1). Cockney Rhyming Slang By : J Square Humboldt
Sir Winston Churchill once observed that Americans and the British are 'a common people divided by a common language' ... Never was that as true as when describing the Cockneys. You've certainly heard their accent, made famous in everything from movies based on Dickens and George Bernard Shaw novels to computer-generated gekkos telling real gekkos how to go forth and sell car insurance.

2). Dinar Quagmire By : J Square Humboldt
Online speculation regarding the 'investment opportunity' the new Iraqi Dinar represents is becoming a virtual cottage industry ... However,I'm already on record as believing it's a great way to acquire wallpaper one note at a time. With that in mind, I've noticed that a recent statement from the USA government has announced that they've 'hit the wall' budgetarily in Iraq; they've given enough financial aid to rebuild Iraq.

3). DXCafés: The New E-conomy Is Coming By : J Square Humboldt
It seems they've been busy on the isle of Vanuatu ... That's where a company called Global Digital Transfers Inc ('GDT') placed their headquarters for DXinOne, the e-currency exchange system that is the main topic on Longer Life's Opportunity page. Since I last looked at the DXiO website, I've seen a number of new developments there, featuring services from travel to advertising with earnings and payments tendered by their unique coin of the cyber-realm, the digot.

4). Virus Strains By : J Square Humboldt
What we need is the Dewey Decimal System to go digital ... Specifically, someone needs to coax their keepers into putting some logical order into how computer viruses are sorted. Recently, warnings abounded about the Kama Sutra virus quickly proliferating cyberspace, joining the Grew.A and Nyxem.E as serious threats to computer file security. However, only those who took a closer look at these strains were able to discover that they all had something in common.

5). FBI Raids: Pertinent or Paranoid? By : J Square Humboldt
Business always moves faster than government ... It's no surprise that a great deal of lawmakers' time is spent reacting to advances in commerce and science. It's also no surprise that one of their favorite tactics is to call on their enforcement agencies to bring scrutiny against any topic about which they're struggling to understand. We're now seeing this applied against at least two e-currency operations.

6). Misspelled Scriptures By : J Square Humboldt
One way to confirm that cyberspace is the great equalizer is to observe the quality of editing that exists ... I am truly amazed at the mangling endured by the English language on a significant number of sites. It's fair to assume that this malady has its roots in short attention spans during the school years. As a result, accuracy is often the first victim of poor spelling and grammar.

7). Chain of Fools By : J Square Humboldt
It seems the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval has been replaced by Oprah Winfrey when it comes to a validation of credibility ... Having said that, if I'm not mistaken, all the former ever meant was that the product or service in question paid to advertise in Good Housekeeping magazine. Still, in the vast anonymity of the cybermarket, a claim of credibility is vital to those who wish to convince us to send them money.

8). Modern Wonders By : J Square Humboldt
Apparently, it's time to turn the page on the original Seven Wonders of the World ... Since only one of them is left standing, and since most people can't remember what the rest of them are, anyway, this is a good idea for someone who has too much time on their hands and the ability to raise money. In this instance, that would narrow the candidates down to one Bernard Weber.

9). The Game Is the Name By : J Square Humboldt
Shakespeare could wax poetic about 'What's in a Name?' because he didn't have to contend with sports mascots ... It's the politically-correct issue in America that refuses to subside. I consider myself to be an enlightened cyberbeing, but I contend there are just some topics that blur the bigger picture of an ethically responsible society, and complaining that mascots can be degrading is near the top of the list.

10). Traffic Tracking Satellites Are Here By : J Square Humboldt
Space-age technology has given us a number of modern mainstays ... Now, it's about to give us a traffic ticket. Satellite tracking has come to the highways. The United Arab Emirates has begun the process of deploying 700,000 black boxes in their citizens' vehicles for the purpose of tracking them to collect roadway tolls and, when necessary, citing speeders.

11). Beer Through the Years By : J Square Humboldt
No one really knows exactly how the first beer came into being ... Suffice it to say that, around 10,000 years ago, somebody let a primordial barley and hop concoction stand long enough for it to ferment. The result not only made anonymous history, it was the genesis of beer's own special influence throughout the ages. Here are a few examples of note: It was the accepted practice in Babylonia, as early as 4000 years ago, that for a month after a wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink.

12). Viking Trekkies By : J Square Humboldt
History weaves its influence into pop culture via many avenues ... One of the strangest is the Viking influence on Star Trek, especially The Next Generation. Ever since that series found the airwaves, I've often wondered if one or more of its writers were descended from peoples who endured raids from the North and then used this show to exact their version of revenge.

13). Cashing the Czech By : J Square Humboldt
Whether Robert Maxwell committed suicide or was murdered may never be known to the public ... Suffice it to say the disgraced publishing magnate cheated so many people and financial institutions to such an extent that there wouldn't be a paucity of suspects if it was the latter. Born in Slatinske Dňly to poor parents as Jan Ludvick Hoch and Anglicizing his name when he migrated to Great Britain during World War II, Maxwell used the fog of combat to his advantage, picking off a scientific journal distributorship at a bargain rate.

14). Online Purchase Parameters Fortified and Simplified By : J Square Humboldt
An interesting ruling was made in the British Court of Appeals recently ... The justices determined that British customers who use a credit card abroad or on the internet will be given the same protection as those who shop in Britain. This decision allows purchasers to reclaim funds from their card company if the product they buy is faulty or does not arrive.

15). Compromised Positions By : J Square Humboldt
There is no denying that the sports business these days is awash in bright lights ... Quite often, though, the same can't be said for the people or practices involved. The passage of time, the fading of origins and the constant superseding of slang can combine to cause some curious contemporary contexts. To start, have you ever really thought about.

16). Rock-&-Roll Surrogate By : J Square Humboldt
Years ago, upon my first-ever arrival in Paris, there was no doubt as to where I would begin my itinerary ... I went immediately to the Pčre Lachaise cemetery. That's the final resting place of such luminaries as Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Sarah Berhhardt and Chopin. If I had been there during daylight, I'm sure I would have taken my time to pay my respects to each of them and others.

17). Strange Exchange By : J Square Humboldt
Just when you think the sports world has produced every possible bizarre trade imaginable, they still manage to top themselves ... A broadcaster for a rabbit. And a cartoon rabbit, at that. When baseball journeyman Harry Chiti got dealt to the New York Mets for a player to be named later, little did he know that player would be him. The Chicago Cubs could spare a backup catcher during the early season, and apparently, the Mets saw enough of Chiti afterward.

18). The World's Coolest FranchIce By : J Square Humboldt
Samuel Johnson said it almost 300 years ago, and I still believe it today ... "If you're tired of London, you're tired of life." I enjoy many locations around the world, but none so much as London. It's the center of civilization, as far as I'm concerned. If something is 'happening' there, then it's worth taking note. That's why I was quite impressed to see the IceBar had set up shop on Heddon Street.

19). Ur bin Legend By : J Square Humboldt
I may be repulsed at the deeds orchestrated by Osama bin Laden ... But I'm even more repulsed at the ineptitude displayed in the attempts to stop him and his cause. I mean, the guy's a murderous criminal. He's an anti-Muslim, as any credible scholar of the Koran would attest. He's been disowned by his family and disavowed by the country of his birth.

20). Eternal Wit By : J Square Humboldt
Whoever said, "You can't take it with you" was obviously not referring to a sense of humor ... Here is a list of actual epitaphs from departed souls who clearly had more to say than the time to say it, or from their next of kin, who wanted to be sure they literally had the last word: On the grave of Ezekial Aikle in East Dalhousie Cemetery, Nova Scotia: Here lies Ezekial Aikle Age 102 The Good Die Young.

21). Niche Jerk By : J Square Humboldt
Here is the first rule anyone learns who is even remotely concerned with marketing ... "Sell the sizzle and not the steak." In other words, an appeal to what excites the consumer is much more effective than the properties of the product. This is not necessarily deceptive. In many cases, products can be so similar that the only real difference among them is in their perception, ie- 'sizzle,' by the public.

22). Fuel for Thought By : J Square Humboldt
I see the following call to arms over high gas prices in the USA is making the rounds again ... Here's a message I received recently from someone I know, who felt the need to transmit it to their entire e-mail address book: GAS WAR-- An Idea "This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton.

23). Hidden Riches By : J Square Humboldt
From a historical perspective, 'The DaVinci Code' is good fiction ... I do think the book has provided a very real cultural benefit, though. By weaving many tales of medieval Christian mysticism into its story line, the book has stimulated a multitude of readers to look beyond the veneer of printed words in search of higher meanings. This is good, because both literature and history contain them in abundance.

24). Phishing with a Net By : J Square Humboldt
When geeks gave us the Internet and the means to use it, they also gave us a new segment of vocabulary ... I've often thought it a shame that a few of them didn't make their way to a campus literature or marketing department and see if a student of poetry or sizzle could assist them in assigning names to their innovations. For example, did the manual cursor operator have to be called a 'mouse?' Geeks have overtaken sports-speakers when it comes to coining bad phrases.

25). Katrina Cash Crisis Continues By : J Square Humboldt
The need to continue giving aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina must remain a priority ... It's now months after the American Gulf Coast was devastated. Billions have been spent in relief, but billions more are needed. Such is the scope of a storm that ranks among the most severe in modern North American history. To this day, residents' lives are still wrecked.
