Warren Buffet - Simplicity

2011-07-01T05:06:00.000-07:00

The 3rd Richest man in the world stays in a five bedroom house brought in 1958 and that today is valued at around USD 700,000 (although this works out to Rs 3.5 crore if we take the current exchange rates).

With over $50 Billion in wealth, he still stays in a 53-year-old house that too with "just" five bedrooms. He surely must be bluffing about his wealth, because, we know for sure he is not bluffing about the house! Or is he? Well not at all. His known public wealth is 50 billion dollars and growing.

His logic is simple: An extra ten rooms in the house is not going to create any major difference to him. However, the same money if invested rightly (of which he is a master) can be made to grow to probably ten times the same amount.

The fundamental is to make sure we give priority to the needs and minimize the wants.

Negative Aspects of Interviews

2011-03-04T03:58:00.000-08:00

Attending an interview in the right time is very important to get a job. Going to interview late is creating bad impression on you. We know about famous proverb 'First impression is the best impression' it definitely applicable to this interview session.But when you are going late will create bad opinion.

Getting a job is not difficult but negative aspects leads to interview rejection.If you are going to interview without any rehearsal which leads to negative aspect.When you are going to attend an interviewwithout knowing the company profile and job description.It also a negative remark for you.

Some points:

No Proper Timing: If you are going to interview for our convenient time is not appreciable. You will create bad impression on your timing,then how can you impress the new employer. First of all,timing plays a major role in the interview schedule.There is no other way to satisfy your new employer with your educational qualification or degree score.

No respect to the interviewer: When you are facing the interview, no formal wish to the interview and saying thank you.Not giving respect and talking like a friend which leads to negative aspect during interview

Talking bad things about the previous employer: When you have experience,you need to tell about your previous employer.If you are sharing only negative points about the last employer,it surely leads to bad impression on you.Many of the interviewee donot know how to handle theinterview and sharing all the points with the other employer.

Attending mobile phone: In the interview, answering your mobile phone is not recommended by consultant.Talking unnecessary things through cell phone and loose talk with your friends/relatives during interview panel or sending mail through mobile.

No formal dress: The interviewer checks our dressing sense and attending an interview in casual wear is not suitable.No one know much about the interview type and how to dress for an interview.Wearing jeans, t shirt are not recommended for an interview,costly ornament and sexy clothes are also not applicable.It will create bad image on us.

Inappropriate resume: No one suggest you to attend the interview without knowing about the company and job profile.Some of the interview is not suitable for your education background and job nature. We would not recommend you to attend which leads to rejection or lack of interest on that job

Lack in confident: The candidate who dont have confident or less confident are not able to get a job after their higher studies.If any one do like this,he / she can able to attend manyinterviewsbut not able to get a single job or will not work for long term.

Poor motivation: Few of the candidates dont have good motivational skills,then he or she has no enough skills to face the interview or may under estimate about them or job profile. If you are going to attend an interview with less confident,then you will succeed in that interview.

These are some mistakes which the candidate usually do in the interview panel. If you do like this, you are rejected soon or not eligible to get a job

How To Export ?

2011-02-02T02:27:00.000-08:00

Initially to select a name for the Company and it is to be decided whether it is a

Proprietor concern -- Single owner/Proprietor.

Partnership concern - Two or more partners in a firm.

Limited Company - Two categories viz., private Limited company or Public Limited company.

Private limited company is owned privately by a small group of people such as a family. They are not allowed to offer shares (in the company) to the general public and can function just as director.

Public limited company is owned by public share holders and they are allowed to offer shares of the Company in the market.

Next step in Export is to Open a Bank account:

Open a Current account in the name of the Company from a reputed Bank .Current a/c is opened by people who are engaged in trades, businesses. Current account is a bank deposit that can be withdrawn by the depositor at any time,and he is at liberty to operate this account any number of times in a day unlike savings accounts, where only limited transactions are allowed. Current account bears no interest.

Madurai Vizha 2011

2011-02-02T00:30:00.001-08:00

My Experience:

I hope you all enjoyed our Madurai Vizha in Gandhi museum which was held on Jan 28 to 30th.It was totally focused on Cultural and Historical significance of Madurai.

We planned to visit that madurai vizha on friday, unfortunately we went there on jan 30th evening time.Before entering into that event we didnt expect this much of events and audience over there.There was a big crowd in the ticket counter, then we entered into unexpected crowd.When we entered we saw Iyyanar statue at the entrance,then we could find Terracotta,Wood carving,Basket weaving,Javvu Mittai and some of the displays like Antique jewellery, Photographs, Movie screenings, Hand printed textiles, Ethnic designs, Literature and Photos depicting Madurai’s history.There were many girls surrounded for Kili Josiyam.We didn't missed out the puppet show performance.Finally we attracted by one bold voice,that was Dr. Gnanasambandham Pattimandram and we spent some time over there.We missed some competitions like Cooking, Kolam drawing, Hair dressing, Essay writing,quiz and also Heritage talk,gold making,Poikkaal Kudhirai Dance and Oyilaattam.That was a good experience with my friends during weekend time.

We expect this Madurai Vizha for the upcoming years.

2011-01-25T05:03:00.001-08:00

When preparing a resume,we need to know about ourself first.Some job seekers don’t know how to frame the resume .Ask some support from your teacher or staff before you prepare a resume and attending a interview

Resume preparation plays a vital role in searching a job.The candidate may be fresher or experienced one but the resume must speak a lot rather than ourself.You must be clear about employment details.

Resume is essential thing before we go to walk in or any other interviews.As a fresher, we need to prepare a resume within one page.You need to specify your details within that limitation.

First of all,set a objective for your resume and then education,any achievements and personal details.Then list all your work experience details if you are in work.

Attractive resume will increase the ability of getting a job interview and other facility.A resume must contain objective,career summary and personal strengths.A resume must be in formal presentation and use Times Roman font and size to present better.Have some good idea and prepare your resume in formal way.

You should know the job profile before going for an interview so that we can change our resume based on the job nature.For example,you are going for management profile,you need to specify some managerial skills in the resume so we can attract our employer in the interview panel itself.

50 Interview Questions

2010-04-13T05:43:00.000-07:00

50 Common Interview Questions

1. Tell me about yourself:

The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present.

2. Why did you leave your last job?

Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co- workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward- looking reasons.

3. What experience do you have in this field?

Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.

4. Do you consider yourself successful?

You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are on track to achieve the others.

5. What do co-workers say about you?

Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific statement or a paraphrase will work. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith Company, always said I was the hardest workers she had ever known. It is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview herself.

6. What do you know about this organization?

This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?

7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?

Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.

8. Are you applying for other jobs?

Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is a distraction.

9. Why do you want to work for this organization?

This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term career goals.

10. Do you know anyone who works for us?

Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought of.

11. What kind of salary do you need?
A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like, That's a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.

12. Are you a team player?
You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready. Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag, just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.

13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired?

Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I'd like it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I'm doing a good job.

14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?

This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in force.

15. What is your philosophy towards work?

The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here. Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That's the type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a benefit to the organization.

16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?

Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it.

17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position?

If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying negative things about the people or organization involved.

18. Explain how you would be an asset to this organization.

You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best points as they relate to the position being discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.

19. Why should we hire you?

Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not mention any other candidates to make a comparison.

20. Tell me about a suggestion you have made.

Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work applied for is a real plus.

21. What irritates you about co-workers?

This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get along with folks is great.

22. What is your greatest strength?

Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples: Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability to work under pressure, Your ability to focus on projects, Your professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive attitude

23. Tell me about your dream job.

Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and can't wait to get to work.

24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?

Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.

25. What are you looking for in a job?

See answer # 23

26. What kind of person would you refuse to work with?

Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organization, violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will label you as a whiner.

27. What is more important to you: the money or the work?

Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is no better answer.

28. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?

There are numerous good possibilities:
Loyalty, Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise, Initiative, Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver

29. Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor.

Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.

30. What has disappointed you about a job?

Don't get trivial or negative. Safe areas are few but can include:
Not enough of a challenge. You were laid off in a reduction Company did not win a contract, which would have given you more responsibility.

31. Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.

You may say that you thrive under certain types of pressure. Give an example that relates to the type of position applied for.

32. Do your skills match this job or another job more closely?

Probably this one. Do not give fuel to the suspicion that you may want another job more than this one.

33. What motivates you to do your best on the job?

This is a personal trait that only you can say, but good examples are: Challenge, Achievement, Recognition

34. Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends?

This is up to you. Be totally honest.

35. How would you know you were successful on this job?

Several ways are good measures:
You set high standards for yourself and meet them. Your outcomes are a success.Your boss tell you that you are successful

36. Would you be willing to relocate if required?

You should be clear on this with your family prior to the interview if you think there is a chance it may come up. Do not say yes just to get the job if the real answer is no. This can create a lot of problems later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself uture grief.

37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead of your own?

This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.

38. Describe your management style.

Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive, salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions depending on which management expert you listen to. The situational style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the situation, instead of one size fits all.

39. What have you learned from mistakes on the job?

Here you have to come up with something or you strain credibility. Make it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive lesson learned. An example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a project and thus throwing coordination off.

40. Do you have any blind spots?

Trick question. If you know about blind spots, they are no longer blind spots. Do not reveal any personal areas of concern here. Let them do their own discovery on your bad points. Do not hand it to them.

41. If you were hiring a person for this job, what would you look for?

Be careful to mention traits that are needed and that you have.

42. Do you think you are overqualified for this position?

Regardless of your qualifications, state that you are very well qualified for the position.

43. How do you propose to compensate for your lack of experience?

First, if you have experience that the interviewer does not know about, bring that up: Then, point out (if true) that you are a hard working quick learner.

44. What qualities do you look for in a boss?

Be generic and positive. Safe qualities are knowledgeable, a sense of humor, fair, loyal to subordinates and holder of high standards. All bosses think they have these traits

45. Tell me about a time when you helped resolve a dispute between others.

Pick a specific incident. Concentrate on your problem solving technique and not the dispute you settled.

46. What position do you prefer on a team working on a project?

Be honest. If you are comfortable in different roles, point that out.

47. Describe your work ethic.

Emphasize benefits to the organization. Things like, determination to get the job done and work hard but enjoy your work are good.

48. What has been your biggest professional disappointment?

Be sure that you refer to something that was beyond your control. Show acceptance and no negative feelings.

49. Tell me about the most fun you have had on the job.

Talk about having fun by accomplishing something for the organization.

50. Do you have any questions for me?

Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist on? are examples.

History of Taj Mahal

2009-09-07T23:18:00.000-07:00

For centuries, the Taj Mahal has inspired poets, painters and musicians to try and capture its elusive magic in word, colour and song. It is one of the most flawless architectural creations of the world. Since the 17th century, travellers have crossed continents to come and see this ultimate memorial to love, and few have been unmoved by its incomparable beauty.

Taj Mahal stands in the city of Agra, in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, on the banks of the Yamuna River. It was built in the memory of the beautiful Arjumand Bano Begum, who won the heart of a Mughal prince. She was married at 21 to Emperor Jahangir’s third son Prince Khurram and stayed loyally by his side through good times and bad: in the luxurious royal palaces of Agra as well as the transient tents of war camps.

In AD 1628, Khurram became king after a bloody battle of succession: he took the name Shahjahan or “King of the World” and showered his beloved begum with the highest titles. She became Mumtaz Mahal, the exalted of the palace and Mumtaz-ul-Zamani, the exalted of the Age. But Mumtaz Mahal was not destined to be queen for long

In 1631, Shahjahan went on an expedition to the south and, as always, Mumtaz Mahal accompanied him. But she died in childbirth at Burhanpur. She had borne Shahjahan fourteen children, of whom four sons and three daughters survived. When Mumtaz Mahal died, she was just 39 years old. Shahjahan was inconsolable and contemporary chronicles tell of the royal court mourning for two years. there was no music, no feasting, and no celebration of any kind.

Epitome Of Love -Taj Mahal

Shahjahan, who was a passionate builder, now decided to erect a memorial to his queen in pristine marble that the world would never forget. The site selected for the tomb was a garden by the Yamuna river, unshadowed by any other structure. The garden had been laid by Raja Man Singh of Amber and now belonged to his grndson, Raja Jai Singh. By a royal firman, Shahjahan gave Jai Singh four havelis in exchange for the garden. The site was also chosen because it was located on a bend in the river, and so could be seen from Shahjahan’s personal palace in Agra Fort, further upstream.

Construction Of The Mausoleum - Taj Mahal

Work on the mausoleum began in 1633 and 20,000 workers laboured for 17 years to build it. The most skilled architects, inlay craftsmen, calligraphers, stone-carvers and masons came from all across Indian and lands as distant as Persia and Turkey. The master mason was from Baghdab, an expert in building the double dome from Persia, and an inlay specialist from Delhi.

Yemen sent agates, the corals came from Arabia, the garnets from Bundelkhand, onyx and amethyst from Persia. Mumtaz Mahal’s final resting-place was ornamented like a queen’s jewel-box.

Small Businesses wanted in Health

2009-07-29T01:39:00.000-07:00

A majority of New Hampshire small-business owners supports efforts at the federal level to reform the health-care system, according to a new survey. Small Business Majority, a nonprofit research organization, in partnership with New Hampshire Voices For Health, a state health advocacy group, polled 200 small-business owners in a random phone survey. They found that affordability was the top concern. According to those businesses surveyed, the majority — 52 percent — do not pay for any coverage for their employees, with 48 percent paying some part or all to their employees’ health insurance. Some 76 percent of businesses that offer health insurance for their employees said it puts a strain on their companies. And 84 percent of those that do not offer health care said cost is the main reason they don’t. Nearly 50 percent of Granite State small businesses said they want to seem some sort of reform to the current health-care system with responsibility shared by the government, individuals and the employers themselves. In addition, 63 percent of those surveyed said they believe the federal government should have a role in achieving reform. Some 68 percent said they want to reform the current system by holding employers, individuals and the government responsible in making healthcare more affordable. In contrast, 8 percent said they want to replace the current system with government-provided healthcare and only 16 percent want to leave things as they are with no government involvement. “Small-business owners aren't shirking their responsibility where health care is concerned,” said John Arensmeyer, founder and chief executive officer of Small Business Majority. “They feel a responsibility to provide health care for their employees and are willing to do their part in fixing our broken system.”

Bulgaria’s business climate

2009-07-29T01:27:00.000-07:00

In July 2009, the total business climate indicator decreased by 1.2 percentage points from June with industry and retail trade as the aggravating factors, the National Statistical Institute (NSI) said on July 28 2009, Bulgarian news agency BTA said. Variations in the positive direction of the business climate indicators were registered in the construction and services sectors in July. The month saw the composite business climate indicator in industry decrease by 4.3 percentage points from June, reaching an all-time nadir after an alr eady worsening trend.The decrease was due both to lowered managers' evaluations of the present business situation and to more pessimistic expectations about the next six months. The July business climate poll found decreased production activity of industrial enterprises, but the rate of decrease was lower than in the previous months. The order book of industrial enterprises (measured in number of months) dropped from 5.0 in April to 4.4 months in July. In 2008 the average order book was 5.9 months long. The average capacity utilization in industry continued to decrease, reaching 63.9 per cent in July. Its 2008 average was 74.9 per cent. Dnevnik said that managers in all four sectors were preparing to cut more staff in coming months. The industrial sector is suffered the severest pressure, seeing its business climate index tumbled by 4.3 per cent month-on-month to a seven-year low at 11 per cent. The outlook for the next half is as downbeat. Retail companies also consider the environment has deteriorated from a month before, dragging the index by 1.5 points as sales slipped deeper, spelling more trouble in the coming months, Dnevnik reported. Expectations that it had finally hit the bottom gave rise to a 2.4 point increase in the construction indicator. But while optimists in July outnumbered those in June, the NSI registered a drop in orders combined with an increase in delayed payments from customers. The services sector indicator also reflected upbeat expectations, going up by 1.6 points from June on the back of relatively better assessment of the current business environment, Dnevnik reported the NSI as saying. Assessment for demand in the past three months was also positive but the six-year outlook is negative.

Business of Ideas

2009-07-29T01:22:00.000-07:00

INNOVATION is a difficult-to-define and frequently illusive factor hotly pursued by most businesses. One common misconception is that innovation is tied closely to new technology, and resides solely in high-tech sectors, such as robotics and space exploration. Yet, the companies that fared well in the Best Employer Awards included not-for-profits that have little use for space-age technology. Insync Survey's WA state manager Tracie Dawson sums up an innovative employer as one with "an appetite in the leadership that is failure-tolerant".

Bank of America to branches

2009-07-29T01:13:00.000-07:00

Bank of America Corp. could eventually shrink its 6,100-branch network by about 10% as consumers use other methods of banking, a company spokesman said Tuesday. Bank of America spokesman James Mahoney made the comments when asked about a published report that bank executives described such a plan to investors. Bank of America became Michigan's largest bank based on deposits when it bought LaSalle Bank in 2007. The bank does not have a specific number of branches as a goal, Mahoney said. HEALTH CARE: Wellness Plan is financially rehabilitated. The Wellness Plan, a Detroit HMO under state control since 2003, has emerged from financial rehabilitation by an Ingham County judge, Michigan's health insurance commissioner said Tuesday. The company now is "positioned for success," said Ken Ross, commissioner of the Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation, in a statement. The HMO is part of an alliance with Wellness Plan Medical Centers, three federally funded clinics in metro Detroit.

RIL Dips in Trade

2009-07-29T00:17:00.000-07:00

Shares of RNRL on Wednesday surged nearly five per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange in the morning trade, a day after its Chairman Anil Ambani lashed out at the oil ministry and the Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries. However, Reliance Industries fell by 1.1 per cent to 1,889.05 per cent on BSE. RNRL continued its uptrend for the fifth consecutive trading day and rose by 4.83 per cent to Rs 86.70. It had opened at Rs 82.50. Launching an attack on the Petroleum Ministry, Anil Ambani told the RNRL shareholders at its AGM yesterday that "it is evident that the apparently biased stance commenced in 2006, coincided with the changes in the ministry". "I'm sure all private companies in India wish that if they make commercial decisions, they wish to get out of, they too had a saviour to help bail them out as in the case of RIL," he said. Reliance Industries scrip opened weak for the fourth consecutive trading session at Rs 1,900 on the BSE. Later it fell to Rs 1,889.05, down by 1.10 per cent over its previous closing price. Over 1.8 lakh shares of RIL changed hands, while more than 77.95 lakh shares of RNRL got traded on BSE.

HSBC Personal data loss fined

2009-07-23T02:36:00.000-07:00

Three HSBC firms have been fined more than £3m for failing to adequately protect customers' confidential details from being lost or stolen. The Financial Services Authority (FSA) said customer data had been lost in the post on two occasions. The firms concerned are HSBC Life UK, HSBC Actuaries and Consultants, and HSBC Insurance Brokers. HSBC said it regretted the breaches, adding that no customer had reported any loss from these failures. Lack of training The FSA said that all three firms had taken action to address the concerns raised. It said it had found that "large amounts" of unencrypted customer details had been sent via post or courier to third parties. Confidential information about customers was also found left on open shelves or in unlocked cabinets, the watchdog said. It added that staff had not been given sufficient training on how to identify and manage risks such as identity theft. Lost disks The FSA identified two instances where unencrypted data had been lost in the post. In April 2007, HSBC Actuaries lost a floppy disk containing the personal information of 1,917 pension scheme members, including addresses, dates of birth and national insurance numbers. And in February 2008, HSBC Life lost a CD containing the details of 180,000 policyholders.

Rethink your plans for retirement

2009-07-23T02:34:00.000-07:00

If the economic downturn has forced you to rethink your plans for retirement, it's a good idea to discuss your concerns with your spouse or partner. In many households, retirement is an even more contentious topic than politics, religion or whose turn it is to walk the dog. A study by Fidelity Investments found that more than 80 percent of couples disagree about a major component of their retirement planning, such as the age at which they plan to retire, whether they'll work in retirement or where they'll live after they retire. "People need to save more, and in order to do that they need more knowledge of their expenses and investments and together what they want out of their retirement," said Kathleen Murphy, president of Fidelity's personal investing unit. David Kay, a financial planner in Dayton, Ohio, said that among the couples he advises, one spouse usually assumes primary responsibility for the finances. "Generally, it's a result of personal preference," Kay said. "One of the two tends to be more interested in the financial dynamics of the family." The less-interested spouse, he adds, "is more than willing to pass on those duties. As a result, there isn't much conversation between the two individuals when it comes to retirement planning." Know your finances There's nothing wrong with playing to each other's strengths. If you're a gourmet cook and your spouse can't use the microwave without starting a fire, it makes sense for you to handle most of the meals. But both spouses should have a general understanding of family finances. Otherwise, if the spouse who manages the money dies or becomes disabled, the surviving spouse "will have some huge catching up to do," Kay said. The couples surveyed were aware of this problem: Only 15 percent said they were confident that one spouse could handle family finances if the other died.

Small business on health care

2009-07-22T00:12:00.000-07:00

A new survey reports one in four U.S. businesses with five or fewer employees offers health insurance, and 26 million of the 46 million uninsured people in the United States are small business employees, owners or dependents. The nonprofit, nonpartisan Colorado Public Interest Research Group announced survey results from 309 U.S. business owners Tuesday at news conferences in Grand Junction, Colorado Springs and Denver. Danny Katz, the director, said the research and advocacy group hopes survey results will spur changes in the health insurance sector, including:

• Tax credits for small businesses that offer coverage;
• Access to state and national insurance pools for small businesses;
•Insurance rate reform; and
• Reducing the overall cost of health care by rewarding good medical care, cutting spending, increasing competition and making preventative care a priority.
“They’ve all been proposed at some point, but the legislation is changing every day,” Katz said. “We want to raise them up and make sure they’re included.” The study found that 80 percent of small-business owners who do not offer health insurance coverage would like to but can’t afford it. Health insurance premiums for small businesses have gone up 113 percent in the past decade, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation & Health Research and Educational Trust. State Rep. Laura Bradford, R-Collbran, said at the news conference she wants government to “rein in frivolous lawsuits” against doctors, lower the cost of medical malpractice insurance, and make it less expensive for small businesses to purchase health coverage for their employees

Expertise by publishing a book

2009-07-21T23:58:00.000-07:00

Differentiating yourself from your competitors is a key to business success. There are all kinds of ways of doing that but one of the most powerful, challenging, and underutilized ways to create differentiation is to share your expertise by writing and publishing a book. Being a columnist is one thing, but actually writing a book is altogether another experience, and I've written and published several books so far. My latest book, "Job Search Marketing: Finding Job Opportunities in Any Economy," publishing Sept. 1, extends the reach of my marketing experience and insights within the context of job search. In this two-part series, we'll explore the reasons for taking up the book publishing challenge and ways to get it done. Let's cover some basics here first. # Every business area has the potential for book publishing. Most people think you have to be in a consulting business or have to be an established "guru" to write a book. The truth is, it doesn't matter what your business is — you already have expertise that a wider audience could us e to their benefit.# You can write a book. If you don't think you can, you won't. While everyone has the potential to write a book, most don't. Writing a book takes three essential things: discipline, organization and determination to see the process through. Any level of those three can put you on the track of sharing your expertise with the wider world. # How many times have you heard someone say, "Someday I'm going to write a book" about this or that? Or have you found yourself telling someone, "You should really write a book about that?" It has become a cliche of a vision or dream never fulfilled. And that is precisely your advantage. Chances are, your competitors won't publish a book. # Publishing puts you in what I call the "expert plus" category. You can certainly consider yourself an expert without publishing a book but because so few actually publish, it becomes a way to differentiate yourself from nonpublishing experts.

East London's Blue Lagoon Hotel the chance of Team

2009-07-21T23:41:00.000-07:00

A multimillion rand upgrade could give East London's Blue Lagoon Hotel the chance of hosting an international team during next year's 2010 Soccer World Cup. General manager Peter Gregersen said the hotel had received notification that it had been short-listed as a potential base camp facility for the 2010 tournament for one of the 32 competing teams. “We're the only East London hotel that was put forward as a potential host but will only know next year February if we've been successful,” he said. Gregersen said he was currently in negotiation with three international teams about one of them possibly using the hotel as a base camp. “I can't name them right now but I'm optimistic we'll get a team staying with us,” he said. “People don't realise it but East London has a lot of advantages; we're an hour and a half away from Johannesburg and Cape Town in terms of flying time and we've got excellent shopping, healthcare and training facilities located within five minutes of the hotel. “We've also got beautiful beaches and Nahoon River is literally on our doorstep.”

China and Australia Trade

2009-07-16T03:29:00.000-07:00

Australia and China traded warnings on Thursday over the Rio Tinto (RIO.L)(RIO.AX) spy case as the United States urged Beijing to ensure transparency and fair treatment for employees of foreign companies. Over a week after detaining an Australian Rio executive and three of his Chinese colleagues on allegations of spying in relation to sensitive iron ore price negotiations, China's Foreign Ministry warned Australia against "whipping up" the case. "We resolutely oppose anyone deliberately whipping up this case or trying to interfere in China's judicial independence," ministry spokesman Qin Gang told reporters. Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said he did not expect relations would be harmed by the case, but warned: "China itself does need to think about whether its handling of this matter has any adverse implications for it." The Rio detentions and general murkiness of state secret laws put foreign investors potentially at risk when dealing with state-owned entities and potentially sensitive economic information, a point U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke raised during a CNN interview on Thursday. "These are of course of great concern with respect to U.S. investors and multinational companies from around the world that have projects here," Locke said. "We need to have transparency, we need to have assurances and confidence that people working for these multinational companies ... will be treated fairly."

Bajaj Hindustan midcaps underperform Sensex :

2009-07-16T03:17:00.000-07:00

Equities continued to reel under selling pressure Monday led by losses in realty, metals and auto space. Heavy selling was seen in midcap and smallcap space. Negative opening of European markets also hurt sentiments. Benchmark indices were below crucial technical supports indicating a further correction in coming days. “The intermediate trend has turned very bearish after Nifty future closed below the psychological level of 4000. Markets are in a prolonged downtrend as this fall could lead us to 3720 in coming days. Monsoon concerns are also haunting the markets. Hence, markets are seeing a huge selling pressure build at higher level. Indian markets have corrected 15% from the recent peak of 4693 upto today’s low of 3977 but Nifty has left a huge gap after the budget results on 18 June 09 at 3670 and we believe that during this fall the gap will be filled which is a very good sign for the market. The technical oscillators are also suggesting that there could be another 7-10% fall from this point and this fall can be utilized as a buying opportunity from an investment perspective. Now the markets needs to consolidate at lower levels in the region of 3500-3700 and create a base before resuming the upside rally. Any sharp rise in the market should be used as an opportunity to exit or create fresh shorts. This trend will remain weak unless market trades below 4150-4250 and 14000-14300,” said Nirmal Bang report. At 1 pm, Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex was at 13279, down 225.22 points or 1.67 per cent. The index touched an intra-day low of 13219.99 and high of 13405.95. National Stock Exchange’s Nifty was at 3927.50, down 76.40 points or 1.91 per cent. The broader index touched a low of 3918.75 and high of 4003.40. Amongst the sectoral indices BSE Realty Index fell 5.23 per cent, BSE Metal Index declined 3.67 per cent and BSE Auto Index was down 3.62 per cent. BSE IT Index was up 0.95 per cent. Jaiprakash Associates (-6.90%), Mahindra & Mahindra (-5.76%) and Reliance Infrastructure(-5.68%) were amongst the Sensex losers.

India’s Rupee Drops as Global Growth

2009-07-16T03:13:00.000-07:00

India’s rupee fell, following its biggest weekly loss since February, as signs a global economic recovery is losing steam curbs demand for emerging-market assets. The rupee slid to a two-month low, declining in tandem with stock benchmarks and currencies across Asia’s 10 biggest developing economies. A U.S. report showed consumer sentiment dropped more than economists forecast in July and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said “it’s going to be a while” for a strong, sustainable recovery to take hold in the world’s biggest economy. Investors are of the view that any economic recovery is not in sight, which is keeping the financial markets weak,” said Roy Paul, Mumbai-based assistant manager of treasury at Federal Bank Ltd. “Local assets are going to be under pressure.” The rupee weakened 0.6 percent to 49.295 per dollar as of 9:48 a.m. in Mumbai, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It earlier reached 49.3625, the weakest level since May 15. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 1.5 percent, headed for its lowest close since May. Offshore forwards contracts indicate traders predict the rupee will decline to 49.42 in a month, compared with expectations for a rate of 49.11 on July 10. Forwards are agreements in which assets are bought and sold at current prices for future delivery. Non-deliverable contracts are used for currencies that aren’t freely convertible and are settled in dollars.

The Financial crises as a challenge :

2009-07-16T03:06:00.000-07:00

In the 1970s’, politics seemed to bury the ideas of Keynesian economics. Politicians were not applying his theory correctly and seemed to utilize our tax money to catch votes using popular policies. Keynes (1883-1946), a British economist, had a simple theory based on circular flow of money; i.e. when one person spends money it goes towards another persons earnings and when that person spends they are supporting another persons earnings. The circle continues thus supporting a normal functioning economy. Keynes advocated that the authorities should invest, in order to create demand and make money.At the end of 2008, authorities have put 2000 billion worldwide into the economy so you can speak about governmental revaluation. The stock value of companies was systematically too high compared to the real value. Banks must now return to acting as the financial buffer between governments, industries and consumers. Society needs a strong authority and a strong business world. One way to improve the economy is by employing a green economy. This can be done by using solar and wind energy; and by following the plans of the European governments to decrease the CO2 emissions by 20%,decrease energy consumption by 20% and increase durable energy by 20% by the year 2020.

Tibet continues to increase amid the financial crisis

2009-07-16T03:02:00.000-07:00

Amid the international financial crisis, the growth rate of the fiscal revenue of all provinces and municipalities offering assistance to Tibet experienced varying degrees of decline. However, assistance to Tibet has not weakened, and investment in and the number of Tibet- assistance projects have continued to increase. The fifth batch of nationwide Tibet-assistance projects has been successively carried out in June and July, 2007. By April, 2009, the fifth batch of assistance implemented 1,388 projects investing 2.995 billion yuan in these Tibet-assistance projects. The projects have achieved remarkable results in improving infrastructure, guaranteeing common people's housing conditions, accelerating the development of characteristic agricultural and pastoral industries, and boosting the contribution of science and technology to agricultural and animal husbandry. These projects have effectively promoted Tibet's comprehensive economic and social development and improved the Tibetan people's living conditions. In 2008, although the annual growth rate of Beijing’s fiscal revenue dropped by 10.5 percentage points year-on-year, Beijing strengthened its investment in the assistance projects. By March, 2009, Beijing's fifth batch of assistance projects had reached more than 60.

IMD Rains Pains

2009-07-12T21:11:00.000-07:00

Poor monsoon may have triggered off cold vibes between the NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s nodal agriculture ministry and earth sciences and technology minister Prithviraj Chavan’s domain. The developments are being seen as mirroring the covert tensions between the coalition partners in the key state, which is set to go to the polls later this year. While the India Meteorological Department(IMD), which updates the press on the progress of the rains — seminal to India’s economic growth and food security — is part of the latter, it is the former that has to bear the brunt, in consonance with state governments, of the ground-level work to minimise the adverse impact of a poor monsoon on agricultural output. That mismatch, infact, appears to be crux of the problem, with the farm ministry disapproving the latter’s decision to “rush” to update the media on the poor progress of the monsoons in end June. The second stage of monsoon forecasts, infact, confirmed what was becoming increasing apparent countrywide but was as yet to be acknowledged by the government: rainfall for the 2009 south-west monsoon season (June to September was likely to be “below normal” and not “near normal” at 96% of the Long Period Average (89 cms) as forecast in the first stage on April 17. Ironically, the second stage of monsoon forecasts have been made in end June ever since the two stage forecasts began in 2003. From 1988 to 2002, the IMD used the 16-parameter power regression and parametric models developed by noted scientist Vasant Gowariker, who hails from Maharashtra. However, the model failed to forecast the marked failure of the rains in 2002 as a result of which the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate dipped from 5.8% in the previous year to 4%. Agriculture output fell by 8%. Following that, the IMD adopted (in 2003) a two-stage long-range forecast strategy, of eight and 10 parameters, respectively. The first forecast for the SW monsoon was issued in April, using the eight-group parameter power regression and probabilistic models. An updated forecast is issued by the end of June, using the 10-parameter models. Interestingly, however, while the first stage forecast was announced at a jam packed press conference each year, the second stage forecast was issued as a press statement, cmparatively quietly, a strategy that worked well for the government especially if there was a negative mismatch between the first stage and the second stage forecasts. What appears to have irked the farm ministry intensely is that this year, the earth sciences ministry announced the bleak second stage forecast — which would impact the country’s GDP negatively — at a jam packed press conference, heightening the “adverse publicity” from the media. The farm minister’s perception, sources hold, was that with that one move, the earth sciences ministry turned strobe lights on Mr Pawar and his ministry at an eminently awkward moment, even while heightening panic over a possible countrywide drought. That came to a head on Thursday when Mr Pawar was finally forced to admit to Rajya Sabha that there was indeed a bad monsoon situation in many parts of the country. But, he stressed, he was still “hopeful,” a deliberate pointer to the ministry’s continued insistence that the IMD’s July and August rainfall forecast would turnaround the bad monsoon story. Indeed, it was the farm minister who, in his very first press conference after he took office this time (and long before the negative second stage monsoon forecast), firmly announced his decision to not allow foodgrain exports until the new rice season began in September and stock-taking had been done. The commendably sober (in retrospect) decision came despite a massive 50 million tonnes in procurement that forced the FCI and state agencies to stock twice their storage capacity. Congress sources, though, dubbed the charge against the earth sciences ministry as “baseless”. “The second stage IMD forecast has been issued in end June since 2003. Unlike other years, a media conference could not be held at the time of the first stage forecast since the Election Commission’s model code of conduct had already gone into operation, so one was held at the second conference.”

NTPC Signs MoU With Chhattisgarh Government

2009-07-12T21:06:00.000-07:00

The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Chhattisgarh government to set up a 4000-Mw power project in the state. The NTPC plant that will come up near Lara village in Raigarh district will have five units of 800 Mw each. This will be the first major power project, sources said. The MoU between the NTPC and the state government was signed in the presence of Union Power Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh. The project cost has been estimated at Rs 20,000 crore. Shinde said that the Lara plant of NTPC would not be Ultra Mega Power Project. But it would be producing 4000 Mw of power. The plant would be set up with super critical technology and hence would be environment friendly. The Union Power Minister said as per the condition put by the Chhattisgarh government, the NTPC would give 50 per cent power to the state. “The state government had put the condition in return of the land and water it will give to the NTPC for the plant,” Shinde said. The Chairman-cum-Managing Director (CMD) of NTPC, R S Sharma said that the Lara power plant would be one of the best plants in the country with most modern technology. He said the construction work of plant would start soon and was scheduled to be completed during the 12th Plan. The beneficiaries of this project would be the states and union territories of the Western region.
