Do you need to buy life insurance? If you do, it is probable you are asking yourself, "How much insurance do I need?", "What kind of policy is best for me?" and "Which insurance company should I buy from?" Buying life insurance can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be.
When considering life insurance, be sure to look outside what your employer provides. While this may be easier and you may assume they are providing what is best for you, it is not always the case. Make sure that they rates and coverage are competitive or better than other offers that you could go with.
When considering life insurance, be sure to adopt a healthy lifestyle, as this will greatly effect your rates. Give up smoking and lose weight. Be sure to be forthcoming with this information, as well as any other healthy activities that you can name. Your rate is often time negotiable.
Even if you do not provide an income to your family, a life insurance policy might be worth considering. If you are a stay at home parent, there would be costs associated with child care and house upkeep in the event of your death. Funeral costs can also be expensive. Talk to an insurance expert to decide how much insurance is right for you.
Before you commit to a life insurance policy, be sure to look around and compare rates. You do not want to be stuck with a policy that will not provide your loved ones with sufficient funds. If you are unsure of which companies are reliable, you can look at online reviews.
Obtain life insurance from financial professionals, not through brokers. In most cases, insurance brokers are paid a commission based on the insurance policy you purchase. Financial advisers, however, are simply given a flat fee. This makes a financial adviser more likely to sell you a policy based solely on your needs, and not on the amount of commission he will earn.
If you have a high risk job or hobby, be up front about it. While it may cost you more in premium cost, it's better than having a claim declined by the insurance company. Intentionally hiding this information is a form of fraud, and it can carry big penalties.
Try opting for a term-life policy. This is known as the best and simplest option for many Americans ages 20 to around 50. The cash-value life insurance policies can be a great option for wealthy people over 60 years of age. For the average person though, term-life insurance is a great option.
Make adjustments on your plans as needed. Life changes to your policy can greatly affect it. Things that can cause a change to coverage, include marriage, divorce, birth of a child or the beginning of caring for an elderly parent. You could even reach a point, most likely after your kids reach adulthood and your retirement amount is achieved, where you could stop life insurance coverage altogether.
If you would prefer a permanent life insurance policy but can only afford term insurance, buy a convertible policy. At any point during your term policy, you can choose to convert to permanent life insurance. This helps keep rates lower when you are younger, and as you advance in your career your budget might have more room for permanent coverage. You will not have to take any medical exam to convert, which is important if you have developed any health conditions.
Buy your life insurance policy from a reliable company that is still likely to be around to pay your death benefit should you pass away 10, 20 or 50 years from the time you purchase it. Avoid unfamiliar insurance companies that don't have a proven track record. You're much safer going with one of the well-known companies that have been in business for decades.
If you smoke cigarettes or cigars or chew tobacco, you could save some money on your life insurance policy by quitting. Insurance companies don't care whether you smoke socially or smoke several packs per day. So, even a "light" habit could cost you. Even young smokers pay more for life insurance than they would if they did not smoke, due to the higher risk of health problems.
As you can see, buying a life insurance policy is not as hard as you once thought it could be. By using the tips mentioned, you can successfully and smoothly choose and buy the policy that is right for you. Now that you have the information you need, what are you waiting for?

Patient health is at grave risk in the current digital era, as sophisticated adversaries utilize technology to perform digital attacks that can result in physical harm. While Healthcare IT typically prioritizes protecting patient records (PHI), this omits the crucial overall healthcare mission of championing patient health against possible attacks against the healthcare digital ecosystem.

Growth-hacking rose to prominence in 2010 as a model to rapidly grow a company through unconventional techniques. The concept caught on with marketers at large and small companies as well as its fair share of detractors. In this spirited interview, Christine Crandell discusses with Greg Ott, Intuit's VP of Marketing for QuickBooks Online, growth-hacking's applicability to larger organizations and if it can help to reverse Marketing's cred as corporate bad boy.
The 20 minute video interview with 10 minute audience Q&A will also explore how technology drives change companies may not be ready for and how marketers can turn to their advantage.
Your company can learn valuable lessons about risk strategy and incident response from what happened to Hacking Team, a firm that supplies surveillance tools to government agencies. Widely accused of helping governments spy on dissidents and journalists, Hacking Team found itself hacked with embarrassing, possibly damaging results. ESET senior security researcher Stephen Cobb explains the missteps made and the lessons to be learned during this webinar.
Key takeaways:
•How Hacking Team's mistakes mirrored those made by Sony
•How employees' weak passwords helped facilitate the breach
•How transparency would have helped Hacking Team's credibility
•Why every company must review what might be exposed in a breach
James Hanlon, Security Strategist at Symantec, looks at both the current cyber poisons and potential antidotes to the cyber security challenge. The discussion will focus current threat landscape and the changes we are seeing in regard to hacking and cyber attacks.

"That's a lot of why you're seeing the major media companies, the major cloud providers, the major telcos, for example, being targeted in today's environment. They're being utilized as trusted conduits to their constituencies." Tom Kellermann, VP of Cybersecurity at Trend Micro, gives a primer on so-called "island hopping" network attacks and how hackers are using them successfully to take over infrastructures.Read more >
No, we're not hacking celebs, but someone else surely is.
Alicia Webb chats with our Hollywood hacker consultant Ralph Echemendia about just who has been hacked and what personal information has potentially been compromised.
Ralph Echemendia is the founder and CEO of RED-E Digital http://red-edigital.com
Marketers know better than anyone that a compelling brand experience is one of the most essential elements in driving a business forward, both in acquiring new customers and building customer loyalty. Every interaction between an individual and a brand can be considered one of those experiences, and therefore, it's imperative to get it right - every time, in every channel.
In the attempt to effectively engage a customer across all channels and devices, the focus of many marketers shifted from building the best possible customer experiences to managing the many technologies that drive it. And in the attempt to build the perfect technology infrastructure, the marketer has become a hacker first - and creator of the brand experience second.
In this interactive discussion on March 17th, we'd like to give the technological and organizational guidance needed to allow marketers to redirect the time and energy being spent on hacking back to driving rich, real-time customer interactions. David Raab, Principal at Raab Associates, and Chris Slovak, VP of Global Sales Solutions at Tealium, will dive into:
•The four strategic pillars of successful customer engagement
•The importance of a strategy executed by technology, rather than just a technology strategy
•The four tent-poles of a well-functioning marketing technology stack
•The approach of putting customer data at the center, and building out
We hope you'll join us.
Financial firms of all shapes and sizes are facing advanced threats on a daily basis – rarely a day goes by without seeing another headline about a cyberattack or data breach. Cybercriminals are going after the most sensitive data knowing how and where to find it.
With compliance standards and audit regulations becoming more stringent, and the rising prevalence of cyber threats, the need to protect vulnerable critical information has never been more important. During this webinar, CounterTack and Proficio will discuss the growing need for financial institutions to have next-generation endpoint security solutions combined with 24x7 security monitoring and alerting.
During this session you learn:
• Why endpoints have become the focus for attackers
• What you can do to secure endpoints in today's threat landscape
• Best practices for meeting security regulation and compliance standards
• The role of security monitoring and alerting in keeping critical assets safe

Another word for "seat check", "quack quack seat back" or "seat lock." This is often used when one individual has a good chair/seating position and is called so no one can take their spot. This can only be called if you are already on the seat, and must be called before you stand up. The spot can be immediately taken if not called. They previous sitter though, can sit back down and call it before anyone else does if they forget. Not following these rules is very disrespectful.
Tim had the best spot while we were watchin The Office. He went to go to the bathroom and forgot to call "seatzie weatzies" so I took his spot.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
The saga of the Grand Prix d'Angouleme has taken another sour turn, as one of three finalists for the festival's top honor has asked people not to vote for her.
French illustrator Claire Wendling said she doesn't want the Angouleme International Comics Festival award, writing on Facebook, "Would you like to please me? Don't vote for me any more."
Alan Moore, Claire Wendling and Hermann have been named as finalists for the Angouleme International Comics Festival's Grand Prix.
The announcement arrives two weeks after the unveiling of an all-male list of nominees for the festival's top honor sparked calls for a boycott, leading 12 creators to ask that their names be withdrawn from consideration.
Under fire, organizers briefly offered up a revised list that included six female creators, only to quickly change course and announce academy members could vote for whomever they like.
With the release last week of Princess Ugg #4, writer/artist Ted Naifeh cleared some time in his schedule to discuss the ongoing Oni Press series. After years spent with Courtney Crumrin, the creator moves into new territory by combining barbarian adventure with a princess finishing school to create a social satire/adventure tale.
While I had read the first few issues in preparation for our discussion, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to learn Naifeh created the character out of a desire to "play with Frazetta-style barbarian fantasy." That turns out to be just one aspect of his work I was delighted to learn about, has his candor about the creator/editor dynamics also proved informative.

Hello, my name is Robin (Bewley) Johnson, and I teach Yoga for Hope, Peace, and Cancer Recovery and am also a Healing Touch practitioner for the Loran Smith Center for Cancer Support. Professionally, I'm a Health Educator who worked at Athens Regional my whole career.
Yoga offers so much to people all along their journey with cancer and after. Moving the body in gentle ways with the breath allows participants to keep or regain their strength, loosen sore or tight muscles, and buffer many of the side effects that treatment can cause. When I've asked classes what benefits them most, the breathing practices are mentioned most often. They help folks relax, fall back asleep, and concentrate.
The group itself is a gift to participants; they encourage and support each other. We have one participant who is a nine-year survivor and another who is close to 90 years old. This is very encouraging for many people.
Healing Touch clients come for relaxation, pain relief, management of side effects,
sleep difficulties, grief, and other problems. It is an opportunity to let someone help as you rest. In some ways, what I do with Healing Touch is a contrast to the yoga. Folks in yoga are at a place where they can participate—both physically and emotionally.
Healing Touch is available for those who may not be ready for groups or for physical
exertion. While there are certainly folks who use both yoga and Healing Touch, sometimes a group seems too much, or there is too much pain or fatigue.
As a lifelong educator, I love to help people grow, assist them to see inner resources
they might not be aware of and to become stronger. It is a privilege to be a resource for reducing pain and anxiety, and if necessary, to stand with someone who is facing the end of life. I am honored to do the work I do.

The focus of my research is to identify and understand the role of intermediate RNA regulatory networks in the development of plant cells and their interactions with other species. We use transcriptomics data and computational biology to decipher RNA regulatory networks at three levels: plant single-cell, conserved regulatory networks across plant species and trans-kingdom cross-talk. My research includes large scale experiments and data mining. My computational analysis approache integrate 1) mRNA expression, 2) sRNA expression (miRNA, siRNA), 3) lncRNA expression, 4) sRNA—mRNA interactions, 5) sRNA—lncRNA interactions, 5) lncRNA—mRNA interactions, and 6) sRNA-directed cleaved mRNA accumulations. The general strategies are to correlate RNA networks in space and time to interpret function, and to use cross-species comparisons to identify conserved and co-evolved regulatory networks.

Does the looming prospect of Valentine's Day leave you feeling a bit, 'meh'? Well, let these on-screen couples be your guide to date night bliss.
Here's some romantic tips and tricks, alternative venue suggestions and reminders that romance isn't all roses. Plus, some stuff (like the dreamy pictures above) that will elevate your expectations drastically, and probably set you up for disappointment (sorry-not-sorry).
When Harry Met Sally
Don�t ever underestimate a date at a deli. Sometimes the off-menu specials are mind-blowing.
Cher taught us all a valuable lesson: trying to be covertly alluring can result in injury. Sometimes, if someone says they just want to watch movies, it isn�t code for anything.
If a dude cares enough to scale a Ferris wheel in order to ask you out while you�re on another date, he�s a keeper.
Dirty Dancing
This Valentine's Day, find your inner feline � deux. The couple that crawls together, stays together.
10 Things I hate About You
Sure, there was the singing on the bleachers and the achey-breaky poem read out it class, but this film also featured a scene that started with a pedalo ride and ended with a paintball fight � and if that doesn�t epitomise #dategoals, we don't know what does.
500 Days Of Summer
Going to Ikea and pretending you live there? It�s a relationship right of passage. What could be sexier than all those streamlined Scandinavian furnishings: if you find yourself whispering things like �FL�RDFULL and SNICKARG�RDEN� into your lover�s ear, you�re doing it right.
Notting Hill
It's nice when you finally reach that stage in a relationship where you let them see you with your glasses on. True love is blind.
Why not make a date at a toy shop, complete with animal masks a la Holly and Paul? Caveat: we suggest you pay for everything you walk out with.
Pulp fiction
Recipe for romance: after 10 minutes of cerebral seduction over meat and milkshakes, enter a twist contest (barefoot).

Recent criticism of the federal minimum wage for tipped workers does not paint the true picture of the restaurant industry or my company, Darden Restaurants. The accessibility of the American Dream may be in question in our country as a whole, but it is alive and well in the restaurant industry and is a passion and mission for us at Darden.

Awesome! This was a fantastic cobbler and the whole family loved it! Used frozen organic peaches which I sliced a bit thinner. I rarely make the same thing twice, but can't wait to make this again. Served warm with vanilla bean ice cream. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This is a really, really, really good! I liked the fact the cobbler part was a bit lighter and fluffier than other cobbler's I've made not that they weren't any good but this was different and a nice change. I really liked the step where you warm the peach mixture up. That made a lot of sense in getting the sugars to melt completely. Smart step, in my opinion. I did have to use canned peaches because the fresh ones at the store didn't look to good and didn't even smell good and were hard as a rock. I used two drained 29 oz. cans of sliced peaches. I didn't drain it real well so that they were a little "juicy" it worked well and in my opinion this is really a cobbler worth making for a delicious desert. Thanks, Momma!

140 - 1900s Homburg
|These pieces are currently Made to Order and will take 2-3 weeks to make before shipping Made in the USAAbout the time of our Founder's death in 1900 and beginning of the leadership of his son George W. Bollman, the Homburg hat was taking its place in hat style history. Popularized in England by Edward VII after visiting Germany and bringing one back as a keepsake, the Homburg is one of the oldest formally-styled hats. As the King of England from 1901 to 1910, Edward was known as "The Peacemaker" for his efforts in fostering good relations between England and other European countries. Perhaps the Homburg was a perk of the King's diplomatic successes, but the style enjoyed its own surprising success in Great Britain and in America.The Homburg resurfaced in the 1970's as the "Godfather" and eventually became an early staple of the hip-hop movement. The Bollman Hat Company contributed its own color and flair during each phase of the Homburg's evolution. Bollman was integral to developing the style's current counter-cultural appeal by creating a variety of diverse colors including sugar pink, burnt orange, lime green and lemon yellow.100% wool felt.4 1/4" high center dent crown.2 3/4" bound edge brim.Printed leather sweat, custom 140th lining.

Five things to know about Football Manager Live
Football Manager Live will be in stores on 23 January and you've missed out on all the gossip. The game is being described as a combination of Football Manager, Fantasy Football, eBay, with a dollop of social networking thrown in. Here are the five things you really need to know about the game.
It's online only
You have to go online to play it. In fact, the more time you spend online, playing Football Manager Live the better. Oh yes, if you sign-up and don't go online, the game will play in your absence using your last best configuration, but you won't win that way, will you? Oh, and it's 24/7 world-wide action, so you can always find someone to play.
You make your own team
You don't just stroll in and select Chelsea. Well, you could try, but there might be a thousand other people trying to do the same thing. No, you need to make your own team. You'll also have to pick your kit and design your team badge. Your players are drawn from real footballers, but there is only one of each player, so you won't find Christiano Ronaldo in every team.
You start with no skills and the game grows around you
That's right. You might think you know the transfer market like Harry Redknapp, but you have to prove it. Football Manager Live gives you the chance to progress by playing the game. Game skills you might take for granted in Football Manager have to be learnt. But whilst you grow, so does the game – not only in unlocking features, but also in game updates. The expected update cycle is about every 3-4 months.
It's all about gameworlds
You have to enter a gameworld to play. Each gameworld will have 1000 mangers, each with a team, each gunning for the top spot. Within that gameworld you'll have associations, leagues and competitions. You can play the games live, but you have to play them within a given time frame. If you're not online, the footballing world goes on. You can set-up your own competitions too, so you can have competitions with your mates for the ultimate bragging rights.
How much is this going to cost me?
You mean in cash or in terms of life? Football Manager Live has been designed to accommodate those who want to take advantage of the 24/7 online gaming action, but also those who can only put in a few hours a week. But as a "live" game, it is subscription-based, so as long as you want to play, you'll have to pay. The games comes with the first 4 months free, but after that, expect to pay £22.99 for 3 months, £43.99 for 6 months, or £72.99 for a year.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

hollybierbower 2y agoThe family absolutely loves this! Been making this for the last couple years now. Going to make it again tonight with a homemade graham cracker crust :-)
WheelyMum 2y agoI made this tonight and I used white chocolate and Ginger biscuits for the base and sprinkled small pieces of the biscuits on the top with some pieces of stem ginger in syrup too. As I am in England we don't have cool whip so I used double cream and it worked great and everyone seemed to like it and some said they loved it. I think I might put some citrus fruits or some sharp berries with it next time to cut through the creaminess. Definitely worth a shot at making, thanks for the recipe.
Joelle909 3y agoI haven't made it and I won't be. I know it's very tasty because I made something similar to it. I'm not going to make anything out of cool whip because it consists mainly of processed vegetable oils and high fructose corn syrup. They're bad for u!!

Week 5's 'hidden stars'
Pierre Thomas among players who outperformed their stats in Week 5
Drew Brees is on some kind of tear in New Orleans right now. He's surpassed 300 yards passing in four of his team's five games -- all wins -- and would be a clear-cut favorite for Most Valuable Player honors to this point of the season were it not for one of the Manning brothers (we can all guess which one).
Jimmy Graham is on some kind of tear in New Orleans right now, too. He's Brees' favorite target, and the best tight end in the NFL right now by a mile (and will hold the title until Rob Gronkowski comes back). He's also setting himself up for a payday that will be previously unheard of for a TE; some project he'll have an average annual salary that exceeds $10 million.
Heck, even the defense is on some kind of tear in New Orleans right now, as defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has rapidly transformed the group into an attacking, relentless 11-man headache for opposing offenses.
But winning games in the NFL isn't just about relying on your obvious stars. Or, in the case of the Saints, your group of stars. Sometimes it takes that extra kick from a player whose merits are under-appreciated by the masses when examining the box score. One player who falls into this category for Week 5 has seemingly been under-appreciated for much of the past few seasons.
Pierre Thomas leads our weekly list of the NFL's hidden stars.
1. Pierre Thomas, RB, New Orleans Saints
His rushing stats from Sunday won't blow anyone away -- they were a forgettable 19 attempts for 36 yards -- but Thomas found the end zone twice as a receiver, including once on a 25-yard screen pass for a walk-in touchdown.

LOS ANGELES Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, involved in ventures that have included attempting to circle the globe in a balloon and selling space travel to the affluent, says people should to have the freedom to get high on Earth without risking going to jail.
The British billionaire argues that criminal punishment fails to stem drug abuse, and is calling on countries to decriminalize drug use and eliminate criminal penalties on narcotics consumers. He argues that countries should even consider legalizing drugs.
"The prohibition of drugs has worked no better than the prohibition of alcohol, and serves only to empower violent criminal cartels and harm U.S. citizens," he said in an e-mail interview with Reuters.
U.S. officials counter that the drug war has succeeded in keeping many forms of drug abuse in check.
Branson's campaign comes as the U.S. states of Washington and Colorado plan to include the issue of whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use in November's election, setting up a potential showdown with the Federal government.
Branson verbally jousted earlier this month with the likes of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and former London police chief Ian Blair at a Web debate hosted by Google+ titled "It's Time to End the War on Drugs."
Branson serves on the Global Commission on Drug Policy, which has among its members former presidents of Colombia, Brazil and Switzerland and released a report last year critical of the drug war, dismissing arguments that the threat of prosecution is necessary to get addicts into treatment.
"There is literally no evidence that the threat of incarceration deters drug use," Branson said.
Earlier this year, Guatemalan President Otto Perez called for a broader debate on drug policy and for countries to consider removing criminal penalties for narcotics, and said he would raise the issue at a Latin American summit in April.
But that and similar calls by former Latin American leaders have met with resistance from the United States, which rejects arguments that the drug war is a failure and says it is important to prevent people becoming addicted to drugs.
Branson said he was encouraged by Portugal's experience since it abandoned criminal prosecution for drug use in 2001.
Portugal's Institute on Drugs and Drug Addiction has reported that the percentage of drug addicts in newly diagnosed HIV patients dropped to 22 percent in 2008 from 40 percent in 2002. Illicit drug use is linked to the spread of HIV, due to factors such as the sharing of heroin needles.
The institute found use of certain drugs in Portugal had increased only slightly since decriminalization, with the percentage of the population that had used cocaine at least once rising to 1.9 percent in 2007 from 0.9 percent in 2001.
"The problem now is that governments lack credibility," Branson said. "People know alcohol is more dangerous than pot, so the hypocrisy in the system makes government advertisements useless."
When asked if, as a business leader, he would expect worker productivity to flag if marijuana was legalized, Branson said cigarettes and alcohol were more dangerous and caused illness and absenteeism.
"But in business, productivity continues to rise despite the availability of alcohol and cigarettes," he said. "I don't think pot would be any different."
A. Thomas McLellan, a former deputy director of the U.S, Office of National Drug Control Policy said he agreed with calls for drug decriminalization, but not legalization.
"Drug use is subject to the same laws as any other attractive commodity," said McLellan, who lost a son to a drug overdose in 2008. "If you make it easier to obtain, more convenient, cheaper, free, you're going to have more users."
