected atop Przemysł Hill that housed the archives. It was designed by Antoni Höhne who utilised parts of old castle foundation and south walls. Some annexes were added to the building at a later date. After the second partition of Poland it housed the office of Prussian notaries, the appellate court and the State Archives (since 1885). The building structure on Przemysł Hill was heavily destroyed in 1945. During the restoration work carried out in the years 1959-64, only Raczyński's edifice regained its former splendour.
Since the times of Władysław the Elbow-high, the castle, being the seat of Wielkopolskan governors, also functioned as the residence of Polish kings and saw visits by many a crowned head, among others Kazimierz the Great, Władysław Jagiełło and Kazimierz IV Jagiellon. John I Albert spent over a year in the castle where he accepted the homage of Hans von Tieffen, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. Some foreign sovereigns also visited the castle, among others John I of Bohemia and Eric I, king of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Several royal weddings were held here as well: Kazimierz the Great married Adelheid of Hesse in 1341, his daughter Elżbieta wedded Bogusław V, duke of Szczecin, in 1343 and Maria, Władysław Jagiełło's niece, married Bogusław X, duke of Słupsk, in 1433. In 1513 during Sigismund the Old's stay in the castle, his wife Barbara Zapolya gave birth to Jadwiga.
Przecław Słota, the burgrave of the castle in the years 1398-1400, is the author of the poem Wiersz o chlebowym stole (also known under the name Wiersz o zachowaniu się przy stole ), the oldest secular poem written in the Polish language.
The only remains of the castle on Przemysł Hill is the eighteenth-century building covered with a mansard roof. In the cellars and on the ground floor there are rooms surmounted by medieval barrel vaults with lunettes. The north-west outer wall features a piece of the city wall from the late thirteenth century (that can be seen from Wielkopolski Square). Mounted next to the entrance are three plaques: commemorating the restoration of the building by Kazimierz Raczyński (1783), the seven-hundredth anniversary of the coronation of Przemysł II (1996) and the five-hundredth anniversary of the homage paid by the grand master of the Teutonic Order (1993).
Presently the buildings house the Museum of Applied Arts but they bear no resemblance to the royal residence that once stood here. There are plans to reconstruct the castle. The Commission for the Restoration of the Royal Castle in Poznań was established in 2002 and already a year later it staged an architecture competition. An honourable mention went to Witold Milewski and his team. Their design makes reference to sixteenth-century sources and has been discussed with experts on the history of Poznań. The construction of the castle will be co-financed by the Commission, the Local Government Office and the City Council.
Emperors Castle
The Poznań residence of the German Kaiser William II was designed by Franz Schwechten and erected in the years 1905-1910. It was the last imperial edifice built in Europe, modelled on mediaeval castles and meant to be the symbol of German domination of Wielkopolska. There is an interesting legend linked to the construction of the castle. Commenced in 1905, it attracted crowds of onlookers. The German president of the city took notice of a farmer from Górczyn who visited the building site every day and urged the workers to hard work. Amazed by seeing a Pole who endorsed the building of a German castle, he asked him to state his reasons. The farmer answered: "the prediction says that when the imperial castle is erected, Poland will be resurrected". Indeed, soon World War I broke out and Poland regained independence.
The castle was meant as the focal point of the castle quarter which replaced old polygonal fortifications. Professor Joseph Stübben, an eminent German architect, marked out a broad street that ran around the centre of the city (now Niepodległości Avenue and Królowej Jadwigi Street). Following the examples of Vienna and Kraków, the street with the adjoining parks and lawns was to function as a promenade. The former Tietzen Stronghold located between the Royal Gate and the Berlin Gate was demolished and changed into a large public park (now Mickiewicz Park) surrounded by stately edifices. Apart from the imperial castle, the so-called imperial forum consisted of the Neo-Renaissance Royal Academy (now Collegium Minus, part of the University) and the Neoclassical Municipal Theatre (now the Wielki Theatre).
Emperor William II visited Poznań three times only. When Poland regained independence after WWI, the castle was given to the Poznań University and it was used by presidents of the Second Republic during their visits to Poznań. Albert Speer rebuilt the castle during WWII for Hitler's residence and there are still some traces left of Speer's design: a room being a copy of Fuehrer's Berlin office, the balcony on the tower and the gala entrance from Św. Marcin Street. Damaged in 1945, the castle was planned to be pulled down. During the reconstruction several elements of the decoration were not restored and the tower was lowered. Today, the castle is being extensively renovated. The beautifully restored garden in the back features a monument to the victims of the Katyń massacre. Adjoining it is the Rose Courtyard with the fountain of lions modelled on the famous fountain in Grenada in Spain. The castle courtyards are used for cultural events during summer.
Today the castle houses the "Zamek" Culture Centre, the Animation Theatre and the Museum of the Poznań June 1956.
The town hall in Poznań is undoubtedly the most magnificent Renaissance building in Wielkopolska and one of the finest in Poland. The earliest mention of it is from 1310 but it must have been built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries judging by the keystone in the cellar decorated with the coat of arms of the Czech dynasty of the Premyslids (Weneclaus II Premyslid was King of Poland in the years 1300-06). The Gothic town hall was a small one-storey building without a tower that was not added until the early sixteenth century. In the mid-sixteenth century a fire swept through the city and the town hall was partly destroyed. Giovanni Battista Quadro, an Italian architect from Lugano, enlarged the town hall westwards in order to strengthen the tower which was on the verge of collapsing. He also added the three-storey loggia and gave the edifice a Renaissance appearance. Bas-reliefs placed above the arches of the arcades on the first floor represent the virtues desired from councillors: Patience and Prudence, Love and Justice, Faith and Hope and Courage and Moderation. The decoration of the façade also features medallions with ancient figures (above the arcades of the loggia on the first floor) and paintings showing rulers of the Jagiellon dynasty (above the second floor), from the left: Jadwiga, Władysław Jagiełło, Władysław III of Varna, Kazimierz IV Jagiellon, John I Albert, Aleksander, Sigismund the Old and Sigismund Augustus. Portraits of Piast rulers are placed on both sides: Mieszko I, Bolesław the Brave, Przemysł I, Przemysł II, Władysław the Elbow-high and Kazimierz the Great.
The decoration of the remaining façades is by far less ornate. The north façade features an inscription starting with the words: Hoc opus artificis Joannis Baptistae Itali... ("This is the work by Giovanni Battista, the Italian...") and a pair of compasses and a square, the symbols of architects. Worthy of notice are the buttresses supporting the tower on the north and the attic that from the east resembles a crenellated wall with three pinnacles. The central pinnacle features a clock above which two tin goats appear every day at noon and horn one another. The first clock mechanism was installed in 1551. Right under it is a cartouche with letters S (tanisław) A (ugust) R (ex) - the initials of King Stanisław August Poniatowski. The fragment of the tower made from bricks from the early sixteenth century bears witness to the Gothic provenience of the town hall, whereas the cupola surmounted by the Polish eagle (1.8-metre high, 2-metre wingspread) is from the late eighteenth century.
The early Gothic cellars with rib vaults are the oldest part of the edifice. The Grand Vestibule on the first floor (also called the Renaissance Room) ranks among the most beautiful interiors in Poland. The vault of the vestibule supported by two pillars is decorated with depictions of animals, mythological and biblical characters, the Sun, the Moon and planets. The coffers feature the crest of Poznań and the coat of arms of Poland, Lithuania and Polish royal families. The adjoining Royal Room boasts a Renaissance fireplace embellished with the crest of the city. The Courtroom is surmounted by a Renaissance vault from the mid-sixteenth century and features a statue of the last Polish king, Stanisław August Poniatowski (the Commission of Good Order established in his reign contributed to the cleaning of the city shattered by natural disasters and wars that raged in the 17th and 18th centuries; the town hall was also refurbished thanks to its efforts).
The town hall houses now the Museum of the History of the City of Poznań.
Górka Palace
The municipal residence of great splendour that belonged to a prominent Wielkopolskan family was erected in the years 1544-48 and it replaced old Gothic burgher houses. Built for Andrzej Górka of the Łodzia coat of arms, the governor of Wielkopolska, the palace of rectangular plan consisted of two buildings connected through a gate wing in Klasztorna Street.
The Górkas, starting from the above-mentioned Andrzej, were sympathetic towards the Reformation and so the palace became the centre of Lutheranism. When Stanisław, the last male descendant of the family, died in 1592, the palace was inherited by the Czarnkowskis. Four years later it became the property of the city which sold it to the Benedictine sisters from Chełmno. After the suppression of the order in 1833 the palace housed a grammar school for girls and after 1880 was used as a tenement. It has been rebuilt several times but the walls of the cellars and the ground floor remain virtually intact. Damaged in a fire during World War II, the palace was painstakingly rebuilt after the war and presently houses the Archaeology Museum.
The Renaissance sandstone portal (in Klasztorna Street) is most probably a work by an Italian artist. The frame of pilasters supporting the lintel features an arcade with a semicircular arch. Rich ornamentation includes garlands of laurel leaves, cornucopias, masks, flower motifs, grotesques and the engraved date of 1548. The portal opens onto the inner yard with a tree-wing arcaded gallery whose pillars, presumably a work by Silesian stonemasons, have survived to the present day. The yard, which has been recently covered with a glass roof, features a 3.2 metre-high Egyptian obelisk from around 1200 BC. The Archaeology Museum is one of the oldest of its kind in Poland; it continues the tradition of the Museum of Polish and Slavic Antiquities established in 1857.
Działyński Palace
The palace was erected for the Great Lithuanian Marshall Władysław Gurowski and replaced two medieval houses located along the west side of the old market square. Antoni Höhne rebuilt it in the years 1785-87 in the mixture of Neoclassical and Baroque styles (it is one of the first Neoclassical buildings in Wielkopolska). With a garden laid out in the back it was a palace of great splendour. In the years 1808-1872 the palace belonged to the Działyńskis, a prominent Wielkopolskan family whose main residence was in Kórnik. During the subsequent partitions of Poland the palace was an important centre of Polish national life where public lecturers by Polish scholars were held, economic exhibits were organized and cultural arrangements were organized. In 1924 the palace became part of the Zakłady Kórnickie foundation established by Władysław Zamoyski. Destroyed in a fire in 1945, it was rebuilt in the years 1953-57 to a design by Aleksander Holas.
Two gates lead to the building that were used by horse carriages. The façade of the two-storey building is surmounted by a tympanum with Ogończyk, the coat of arms of the Działyński family, and an attic decorated with bas-reliefs depicting ancient scenes: a sacrificial procession (two armed soldiers leading a bull and two prisoners) and a triumphal parade of soldiers and a chariot. Above the attic there is a panoply and a sculpture of a pelican - the symbol of devotion and sacrifice.
The Red Room, the most beautiful room in the palace, is on the first floor; the balcony running along the entire façade can be accessed from the room. The room owes its name to the colour of the walls. It features two pairs of stucco statues depicting Władysław the Elbow-high with Kazimierz the Great and Władysław Jagiełło with his brother Witold. Also today it is used for concerts and important social events.
The building is owned by the Polish Academy of Sciences and it also houses a branch of the Kórnik Library.
Archbishop Palace
The earliest mention of the residence of Poznań archbishops is from 1404 though a bishop's palace must have existed here already when the cathedral was built. The palace suffered extensive damage during wars and floods and was rebuilt several times (among others, by Giovanni Battista Quadro in the 16th century and Pompeo Ferrari in the 18th century). The present building is a three-wing edifice in a mixture of styles. The main west wing of the palace owes its Neoclassical appearance to extensive reconstruction undertaken by Juliusz Salkowski in the years 1852-1854 and modified by Karl Heinrich Schinkel. The entrance into the building leads through a balcony portico with Ionic columns. The two marble figures of St. Peter and St. Paul were sculpted by Oskar Sosnowski; until 1945 they adorned the main altar of the cathedral. The north wing was erected on the remains of walls from the 15th and 16th centuries; it features a Neoclassical gate with a large two-column portico. The late-Baroque statue of St. John Nepomuk from around 1730, standing in front of the palace, was transferred from a nearby village of Kobylepole. Located on the west side of the square is the building of the Metropolitan Curia, erected in 1834 to a design by a builder named Traeger, and partly rebuilt in 1870 and around 1920 to a design by Marian Andrzejewski. Parallel to it but farther to the west is the building of the cathedral rectory in a mixture of the Baroque and Neoclassical styles erected on old foundation in 1792 and rebuilt in 1859, most probably by Karl Heinrich Schinkel. Two stone plaques from 1598 and 1715 mounted to the north wall bear inscriptions pertaining to the history of the rectory. The bust in the tympanum of the façade presumably depicts Jan Kochanowski who held the post of a titular curate of the Poznań Chapter in the years 1564-74.
The statue of Pope John Paul II (designed by Krystyna Fałdyga-Solska, 2000) stands in the square. The spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Church visited Poznań twice, in 1983 and 1997.
Standing next to it is an interesting building called the Psalm-Singers' House. In old times twelve priests sang the Book of Psalms in the cathedral throughout the entire twenty four hours of the day. Bishop Jan Lubrański built this house for them. Worthy of notice are ogee-arched blind windows in the north gable of the edifice.
The island of Ostrów Tumski also features 9 nine canonries and 3 vicarages where canons used to live. The oldest is the canonry Fundi Godziemba built in the early sixteenth century whose name is derived from the coat of arms of the Lubrański family. The vicarage in 7 Posadzego Street from the 18th century features an interesting Polish-style shingled roof.
The oldest mention of the wooden building of the municipal guard is from the early eighteenth century. The present Neoclassical edifice was built in the years 1783-1787 to a design by Jan Chrystian Kamsetzer on the initiative of Kazimierz Raczyński, the governor of Wielkopolska and the chairman of the Poznań Commission of Good Order. It is a rather small building with a four-column recess on the front and sandstone sculptures on the attic. The composition above the entrance depicts two female figures blowing bugles that flank the coat of arms of Poland. The cartouche on the left features the Nałęcz coat of arms of the Raczyński family and there is the crest of the city of Poznań on the right. Mounted above the entrance is a plaque with the Latin foundation engraving and the date 1787.
The guardhouse now features the Museum of the Wielkopolska Uprising 1918-1919 (branch of the Wielkopolska Museum of Independence Struggles).
Merchant houses
Located south of the town hall, the houses were once used for trade purposes. In the Middle Ages makeshift wooden stalls were erected there where herring, salt, binders, torches, candles and other commodities were sold. In the 16th century the stalls were replaced with narrow houses with Renaissance arcades supported by sandstone columns. The houses featured stalls on the ground floor and apartments on the upper floors. House no. 17 boasts the coat of arms of the merchant guild consisting of a herring and three palm trees and House no. 24 has the owner's emblem on the capital of the column. The work must have been finished around 1535 judging from the date carved on the capital of the column of House no. 11. The edifice adjoining the merchant houses in the south was built in 1538 and is called the Municipal Chancellery or the House of Scribes. Until the 18th century it was the residence of municipal scribes and presently it houses the Society for the Friends of Poznań founded by Mayor Cyryl Ratajski. The arcades are a popular spot where local artists sell their cityscapes. Kurzanoga [Chicken Leg] Street behind the merchant houses presumably owes its name to a house that once stood there.
Former Jesuit College
The Jesuits came to Poznań in the 16th century and built a monastery, a church and a school (college) whose first rector was Reverend Jakub Wujek - the author of the first Polish translation of the Bible. The college opened in 1573 and sustained high standards of education but never achieved status of the university due to strong opposition from the Cracovian Academy. The Jesuits had a large library, a private publishing house (since 1677) and a school theatre. The order was suppressed in 1773 but the school did not cease to exist; it continued as Wielkopolska Academy since 1780 and as Poznań Department School (until 1793). The building, which now houses the City Council, served different purposes. In autumn 1805 the Russian tsar Alexander I had a stopover here and a year later the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte stayed in the college for almost three weeks. In the years 1815-1830 it was the residence of Count Antoni Radziwiłł, governor of the Grand Duchy of Poznań (most probably Frederic Chopin performed for him in 1828). Today, concerts are held in the White Room which is adorned with Frederic Chopin's bust (a work by Marcin Rożek).
The Society of Jesus started its educational activities in a former hospital building but it soon proved too small. The construction of a new school edifice was commenced in 1701 by an Italian architect Giovanni Catenazzi but the project was put on ice for the duration of the Great Northern War. The work was resumed in 1719 by a Jesuit builder Jan Zelner and a designer Franciszek Koźmiński. The main wing of the building is in the south, the side wings flank a trapezoid yard that in the years 1748-1752 was closed from the north by a one-storey building with a gate surmounted by a tower. In the nineteenth century two low towers with stairwells were built and a risalit containing monumental stairs leading onto the first floor was added. The building facing Za Bramką Street was built in the early twentieth century. The monumental four-storey edifice is covered with a pitched roof and features uniform Baroque and late-Baroque façade decorations. It was extensively refurbished both on the outside and inside in the years 1995-1998.
On the opposite side of the Gołębia Street lies the Baroque building of the former Jesuit College erected in the mid-eighteenth century that now houses the State Ballet School. The arcaded yard is used for summer concerts and performances. Two commemorative plaques marked the place where the first professional theatre in Poznań was opened by Wojciech Bogusławski (1783) and where the oldest local school, St. Mary Magdalene Grammar School, was established (the plaques were taken down during recent restoration work).
Raczyński Library
The Neoclassical edifice of the library was built in the years 1822-1829, most probably to a design by French architects Charles Perciere and Pierre- François Leonard Fontain. The front façade is reminiscent of the east façade of the Louvre and features 12 pairs of imposing cast-iron Corinthian columns. It was the first building in Poland built solely for the purpose of housing book collections and the first Polish public library. Opened on 5 May 1829, the library was founded by Count Edward Raczyński who also provided it with several thousand volumes. In accordance with the foundation statute, the library became the property of the city. The historian Józef Łukaszewicz was appointed the first librarian of the institution. During the Prussian rule the library became the bastion and symbol of Polish culture and the book collection was "accessible to everyone on an equal basis".
Before the outbreak of World War II, the library collection consisted of c. 165,000 volumes. During the war, the most precious part of it was moved to Józef Aleksander Raczyński's landed estate in Obrzycko. Those 17,000 volumes (mainly manuscripts, incunabula and old prints) survived the war, whereas the rest of the collection in Poznań was destroyed in a fire in 1945. Damaged in 1945, the library was rebuilt in the years 1953-1956 and the façade was refurbished in 1998.
Today the Edward Raczyński Municipal Public Library is the second largest library in Poznań (after the University Library). The special collections contain over 9,000 manuscripts (including 100 papyri), nearly 18,000 old prints (including c. 250 incunabula) and around 10,000 maps and charts. Worthy of mention are: a manuscript of a codex from 1460 that include theological treatises by Augustinus Triumphus of Ancona, Polish old prints by Stanisław Hozjusz (1533), Łukasz Górnicki (1566) and Mikołaj Rej (1568), printing matters from Melchior Nehring's publishing house (1577) and the Jesuit printing house in Poznań (17th -18th centuries). The library has established an extensive network of branches throughout the city and it runs three literary museums (devoted to Ignacy Kraszewski, Henryk Sienkiewicz and Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna) and a memorial room commemorating the local marine writer Jerzy Pertek.

Financial reports (and the conceptual frameworks on which they are based) can either embrace a 'decision usefulness' or 'stewardship' function. Define these two terms. Which of these functions has the IASB deemed more important in recent years? Critically evaluate whether the approach adopted by the IASB will lead to the provision of relevant and/or reliable information for all users.
Identify the weaknesses of historical cost accounting. Were any of the alternatives to historical cost (CPPA/CoCoA/CCA) successful? In your response you will need to outline your criteria for success.
Outline the key building blocks of conceptual frameworks. Conceptual Frameworks are yet to provide significant prescription in relation to measurement issues in accounting. Why do you think this is the case? Would you consider conceptual frameworks to have been successful in achieving their objectives? Justify your response.
be able to critically evaluate attempts to develop and apply a conceptual framework.
be able to critically appraise the objectives of accounting and relate them to the various concepts of accounting discussed in earlier subjects.
be able to analyse the possible usefulness of alternative measurement systems to historical cost.
The following points are a general guide for presenting assessment items.
Assessment items should be typed.
Use a wide left margin. Markers need space to be able to include their comments.
Use a standard 12pt font such as Times New Roman, Calibri or Arial.
Include a separate title page with your name, student number, subject code, assessment number and assessment question. Include class time and tutor's name if applicable.
Number your pages (except the cover page).
Use a header or footer with your name and student number on each page.
Always keep a copy of your assessments. Both a hard copy and an electronic copy.
Most importantly, always use your spelling and grammar checker, but remember that this does not pick up all errors. You must still manually and carefully edit your work.
This assignment is based on the discussion regarding the various aspect of financial reporting such as the Conceptual Framework. The two key features, stewardship and decision usefulness has been explored. A comprehensive approach has been adopted for understanding historical cost accounting. In this context, the nature of success of the alternatives has also been discussed. A detailed discussion regarding the building blocks of conceptual framework has been undertaken. The significance of the framework has been explored in relation to the issues of measurement in accounting process. Assessment of the level of success of the objectives has also been incorporated in the discussion.
The theory of accounting on the basis of which testing of the practical problems is carried out is known as conceptual framework in case of financial reporting. The fundamental financing report issues are dealt with in conceptual framework for financial reporting. The issues that are taken into consideration include the objectives along with the users of financial statements. In association with this, the characteristic that designates financial information as useful is also incorporated. Essential elements of financial statements have also been taken into account, which includes liabilities, assets, expenses and income (IFRS, 2017, p.6). Measurement and recognition of the mentioned elements are also present in the proposed conceptual framework.
Assisting the IASB in developing the future IFRSs tends to be the basic purpose of the Conceptual Framework. Besides this, reviewing the existing IFRSs is also considered to be the purpose of CF. Moreover, CF can also provide assistance in preparation of financial statements for the purpose of development of accounting policies responsible for transactions. It also assists in the financial statement preparation of the events that are not being covered by the existing standards. In rare case scenario, conflicts might be encountered related to certain aspects of the CF, which might require revising of IFRS. In such situations, IASB is required to provide a description and explanation of the context of departure (Glautier & Underdown cited in Dandago, 2009, p.93).
Financial reporting requires making decisions regarding investments or undertaking business with an entity. The role of decision usefulness is essential in governing and assisting the decision-making process and is designated to be a vital part of financial reporting standard.
Stewardship functions deal with the protection of interests of the company owner along with the interested parties of the business. The parties involve the investors, shareholders, managers, creditors along with government agencies (IFRS, 2013, p.182). One of the primary functions includes measurement of the available resources of the company. The other function provides for the protection of the equities. Reliability of financial information and standardisation of documents aids in balancing the financial claims (IFRS, 2010, p.49). After the measurement of the resources and striking balance with liabilities, estimation of growth potential poses to be the ultimate functions.
Matthews & Perera (1996, p.9) stated that since the time of antiquity, stewardship accounting had been considered as a part of accounting. Over the period of time, the action of stewardship has been ensured by effective management of resources. It was undertaken by the maintenance of proper accounting records, which reflects the utilisation of available resources. The Joint Stock Companies Act 1844 further incorporated it into the practices adopted for accounting. According to Tilly (1997, p.78), maintenance of accounts and balance sheets are considered to be mandatory along with the preparation for an audit. However, stewardship function has encountered challenges in the past years.
The role played by stewardship involves the boosting of decision usefulness in order to undertake responsible management of the business resources. It creates the required influence for conducting an audit by an independent auditor. Moreover, accurate valuation of the company is undertaken by stewardship since the reliability of information is ensured (IFRS, 2010, p.182). It, in turn, improves the level of reliability regarding decision usefulness in relation to the stakeholders.
Relevance and reliability are two vital qualitative characteristics. Relevance of financial accounting information is such that it creates an impact on the decisions. On the other hand, Reliability refers to the accuracy and fairness of the provided information. Both the aspects are interrelated. Relevance of information has the potential to make a difference in the decisions making process. It is due to the fact that both predictive and confirmatory values are taken into consideration (IFRS, 2018, p.14). Impact of stewardship is evident in the management of integrity to the business and hence providing relevant information is essential along with the maintenance of a level of reliability. Recording of information in an accurate manner is part stewardship function and thus reliability and relevance of information are impacted by it. Moreover, accuracy of financial disclosure is a stewardship function that tends to impact information reliability.
Primary users of general purpose financial reports include owners of the company, financial employees. In case auditing is involved, the auditors are also included. Other users of the report are the shareholders. Stewardship functions, as well as decision usefulness, are applicable to the primary users while application of decision usefulness is extended to stakeholders also. Measurement of current value in relation to historical cost tends to be impacted by decision usefulness since it is vital that the information gathered in accurate, verifiable and reliable.
Normative theory focuses on outlining the ways in which accounting is to be carried out. According to Matthews & Perera (1996, p.64), deductive reasoning is employed in order to proceed in a logically consistent manner. The value of judgement is represented in the process of devising the objective. However, initial criticism had been encountered due to the lack of welfare framework.
Historical cost accounting is the method that takes into account the measure of value. According to IFRS (2010, p.37), the original cost acquired by a business serves as the basis of price of assets present on the balance of the company. For example, land of company headquarter is acquired at $100000; however, the current market value is $20 million. The asset value recorded on the balance sheet remains $100000. According to IFRS (2018), fair value accounting method considers the current market price on the financial statements of a company on the basis of mark-to-market accounting records. It is the price estimated for the assets and liabilities in case the assets are sold, or liabilities are alleviated. The issue in this context is that the market prices tend to fluctuate in an abrupt manner. Besides this, according to IFRS (2013), sufficient as well as relevant information is not provided by the current market price, which tends to pose a difficulty.
The normative alternatives that are available for historical cost accounting include the following.
CPPA or Current Purchasing Power Accounting: The financial statement of historical cost is restated and adjusted. According to Deegan (2014, p.174), the original amount if reflected in terms of current purchasing power that tends to govern general purchasing power.
CCA or Current Cost Accounting: the measurement basis of this accounting method considers value to business aspect. Deegan (2014, p.184) opined that it includes the recoverable amount along with net current replacement cost.
CoCoA or Continuous and Current Accounting System: It is a contemporary accounting method that measures assets and liabilities in terms of the current cash equivalents. Deegan (2014, p.191) stated that emphasis is laid on inclusion of current predictive selling price in the financial statements.
FVA or Fair Value Accounting: Deegan (2014, p.195) opined that the price estimation of assets and liabilities are conducted on the basis of current market value.
The measurement choices available for accounting include historical cost, fair value, current cost, realisable value and value in use (ICAEW, 2006, p.32).
According to IFRS (2010, p.35), measurements of the elements of financial statements have been enlisted below.
Assets: In case future economic benefits are present and measurement of the cost of asset is reliable, assets are recognized in the balance sheet.
Liabilities: Situation in which settling of a present obligation has an outflow of economic benefits results in recognition of liabilities in the financial statement.
Income: Demonstration of an increase in economic benefits leads to the recognition of income. For example, increase in sales of goods or debt waiver.
Expenses: Decrease in economic benefits for the future results in recognition of expenses in financial statements. It has direct association with earnings and cost incurred.
According to IFRS (2015a, p.67), the provided information needs to be relevant and needs to demonstrate faithful representation of the purport.
Qualitative characteristics that need to be portrayed include understandable, comparable as well as verifiable nature of information. Initial measurement factors include exchange of similar and different value items, equity claim transactions and internal construction of assets.
CPPA consider general purchasing power while value of individual items is not considered. Moreover, it is conducted on the basis of statistical index which is difficult to choose. According to Deegan (2014, p.201), CCA is unable to figure out the related tax liabilities and hence complete analysis of true costs cannot be conducted. CoCoA is based on the exit price system, which is the cause of reluctance in acceptability of this method. Moreover, due to the mentioned fact, internal value is not considered in the balance sheet. Emphasis is laid on adapting to the environment while the influence of environment is not taken into account. It is due to these reasons that the mentioned accounting methods could not be accepted as standards. In this context, acceptance has been shown towards mixed measurement basis since relevant information cannot always be obtained for all elements of financial statement by single measurement basis. The useful nature of qualitative characteristics and details of cost constraints provides the necessary support for adoption of mixed measurement model in comparison with HCA.
The building blocks of conceptual framework have been incorporated into the discussion, which is as follows.
The initial block of the conceptual framework is financial reporting. The subsequent block is a reporting entity. According to IFRS (2015a, p.4), the establishment of criteria in order to determine the entities that have been considered as reporting entities and is dealt with in SAC 1 of the conceptual framework. It is known as definition of reporting entity. It aids in the preparation of financial reports for general purpose. SAC 2 deals with the objectives which are the third block while SAC 3 is the fourth one. It deals with the qualitative characteristics of financial information. The fifth block includes the details of the elements of a financial report, which is included in SAC 4. The elements are assets, liabilities, income and expense. Along with this, the sixth block is also included in SAC 4. It deals with the recognition criteria of the elements of financial report. The seventh block is concerned with the basis of measurements. According to IFRS (2018a, p.5), it includes the factors of reliability and variability along with comparability. Techniques of measurement comprise the eighth block of the framework while financial position is considered as the ninth block. The factors that are taken into account include adaptation capability, solvency, wealth and financial structure. The tenth block of the framework is performance. Information that needs to be present in this context includes variability and the changes that are encountered in relation to consumption of resources. According to AASB PS5 (2001, p.12), compliance and applicability are considered as twelfth block and thirteenth block respectively. Fourteenth block is concerned with elevation, which compares principle with details. Fifteenth block deals with the research methodology while sixteenth is regarding the requirements essential for audit. Re-transition of policies has been designated the seventeenth block while monitoring of the compliance activities is the eighteenth block. Nineteenth and the final block deals with the prosecution details in case of non-compliance.
The building blocks are connected in relation to consistency and flow of information. Coherency is maintained across the framework by ensuring interrelation of the objectives. The underlying idea behind the outlining of the framework is governed by the normative theory. Since the fundamentals have been provided, it demonstrates the potential to lead to consistent standards. According to Deegan (2014, p.215), the prescriptive style aid in the maintenance of order of development as a logical system is developed. The incorporation of the details regarding the recognition criteria for the elements along with the measurement standards aids in the elimination of inconsistencies.
The objective of IASB Conceptual Framework (CF) is to provide the guidance regarding the order to conduct the procedure of financial reporting. The prescriptive style aids in ensuring the mentioned fact while being governed by the normative theory. Despite the fact that CF has not been accepted as an accounting standard, the framework is found to be used in scenarios where new standards are being set (IFRS, 2018a, p.7). The specificity that has been demonstrated in relation to the measurement basis has addressed the critical issues that are encountered in accounting. The application of measurement basis aids in the prediction of future margins, which is essential for the maintenance of physical capital (IFRS 2015a, 58). Therefore, the information that is being provided poses to be sufficient for the justifications of the cost details. Exact measure of the elements of a financial statement has demonstrated the potential of precise prescription. However, Mitchell (2015, p.4) argued that details provided regarding measurement standard are more inclined to be a general description of the existing practices in measurement. It needed to be more of principles on the basis of which the decisions are supposed to be made.
In order to assess the level of success regarding the achievement of the objectives by Conceptual Framework, various factors such as standard inconsistencies need to be considered. Prior to the development of the Conceptual Framework, there were inconsistencies in the determination process of standards. The logical approach that was incorporated in devising of the framework aided in the elimination of the inconsistencies (Peach, 2015, p.3). In this context, it can be stated that the standards have been set for the recognition criteria of elements along with the measurement basis, which ensures consistency (IFRS, 2018, p.6). Moreover, the prescribed style of the framework aids in a methodological approach. The extended time that was earlier required in order to frame with standards was thereby eliminated. Therefore, it can be concluded that CF has been able to achieve the objectives that had been set significantly.
It can be concluded that decision usefulness and stewardship tend to be crucial aspects of financial reporting standards since information relevance; reliability and maintenance of business integrity depend upon it. Acceptability of CoCoA is hindered due to the fact that the exit price system is taken into consideration while CCA has the inability to provide insight regarding tax liabilities. The building blocks of Conceptual Framework have the potential to ensure logical and consistency in the order of development. The prescriptive nature of the framework has ensured the success of the objectives.

Compliance and
Cooperation on Global Issues
The two first-ever Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers to be dispatched to Georgia greeted the Ambassador of Georgia to Japan: Georgia becomes the 99th country to host JOCV activities
The two volunteers give their departure greetings to the Georgian Ambassador.
On January 23, the two first-ever Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV) to be dispatched to Georgia greeted Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Georgia to Japan Teimuraz Lezhava at JICA Headquarters prior to their departure.
JICA opened its Georgia office in May 2017, and an exchange of notes on an agreement to dispatch JOCV to Georgia was signed between the respective governments in December 2019. Though the first volunteers were expected to be dispatched during FY2020, this was postponed due to the spread of COVID-19; the first dispatch is finally taking place in January 2023. Georgia will be the 99th country to receive JOCV.
Ms. Uchida Risa (from Kumamoto Prefecture), who teaches Japanese for a Japanese language course at a state university in Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, and Ms. Ogizawa Mai (from Ibaraki Prefecture), who provides student guidance and counseling at a children's self-reliance support facility, also in Tbilisi, expressed their aspirations and determination in their activities, despite their nervousness. In response, Ambassador Lezhava expressed his gratitude for Japan's ODA and JICA's projects, and expressed his high hopes for the JOCV's activities in Georgia. The Ambassador came to Japan at the age of four and later graduated from Waseda University. He has a deep knowledge of Japanese society and culture, is fluent in Japanese, and is well-known for his frequent humor-filled SNS messages. It was also discovered that Ambassador Lezhava and Ms. Ogizawa were classmates at junior high school in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, which resulted in a happy scene of old friendships renewed, at what was their first reunion in 18 years.
In line with the Japanese government's Country Assistance Policy for Georgia, JOCV will be dispatched within the sectors of health and medical care, education, agriculture, tourism, and local industry. Following the first two volunteers, two more are scheduled to be dispatched around April 2023 in fields related to tourism and local-industry development, and in the future, it is planned that more than 10 volunteers will have activities in Georgia.

With an area of 267,000 square meters, the project will primarily turn out Wartsila W20, W26 and W32 medium-speed diesel engines, with an annual output of 400 units. This means world top medium-speed marine diesel engines will be manufactured in Guangdong. Present were Jari Gustafsson, Finnish ambassador to China; He Ningka, deputy secretary of the CPC Zhuhai Municipal Committee and mayor of Zhuhai; Wang Qingli, vice mayor of Zhuhai; Gu Tangsheng, president of Yuchai Group and Bjorn Rosengren, CEO of Wartsila Group.
The project was established on December 20, 2012 and initiated on May 29, 2014. From project approval to construction and production, the project set a construction record in the industry. The project has the largest investment among the projects outside the headquarters base of Yuchai Group, and local leading offshore engineering enterprises such as Zhuhai Yuchai Marine Power Co., Ltd. (YCMP) are expected to drive regional industrial transformation and upgrading.
"We will go all out to build Yuchai Zhuhai Base into China's most advanced marine diesel engine manufacturing base," said Gu Tangsheng, president of Yuchai Group, adding that the production of the joint venture will be a milestone in Yuchai's development history. In the high-speed engine field, Yuchai has moved into the first camp of marine power brands; in the low-speed engine field, by cooperating with Wartsila Group in a wide range of fields such as technology, production and market, YCMP has successfully manufactured and delivered the first Wartsila W-X35 low-speed engine, achieving a breakthrough in the South China low-speed engine market. Besides, the world's first Wartsila W-X4 low-speed engine has rolled offline at YCMP and passed first-model certifications of major classification societies in the world. Now, Yuchai diesel engines have covered high, medium and low-speed power, thus forming the most complete spectrum of diesel engines in the country. Yuchai will unremittingly develop the marine power business, continue to intensify independent R & D and expand cooperation with international brands to further consolidate and extend Yuchai's lead in the marine power field.
Bjorn Rosengren, president and CEO of Wartsila Group, said, as the key country supplying new vessels, China plays a critical role in Wartsila's global growth strategy. The production of the Wartsila medium-speed engine plant is of great significance to the company's operations in China.
Wang Qingli, vice mayor of Zhuhai, said, the production of Wartsila Yuchai medium-speed engine project will inject a strong impetus into Zhuhai's equipment manufacturing, be conducive to Zhuhai's industrial restructuring, and promote Zhuhai to become a core city in the west coast of the Pearl River.
Sources said the project was constructed with a joint investment from YCMP and Wartsila. With an area of some 266,700 square meters, the new plant is committed to assembling and testing Wartsila 20, Wartsila 26 and Wartsila 32. Now some assembly lines and test benches have gone into production and the plant is expected to go into full production by late 2016. Wartsila established Wartsila Yuchai Engine Co., Ltd. with YCPM, a subsidiary of Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd., in May 2013. Wartsila invested some 17 million euros in the joint venture, holding a 50% stake, equal to Yuchai. Under the cooperative agreement, the two sides will invest in the medium-speed marine diesel engine project at Zhuhai Fushan Industrial Park with the aim of building Wartsila-Yuchai Zhuhai Base into a world top engine manufacturing base. The project will use world top technologies to manufacture Wartsila W20, W26 and W32 medium-speed engines with a power range of 800kW to 10,000kW, which will be applied on marine engineering vessels, offshore and ocean going vessels, and special vessels as scarce mariner power series in China.

Melbourne Storm heavyweights drop huge hint amid Cameron Smith silence
Glenn Valencich
Published: 09/12/2020 Updated: Wednesday, 9 December 2020 1:49 PM GMT+11
Tom Starling charged after pub brawl
Cameron Smith has "realised it's time" to retire from the NRL, according to Melbourne Storm part-owner Gerry Ryan, but the heavyweight can't explain why he has held off telling anyone.
Smith was in Storm territory on Tuesday for the first time since May, appearing at a marathon signing session of his autobiography.
But the 37-year-old, who has already bought a house on the Gold Coast, didn't make time to talk to any club officials and he also refused to take any questions from the media.
Storm chairman Matt Tripp will instead fly to Queensland this weekend to seek a final answer and discuss how he can stay involved with the club in 2021.
Ryan said he would "put some money" on October's grand final being Smith's last game match.
"Cameron hasn't come out and said to us. I think he's holding the meeting at bay," Ryan told SEN radio.
"So, no, he's played his last game at Melbourne and I think he'll retire.
"He's had lots of offers to be with us in an advisor capacity. I'm sure the (Brisbane) Broncos would like to see him go back.

"He's going to live in Queensland. So, what options up there? AFL clubs will chase him down for leadership roles.
"The great man, I think he's realised it's time to hang the boots up, and what a great career."
The decision will ensure Smith exits the NRL on a high after leading Melbourne to another premiership.
AFL club Hawthorn have reportedly approached Smith, a long-time fan of the Hawks, about linking up for 2021.
The increasingly impatient Storm also remain keen to keep Smith on their books.

But club chairman Tripp told the NRL website they had already committed to 2021 plans that do not feature their long-time captain.
"I'm hopefully going to see him this weekend," Tripp said.
"I haven't had a chance to chat to him on that. But if he was going to be playing for the Melbourne Storm next year, I would know about it I think.
"That's not to suggest he's not going to be playing elsewhere, I genuinely don't know the answer to that.
"Hopefully we can get down to a bit of detail and work through what next year looks like because I'd love him to stay on at the club.
"If he does a backflip and says 'no, I want to play again' (then) I've got to get creative and find a way to make that happen. But I think if that was his intention he would've told me by now.

"I'm going up there with the expectation to keep him involved at the club in some capacity if he doesn't want to play on.
"And that remains to be seen. I'm really not sure what his intentions are. He's been on the book-signing trail but we are going to cross paths and catch up."
Melbourne this week braced for the loss of one key cog in their post-Smith life when Brandon Smith was granted a release from his contract for the 2022 season.
Brandon had expected to take Cameron's No.9 jumper upon his retirement but he has been convinced to look elsewhere after Harry Grant's emergence this year via Wests Tigers.
Grant has returned to the Storm for the 2021 season following a one-year loan deal that produced a breakout season.
It appears Grant will now slot into Melbourne's starting side, with Brandon filling a utility role and Cameron sunning himself in Queensland.

Cabarete is located on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic and is quickly gaining reputation as the Adventure Sports Capital of the Caribbean, as well as one of most incredible vacation destinations in the Caribbean, if not the world.
Located just 20 minutes from Puerto Plata International Airport (POP), the town of Cabarete sits along a beautiful beach overlooking the aquamarine waters of Cabarete Bay. For water sport enthusiasts, it offers kiteboarding, windsurfing, surfing, paddle-boarding and sailing. Land lovers can enjoy hiking, caving, horseback riding, tennis or cycling.
Once a quiet fishing community, this hip little beach town has transformed into one of the most popular and modern tourists hotspots in the Caribbean. If watersports are not for you, then rent a beach chair for the day and bake in the warm Caribbean sun before dipping into the beautiful turquoise waters of the bay. Eat dinner beachside in one of the many restaurants that tempt visitors with mouth-watering menus and refreshing cocktails under star-lit skies, then join the night owls in one of the local bars or dance clubs where you're bound to be entertained by spirited conversation, lively music and dancing.
With a population of around 10,000 people, there is a significant community of around 2,000 expats representing over 20 different nationalities.

Old Montana State Prison
Deer Lodge, Montana
Visit the Prison!
Deer Lodge, Montana is home to one of the most haunted places in the state, Old Montana State Prison. Come explore its mystery with Haunted Journeys.
In response to rampant lawlessness and the vigilante-style form of justice present in the newly formed Montana Territory, in 1867 the US Congress allotted $40,000 to Montana for the express purpose of constructing a territorial prison. The Old Montana State Prison was completed in 1871. Montana achieved statehood in 1889.
It only took a single month before the prison was overcrowded. Throughout the prison's history, the institution was plagued with constant overcrowding, insufficient funds, and antiquated facilities. Although the completion of the cell block meant a roof over a prisoner's head, the amenities of the facility were sparse. The cells measured a small 6 × 8 ft, were constructed of soft brick, and had no plumbing or artificial lights. The building had no heating or ventilation. This was troubling since Montana is known to have very hard winters. To alleviate the chilled discomfort, the administration used wood stoves to heat the building and oil lamps to light it. The smoke combined with the stench of bucketed human waste and unwashed bodies made conditions pretty intolerable.
The prison hired a physician to keep the inmates somewhat healthy but provided no pharmaceuticals. Any drugs required to administer to the inmates had to be purchased using his own salary. Between May and November 1873, the overworked doctor reported 67 illnesses in a population of 21 inmates or about three maladies per prisoner during a span of six months.
On April 16th, 1959, Jerry Myles and Lee Smart led twelve inmates in a riot that turned deadly. The Deputy Warden, Ted Rothe, was shot through the heart with a confiscated gun by a 19 year old convicted murderer named Lee Smart. A guard, William Cox, was slashed from armpit to elbow with a knife wielded by an inmate. They took eighteen prison employees and five stool pigeon inmates as hostages in three cells on the second tier of the old cell house. They soaked rags with a flammable liquid and threatened to burn them alive. When the standoff ended 36 hours later, in the predawn hours of April 18, rescuers found the riot leaders Myles and Smart dead at the top of the northwest tower from an apparent murder-suicide.
Due to declining degenerative problems, the old prison was closed in 1979, when a new facility was built to replace the old prison.
The Hauntings
This dark history that is accentuated with the violence of the prison riots predetermines intensive supernatural activity, and it is not all good. In fact, this is not for the light-hearted ghost hunting enthusiast.
Yes indeed, visitors to the old prison have reported terrifying paranormal activity. The experiences have been no sorter than physical attacks. Some have had the horrific sensation of being choked by some unseen hands. Others have emerged with scratches covering their bodies. In the former site of the women's prison, people have been pushed down corridors.
It's claimed that the ghost of convicted murderer Paul Eitner, known as "Turkey Pete," still haunts Cell No. 1. Eitner spent 49 years incarcerated at the prison before dying in 1967 of natural causes in 1.
You will find it all here! Other phenomena reported include strange sounds and disembodied voices. There are shadows seen and full-bodied apparitions. Many people being touched. One a ghost hunting team actually captured a video showing (what seems to be) an entity taking a shower.
Be aware if you are empathic. There is always an overwhelming feeling of dread and anxiety. This property will try to own your emotions!
The prison offers ghost tours that take you through the halls of the prison. You will have a chance to visit a number of its spine-tingling locations, such as the solitary confinement quarter known as "The Hole,". You will also experience the maximum security cells where visitors are warned not to explore alone, and the site of the 1959 riot. This experience is not for the faint of heart.

Then Compass Point hits you with the upshot: "Multiple expansion combined with earnings growth leads to alpha." In other words, the way to outperformance (alpha) is to buy small caps and wait for them to grow so that the market rewards the same assets with a higher multiple. Find a growing small REIT with a solid management team and let them run their game plan. That's the secret.
Think of websites as virtual real estate. The reason why website flipping has made many multi millionaires is because you are creating assets. Assets are things that make money for you without you having to do work. There are many different types of assets such as real estate, businesses, etc. But if you are website flipping, you are making money from the asset you created, but you are also making money from when you sell your asset.

Ex-SL service chiefs call for political unity
In an unprecedented move, fifteen former commanders of the three SL armed forces jointly met President Mahinda Rajapaksa and discussed the grave military and political situation in the country, reports PK Balachandran.
world Updated: Nov 17, 2007 20:30 IST
PK Balachandran
In an unprecedented move, fifteen former commanders of the three Sri Lankan armed forces jointly met President Mahinda Rajapaksa in Colombo on Friday and discussed the grave military and political situation in the country.
"This was the first time in the history of independent Sri Lanka that former service commanders, all of Four Star rank, had met the President of the country and discussed such issues," Air Chief Marshal (Retired) Harry Goonetilleke told Hindustan Times on Saturday.
The veterans, each with over 35 years of experience in the fighting forces, called for a National Front comprising all political parties, and the establishment of a National Secretariat to draw up a National Plan covering defense, political, economic and social issues. The Secretariat should monitor the implementation of such a plan, they added.
Rajapaksa accepted the veterans' appeal to work out a "national plan" and appealed to them to meet the various political parties and help bring about a consensus on the main issues facing the country, principally those relating to the war, the Tamil question and finding a political settlement acceptable to all communities and political parties.
The former service chiefs made it clear to the President that their move was completely non-partisan, and that they were only worried that even after facing a challenge from terrorism for 30 years, the country was still to get united and draft and implement a national plan to eliminate terrorism and bring about a political settlement.
The former service chiefs would meet the President again, ACM Goonetillke said.
Political context of the meeting
Political observers say that it is significant that the former service chiefs should meet the President at this juncture when the Rajapaksa-led government is facing the possibility of defeat in parliament on the annual budget. A vote on the budget is to take place on Monday.
Rajapaksa's ally turned adversary, the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), is threatening to vote against the budget if the government does not ban the LTTE and abrogate the Norwegian brokered Ceasefire Agreement (CFA). But these are conditions he might find difficult to accept.
A ruling party MP and the chairman of the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE), Wijedasa Rajapaksa, had crossed over to the opposition United National Party (UNP) saying that the government was sheltering corrupt ministers.
It is feared that other disgruntled MPs might follow Wijedasa Rajapaksa. Many ruling party MPs and ministers are said to disapprove the special powers enjoyed by the brothers of President Rajapaksa.
The parties of the minority communities, like the Ceylon Workers' Congress (CWC), representing the Indian Origin Tamils, and the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC), are officially with the government. But actually, they are disgruntled and sitting on the fence, waiting for the JVP to decide whether to vote for or against or abstain.
Though the government has engineered one crossover from the UNP to its side, it is not at all sure if the voting in the 225-member house will go in its favour. It is believed to be using every resource at its command to see that there is no erosion of its strength in parliament. Its emissaries are talking to MPs across the board.
