Checklist For Hiring An Office Relocation Company

Checklist For Hiring An Office Relocation Company

By Abhishek Agarwal

If you have a business that is growing rapidly, you may realise that you can't fit in to your primary offices anymore. You can’t find any further room for expansion. Sure, this is excellent for your business, but it can also produce its own share of challenges.

Office relocation is very taxing, both in terms of time and energy. Not to mention the stress that comes along with it. However, you need not fret! There are some things that you should be aware of before taking the plunge! A bit of planning will go a long way to ensure a smooth relocation.

For beginners, with all of the business that you are managing, it can be daunting to even organize an office relocation because of the effort that needs to go into it. Many corporations simply don't have the time or resources to manage a corporate relocation. Due to this, you would surely benefit from using the services of a business relocation company.

There are many individuals who specialize in helping corporations relocate. They have proper insight with the relocation process and know everything that you may overlook or avoid. They will be able to manage nearly all facets of the planning and implementation of your move, which will undoubtedly assist you in handling the situation more professionally.

Another important ground why you should take the help of relocation companies is because of the legal implications of your relocation. If you are relocating your headquarters only a town away, you probably won't face many rules and regulations.

But if you are contemplating on shifting your business out of the country, there are myriad laws, rules, and regulations that you will have to comply with in order to be sure that everything runs flawlessly.

Not all of these laws are obvious, so it is a clever idea to employ a business relocation company as they will already be quite proficient with these issues.

If you are thinking of relocating your business, you should search for an experienced office relocation company. This might be a difficult job. But there is a way out. The easiest way to finalize your relocation company is by talking to executives from other organizations.

If they have ever moved, they will be able to recommend which companies to go with. You might also consider comparing two of these companies and see which one offers the best price and service. If you get a good relocation company, your relocation process will become a whole lot simpler!

Relocation Tips

Relocation Tips

By Ross Bainbridge

Relocating is a major decision, especially when an entire family moves from one city to another. It has an impact on the financial status, daily routine of an individual and his or her contacts with friends and family. The cost of living is higher in many cities, giving rise to the need for a bigger pay packet. A thorough study of the job market is essential. Though employment opportunities may be plentiful, due consideration must be given to finding a job appropriate to ones qualifications.

Whether relocating to a nearby city or far across continents, the service of a relocation specialist is desirable. They have in-depth knowledge of all aspects of relocation and can make moving a pleasant experience. Relocation specialists provide valuable information related to the destination and relieve the stress of moving to a new environment. They also provide assistance on mortgage and destination assessments. The Web is the best place to find and compare relocation specialists.

Moving can be a trying time for many children. Often, family and friends are left behind. Children should be made to feel included in the relocation process and be made fully aware of where they are going. By being part of the relocation process, a child feels more involved and informed, reducing their levels of tension and fear. It is essential to ease their transition into a new home. Giving priority to their rooms, letting them join community organizations and escorting them to school in the initial stages of relocation, gives them a feeling of security.

On arrival in a new city, it is best to make use of the telephone directory and the Yellow Pages to locate local retailers, grocery stores, government agencies, and service providers. The local motor vehicle office must be approached for vehicle registration and a driver's license. Prior to reporting for a new job, it is important to unpack, relax and get acquainted with neighbours. Often, when people relocate, they have a need for interim housing. Realtors assist people find suitable interim or permanent homes.

Strategic planning and research on the city of one’s choice can ward off problems and minimize potential headaches involved with relocation. If planned well, moving can be an exciting and memorable experience.

Happy Bastille Day

14th July - The History of Bastille Day

The French national holiday commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on 14 July 1789 and marked the beginning of the French Revolution.

Several factors led to the Revolution. France had the largest population in Europe and not nearly enough food to feed it. The wealthy and growing bourgeoisie (the middle-class, merchants and businessmen) were allowed no political input or power. The poor were in a bad situation and it was getting worse. The country was nearing bankruptcy. By the late 1780s the people of France were fed up and began speaking out. Assemblies were held and demands of a constitution were made. When King Louis XVI and his queen, Marie Antoinette, tried to quiet the unrest, but the people rebelled.

The Bastille was a prison and a symbol of the absolute and arbitrary power of Louis the 16th's Ancient Regime. On July 14, 1789 the masses banded together and stormed the Bastille prison, a symbol of the corrupt political system. This began the Revolution and by capturing this symbol, the people signaled that the king's power was no longer absolute. Although the Bastille only held seven prisoners at the time of its capture, the storming of the prison was a symbol of liberty and the fight against oppression for all French citizens; like the Tricolore flag, it symbolized the Republic's three ideals: Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity for all French citizens. The following year on July 14th delegates from all regions of the France gathered in Paris to celebrate the Fête de la Fédération and proclaim their allegiance to one national community.

.

This made France a paragon for the rest of Europe and established them as a nation of liberty - the first time in history that a people had claimed their right to self-determination. Thus the storming of the Bastille marked the end of absolute monarchy, the birth of the sovereign Nation, and, eventually, the creation of the (First) Republic, in 1792.

Bastille Day was declared the French national holiday on 6 July 1880, on Benjamin Raspail's recommendation, when the new Republic was firmly entrenched. Bastille Day has such a strong significance for the French because the holiday symbolizes the birth of the Republic. As in the US, where the signing of the Declaration of Independence signaled the start of the American Revolution, in France the storming of the Bastille began the Great Revolution. In both countries, the national holiday symbolizes the beginning of a new form of government.

Pets Abandoned as Rental Crisis Bites

On 1st May News.com.au reported that there is an increase in "Pets being abandoned as rental crisis bites".

By Emily Macdonald

MEET the newest victims of our rental crisis. The RSPCA has been inundated with animals as owners are forced to abandon their pets due to an unforgiving rental market.

"We get a cat or dog brought in almost every day because its owners have moved to a place that doesn't allow pets,'' said Townsville RSPCA shelter manager Gail Lane.

"Most of the people we get in that situation are quite distressed because they've tried really hard to find somewhere that will let them take the cat or the dog.

"At the moment rental properties are quite hard to come by so sometimes it comes down to the fine line of either the family get a roof over their head or they get to keep their pet and unfortunately some people have to make hard decisions.''

However there may be a solution.

Ms Lane said the RSPCA was in the process of rolling out a new scheme which would allow the RSPCA to `vouch' for pets to property owners and real estate agents.

"The RSPCA is looking at trying to contact rental agencies and property owners to see if they would join with us in coming up with a solution,'' Ms Lane said.

"If a pet comes through our centre, we can confirm it is clean, healthy, microchipped, vaccinated, well adjusted, toilet trained, is not destructive and has passed a behavioural assessment.

Ms Lane said the RSPCA urged property owners not to stereotype pet owners and to assess each potential tenant based on their merits.

"There's always going to be the people who rent out their home and a dog trashes the property.
"Unfortunately the next person who tries to rent that property and wants to bring their dog gets knocked back because the experience has been bad for the owner of the property.

"When you rent your property you find out if people have a job, if they can afford to pay the rent and whether they have a good credit rating so now let's find out if they are good pet owners too, and if they are, give them a go.

"I would urge people who own properties and are renting them out to look at each person individually and talk to them about the animal they've got and find out about the exercise level the dog has and anything else they're concerned about.''

A distraught former pet owner told the Townsville Bulletin about her heartwrenching decision to give up her two cats.

"I adopted two kittens that had been dumped in a garbage bin after I finally moved to a rental property where I could have pets,'' she said.

"Then suddenly I had to move and it was impossible to find a new place, let alone one that allowed two pets.

"I was absolutely devastated to leave them at the RSPCA and cried for days but I had no other choice.

"It was either find them a new home or I wouldn't have a home.''

Mortgage Calculator in Australia - Part 2

The Mortgage Calculator in Australia provides a good guide as to how much you can borrower on a loan. If you are in the market for a mortgage you may choose to use the services of a mortgage consultant or a mortgage manager and one of the first tools they will use is a Mortgage Calculator.

There are three different types of Mortgage Calculators in Australia:-

• Mortgage Calculator to borrower money on residential home loans
• Mortgage Calculator to borrower money for personal loans
• Mortgage Calculator to borrower money for commercial/ business loans

The Mortgage Calculator in Australia also provides other benefits:-

• The Mortgage Calculator in Australia can determine the repayment amount required to repay your loan over a length of time - For example Loan Amount: $150,000, Term of Loan: 30 years, Interest Rate: 8.00%, Monthly Repayment $1089.93 per month

• The Mortgage Calculator in Australia can determine the repayment on different frequencies. Monthly repayment, fortnightly repayment and weekly repayment

• The Mortgage Calculator in Australia provides an interest rate benchmark on qualifying the loan at a higher interest rate. The Mortgage Calculator determines that the borrower can repay the loan at the current rate, but can also determine that the borrower can comfortably make repayments on the loan if there are any future interest rate rises.

• The Mortgage Calculator in Australia can determine how quickly you can pay out your mortgage, by paying extra money into your mortgage, on a monthly, fortnightly or weekly basis.
In Australia you can find many various Mortgage Calculators on the internet.

Most of the Mortgage Calculators perform the same job, that is: determining what you can borrower on the financial income that you input into to the Mortgage Calculator.

The Mortgage Calculator in Australia - Part 1

Many easy to use mortgage calculators in Australia are available online today and these will answer many of your mortgage related questions, be it how much you can borrow, how much your repayments will be and the effect of additional repayments.

.

In Australia a mortgage calculator may even compare different home loan options available for you.

When using a mortgage calculator to ascertain how much you can borrow it should be used as a guide only. The result will give you a general idea of your borrowing potential and therefore what sort of property you can start hunting for!

.

In conjunction with this you may also wish to use another loan calculator which can work out your approximate monthly repayments due. The calculated results can assist with your personal budgeting and help you decide how much you believe you can afford to borrow given your personal circumstances.

The repayment loan calculator can also help you compare different scenarios such as possible rate increases, the difference between paying weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments or the effect on repayments given different loan terms.

.

Though the standard loan term in Australia is 25 - 30 years a shorter term can be taken - the mortgage calculator lets you know how much your monthly repayments will increase if you choose to take a shorter loan term.

Another useful tool is the 'Extra Repayments' calculator. This will show the effect of additional repayments being made over the term of the loan. The mortgage calculator will show you that if you make additional or extra repayments you will can substantially lower the interest paid over the life of the loan and also have your home loan paid off a lot quicker.

Given there are so many loan products available, if you are looking for finance in Australia today, a mortgage calculator can be a very effective tool when weighing up your financial/budgeting options.

Happy Birthday America

U.S. Independence Day a Civic and Social Event

Americans celebrate July 4, 1776, adoption of Declaration of Independence
Washington -- The United States celebrates its Independence Day on July 4, a day of patriotic celebration and family events throughout the country. In the words of Founding Father John Adams, the holiday would be “the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance. … It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

The Fourth of July holiday is a major civic occasion, with roots deep in the Anglo-American tradition of political freedom.

A SUMMER HOLIDAY

Each year, crowds of visitors flock to the National Mall -- the grassy expanse between the U.S. Capitol and the Washington Monument -- for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, which always takes place on two weekends overlapping the Fourth of July holiday. The 2008 festival celebrates the culture of Bhutan, the music, food and wine of Texas and the history of NASA and the U.S. space program. (See “Bhutan, Others Come to Washington for Folklife Festival.”)
Throughout the United States, Fourth of July fireworks displays are popular, from the spectacular exhibition on the National Mall to more modest fireworks shows in city parks across the land. In New York City, Macy's department store for 31 years has sponsored what it bills as the nation’s largest July 4 fireworks display. In 2008, the 30-minute show will feature 35,000 shells launched from six barges afloat in the East River and in New York Harbor. Macy’s estimates that more than 3 million will watch in person. The event has been televised nationally in recent years.

"The Fourth" is a family celebration. Picnics and barbeques are common. July is summer in the United States, and millions of Americans escape the heat at beaches and other vacation spots. Independence Day is not among the legal holidays fixed on a Monday or Friday, but many employees use vacation time to create an extended weekend.

Construction of important public works sometimes begins on July 4. The Erie Canal, Washington Monument and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (the nation's first) all broke ground on Independence Day. The date reflects a desire symbolically to stamp these projects as true civic improvements.

A CIVIC OCCASION

The Fourth of July is a time when elected officials and other public figures often give speeches extolling American traditions and values.

Independence Day has provided some of this nation's most stirring words of freedom. In 1788, Founding Father James Wilson addressed a Philadelphia gathering that was possibly the largest July 4 celebration in the young nation's history. He exhorted his fellow citizens to ratify the proposed Constitution. "A people, free and enlightened,” he said, “establishing and ratifying a system of government … A WHOLE PEOPLE exercising its first and greatest power -- performing an act of SOVEREIGNTY, ORIGINAL and UNLIMITED.”

On July 4, 1852, the black journalist and abolitionist Frederick Douglass decried the evils of slavery, still prevalent in the American South at that time, but identified forces "drawing encouragement from the Declaration of Independence, the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions in operation" that "must inevitably work The downfall of slavery."

Ninety years later, near the darkest moments of World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt reminded the nation that for the "weary, hungry, unequipped Army of the American Revolution … the Fourth of July was a tonic of hope and inspiration. So is it now…. The tough, grim men who fight for freedom in this dark hour take heart in its message -- the assurance of the right to liberty under God -- for all peoples and races and groups and nations, everywhere in the world.”
On July 4, 2001, President George W. Bush spoke outside Independence Hall, Philadelphia, birthplace of the Declaration of Independence. That document, he said, continues to represent "the standard to which we hold others, and the standard by which we measure ourselves. Our greatest achievements have come when we have lived up to these ideals. Our greatest tragedies have come when we have failed to uphold them."

Across the nation, civic leaders of even the most humble station echo these words, and their audiences give thanks for the freedom and liberties that the founding generation won for all Americans.

I'd love to See the Family Room!!

Professional Long Distance Moving Company - Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Hire One

By Jennifer A Strong

Whether you're moving long or short distance, hiring a professional moving company is a great idea, and here are just ten reasons why we think so...

1. Professional moving companies are just that - Professional! They move people like you every day and they know exactly what they're doing. This means that your move should go as smoothly as possible.

2. Companies will be able to give you a quote for your move - this means that you can budget in advance as to how much your move will cost, and can figure out how much money you have left for other expenses.

3. Professional moving companies can pack your belongings for you - this is such a great service and really worth considering spending a little more for it. We often don't appreciate just how long it will take to pack our belongings, but your moving company will send a team of professionals to your home who will have it done in next to no time, or if you prefer to save this additional expense you can choose to pack yourself but use the company's packing materials.

4. Professional moving companies are insured - this means that all your worldly goods will be protected should something go wrong.

5. Your moving team who arrive on the day of your move are specially trained for this - they have health and safety training and know exactly how they should pick up heavy items without injuring themselves.

6. The team also knows exactly how they need to pack the truck, or container - so as to ensure that your belongings are safely secured and have the minimal chance of moving whilst in transit and being damaged.

7. Professional moving companies are well versed in the art of moving - meaning that they are an invaluable source of information and should be able to give you all sorts of advice and help about the upheaval involved when moving house.

8. Should anything go wrong on your moving day, professionals should know what to do and how to cope in a crisis!

9. Moving companies can offer you great rates on other services too - such as storage, should you need it, and additional insurance cover amongst others.

10. Best of all, professional moving companies are there to do the hard work so you don't have to, meaning that your moving day can be as stress free and easy-going as possible!

Happy Canada Day

Background

On June 20, 1868, a proclamation signed by the Governor General, Lord Monck, called upon all Her Majesty's loving subjects throughout Canada to join in the celebration of the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on July 1st.

The July 1 holiday was established by statute in 1879, under the name Dominion Day.
There is no record of organized ceremonies after this first anniversary, except for the 50th anniversary of Confederation in 1917, at which time the new Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings, under construction, was dedicated as a memorial to the Fathers of Confederation and to the valour of Canadians fighting in the First World War in Europe.

The next celebration was held in 1927 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation. It was highlighted by the laying of the cornerstone by the Governor General of the Confederation Building on Wellington Street and the inauguration of the Carillon in the Peace Tower.

Since 1958, the government has arranged for an annual observance of Canada's national day with the Secretary of State of Canada in charge of the coordination. The format provided for a Trooping the Colours ceremony on the lawn of Parliament Hill in the afternoon, a sunset ceremony in the evening followed by a mass band concert and fireworks display.

Another highlight was Canada's Centennial in 1967 when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II attended the celebrations with Parliament Hill again being the backdrop for a large scale official ceremony.

The format changed in 1968 with the addition of multicultural and professional concerts held on Parliament Hill including a nationally televised show. Up until 1975, the focus of the celebrations, under the name "Festival Canada", was held in the National Capital Region during the whole month of July and involved numerous cultural, artistic and sport activities, as well as municipalities and voluntary organizations. The celebration was cancelled in 1976 but was reactivated in 1977.

A new formula was developed in 1980 whereby the National Committee (the federal government organization charged with planning Canada's Birthday celebrations) stressed and sponsored the development of local celebrations all across Canada. "Seed money" was distributed to promote popular and amateur activities organized by volunteer groups in hundreds of local communities. The same approach was also followed for the 1981 celebrations with the addition of fireworks displays in 15 major cities across the nation.

On October 27, 1982, July 1st which was known as "Dominion Day" became "Canada Day".
Since 1985, Canada Day Committees are established in each province and territory to plan, organize and coordinate the Canada Day celebrations locally. Grants are provided by the Department to those committees.

Fête du Canada
Généralités
Le 20 juin 1868, une proclamation signée par le gouverneur général, lord Monck, enjoignait à tous les sujets de Sa Majesté, partout au Canada, de célébrer ensemble, le 1er juillet, jour anniversaire de l'union des provinces en une fédération appelée Canada, en vertu de l'Acte de l'Amérique du Nord britannique.

Une loi fédérale de 1879 fit du 1er juillet un jour férié sous la désignation de « jour anniversaire de la Confédération » (plus tard « fête du Dominion »).

Aucun document ne mentionne de cérémonies après ce premier anniversaire, si ce n'est lors du 50e anniversaire de la Confédération, en 1917. À ce moment, le palais du Parlement, alors en construction, fut dédié aux Pères de la Confédération et au courage des Canadiens qui avaient combattu dans la Grande Guerre, en Europe.

La célébration suivante eut lieu en 1927, à l'occasion du soixantième anniversaire de la Confédération. Les points saillants furent alors la pose de la pierre angulaire de l'édifice de la Confédération, rue Wellington, par le gouverneur général, et l'inauguration du carillon de la tour de la Paix.

Depuis 1958, le gouvernement organise annuellement la célébration de la fête nationale du Canada, dont il confie la coordination au secrétaire d'État du Canada. Le déroulement habituel prévoit un salut au drapeau l'après-midi dans les parterres de la colline du Parlement, une cérémonie du crépuscule pendant la soirée, suivie d'un concert de musique militaire et de feux d'artifice.

L'année 1967, centenaire de la Confédération, fut aussi marquée de façon spéciale. Sa Majesté la reine Elizabeth II a participé aux célébrations, et, encore une fois, la colline du Parlement a servi de décor à une cérémonie de grande envergure.

Depuis 1968, un grand spectacle multiculturel et professionnel est présenté sur la colline du Parlement. Ce concert est télédiffusé dans tout le pays. Jusqu'à 1975, les principales célébrations (sous l'appellation de « Festival Canada ») se tenaient dans la région de la capitale nationale pendant tout le mois de juillet et comportaient de nombreuses activités culturelles, artistiques et sportives, ainsi que la participation de diverses municipalités et associations bénévoles. Cette célébration fut annulée en 1976, puis reprise en 1977.

Une nouvelle formule fut élaborée en 1980. Le comité national (groupe chargé par le gouvernement fédéral de planifier les célébrations de l'anniversaire du Canada) commença alors à encourager et à soutenir financièrement la mise sur pied, un peu partout au Canada, de festivités locales. Des « fonds de démarrage » furent alors distribués pour soutenir les activités populaires et les spectacles d'amateurs organisés par des groupes de bénévoles dans des centaines de localités. La même méthode fut retenue pour les célébrations de 1981, avec, en plus, des feux d'artifice dans 15 villes importantes du pays.

Le 27 octobre 1982, le 1er juillet, qui jusque-là s'appelait « fête du Dominion », devint officiellement la « fête du Canada ».

Depuis 1985, des comités de la fête du Canada existent dans chaque province et territoire, avec mission de planifier, d'organiser et de coordonner les célébrations locales. Le Ministère fournit des subventions à ces comités.
