Are you fully insured for public liabilities?

When it comes to taking out an insurance policy for your business, the most vital one is public liability. Businesses of every size and shape need it, no matter how much it costs. However, the public liability insurance cost is negligible compared to the amount you may have to pay out should an accident happen on or near to your premises.

The size of your business determines how much your public liability insurance policy is worth. The value of cover varies between £1m and £10m, but it’s not just the price that’s vulnerable to change. As a result, many business owners choose cheaper policies, but they don’t always get the best deal.

112 Questions To Ask Yourself In 2012

The beginning of each year is a great time to evaluate the direction of your life and to ask yourself some very important questions.  Often we get so busy just living life that we lose our perspective.  It is important for each of us to take time once in a while to reassess how our lives are going.  It is also important for all of us to reassess the direction that our nation is heading in every so often.  The truth is that America has gotten badly off track.  We have abandoned the principles which once made this country great, and this country is literally falling apart all around us.  Hopefully the questions below will not just get you focused on our problems.  Hopefully they will also spur you to think about solutions.  Both individually and as a nation, we are in a lot of trouble.  We need to start asking better questions and we need to rediscover the things that once made America the greatest nation on earth.  If we are willing to humble ourselves and change course then there is hope for us.  If not, then the road that we are currently on will only lead to national disaster.

The following are 112 questions to ask yourself in 2012….

#1 Are Barack Obama and Mitt Romney really the best that America can come up with?

#2 Right now the nations of the world are 55 trillion dollars in debt.  How long will it be before this system of debt totally collapses?

#3 What things in life are you truly grateful for?  Do you ever take time to thank those that have been so good to you?

#4 In 2012, when you add the maturing debt that the Italian government must roll over to their projected budget deficit, it comes to 23.1 percent of Italy’s GDP.  How in the world is Italy going to be able to handle that in this economic environment?

#5 What do you feel like you are missing in life?  Are you actively looking for those things?

#6 According to a survey conducted by the National Geographic Society, only 37 percent of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can find Iraq on a map of the world.  What does that say about our education system?

#7 Do you give more than you take?  Would you rather serve people or be served?

#8 Why were gun sales in the United States at record levels as we entered 2012?

#9 What are you afraid of? Are those fears

Obama Seeks Chinese Currency Changes

President Barack Obama addressed Chinas role in the global economy during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Hawaii. The president urged Chinese policymakers to allow the countrys currency to appreciate at a faster pace so as to rebalance mutual benefits in trade and industrial contracting between China and other countries. Chinese president Hu Jintao argued, however, that China had no significant part in crafting global economic policy and felt little need to abide by its rules, and intimated he hoped his country would have a larger role in shaping policy moving forward. For more on this continue reading the following article from Tim Iacono.
