Reserve Bank Gives Forecast On Australian Economy

Posted on 2017-08-20 by Todd Marchel

With the Australian economy’s current state, people are now paying more attention to how they spend their money, especially in the funeral industry, where prices vary so wildly that funeral services in Sydney rate higher than most places in the country.

The Reserve Bank of Australia recently gave its forecast on the economy, taking its predictions for growth down a peg or two, but compensated, saying that, if inflation continues to fall in the next few years, the economy will bounce back.

Released via the RBA’s quarterly statement on monetary policy, the RBA predicts growth of 2-3%, lower than the last forecast of 2.5-3.5% last May. The RBA says that this growth rate is likely to stick for the next couple of years, which they say is higher than what was estimated in the past.

However, the central bank has also noted that inflation is likely to return to 2.5-3.5% by June 2018.

The RBA says that a number of factors contributed to a more positive forecast, including a higher iron price, increased business investment, and an unemployment rate clocking in below 5.5%.

Back in its August meeting, the Reserve Bank froze the cash rate, having deemed the low of 1.5% to be good for Australia’s continued economic growth.

The RBA has stated that it believes that the pickup in inflation for the Australian dollar will be increased by the drop in the labour market, which is expected to lead to increasing wage growth from the current low levels. The recent decision by the Fair Work Commission to increase award and minimum wages could also possibly help wage growth in the September quarter.

Philip Lowe, the RBA’s governor, has asked workers to demand higher wages as Australia faces a bit of a wage growth crisis.

The RBA’s prediction, according to it, is based on the inflation of the Australian dollar and state that higher inflation would lead to lower numbers than what they predicted.

Currently, the Australian dollar sits at a value of 80 US Cents currently, which is a level the currency has not seen since 2014.

The RBA has stated that, in contrast to funeral services in Sydney, Eastern Australia real estate conditions, especially in Sydney, have eased up recently.

Legal Shield Protecting The Public CPAs Of Australia No Longer In Place

Posted on 2017-07-30 by Todd Marchel

The legal conflict wherein the CPA Australia is involved resulted to the unfortunate loss of the protection provided for the members that are public practitioners. These means that for a period of at least six months starting this October, they will no longer have immunity from malpractice lawsuits that ranges up to multimillions of dollars.The legal shield provided by CPA Australia used to act as the accountant professional liability insurance of the public practicing accountants in the country.

According to the Professional Standards Council which is the regulator agency from the government, it has been confirmed that the professional standards program that has been protecting the body by limiting the liability received by the members of the public practice is not up for renewal despite the fact that it is expiring this 7th of October.

This will affect all public practice members that are located in a number of regions including Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. This will result to member paying a higher amount for their professional indemnity insurance and they have a chance of being subjected to unlimited liability due to negligence.

It was last month that the legal conflict was revealed to the public but the CPA has been reassuring that the process is still ongoing with PSC and that they are trying to reach a resolution.

CPA remains firm with this despite the confirmation announced by PSC at the end of last month. According to the announcement, CPAs that are practicing under Victorian public will no longer have a legal shield starting October. CPA continues to affirm their members that their applications are still in active status and that they continue to settle with the PSC regarding the active application.

The PSC clarified that the new program was not created before the expiration of the Professional Standards Scheme expires thus they are not sure when the replacement program will be implemented. They have given a time estimated of a minimum of six months before the new program is given an approval. For the meantime, public practicing members would have to be careful as they will be practicing with no accountant professional liability insurance for the time being until such time that a new scheme is put in place.

Posted on 2017-07-17 by Todd Marchel

We all know how expensive weddings can be. Not everyone has the luxury to spend on their dream wedding. There are many expenses to consider such as the wedding reception and contractors such as party hire in Melbourne. This is why merchants from West Texas decided to do their part by helping a groom who is serving in the Air Force.

Dynamics CRM Gains Real-Time Communication Software

Posted on 2017-07-13 by Todd Marchel

The Salesforce Service Cloud, a CRM Consultant company, has had its SOS providing omnichannel support for their partners. For Microsoft Dynamics CRM’s agents, Live Assist has recently been made available, which will allow CRM agents to communicate with customers at real-time.

Live Assist for Dynamics CRM, is a CRM tool for Dynamics 365 agents, which allows them to communicate to customers in real-time via mobile and the internet, with options for chat, co-browsing, voice calls and video chats, which will allow these agents to tend to customers’ needs without having to move away from their service desk console. The software was announced sometime in October of 2016, and is the product of a tech partnership between Microsoft and CafeX Communications, which gives it CafeX Live Assist integration.

The software was only recently released and made publically available last March, and is available for a free 30-day trial across the globe. The software was initially released across North America and Europe, with Asia and other regions only having it available near the end of the same month.

Sajeel Hussain, CafeX’s CMO, has stated, that real-time communication is a major part of any company looking for customer engagement solutions, which has become table stakes for some companies, and a key aspect in any CRM operations: no CRM Consultant denies the usefulness of being able to communicate with customers real-time.

The technology used for Live Assist is, in fact, not a recent development, but, has been well-tested and positively received by the public in the past. Last 2014, it had already earned CafeX the year’s Best Enterprise Connect Award.

Microsoft worked alongside CafeX to ensure that the Dynamics CRM and Live Assist have tight integration, ensuring that both platforms remain in sync. Hussain gave an example in one of his statements, saying that, if an agent is added or deleted in Dynamics, the changes made there will automatically be registered in Live Assist. Both Live Assist and Dynamics CRM are located in the Azure Cloud, and instances of Live Assist can be distributed by IT departments to their agents on the fly with the use of Office 365.

Thailand’s Airport Expansion To Keep Pace With Tourism Growth

Posted on 2017-07-10 by Todd Marchel

Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Southeast Asia because of the ideal combination of modern lifestyle and fascinating history. Thailand has more than its share of beautiful sceneries, temples, beautiful palaces, beach resorts and idyllic villages where travellers can experience holistic living for relaxation and rejuvenation. Accommodations range from suites to budget rooms with comfortable furnishings.

However, even with the popularity of Thailand as a tourism nation, the growing number of tourist arrivals at the airport poses a serious problem for the state-run Airports of Thailand. The airports have to expand their capacity otherwise; they cannot keep pace with tourism growth. This year, the Airports of Thailand’s shares have climbed by 18% to exceed the benchmark SET index’ 3% advance.

The Airports of Thailand stands to benefit from the growth in tourism but it will take some time for the company to tap into the opportunities until an expanded infrastructure is in place. According to AmnartNgosawang, an analyst at KTB Securities in Bangkok, the current price of the shares of the state-run airports offers a very limited upside for investors. The fundamentals are quite strong but valuation is now expensive.

The goal of Suvarnabhumi Airport is to double its present capacity to 90 million passengers within 5 years. Singapore’s Changi Airport has a capacity of 60 million annually while the Capital International Airport of Beijing can handle 90 million passengers per year. If an extra concourse or satellite terminal at Suvarnabhumi is built, it can increase the airport’s capacity to 60 million and catch up with present demand.

If the airport’s capacity is doubled, it can handle more passengers than it was designed for particularly foreign tourists that are responsible for the bulk of the airport’s income. Expanding the airport is very important to Thailand because tourism accounts for 18% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).

Meanwhile, you can still enjoy the beauty of Thailand and relax in a luxurious and comfortable room at suite accommodation in Pattaya. Your accommodation allows you easy access to downtown shopping, nightlife and entertainment. The beach is also close by so that you can enjoy unlimited sand and sun.

StarTrack is an auxiliary of Australia Post and this is the very first time Canstar Blue has left its business to conduct a study on small business courier services.

Australia Post may have been number one in 2015, but StarTrack headed to the top beyond its parent company with a five-star overall satisfaction.

Fastway Couriers, DHL and Australia Post are next in line for courier services in Melbourne, with the businesses receiving four-stars overall satisfaction. Toll follows with three-stars.

Posted on 2017-06-27 by Todd Marchel

If you think inviting international tourists to visit your country is as simple as inviting your friends to attend your birthday party or your wedding, you are dead wrong. Here’s the thing, tourism is a big industry to begin with and it doesn’t make sure that tourists will get their message loud and clear. Tourism service providers are working round the clock to find unique ways not only to make sure that tourists will come over to the country but also, they will return on many occasions and that’s a proof that they love visiting the country. They enjoy the food. They enjoy the nightlife at the bars. They even manage to get a good discount hotel in Bangkok if they are visiting Thailand’s capital city. Tourism is a very busy industry and working in the tourism industry is considerably stressful to majority of the service providers working in the industry itself.

In a recent interview with Bangkok Post, famous celebrity Britney Spears commented that she hasn’t been to Thailand or any Asian country for that matter in very long time and she said during the interview that she would be happy to visit Thailand not just do a major concert but also top enjoy the beautiful tourist destinations of the country. Britney Spears also added that she would be more willing to do a collaboration with fellow artist, Beyoncé. Now, with the looming possibility of a Bangkok concert by Britney Spears as part of the singer’s Asian Tour, tourism officials are now taking full advantage of that possibility, promoting the chance to see Britney Spears perform in Thailand as part of their marketing plans to furthermore improve the already improving tourism industry of Thailand. Imagine this: if Britney Spear is to include a visit to Thailand as part of her inter-nation concert tour, tens of thousands of her fans will waste no time and flock to Thailand as quickly as possible and they will take advantage of every available discount hotel in Bangkok. Concerts and other related activities by famous celebrities such as Britney Spears and Beyoncé can be used indirectly as a marketing strategy to lure both local and international tourists into your country.

Salvation Army To Provide A More Affordable Funeral Service For Australians

Posted on 2017-06-24 by Todd Marchel

Consumer advocates are happy. Salvation Army has entered the funeral industry of Australia. Consumer advocates are seriously concerned with some unscrupulous funeral service providers that prey on newly bereaved families. Because there is lack of competition in several areas, families do not have much choice.

Salvo Funerals was launched in Sydney after a successful 6-month trial period where it delivered more than 90 funerals. According to Malcolm Pittendrigh, chief executive of the funeral homes, the social enterprise is designed to meet the requirements of the community and return money to the not-for-profit. He has worked with the Salvation Army for almost 20 years and he pitched the idea of funeral services to the senior management as a “natural extension” of the work they provide.

The funeral market in Australia is dominated by two big players and Salvo Funerals hope to provide a more affordable option. People must have an opportunity for a fairer price model which is more transparent for bereaved families. Salvo Funerals hope to meet the needs of people in the lower economic class who cannot afford to pay thousands of dollars for funeral services.

The cost of funeral services in Australia varies widely. According to industry members that were interviewed by Guardian Australia, $10,000 is the average in Sydney. Salvo Funerals has a base offering of $2,180 for no-service, no-attendance cremation which is less than the $4,000 quoted by Asic for basic cremation.

Only 20% of people have made pre-plans for their funerals and the vast majority does not have any clue on how to organize a funeral. InvoCare dominates Australia’s funeral industry with 3 national branches and 30 regional operations. In 2016, its full year results showed almost 12% increase in its operating earnings after tax to $55.2 million. Its overall gross sales reached $450.7 million, up by 3.3% from the previous year.

Losing a loved one is very frustrating but there is funeral director in Rockingham who will provide the best advise on the most affordable options that will meet the needs of the family.

Indian Tyre Industry As The Poster Boy For Make In India Programme

Posted on 2017-06-23 by Todd Marchel

The Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association (ATMA) has commissioned a study on the feasibility of Indian manufacturers to export large amounts of tyres to the global market. It is also expected that the government will soon announce its decision on the anti-dumping case against China-made tyres.

According to officials, the central governments can use the Indian tyre industry as the poster boy for the Make in India programme particularly since four of the biggest global tyre makers are putting plants in the country. Arbitrage Research Institute was commissioned to study and made recommendations whether Indian tyre manufacturers can export tyres on a large scale.

According to ATMA chairman Satish Sharma, the government can help in a big way to realize large scale tyre exports to the global market. He told reporters that the automotive tyre industry earns nearly 15% of its annual turnover of about Rs50,000 crore from exports. Several foreign car manufacturers have exported their cars out of India to enable Indian tyre manufacturers to establish brand equity overseas.

Previously, foreign car makers fitted cars for the export market with imported foreign tyres. However, this trend has changed and India is now riding on the brand equity of foreign car manufacturers. Sharma further said that there are new players that are setting up plants in India. The existing plants are now in the process of expansion. Majority of the Indian tyre manufacturers are self sufficient when it concerns radial tyre technology.

Sharma also mentioned that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is expected to attract the attention of Chinese tyre importers into the organized sector. The price advantage that is being enjoyed by imported China-made tyres will no longer be there post-GST. Demonetization has wiped out the imported Chinese tyres and spurred the sales of tyres that were domestically manufactured.

Thousands of 2^nd hand tyres in Gold Coast are waiting for you. If you are a budget conscious car enthusiast, you can save a lot of money when you buy used tyres. You can use a tyre depth gauge to determine exactly how much is left on the tread to help you decide whether you are getting a good deal.

According to Gary Beresford, managing director of Frameless Glass Curtains when you have Manchester United as a customer, people will assume you are good company. Gary had 30 years experience in advertising before he launched the product that used to belong to a guy from Spain.

The company that originally used a barn in West Malling for its operations has now moved to Lordswood. It employs 20 people including three teams that perform home and business installations every day.

Posted on 2017-06-11 by Todd Marchel

The residents of Northern Tasmania has shown their concern over the growing stockpile of tyres in their location. Anyone who saw this could easily come up with the conclusion that there is a dire need to look into ad postings of tyre shredder for sale. While it has taken such a long time for the government of Tasmania to come up with a viable solution, recent update shows that it is not yet too late. This Northern Midlands Council has already approved the construction of a tyre shredder facility in Longford.

Northern Midlands Mayor David Downie says that this was a major decision for them. He adds that they too have been concerned because their municipality has a history of fires. The said incidents involved stockpiles of tyres that were significantly smaller in number that what they currently have today. The mayor says that their main concern is the damage that the current one could create should this catch fire like the previous ones. They also feared that this could create a domino effect where other properties could also be destroyed. With the plant in place, Tasmania could expect to remove the stockpile by year 2020. The plant owners must have been really busy looking up for tyre shredder for sale.

Tim Chugg from Tyre Recycle Tasmania is very happy with the approval. He claims that the plant is the environmental solution that the impending problem needs, saying that they are already a step closer to developing a new industry within the confines of the state.

Mr. Chugg now has his eyes of getting approved for having a facility that can turn the recycled and shredded waste into usable commercial products. He is still in the process of finalising for the application of a processing facility that they plan to use as a grinder and shredder of tyres. They have their eyes of using the processed materials for playground surfaces and roads. Mr. Chugg says that the shredding facility will only start operations if they get approved for the processing facility. He says that one has to function with the other.

If all goes well, then Northern Tasmania can expect to see the stockpile of tyres go for good in just a few years.

To get the best value for your money, find time to look around from different sources of service to get better deals and more savings in the process. Some of the instances where you would need storage solutions can include the following:

Moving to a new home

When you have to move to a new location, most of your things and furniture would be left in total disarray. In order for you to organize your things properly and have a good visual on where you are going to place or arrange your furniture in your new home. To achieve a good visual, empty your house and for the meantime, store your belongings in a storage space. You will also need a storage space if you are going to move to a house with smaller space and it cannot accommodate all your things inside. For this, hire storage with longer term until you find a way to place your furniture and other personal belongings.

Home renovations

If your house is going through renovation or major repairs or repainting, it would be best to find storage solutions in Sydney to place your things for the meantime. This will prevent damages and accidental dents on your things especially if you are repainting the house. Choose a storage that can accommodate all of your furniture, appliances and things therein.

For extra space

If you have extra items and you need to store them, one of your best options is to look for storage solutions in Sydney where you can store your furniture or items that you do not currently need such as winter sports gadget or equipment, baby cribs, Jet Ski and similar items. Choose a storage company with spacious facilities but offers these at a reasonable price.

Posted on 2017-05-31 by Todd Marchel

There’s nothing more saddening than to learn that someone who is very dear to you has already passed away. But that’s how life as it is. Death, no matter how much we hate it, is a part of the human life. It’s a part of our life cycle and at the end of the day, we will meet our Creator, eventually. Now, planning and preparing for your love one’s funeral is never an easy thing to do. Fortunately, if you are living in Sydney, Australia and let’s say, your father has passed on peacefully in his sleep. The first thing you need to do is to look for a reliable team of funeral directors in Sydney who will be courteous and understanding in your needs as well as the desires of the departed one for his/her funeral. Your chosen funeral parlour must be well-equipped and has years’ worth of experiences in terms of successfully facilitating funerals, regardless of the kind of funeral that may be. In addition to this, they must have a wide variety of things that are related to funerals such as the choices of caskets, transportation for guests going to the burial site and, refreshments that are going to be served during the wake and the post-burial.

Nowadays, funeral directors in Sydney and in other major cities in the world are now following greener methods in facilitating funerals. For example, the choice of the casket is made of alternative materials and not the usual marble ones which are also heavy. There are now caskets that are made of bamboo, willow and yes, even pineapple leaves that are properly woven together. In addition, greener means have been employed by some funeral parlours in transporting the casket from the funeral parlour to the burial site. They don’t use the usual black and shiny hearses. They use bright, sometimes pink hearses or even, a tricycle. The major goal of these alternative and more environment-friendly funeral options is to make funerals more natural and not pompous. These funeral directors want to have funerals tailored in such a way that it will be of celebrating the life of the departed one and not the usual sorrowful service.
