Stormy weather: keeping pets safe
Winter brings plenty of bad weather our way. Storm warnings are common over the winter months and can bring with them strong winds, rain storms and even snow. All of these can have an impact on our pets, too.
What can you do to keep your pets safe when storms hit? Here's our top tips:
Dogs and Cats
- Stay ahead of the worst weather and take dogs for a walk in the calm before the storm.
Keep pets inside and lock cat flaps
- Make sure their microchip details are up to date in case you get separated from your pets
- Cats and dogs can be frightened by the loud noises created by storm. Set up a safe area - dogs will feel safe in a comfy den behind a sofa and cats feel safe high up on a safe shelf or cupboard. Keep pets away from windows and play music or put the radio or TV on to drown out some of the noise.
Small pets
- Bring small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs inside.
- If this isn't possible, move them to sheltered areas or a car-free garage or shed.
- Give them extra bedding and cover runs and hutches with thick blankets.
What to do if you need to evacuate
During a really big storm, you might be told to leave your home for your own safety. This can be a really distressing time for you and your pet. Here's how what you can do to make leaving a little less stressful:
- Put cats and small pets in secure carriers so you can evacuate them safely.
- Dogs should be on secure leads with a well-fitting collar in case they panic. Make sure they are wearing a name tag with up to date contact details on.
- If you have to leave without your pets, move them into a safe room upstairs with plenty of fresh water and food. As soon as you're safe, let the rescue services know where you pet is so they can reunite you.

Calabasas Fine Arts Festival to feature many talented artists – Calabasas Real Estate
Calabasas Fine Arts Festival to feature many talented artists2011-04-28 / Dining & Entertainment
More than 150 artists will exhibit their works at the 14th annual Calabasas Fine Arts Festival, considered by some to be the premier art show in the area.
The event will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday at the Calabasas Civic Center and The Commons shopping center.
The show brings culture to the community and allows people to support local artists, said Perry Castellano, a chef and a metal sculpture artist who has shown his abstract nature pieces at previous Calabasas festivals.
"Any art festival that comes into our area is good because it exposes the community to art and it gives local artists a venue to show their work," Castellano said.
The Calabasas fine art show started in 1997 with 35 vendors. It has grown to feature more than 150 sculptors, painters, photographers and other fine artisans.
"There were over 240 applications this year, and approxi- mately 150 artists were selected to participate," said Aimee Haber, special events coordinator for Calabasas.
Two years ago, the Arts
Council began collaborating with The Commons to showcase artists at the center.
The 2011 Calabasas Fine Arts Festival will feature a number of returning artists along with many appearing for the first time.
The show will include many types of art, such as glass, acrylic, mixed media, sculpture, woodwork, photography, jewelry and pottery.
Gourd artist Stephen Browning of Lomita, who will participate in the festival with fellow gourd artist Valentin Ruesga for the first time this year, said he looks forward to showing his works.
Admission is free. Visit www.calabasasartscouncil.com or www.cityofcalabasas.com.
Calabasas features many great events throughout the year. The Calabasas Fine Arts Festival is no exception. Located at the Calabasas Commons and the Calabasas Civic Center, this event will take place from 10-5 on Saturday and Sunday this upcoming weekend. Come out to support the arts and to enjoy a nice weekend in Calabasas.

Preparing Landscape for Fall and Winter
As the seasons change so should your landscaping practices; different seasons bring different challenges. With the right preparation, however, you can ensure your property's landscaping stays healthy and vibrant year-round.
Here are some ways to prepare your property's landscaping for the transition from summer to fall and winter:
1. Aerate and Reseed Turf
Fall is an ideal time to aerate turf areas, a process in which small cores of thatch and soil are removed to allow the grass to breathe. Regular aeration should be done once every year or possibly two. This prevents the soil from becoming compacted and also helps keep thatch (a thick layer of roots, stems, and debris) from building up and blocking water, oxygen and nutrients from reaching the soil. A great time to aerate is in the fall before fertilizing so the fertilizer can reach the roots where it is the most beneficial.
This is also the best time to reseed some grass types since cooler weather allows new turf to take off, sinking its roots and adding top growth quickly. In the fall, the ground is still warm, there is still plenty of moisture, temperatures are cooler at night without being too cold, and the sun doesn't get as hot during the day – all ideal conditions for new grass growth. And dense growth provides added protection against weeds, another reason it's important to overseed existing turf. For optimal results, seeds should be in full contact with the soil, kept moist, and are well-established before the weather turns cold.
2. Cut Back On Mowing
Raising the mower height 1/2″ during fall cuttings helps grass increase leaf area, which in turn captures more sunlight and allows for more food storage in the roots over the winter. This expanded leaf area increases turf density, which helps prevent weeds from establishing during the dormant growth season. Ideal turf height is 2-1/2 to 3″; allowing it to grow longer than this leaves grass vulnerable to fungi yet cutting it too short curtails the root system and affects its ability to withstand winter cold and dryness.
3. Weed And Fertilize
Now is the time to eradicate weeks since they typically germinate in late summer. Killing weeds in the fall means much healthier landscaping for your property in the spring. Perennial cool season weeds like dandelion can be treated with a pre-emergent herbicide in early fall. This prevents any seeds that dropped onto the turf in early summer from growing. It also reduces the amount of weeds you'll see in the spring.
Turf needs TLC after the harsh summer temperatures and the heavy activity that comes with it. Cool season grasses should be fertilized from September to November and warm season grasses should be fertilized a little earlier in the season. Roots not only need water to last through the winter, but they can also benefit from a dose of plant sugars that protect roots from freezing and provide them enough energy to bounce back in the spring. These sugars come from chlorophyll which turf produces when there is enough nitrogen present. By applying fertilizer in late fall, turf gets the nitrogen it needs to have a better chance of surviving the winter. Potassium (which is also found in fertilizer) is also important this time of year as it helps with root growth, disease protection, cold resistance, and drought tolerance.
4. Check Fruit Trees
Rotting fruit brings both disease and pests. Check the ground underneath fruit trees and get rid of any rotten fruit. Rotten fruit can not only harm fruit trees, but also other plants and shrubs. Raked leaves should be kept in areas away from healthy fruit trees to prevent leaf-borne diseases from occurring and to also reduce habitats for mice which can destroy these trees. Cutting the grass around the base of the fruit trees has the same effect. Pruning should also be limited in the fall as this may encourage the tree to keep growing. Fruit trees must stop growing so they can harden-off before winter sets in.
5. Bring In New Plants
Fall is a great time to plant any new trees, shrubs, or seasonal color. Be careful, however, that you don't plant the bulbs in the ground too early. This can cause them to sprout prematurely and die over the winter. This time of year the soil is more pliable which makes it much easier for new plants to take root. Although the air temperature is cooling, the soil temperature remains warm. Combine this with higher rainfall totals in the fall and you get ideal conditions for new plants, shrubs, and trees. Cooler air temperatures also mean there is less transpiration (losing water through leaves) so new plants are under less stress. Trees and shrubs that are planted during this season have all of the fall months to develop their root systems, which allows them to acclimate, rest, and recover before spring growth starts.
6. Clean Up
Spring isn't the only season for cleaning. Fall is a good time to clean up any landscaping before winter sets in. Get rid of any dead foliage and annuals to decrease the risk of disease and pests. Clean up any debris from your property's landscaping, deadhead any spent blooms, dig up summer bulbs for storage, pull the last of the summer weeds, and mulch before winter sets in. Now is also a good time to evaluate your property to see what worked in your landscape plan and what didn't, so you can prepare for any changes or additions.
7. Mulch
Adding a layer of mulch in the fall can help protect trees, shrubs, and plants from the colder winter weather. Mulch acts as a barrier to keep soil temperatures even throughout the winter. This not only protects plant roots but also helps retain moisture. Fall mulch works like spring mulch to retain soil moisture, suppress weed growth and protect bare soil from erosion, but it also has several other benefits. Fall mulch insulates soil which provides a warmer environment for soil organisms like earthworms and microbes, which improves your soil over the winter.
Make sure to apply a 1 – 3″ thick layer when adding mulch. Consider the aesthetics of mulch when choosing a material. More formal, aesthetically-pleasing mulch like shredded bark can be used in frontage areas with other types of mulch more preferable for less visible areas. Just make sure the mulch is NOT piled up around the base of the plant trunk. This can cause rotting over time.

DSM Biomedical hosts workshop on the unmet needs in the Peripheral Vascular space
In a workshop type setting a multidisciplinary team of DSM had an active dialogue with leading international clinicians on the unmet needs in the peripheral space. Among them, the team of specialists covered a broad range of peripheral diseases, therapies and devices, including:
- Requirements for hemodialysis by enabling robust access to the veins via arteriovenous (AV) grafts
- Unmet needs for chronic vein insufficiency
- Improving safety of vascular closure devices
- Patency improvement when performing treatments below the knee
- Carotid artery stenting
- Developments in imaging techniques and visualization requirements of medical devices
"The event was a great opportunity to hear thought leading physicians from other countries discuss their views on common problems we encounter in endovascular medicine. Exposure to potential solutions proposed by accomplished materials scientists added a perspective physicians do not typically have the benefit of, and greatly enhanced the lively exchange of ideas."
-Dr. Lindsay Machan, M.D., Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, Interventional Radiologist at Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Center
The outcome of the meeting was successful. Next to establishing an engaged clinical network, the meeting resulted in defining tangible innovation opportunities in the peripheral space, both short term as well as long term.
In addition, the team of DSM validated innovation concepts it is working on with the network, and defined a way forward to keep the dialogue active with the clinicians active.

Happy New Year!
My reflections of 2015 and my goals for 2016 have some similarity but at the same time are very different end goals that I want to achieve. We all tend to put the same goals at the top of the list each year like… Lose Weight, Eat Healthier, Exercise More. While those certainly are great goals to have, we tend to start out strong for the first few weeks and then by mid February we have slipped back into our old comfortable habits and convince ourselves that we will do it when the weather starts to warm up. Sound familiar? So what will make this year any different? Here are a few simple ideas to help you stay accountable for your New Year's Resolutions. 1. Set a goal 2.Write it down 3. Keep it where you can see it everyday. 4. Journal your thoughts. I have found some journals for you to check out here. Click on the links below for details.

Y'all know what "bless your heart" means, right? If you are not familiar with the South, or if you think you know what it means, but you are unaware of how you are wrong, let yr Wonkette, a southerner, sexplain it to you. "Bless your heart!" is an expression of something anywhere along the line between bemused pity and abject disdain. It can mean literally anything from, "Lord, how DO you tie your shoes in the morning?" to "I'm of half a mind to plant MY shoe inside your ass, how would you like that, you filthy piece of knock-off trash?" Both are valid feelings, and well within the bounds of "Bless your heart!" We don't know where the expression came from, but we're going to guess it's based on how our lord Jesus was always blessing people, regardless of whether He was healing them or fucking their shit up at the time.
And so, we come to this video of anti-Trump protesters outside Donald Trump's poorly attended Hitler rally in Nashville on Wednesday night. These very nice southern liberal Democratics came together to greet their Trump-supporting neighbor with a hearty chant of "Bless your heart!"
Now, knowing how well-mannered we Southerns actually
aren't are, we're going to guess the protesters' feelings were more along the lines of "Hot damn, you're dumb as a molten bag of dicks" or "FYI, glue is not food," rather than something impolite, ugly or violent. That's just not how we are.
The Trump guy responded by trying to chant "You're a snowflake!" in rhythm with the "Bless your heart!" shouters, but bless his heart, he just sounded like a common Donald Trump who doesn't know how to words good:

Someone has hacked my computer again and removed some posts so here is the latest one with some additions
How an email to my mother relates to the TAX EVASION SCHEMES like the Panama Papers, Shell Corporations and 501(c)(3) agreements of non-profits used TODAY and Fraudulent Grantor Trusts Schemes of YESTERDAY.
The Panama Papers, Shell Corporation and 501(c)(3) agreements of non-profits Tax Evasion Scheme of TODAY and the Fraudulent Grantor Trust Tax Evasion Scheme of YESTERDAY; both set up so wealthy clients could avoid paying taxes while using and abusing others.
This email below is to my mother whom I have been estranged from for over 30 years now. I am estranged from her since I sued her and my father for illegally and immorally using my social security number and setting up a fraudulent grantor trust with the legal assistance of their attorney whom I also sued in 1985 when I was 27 years old.
I refused to go along with their tax evasion scheme and they refused to end their scheme and compensate me for the damages they caused me.
***Accordingly, if I was going to maintain my independence, good morals and character; I had no choice but to sue to enforce my legal rights to have total control over my own social security number and relinquish their fraudulent control of it.
One intended purpose of the fraudulent grantor trust tax evasion scheme was for my parents, who were very wealthy, to be able to fraudulently and immorally pay taxes at my lower tax rate; not at their much higher tax rate.
Another intended purpose of the fraudulent grantor trust tax evasion scheme was for my parents and their attorney and also my sister, who was a trustee of my trust, whom I also sued, could all benefit at my expense while trying to CONTROL me. IRS thought I owed all the taxes due as a result of this fraudulent grantor trust which I knew nothing about for many years.
There were forged tax returns and other forged documents by my parents and others which disgusted and abhorred me beyond words as you can imagine.
But at least I discovered the horrible values and character of my parents and sister and reasonably and rationally chose to stay away from them because they refused and still refuse to change. My case helped change the fraudulent grantor trust laws also called the "Kiddie Trust" laws.
***I am so grateful I realized the truth and got away from them so they could not continue to harm me.
*** I don't care what lies any of them or others like them tell about me or what they think of me because I do not respect liars, cheaters and abusers and EXPECT them to lie, cheat and make up stories about others, including me. THIS IS WHAT THEY DO. They will lie whenever they think it is beneficial. I have been told professionally that they are very sick people.
NOW, I AM DEALING WITH my husband who with the cooperation of judges, law firms, religious organizations, executives, joint venture partners, the court-appointed therapist, non-profit schools, my husband's mistress, MY OWN CHILDREN and others; have hidden MY millions of dollars of assets from the community estate and income too which should have been distributed to me at the time of the divorce in 2008. (we are still married because my divorce contract is invalid and unlawful).
***REDISTRIBUTING income and other assets of those who are legally entitled to receive it is not only illegal but is also very evil.
***As ANY REASONABLE PERSON knows; a person is entitled to the fruits of his or her labor which includes a MOTHER who puts her career on hold and raises her children; taking care of the home and daily responsibilities too while providing a lot of love. This is all part of a marriage and sharing family responsibilities.
As my lawsuit clearly shows; corrupt, evil people, many with prestigious titles, have stolen from me since the time of my divorce the fruits of my labor and other assets. They are very sick people who will be held accountable. This is justice.
They are typically very angry people since they have sold their mind, heart and soul to the CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT and now have immoral values and despicable character and have stopped thinking. They just GO ALONG with the crowd even if they know this is wrong and will harm others, even themselves. They are also very angry people because they are living in a world without love. (Please note, having sex is not living in a world of love).
Think the millions of dollars of MY assets and income are hidden in active shell corporations owned by the community estate AND in 501(c)(3) agreements of SINAI TEMPLE, SADDLEBACK CHURCH and OTHER NON-PROFITS all which were illegally not disclosed during the divorce proceedings or thereafter?
When hidden active limited liability corporations (LLCs) owned by the community estate were disclosed by a private investigator who also presented the corporate records showing my husband as an officer of these LLCs; judges, law firms, my husband, the joint venture partners, executives, religious organizations, non-profit schools and others ignored their concealment.
Think the judges, law firms and the joint venture partners of these LLCs are involved in the corruption of hiding my assets and income as court transcripts clearly show they ignored repeatedly that they were omitted from the divorce contract?
As court transcripts show;
I was even called a VEXATIOUS LITIGANT because I was trying to disclose these facts and rectify my fraudulent divorce contract so I can be legally divorced and receive my legal interest in the community estate.
The private investigator, who disclosed these active hidden corporations in Delaware, Pennsylvania and California was harassed and abused by my husband with acts of malicious prosecution.
Malicious prosecution is a serious crime as any reasonable person knows because it undermines truth, justice and democracy.
***NOW, ONCE AGAIN I am fervently fighting to change the tax evasion laws along with legally designating Parental Alienation as a very serious crime of abuse as experts and any reasonable person know it should be denoted as such.
***Why do you think my now adult Children have refused to contact me for about 8 years even though I helped them thrive in many important ways, develop good values and character and we shared many fun times together as documents show.
Think my Children are being abused and threatened or have they become corrupt?
Well, here is the email I sent today to my mother whom I have had minimal contact with over the past 30 years:
It's a sad state of affairs when you do not even have a photo of your own wonderful Father. I have one of my father and you too even though both of you have shown by your actions your horrible morals, values and character and how you used me for your own corrupt benefits. I bet it is catching up with you because I could tell by your voicemail how full of anger you are, even with all of your money and your "titles." I guess you never learned from your wonderful father that without your good values and character you have NOTHING.
By the way, my Benjamin Garden is really blooming, more than in the photo.
Think all of the defendants in my lawsuit will be part of the PANAMA PAPERS or some other TAX EVASION SCHEME for hiding money and assets in offshore accounts or elsewhere to defraud me? Time will tell but I am sure I will prevail because I have truth on my side along with love in my heart.
It's a shame you never learned to have love in your heart.
As always, none of this is legal or any other advice; it is based upon my knowledge and experiences and also my very reasonable behavior.
Learn from people what to do as well as what NOT to do. Others can teach you valuable lessons if you focus your mind and act reasonably and morally and care about the wellbeing of others and not only yourself.

Tucked away in the Sussex countryside, there is a smaller relation of Kew Gardens, Wakehurst Place. I have visited these gardens a few times before, but this time I decided to capture some of the amazing colours I usually see. I have chosen what stood out to me, although there is a huge amount of plants of all shapes and sizes from around the world, these recently were the most vibrant.
Starting with these gorgeous pink flowers.
Moving onto this strong orange. I decided to make the background monochrome to really make this amazing orange stand out. Great for the bees still hunting nectar.
Next yellow
Now red
Now this tissue looking flower in white
and finally lilac.
What really amazes me here is that the harder and closer I look, the more I find. I do not often stay on the main route, I like to rummage and see what I can find, which sometimes can be the most amazing little things. Especially in Wakehurst Place.
Just a note, Wakehurst Place is free to National Trust members but, the parking is not. But still definitely worth a afternoons visit.

Help your elderly neighbor beat the Winter Blues:admin
- Help with the grocery shopping. Whether you have to go and get some of the groceries yourself or accompany them to the supermarket.
- Check their home for drafts. Draft prevention is an important factor in preventing colds and muscular pains, but it also helps to keep the electricity and gas bills down.
- Encourage them to go outdoors in natural… daylight when the weather is fine, especially at midday on bright days.
- Being cold makes people more depressed. It has been shown that staying warm can reduce the winter blues by half.
- A healthy diet is a great mood booster, giving more energy and keeping weight gain in check.
- Encourage them to take up extra activities.
- But most importantly, spend some time just talking and taking an interest. Everyone is affected by the weather.

If you're reading this, it's very likely you're already a fitness convert and know how to take care of your body. A lot of physically active individuals work hard to ensure their heart, lungs, muscles and bones are healthy and in optimal condition. But how many of you look after the biggest organ of your body…. your skin.
Our Incredible Skin
Skin accounts for one sixth of our bodyweight1. It's not just there to contain our body parts, it's an incredible organ which provides protection for our internal tissues, it is involved in regulating body temperature, it acts as a sensory organ detecting touch and temperature, it reduces the harmful effects of UV radiation, it has a role in the immune system in protecting us from disease and it produces Vitamin D1, 2.
What Happens to Skin as we Age?
As we get older, there are internal and external factors which affect how our skin ages. Skin ageing occurs at different rates in different people and this is largely determined by genetics. Throughout life, cell metabolism results in toxic reactive oxygen species which can damage skin cells1. Hormones are also important, particularly oestrogen in women. When oestrogen levels start to fall in middle-age, our skin integrity is affected1. In addition to this, skin cells can't divide as quickly as we age1. External factors which play a role in damaging our skin include the sun's UV rays, air pollution and cigarette smoke1.
Older skin becomes thinner, particularly in women, on faces, neck, upper chest and parts of the arms and hands1. The water and fat content of the skin is reduced, there is less collagen and elastin and there is decreased delivery of nutrients and oxygen1. All of these factors result in skin which may be wrinkled, fragile and saggy.
How to Look After Your Skin
Looking after your skin follows most of the same principles as those applied to leading a healthy life. Some of the best advice to follow is described below.
- Drink enough water. Water is essential for many of our body's functions. If we get dehydrated, this shows in our skin, making it appear dry and sallow. Drink enough so that your skin stays plump and radiant.
- Healthy diet. Our skin needs wholesome goodness just like the rest of our other vital organs. Choose a diet rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatories and make sure to include lots of fresh fruit and vegetables to get your daily doses of vitamins and minerals.
- Sleep well. Beauty sleep is important! We all know that if we haven't slept well it shows on our faces — we look tired and often have bags under our eyes. It is during deep sleep that our bodies repair damaged cells3. If this can't happen, the signs of ageing appear sooner.3
- Don't smoke. This goes without saying. As well as increasing the risk of many diseases, cigarette smoke damages our skin. This is yet another reason to avoid it at all costs.
- Sun cream. Wear sun cream every day throughout the year, not just in the summer. Sun cream helps to protect us from UV rays which can accelerate the ageing process. You should cover up as well when the sun is strong— wear a hat and sunglasses and avoid being exposed between the hours of 11am and 4pm. It's very important to do this as UV rays not only cause the skin to age, they also increase the risk of skin cancers.
- Good skin care routine. Choose a routine and products which work for you. This will vary between individuals. I like to have a quick and simple skin care routine that I can easily stick to.* I protect my skin during the day and allow it repair and recover at night. In the mornings I use a cleanser, toner, a drop of a serum containing hyaluronic acid, which holds on to water to make my skin look fuller, then I put on a lightweight sun cream with SPF50. At night I remove my make-up, then use a cleanser, toner, an antioxidant cream around my eyes, and finally serum and night cream containing retinoids, which are chemicals that have been proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles by enhancing the amount of collagen in the skin and encouraging cells to divide. 4 I also try to use an exfoliating face wash twice a week, to help get rid of any dead cells.
As with most things in life, prevention is better than cure. Look after your skin from an early age to keep it healthy and you'll reap the benefits in the future.

Divine Light has been an abstract concept in my mind for many years. One of my favorite scripture passages has been: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light upon my path." I loved Jesus' reminder that I, too, am a light for the world. I learned to use the healing energy of Reiki, which can be thought of as Light, and I imagined white light coming into my crown chakra during meditation. When I read The Lightworker's Way by Doreen Virtue, I thought of myself as one of this group because of my desire to heal the planet and its inhabitants.
You are the light of the world - so let your light shine!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Biotechnology and drug stocks closed lower Wednesday, with Abbott Laboratories losing ground on a 19% decline in first-quarter profit, but MedImmune shares gained on speculation of an acquisition announcement by early next week.
MedImmune MEDI, -0.07% added $1.61, or 3.6%, to end at $46.70.
The Gaithersburg, Md.-based biopharmaceutical company last week said its board had authorized management to explore a possible sale of the company, citing, in part, indications by "major pharmaceutical companies" that they might be interested in an acquisition.
"[The company is] looking to get this deal done over the weekend," CNBC's David Faber reported Wednesday, citing unnamed sources. See full story.
A call to the company seeking comment was not immediately returned.
But shares of Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD, +1.74% shed more than 1% to finish the session at $78.43, ahead of the company's first-quarter earnings results, due out after the close of markets.
The DJ Biotechnology Index lost 5.84 points to end at 3,201.08, while the DJ Wilshire Pharmaceutical Index gave back 8.07 points to close at 2519.60.
Drugmaker Abbott ABT, +0.28% said its earnings fell 19% from the first quarter of last year, hurt by a writedown related to its holdings in Boston Scientific Corp. BSX, +1.90% and acquisition costs, but the drugmaker raised its profit forecast for the year. See full story.
Abbott shares fell 1.6% to close at $58.03.
Shares of Avanir Pharmaceuticals AVNR, meanwhile, more than quadrupled to end at $5.19 after the company said a late-stage clinical trial evaluating its investigational drug Zenvia in diabetic neuropathic pain turned in positive results. The primary endpoint of the trial was based on the daily diary entries for the pain rating scale, and both Zenvia treatment groups had lower pain ratings than placebo patients, the company said.

Most people dread filling out insurance questionnaires or participating in interviews with underwriters. Not only can these tasks be tedious and time-consuming, but exploring how risky your life is can also be quite confronting.
Don't let your aversion to paperwork get in the way of finding a policy that could protect you and your family in your time of need, though. Instead, ease yourself into the process by taking a little time to read this article and familiarise yourself with the types of questions you'll likely be asked when applying for life insurance or income protection insurance.
General Application Questions
As with applications for most financial products, you will be asked to provide some general information about yourself, including:
- Your name & contact details
- Your residency/citizenship status
- What expenses you would like your life insurance policy to cover
- Whether you have insurance through any other funds
- If you've ever had an application for insurance cover declined
Health Questions
Because both life insurance and income protection insurance policies are designed to cover you in the unfortunate event that your health is severely compromised, insurers need to assess what your chances of having a serious medical issue in the future are.
Insurers do this by evaluating both your personal medical history and your family medical history.
Questions your insurer might ask include:
- What are your height and weight?
- What is your date of birth?
- What is your smoker status?
- Are you currently taking any medication?
- Do members of your immediate family suffer from any medical conditions (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc.)?
- Do you have any pre-existing medical conditions?
- If you do have a pre-existing medical condition, you may be asked to undergo a medical examination, or at the very least your insurer will ask several follow-up questions including:
- When were you diagnosed?
- Have you undergone specific testing for your condition (scans, blood tests, x-rays etc.)?
- When did you start receiving treatment?
- What treatment have you received/are you receiving?
- What kind of symptoms do you experience?
- How frequently do these symptoms occur?
- When was the last time you experienced symptoms?
- How much have you recovered?
- Who is your treating doctor?
- Has your condition forced you to take time off from work?
- Is your lifestyle affected by your condition?
It's important to know that having a pre-existing medical condition will not automatically disqualify you from getting an insurance policy, and you should always answer these questions as honestly and with as much detail as possible.
Lifestyle Questions
This is the part of the application/interview process that many people find embarrassing because of the personal nature of the questions involved. Just remember that insurers ask everyone these questions and they do need this information to create an accurate risk profile and to make sure you get the level of coverage you need.
Your insurer will ask questions about whether you've ingested harmful substances, such as:
- Do you drink alcohol, how often?
- Have you ever received medical treatment or drug abuse or alcohol dependency?
- Have you ever taken a drug other than medically directed?
- Have you ever taken recreational drugs? If so, please provide details.
- Often you will also need to provide details about your sex life. These questions could include:
- Have you engaged in sexual activity with someone who may be HIV positive?
- Have you ever had any sexually transmitted diseases?
Occupation & Finance Questions
Questions about your work are necessary not only because they provide vital information about how risky your day to day life is, but because they also help insurers determine how much cover you'll need if you become unable to work.
At the very least, you can expect an insurer to ask:
- What is your occupation?
- How long have you been working at your current job?
- Is your job sedentary, light manual work or heavy manual work?
- Do you work at heights over 10m, underground or underwater?
- What is your annual income before tax?
- How many hours a week do you work?
- What are your total assets and liabilities?
- Do you have any dependants?
Pastimes and Hobbies Questions
Insurers will ask several questions to identify if your activities outside of work could pose any risks, such as:
- Do you play any competitive sports (football, hockey, martial arts)?
- Do you participate in any risky hobbies (scuba diving, motorbike riding, aviation)?
- What are you travelling habits?
- If you do participate in activities that an insurer deems hazardous, you may have to answer follow-up questions like:
- How often do you participate in these activities?
- Where and for what duration do you participate?
- How experienced/qualified are you to participate?
- Have you experienced any injuries as a result of participating in these activities?
Duty of Disclosure
Most types of insurance policies are subject to a clause known as your "duty of disclosure".
What this often means is that you must tell your insurer about anything you know about that would affect whether they would insure you or on what terms they would offer you insurance.
Under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984, if you don't disclose something that would have affected an insurer's decision to approve your application or you misrepresent facts within your application, your insurer may have the right to either invalidate your policy altogether or not pay you your full benefit.
Having a duty of disclosure is very serious, and sometimes failing to disclose vital information can be seen as fraud.
Do You Have Questions of Your Own?
If you'd like to talk to someone about getting a life insurance or income protection insurance policy, get in touch with one of Curo Financial Services' insurance advisers. Our highly trained staff can answer any questions you have about the application process. Just call 1300 665 356817, email your query to email@example.com or fill out our convenient online contact form and we'll get in touch with you.

Gift Guide: Travel Lover
This gift guide was SO fun and easy to put together because I LOVE to travel. And I definitely have some things that I can't leave home without. Click on any of the images to shop!
First up: luggage. Having the right luggage makes a HUGE difference when traveling. I rarely check a bag, so I have gotten really good at fitting a ton in a carry on. I like a hard-sided carry on that has equal packing space on either side. Hard-sided suitcases are actually lighter weight and much easier to organize. I also love traveling with a backpack…it's really nice to throw something on my back rather than lugging a duffel around.
If I am traveling for longer and need to fit more, I will use a duffel instead of a backpack. I love this one and the price is great! It's also nice to have for a weekend trip where you don't want to take a rolling bag.
One essential to successful carry on packing: packing cubes. You can fit so much more and keep it all really organized. I also love that I can fill one packing cube with dirty clothes on my way home, which makes it so much easier to unpack.
A few more travel organizers that I don't leave home without: a cord organizer and a travel jewelry case. I particularly love this jewelry holder because it has a bunch of little pouches so nothing gets tangled.
These noise-cancelling headphones are the ultimate travel accessory. You don't realize how loud a plane is until you have these and can block it all out (and the crying baby, too).
I ALWAYS get cold on planes, so an absolute must-have for me is some kind of wrap and cozy socks. You cannot beat Barefoot Dreams…they are so soft, and I love that they are machine wash and dry!
Because sometimes people leave their window open or their light on!
I love a neck pillow, but I hate traveling with one because they are so bulky. This is an awesome, less bulky option.
The cutest travel nail kit with all the necessities!
One of my absolute must-haves for travel is a speaker. Bose makes the best quality and this size is perfect. This would make a great gift for a guy in your life!
There are so many great premium beauty items available in a travel size. I get pretty attached to my products, so I love stocking up on these kits.
Because sometimes you want a good cocktail mid-flight. These kits are so cute and come in a ton of options!
I HATE ironing, so I love traveling with a compact steamer.
A few things that are always in my travel bag: a mask, eye patches, and hand lotion.
Now….to plan a trip! Thanks for reading!

AI learns to gamble illogically like humans to predict our behaviour
AIs are becoming irrational gamblers. Artificial intelligence trained on human-made gambling decisions has picked up our illogical habits, but that could help machines better predict human behaviour.
The most rational gambling tactic is to pick the bet with the greatest average reward — the one that nets the most if repeated millions of times. But even when this option is clear humans tend to gamble irrationally, fixating on worst case scenarios and being overly averse to loss.
This irrationality, makes humans difficult to predict, affecting everything from our understanding of how …

Make a catapult that shoots far, but not high. Have a part on it that will stop the ball on it from flying too far forward.
In our experiment what we did was:
1. Place our catapult on the ground and mark the point to where the catapult was pulled back to as 0,0. This was because the ball started where the catapult was pulled down too, which was 0,0, and we wanted to have a parabola.
2. We launched our catapult 4 times, and found the point where it stopped.
3. To find the vertex, we launched it by a wall so we could mark the point where it was highest and mark it.
1.0= a (0-21.5) + 6.11
2.0= a (21.5-21.5) + 6.11
a= -6.11
h- 21.5
Starting point- 0,0
Ending point- 21.5, 0
Heights: 4 ft, 6 ft 3 in, 8 ft 5 in, 8 ft 6 in, 6 ft, 9 in

Best Birthday Ever!
I knew my 18th birthday would be special, not like "Super Sweet 16" extravagant, but significant. I would be an adult, right? I would be able to vote, sign a contract and do other adult things. But what really made this the best birthday ever was that I was privileged to spend it on the mission field. Specifically, I was part of a team of short term missionaries from Immanuel Baptist, The Other Side (a Christian based substance abuse program), and other churches in the U.S. and Brazil, who joined dedicated believers from First Baptist Church of Mocajuba in Brazil to share the Gospel with the Quilombola people of the Amazon Rainforest. Immanuel has a rich history of sending its members to fulfill the Great Commission. I have been on mission trips to Arlington, Texas, New York City, and Ghana, but this trip to the Amazon was a milestone in my life, both chronologically and spiritually. First, I was accompanied on this trip by my dad, an international mission trip newbie. He did go to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, but I'm one ahead on international trips. Seriously, I knew this trip would be special because I would be sharing it with my dad. Second, I would also be accompanied by Laurel Ann Harkins, one of my best friends. A cool coincidence was that her dad, Paul, was one of our strategy leaders for this trip. Third, I would celebrate my 18th birthday with a couple dozen of my new best friends, but I had no idea what that would entail. More on that later. Let me tell you about the trip first.
Our mission was to travel with a group from Mocajuba First Baptist Church and stay in a rustic camp along the Tocatine River. From that camp, we would walk and ride motorcycles to surrounding villages where we would share the story of Jonah. This is a long term strategy, as most of the people in the villages do not read. So, the mission team from Mocajuba has been sharing Bible stories on repeated trips for some time now. The story of Jonah introduces us to a perfect, yet merciful God, an initially reluctant missionary, and a repentant people. It was a great jumping off point for Gospel conversations. We also conducted a mini vacation Bible school at one village. The kids were beautiful and amazing and so willing to participate in the activities we planned for them.
I wanted to go on this trip because it was way outside my comfort zone. I don't like camping. I don't like the heat. I don't like bugs, and I am terrified of tarantulas and bats, both residents of our camp. The work was hard; we walked 9 kilometers to one camp and while the heat is not that much worse than an Arkansas summer, we were in it 24 hours a day. We may complain of 100 degree heat at home, but in reality, we're only in it for a few hours at most before we retreat to our air conditioned homes. Sleeping in hammocks was a fun experience, but I had to share my bedroom with a half dozen other missionary women and a huge tarantula on the ceiling. I thought the combination of close quarters, heat and that tarantula would conspire to take my sleep away but after all that walking I was asleep in seconds.
The trip was hard, but rewarding. Pastor Andre picked me to share the Jonah story at our first house in the jungle. I was nervous, but the Holy Spirit (and a lot of practice on the plane), gave me the confidence to share. All that week we were on mission for the Kingdom. In fact, one team led their taxi driver to Christ on the way to the second airport in Sao Paulo. Lesson learned, always be on mission.
We spent 4 days and three nights in the jungle. I saw the hand of God at work in many ways. One small example was on Saturday night after the "church" service where we invited our village neighbors to church and children's activities, my dad was sick and running fever. He asked our team to pray for him. One of our members even anointed him with oil. The laying of hands worked. His fever broke during the night and the next morning, our last in the jungle, through another divine appointment, he was able to share the Jonah story with 21 villagers at once, include the village leader. After that, Pastor Andre prayed for them all and we were welcomed back any time by the "mayor." Then we loaded our boat to return to Mocajuba. My dad lost his voice on the boat ride, but we were finished with that part of the trip. God's timing is always perfect. Speaking of divine appointments, the last morning we were in Belam before our flight home, we were at a huge outdoor market just doing tourist stuff. At one booth a young man told me a certain piece of jewelry was supposed to represent hope. That opened the door to me sharing the true hope of the Gospel with him and presenting him a salvation bracelet. Lesson learned, always be on mission.
Okay. Now to the best birthday ever. On Sunday, November 12, 2017, on my 18th birthday, the ladies from Mocajuba First Baptist put a candle in our sweet cornbread breakfast cake. Pastor Andre said a birthday blessing and then asked my dad to speak. It's a tradition in Brazil, but my dad was not prepared. Even so, while I don't remember everything he said, I remember how he made me feel—cherished, unique, worthy, confident, and most of all loved unconditionally. I also got to share Christ, hold a parrot, tell the story of Jonah, ride on a cool river boat that Immanuel helped purchase, pet a wild dolphin, a WILD DOLPHIN, get another blessing at the Sunday night service at First Baptist Church of Mocajuba, and last but not least, attend an end of mission trip barbecue/impromptu 18th birthday party with the whole mission team and others from the church. There they presented me with the most beautiful cake and even presents from some of the girls my age who had gone on the trip. Dad even brought along cards signed by mom and Jett. Like I said, BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! Lesson learned, living life on mission is the only way to live. This week was truly the definition of living life more abundantly through Christ.

Wearables is shaping up to be an even bigger market space this year, with many of today's top electronics manufacturers introducing or having already introduced either their first or a new addition to their lines of wearables to the market. GeeksPhone is one of those companies which will be announcing their very first wearable called the GeeksMe, scheduled for a release sometime closer to summer and reported to be around June or July of this year. The wearable from the designs looks more like a smartwatch than a fitness tracker, and it it'll apparently hold a good portion of the functionality that users could find on both fitness trackers and smartwatches including sleep monitoring and notification alerts.
Geeksphone is venturing into the wearables space by offering a device that so far, does two things that not many other wearables or fitness trackers do. In addition to the two things we mentioned above, the GeeksMe is being developed to also track your ecological footprint, as well as your sexual performance. We'll talk about the sex tracker first as this is the less common thing you'd find in such a device. According to the team at GeeksPhone who is developing the GeeksMe, they are working on a special set of algorithms that power the sex tracker functionality which when activated during wear, will be able to track different things like the number of times a day or week you have sex, the duration, the calories burned and "other useful information." The idea behind it is to promote a healthier lifestyle and sexual relationship with your partner while giving you the ability to monitor the different associated values.
As for the eco-tracker functionality, the basis of this is pretty simple as it aims to help you keep track of how your lifestyle impacts the environment so you can minimize your carbon footprint. In addition to these two features as well as the sleep monitor and notifications, the GeeksMe will also track your steps, distance, calories burned, and you can use it to set reminders and alarms. The GeeksMe will sport a monochrome OLED display with 12 bi-color LED's surrounding the screen. The GeeksMe will also support Bluetooth of course so you can link it up to your smartphone, but it won't have embedded GPS, and will instead use the Bluetooth link to your device for the GPS location needed for some of the features, like the eco-tracking for example. So far GeeksPhone says the design is not yet finalized, but it is interested in making the GeeksMe as fashionable as it will be functional so we can probably expect it to look somewhat stylish. So far there is no word on a price or where GeeksPhone will launch the device.

Invoking surging migration, national-populist movements and their allied governments all over the world have legitimated xenophobic policies and given rise to neo-sovereigntist confrontations that undermine international cooperation. It is impossible to overstate the harshness with which those seeking entry into at best indifferent, at worst overtly hostile, States have been treated. But the unending stream of discouraging accounts is punctuated by reports by NGOs, individual volunteers, and public authorities seeking to succor migrants in distress. Conflicting trends are evidently at work. While some States threaten, and, at times, implement, individual solutions, appeals for coordinated approaches amongst States that supplement or even supplant the existing, inadequate migratory regime gain traction. At the same time, stakeholders mobilize to press for solutions that take into account the human rights of migrants and refugees. In this context, as Michael Doyle recalls in his introduction to this issue, initiatives have taken shape that may presage a fairer and more open regulatory framework, although they may also carry the risk of retrogression. Inter alia, the United Nations New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants has given rise to processes intended to lead to two new Global Compacts, one for refugees and the other for safe, orderly and regular migration, as well as to the development of guidelines for the treatment of migrants in vulnerable situations, all to be agreed on in 2018.

So I think I stole this Youtube Tuesday thing from one of Jason's friends. I don't remember, but I want to say officially the idea was not mine.
That said, after last week's waste of space and time (i.e., Bonzo Britney), I think I'll post something a little more important this week: boobs. More specifically, the normal use of boobs as feeders of halflings. And given the recent ridiculousness of Applebees, I'll post this clip of the nurse-in. It's actually kind of headachey how quickly it moves, but the point is made.


text: LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Diageo PLC DGE, -0.16% DEO, -0.39%, the U.K. alcoholic beverages group, said its first-quarter performance supports its previous view that fiscal-year organic sales should rise at a rate similar to last year's 4% rise and organic operating profit should rise at a rate similar to last year's 7% growth. Diageo said it's continuing to gain share in the growing spirits category in North America, but European conditions are "difficult," with volume lower and the decline in ready-to-drink segment hurting sales growth. In its international region, volume growth remains strong and Korea, Taiwan and Nigeria are making progress in line with expectations. Rising oil prices have led to higher costs, but that cost pressure will be contained within its overall guidance. Due to recent dollar moves, currencies are expected to impact the fiscal year by 45 million pounds, rather than the previous view of a 50 million pound view.

Paul opens this letter to the Corinthians in standard fashion, introducing himself and giving his bona fides (he does what he does because God desired it so and was sent out (apostle="sent one") on the Lord's behalf. Sosthenes is added here as part of the authorship of the letter. I suspect he was the guy who delivered the letter and just tacked his name on it for good measure, but that has no grounding in Biblical or historical fact.
As Paul often does, he gives away some of what the letter is going to be about in his description of the folks he is writing to. Here, the people in Corinth are described as those, "…sanctified in Christ Jesus" and "…called to be saints together…" We shouldn't be surprised, then, to see the notion of sanctification (making holy, righteousness, etc.) and unity show up as things he wants to focus on.
Paul gives thanks for the Corinthian church in a way that mirrors his other letters and is almost always actually a thanks to God for what He has done in the community of believers that are in focus. In Corinth, Paul is grateful that they have heard the good news and received the "knowledge" (mind that, it'll be important in a minute) which is sufficient to provide all the necessary gifts that come from the Spirit. Similarly, it is sufficient to sustain them until Jesus returns, guiltless in the site of God who orchestrated this whole thing and allowed them to be saved through Jesus.
Then Paul hits his first appeal – unity. He wants, "…all of you [to] agree, and that there be no divisions among you." There, the hint we got in 1:2 pays off just 8 verses later. It seems as though people are segmenting themselves by which great steward brought them to the faith (likely in a vain attempt to make themselves look good. It's a story to tell people you met Jesus through Billy Graham. If you tell them you met Jesus through Ben Fust no one cares. There's some pride and a wrong measure of greatness in here that is deeper than just an argument as to whether you follow Paul or Apollos, who was reported to be a big deal in the New Testament even though he really wasn't.)
In general, the church at Corinth is starting to allow some of the value systems outside of the Kingdom to influence measures of value, status and worth within the Kingdom. Obviously, this can't stand and Paul reminds them that there is indeed only one Jesus. He is who we follow, it was he who was crucified, it is he who we are baptized into, he who provides the example of righteousness. Paul even seems to be happy that he didn't baptize most of these folks so that he can't be pegged for being part of this weird mess.
His reaction does raise some questions ("For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel…") I'd say that it's a stretch to try and use this verse as an attempt to somehow diminish the importance of baptism, that's not the point. I think it's more of Paul saying that others do the baptizing, his job was delivery of good news in this situation. Note that he assumes all of them are baptized when he asks if they were baptized in the name of Paul. It wasn't a question of if they were baptized, it was a reminder of by whom and for whom.
Before we get too far from it, don't miss our gal Chloe. First of all, it's a lady who we get by name who not only is familiar and interacting with Paul about the Corinthian church but she also has "people". It infers too much to assign her some sort of wealth or social status for having people, they could be friends, family, or folks from her household. They could also be disciples of hers (although her followers would seem to not have the same issues as the other groups because they are informing Paul of the wrong focus and behavior.)
Now, to the meat of the rest of this chapter. When Paul talks about preaching the gospel, he continues the reorientation of what the world values vs. what the Kingdom values. The Good News Paul brings wasn't what the world would consider elegant wisdom; the power of the message is its truth, simplicity and outlandishness. He spends the next few verses re-emphasizing that fact. Basically, line up those who supposedly have knowledge (the wise, the scribe, the debater) and see how the Good News makes fools of them. And it is through what they believe is foolish that people are being saved, both the Jews and the Gentiles. What's the message? Christ crucified. For all the blowharding, arguing, temple sex, imperial worship, philosophy and whatever else goes on around them, the message of Christ crucified is what saves.
To continue the point, Paul calls attention to the specific circumstances of the folks in Corinth. He says, "Look at you fellas, you all weren't wise or powerful or noble when you got into the Kingdom. And yet here you are." God chose what is foolish (ahem, these folks; plus, you know, kings dying on crosses to save everyone, being great by being a servant, not storing up money,) all kinds of things the world would consider foolish.
Basic application for us is the same for them: remember where you belong. You will be different than the rest of the world, it's kind of the nature of living in a different Kingdom. Also, the values of a fallen earth don't play here. Jesus measures greatness differently and these notions of status or worth that you are deriving from the wrong sources do nothing but separate you unnecessarily. (I might note that excessive focus or deriving status on your particular church community runs the same risk. If you are deriving more pride around what church you go to than the identity you get from Jesus, that's a problem.)
So what is wisdom? Jesus. "And because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption…" Our pride, then, isn't in who first shared with us the Good News (Cephas, Apollos, whoever). It isn't in the church we go to or our own knowledge or wisdom or righteousness. Where we boast, we boast in the Lord.
