Happily, our children may never know that the bald eagle, the proud symbol of the United States, was once nearly extinct.

As a business... more...

We realize that with a title like that, you're probably reading this article for salacious tidbits, perhaps about some celebrity or another behaving scandalously in public. In reality, it's not quite what you think. Exhibitionism is also the art and science of getting the most out of your display at an exhibition or convention and while conventions can involve celebrities, most of the scandal comes from how poorly most exhibitors misuse their resources in an exhibit hall. Firs... more...

Basically, both residents in the Netherlands and non-residents who obtain an income from the Netherlands... more...

The IRS recently threw down the gauntlet and placed pressure on private companies to get their valuations right at no matter what stage of development they are. The Service has backed up this gesture by exposing private companies to substantial tax liabilities and penalties if they do not. Since the enactment of Section 409(A), non-public companies have struggled with how they should establish that the exercise price of a stock option or a stock appreciation right (SAR) was determined re... more...

Most people will work hard for money if properly motivated. Though it may help, more money is not the key to making your employees more passionate. It is a myth to think that you do not need passion if only you have good staff and pay them well. It helps to have good people and to pay them well.

People simply wou... more...

If the companies have done rational thinking, simple homework and some reflection, they would have been spared massive headaches and av... more...
