Friendship Quotes arein everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for Quotes About Moving On that rekindle the inner spirit.

 

Friendship is a precious gift that can’t be bought or sold. It’s value is greater than mountains made of gold. If you shall ask God for a gift be thankful if he sends not diamonds pearls or riches but the love and trust of friends.

 

“The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one.”

 

Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

 

“Where there is life, there is hope.”

 

Friendship quotes – If you’re alone, I’ll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I’ll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I’ll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I’ll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I’ll just be me.

 

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?

 

Friends are like pieces of a puzzle. If you lose one it will never be complete again, I just want you to know that you are one of those pieces in my life I can’t afford to lose.

 

Quotes about moving on – When you cry, i laugh with the tear in my eye. when you laugh with the tear in your eye, i cry. this is because when we die, we know that we ALWAYS made the other laugh with tears in their eye, but yet still know NEVER cried alone.

 

“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.”

 

Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.

 

Every expression of desired friendship has potential bite. Every smile reveals the teeth.

 

Quotes about moving on – Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love become as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

 

“My friends are my estate.”

Property Management Quotes/rates

Posted on by

Pretty much like buying something off a store, property management also has an array of prices imposed on them as you use their service. The prices though are not general. It varies in terms of service quality and its scope. A more established property management company, of course, imposes higher rates, while the not very exceptional ones or startups cannot really impose a rate as soaring. As to the scope, normally, a property manager takes care of the general and monotonous tasks, and depending on the agreement, can go beyond that. The common tasks assigned to a real estate manager that he can decide himself are advertisement, maintenances issues, invoice, getting the payments every month and receiving the concerns of tenants. Property owners always get their hands on screening tenants, property repairs, mortgage, loans and in the string of similar financial dealings – just about everything that includes financial decisions.

On the average, a real estate management quotes range from 3 percent to 10 percent gross rent collected every month. Before you a hire property manager, be sure to run a little background check and referrals. Ask people who they have worked before about their services and thoroughly assess them of services offered. Expenditures for repairs are added as agreed to the aforementioned percentage as soon as they are agreed upon by both parties. Put in mind that hiring a property manager does not mean total hands off of your property. It’s still your business after all and the finances are critical issues that may cause serious disputes if left unattended – be it paying tax, insurance, mortgage etc. You also have to account with the real estate manager regarding repairs. It will be a determinant of how much exactly to spend should there be damages that occur. Moreover, property owners might also want to do tenant screening themselves. This is to assure that they know of the quality of the people who are going to occupy their property, and are comfortable with them. This could take time, but it really is all up to you.

Perhaps the most difficult task of a property manager is when they get to deal with tenants. Invoices and similar sorts of paper works are arduous jobs that can be done by anyone. Dealing with people’s sour attitudes is what tests are property manager. Let’s face it, people can be quite difficult sometimes. However, you can’t wage conflicts against them either because they are the lifeblood of your business. You need someone to take care of this reputation if you think you don’t have the heart for it. It really takes some guts to stick to your guns when tenants are making you wave his late payment. If you tolerate his behavior and wave, then he has all the reason he needs to do it again. If you strictly assert your policy, you’d appear too stern and inconsiderate. If you have a real estate manager, he can always just say he’s doing his job, which he does. Nobody’s going to bother you at ridiculous hours for repairs, or when you’re spending quality time with family. Property managers can be expensive, but a quote of 3%-10% will you bring about priceless peace of mind.

Manville, NJ Families Receive $90.5 M Verdict Against Foreign Asbestos Giant

Posted on by


NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey (PRWEB) July 03, 2014

Verdicts totaling $ 90.5 Million in 11 mesothelioma death cases (1) – including a mother and daughter – were rendered by the Superior Court of Middlesex County after years of litigation and a week of hearings before the Honorable Ana C. Viscomi.

According to court documents, the plaintiff families – represented by the law firms of Levy Konigsberg and Szaferman Lakind – sued Anova Holding, AG and Becon, AG for the asbestos that they sold to Johns-Manville and which proximately caused their mesotheliomas – a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.

The lawyers for the families utilized the procedures of international treaties to serve Anova and Becon (both foreign entities) with the complaints. Neither defendant appeared or answered the complaints. Undeterred, the plaintiffs successfully obtained Default Judgments against these companies, and again served them with notice of the scheduled Proof Hearings through The Hague Convention procedures.

Starting on June 20, 2014, court hearings were held to award damages to these families. The families were represented at the hearings by Leah Kagan and Moshe Maimon of Levy Konigsberg, and testimony of the mesothelioma victims, their families, and expert witnesses concluded on June 26, 2014. After deliberating upon the evidence, the Court awarded damages to each family for the pain and suffering of the mesothelioma victims and loss of consortium to their spouses. According to Kagan, “These families have suffered horribly at the hands of companies like Anova and Becon, and we are proud to represent them in their brave and unrelenting quest for justice.”

According to the lawsuit papers, Anova Holding, AG and Becon, AG are successors to the Eternit group of companies, which mined asbestos in South Africa, primarily, and sold it throughout the world, including to the Johns-Manville Company. In 2012, two executives from Eternit, family heir Stephan Schmidheiny and Belgian billionaire Baron Louis de Cartier de Marchienne, were convicted in a highly publicized criminal trial in Turin, Italy for their mining and sale of asbestos. They were held responsible for the deaths of almost 3,000 people (2).

Levy Konigsberg LLP is a nationally recognized trial law firm specializing in the representation of mesothelioma and other asbestos cancer victims. For more details about the hearing and judgment, contact Leah Kagan or Moshe Maimon.

20 Best Quotes From Scarlett Johansson

Posted on by

Scarlett Johansson is half Danish and half Polish with natural red hair that makes her look distinctive from others. After splitting from her husband Ryan Reynolds, the 29-year-old actress got engaged to French journalist Romain Dauriac. The happy couple are now expecting their first child together in August 2014.

Following are 20 best quotes from Scarlett Johansson. Let’s check out now.

“I went through this realization that acting, at its heart, is the ability to manipulate your own emotions.”

“I have a lot of actor friends who worked with their parents closely and have had really horrible experiences. They end up suing or being emancipated. The wonderful thing about my mom [who is also her manager] is that she completely respects my creative weirdness and supports any decision I make.”

“I hope they make a video game of me. At least I wouldn’t have any cellulite then.”

“I’ve never considered myself a femme fatale as I’ve never seduced anyone and ruined their lives. At least as far as I know.”

“I’m so tired of hearing casting directors ask if I have a sore throat. The people who have told me that my voice is distinctive, it’s unusual … those people have always been close to my heart

(Photo credit: Marc Piasecki/Getty Images Europe)

“I find beauty in unusual things, like hanging your head out the window or sitting on a fire escape.”

“I never struggled with trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do or what made the sparks go for me.”

“I am very independent. I can look after myself but I still need a lot of love and care.”

“I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don’t want to be an old hag. There’s no fun in that.”

“I don’t talk about my personal relationships, it always ends up kicking you in the face. But I’ve read a lot of things about myself and think, ‘Wow! That girl sounds really saucy.”

(Photo credit: Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images Europe)

“I do think on some basic level we are animals and by instinct we kind of breed accordingly. But, as much as I believe that, I work really hard when I’m in a relationship to make it work in a monogamous way.”

“I’ve always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.”

“Tons of that stuff comes to me, but a lot of it is awful. All these teenage slaying movies, and movies about girls that have deformities that become cheerleaders and then marry the prom king!”

“I would never knowingly go into a film that I wouldn’t pay to see, or something that didn’t challenge me.”

“I’m very independent. I can look after myself but I still need a lot of love and care.”

(Photo credit: Rob Kim/Getty Images North America)

“I once heard that women dress for women — not for men — and I think that has some truth to it. Men, what do they know? They don’t know if you gain or lose five pounds. They’re oblivious to those kinds of things. A lot of men will say “I like you just as you are.” And you’re like “But I’m bloated!” If they’re attracted to you, they’re attracted to you.”

“I’m curvy – I’m never going to be 5′ 11′ and 120 pounds. But I feel lucky to have what I’ve got.”

“I just want to work on things that are really hard, and when I’m not working on things that are really hard, I want to hang out with people I like to be with, and that’s it.”

“You work hard making independent films for fourteen years and you get voted best breasts.”

“You’re married, and suddenly you have your own family. There’s a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain … You’ve got your home in that other person.”

15 Best Quotes About Celebrities

Listed below are 15 quotes about celebrities you cannot afford to miss.

“Don’t say: ‘can’t do that’, ‘won’t do that’. I’ve never thought in that way about work. The genuine truth, and I do think about this a lot, is that I’m one of the least competitive people you’ll ever meet. Except with myself.” – Daniel Craig

“Failure is a great teacher and, if you are open to it, every mistake has a lesson to offer.” – Oprah Winfrey

“The most talented do not always end up as celebrities, and those with less talent often do. Upsets are written into our history and occur around us every day.” – John C. Maxwell

“I’ve always been famous, it’s just no one knew it yet.” – Lady Gaga

“If there’s any message to my work, it is ultimately that it’s OK to be different, that it’s good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgement on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color.” – Johnny Depp

“I don’t like celebrities; I don’t hang out with them; I don’t relate to that life.” – Lady Gaga

“Greatness is not this wonderful, esoteric, elusive, God-like, feature that only the special among us will ever taste. It’s something that truly exists in all of us. It’s very simple. This is what I believe, and I’m willing to die for it.” – Will Smith

“I’m sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there’s a lot that can be achieved by putting a check in the right place and shutting up about it.” – Russell Crowe

“I know a lot of celebrities who are perfectly happy to put their name to something and then leave it at that because the money is good, but I need to have complete control over how something is going to look if my name is going to be attached to it.” – Heidi Klum

“When anybody honks at me in traffic, I blush, wave, and shout, “Thanks for being a fan.” Being a celebrity is a 24/7 thing.” – Jarod Kintz

(Photo credit: Christopher Polk/Getty Images North America)

“A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to be well-known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.” – Fred Allen

“Look at the way celebrities and politicians are using Facebook already. When Ashton Kutcher posts a video, he gets hundreds of pieces of feedback. Maybe he doesn’t have time to read them all or respond to them all, but he’s getting good feedback and getting a good sense of how people are thinking about that and maybe can respond to some of it.” – Mark Zuckerberg

“I’m not comfortable being around too many people. I don’t like being out in public too much. I don’t like going to bars. I don’t like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don’t always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.” – Adam Sandler

“Any actress who appears in public without being well-groomed is digging her own grave.” – Joan Crawford

“I don’t give away my shoes to celebrities for free. I’m only happy when people like what I do and make the effort to buy them. I would not be happy to see people in my shoes if I knew that they had to be paid to do it, that they had to be pushed.” – Christian Louboutin
