Live on a Yacht Tax Free

By Ronald Edwards This is a new concept but one that is gaining in popularity. This is for the nautically inclined only with boating skills that are developed. Basically you live your present country and become a citizen of the world traveling perpetually on your yacht. While all this sounds great you still need to have papers and documents of registration and passports to avoid constant hassles with authorities wherever you go. So what can be done is as follows: You form an anonymous Panama SA company (bearer shares). This company then buys a yacht for at least $150,000. Now you need to hire three Panamanians for at least $253.00 a month each. So you have deckhands, crew, cook etc. This would let you get residency in Panama quickly and after three years you could apply for citizenship and get a Panama passport. You could also do a version of this using the small investor visa to do it with a $40,000 investment and three employees on your fishing or touring boat. You can get a Panama cell phone, mail box, bank account, visa debit card, atm card and you can travel the world. For most this isn’t feasible but it is fun to dream anyway. Investor Visa (Inversionista) Designed for those who wish to establish a business in Panama (note, though, that some retail businesses and some professions are reserved to Panamanians). There must be a minimum investment of $150,000 and minimum of three, permanent Panamanian employees hired. It is granted provisionally for one year and after renewal is granted permanently with the right to be issued a cedula identity card. Five years after obtaining the permanent visa, holders will be eligible to apply for Panamanian nationality. Small Business Investor Visa (Inversionista de Pequea Empresa) Designed for those who wish to establish a small business in Panama (note that retail businesses and some professions are reserved to Panamanians). There must be a minimum investment of $40,000 and minimum of three permanent Panamanian employees hired. It is granted provisionally for one year, and needs to be renewed three more times before it is granted permanently with the right to a cedula. Five years after obtaining the permanent visa, holders will be eligible to obtain Panamanian nationality.

Breast Enlargement Cost

By Eric Morris The desire to be physically attractive drives many women to seek solutions that are safe, result oriented, easy to follow, and reasonably priced. For many years, surgical implants were the only option available to women to restructure their breasts. But today, with further developments in research, there are many inexpensive non-surgical options available to the women such as breast enlargement pills, creams, pumps, and the Brava system. The surgical method of breast enlargement is, by far, the most expensive of all the alternatives available. A surgical implant may cost on an average $5000 to $10,000. This figure includes additional cost incurred on consultation fees, surgery, operating room cost, and anesthesia. The cost of surgical implants depends to a great extent on a particular region as well as the availability of skilled plastic surgeons. Non-surgical or the natural breast enlargement method is comparatively cheap. Most brands of breast enlargement pills are sold for a discounted price of around $200 to $250 for a full 6-month course. A four-month supply cost approximately $ 150 to $190. An individual bottle of pills may cost on an average $50 for one months use. Breast enlargement pills are sold on Internet sites. Breast enlargement creams are available in different quantities. The price of the cream ranges from $25 to $75 per unit depending upon the quality and the quantity of the cream sold. Breast enhancing pumps are roughly priced at around $ 250 to $280 depending upon the number of accessories packaged with it. There are also pumps available which are priced as little as $50. Like breast enlargement creams and pills, the pumps are sold through Internet sites. In the US, the Brava system is available with 2 set of domes priced at $2500 including the physician services. The Brava Starter System (one set of domes) costs around $1,300. The Brava System is available with an authorized physician or direct from the company. Promoters of breast enlargement through hypnosis market their hypnotherapy in a compilation of two or three CDS, which cost $75 to $100. Also available are single CD compilations priced at $20 to $30 sometimes with an offer of free international airmail included. Some websites offer MP3 downloads, too, at a cost of $26. Hypnotherapy CDs are sold through Internet sites. Breast Enlargement provides detailed information about breast enlargement, breast enlargement costs, breast enlargement creams, and more. Breast Enlargement is affiliated with Breast Enhancement Surgery.

Benefits of Going to a Bar or Club Solo Instead of With a Wingman

By Teddy Shabba When it comes to attracting women at bars and clubs, men generally choose to go out in groups and then split up once they see a woman with whom they find attractive. In theory this sounds like a great idea, yet, the benefits of going out solo are just as good if not better. When you first start learning how to really attract women it would be great to impress your friends with your new found skills. However, one of the keys to success with attracting women is your ability to interact with new people. When we are with our friends we tend to stay with our friends. When you go to a club it is not uncommon to see a group of men hanging out gawking at all the women and at the end of the night they tend to still be gawking at all the women left except perhaps one or two who left earlier with women or went home with their girlfriends. Unless your friend is also learning how to attract women with you or is already good at attracting women you just might find yourself carrying a conversation at the end of the night with your friend talking about all the hot women that neither one of you talked to. When you go out by yourself it also forces you to mingle with new people, and with no one there that you know it allows you to take on whatever personality you like and do whatever you want without hearing about it from your friends. Once you become more comfortable with going out by yourself, you may begin to also notice that more women approach you. A man who goes out by himself and looks comfortable and relaxes to a woman automatically seems confidence and confidence is something that every woman is attracted to. Overall when you go to a bar or club the more fun you are having the more likely you are to attract women.

Fundamentals of Contract Law

By Luigi Frascati No matter where you live in North America, you must have seen some humoristic vignettes depicting a not-so-trustworthy Realtor intent at selling a house to some innocent-looking couple. My favorite vignette, which still makes me chuckle today, goes back to a few years ago when I was practicing real estate at United Realty. It involved a Real Estate Agent of Pompeii Realty, briefcase in hand, in the process of selling a house to an ancient Roman couple sometimes around 100 BC . The house is overlooking Mt. Vesuvius. There is a black, threatening, ominous plume of smoke coming out of the top of the volcano, and the Roman couple looks somewhat startled when the Real Estate Agent - big smile on his face - delivers the punchline: ” Plus, with a view like this what could possibly go wrong” ! What is it exactly that you do when you sign a ‘contract’ . The term ‘contract’ means a promise or a set of promises made by one person to another, which the Courts will enforce. A contract can contain a number of promises or ‘terms’ to be performed by either party. The person who makes the promise is called the ‘promissor’ and the person who can enforce that promise is called the ‘promissee’ . If the contract contains several mutual promises, each party will be both a promissor and a promissee. Contracts of Purchase and Sale of land and interests in land usually have lots of mutual promises. Contracts are a crucial part of every business transaction, but not nearly as much as in Real Estate. For instance, some contracts are made verbally while others are made by simply exchanging letters or even e-mails. This is not the case in Real Estate, where it is a requirement at Law that contracts be written down in usually lengthy legal forms to avoid uncertainty, ambiguity and to be binding . A contract has seven essential elements: Offer. Acceptance. Consideration Legal Intent. Capacity. Legal Object. Genuine Consent. Each of these elements must be present for a contract to be binding and enforceable. Let’s examine them individually. OFFER An offer is the promise made by one party to another. Save and except in Real Estate where the offer must be in writing, an offer can be made in any form. In all circumstances, however, an offer must be made in clear an unambigous terms. If more than one interpretation can be given to an offer, neither interpretation will be followed by the Courts. There are ‘unilateral’ and ‘bilateral’ offers. Offers to purchase real property are bilateral, i.e. containing the exchange of mutual promises. An offer is not made forever. Offers can either be finalized, when all mutual promises are fulfilled. Or they can expire, if not timely accepted. Or they can be released, if one of the parties does not - or cannot - deliver on the promise. Offers can also be revoked after acceptance, unless a term of the offer stipulates that revocation is not allowed.- as it is now the case in British Columbia for offers involving land. A ‘counter-offer’ is simply an offer from the offeree back to the offeror. The legal effect of a counter-offer is to terminate the original offer and substitute the offer of the offeree. What this means in practicality is that if the counter-offer is not accepted, the offeree cannot try to accept the first offer unless it is tendered again by the offeror. This is a point often times neglected in Real Estate, which has caused several tears to be spilled. ACCEPTANCE The acceptance, like the offer, must be given in clear terms. It must be a positive act. For instance, an offer cannot state “If I don’t hear from you, I will assume you have accepted”. Doing nothing will never be considered legal acceptance. The rule at Law is that where an offer is required by statute to be in writing, then also the acceptance must be in writing in order for the offer to become a contract binding on both parties. Such is the case in Real Estate. An acceptance has no effect until it is communicated to the offeror. Communication can be made by ‘instantaneous means’ as in the case of telephone or teletype or fax communications, or e-mail or hand-delivery and by ‘non-instantaneous means’ such as postal mail. The Law gives the responsibility to the offeror to specify how he wants the offer to be accepted. If the offeror chooses a method like slow mail, then he assumes the risks involved in that type of service (such as misdelivery). CONSIDERATION For an offer and acceptance to form a contract there must be consideration or the contract must be signed under seal. Consideration is defined as ’some right, benefit or profit accruing to the promissor or some forebearance, detriment, loss or otherwise responsibility suffered by the promissee’ . What this means is that the party trying to enforce the contract must have ‘paid’ something in exchange for the promise of the other party. Consideration must be of real value, but it does not have to be money. For example, a mutual exchange of promises is consideration per se. LEGAL INTENTION For a person to be bound to a contract, he must seriously intend to create legal obligations. For example, inviting a guest for dinner would normally not be considered a contract intended to create legal obligations. The Law presumes that there is legal intention in a contract involving total strangers. On the other hand, if the contract is between family members the Law presumes that there is no intention to be so bound (non arm-length transaction). However, this presumption can be reversed if there is evidence to show otherwise. CAPACITY Even when all the foregoing essential elements exist, a contract can still be void, voidable or illegal. A void contract is one which is deemed at Law never to have existed. A voidable contract is slightly different: it exists until it is repudiated by one of the parties. An illegal contract is one which is made for an illegal purpose, and which is therefore always void. Examples of voidable contracts are the ones made when one of the parties is an infant, i.e. a minor or under the majority age. In this case the contract can be voided by the infant. Likewise, when one of the parties is legally insane, the contract is voidable. A special case is a contract stipulated when one of the parties is a limited company or corporation. Three questions must be first answered before the contract can be enforceable: 1) whether the corporation does in fact exist and 2) whether it has the capacity to enter into the contract and 3) whether the person signing on behalf of the corporation is, in fact, the authorized signatory. LEGAL OBJECT Quite aside from blatantly illegal contracts such as, for examples, contracts to commit a crime or tort until recently here in British Columbia certain other types of contracts where considered illegal. For example, until the mid-80’s contracts involving the sale of land made on a Sunday were deemed to be a contravention of s.4 of the Lord’s Day Act(now repealed) and, thus, illegal and void. Since then, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that the application of s.4 - in fact the entire Lord’s Day Act - is unconstitutional in that it infringes on the freedom of conscience and religion guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom. GENUINE CONSENT If one of the parties makes a misrepresentation or if the contract contains an inherent mistake, the contract may still not be binding. A misrepresentation is, by definition, a statement which is false and which must have induced one of the parties to enter into the contract. A misrepresentation can be innocent, negligent or fraudulent and different remedies are available to the party suffering damages because of the nature of the misrepresentation. If the representation is innocent, the party can sue for rescission of the contract. In the case of negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation, the affected party can sue for damages as well. Although misrepresentation requires a statement to be made, in Real Estate silence too can result in some form of misrepresentation. Disclosure of latent defects is one such example: failure to disclose latent defects on the part of the Seller will not, by itself, affect the consent of the parties but will have similar consequences as misrepresentation. In the case of inherent mistake, true consent of the parties does not exist. The logic behind this notion is that the parties were negotiating for a subject matter other than the one stipulated in the contract. A specific type of mistake is sometimes referred to as ‘non est factum’ , Latin for ‘this is not my deed’ . This occurs when a person executes one form of document thinking the document is something else. Duress and undue influence both affect the genuine consent element of a contract. Duress occurs when a person is forced to enter into the contract against his will. As a result, the Courts will find the contract voidable at his option. Undue influence, on the other hand, is more subtle. Like duress it results in one party losing his free will to contract out. However it occurs more frequently when a person is in a superior or dominant position in relation to another and uses this influential position to induce the other to enter into the contract. Again, if undue influence is found, the contract is voidable at the option of the innocent party.

The Squeeze-Out or Buying out a Minority Interest Shareholder at an Unfair Price

By Dave Kauppi If you are a minority interest shareholder in a privately held company, watch out for these Red Flags: The majority shareholder grants himself a salary and benefit package way above the going market rate in effect granting him a constructive dividend No dividends are paid from a very profitable company He begins using the company as his personal piggy bank You are removed from your Board of Director position Company financial information is withheld from you You are fired from the company without cause If one or of these events has occurred, watch out! The next shoe to fall is an unsolicited offer to buy out your shares. The offer price seems unusually low. If you protest, expect the buyer to refer you to the shareholder agreement where the corporation has the right of first refusal to buy your shares at net book value. That number, for most companies, values your shares at pennies on the dollar. You next get the speech that the majority shareholder will never sell his company. The price I am offering is all the company can afford. We are not going to pay any dividends. This is a risky market and the business could falter. This is the only way you are going to get any liquidity for your stock. In family situations this can be devastating. It is usually the result of children inheriting the business through either gifting or from dads estate. Because 90% of his net worth is tied up in the business, to be fair, he has to give essentially equal shares to all of his children. Maybe Son A and Daughter C work in the business and Son B and Daughter D do not. Dad gives 30% ownership to each sibling in the business and 20% to each sibling that is not involved. The two siblings running the business begin to blur the lines between stock ownership and employment. They develop an attitude of entitlement. Those other two siblings did nothing to grow this business. The company-involved owners begin to view their stock as more valuable than the other siblings. Their salaries and perks get bloated and no dividends get paid to the other shareholders. I dont think Bill Gates refuses to pay dividends to his stockholders because they did nothing to grow this business. Here is where the problems begin. Dad has left a company shareholder agreement in place that makes it almost impossible for a minority shareholder to get a fair price for their company stock. Dad has also done a great job of estate tax planning, using all available legal means to minimize the gift and estate taxes resulting from transferring ownership to the next generation. The most common approach is to form two or more Family LLC’s that would be the owners of the company stock and then dad gives a gift of an equal share of the LLC’s to each heir. This effectively breaks the company into several minority interest ownership positions. Now a qualified valuation firm is hired to value the LLCs. All of a sudden the value of the company evaporates. Here is how it works. Lets say that Johnson Corporation would command a price of $9 million if an M&A firm in a competitive market transaction sold it. However, Johnson Corporation is 33% minority owned by three different Family LLCs. The valuation firm values the company stock held in each LLC not at $3 million, but at $3 million less a 40% lack of control discount, or $1.8 million. Next they apply a lack of marketability discount (after all, the shareholder agreement restricts the sale to outside investors) and the valuation drops further to $1,080,000. Now the three LLCs are added back together and the $9 million company is valued at $2,240,000 for Gift and Estate Tax Purposes. This document is submitted as supporting documentation with the gift or estate tax filing very official. The IRS examiner reviews it and accepts it as the basis for the tax payment. Two years later the two siblings running the company approach the other two siblings and present them with a buy-out offer accompanied with this valuation that was filed and accepted by the IRS. Son B owns 20% of the company stock through his interests in the three Family LLCs. He is offered 20% of $3,240,000 or $648,000 for his company ownership. The fair value is 20% of $9,000,000 or $1,800,000. He has no idea what the company is worth and has never been given any information of earnings or comparable M&A transactions in the market. Even though the valuation has on its cover, For Gift and Estate Tax Purposes Only, he does not understand the implications of that standard blanket disclaimer. His natural reaction is that this document was filed with the IRS and accepted. It must be pretty close to what my stock is worth. If someone were not involved in this area of law professionally (estate tax attorney, estate planner, tax accountant, valuation firm, investment banker, or IRS agent), they would likely accept this as the accurate value of their shares. I tell clients that it would be like being handed an MRI of my heart and being asked to interpret it. I am not experienced in this very specialized area and therefore would depend on my doctor to interpret it for me. A nationally recognized and credentialed valuation firm complete with 50 pages of discounted cash flow and other sophisticated analysis and data completed this valuation. It next passed the scrutiny of the IRS examiners. Now a family member is interpreting it for you. What conclusion are your supposed to draw? Unfortunately this happens all the time. Usually it results in the non-involved siblings having a standard of living that is significantly different than what dad had intended when he equally divided his estate among all his children. Dad would not approve. Dave Kauppi is a business broker and President of MidMarket Capital. We help business owners with all aspects of Mergers and Acquisitions.

The Bug Funeral Parlor

By James Sniechowski One of the wonders of being in a long term relationship that celebrates “the magic of differences” is that you can divvy up the daily chores, errands and family support requirements along the lines of one another’s strengths and weaknesses, preferences and distastes. One of the ongoing challenges of country living is the BUGS! Big moths, black wasps, tiny “no see ums”and all manner of flies and critters figure out how to get inside our house. With a night light in our bathroom drawing them all in there after we turn out the lights, every morning the bathroom sink, floor and window sill have turned into the bug funeral parlor. Judith finds them obnoxious alive or dead! Jim doesn’t mind them most of the time and does most of the clean up in bathroom. He actually enjoys saving the live ones with his hands or he uses an empty plastic juice jug and a piece of cardboard to trap the wasps until safe delivery out of the house. So, now Judith just calls out for the “Bug Patrol!” and knows Jim will come rescue her. Respecting our differences allows Judith to feel taken care of by Jim and Jim gets to be the Bug Patrol General! In the old way of thinking about differences, we’d both be making each other wrong. Jim wouldn’t hesitate to make fun of Judith for being so “prissy and girlie” and “overly sensitive.” Judith would condemn Jim for being “macho” and “tough” and ignoring his “real feelings” of disgust. Each of us would feel righteous and correctcertain the other was wrong and deserved to be punished by verbal abuse. The fun is in sharing life in all the ways that our differences enhance one another and allow our individuality to shine. Remember that the other person you’re involved with is not you. So, how do the ways he or she is different from you make your life easier, more fun, better?! Rejoice in those differences! Judith Sherven and James Sniechowski share the secret of life-long romance.

Meet the Mysterious Alpha Male � Who is He? Dating Advice for Men

By Joshua Goh The word Alpha Male is normally used in animal research, denoting those male members of the species who display forceful, domineering traits. Because of these specific characteristics, these males were responsible in the overall evolution of the species, as they were the primary originators of the reproduction process, passing their characteristic genes to the offspring. Likewise, the Alpha Male in our society are those, who has the maximum physical prowess (not necessarily) and most importantly they are the cleverest of the lot. Please dont misconstrue the word clever as someone intelligent, as we will delve deeper later. I would much rather describe him as being shrewd, ingenious or even canny. These men (there are plenty of them) have the natural advantage of bagging the winners seat, in terms of attracting female attention. By nature, they get the maximum opportunity to pass on their genes to the next generation! The Alpha Male is capable of arousing immediate attraction in females who see him as a prospect for intimacy. Though he exudes his own brand of charm, the beta male always stand second to the Alpha Male. The Beta Man is more civil, perhaps a good duplicate of an Alpha, but always the follower, never the Leader. Women may think of him as good for domesticity, but when it comes to igniting her passion with a sense of urgency, the Alpha Man beats everyone hollow. The reason for such attractiveness in a Alpha Male takes into consideration many biological and chromosomal factors like bilateral symmetry (the extent to which a body exhibits balance in its features) and the right proportion of weight and muscle distribution in his body, giving him the Adonis look, as well as freedom from harmful genetic problems. Talking of Alpha members of species, it is interesting to note that it is not necessarily the male! For instance, amongst horses, the oldest mare is the declared leader. The oldest stallion on the contrary only owns a pack and is responsible for guarding them from predators and other dangers. Thus, physical prowess is not the only determining factor to be Alpha. Thus it is not merely the physical strength that gets you the Alpha position, but deportment, self-confidence and intelligence, takes you there. Brains, more than brawns. For the purpose of this article, I refer to Alpha Male as a human whose positive in-born male aggressive qualities has matched with cultured intelligence and disciplined thoughts. You too can become an Alpha Man by your talent of rational thoughts, your appearance and manners and complete control over your mind and body. The new leader.

His desire is to motivate and support single men, women and couples to overcome the obstacles preventing them from attaining the loving relationships and lives they really want.

How to Use Acupressure to Get Rid of Chronic Tension Headaches

By Paul Bacho If your headaches dont happen every day, or if your neck only tightens up at work, you may get relief from a technique called acupressure. Its sort of like acupuncture, but there are no needles involved and you dont need to know specific anatomical points. What youre going to do is stimulate muscle trigger points. A trigger point is an area where you have or have had pain. If you stimulate that area, youll cause more pain. Yes, I know that sounds counterproductive, but bear with me; itll make sense to you shortly. First, you need to find a trigger point to stimulate. Thats easy. Take your hand and run it over the muscles in the back of your neck and down the base of your neck to your shoulders. Theyre probably tight, so you may have to push into the muscles a little bit. Besides being sore and tight, youll feel little lumps or knots. If you push these knots…WOW! Sore, huh? That sore knot is a trigger point. Now comes the fun part. Using the tip of a finger - the one thats going to reach the trigger point and provide you with the most leverage - roll over the trigger point until you find the tip. Push your finger in as hard you can, right through to the trigger point. Yes, its going to hurt - in fact, its going to be extremely painful. Nevertheless, I want you to continue pushing until: you cant stand the pain, or you feel the trigger point pop, or dissolve (you wont actually hear it pop, but you will feel a little explosion in your muscle) How to Get Permanent Relief From Chronic Tension Headaches A tingling sensation may spread out from the trigger point. Thats normal. Once the pain subsides, your headache will most likely either significantly decrease in intensity or disappear. If you have more than one knot, or trigger point (as is likely), youll need to stimulate each one. Sometimes, because of the position of the trigger points, you wont be able to get a good angle on them with your finger. This will prevent you from being able to apply enough force to dissolve them. If that happens, you need to enlist the help of a good, trustworthy friend, or your spouse/significant other. When using acupressure on yourself to dissolve trigger points, dont worry about hurting yourself or, if someones using acupressure on you, someone hurting you. The worst thing that can happen is you wont be able to pop the trigger point. In that case, wait until the area of the trigger point calms down, then repeat the procedure. While it doesnt work 100 percent of the time, Ive gotten great results most of the times that Ive used this technique on my patients. If you suffer from daily tension headaches and are starting to have other, more serious symptoms - like tingling in your arms or weakness in your hands - acupressure isnt going to be very effective because you have too much spasm over too wide an area. Fortunately, theres a second technique for permanently getting rid of these spasms. Paul Bacho is a certified athletic trainer in Cleveland, Ohio with over 28 years experience treating patients with chronic pain. He’s also co-author of “How to Get Permanent Relief From Chronic Tension Headaches,” a holistic program that he’s used to help hundreds of people get rid of tension headaches.
