Finding an insurance quotes online can be challenging these days. Many are willing to compare the available business insurance quotes for you. Being properly insured is critical for many small businesses as well. The many first time entrepreneurs could have the ability to request for many different quotes. At the end of the day, one person has to evaluate them to conclude which will be the right policy to protect you from fires, hurricanes, break-ins, or even from someone suing you in case an accident occur.

I find it especially tricky where the general business insurance is compared. It is affordable and usually it offers the necessary protections. You might want to save money on the small business insurance, however, you also do not want to discover later that you did not have enough protection if a claim arise. The term is, a business owner has to handle everything including risk. You are running a company, no matter how many employees you have. So you need to consider all the possible avenues and exposures to different risks and kinds of risks, in order to handle this aspect fully. The

business insurance rate helps very much since it is always the sensitive criteria before confirming that very policy.

Working against the brain -  I think the consideration of being in the event of a loss is very difficult. No one ones to address the fact or even possibility of risking a loss in business at the start of planning. You need another person, like a devil's advocate. To make the entrepreneur to take full charge of this while thinking about progressive and strategic forward plan is both very draining. Many might consider to transfer the risk to an insurance company that provides commercial business insurance to handle such matters. Afterall, the businessman is not one that is best trained at evaluating and if he could contract out the task of beginning to learn those terminologies. Through the Insurance Information Exchange which can show you the possible criminal records and undisclosed information, it might help to turn the situation around. At the end of the day, what he wants to ensure is not skimping on the coverage necessary for his workers and employees. This is despite the fact that in recent economic climate, every dollar counts.

Local Insurance

Most of us know exactly what is the health insurance. Those new home owners, will definitely know the importance of home insurance for your new property. I personally have a life insurance. And Zsolt bought the auto insurance for his car.

For any business setups, it is important to know about business insurance. I think business insurance should basically have coverage for unemployment as well as the worker's compensation. Asking for 

 quotes for business insurance is as simple as a click now. Some people has an agent to provide the details of coverage and to determine how much coverage one should obtain. The big question is also how to start.

For example for local 

 business insurance in North Carolina or local California business insurance, information gathering is the first point to have a better insight and for the consideration process. Paying insurance premiums not only insulate one against casualty losses. Some people think this casualty losses never happened. However, it does not only has a protection function against casualty but from legal hazards which may threaten continued operation of the business or even threaten the owner's financial well-being. This means if something goes so catastrophically wrong. Especially when the business could not afford to bear the loss.

Somehow to help survive any losing situation, a source of money has to come in. Businesses share risks with individuals, here it refers to cases like theft, fire, accidents etc. Not forgetting risks like employee injuries, inventory loss and death of key personnel. A basic benefit that any company can give is the workers' compensation insurance where medical bills and reimburses lost wages in case of them being hurt on the job. These are for employees, and for the business itself, liability insurance to insure one from being targets of lawsuits.

So it all works if business owners make efforts to reduce the cost of insurance by establishing safe working conditions and abide by safe practices defined by their insurance company.

Annie from Great Britain

- Which part of Hungary are you living now?

Budapest


(all the photos in this article are from Annie's Flickr photostream)

- Why did you choose to come to Hungary ?

I lived in Poland for two years and for Paris for a year after that. When I was choosing my next place I decided I would quite like to try some-where else in Eastern Europe and Budapest was where I got my job.

- For how long have you been living in here?

8 months

- What are you doing/working as now in Hungary?

I work as a teacher in an International School



- What is your impression of Hungary after living here for this duration?

I think that it takes time to feel really familiar with a new place and while I really like the city, Budapest doesn't feel like home just yet. I feel that I am only just starting to get to grips with using some Hungarian and getting the little cultural quirks.

- Was it difficult to arrange your travel to Hungary with all your belongings?

Easy, as this was my third move I have learnt to travel light.

- How did you manage the route, planning, timing, temperature, luggage preparation for your travel during the move?

I flew over with one suitcase and a piece of handluggage, one month before I started work. A couple of friends came with me, which was great as we had a while to explore before I had to start my new job.

-If someone were to come from where you used to live, considering to live in Hungary/Budapest the next time, would you encourage anyone to travel in this way?

Living and working overseas is just as amazing and just as difficult as you would imagine. There are times when everything feels totally alien and there are times that you find yourself connecting with little things that make you feel like you belong. Most days swing between the two. I would encourage anyone to come to Budapest, living here is nothing like being a tourist in the city.

-Did you find any difficulties in accessing to anything during the first month upon arrival?

I was lucky that my work sorted out my apartment and residency permits and stuff like that, but I did have problems getting travel tickets for the metro and trams, there seemed to be hardly any places to buy them from.

-What kind of food/beverage have you tried in Hungary?

Pogacsa, gulyasleves, Bikaver wine, kolbasz....there must be too many others

-Which are the locations that you like the most here that you would recommend?

I love the VII district, which is where I live. There are loads of characters around here and the buildings still bear the marks of the history of the area, which is fantastic and very humbling.
I am also a huge fan of Margit Island, which must be the summer saviour of every-one who lives in and visits Budapest.

Rooftops of the Jewish quarter, originally uploaded by Pinkannie.

-What tips or advices would you want to share with our readers?

Always take a bag with you when you go shopping in Hungary, you hardly ever get given them in shops. Also, Hungarians never expect foreigners to speak Hungarian, so a sweet smile and a kozsonom will go a long way.

Is it possible to own nothing?

Cult of Less is a project run by Kelly Sutton. As he said in his blog:

"Inspired by a a book or two, I’ve decided to try to see if I can rid my life of most of the clutter. The goal? Condense my life into 2 bags and 2 boxes."

BBC has picked up the story labeling Sutton as a 21st Century minimalist as his decision might be the first sign of the new digital age. Beside his most necessary items what he has kept was his laptop replacing physical commodities by digital counterparts.

Though I don't think that I want to maintain such a minimalist lifestyle the tendency is real. We have definitely more properties online (let's say in a virtual space). I don't have CD for years all my music is in mp3 format or lately I even don't download them I am listening them online on my youtube paylist. I can't remember when I printed a photo last time but I have a Flickr photostream with almost 10.000 photos taken in the last 4-5 years.

What might be the next step? Recently people all around the word are connected to a certain location which in many countries is called the "official address". But what if someday we won't have such an address only IP addresses having all our "papers", certificates, documents in files online?

Petition sent to the Istana

Yong Vui Kong's Family Plead for his Life from Lianain Films on Vimeo.

To have a voice for such a case like Vui Kong's, it is not enough with the campaign which you can see the entire family wearing the 'give life 2nd chance' T-shirt here in this video. Yong Vui Kong's family pleaded for his life by kneeling down in front of the Istana. This is a touching video when you hear his father's exact words (spoken in Mandarin). I hope the president will grant him the clemency, afterall, he wish to repent. All he needed is to be given a second chance.

A 10-point guide to Hungary & the IMF

1.     Viktor Orban fights the Hungarian election on a tax cutting and job creation ticket, promising to renegotiate the country’s deficit cutting committments with the IMF.

2.     Orban wins a landslide victory in April and becomes prime minister. But officials quickly put their foot in it by comparing the economy to Greece.

3.     Orban unveils a 29-point economic plan, including a controversial ft 200bn financial sector levy. He promises to meet this year’s 3.8 per cent deficit target, helping to soothe investors’ nerves.

4.     Fidesz party officials say they would like to extend the current IMF agreement and negotiate a new IMF deal for 2011.

5.     But in July budget talks between the government and IMF collapse amid a range of policy disagreements.

6.     Economy minister Gyorgy Matolcsy then says IMF talks will resume in September.

7.     But Orban tells parliament he wants to restore Hungary’s economic self-rule; Hungary doesn’t need the IMF, only the EU. Analysts speculate he is playing to the crowd because of upcoming municipal elections.

8.     In spite of all the noise, the forint recovers, amid a more benign global market outlook. But in late August the forint wobbles again as investors digest some downbeat growth and inflation forecasts.

9.     Hungary’s economy ministry promptly announces that talks with the IMF will resume in the Autumn and “an agreement will be reached”. But Kosa later clarifies that this doesn’t necessarily mean that Hungary wants a new credit line.

10. What ever next…?

custom t-shirts

My friend Choon Hiong is a videographer and he has an unique way of sharing his videography skills. Part of what he does is giving a voice to people who needed help in the public arena. This includes campaigns that one would usually start with posters or even a custom tshirt. I know this since school days and I remembered that my classmates will get so excited to see these new t-shirt designs. We even intentionally buy those with custom tshirt. Popular ones includes witty messages, or funny graphics and illustrations.

Just two days ago, I saw him being tagged on a photo on my FB wall. He and a group of his friends were wearing sports tshirts with an iconic design of 'Save Vui Kong' Campaign. They all posed with their two fingers closely held up, that says 'To Give life 2nd Chance'. Particularly about this boy who made a mistake at his age of 19, trafficked 47 grams of Heroin into Singapore. He was sentenced to mandatory death in January 2009. However, he had since exhausted his appeals by August 2010 and very sadly he will be hanged next month!

One might think that this is the end all. Volunteers who are hopeful tried every means and effort other than making custom tshirt to campaigned for him to be granted clemency, they blogged on both wordpress, and blogger as well as sending it out on the social medias alike.

The other thing about t-shirt designs is that it can be a serious devotion to something helpful and socially responsible. Maybe Vui Kong can escape execution, but we still do not know. Let's hope the Singapore President grants him clemency. Death by T-Shirt features great T-shirts designs collected by someone who has a passion, a blog where he features quality designs by illustrators, print, apparel, typography. So it may give you some good ideas on a good T-shirt design for your next messaging.

Arlington Business Park

When it comes to a workplace, two dimensions are very important to me besides the job itself. Firstly, the working environment, and secondly the location of the workplace. With over 25 years experience, the UK based Goodman maintains successful property services by “creating workplaces” in a comprehensive way.

One of their recent projects is the Arlington Business Park in Reading (UK) at a unique location within the Thames Valley.

The landscape is characterized by a 3 acre lake at the heart of a huge park that resembles the working environment rather than the holiday resorts. Of course, a park and a lake would not meet all the needs of a professional business area. When I was in Singapore, I have some impression of what makes a workplace or a headquarter an outstanding one.

That brilliant state city has reached incredible economical level within a few decades by attracting all the multinational companies with high level business services and making it a hub for many different sectors and fields. A professional business area provides the latest communication and logistic system with a responsive service background, all tailored to the needs of the customers. Look at this article on how the internet speed affects employee productivity. 

Goodman has been providing this level of service at the Arlington Business Park since 1988 and during the last 20 years, it became a thriving business environment with 16 occupiers who employ around 3,500 people. Major occupiers include Pepsico, Vodafone, KPMG, Wolseley, Wrigleys, Acision and RBS. The Arlington Business Park project has also won the Bali (British Association of Landscape Industries) Award “Quality of the Landscaping” in 2008.

Everyone can identify the emo styles straight away from the dyed black bangs and a half hidden face because of the feature of this hairstyle. However, these teenagers are not just connected by the music, as those who are into emo styling do look into their clothing styles other than the septum, lip, eyebrow or tongue piercings. You can also easily spot them with lots of eye makeup.

Some Emo clothings comes with the hoodie and these are unisex usually. And basically girls express this style by painting their finger nails in red or black colours and they are spotted with those fingerless black fishnet gloves. Check sweatband is the other popular accessory. Comic Strip hoodie or even dogtooth prints are considered popular emo styles.

Unlike the emo clothing, indie clothing is more casual looking such as V Neck T-shirt. Triby hat and metallic or rainbow studded leather belts are the styling accessories to go with the Indie style.

Another signature of the Indie style is the choice of shutter shades and retro sunglasses. Indie styles are usually adopted by the late teens to mid twenties. Usually the artistic individual who considers themselves as political junkies or the rare breed. Who embrace anything organic, be it organic food, hygiene products or beauty products. You can identify them from film buffs to Green Movement supporters.

Scene clothing as compared are more attention grabbing than the other two styles. This category of clothings include the skinny jeans, or even ballerina skirts over jeans.

 

Whichever retro styles you like out of these mentioned ones, you can buy them conveniently on a the online shop simply by ordering it at a one-stop shop called The Vintage Revolution www.TheVintageRevolution.com .

Halloween costumes

playground in Budapest

Children tagged along with their parents or mom wherever she goes. Especially the grocery shopping time, it is not difficult to find a kid roaming around (tagging behind or riding ahead) of the parent(s).

Funnily these children stopped when they see Momo (my Havanese dog) passing by :) Their fascination includes watching Momo with wide eyes and the hungarian kids would say 'Okos Kutyus'! which means 'Clever little dog' :)

Their little hand would reach out, hoping to caress the little dog. Or at least say 'Szia' (the hungarian 'hi/hello') to our little havanese.

Momo usually stops for children because Momo is a very sociable dog. Sociable I really mean he loves to socialise with people. Momo loves the company of human beings :) Other dogs as compared to people, Momo still prefers interaction with people :) Given a fun toy or some food, Momo still prefers people :)

This is our Momo :)

Fiverr - an idea that awakes creativity

Fiverr.com is a quite new initiative where you can give or take gigs (small jobs, assignments) for $5. As they write about themselves:

I find the idea brilliant in itself but I am most amazed by the creativity of people that came up with cool ideas using the system of Fiverr.

How does it work?

After signing up to Fiverr you can be both buyer and seller. As a buyer you can browse among thousands of gigs and for five dollars you can order anything you like. The system is built up in a smart way. When you order something first you will send your money to Fiverr via paypal. Though $5 is not a big deal they take care of your money and the seller will be paid only after the gig is completed.

As a seller you can come up with any idea that you think people will buy for $5. The price is fixed by Fiverr it can't be different so the amount of work you have to choose carefully. 

Every gig starts like this I will ....(your blank part to fill)..... for $5. It can be a service, a help, a present, an artwork anything. Fiverr will keep $1 and the seller will get the rest $4 usually 14 days after the gig was completed. 

I have been using the system for a few days only, and beside the originality of the idea the main point is the communication I guess. Fiverr makes the partners communicating by exchanging messages within the system and as everywhere in the world of business the way you handle your partner will help you to build up a reputation. The communication is basically private but after the gig is complete buyers can leave a feedback and they can even rate the seller and such way the good ones will be outstanding (for example featured in the list of gigs) and popular. 

If the idea has a potential many $5 orders can bring to the seller a relevant money or as many people use it based on the established contact a small gig can be followed by a larger job on a higher level somewhere outside. This Fiverr is as simple as brilliant.    

I have collected some creative and useful ideas I have found on Fiverr.com

Marketing and Social Media:

I will tweet your blog to my 80 000 followers for $5

Trying new banner for my blog

I am thinking if which picture I have chose as top-side banner for my www.budapestdailyphoto.com blog.

Budapest Danube River Walk

I was interviewing a Hungarian friend who lives in Brussels now. He prides being able to have a 'face' or a nice 'facade' for a city as important. Providing some sort of varieties in the recreational activities of simply socialising, having a drink in a pub, walking along the river banks, or simply just walking leisurely, for relaxation after a hard day's work.

The main point is 24/7. In Brussels, the shops are closed after 7pm. And on Sundays, the shopping areas are all closed. This is why it is boring and without a 'face'. Budapest has its own 'facade' and it has a special and charming ambience. Have a look at Zsolt's Budapest daily photo blog.

Budapest has a lot to more to offer in these aspects.
Pictures speaks a thousand words. Seeing is believing :)

Hungary’s new prime minister takes on the world

From the Economist's article:

"OUTSIDERS are worried about Hungary. Ever since Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party won two-thirds of the parliamentary seats in April’s general election, the signals have been ominous. 

Then the new prime minister started replacing the leaders of public institutions and agencies with his party pals. Targets ranged from the elections committee to the national audit office, from the financial regulator to the presidency of the country. Mr Orban is trying to oust the governor of the National Bank of Hungary, Andras Simor.

The loudest alarm came three weeks ago, after Mr Orban’s government broke off talks with the IMF and the European Union over renewal of a €20 billion ($26 billion) loan package. 

The real worry is over Mr Orban’s headstrong ways and cliquish habits. These hampered his last stint in power, from 1998 to 2002, and seem to have worsened since then. Moreover, EU membership and jittery financial markets now impose new constraints. Even supporters doubt if Mr Orban understands the game’s new rules. His tantrum at the IMF, as well as chilly encounters with sympathetic figures, such as the European Commission president, José Manuel Barroso, and Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel, highlight the gulf in understanding. It needs to be bridged soon."

Ben Goldacre about medicalisation

"The media, and the drug industry all conspire to sell us reductionist, bio-medical explanations for problems that might more sensibly and constructively be thought of as social, political, or personal. And this medicalisation of everyday life isn’t done to us; in fact, we eat it up.

In a bid to sell pills, people sell a wider explanatory framework, and as George Orwell first noted, the true genius in advertising is to sell you the solution and the problem.

The pharmaceutical industry is in trouble: the golden age of medicine has creaked to a halt, the low-hanging fruit of medical research has all been harvested, and the industry is rapidly running out of new drugs. Because they cannot find new treatments for the diseases we already have, the pill companies have instead had to invent new diseases for the treatments they already have.

Recent favourites include social anxiety disorder, female sexual dysfunction, the widening diagnostic boundaries of “restless leg syndrome”, and of course “night eating syndrome” to name just a few: all problems, in a very real sense, but perhaps not necessarily the stuff of pills, and perhaps not all best viewed in reductionist biomedical terms. In fact, you might consider that reframing intelligence, loss of libido, shyness and tiredness as medical pill problems is a crass, exploitative, and frankly disempowering act.

Glossy magazines told stories about couples with relationship problems who went to their GP, and the GP didn’t understand their problem (the first paragraph of any medical story in the media). Then they went to the specialist, and he didn’t help either. But then they went to a private clinic. Here they did blood tests – hormone profiles, esoteric imaging studies of clitoral bloodflow – and then they understood. The solution was in a pill, but that was only half the story, and the diagnosis was almost more important: she had a mechanical problem. Rarely was there a mention of any other factors, that she was feeling tired from overwork, that he was exhausted from being a new father, or finding it hard to come to terms with the fact that his wife was now the milky mother of his children, and no longer the nubile sex vixen he first snogged on the floor of the student union building to the sound of Don’t You Want Me? by the Human League in 1983.

This is because we don’t want to talk about these issues, any more than we want to talk about social inequality, the disintegration of local communities, the breakdown of the family, the impact of employment uncertainty, changing expectations and notions of personhood, or any of the other complex, difficult factors that play into the apparent rise of antisocial behaviour in schools."

You can also buy it from Amazon for £6.49, and I recommend doing so, because the price might go up later, and then you’d feel a right charlie. At least you can give it to your local headteacher/quack/MP if you don’t like it.

Why to go to a radio studio?

This morning I woke up very early. 5 am. In itself it is not a problem, during the summer it is already daylight at 5am, and the weather was quite cool outside. I like the summer morning, it has a mood with this sunrise and with the cool, great weather which is the introduction of the coming heat.

So its not about the early hour, but I don't get the point why I have to wake up in the morning, dressing up, going to the radio channel to give an interview, waiting there a lot and then the entire interview is 5 mins. I made a 2 hours long program for myself just for 5 mins and it was two hours only because I live in the downtown of Budapest. Two months ago this business would have been 3 hours together with the travel.

Well, I think next time I will arrange this stuff on the phone. Technically it is possible and since its about a few words only I don't think that we are losing anything just because I made this on the phone.

Hungary Does Without EU and IMF

From Wall Street Journal

Mr. Orban, who took office in late May after a landslide election victory, has made it clear that he believes Hungary can survive without more IMF and EU aid, if the alternative is having to compromise on his plans to boost economic growth and create jobs.

It's an economic freedom fight," said a senior official in Mr. Orban's administration. "We are getting back the financial independence of the country."

Hungary's rebellion against the budget-cutting approach of the IMF and EU is an unwelcome development for leaders of the two organizations, who also are trying to enforce austerity programs for other governments, such as Greece's, that have been bailed out after amassing large public debts.

"It could be a very important precedent for other countries," says Mark Weisbrot, an economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington and a critic of the IMF. "There needs to be more flexibility and more rationality injected into these policies."

"No one should decide for us what we should do with the Hungarian economy. A state should be sovereign," said Agnes Naray-Szabo, a 26-year-old high school teacher who says she thinks Mr. Orban and his Fidesz Party have been doing a good job.

Mr. Orban himself played a critical role in the failed talks with the IMF and EU, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. "Even the smallest details have to go to the prime minister," the person said. Mr. Orban essentially rejected all the IMF and EU proposals, the person said.

The IMF and EU pushed Hungary to move forward with more sweeping cost-cutting efforts that would reduce recurring government obligations. But Budapest has been reluctant. In a speech last week, Mr. Orban criticized pension cuts by the previous government and said the state should "defend old people and families from the risks of insolvency at the end of the month when the bills come."
