Guide To Buying Software For Your Business and Spotting Dishonest Sales Tactics

Image
Buying or changing software for your business is a big step, and unfortunately there are too many sleezy salesmen and rogue software companies that use deplorable tactics to obtain sales, and when they do, it is always to your detriment. I am in the software industry, and can tell you that in my sector, well over half of the software companies use sleazy, dishonest and misleading sales tactics. Whenever you are dealing with a software salesman, you must always remember, they want the sale to get their commission, they are not your friend, they are not to be trusted, they want you to pay as much as possible, and many will go to any lengths to get that sale, even lie through their teeth. It sounds obvious, but a good salesman will gain your trust and tell you what you want to hear, so instinctively, you will trust them. If they told you the truth, you probably wouldn't buy their software. Large companies have intensive assessment and procurement procedures to make sure the product is

The Reasons Why I Voted for Brexit

In the UK we had a referendum to decide if the UK should remain part of the EU (European Union).  I like the majority of the people who cast their vote, voted to leave.  The people who voted to leave are known as Leavers, and the ones who wanted to remain are known as Remainers.  The vote leave won and the government of the UK promised to honour the vote and leave the EU, this is known as Brexit. The UK has been pretty split since the result of the referendum, with the remainers doing their upmost to stop Brexit, thus the turmoil. Brexit is Personal The Brexit issue is a very personal issue, everybody has their own justified reasons. I have found many liberals justifiably relish the thought of unity with our European neighbours, others their jobs are directly affected by the EU, others don't like the lack of democracy in the EU or how it's run, some like the open borders, etc. I have a few friends who voted remain, and I freely admit that if I was them, I would to.  They

A Guide to Palestinian Suffering

Who and what are Palestinians Palestine was never a country as such in recent history, but a province that was part of the Ottoman Empire and taken over by France and England after WWI, France with the French Mandate of Palestine (today's Syria and Lebanon) and England with theirs (Jordan, Israel, Gaza and the West Bank). Not all Palestinians and Jews lived in Palestine, many lived all over the Arab world. At one time Jordan's population was 2 thirds Palestinian (not any more due to expulsions). The Palestinian leadership has not done any favours for its people (like Black September  and fighting a proxy war against Israel), however the Palestinian people are treated like second class citizens all over the Arab world  :- In 2001, Palestinians in Lebanon were stripped of the right to own property, or to pass on the property that they already owned to their children – and banned from working as doctors, lawyers, pharmacists or in 20 other professions. Even the Palestini

GDPR: The Illusion of More Rights and the Hypocracy

GDPR has just come into action throughout the EU, telling you that you have more rights regarding data held about you, nothing can be further from the truth. The full script of the Regulation is here . Notice in paragraph 5 & 6, especially the text: 5) ...National authorities in the Member States are being called upon by Union law to cooperate and exchange personal data so as to be able to perform their duties or carry out tasks on behalf of an authority in another Member State.   6) ...should further facilitate the free flow of personal data within the Union and the transfer to third countries and international organisations, 10) ..This Regulation also provides a margin of manoeuvre for Member States to specify its rules, including for the processing of special categories of personal data (‘sensitive data’).  Basically the above translates to the fact that your information must be shared with other EU states, whether held by your own state or a private company. States a

Jews, Christians and Palestinians, historically and today who has a rightful claim to Israel

This is a much contested topic, the Muslim Palestinians insisting on a right of return, the Jews claiming Israel is their's, so who is right? Firstly we need to clarify a few facts (hereafter, Palestine means the former British Mandate of Palestine that is now  Jordan, Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip collectively and does not include the former parts of the French Palestine, being Syria and Lebanon). Population of Palestine (numbers) In 1920, the official British Government's Interim Report on the Civil Administration of Palestine by T.E. Lawrence stated that there were hardly 700,000 people living in Palestine. Palestine at the time was today's Jordan, Israel, Gaza Strip and the West Bank, meaning today the population of the same area is 18.7 million (an increase of 18 million over the last 95 years).  To put this into perspective, the entire area of what was then called Palestine was 116,127 km², slightly smaller than the small African nation of Eritr

Why are Jews So Financially Successful in the World Today

There are currently only 15 million Jews in the world, which isn't many considering that there are 7,046 million people in the world. In the top richest people in the world, there are 3 Jews in the top 10, 6 in the top 20 and 9 in the top 30 (see http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/ ), however, England's richest man is way down at number 89.  There are  52 million people living in the UK, which means that there are 3.5 times as many UK citizens as there are Jews in the world . It may be argued that some of these billionaires had a head start due to wealthy family, not so. Look at George Soros ($19.2 billion), he had to survive in Hungry during the Nazi occupation and relied on charity when he lived in London after the war, a real rags to riches story. In America, Jews make up only 2% of the population, but 100 of 400 wealthiest Americans are of Jewish  descent . A study by the Pew Forum institute found that Jews are the richest religious group in the US.
