LOS ANGELES, CA, November 16, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Nobody wants to work without getting paid. But that's exactly what could happen to you if you owe the State or IRS back-taxes! The IRS and State have the ability to place liens on your bank accounts and paychecks, should you owe money in unpaid taxes.
This is what happened to Mihai (California) when he called the offices of Blue Tax Inc., desperate for help. Having seen this time and time again, the Blue Tax experts knew exactly what to do. Mihai had a $62,000 liability in unpaid taxes for the period of 2006-2008. Read more

Foresters UK Create Christmas Magic for Underprivileged Children
KENT, ENGLAND, November 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Every year, there are children across the UK who wake up on Christmas morning with nothing. Foresters UK, part of the international financial services organization, is proud to once again sponsor Bauer Radio's Cash for Kids Christmas Toy Appeal in 2011 to help keep the Christmas dream alive for these less fortunate children.
The Appeal which runs across the Magic Radio network and also Kerrang and Wave 105 FM, is supported by Foresters and asks people to buy an extra toy or present and drop it off to a collection point or make a 'virtual' toy donation on line. The toys and cash are used to ensure underprivileged children in the local area receive a gift at Christmas.
However, Cash for Kids have highlighted that there is always a shortage of presents donated which are suitable for babies.
So as well as offering financial support to the campaign, nearly 1,000 Foresters members have been making up some special gift packs for underprivileged babies at events taking place across the UK.
Alexis Bovington, Membership Development Specialist at Foresters said, "It's hard to believe that there are children across the UK, including babies, who have nothing on Christmas morning. The great thing about the Cash for Kids Christmas Toy Appeal is that it brings joy to those children. Foresters recognises the importance of family well being, not only through financial stability, but also through family time. These events have been a great way for our members to spend time with their families, whilst really making a difference to others. We are very proud to be part of this campaign and bring some sparkle to a child's Christmas." Read more

Study Shows TBI Sufferers Could Develop Parkinson's Disease
November 04, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) result when physical injury causes the brain to collide with the skull. TBIs are known to trigger a number of symptoms. However, researchers at the Mayo Clinic and UCLA have recently discovered a more troubling potential side affect of TBIs: Parkinson's Disease. This chronic and progressive motor system disorder is characterized by tremors, stiffness of limbs, slowness of movement and impaired balance.
Neurologist James Bowers and a team of Mayo Clinic clinicians recently reviewed medical records of 196 patients. The Mayo Clinic researchers, investigating the prevalence of head trauma to the development of Parkinson's disease, searched for past medical histories of head or brain trauma in their study group. The Bowers-lead team ultimately concluded that patients who have experienced a head injury are four times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than those who have never suffered a head injury.

California Bans Most Credit Checks for Employment Purposes
November 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- California Gov. Jerry Brown signed an important employment law into effect in early October. The bill prohibits most employers from using credit scores and credit history in making hiring decisions. California is the seventh state in the country to ban the practice of credit checks by most employers. Another 20 states are considering such measures.
Based on a survey by the Society of Human Resource Management, about 60 percent of companies throughout the U.S. use credit history as a factor in the hiring process. This number has steadily risen in the past decade, from only 19 percent in 1996 and 35 percent in 2003.
The new law makes it illegal for most businesses to rely on credit checks. The California law, however, does not prohibit credit checks in all hiring circumstances. The legal issue will fall on whether the credit check is a necessity for the position. Read more

Chinese Models Ordered to Eat at Beijing Fashion Week
PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 31, 2011 - BEIJING (October 30, 2011) — China International Fashion Week, which actually runs for 10 days, kicked off with the "Tang-Jing" Fashion Show in the Golden Hall of Beijing Hotel.
Venture backstage to witness the chaos as the clock ticks down to the lights going up, and it is difficult not to be intrigued by a sign posted on the backstage curtain.
It reads in both English and Chinese, “Models must eat before going on runway. Spraying your hunger away is not enough!”
The sign is posted by organisers concerned about a slimming spray called SENSASLIM, and fearful of a repeat of an incident last year where a model collapsed on the catwalk from lack of energy brought about by food deprivation.
There is no eating to be seen. The models sit quietly in folding chairs, texting friends on their cellphones and getting their makeover. Hair is teased and braided, makeup applied, nails lacquered…and they spray…the hunger away! Read more

£10 Million a Year Boost by City of London Corporation for Tech City

Elitemarket.com To Be Sold
Elitemarket.com – the London based company that has established a global lead in the development of browser and tablet based virtual environments is to be sold. The company was formed in December 2008 by two technology entrepreneurs, Andrew McErlain and Deepinder Sahni, and having taken Elitemarket.com to a full working proof of concept, they have decided to seek a corporate partner with global reach to take the company forward.
Andrew McErlain commented: “we have had enormous interest in what we have achieved on the elitemarket.com site; fast browser based access to virtual environments and stores of a very high graphical quality. We believe we are the first site on the worldwide web to deliver such quality at a speed which surprises nearly everyone who goes to the site for the first time. Our developers have now replicated that quality and speed within apps for both Android and iPad tablets.”
Andrew and Deepinder had initially considered an independent route forward for the company but they decided that raising external capital for an innovative web company in the UK would take too long and distract attention away from the main objective of taking the elitemarket concept global with real scale and dynamism.
Andrew further commented: “It remains a sad fact that raising capital for truly innovative and dynamic companies in the UK is challenging. The harsh reality is that the market for risk capital in the UK is very small with the vast majority of investors taking a risk-averse stance particularly in the current climate. Whilst the Government talks of small and innovative companies leading this country out of recession, they can only do that if they have access to the capital they need to take world beating ideas to the global market. The reason that the global leaders on the web have emerged from the US is no accident – they understand the concept of true risk capital and have the confidence to invest at an early stage. Until the UK Government addresses this deficiency as compared to the US market, we will not perform to anywhere near our true potential.”
So it seems that another truly innovative concept, that originated within the UK, will be exploited and taken forward elsewhere.
Andrew said: “this is a very dynamic market where you need to exploit a lead with scale and speed. We must take up the tremendous interest in what we have created now. We are already engaged in detailed discussions with potential partners and we will hope to make a further announcement very soon.”

Andrew McErlain commented: “we have had enormous interest in what we have achieved on the elitemarket.com site; fast browser based access to virtual environments and stores of a very high graphical quality. We believe we are the first site on the worldwide web to deliver such quality at a speed which surprises nearly everyone who goes to the site for the first time. Our developers have now replicated that quality and speed within apps for both Android and iPad tablets.”
Andrew and Deepinder had initially considered an independent route forward for the company but they decided that raising external capital for an innovative web company in the UK would take too long and distract attention away from the main objective of taking the elitemarket concept global with real scale and dynamism.
Andrew further commented: “It remains a sad fact that raising capital for truly innovative and dynamic companies in the UK is challenging. The harsh reality is that the market for risk capital in the UK is very small with the vast majority of investors taking a risk-averse stance particularly in the current climate. Whilst the Government talks of small and innovative companies leading this country out of recession, they can only do that if they have access to the capital they need to take world beating ideas to the global market. The reason that the global leaders on the web have emerged from the US is no accident – they understand the concept of true risk capital and have the confidence to invest at an early stage. Until the UK Government addresses this deficiency as compared to the US market, we will not perform to anywhere near our true potential.”
So it seems that another truly innovative concept, that originated within the UK, will be exploited and taken forward elsewhere.
Andrew said: “this is a very dynamic market where you need to exploit a lead with scale and speed. We must take up the tremendous interest in what we have created now. We are already engaged in detailed discussions with potential partners and we will hope to make a further announcement very soon.”

“With the current economy small businesses are finding it harder and harder to grow (much less keep their doors open). Likewise new workers (and the recently laid off) are unable to find jobs – mostly due to a lack of experience or skill sets. Through internships, businesses and the new workers entering the workforce are able to help each other. The intern gets valuable on the job training and opportunities to broaden his or her resume and skill sets while the business owner is able to utilize educated human resources,” said, Dreama Lee, President of Efficient Enterprises, Inc. and Co-Founder of InternProfits.com.
Having found their own success as small business entrepreneurs, Justin and Dreama Lee, Founders of InternProfits.com, are laying out a blueprint for starting your own internship program and managing interns that will help your company grow. Their book “Mentoring Your Way to Millions” lays out ten steps to achieve efficiency in your business, controlling payroll and making your company a competitor with big time businesses that have already unlocked the secret of getting ahead with the use of interns.
The book, available on Amazon Kindle shows business owners:
• How to compensate your intern
• How to get an intern working for you if you don’t have office space for them to come to every day
• The best websites to find interns and get flooded with resumes
• How to approach schools directly to find more
• What you need to know before contacting schools to find interns
• How to set yourself apart from all of the other businesses out there when speaking to the schools
• How to write and submit a job description
• How to properly interview interns
• A little known “secret test” to screen out weak applicants, and have the cream rise to the top
• How to successfully manage interns
“Mentoring Your Way to Millions” is currently available on Kindle and can be purchased at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V33O6S.

Save Now To Avoid Debt In Retirement
The Debt Advisory Centre has advised people to think about the positive effects starting a 'savings pot' now could have on their future finances - helping to improve financial security and reduce the likelihood of debt problems in later years.
The comments follow research from insurance group Aviva, which worryingly found that 23% of over-55-year-olds have to live on a post-tax income of £750 or less every month - working out at around £24 a day.
Furthermore, the report revealed that an estimated 7% of over-75s are still repaying a mortgage, with the average cost standing at £46,873. The findings paint a concerning picture of many people facing a bleak retirement due to a lack of available income - which could in turn push some into debt problems.
A spokesperson at the Debt Advisory Centre commented:
"This research is a definite cause for concern - indicating we have a generation of older people heading towards pension-age without adequate money to live on.
"Many people could be forced to stay in employment as late as possible because they simply can't afford to retire, and some may only have the option of living off a modest state pension when they do finally retire.
"However, putting money into savings sooner rather than later, particularly with an eye towards your future retirement, can be a successful way of planning for your later years - and give you a reliable fund to fall back on should you need to cover any unexpected costs in the nearer future.
"With that in mind, it's never too early to start saving. With winter fast approaching, it's advisable to ask yourself how you'd cover an unexpected cost, such as an increased heating bill, a burst pipe or any repairs you have to make to your car if it breaks down. Though we can't predict the future, an 'emergency savings' pot could give you the peace of mind of knowing that you could financially cope should you be hit with a bill 'out of the blue'.
"Furthermore, making a few small changes to your monthly budget could make a big difference to the amount of disposable income you have available - and therefore the amount you could potentially put into savings. See if you could switch to a cheaper utility supplier, or consider buying own-brand items at the supermarket, to reduce your monthly outgoings.
"Additionally, finding the best savings account with a competitive interest rate could also mean you will get a bit more out of your savings than you put in - so you can see your money stretch that bit further.
"Of course, putting money into savings is only appropriate if you're generally managing your money well already. If you're having difficulty repaying debts, you may need to think about entering a debt solution, such as a form of debt consolidation, or, if you're having more serious problems, an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) or bankruptcy. It's important to speak to a professional debt adviser first to discuss your options."

First Million Users for SafeBox Privacy App
Software company SafeBox has announced that its award-winning Private SMS App has attracted over one million users.
Preventing leaks of information in the digital world is not easy and even less so in the mobile space, as cases of intercepted SMS and intrusions continue to make the headlines.
The SafeBox application gives organisations and individuals an easy way to keep their SMS communications private, by allowing users to send and receive private SMS, and create a private list of contacts, all of which is invisible in the normal phonebook and SMS folders of the phone.
Everything is stored in a PIN-protected area, making it inaccessible without knowledge of the PIN and if the phone is lost, stolen or just gets in the wrong hands for a while, nobody can read the messages sent or received or even see whom they were written to.
“We are delighted to have attracted our first million users. This reinforces our belief that privacy is indeed a concern for mobile users. ” said Philippe Joly, founder of SafeBox.
The company has focused its entry to market on consumers by making its application available on all popular App stores and creating a distribution network of mobile operators and content providers. The company is now turning to the Enterprise market to do the same.
“As companies increasingly need their staff to communicate privately about sensitive information such as passwords and codes, companies continue to create a growing pile of digital information shared simply by ways of normal SMS. Sites like WikiLeaks and the persistent leaking of confidential corporate information have brought the privacy issue to the forefront and SafeBox now offers a good solution” continued Philippe Joly, founder of SafeBox.
The use of SafeBox private SMS not only has a very low cost, but it is also easy to use within an organisation as company phones tend to be ordered by the company in bulk and therefore the application could be preloaded on all phones before they are delivered to the staff member, but it should be part of the company policy for departments where the leak of sensitive information could be damaging for the company.

Women found with cancer have less chance of dying
Women found with cancer have less chance of dying from the disease than men. Experts acknowledge that the higher rate for men is due to a higher initial risk and later detection.
According to research reported by the National Cancer Institute the highest male-to-female mortality rate ratios for cancers are lip cancer, where 5.5 men died for each woman patient, and esophageal, where 4 men died for each woman patient.
The study examined over 30 different types of cancer examining data from 1977 to 2006. When examining lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths for both men and women, the scientists report 2.3 male deaths for each female death.
"Men are more at risk of developing cancer to begin with," explains Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Critical Illness Insurance, the national trade organization. "The average lifetime chance that a man will develop lung cancer is about 1 in 13, compared to 1 in 16 for a woman."
Researchers noted that men are more likely to have advanced disease conditions by the time their cancer is diagnosed. They noted that 28 percent of men do not visit the doctor regularly.
"Cancer is one of the leading critical illnesses impacting men along with heart disease," Slome explains. There were 1.5 million new cancer diagnosis in the United States according to the American Association for Critical Illness Insurance http://www.criticalillnessinsuranceinfo.org report. "Today cancer is survivable but medical expenses are now a leading cause of financial bankruptcy," Slome adds. "Even the best insurance policies no longer cover every cost associated with treating cancers and families face huge expenses,"
