Jerry Nowell Takes His Mission To NBC 17's My Carolina Today

Jerry Nowell Takes His Mission To NBC 17's My Carolina Today

Jerry Nowell, a man who normally prefers to remain in the background running his award-winning store Nowell’s Contemporary Furniture in Cary, is going before the cameras next week to discuss his battle with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, and the fundraiser he’ll launch in November to benefit Multiple Myeloma Cancer Research at Duke Medicine.

Nowell will be a featured guest on NBC 17’s “My Carolina Today” show on Monday, November 1, at 11 a.m. Joining him will be Dr. Cristina Gasparetto, a specialist in laboratory and clinical research in the field of multiple myeloma at Duke Medicine.

Multiple myeloma is cancer of the plasma cells in bone marrow.

Nowell, 49, was diagnosed in May after a routine check up. Since then, he’s been sharing his progress on Facebook and planning “Nowell’s Fund To Fight Multiple Myeloma” in association with the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The furniture store has been sponsoring holiday-season charitable fundraisers for several years. Nowell’s decision to make cancer research at Duke the recipient of this year’s fundraiser was obviously personal.

“While there is currently no cure for multiple myeloma, on-going research raises great hope that emerging therapies may turn it into a manageable disease and, ultimately, lead to a cure,” he said.

Dr. Gasparetto will discuss some of those advances when the show airs.

Nowell’s Contemporary Furniture furnishes the set for “My Carolina Today” set. On the Monday segment, Jerry Nowell will also announce that the pieces on the set will be up for auction on the store’s website, www.nowellsfurniture.com, starting Monday with all proceeds from the auction benefiting Multple Myeloma Cancer Research at Duke Medicine.
   
Details on the in-store fundraiser will be released soon.

“My Carolina Today,” hosted by Sharon Delaney, Page Crawford and Valonda Calloway, airs each weekday on NBC 17 at 11 a.m. For more information, go to www.mycarolinatoday.com.

Debt Settlement Companies - Why Best Debt Settlement Firms Embrace New Regulation

Debt Settlement Companies - Why Best Debt Settlement Firms Embrace New Regulation

It is quite obvious that a lot of people in the United States have to pay more than ten thousand US dollars to the bank. Everyone is not in a strong financial position. In addition to that, unemployment is a one of the big issues being faced by the American people. Without a proper job, it is even hard to afford the basic necessities. The people who could not hire experienced debt settlement companies purchased services from new firms. Some of these new companies were scammers and a lot of people were robbed. A counterfeiting company attracts loan takers by offering liability reduction services at extremely cheap rates. Anyone would hire a firm for forty dollars if the original market rates are one hundred dollars.

These incidents have forced the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) to bring major changes in the liability relief mechanism. Now, all the debt settlement companies have to go under a filtration process. The following changes have been made by FTC (Federal Trade Commission). These changes have proven to be very helpful for credit card holders. In other words, now you can easily take assistance from the high performing debt settlement companies.

1. The best debt settlement companies are accepting the new rules to maintain a place in the market

Do you feel comfortable about a relief firm when it demands money in advance? The answer is no. However, a lot of people had to accept this demand when the services were being offered at extremely affordable rates. Most of these companies have vanished with the money. Now, you don't have to take this risk because the option to demand upfront money does not exist anymore. You have to consider the following points before making any payments.

· You do not have to pay even a single dollar until the company has completed the working process

· The progress of the firm is satisfactory

· The consultants are giving free counseling sessions to educate you about the services of the company and your financial situation.

2. Debt settlement companies have to invest their own finances initially

As I mentioned before, a customer does not have to pay anything until the liability reduction process is initiated. Thus, if a firm does not have a strong monetary structure, it cannot survive. The client will only be required to pay when the negotiation sessions are completed. Due to this point, most new companies are closing down their business and the overall standard of liability reduction services is improving. If your unpaid debt is more than ten thousand dollars, there is no point in waiting. Go online and look for an authentic relief network near you.

Getting out of debt through a debt settlement process is currently very popular but you need to know where to locate the best performing programs in order to get the best deals. To compare debt settlement companies it would be wise to visit a free debt relief network which will locate the best performing companies in your area for free.

Recently released market study: Hong Kong Tourism Report Q4 2010

Recently released market study: Hong Kong Tourism Report Q4 2010

 Hong Kong arrivals data for 2010 has remained robust until July (the most recent data available), with a total of 19,992,810 visitors over the first seven months of the year, an increase of 24.4% year on year (yo- y). July 2010 arrivals (of 3,136,794) were the highest-ever recorded for a single month in Hong Kong. Looking at individual markets, arrivals from China were up by 28.9% over the Jan-Jul period, at 12,499,036, with arrivals from North Asia up by 24.1%, at 1,241,736. Arrivals from South and South East Asia were also strong, up 27.4% y-o-y, at 1,948,855.

BMI already made upwards revisions to our forecasts for 2010 tourist arrivals and tourist expenditure in Q310, so we see no need to make any further changes to our forecasts in Q410. That said, we would caution that there could be an additional upside risk to our 2010 forecasts, given the continued robust nature of arrivals data.

Sino-Japanese tensions to impact on tourism?

Rising tensions between China and Japan - following a collision between a Chinese fishing boat and two Japanese coastguard vessels off the disputed Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands - could have a disruptive impact on tourist flows over the remainder of 2010. In the wake of Japan's decision to detain the trawler captain following the collision in early September 2010, China postponed the planned visit of some 1,000 Japanese schoolchildren to the World Expo in Shanghai. There have also been reports of Chinese citizens and businessmen cancelling planned trips to Japan in the wake of the incident.

Further, China's National Tourism Administration said later in the month that Chinese tourists were showing less willingness to visit Japan, as a result of the trawler captain's continued detention, according to a report on Xinhua. Bilateral tourism flows between China and Japan have been increasing sharply in recent years, with some 1.19mn Chinese tourists having visited Japan over the Jan-Jul 2010 period, up 38% y-o-y. For its part, Japan sent some 746,313 tourists to China, an increase of 16.2% y-o-y.

With the trawler captain due to be released from detention by the Japanese on September 29, having been arrested on charges of illegally fishing in Japanese waters and deliberately causing a collision, it is to be hoped that both sides can move on swiftly from this incident before lasting damage is done to social and cultural ties.

With this, the government of Singapore will be able to maintain its exemplary pro-business reputation worldwide, thus attracting more investors, more significantly foreign investors.

“Note that new companies setup in Singapore are privileged to receive a zero corporate tax. New start-up companies pay Zero tax on the first S$100,000 of chargeable income for the first three consecutive years. A further 50% exemption is given on the next S$200,000 of the chargeable income. All of these benefits are taken into consideration by foreign investors,” Rikvin said.

The company enumerated three steps in Singapore company incorporation that can be easily applied by foreigners.
