I believe that having friendships is an important aspect of a teens growing years. Having friends is not as important as choosing

friendships wisely. It requires making good judgement, being perceptive and choosing judiciously. Building good and healthy friendships requires

effort, commitment and honesty. A healthy friendship will constantly be stretching, growing and expanding.

IF YOU RUN WITH THE TURKEYS, YOU

WILL NOT SOAR WITH THE EAGLES.

The development of a true friendship is a great

feeling. There are some friendships that start

well but don’t last for long and there are some

that seem to withstand everything that comes

and end up lasting a long time. True friends

won’t bring you down or do things to get you

into trouble. The friends who will stick with you

through good times and bad times are true

friends. A wise friendship is characterized as a

relationship between two people and is based

on admiration, respect, positivity, courtesy,

openness, empathy and support.

Just as it is important to make effective

decisions about other aspects of your life,

such as your diet, fitness levels, tv programs,

subjects and many more, it is equally important

to make wise decisions with whom you have

friendships with. What does a good friendship

mean to you? How do you differentiate and

decide on whom to further friendships with?

There are many ancient spiritual teachings

that educate us to choose our company,

for it with will define who we become. We

are characterized by the company we keep.

Bad company potentially corrupts good

habits and values. Therefore the company

we keep both reflects and shapes the kind

of people we become. Despite what we may

think of ourselves, we are influenced by the

environment we live in and the people we

associate with. So if you want to be more

hardworking and studious, choose a friend

who is hardworking and studious. There is a

common saying; “If you run with the turkeys,

you will not soar with the eagles.” Therefore,

make wise choices starting today!

1 Choose friends who share or reflect similar values with

you including positive family values. Friends mirror each other. Therefore choose friends who do not have destructive habits.

2 Avoid peer pressure. Good judgement takes place in a

stress-free mental space.

3 Be determined to be your own person and choose

friends that respect you for that.

4 Find friends with some similar interests. It would

be helpful if you had some things in common. Do also choose friends with diverse positive qualities that will lead

you to positive growth, who will help you to discover new ways of doing things and help you to overcome challenges in a constructive manner.

5 Recognize the differences in healthy and unhealthy

friends and decide which friends you want to stay connected with.

6 Define and know what you want in a friend. Seek

out those qualities. You will

appreciate these friendships when you are clear about the important aspects that provide the pillars for a wise friendship.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN CHOOSING YOUR FRIENDSHIPS.

1 Fashion will never leave you if you gain weight. Where

your boyfriend might run a mile at the slight glimpse of an extra roll, fashion can adjust to those changes when he can’t.

2 You can always find an outfit or accessory that will

make you feel gorgeous. Lets face it men can get quite complacent when it comes to making you feel good and nothing can make you feel quite so gorgeous as that LBD.

3 An outfit will not get jealous if you choose another one! So you decide to go for the

pencil skirt rather than the maxi- big deal! Though it has quite the opposite effect when you choose your boyfriends best mate over him..

4 If you grow bored of a pair of shoes, you can upgrade and its safe to say that its

quite another story when it comes to ditching your man for a newer, younger and more attractive model..

5 Fashion can keep you entertained for hours on end. We have all these magazines,

articles, and websites and programmes dedicated and aimed at those fashionistas of the globe. Whilst you can sit and watch Gok at work for almost hours, watching a game of football with the boyfriend doesn’t have the same effect.

6 You don’t have to be the prettiest girl n the shop to have the prettiest arm andy!

We all know dating can be a brutal

game that prides itself on the motto, ‘every woman for herself ’. No wonder that we women can find solitude in shopping. You can walk into a shop and choose the most beautiful handbag- job done. With a man it isn’t quite as simple.

“An outfit willnot get jealousif you chooseanother one!”

No ways, if you are not that work out or exercise freak, its fine, not every person loves working out, and there is end number of ways that allows you to lose weight without exercising, here’s a small list of things you got to keep in mind and then you will be on a roll

Switch a Big Boy Burger with Bye Bye Burger: This is self explanatory that you have to stay away from junk food as much as you can, remember, in order to lose weight; you have to eat real food. No one in this world can force you to leave it forever, but there are people who can aware you about its reality, the choice is yours. So, if you need to lose weight, ensure that those tempting French fries, yummy chocolates and pizzas are considered as an invisible object by you.

A Beer should not be bearded anymore: This simply means that you need to cut down on all the liquids that possesses a lot of calories, for instance, a beer; it encompasses huge number of calories. Instead, drink fat free juices and ensure that there is a lot of water intake by you. The more water gets in your body, the more fatty acids gets out of it.

Cut Your Food Intake: Cutting food intake does not mean that you should stop eating, no, not at all and you should never do this. All you have to ensure is that the amounts of calories you are taking in, are sufficient for you, overeating exceeds the amount of calorie intake and hence result in obesity or increases weight.

Goodbye Night Meals: Saying goodbye to night meals means that you are not going to eat at late nights, say just couple of minutes before you sleep. Your last meal of the day should be 2 hours before your time of going to bed.

god look at me, I look so fat, ewwww.”

It gets its name because it was the first monument seen by visitors arriving by boat in days gone by. the Gateway steps lead down to the waterfront, where one may choose a boat ride to elephanta Island. It is made in Indo-saracenic architectural style elements, derived from the Muslim architectural styles of 16th century.

Beaches Juhu beach is located in the central suburbs of Mumbai. Dawn and dusk are the perfect times to visit it where splendid views of Mother nature are on full display. there are ferry rides, horseback rides, merry go rides for children, local street food such as bhel puri, chat, shevpuri, pav bhaji and stalls. Many Bollywood movies have been shot here and if you

A stroll down Marine Drive is possibly the best way to discover Mumbai. It is also one of Mumbai’s busiest roads. the Chowpatty Beach is situated at the northern end of Marine Drive in south Mumbai. During the day, you can rest under the shade of small trees and as evening dawns get transformed into the world of people, balloon sellers, ferry rides and food kiosks.

Crawford Market is a colourful indoor market. It’s a blend of Flemish and norman architecture with a bass relief depicting Indian peasants in wheat fields just above the main entrance. the frieze was designed by Lockyard Kipling, father of the famous Rudyard Kipling. Across the road stands the Kiplings’ cottage. the market reminds one of Victorian London, with its sweet smell of hay. It was formerly the city’s wholesale produce market.

next up are the bazaars of Kalbadevi, north of Crawford Market. the narrow lanes of this area are flooded in by laundry-draped chawls, and people power brings Mumbai’s traffic to a standstill. It is a different world to the space, orderliness and modernity of south Mumbai.

Religious Magnificence If you want a taste of religion with a touch of breathtaking view, there are two places in Mumbai to go to. First is the Jain temple on Ridge Road, Malabar Hill where the opulent architecture is sure to leave you speechless. It is breathtakingly adorned from the interior with intricate carvings and frescoes on the walls.

the Haji Ali Mosque is another such marvel where the rocks exposed at low tide behind the mosque are a favourite spot to catch sea breezes. situated on an islet near the coast of Worli Mumbai, it is a masjid and dargah, popular with people of all faiths. More than anything, go for the view of sheer splendour and aura.

Other attractions worth seeing Flora Fountain: a stone fountain situated in the Fort Business district in south Mumbai made completely of imported Portland stone.

the Bhau Daji Lad museum: Initially names as Victoria and Albert Museum, it is situated on Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road. It is the oldest museum in the city.Fashion street: Housing more than 140 clothes store, it is ‘the’ place to go for, you guessed it right, fashion. It is located on MG Road. Fort: If you want to see the european roots of the city, go here. It is the established commercial centre of Mumbai, among them the Bombay stock exchange on Dalal street.

Malabar Hill: the Hanging Gardens (or Ferozeshah Mehta Gardens) on top of the hill, offer a panoramic view of Bombay over the Arabian sea - the bay, the colorful Chowpatty Beach immediately below, and the imposing buildings of nariman Point reaching for the sky. the “the Queen’s necklace” at night is a beauty to behold.

Prince Charles Museum: this museum, built in the Indo-saracenic style of architecture to honour king George V’s visit to India has three main sections: Art , Archealogy , & natural History. It has a fine collection of Chinese Jade pieces, oil paintings & miniature paintings.

Film City: Film city is where you will find stars, stars and more stars in absolutely broad daylight. It is closed to visitors, but special permissions can always be obtained to check out the action.

Getting there there are many airlines flying to Mumbai, so getting a flight on any day of the week is no hassle. emirates, Gulf Air, Jet Airways, oman Air (starting from an economical £360 return trip) are just a few of the airlines to choose from.

Where to eat the road side snacks aside, there are plenty of high- end to affordable places to eat in Mumbai. Go to Khyber for Punjabi and north Indian dishes amongst Afghan-inspired interiors. the food is some of the best the city has to offer. the other north Indian restaurant is the Gaylord and for Mughlai treat go to Delhi Durbar. sWAtI and soam are two restaurants in south Bombay which offer delicious Vegetarian food. For sea food try the trishna in Colaba.

Where to stay Near the Airport For the ardent traveller, looking for a place to stay near the airport or Central Mumbai is a good option. near to the airport are AB executive Apartments and the emerald. sahara Hotel and ItC Maratha are some other comfortable hotels. Colaba Here you will find all ranges to suit your mood and budget. In the five-star category, there is the oberoi, taj President and the historic taj Mahal Hotel. A short way across the city centre is Marine Drive that has Marine Plaza, the oberoi and InterContinental. Many budget and low-range hotels and lodges have opened shop behind the taj Hotel.

Juhu Juhu boasts a string of flashy four and five star hotels. In the expensive range is JW Marriott and the Leela, whereas the more affordable ones are the beach facing tulip star and Holiday Inn. For those on a budget there is sea Princess, Ramada Palm Grove and sun-n-sand, which are packed during the entire year. there are some more cheaper options behind the beach area.

It has been announced that the fee for each Australian temp orary work ‘457’ visa will rise from AUs$455 to AUs$900 from 1st July 2013. the announcement was made by the Australian treasurer (as the Finance Minister is called in Australia), Wayne swan as part of his 2013 budget. the change is expected to raise nearly $200m in revenue for the government over the next four years.

Mr swan delivered his budget on tuesday 14th May 2013. He said that Australia faced tough times and austerity because of a AUs$17bn hole in the country’s finances. the Australian government announced in March that, over the same four year period, it would give $3.4m to the Australian Fair Work ombudsman to ensure that Australian employers do not abuse the 457 visa system.

Duncan Fraser, president of the Australian national Farmers Federation has said that the increase is likely to make it harder for Australian agriculture to get the skilled labour it needs. He told the Australian broadcaster ABC that the change would make it difficult to ‘get skills out to country areas where we can’t source those skills locally’.

Higher fees may be ‘a disincentive to employers’He said that the higher fees were likely to be a ‘disincentive for employers’ and said that it was ‘a concern’.

It is likely that other employers’ associations will also criticise the move though the Migration Council of Australia, an organisation which works to ‘enhance the productive benefits of Australia’s migration and humanitarian programs’, had called for an increase in the fees.

the temporary Work (skilled) – standard Business sponsorship (subclass 457) visa, better known as the 457 visa, is the main visa for skilled workers to work in Australia on a temporary basis. It enables Australian firms to employ overseas workers to work in occupations which are on Australia’s Consolidated shortage occupation List (CsoL).

In order to allow a foreign worker to apply for a 457 visa, the Australian employer will first need to apply to sponsor the overseas worker and then nominate the overseas national. the worker will then apply for a 457 visa. 457 visas allow foreign workers to stay and work in Australia for up to four years.

Australian government claims ‘rorting’ is widespread’In February both Mr o’Connor and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard claimed that there had been widespread abuse (or ‘rorting’) of the 457 visa system. they said that the 457 visa was being abused by unscrupulous employers to employ low-wage foreign workers at the expense of Australian workers who remained unemployed. Mrs Gillard promised to ‘put Aussie workers first’.

Mr o’Connor claimed on Australian tV in March that about 10% of all 457 visas were obtained by rorting though he later had to admit that this claim had been ‘a forecast’ and was not supported by any evidence. Mr o’Connor said that 107,000 457 visas were issued in 2012.

the Australian opposition claims that Mrs Gillard’s Australian Labor Party government is whipping up hostility to the 457 visa in an attempt to attract votes in the Australian general election which is to be held in september.

Well it is fast approaching that time of year again, but don’t despair it is not too late to maximise your tax, we asked our tax accountants to come up with 10 tips to maximise your refund this year!

We hope this helps, over the long term being smart about

your taxes can make a huge difference;

don’t pay tax to the government if you

don’t need to!

1. Keep track of business car use,

(preferably using your diary or a

log book) some many people say they

don’t use their car for work and yet

when quizzed make trips to the bank,

office works, picking up interstate staff

from the airport, attending seminars

and work functions etc. These small

and sometimes infrequent trips can

easily add up to several hundred

dollars of tax deductions, especially if

you keep track of them properly.

2. Have a filing system (even if it is

the proverbial shoe box) for your

work related receipts, things like note

pads, pens, home office equipment,

postage and income cases even

magazine subscriptions are tax

deductible. Also compulsory or

protective clothing. Again many small

receipts when kept quickly add up.

3. Structure your investments to

maximise their tax effectiveness

and invest in tax effective assets to

begin with, if you think your tax bill

will be high this year or you want to

really maximise your refund there are

a range of investment strategies to

achieve this like pre-paying the next

12 months interest on your investment

loans(s).

4. If you want to study for work and

your boss thinks it is a good idea

get them to write a letter supporting

your study, the ATO is getting stricter

and stricter on work related education

deductions.

5. Keep all of your medical receipts;

did you know that if you spend

over $1500 on medical expenses in

a year the ATO will give you 20% of

the excess back? It is amazing how

many people do not even know this

rule exists.

6. Keep track of home office use,

just like you car it is amazing how

much time we all spend working these

days including checking e-mails and

doing research after hours and on the

weekends, if possible keep a diary of

your home office use.

7. Salary sacrifice into your super,

super is a tax effective vehicle

and by paying your salary into it with

pre-tax dollars you are saving yourself

tax and boosting your super balance.

8. Start investing in tax advantaged

investments, you can start by

using our online tools to do a budget

and see how much money you have

available to invest, then look at the

many tax advantaged investments

and investment strategies available.

Ask yourself would you rather

invest your money or pay it to the

government?

9. Keep track of all work related

events and functions during the

year, there are often deductions

related to these events even if the

events themselves are actually free.

10. Lastly if you are still worried

about your tax bill or would

like some personal advice book in to

see one of our tax advisers, contact
