It is all false Advertising.
I am in the market looking for a job and I happened to see posted an ad for a company called DS Max International.They claim to be an international company from the United States and they would train you for a period of three to six months and later on offer you employment.I had nothing doing at the time and decided to give it a go.The first thing that you find out when you join the company is that they do not train you for the items that they claim to do in their advertisement.If you see one of their ads,normally posted like on an electric pool, it would claim that they train people in the field of Accounting,Marketing,Advertising,Management,Commercial Communication and Music.That is all false advertising.DS MAX international stands for Direct Sales Maximum International.They are actually a door to door sales company and they have nothing to do with training people to be Accountants,Marketers or any thing in the field of music.I happen to hang around with them for a period of one full week plus one day.I was given a trainer who had joined the company before me and she was pretty good.The first week of sales we did pretty well and she was spending some money that I though was money coming from the company.It turned out that money that she was spending was her personal money.What made me to actually leave the company so early thought is that there were some contest that the manager made available to us and at the end of the contest we were suppose to pick up some cash prizes.The day of the cash prizes,he came in and changed the rules and negated on all the promises that he had made.
My reason for writing this column is that if you come across an ad from this company promising you training and employment just know that it is false advertising.They do not have the facilities to provide you training in any of the above courses.This company is just a front for some dishonest individuals to be pushing products that might turn out to be false.I did not stay long enough to find out.But I bet you that the products that they are pushing might not be the real thing.

प्लांटिंग थे Corn
Planting the Corn.We started the process of planting the corn,today the 24th of August 2011.It looks like the original information that I got about when corn is to be planted was wrong.I was told that the corn has to be on the ground by the 16th of August.But there was a lot of rain during this period.That was bad for the seedlings.I did about a third of the planting today and I will continue in the days to come.My plan is to get everything on the ground by the end of this month.
We had to go to the market to purchase some seedlings for the planting.It looks like the ones that were lying around in the house had gone bad.I paid one hundred and fifty francs CFA for the seedlings to continue the planting.
The seedlings that I purchased in town were planted on the twenty six of August 2011.So the area in front of the house is all taking care of.All I have to do is take care of the piece of land that is close to the stream.Everything should be done before the last day of the month of August.
Yesterday the 29th of August 2011 I put down 40 of the seedlings that I had bought from the market.This is after I saw a seedling that I had planted a couple of days before popping out of the drown.I had to go to Buea today August 30th to purchase some medications.Before I went though I put down another 40 seedlings on the ground.That would make it a total of eighty seedlings in a period of two days.I am hoping that the first of September would be the last day that I put anymore seedlings into the ground.
My plans to make the first of September the last day that I put any more seedlings into the ground did not work.The corn is beginning to shoot out of the ground.That is the good news.The bad news is that the rain is interfering quite a bit.Planting corn in August-September is quite different from planting in the early months of the year.During the early part of the year,you are praying for rain to fall,while at the later part of the year you are praying to get some sunshine.

पोर्तुगल एंड ब्राज़ील मके फिनाल्स.
Portugal versus Brazil-The under 20 world cup finals in Columbia is going to be an all latina affair between two time winner Portugal versus four time winner Brazil.In semi-final match ups yesterday both teams made it by beating their opponents by 2 goals to zero.Portugal got first half goals from Danilo and Nelson Oliveira for their victory over France.The Portuguese team frustrated the French team who despite their brilliant play could not find the back of the net.In fact the Portuguese team was playing their sixth match in a row without conceding a goal.The only goals that have gone through the net of their goal keeper is during penalty shootouts with Argentina. That is the team that came close to knocking them out of the competition.
Brazil has been brilliant throughout the competition and yesterday was no exception.They toyed with the Mexicans for eighty minutes before the goals started to come.Henrique connected with two brilliant goals,the first a beautiful header and the second a brilliant finish with his right leg for the final margin of victory. The first goal was at the 80th minute and the second was at the 84th minute of play.With two teams that are tactically sound we should be looking forward to an excellent finals come Sunday the 21st of August 2011.If I have to make a prediction,I would say go with Brazil.They seem to have the ability to come up with goals when needed.

Processing my Winnings.
I got a notification from Microsoft Corporation that I have won a total of seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds last week and right now I am in the process of trying to claim the money. The letter came to my email box from a British Bank that has a branch in Scotland. The initial email that came to me requested some personal information like name, address, occupation, date of birth, country of birth and country of residence. It also required me to be very careful as to the keeping of the information that is being sent to me over the internet. I send the initial information and got a response right away from the contact person in the
Scottish bank. Since I live overseas, it was explained to me that the best way for me to get my money would be through an electronic money transfer. So that would require me to provide information from my bank. I went ahead and send that information, together with my contact information again that included a telephone number from which I could be reached. I went ahead and send that information and then I got a message that everything seems to be okay except that I have to send in some money for a processing fee: The processing fee was about close to 800 pounds. Where I come from that is not a little bit of money. It translates into about five hundred thousand francs in my currency. I do not have that type of money and I send an email that they should deduct the amount from my winnings. The last email had suggested that due to some legal issues, the bank does not operate in such a manner. That they can not deduct their fees from my winnings before sending me the rest of the money. I still went ahead and send a reply to the email explaining my situation. So right now I am waiting to hear from the bank as to their final decision. One thing is clear though. I do not have a processing fee of close to five hundred thousand in my currency to ship overseas. I have been using Microsoft software now for close to a little bit more that two decades. Since my days in college. So I am waiting to see how all to these would play out.
I seem to have come to a standstill hear and the reason is that the processing fee for me to collect my winnings to not something that I can afford right now. I have been corresponding with my contact person overseas and they wanted to know how much I could come up with so that they can put up the rest of the money. The problem is that I have been out of work for so long now that money is a real issue. That might be bound to change though because I just called on a job lead that is in need of an accountant and they said that I should come down to the office on Saturday or on Monday . What I would do is show up to the place on Monday and make sure that I get the job. The money itself is not going to be an issue. Because just to get back into the job market, I would be willing to take a very big pay cut. My feeling is that once I start working the job offers would flow in and hopefully I would not be having money issue problems anymore. Back to the Microsoft winning .There is a suggestion that I should let a charitable organization get the money if I can not collect it. What I am going right now is looking up some charitable organizations and attempt to contact them and see whether they could come up with the amount needed for the processing fee.

थे NBA
The NBA in the 2000s
Trying to compare the NBA as it is now with say the 1980s and the 1990s. In the 1980s the league was struggling and in came two superstars from the college rank. Magic Erving Johnson from Michigan state and Larry Bird from Indiana state. After going head to head in the 1983 NCAA championship they both headed for the pros and they would be responsible for carrying the league to a new height. In fact lifting it out of a possible bankruptcy. They were two great teams, the Boston Celtics from the East and the Los Angeles Lakers from the West. You could make a case for teams such as the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks from the East and the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs from the West. But basically it was Boston in the East and Los Angeles Lakers from the West.
In the 1990s there was sort if the changing of the guard with the Chicago Bulls emerging from the East. In the West, a number of teams emerge that included the Phoenics Suns, the Utah Jazz and to a lesser extend, the San Antonio Spurs began to make their move. In the East you could make a case for Detroit who won back to back championships before the Chicago Bulls would make their run that would include six championships. Teams that made runs at a championship falling just short at the finals included Philly and the New York Knicks.
In the year 2000s the West seems to be the place where all the teams with championships aspirations were coming from. There were the Spurs, and then the Los Angeles Lakers who won the championship rings, with teams like Dallas, Sacramento, Seattle and Portland making runs at a championship.

Paul Biya gets sworn in as President of the Republic of Cameroon for another 7 year term.
The CPDM still rules in this country as it ran away with the past October elections.The opposition was defeated handily and their current display was worse than their showing 7 yrs ago.The current President's party got 79.2 percent of the votes.The closest competition came from SDF who get a mere 10.2 percent of the votes.That is down form the 17.8 percent that they got seven years ago.
This is the seventh time that Paul Biya is been sworned in as President of this country that is located in the Central part of Africa.His first sworn in was in 1982,the next one in 1984,then 1988,then 1992,then 1997,then 2004 and lastly 2011.There was not much noise generated from this particular swearing in ceremony.
According to Radio France International no sitting head of state showed up for the swearing in ceremony.No opposition candidate was around especially the runner-up Ni John Fru NDI.My guess would be that the people of Cameroon are just tired of the guy and would allow him to rule and die in office.A lot of noise has been made in terms of promises and everybody in the nation would be waiting for the country to be transformed into a work in progress as the President has promised.
