“The internet is now available to people even in remote areas and is an invaluable communication resource and to an extent, the same can be said for social networking. There are many social networking sites on the web, but none is dedicated to connecting the islands and islanders to the rest of the world”, says Mario McKenzie, founder of Mifren.com. “With Mifren.com, our goals are to connect the world to island communities and their people, provide travelers with useful information, help friends and families stay in contact, and provide an easy to use platform that anyone can use to share and learn. It will be a convenient way to remain updated and linked”, he further added.
It is absolutely free to join and there are several features that members can use to connect with each other, share and have fun. They can share blogs, post or find events, share videos and photos, post updates and other media content, create groups and polls, instantly chat with friends and family and create pages with unique content. Business members can also add their location to their profile so that other members and potential customers can easily find them on the map. According to McKenzie, “there are many more new and exciting features currently being developed that we hope to release in the next coming months. We are not trying to rush it, our main goal is to make Mifren unlike any other site on the internet”.
Even for travelers, Mifren.com provides exciting aspects that they will find useful, unlike other social networking sites. It has an Island directory filled with information, which can assist in planning trips to different islands around the world. Within the next couple of months, the network will launch more features allowing travelers to get reviews on island resorts and get information on various hot spots. There is also an Island restaurant directory in the works which will help all the food loving members to find great island cuisine.
Currently, a beta version of the site is available for users. Although still somewhat under development, the network has been launched for members to begin getting familiar with all the fun features Mifren has. With its distinctive idea and useful features, Mifren.com will surely connect the world to island communities and their people, provide travelers with useful information and help friends and families stay in contact. It is a welcoming addition to the existing social networking sites that will bridge the communication gap between people and cultures, and will definitely be an asset to the social networking industry.

In addition Dean will deliver 5 Tracks from his new album Free of Charge just by joining his mailing list at www.deanshoultz.com

His music is compelling, accessible and emotional. From the opening track “Cradle of Abel” to the closing track “Night Noises”, you will feel like you’re in a movie soundtrack,” says Producer Pershing Wells.

In order for Dean to achieve the feel he envisioned on this album, he enlisted the talents of Drummer Ryan Hoyle, who is best known for his work with Collective Soul and Paul Rodgers Band (Free, Bad Company and Queen). Ryan played and recorded all 10 drum tracks from his world-class Cave Studio in Los Angeles, CA. “He brings a sense of power as well as the beauty and the beast in his performance and musical collaboration on this album” says Dean. ”I am very excited to have him as a part of this project.”

Boynton Beach, FL, October 02, 2010 — In a recent government filing, Imperial Funding admitted that interest rates charged to its customers average 17% per year, well above the industry averages. These rates put Imperial Funding – formerly marketed as “Washington Square Structured Settlements” – charging at the high end of the structured settlement factoring industry. Imperial’s August 12, 2010 filing was made with the federal government.

Upon questioning, Deborah Benaim, a twenty-year industry veteran and current Senior Vice President for Imperial, asserted that Imperial’s interest rates are even higher than reported, “averaging 18-20% per year”. This places Imperial among the most costly of factoring companies in the industry, offering its customers the least value. Industry speculation is that the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will have a dramatic, adverse impact on this industry.

According to a knowledgeable industry participant, these high discount rates cannot continue. As both sellers and courts become more aware of the financial abuse at the hands of certain factoring companies, they will either go out of business or will be forced to drastically reduce their rates. “Smart customers shop rates. Many judges question customers to ensure that they are getting a fair deal by requiring evidence of competitive shopping,” commented Stewart Feldman, an attorney long active in the industry throughout the U.S. Feldman cited RSL Funding and Henderson Receivables as offering among the best rates in the industry, with Peachtree and Imperial offering among the least value. “It’s not a surprise that the Imperial staff came from Peachtree. They know how to hammer customers,” commented Feldman.

When questioned in a pending legal proceeding as to how Imperial can offer such little value to its customers, Imperial’s Senior Vice President, Benaim, explained that Imperial spends upwards of $5,000,000.00 in marketing costs a year, including almost $4,000,000.00 on television advertising. According to an industry source, it is well known that customers that respond to television ads tend not to competitively shop, resulting in these customers receiving among the lowest prices paid. According to Benaim and the government filing, each customer, on average, bears $14,000.00 in marketing costs. One industry analyst figures that a customer not bearing this cost would receive on the average a full one-third more money up-front.

Imperial’s conduct has not gone unnoticed. In a recent court decision, the New York Supreme Court wrote that Imperial’s interest rates were “neither fair nor reasonable taking into account the actual amount [the customer] would be receiving. [The customer] would be receiving less than 1/3rd of the discounted present value . . . after legal fees and administrative fees”.

Things may be changing. In recent years, RSL Funding and Henderson Receivables have offered customers a better alternative. RSL informs customers that are the victim of particularly egregious charges from Imperial that there is an alternative and makes competitive bids for the purchase of their future payments. “We’ve offered customers as much of $50,000.00 more than competitors for the same future payments,” commented James Kelly, an RSL Funding’s Senior Account Executive. RSL’s Senior Account Executive, Derek Kopacz expressed, “When my customer received our offer of $35,000.00 more than Peachtree for the same future payments, he was ecstatic. When he received our check a few weeks later, I became his best friend. He couldn’t believe how badly he was being taken advantage of by Peachtree Settlement Funding.” Typically, RSL acquires payments free of fees and costs imposed on customers.

Attorneys for Peachtree and Imperial were asked for comments and corrections but offered no reply.

For further information, contact the Structured Settlement Institute (SSI), a not-for-profit organization established to educate sellers of structured settlements regarding fair and equitable practices among providers of structured settlement transfers.

New York, NY, October 02, 2010 — David Rubenstein, the Carlyle Group’s co-founder, says the U.S. threatens to fall behind China, thanks to our growing deficit and government debt. Some of our experts will agree to disagree with Mr. Rubenstein at Golden Networking’s 2nd China Leaders Forum, “Is the Chinese Dragon Poised for Global Dominance or Economic Implosion?” (http://www.ChinaLeadersForum.com), October 6th, New York City, which includes panels on

As reported by Fortune.com’s Nin-Hai Tseng, “Rubenstein says the U.S. faces the harsh possibility of losing some of its competitive edge amid the rapid rise of emerging economics – in particular, China. The U.S. overwhelmingly dominates the private equity and venture capital industries worldwide, the prominent investor notes. China and other emerging economies have become eager players and companies such as private equity firm Carlyle have increasingly been spending more time in these regions. To date, Carlyle has invested $3 billion in China, he says. But several pressing factors are threatening America’s competitive edge. Rubenstein lists huge deficits and government debt, high unemployment, and widening income disparities. ‘We have to recognize as Americans that we’re not going to be as dominant a force in the global economy as we have been.’”

Handel Jones, author of “Chinamerica: Why the Future of America is China?” and panelist at Golden Networking’s 2nd China Leaders Forum, has a slightly more optimistic approach. “The old Yankee culture of thrift and hard work needs to be reborn. That means reversing the entitlement mentality in the United States. Oblivious consumption must be reversed, so that the people in the United States produce more than they consume. The United States needs to focus on providing the foundations to help the children of the next several generations achieve wealth. A spirit of sacrifice for the next generation, commonly found in China, needs to be established in the United States. There is still time for the United States to make the required changes, but the time window is getting shorter. Without the appropriate changes, the employment base in the industrial segments of the United States will continue to decline, and wealth of the population will also decline rapidly.”

2nd China Leaders Forum is produced by GoldenNetworking.net (goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs, investors and diplomats, founded by former McKinsey consultant and Columbia Business School MBA Edgar Perez.

According to Kevin Hunt, VP Sales & Marketing, “One of the most important steps a network manager can take to lower their power cost is to shut down ghost servers that are consuming energy but not performing useful work. “The ability to remotely manage power via rackmount powerstrips can also result in significant labor cost as well.”

The RCU rackmount powerstrip also address several other challenges of today’s datacenters such as the ability to power up or down sequentially, real time information on circuit level power, environmental sensors and security interfaces. For applications that require more than a rackmount powerstrip, vertical powerstrips are available.

Cleveland, OH, October 05, 2010 — Oil Skimmers, Inc., the worldwide leader in removing petroleum-based oils, vegetable oil, animal fats, greases, and oily wastes that float on the surface of water will be present at the Water Environment Federation’s Technical Exhibition & Conference (WEFTEC) in New Orleans, LA between October 2nd and October 6th, 2010. The annual WEFTEC show, the world’s largest annual water quality exhibition, enables professionals to interact with the water quality community to exchange information on the latest in research, training, solutions, and cutting-edge technologies and services. The conference will feature two special sessions. The first session is called “National Environmental Priorities” and will have the U.S. EPA Deputy Administrator as a speaker. It will cover the EPA’s current policies, priorities, and programs, emphasizing water issues. The second session is called “Deepwater Horizon: Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Response and its Effects on the Water Environment,” which will include several speakers discussing the United States’ response efforts in dealing with oil spill emergencies, and also the short-and long-term effects on the environment. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu is expected to share his experiences with the Gulf Oil Spill. Thousands of water professionals and exhibitors will be attending the 2010 WEFTEC show.

Ken Gray, Oil Skimmers, Inc.’s Western Region Sales Manager will be on-hand to answer any application questions that may arise while visitors watch a Model 6V Brill™ oil-recovery system that will be demonstrating the effectiveness of these tube-type oil skimmers. Oil sticks to the outside of a specially formulated, closed-loop collector tube that snakes over and around debris. The tube is lifted out of the water and is drawn through scrapers that remove the oil. The clean tube is returned to the water surface to gather more oil. Tubes withstand temperatures up to 200o F, and will not fracture in freezing conditions. Designed with non-clogging, long-lasting components, the Model 6V unit runs unattended 24 hours a day, year-round, and is the most dependable, cost-effective and uncomplicated solution for removing waste oil from water.

The oil recovery systems from Oil Skimmers, Inc. can be customized and sized to any specification. This includes mounting systems, material of construction, motor voltage and speed, discharge, et cetera. Systems can remove as much as 100 gallons of waste oil per hour. All waste oil can be decanted into drums to be stored or recycled and sold. A durable and simple construction ensures a lifespan of 25 to 30 years for these oil skimmers.

London, UK, 4th October, 2010: UK banks could need another government-backed bail-out package to stay afloat in 2011, an economic think-tank has found.

The New Economics Foundation (NEF) has released a new report which claims banks will need to borrow £25 billion a month next year following the withdrawal of state funding packages.

According to the study, the government will have to bail out high street banks in order to plug this funding hole.

“The public have already paid for the failure of the banks twice, first by bailing them out, and then by suffering a program of drastic cuts to public services,” Tony Greenham at the NEF said. “We need urgent reform of the banking system to ensure the bailed-out banks are not allowed to repeat their failures.”

The Where Did Our Money Go? report revealed that banks already borrow around £12 billion a month, while it also lamented the lack of information over where firms have spent the previous £1.2 trillion bail-out package.

“Another bail out may be on the cards for the banks in the United Kingdom as they will need that amount to keep afloat in 2011” says financial analyst Amir Hussain who has years of experience in the UK financial industry. He works as a financial analyst for PPI Claim Company.co.uk.

“The borrowing amount could be as high as £25 billion a month to balance the withdrawal of state funding packages. The government will have to fill in this gap to prevent the banks from leading the economy into another crisis””
