–If anyone has difficulty understanding the current world financial situation, the following should help….

Once upon a time in a village in India, a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10.

The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Dubai may need help from Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates government to finance a surge in borrowing that paid for the world’s tallest tower, palm tree- shaped man-made islands and stakes in banks worldwide.

Dubai’s “potential reliance” will be “most significant” in coming years, Moody’s Investors Service said in a report today. Government-controlled companies owe at least $47 billion, more than Dubai’s gross domestic product, and they will continue to accumulate debt at a faster pace than the economy grows, the New York-based rating firm said.

Dear Toastmasters,

During this Toastmaster Quarter, 3 clubs in our Area-55 celebrated their 50th Meeting.

Kera, Spectrum and Inner Universe Toastmasters.

Congratulations to the Golden Area-55 !

The celebration of the 50th has its origin from Hebrew scripture. God rested on the 7th day after creation; Hence the year that comes after 7 times 7 years ie. 49 years or 7 Sabbath years was observed for perfect rest and liberty. “And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land…” (Leviticus 25). Debts were to be written off and slaves were to be freed. The word Jubilee comes from the word ‘Yobel’ meaning ram’s horn. A ceremonial blowing inaugurated the Jubilee.
