There is no refuting the fact that the triumph of a business in the end comes down to the dedicated work of the workforce, however one disaster can promptly wipe out your efforts and reduce the revenue to zero. In order to steer clear of such an occasion, you should insure your organisation, whether it’s a small firm or a large corporation. Nevertheless, please bear in mind that smaller organisations are considerably more likely to need business insurance protection in today’s hard world. This is generally as smaller organisation owners will have placed their entire lives and pay into the firm.

A couple of the topics usually guarded by most business insurance covers include: natural tragedies, hurricanes, mechanism or equipment fault that closes down the organisation, loss of income attributed to staff slip-up & litigation brought against the company.

There are a lot of insurance organisations, which provide covers that include protection for all chief property and legal risks in one big package. You can also select a separate cover. Such a policy is frequently branded as a business owners’ policy (BOP). Larger organisations might purchase a business-related policy cover.

BOPs consist of property insurance for property and tools owned by the company. If there is any loss of profits as a result of disruption of systems and business because of catastrophes like avalanches, it can be covered under the Business Interruption policy.

There are policies, which cover the organisation’s legal blame for the injury it may well inflict to others. It’s the effect your businesses failure to do the business operations. It can also be the bodily injury or property damage caused through defective products, faulty installations & slips in services provided. Get a public liability insurance quote online.

But, BOPs don’t protect against professional liability, motor cover, staff re-payment or health and disability cover. With this in mind, separate insurance policies are necessary for professional services, commercial vehicles and workers. As a rule, floods, earthquakes and terrorist attacks are not protected in the business policy. Always check before you acquire a policy!

I really like Jack Dempsey’s great one liner: “A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t.”

It summarises, as powerfully and as swiftly as one of his explosive left hooks, the spirit of anyone who refuses to accept limitations and defeat whether they are a boxer or not.

I just quoted the line on the phone to my brother who is temporarily floored by the problem of switching off his new scanner! Dempsey might well have ’solved’ the problem by smashing the scanner with a powerful punch.

At times, Dempsey fought from ‘pure rage’ although he also had great skill. He did not waste time in a fight but just attacked with intent.

Dempsey was born in Manassa, Colorado in 1895, the 9th of 11 children. The small hut in which his family lived is preserved there to this day. A guide book describes the extensive inspiration people gain from his life: “The people in Manassa still celebrate his greatness, which stimulates them to succeed on their own in many professions, especially the medical.”

He left home at the age of 16 and learned to survive in the mining towns of the West. He had many successful fights and started boxing professionally in 1914. He knocked out the giant Jess Willard in 1919 to win the Heavyweight boxing title. Dempsey was a skilled but ferocious fighter. He didn’t believe in sounding out his opponent. Willard was knocked down 7 times in the first round.

Dempsey also had a great champion’s one liner for dealing with big men: “Tall men come down to my height when I hit ‘em in the body.” Dempsey was five inches shorter and 58 pounds lighter than the 6-foot-6, 245-pound champion, Jess Willard. But on July 4, 1919, under the scorching sun in Toledo, Ohio, Dempsey broke Willard’s jaw with one of his first punches, an explosive left hook.

He knocked Willard down seven times in the first round and walloped him for two more rounds. When Willard didn’t come out for the fourth round, he had four teeth missing, his eyes were closed, his nose was smashed and two ribs were cracked.For good measure,he still had the broken jaw from round one.

Dempsey did not believe in half measures. Pulitzer Prize winner Red Smith described Dempsey in the ring vividly: “In the ring, he was a tiger without mercy who shuffled forward in a bobbing crouch, humming a barely audible tune and punching to the rhythm of the song. He was 187 pounds of unbridled violence. This isn’t big by heavyweight standards, yet in the judgment of some, this black-browed product of Western mining camps and hobo jungles was the best of all pugilists.”

Dempsey defended his title twice in 1920 and then, in 1921, knocked out Georges Carpentier, the French light-heavyweight champion, in the fourth round. In 1923 he had a mighty brawl with challenger, Luis Firpo, a 216-pounder from Argentina who was called “the Wild Bull of the Pampas.”

Firpo’s first punch was a powerful right to the jaw that put the champ down. Dempsey jumped off the canvas before a count could be started and went on to knock down Firpo seven times.

Before the first round ended, an angry Firpo threw a right that sent Dempsey through the ropes and onto a sportswriter’s typewriter. The writer and another man helped the champ return to the ring before the count of 10. I’m not sure what happened to the typewriter. This is the stuff that films like ‘Rocky’ are made of!

Perhaps Dempsey was thinking of this incident when he wrote: “A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t.” In Round 2, Dempsey scored two more knockdowns The second knockdown ended the bout after 3 minutes and 57 seconds of non-stop action. No wonder his fights were popular!

Dempsey took the next three years off and fought only a few exhibitions. When he returned on Sept. 23, 1926, the quicker Tunney, the marine, carved up the champ’s face. Dempsey kept his sense of humour. Returning home to his wife Estelle after the defeat, he confessed: “Honey, I forgot to duck!”

Before the Tunney rematch, Dempsey fought Jack Sharkey. When Sharkey complained to the referee in the seventh round that Dempsey was hitting low, Dempsey unloaded a left hook on Sharkey’s exposed chin. The fight was over. When asked why he threw the punch when Sharkey wasn’t looking, Dempsey said, “What was I supposed to do — write him a letter?”

Dempsey’s return match with Tunney drew a gate of $2,658,660 (about $22 million in today’s dollars) at Chicago’s Soldier Field on Sept. 22, 1927 Tunney controlled the first six rounds, but in the seventh a typical blitz from Dempsey floored Tunney.

The timekeeper began his count. The referee, Dave Barry, pointed Dempsey to a neutral corner but Dempsey ignored him and went to his own corner, a few feet behind Tunney. Barry pointed again to the neutral corner and at the count of three, Dempsey started there, arriving about two seconds later. The timekeeper was at five when Barry turned to Tunney. But instead of picking up that count in unison with the timekeeper, Barry called out, “One.”

So began the Long Count. At Barry’s count of four, Tunney looked up at the referee. When the count reached nine, Tunney, pulled himself to his feet. He had been down about 14 seconds. Perhaps Dempsey was thinking of this incident more than the one when he was knocked out of the ring when he wrote: “A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t.”

Tunney ran from Dempsey for the rest of the round. In the eighth, he floored Dempsey, and then went on to dominate the last two rounds to win easily. After the fight, Dempsey lifted Tunney’s arm in salute and said, “You were best. You fought a smart fight, kid.” That was Dempsey’s last bout. He retired with a 64-6-9 record, according to The Ring magazine.

Later, he was knocked down with another kind of blow. He lost about $3 million in the stock market crash. But like a true champion he got off the floor again to become one of the most popular restaurant owners in New York. On May 31, 1983, he died of natural causes at the age of 87.

Dempsey was a great champion. He would bounce back after knock out blows both in boxing and in life. He kept his sense of humour and was gracious in defeat. He is an inspiration not only to the people of Manassa and the USA but to the people of the world.

Direct Answers - Column for the week of March 24, 2003

My final divorce papers sit in front of me waiting for my signature. In fact, they’ve been sitting on my desk for five days now. It took me two days to even open the envelope and another full day to look at the actual documents. I still haven’t entirely read through them. I cannot bring myself to sign.

Eight months ago, after months of emotional turmoil, we both agreed a divorce would be in our best interest. I was relieved at the time. I was tired of him drinking every night until he passed out on the sofa. I was tired of feeling belittled. I never quite healed from the affair I found out about, and I know there were others.

We were married eight years. I never felt I was his partner in life. I felt I was just another piece of furniture. We have two beautiful little boys who adore their daddy. They were a big reason for wanting this divorce. I didn’t want them growing up thinking drinking on a daily basis is normal.

For years I wanted counseling. I would plead, “Let’s go before our problems get out of control!” He insisted we didn’t have anything we couldn’t handle. By the time we made it to counseling it was too late. Besides, he refused to say he had an addiction.

I tell myself if he truly reaches out for help and remains changed for a year after our divorce, maybe we could try with a fresh start.

I heard a preacher say, “Fidelity is more than sexual fidelity. It is when every decision you make during the day is the best one for yourself, your spouse, and your children.” Wayne and Tamara, that’s the only relationship I want.

The papers still sit in front of me. How do I know I’m doing the right thing?

Felicity

Felicity, what you are facing is the death of a dream, the dream of what your marriage was supposed to be like.

Faced with the choice of drinking or losing his family, your husband continues to drink. You may have every reason to hope he will change, but you have absolutely no reason to believe he will change.

Boys look to their father to show them how to be a man, and a drunk is someone who has clearly lost the way. Courts and the law have a simple view of the matter. They don’t knowingly allow a child to be adopted in a family where one parent is an alcoholic. There are laws against drinking and driving. Perhaps there should be laws against drinking and parenting.

You cannot focus on your husband sobering up. That has always been only under his power, and never under yours. He may be 20 years from admitting his problem. He may never admit it. You can’t put your life on hold waiting for someone to do what they may never do.

Tamara says she cannot even shop without having me in her mind. “Everything I lay my eyes upon,” she says, “I lay my heart upon where lives my husband.” Your mate has to be an enhancement to your life. It cannot be any other way.

Wayne

Geronimo!

I’m a 19-year-old male from Liverpool, England. I’m a decent looking lad, but since I broke up from my first serious relationship, I haven’t met anyone else. Can you give me advice on meeting girls and actually asking them out?

Gunther

Gunther, are you putting out vibes you are pining for your ex? Out with the old and in with the new.

Look around and start asking…to movies, to lunch, to a bookstore, to whatever you fancy. Follow your own interests and what you have a passion for, and remember this is not like school, where one grade follows another. Love doesn’t follow anyone’s schedule, and that is why it is so wonderful.
