In his recent address to an audience of entrepreneurs, junior college students ( high school students ) and staff, Singapore's Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam mentioned that most Singaporeans are satisfied with being competent at what they do, with few actually striving to be exceptional.

As the education standards in Singapore and the rest of the world rise, students are finding it increasingly difficult to stay competent, let alone be exceptional. In order to stay academically afloat', many students are sent for tuition classes at a tender age. Making tuition classes available and accessible for their children seem to be a norm for many concerned parents in Singapore. Mathematics tuition and science tuition such as physics tuition are especially common in Singapore. Even in Japan and the United Kingdom, there is widespread public support for high school tuition.

The education system in Singapore encourages high students to take up a wide spectrum of subjects with sufficient depth. While the curriculum adequately prepares them for the future, many students hardly cease to consider the prospect of tuition classes. High school students in Singapore often seek H2 Physics tuition or H2 Mathematics tuition classes, which provide them with additional practice or with different prospectives of a certain concept, with the hope of gaining a competitive edge over their peers. Academically-inclined students may find tuition classes a breeze, while others may detest the monotonous repetition of concepts in a H2 Physics tuition or H2 Mathematics tuition class. This may impose high levels of psychological stress among these students, resulting in unforeseen health problems.

Some other students in Singapore do not have a say in their academics. Their parents call the shots by sending them for tuition classes, with the afraid to lose out' mentality deeply entrenched in their minds. As a result, students report to lessons and feel as if they are indoctrinated instead of being educated or enlightened. Thus it is important that the student understands clearly his need for extra lesson.

In any case, high school tuition classes ought to be enjoyable. Injecting some fun in tuition classes not only makes it less dreadful, it better aids in the students' cognitive and intellectual development, such that they can maximise their fullest potential. Besides being a mentor in their studies, the roles of a top tutor include motivating and paying close attention to them. Thus a close tutor and students relationship and low tutor to student ratio are essential.

Therefore, it is of utmost importance that junior college tuition provides an avenue for development, not only in the educational aspect, but also in the general wellbeing of each student. Striving to meet expectations is essential, but definitely not at the expense of students' health.

A car nowadays is no more a luxury, but it is necessity. It is a dream of every common man to drive his own car. Sometimes that is not possible as you do not have the required funds with you in your bank account. The dealers and the other lenders in the market are offering loans to the people for buying a car. Sometimes it becomes tough for a person to apply for an auto loan as he might have a bad credit rating in the market. Most of the local lenders are not willing to work with the people whose credit rating is not satisfactory.

Auto Loans Bad Credit is now being offered to the people with a bad credit rating in UK. Now anybody can buy a car or a truck for his or her personal use or for commercial use even if they have a poor credit history. The dealers are collaborating with the lenders and allowing credit to the citizens of UK. The only difference with the auto loans bad credit is that the borrowers will have to pay a higher down payment and a high interest rate. Loans are provided for both new and used vehicles. Some of the lenders are allowing secured auto loans and the interest rates for these auto loans bad credits are low as the borrower is pledging the vehicle as the security for the funds advanced to him.

The financial condition of every individual is different than the others. Hence the loan plans are also designed according to the affordability of the borrower. There are professional loan experts who calculate your monthly income and expenditure and find out the net monthly disposable income for you. The lenders follow a transparent policy. No cost is hidden. They try to explain everything in their offer document. Your Annual Percentage Rate and the total cost of borrowings are explained to you at the very beginning stage of your application.

Buying a laptop needn't be expensive. You can afford a stylish laptop for just a monthly payment, and the best bit is its 0% finance!

It seems that our lives revolve around computers. We use them for working on, we use them for socialising and we even use them for shopping. It seems that everything is done electronically and we find that a family computer is often fought over. This is why laptops are commonly found in family homes. If you have children, especially teenagers, then a laptop is often a wise investment to keep the peace! One new invention in the laptop world is the Netbook. Now you can buy laptops on 0% finance. So what's stopping you?

These laptops are smaller than an average laptop (they usually have screens sized from nine to twelve inches) which makes them easier to store, easier to carry and great for anyone who is using it to do their homework or surf the net. Almost all brands are selling these net books although one of the best has to be a Dell Inspiron Netbook. They come in all different colours and are perfect for making laptops a bit cooler for the kids. These Netbooks come with a range of accessories such as carry bags and peripherals.

Of course sometimes treating your kids (or even yourself) can set you back. Although the net books may not cost a fortune some people don't want to risk paying out all that money in one lump sum and would rather pay on finance. There are many different payment options that companies offer but the main aim is to pay in smaller chunks so that you don't feel the pinch straight away. Many people like to go for two or three instalments but others like to pay every month and make the repayments smaller.

There are one or two things that you should think about when paying with finance. The first thing to think about is how much you can afford each month. If it is only a few pounds then try to stretch the payments over many months. If you can afford a larger amount each month then try only two or three payments. You should pick a finance option that can give you 0% interest.

By not paying interest you will save yourself lots of money and your monthly payments will be lower. Finally take a look at what sort of deposit they are asking for. Most companies will ask for no deposit which all helps when that first instalment comes out. Being able to afford a new laptop is not that difficult when you take finance into consideration.

It is leading the sector of real estate towards success, stability and establishment. Normally, Toronto is on the hit list when it comes to large scale investments in the real estate market.

One more significant factor behind this foreign investment trend could be the social tolerance existent in Canada.

There are a series of questions that need to be asked when contemplating a home improvement loan. A well informed applicant can be assured that the outcome of his/her diligence will be appreciated by all concerned. The first question one must ask is 'what can I afford'? An accurate accounting of finances is a basic requirement. 'What is my income'? 'What are my expenses'? 'Do I have a good history of paying my debts'? These type of questions are necessary, not only for my own well-being but for the protection of the lender and the person performing the work. Each person is relying on the integrity of the other.

Home improvement loans are a vital tool in today's economy. The main reason for obtaining them is to ultimately increase the value of your home, as opposed to purchasing a new structure. The biggest benefit to improving an existing property is the fact that less money needs to be invested. A loan can be used for something as modest as putting in an extra bathroom or as extensive as adding several hundred square feet for a growing family. Borrowing for the project is the best way to get the extra room you need when you need it. Sometimes its just not feasible to save for a long period of time. For example, planning a nursery for a new arrival may not have the same priority if the child is going to grow out of it before you can complete the project.

A good piece of advice for someone that is ready to borrow for their improvements is, talk to someone who has done it. But remember to keep an open mind. People have varying experiences; some good, some not so good. Personality is a big factor. One homeowner may be very detail oriented and therefore see a minor flaw as a catastrophe while someone else may not even notice major defects in a project. In each instance you will receive opposing feedback. You must decide, in the end, what your own expectations will be. One of the best resources you can get is your building inspector. He is trained to look for anything in a project that does not meet local building codes. But because of his experience he can tell if a tradesman is good at what he does.

Finally, but most importantly, research your lender options. Who has the best interest rates? Do they have a good reputation in their community? Be aware that the lender you choose will be working with you to see that the job is done in accordance with their requirements. Remember, this is their money and they want to protect their investment. A good lender will spend time with you and your contractor to make sure you get the finished product you deserve. People that do the work for you will more than likely know your lender and as they work together on your project you should have a gratifying experience. When your home improvement is finished you will be a qualified reference for others.

To keep up with the current market scenario, the finance companies are adopting many innovative approaches to optimize profit in the Commercial Vehicle Loans segment. Usage of cutting edge technology and streamlining of processes have helped them in operational cost savings. Also alternative sales and distribution arms like DST and DSA have given the benefit of larger distribution spread at a minimal cost. Faster response to clients' requirements, tailor made products to suit consumer needs have further helped in achieving the targets these companies have set.

Buoyancy in the infrastructure segment and positive trends in the industrial products are the critical factors triggering the growth in Commercial Vehicles segment. Also the measure taken by the government to up bring the agricultural sector will add to growth of Commercial Vehicles industry.

Despite having better rail and water ways India is still heavily dependant on surface mode for movement of goods. With various projects like NHRI, golden quadrangle, transporters will be blessed with better productivity.
The impetus on port activity too will positively impact this industry. Another critical factor will be the replacement demand forced by the implementation of stricter emission norms.

In the last 3-4 years we have witnessed application based assets getting introduced in the market and both domestic and international manufacturers showing higher amount of interest in offering sophisticated and technologically advanced products.

In spite of the current slow down due to various factors, Commercial Vehicles industry has witnessed growth in segments like Tippers, Buses, tractors trailer segments and sub 1 ton category of vehicles. With the implementation of emission norms in to A and B cities and metro cities forcing for stage IV norms the industry is going to witness a huge replacement demand.

We are yet to be blessed with better infrastructure within cities and between major cities and towns; this is again limiting introduction of higher capacity products and viability of existing operations. The transformations of one being looked at as a mere transporter to logistic solution provider has just begun in India where as many of the developed countries have achieved this long ago.

With all these developments taking place, the commercial vehicles financing companies are geared up for the unprecedented growth in the segment.

Money worries can affect everyone at some stage. The Citizen's Advice Bureau has reported dealing with over 9000 new debt-related problems every day in England and Wales alone*. This striking statistic means that although many people are anxious about debt, they are also eager to stop the decline into even more debt.

One solution which people can consider is switching their finances to a prepaid credit card. Prepaid credit cards could help people from sliding further into debt by reducing banking costs, enabling better budgeting and also reinvigorating poor credit ratings.
Many consumers might be wary of switching to a prepaid card for fear they may be declined or it will be recorded on their credit history.

However, for prepaid credit cards like the Cashplus prepaid Gold MasterCard, acceptance is guaranteed and there are no credit checks preformed upon application. This makes prepaid credit cards a viable option to those who are worried about or have had a poor credit history in the past.

In fact, the Cashplus prepaid card can actually help people rebuild their credit rating through their add-on product, Creditbuilder. This product lasts for 12 months and is a small loan of one year's monthly fees for owning the card. As the customer successfully repays their small monthly fee, Cashplus reports this activity to credit reference agencies. As long as the customer meets their monthly commitments and any other outstanding credit obligations, they should see their credit rating improve.

The Cashplus prepaid card can also be used as an alternative to a bank account. Therefore if someone has had trouble getting a bank account in the past or is new to the UK, a Cashplus prepaid credit card could be the answer. The Cashplus card account could present savings when compared to high street bank accounts by not charging fees associated with overdrafts, late payments or deposits. For those who are new to the UK or have had credit problems in the past, the Creditbuilder feature of a Cashplus card could help them on the road to easier and cheaper credit in the future.

As prepaid cards have to be topped up with money before it can be spent, those who are worried about overspending can easily keep track of their regular outgoings. Furthermore, topping up a prepaid credit card can be quick and convenient. The Cashplus prepaid card can be topped up via bank transfer, at over 1000 retail stores, epay outlets or at any UK Post Office location nationwide.

Therefore, switching to a prepaid credit card such as the Cashplus card could help reduce debt worry by helping people control their spending, reducing banking costs and even rebuilding their credit rating. This could in turn help people from getting further into debt.

Consult your attorney and trustee before buying a car in bankruptcy.

If the attorney and trustee agree that there is a necessity for a car loan, the trustee can draw up a letter of permission giving you the go ahead for buying a car in bankruptcy. The trustee will file this letter in your court file. This will assure that you are staying within the perimeter of the bankruptcy laws.

It is a good idea to follow the advice of your bankruptcy team, listen to what they suggest to you. Provide your proof of income to the attorney and the trustee so they can help you figure a monthly payment that you can realistically make on time.

Special finance dealerships have relationships with several lenders that provide auto loans and work with you to find the best possible solution to your specific needs. Because of your credit history, you will more likely have to pay higher interest rates. Don't let this stop you from getting a car. After making the payments on time you can usually refinance your loan later on for a better interest rate.

Finding a quality special finance car dealership will assure you peace of mind that you will get the best deal possible. This loan will help you get around with a nice set of wheels and provide you a great chance to reestablish your credit history.

Filing bankruptcy is never an easy situation but by being upfront and honest with your bankruptcy team, buying a car in bankruptcy is possible today.

Watching people's action can bring you a lot closer to the truth than merely listening to what they say (which might be a cover-up). This is the "science" of kinesics, or "body language".

Reading body language is very exciting indeed! If you know how to read and interpret body language, you can predict other people's mood and thinking process.

Some of us can read it naturally and some of us are notoriously oblivious. Fortunately, with a little extra attentiveness, you can learn to read body language, and with enough practice it'll become second nature. It can be very revealing....

Some outward expressions of inner feelings:

Openness: Open hands, unbuttoned coat.

Defensiveness: Arms crossed, sideways glance, touching-rubbing nose, rubbing eyes. Buttoned coat, drawing away.

Insecurity: Pinching flesh, chewing pen, thumb over thumb, biting fingernails.

Cooperation: Upper body in sprinters position. Open hands, sitting on edge of chair, hand to face gestures, unbuttoning coat.

Confidence: Steepled hands, hands behind back, back stiffened, hand in coat pockets with thumbs out. Hands on lapels of coat.

Nervousness: Clearing throat, "whew" sound, whistling, smoking, pinching flesh, fidgeting, covering mouth, jiggling money or keys, tugging ears, wringing hands.

Frustration: Short breaths, "tsk" sound, tightly clenched hands, wringing hands, fist-like gestures, pointing index finger, rubbing hand through hair rubbing back of neck.

Noticing the signals that people send out with their body language is a very useful social skill...Don't isolate yourself by constantly examining body language when interacting with people. Otherwise, there is no reason to gain a social upper hand anyway. This is paralysis by analysis.

Having bad credit can limit a person's options when it comes to seeking financial assistance from banks and lenders. Many banks and commercial lending companies have very strict credit requirements and borrowers with unimpressive credit scores can easily be dismissed.

The good news is that there are lenders who are more forgiving and are willing to provide personal loans for borrowers with credit. While some lenders may judge credit worthiness based on a high credit score, bad credit personal loan lenders especially cater to the bad credit market. Thus, even though people with low credit score may have limited options, they can still have the opportunity to acquire personal loans and use them for various purposes.

Secured and Unsecured Bad Credit Personal Loans Personal loans for bad credit are categorized as either secured or unsecured. Just like regular loans, the difference between these two types of bad credit loans is the requirement. As the name implies, secured bad credit loans are guarantee by collateral. The collateral can be any valuable asset or property owned by the borrower. In the event that the borrower fails to continue with the repayment of the loan, the lender can use the collateral submitted as repayment for the debt. On the other hand, unsecured bad credit loans are guaranteed by any form of security. Truly, unsecured bad credit loan lenders take a greater risk in providing this type of financing to borrowers with questionable credit history. To make up for the risk, these lenders may impose higher rate of interest to ensure that their business will profit.

Should you take out a bad credit personal loan? If you need financial assistance but with bad credit you may consider applying for a bad credit personal loan. However, you need to be more cautious in evaluating your choices. Keep in mind that not all offers in the market are fair and legitimate.

Some lenders might take advantage of borrowers with bad credit by imposing excessive rates and hidden fees. Then there are also illegal lending companies who try to make money from unsuspecting consumers. These lenders do not comply with lending laws that govern your State and they do not have a license to operate.

Prepare to Apply for a Bad Credit Loan Even though you are applying for a bad credit personal loan, it is still recommended that you check your credit report before submitting your application. Why? Although lenders will not base their approval on your credit history, they will be calculating the interest rate based on how low your score is. Obviously, the lower your credit score is, the higher the interest rate of your loan is most likely to be.

Any improvement you can make on your personal credit score can make a big difference in the interest rate you will get. By checking your credit report in advance, you can have the chance to correct errors (if applicable) which could be pulling down your score. Checking your report will also enable you to evaluate your accounts so you can create an effective repayment plan.

Financial fraud is a major problem in the West as credit cards, ATM machines and sophisticated websites can all be hacked so that out financial details are stolen. The rise of the chip and pin machine was an attempt by the government and the banking sector to reduce the ease at which fraudsters could copy their victim's information at the retail EPoS station, however, there is still massive levels of economic fraud in the UK.

Retailers have a responsibility to give their customers as much protection against the theft of their details, and the best way they can do this is through using digital retail EPoS machines and setting out their payment area to minimise the possibility for details to be copied.

Retail EPoS
Cash register tills are becoming more sophisticated as technology means that we can pay for almost anything with a debit or credit card. Even popping out to the local shop for a pint of milk no longer requires cash. In some ways, the decrease in the amount of cash that most people carry is a good thing. Cash is much easier to steal and use without detection than a credit card, and most cards are covered with insurance and protection so that they can be stopped quickly and the money repaid to you. However, if you have your card detail stolen, it can take a long time to realise, especially if you do not regularly check your bank account.

This means that fraudsters could empty your bank account of all of its funds without you knowing and it is a hassle having to close your accounts and set up new ones because a thief has your details. Where you might have had a wallet full of cash stolen before, know you can have your entire bank account emptied by one criminal. Retail EPoS machines are now able to detect when a card is being used in a fraudulent manner. The pin number can only be entered incorrectly twice or three times on most card readers before the consumer is no longer allowed to use the card. Unless the card reader is broken you are not permitted to pay by signing a receipt. This cuts down the possibility for someone to use your card without all of the details.

Shop Design
The layout of your pay station can also help to minimise fraud. Your retail EPoS system should be placed in a position that only the customer who is paying for an item can see the till and especially the card reader. Even having a physical line at a point behind the till will deter people from standing too close to the customer who is paying. The staff at the till should be aware of who they are serving and the card being used. Is it in a man's name when the customer is a woman? Have they go the pin number wrong? Have they asked if they can sign because they have forgotten their pin number? These are all signs to look out for and staff should be trained on how to spot fraud.

Fraud is a major problem for consumers, banks and retailers alike. By implementing a high-tech retail EPoS system in your shop, you can minimise the risk of fraud to your customers, and a little clever shop design never hurt either.

Buying a new car can be a major challenge when the applicant has a low credit rating. Usually, a low rating is a consequence of some poor financial habits of the past, though increasingly honest people have been caught out. But even so, a ,000 car loan with bad credit is possible to get your hands on.

This is because, while low credit scores are troublesome in their own right, once the necessary boxes are ticket there is little chance of the application being rejected. In fact, getting loan approval is practically guaranteed if there is ample income and every step is taken to convince the lender the repayments will be made like clockwork.

Of course, a ,000 car loan is no small matter, and the need to repay the loan is likely to take at least 3 years. That is a lengthy commitment, and as such both sides of the deal need to make some careful calculations before anything should be agreed.

Providing Security

First and foremost, the ability to provide security as part of the deal can come as a major plus, in the eyes of the lender. This is because a ,000 car loan with bad credit carries with it some serious risks. So, the lender wants to be sure they will get their money back should the borrower default.

There are two kinds of security that can be offered to ensure getting loan approval. The first is old-fashioned collateral, which involves family heirlooms, equity and other property being offered in compensation in the event that the borrower can no longer make the repayments. This seems strange given that usually the car is considered the collateral.

The second is the inclusion of a cosigner in the application. This is more desirable in the eyes of the lender because a cosigner guarantees that the monthly repayments are made on time. With a ,000 car loan, the lender always wants the cash, not the collateral.

Terms and Conditions to Consider

Of course, there are some strict criteria applied to large loans that are provided to those with less than perfect credit histories. So, an application for a ,000 car loan with bad credit cannot simply be provided to anyone - they must pass the qualifying standards.

These standards relate to two key areas: firstly, the income of the applicant; and secondly, the interest rate that is charged by the lender. Only by satisfying both of these can the applicant hold out any hope of getting loan approval. For example, the income has to be large enough to cover the expected repayments and handle the usual monthly financial obligations.

The interest rate is influenced very heavily by the credit score that the applicant has. The lower the score, the higher the interest rate charged because the greater the perceived level of risk. And with high interest rates, the higher the monthly repayments - and it this that causes the problems. With a ,000 car loan, repayments can be as high as 0 per month.

Finding a Lender

The best place to go to is online, where there is a wide range of lenders specializing in loans to people with low credit scores. So, when seeking ,000 car loans with bad credit, the lowest interest rates and best terms are generally available there.

However, it is important to check out any lenders that may attract attention. This is because of the risk of scams, so visiting the BBB website is a very good idea. After all, getting loan approval is nothing to celebrate if it leads to a disaster. The risk is not just for the lender, when a ,000 car loan is sought over the Internet the borrower could lose out too.

Have you ever wondered how you can buy a home without having to go to the bank for a mortgage? One way to do this is through owner financed homes. An Austin owner finance is one way for those who can afford to make mortgage payments on their home to buy one. Those who are looking for a way to buy a house can get financed by the owner of the house if they go to a real estate company that is willing to work with them. There is a real estate company in Austin that is really very innovative when it comes to helping people sell and buy homes. They will help you, as the buyer, get the home from the seller who is willing to finance. Sellers who are looking to sell their homes and relieve themselves of responsibility can do so and take increments of money instead of a lump sum when they elect to finance. On top of that, they can get more for their investment, which is the house, than they will get, interest wise, in any bank. It makes sense for sellers who can afford to do so to finance their homes and buyers who cannot get a loan from a bank to do it this way as well. This cuts out the middleman and gets right to the heart of the matter which is the transfer of ownership of a piece of property.

When you own property, you can sell it outright or rent it. Renting it still means that you have the legal obligation to keep it up and maintain it according to codes. Tenants can come and go as they please, they might even leave holes in the walls when they go. It is your place, you have to then fix it up at your expense and try to find a better tenant. This is a hassle that most people do not enjoy which is why so few tend to want to rent out their house.

However, when a seller agrees to finance, they release themselves from the obligation of ownership. The refrigerator is broken? Too bad, the new owner has to buy a new one. There are mice in the house? Oh well, the new owner has to call an exterminator. The new owner owns the house in an owner financed situation just as they would if the bank financed them. The same as they would if they bought the house for cash. The only thing that the seller holds is the note. The seller is not obligated to the home but merely collects on the mortgage due. If the buyer refuses to pay the mortgage, the seller can then go in and foreclose and get the property back. This is the only way a seller can regain the premises in this type of situation.

This option makes sense for buyers who want to purchase a home but are unable to get financing through a bank as well as sellers who may be thinking of renting out their homes and anyone who wants to sell and rid themselves of the financial obligation. Those who own houses outright should consider this over a traditional sale because the interest that they receive, which is the return on investment, is far better than the bank or even the stock market has to offer.
