Taking Funds offshore
On Mar 31, 2010 6:03 AM CDT In: Banking
With industrialization creeping in every corner of the world, the concept of offshore banking is catching speed. The offshore bank is based in a jurisdiction that is outside the country of residence of the investor. It holds a great deal of prospects for those investors who are seeking much greater profits in these times of recession. The tax implied on these accounts is very less as the account work under the tax conditions of the jurisdiction in which it operates. It is also exempted from the tax structure of the country of residence of the investor. In today’s times of political and economic turmoil, more and more investors are locating their funds offshore. These social, political and economic factors affecting a country are beyond its control. By investing in offshore accounts, one can be free from things like excessive tax implications and invasive financial restrictions. Besides the tax savings the offshore accounts also offer key benefits like privacy and confidentiality. Those investors who do not wish to reveal the amount invested in banks to the public can choose these accounts. Security offered by these offshore accounts is immense. The need to open up accounts quickly and other such financial needs have given rise to online banking. The offshore bank accounts also can be opened swiftly, online. To open an offshore account online is one of the easiest and most-cost effective ways of getting the funds from one place to the other. But one needs to do thorough research and analysis before zeroing on any online bank. This is because there are numerous illegal websites posing as representatives of offshore banks. So to avoid these pitfalls, one needs to do their bit of homework before entrusting their money online.... 		Mabuni Smith
An analysis of the present day oil industry scenario
On Mar 30, 2010 8:34 AM CDT In: All other countries
Even when the world focuses more on alternative energy, the demand for oil and other traditional energy resources remains the same. Increasing use of oil resources has always made researchers to focus their studies on the use and supply of oil resources. These study reports are the most discussed oil industry news stories these days. One among the study reports is the 476 page report published by National Petroleum Council, which says about the hardships that the oil energy industry faces these days. The report gives many proposals and suggestions to improve government and industry policies. This detailed report was published with the assistance of 350 members, 19 governments, and tips from about 1000 other people. The contributors of the report include leaders and consultants from various industries like fossil fuel related industries, academic institutions, banks, government agencies, leading brain trusts etc…The report says that global energy consumption will increase more than 50 percent in the next 25 years, and dismisses all the predictions related to the fall in demand for oil. Yet it predicts some limitations on the supply of cheap fossil fuel fuels. This happens due to the mounting up risks such as increasing costs, geopolitical obstructions for extraction and shipment, and increasing regulation on the emission of CO2. The report doesn’t support emission of CO2, but treats attempts to ward off global warming, as it has sufficient plans through which the global energy industry can help in addressing the issue of global warming, by a proper storage of CO2. The council recommended many tips for countries to employ measures to decrease petroleum consumption, by increasing the fuel efficiency standards of vehicles.Though the report gives a favorable nod to alternative energy sources, it eventually encourages the dependence on traditional energy sources.Experts also say that an improved collaboration across and within the oil companies around world will help them to move forward with the diverse projects that they have in hand. Individuals and companies speaking about the challenges that can appear in the supply of oil in future always stress the possibility of a healthy collaboration with the leading oil companies, in bringing out successful oil projects, which can help in maintaining the demand-supply balance of oil and other traditional energy resources....

Here Today that is very sad. I have not personally encountered that sort of prejudice in England but I suspect I wouldn't have to look too far to uncover our own grubby prejudices. On a personal level I agree with Stav about the people I have met from USA, but I have to admit that some of the things I hear politicians say are very scary.... 		deltic D9000

Has anyone seen Avatar? It seems to be a blockbuster. James Cameron seems to be able to pick subject matter that the movie public responds to in a big way.

I think those are the very best insults, stav. I had a friend who worked in a service job, and when she had to deal with a particularly impolite boor or a customer, she had her own way of saying goodbye to them. She would say very brightly, with a big smile on her face, "F... you very much!" No one ever got it on the first take, and those that stopped to think about it never came back to say "What did you say?"

We used to have a cat that totally loved vodka. It was a hot and humid summer when Eric the cat stuck his nose down into a glass of vodka and pink lemonaid, and didn't resurface until he had drunk the whole thing. He started going to our next door neighbour's and would come home totally drunk.

Even the aftershocks have been massive.  I suppose everyone's heard by now that even last night or this morning there was another one... 6.1 this time.  It's surreal and the whole island is paralyzed.  Cry... 		Katharina -
