1056 Israel Faces Volleys Of Iranian Counter-Strikes: Iran Retaliates  

2 Mar 2026 Iran is retaliating against Israel and its allies in the American-Israeli war, launching missile and drone strikes on military and civilian targets. Iran has targeted Israel’s government, security, and military centres, as well as Arab Gulf monarchies allied with the US, including US bases in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait. The conflict has also extended to a British military base in Cyprus and oil refineries in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. 

The Iranian ambassador to the UN claims the Natanz nuclear facility was hit during US-Israeli strikes, but the IAEA chief lacks confirmation due to a lack of communication with Iran. The Iranian assembly of experts has formed a transitional leadership council, comprising the Iranian president, the justice chief, and a representative from the assembly, to assume the responsibilities of the supreme leader. Ali Rosa Arafi, a member of this council, is a potential successor, though he lacks the political background of his predecessor.

CRM Problems

-
Image
I dug out some depressing numbers from the CRM world: only 30% of companies with a CRM implementation feel that they've had a positive return on their investment. Mostly, the issues are not technical ones (it's not that hard to get the software installed and some superficial training completed). But there are some similarities with many IT projects: Lack of agreed goals and business case "Fail to plan, plan to fail" is the old saw that is daily proved true. I've seen clients invest in new hardware and software for the wrong reasons. (Last year, one IT department wanted to buy new software to secure training for the existing team in an attempt to secure their jobs and enhance their CVs...) Resist the temptation to launch into a new technology implementation without knowing realistically what you expect to get out of it. Difficulties with customization and integration with existing systems "No man is an island..." proves even more true of IT systems. V...

What are the signs of the End Times?

EN  English ( FR IT PT SP ) What are the signs of the End Times? In Matthew 24:3 the disciples ask Jesus to tell them “what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” The phrase “the end of the age” seems to refer to the coming of Christ with His church at the end of the period of tribulation. Many of us expect that, before the tribulation starts, Christ will return for His church in what is called “ the rapture ”.   *ALERT* The rapture is imminent   Remember, when Jesus says, “No one knows about the day or the hour…” He is referring to his coming at the end of the age, not to the rapture. ( More ) The rapture can take place at any time (so  we need to be ready now ): none of the following signs is necessary to be completed before the rapture can take place; but the presence of the signs does indicate that the time for the rapture is getting closer. And, individually, none of us is guaranteed tomorrow; so  we should be ready...

Experiencing a personality profile

-
Image
They labelled me a “Directing Motivator” - Apparently that means I’m Results focused, decisive and assertive; combined with drive, enthusiasm and positive thinking. We had about forty of us (Executive Leadership Team, regional directors, their reports and some “heads of” from business central operations) go through the Insights Discovery process. It’s probably the most accurate personality profiling tool I’ve yet experienced: almost uncannily accurate, not just for me but most of the others. Mike is a good people manager because he has the ability to see what may lie ahead and then communicate his vision to others. His natural intuition, fed by a drive to discover, brings with it the readiness to work long and hard in the pursuit of an ongoing dream.  Mike is seen by others as pragmatic, dependable and able to get things done.  He exhibits an infectious enthusiasm for living.  Curious and alert, Mike  prefers to understand rather than judge.  He is ...
