In a trading statement issued today, the owner of the SunSystems and Pegasus brands, said half-year profits before EBITDA will be "well in excess of £1 million". It has also banked a £1.5m profit from the sale of surplus property and its cash position at 30 June 2001 is up £4m to £14m.
The group says that SunSystems has "turned the corner and is achieving excellent results". And Pegasus Software, its more downmarket operation, is "trading profitably with some 500 orders received for Opera II." ®

Chasing Waterfalls on the Willow River, Again…
After the failed attempt to shoot hot air balloons on Saturday, we headed 15 minutes north. Neither of the guys I was with had been to the waterfall on the Willow River and since we were already three quarters of the way there, it seemed silly not to go. There was a lot more ice than the last time, but the falls were still flowing steadily. Here is a quick time lapse of it and a few pictures. Such a gorgeous place!
A Crab Dinner for Burd
About a month ago I noticed a sign at a restaurant near My work. It said "all You can eat crab on Tuesday nights." I immediately thought of Burd, My Brother's wife, who is a foodie through and through. She loves seafood with a passion too. I shot Her a text and plans were made to attend this early week crab devouring. The next week, Tuesday arrived, the sign was gone. I stepped inside and asked the hostess if they were still doing it and was told, "no, so few people came that it's been cancelled." Our 5 day mental build up to this potential crab feastery was put down, hard.
Last week, was Burd's birthday. Instead of a long lasting gift and inspired by recent events, I chose to give one that disappears rapidly. I went to a couple of shops around town, as well as surfed the internet. The web in fact led Me to the place which delivered these massive legs and claws to My door. It was slightly more expensive than getting the red king, golden king, or opilio crab legs found locally, but those were all so tiny by comparison.. Having read that the larger crabs tend to have a more robust flavor and sweeter meat, paired with My tendencies to go big, led Me to order 8 lbs of red king crab. Directly from Alaska. The biggest legs I could find were delivered to Minnesota, in under 18 hours.
I had told Burd, prior to Her birthday, that I was going to get Her a hammer as a gift. Which I gave to Her as We were departing a small car dealership in the southern suburbs. She was looking to buy a new car, possibly as a present to Herself? She was struggling to find a way to thank Me for giving Her a two pound mallet. Having arrived there seperately, She headed home in Her car and I headed there with My brother. We stopped at a store along the way and made it to their place before the birthday girl. Who then learned why She was holding a large rubber hammer. A knife works, but is slower and let's face it, less fun…
I have had crab on many occasions. Nothing quite like this however. So succulent, arromatic and the beautiful color. Tasting of it made one feel so fat, so quickly. It was like devouring small, puffy clouds of sweet, tender, meaty goodness. These huge crab's legs were just amazing. Without question, the single most luxurious thing I have ever eaten. I hardly even bothered dipping in butter, it was so delicious without any seasoning at all.
Double Pork Fried Rice
One of humanity's most varied edibles. After a decade or more of experimenting and constantly trying different things, I have settled on a flavor arrangement closer to americanized asian restaurant versions of this classic home-style favorite. The sweet soy sauce, or alternately kecap manis, combined with rice vinegar and soy sauce is the winning formula at a great many asian restaurants here in North America. For Me, Simply add eggs, sweet peas and bacon, everything else is optional. The following recipe is my dressed up version which is very much a stand alone meal. Adding chili powder for increased depth to the rice it's self, while also including carrots and onions, along with savory marinated pork. By cooking these things separately and mixing them together only at the end, You get a wonderful burst of the different ingredient's flavors in every bite. Serves 4 as a main dish or 6+ as a side dish.
Supplies Needed: Large Wok or Fry Pan, Knife and Cutting Board
2 cups of White Rice, steamed or boiled(slightly undercooked, or day old rice is best)
1 pound or so of Pork, Your choice of cut, chopped into half inch pieces(or smaller)
4 Eggs
One third of a pound of Bacon, sliced into pieces a quarter inch wide
3 medium sized Carrots, sliced thinly
1 large Onion, chopped as well..
Half of a bag of Frozen Sweet Peas
4 tbsp of Soy Sauce
4 tbsp of Sweet Soy Sauce or Honey, or 1+ tbsp of Sugar)
3 tbsp of Rice Vinegar
1 or 2 fresh Garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp of Chili Powder Blend
1 packet of Chinese Barbeque(Char Siu, Red Pork) Seasoning
Cooking Oil as needed
Prep and Cooking:
You will need to marinate the pork in the chinese seasoning for 30 minutes or more before cooking, over night in the fridge is best. Once it has soaked in the flavors, remove from the marinade and stir fry on high heat until fully cooked. I preffer a bit of charring on My red pork. Remove from the pan and set it aside for now. Rinse out the pan before continuing.
Over medium heat, scramble the eggs. Once cooked, remove, wipe any extra residue from the pan, then stir fry the bacon to Your liking and remove from the pan. There should be plenty of bacon grease now. You can poor off the excess, or just leave it all in. Stir fry the carrots until they start to soften, then add the onion and cook until the desired texture is reached. Remove from pan. Next, put the cooked rice into the pan, adding all of the remaining seasonings. Stir until everything is evenly mixed in, add the frozen peas and stir until they have thawed. Turn off the burner mix everything You have cooked together in the pan and serve.
Things go much faster using a skillet and a wok at the same time. Cooking the bacon, then veggies, followed by the rice in the wok and the eggs and then meat in another pan. Mixing it all into the wok at the end.
First Satsuma Mandarin of 2013
The tropical Minnesotan attic jungle is producing again this year. This orange was a pleasantly sour punch in the taste buds. The room was filled with a lovely citrus aroma when I peeled away the skin. Can't wait for the rest to be ripe.

Jack Rakove, Revolutionaries: A New History of the Invention of America. Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2010.
Pr. Rakove is the William Robertson Coe Professor of History and American Studies at Stanford University where he has taught since 1980. Rakove came to my attention during my first year teaching for University College at Northeastern University. As adjuncts in the UC, Rakove's book on James Madison was the supplemental reading assigned for the US History to 1848 course. Knowing little about him, I enjoyed the book and my students found it interesting as well as illuminating for the period. A couple of years later, I was given Original Meanings: Politics and Ideas in the Making of the Constitution as a gift, and found the text's discussion of what the creators of the constitution hoped to solve in creating a new government compelling.
About two or three years ago I listened to Rakove's Colonial and Revolutionary America course through iTunes U (via openculture.com). It was in listening to Rakove online that I learned more and more about this Pulitzer Prize winner. A long-suffering Cubs fan, Rakove's classes were full of information, humor, and, like my own, completely behind schedule.
Speaking of behind schedule, Revolutionaries, has not helped me keep mine. It's a lengthy tome, though it moves apace as Rakove draws rich portraits of important figures and their connection to the creation of the United States. The text is divided into three parts focusing on "the crisis" that led to the war for independence, the "challenges" that faced constitution writers (in states and at the national level), and the "legacies" of men like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and George Washington. This organizational tool is quite helpful as it almost divides the text into three different books. Rakove, however, threads it all together, from his prologue forward.
I'll be adding more thoughts about Revolutionaries later, but I thought I would close with a few comments about that prologue. "The World Beyond Worcester" begins by introducing us to a young schoolteacher working in Worcester – John Adams. I went to college in Worcester some 232 years after Adams wondered whether his students were "Kings, Politicians, Divines, Fops, Buffoons" etc (1). Sometimes I shared the same questions about my classmates – well, at least the Fops and Buffoons part.

So, you've heard of Pinterest, right? It's a virtual pinboard where you can "keep" all of your online inspirations–from recipes to decorating pics to travel plans to–yup–teaching ideas. Here are our favorite Pinterest-found classroom inspirations…so read, enjoy, and pin to your heart's content.
And, if you haven't been formally introduced to Pinterest, yet, you'll find a good article from USA Today on how to get started here.
Pinsirpiation: Look What We Found On Pinterest
Runde's Room: The Queen of Measurement
This cute Pinterest pin, left, led us to discover the blog of teacher Jen Runde, who offers a wealth of creative teaching ideas. We love this idea for teaching the metric system by declaring yourself the Queen of Measurement– tiara included.
Mrs. Schmelzer's First Grade: Sensational Space
The image from Pinterest, below, led us to the classroom of Mrs. Schmelzer, who's always got a great idea up her sleeve. Love this idea for teaching the moon phases and other facts about the solar system.
One note about blogs, though, should you choose to begin one: make sure you use good judgment and secure parental online photo releases for any children you feature. You never know whose Pinterest board they may end up being pinned to….
Disney FamilyFun
This adorable paper tray, below from Disney FamilyFun, caught our eye on Pinterest. Can you believe it's just three boxes (think: cereal boxes) taped together and then wrapped with wrapping paper? What a cute idea for art papers at a writing or crafts center!
These examples hardly scratch the surface of the fabulous ideas found on Pinterest. We'll be sharing more of our favorites from time-to-time. We thought you might appreciate some help narrowing down the really great ideas, since it's tough to ferret through the good, the bad and the pretty on Pinterest without losing several hours of sleep.
So rest up…and happy pinning!

Myths About Green Building Busted, Just In Time, Too.
Did the Vancouver Convention Centre give green building a bad name? Image credit the Tyee
Many have said that this is the year for the green building revolution to take off; Others see increasing challenges ahead. Chris Cheatham predicts more battles over green building codes, such as this one in Arizona; In Ohio, builders are fighting changes that would take wall insulation from R-13 to R-20, which is just ridiculous, nobody should be living in R-13 in Ohio. But they say "it's foolish to place more burdens on home buyers at a time when the economy is still weak."
Fortunately, in the midst of all of this backsliding, Monte Paulsen of the Tyee shows that "Green doesn't have to mean expensive, exotic or uncomfortable." Myth #1: Green buildings cost more.
Monte looks at a couple of Vancouver olympic projects that went over budget, and notes that many say that this demonstrates that green building costs more. But he suggests that it was more likely due to the timing and feature creep. He points to a study by Davis Langdon, Cost of Green Revisited that found negligible difference if it was done right.
Developers who persist in thinking about green building the same way they think about Sub Zero kitchens -- as something to be "added" on to a conventionally designed building -- will incur higher costs, the study warned.
"We continue to see project teams conceiving of sustainable design as a separate feature. This leads to the notion that green design is something that gets added to a project -- therefore they must add cost," the Davis Langdon study concluded. "Until design teams understand that green design is not additive, it will be difficult to overcome the notion that green design costs more."
Nic Darling made the same point much more graphically, calling it Polishing a turd.
Myth #2: Green building materials must be imported.
Only if you insist on imported bamboo instead of local certified wood. it just isn't true any more.
Myth #3: Green buildings' energy savings are more hype than reality
Again, old news, from the days when architects used to tack green gizmos on top of crappy buildings.
They created facilities that generate carbon-free power, then squander that energy in drafty and poorly insulated buildings. Such kluge-like constructions are the antithesis of green design, but it's understandable that passersby could confuse them for green buildings.
Myth #4: Green buildings are less comfortable.
Monte says it is a myth; I am not so sure. The engineers have us convinced that there is just one comfortable temperature and humidity and make us live it all year round, where we used to have to put on a sweater or take one off, and adjust to a range of temperatures. Some find living with the seasons more comfortable and pleasant; (see The Comfort Zone vs Comfort Point) others may not.
Myth #5: Green building is a fad.
Nope, because green buildings are more profitable, get higher rents and have higher occupancies. That is what the market appears to want.

The Spotlight Club
|The Spotty
The fabled NAAFI watering hole on-base at RAF Brize Norton. In its 1980s heyday, the bop was by far the best in the RAF - if not the armed forces.
The building itself contained a shop, the ubiquitous vending area, two bars, snooker rooms and a fully kitted out nightclub. Oh yeah! For a teenage sprog on his first outing in to the big wide world it was a revelation.
Crumpet abounded and the cream of Britain's military might had the pick of the crop - with many a local maiden getting the good news in the conveniently located accommodation blocks to the rear.
The times were good and the scraps between the various on-base factions were legendary - especially when the visiting courses were added to the equation.
The 'Spotty' was the first port of call for a generation of freshly winged up Crows from PTS, their newly-adorned Para Smocks cutting a dash in the inevitable queue for the phones.
The Spotlight Club is now a shadow of its former self, a victim of the changing times and attitudes of today's generation. Gone are the heady nights of taking to the illuminated dance floor in a Charlie-induced trance - dessies sticking to the beer-soaked floor [No drinks on the dance floor please] - but the memories live on.
As the song went:
I ain't goin' down to the Spotlight Club no more,
No I ain't goin' down to the Spotlight Club no more.
The girls they call you honey, when they're spendin' all yer money,
I always get a whore when I'm dancin' on the floor,
No I ain't goin' down to the Spotlight Club no more.
Rooster, 1987

Teeming with all the feelings and still unbeknown to what and how to plan something really special and romantic for your significant other? Take a cue from here and try out some ideas to bring the romantic flavor to your next date!
Cuddle up, Drive-in
Well the concept of the drive-in in some parts of the country in the US is making a comeback. Lucky Y'all! Although India would still be longing for such a thing. Watching a movie is cliché but passé. Cuddle up in the coziest blanket and watch a movie together in a Drive-In. Lean back and enjoy the movie (or whatever else).
Drunch by the ocean
Drunch just like Brunch (Breakfast + Lunch), is a portmanteau for drinks and lunch. Genius, right? Going further, drinks, a delicious lunch, and the never-ending ocean would be a perfect idea for a date where you just want to talk & know each other a lil more. Getting drunk over lunch sounds weird but what's the fun when you cannot be weird together!
Learning an art together
Learning an art together can turn out to be learning about each other and that's an art in itself though! Dance is one the most romantic & smart ways of knowing each other intimately and up & close. There's nothing that brings two people closer like dance or pottery. There's something utterly romantic about learning an art together. Try it out!
Being Adventurous
Find an adventure that you two might want to explore together. Adrenaline-spiked adventures like skydiving, scuba diving, kayaking, trekking or even camping can make it fun and romantic at the same time. These unusual and adventurous date ideas can make a big impact on you two. Bring an intellectual and physical thrill in the relationship.
Star Gazing
Inspired by "A Walk to Remember", as cliché and bookish it may sound this one is a classic. All of us, hands down want someone to lay down on the ground and gaze the stars and the constellations with. And for true romance, get along some fine wine. To plan this date, winters can be the perfect climate as the skies are clear. Watching the stars holding hands is a timeless date idea. Ah! What vibes!
When date night's approaching and you need some ideas? Get inspired by any Hollywood or Bollywood movie. They're the best! And there's nothing like "Ye sab sirf kitaabo aur filmo mein acha lagta hain". Romance doesn't have to be a try-hard thing, it's effortless. And an effortless effort is beautiful.

The Department is a leader in the continuing development of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) as an academic discipline with an intellectual core that supports many diverse applications.
The core of the discipline rests on the three pillars of science, systems, and society. The NSE graduate core curriculum is delivered in six modules:
In the graduate program, students can pursue Master's, Engineer's and Ph.D. degrees. Research in the Department covers a wide range of nuclear-related applications, including fission and fusion energy systems, nuclear security, and applications of radiation in medical, industrial, and computational devices. Engineering these devices and systems routinely requires the integration of nuclear and radiation processes, materials science, thermal/fluids and structural engineering, plasma science and quantum engineering. The economic, environmental, social, political and international aspects of nuclear systems also play a central role in their successful application.
The specific requirements of the Nuclear Science and Engineering Department are presented here. The five principal parts of the doctoral program are: (1) the Core Requirement; (2) the Field of Specialization Requirement; (3) the Oral Examination; (4) the Advanced Subject and Minor Requirements; and (5) the Doctoral Thesis.Upon satisfactory completion of this program the student will ordinarily receive the degree of Doctor of Philosophy unless a specific request for the degree of Doctor of Science is made. The requirements for both degrees are the same.
Students admitted for the SM or NE degrees who subsequently wish to become candidates for a doctoral degree must apply to the Department for admission to the doctoral program.
Candidates for the doctoral degree must demonstrate competence at the graduate level in the core areas of nuclear science and engineering. The NSE core consists of the following six modules: Applied Nuclear Physics (22.11); Radiation Interactions, Control, and Measurement (22.12); Nuclear Energy Systems (22.13); Materials in Nuclear Engineering (22.14); Essential Numerical Methods (22.15); and Nuclear Technology and Society (22.16). Each of these modules is offered every year as a 6-unit subject.
Each module has a comprehensive written examination, which is administered at the conclusion of the module.1 Candidates for a doctoral degree may choose to register for each module for regular MIT subject credit. Alternatively, they may elect to take the final examination in one or more of the modules without registering for credit. In either case, candidates must take the final examination in all six modules.
If a satisfactory final examination grade in one or more of the modules is not achieved the first time, students will be allowed a second attempt (see the section below entitled "Threshold Requirements for Undertaking Doctoral Research" for a description of the grade requirements in the module final examinations). Candidates for a doctoral degree must complete the core requirements by the end of their fourth graduate term.
1The final examinations in the core modules will have a principal writer and an assisting reader/grader.
Candidates for the doctoral degree must choose a field of specialization from the following list.2
Students must complete three graduate level 12-unit (or greater than 12-unit) subjects within their chosen field of specialization with a GPA of 4.0 or higher. The subjects should be selected from the pre-approved lists below. 3 All three subjects must be completed by the end of the fourth regular graduate term.4 Students must submit a plan to satisfy their field-of-specialization requirement by the beginning of their second graduate term. Where possible the subjects should be selected in consultation with the student's research advisor, and the plan must be approved by the registration officer.
2 Fields of specialization not on this list must be approved by the NSE Graduate Committee.
3 The NSE Graduate Committee must approve individual subjects not on the pre-approved lists.
3 Students can begin taking field-of-specialization subjects as early as their first graduate term, and will typically have completed at least one and probably two of these subjects by the end of their first year.
Candidates for a doctoral degree are required to demonstrate their readiness to undertake doctoral research by passing an oral examination by the end of their fourth graduate term. Oral exams are held twice a year, at the beginning of February and at the end of May. Students will generally take the oral exam for the first time in February of their second year.5 They are allowed two attempts at the oral exam. Students with an overall GPA in graduate subjects of less than 4.0 will not be permitted to take the oral.
The purpose of the oral is to examine:
The oral examination is approximately 2 hours in length and is in two parts.
In the first part, the student will present a 5-10 page paper prepared in advance and submitted no less than 10 days prior to the oral exam date. The paper should review a field of research, critique it, and formulate a research plan to approach a specific problem in the chosen field.
6 The examining committee will evaluate the content of the paper, the student's understanding of it, and the quality of the presentation.
In the second part, the examining committee will ask questions designed to examine the student on her/his broad knowledge within the field of specialization. The committee will have wide discretion in leading the student to explore areas where she/he should have technical background.
The oral examination committee will consist of at least four members. At least three members should be NSE faculty members or senior scientists. The chair should be a member of the NSE faculty but may not be the student's research advisor.
The committee will assign a grade of pass, marginal performance, or fail.
The chair of the committee will provide feedback to the student shortly after the oral examination. If the student receives a grade of marginal performance or fail, at least one other member of the committee will also provide feedback.
Further information on the oral examination can be found in the companion document entitled "Procedures for the PhD Qualifying Oral Exam".
5Students admitted into the doctoral program with a master of science or engineers degree will generally take the oral for the first time no later than the end of their first year in the doctoral program.
6This paper will have some similarities to a thesis prospectus, but the problem described will not necessarily turn out to be the student's doctoral thesis problem. If the student has previously carried out a SM thesis, the paper could describe that work. Topics to be explored in the paper and in the examination will include the student's identification of open questions in the research field, the significance of the particular research problem selected by the student, and the proposed approach to the problem, including criteria against which research progress could be judged.
Students will be permitted to embark on doctoral research only if, by the end of their fourth regular graduate term, they have demonstrated satisfactory performance in (1) the core curriculum, (2) the field of specialization, and (3) the oral examination. Specifically,
Candidates for a doctoral degree must satisfactorily complete, with an average grade of B or better, an approved program of two advanced subjects (24 units) that are closely related to the student's doctoral thesis topic. Neither of these subjects may be from the list of three subjects selected by the student to satisfy the field-of-specialization requirement.7 The advanced subjects should be arranged in consultation with the student's thesis advisor and the student's registration officer, and should have the approval of the registration officer.
Candidates for a doctoral degree must also satisfactorily complete at least 24 units of coordinated subjects outside the field of specialization and the area of thesis research (the Minor). The minor must consist of at least two graduate subjects or three undergraduate subjects. Undergraduate subjects used to fulfill the minor requirement must be taken while registered as a graduate student in the department. The minor program should be arranged in consultation with, and have the approval of, the registration officer.8
Subjects fulfilling the Advanced Subject and Minor requirements may be taken prior to the oral examination.
Subjects fulfilling the Advanced Subject and Minor requirements may be taken prior to the oral examination.
7 Students may select, for one or both of their advanced subjects, NSE-graduate-level subjects taken by other students to satisfy their field-of-specialization requirement.
8 Graduate subjects taken at other institutions may be used to satisfy the Minor requirement if this is endorsed by the registration officer and approved by the NSE Graduate Committee.
Effective Fall 2012, all students registered for doctoral research are required to register for the Seminar in Nuclear Science and Engineering, 22.911 (Fall) and 22.912 (Spring). In 22.911 and 22.912 they will present: (i) a seminar on their thesis research, and (ii) at least one additional technical presentation in oral or poster format each year at an occasion agreed to by the faculty in charge of the seminars in the student's area. Examples of acceptable technical presentations include (but are not limited to) a lecture at the NSE Freshmen Seminars, a lecture in a Course 22 undergraduate class, a talk at the Freshmen Open House, a poster/talk at the Graduate Student Recruitment Weekend, a poster/talk at the NSE Graduate Research Expo, a presentation at a professional conference.
General Institute information relating to theses for advanced degrees is to be found in the ODGE Graduate Policies and Procedures Manual available at (http://web.mit.edu/gso/gpp/index.html).
Doctoral research may be undertaken in nuclear science and engineering or in a related field of research. A thesis can be primarily theoretical or experimental, or can combine both approaches. Either the thesis supervisor or the reader must be a faculty member of the Nuclear Science and Engineering Department. A thesis supervisor may be selected from one of three categories (which can be found at the end of this document).
Before selecting a topic for thesis research, students are advised to speak to NSE faculty and/or research scientists engaged in research in areas of interest to them. A student should then select a supervisor (from one of the approved categories of supervisors) and work out together a proposed program of thesis research. In some cases, joint thesis supervision by more than one faculty member may be appropriate. The program must be approved by the Department before research may be initiated.
Where there is a single supervisor, there must also be a thesis reader. The reader will be solicited by the doctoral candidate after a thesis topic has been selected. The function of the reader is to read the prospectus and the final thesis report, and to comment on the progress and results of the work. Both the thesis supervisor and the reader will sign acceptance of the final written thesis.
A doctoral supervision committee, composed of at least three members, including the thesis supervisor(s) and reader, will meet with the student once every academic year to review her/his research. The committee may meet twice, once each term, at the discretion of the thesis advisor. The purpose of this review is to see that adequate progress is being made toward completion of the research. This meeting could follow the student's doctoral seminar presentation. At the conclusion of the meeting, a "summary of meeting" form must be signed by the student and committee members and returned to the NSE academic office (24-102). Submittal of this form will determine the student's thesis progress grade for the term. It is the student's responsibility to obtain the signatures and return the form to the NSE academic office.
The meetings with the doctoral supervision committee are to be organized by the student. The purpose is to insure that the supervisor, reader, and student are all in agreement with respect to the scope and quality of the thesis work. All participants will sign the summary report prepared by the thesis supervisor.
To facilitate the Department approval of the research subject, each candidate shall submit a brief thesis prospectus. This prospectus should be a few typewritten pages long and should contain a descriptive title of thesis; the date of general exam; signatures of doctoral supervision committee members, including supervisor(s) and faculty reader; general description of the problem; its significance; and background information relating to the problem. Thesis registration is permitted in the term the General Examination is successfully completed, and the prospectus is to be submitted no later than the end of the first term of thesis registration; failure to comply will result in refusal of thesis registration in further terms until an approved prospectus is submitted. An approved copy of the form listing the subjects to be taken to satisfy the advanced subject and minor requirements (48 units) must be attached to the thesis prospectus for review by the thesis supervisor. One copy of the approved prospectus must be submitted to the NSE academic office.
After submittal to the NSE academic office, the prospectus should be sent electronically to NSE faculty members for their review. Unless informed to the contrary within one month after submittal, the candidate may assume the prospectus has been accepted. If the prospectus is considered unacceptable, the candidate will receive, within one month of submittal, a written statement to the effect from the supervisor acting for the department. If this occurs, another prospectus must be submitted for approval.
The progress each student is making with the PhD thesis research will be reviewed by the NSE Graduate Committee at least once each year. The purpose of the review is to see that adequate progress is being made toward completion of the research. If the progress of any student is considered unsatisfactory the student will be warned, and in extreme cases may be denied further registration as a doctoral candidate, and the research topic made available to another student. A thesis in final form must be submitted before the student's name will be recommended for the Institute degree list.
All calculations and records, as well as any equipment or instrumentation developed during the thesis research, are the property of the Institute, at the discretion of the supervisor. Upon completion of the thesis, each student should make arrangements with the thesis supervisor for the transfer of records and equipment.
As indicated in the ODGE Graduate Policy and Procedures Manual, prior to submission of the final written thesis, a draft complete in all particulars is required for editorial comment and professional appraisals by the supervisor and reader. In planning a schedule, the student should realize that in excess of one month has customarily been required to complete the editorial comment, professional appraisal, required revisions and review.
Theses are to be submitted to the NSE academic office in sufficient numbers to provide the original and one copy for the MIT library, one copy for each sponsor or fellowship donor from whom the candidate received financial support (not required for government or general Institute fellowship awards), and one electronic copy in PDF format on a CD for the Department. The form of submitted theses, the abstract (300 words maximum), and a completed MIT doctoral dissertation form, must conform to the Graduate Thesis Specifications (http://libraries.mit.edu/archives/thesis-specs/) as published by the MIT library (refer to ODGE Graduate Policy and Procedures Manual and other posted information). All candidates must complete and submit the National Research Council form. One copy of the thesis is to be submitted to each supervisor and reader.
At the time the thesis is submitted, one copy of a thesis summary signed by the thesis supervisor must be submitted to the NSE academic office. The candidate will also provide the summary to each member of the thesis defense examining committee. Thesis summaries usually run from five to fifteen pages in length and should be in the form of a professional journal preprint. They should present the important results and conclusions of the research as well as a brief discussion of the significance and possible applications of the work. Inclusion of summary tables and/or important figures is encouraged.
The candidate will be examined on the content of the thesis and on topics immediately related to it. The thesis defense may be scheduled to occur at any time after eight days have elapsed following submission of the thesis to the NSE academic office, in conformity with Institute and Department requirements for thesis presentation, but before the date grades are due for that term. The candidate shall arrange a time for the defense to meet the convenience of the thesis defense examining committee. The examining committee shall include at least three members of the MIT faculty (of whom the supervisor(s) and reader may be two). The chairman of the committee shall be an NSE faculty member who is not a supervisor or reader. Notice of the thesis defense must be attached to each of the copies of the thesis summary. The notice should list the names of the committee members, date, time, and place of the scheduled defense. Thesis submissions will not be accepted without such a notice, conforming to these regulations. A thesis defense shall not proceed without satisfactory thesis submission being accepted.
Thesis defense examinations are open to the public. A notice of thesis defense must be emailed to all NSE faculty, staff and students at least one week prior to presentation. The chairman of the thesis defense committee will inform the NSE academic office of the result of the defense. Acceptance will be endorsed by the signatures of the supervisor and reader on the thesis title page after the thesis defense.
The Department expects that all articles in all publications whose substance is extracted in whole or in part from a thesis in the Department shall be submitted to the MIT thesis supervisor for comments and proofing before they are submitted to the appropriate journal. This step is taken to ensure that all works of the Department which are submitted for publication are of high quality and meet the Department standards.
All articles whose substance is extracted in whole or in part from a thesis should indicate the departments of MIT with which all authors were associated at the time the research was conducted; present affiliations (if other than MIT) should be shown by a footnote to the authors' names.
The student and the thesis supervisor should agree on the basic contents of the articles which are to result from the thesis, methods of publication, appropriate journal, number of authors, and acknowledgements, prior to the student's termination of residence at MIT. In the case of a PhD thesis, this should be done before the final oral examination of the thesis. In the case of an SM thesis, it should be done at the time of submission of the thesis.
It is normal practice for the staff supervisor to be the coauthor of articles resulting from theses. When authorship of a publication is shared by a member of the staff and a student, and there is no sponsoring project, help in meeting publication costs will be given by the Department.
The following was adopted by the NSE Graduate Committee.
A thesis supervisor may be selected from one of the following three categories:
Doctoral Supervision Committee Regulations:
Doctoral thesis research is ordinarily done in residence at the Institute. However, on some occasions and in some fields, work such as the gathering of data away from the Institute may be essential or desirable. Approval for thesis research to be done in absentia is given in writing by the departmental graduate officer after establishing that there are compelling educational reasons to approve thesis research in absentia. A copy of that approval must be filed in the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education (ODGE).
The following requirements must also be met:
Each university in the Unites States of America sets its own admission standards so there isn't the same criteria for all the students and the university can decide which applicants meet those standards. The fee for each application is between $35 to $100.
After the selections of the universities you want to attend, the best of all would be to contact each university for an application form and more admission information for the international students. Moreover, for a graduate or postgraduate program it's necessary to verify the admission requirements. Some programs require that you send your application directly to their department.
Admissions decisions are based on students's academic record and different test scores, such as TOEFL, the SAT or ACT (for undergraduate programs) and GRE or GMAT (for graduate programs). Admission decision is based on your academic results and motivation.
Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
Waivers are not offered.

In a dental office, people often pick up brochures that discuss how to get rid of bad breath. In general, people like to know if their breath smells poorly. Bad breath can be very unpleasant if you experience it coming from someone else's mouth. People often question how well their minty flavored mouthwashes work, especially since they have it everyday and may still experience bad breath. Short-term bad breath is can be caused by having onions in a meal, which generally resolves itself when the food works its way through your system. Mouthwash temporarily covers the smell, but the natural-occuring bacteria that causes this bad smell feeds on any left-over food in your mouth. Also, dieting can lead to bad breath because the human body releases various chemicals in your breath when it breaks down stored protein and fat. Some of the main medical conditions that can cause bad breath are sinusitis, respiratory infections, gastro-intestinal problems, and dry mouth (commonly caused by medications). If you have chronic salty tastes in your mouth or moving teeth, you may have a gum condition, which can lead to serious problems. What happens is bacteria trapped around the teeth cause gum inflammation and overall inflammation, which can eventually lead to bone loss and tooth loss if left unchecked. Foul-smelling breath caused by health issues generally won't go away without proper care. To solve these issues permanently, one needs to get to the root of the problem and consult a professional, like a dentist. Dentists should recognize periodontal disease and know how to treat it. Mouthwash may help bad breath temporarily, but by doing this frequently, it can be like wearing a bandage on an open wound that never heals. If you don't want a long-term bandage on your hand, why would you want one for your overall health? If people offer you gum or are scared away by your bad breath all the time, you may have a bigger issue than bad breath to resolve. Source: Marcine Hays, Oak Park Family Dental Care

Maximum pick performance with minimum use of mechanics
Full totes / standard cartons, and special sizes: WITRON solution "Optimal Fresh Picking (OFP)" combines case picking and piece picking in the fresh food area
Fruits and vegetables are healthy and people are eating even more consciously. Due to continuously increasing demands, the selection at the deli counter in supermarkets and convenience stores grows larger and larger. The first bite is with the eye - product quality is of extraordinary high importance. Obviously, no other product segment challenges the logistics experts as much these days. Requirements with regard to product sensibility and ergonomics can be resolved with automated systems. However, this is quite difficult to handle in a cost-efficient manner as small article ranges require a high pick performance. The solution is a new system from WITRON. With the OFP (Optimal Fresh Picking), the general contractor has applied for a patent that combines all scenarios in one system: The store-friendly picking of full totes and cartons as well as the piece picking from totes and cartons is done within one automated system: cost-efficient, flexible, with short throughput times, ergonomic, space-saving, and compact - with a balanced use of conveyor technology. The customer starts with a basic version that can be expanded due to the scalability of the innovative system. Additional modules can be integrated into the overall concept without any problem.
The special feature: Movements within the system are reduced to a minimum. Storage and replenishment components are product-gentle using Dynamic Mini Loads (DML) - small, energy-efficient stacker cranes with double load handling device. Two DMLs per aisle guarantee redundancy within the modules and ensure constant replenishment for order picking. Replenishment is done on individual pick levels. The products on each level are staged in a pick front. Six-fold-deep (or twelve-fold deep in case of half totes), single-item flow channels along the tote aisle allow an intelligent replenishment: on the one hand through short distances from the storage shelf to the flow channel - without additional conveyor system connections - and on the other hand thanks to the continuous replenishment of several totes per crane movement. All pick levels work completely independent from each other, which means that several orders from different stores can be processed in parallel with a short throughput time.
Full totes: Fully automated order picking by means of a shuttle
One store order is completed on every pick level. Full totes and cartons of different sizes are removed directly from the pick front by means of a pick shuttles and placed onto a discharge conveyor. The provision of the items in the modules is done according to the store layout to allow shortest driving distances of the shuttle. As in the case of the replenishment by means of the DML, the long driving distances for shuttles - for example to the end of the aisle - are no longer required - and thus allowing maximum outbound performances. The outbound lane transports the load carriers directly to the automated stacker cranes, where they are stacked onto pallets or roll containers without being buffered.
Perfect symbiosis: Person and machine in one system
Piece picking is done in a pick aisle with automated replenishment. Several pickers work in one aisle - guided by a pick guiding system that ensures maximum pick quality. Walking distances are reduced considerably. All pickers work on the same store order and pick fruits and vegetables from totes and cartons directly into the order totes. Every customer order is completed in one aisle. The order assignment of the next tote to be picked is steered by computers, which account for the pick performances of each individual picker.
Once the store totes are filled optimally based on a volume calculation, they are supplied to the automated stackers via an outbound lane and stacked for transportation together with the previous full totes or cartons.
All components directly from WITRON
All IT, mechanical, and steel components of the OFP system have been developed and designed by WITRON. When it comes to the implementation, WITRON's customers benefit from a great amount of successfully designed and realized logistics projects in the food retail sector.
WITRON 4.0 software suite:
Integrated communication between products, machines, people, and systems
An end-to-end networking is ensured through the WITRON 4.0 software suite. If an OFP distribution center connects all products, areas, and elements - from receiving to dispatch - in a logical and IT-supported manner, it allows a real-time optimized order processing that runs largely without staff intervention. If master data, departure times, store layouts, machine, or frame conditions change, order processing or prioritization will also change in a flexible and automatic manner, and in real-time. The core of the idea is that on the one hand all units and/or parties involved in the system (as for example machines, SKUs, stores, tours) are directly linked with one another, communicate with one another, and on the other hand that dynamic changes flow into the process in a decentralized manner and in real-time.
New system convinces with numerous benefits
Simple, clearly structured processes, the optimal interaction between people and machine, as well as a scalable overall concept ensure a highly effective pick performance, short throughput times, and maximum flexibility. Full totes or cartons, cases, as well as single items are picked in a store-friendly manner through one integrated system. A balanced use of mechanical elements creates the best possible ergonomic work environment for logistics processes in temperature-controlled areas. The use of multiple load handling devices applied at the used shuttles - two devices per aisle as well as a multiple staging of all products - ensure a high product and system availability and shortest driving distances at the same time. The separation of the system into modules, arranged in the X- and Y-axis, allows a compact design. An additional Order Consolidation Buffer is not required and further increases the cost-efficiency of the solution. A redundant design throughout the layout as well as a linked material flow between the individual modules ensures maximum stability. Factors that the market demands from a state-of-the-art logistics system.

After a challenging start and a change of ownership and company name, Grand Cayman's only private vaulting facility, coupled with a precious metals brokerage and smelting services, is up and running full steam.
Although Byzantium International Ltd. SEZC has its vault and precious metals processing center in separate buildings in George Town, Byzantium is one of the companies registered in Cayman Enterprise City in the commodities and derivatives sector.
It started out known as Argentum Worldwide Ltd. SEZC in 2012, but was sold in January 2014, when it changed its name to Byzantium. Its Cayman Enterprise City office is in the Flagship Building in central George Town.
The new majority shareholder is David R. Barker, an America author and former economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He was also an adjunct professor of economics at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago. John Buck, who serves as the company's managing director, is also the minority shareholder.
Byzantium has a sister company in the Cayman Islands known as Au Ltd., which is a local company able to transact business with residents.
The two-company group has six employees in Cayman, with two working with Au Ltd. and the other four with Byzantium, which provides a variety of services to overseas clients.
Byzantium offers several services to clients, starting with private vaulting. Its facility houses a modern Class 3 vault that is available for storage to individuals, something that is rare in the region, said Kody Zander, the company's vice president of sales.
"It's one of the only vaults outside of the U.S. on this side of the world that individuals have access to," he said. "People are very happy when they learn we have one here. They know the Cayman Islands is safe and is a British territory, plus it has the banking infrastructure."
Although customers like the fact that Cayman has a good banking infrastructure, people who own precious metals like even more the fact that Byzantium offers secure storage away from the regulatory regimes of banks, Zander said.
"People who like the physical side [of precious metals ownership] want it outside of the banking system," he said.
Unlike many precious metals commodity merchants, Byzantium deals only with physical gold, not futures.
"People buy it to sit on multiple years; it's a long-term investment," Zander said, noting that that's the reason they need a secure long-term storage solution.
Byzantium's current clients come from around the Caribbean region, as well as from the U.S. and Europe, Zander said.
The main storage vault houses 465 small, medium, large and extra-large safe deposit boxes, which combined could store more than 2.5 million Troy ounces of gold. Byzantium also offers smaller vaults for customers who want one to which only they have access.
The 150,000-pound main vault would take professionals several days working around the clock to break into, but the smaller vaults are very secure as well. The renter of one of the vaults at Byzantium's facility forget his lock combination and the door had to be drilled.
"It took four days, eight hours per day to get into it," Zander said.
Sales and processing
In addition to storage, Byzantium sells gold and silver ranging from 1-ounce bars and coins to 1-kilogram bars, all at very competitive prices, Zander said.
"Our prices for gold and silver are equivalent or cheaper than in the U.S."
It also has smelting facilities capable of melting gold or other precious metals to molten form in a matter of minutes. Once liquefied, Byzantium has laboratory equipment capable of sampling and assaying the purity of metal to the precision level of parts per billion.
Once the purity is confirmed, Byzantium can offer valuation services.
Zander, who worked off and on for a different precious metals company in the Cayman Islands starting in 1998 and started with Byzantium last December, said that since the financial crisis, the demand for owning gold and silver has increased significantly. Byzantium has benefited from that increased demand.
"The company is growing a lot faster than expected," he said. "The growth year on year is quite substantial, and even month on month we're growing substantially."
One of the things that makes Byzantium attractive is that it falls outside of U.S. regulatory agencies, and outside of the reporting requirements of FATCA, meaning that people don't have to divulge what they have stored in the vaults.
"But we still have to do KYC and anti-money laundering, and purchases can't be made in cash," he said.
He said that word about Byzantium's services has spread quickly among those who deal with precious metals, mostly from off-island.
"It doesn't take long [for word to get out] in this industry," he said.

It's every DIYer's worst nightmare: Measuring wrong. The wrong measurements mean wasted time and effort, and worst of all, wasted money. Replacing windows is no exception. Whether you're installing them yourself or hiring a professional to do it for you, the first and most crucial step is to get the measurements right before you buy your windows.
Vinyl replacement windows are typically custom-built, although off-the-shelf windows are available in the most standard sizes at some retailers. Due to the customization, however (including color), they can't be returned if they don't fit.
Most manufacturers produce windows in 1/4-inch increments, and you want to get the closest fit possible. Measuring instructions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer (of course!), but there are some basic procedures common to all.
To get the correct width of your window, raise the lower sash and measure the width jamb-to-jamb in three locations near the top, across the middle, and near the bottom. If there are different measurements, take the smallest one. Next, measure the height by measuring from the head jamb to the sloped sill, just past where the sill meets the inside window stool.
Note: Don't assume that your similar-sized windows are the exact same size! There might be minor variations, and a 1/4-inch is small enough that you might not notice just by eyeballing it. Make sure you measure each replacement window separately!
Here's a tip to help you keep yourself (and your measurements) organized: Draw a rough sketch of your house, and number all the windows that you plan to replace. Then, measure each window and note the measurements on your sketch next to the appropriately numbered window.
Be sure to tell the window manufacturer that you are providing the actual measurements, and list the width first and height second.

One of the most important tools for limited government is transparency. Transparency keeps government accountable by giving citizens the ability to monitor what government officials are doing and publicize instances where government officials abuse their authority.
Of course, government officials dislike transparency for precisely that reason, and they have often worked hard to limit the amount of information they make available. The Freedom of Information Act, which was passed in 1966 and given teeth in 1974, required government agencies to disclose information upon request from voters.
Some government officials have taken the opposite tack: instead of withholding information, they've released enormous quantities of poorly organized information, making it difficult for voters to sift through the material and find what they're looking for.
Former Catoite Jerry Brito, now at the Mercatus Center, has written a fantastic paper describing the remedy for this tactic of government obfuscation. Jerry argues that government agencies should be required to release their data in structured formats suitable for easy manipulation by software tools. That would allow computer geeks to use software tools to organize the information and make it easily searchable. And that, in turn, would make it much easier for citizen‐activists to sift through the available information and unearth relevant information about government activities.
Jerry points to several excellent examples of how structured data can improve government accountability. One is Washington Watch, a side project of our own Jim Harper, which gives voters a user‐friendly way to keep track of what Congress is doing and discuss pending legislation with other voters. Another is opensecrets.org, a project of the Center for Responsive Politics, that provides well‐organized, searchable access to the FEC's campaign contributions database. Creating opensecrets.org would have been prohibitively expensive if the FEC hadn't made the raw information available in a reasonable electronic format.
Many more projects like this would be possible if government agencies made more public data available. I encourage you to check out Jerry's paper to learn how it can be done.

Kenneth Roth understands the pain of the oppressors
"Israel is understandably frustrated by the difficulty of fighting Hamas..." What else do you find understandable about Israel war crimes, o Kenneth Roth? And do you find Palestinians frustrations fighting against a racist colonialist entity, understandable? (thanks Dina)

Our BSc Accounting and Management combines two disciplines of central importance in contemporary society. Your study of accounting gives you an academic grounding in financial and management accounting. Your financial and accounting modules not only focus on the preparation of financial statements, but also on theoretical aspects of accounting such as the need for accounting standards and conceptual frameworks.
Management accounting is concerned with supplying information to internal users and topics include costing, budgeting and performance evaluation. Your study of management provides you with knowledge of the processes and practices relating to the management and co-ordination of organisations.
Our Essex Business School has an international reputation for cutting-edge research in accounting, finance, management and entrepreneurship. This was confirmed when we were ranked second in the UK for accounting and finance research, with 95 percent of our research graded as of international quality. Our work is informed by a broad range of social science theories and concepts, much of it addressing the important issues currently being faced by commercial businesses, public sector bodies and not-for-profit organisations.
We are recognised for being at the forefront of research in: business ethics and corporate social responsibility; organisation studies; leadership and strategy; finance and banking; risk management; and international management. Many of our academic staff have world class research reputations and have written about, or worked in, a wide range of organisations and this experience is incorporated into your learning experience within our School.
The special characteristics of our courses are flexibility and choice. In your first year, you usually take four or five modules that include pre-requisite(s) for your course but, in many cases, mean you can try subjects you have not come across before. If you are taking a humanities or social science, then you have the greatest choice, as most of our first-year modules do not assume any specialist knowledge.
With a small number of exceptions, if you successfully complete the first year of your BA, then you are qualified to enter the second year of that course and a range of other courses: for example, if you take economics, politics, philosophy and sociology, then you have a choice of at least nine possible single or joint honours courses at the end of your first year. This means you can change your course, providing you have taken the appropriate pre-requisites and places are available. We offer a range of optional modules in your second- and final-years and most courses allow you to undertake a final-year project, an individual piece of research on a topic that interests you.
We operate a credit framework for our awards, which is based on principles widely used across the UK university sector. Each module has a credit rating attached and our standard three-year course consists of 360 credits (120 credits in your first year, and 240 credits across your second and final years).
Please note that module information on our course finder provides a guide to course content and may be subject to review on an annual basis.
Introduction to Accounting; Quantitive Methods and Finance; Introduction to Management; Economics for Business;
Financial Reporting and Analysis; Management Accounting I; Organisational Behaviour; International Business Environment; Management Accounting II;

Universities in the United Kingdom use a centralized system of undergraduate application: University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). It is used by both domestic and international students. Students have to register on the UCAS website before applying to the university. They will find all the necessary information about the application process on this website. Some graduate courses also require registration on this website, but in most cases students have to apply directly to the university. Some universities also accept undergraduate application through Common App (the information about it could be found on universities' websites).
Both undergraduate and graduate students may receive three types of responses from the university. The first one, "unconditional offer" means that you already reached all requirements and may be admitted to the university. The second one, "conditional offer" makes your admission possible if you fulfill some criteria – for example, have good grades on final exams. The third one, "unsuccessful application" means that you, unfortunately, could not be admitted to the university of you choice.
All universities require personal statement, which should include the reasons to study in the UK and the information about personal and professional goals of the student and a transcript, which includes grades received in high school or in the previous university.

To study at this university, you have to speak English. We advice you totake an IELTS test. More About IELTS

This will be my mine and the hubby's 7th Christmas together, and I simply love our little traditions. We always get a hot chocolate after picking out our tree from the local doughnut shop, and come home and savor that before we get down to business. I also make a fun playlist on my Rhapsody account to play while we are decorating. I am an unrepentant rock/metal fan, and one of my favorite guilty pleasures around Christmas is the Monster Ballads Xmas album:
Lots of fun stuff on here, but my favorites are Jani Lane's versions of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and Winger's version of "Happy Christmas, War Is Over". I like to mix it up with other fun songs like "Christmas in Hollis," Everclear's version of "Santa Baby" and some of the traditional Burl Ives, Dean Martin type stuff.
I thought our tree turned out really nice this year. We realized when we opened our ornament box that we had a conversation last year about throwing away our crappy Dollar Tree ornaments and buying nice ornaments on sale after Christmas, but apparently it was just that...a conversation about it. We had thrown away the crappy ornaments but had not bought new ones! We do have a handful of sentimental ornaments we were able to put up, but we're going to go have to get a few more to fill out the tree! My hubby did a total Griswold with the tree lights this year, but it does look nice:
Even our fish Axl got his living quarter spruced up with a Santa and some Christmas lights. I think he likes the lights, he's been very active since we put them around his tank. Either that or he thinks he's on acid. ;) He's kind of small, but he's at the bottom of his tank and a greenish yellow.
This is my favorite picture of the night. This is our dog Natasha, who I love and adore, but she is the definition of an old dog who has run out of give a damns. She's 14, blind in one eye and we think she may be losing her hearing, so I can't quite blame her for acting like a little old meemaw sometimes. Anyway if you are dog owner, you know the best part of Christmas is being able to torture your dog with some sort of antler or hat contraption. In our case it was antlers with jingle bells on them.
On another note, my fitness and eating this past week has been really horrible. I am hoping to be able to get more into a routine once the weekend is done, but I fear that may not be the case. It has unfortunately been a tough month for me, and I am a little ashamed to say that I will be happy when the holidays are done. It's not that I don't love Christmas, but it's tough to get into a rhythm when you are pulled in 9 different directions. I still am highly motivated, but also have to give myself a break for sanity once in awhile.

I'm not going to put the shoe on anyone's foot in particular, but with studies showing that there are 46 million adults who believe they need life insurance but still don't have it, well, it's safe to say that someone isn't getting the picture.
If we take the old standard family model and assume there is a husband working and a home maker with a few kids then it becomes kind of a no brainer that the breadwinner should have life insurance to replace that bread they are winning if they die. This begs the question, "Which spouse doesn't get it?" I know I go off on men….a lot, for not assuming it is their responsibility to have life insurance and quit jacking around and get it done, but that's not necessarily the way us guy's brains work. Would we take a bullet for our wife? Would we step between her and a charging bear? Would we do everything in our power to take care of her (and the kids) in sickness and in health? I think for most of us the answers are yes to those life and death things that assume we're here, but that doesn't mean it would occur to us to buy life insurance so that if we weren't here they would still be taken care of. Money won't take care of the bullet or the bear, but it will make the family financially whole again and able to get through the rough times and everyday life, both of which depended on your income.
So, there are generally two adult brains in these kind of relationships, so if it doesn't occur to one, what about (in my old school family) the wife? Women are more intuitive when it comes to these things. They know you'll take the bullet for them, but then they also understand that you are somewhat dead after that heroic gesture. It won't be long before reality is driven home. Final expense bills come due and medical bills and when the final paycheck runs out, the rent or mortgage, food and other living expenses keep right on coming. We've all seen the newspaper articles saying that an account has been set up at a local bank to help the family. We all know that the chances of significant money being donated is relatively slim. So, obviously, it's the women who need to take the lead in making sure their future is secure in case they really are married to someone who would jump in front of a bear.
It kind of reminds me of that saying, "Lead, Follow or Get Out of The Way". No matter who initiates the life insurance conversation and whether your situation resembles my pretend family above, someone has to break the ice. The conversation has to happen. It is way too easy and far too inexpensive to get life insurance in place. Men, if you want to impress your wife, just go get it done. Women, let your husband know what life insurance means to you. I had a client recently who asked her husband to buy life insurance for their anniversary present and keeping it in force was all she wanted for future anniversaries.
Once the lines of communication are open, cover all the bases, because whether the second person is a homemaker or a second breadwinner, life insurance is financially justified. Women are just as likely to need life insurance as men.
Bottom line. We all know that death isn't always fair and doesn't always happen when we're old and worn out. I've had a lot of clients die over the years and and the average age was 48. We're not talking old folks although one was 82, but mostly these deaths were tragically unexpected. Way too soon. But for these there was life insurance and a chance to get the family feet back on the ground and move ahead. If you have any questions, or aren't sure how to approach the subject of life insurance in your relationship, call or email me directly. My name is Ed Hinerman. Let's talk.
