America for the most part is a pretty awesome place. We’ve got apple pie, football, and Britney Spears. Yes, America is the land of the free, the home of the brave, and land of weird traffic laws? True dat. Believe it or not, the U.S. has some oddly archaic traffic laws, many of which made sense at the time but no longer apply. Other laws just defy any sort of common sense, making you wonder what people in 1938 were smoking. Regardless, if you’re planning that cross-country adventure or you happen to live in one of the states we’re calling out, you might want to pay close attention.

In recent months European banks have been subjected to stress testing. The purpose of the testing is to determine if a bank’s capital can withstand a loss from a catastrophic event that is improbable, but possible, and will impair assets. It is surprising to realize that a relatively small impairment of assets can wipe out the capital of even banks that appear to be very solid.

What happens when a company applies a similar stress test to its balance sheet? In assessing the balance sheet of a company some areas to consider are:

  • What percentage of total assets is represented by Accounts Receivable?

Driving during the winter can be often times a challenging and difficult thing. There are a number of things that any driver should do to prepare for the winter driving season and to make sure that one is always being as safe as possible.

Ensure the Car is Tuned Up

The first step would be to ensure that the vehicle is well-maintained and receives a tuneup or check up before the winter season. When it is cold, a person does not want to have to worry about the vehicle not performing well or breaking down.

During this tuneup, the tread of the tires should be checked. Tires with a decent tread will certainly help to keep the vehicle safely on the road while worn tires have the potential to cause accidents. Full Article…
