The National Institute for Statistics (ISTAT) identifies five official statistical regions in South Italy that is divided into administrative regions of Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Campania, Calabria, and Molise

Each and every part of the region presents unique dining options along with interesting wines. The food and wine experiences are heightened when the backdrops include ancient ruins, endless green pastures complete with meandering cows, or mountains that beg to be scaled by rock climbers. A wise visitor will bring walking/hiking boots, casual clothing that layers well, plus an empty stomach and a palate eager to experience new tantalizing recipes. Factor in weight gain as the price to pay for a culinary adventure.

Nearly one in five borrowers who default on their mortgages does so deliberately despite being able to keep up with their payments, according to a major credit reporting agency.

So-called “strategic defaulters” are homeowners who make a conscious decision to stop making their mortgage payments because they owe more than their home is worth – a situation commonly called being “underwater” on the mortgage. In nearly all cases, they continue to stay current on their other bills, according to the report. And nearly half of them took out a new mortgage shortly before defaulting.   In a new study, the credit reporting company Experian found that 17 percent of all mortgage defaults were by strategic defaulters in the second quarter of 2010, the most recent period for which data is available.

The most viable option to reducing financial problems incurred by the deceased is to sell inheritance for money.

The weekly top 5 tips post is always full of helpful hints and advice for small, home and micro business owners.

1. For full-scale exporting of a product, extensive market research is essential before even considering it. The financial impact of exporting abroad should never be underestimated as it will put a great strain on your resources and cashflow.

2. Think carefully about whether the features of your product would appeal to a specific country and also whether there is a gap in the market in that territory which you might be able to exploit. Rapidly growing countries such as China and India are ideal export targets.

3. It can be very helpful to have existing links with the country you plan on exporting to e.g. having friends or family in residence. However, you should not use this connection as the sole reason for exporting anywhere.

4. Exporting will force you to acquire a whole new set of skills.

If your small business sells knowledge or services, its tough to repossess what youve sold once its gone if the client decides not to pay the bill.

At least once a week, I hear from a small business owner who is fighting to get the money they deserve from some deadbeat client who has decided not to pay.

Thats why, no matter what, you always need some sort of written agreement with your clients. It doesnt have to be a full-blown contract, a letter of agreement will do. Just make sure that it spells out what you will provide, when and how your client will pay you.

Your best bet is to write up an agreement you can use as a template when selling your work. Make sure you have your attorney take a look at it. It will be money well spent.

Or you can check out some of the free forms and consulting agreements that are available at Rocket Lawyer where all legal documents are free to try. Look around, you may find exactly what you need.
