London’s Mixed Messages
Posted August 7th, 2010 in Europe | No Comments »
London
Fortune recently dropped two pre-paid tickets to London and a free place to stay about forty minutes out by train from downtown, so naturally, off we went.

Harbor in Turkey
You can’t say Turkey sits around and lets the dust gather. Due to the recent problems with the Euro vis à vis the dollar, Turkey’s lira, through no fault of its own, has gained some strength against the Euro (incidentally, as of this month, the Euro is the most circulated currency in the world, passing up the U.S.). This has naturally affected Turkey’s export volume. With around 60% of its exports currently heading for Europe, the adventures of the ten-year-old Euro Zone currency are of great interest to Turkish businessmen, as well as to the Turkish government. Turkey also faces a more cautious market at home, so how can she move even more stuff out of her factories and into European markets?
Identifying Risks and Vulnerabilities Associated with your Network?
Posted June 29th, 2010 in Information Technology | No Comments »What is a threat to your company’s network? A threat is any situation or event that can potentially harm a network by destroying it, disclosing the information stored on the system, adversely modifying the data, or make the system unavailable.
Threats fall largely into two categories: environmental and human. A simple, yet realistic disastrous environmental threat such as flooding can have a tremendous financial impact on your network that may leave you confronting bankruptcy before the end of the quarter. Why, because you didn’t take the time to review/protect against adverse event(s) due to the daily stresses and strains of operating a business, etc…

Mongolia possesses some of the world’s largest deposits of coal, uranium, and copper.
