Mailboxes

Since it is prominently located right in front of your home or office, a mailbox should not only be functional but it should also aesthetically match your house's appearance. Otherwise, it will become prominently ugly and will be remembered whenever people think of your house (or office).

In searching for quality residential mailboxes, it would be good to have a photo of your residence within reach for easier matching. Search for the mailboxes that you like and match it with the picture of your residence. That should give you an idea of the right item to buy. In the numerous construction projects that I have worked on, I made extensive use of the Internet in searching for the suitable architectural hardware. It saved me a lot of time and made presentation to the clients a lot easier.

In evaluating various commercial mailboxes, try not to be too fancy in the design. After all, the entire building is supposed to be very business like and fussy architectural fittings create an impression of excessive extravagance. That might give visiting clients the idea that the company's services are way overpriced.

In buying mailboxes, dont choose the first mailbox that you find. Consider the building where it will be used and the people who will be in it before making any decision.

Land Reform: Land of Bondage Land of the Free

One of the most moving speeches that I've read. During grade school, this was the most often recited elocution piece in my school. Here it is, the text of Raul Manglapus' Land of Bondage, Land of the Free. Land of Bondage, Land of the Free By Raul Manglapus And yet, ladies and gentlemen, the tao is constitutionally free! No wonder, then, that the tao being a slave has acquired the habits of a slave. No wonder that after three centuries in chains, without freedom, without hope, he should lose the erect and fearless posture of a freeman, and become the bent, misshapen, indolent, vicious, pitiful thing that he is! Who dares accuse him now? Who dares rise up in judgement against this man, reduced to this subhuman level by three centuries of oppession? Ladies and gentlemen the tao does not come here tonight to be judged -- but to judge! Hear then his accusation and his sentence: I indict the Spanish encomendero for inventing taxes impossible to pay! I indict the usurer for s

DOHA Round Updates & Preferential Tariffs in Practice

T he DOHA round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations intends to promote the opening of markets and promoting free trade. This April, the latest meeting failed to reach a conclusion. Director-General Pascal Lamy of the World Trade Organization delivered a speech before the US Chamber of Commerce on April 23, 2007. Here are excerpts from his speech. "T oday we know that the Doha Development Round will not be concluded until and unless all these participants are ready to walk the extra mile and table additional contributions to the collective success of this multilateral enterprise. It is clear that the contributions will be linked to the degree of development and wealth of each participant, with the world poorest countries making the smallest contribution. It is also clear that no one will be asked to move first: countries will have to move in concert, like a big orchestra playing to the same tune. For the moment, a group of major actors — the EU, US, Brazil, India — d
