Management Perspectives: Problems with maintenance
http://ndarala.blogspot.com/2011/02/problems-with-maintenance.html
Tuesday, February 15, 2011. I had hoped that Paul Barratt. As a former head of the Australian Department of Defence would comment on this one. However, while he has tweeted on it, he has so far not said anything substantive. The Australian Navy faces a problem. Let me illustrate with two Australian examples. Or take the University of New England. There funding cut-backs led the University to divert money from building maintenance to other activities. The university now faces a a huge bill for bac...As ma...

Management Perspectives: February 2011
http://ndarala.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 17, 2011. Management Perspectives merges with Managing the Professional Services Firm. Note to readers: I have left this post up for reference purposes, but posting on this blog has resumed! I have been mulling over how best to maintain my professional blogging. I have found it increasingly difficult to maintain two professional blogs with any semblance of regular posting. After a lot of thought, I have decided to merge this blog with Managing the Professional Services Firm. When funds...

Painting Fakes: May 2015
https://paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
I submit that the ultimate religious question today should no longer be the sixteenth-century Reformation's query, 'How can I find a gracious God? But rather, 'How can we find God in our enemies? Saturday, 23 May 2015. The Art of Scapegoating. I'm sure all my readers will at least think they are familiar with the art of scapegoating. Then use the resulting unrest as an excuse to delay further democratization. The trouble is, we keep doing it wrong. The original idea of the scapegoat comes from the Hebrew...

Painting Fakes: June 2015

I submit that the ultimate religious question today should no longer be the sixteenth-century Reformation's query, 'How can I find a gracious God? But rather, 'How can we find God in our enemies? Friday, 26 June 2015. So, I've been too busy to blog lately and it has taken a real piece of political idiocy to draw me out of my cave. No, it's not the controversy about Zaky Mallah and Q&A, although it's related. Zaky Mallah. The government's subsequent outrage at the ABC appears to be about Mallah, but is re...

I submit that the ultimate religious question today should no longer be the sixteenth-century Reformation's query, 'How can I find a gracious God? But rather, 'How can we find God in our enemies? Friday, 24 October 2014. Capital in the 21st Century. Some of last week's thoughts about privatisation. Were prompted by reading French economist Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century,. Passed on to me by my generous cousin Michael. This book is essential reading. Piketty's foil, in an intellectua...

I submit that the ultimate religious question today should no longer be the sixteenth-century Reformation's query, 'How can I find a gracious God? But rather, 'How can we find God in our enemies? Friday, 31 July 2015. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I'm late to the party as usual but I've just finished reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,. Originally published in 2005, thanks to a tip-off from my clever niece Alisha . How can we see this event in perspective? Since thi...

Painting Fakes: Resurrection 2: Meaning
https://paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2015/07/resurrection-2-meaning.html
I submit that the ultimate religious question today should no longer be the sixteenth-century Reformation's query, 'How can I find a gracious God? But rather, 'How can we find God in our enemies? Sunday, 26 July 2015. The important thing about Jesus' miracles is not their factuality but their meaning. Jesus' miracles illustrate and reinforce his teaching about the Kingdom of God. The same goes for the resurrection. Having summarised what I think the resurrection stories are describing. A number of the se...

Painting Fakes: November 2014

I submit that the ultimate religious question today should no longer be the sixteenth-century Reformation's query, 'How can I find a gracious God? But rather, 'How can we find God in our enemies? Friday, 21 November 2014. Denial in the Saudi Arabia of Coal. Australia's current little piece of political theatre, aside from the lunatic fringe festival that is the Palmer United Party, is provided by the fall-out from Barack Obama's speech at the University of Queensland during the G20. Found "the reef to be...

I submit that the ultimate religious question today should no longer be the sixteenth-century Reformation's query, 'How can I find a gracious God? But rather, 'How can we find God in our enemies? Friday, 21 August 2015. If you read this blog from time to time you'll know that I'm a big fan of Bruce Cockburn. So you won't be surprised to hear that I was very excited about the publication of his memoir, Rumours of Glory,. Which hit the shelves in late 2014. I read Rumours of Glory. In the Falling Dark.

Painting Fakes: Resurrection 1: Evidence
https://paintingfakes.blogspot.com/2015/07/resurrection-1-evidence.html
I submit that the ultimate religious question today should no longer be the sixteenth-century Reformation's query, 'How can I find a gracious God? But rather, 'How can we find God in our enemies? Sunday, 26 July 2015. A while ago I wrote a series of posts. Not sure, I don't dismiss them but I hold their factuality relatively lightly. Will look at what it meant for the early Christians. Said it, or when Frank Morrison or Josh McDowell laid out the proofs one by one. Conservative Christians are still at it...
