This month of the year is surely the worst time for Gerry Ryan. He once used to be the chief of the Australian cycling board and used to manage the board pretty well before the problems stared. Lance Armstrong was running on a great run and the Australian cycle gained his fame and money but times changed and it was that time when Armstrong was caught in the case of doping the Australian cycle started to lose its fame. The problems started for the board as several players came out retiring for the fear of getting caught by the anti-doping squad. Two of the Australian racers came out admitting that they had doped in life and hence the picture of Australian cycling got worsen. As this crisis was not enough the Australian board also faced the problems of finances.
All this problems made life difficult for the president Ryan. He was finding it difficult for making sure that the board ran through good governance as the financial crisis continued for the board. This led to a financial crisis and thus the members of the board had to leave their post in order to stop all the problems. Ryan recently ended his woes by leaving the post of president of cycling of Australia. He made way for Malcom Speed to ensure the financial crisis can be overcome. Leaving out the office he stated that if it would have been a business then it would have been closed by now. It is a sport which is represented by the country and hence it has gained some funding that would help them revive from the tough situation. Not only had this he also stepped down from the CEO position of his pro-cycling team. Currently he will be helping the team find out a new CEO for the team.Read More →

Adam Hansen is two day short of finishing his tenth Grand Slam consecutively. He still has the presence of mind for stage 19 at the Galicia of Vuelta a Espania. Michael Mathews and John Degenkolb reached the Alto Monte Faro with the final combat between the sprinters of Vuelta.
Hansen attempted to try his fortune at Cangas de Morrazo. He continued with acceleration. His effort was appreciated and it did not go waste though the lead which he got for himself was not enough for the riders to be able to lag behind him. The chase showed disagreement. Warren Barguil in the finale showed his contribution by the setting of pace.
He however, had the advantage by the impasse which went on. With seven second remaining he doubled it. So it was not just his wit by which he triumphed. There were other factors which contributed to his success. He chased the peloton by freewheeling just by five seconds. After the offence which he made he smiled and it further widened when a reporter questioned inquisitively whether the win was a surprise or hard work. He struggled and he reached it and made it before through his hard work and it was his day. He was alone but that did not deter his confidence in any way.
The manager of Froome pointed out it is sport and anything is possible in bike race. He did not seemed much surprised by the fanfare at all. However it was not the podium which they settled for according to Brailsford. Contador however, stood on the brink of victory. The advantage which he has received is useful. The race is yet not over for many as they strive to push their limits to uneven boundaries. It is this spirit which makes the riders long for more.Read More →
Britain's young rider Adam Blythe has delivered a dramatic and perfectly-timed sprint that led to a surprise triumph for him in the wet RideLondon-Surrey Classic riding race yesterday.
A breakaway team of 5 were together foraying into last lap of a few 100 m of the two hundred kilometer course on Mall but it was the 24-year-old lad of NFTO squad who blasted out right from back, getting tremors for his favored contenders.
The bright young rider was powerful enough to lead over fellow Brit Ben Swift from Team Sky & Omega Pharma's Julian Alaphilippe.
It was quite a tough fight for all the riders courtesy the torrential shower which left the disturbing poodles all across the course causing extreme situation for the contenders at RideLondon-Surrey Classic 2014. A good lot of riders could not stay upright during initial stages due to treacherous conditions & the situation got even harder thanks to constricted country lanes.
Interestingly, the route was used for 2012 London Olympics.
But once the route dried out, the spectators experienced an eleven-man breakaway which included the 2012 world road-racing champ Philippe Gilbert.
It was cut to 5 to set a fantastic finale as chief peloton, including the 2012 Tour France hero Sir Brad Wiggins failed to pull breakaway squad back.
The championship concluded with a remarkable weekend of riding, in capital city that earlier that day featured around 24 thousand novice riders managing a sportive on same course post freecycle event on Saturday where 55 thousand cyclists relished ten miles of traffic-less roads in city centre.
On the other hand, in top notch women Grand Prix tournament last Saturday Giorgia Bronzini of Italy beat top favorite & 2012 Olympic road-racing champ Vos (Marianne) in the last few metres.Read More →

Watch McClatchy High girls basketball coach's dance moves designed to motivate team
Go, coach, go! Watch McClatchy High girls basketball coach's dance moves to motivate team
Jeff Ota jokes that he can't dance much any more at his age, but this is not true. Film does not lie.
In a new video, the McClatchy High School girls basketball coach, wearing a No. 5 school jersey, goes old school to motivate his powerhouse program, unleashing this hilarious sing-song bit on the eve of the CIF Northern California Regional playoffs.
McClatchy girls' winning tradition passed from one generation to next
The Lions need five victories to be crowned as CIF State Division I champions for the second time in three seasons. They have four wins and head to Golden 1 Arena on Friday night for the fifth win effort, against Windward of Los Angeles at 6 p.m.
Ota is in his first season as McClatchy's head coach, but he's not new to the scene. He was a longtime assistant with the girls and a longtime head coach with the boys program. Ota was a star player at McClatchy in the 1970s, a guard who dropped in 46 points in games, or set up teammates to carry the load in others.
And is there a coach anywhere who was brave enough to pull off this dance bit?

Past Success
During the fall, a Reach the Children representative was in the process of setting up a demonstration farm that would teach local farmers the benefits of irrigation and the merit of planting high value crops. He had to temporarily return to the U.S. before finishing his demonstration. When he returned in January, he discovered that one adventurous African farmer had already decided to take the ideas and run. The farmer said he didn't need to wait for a complete demonstration.
The farmer lived in Eastern Kenya where the AIDS pandemic is especially severe and the orphan population is extremely high. In order to get irrigation water, he dug a 28-foot well by hand and installed an inexpensive treadle pump. He grew tomatoes, onions, cabbage and greens, and sold them in the local market. His entrepreneurial success allowed him to support his family plus eight orphans. He also delivered vegetables to a local high school in order to pay the school fees for one of the orphan girls.

Brand Hyderabad' takes a Hit in Indian Unrest
A bank security officer stands close to a poster listing the demands of striking finance workers during a protest in Hyderabad. The city, once a symbol of the new emerging India and home to IT giants such as Google and Microsoft, is mired in protests, threatening its future as an investment-friendly hub.
The city of Hyderabad, once a symbol of the new emerging India and home to IT giants such as Google and Microsoft, is mired in protests, threatening its future as an investment-friendly hub.
Andhra Pradesh, of which Hyderabad is the capital, has been rocked for weeks by violent demonstrations for and against the division of the state into two entities.
The national government first backed the idea under pressure from a hunger strike, then appeared to backpedal, and since then almost daily disruptions by protestors have dented the city's image as a fertile ground for business.
Chief Minister K. Rosaiah told reporters that firms, including metals group Bharat Forge and French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen, had relocated projects or deferred planned investment on account of the turmoil.
"The image of Hyderabad as an investment destination and a hub of information technology, pharmaceuticals and other industries has taken a beating because of the unrest," said Rosaiah.
Hyderabad's star rose during the 1990s and the last decade as India established itself as a global IT hub, offering low-cost services to multinational companies for a fraction of the cost in their domestic markets.
A proposed new state called Telangana would be carved out of Andhra Pradesh's poor tribal belt, a drought-prone region which supporters say has been neglected by the state government for too long.
Hyderabad is located in what would become Telangana, but neither Telangana supporters nor those in the rump of Andhra Pradesh are willing to give up the capital and its spoils.
The 400-year-old city boasts a mix of tall glass buildings amid its many minarets and historic temples, a sign of the software boom which began when U.S. software giants Oracle and Microsoft first planted themselves on Indian soil.
Hyderabad has since attracted several Fortune 500 and Indian companies, including the disgraced outsourcing giant Satyam, once the city's pride.
Bangladesh Economy Turns Around after Slowdown
Bangladesh's economy has made a turn around after the global recession and it is now in a strong position, said Bangladesh central bank chief Atiur Rahman.
Quoting the Bangladesh Bank governor, leading private news agency UNB reported Monday that the country's economy has fought back well.
Speaking at a program in Bangladesh's southeastern port city Chittagong, some 242 km away of capital Dhaka, Rahman said the year 2009 was a bad year for the whole world, but the Bangladesh economy did not bog down due to the right steps taken by the government and it has become vibrant gradually.
A couple of months back, he said, the amount of idle money in banks was 100 billion taka and now it has come down to 30 billion taka.
He said the call money rate had gone up from 1 percent to 14 percent.
The central bank boss said local investment in October last year was 15 percent higher than in the month of January 2009.
Foreign direct investment, he said, has increased by 17 million in the first three months of the current fiscal year 2009-2010 (July 2009-June 2010), which was $111 million higher than the last three months of the last fiscal.
Revenue collection has increased by 14 percent in October than that of the previous year, Rahman said, adding that the remittance inflow has marked a rise by 24.4 percent in the first five months of the current fiscal.
He mentioned that the current foreign exchange reserve is now at the record level of $10.34 billion.
The central bank governor said the monetary policy would be announced after consultation with all stakeholders for a pro-growth economy shortly.
Terror Plans Denied
Detained American Muslims, center, talk to police officer Pakistani police officers as they leave after appear in an anti terrorist court in Sargodha, Pakistan Jan. 4.
Five Americans detained in Pakistan denied Jan. 4 they planned to carry out terrorist attacks, as a court granted police two weeks to prepare terrorism charges against them, their defense lawyer said.
The young Muslim men from the Washington, D.C., area were arrested in early December in the eastern Pakistani city of Sargodha in a case that has spurred fears that Westerners are traveling to Pakistan to join militant groups. Pakistani police have said they plan to seek life sentences for the men under the country's anti-terrorism law.
The men, aged 19 to 25, denied they had ties with al-Qaida or other militant groups during a court appearance in Sargodha, said their attorney, Ameer Abdullah Rokri.
"They told the court that they did not have any plan to carry out any terrorist act inside or outside Pakistan," said Rokri. "They said that they only intended to travel to Afghanistan to help their Muslim brothers who are in trouble, who are bleeding and who are being victimized by Western forces."
Rokri did not say whether the men planned to fight coalition troops in Afghanistan or simply provide humanitarian assistance. But one of the men indicated they had planned to wage holy war.
"We are not terrorists," Ramy Zamzam told The Associated Press as he entered the courtroom. "We are jihadists, and jihad is not terrorism."
The Americans arrived amid tight security. About a dozen police cars escorted the prison van inside the court premises as officers manned the rooftops of surrounding buildings. The men wore handcuffs as they walked into the courthouse for their hearing.
The court remanded the men to prison for 14 days to give police time to prepare their case, said Rokri.
The U.S. is also looking at charging the men — Umar Farooq, Waqar Khan, Ahmed Minni, Aman Hassan Yemer and Ramy Zamzam.
New Family Car
A motorcycle drives past new Maruti cars outside a New Delhi showroom April 30. Maruti Suzuki will create a new segment with the launch of its new family car.
Maruti Suzuki will create a new segment with the launch of its new family car and hopes to maintain sales growth in calendar 2010, managing director and chief executive officer Shinzo Nakanishi said Jan. 5.
The company showcased its new seven-seater family car at the auto show in Delhi earlier in the day.
Nakanishi said despite the pressure of raw material costs, inflation and the rise of the yen against the rupee, the company hopes to maintain its growth in calendar 2010.
"This is not an easy job this year with so many new cars being launched," he said, when asked if Maruti will be able to maintain its 50 percent market share over the next three years.
"We have to make preparations for this," he added.
Promotion Blocked
Nepalese Army soldiers fire shots during a parade in Kathmandu in September, 2009. Nepal's highest court has blocked the promotion of a senior army officer implicated in rights abuses against Maoist rebels.
Nepal's highest court has blocked the promotion of a senior army officer implicated in rights abuses against Maoist rebels during the country's civil war, an official said Jan. 4.
The government announced last month it was appointing Toran Jung Bahadur Singh to the rank of lieutenant general, the second-highest post in the army, despite strong opposition from rights groups and the opposition Maoist party.
But the Supreme Court Jan. 3 ordered Singh's promotion to be halted after a group of Maoist supporters filed a writ saying the move went against the spirit of the 2006 peace agreement ending the decade-long conflict.
"The court . . . ordered the government not to implement its decision," court official Hemanta Rawal told AFP.
"The court has asked the government to be present at the court on January 10 for the hearing of the case."
Singh was in charge of a military camp where 49 Maoists disappeared in 2003 and 2004, during the civil war.
In 2006, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Nepal released a report accusing his battalion of arbitrary detention, torture and disappearance of the former rebels.
Although Singh was not directly involved in the disappearances, the OHCHR held him accountable as he was in charge of the camp. The army has made no comment on the accusations.
At least 16,000 people died in Nepal's decade-long bloody civil war between Maoist rebels and the state, which ended in 2006.
There are allegations of killings and torture on both sides, and rights groups say little has been done to bring justice to victims and their families.
Supporters Injured
At least eight political activists were injured while a police vehicle suffered damages in election violence Jan, 4 in Sri Lanka, police said.
They said that five people were injured in the Colombo suburb of Kiribathgoda in the morning when opposition party activists went house-to-house campaigning in Kiribathgoda.
"We were set upon by a group of government supporters," Varuna Deeptha Rajapakse, an opposition activist, said.
Police said they used tear gas to quell violence when the opposition group hit back at government supporters.
In the central district town of Nawalapitiya another clash occurred between government and opposition groups with three people being hospitalized.
In this case, the government supporters accused opposition groups of storming into an electoral office.
Election monitoring groups said incidents of violence are on the increase leading to the Jan. 26 presidential poll.
Boat Capsizes
At least 19 people are feared drowned after a boat capsized in a river in West Bengal.
Police said that the boat carrying 29 people sank in the Rupnarayan river near the town of Kolaghat Jan. 4.
The passengers were said to be picnickers who hired two fishing boats for a ride on the river.
At least 10 of the picnickers were rescued after local residents reached them in motorized and traditional fishing boats.
Boats in India are often overloaded, which frequently leads to such incidents.
Divers and rescue workers have failed to recover any bodies since the incident.
"We expect all those who fell off the boat to be dead but despite our best efforts since last evening, we have failed to recover anybody from the fast-flowing river," diver Falguni Mondal said.
One of the boats, which could only hold 12 people, capsized when it was caught in a whirlpool on the river, officials say.
Local politician Asit Das blamed the authorities for "inadequate safety measures" at Kolaghat which has become a popular picnic site during the winter months.
"Rupnarayan is a dangerous river, known for very high tides. We cannot allow picnickers pile onto boats unless they are safe enough," he said.
Fatal Cold Wave
Dozens of people have died in a cold wave sweeping through northern India, the country's state broadcaster Doordarshan says.
The majority of deaths have happened in the state of Uttar Pradesh, according to media reports.
Most deaths so far have taken place among the homeless and elderly, and local authorities have been asked to arrange shelter for the vulnerable.
Scores die in India every year, being ill-equipped to deal with extreme cold.
Estimates of the number of dead vary from 25 to 100 but these figures cannot be confirmed at present.
Fog in central Punjab region in neighboring Pakistan has also shut down highways and affected railway and flight schedules.
A number of people have been injured in some minor accidents due to fog Jan. 4 morning.
Heavy fog and a cold wave have disrupted life across northern India with temperatures dropping to zero degree Celsius in several places, including the city of Amritsar in Punjab.
Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh are among the northern states which have been hit by intensely cold weather.
In Uttar Pradesh, scores of homeless people have died after being exposed to the intense cold.
The victims were mostly poor people who were sleeping on the streets or out in the open.
There are few homeless shelters in Indian cities and towns and although the authorities have distributed blankets and firewood, their efforts have been inadequate in the face of the extreme cold.

U.S. court has temporarily barred RIM from using the BBX moniker during DevCon Asia. Basis International who owns the trademark to 'BBx' had previously threatened RIM with legal action. According to Basis International, RIM had refused requests to stop using the moniker at the DevCon conference, which resulted in the company filing for the temporary restraining order.

More reflections on the recent Cleveland Orchestra residency
February 3, 2013
I thought further reflections on the recent Cleveland Orchestra Residency are in order, in that the visitors' three-day stay attracted a host of folks from both the on-campus and off-campus community, proved a major investment on the part of the IU Auditorium in what, for its management, has been an often de-emphasized focus on classical music, and built on a potentially salutary collaborative partnership between the Auditorium and the Jacobs School of Music.
Because I needed to be out of town for part of the residency period and had other conflicts, I regrettably did not get to avail myself of the various master classes, seminars and additional sessions that mingled the pros with students.
Nor, most unfortunately, did I get to hear the Schumann-Mendelssohn chamber concert featuring musicians both from the Cleveland Orchestra and the Jacobs faculty.
But I was happily present for the main event: that Beethoven and Berlioz concert by the whole of the Cleveland Orchestra, with Bloomington's own Joshua Bell as soloist. And I attended two other revelatory events: conductor Franz Welser-Most's rehearsal with his own Clevelanders and his coaching gig with the IU Philharmonic.
The concert itself I commented on in my review for this newspaper. To reiterate: That concert gave us a chance to hear one of the world's most distinguished orchestras performing with a pride of ownership. The reading of Berlioz' "Symphonie Fantastique" was astounding for its crispness of attack and brilliance of tonal splendor; one hears such a performance rarely in a lifetime.
What good fortune for the orchestra and certainly for us also to have had Josh Bell as soloist. His presence not only lifted attendance to the sell-out level, but his artistry in the Beethoven Violin Concerto was consummate.
It contained no showing off, no exhibitionism, just playing of the purest, most intimate and intuitive nature. Again, such an exceptional performance is scarce, a treasure.
The morning of the concert, Maestro Welser-Most rehearsed his talented band of brothers and sisters. And that they seemed to be, a family, siblings united in the kinship of music.
For those two-and-a-half hours, as again at concert time, Welser-Most was the benevolent father. In rehearsal, he offered sage advice and carefully instructed the musicians, beckoning them to remember a fine point here and to try for a new effect there.
During the concert, as had been the case earlier, one sensed purpose and determination to achieve the best possible outcome, but one could even spot smiling faces on stage.
There seemed to be absolutely no tension. How changed that was from previous periods, when the likes of Toscanini, Stokowski, Rodzinski, Klemperer and Reiner were appropriately referred to in a book title of the period as "Dictators of the Baton."
In the Cleveland/Welser-Most relationship, certainly, the atmosphere engendered was one of affection versus fear.
So, too, when Welser-Most stepped upon the podium the previous day in the Musical Arts Center, it was an affable, sharing pro who faced the ranks of the Jacobs School's most senior of orchestras, the Philharmonic. That two-hour interaction, like most of the Cleveland's rehearsal, was devoted to the Berlioz. Again, the atmosphere appeared to be relaxed versus tense.
There was more teaching and more learning, to be sure. "It's wonderful to be here," the conductor said with a smile, and then: "We start with the Fourth Movement." He let the students play that short section of the symphony, praised the results in a few words, and declared, "It is always important to know what the music is about."
In German-inflected English, the native Austrian proceeded to tell them what the music is about, this as prelude to an extended give-and-take during which one heard differing and repeated pleas and insistences, and the do-it-agains were frequent: "When we start, it would be nice if the trumpets sound more bright," . "The accents have to speak more, have a sharper edge." . "Don't lose momentum." . "Cellos, this is not a march for October Fest. There's fear here." . "Don't forget intensity right from the starting note. And keep it up. Don't become complacent."
Guiding the Philharmonic through the Fourth, then the Fifth, then the Second and Third Movements, Maestro Welser-Most sustained a masterful lesson, sometimes singing a point he was trying to get across, sometimes talking: "This is French music, not German. You know the French national anthem. Like that, make your instruments sing." "When Berlioz wrote that, no one had heard something like it. It was wild. We want it still to be wild.". "Take a risk. This music is about risk." . "Now play like you're really nervous." . "Spit out those eighth notes." . "We have to get these two themes together and make them distinguishable." . "It gets more exciting if you articulate those notes." . "Play with surprise." . "You have a great sound. So, use it."
For two hours, one watched a conductor of professionals teach an orchestra of students, always respectfully, never condescendingly.At the end, from this music director of both the Cleveland Orchestra and the Vienna State Opera, came praise. "See you here again or perhaps in Cleveland or in Vienna." He smiled once more. The orchestra applauded.
One hopes, of course, that a third Cleveland Residency is in the offing here. And who knows whether one or more of those young musicians in the IU Philharmonic will some day sit amidst musicians that Welser-Most conducts in Cleveland or Vienna? For sure, he's got a bunch of IU alums working with him in Cleveland already, including none less than concertmaster William Preucil and principal cellist Mark Kosower.
Whether they'll link up or not, the hundred or so at the Musical Arts Center that afternoon will surely remember the lesson with the smiling, affable and very helpful Franz Welser-Most.
As for me, and a colleague from the School of Journalism who was present, there's another lesson: that from the discipline and seriousness shown by those talented Jacobs School youngsters. Would that hundreds upon hundreds of non-music students at IU had been there to witness such discipline and seriousness! It might have inspired them make more of their own instructional opportunities at IU.
But to wind this up: The musicians from Cleveland brought valuable gifts. May they come again, and soon.

First of its Kind Project Promotes Tourism on the Historic Erie Canal
The New York State Thruway Authority and Canal Corporation today announced the completion of the Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park, an attraction for Erie Canal enthusiasts and upstate tourists interested in the history of the Canal and its impact on the economic and commercial development of both New York and the United States.
As part of Governor Cuomo's "Path Through History" initiative and developed in conjunction with the Canal Society of New York State, the $9.6 million park is the first facility of its kind to offer access directly from the New York State Thruway to a historic site. Visitors can enter the park directly from the eastbound Thruway (I-90) at milepost 308.7 between exits 41 (Waterloo – Clyde – NY Route 414) and 40 (Weedsport - Auburn – NY Route 34), or from NY Route 31 in the Village of Port Byron. Due to the facility's separate entrance points, visitors will not be able to access the Thruway directly from the Route 31 parking lot and vice versa.
"Governor Cuomo is demonstrating again his commitment to fueling tourism and regional economies in Central New York," said Thruway Authority Board of Directors Chair and Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney. "The newly constructed Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park is a result of the collaborative efforts between state and local affiliates and will attract tourists and locals alike to experience the history of the Erie Canal firsthand."
"This project is a shining example of the fostered cooperation we have cultivated between the Thruway Authority and Canal Corporation," saidThruway Authority Acting Executive Director Bill Finch. "The Thruway provides access to historic communities throughout upstate New York for millions of motorists each year, and the new Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park gives visitors a chance to experience the rich history of New York State and the Erie Canal by simply pulling off the Thruway."
The park gives visitors an authentic glimpse into life on the Erie Canal in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. Key historical elements include the enlarged Erie Canal Lock 52 and the Erie House Complex, which dates back to 1895 and includes the Erie House Tavern and Hotel, a mule barn, and blacksmith shop. Guided tours provided by the Canal Society of NY, allow visitors a first-hand experience to the facility's historic structures. The newly constructed Visitor's Center which is operated by the Finger Lakes Regional Tourism Council offers interactive displays and educational materials. For example, a model lock featured in New York State's exhibit at Chicago's Columbian Exposition of 1893 is a centerpiece in the facility.
"The Thruway and Erie Canal have been major economic drivers for New York, both commercially and recreationally, for decades," said New York State Canal Corporation Director Brian U. Stratton. "With the Canal system spurring hundreds of millions of dollars in tourism-based economic activity each year, it's clear that people want to experience its history and this park is the perfect way tell those stories."
"Every day, more and more people are coming to appreciate that New York's culture and heritage is intimately connected to the development of the Canal system," said Canal Society of New York State President Kal Wysokowski. The Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park is the culmination of 20 years of work on behalf of the Canal Society and became a reality because of our strong relationship with the Thruway Authority and Canal Corporation, and we are very proud to now have a place where visitors can reach out and touch history with their hand."
The entire project was completed by New York contractors and in a three phase sequence. Phase one, completed by Cold Springs Inc. of Akron, NY, included site work, installation of ramps and the parking area. Phase two consisted of the rehabilitation and restoration of various structures and was completed by Bouley Associates of Auburn, NY. The project's final phase which involved the construction of the new Visitor's Center with access off the Thruway and Route 31 was completed by Bette & Cring, LLC of Latham, NY.
"The Thruway Authority and Canal Corporation have given travelers the opportunity to glimpse into a dynamic aspect of New York's transportation history and we are very proud to have been a part of it," said President of Bette & Cring Construction Group Peter Bette.
Work completed includes ramps to and from the eastbound New York State Thruway, a parking area, paved trails connecting the parking lot with the historic lock, as well as informational signage. Numerous on-site buildings have been rehabilitated, including the historic Erie House and a newly constructed parking lot accessible from Route 31. Visitors can access historical information at the new Visitor's Center and walk the grounds on the newly connected park trails. Facility hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.
"We are proud to be a part of the opening of the Erie Canal Heritage Park at Port Byron, and excited to welcome in an attraction that promotes and honors the historical significance of the Erie Canal," said Mike Linehan, Board Chair of the Finger Lakes Regional Tourism Council. "This is a great new attraction for the Finger Lakes Region, and the FLRTC is honored to be a part of this project in partnership with the New York Canal Society and the New York State Thruway Authority."
Originally conceived by the Canal Society of New York State, the project has come to life with the support and direction of Governor Cuomo, the New York State Thruway Authority and Canal Corporation.

Fracture Fixation Biology Endowed Professorship
Est. 2005
The Fracture Fixation Biology Endowed Professorship was established in 2005 by Zimmer, Inc., a manufacturer of orthopaedic products.
Established in 2000, the orthopaedic science laboratories in the Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine provide the facilities and environment in which basic science and clinical faulty collaborate to achieve scientific excellence. The lab's work is multi-disciplinary in nature, with a general focus on understanding and treating acute and chronic skeletal pathologies.
Recent advances in understanding fracture repair hold the potential to dramatically alter treatment strategies for trauma care. Initiation of a fracture biology program within the orthopaedic science laboratories would bring together the four current focus groups — applied biomechanics, impact biomechanics, bone biology, and bone regeneration and tissue engineering — each of which touch upon different aspects of fracture biology.
The Fracture Fixation Biology Endowed Professorship enables the recruitment of a junior faculty member with expertise in fracture biology to catalyze the development of this exciting initiative.

On thriving over the holidays.
It's December. Whether you celebrate the solstice, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or if it's just an opportunity for a couple of statutory days off, the next couple of weeks can range from joyful to fraught. Dark, damp and cold; high-degrees of exposure to the people closest - and often most triggering - to us ... or for some, being too far from loved ones; festive food and drink; high-expectations of abundance. Well-intentioned healthy eating can take a hit; exercise habits can be steamrolled; emotions can run high; wallets can grow thin. December is not my favourite month. But I'm constantly seeking meaning, and strategies to thrive and find peace in this darkest time of the year.
Having been raised in the Christian tradition, I am most familiar with typical Christmas traditions. And I have found much significance through exploring their roots and spirit. Bringing nature indoors: celebrating life in the hibernation. Loving the twinkling lights: a symbol shared by many faith traditions at this time of year - being reminded of hope in the darkness, knowing that the days will soon grow long again. Listening to beautiful music and snuggling close; dressing warmly to go outside and revel in the crispness of the air (there's no bad weather ... only inappropriate clothing choices!). Simplifying the commercialism of the season, and sharing with those less fortunate; focusing on giving more than receiving. Taking our time to consider others. Buying local when we buy. Seeking opportunities to volunteer.
Creating boundaries at this time of year strikes me as so important. It can feel like our time and presence is in such demand that we go back to our routine not having felt like we've had a break at all. Building in time - whether at home or away - to do what is rejuvenating. For me, that often means doing some physical activity, reading a book (for pleasure!), and ensuring I get enough sleep. It may mean going for a walk, spending some time in meditation, attending a place of worship, playing a beloved instrument. When boundaries are kindly established, and expectations are clear, it can make it easier for everyone to relax. It's okay to say no (with love). Spend more time doing those activities and with those people that build you up, and less that drain you away.
The delicacies of the holidays can derail any healthy diet. Some simple ways of keeping the impact to a minimum:
1. Eat mindfully - the more we savour and appreciate the sensations in each bite, the less we'll be inclined to eat!
2. Use small plates (and glasses) - we have a tendency to fill empty space! The smaller the space, the less we'll fill it.
3. Consciously intersperse the treats with healthier selections - veggie sticks between servings of meatballs or puff-pastry hors d'oeuvres; sparkling water between glasses of wine; fresh fruit between nibbles of sweet things.
4. Move your body every day - not so you can give yourself "permission" to indulge later, or to work off last night's meal, but to remind yourself of the gift that your body is. Mindful movement helps inspire gratitude, and can prompt kindness towards ourselves.
I'm interested in hearing some of the traditions and strategies you use to make this a meaningful time of year! Please share.
I wish you peace and joy this holiday season.
March 2019

Jim Carrey shows interest in "Mr. Popper's Penguins"24 Jun 2010
By Priya Baboota (Web correspondent)
After a long break from movies, Jim Carrey is busy again looking for some interesting projects to do. He is showing interest to play a leading role in 20th Century Fox's "Mr. Popper's Penguins," based on the beloved 1938 children's book. Mark Waters is also circling to direct it.
The synopsis of the story is - "Mr. Popper" is the tale of a house painter whose dreams of Arctic exploration prompt him to write letters to real explorers. One of them sends him a penguin, which he keeps in an icebox. Soon, Mr. Popper receives a female penguin from a zoo and before he knows it, he has a litter of 12 beaked birds. When the penguins start to eat him out of house and home, Mr. Popper forms Popper's Performing Penguins, a stage act that goes on tour and causes mayhem at every stop.
Other actors eyeing for a role in this movie are Jack Black and Owen Wilson. Lets just keep our fingers crossed and see if Jim Carrey gets this movie or not.

Littelfuse SPA family of TVS diode array devices are designed to protect electronics from very fast and often damaging voltage transients, such as lightning and electrostatic discharge (ESD). They offer an ideal protection solution for analog and digital I/O interfaces for markets including consumer, telecommunications, industrial, medical, computing, etc.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is an electrical transient that poses a serious threat to electronic circuits. The most common cause is friction between two dissimilar materials, causing a buildup of electric charges on their surfaces. Typically, one of the surfaces is the human body, and it is not uncommon for this static charge to reach a potential as high as 15,000 volts. At 6,000 static volts, an ESD event will be painful to a person. Lower voltage discharges may go unnoticed, but can still cause catastrophic damage to electronic components and circuits. These robust diodes can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes at the maximum level (Level 4) specified in the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard, without performance degradation.
• Market leading transient-clamping performance
• Ultra-low capacitance for high-speed data lines
• ESD, IEC61000-4-2, up to ±30kV (contact/air)
• Lightning surge rated up to 150A, 8x20µs
• Discretes and space-saving arrays (up to 14 channels)
• Form factors as small as 0201 (0.6mm x 0.3mm)
Littelfuse TVS diode arrays, provide high level protection against ESDs, Electromagnetic Interferences (EMI), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT) and Lightning, mainly for sensitive digital and analogue input circuits, on data, signal, or control lines operating on power supplies.
SPA's work in two ways, first, they absorb transients with diodes, to steer the current, and then, an avalanching or zener diode, clamps the voltage levels. This prevents the device from exceeding its voltage rating. During over-voltage fault conditions, the device must have a low clamp voltage at the specified current wave form to protect sensitive IC's and ports.
In normal operation, the reverse stand off voltage must be higher than the equipment supply/working voltage, with low leakage current to prevent power supply loading. The device capacitance must be low enough to reduce input signal distortion. The device package must have a small footprint and low height to enable a high density Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout.
The device must withstand multiple ESD/EFT pulses as specified in the IEC 61000-4-2.
Voltage Transients are defined as short duration surges of electrical energy and are the result of the sudden release of energy previously stored or induced by other means, such as heavy inductive loads or lightning. In electrical or electronic circuits, this energy can be released in a predictable manner via controlled switching actions, or randomly induced into a circuit from external sources.
Repeatable transients are frequently caused by the operation of motors, generators, or the switching of reactive circuit components. Random transients, on the other hand, are often caused by Lightning and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Lightning and ESD generally occur unpredictably, and may require elaborate monitoring to be accurately measured, especially if induced at the circuit board level. Numerous electronics standards groups have analyzed transient voltage occurrences using accepted monitoring or testing methods. The key characteristics of several transients are shown in the table below.
Component miniaturization has resulted in increased sensitivity to electrical stresses. Microprocessors for example, have structures and conductive paths which are unable to handle high currents from ESD transients. Such components operate at very low voltages, so voltage disturbances must be controlled to prevent device interruption and latent or catastrophic failures.
Sensitive microprocessors are prevelant today in a wide range of devices. Everything from home appliances, such as dishwashers, to industrial controls and even toys use microprocessors to improve functionality and efficiency.
Most vehicles now also employ multiple electronic systems to control the engine, climate, braking and, in some cases, steering, traction and safety systems.
Many of the sub- or supporting components (such as electric motors or accessories) within appliances and automobiles present transient threats to the entire system.
Careful circuit design should not only factor environmental scenarios but also the potential effects of these related components. Table 2 below shows the vulnerability of various component technologies.

How far will Rose go to keep her promise?
The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir's Academy was the deadliest ever in the school's history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them. . . including Dimitri.
He'd rather die than be one of them, and now Rose must abandon her best friend, Lissa—the one she has sworn to protect no matter what—and keep the promise Dimitri begged her to make long ago. But with everything at stake, how can she possibly destroy the person she loves most?
If there is one thing Rose is good for, it's a promise. And she made Dimitri – her trainer, mentor, and the love of her life – the promise of a lifetime. When Dimitri is taken by enemy Strigoi at the end of the last book, Rose knows that she owes it to him to make good on her promise, no matter how much it will destroy her to do so. After all, he'd do it for her if the situation were reversed. But what would you do to preserve the honor of someone you loved? How far could you go to carry out their last wish? If it meant destroying a part of yourself, would you be able to follow through?
So Rose sets off on a mission from which she knows she may never return. Fighting Strigoi is deadly stuff – especially when that Strigoi has the man of your dreams. He knows your every move, your every weakness. Rose has no idea what exactly happened to Dimitri, but she knows that whatever it is, it can't be good. There is no good anywhere where Strigoi are concerned.
Blood Promise finds Rose in Russia, searching for her once beloved – dead, alive, or turned. Russia is everything Dimitri ever said it was, and then some. Its beautiful, crazy, and feels much more like 'home' than she ever thought possible. When she stumbles upon Dimitri's family, though, she doesn't expect the greeting she's given. Will they welcome her with open arms as she delivers them the worst news possible, or will they cast her away with cold and darkened eyes? I don't know about you, but if a strange girl showed up on my doorstep with the same news that Rose has, I know how I'd react…
Interestingly enough, as Rose travels across Russia, it seems that Vladimir Academy is never too far away. Adrian pays Rose a dreamy visit or two, and Rose can't help but check in on Lissa now and then. It seems that Lissa is a bit lost without Rose and lands herself in all kinds of trouble. Is she woman enough to pull herself together, or will she need her best friend to fix everything once more? My initial feelings towards Lissa were all confirmed three times over in this novel: she's weak, fragile, and freaking annoying! Again, I disliked reading her through Rose's thoughts and I thanked my lucky stars that she wasn't the focalising character.
Meanwhile, back in Russia someone reminds Rose exactly why she came in the first place, and she realises that its time to move on and being her search once more. Just when she thinks she's never going to find what she came looking for, something off-the-charts kind of crazy happens and Rose's world is thrown completely and absolutely freaking upside down. Although I'm not going to disclose exactly what this is, I was supremely thrown by these turns of events. I was very uncomfortable as I read through this section of the narrative, always hoping and praying that what was happening would right itself once more. When I realised that this wasn't going to happen any time soon I became incredibly frustrated. Rose's character takes an entirely new form in Blood Promise, and I can't say that I'm altogether happy with her transformation. She loses her edge, and although I understand that the circumstances are pretty much out of her control, I kept waiting for her to get her groove back together. I'm happy to report that she eventually did, but it took way too long for her to shizzle her way back into the Rose Hathaway we all know and love.
Cryptic much? Well, you're just going to have to read to find out what I'm talking about…
Now I know you're all wanting to know: Is he, or isn't he? I could tell you but I'm feeling particularly evil right now and I think I'll keep that particular spoiler to myself. If you want to find out whether Dimitri is Strigoi, alive, dead, or whatever, then I suggest you run out to your local bookstore as fast as you possibly can and get hold of a copy. I will, however, leave you with this piece of information….
Dimitri DOES make an appearance in this novel. Your questions will be answered and you wont have to wait too long to find out what the hell happened to him. Will you be surprised? Maybe. Maybe not. Depends what you're hoping for!
While Blood Promise is not my favourite Vampire Academy novel to date, I did read this one in a single sitting. Once I started reading I was desperate to find out what happened. I reckon this one has a little bit of everything for everyone: love, lust, hate, anger, sympathy, empathy, envy, desire, action, skill, and the edge that we've all come to expect from the Vampire Academy novels.
I reckon the fans are going to lose it over this one. I can't wait for the discussion to start.
P.S There's a new player in town whom I think we're going to see much more of in the future. While her presence was necessary in Blood Promise, I don't think we were treated to everything she has to offer. Watch this space…


text: From the coaching staff, to the superstar player, and even the new guys, no one is happy in Phoenix these days. Reports the AZ Republic: "Suns coach Alvin Gentry had a long postgame talk with the team that was more encouraging than yelling. He had done plenty of the latter in the previous two days' practices that were spent mostly on defense. Instead, they came out looking as though they had no idea what their coverages were or how to deny the middle whether they were in man or zone. So here are some honest, blunt Suns uncut after Wednesday's loss … Marcin Gortat: 'I came from a team where everybody's competing and trying, doing the stuff that Coach is saying. We just totally are changing our rotations. We're not playing hard enough. I've just got to tell you, there's a lot of work in front of us. The positive thing is it can't be worse' … Steve Nash: 'It's frustrating. We're losing. We're not playing well defensively. We're practicing our defense and we're not carrying over to the game. It's frustrating. We've got to fight through it. We've got to test ourselves, our mental strength, our emotional commitment every day and try to bring it and not let it get to us. When you're playing as we are defensively and you're working at it, I think it's a situation where we just got to dig deeper and really be self-critical and try to do whatever we can to help the team. We've got to be positive and optimistic that we can turn it around.'"

英语中的被动语态使用得比汉语要多,要普遍,许多课本乃至实际应用中都常常涉及到这个问题。一般说来,当强调动作承受者,不必说出执行者或含糊不清的执行者时,多用被动式。须注意的是,许多地方与汉语不同。注意那些汉语中没有"被……"的意思,英语却应该用被动态。还要注意,英语的被动态往往由"by"引出,而有用介词"by"的短语往往又不是被动态,而是系表结构。还有些特殊现象,如:known to man(人类......所知),on foot步行(美国人有时用by foot),in carraige(乘四轮马车)等等。还有假主动,真被动的十几个常用词的用法,以及so heavy to carry而不用so heavy to be carried 等习惯用法。有关这类情况,做到心中有数对全面掌握被动态,准确无误地解答习题非常关键,被动态必须涉及的是动词的各种时态变化的问题。英语的时态本来很复杂,怎样记住各自的被动形式呢? 首先要明确"将来进行无被动,现在完成进行 同"。这两种时态无被动形式。 另外,不及物动词带有同源宾语的动词,反身代词的动词和系动词都无被动形式。即便如此,还有不定式,动名词,分词,以及它们的复合结构)的被动态,再加上情态动词,助动词以及它们的疑问式和否定式从中掺杂,真是令人头痛,眼花缭乱。下面口诀就以动词do为例,即do did过去式done过去分词,以口诀形式总结各种时态的被动态,一定对你有所启示。 被动语态(一般现在时) 主动语态变被动语态时,主动语态句中的宾语变成被动语态句中的主语,主动语态句中的主语成为被动语态句中的动作的发出者。 被动语态的口诀 一般现、过用be +PP(过去分词),be有人称、时、数变。 完成时态have(has) done,被动将been加中间。 一般将来shall (will) do,被动变do为be done。 将来进行无被动,shall (will) be doing, 现在完成进行同,have (has) been doing。 现、过进行be doing, 被动be加being done。 情、助、有、是妥安排,一律随新主语变。 否定助后加not,疑问一助置主前。 主语恰是疑问词,直陈语序主在前。 一般情助加be done,双宾多将间宾变。 复合宾语宾变主,宾补、主补相应变。 第二句"be有人称、时、数变"即be有人称、时态和单、复数的变化。"情助"是指情态动词和助动词must,may,can,shall,will等一律随新主语(多是主动句中的宾语)来变化。"疑问一助置主前"是说有两个助动词的话,应把主语放在第一助动词之后或把第一助动词置于主语之前。下面详细举例说明之。 一般现、过用be done, be有人称、时、数变 例:1、主动:The children gave the foreign guests a warm welcome. 被动:The foreign guests were given a warm welcome by the children. 孩子们热烈地欢迎外宾。 2、主动:People regard him as brilliant. 被动:He is regarded as brilliant by people. 人们认为他很有才华。 以上两例都是一般时态用be done的例子,be有人称、时、数变,第三人称foreign friends是复数,时态一般过去时,所以"be done"就是were given,而People regard him as brilliant一句,被动后的"be done"就变成单数第三人称is regarded的形式了。 被动: This speech was delivered by comrade Wang. (was delivered即一般过去时的被动态) 这篇讲演是王的发言。 There was a serious train accident near the border. Two people were killed and twelve were injured. 边境发生严重列车事故,两人死亡,十二人受伤。 A person who is truly honest is called a straight arrow. 直言不讳的人才是真正诚实的人。 A note was passed up to the speaker. 有人给讲演者递上来一张纸条。 John was elected president of the class instead of Harry. 乔治被选为班长而代替了亨利。 Volcanoes are described as active, dormant or extinct. 火山被描述为活的,沉睡着的,或者死的。 The soldier was killed, but the train was saved. 这位战士牺牲了,然而列车得救了。 He was thought to be clever but dishonest. 他被认为很聪明但不诚实。(别人认为他很聪明但不诚实) The first zoological garden in the United States was established in 1874. 美国的第一个动物园是1874年建立的。 Families were often broken up; wives were taken away from their husbands and children from their parents. 家庭被拆散,妻儿被夺走。 The information is urgently needed. 急需这个资料。 Most environmental problems exist because adequate measures for preventing them were not taken in the past. 多数环境污染问题的存在,是因为过去没有采取适当的保护措施。 完成时态have done,被动将been加中间。 (过去完成时had done也包括在内)。 例:1、主动:We have studied English for 3 years off and on at the spare-time school. 被动:English has been studied for 3 by us years off and on at the spare-time school. (have随新主语变为has) 我们已经在夜校里断断续续地学了三年英语了。 2、主动: They had produced 100 tractors by the end of last year. 被动: 100 tractors had been produced by the end of last year. 到去年年底我们已生产出一百台拖拉机。 3、主动:They have set up a power station in their home town. 被动:A power station has been set up in their home town. 他们的家乡建立了一座发电站。 4、主动:They have warned us to be careful of rats. 被动:We have been warned to be careful of rats. 他们已提醒我们要注意老鼠。 5、主动:People have piled plastic bags full of rubbish in streets. 被动: Plastic bags full of rubbish have been piled in streets. 人们把装满垃圾的塑料袋子堆放在街上。 6、主动:We have used nuclear energy to produce electricity. 被动:Nuclear energy has been used to produce electricity. 核能已用来发电。 7、主动:No one has ever beaten him at tennis. 被动:He has never been beaten at tennis. 就网球来说还没有人是他的对手。 (No one涉及到全否定和部分否定问题,见否定一讲) The person who owns the gun may try to deny that he has used it. But anyone seeing the smoke knows the gun has just been fired. 有枪的人会极力否认他开了枪。但是任何看到枪烟(枪冒的烟)的人都会知道刚才开了枪。 Today is Cilia's wedding day, she has just been married to Danel. 今天是西丽亚的新婚日,她刚刚和丹尼尔结婚。 The subjects of these lectures have been announced by the lecture committee. 演讲委员会已宣布了这些讲演的题目。 过去完成时也是一样: 主动: Somebody had cleaned my shoes. 被动: My shoes had been cleaned by somebody. 有人早已把我的鞋子擦了。 When I returned I found that they had towed (toud) my car away, I asked why they had done this and they told me that id was because I had parked it under a "No Parking Sign". 被动:my car had been towed away. I asked why this had been done and told that ... it had been parked under a "No Parking Sign". 当我回来时,发现我的车被弄走了。我问他们为啥这么于。他们告诉我说因为我把车于停在"禁止停车"的禁区。 主动:They had build three ships by last December. 被动: By last December three ships had been built by them. 到去年年底他们已建造了三艘船。 Research had been centred on the improvement of natural building materials before synthetics were created. 合成材料造出之前,研究工作集中在改进天然建筑材料上。 He did not say if all those steel pipes had been examined. 他并没有说那些钢管都检验过没有。 After plastic had been created, engineers were given a much wide choice of materials. 塑料发明之后,工程师们在材料选择上有了更广阔的途径。 一般将来shall (will) do,被动变do为be done 即由shall do或will do变为shall done或will be done。 例:主动: We shall build several big modern power plants in our city next year. 被动:Several big modern power plants will be built in our city next year. 过年我市将建立几座大型现代化的发电厂。 (shall do中的shall要随新主语变为will, do为be done.) 主动:I shall send my second boy to school next September. 被动:My second boy will be sent to school next September. 过年九月我将送我次子去读书。 主动:In order to fool people cheaps and swindlers will make such bricks out of lead covering the "lead brick" with gold. 被动:Such bricks will be made out of lead covering the "lead brick" with gold by cheaps and swindlers. "铅砖"外面被设法骗钱的商人和骗子们镀上一层金来做这样的"金砖"。 主动:They will ask you a lot of strange questions. 被动: You will be asked a lot of strange questions. 他们将问你许多怪题。 被动句中的by引出的宾语,一般说来,如果是人称代词你、我、他等,均可省略,someone no one不由by来引出。如果是名词不能省略,但当今英语也都可省略了。 主动:The Chinese people will make more space explorations in the future. 被动:More space explorations will be made in the future by the Chinese people. 中国人民在将来将进行更多的空间探索。 同样 After a period of use, the batteries should be changed. 电池使用一段时间后,应该更换。 Usually, the electricity is on for 24 hours.

Independence Day
Independence Day is one of the main holidays in any country and the USA as well. The holiday is annually celebrated on the fourth of July since the declaration of the independence was signed by the founding fathers of the USA on 4 July 1776 year.
Americans celebrate this day by setting off fireworks, visiting concerts and other occasions. Hundreds of peoples annually observe parade in honour of the Independence Day on the main streets of cities. A horse-drawn cart with participants of the parade symbolizes history of Old West exploration. In 1777 celebration of the first anniversary of declaration signing was accompanied by parades and picnics but it`s surely incomparable to the scales of celebration which the holiday gained nowadays. Americans celebrate the occasion even being abroad. One of the compulsory attributes of Independence Day celebration is shooting off fireworks. Many years ago using of fireworks was prohibited because of the risk of fire, however today Independence Day is difficult to imagine without fireworks; before 4 July sales of pyrotechnics is considerably increase.
For majority of people 4 July is a non-working day; if this day falls on Saturday or Sunday, the rest day is carried over to the day following immediately after the holiday. At the dawn of 4 July Americans arrange various activities to pay tribute to all soldiers perished in the war of Independence and great leaders as freedom from British government was achieved thanks to their efforts. Such eminent personalities as George Washington – the first President of the USA, Thomas Jefferson – one of the main authors of the declaration of independence and other founding members of the Continental Congress are particularly revered by Americans as they officially proclaimed 4 June to be Independence Day. A major event – parade of Independence Day is held at midday in Washington. Simultaneously public festivities are organized, Americans hang out the state flag on their homes.
Definite regional peculiarities are also typical for this day. For instance, in city of Seward (Alaska) a hiking trip to reach the summit of the mountain called Mount Marathon is arranged. Since 1818 habitants of the town Lititz (Pennsylvania) make candles during winter: on 4 July a festival of candles is arranged. In Tekumseh (state Nebraska) several hundreds of flags are hung out on the building of the court in honour of natives of the city who served in armed forces of the USA.
Independence Day is considered to be the birthday of the United States as free and independent country. Majority of Americans call this holiday just «Fourth of June».

Buying Life Insurance in Canada
Life insurance is a sensitive topic that not many people are interested in dealing with. It's incredibly important for financial planning. There are many areas of life insurance that Canadians have questions regarding. The most common questions are:
- What is the amount of life insurance that I need?
- If I have children, how much coverage do I need?
- What are the best life insurance companies in Canada?
- What type of life insurance policy is right for me?
What is the amount of life insurance that I need?
When selecting coverage amount for your life insurance policy, it's important to determine the areas that you require protection for your loved ones. Things to consider include:
- Income replacement in the event of your death. How much money does your family require to maintain a comfortable lifestyle?
- Assets that you still owe money on – for example mortgage or car loan.
- Any outstanding debt including line of credit or credit card debt.
- Final expenses – funeral and burial.
Many Canadians choose life insurance under $500,000. It's important to speak with your life insurance company or broker representative to understand your life insurance needs. You may require more coverage if you have children. There are many things to consider for the future, including education.
If I have children, how much coverage do I need?
There are several areas that you will need to calculate when it comes to your children. A recent survey indicated that the overall cost to raise one child until the age of 18 is $244,000. This means that your expenses will be approximately $1,000 per month.
Keep in mind that in the event of your death, your children will require food, clothes, health care (e.g. dental), personal care, education, recreation activities, transportation, housing and child care (depending on the child's age).
What are the best life insurance companies in Canada?
There are a number of life insurance companies in Canada that offer excellent products that meet the needs of Canadians. A few of these companies include:
- Great-West Life
- Sunlife
- Primerica Life Insurance Company
- BMO Insurance
- RBC Insurance
There are also online quoting sites that will provide life insurance quotes, making it easier for you to shop for quotes. Take the time to do your research and select the policy that best suits your needs.
What type of life insurance policy is right for me?
In Canada, there are many types of life insurance offered by insurers. These types cover the needs of Canadians. Here is a description of the types of life insurance in Canada:
Life insurance protection that provides coverage for a specific period of time (typically a 5, 10 or 20-year term); this type of policy does not accumulate any cash value. It simply protects you for the term that you select. It's a cost-effective solution if you're looking for protection for a set term.
This type of insurance combines both life insurance and investment components. Some of your premium amount goes into your account, and is invested at a guaranteed rate of return. It typically costs more to insure this type of policy; but you will be receiving a cash value that can be used towards your premium, or withdrawn as well as taking a loan out against it.
Similar to universal life insurance, a whole life insurance policy has both an insurance component as well as an investment. The insurer decides how the investment is invested and it's also typically more expensive. This policy provides both coverage for your family and yourself (with tax benefits and the ability to withdrawal from your cash value).

With a background in video production, experience in graphic design and marketing, and a passion for storytelling, my goal is to support your agency's creative talent as an Art Direction intern.
While most other children played cards with matching images to improve their memory, I recited advertisements to improve mine. Today, I am just as enamored by advertising as I was at age five. I love that there are so many different ways to tell a story, and advertising teaches us to tailor that story to a specific audience and to tell it in a way that leads the audience to action. No two stories are identical. This aspect of advertising truly inspires me and makes every job exciting.
