Freight Forwarding in Holland – Rotterdam Leads the Way

Posted by James Campos on August 25th, 2010

With an important position on the edge of Europe, Holland is an outward looking country with a strong economy. The freight forwarding infrastructure in Holland has seen substantially investment over recent years so as to help boost its overseas trade and its role at the heart of European international freight.

Holland’s location gives it easy access to markets in the UK and Germany, with the port of Rotterdam being the largest port in Europe. Rotterdam is a vital hub for freight transport.

Rotterdam is well geared up to handling the considerable volume of imports and exports that go through the port every day. There is an ongoing programme of improvement which keeps it at the leading edge of freight services, including the construction of Maaslakte 2, which is now under way.

The port has estimated that freight transport throughput will double to 22M Twenty Foot Equivalent Units (TEU) by 2020.

10 Things to Know Before You Retire

Posted by William C on August 21st, 2010

I created a few of the these “10 Things” lists myself, and this list provides some basic information on what to think about before entering retirement. 

However, in Number 8, the article states that “it is helpful to speak with a qualified attorney or estate planner to determine how best to handle your estate.” (Emphasis added.) This statement is misleading in that only an attorney can prepare an estate plan for someone.  Furthermore, it’s not just helpful to speak with an attorney, but if you want to make sure that you have protected your family, preserved your assets, and maximized any tax savings, it is imperative.  Everyone should see any estate planning attorney, and way before one starts thinking about retirement.

A few weeks ago I had my 18 year old son, who just headed off to college, sign a Will, Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Power of Attorney, Living Will and HIPAA Authorization. At his age, he may not care much about those documents, but I feel better knowing that if, for example, he is hospitalized and can’t communicate, I will have the power to communicate with the doctors and make decisions for him.

Posted by James Campos on August 19th, 2010

Solar lamp post lights may be the perfect application of solar power technology. These lights are typically used to provide light to a common neighborhood area and don’t require any power from the local utility to run. They generate all the power they need from the sunlight that strikes them and can provide great lighting all evening from a single charge.

An All-In-One Solution

These solar lamp post lights are a combination of several components that all work together to provide this wonderful free lighting solution. The main component is the solar panel. This solar panel is typically attached to the light’s housing in smaller versions of this solar outdoor lighting and will convert any sunlight that strikes it into electricity. In some of the larger versions of solar lamp post lights this solar panel is actually attached to the pole the light is mounted on and is somewhat larger in size.

A few people have emailed me lately asking questions about how much time we spend running our store on a day to day basis and I completely understand why. Running a business can be difficult and time consuming so it’s important to understand what one is getting into before taking the plunge. I even received one email from a reader who asked.

Why would I want to open an ecommerce site as opposed to something much more passive like affiliate marketing or blogging?

Passive Income?

First off, I just want to emphasize that no business is truly passive. No matter what, you have to put in a good amount of time and work upfront. In addition, there’s always some amount of effort involved to maintain your income stream once it has been established. The

Medicare Claim Matter in Probate Estate Removed to Federal Court

Posted by William C on August 12th, 2010

Probate and Estate Administration Matters Are Generally Handled in the State Courts – But Not Always, As One NC Executor Recently Found Out

Probate – the process of filing a deceased person’s will and administering the estate – is generally considered a matter exclusively for state courts. Federal courts are limited in the types of actions they can hear, and the “probate exception” generally excludes probate matters from the federal courts. The Supreme Court held in one case that the federal courts have no authority to “interfere with the probate proceedings or assume general jurisdiction of the probate or control of the property in the custody of the state court.” Markham v. Allen, 326 U.S. 490, 494 (1946). However, the probate exception does not necessarily exclude all probate-related matters from federal court, as one Executor of a North Carolina estate recently discovered.
