<p>The Philips Livable Cities Award is an initiative designed to generate practical, achievable ideas for improving the health and well-being of people living in cities. Individuals, community or non-governmental organizations and businesses are eligible to participate in the Award program that comprises a total prize fund amounting to 125,000 Euros.<br />With the aim of developing simple solutions to the complex challenges faced by the residents of cities today, the program consists of three distinct award categories:</p>
<ul>
<li>Well-being Outdoors: initiatives that will help citizens feel safe in public spaces or help create city identity and foster a sense of belonging</li>
<li>Independent Living: initiatives that will help the growing number of elderly people living alone to feel secure and comfortable in a city, with appropriate access to healthcare</li>
<li>Healthy Lifestyle at Work and Home: initiatives that will support a healthy body and mind, whether through a person&rsquo;s surroundings or via other essentials such as exercise, sleep and diet.</li>
</ul>
<p>An overall award of 75,000 Euros will be granted for the best idea submitted in any of the three categories. There will also be two additional awards of 25,000 Euros each for the best submissions in the two categories not covered in the overall award. The award criteria will be developed by an international panel of experts chaired by Richard Florida, author of The Great Reset, Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute and Professor of Business and Creativity at Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is said that over two million people in England and Wales suffer each year from accidental injuries.&nbsp; Because of the abandonment of legal aid in 2000, the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nowinnofee.co.uk">no win no fee</a>&nbsp;agreement has helped many people who for whatever reason would have been unable to make a claim.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Over the life of your case, costs can arise and so a knowledgeable solicitor would advise you about the insurance that would cover things like this.&nbsp; This insurance is called after-the-event insurance and can certainly be handy to cover legal costs of an opponent.&nbsp; This is needed only if you loose your case. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Because there are so many people using this legal agreement, the law offers a chance for a fair end to the stress and pain associated with legal claims. This can be a stressful time for those suffering either a medical negligence or an accident of some kind.&nbsp; There is help for those needing it and this is the perfect way to get what you deserve without having to come up with a huge amount of money.&nbsp; The solicitor that you choose should explain all this to you and if the person you talk to has other fees that he will charge you, then find someone else.&nbsp;</p>

Most people who trade in  currencies will ask &#8221; where to trade? When to trade? And what to trade?&#8221;<br /> Most&nbsp; people know that forex is not located on a single exchange.&nbsp; It  actually functions within the electronic net as it connects many banks,  international corporation, various financial funds as well as brokerage  houses. All day long forex handles the world&#8217;s currencies exchanges and  at one time this market was only available to those who had hundreds of  thousands of dollars to play with.&nbsp; With the introduction of the  internet, individual investors with less money can now use a smaller  amount of capitol and trade right from their own computers. <br /> As each day begins in cities like Tokyo, Bombay, London and New York,  all traders rush for the profits that await them on the forex.&nbsp;</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bedfordshire is a county in the south eastern part of central England  and the smallest of the shires. There are no cities here but the towns  are quite interesting.&nbsp; There is Luton in the south, southwest is  Leighton Buzzard and Dunstable is south also. If you wanted to get to  the city of London, thirty miles away, then you would need to find a <a href="http://www.blisscarhire.co.uk/4136.html"><u>Bedforshire  car hire</u></a>.</p>
<p>With a rental car you could then see the popular attractions. The home  of the Duke of Bedford can be seen in Woburn Abbey as well as the  Whipsnade Zoo. Bedford is the historic town in Bedfordshire that is home  to the riverside setting on the River Ouse. <br /> Another place to visit would be the the village of Old Warden.&nbsp; This is a  sleepy village with a wealth of interesting building and straw colored  thatched cottages.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>British Gas is a great company that can help you save money. They have great energy saving ranges that you can buy for your home. You will be thankful you did when you watch your bills lower. They also offer repairs at your home monthly for a very low cost. They will give you a free plumbing survey to see if you have any problems. Most companies will not offer to help you out in the ways British Gas helps. </p>
<p> They are also a great company for businesses. British Gas will guarantee that they are 10% cheaper than anyone else on electricity as long as you show them a renewal letter from someone else. They will give you an energy saving report to help you figure out what to do to save even more money. This company offers many options to help you save.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest debt traps that millions of people fall into is have too much debt on their credit cards. Getting these cards is easier than ever, and many people will take out too many of them. It becomes of never ending game of adding on more and more debt just paying the debt that you already have.<br /> It is easy to take on too much debt this way because it does not feel like you are spending real money when you just slide your card. The worse thing about it is that children are getting hooked on using <a href="http://www.creditloan.com/credit-cards/">credit cards</a> at an early age. In fact, they are often the target of some credit card marketing.</p>
<p>If you can help it, you should try to get yourself out of credit card debt and try not to encourage the proliferation of the credit card industry. You should not teach your kids to get hooked on credit too soon. If they get used to using it at an early age, then they will likely continue to use this financing option when they grow up. This could subject them to the same debt problems that you may find yourself in now.<br /> Avoid using credit cards as much as possible, and work on paying off any debts that you have from these now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a very long day at work, I settled into my car for my twenty mile drive home. I was so wishing that I could just twitch my nose and pull into my drive. The afternoon traffic on the interstate was enough to make the most patient person in the world cuss like a sailor. As I pulled out into the southbound lane I flipped on my favorite radio station to drown out the world around me. They must have been having problems because the station just would not come in. Just as I figured, the one station that would come in was talking about one of those stupid radio <a href="http://www.promotions.co.uk">promotions</a> that nobody ever really wins.</p>
<p>I was always a skeptic and never once had I met anyone that really won anything from a radio station. Because of the fact that there was nothing else on I just left it on and kept listening to what the announcer was saying. The way to win was by answering a trivia question and the prize was an all expense paid vacation to Cancun. The first three people who called in gave the wrong answer. I knew the answer so I grabbed up my phone and thought, &#8220;Why not?&#8221; . To my surprise someone actually answered. I stuttered out the answer to the trivia question and the next thing I know here I am. I am sitting here on the beach in Cancun. How is that for skeptical?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-60" title="Foreclosure" src="http://www.businesshandler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Foreclosure-300x213.jpg" alt="Foreclosure" width="300" height="213" />If you&#8217;re facing foreclosure on your home, you might be surprised to know that the bank does not want to take your home. Lenders prefer that you repay the money you borrowed to purchase your home rather than to have to go through the lengthy process of foreclosure.</p>
<p>Most foreclosed properties are sold at an auction and in some instances, the lending institution don&#8217;t recover all of the money that is owed. This is another reason why they&#8217;d prefer that you are able to repay the mortgage. And, they will often work with you to help you keep your home.</p>
<p>A mortgage modification loan can help you keep your home. The lender will work with you to re-write your mortgage agreement and lower the payments to an amount that you can afford to pay. Of course you will need to prove that you can make the modified payments and that you actually want to repay the <a href="http://www.bankloans.net/">bank loan</a>.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to lose your home because you can&#8217;t make your current payments. Your lender will gladly discuss the options with you and try to come to an arrangement that you can meet. But, you need to apply for a loan modification before foreclosure proceedings have already began.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to opening a cash ISA there are an almost limitless amount of providers to choose from. Cash ISA&#8217;s are available at building societies, banks and the National Savings and Investments. But, you should always make sure that you&#8217;re getting the <a href="http://www.isarates.org.uk">best cash ISA</a> by comparing various institutions.</p>
<p>Although the rules and guidelines that each provider offers can vary greatly, each one will have the same basic requirements to open an account. You have to be a resident of the UK, or a Crown employee that is serving overseas, or the spouse of a Crown employee. And, you must be at least 16 years of age to open an ISA.</p>
<p>You will have to be able to provide some type of identification such as an drivers license or a passport. In some cases, if you don&#8217;t have a driving license or a passport, you may be able to provide a birth certificate as proof of your UK citizenship and identification.</p>
<p>Opening an ISA is as easy as opening a standard savings account. But, your cash ISA will be completely free of taxes. You will receive all of the interest that your ISA earns and never have to report the account on your income tax return.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-57" title="Business4" src="http://www.businesshandler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Business4-300x292.jpg" alt="Business4" width="300" height="292" />An ordinary checking account is fine for most people, but a business has very different needs than an individual. Whether you own a large business or a small business, the financial institution that you choose for your <a href="http://www.uknetguide.co.uk/Finance/Business_Banking_Search/">business banking</a> needs is crucial. Businesses need banking features that cater to their specific needs.</p>
<p>One of the best features that you should look for when choosing a business account is online banking. It&#8217;s much quicker than having to travel to a location, you can access your account 24 hours a day, transfer funds and check balances. And, you&#8217;ll be able to make payments either when you need to, or set up an automatic payment plan.</p>
<p>If you want to save as much money as you can overdraft protection is vital feature. It will keep you from having overdraft fees in the event that your account balance won&#8217;t cover a transaction. And, if you don&#8217;t have enough in your account to make a payment, you can still meet your obligations with overdraft protection.</p>
<p>Some banks and institutions that offer business banking will even offer you a business credit card. These types of credit cards usually come with some kind of reward program and allow you to purchase items that you need to make your business run more smoothly.</p>
