Paella Miami: An Authentic Spanish Dish


Miami, Florida is ranked the seventh largest city in the United States with a population of over 5,400,000 people. Located on the Atlantic coast, Miami is an extremely popular city to visit and to live in and it has been dubbed The Gateway to the Americas because of the variety of cultures to which Miami is home. Food is one of the many areas in which this meshing of cultures is apparent. It is possible to find all varieties of food in Miami from fine French cuisine to authentic Italian dishes and more. Rising in popularity in Miami is the category of Spanish foods including paella. Paella Miami can be found in many restaurants all over the city and tourists to the area should not leave without giving it a try.


The name paella is derived from the Old French word paella which means pan. Valencians refer to all types of pans as paella, including the special, shallow type used for cooking paellas. A paella pan is typically shallow and round, made of polished steel and featuring two handles. The national dish of Spain, paella is a rice dish that comes in three varieties. Valencian paella consists of white rice, green vegetables, snails, beans, seasoning, and meat such as rabbit, chicken, or duck. This type of paella was frequently cooked for special occasions in the 18th century, utilizing the open air of the Valencian orchards. Early paella used marsh rat as a main ingredient, but as living standards rose in the 19th century, paella ingredients began to change in order to include rabbit, chicken, and duck in place of marsh rat and eel. The second type of paella, seafood paella, was developed along the Mediterranean coast. Seafood paella is much the same as Valencian paella but it replaces the snails and meat with seafood.


Throughout the 20th century, the popularity of this dish spread past the borders of Spain and many other cultures began to create paella-like dishes. As a result, paella recipes went from being rather simple to being more complex, including a variety of seafood, sausage, and other meats. The third type of paella is referred to as mixed paella and it consists of a combination of meat, seafood, vegetables, and occasionally beans. Some Spanish restaurants and some in other countries like the United States serve this type of paella under the name Valencian paella, but Valencians claim that only the original Valencian recipe can boast this name.


Paella Miami can be found in any of these three varieties and there are many restaurants which have perfected their recipes to the degree that their paella delivers a near-perfect reflection of the paella you would taste in Spain. For those who enjoy new dining experiences, paella Miami is a great way to experience the cuisine of a different culture. Because it is such a popular dish, many Miami restaurants serve paella so it is even possible to sample a variety of recipes to get an even fuller experience.

These Old-Fashion Beef birds Are Made With Round Steak. Try Them Soon!


I am a firm believer in family-style meals at home several times a week for todays busy families.  This is a time for family bonding, discussion, and passing on family values to the younger generation.  Call me old-fashion but I do believe that a lot of our old-fashion recipes are the best route to go here.  They are easy, usually inexpensive, mostly healthy or can be adjusted to be, and they are tasty.   This recipe is a perfect example.  The ingredients are relatively inexpensive, easy to prepare, and can easily be adjusted to make it more healthy by using lower-fat cheese, canola oil instead of solid shortening, and cutting the amount of salt in half.


OLD FASHIONED BEEF BIRDS

This recipe is another from the area where I grew up in Southern Indiana.


1 1/2 lb round steak

1/2 lb fresh mushrooms

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup flour

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

3 tbsp shortening

1 can condensed consomme

1/2 tsp dry mustard


Cut the steak into 6 serving pieces and pound with a meat mallet or the edge of a saucer.


Chop the mushrooms and mix with the onion and Cheddar cheese. Put 3 tablespoons of the mixture in the center of each piece of steak; reserve remaining mixture. Roll the beef pieces jellyroll style and fasten with a wooden toothpick. In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the meat rolls in the flour mixture, rolling to cover all sides.


Melt the shortening in a large skillet and brown the meat rolls in the skillet. Pour off the drippings. Combine the consomme and dry mustard; add to the skillet with the steak rolls. Cover and cook slowly for 45 minutes. Add the remaining cheese mixture to skillet and continue to slow cook for another 45 minutes. If desired, thicken the liquid with some cornstarch or flour to make a gravy to serve over the steak rolls.


Enjoy!

Vancouver’s Slow Market – The Acid Test of Your Realtor’s Marketing Plan 12-04-2011 19:48

Vancouvers Slow Market – The Acid Test of Your Realtors Marketing Plan


Any realtor can look like a rock star during a hot market when buyers are lining up and subject-free offers are pouring through the door. Its when things slow down and the market trends toward a buyers market that the real estate agent really has to earn her commission cheque.


In my experience, when things slow down, its the realtors with a concrete marketing plan that includes a healthy mix of traditional and online strategies that rise to the top. The agents that have simply been relying on the MLS to move their listings find their business grinding to a halt. Listings go stale, agents panic about a dwindling marketing fund and clients start to question whether their agents business model is doing enough to drive qualified buyers in a slow market.


First and foremost this is where a solid and diversified marketing plan is key. Without one, you are doing what 99% of all the other stale listings are doing. Make sure your agents plan includes a good dose of online exposure because without it you are selling yourself short in big way.


With todays technology tools such as laptops, Ipads, smart phones all connected by the internet with useful applications of every imaginable kind, potential buyers of your property might be in Hong Kong, Tokyo or London. They might want to communicate with you directly or might just be following your blog or tweets to get more information to help their purchase decision. You cannot afford not to be reaching this potential audience.


Take a close look at your agents online presence. Google them and their business to see what comes up. Chances are if they havent made an effort to build themselves an online presence, theyre not going to have a clue how to promote your property online. Most realtors will talk about their

Wild Boar Attack 12-04-2011 18:02

Wild Boar Attack


In the periodical press, and sometimes in hunting literature there are reports about the aggressiveness of wild boars. Particularly distinguished with bulls with their overly sharp fangs. But what is characteristic in describing these cases are rarely seen reasoned analysis of what happened, motives beast.

Over the past more than twenty years, when our accustomed Hunting wild boar, the military garrison hunting-Kicks dramatic meetings with them was not. And yet, conversations, and rumors still negatively affect the psyche of other hunters, especially those who first comes to the shooting of wild boar. I confess, has been spared in his youth and I am such an impact after the story well-wishers that, they say, wild boar hunting for days waiting under the tree, which got him in search of salvation. Some of the young hunters, first set foot on the shooting room, sometimes deliberately create noise or movement, if only pigs did not come to them.

According to our observations, all the unpleasant consequences of meeting with boars, including the wounded fledglings often occur because of violations of hunting regulations and lack of knowledge of the behavior of the animal.


Wild boar is wary of the man, to avoid meeting him, if possible. Once the fall rather large bill was wandering on the outskirts of the city and lay down to rest in the bushes about ten meters from the pedestrian walkway. In the morning, adults and students poluokruzhili lying boar, some threw him bread, which he had not touched. Soon the molestation of people being tired, he got up and slowly walked into the suburban woods. And if the bill were surrounded on all sides and sharply scared? Trying to escape, it is possible he could knock down any of the onlookers.

What we have seen from the behavior of wild boars?

In an unexpected uplift boar with maturation, he usually makes several jumps in a straight line and only then begins to maneuver. If the hunter will at this point opposite the boar, the boar can run with him and inadvertently cause injury.

Wild boar are very strong at the wound. In one of battue hunting in my room came a strong bill and stood about ten feet from me, his head bowed. In the forehead, I did not shoot him, and when, after a few tense seconds, he placed a shovel, I fired. After the shot he made six jumps (about 30 meters) and fell down dead. At the autopsy proved that the bullet had clipped the top of the heart. What would happen to me, I did not show exposure. Even the spring away would not be time.


Here is an example. In winter, when snow is deep penetrations boar trail in a single trench. In this case, the hunter is better to stand in the cutting away from the trail about 15 meters, so that when the output of a wild boar from the shelter it was possible to shoot under the spade. It was in our field case where M. forester rose to number in the trench. A beaters drove him wild boar. After the shot, badly wounded beast leaps continued movement. Forester did not have time to jump out and the bill helped him, pried a soft spot fang. In severe trauma the forester was taken to hospital. Wild boar is a fifty meters down. I think it was not an attack against the beast of a hunter, but a natural animal behavior by eliminating the obstacles that interfere with him.

On another occasion, after firing an adult boar fell, then rose and began to move around in 10-12 meters from the hunter. After a second fatal shot came into the clearing toward the hunter. Pick up his, walked three meters, reappeared in the cutting and fell. When apprised of the reasons for such bends, it turned out: The first bullet hit the beast in the acoustic opening. He was stunned. If the hunter does not have the experience and exposure, this case also could be ranked as an attempt to attack.


As the experience of hunting, even mortally wounded boar is trying to get away from the hunter. In this first wild boar running at full gallop, then moves into a trot and a pace. The length of its route to the first maturation depends on the severity of injury, at the end of turn, before lezhky, the beast starts to do loop, and sometimes lies close to the previously covered seats. With careful pursuit wounded animal, especially in mild weather when you do not hear the steps, a wounded beast, too late to hear the approach of the hunter jumped up sharply, and if the hunter will be in range of his jumps, wild boars can knock down the pursuer, while injure.

We had several days to pursue wounded game, but there was no case to boar, seeing the hunter, attacked him.

Experience shows that the best way Dobor wounded animal  a second salary. Having established, in which quarter is a beast, putting the numbers shooters, but the fold is a hunter, wounding the boar,

How does sugar affect yeast intolerance?


Yeast is a fungus organism that feed on sugar and produces gas. We need certain amount yeast in our body to maintain a normal and healthy digestive tract. However, too much yeast in our body will give rise to many health problems. Overgrowth of yeast produces toxins like acetaldehyde, zymosan, arabinitol, gliotoxin, alcohol that can harm our body. The most common type of yeast is Candida and it lives harmlessly in our body’s digestive tract controlled by good bacteria.


Sugar provides energy for our body and is a fuel for the brain. Most of us consumed more sugar than needed daily. Sugars are commonly found in soda drinks, alcoholic drinks, sugary drinks, confectionary and processed foods. Candida feeds on sugar and when the good bacteria in our digestive tract are destroyed by our intake of antibiotics and oral contraceptives, it will result in overproduction of Candida. This overproduction could give rise to yeast infection or Candidiasis, stomach bloating, tiredness, skin disorder, sugar craving and more.


When you avoid or reduce sugar intake, it will significant help eliminate symptoms of yeast intolerances. It is important to be aware that sugars are not only found in processed food and sugary drinks, it is also in most fruit and vegetables. When you begin your yeast free diet, besides eliminating sugar, sweetener and processed food, it is also good to reduce intake of high sugar fruit like grapes, apple and honey melon. Vegetables such as carrots and sweet potato are also high in sugar. Supplement your sugar free diet with the essential vitamins found in fruit and vegetables.


Once Candida is controlled, small amount of sugar can be re introduced into the diet by increasing high sugar fruit and vegetables intake.

Marine tourism economy 12-04-2011 17:41

Marine tourism economy


Marine tourism economy is based on marine natural resources for tourism launched an economic activity. As the marine tourism economy is a branch of tourism economy, marine tourism economy should be in the tourism economy on the basis of further development. Ninth Five-Year Early, the State Council formulated the China Ocean Agenda 213, established a marine economic development strategy. The general idea of actively explore the ocean, including the tertiary industry, according to the requirements of a modern port city, to speed up the construction of ports and sea lanes, supporting construction of various marine services and facilities, the coastal cities into sightseeing, entertainment, holiday, rehabilitation, shopping, convention and exhibition and other full-featured marine tourism economic zone. This means that Chinas marine tourism industry in Chinas marine economy, a new bright spot.


Bring tourism economy, with 20 years ago, has been recognized in the academic community, will not be unfamiliar. But talking about marine tourism economy (Marine tourism economy), there may be a kind of strangeness. This is not surprising, because Marine tourism economy is a new concept, it is narrowly based on the extension of tourism economy out of a new economy. As the early 20th century 70 high seas This new view has been moved, very quickly in many countries by the world politicians, economists, scientists agree, like, Marine tourism economy, this concept will soon for human acceptance.


Today, tourism has become the backbone industries of the world economy, as an economic industry involved in the operation of the entire socio-economic activities has become an integral part of the national economy. Indispensable in the tourism economy of tourism supply resources, coastal scenery, blue sea, island scenery, Underwater World and other ocean-related natural resources account for a large part. However, the number of tourist resources are marine resources, tourism revenues in the number of travel from the ocean is currently not possible to strictly separate the region.


For example, a coastal city of tourism development may largely depend on coastal scenery, seaside landscape, aquarium, sea and other marine resources to carry out the world. Logically speaking tourists in the coastal city of tourism should belong to the scope of the marine tourism, tourist spending should belong to the marine tourism revenue, coastal cities have access to economic benefits should also be attributed to marine tourist economy. However, due to the concept of marine tourism economy is still in the cradle, in economic statistics, it is usually travel as a tourist economy, income statistics, but it did not separate the economy as a marine tourism income statistics. This is because the tourism economy with elements of the marine tourism economy, marine tourism economy in the tourism economy of subsidiary needs to mature in the tourism economy based on the further expansion of marine tourism economy can be said that a branch of the tourist economy, are part of the tourism economy .


As we all know, tourism is an economic industry. Then the use of marine resources and the development of marine tourism should also be an economic industry. To promote marine-based tourism and economic development of marine economy, marine tourism economy can be formed. See marine tourism economy is to the marine natural resources for tourism carried out an economic activity.

As the marine tourism economy is a branch of tourism economy, marine tourism economy should be in the tourism economy on the basis of further development. But Chinas tourism economy is an economy came near, only 20 years of history, not very mature, coupled with the statistical limitations of the data and related information, can be said that a branch of tourism economy  marine tourism economy also belongs to a previous area of research is not involved. A new concept of the recognized need time to study the new concept of information content, data need to accumulate. In the absence of detailed information and specific data on the situation, this can not be a detailed analysis and verification of data to the marine nature tourism economy and its economic benefits, just the view from the use of marine resources, marine economy and tourism to explain the relationship between the economy and its commonality of the economic development of marine tourism ideas.


History has proved that all the countries to develop marine economy may apply national power strong, otherwise declining national power. All times, no exceptions. With the acceleration of globalization, the world economy is increasingly to the coastal layout together, Chinas economy has never been dependent on the sea, has

What is Good Mental Health? 12-04-2011 17:38


Оригинал сообщения

Lets talk about your mental health.


Note your initial reaction to that suggestion. What do you expect when someone wants to talk about your mental health? In our society, people often expect to hear some kind of criticism. The little man or woman inside may be accusing me of thinking you are crazy.


Pay attention—I want to talk about your mental health—your mental and emotional assets. I believe that discussions about anything mental in our society should begin with assets—so that all parties come to the table with the understanding that people are not labels. Any person, who has ever had a condition such as depression, bipolar, anxiety, schizophrenia etc., must separate the diagnosis from their definition of themselves.


So what is mental health?


This question has been a question of hot debate since people began thinking about their thinking. In the past, mental health, as well as health in general, was defined as the absence of a disease or illness. This definition would define someone who spends their day doing nothing more than watching television as mentally healthy when they have the capacity to do much more.


Current definitions of mental health involve behaviors of coping, productivity, and quality connections with others.


1. The World Health Organization definition (World Health Organization 2007):


A state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.


2. The Surgeon General of the United States definition (Department of Health and Human Services 1999):


The successful performance of mental function, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with other people, and the ability to adapt to change and cope with adversity.


What Can Mental Health Do?


Though mental health and health both involve our body, mental health generally refers to the effective functioning of our thoughts, moods, and behaviors (Public Health Service 2001). Effective thoughts, moods, and behaviors lead us to take care of ourselves, physically and mentally. We pay attention to what we eat, how we feel, how we interact. We are able to detect when something is off and make the necessary adjustments. We help build a world that facilitates the health and mental health of others.


Mental health is the foundation of our health. There is no health without mental health (World Health Organization 2007).


Do I Have Mental Health?


Everybody has mental health—thoughts, moods, and behaviors that work. The answers to the following questions can help you identify the mental health you possess:


What mental processes and behaviors can help me keep going every day, as well as during times of crisis?

How can I mobilize my effective mental processes and behaviors to recover from illness?

How can I use my effective mental processes and behaviors to have a more abundant life?

Do You Want to Know More?


Stay tuned to Moxie Mental Health, where stories of how real people have transformed themselves, their families, and the world around them are posted three times weekly: Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.


The next blog will discuss research from the field of Positive Psychology that has identified and classified specific mental strengths. The blog will help you identify several specific mental strengths that you own. Your strengths can be your means of encountering the difficulties you face with spirit and courage—enabling you to emerge from the fire as a grander, more magnificent person.

Hedge Fund Argentina 11-04-2011 19:25


Оригинал сообщения

Hedge Fund Argentina


While the majority of hedge funds in the region have their operations located in the Brazilian cities of Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, Argentina, despite the political and economic uncertainty that continues to affect the country, has attracted its share of funds as well. Almost all funds located in the country are headquartered in Buenos Aires, and use their base in Argentina as an advantage pertaining to investments in the country.


The Argentine market presents significant opportunity for those hedge funds looking to examine: 1) Distressed opportunities in the corporate debt space; 2) Equities that trade at the lowest valuation in the region; 3) Sovereign debt in the local and international market. Argentine corporate and sovereign debt issues have experienced massive rallies in recent months due to declining risk aversion globally and growing confidence that the government of Cristina Kirchner can avoid a sovereign credit event in the near term. Argentina CDS spreads have narrowed from approximately 4,000 basis points at the height of the crisis to 700 basis points currently. Equities have rallied over 100% in the last six months.


After the 2001 debt default and the political noise in recent years, Argentina has not been on the radar of many global or even emerging markets hedge funds. In fact, Argentina’s equity market was recently delisted from the MSCI Emerging Markets index, and is now classified as a Frontier Market. Brazil, and to a lesser extent Chile and Mexico, command the majority of investor attention in the region. Consequently, those hedge funds based in Argentina have been, at times, able to benefit from less researched corporate bonds and stocks. While liquidity in many Argentine assets is poor, hedge funds in Argentina typically have fewer assets under management than their Brazilian counterparts and are thus able to traffic in these less liquid assets. Sell-side research efforts focused on Argentina have also been cut back in recent years, as investment banks have reduced costs associated with a small market. This allows local funds to benefit from their in-country contacts, conduct in-depth research efforts not being done elsewhere, and often secure outsized returns as a result. Local funds maintain and develop good relationships with senior management at locally domiciled companies. Given the size of the local market, access to CEOs and CFOs is often easier when compared to other countries in the region or in emerging markets. Furthermore, private equity investment opportunities can present themselves in industries such as real estate and agribusiness at very attractive valuations. Being located in Argentina allows local funds the ability to access these opportunities thanks to their web of contacts.


Argentine assets should continue to trade at a substantial valuation discount when compared to its investment grade rated counterparts in Brazil, Chile and Mexico. Additionally, with a questionable macroeconomic policy mix, investment managers globally may shy away from committing on the ground resources to the country. As a result, those hedge funds located on the ground in Argentina garner the potential to deliver outsized returns in a less competitive marketplace.


Convex Fund


Convex Fund is a hedge fund managed from Argentina and specialized in Latin America. The fund is multi-strategy and multi-asset class. The book is divided among several strategies, including but not limited to long-short equities, dollar fixed income relative value, local currency fixed income relative value, Latin American currencies and distress. The Fund’s strategy varies according to the global environment and the regional situation, but is flexible enough to shift from purely quantitative-oriented relative value trades to special situations or distressed assets. Generally speaking, Convex follows a top-down approach (i.e., it is a macro fund with focus in Latin America). The exceptions to this rule are the equities and distressed strategies, which are carried out using a bottom-up approach. Management is highly experienced in trading Latin American assets, and has more than 40 years of combined experience in doing so. Management’s track record in running Latin assets goes back to the late 1980s, and has 10 years of proven and audited track record managing hedge funds, with an average yearly return of over 15% and virtually no negative years. Although based in Buenos Aires, returns come from different markets, such as Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil and Chile. Convex has presence wherever there is a liquid market to trade and a situation that could generate alpha. Although there have been significant improvements in many of the countries in the region, Latin American markets continue to be highly volatile and

Patient Information Point


Patient Information Point has been designed in response to the need for more efficient use of staff at surgeries. Providing the facility to deliver a patient call system and the provision of generalised information such as NHS lifecheck to patients waiting for their appointments. Patient information point works well with existing systems such as the NHS lifecheck initiative.

kiosks4business has used its myframework common framework to provide a set of wide ranging features for a surgery as follows:


Integrated Patient Appointment System

The web-based Patient Appointment works from any standard pc screen and allows reception staff to enter, delete, modify the details of any appointment that a registered patient wishes to make. New patients can be added using this console as well as being able to import patient lists from other database sources. If a patients e-mail address or text number is included in his details a message can be sent to either service to confirm or remind customers of their appointment as well as to advise customers that they have missed their appointment.


Patient Check-In Screen

One of our compact mykiosk touchscreen systems is employed as the check-in system. There is a built in attract loop which is designed to be attractive and provides direct access to a choice of languages. The attract loop is the default screen and appears after a timeout after the last user has finished using the screen. Once touched the system takes the user directly to a check-in screen where he can check himself in by means of a few quick touches. The system provides a wealth of other related information for users to look at after they have checked in and the most popular information that people look at can be used to drive the content on the larger screen in the waiting room.


Patient Queuing System

We have taken the concept of automated patient check-in and improved it further. Once a patient has checked in they move from the appointment queue to the checked-in queue. The checked-in queue is managed by each practitioner using another screen based tool. By pressing the next patient button on his PC screen the system automatically sends a message to the patient information screen in the waiting room which invites the next patient to proceed to his GP appointment.


Patient Information Screen

The Patient Information Screen is a large format display screen which is located in the patient waiting room. The screen has two modes; patient call and attract loop mode. When a patient is called by a GP there is a discrete tone to call attention and the screen displays the patients name along with the GPs name underneath. After a short timeout the screen returns to attract loop mode. In attract loop mode the screen plays out information useful to patients, for example how to get flu jabs or clinics in the local area. The attract loop is configurable by a web-based management console and so can be kept up to date easily. The screen itself is bright and clear. It has a custom designed fascia with the practice name and logo printed on its front surface. An option with the Patient Information Screen is to integrate an annunciator which, via a loudspeaker, then verbalises the patient call, avoiding the normally unclear, unintelligible, patient calls more familiar today.


Optionally, other kiosk4business functional modes can be incorporated within the system. SurveyPoint for example, when incorporated, could very simply ask your patients a few simple questions about the service they received at the Surgery.

Property Investment in Cape Verde


Cape Verde Islands consist of various islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean 450km off the Western Coast of Africa, being only 6 hours flight from the UK the islands are referred to as the “European Caribbean” for its beautiful tropical setting.


The locals on the island say to leave Cape Verde is to only begin dreaming about your return, today people are looking to Cape Verde for a different type of return as these tropical islands with unspoilt white beaches all year round sunshine are seen as one of the best locations in the world for property investment.


These once uninhabited islands were first discovered by the ancient Phoenicians, then later colonized and exploited by the Portuguese in the beginning of the 15th Century, in 1951 the islands became an overseas province of Portugal however in 1975 they gained their independence.


Since achieving independence in 1975 Cape Verde has had to struggle economically however the government is now focused on attracting tourists and investment to the islands however to safe guard against over development (such as in Spain) there are laws in place to prevent over investment and over development, this both ensures the islands retain their identity and security whilst giving any potential investor a potential safeguard against a potential boom and bust scenario.


Even in today’s world financial crisis purchasing a property in Cape Verde can be a very attractive investment particularly for European investment as the prices are currently quite low and economical growth can be seen to be coming. The reason stands in the fact that everything is being reinvented now – tourism, economics, trade airports, thus allowing all new investors to be the first ones to explore the islands economic growth potential.


Just a few reasons to invest in Cape Verde are -


·         A predicted property price increase of over 70% within 24 months



·         Closest Tropical Island to the UK



·         Low Living Costs



·         Tax Free (no VAT)



·         Stunning Location for water sports and others



·         Un spoilt location with massive tourism growth potential


Now lets quite be quite frank Cape Verde is stunningly beautiful, unspoilt and becoming increasingly popular and is constantly voted as one of the most desirable places in the world to have a property in and one of the governments main aim is to increase tourism to its shores, because of this good quality places to stay are always going to be in demand.


Quite simply any one who is able to own property in Cape Verde is firstly going to gain considerably from the anticipated property price increases forecast for this area, whilst predictions can vary some analysts have predicted as much as 70% over the next few years, somewhat bold in this current economic climate but remember there are laws in place in Cape Verde to stop overdevelopment and any potential price crash.


So quite obviously anyone with property in Cape Verde could firstly see his or her investment gain considerably and that’s before we even begin to look at the rental income potential which we can explore next.


Cape Verde is already one of the worlds “hot spots” or even the new “buzz word” as a holiday destination hence accommodation will always be in demand all year round due to the Cape Verde climate, so anyone who owns a property can have the opportunity to offer it through one of the holiday rental companies or hotel chains that need accommodation, this gives virtually guaranteed rental payments through the year if required.


Shrewd investors are already taking advantage of the situation in Cape Verde by firstly purchasing a property and starting to gain the increase in property prices, on top of this they can gain from the excellent rental holiday market remember this is holiday rental return not the normal buy to let return you receive from the UK rental market. They can also choose when not to rent the property so they to can benefit from a relaxing holiday in their investment property.


There are properties for sale on general release in Cape Verde however many investors prefer to purchase through one of the specialist resort companies who can offer all services and facilities in house, and it must be said that some of these apartments are quite breath taking both in their own right and location they are in.


However, things are not as simple as whilst everyone knows that Cape Verde has the potential to make a profitable investment in not everyone can be guaranteed to make a fortune out of it, that’s why you should always seek specialist help when looking to make such a potential life changing

Andorra A Step Ahead For Technology


Mountainous terrains might not be the first place you would look for good internet connections, but add to that requirement a country that has no income tax and you might think you are asking a little too much.


Happily there is such a place  Andorra.


Situated between France and Spain in the Pyrenees, its an independent country with a population of 80,000, plus those who have taken residency to live in the Principality.


Best known to the general public for her skiing, the country became well known for it in the 19802s and in recent years has improved her infrastructure to the extent that it now competes with French ski holidays on an even footing.


For those considering a tax haven such as traders who need high speed internet access and for those where time is critical, its a good working environment with or without tax, and Andorra steps up to the mark for them.


For such a small country in the middle of a mountain range Andorra impresses by being the 11th in the world for broadband speed  beating the United Kingdom for example, and according to Ookla who carried out the research Andorra has 14.79Mbps.


Canada Skiing


Good news indeed for those who need high speed communications in a tax friendly country  but what else can it offer apart from the financial advantages and good communications?


It has an infrastructure that matches any Western European country, with a good road network that has easy access to both France and Spain. Some residents drive to the Spanish coast for the weekend while some own property elsewhere and for example frequently enjoy Majorca villa holidays with a journey time of around five hours door to door.


For people considering taking Andorra residency, medical facilities are important, and more good news is that the hospital is modern and well equipped, with surgeons contracted from Barcelona to deal with non-emergency teatment as well as local doctors.


For tourists, theres a good choice of hotels, both in the capital la Vella and in the villages and towns. Some of the hotels are as good as youll find on Swiss ski holidays, and theres a wide range of culinary experiences available, including Michelin Star restaurants. Soldeu is one of the best known areas for ski holidays and first class quality hotels equivalent to anywhere else include the Sport Hermitage.


And its not just those who take Andorra residency who benefit from low or no taxes. For tourists Andorra is great for shopping with some of the lowest prices in Europe. To the extent that people make the trip from Barcelona to pick up the bargains. They visit the hypermarkets in Sant Julia just across from the Spanish border or make their way to the capital where there are department stores.


Andorra is great for business  and leisure too.
