Magnetic Particle Inspection or MPI is a process for detecting surface and subsurface anomalies in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. The process involves putting a magnetic field into the test object. Flaws will be detected when the magnetic field flowing through the test object is interrupted and there is flux leakage. Ferrous iron particles are then applied to the object in a dry or wet suspension, and will be attracted to the flux leakage. This step-by-step process includes: Pre-cleaning of test object (to ensure it is free of rust, dust, oil, and grease), introduction of magnetic field, application of ferrous iron particles, and interpretation of indications. MPI testing methods offered by Steel City NDT LLC include:
- Dry Magnetic Particle – Iron Oxide
- Wet Fluorescent Magnetic Particle (oil or water based) – Iron Oxide
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) also utilizes either a Direct (DC) or Alternating (AC) current. Alternating current is most commonly used to detect surface discontinuities. Direct current is used to detect both surface and subsurface discontinuities. Direct current, however, is limited on very large cross-sectional parts in terms of how well the part is able to be magnetized. Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) can also be performed by utilizing several different pieces of equipment. Equipment includes:
- Wet Horizontal MPI Machine – Mass production inspection machine that contains a head and tail stock, which has an induction coil centered between them. These are typically customized to a specific application.
- Mobile Power Packs – Custom-built magnetizing power supplies which are used in wire wrapping applications such as coils.
- Magnetic Yoke – Handheld device that induces a magnetic field between the two prods on the yoke. This is the most commonly used device for on-site Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI). While performing the inspection, the yoke is rotated 90 degrees for each inspection area to detect both horizontal and vertical discontinuities.
The information on this page is not all inclusive of the method but is rather a high-level overview of our processes.
What is the Basic Principle of Magnetic Particle Testing?
To properly understand what Magnetic Particle Testing/Inspection (MPT/I) is, it helps to be familiar with two processes: magnetic flux leakage testing and visual testing. Both of these types of testing play a role into MPT, focusing on the example of a magnet.
For example, using a generic bar magnet implies that there is a magnetic field surrounding it. From this, we can define a pole as a place where the magnetic energy making up the field enters or exits the magnet, giving the two options of a north pole or a south pole.
No matter how many times you break up this magnet in half, there will be an infinite number of north and south poles that can be created due to each separate object retaining the characteristics that make it a magnet. However, if you were to crack a magnet without fully breaking it, this would spread out the magnetic field due to what is called a flux leakage field, a place where the air leaking through the magnetic field cannot support the weight of the field.
A way to address flux leakage fields is to sprinkle iron particles on top of a magnet, as the particles will gravitate towards the crack in addition to the North and South Poles. This is where MPT is introduced, as it is a type of testing that involves doing just that to examine if there are any defects on a magnet's surface.
What is the Magnetic Particle Inspection Procedure?
MPI is a way to test the quality of the surface in ferromagnetic objects made up of cobalt, nickel, iron, and similar materials. It is known for being a very intuitive process, not requiring much preparation beforehand and only having two variants: Wet Magnetic Particle Testing (WMPT) and Dry Magnetic Particle Testing (DMPT). Though they're different processes, they begin with the same premise: a magnetic current is run through the component with the goal of showing any defects in the material.
A defect can be noticed because when the current runs through it, instead of just passing it on, it will deflect it outward. After this is done, metal particles can be spread over it with the goal of them gravitating naturally towards the place where the gap is in the material.
If done properly, you'll be able to find all of the gaps within the material pretty easily. This is why MPI is used so often, as it is the quickest way to detect flaws within any given materials.
Using MPI isn't always possible, though, as a material will not work with the procedure if it is not ferromagnetic. In addition to this, the magnetic field being tested must also be strong on its own or else the aforementioned particles won't distribute themselves properly. Once you do MPI on a specific material, it must be demagnetized, making it an unappealing process for certain situations.

Attention Investors whose PAN & KYC is not updated with us – click here for more details
The investment objective of the Scheme is to achieve long term capital appreciation by investing in a maximum of 30 quality mid-cap companies having long-term competitive advantages and potential for growth. However, there can be no assurance or guarantee that the investment objective of the Scheme would be achieved.
*Represents the percentage change with respect to the previous day's NAV.

Medium to Long Term
Investors who like to invest with a Long-termwealth creation view.
*subject to overall limit of 30 companies
Type of Scheme : Mid CapFund - An open ended equity scheme predominantly investing in mid cap stocks
Category : MidCap Fund
Definitionof Mid Cap : 101st -250th company in terms of full market capitalization
Benchmark : Nifty Midcap 100 TRI
Methodology and illustration of sale and repurchase price of units
a) Methodology of calculating sale price: The price or NAV, an investor is charged while investing in an open-ended scheme is called sale or subscription price. Pursuant to SEBI Circular dated June 30, 2009, no entry load will be charged by the scheme to the investors. Therefore, sale or subscription price = Applicable NAV (for respective plan and option of the scheme)
Example: An investor invests Rs. 10,000/- and the current NAV is Rs. 10/- then the purchase price will be Rs. 10/- and the investor receives 10,000/10 = 1000 units
b) Methodology of calculating repurchase price of units: Repurchase or redemption price is the price or NAV at which an open-ended scheme purchases or redeems its units from the investors. It may include exit load, if applicable. The exit load, if any, shall be charged as a percentage of Net Assets Value (NAV) i.e. applicable load as a percentage of NAV will be deducted from the "Applicable NAV" to calculate the repurchase price. Therefore, repurchase or redemption price = Applicable NAV * (1- Exit Load, if any)
Example: If the applicable NAV is Rs. 10 and a 2% exit load is charged, the redemption price per unit will be calculated as follows: = Rs. 10 * (1-0.02) = Rs. 10 * (0.98) = Rs. 9.80

Psoriasis is an immune disease & the cause is unknown. It is unfotunately a condition that you have to learn to live with for the rest of your life.
There Is No Cure, But There Are Amazing Treatments.
Essentially your immune system mistakes cell markers, especially on the skin as a foreign or unwanted substance. It then proceeds to attack the skin. Psoriasis is not contagious.
Psoriasis is though to be a genetic component which is most likely in people who contain certain microscopic cell markers that are not present in everyone. It is also linked to various environmental factors such as stress and lack of oxygen, temperature and many more. So don't blame your parents just yet!
If you want to learn more about psoriasis elsewhere in the body, then follow this link to Wikipedia which has a great comprehensive resource page to at least get your started in your treatments.
Foot Psoriasis:
Psoriasis on the foot can drastically decrease the quality of your life. It has been known to stop people from wearing sandal, working and playing sports. In severe cases it has even stopped people from walking altogether, leading to increased odds of depression and social isolation. Don't let this become you, there are treatments available that must be aggressively pursued!
Foot Psoriasis Symptoms:
- Thick Skin.
- Cracking.
- Splitting.
- Redness.
- Inflammation.
- Silver, white scales.
- Swelling.
- Blister or vesicle-like swelling.
Prevention of Foot Psoriasis:
A decrease in the following activities has been shown to decrease the likelihood of psoriasis outbreaks and severity. Thus decreasing these may be able to increase your odds of living a comfortable lifestyle.
Avoid the following:
- Excessive alcohol consumption.
- Smoking.
- Fragrances.
- Harsh soaps.
- Using a knife or pumice stone on inflamed skin.
- Tattoos.
- Decrease emotional stress.
- Decrease physical stress- such as temperature extremes.
- Many medications can cause flare-ups.
Foot Psoriasis Treatment:
Follow the link for each of the following specific treatment guides. Keep in mind that I am working from the mind frame that I base my observations based on cheapest effective medications before more expensive & perhaps more effective medications.
1) Skin Treatment
2) Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment
3) Toenail Psoriasis Treatment.
More coming as soon as I can get to it. Sorry about the delay!
Good Luck!

Some folk say that a new year means little more than a changing date, but most people see this time is an opportunity for renewal. For those seeking to better themselves this year, I hope that you all succeed in fulfilling your oaths—and we shall drink to your honor this night, as we celebrate! In the meantime, I wish to share several stanzas from Hávamál, or Sayings of the High One. This poem, which is narrated both by an unknown poet and Odin himself, concerns social wisdom, common sense, moderation, friendship, and even the mysteries of runes, spells, and charms.[1]
Although it is never a harmful thing to reflect upon the wisdom offered by this Eddic poem, Odin's advice is particularly pertinent to keep in mind as we pledge oaths to ourselves regarding self-improvement. And so, with that in mind, I have personally selected a few of my favorite stanzas to help guide us in the coming year; hopefully some of you will profit from these words in the coming year, as I have in years past.
Don't be boastful.
5. About his intelligence no man should be boastful,
rather cautious of mind;
when a wise and silent man comes to a homestead
blame seldom befalls the weary;
for no more dependable a friend can a man ever get
than a store of common sense.
Broaden yourself.
18. Only a man who wanders widely
and has journeyed a great deal knows
what sort of mind each man controls;
he who's sharp in his wits.
Drink in moderation (and have self-control).
19. Let no man hold onto the Cup, but drink
mead in moderation,
let him say what's necessary or be silent;
no man will scold you
because you go off early to bed.
No one is perfect.
22. He's a wretched man, of evil disposition,
the one who makes fun of everything;
he doesn't know the one thing he ought to know:
that he is not devoid of faults.
Don't overthink things (worry less).
23. The stupid man stays awake all night
and worries about everything;
he's tired out when the morning comes
and all's just as bad as it was.
No one knows everything…
26. The foolish man thinks he knows everything
if he cowers in a corner;
he doesn't know what he can say in return
if people ask him questions.
…so don't pretend like you do.
27. The foolish man in company
does best if he stays silent;
no one will know that he knows nothing,
unless he talks to much;
but the man who knows nothing does not know
even if he is talking too much.
Watch what you say…
29. Quite enough baseless blather comes
from the man never silent;
a quick tongue, unless it's held in check,
often talks itself into trouble.
…and don't mock others.
31. Wise that man who retreats
when one quest is insulting another;
the man who mocks at a feast doesn't know for sure
whether he shoots off his mouth amid enemies.
Be grateful for what you have…
36. A farm of your own is better, even if small,
everyone's someone at home;
though he has two goats and a twig-roofed room,
that is still better than begging.
…and what you are given.
39. I never found a generous man, nor one so unstingy with food,
that he wouldn't accept what was given;
or one so open-handed with possessions
that he disliked a gift when offered.
Always be prepared.
38. From his weapons on open land
no man should step one pace away;
for it can't be known for certain, out on the road,
when a man might have need of his spear.
Appreciate your friends and treat them well.
44. You know, if you've a friend whom you really trust
and from whom you want nothing but good,
you should mix your soul with his and exchange gifts,
go and see him often.
Know the importance of others.
47. I was young once, I travelled alone,
then I found myself going astray;
rich I thought myself when I met someone else,
for man is the joy of man.
Learn from others.
57. One brand takes fire from another, until it is consumed,
a flame's kindled by flame;
one man becomes clever by talking with another,
but foolish through being reserved.
Nothing comes easily, so work hard and do your best.
59. He should get up early, the man who has few workers,
and set about his work with thought;
much gets held up for the man sleeping in the morning;
wealth is half-won by activity.
Present your best self, even if it's humble.
61. Washed and fed, a man should ride to the Assembly,
though he may not be very well dressed;
of his shoes and breeches no man should be ashamed,
nor of his horse, though he doesn't have a good one.
Be punctual.
66. Much too early I've come to many places,
but sometimes too late;
the ale was all drunk, or sometimes it wasn't yet brewed,
the unpopular man seldom hits on the right mark.
There's always some good to be found in life.
69. No one is completely wretched, even if he has bad luck;
one man is blessed with sons,
another with kinsmen, another has enough money,
another feels good from his deeds.
Wealth is not everything.
75. The man who knows nothing does not know this:
that many are fooled by money;
one man is rich, another is not rich,
he should not be blamed for that.
Life is short, so live it well.
76. Cattle die, kinsmen die,
the self must also die;
but the glory of reputation never dies,
for the man who can get himself a good one.

Article by Helene Wechsler, MD and Michelle Simon, PhD, ND for NaturalPartners.com
My two sons are now grown, but I fondly remember the "back to school" days when we went to the store to get a long list of supplies and new clothes. I also remember dreading the seemingly endless array of germs that they would be exposed to every day, and often bring home.
Our immune system is amazingly complex. When working properly, it identifies and attacks foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. However, our children enter the world with an inexperienced immune system and, over time, build up their immunity by fighting these germs. Most pediatricians consider it normal for elementary school-age children to have six to eight colds a year.
A poor diet, chronic stress, and not getting enough sleep or exercise can result in a weakened immune system. Here are some tips I picked up along the way in an attempt to keep my children healthy.

Stem and Digression
Images © Kent C. Behrens
Kent C. Behrens' photographic art has been recognized for over two decades in many U.S. exhibitions and publications. His focus extends from plants and animals to architectural imagery and visual abstraction, sometimes incorporating unconventional processes such as Polaroid image transfers and emulsion lifts. Mr. Behrens' work appears in museum, corporate, and private collections, botanical center exhibits, and in such venues as The Sun, a U.S. journal of contemporary photography, literature, and essays. Though long devoted to traditional silver print photography and process, he has recently explored digital realms. Born into a Chicago family of informal painters and photographers, he has served as a college faculty member, an urban planner, and graphic designer. He lives in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A.
美國藝術家肯特·貝倫斯從事攝影藝術二十餘年,作品見於多種攝影展和出版物。他的興趣涉及植物、動物、建築和抽象影像,有時也做非傳統的寶麗來移印、移膜。貝倫斯先生的作品常在博物館、植物園展出,曾刊於《太陽》(The Sun)等美國當代攝影及文學雜誌,並為商業機構和私人所購買、收藏。儘管長期專注於傳統的銀鹽攝影與暗房作業,他近年來亦開始數碼領域的探索。貝倫斯在芝加哥長大,從小受到愛好繪畫和攝影的家人薰陶。曾從事攝影教學、城市規劃和平面設計等工作。現居美國內布拉斯加州奧馬哈。
Mr. Behrens' art, whatever its photographic technique, often features plant life in considering the antithesis between rootedness and outward force. He also seeks to navigate the parallel tension between continuity and digression, a dynamic observable in most growth patterns, including human ideation. Hence the title for this sequence of images. Notably, from his earliest work, he has been intrigued how figures in classical Chinese and Japanese calligraphy may be felt before being understood.

A normal everyday housewife and mother, Michele's desire to bring out the best in every woman birthed "Choose2Change".
Having overcome obstacles from her childhood Michele sees herself as the ultimate overcomer. When her parents were divorced at the age of 5, Michele was suddenly forced with choices and changes. After an almost debilitating car accident in 1985, Michele overcame all odds and walked again. "I can't remember anything from the accident or the 3 week hospital stay that followed, but I do remember the 6 months of lying in bed, an absolute nightmare for a 16 year old cheerleader!" Duncan says. Experimental surgeries would follow only to find out that she was to become a case study in the medical books and a definite miracle according to medical standards.
Michele met her prince charming in May of 1991, and the two became engaged in December of the same year. A wedding followed in March of 1992 and Michele's world would never be the same. She and her husband Keith have faithfully served in full-time ministry ever since that day. Michele's desire is to help others. She states, "It's what we do, it's who I am. When people make Godly choices and changes in their life, they become one step closer to the destiny they were created for. All of us have a destiny, it's a journey called life that leads us there."
Over the past 19 years she has worked in the local church as pastor's wife, audio director, counselor, youth leader, women's ministries director and confidant to many. In the corporate world she has worked as television producer, event planner, talent coordinator, audio and video editor only to name a few. She contends that her most important job will always be wife to Keith and mother to Judah.
Michele currently holds an AA in Christian Counseling, a BA in Bible and an Masters degree in Ministry from Evangel University and is working as an advocate for Choose2Change, a nationwide platform created to help bring awareness to the significance of daily choices and the consequences they hold. As Mrs. DC International 2014, Michele has the opportunity to herald the message to women of all ages, and backgrounds that the choices you make today directly affect your tomorrow!

[top of page 4 of handout]Habituation as discussed by Humphrey in The Nature of Learning (1933)
A shadow thrown on sea urchin makes it raise its spines; but if the stimulus is repeated 3 or 4 times visible reaction ceases. This has been called 'aclimatisation', 'accommodation', or 'negative adaptation' and is an example of characteristic biological equilibrium.
Habituation is ubiquitous: it is found in amoeba and other single-celled animals; hyrda, sea anemones worms, parasitic grubs, barnacles, larva of mosquitos bivalve molluscs, snails. (water snails under trees moving in wind ignore shadows, but the same species where no trees very reactive.) many vertebrates and insects; (cows on railway embankments; humans living in cities don't notice traffic noise.)
BUT NOT ALL SPECIES USE THE SAME mechanism – apparent habituation can be found in species with no nervous system. It can be in receptor systems, or 'central'.
An Experiment (Humphrey, 1933 p 136)
Habituation is distinguishable from response fatigue in a physiological sense in this instance, but not always, especially if no nervous system.
[bottom of page 4 of handout]Thompson and Spencer (1966) Used hindlimb flexion reflex of the acute spinal cat, and list 9 characteristics of habituation they found.
1. Repeated stimulation decreased response.
2. Then no stimulation spontaneous recovery over time.
3. If 1. & 2. repeated habituation becomes quicker (long term Habituation)
4. More frequent stimulation more rapid habituation
5. Weaker stimulation more rapid or stronger Habituation
6. Further stimulation after Habituation delayed recovery of response.
7. Habituation generalizes to similar stimuli.
8. A separate stimulus response recovery (=dishabituation).
9. If 8. repeated dishabituation disappears.
Pinsker et al (1970)
Used the sea-slug Aplysia: gill withdrawal reflex in response to a jet of seawater - this habituated over 10 trials at 3-min intervals.
Results - 6 of the above 9 characteristics were found; missing 3, 6 & 7. (with shorter inter-trial intervals, 3. can sometime be observed - Castellucci and Kandel, 1976)
The Mechanism in Aplysia is that sensory pre-synaptic terminals release progressively less neurotransmitter, and this produces decrements in the excitatory post-synaptic potentials (EPSPs). When there is dishabituation, this is because activity of the sensory pre-synaptic terminals is facilitated. (Castellucci and Kandel, 1976; Kandel, 2001).
Sokolov (1975: see Gray, 1976, p.6 and Walker, 1987, p.39-41, or Green 1987, chapter 7) [page 5 of handout]
Sokolov studied adult human Ss. Uses the term "extinction of the orienting reflex" to refer to habituation. The orienting reflex is not modality specific (up to a point) but a generalised response to novelty. It is measured by –
1. Increased sensory sensitivity (and attention?)
2. Drop in skin resistance (GSR)
3. Reduced alpha rhythms in the EEG
4. Constriction of peripheral blood vessels.
5. Cephalic vasodilation (opposite to 4. in the head.
6. Lowering of respiration and pulse rates.
These things don't happen to an habituated stimulus.
Human Ss show the 'missing stimulus effect': there is dishabituation if a stimulus is absent in a normally regular sequence. This shows some kind of pre-attentive extrapolation from previous experience. Habituation in human subjects is related to attention and memory.
Habituation in Pre-Verbal Human Infants
(see also Year 2 course in Developmental Psychology)
For visual stimuli direction of gaze can be monitored by independent observers or video cameras
Cornell (1974)
Bundy et al (1982)
Kellman & Spelke (1983)
Habituation techniques are often used to investigate more elaborate cognitive functioning in human infants. E.g.:
Csibra, G. (2001).
Csibra, G. (2003)

There are different meanings of the term "natural" when it comes to getting bodybuilding supplements. There are many experts in this field who are of the belief that natural bodybuilding means avoiding the use of different varieties of bodybuilding supplements and opting for a regimen that involves workout routine and proper diet. Nevertheless, due to the fact that many athletes are of the view that certain bodybuilding supplements are extremely necessary for accomplishing fitness goals, here, we will have a look at some of the best natural bodybuilding supplements.
Herbs as Bodybuilding Supplements
There are great many natural products or herbs that can actually help in boosting energy and in building muscle mass. Different herbs can be mixed together and can be taken in the form of a morning smoothie. They are also available as tablets in the market. Some of the best herbs that can be used as bodybuilding supplements are as follows:
Ashwagandha is also called Indian Ginseng and there are good reasons behind this herb being called so. It works in the fork of an all-natural version of several bodybuilding substances that can be of good help in lifting the levels of testosterone in the body offering people good stamina. It is a natural bodybuilding tonic that is extremely beneficial for the health of the heart. It also decreases recovery time and helps an individual to bounce back faster after strenuous exercise. Popular herbal bodybuilding supplements in this category include Ashwagandha Pak and Ashwagandha Leham.
This natural bodybuilding supplement is a favorite with professional athletes and bodybuilders. It is rich in its content of antioxidants that help in repairing cell damage. It is also one of the richest sources of folates, fiber, vitamin A, C, E and K and chromium. Possessing extremely high doses of amino acid asparagines, this magic herb absorbs excessive salt and water. When this excessive salt and water gets eliminated from the body in the form of urine, you get a ripped and well-toned body.
Gokhru is a popular bodybuilding herbal supplement that is widely used by sportspersons for gaining endurance and muscle mass. The herbal supplement called Gokhru Pak is considered one of the best bodybuilding supplements offering a fresh dose of oxygen for pumping up the circulation of blood and thus nourishing the tissues. Gokhru offers a sustained and supercharged boost of energy to its users.
Safed Musli
This is yet another popular nutritional supplement that strengthens the muscles by supporting the procedure of tissue formation. One of the best bodybuilding supplements in this category is Musli Pak that helps in building stamina and is also useful in increasing muscle mass and power.
All natural bodybuilding supplements are generally made of different substances that the body creates in a natural manner. It is always very important for you to replenish your body's requirement for natural substances by having natural bodybuilding supplements.

How much will your wealth be worth tomorrow?
An annual rise of 5.5% in the Coutts Luxury Price Index (CLPI) highlights the 'hidden' inflation that can erode your wealth.
6 min read
Most Popular
If you enjoy the finer things in life, the prices you pay are rising faster than mainstream inflation implies.
Our research shows that prices for luxury goods and services are rising much faster than the latest inflation rate released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The Coutts Luxury Price Index (CLPI) shows that luxury items are increasing at a rate of 5.5% compared to the latest Consumer Prices Index (CPI) data released by the ONS on 23 May 2018 of 2.4%.
Anyone buying luxury goods and services will see the spending power of their wealth decline much more quickly than headline inflation suggests unless they take action to secure a higher return on their savings.
How 'hidden inflation' affects you
Your exposure to this 'hidden' inflation will be higher or lower, depending on your spending habits. We estimate that a consumer who spends 50% of their money on luxury goods will be exposed to inflation of 3.9% at current rates.
Become A Client
When you become a client of Coutts, you will be part of an exclusive network.
This shows that living the good life doesn't just take more money. You need to make sure that the wealth you have is growing significantly faster than headline inflation.
Sven Balzer, Head of Investment Strategy at Coutts, said that falling CPI is unlikely to provide any relief for savers. "Inflation in luxury goods is still much higher than the average return on cash, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. While cash has its place in a portfolio – it has low risk and is usually easy to access in the short-term – anyone looking to maintain the spending power of their wealth in the long term should consider a diversified investment portfolio alongside cash holdings."
The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up, and you may not recover the amount of your original investment.
The four ages of inflation
As your spending habits change throughout your life, inflation will affect you differently. Understanding these effects will help you plan effectively to ensure you can sustain the lifestyle you want in the long term.
Exploring and enjoying life
This is when your capital is most at risk from inflation. Assuming an average rate of inflation of just 2%, the spending power of a pound will fall to 41p by the time you're ready to retire in 40 years' time.
This shows the importance of acting early to help protect your wealth from the effects of inflation through investment. Investing in a diversified portfolio of different asset types gives you a better chance of achieving an above-inflation return for your long-term savings than leaving your money in the bank.
This makes your 20s a good time to think about making the most of any savings vehicles such as an ISA. Making the most of your ISA allowance each year in a stocks and shares ISA (£20,000 for the 2018/2019 tax year) could see you build up a substantial lump sum over the years that's free from UK capital gains and income tax. Please speak to your private banker to receive the full report.
Tax reliefs referred to are those applying under current legislation, which may change. The availability and value of any tax reliefs will depend on your individual circumstances.

Where you're hit hardest:
Twenty-somethings enjoy owning the latest mobile phone and want to wear the latest fashion.
30s to 40s
The nest builders
Through your late 30s and as you enter your 40s you're likely to be setting up a home and settling down, and your spending patterns change.
This is the time that you might really start to think about the future. Make sure you're making the most of your occupational pension, if you have one. If you don't have a pension from your job - for example, if you're self-employed - you might want to start a pension now to make the most of tax reliefs offered to pension savers.
By this stage of your career, you may also have accumulated a number of pension pots from different provider, including from different workplace schemes. You could consider bringing your pensions together in one place – this can help you keep track of how much you've saved towards your retirement and you might even pay lower pension charges overall. However, you'll want to check each plan carefully to make sure that you don't lose any additional benefits by transferring. Please speak to your private banker to receive the full report.

Where you're hit hardest:
As you look to starting a family you'll be anticipating fewer nights out, and so you might want to take advantage of the cultural and recreational opportunities while you can. And when your children do start to arrive, there'll be more mouths to feed adding to your exposure to rising food costs.
40s to 50s
Nurturers and providers
By this time many people are well established in their careers and providing for a family. It's a busy stage of life with a lot of responsibilities at work and home.
In many households, there may be only one full-time earner. This means you need to be even more focused on preserving the spending power of your wealth over the long term, making sure you are providing for your own – and your partner's – future. Please speak to your private banker to receive the full report.
Find out how Coutts could help preserve the spending power of your wealth
Where you're hit hardest:
In these years, you're likely to be exposed to rising school fees as you support your children through their education. And this is the time in life when your earnings are likely to be taking off, so you may have the opportunity to treat yourself to a few luxuries or even buy that sports car you've been dreaming of for years.
60s and beyond
Reaping life's rewards
As we enter our 60s, many of us are starting to withdraw from working life to turn our attention to enjoying the wealth we have created. For many, this means leaving a regular income behind in favour of taking pensions savings, selling a business and turning to money you have invested in the intervening years.
Now, however, you'll be relying on savings rather than income to finance your life. Inflation is now your number one enemy – earnings typically keep pace with inflation, but cash held on deposit is at risk of losing its value because of inflation. If you don't invest wisely, you could see your spending power declining as inflation does its damage.
At this time of life you'll also want to start thinking about your legacy. Whether you want to leave money to charity or your children, you'll want to make sure that you protect your heirs from inflation as well as yourself. Please speak to your private banker to receive the full report.
Find out how Coutts could help you plan for your and your children's future
Where you're hit hardest:
Maintaining your standard of living will now be a key concern, with household costs rising. It's also the time to enjoy the finer things in life, and so you may spend more on luxury wines or your wellbeing.
Looking at the numbers
The CLPI provides a meticulously researched, accurate measure of the effects of inflation on high-end goods and services. It complements the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) to reflect the luxury portion of our clients' spending.
As many luxury goods and services are in fundamentally short supply, their prices may not always move in line with the wider market. Tracking the prices of these assets helps us understand the effects of inflation on the real value of our clients' wealth and their savings needs.
The CLPI tracks the price of 142 goods and services across 12 categories that mirror the mainstream CPI, focused on luxury and high-end items. These include high-end mobile phones, private school fees, Savile Row suits and luxury cars.
Some categories are moved by events quite specific to individual items. The price of whisky, for example, has risen rapidly in recent years as investors have broadened their scope away from just wine in their search for 'alternative' investments.
Others are driven more by macro factors. Two notable contributors in the last six months have been the continued strengthening of sterling, which has muted some overseas price increases, and the c.75% increase in the price of oil, which has had a broader impact on prices as a whole.
You'll find a more detailed analysis of the categories and the drivers of prices in the full report - please speak to your private banker to receive a copy.

Important information
Tax reliefs referred to are those applying under current legislation, which may change. The availability and value of any tax reliefs will depend on your individual circumstances.

Cash ISA available only for those aged 16 years or over and resident in the UK for tax purposes. Stocks and shares ISA available only for those aged 18 years or over and resident in the UK for tax purposes.
Coutts Invest only available for users of Coutts Online aged 18 years or over and resident in the UK for tax purposes.
The above commentary is based on our understanding of current tax law, which is subject to change in the future. The availability and value of any tax reliefs will depend on your individual circumstances and you should obtain tax advice before making any decisions.
Past performance should not be taken as a guide to future performance.
Key Takeaways
Our research shows that prices for luxury goods and services are rising at 5.5% a year, more than double the mainstream rate of inflation. If you enjoy life's luxuries then you need to be even more aware of corrosive effect of inflation on the spending power of your wealth.

So, you ask…what exactly is a "cash cow?" Well folks, it's the same as "milking the cow." In other words, if you have a cow and it's producing milk, perhaps even chocolate milk, and you can make a buck off of it, then it becomes a "cash cow."
Cash cows are easy to spot. First you have to find the most attractive and influential cow among the bunch, see if "it" might be a cash cow, and, if it proves to indeed be such a cash cow, then milk it for all that it's worth. Until either the milk or the cash runs dry.
BUT…..even though there are signs of the milk running dry, (shrinking udder syndrome) some brainiacs still attempt to get that last single drop of cash out of that cow. It's called…."greed,"….or….."We ain't givin' up until that freakin' cow is a steak and we have to eat it!"
Such is the case in yet another reality show about…….(sigh)…..the…."PALINS!!!!!"
This time the network executives hoisted the cash cow flag up and snagged Todd Palin as the next bovine winner. Yep….Sarah's husband now will enter the wonderful world of Disney…oops…sorry…I meant the wonderful world of reality TV appearing on NBC's "Stars Earn Stripes" OH Gawd….I can hardly wait for this one.
Soooo, what's Todd gonna do for us low life every day my life sucks viewers. We're gonna be able to watch Todd's career as a championship snowmobile racer. Not that there are other worthy snowmobile racers across the country that could do the same, but, THEY are not "cash cows" nor do they have the name, "Palin." Which, as we all know…..is where the term "cash cow" originated. Lots of cows in Alaska.
Not to mention the other cash cow show, "Life's A Tripp" starring, (geez, I hate using that word, "starring" because she's NOT a freakin' star) yes, Bristol (do as I say not as I do), Palin. And we all know how that "cash cow" was received by the critics. IT WASN'T!……because some of those critics smartened up and went and bought their milk at Cumberland Farms and Stop and Shop. Less aggravation.
Soooooooo. What do ya do when the cows all dry up? After all, there are only so many Palins left to milk. Yes, some smart ass executive did tap into the fact that the Palins are from Alaska and came up with the idea for a show featuring Alaska State Troopers. Why? Because Alaska State Troopers can be connected to the Palins because the Palins live in Alaska so therefore anyone who loves the Palins will absolutely love Alaska State Troopers and watch the program. Not that there are other state's troopers that are much more deserving.
Will this ever end. Probably not, as long as there are cows left to be milked in Alaska. OR….if Mitt Romney actually gets elected to the Presidency. Then it'll be a whole new ballgame with cash cows………or dogs.
Cash dogs telling their horror stories about being strapped to the roof of Mitt's car in, "Conversations With Mitt's Dogs." Or, a reality show about dogs traumatized after being strapped to the roof of a car doing 60 MPH down the Massachusetts Turnpike. OR….a reality show about how corporations are really people and we get to see how corporation executives actually do use toilets like the rest of us. I see it comin' down the ol Mass. Pike folks. Mark my word. Or words. Whatever.
Um, corporation executives DO go to the bathroom like the rest of us don't they?
But right now I'm sure those TV executives are going to milk that Alaska cow for every drop of milk they can get their greedy hands on. Which is fine for the cows because they love having their udders stroked. (see chapter 16 in "50 Shades of Cows.")
Let's see…hmmm……..New reality shows about the Palin's and Alaska:
"Mama Grizzly" A new reality show featuring an honest to goodness grizzly bear telling its story about how difficult it is to live in the woods of Alaska with various hunters continually asking for autographs because they mistake it for Sarah.
"Death Panel Roulette" Hosted by some other Palin, (I'm sure there are more) where the premise of this game show is to feature Alaskan seniors who have one foot on a banana peel and they have to spin the wheel to decide who gets their government benefits cut and wins the bigggg prize….death. (survivors of the deceased on this show actually are the winners as they get the old dead person's estate)
And….my favorite reality show which eventually will be coming down the pike, (not the Mass. Pike in this instance) ……….."Whatever Happened To The Palin's"
Now "THAT" reality show I definitely will be watching.
Now folks……The Cash Cow National Anthem:
(DONATE) The MisfitWisdom reality PayPal donate link is posted below. If it is not highlighted, copy and paste it into your browser and it will take you to the PayPal cash cow site. Out of respect for all cows, and MisfitWisdom, I urge you to make a small donation on behalf of creative effort and all cows who have been abused across America. Especially at Rockefeller Center. Oh yeah….Mitt Romney's dog…….ah feel your pain…."woof." Sorry, its all I could come up with….geez…I feel like such an ass.
