Is it Finally Over?

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

One item I noticed in the news today was that the war in Sri Lanka may finally be over. The Sri Lankan government forces have finally delivered a decisive defeat to the Tamil Tigers who have been fighting for a separate state for so long. There is still some mopping up to do with the last of the guerrillas who are still fighting. The world is celebrating this victory as a defeat for terrorist.

One of the messy parts of war is the large number of refugees who have been displaced from their homes. In recent months over 250,000 civilians have fled the fighting, this has led to a major concern for their safety and welfare. I am glad to hear that this war may be near its end. This war has lasted for over 25 years and caused many deaths and much destruction. I hope the two sides will be able to put aside their differences and begin the healing process.

Just Starting Out

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

When my friend James was considering starting his online business, he had a lot of questions. After he turned to me for help, I tried to steer him onto the right path. James has been dealing in books all his life. He is very knowledgeable about a wide variety of books and their value. Since he has amassed all this information, he has decided to start an online book store.

The biggest problem that James has is that he knows next to nothing about how to start the website he wants. I informed him that he would need to find a domain name and it would be wise to find a company to provide dedicated server hosting. I told him about the site that I used to select my web hosting when I started my business. It’s called webhostinggeeks.com. They allow you to select the proper web hosting service for you. They have already done the hard work of comparing the sites make it easy for you to choose the correct one.

James was very satisfied with my expertise and took advantage of the site right away. He now is the proud owner of a brand new online business and has had no problem with the unexpected heavy traffic his site encountered. I was glad to be able to help my friend and it looks like another happy ending!
