			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many wonderful things about Australia and specifically the Tropical North Queensland region. While it can be quite wonderful to wander through the rainforests, you must also be aware that you will encounter quite a few flies to say the least.</p>
<p>While you are in the Rainforest you may find yourself doing the Great Australian Salute. This is what is referred to as brushing you hand across your face in order to ward off all the flies. Flies are so commonly found in this region, as well as all of Australia, that resident often joke about the flies being the National Bird for Australia.</p>
<p>If projecting to pass a reasonable sum of time in the great outdoors, particularly when attending picnics as well as cooks out and such, you would want to make a point to carry along the bug repellent and make certain to bring along a whole slew of tin foil or saran wrap to cover food products. Flies might as well be mentioned to as little blitters and you&#8217;ll discover nearly all locations bear fly paper and swatters readily accessible.</p>
<p>Many Stockmen have found while working in the Bush that tying a cork from the brim of their hat and letting it bounce back and forth helps to deter flies from landing on them while keeping their hands free to do their work. This neat idea has also lead to an expression in the region. When referring to a person who is smart people will say that there are no flies on him.</p>
<p>While flies could be extremely bothersome and many individuals do not enjoy when they shoot down upon food, they actually do not present any major menace to man or other creatures. Some of the unusual breeds of flies in Australia do bite, particularly those encountered in swamplands, called sand flies as well as those encountered upon farms, called horse flies, however no damage will surface from these type of bites and a bit of eucalyptus oil will take the sting right out from a fly bite. Regrettably dealings with these little blitters is simply a part of the Australian experience and essentially needs to be stomached.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Going public, the ultimate in the evolution of companies who are seeking access to powerful global finance options for rapid expansion, deepening corporate roots and gaining industry prominence as a true powerhouse and player. The process of going public is technical yet pretty straight forward: business plan, Private Placement Memorandum, Direct Public Offering, Financial Audit, S-1 filing, SEC comments phase, SEC approval, FINRA approval, symbol and then you&#8217;re public.</p>
<p>Never price shop for consultants that take companies public and be weary of consultants that will start off a conversation by answering questions geared toward price and giving you quotes without understanding your business first; without the proper information a realistic quote can&#8217;t be given anyway.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve found a consultant that you&#8217;re comfortable with you&#8217;ll need to get a solid understanding of their full range of services. Of course you&#8217;ll want a consulting firm that will handle all of the above for your company but you&#8217;ll also need to consider the post IPO services. What happens after you&#8217;re public? The reality is, selling off stock in a rapid fashion to raise capital is the last thing you want to do, instead you need to approach your consultant and market maker on how to cross collateralize your securities to raise equity loan capital.</p>
<p>This can be done easily and quickly if you&#8217;ve brought on the right group of advisers to expand your company to the global public. When considering the idea of taking your company public it&#8217;s important to note that there are many ways to raise capital after you are public without selling off chunks of your company (consult your financial advisers for more information).</p>
<p>Next, when deciding on a consultant they should also have solid investor relationships to assist your company in raising the capital necessary to go public. A true turn-key consultant will have a database of investors seasoned in the process of pre-IPO finance and will often times jump at the chance of investing in the PPM and DPO phase at a discount for companies that are in the process of going public as this almost guarantees that the investor will double or triple their initial investment when the company achieves public status.</p>
<p>Out of the hundreds of consulting firms that offer the &#8216;take your company public&#8217; service, there are only a dozen or so that actually offer the complete full range of services needed to successfully accomplish public status in a way that maintains investor confidence and corporate longevity. Do your research and find a firm that is well seasoned in the turbulent waters of this industry.</p>

A large number are unaware they have the alternative of changing their loan to different financier; others are simply indifferent. They stick with their very first lender and the "reward" for such loyalty tends to be higher interest rates.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to mortgages, many individuals do not refinance. A large number are unaware they have the choice of switching their loan to different financier; others are simply apathetic. They stick with their very first loaner and the &#8220;reward&#8221; for such loyalty tends to be higher interest rates. Due to the magnitude of mortgages and the tenure that the loan is amortized over, the interest we are talking about here can well extend from thousands to 100,000&#8217;s of dollars. Take a look at the following factors to see whether it&#8217;s time for you to consider refinancing.</p>
<p>Current Interest Rate</p>
<p>It is decidedly a good indication for you to research refinancing when your current interest rate is higher than available housing loan packages on the market. A first step to take is to go back to your existing banking company or financial institution and ask them to revise your package, otherwise known as repricing. If your lender comes back with an offer, it will commonly be better than your current one. You can then compare this offer with offers from other lenders to see whether you should switch or stay put.</p>
<p>Lock-in and Clawback Periods</p>
<p>When you take up a housing loan, there may be a lock-in period where your housing lender will charge you a penalty fee, ordinarily a percentage of your outstanding loan amount, if you were to fully repay your home loan. Almost all housing loans also come with a clawback period where the lender will claim back &#8220;freebies&#8221;, such as legal expenses, that they &#8220;gave&#8221; you when you take up your housing loan (Note: lock-in period is separate from clawback period). It may not be valuable for you to refinance due to such costs.</p>
<p>Loan Quantum</p>
<p>The larger your loan amount, the greater your savings for the same reduction in interest rates. For instance, 1% on a loan of S$100,000 is much less than 1% on a loan of S$500,000. However, fixed cost to refinancing, which comprises mainly of legal fees, do not vary much with loan quantum. The difference between your current and refinancing interest rates, therefore, has to be bigger for a relatively smaller housing loan as fixed cost eats into a more fundamental portion of your interest rate savings.</p>
<p>Perceived Interest Rate Movements</p>
<p>Your view on how interest rates is moving can be a factor when thinking whether you should refinance. If you are currently on a fixed rate package and think interest rates are dropping, you may want to refinance to a floating rate package. Conversely, if you are on floating rates and believe interest rates are skyrocketing, shifting to fixed rates may be a good choice.</p>
<p>Individual Financial Assessment</p>
<p>If there is a change in your financial state, you may want to change your package details via refinancing. For instance, you are starting your own business and do not want unpredictability in other areas. Give some thought to taking up a fixed rate package. Maybe you want cash to invest in another property. Consider increasing your loan quantum. Or your monthly income has increased and you want to reduce interest loan payments. Contemplate reducing your loan tenure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your company is growing. Now you are ready to start raising serious capital and you here the public fund raising markets. Here are the basics of your S-1 filing. Know the lingo before you hire a consultant. Because companies must adhere strictly to SEC regulations, initial prospectuses are similar in their organization. Each S-1 generally consists of the following sections:</p>
<p>Front Section &#8212; An S-1 contains a small amount of information not available in a prospectus. In this first section, you can quickly find the issuing company&#8217;s phone number and get a vague sense of the future offering price.</p>
<p>Cover/Inside Cover &#8212; The prospectus cover outlines the general terms of the offering, including names of the underwriters, number of shares offered, and pricing information. The actual share price is absent from a prospectus until the day of the offering.</p>
<p>Prospectus Summary &#8212; Here you will find a brief synopsis of the company&#8217;s business and history, a modest discussion of the change in capitalization to occur as a result of the offering, and a useful summary of financial information covering the last five years, if available. If you are screening prospectuses for investment ideas, start here.</p>
<p>Risk Factors &#8212; After you have read a few prospectuses, you will become familiar with the &#8220;usual suspects&#8221; in this section, including &#8220;Possible Volatility of Stock,&#8221; &#8220;Limited History of operations,&#8221; &#8220;Dilution,&#8221; and &#8220;Dependence on Key Personnel.&#8221; Nevertheless, this section is a worthwhile read to be sure that you understand the challenges facing the company&#8217;s management. The discussion of competition can be sobering, but it can also provide a means to compare the value of the issuer against the financial performance and market valuation of its competitors.</p>
<p>Taking your company public should be an exciting and revitalizing time. Don&#8217;t take unnecessary risks, hire a consulting firm who can streamline this process and deliver the results you&#8217;ll need for success!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[So many companies dream of going public to raise massive amounts of capital, as set up for an exit strategy, to make acquisitions with stock and for many other reasons. While your intentions may be pure and with genuine motives, you're entering shark infested waters of boiler rooms, crooked attorneys and underbelly consultants who have made careers off of taking well intentioned executives just like you for a 24 month rollercoaster ride while they take every penny you have as your company shrivels up like week old road kill.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So many companies dream of going public to raise massive amounts of capital, as set up for an exit strategy, to make acquisitions with stock and for many other reasons. While your intentions may be pure and with genuine motives, you&#8217;re entering shark infested waters of boiler rooms, crooked attorneys and underbelly consultants who have made careers off of taking well intentioned executives just like you for a 24 month rollercoaster ride while they take every penny you have as your company shrivels up like week old road kill.</p>
<p>Just and honest consultants in the &#8216;public offering&#8217; industry are as rare as the illusive white elephant. This industry exists in a cesspool surrounded by rose gardens; from afar it looks amazing and an image of a dreamland but get up and close and the sludge and odor are enough to make you run and hide. So what do you look for in a consultant? The best consulting firms are the &#8217;boutique firms&#8217; with minimal overhead that keep a low profile and are made up of 3 or 4 &#8216;partner&#8217; consultants.</p>
<p>These firms typically have the experience of working with the large consulting groups but for one reason or another have decided to leave and go out on their own. The great thing is, these small groups typically have massive contacts and process your entire public offering in-house. Offering a complete turn-key solution that is managed in-house offers a huge advantage because there is accountability and you can actually build a relationship with the people that are making your dream of a public offering come true.</p>
<p>These &#8217;boutique&#8217; consultants will usually stay onboard as growth consultants for the life of the company in exchange for modest fees and a pre-IPO or pre-OTCBB equity position. The large firms will hack you out at the knees and gouge you with fees while they take massive amounts of equity in your company which takes away your bartering chip when you need to offer more stock to the public to raise capital.</p>
<p>The small firms will also work one on one with you to show you how to use your stock to grow through acquisition and other nifty ways to use stock to grow. Seek out the boutique consulting firm and save the attorney for spot audits. Hold on to your cash. Why pay outrageous fees to lawyers when you can pay 60% less with a small consulting firm that will add all the bells and whistles for free and actually get your stock trading, usually in half the time?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the technological expansion of the Internet, distance learning degrees have become increasingly popular. With great support facilities and the convenience of online degree programs, parents and workers can still have a family and a job while receiving an education. Unfortunately, the Internet has also provided an avenue for individuals making money by selling bogus degrees over the Internet. In a 2003 report by USA Today, 400 diploma mills are already in operation, with the shameful industry already worth $500 million per year, and the numbers are still rising.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, many colleges and universities are now offering legitimate degrees and diplomas. Unlike the mills, institutions of higher learning are doing everything possible to provide the same quality of education offered to students in the traditional learning environment. With access to video lectures, online courses, innovative online testing methods, and virtual library facilities, those seeking distance learning degrees can rest assured their diplomas have been justly earned. Unfortunately, many employers&#8217; views have been tainted because of the influx of fake degrees.</p>
<p>To address the misinformation, 6 accreditation agencies have been authorized by the U.S. National Education Board to weed out the unscrupulous bogus programs. Then, the agencies give accreditation to the colleges and universities that meet the minimum standards for legitimate learning institutions. In addition, the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) also provide accreditation specifically to distance learning schools. The DETC has the backing of both the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the Department of Education. Therefore the students can rest assured their education has matched, and often exceeded that of their traditional peers.</p>
<p>For the students looking for specific programs of specialization, various associations are available to assess the excellence of these distance learning degrees and grant the necessary accreditation to qualifying schools. For example, accounting programs are scrutinized and accredited by the International Association for Management Education, and health programs answer to the evaluations of the American Health Management Association. Only the agencies recognized by CHEA or the Department of Education have the authority to grant institutional accreditation.</p>
<p>Why does accreditation matter to a student? A college accreditation agency evaluates the different aspects of colleges or universities against minimum standard criteria to determine if the particular institution meets set basic requirements that determine the quality of education it should offer. College accreditation is important to ensure that the quality of education, facilities in a college and support given by that college meets certain standards while specialized accreditation checks the excellence of specific programs regardless of the institution offering that program. Likewise it means specialized accreditation check on course content and the curriculum of the program against pre-determined standards of the distance learning college or university.</p>
<p>Distance learning degrees from accredited institutions assure graduates, parents and prospective employers any degree earned is well deserved. The work completed has met the standards of adequately preparing people in their major area of study. Conversely, it also means colleges and universities not granted accreditation do not meet the standards of excellence required. Nevertheless, for the student who is only taking classes necessary to an area of specialization, only the courses need that all important stamp of approval.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, in the end, it all comes down to the discretion of the employer. He or she must decide whether potential employees have satisfactorily completed an online degree program. Hopefully, with accreditation through a well recognized agency, the confusion can be eliminated, and a valid resume will make it to the short list of excellent candidates with their distance learning degrees as an impressive symbol of fortitude and dedication to personal achievement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check to ensure the college is accredited by a legitimate accrediting agency. Accreditation means the college and its programs meet certain set educational quality and standards. This also means courses and credits acquired can be easily transferred to another accredited institution, whether online or brick and mortar college. You will stand a better chance of securing employment or promotion at work if you have an accredited degree.</p>
<p>Be on the look-out for unaccredited online distance education colleges otherwise known as &#8220;degree mills&#8221;. There are many fake institutions granting &#8220;accreditation&#8221; to any organization willing to pay some money for it. Before you pick your college, make sure you research that it is accredited by a legit body. If you are not sure the college you wish to attend has a legitimate accreditation, consult with the United States Department of Education or CHEA to confirm.</p>
<p>To ensure that the degree program your are considering is aligned with your long-term educational goals, especially if you think you&#8217;ll need to advance your degree (for example from bachelors to MBA), it&#8217;ll benefit you to check if the online distance education institution you&#8217;d want to attend for your MBA accepts transfer credits from another online institution.</p>
<p>Class size plays a big role in an online distance education college as it does in a traditional classroom. The smaller the better, thus you should investigate the class size of the institution you wish to join.</p>
<p>It good to know more about the instructors of the programs you are interested in. Are they qualified to teach that class? Do they have experience in their field or specialization? Have they taught online classes before? How long have they been teaching? Get the answers to these questions. It is more reassuring if more instructors hold degrees from the college that you&#8217;re planning to enroll.</p>
<p>Are the administrators, technical staff and faculty responsive if you need help or have questions with your courses? Since every college offers a different form and level of support, make sure you find one that is aligned with your needs and expectations. This will alleviate frustration when you need help during your classes.</p>
<p>Most colleges have their online classes rolling out all the time. This is a great thing and makes learning flexible. As such you should not feel pressured by the admission office or anyone else to start your program right away. You should start only when you feel your mind is set to it. This will ensure you stay motivated and put the effort you need to succeed with your classes.</p>
<p>Verify whether during the course of your program, there are classes that will require residency or if you will be able to complete the entire program online. This will help you prepare in advance.</p>
<p>Check if the institution you&#8217;re interested in offers any form of financial aid assistance. You may be pleasantly surprised to find out that financial aid, loans and the scholarships available to you. In addition, many colleges and universities offer tuition installment plans which help make college more affordable. Ask before you enroll whether such programs exist.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t settle for less than quality programs and education when selecting your online distance education program. Unlike there before, when online degree options were severely limited, it is now possible for those willing to spend some time gathering information to find almost exactly the degree program that meets their needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most companies who are on the venture capital trail are not set up properly to attract investors. When an investor looks at your business plan and private placement memorandum they are looking for certain things. Of course funding sources look for the obvious, a solid business model, positive cash flow, industry genre with solid future growth, recession proof business (if there even is such a thing) and minimal debt.</p>
<p>Countless companies are turned down for funding because they lack the basics such as: an advisory board, board of directors, solid executive staff with a well groomed pedigree, reasonable share price, business plan and PPM that spell out the risks for the investor and an original marketing strategy that covers all the angles. These are just a few of the most common mistakes that companies make out of naivety and by not taking the time to hire an expert to properly structure them to make the entity appeal to investors.</p>
<p>Seasoned expansion and turn-around consultants can step into a company and immediately zone in on the issues that will hinder a client&#8217;s investment magnetism. Often times it only takes 2 to 3 weeks to completely reorganize a company to make it stand out like a beacon in the turbulent finance industry. If you are seriously considering the idea of raising capital with a private placement memorandum, traditional institutional loans, venture capital or a public offering don&#8217;t be penny wise and dollar foolish.</p>
<p>Spend some money and hire a consultant who is completely submerged in the finance industry to take control of the elements of your corporation that are seen as &#8216;black eyes&#8217; to investors so that you can achieve the capital you&#8217;re seeking.</p>
<p>The reality is, raising capital for your company is easy and straight forward if you&#8217;ve taken the time to examine your business objectively and sought out the expert analysis of an industry expert consultant who will run your company through a formula and make the necessary changes to increase your ability to raise capital.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regulation D, Under Sections 4(2) and 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, the SEC adopted Regulation D to coordinate the various limited offering exemptions and to streamline the existing requirements applicable to private offers and sales of securities. The Regulation establishes three exemptions from registration in Rules 504, 505, and 506.</p>
<p>Rule 504, which provides an exemption for non-reporting companies unless they are &#8220;blank check&#8221; issuers or certain &#8220;shells&#8221;, stipulates that: The sale of up to $1,000,000 of securities in a 12-month period is permitted provided that there is no general solicitation, the securities sold are restricted securities and cannot be resold except pursuant to a registration statement or exemption, and a notice must be filed with the SEC within 15 days after the first sale. Rule 504 does not provide an exemption under any state laws. In certain limited circumstances where an offering is conducted under state accredited investor exemptions, securities offered under Rule 504 may be freely transferrable. Unlike Rules 505 and 506, Rule 504 does not mandate that specified disclosure be provided to purchasers. Nonetheless, the business person should take care that sufficient information is provided to meet the full disclosure obligations which exist under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws.</p>
<p>Rule 505 was adopted by the SEC to provide small businesses more flexibility in raising capital than under Rule 504 &#8211; but without the uncertainty of determining the quality of the purchasers that generally is involved in using Rule 506. Rule 505 provides issuers a limited offering exemption for sales of securities totaling up to $5 million in any 12-month period.</p>
<p>Rule 505 contains certain restrictions regarding &#8220;accredited investors&#8221; and non-accredited persons. The-term &#8220;accredited investor&#8221; includes:</p>
<p>Banks, insurance companies, registered investment companies, business development companies, or small business investment companies; Certain employee benefit plans for which investment decisions are made by a bank, insurance company, or registered investment adviser; Any employee benefit plan (Within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act) with total assets in excess of $5 million; Charitable organizations, corporations or partnerships with assets in excess of $5 million; Directors, executive officers, and general partners of the issuer; Any entity in which all the equity owners are accredited investors; Natural persons with a net worth of at least $1 million; Any natural person with an income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse in excess of $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year; and Trusts with assets of at least $5 million, not formed to acquire the securities offered, and whose purchases are directed by a sophisticated person.</p>
<p>If the issuer sells any securities to non-accredited investors, it must furnish to all investors the same type of information as required by Regulation A. It must also furnish audited financial statements.</p>
<p>If an issuer other than a limited partnership cannot obtain audited financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense, only the issuer&#8217;s balance sheet (to be dated within 120 days of the start of the offering) must be audited.</p>
<p>Limited partnerships unable to obtain required financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense may furnish financial statements prepared on the basis of federal income tax requirements and examined and reported on by an independent public or certified accountant in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; and The issuer must also be available to answer questions by prospective purchasers about the issuer or the offering.</p>
<p>Further restrictions under Rule 505 include:</p>
<p>The total offering price of each issue of securities may not exceed $5 million. The offering may not be made by means of general solicitation or general advertising. The issuer may sell the securities to an unlimited number of &#8220;accredited investors&#8221; and to 35 non-accredited persons. There are no requirements of &#8220;sophistication&#8221; or &#8220;wealth&#8221; for persons to whom the securities are sold. A company must take any necessary steps to ensure that the purchasers are acquiring securities for investment only, not for resale. The securities are thus &#8220;restricted&#8221; and investors must be informed that they may not be able to sell except pursuant to a registration statement or exemption from registration. The issuer is not required to file any offering materials with the Commission. Fifteen days after the first sale in the offering, the issuer must file a notice of sales on Form D. The notice also contains an undertaking under this Rule for the issuer to furnish the Commission, upon its staff s request, any information given to non-accredited purchasers in connection with the offering. Rule 505 does not provide an exemption from state securities laws.</p>
<p>SEC Rule 506 offers and sales of securities by an issuer that satisfy the conditions stated below are deemed transactions not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. For an offering to be considered exempt from the registration requirements, Rule 506 stipulates: There is no ceiling on the amount of money which may be raised. No general solicitation or general advertising is permitted. The issuer may sell its securities to an unlimited number of accredited investors and 35 non accredited purchasers. Unlike Rule 505, all non-accredited purchasers (either alone or with a purchaser representative) must be sophisticated &#8211; that is, have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to render them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. The term &#8220;accredited investor&#8221; is defined under Rule 505.</p>
<p>If the issuer sells any securities to non-accredited investors, it must furnish to all investors the same type of information as required by Regulation A. It must also furnish the same financial information as would be required by registration on Form S-1.</p>
<p>If the issuer cannot obtain audited financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense, then financial statements may be provided in accordance with the special treatment described under Rule 505.</p>
<p>The securities sold are &#8220;restricted&#8221; under the same stipulations in Rule 505.</p>
<p>A company is required to file a notice of the offering on Form D at SEC headquarters within 15 days after the first sale in the offering. All states except New York provide an exemption from state securities laws for offerings under Rule 506 but the company must file a copy of the Form D and pay a filing fee in each state. New York has a distinctive law which makes a Rule 506 offering within that state impractical.</p>
<p>Accredited Investor Exemption</p>
<p>The Small Business Investment Incentive Act of 1980 created a new statutory exemption from registration under the Securities Act for transactions involving offers and sales of securities by any issuer solely to one or more &#8220;accredited investors.&#8221; Under Section 4(6):</p>
<p>The total offering price of each issue of securities under the exemption may not exceed the limit on small offerings set by Section 3(b) the Securities Act, which currently is $5 million per issue. The offering may not be made by means of any form of advertising or public solicitation.</p>
<p>The term &#8220;accredited investor&#8221; is defined to include the same individuals and entities as included for purposes of Rules 505 and 506. The issuer is required to file a notice of sales on Form D with the Commission 15 days after the initial sale is made in reliance on the exemption.</p>
