New On-Line Resource Set To Assist Australian Small Business Owners
The rate of increase in the number of Australian business owners is on the increase. This is in spite of poor business education at schools which verges at times to hostility by our educators. So now the need for practical advice from other successful business owners has never been greater. For this reason, The Australian Small Business Blog has been created by Dr Greg Chapman.
The most recent ABS statistics show that there are now more business owners than there are union members in the private sector. And the number of businesses are growing at 2.5% per annum across Australia. But the business education received by our budding entrepreneurs from schools and other educational institutions is second rate. And at secondary level, particularly in our public schools, there is very much an anti-business culture. While this is less apparent in our higher education institutions, many of the educators have very little practical business experience themselves.

Historic Concannon Vineyard Celebrates 125th Birthday with $30 Million Makeover
The 159th annual Blessing of the Grapes in Livermore Valley was held this morning at Concannon Vineyard in conjunction with their 125th consecutive harvest celebration. Third and fourth generation family members Jim and John Concannon cut a grapevine to officially inaugurate the new Concannon winemaking facility.
Jim and John Concannon, the 3rd and 4th generation
As part of a $30 million renovation, Concannon Vineyard recently purchased a new 21st century European-built basket press. Ironically, it works the same way as the winery's original 19th century European-built basket press. After abandoning the original, for more "modern" methods several decades ago, Concannon is returning to its celebrated past. As it turns 125 years old, Concannon Vineyard is reclaiming its heritage as one of California's earliest and longest continuously operating wineries while it invests for the next 125 years and continues the Concannon family's involvement.

Why will one pay for litigation strategies. This is what we asked Mr. Gil Levy, head of litigation strategies department at www.DoIpProSe.com that offers this kind of services for a fee. And here is our interview with Mr. Levy
Q: what is strategy litigation
A; This is the art to compose a team and a strategic plan to win a case.
Q: I thought that this is included in the job of an attorney
A: No, an attorney deals with tactics of litigation, and most of the important chores for a strategist are to chose and pick an attorney that fits to the case. The picking of an attorney should not be left to the client, because this is a crucial issue in litigation and not every lawyer can fit every case. The strategist deals with the politics in the courtroom, which decides the fate of the case more than the facts and the law.
Q: What do you offer clients
A: We offer them a backup system and consultations that help them pick a winning attorney. If they do not win they do not pay attorney fees, this is how strong we believe in our services.
Q: Whom do you accept for a client.
A: we accept cases in the range of half a million dollars and up subject to our discretion.
Q: What is the difference between you and an attorney who offer services for a contingency fee
A; we win more cases, and with larger awards.
Q; And why is this
A: Because we utilize the best strategies, and the best lawyers in the best venues.
Q; Do you offer your service all over USA
Yes
Q: What is your opinion on the US legal system
A: It is a bad system, but we help our clients to experience the best system in the world.
Q: What is your referral fee
A: It depends on the case, the bigger the case the lower the referral fees.
Q: How much experience do you have in this business
A; I myself am in this business three years but we have people working with us with decades of experience in this kind of business, with a proven record of success in litigation.
Good luck to you and your clients.
