It's hard to overlook Telstra Mobile's new BYO plans. Already packed with substantial value, Australia's biggest network now delivers more of what customers want — lots of extra data for free. And with Telstra, the extras are substantial.
While Telstra's SIM-only plans start from $49/month on a 12-month contract, they all include hefty inclusions that more than cover your daily needs — unlimited national talk and text as well as huge data. The two higher-value plans even include unlimited international talk and text to 15 countries and Peace of Mind of Data so you won't be charged if you exceed your data allowance. The best part, however, is Telstra's bonus data – which is as much as 30GB extra!
Telstra BYO
Those who don't need a new phone can count on the fact that Telstra Mobile's BYO plans can cover all of your communication needs — including access to the internet. The amount of data packed in your mobile plan is as important as your text and call allowances — checking your email, browsing the web, and even social media, have now become part and parcel of using your phone. This needs to be reflected in your mobile plan, and it's only fair that you get all you need delivered to you at a fair price.
Telstra Mobile plans with free sport added
Telstra offers full access to live and on-demand games from AFL, AFLW, NRL, Netball and A-League for Telstra mobile customers. Just take a Telstra postpaid (from $55 p/m) or Prepaid ($30 recharge) mobile plan and you're in!
Plans and Bonus Data
There are three BYO plans to choose from, starting with the $49/month plan. It has 15GB included data + 15GB bonus data. That's 30GB per month for the smallest plan, which also includes unlimited national talk and text. For greater inclusions and a $10/month credit, you can sign up to the $69/month plan, now offered at $59/month. It has 30GB included data + 30GB bonus data, delivering a total of 60GB. The highest plan is at $89/month, and gives you 60GB included data + 30GB extra data for a whopping 90GB.
Moreover, both the $59 and $89 plans offer Peace of Mind Data and unlimited international talk and text to 15 countries, including USA, UK, New Zealand, Singapore, China, and Canada, among others. The $89 plan also delivers international roaming, which includes 2GB data roaming and unlimited talk and text to selected destinations. With Peace of Mind data, there's no charge when you exceed your monthly data allowance — instead, your speed will be capped at 1.5Mbps if you go over. If you have the $49 plan, you can add the Peace of Mind Data for $10/month.
Extra Inclusions
Joining Telstra's widespread network and experiencing their solid service first-hand is a decision that doesn't take too long for millions of Australians to make. The exciting add-ons exclusive to Telstra customers also make signing up more worthwhile. This includes a free six-month subscription to Apple Music, data-free live sport such as AFL, NRL, and the Hyundai A-League, and Telstra Air Wi-Fi access.
Companion Plan
If you're an existing Telstra customer signed up to a mobile or internet service who needs an additional SIM-only plan, this one's for you. For only $39/month (if you sign up online), you get 15GB included data + 15GB bonus data, unlimited national talk and text, and Peace of Mind Data. You can add a new number or keep your existing one, it's up to you. Prepaid services, however, are not qualified.

Supreme Metals Corp. Nevada Lithium Property EM Survey Identifies Prospective Conductive Brines at DepthFSCWIRE
Supreme Metals Corp. Nevada Lithium Property EM Survey Identifies Prospective Conductive Brines at Depth
Sudbury, Ontario (FSCwire) – Supreme Metals Corp. (the "Company") (CSE: ABJ)(FSE:A68) is pleased to report that on the Company's Columbus Property which covers approximately 1,920 acres, located within the Columbus salt marsh, near Coaldale, a recent Magnetotelluric EM survey has highlighted new conductive targets on the property.
Geophysical interpretation of a test line undertaken by Zonge geophysical on a small portion of the property revealed a section of significant widespread conductivity with resistivities in the range of 4.5 to – 1.0 Ohm-m over the whole surveyed test line from 100 metres below the surface to a depth of 1,800 metres which was the depth limit of the survey. More resistive values were obtained in the range of 8.3-4.5 Ohm-m within the first 100 metres of depth from the surface.
Higher conductivity indicates greater potential salt and moisture content and associated potential increased lithium brine values.
Critically, this result suggests the continuity of lithium at depth extending the surface expression which previous work identified. Previous work included a total of 24 surface sample assays which were taken using augers and hand equipment to a maximum depth of approximately 2m and showed anomalous lithium values.
Other earlier work had suggested that the principal target at the Columbus project is a large circular gravity-low anomaly, which is interpreted as an infilled basin. The Company's Columbus Property lies along the edge of this interpreted basin. Also, the high conductivity extending to a depth beyond 1,800 metres suggests a dropped down normal fault boundary with the edge of the basin extending further into the Columbus property than the interpreted basin edge. It is also noteworthy here to mention that higher lithium values are not necessarily found within the deepest part of basin areas.
Bob Komarechka noted "The fact that higher conductivity was confirmed at depth raises the potential for higher lithium values than were encountered on the previous surface sampling, validating the Company's exploration target. The Company's Columbus Property is one of 4 Nevada lithium brine properties comprising the Nevada lithium portfolio all of which encompass a total area of 6.520 acres or 2,639 hectares. The Nevada lithium portfolio was carefully chosen and work on the project as well as adjacent projects continues to point to an exciting area for potential lithium deposits, ideally located in proximity to Nevada's Tesla lithium battery gigafactory.
The company is evaluating follow-up steps and work programs to further test and define the targets."

Looking for childcare in Nottingham?0115 8418441
Children develop positive behaviour through having secure relationships and interactions with adults who act as good role models. At Greenfields we believe that it is important to encourage and praise positive and caring behaviour at all times and provide an environment where children learn to respect themselves and others.
When managing children's behaviour, Greenfields staff aim to work in partnership with parents and other carers in order to take into account their wishes and aspirations for their children. Staff will aim to involve parents/carers in decisions made about their children and to develop positive strategies to encourage children's development and appropriate behaviour. Children naturally explore and learn in a physical and enthusiastic manner we aim to encourage this in a positive and non-restrictive way which values and nurtures children's individual personalities.
The named person/people for managing behaviour are the managers and SENCOs in each setting. They will work in partnership to support and advise the team leaders and key workers. Their role involves:
Each age group has their own behaviour management strategies for staff and parents to use when supporting their child.
Time out will never be used as a punishment for unacceptable behaviour in the nursery. It may be necessary however to remove a child from a situation in order to give them the opportunity to regain control over their emotions and calm down. Staff should consider what kind of environment will help a child to relax and calm down. If the child is in an environment that feels like a punishment it is likely to cause a secondary reaction. This method should however be used as a way of supporting that child's emotional needs away from the situation that has caused them to lose control.
Physical intervention should only be used as a last resort to prevent a child from causing significant harm to themselves or others. If a child's behaviour has become unmanageable without the use of physical interventions the risk assessment should be used and adjusted if necessary. This should be discussed and shared with all staff involved and the parents/carers. Any interventions used should be recorded on an incident form and shared with parents/carers.
Before reaching this stage, staff will have used all possible non-physical actions, such as dialogue and diversion. The child or children concerned will be warned verbally that physical intervention will be used if they do not stop. Staff will make every effort to avoid the use of physical interventions if they are alone with the child or children.
Only the minimum force necessary to prevent injury or damage should be applied. Staff will use physical intervention as an act of care and control and never punishment. Physical interventions will not be used purely to force a child to do what they have been told and when there is no immediate risk to people or property. As soon as it is safe, the physical intervention should be gradually relaxed to allow the child or children to regain self-control. The force of the physical intervention will always be appropriate to the age, size and strength of the child or children involved. If staff are not confident about their ability to contain a particular situation or type of behaviour, consideration will be given to calling a member of the management team. Where a member of staff has had to intervene physically to restrain a child, the Manager will be notified and the incident recorded on an Incident form. The incident record will be shared with the parent at the earliest possible opportunity.
The child should not be pulled or held down and adults should not use their body weight to restrain a child. It is safest to restrain a child from behind and put your arms around their body. You should explain to the child as much as you can what you are doing and remain calm in order to begin to calm them.
Bullying is the intentional behaviour towards another to cause physical or emotional harm. It is usually premeditated and is repeated behaviour. Bullying can be delivered in many forms (see bullying policy for descriptions of different kinds of bullying and Greenfields procedure).
When referring to bullying the age and stage of the people involved should be considered. As bullying is defined as being intentional and premeditated in a persistent manner to cause harm the level of understanding of all parties involved should be considered. A child under 5 years old is unlikely to have yet developed the ability to understand how their actions will affect others and at this age are more concerned with how they feel. Their actions are often as a result of their ability to control their own behaviour, their own emotional well-being and their social development.
At Greenfields we do not see any kind of bullying as acceptable from or towards children, staff, parents or any other service users.
Biting is a natural development stage that many children will go through. It is usually temporary and is most common between 12 and 24 months of age.
Children may also bite at other stages of their development, this may occur for many different reasons. Reasons why children may bite include: Exploration, teething, cause and effect, attention, imitation, independence, frustration and stress.
Childcare staff will consider the circumstances when supporting children who bite or who have been bitten.
If a member of staff observes a biting incidence the following steps will then be taken:
The biting will be stopped immediately whenever possible. The staff will stay calm and will not overreact.
The child who has been bitten will be comforted and inspected for any injury which will be assessed. Any unbroken skin injury will be treated with a cold compress to alleviate any swelling. If the child has a broken skin injury, wet sterile gauze will be applied to clean the wound and stop the bleeding. Then a suitable dry dressing such as a plaster will be used to cover the wound. An accident/incident form will be completed and shared with parents/carers.
The biting child will be removed from the situation by a member of staff and told that they should not have done that and a brief explanation given e.g 'we mustn't bite because it hurts'. The biting child will be closely observed to prevent it happening again throughout the session.
The parents of both children will be notified of the biting incident when they collect their child from the nursery. Confidentiality of the children involved will be maintained.
If a child bites on more than one occasion the room leader and key person will approach the child's parents/carers and inform them of the situation. The child's key person will then work in partnership with the parents/carers, to identify why the child is biting, by observing, recording and assessing incidents. It may be necessary to seek outside advice and support from sources such as health visitor.
Within the nursery routine, staff must be consistent in providing a stimulating environment and activities which help reduce the number of biting incidents that can occur, especially within the toddler rooms. We provide access to teething toys; numerous sensory exploration activities; opportunities to explore cause and effect and we offer toddlers options and alternatives to reduce frustrations.
We recognise how upset parents/carers may be when they learn their child has been bitten. However, we also recognise that biting is a normal part of child development. Despite our many concerted efforts to prevent biting incidents, they may still occur.
In extreme circumstances, and where all other strategies have been explored, Greenfields reserves the right to ask parents/carers to remove their child from the nursery if we believe that their remaining in the setting is placing other children and staff at risk.

Can very young children be saved?
Howard Coles, Coleford, England
Can very young children be saved?
Christian parents often wonder whether their young children can be genuinely saved. Many would possibly judge that a young child is too immature to understand the complexity of God's plan of salvation. Sometimes parents might also wonder whether a child has made a profession out of their desire to please rather than because of genuine conviction and conversion.
The Lord Jesus welcomed young children with open arms during His time here and blessed them. 'Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven', Matt. 19. 14. Some of these children may have been too young to understand, but it is clear that faith can be exercised even from an early age, as the Lord appears to hold out that possibility in His statement, 'Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein', Luke 18. 17. The Greek word used for 'children' in Matt 19. 14 is the word used of those who were very young and the same word is used in 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 15 where Paul tells Timothy that 'from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus'.
Obviously, a child has to reach an age where he can understand the basics of the gospel. Since children are susceptible to pressure from parents, care must be taken to ensure that the decisions are truly their own. They can make a confession of faith merely to please a parent or friend. This could happen without genuine repentance over sin or personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Once a child realizes that he is a sinner and responds to that sinfulness by repentance and faith in Christ, he can and will be saved, regardless of age. We must not be guilty of the misjudgement of the disciples, who probably wrongly assumed that the children could not understand, for which the Lord rebuked them, Matt. 19. 14.
The first gospel appeal of the church age emphasized that the salvation message could include children, for Peter said, 'For the promise is unto you, and to your children', Acts 2. 39. The promise Peter spoke of was of God's salvation to all who recognized Christ as the Son of God and accepted Him, Acts 2. 22-42.
The Lord spoke to adults and held out to them the example of implicit and innocent trust of which children are capable. He said, 'Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven', Matt. 18. 3. By this is illustrated the fact that it is invariably easier for a child to perceive and receive spiritual truth than an adult.
Children in Christian homes usually accept Christ earlier in life than children from non-Christian homes, the reason being obvious, that the Christian family has the Bible at its centre and the children are taught its truths from their earliest days. Since 'faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God', Rom. 10. 17, one would expect those who are taught from the word to respond sooner than those who seldom or never hear it. For this reason, God gives many instructions to parents to take personal responsibility for their children's spiritual education. Did not Paul note that Timothy first heard of the ways of God at the feet of his mother and grandmother? See 2 Tim. 1. 5; 3. 15.
The Lord can call and save children. He called Samuel at such an early age that even Eli, the High Priest, did not think it possible at first that Samuel could hear and discern the voice of the Lord. But it was Eli's hearing that was dull and imperceptive not Samuel's! 1 Sam. 3.
Let us never forget that God's plan of salvation is so simple that children can understand and accept it and many parents have witnessed this by seeing their children come to the Lord at a very early age.Let us make sure that if we have young children they hear the gospel from as early an age as possible and that equally importantly, they see it lived out practically in the home.

Its easy to forget that practically the WHOLE WORLD has access to content you post online, but its a fact. This is the case even after deleting old photos or embarrassing pics that we don't want on the internet. CNN has conducted a thorough investigation and found that not only are some "deleted" photos still online, they often remain accessible for YEARS…
The company (Facebook) admitted on Friday that its older systems for storing uploaded content "did not always delete images from content delivery networks in a reasonable period of time even though they were immediately removed from the site," but said it's currently finishing up a newer system that makes the process much quicker. In the meantime, photos that users thought they "deleted" from the social network months or even years ago remain accessible via direct link.
The problem: "deleted" photos never go away

OK, this is going to be a bit of a stinker, so by all means have something fragrant to hand when reading.
London slang is well known for being pretty ripe. A lot of the expressions used come from things which are either disgusting in the first place, or from the kind of anger and sense of outrage you'd get from jamming too many people into too small a place, at at time before the discovery of germs and bacteria, before the development of effective sewage systems, and before the motor car took away our reliance on horses to get from A to B.
Toe rag is a prime example. It comes from a time when men wore stockings instead of socks, and is used as an insult, to describe someone who is the lowest of the low.
Note: Not to be confused with 'snot-rag,' which is a slang phrase for a handkerchief and never used as a term of abuse.
The toe rag, from which the term comes, was an item of clothing worn by men who were either too poor to afford stockings, or were criminals. They would wrap their feet up in scraps of cloth, which, unwashed, would end up in a very poor state indeed. It's a relatively common situation among the homeless even today.
The first recorded use is in Experiences of a Convict, an 1864 book by J F Mortlock in which he says: "Stockings being unknown, some luxurious men wrapped round their feet a piece of old shirting, called, in language more expressive than elegant, a 'toe-rag'"
So it's a small jump from having a disgusting thing called a toe rag, to using it as a term of abuse.
The popularity of the phrase became particularly pronounced in the 1970s, when TV writers for hard-boiled cop shows like The Sweeney (which was itself named after the cockney rhyming slang for the Flying Squad, the section of the Metropolitan Police devoted to armed crimes. Sweeney Todd = Flying Squad.), found themselves unable to use swear words, and resorted to digging out Victorian slang instead. Of course, once it was on the TV, people from all over started to pick up on it as a very effective insult.
There is a rumour that the phase has an alternative origin, namely a 'tow rag', which is a length of rope sailors would carry with them and use as toilet paper on long voyages (then trail it in the sea to clean it). How true this story is is open to debate, however the phrase appears far more frequently as 'toe rag', and certainly would carry more weight as an insult if it came from a commonly understood situation.
Footnote: When the recording engineer Liam Watson wanted to set up a London-based, all-analogue recording studio, one devoted to capturing sound in all of its pungent glory, what did he call it? Oh yes.

I'm free of my time, earn good money, do not depend on a single revenue stream, and I can earn money anywhere there is internet. And yet, life is not better because of this.
Most of people want to work so they can retire and do what I do now... They are wrong, their life will not be better.
My explanation is that we are very similar to ants : We are social worker, we need to work for communities.
My everyday joy is spreading knowledge to the developer community. My list of article on codeproject is my greatest pride.
When you rest and procrastinate, boredom will get you.
When you work for money, and not for a community, boredom will get you.
We are social workers, as ants are. Remove either the social or worker part and boredom will get you. This seems hardwired into us, and no amount of money, freedom, and luxury can change it.
That's why the culture in a business is so important. The culture transform business to community. Stronger the sense of unity, higher is happiness of members. That sounds like almost as a sect, but they are using the same ingredient to inspire their members.

AI campaign raises global concern over Lahore's air quality
LAHORE: "Urgent Actions" – an Amnesty International (AI) campaign has raised serious concerns about how the hazardous air quality in Lahore has been posing a risk to the public health.
It says that every person in this city of over 10 million people, is at serious risk for developing complex health issues thanks to bad air quality.
"Urgent Actions" is a campaigning tool that AI has been using to mobilise global support for the victims of human rights' violations and for prisoners of conscience.
Previously, it was issued regarding the Asiya Bibi blasphemy case.
The human rights organisation is currently mobilising the world's population to campaign for Lahore's constant smog problem, and to speak for the millions who live in Pakistan's second largest city.
The smog -- the 'fifth season' -- as it is called now, occurs between October and February in the region when several factors combine and worsen the already unhealthy air. Poor fuel quality, uncontrolled industrial emissions, and open burning of garbage as well as crop stubble are some of the causes.
On Wednesday, once again, Lahore was enveloped by a blanket of thick smoke, creating visibility issues and slowing down traffic, especially in the downtown. People travelling between cities said that they could sense a burning odour.
Air Visual Earth showed Wednesday's Air Quality Index (AQI) to have shot up to a maximum of around 852, while other readings showed AQI of 555, 471, 396, 481, etc. Most of these pockets were in central Lahore, but even surrounding areas have readings of 235, 256, and in one place 429.
The minimum AQI that was recorded was 192, which according to the international benchmarks means the air is "very unhealthy".
The citizens are unhappy with the way the issue is being dealt with.
South Asia Campaigner at AI, Rimmel Mohydin on Wednesday said the government's inadequate response had raised significant human rights' concerns.
"We are calling on our members around the world to write to the Pakistani authorities to tell them to stop downplaying the crisis and take urgent action to protect people's health and lives," she said.
According to a 2015 report published by the UK medical journal, Lancet, more than 310,000 people die each year in Pakistan because of poor air quality.
For one in every two days this month, the air quality in Lahore has been classified as "hazardous" by air quality monitors installed by the United States Consulate in Lahore and the Pakistan Air Quality Initiative (PAQI). The government shut schools down on at least three days this month, and once again November 22 has been announced a holiday.
Since October, at least seven days have seen air quality reach hazardous levels.
Prolonged or heavy exposure to hazardous air can result in asthma, lung damage, bronchial infections, or heart problems and can lead to shortened life expectancy.
Article 12.1 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Articles 11.1 (f) and 12 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women of 1979 and Article 24 of the Convention of the Rights of the Child of 1989 give people the right to have their lives protected. Failing this, the state would have been committing a human rights' violation.
The smog issue is regional and cities across South Asia are consistently reporting 'unhealthy' or 'hazardous' air quality levels.
For example in Delhi air quality monitors have even given a reading of 999.
Apart from Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and other cities in Punjab also show signs of worsening air quality.
The most vulnerable sections of society are the low income workers, such as labourers, construction workers and farmhands, as well as women, the elderly, children and those who are already suffering from such diseases.
Marginalised groups are particularly vulnerable as the nature of their work forces them to be exposed to hazardous air throughout the day.
The fact that health care is not easily affordable to all means that only those who can afford it will be able to access health care and other preventative measures, while the others suffer in silence.

Parents, get more out of retirement by getting the most out of your CPP
Stay-at-home parents know that it's a full-time job, and then some! Taking time to care for young children can include leaving the workforce or reducing your hours. Naturally, this impacts your earnings and how much you contribute to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), called the QPP in Quebec, as a result. But it shouldn't impact the quality of your retirement.
You may not know about a special CPP provision called the "Child Rearing Benefit" that allows you to exclude years of low (or no) income from your benefits calculation. This accounts for periods when you were the primary caregiver raising your children under the age of seven and can put more money in your pocket to fund your later years.
However, the benefit isn't automatic – you have to apply for it. The application form for the CPP retirement pension includes a section on child-rearing (section 11A). If you're already receiving a CPP benefit, you'll need to complete the Child-Rearing Provision (CPP) Request Form. Doing so ensures you'll receive the highest possible benefit by compensating for periods when you were paid less. Even better news: The benefit is fully retroactive and could also help you meet the eligibility requirements for a CPP disability benefit, should you need it, as well as contributory requirements to pass along benefits to your estate and survivors in the event of your death.
- You must have not worked or had low earnings while being the primary caregiver of a child under the age of seven born after December 1958 (either parent can claim this benefit).
- You must have been eligible to receive the family allowance or child tax benefit.
How to apply
You must provide one of the following for each child: The child's name, date of birth and SIN number, or an original or certified true copy of the child's birth certificate.
When to apply
At the same time as you apply for any CPP benefit.
Other provisions that protect benefits include the disability exclusion and over-65 dropout. Knowing the factors that impact your monthly CPP payment and what you can expect to receive is key to retirement income planning. You should also look beyond government income sources to fund your later years. Starting as early as possible with tax-efficient savings, like a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) can help to provide the income you need to maintain your lifestyle.
Note to Quebec residents

We took a tour of Atria Blankenbaker. We looked at the rooms and they were very small. They had storage available, but they couldn't guarantee storage. They had happy hours, they had drinks all day, we had a meal, the food was good, and they had more of a variety. The apartments we looked at were a one-bedroom and a one-bedroom with a den, but they were small, so she decided not to do that. The staff member was very nice and very helpful. It was a nice facility.

Reviews (4.4 out of 5 Grommets)
Held a scarf the other day thru three layers, and never missed a beat. Strong magnets with a classy look. Definitely would recommend these
Easy to use, strong, and very nice looking.
Highly recommend.
Very stylish and well made!
Earlier purchased one for myself and liked it so much I got one for a gift. Excellent product.
I got these for a particular sweater of mine. I worried it might slip off because the sweater is pretty thick. Nope! In fact, I really had to pry the magnets apart!
They look great and work just as described. Would love to get the additional colors!
Really like this magnet accessory
Very sturdy. Holds scars very well.
The magnet closure I bought is very elegant and holds my scarf in place. I am happy with the quality of this piece!
Bought the gold and the silver so I could wear with anything. Love them and the super magnet works very well.
The magnet is super strong and it is amazing. I love having this to hold scarves where I want them of close wraps. Love it!
The MagneButton Story
Get It Together
The creator, shop owner Christy Grierson, came up with the idea after listening to her customers complain about cardigans without closures. What they needed was a safety pin—but who wants to ruin a great look with a safety pin? Christy started tinkering with heavy-duty magnets and adding embellishments to make them more fashionable. Her designs were an instant hit, ranging from classic, subtle patterns to more expressive, bold prints.
Christy's simple yet hardworking accessory can help you pull your outfit together. . . literally. Read More Read Less

Most Properties Qualify for Stated Income Loans
Are you looking for a loan that doesn't require mountains of paperwork? Were you recently turned down for a loan due to a poor credit history? At Capital Connex, our lending partners offer stated commercial real estate loans that can take care of both of these situations. If you have valuable property in your portfolio, you can use it to fund your business's next step.
Basics of Stated Income Loans
As you consider where to get your stated income commercial real estate loan from, know that Capital Connex offers many benefits for qualified business owners through our network of lenders. Here are some of those benefits:
- Fixed amortized rates for 25-year terms
- Loan amounts as large as $500,000
- Credit score of 600 or better to qualify
- Multiple properties accepted
- Minimal paperwork
- Use funds for purchasing, refinancing and more
Qualifying for a Real Estate Loan
Instead of requiring mountains of paperwork and decades of financial records, the biggest factor in whether or not you qualify for our loan is the value of your property. When this value is high enough to cover costs including taxes, insurance on the loan and the mortgage, then you are one step closer to being approved.
Handling Loan-to-Value Ratios
The amount of money you qualify for is determined by the Loan-to-value ratio or LTV. This value is determined by multiple factors, including the type of building you apply with. Here is a breakdown of building types qualifying you for 65% to 75% LTV.
- 65% LTV for auto service, office, retail, self-storage and warehouse properties
- 70% LTV for non-owner-occupied investment properties with one to four units
- 75% LTV for mixed-use or multifamily properties with five or more units
We Want To Hear From You
Contact our office today to find out more about how we can help you with a stated income commercial real estate loan. The approval process is fast and loans typically close within two or three weeks.

Happy Thursday and welcome to another Disney news round-up! Mickey Mouse is celebrating his birthday tomorrow and everyone can celebrate at the Walt Disney World Resort. Let's check out the rest of today's news.
Tiffins, the signature dining restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom, is scheduled to open Friday, May 27, and as of today reservations are now available! Also available as of today are reservations for the new dining package for The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic show.
If you're traveling to the Walt Disney World Resort for Thanksgiving this year, you'll find a variety of dining options for your Turkey Day meal at the theme parks and the resorts. Whether your big holiday meal will be at lunch or dinner, there is something for everyone.
Tusker House in Disney's Animal Kingdom has always been a popular character meal for breakfast and lunch but starting in March 2015 guests will also be able to have dinner with Donald Duck and his friends.
Wine Bar George is the latest Disney Springs Restaurant to announce it will soon be serving brunch! In honor of the brand new Wine Country Brunch (that is said to feature a Dole Whip Mimosa) I thought I should share my three favorite spots in Walt Disney World to indulge.
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And nowhere is this truer than at Disney's Animal Kingdom. For several reasons, including the unrelenting Animal Kingdom heat and the park's terrain, I always eat a good breakfast before touring this park. And there are a few good places to fuel up when you're at the Animal Kingdom.
Character meals are a fun way to dine when you're at the Walt Disney World Resort and one of our favorites is the Tusker House at Disney's Animal Kingdom. This character meal buffet is often thought of as "off the radar" for some folks, but with its delicious food and incredible themeing, this spot rivals any of the more "popular" character meals in our book.
One of the reasons the Disney Parks keep fans returning year after year is the attention to detail they give to the storytelling throughout all of the lands. From architecture and attractions to landscaping and set dressings this attention is what allows millions to suspend belief and journey to a land far away from central Florida. One of my favorite areas for this is the Harambe Village in Disney's Animal Kingdom.
We polled our Facebook Fans to find our where their favorite spot to watch the Parade in Animal Kingdom was, and though there were a few responses there's an overwhelming number of people who just don't make a special stop to watch this parade. With that in mind, I'm going to share with you my favorite spot to watch this parade and why I think it's worthwhile!

Not all feelings about Mother's Day fit on a Hallmark card.
It is perhaps the most complicated of relationships, keeping many a therapist in business. It shapes not only who we become as people, but as parents. So much of what we do once we have children is either exactly the way we were raised or a rejection of how we were raised – but either way we are responding to our mothers.
Karen Essex is a novelist who writes historical fiction through the eyes of women. In her latest book, "Stealing Athena," her main characters are mavericks, rebelling against societies that do not acknowledge their rights to choose their own lives. The best gift mothers and daughter can give each other on Mother's Day, she writes in a guest blog, is permission to be different from one another.
A friend of mine calls Mother's Day "Approval Seeking Day." Another, "Blood from a Stone Day." The latter asks, "How am I supposed to honor that same creature who ruined years and years of my life with her disapproving and critical ways?"
Whether mom's disapproval causes decades of pain or just a little knot in the gut, at this moment, daughters all over America are racking their brains for the perfect gift to please the one they can never seem to please — Mother. But I have an idea for not only taking a giant step forward in resolving the mother/daughter conflict, but also improving the state of all womankind. And the best part — no purchase necessary!
As the mother of a 22-year-old who is coming into her own womanhood, and the author of five books about powerful women in history, I wish to propose that on this Mother's Day, we also begin to reflect on ways to empower the mothers of the future, who just happen to be our own daughters. And I propose that we do this whether or not we like their methods, choices and lifestyles.
How many women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond complain that they don't have their mother's approval, yet are still withholding approval from their own daughters? My own mother worked slavishly for a sign of validation from her mother, who always disapproved of my mother's outgoing personality, charisma with men and decision to have a career. My mother tried to win her mother's approval in a variety of ways, taking care of her and all her siblings in their old ages. Finally, at the ripe age of 98, my grandmother caved in, admitting that my mother was a "good girl and very good to her mother."
Meanwhile, I made choices in my life that my mother hated. I blithely scrapped the family plan for me — which involved remaining in our beloved New Orleans, going to law school and marrying a fellow lawyer. Instead, I majored in theater, traveled around the globe as a model, moved to Los Angeles, got into the film business, and then, after all that unconventional jetting around, gave up a lucrative executive job and started writing.
My mother was sure that she had raised a crackpot, and being an extremely vocal person, she let me know it — often. And yet, when I was at my lowest point as a writer, my mother searched her soul and came through with tremendous gifts. She paid for my graduate degree, an MFA in writing, and for my research in Egypt as I struggled to complete my first novel, "Kleopatra." Without those two gestures of support, I am not sure I'd be where I am in my career today. I believe that she was able to support me because she had finally received the love she'd been seeking from my grandmother for so long.
By this point, I, too, had become a mother. I have often said that I write books that re-imagine history from the female point of view because when my daughter was younger, she and her friends could not name one powerful woman in history save Madonna — and they didn't mean the mother of Jesus. I wanted my daughter to know that women of power have always existed, and that no matter what constraints have been placed upon us, dynamic women have always found a way to prevail. In other words, I wanted to empower her.
But don't you know, the little vixen followed in the maternal family tradition of refusing to be like her mother! My daughter rejected all the ways of being that I had planned for her and set upon her own course. The nerve! I finally had to realize that just as my grandmother and my mother thought they knew what was best for their daughters but didn't, I thought I knew what was best for my daughter, but didn't. It dawned on me that I would have to get over myself and support my child on the path that she'd chosen for herself. It had taken my grandmother 98 years to give my mother her approval. My own mother made the transition while still in her 60s, and I was able to do it in my 40s.
Now that's positive evolution.
In my recent book, "Stealing Athena," the two heroines, though they lived some 2,300 years apart, endured unimaginable hardship for refusing to conform to societal notions. Now, centuries later, the laws have changed, and we women should be celebrating a time of enormous freedom.
Instead, there is still a lot of in-fighting over the correct equation for being a "good" woman, causing conflicts that pit women against women. We've got stay-at-home moms vs. career moms battling it out for self-righteous supremacy. Women who have made androgyny a political choice denigrate girlie-girls and more traditional women, and vice-versa. Abstinent girls and sexual freedom seekers have reduced their debate to name-calling. Baby-boom mothers who fought for parity are angry that some of their daughters do not want to "have it all" and choose to support their husbands' careers in lieu of promoting their own.
These battles, which often take place inside the mother/daughter relationship, are disservices to all women.
Now that women are no longer constrained by oppressive laws, we need to stand up for each other's choices rather than try to fit all women into one way of being. And we can begin honoring and respecting the choices our daughters make, rather than trying to fit them into the mold of our expectations or society's expectations.
Last week, with my breath held, I told both my mother and my daughter that I was going to spend the rest of the year in London. My daughter was very ill last year, and now, my mother is not feeling so well. I was sure
that I would get guilt from one and grief from the other. Yet each of them lovingly said that I really deserved this time for myself and my work, and expressed great happiness for me. I felt so much joy when they
approved of my choice that I thought my heart would burst.
It was the most beautiful Mother's Day gift I could have possibly received.

Bomberman Keshi – Super Bomberman 3 Series A
Pretty Bomber
This is one of two Pretty Bomber figures released for Super Bomberman 3. It's actually pretty similar to the other one, though not identical. There are some subtle differences in the positioning of her feet and her scarf, and her dress in this version is actually much more detailed than that of the other variant. Also, while the other figure holds a heart bomb in her raised hand, this one simply waves while winking and looking off to the side. Taking a look at the arm, I believe that it's actually stronger at the elbow than the other figure's arm. I'm pretty sure that this is because the translucent one is made of softer material. Taking a look at the face, it represents the evolution of her art style; the earlier Super Bomberman 2 figure has the bigger, wider eyes (I'll show it to you someday… I'm holding out for a SB2 Brain Bomber that actually has his cloak).
As far as I'm aware, this Pretty Bomber is actually one of only four female characters represented in the entire Bomberman franchise keshi line. Three of the four of them are copies of Pretty Bomber in different poses. That's… pretty sad.
Bomber Uhho
He's from Kenya, and he's, um, a tribesman. Hey, okay, he looks super cool, right? I think he does. His name is "Bomber Uhho", and "uhho" is a Japanese onomatopoeia for… uh… grunting…… Is this racist? Look, Japan, I don't think you're trying to be racist with these World Bombers – we've got a gunslinging, hamburger-eating cowboy representing us, and you've even got a kimono-wearing karaoke man representing you. I know you're not trying to be mean-spirited, and maybe Americans take things a bit too seriously, but…
Bomber Uhho does look really good here. Being a bigger character, he's scaled down a lot, so much so that he's actually shorter than Mexican Bomber. His pose is almost identical to his artwork, except that the positioning of his arms is flipped, likely to keep the spear both in a decent range for the mold as well as the gachapon capsule it would end up in. Speaking of those capsules, his spear is kind of flimsy, and is totally subject to bending. Mine has been bent a lot, as you can see. Also, now that I'm inspecting him more closely, his feet seem a little bigger and his head a little smaller than they should be, but despite all that it's a very neat keshi.
Bomber Kid
Sometimes translated as "Bomber the Kid", Bomber Kid is… oddly short in this appearance. It's not all that noticeable when he's next to other characters, because he's not even half a centimeter off from White Bomber, but if you put him up next to Indy Bomber it's really noticeable. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the hat because Bomber Cossack is taller than him, but it's possible.
Being an American, Bomber Kid has a revolver in his hand and a belt full of bullets slung over his shoulder. It's covering up his belt buckle, so who knows if the buckle would still read "UK" like it does in his artwork. Speaking of his artwork, his pose is pretty close to it. Most of the World Bomber keshi are rather similar in design to the game art.
Like Bomber Chun, his feet are turned a little too far from each other, which makes him more susceptible to toppling.

always a squaddie. Not that I have ever been a member of HM Forces. But it was back to the Ecclesiastical ranks as a 2nd Acolyte at St Michael's this morning due to a server shortage. I think the last time I did this was back in 1993 prior to leaving Coates Hall. It's surprising how quickly things come back and I think I was reasonably competent (which, given that St Michael's is probably one of the most precise and well drilled liturgical shops in the country, is like saying I'd do OK on Horseguards Parade with the Woodentops had I been a squaddie! And tall enough to join the Scots Guards. Which I'm not - I have the build of a Poison Dwarf from the Cameronians (now defunct) or my local Regiment the Black Watch. And all whilst being observed by the Rector designate from the choir gallery.
It's odd to thank that my life which has been going forwards in the last year or 2 has achieved this by going backwards - from incumbent to Assistant Priest, by recovering my diaconate without a dog collar in Support Work. Still, it's no bad thing for the Priest Director of the Edinburgh Guild of Servers (moi!) to go back into the ranks and show he can still bash a square as well as any other platoon member:-)

All across the world, millions of parents find themselves thrust into the role of 'teacher'. Yet, let me state unequivocally that you are not your child's substitute teacher. Your home is not a school and your focus shouldn't be on ensuring your child doesn't "fall behind". This is not the time to compound uncertainty with learning anxiety.
This essay was originally published on July 23, 2019, on TVO.org. In his 2005 essay "How to Write About Africa," Binyavanga Wainaina says sardonically: "In your text, treat Africa as if it were one country. It is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and huge herds of animals and tall, thin people who are starving. Or it is hot and steamy with very short people who eat primates. Don't get bogged down with precise descriptions. Africa is big: fifty-four countries, 900 million people who are too busy starving and dying and warring and emigrating to read your book."
Twitter has been buzzing the past few days with the game of musical chairs being played at Flow 93.5FM in Toronto. First, we learned long-time Flow 93.5FM host, Mastermind, was let go, along with Alicia "Ace" West. Then, more news―Blake Carter and Peter Kash would be moving to Mastermind's former afternoon slot to make room for the popular New York morning show The Breakfast Club, hosted by DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God.
"The Canadian Entertainment Industry Needs To Address Diversity" - CBC News "The lack of diversity in Canadian media is 'hard to ignore' — and the numbers prove it" - Global News "Canada's diversity not reflected on the silver screen, say, actors, screenwriters of colour" - CBC News "Why Is Canadian Television So White?" - Refinery29 Canada
Raising a Black child in Canada can be quite a challenge. One of the things I've been struggling with is how do you teach a child to navigate a system that wasn't designed for them.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Back in the "day" – early 1980's – a group of Black journalists met at a Toronto restaurant to talk about forming a professional network and to encourage Canadian newspapers and broadcasters to hire more Black journalists. We hoped to create an actual organization.
I felt ill-equipped to answer her question satisfactorily. My daughter, Destiny, was on the phone scrutinizing our multi-racial, multi-ethnic identity. And the answers didn't come easy to me. We have a long history of bi-racial and cross-cultural unions in my family. All of our ethnic and racial identities are hidden in our obvious Blackness.
Like many others this past week I sat and listened to Matt Mauser begin an interview on The Today Show reminiscing about the time he first met Kobe Bryant. Working as a Spanish teacher at the private school Kobe's daughter Gianna attended, Mauser recalled a time when Kobe, who was injured at the time, approached Mauser to request attending a field trip with his daughter. Mauser enthusiastically agreed to it without hesitation, and over time the two got to know each other beyond just a first name basis.
Last week, Black Enterprise magazine published an interview with COO of Facebook and CEO of Lean In Sheryl Sandberg. It was rooted in the fact that Sandberg's Lean In advice has fallen flat for most women, and more specifically for Black women.
I think I have potential. I say this knowing exactly how much of an arrogant so and so it makes me sound. As a full-time freelance writer, my work has popped up in publications of all sizes and influence, in which I've expressed political opinions from a critical perspective, along with a rare smattering of nuanced art and book reviews.
A few years ago, I began noticing a disturbing trend in American media. Whenever a mass shooting occurred, one of two responses would emerge and dominate the public discourse. The first, as you may have anticipated, was outright denial of the problem. The well-publicized "the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" comes to mind.
The Internet and all its Twitter activists are busy cancelling and critiquing a photo that has so fittingly surfaced a month before Canadians cast their votes in the upcoming federal election. In the photo, Justin Trudeau is in 'brownface' dressed as Aladdin at an 'Arabian Nights Theme Party' in 2001.
Recent reports of the schooling experiences of Black students in elementary, middle, and high school in Toronto tell a story of negligence and disregard. This disregard includes a lack of access to appropriate reading materials and supportive relationships with teachers and administrators.

The U.S. administration expressed sorrow over the death of former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee Aug. 16. It praised his accomplishments and foresight in building U.S.-India bilateral relations.
"On behalf of the people of the United States of America, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the people of India on the recent passing of Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, said in a press release from the State Department.
"We know that many Indians will reflect on Prime Minister Vajpayee's many contributions that led to India's rise as a global and economic power," said Secretary Pompeo, adding, "He championed tirelessly for his country's development and demonstrated a devotion to improving the lives of every Indian."\
"Standing before the United States Congress in 2000, he famously characterized U.S.-India ties as a "natural partnership of shared endeavors." He recognized early on that the United States and India, based on their shared democratic values, could develop a partnership that would contribute to the economic prosperity and security of the region and the world," Pompeo noted.
"Today, our two countries and our bilateral relationship continue to benefit from Prime Minister Vajpayee's vision, which helped promote expanded cooperation," the U.S. Secretary of State added.
"The American people and I stand with the people of India as we mourn Prime Minister Vajpayee's passing. Today, we hold the people of India in our thoughts and prayers," said the statement.

Out of all the leaks coming from inside the White House, why was the fact that President Donald Trump was not personally under investigation for Russian collusion not leaked?
That is the question that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) asked former FBI Director James Comey Earlier in the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Comey said Trump did not ask him to end the Russia investigation as a whole. He also said he believed he was fired by Trump because of the Russia investigation.
Rubio wondered about all the leaks that have occurred during the Trump-Russia investigation, saying "we've learned more from the newspapers sometimes than we do from our open hearings."
"Do you ever wonder why, of all the things in this investigation, the only thing that's never been leaked is the fact that the president was not personally under investigation, despite the fact that Democrats and Republicans and the leadership of Congress knew that and have known that for weeks?" he asked.
Because if it was leaked that @realDonaldTrump was personally not under investigation- it would have crushed the entire narrative. pic.twitter.com/drFcCxin5M
— Dan Scavino (@DanScavino) June 8, 2017
Comey answered that classified briefings to Congress on such matters are "pretty tightly held."
The Blaze reported that the subjects of leaks from inside the Trump administration has been an ongoing source of frustration for Trump and Republicans in particular, who have frequently criticized both the leakers and the media who have carried the leaks in the media.
During the course of the hearing, Comey also indicated that many of the stories that have been based on allegedly leaked classified information have been substantially false and incorrect.

5 Steps to Give Up Slavery for Lent
Modern Slavery
Though we may think of slavery as a thing of the past, it's truly a modern problem. It's estimated that there are 20.9 million victims of forced labor in the world today. This includes coerced servitude, sex trafficking, bonded labor, and forced marriage.
You might not think modern slavery has anything to do with you, but do you eat chocolate? Wear clothes made overseas or a diamond ring? Are you reading this on an electronic device? If you answered yes to those, you probably benefited from slavery. It's a hard thing to hear.
Recently, the Vatican vowed to "slavery-proof" its upply chains. Given how widespread the problem is, it may be hard for the average person to succeed in doing this. Even so, here are 5 steps to begin to "slavery-proof" your life:
1. Find Your Slavery Footprint
The first thing to do before slavery-proofing your supply chains is to get a sense for how many slaves potentially are working for you. Humanizing the problem in this way should help us repent of our involvement, and be better incentivized to change.
Take the in-depth quiz at slaveryfootprint.org (created by Made in a Free World) to understand how deep the problem runs in your own life. There you'll anonymously answer questions about your diet, possessions and purchasing habits.
2. Pray
After you finish the exercize, take some time to pray. If you're anything like me, you'll be dismayed at your result.
Join us in praying the following:
Lord, I come to you seeking forgiveness for the great sin of slavery, in which I have particpated. I ask forgiveness especially for those times when my participation was known to me, and yet I did not repent. Help me to feel the weight of the real lives affected by this great sin. You know their names. You know their sufferings and their dreams. Holy Spirit, grant me discernment, so that I might begin to make more ethical decisions. Give me fortitude, that I might resist this sin when it is most inconvenient. Cover me with grace, that I might be your worker in ending this sin here on Earth. I pray all this in Jesus' name. Amen.
3. Don't give up chocolate, go Fair Trade
Two of the biggest products associated with forced labor are chocolate and coffee (which are both popular Lenten sacrifices). This year, instead of giving up your morning coffee or afternoon chocolate, make a commitment to buy Fair Trade. The little bit of extra money for the Fair Trade label is well worth the clear conscience to be had from knowing that fair wages were paid for the product.
In addition to coffee and chocolate, look for the fair trade label on tea, spices, sugar, produce and clothing. For more informtaion on products produced by child and forced labor, check out this list from the Bureau of International Labor Affairs.
4. Don't upgrade
Almost all major electronics companies benefit from a supply chain that uses forced labor (most of them use Malaysia as a manufacturing base, where the problem is rampant). This means that our beloved smart phones, tablets and laptop computers all have modern slavery in their history.
So when you're up for an upgrade on your phone, don't take it if you can avoid it. If you'd like a new computer but you really don't need one, don't get it. Hopefully as awareness of modern slavery builds, accountability and transparency in major companies will increase.
5. Call, Write, Tweet
Speaking of accountability - the only way for that to really increase is by consumer pressure. Research competitors to your favorite companies that are taking steps to source more ethically. Call, write and tweet at the companies whose products you use and tell them your concerns. Let them know that you will be switching brands. Tell your friends to put the same kind of pressure on the brands they consume.
One person may not be enough to rid the world of slavery all together. But many people making their voices heard can cause companies to change. If we raise our voices up as well as supproting the work of organizations like End Slavery Now and Made in a Free World, incremental change can be made.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of steps that can be taken to slavery-proof your life. That list would probably include ridding your life of electronics all together, and never purchasing imported food again. But the goal to end slavery as an individual can't be so unrealistic that people don't even try. So try the five steps above this Lent, because Christ died to break chains.

Once upon a time, the hearth — the fireplace floor, the fire within, and the area in front of it — provided heat for cooking and warmth for the house. It was the central fire where people could warm themselves, and each other with deep, generous hospitality. It was also a door that opened the folks who gathered around it to inner mysteries.
During the last year, Sacred Hearth School has helped some of us here in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts and eastern New York state with renew this earthy sense of sacred welcome to ourselves and others in our everyday lives. We've experimented with hospitality's historic ways and mythic means, including sacred story, the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path, visualization and inner-world journeys. We've explored and expanded our own passions for the gifts of this sacred hospitality and supported each other as we embrace the power in a fragmented world. It's been a delicious, radical journey of reconciliation, and we've had fun, too.
Care to join us? If you live in, or near, south Berkshire County Massachusetts, a new 6-month cycle of Sacred Hearth School begins on zoom in May. We'll gather to explore the sacred reality hidden under the appearance of the world we share in a series I'm calling The Holy Grail in the Mirror.

No Parking! ...Shorelark at Tynemouth
Re-visited Tynemouth this morning for another attempt at the shorelark that eluded me yesterday. The bird had become faithful to a small lawn adjacent Oxford Street car park. Quite surreal...!
A quick walk down to the priory provided hearings but not sightings of the dusky warbler... then it was a mad dash back to upload a couple of the shorelark images before work.
Bluetail still being reported at St Mary's, but no time today.

Why Every Driver Needs to Have Uninsured Motorist and Medical Payments Coverage
When searching for car insurance the first priority on most people's mind is the cost of the coverage but not the actual details of the policy and the type of protection it provides. Not all insurance policies are created equal. Dropping certain important coverage for the sake of saving a few dollars can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run.
Many people think that if they have an old car or are safe drivers then they need a liability only minimum limits policy. This could be a very costly mistake. Liability only policies do not provide any protection for you in case you get injured through no fault of your own. Liability only policies do not carry Uninsured/Motorist coverage and Med Pay coverage, both of which are going to be explained below.
What is uninsured/ underinsured motorist coverage and why does everyone need it? Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage provides you with benefits in the event that you are involved in an accident and the at fault driver either does not have any insurance or has such low limits that they will not pay for all of your expenses. In Colorado almost one out of every five drivers is uninsured. If you are involved in an accident with an uninsured driver and you do not have uninsured motorist coverage it impossible for your to recover any of the losses that you sustained from the accident, whether it is medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering or any other expenses associated with the accident.
It is also very important to understand the concept of an underinsured driver. In Colorado the legal minimum limits for an insurance policy are $25,000 per person and 50,000 per vehicle for bodily injury. There is a separate minimum of $15,000.00 minimum limit for property damage. What does that mean for you? What this means is that even if the driver that hit you has insurance he or she may not have enough coverage to pay for all of your expenses.
A trip by ambulance to the emergency department, a stay at the emergency department and the diagnostics associated with the stay could end up being more than the $25,000 that a minimum policy affords and this is before any follow up treatment, lost wages or pain and suffering damages. If you experience traumatic injuries as a result of the accident that require extensive treatment and/or surgeries the cost of the bills could sky rocket into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Therefore, it is important to have the highest uninsured/underinsured limits that you can afford but in no event should you have a policy with less than $100,000 per person and $300,000 per vehicle limits. Unfortunately, insurance companies do not allow you to have higher uninsured/underinsured limits than your liability limits so if you have low liability limits you will need to raise them to the same amount that you want for your uninsured/underinsured limits.
What is medical payments coverage? Medical Payments Coverage or Med Pay pays your medical bills up to your coverage limit for you, your family and others riding in your vehicle in case of an accident, regardless of who's at fault. Your medical payments coverage moves with you (walking, riding with a friend or on public transportation, in-state or out), as well as with your insured vehicles, regardless of who's driving. It carries no deductible or co-pay.
If you're injured in an accident that another insured driver caused, it can take months for their car insurance company to pay your medical bills. Sure, your health insurance may pay, but many of us carry high deductibles and co-pays that can stretch our finances to the breaking point before the insurance settlement with the other driver closes.
Unlike liability coverage, Med Pay policy limits do not refer to the total available coverage, but instead to the amount available to each covered injured individual. That means if you, your spouse and your two children were injured in an auto accident, each of you could collect the limit amount on your $5,000 Med Pay coverage for a total of $20,000.
As with uninsured motorist coverage you should buy the highest amount of Med Pay coverage that your insurance company offers and that you can afford but in no instance should you waive the $5,000 minimum coverage that is automatically applied to every policy. The premium for med pay is so small, often only a few dollars per month for a $10,000 limit that the benefits you would receive from one claim would be enough to offset decades of payments.
Here at the Denver Firm we see cases where the at-fault-driver was uninsured or underinsured on a very consistent basis. An example that comes to mind is an individual who was rear-ended at a very high rate of speed, we will call him John. John was rear ended by Steve at an extremely high rate of speed. John was seriously injured as a result of the accident and was rushed to the emergency room by ambulance. In the emergency room John underwent X-Rays and CT Scans. John was scheduled for surgery due to his injuries. John spent three days in the hospital recovering from his injuries.
Unfortunately for John, Steve was uninsured at the time of the accident. Also, unfortunately for John, he rejected underinsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage on his policy. John had to undergo additional surgeries throughout the next couple of months due to the severity of his injuries. He ended up with several hundred thousand dollars in medical bills. Because John did not have any uninsured motorist coverage and because the driver that hit him had no assets John had nowhere to recover the money from. Additionally, due to his injuries John was unable to work and had no income coming in during the time he was recovering from his injuries. For John the end result was the loss of his house, bankruptcy and no recovery for any of the suffering that he went through.
As you can see from the example above saving a few dollars now can have dramatic, life altering consequences for you in the future. After you are done with this article, please call your insurance agent and go over your policy. Make sure you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage. Make sure the limits for the uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and Med Pay are sufficient to reasonably cover your expenses in the event of an accident. By Roman Balaban
