The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day is Duke of New York, A Number One!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes pic! John Carpenter is a director you'll see pop up a lot on this column. He's one of my favorite filmmakers and today we're looking at a shot from the making of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. This photo didn't come with a credit, but I know Kim Gottlieb-Walker was Carpenter's onset photographer for most of this era, so it's a good guess that she took this rather pretty image of Carpenter getting a shot of the New York skyline. I know there's no Snake or Cabby or Duke in this pic, but what really grabbed me about it is how candid it is. This is more of the down and dirty side of filmmaking… grabbing a shot of a cityscape at either dusk or dawn (looks like morning light to me, but I'm no expert). Plus it's a pretty large image whereas some of the other ESCAPE pics I have are tiny. Thanks to reader Michael Heintzelman for sending the pic along! Hope you guys enjoy it (click for the bigger version)!

Two Towers
by TheUltimateMathTeacher
I remember going there in the early 90's and going to the top of one of the towers. They look huge in pictures, but standing at the top is breathtaking. Cool looking shot. Makes me want to watch that movie again.
Dec. 4, 2010, 7:57 p.m. CST
by SobchakSecurity
Love it. Love it. Love it. This has to be one of my favorites so far in this series. I love Carpenter, I love EFNY, great story and cast, but this, this captures something special. Excellent choice.
Dec. 4, 2010, 8 p.m. CST
Favorite scene in EFNY?
by SobchakSecurity
Spoilers! You have been warned if you haven't seen it yet................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Well, I don't know if this would be my favorite, but it's probably the most poignant, but when Cabbie,the great Ernest Borgnine dies, and Snake gets this look of compassion/concern/remorse on his face,showing underneath his otherwise tough as nails exterior, which I think we should have more characters like, he does care, cause Cabbie was the one guy who went out of his way to like,selflessly and honestly help Snake and didn't try to screw him over and stab him in the back.

First of all - love the name. Classic. Second of all - nice choice for favorite scene. Thirldy - my favorite scene is the initial meet between Snake and Bob Hauk. That is one badass conversation between two badass characters. Love that scene.

Cool Pic
by Kraven Morehead
but it always depresses me when the date in a movie about the future comes to pass and things in that movie have still not occurred e.g. flying cars, world peace, human-enslavement by machine, etc. This movie has the strange aspect of being depressing because in the future those buildings aren't there. RIP WTC.

EFNY is the only Carpenter/Russell film I don't like
by Nasty In The Pasty
Russell is just trying WAY too hard to act all "badass" (he was just aging out of his squeaky-clean Disney period), and the film is a trash-compactor of post-apocalypse cliches. Great use of matte paintings (some by young "Jimmy" Cameron), and Dean Cundey's photography is excellent, but the movie is just kind of a slog.

Compared to Escape From L.A., however, it's freaking The Road Warrior.

Dec. 4, 2010, 11 p.m. CST
by SobchakSecurity
Oh yeah! You can cut the tension with a knife in that scene!!! It's one of those great parts of two badasses each trying to outbadass the other one!!! That scene with the two actors there,Van Cleef and Russell, is proof positive of the excellent cast they pulled together for this. Everyone in it, regardless of there role in it, is great! I mean, maybe it's my nostalgia, but you don't get casts like that anymore. I mean, there was just something special I think about how it all came together. And of course, Harry Dean Stanton, who I'm always happy to see when he shows up in anything really. Ah yes, the name, well,glad someone got the reference. I had another one, Malcom Tucker jr, I had forgotten the password,then remembered I had this one, so I have been using this.
Dec. 5, 2010, 12:12 a.m. CST
I don't think it's "too soon" as some say...
by SobchakSecurity
The towers were there before the attacks, you can't go and erase them from movies that feature them, which does feel a bit odd when I see that. I think to deny there existence is rediculous. Oh, anyone else remember the original spider man teaser trailer?
Dec. 5, 2010, 1:13 a.m. CST
The towers in my kid's mind
by reagon
In the 70's, I had an image of the twin towers in my head that had little to do with reality and all to do with Snake Plisskin and Dino De Laurentiis. Even as an adult, having never been to New York, those images made the towers seem bigger than life.
Dec. 5, 2010, 3:07 a.m. CST
I noticed it has those buildings
by smackfu

Cool story.......
by Righteous Brother
which I read on that talkbacks here years ago. Somebody went to see Isaac Haye's live once and during the gig an audience member shouted out 'The Duke of New York A number one!!!' to which Isaac responded.......'Snaaaaaaaaake Plisken, I heard of you' I would love'd to have been there. Gotta a lot of love for EFNY.
I have a vague memory that the Twin Towers were prominently featured in a movie but then the scene was excised after the tragedy... can't recall which tho?
 They do look poignant and almost ghostly in this dawn photo.

both removed the towers after 911
Dec. 5, 2010, 9:14 a.m. CST
They could never cut the towers out of this movie
by RedBull_Werewolf
How the heck would snake arrive on the island? You could even cut them out of the end without severely ruining the entire third act. They really should be removing the twin towers from any movie , I mean why hide that awesome spider-man trailer or why hide the orignal die hard poster, The towers stood strong for many decades no need to wipe them from existence just because some Camel rapers flew a plane into them
Dec. 5, 2010, 10:34 a.m. CST
Speilberg and Lucas also removed The two towers
by RedBull_Werewolf
Although I don't think te film was released yet, but Spielberg did go back last minute and paint them out of A.I. also There are rumours that George Lucas removed several scenes from the Coruscant skyline chase in attack of the clones, because they featured speeders crashing into high rise buildings

In the first trailer for the first Spider-Man flick the towers were in it a lot. Spidey webs up a helicopter full of bank robbers between them.

Replacing two towers with one tower is lame.
by Nem_Wan
Less is less. It's saying we don't have the confidence or money we had 40 years ago. Well actually we do have the money, but we're spending it on the most expensive memorial ever so we can remind ourselves of losing things and being outraged instead of building things and winning by being the best. USA, stop sucking already.
Dec. 5, 2010, 1:03 p.m. CST
The Twin Towers were in A.I.
by TiVo1138
At least they were the last time I watched it. And the movie came out before 9/11 happened.
Dec. 5, 2010, 2:46 p.m. CST
Jim Cameron was the director of photography
by skimn
of special effects for the shoot. I recall, in maybe an old issue of Cinefex, that the vector graphics of the city that Snake saw inside the glider were filmed with a miniature of the city buildings outlined in phlorescent (sp) tape, because computer graphics at the time were too costly. Talk about old school.
Dec. 5, 2010, 3:24 p.m. CST
Looks like Carpenter is having a ball
by AsimovLives
And damn good movie. This is what i call a proper fun moive. since when entertaiment has to be a whole mess of dumb, à lá Abrams Trek? ESCAPE FROM NEW YORk is the real deal. And so is it's memorable protagonist, one Snake Plissken, who everybody thinks he's dead.
Dec. 5, 2010, 2:18 p.m. CST
Put the towers back.
by dogu4
Really...just as they were, and make the a*holes who helped to bring 'em down pay for them in more than just a little treasure...and then make sure that THEY (not us),those miserable a*holes never muther-f*kkin' ever forget that WE have not forgotten. Cheers. PS...love this photo, and I hate New York.

I visited the TWC
by AsimovLives
It was on august 2000, when id di my only vacation in the USA. It weas on a sunday. I loved the view from there. It was a sunny day, the city looked gorgeaus froma bove, and you could barely see the people down on the street. The view from above gave me the same type of sense and feeling that i have when i'm in a tall building looking down: peace and serenity. It has always been my life long dream to live in a very tall building at near the top floors.
Dec. 5, 2010, 6:15 p.m. CST
Carpenter? I thought you were dead.
by Flip63Hole
I mean Snake, sorry...

Removing the towers is stupid
by GeorgieBoy
To remove the towers completely from existence is to disgrace the memory of them and the people that died there. Shoot, maybe we should just erase the entire 2nd Lord of the Rings movie because it makes mention of "The Two Towers!" I mean, that's just as stupid as removing the WTC from every movie.
Dec. 5, 2010, 10:22 p.m. CST

Ye,s but what good movies they are. They are legend now. Unlike many of the movies you seem to like and praise made today. Most filmmakers can only dream of making one classic or cult film, Carpenter has a belly full of them.

Feeding the Addiction: Content Marketing Lessons from Candy Crush Saga
Posted on March 18th 2014
It's just a game… or is it? Mentioning Candy Crush Saga to any of my friends elicits a couple of different responses, but one of the main ones is, "I hate that game!" Hate as they may, Candy Crush players continually come back for more – especially now that the bizarrely notorious Flappy Bird has been pulled from the app market. Let's explore just how content marketers can learn from one of the most addictive games the internet has ever seen.
Sweet: The Mechanics of Candy Crush
Gamification, or the use of game design techniques to solve non-game problems, has been used by marketers for years to strategize. Candy Crush Saga is the perfect example of a game that has a lot to teach the world of content marketing.
Candy Crush has adhered to one of the most rudimentary rules of content presentation: keep it simple. Almost everyone knows how to play the game Bejeweled, and Candy Crush has commandeered the classic game format while adding a few bells and whistles to spice things up.
The incredibly simple content delivery is the first takeaway. Simple content is accessible to people from all walks of life. Candy Crush is also visually appealing and immensely satisfying, with fun, bright colors and ease of booster achievement within levels. Visually speaking, it's content that people will want to come back to again and again.
Simply put, Candy Crush is addictive – and it was expertly designed to be that way. Time Magazine has even explored the science behind Candy Crush to figure out why people can't stop playing. Check out this hilarious New York Times opinion piece for a look into the mind of a Candy Crush player:
Delicious: Teaser Tactics to Bring In an Audience
One of the most ingenious mechanisms behind Candy Crush Saga is its ability to make players want more. Unlike most online games, you can't get lost in Candy Crush for hours and hours at a time. If you run out of lives, that's that for at least half an hour – unless you pay to get back into the game. Making people wait for content is one of the main reasons that players can't seem to get enough of Candy Crush – they can't have more lives, but they want them.
Similarly, when you are out of moves but only need that one last swipe to beat the level, the game will automatically ask if you want to keep playing. If you do, your only option is to pay up – usually about $1 to do so.
How can businesses follow this model? It's all based around a need to keep going. That means making content as much of a daily presence as Candy Crush. In order to make people want to come back for more, it's important to set up a routine – and to deliver. High quality content delivered through blogging and social media updates is always a smart way to get started.
Divine: Integration with Social Media
Candy Crush is all about social media sharing. After all, the game started out on Facebook. When you beat a level, the game asks if you want to share your progress with friends. It will also show where you rank on that particular level, where friends rank, and if you've beaten one of their scores.
Every twist and turn prompts sharing your Candy Crush experience with friends. Friends are also encouraged to help each other by giving extra moves and lives, and by helping players move into the next "chapter" of the game. It is possible to play the game without any help – but, again, it does mean paying a few dollars to move forward in the game.
Candy Crush is social media royalty, and this is a level of interactivity that any brand should strive for. Facebook, Instagram, and Vine are excellent platforms for sharing visual content, and these social media sites can also be integrated with other web content. It's all about encouraging interaction; not only should users be interacting with your brand, but they should also be using your brand to interact with each other.
Candy Crush has also simplified the way to pay. Because the game will connect directly with user PayPal accounts, the game's system of micropayments is easy to access. So while you don't have to pay – and, according to King, 60% of players on the last existing level haven't paid – it's incredibly easy to do so.
Spun Sugar Perfection: Winning Former Players Back
I'll confess: I got stuck on level 125 last fall. As a result, I got bored and didn't really feel like playing anymore. But then I learned about some of the new features of Candy Crush and was immediately sucked back in (oops). How did that happen? Well, the game released its new feature – the Booster Wheel – which users can spin once per day for bonuses that will help them beat levels they're stuck on. Again, this new feature is perfectly integrated with the social media aspect of the game: after you spin and receive a free power up, the game asks if you know a friend who is stuck on a level, letting users spread the word.
The Booster Wheel was released in conjunction with the game's new Dream World, another "world" in the game that provides its own unique levels and challenges. For me, that meant I could leave behind the level I was stuck on for a little while – or switch back and forth between worlds if I was stuck on two different levels at once.
It's no accident that the release of these two features last November came up just as many players began to feel bored or frustrated with the game. In fact, upping the ante to win back lost customers is one of the most overlooked marketing strategies around. Studies have shown that marketers have a 60-70% chance of making another sale with a current customer and a 5-20% chance of converting a prospect into a customer. Where does winning back a former customer fit in? Well, the chances are higher of winning back an ex-customer than converting a prospect: 20-40%.
When Candy Crush play began to wane and players complained that certain levels were too difficult, the game made adjustments to keep those players committed. By figuring out what consumers wanted, taking responsibility, and making minor changes to the game, Candy Crush offered a sweet deal for those who were on the fence about continuing play – or had left the game completely.
Finally, there is no way to "beat" the game, because Candy Crush is constantly adding new levels. So if you've reached the highest level, not to worry – there will always be more to come. The never-ending stream of high quality content on behalf of this game is the last takeaway. When it comes to showing your stuff, don't forget to deliver consistently and well.
Reaping the Sweet Rewards
As of the end of 2013, over half a billion people have installed Candy Crush Saga on their mobile devices. In fact, Candy Crush has been so successful with its seamless system of micropayments that the game was able to eliminate ads entirely last summer, meaning that its only revenue is brought in through the game itself.
My mandatory 25-minute wait time is done. I'll be going back to my game now.
What tactics might your business pick up from Candy Crush Saga?

What are some of the cool features in a Mac?
I've played with a MBP, read a bunch of comparisons and seen videos, so I know about the usual things like Spotlight, trackpad gestures, Mission Control, Automator etc.
But I want to hear about other things that may not be well known but you appreciate.
e.g. Internet Recovery - allowing OSX to be reinstalled from Apple servers. Sort of like Windows network book from an IT image.
Trying to find out how different using OSX daily is from Windows, other than the features you can read about on Apple's site. e.g. do you like Finder? Do you use tags/labels? What do you miss when not on OSX?

These plaques are beautiful!! And even a good size. I can see why everything is called "Touch of Class"
I bought this for a wall in our seaside condo. I was disappointed as they weighed a lot more than expected. I would have sent them back, but my husband was home and hung them by using 2 toggle bolts on each hanging. I would not have made the holes in the walls. They were larger and deeper than I expected, also. This is the first time I've ever been disappointed with anything I have bought from Touch of Class.
Hang it in our living room ocean view home, very realistic and well made.

An international team of researchers has found that certain bioactive components found in human milk are associated with a reduced risk of HIV transmission from an HIV infected mother to her breast-fed infant. Their study will be published in the August 15 online edition of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
"In developing countries, HIV-infected mothers are faced with the decision of whether or not to breastfeed their babies," said Lars Bode, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. "Breastfeeding exposes the baby to the virus and increases the risk of the baby dying from HIV infection; but not breastfeeding increases the risk for the baby to die from other intestinal or respiratory infections."
Bode and colleagues set out to find why the vast majority of breast-fed infants do not acquire HIV-1, despite continuous exposure to the virus in their mother's milk over many months. Even in the absences of antiretroviral drugs, only 10 to15 percent of infants will acquire HIV infection from their HIV-infected mothers.
They discovered that immunologically active components called human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) – a type of carbohydrate made up of several simple sugars linked together – may protect from HIV transmission. These complex oligosaccharides are the third-most abundant component of breast milk, yet are not digestible and therefore become highly concentrated in the mucosal surfaces of the infant's gastrointestinal tract.
"HMO act as prebiotics that promote the growth of desirable bacterial communities in the infant's intestine," said Bode. Additionally, HMO structurally resembles sugar chains called glycans that are normally found on epithelial cell surfaces, and can serve as "decoy" receptors to inhibit pathogens from binding. Last, HMO exhibit anti-inflammatory activity and have been shown to modulate immune cell responses in cell and animal models.
The researchers analyzed HMO amount and composition in breast milk samples collected from more than 200 women as part of a larger study of HIV-infected women and their infants in Lusaka, Zambia, following them from birth to 24 months. (Most were recruited to the study and followed before antiretroviral therapy became available to them, thus offering a unique look at associations between HMO and HIV transmission.)
Higher concentrations of HMO in milk were associated with protection against postnatal HIV transmission, independent of other known risk factors. In the future, a better understanding of how individual HMO facilitate or obstruct HIV transmission may guide the development of interventions to complement antiretroviral strategies and more effectively prevent transmission, according to the researchers.

Economic Growth and Real Exchange Rate: An Overview of the Balassa-Samuelson Hypothesis in Asia
AbstractThe paper tests the Balassa-Samuelson hypothesis (rapid economic growth is accompanied by real exchange rate appreciation because of differential productivity growth between tradable and nontradable sectors) using data of the APEC economies. Japan, Korea, Taiwan and, to a lesser extent, Hong Kong and Singapore, were proved to follow the Balassa-Samuelson path. These countries follow a similar industrialization pattern, increasing the weight of high value-added exports. Although Hong Kong and Singapore grew fast, their real exchange rates appreciated only moderately. High productivity growth in service sectors might have been the reason for this. Other fast-growing ASEAN countries, such as Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia did not experience real appreciation. Closer examinations of various components of the Balassa-Samuelson hypothesis revealed that key assumptions are not uniformly supported: There is no uniform pattern for the movement of nontradable prices relative to tradable prices; and tradable prices (measured by common currency) do not show the international arbitrage.

Students flee university for fundraiser
Two law students from Leeds are hoping to charm their way to victory in a hitch-hiking challenge that will help to change the lives of disabled children.
Rowenna Harris and Karlee Dunn-Jackson will flee the Leeds University campus this morning and aim to get as far as possible in 36 hours.
But they won't have a penny in their pocket, and will instead by relying on a map, their powers of persuasion and the generosity of members of the public.
The duo will race against the clock as part of a Jailbreak Challenge set up by Leeds University RAG.
Rowenna and Karlee will be supporting Caudwell Children, a charity which provides practical and emotional support to disabled children throughout the UK.
The 22-year-olds have already raised more than £500 for the charity ahead of their challenge.
– Rowenna Harris
We heard about the Jailbreak and thought it was a really different and exciting fundraising idea, one that would allow us to get a lot of people involved, particularly through social media. So far it seems to be working, we have received a lot of support on Twitter and people seem really interested in how we're going to get on.
– Trudi Beswick, chief executive of Caudwell Children
We are very excited to be chosen by Rowenna and Karlee to benefit from their incredible challenge. We will be supporting them as much as possible and keeping up-to-date with their progress. It is thanks to the generosity and thoughtfulness of people like Rowenna and Karlee that we are able to continue providing vital support to disabled children and their families.
We would urge people to get behind Rowenna and Karlee's efforts and support their amazing adventure.

Formerly called the Patagonia Express, this wonderful café and restaurant serves fruit-filled pastries that are baked fresh every day. The restaurant has a varied menu of sandwiches, pizza, and more, and an extensive wine list. In summer, this is an especially great ice-cream stop—head for one of the tables outside on the sidewalk. This place also stays quite lively until about 3 am on summer nights.

I really wanted to share this because while this piece of audio is on the Five Nights at Freddy's wiki, I haven't seen anyone else upload this audio on its own, and maybe not everybody's noticed this yet.
Please be aware that it WILL scream when you click play! But I added a fade-in at the beginning to make it less surprising.
In-game, the scream is cut off when the screen goes to static, so all you really hear are the first few seconds that sound like a mechanical screech. But when the entire audio clip is played, you can clearly hear it's the scream of a child.
The disturbing implications support many fan theories, including my own.

text: Income Care with either monthly or lump sum benefits Important information Total and Permanent Disability Cover and Income Care Cover are components of the Personal Insurance Portfolio, issued by CommInsure, a registered business name of The Colonial Mutual Life Assurance Society Limited ABN 12 004 021 809 AFSL 235035 (CMLA) a wholly owned but non-guaranteed subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ABN 48 123 123 124. The taxation information and examples are of a general nature only and should not be regarded as specific advice. It is based on the continuation of present taxation laws (2008-2009 rates), rulings and their interpretation as at the issue date of this brochure. As this advice has been prepared without considering your objectives, financial situation or needs, you should before acting on this advice, consider its appropriateness to your circumstances. A Product Disclosure Statement issued by CMLA for Personal Insurance Portfolio is available from your financial adviser, by calling 13 10 56 or from comminsure.com.au and should be considered in making any decision about the product. CommInsure is a registered business name of CMLA. BCB Income protection insurance is a valuable form of cover that provides up to 75% of your income if you are sick or injured and cannot work. Premiums are generally tax deductible. Benefits are normally paid monthly and like your income, these benefits are subject to tax. Receiving monthly benefits makes sense if the claim period is short and you eventually return to work, as it ensures you still have money regularly coming in. But if your sickness or injury is serious and you will never return to work then monthly benefits may not be the best way to receive that money. CommInsure's Income Care Range is different to other income protection policies due to our unique, no additional cost feature that gives you the choice on how you would like to receive your benefits for a serious claim and you are unable to ever return to work: (i) An ongoing monthly benefit subject to tax Or (ii) A lump sum payment, which we can pay tax free. You decide which option to take. If your claim is not serious and you eventually return to work, we (like most insurance companies) will pay the benefit only on a monthly basis. 1 When does the lump sum option apply? If you have an accident, or suffer from an injury or illness that means you become totally and permanently disabled (TPD) and you are unable to return to work, then you can have the choice to take either an ongoing monthly benefit or the immediacy of a lump sum payment.# # Referred to as Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Cover Option in CommInsure's Income Care Range. What's the difference between monthly benefits and a lump sum? Monthly benefit Lump sum – applies to all claims – option applies if you become TPD Tax to be paid on benefits Tax free benefits 100% of your premium 90% of your premium is is tax deductible tax deductible Provides regular cash flow Lump sum could be invested to create ongoing income Ongoing claim forms Once lump sum paid, no more and possible medicals ongoing paperwork required and doctors reports could be required Can meet loan Could pay off large debts and repayments mortgage to reduce worries and save on interest costs Monthly benefits Could require financial advice on help with budgeting investing your lump sum and generating an additional income stream Monthly benefit could be Lump sum can provide a buffer to eroded by unanticipated cover large costs such as home and medical costs car modifications or non-claimable medical and treatment costs 2 How do I apply for this option? To select the lump sum option you must tell us at time of application and this is recorded in your premium quote. If you do not choose this no additional cost option when you apply for cover then at claim time a monthly benefit will be the only type of payment offered. How does tax apply? If you select at time of application to receive only monthly benefits for all claims, then 100% of the premium is tax deductible. However, if you select to have the choice of monthly benefit or a lump sum, then 90% of premiums are tax deductible*. The remaining 10% of the Income Protection premiums are deemed to be cost related to the tax free lump sum benefit so are not tax deductible. Each year in July we will send you a letter advising the amount to put down as a deduction in your tax pack. Even though your premiums tax deductibility reduces slightly, it could mean a large tax saving if a lump sum is paid tax free. Please see the case study that explains how this works. * Exclusive ruling sought by CommInsure. ATO tax ruling CR2005/15, 30 March 2005. 3 How do we calculate the lump sum amount? The Lump Sum Benefit is calculated as the lesser of either: • $3 million or • An amount equal to an age-based multiple of the Annualised Monthly Benefit Annualised The Lump Age-based Sum Benefit = Monthly Benefit x multiple (i.e Monthly Benefit x 12) If you have selected the Super Continuance monthly benefit option we also add this to your Monthly Benefit before applying the formula. Age based multiple is: Age next birthday Multiple Less than 40 years 15 40 – 44 inclusive 13 45 – 49 inclusive 11 50 – 55 inclusive 9 56 or more 65 minus their age next birthday when the Lump Sum Benefit becomes payable If the lesser of the above amount is a nil or negative amount, no Lump Sum Benefit is payable. 4 Edward's Story Edward (35) is an IT consultant at a large investment bank earning $142,000 pa. His financial adviser recommended and put in place a wealth protection plan, including $1m of life insurance and TPD cover inside their superannuation fund. He also took out income protection insurance of $8,855 monthly benefit with a $550 superannuation benefit with a 3 month waiting period and benefit period paid to age 65. His income protection premiums were: Income Care Premium Net premium Premium payable (after tax deduction) Edward $1,350.81 $846.28 Unfortunately, Edward was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident while driving home from work one night. Edward suffered a major head trauma, multiple fractures and a spinal injury which left him a quadriplegic. Edward's insurance case manager felt that it would take approximately 3 months in order to assess the claim fully and organised for a bed confinement benefit payment of $27,000 to be paid immediately to Edward. 5 Once the claim was finalised Edward received payment made up of the Income care lump sum benefit of $1,593,900, and Super Continuance option of $99,000. The whole of this $1,692,900 benefit amount was tax free. These substantial funds helped cover the medical costs and rehabilitation care as a result of his paralysis. Importantly, he was also able to pay off the mortgage, and commence modifications to the family home. Edward's details Age = 35 years Age-based multiple = 15 Monthly Benefit = $8,855 Super Continuance = $550 Benefit Monthly Lump Sum Benefit Payment Monthly sum insured = $8,855 = $8,855 Super Continuance = $550* = $550 Total Monthly Benefit = $9,405 = $9,405 = $6,668# = $1,692,900 Net benefit (approximate tax free net of tax) Premium payable = $1,350.81 = $1,350.81 Net Premium payable = $790.22 = $846.28 (after tax deduction) So Edward's net premium after tax deduction was $56.06 more however, Edward was able to receive $1,692,900 tax free. * This amount is paid direct to Edward's nominated superannuation provider. # Note: Tax is not deducted from benefit payment but is payable via your tax return assessment. 6 Key benefits With CommInsure's Income Care, when you select the tax-free lump sum benefit (in the event of TPD) you are able to: • Certify your disability just once at claim time, and avoid reassessment of disability every month. • Keep the payment, regardless of any future medical advancement rendering you healthy and capable of working. • Perhaps invest your lump sum payment and generate an additional income stream. 7 Why CommInsure?

Trade Area Analysis of Select Wisconsin Counties: Update for 1999
AbstractThe development of a community's retail market should be an integral part of the community development process. Some, however, might argue that the retail sector develops naturally following other types of economic development such as growth in the manufacturing sector or an influx of tourists. To a degree this is true. Several factors, however, may prevent this process from being completely efficient.
