			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong>Mysore, the second largest city of Karnataka, is located in the vicinity of India&#8217;s IT hub, Bangalore or Bengaluru. It is barely 140 kilometres from the capital city, Bangalore and is widely known for its festivities during the festival of Dusshera. Mysore is fast emerging as the next most preferred IT destination after Bangalore due to the congestion and resulting saturation of the country&#8217;s IT hub.</p>
<p>In order to support the growth bandwagon of IT leaders, Mysore has been chosen as the upcoming software nucleus. According to analysis of real estate sectors, it is actually the prospering of IT sector that brings about a boost in real estate trends of a city. Mysore is witnessing the launch of various IT projects, thus, leading to infrastructural developments and generating needs for expansion of real estate sector. Therefore, as evident by the increase in demand for both residential and commercial property and the consequent hike in property rates, the trends of real estate development in Mysore are no different.<span id="more-2384"></span></p>
<p>After flooding Bangalore with global software companies, IT majors are expanding their operations in the nearby city, Mysore. Undoubtedly, its favorable location i.e. being in proximity to the technology capital has proved highly advantageous to Mysore. When the focus of IT industry was Bengaluru, the property rates in Mysore were quite low and affordable while the real estate of Bangalore was flourishing. Since, this interest has now been displaced and shifted to Mysore, its real estate sector seems to be reaching an all time high. The modernization program has already begun with the primary task of improving connectivity of the city to other regions.</p>
<p>The revamping of airport, the doubling of railway tracks between the cities and the completion of Bangalore-Mysore expressway are some of the recent developments taking place to create a better communication network. Large numbers of residential and commercial developments are also under progress to accommodate the demands of both individuals and large-scale companies.</p>
<p>Some of the upcoming residential properties include Shalom Voyagers&#8217; Central Park at Ideal Jawa; Brigade Group&#8217;s Brigade Citadel in Yadavagiri, Brigade Horizon in Siddhartha Layout and Brigade Solitaire behind Lalitha Mahal Palace; Damden Properties&#8217; Beryl, Square, Prithvi, Solar and Arbor and many others.</p>
<p>The commercial real estate of Mysore has become the hottest choice for many corporate giants for both carrying out business operations and as an investment destination. The properties in Landsdown Building, Devaraje Urs Road, Sajjan Rao Road, KT Street, 100 ft Road, Irwin Road and MG Road have the highest demand for building up of office spaces.</p>
<p>The price of <a href="http://www.99acres.com/real-estate-a-property-in-mysore.htm"><strong>property in Mysore</strong> </a>have already doubled and even trebled in many of its important areas in last few years. It has been indicated clearly that the overall growth of the city that includes the speedy rise of real estate, information technology and retail sectors is all set to fuel up the property rates further. The special interest of NRIs in Mysore property is another major reason for the hike of property prices in the region.</p>
<p>Being the ‘Cultural capital of Karnataka&#8217;, Mysore attracts large number of tourists, especially at the time of Dusshera celebration that continues for 10 days. Mysore is also popularly known as the ‘City of Palaces&#8217; as it houses various beautiful palaces including the Mysore Palace. There is a unique ancient charm that prevails in the city, alluring people from everywhere to visit the city, making it an important tourist destination of the State of Karnataka.</p>
<p>It is, thus, suggested that if you are planning to buy or invest in <strong>Mysore</strong><strong> property</strong>, the right time is now because prices still fall in moderate zone. They are only going to rise in the coming years and so, will definitely yield high investment returns.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Processing tax returns is now an easy task for businesses and individuals who do not have the time to do it themselves. This is through the presence of firms that offer such service as outsource tax return. There are now a lot of accounting firms that handle outsourcing tax preparations such as tax returns for whatever reason a business or an individual has in not being able to handle them.</p>
<p>However, the most common reason on seeking out this type of outsourcing service is the reduction of overhead costs that could be entailed for the recruitment and training of staff to handle this process. It is definitely for you and your business in soaring to greater heights, abundance and success. To be able to survive the tough industry of the business world.</p>
<p><span id="more-2398"></span>It Is Practical</p>
<p>You are using workforce away from your establishment or office. It&#8217;s so practical, and convenient. Imagine, in just a few seconds, you will be able to transfer information in any part of the world. The time zone difference gives the U.S. accounting firms an advantage. Upon leaving work during the night, overseas accountants are now in charge in working on the information delegated to them. Upon return in the morning, you will find all your accounting work done. That gives you&#8217;re a round the clock operation.</p>
<p>Benefits</p>
<p>If you are a business owner who wants to find a firm handling outsource tax return, then this can be the simplest move and most profitable move that you could make. This is because not only will you be sparing yourself the cost of getting your own in-house tax preparer, you would also be expending the time and effort of your present staff to matters that are more important in moving your business forward. If your staff would not have to handle your tax returns, then they would be able to do their jobs more efficiently. This would lead you to offer more to your customers when it comes to service and satisfaction.</p>
<p>As the normal processing of tax returns would take several business days, then you would have saved this time as well and used it for a better purpose if you would utilize an outsource tax return. You would be able to use this time for the improvement of the systems of your business or for bettering the products or services that you are offering to your customers. Another thing about is that you will be offered with flexible options when it comes to meeting the requirements of the processing of your tax returns. With this, you will be assured that all aspects that you need for your tax returns will be complied with. With firms offering outsource tax return service, you will also be guaranteed that your tax data will remain confidential and secure.</p>
<p>The benefits you actually gain by the service are valuable. Diminutions in expenses reap, better profit ratio causing material benefits to the company.</p>
<p>Capabilities</p>
<p>The best thing about hiring the service of a firm that handles outsource tax return is their capability to do the job for you at a lesser time and cost. However, you have to be aware that these firms are able to do their tasks because they also make use of first-rate software brands like Lacerte, Drake, Creative Solutions, ATX and Proseries. These software brands and other software applications like them are known to be suitable when it comes to tax preparations and are among those being used by CPA agencies and accounting firms in the United States.</p>
<p>Now, most of the accounting firms offering outsource tax return service have two methods in helping you out with your tax processing. These are either through the provision of updates through local software or through a remote desktop. Whichever of these two methods you will choose, you will be asked to scan and upload your documents to the server of your outsourcing firm. The difference would be that with the first method, a firm would make use of their own software license, while the second would entail the firm to use a remote desktop application to be able to connect to the PC used in your business.</p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.books2taxes.com/outsource-tax-preparation.html" target="_new">Outsourcing Tax Returns</a> is no more a new phenomenon. There are many reputed Tax Return Outsourcing Firms that cater to small and medium businesses and CPA Firms worldwide.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing the Right Property<br />
The question facing a first time investor is where to start. The first thing you don&#8217;t want to do is consider a property just because you like it. Remember, this is an investment. You are expecting to make some money on it. Therefore, choose a property that is economically feasible for profit. This means that you will have to determine its market value. You also need to consider that in most cases, foreclosures require a great deal of work to bring them up to market value. In any case, it&#8217;s suggested that you stay within a 3% variance between the foreclosure price and estimated market value.</p>
<p>Property Research<br />
A Multiple Listing Service or MLS and a title company can provide you with the information you need to determine the market value of the property. You can also visit the Register of Mesne Conveyances (RMC) Office usually located within your local court house to locate platts, original price of property, etc.. If you don&#8217;t have the time to conduct this research, you may want to hire someone who provides this type of service. Details that are not always obvious like tax liens or wrong property information can trip up an otherwise solid deal. <span id="more-2382"></span></p>
<p>Understand the Foreclosure Process<br />
It&#8217;s important that you become familiar with how the foreclosure process works. Lenders want to know that you are serious about your investment. Some expect you to have a considerable amount of money to work with, or that you have someone to back you. In the event that you don&#8217;t fall into this category doesn&#8217;t mean that you cannot get a loan. Nor, does it mean cash in hand will speed up the process. Becoming familiar with the foreclousre process will keep you from becoming frustrated while you patiently endure the lengthy wait necessary to complete the foreclosure transaction.</p>
<p>Know the Law<br />
Each state has its own law regarding foreclosures. It&#8217;s important to know whether Title Deeds or Mortgages are used. For one thing, Title Deeds don&#8217;t necessarily mean that the holder owns the property. Dealing with persons in default status is another legal issue to be considered. Just because a property is in foreclosure status doesn&#8217;t mean that no one is living there. This can present problems especially if you need to inspect the property. Know what you can or cannot do to avoid any legal issues.</p>
<p>Foreclosure investment can be a blessing or a curse. It&#8217;s definitely no place for the inexperienced. For someone considering a foreclosed property as an investment, it&#8217;s best to contact a realtor who specializes in short sales and foreclosures. An attorney will also advice you in regards to other legal issues that might stand in the way of acquiring your property. In spite of the challenges presented by investing in foreclosed property, there is money to be made.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Filing income tax returns could be a daunting task for a business owner. Sometimes accountants and accounting clerks need to render overtime just to make sure that the preparation for the said documents and files are organized and done efficiently. For some, because of the large workload would need to temporarily hire someone who could work with the accountants. This would entail a considerable amount of money in overhead and staff costs.</p>
<p>Fortunately, there is a growing trend to utilize online tax return preparation these days. With the use of it, you can now just sit and work on your computer right in the comforts of your home. You will be amazed, that everything can be finished in as short as one hour, depending on the bulk of your data. Say goodbye now to the old fashion technique of tax preparation. If you can make everything easy and quick, then why not. It does not only save you efforts, it can save you time and money as well. But for some, this could be something that they would be skeptic about. The concerns would be about confidentiality and privacy of documents.<span id="more-2396"></span></p>
<p>Also, if a business belongs to small to medium enterprise, additional cost must be considered to set up an online system that makes tax return preparation easy. Plus, it would mean employing the latest software. Another possible worry is untested and unproven tax preparation methods that may jeopardize the whole system at the end. That instead of trying to conform to the tax law and trying to be as diligent in tax preparation as possible, online tax return preparation may be detrimental to the business as a whole. More worries would come for those who are not yet well versed or at least open to the idea about these modern tax return preparation systems.</p>
<p>But if you are sure of the company offering online tax return preparation, there is indeed nothing to worry about. The first step therefore that needs to be looked into with the use of this kind of tax return preparation is to know how the system works. You just have to know the methods that are employed by companies offering so that your skepticism or worries will be eliminated.</p>
<p>So before you open yourself to the idea of online tax return preparation, here are the things that you should check with companies offering you such services and get rid of your worries:</p>
<p>- How cost effective will it be if my business utilizes the service through outsourcing companies? In this question, you can ask for quotations for the cost of the service and compare it with your current overhead and staff costs in working with tax returns.</p>
<p>- Will the data that I give to outsourced companies be treated with utmost confidentiality? How will I know that they treat my data with such diligence? What are their policies with regards to this and how would I be assured that such policy is implemented?</p>
<p>- What are the methods they employ? Will their system hamper my business operation? Are the methods that they employ easy to understand and one that I&#8217;m familiar about?</p>
<p>- Are the companies who offer online services, well versed with the latest accounting systems and processes?</p>
<p>- Are the systems that they employ for outsourcing services reliable and secure?</p>
<p>When all of these questions are answered favorably by the outsourcing companies who offer the services on online tax return preparation, you can be assured that your shift from manual preparation to online methods will work for your own business benefit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know if your land is in a flood zone? If not, you should. Even if your land does not flood yearly (or even every decade), you may need flood insurance to protect you from a flood that is destined to happen at some point in the future. Most homeowners insurance policies do not automatically cover a flood, even if your property is in a flood zone.</p>
<p>Knowing whether or not your home is in a flood zone is important whether you are a property owner, homeowner, or tenant. Youll need to know this information if you wish to determine the cost or apply for flood insurance. Its also important to know about the dangers of flooding so that youre not caught unprepared. Flood zones also have implications for public utilities, real estate development, and other actions on the land.</p>
<p>To find out if land is in a flood zone, youll need to look at a flood map. This map, which covers all areas of the United States, is produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, and is updated every few years. FEMA flood maps are available for free viewing on the internet. The process for determining whether your land lies in a flood zone is very easy. Simply find your property on the FEMA flood zone map.<span id="more-2380"></span></p>
<p>To find a particular property on the flood map, you&#8217;ll need a little information about where the property is located. All properties are represented in the map, regardless of their flood zone designation. You can use the street address or the state, county, and city to go to that part of the flood map directly. You can also view the entire map of the area, zooming in until you have located the particular lot in which you&#8217;re interested. If you&#8217;ve already viewed the flood map and known the Panel ID for the FEMA flood map of your area, enter that ID number to be taken directly to that section of the map. Once you&#8217;ve found the area of the map that is of interest to you, you can purchase a copy, or print it for free on your own printer.</p>
<p>On this map, youll see the various flood zones, from areas likely to flood annually to those that may flood every century or even less frequently. Some areas that you may not think of as being in a flood zone are actually located in a flood zone. Floodplains are described by the expected frequency of flooding. For example, an annual floodplain is expected to flood once each year, while a 100-year floodplain is expected to flood about once every 100 years. Anywhere it rains, flooding is possible, even if you&#8217;ve never heard of floods in the area. In fact, according to the National Flood Insurance Program, nearly a quarter of flood insurance claims come from areas with low to moderate flood risk. The flood risk shown on a FEMA flood map is based on history, rainfall, riverflow, topography, and other data, and is re-evaluated every few years based on new data.</p>
<p>The lower the degree of risk, the lower the flood insurance premium you&#8217;ll have to pay. Flood insurance providers use the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for insurance evaluations. This map shows your community&#8217;s base flood elevation, flood zones, and the boundaries of the floodplain, or area that is most at risk of frequent flooding. If your home is located in a flood plain likely to flood at least once per century, you are required to have flood insurance. This can be a problem if you have modified your land, for example building up the land under your home so that it no longer lies in the floodplain. In order to reduce your flood insurance requirements, you may need to have a land surveyor survey your land to provide elevation certification.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Build America Bonds (BABs) program, a new piece of legislation from the Obama Administration, focuses on aiding struggling state and local municipalities across the U.S. The program, part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, creates taxable municipal bonds, a radical departure from the long-standing tax exempt status quo for munis.</p>
<p>While bonds issued under the BABs program are fully taxable, the issuer receives a direct subsidy equal to 35% of the bonds coupon, or stated interest rate. The intent is to make some of the benefits of traditional muni bonds available to investors outside the highest tax brackets.</p>
<p>For many years there has been talk within the Treasury Department and the IRS that the tax exemption for municipal bonds is an inefficient subsidy since it allows only the highest taxpayers to benefit from the tax exempt income. At current tax rates, top bracket earners avoid paying 35% on that income. That benefit obviously will increase if/when taxes go up.<span id="more-2394"></span></p>
<p>The BABs program will have significant benefits if it is embraced by lower bracket earners who need taxable income from their investments. The program will make it easier for municipalities to raise needed funds by bringing in a large new group of investors that have not previously participated in the municipal bond arena.</p>
<p>There is some question about what effect this program might have on existing tax exempt municipal bonds. The BABs program only allows bonds to be sold for new projects, not to refinance debt incurred in the past. An issuer can&#8217;t issue BABs to call old debt. Therefore, if the BABs program gains significant momentum, the municipal bonds currently in the marketplace are less likely to be redeemed early. As a result many of the bonds already issued are, in-effect, non-callable. More importantly, if new issues of tax exempt bonds are virtually non-existent, the demand for existing issues by the highest tax payers could increase significantly.</p>
<p>Some critics of the program argue that while BABs might have some benefits for those outside the highest tax brackets, the wealthiest individuals will still reap the most rewards. While this might be the case, I applaud the program&#8217;s goal of trying to bring the median income individual into the muni bond market. This could very well be a nice addition for those living on their income from investments (like CD&#8217;s, etc.) and a huge win for municipalities in those parts of the country that are struggling right now.</p>
<p>That said, the biggest winners just might be those that already own the old-style, tax exempt version of municipal bonds. We are telling our clients to hold on to their high quality Arizona tax free bonds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As opposed to a pure senior living model, developers today are getting ready to launch inter-generational townships</p>
<p>Manohar Singh, a marketing professional who travels extensively, constantly worries about his father&#8217;s security and medical needs. The duo share a strong bond and yet cherish their independence. They&#8217;re looking for a modern housing option where they need not live under the same roof but at the same time stay close to each other. <span id="more-2378"></span>Well, the Singhs can count themselves lucky as some developers are planning to introduce inter-generational (IG) <a href="http://www.zameen-zaidad.com/">townships</a> in the market soon. These would be integrated townships that include an enclave or a special cluster for seniors with special facilities such as nursing care and a wellness centre.</p>
<p>What is IG housing?</p>
<p>Studies have indicated that seniors, especially the post independence generation, do not wish to be isolated in remote retirement villages but prefer to be actively involved in the changing urban cityscape. A popular concept in the US, these inter-generational communities can become relevant from an Indian standpoint too. Developers can carve out well-planned enclaves aimed at seniors within their integrated townships and carefully integrate the same in the overall plan.</p>
<p>So, an elderly couple can have their children with their nuclear families living a block or two away. The younger lot can enjoy its independence and yet, reassuringly, just be a phone call away from the parents.</p>
<p>&#8220;These dwellings enable elders to look at retirement from a fresh perspective -the beginning of an active new lifestyle where they are not only well taken care of but even get to deploy their skills to serve society or pick up a new hobby,&#8221; says Saumyajit Roy, assistant vice president, strategic business unit, education, healthcare and senior living at Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj.</p>
<p>Varied products The Indian housing market has been experimenting with models for senior living. From old age homes built on a single plot to senior living resorts located away from the city, spread across three to five acres, the sector will now see the advent of IG communities located on land parcels that are as big as 50 acres to 1000 acres.</p>
<p>Rakindo Developers Private Ltd will launch one such project, Kovai Hills, in June this year. Located on the fast developing Coimbatore Pallakad corridor, the project is to be developed over 1,000 acres and will have a 100bedded hospital, a wellness spa, schools, colleges and even a 18-hole golf course thrown in. Says Dr Prashant Koneru, the company&#8217;s director-development, &#8220;It&#8217;s wrongly assumed that seniors want to live a secluded life. They would much rather interact with and play an important role in giving back something to society. That&#8217;s why we decided to introduce this concept in our integrated township. We also plan to replicate the model in our future townships in Kumarakom and Chennai.&#8221; Impact Senior Living Estates Private Ltd, too, is coming up ILLUSTRATION: ABHIMANYU SINHA with a similar facility in Amritsar. This will be part of a larger township spread over 50 acres with three to four acres reserved for senior residents.</p>
<p>&#8220;It will be a gated colony within a colony. The focus is on service and medical care.</p>
<p>There will be nursing care and healthcare provided by Fortis. The seniors&#8217; facility will be located at the far end of the colony for their security and to enable them to enjoy a great view,&#8221; points out Jaivir Singh of the group.</p>
<p>Different formats there are two ways in which IG communities can be created. The first way, according to Roy, is to develop an age-targeted enclave or a cluster within a master planned community, something that the developers targeting senior accommodation in India are focusing on. The second involves a pre-planned infill pattern wherein senior housing is sprinkled over a larger neighbourhood involving multiple generations in agetargeted homes. A massive experiment of this nature was undertaken in Denver, US, over a 4,700 acre redevelopment exercise. The layout pattern had both small and large lot sizes. This promoted natural selection wherein a community was created with different age groups living together in spaces specifically designed for them.</p>
<p>In both cases, placement of amenities and landscape can play an important role in connecting the private home areas to the common areas such as a clubhouse, dining areas, nursing care, or wellness centres. In a particular neighbourhood in the US, an architect placed the club house and the common areas such as coffee shops, restaurants and convenience stores in such a manner that it was convenient to the senior for his active daytime usage and for youngsters&#8217; usage in the mornings or late evenings. This also promoted intermingling of generations, which is extremely healthy for seniors and young people. Schools, colleges, creche, day care facilities and even small time businesses can be designed inside the township so as to encourage seniors, repositories of knowledge and learning, to work as teachers and advisors.</p>
<p>Such engagement activities help the social fabric develop in a township and also provide seniors with a sense of identity.</p>
<p>The model As in the US, IG colonies can be based on equity, lease, deposit fee or a combination model. These communities, unlike standalone senior living resorts, provide for economy of scale as many facilities are shared.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is possible to develop well-planned senior enclaves within larger townships since it cross-subsidises the cost of development of common area facilities among larger townships and makes the neighbourhood attractive for seniors,&#8221; says Roy.</p>
<p>Usually, in many senior living facilities, developers offer a payback scheme for these homes after the demise of the residents.</p>
<p>People get to buy membership to live there and use the facilities for as long as they live.</p>
<p>Impact Senior Living Estates Private Limited offers two models -a high entry charge and a monthly amount (approximately Rs 20 lakh as entry charge and Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 that includes food and housekeeping) or a low entry amount and a high monthly charge (approximately Rs 42,000-Rs 48,000 per month), points out Singh.</p>
<p>Adds Koneru, &#8220;We are planning to introduce a lease model (creating a low entry barrier) which will cover housing, food, regular medical check-ups and specialised services such as house accountants, etc.&#8221; The future Inter-generational colonies have a bright future in India.</p>
<p>This is because many township projects in the country cover areas of well over 30 acres, where the developer can easily use a part of his project to create an enclave which has facilities that elders can appreciate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Singapore Property tax is a tax levied on properties in Singapore. This includes all types of properties such as HDB flats, factories, offices and vacant land. If you or your business owns property, you are liable to pay property tax.</p>
<p>The amount of property tax you have to pay per year is a percentage of the Annual Value of the property which you own. The Annual Value is the estimated yearly rent the property can fetch if it were rented out. The tax rate for owner-occupied residential property is 4% per year. The tax rate for all other properties is 10%.</p>
<p>Property taxes must be paid by 31st January each year. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) will compute the annual tax you need to pay and send you the bill in December. Instructions on how to pay property tax are also included in your bill.<span id="more-2392"></span></p>
<p><strong>Rebates, Relief, Refunds</strong><br />
In order to help keep taxes affordable, encourage certain types of land development and meet business needs, the Government gives out rebates, reliefs and refunds to property owners. For example, if your property has been continuously vacant for at least 30 days or 1 calendar month because of repairs or the inability to find a tenant, you can claim for a refund of <a title="property tax" href="http://www.rikvin.com/taxation/singapore-property-tax-information/">property tax</a> for that period.</p>
<p><strong>Property Tax Exemptions</strong><br />
A building is only exempt from property tax if it is used exclusively:</p>
<p>· as a public place of worship</p>
<p>· as a public school</p>
<p>· for charitable purposes</p>
<p>· for purposes that promote the social development of Singapore</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In order to be considered tax-deductible your donation must meet a few restrictions:</p>
<p>1. You actually have to donate the cash or property; a pledge or promise to pay does not count as a deduction until it is actually paid.</p>
<p>2. You must itemize your return in order to claim the deduction. Taxpayers taking the standard deduction cannot deduct charitable contributions.</p>
<p>3. You have to meet the IRS&#8217; record keeping requirements, and will need to keep all receipts, canceled checks, acknowledgement letters, and appraisals for donated property.</p>
<p>Cash Donations</p>
<p>All monetary contributions made either by check, money order, credit card, or electronic funds transfer, etc. to qualified nonprofit groups can be deducted on your tax return. Just be sure that you have adequate records for all contributions.<span id="more-2390"></span></p>
<p>Non-Cash Donations</p>
<p>Non-cash donations or donations of personal property can also be deducted on your tax return. However they are subject to strict record keeping and substantiation rules. Meaning, you must be able to substantiate the market value of the items donated, and keep written acknowledgements from the charity. If your total non-cash contributions total more than $500 you will also need to attach IRS Form 8283 to your tax return, and if the value of any item exceeds $5,000 then you must obtain a written appraisal of fair market value.</p>
<p>Claiming the Deduction</p>
<p>If you itemize your tax return, you can include charitable contributions along with the rest of your deductions on Schedule A of IRS Form 1040.</p>
<p>Limits on Contributions</p>
<p>The IRS imposes a few limits on the amount of contributions you can deduct. Generally, you can deduct cash contributions in full up to 50% of your adjusted gross income, and donations of property up to 30%.</p>
<p><strong><br />
