An independent team of cash flow professionals is in the process of developing a code of ethics for participants in the cash flow industry, Fred Rewey, president of the American Cash Flow Association®, announced today.
“Although our state and regional chapters have a code of ethics that governs relationships between cash flow consultants and their clients, we’ve felt a need to expand that code to include all elements of the cash flow industry and the relationships that exist,” said Rewey.
“We hope the code of ethics will alert consultants and clients to some of the problems that can arise when they encounter scam artists posing as sources of funding, but we also want respectable funding sources to recognize those consultants who have the clients’ best interests at heart,” he added.

| Mortgage Refinancing Expert Oliver Maldonado Recommends the Best Mortgage in America! - Nov 26, 2004 14:44 IST |
|
The best mortgage in America has a low interest rate currently at about 1.95%. “This mortgage isn’t in my opinion the best mortgage in America solely because of the amazingly low rate, but also because of several additional options it has. This incredible mortgage can also be converted into a 15-year mortgage without having to refinance and without having to re-qualify again. It also has an interest only option for additional savings in case your financial situation should change. If you think about it, it’s the equivalent of 3 mortgages wrapped into one. It very well may be the last mortgage you’ll ever need!” say’s Oliver Maldonado.

| Swedish Composer in Finland Turned Back on the Eurovision Contest to Become Nordic Radio Success - Nov 26, 2004 14:36 IST |
|
The single “En sista vers” (A Final Verse) released by prize-nominated author and composer Gunnar K. A. Njålsson earlier this month is starting to receive increasing radio airplay in the Nordic countries, even where the uniquely moving Swedish lyrics are not fully understood. Nordic TV and radio stations began selecting and airing the song barely two weeks after receiving word that it had been radio released. Indeed, Njålsson’s agent, Hans Ånäs, is astonished at the fact that the entire promo stock of the single didn’t even last a week.
“We received requests from as far away as Turkey, Canada, Japan and Brunei and every Nordic country and territory now has a copy! I could never have imagined anything like this!” Ånäs exclaims. When asked what is so attractive about a song in Swedish from Finland, Njalsson’s agent provides a very quick answer: “I’ll use the words of those who’ve heard the song and given us feedback, namely it is a cross between eastern and western music with a very special harmony that for whatever reason everyone seems to understand and relate with. It grows on you after a couple of plays”.
