Subjects: Visa Revalidation Bill, Citizenship, US resettlement of refugees from Nauru and PNG, Prime Minister comments in Parliament.
The Immigration Minister Peter Dutton is with me now. So what is Labor actually concerned about here? What powers will this Bill give you?
David, if you want to look at a rolled gold stunt this is it. I mean, this is unbelievable. On Sunday the Shadow Minister said to me, 'look, we've got no problem with the Bill; there's a disallowance that we might move a motion to amend, or might move an amendment, would you support it?' I said 'we'll have a look at it and come back to you'. I had no other problems with the Bill - nothing expressed whatsoever.
Obviously what has happened here is Shayne Neumann has been rolled in the Caucus earlier this week and they've done a complete backflip.
There was a Labor Party inquiry into this, or a Senate inquiry which included …
…and that didn't raise concerns?
……didn't raise it.
The recommendation was that this Bill should be passed.
So to put into context what we're doing here, we're, with a 10 year visitor visa for people from China, allowing people hopefully to come in on multiple occasions as visitors over that 10 year period because we want to boost tourism, jobs, et cetera, and we're saying if peoples' circumstances change over the course of that 10 years then we want to reserve the right to stop them essentially from coming.
And equally if there is, for example, in China people with this visa, that have a valid visa to come to Australia, if there's an Ebola outbreak or a bird flu, we can essentially stop people with that visa category coming into Australia.
Now, they've tried to turn that into something that it's not …
…a Trump-style immigration …
… it's a stunt. It's a distraction from Bill Shorten's whipping in the Parliament yesterday.
Would the legislation - I get that's what it's intended to do - but would it also give you any powers to review visa classes based on the nationality of …
…no, only those - those that are proscribed under this particular Act …
…so it's only those 10 year China visa holders?
And we might negotiate with India, for example, to have a 10 year visa.
Right, and it's only those ones?
Yes, because the modern age, David, means that if people have got biometrics taken and we can anchor their identity, you can have a travel document for a longer period of time.
And we're competing with the Europeans, with the Americans on tourist numbers, and this is a stunt. I mean, it's a pretty serious issue actually, because it's a national security Bill effectively, and you've got Labor playing political stunts. Now, as I say, it's clear and plain to everybody here that Mr Neumann got rolled in the caucus.
He's not asked one question in the Parliament today and he's put out a press release this afternoon to say, you know, we've forgotten about all the other claims we made about the Trump stuff; we're now saying that this is affecting Chinese tourism numbers coming into Australia. It is a complete debacle.
Let me ask you though for the record, would you support Australia or indeed the Minister having the power to ban certain visa-holders based on their nationality, on where they're born - Syrians for example.
No, based on threat. I mean based on threat. We're blind to the nationality, the race, the creed, but if somebody poses a threat we're not going to allow them into this country.
So the sort of things Donald Trump has done is not something you would do?
…..and this Bill was introduced…
….absolutely. In terms of your question about whether you proscribe particular - somebody by religion – our policy which has been longstanding, that has served us well, is that we assess the threat.
This Bill was introduced in October and there was a Senate inquiry, as I said, last year - it raised no concerns about it.
Can I ask you about a couple of other things?
You've been looking at a tougher citizenship test for a period now of those wanting to become Australian citizens with a greater focus, as you've put it, on willingness to integrate – learn English, get a job and so on. Where is that process up to now?
We're working through that. So we've obviously got a security intelligence aspect to it as well, so we're having a look at the practical way that it might work and then if it's something we decide to proceed with we'll make an announcement.
But ultimately it says that we want people to share Australian values. If you want to live in this country you need to abide by the law and if you're not going to abide by the law, or you're not going to work if you've got a capacity to work, if you're going to spend your time on welfare, or your kids are involved in Apex gangs in Victoria for instance, then really we need to question whether that person is the best possible citizen.
Yeah, at the moment there's a 20 question, random question test that asks you things about Don Bradman and so on. You're talking here about willingness to embrace Australian values, willingness to work.
Most people would say, you know, I'm willing to work, wouldn't they? Why do you need to ask that question?
No, so we move away, in my judgement, we move away from a Q&A as it operates at the moment, sort of a multi-choice-type test on Australiana-type topics, which is important, but we're talking about somebody becoming an Australian citizen.
We move away from that, in my judgement, to something which is more objective and that is that we look at the conduct of people over the preceding three or four years of their residency here, or in some cases potentially you could look at peoples' conduct in another country before they applied for permanent residency to come here.
What, their criminal record, or …
… well we do that now, but it could go beyond that. We could look at whether or not somebody has been involved in an outlaw motorcycle gang, we could look at whether somebody has been involved, for example, in domestic violence, we could look at whether or not somebody had children that were of school age, but had not attended school for extended periods over that preceding three or four years.
There are different tests that you could apply.
So if your kids didn't go to school you may not be able to become an Australian citizen?
Well it could be part of a bigger picture that you could paint to say if your kids are breaking the law, if they're involved in gang violence, if members of your family have been involved in distributing drugs. I mean, it's a complete picture that we need to look at and I don't think we should be ashamed, David, in this country to say that we are a great country, we are built on migration, people for generations have come here, worked hard, and the vast majority do the right thing.
There are 65 million people around the world that would set up in Australia tomorrow and I don't think we should be embarrassed to say that we want the best of those people.
And if you don't speak English?
Well I think there are people that would suggest that over a period of time if your English language doesn't improve, that that goes to the question of integration or the ability to work or to work with your community or with your school or whatever the case might be.
So there are different aspects that we can look at and I think we can have a further discussion in due course about it, but that's where we're at at the moment.
Well I'll look forward to seeing where that lands.
On Nauru, are the US officials currently processing the claims there of refugees? Are they doing the extreme vetting that Trump's talked about? Is that happening right now?
Well I saw a report only out a couple of hours ago from one of the other television networks talking about that somehow the checks had been suspended – that is false.
So there's no pause at the moment?
No, no. So, there are my officials who are working in Washington with officials from State and from Homeland Security, going through each of those cases. So there are hundreds of cases for them to look through.
There will be further US representatives going onto Nauru at some stage in the near future. But that was always part of the phasing. So people are there for, they fly in for a certain period, conduct the checks, whatever they need to do, look at individual cases and then they were coming off for a break and then going back on.
So there's been no pause in it, that continues….. [indistinct].
…no one's actually finished being process and been accepted yet by the US?
No. No, the checks are still underway.
Now finally, my colleague Andrew Bolt has written today, I'm not sure if you saw his column in the paper.
I didn't see Andrew Bolt today.
He wrote about the fact that in his view Malcolm Turnbull has to go. He canvasses a number of options, he gives you a biggest wrap. Let me just read it. The former policeman is down-to-earth, unflappable, and no prisoners in debates. And he says you are what the Liberals need.
Oh well, I think I've made it very clear as I did with Prime Minister Abbott that I support the leader and I do so without reservation.
If I didn't support the leader I'd resign from the Cabinet. I think Malcolm Turnbull is doing a good job. I think he deserves the strong support of all of us and that is exactly what we're doing.
It would be a disaster for our country to have Bill Shorten as Prime Minister, and so all of us that have the capacity to work hard with Malcolm Turnbull to support him to make sure that his Prime Ministership is a success, that's what we're all doing, and certainly I'm signed up to that cause.
So there's no chatter going on that you're away of?
There's not, no.
And did you enjoy his performance in the Parliament yesterday? It seems to have revved up a lot of troops.
I thought it was a good performance because it was based on fact.
I think people have this hesitation in their minds when they see Bill Shorten, hear him speak. They know that he speaks with a forked tongue. They know that there is just not something right about this guy and I think Malcolm went to that yesterday and certainly by the response I've had from my electorate supporters from around the country, overwhelming support for the Prime Minister.
So it was a good idea to flick the switch to a bit more aggression in Parliament?
There's no sense standing in this game receiving blow after blow and not punching back. You need to call people out when they're fakes and frauds. I think Bill Shorten is that, and I think this is why Anthony Albanese is waiting eagerly in the wings. And I think if Anthony Albanese could pounce on Bill Shorten tomorrow, he would do it in a heartbeat.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, thank you very much for joining us this afternoon.

Gold forced down as a message to states after President's meeting with bankers
On April 17, former U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Roy Potter issued a statement that the recent drop in gold prices was due to a forced manipulation by the central bank as a message to the states that were either demanding their physical gold back from the Fed, or who were passing legislation allowing for the free use of gold and silver. Not coincidentally, the dumping of 500 tons of paper gold onto the markets came one day after President Barack Obama's meeting with many high officials in the banking industry, to include Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon.
Lt. Col. Potter: You notice that gold took a big dip. The Federal Reserve did that by dropping a whole bunch of paper gold certificates, or however they do their trading… to lower the price to make it look like a bunch of gold had been dropped on the market when actually it hadn't.
The Purpose of that was to make gold not as attractive as an investment. But there is more to it than that. I want to point this out to you…. remember, Texas and some other states (Texas being the first one), demanded their gold back from the Federal Reserve when it was at $1600 an ounce. And now that the price has dropped, they were trying to make people not as interested in keeping (holding) it.

We Service All of Phoenix, Casa Grande & Surrounding Areas
Summer is scorpion season. Is your home ready?
Summers in Arizona are infamous for high temperatures and sweltering heat. However, residents know that the weather isn't the only thing to worry about: in Phoenix and Casa Grande, summer is also bark scorpion season. These highly venomous pests invade homes, sneaking in through small spaces on the hunt for prey like crickets, roaches, and other scorpions.
If the thought of scorpions has been keeping you up at night, give Arizona's Best Choice Pest Control a call. We offer a FREE scorpion inspection. Our multi-pronged approach to scorpion control can help you safeguard your home against these pests. The technicians at AZ Best Choice have years of experience and training in removing scorpions from homes in central Arizona. Call us today for more information!
Scorpion Control
Scorpions can be scary, but with the help of AZ Best Choice Pest Control, you'll no longer have to worry. Our experienced and trained pest control technicians have years of experience removing bark scorpions from Phoenix and Casa Grande homes—for good.
Inspection & Free Quote
If you suspect you have scorpions in your home or yard, give AZ Best Choice a call. We'll dispatch a professional for a free inspection. Our technician will use a UV light and a knowledge of common scorpion hiding places to search for the pests and determine how severe the problem is. Once they've assessed the scope of the scorpion infestation, our specialist will meet with you to review your treatment options. At this point, you'll receive an upfront, honest quote for how much the scorpion removal will cost.
Once you've accepted a treatment plan, our technician will get to work. We use Demand CS Insecticide. While safe after drying, Demand CS is 200 times more powerful than normal pesticides and doesn't break down under the strain of sun or rain. The use of pesticides helps kill off the pests that scorpions are preying on, killing off their food supply. We'll then advise you on how to block scorpion entry points, and we'll lay down glue traps and other deterrents. By denying them entry, removing their easy access to food and water, and by creating a pesticide barrier, the combined treatments from AZ Best Choice will put your home on the path to a scorpion-free future.
Home Sealing
Since they're unaffected by most forms of traditional pesticide, bark scorpions can be difficult to completely remove from your home. However, blocking their most common entry points can deter them from entry and deny them access. A home seal from the professionals at AZ Best Pest can lock bark scorpions out by covering and sealing the most common routes for both them and the prey they typically follow. Combined with traditional pest control and other common-sense measures, a home seal is one of the best ways to get rid of bark scorpions.
About Bark Scorpions
There are approximately 1,300 different species of scorpions worldwide, and more than 40 here in Arizona. However, it is by far the Arizona Bark Scorpion that gives homeowners the most headache. At first glance, the Bark Scorpion is smaller and less assuming that the larger scorpions seen in Hollywood adventure films. Yet, it is highly venomous, capable of delivering a sting that is potentially life-threatening.
As the name implies, the Bark Scorpion is capable of climbing trees, but they also like climbing brick, stucco, and other materials. Most scorpions cannot climb at all, but the Bark Scorpion is capable of climbing vertical surfaces and even hanging from ceilings. In addition, Bark Scorpions are capable of curling their stinger next to them, allowing them to squeeze between spaces no thicker than a credit card. These two qualities allow them easy access to homes in Phoenix and Casa Grande.
Bark Scorpions have another unique quality: under exposure to a UV light (also known as a "blacklight"), they glow a bright green color. This allows pest control specialists and homeowners to easily inspect for scorpions in the yard or house at night.
Why are Bark Scorpions in my home?
Bark Scorpions are nocturnal predators who enter your home in search of not only shelter but other pests, including crickets, roaches, and spiders. Thanks in part to their thick armor, normal pesticides are not as effective against scorpions as they are against other pests. However, the treatment at AZ Best Choice does include pesticides: by eliminating the bark scorpion's food source within your home, they'll be less likely to pay you a visit.
What happens when I get stung?
Most scorpion stings occur by accident when someone steps on or brushes up against one. To learn more about how to treat a bark scorpion sting, see these tips from the Mayo Clinic.
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions About Scorpion Control
Are bark scorpions deadly?
Technically, bark scorpions are considered potentially lethal. While most stings can be treated at home with the advice of a Poison Control specialist, some cause allergic reactions that require hospitalization. Deaths are extremely rare, however: since the 1960s, only two fatalities have been recorded in Arizona from a bark scorpion sting.
What are some precautions that I can take?
Many Arizonans wear sandals when walking around their home at night in the summer, so they don't step on a bark scorpion. Others place the feet of beds and cribs in glass mason jars: bark scorpions are adept climbers, but cannot grip glass surfaces. Only professional treatment can remove scorpions, however.

a mildly spiced tomato sauce topped with sweet dates.
Fourth Course - Beef or chicken shishkebab, or lamb

tall layers of flaky, crunchy phyllo dough. The sweet mint tea is
poured from a height to aerate and cool it to perfection.

Regular eye health examinations are highly recommended because they are the only way to detect, diagnose, and treat eye problems before they lead to partial or complete loss of vision. You will be checked for vision as well as eye health during a normal eye health examination; besides, the doctor will make sure that you are not suffering from eye disorders such as glaucoma and cataract.
Children vs. Adults
Eye health exams are different for children and adults. Children will be tested for vision, coordination between eyes and hands, the ability to use both eyes simultaneously, the ability of their eyes to move over a page, shift from one object to the other, and so on. The results of the exam will then be explained to the parent or caregiver who is with the child. If required, the doctor who conducted the test might prescribe glasses or contact lenses.
Eye health tests for adults will be more comprehensive and the doctor will check for disorders such as cataracts, glaucoma, and other age-related disorders.
Eye Health Exam Components
Eye health examinations usually comprise the following:
Blood Pressure
Ophthalmologists usually check blood pressure because hypertension can damage the eyes.
Glaucoma Tests
When a doctor conducts a glaucoma test on an individual, he/she tests peripheral vision, examines optic nerves, and checks intraocular pressure using a technique called tonometry.
Dilated Eye Test
The patient's eyes are dilated and then minutely studied for signs of optic nerve damage, glaucoma, cataract, retinal disorders, and macular degeneration. This test also reveals signs of medical disorders such as diabetes and hypertension, if any.
Direct Ophthalmoscopy
This technique gives doctors a magnified view of the tiniest regions at the back of your eyes, revealing problems in the retinal blood vessels, optic nerve, and macula.
Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscopy
This test helps doctors detect retinal damage, which doesn't have any symptoms, but can lead to detachment of the retina.
Visual Field Test
The doctor conducting this test creates a map of your visual field or the total area that you can visualize so that signs of glaucoma, brain tumors, strokes, and so on can be detected and treated. Computerized analyzers of visual fields often detect slight loss of peripheral vision, which no other test can detect.
Our Eye Health Exam Services
We have certified eye care specialists at Optometrist who will perform eye tests depending on your requirements. We will test your vision with and without visual aids such as contact lenses and spectacles to ascertain the best varieties of visual tools for you.
We use opthalmoscopy to conduct comprehensive eye health examinations, during which the doctor examines the internal structure of your eyes to detect conditions such as retinal damage, high intraocular pressure, glaucoma, and so on. The exam also includes digital retinal imaging, during which your retina is thoroughly examined for signs of glaucoma, hypertension, diabetes, and other disorders.
We will explain the results to you before chalking out a treatment plan. You are free to ask as many questions as you please.

The original seed was sown by the Accessories Division of CASA, which became CESA in July 1989 pursuant to a share agreement between CASA and LUCAS Aerospace, both companies being highly renowned in the field of civil and military aeronautics.
In 2007, CESA further consolidated its corporate activities with the opening of new facilities in Seville, fitting out engines and landing gears (wheels, brakes, etc.) for CN235, C295 and A400M aircraft directly within the Final Assembly Line (FAL). Moreover, for the latter aircraft, CESA provides daily support to both Flight Tests Centres in Seville and Toulouse.

Synopsis (from Author): Legends say a syphon can drain a mage dry. He'll brave the danger. Will she?
Someone's playing pranks. The body of the late Casteel patriarch has been stolen and gifted to the family's enemy, the powerful Rallises. As far as Bronte Casteel is concerned, they can keep it. She hasn't spoken to her family in thirteen years, not since they exiled her from society for her lack of mage power. But she's a syphon mage, able drain another mage's power. Syphons' destinies are always the same: death by fiery stake. She hides her secret by living among the Nons--powerless humans and the lowest class in the Republic. When her family orders her to go plead for the body's return, she comes face to face with the one man who knows her secret.
Colonel Vincent Rallis isn't letting his syphon get away this time. Not when she's under suspicion of body-napping and aiding anti-mage terrorists. He'll prove her innocence whether she wants him to or not, and then convince her they belong together...forever.
Vincent's help comes with a steep price: Bronte must reveal her power. The inevitable ensuing witch-hunt and trial would be bad enough, but even a tough girl might buckle if her prosecutors are her own parents.
Bronte faced the senator. "I'm here to ask for your help."
"Help with what, Bronte?" The gruff, hoarse words came from behind her, accompanied by a flood of vibes.
She wouldn't have recognized his voice except for that energy pouring into her. She wrenched around in her seat to see the lion prowl out of the shadows.
His gaze targeted her like she was prey that might escape. "Tell us how we can help you. And then you can explain why you ran away from me."
Her mind recorded him like a pencil scratching away at paper to save his image—his dark hair clipped short, eyebrows that formed stark lines with a skeptical bent near their ends. A crease pulled between his brows that hadn't been there before. His rugged face had weathered storms his brother had avoided. Those storms had chiseled away any softness.
She closed her eyes, stopping the mental sketching—a necessity to save her sanity. She turned her whole body back toward the senator and only opened her eyes when she knew Vincent wasn't in her line of sight.
"Vin!" Happy surprise colored every note of the senator's voice. "How long have you been standing back there? Your energy is so subdued I didn't even sense you until now."
"I didn't either." Edmund's voice was equally surprised. "Miss Casteel, your beauty has distracted us."
Bronte fought to keep her calm mask intact. Her heart boomed like the senator's voice and threatened to shake that mask right off her face. She couldn't let that happen. Diplomatic words and composure were her only weapons in this battle, a quick escape her only viable strategy. She stood, one move closer to getting to the door. At her cue, all the men stood as well.
The closer Vincent came, the more his energy reached out to her. It touched her, filled her in places she'd forgotten were empty. Dangerous memories spilled back. If she knew how, she'd dump his vibrations out of her hidden vessel, turn it over, and sit on it like a metal bucket until it sank into the dirt with the force of her weight. She'd seal her hollow spaces shut and keep him out forever. To do otherwise would only invite death to creep close.
Vincent strode toward her.
She held her ground and looked him in the eye. "I do not need your help. I am simply the messenger. Here on behalf of the Casteels." She cleared her throat to try again and turned to the senator. "Senator Rallis, my family requests your assistance."
The senator's wise gaze locked on Vincent, his expression thoughtful and full of silent words Bronte lacked the power to hear. Curiosity lit the dark depths of his gaze as they landed back on her.
Vincent leaned toward her. "And they sent you as their messenger?" His voice was soft, a caress against her skin. "The most vulnerable and weakest of them all, to fight their battles."
"I am not weak." She risked a quick glance at him. "I have plenty of strength to fight whatever battles I need to." She bit her tongue to stop her aggressive tone. Arguing would not help her cause.
"Vincent, you are making our guest uncomfortable." The senator's tone went quiet. Deadly. The boom was much safer, she realized.
"No, I'm not. At least not with my vibes, Granddad." Vincent's reply was matter-of-fact. He held all the power between them, and he was going to use it. Running for the door would not help her now.
"My mage vibes do not make her uncomfortable."
Her hold on her tongue wasn't tight enough to stop her gasp. She'd messed up. Goddess, but she'd messed up. She closed her eyes for a moment at the realization. Instead of drinking Vincent in, she should have faked a reaction to his power, imitated the jittery anxiousness Nons felt around a mage who wasn't suppressing his energy. Maybe that would have saved her.
"Vincent. She's a Non. Of course you're making her uncomfortable." The senator's reprimand was deceptively soft.
Bronte stared at Vincent as desperation swirled inside her. "Please. Don't."
"She's not a Non." Vincent's words shattered her hope of escape.

Wings of Change:If you could be a wild animal, which one would you be?
I am not a rabid animal lover. I'm not one of those people who madly loves all creatures of the furry kingdom, though I've always looked at that type of person with longing, wishing I could be that way too. It seems that animal lovers have a bigger soul, more open to love for all than the rest of us. My sister is this way, but I've come to accept that's not my path in life. I'll look from afar, from the other side of the glass, observe, and not touch.
It's from the other side of the glass, tucked safe in the backseat of the family car, that I had an unforgettable encounter with that other kingdom. I don't remember how old I was. Seven, maybe. We'd finally arrived home from a vacation and my dad steered the car into the driveway. It'd been a long drive from wherever the vacation was. I'm sure I remember it, but my mind doesn't connect the two experiences of the drive and the vacation.
It was evening time. The sky was still blue, but the sun was setting--not quite twilight, but after dinnertime. During the summer, the northern United States has a long stretch of evening time that has the softest light. The South, where I live now, doesn't have this. My Southern friends are usually surprised to learn of the lengthy sunlit evenings of the North. They think they rule the summer with their great quantities of heat. They definitely win in that category and I've come to love that heat. But the North has light--a gentler characteristic that doesn't get a bold mention when comparing weather forecasts.
As we pulled into the driveway, there was a stillness about the neighborhood, as if a heavy rainfall had washed everything clean, and life was finishing the day refreshed. But everything was dry; there'd been no rain. There had been a small earthquake though, one we hadn't felt riding in the car and we didn't learn about until later. Maybe it was the Earth's way of shaking off her dirt and dust and refreshing herself without the sky's assistance.
My dad noticed the owl first. He stopped the car at the start of the driveway, right beside it. It was a tiny thing, resting in our neighbor's little tree, very close to us. It sat there, looking. Blinking. As the blue sky deepened in the quiet stillness, it was magic. I've carried that magic with me ever since.
Thirty years later, I had another encounter with an owl, multiple ones actually, all close together. One particular evening as my kids and I were getting ready for bed, I heard a soft whistling and I recognized his call. I'd been listening to it for weeks around the house. I lifted the blinds at the kitchen window and there he was, in the nearest tree. He caught the movement and shifted his gaze to me. I greeted him aloud. "Hello, owl." My daughter was right there, so I can blame that craziness on being a mom, but the truth is that if I'd been alone, I would have done the same thing.
My daughter told me to keep talking to it, her tone communicating my rudeness that I hadn't continued the conversation. "Tell him about us," she said. So I did. And she matter-of-factly filled in the details of our life that I'd left out, waiting for me to repeat them to the owl. Some of those details weren't pleasant, not details I would have brought up at that moment, but kids live the good and the bad right along with you. As much as we wish it wasn't true, the bad is as much a part of their life as the good is.
It was a short conversation, rather one-sided, and we continued getting ready for bed. I dashed upstairs for something, dashing right back down, racing against the bedtime clock that was rapidly ticking. I froze on my descent. There, in the tall windows at our front door, was the owl, sitting on our deck, his face next to the glass, peering in. I sank down to sit on the stairs as he stared in at me. His big eyes carried a soul. It only lasted five seconds, maybe. Then he turned, so close his feathers smashed against the glass, and flew away.
Owls symbolize wisdom and also death…a scary prospect, but death, at it's most basic, is change.
If I could be a wild animal, that's what I'd be. An owl. Carrying grains of truth, heavy with the potential for change, and sowing those seeds among the ones who need them.

The California Department of Insurance has released updated data on insurance claims filed due to the California wildfires, with the statewide total from outbreaks in both the north and south now put at close to $12 billion.
Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones said that wildfires that burned across California in October and December 2017 damaged or destroyed more than 32,000 homes, 4,300 businesses, and over 8,200 vehicles, watercraft, farm vehicles, as well as other equipment.
"At nearly $12 billion in insured losses, these claim numbers are staggering and represent the costliest fires in California history," said the Commissioner. "The fires were unprecedented for their severity and disastrous consequences. Whole neighborhoods were wiped out, as wind-driven flames destroyed thousands of homes, upended tens of thousands of residents' lives and tragically killed more than 45 people across the state."
The total recorded by the regulator is over 45,000 insurance claims totaling more than $11.79 billion in losses.
The reinsurance market has taken a significant share of these losses and insurance-linked securities (ILS) funds, collateralized reinsurance and retrocession vehicles have also paid a portion of them to-date.
The final total will likely be higher, with industry estimates of insurance and reinsurance losses due to the California wildfires pegged at around $13.2 billion by broker Aon Benfield.
Additionally and potentially exacerbating the volume of losses, the Commissioner called recently for property and casualty insurers operating in California to cover property damage claims resulting from the recent mudslides and debris flows, if the events are determined to be linked to the recent wildfires.
A number of ILS funds and collateralized reinsurance vehicles took losses from the California wildfires in October and in December 2017 and there could be further reserve strengthening to come, we'd imagine.
Alongside our sister publication Reinsurance News, we've launched a new survey for the insurance, reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS) industry, asking for your opinion on the market implications of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. Answer our survey here.

In this post I discuss the food items you should consider for your survival preparedness.
Disaster Food Storage
If you've paid any attention to the news then you've seen how disasters can and have been striking without any warning. That's how it usually happens…. no warning whatsoever. And if you're not prepared, just living through the catastrophic event isn't going to be enough.. be it an earthquake, tsunami, terrorist attack, or even a tornado. You need to be prepared for what comes next….surviving the aftermath that may result in an infra structure break down in your home town.
Want some GREAT tips on how to survive in the wilderness? get our free handbook in the sign up form ->
The tips and tricks in this book cover everything you'll need to know to handle the outdoor environment including food, gear, etc., whether it's to survive a catastrophic disaster or just back packing for the weekend.
If a disaster strikes, you will need to come up with food, water and shelter in order to survive. While the United States government suggests keeping about three days' worth of food on hand in case of a disaster, I'm going to recommend you keep at least two weeks' worth of food. If a wide scale disaster hits, it could take weeks for you to receive any support. So to be frank about it, taking the time to prepare long term food storage for your survival kit, may be the difference in surviving a catastrophic event, or not making it.
Planning Ahead
Since a major disaster could knock the power out for a prolonged period, you should not rely on your refrigerator or freezer to store your food. Under these circumstances, non-perishable foods are the only way to go. Many people will dehydrate their own food, as this is a cost efficient way of getting it done. Additionally, dehydrated food is much lighter and so easier to carry and transport to another location, as opposed to cans of food if you have to leave your place of residence of any reason. Plan ahead and have this food ready to go, so that you are not left scrambling when a disaster hits.
Suggested Foods To Store
- Oats … Purchase a large volume of oats, as they are a healthy food source with a lengthy shelf life. There are whole oats, steel cut oats, rolled oats, and quick oats in the market place. All of these provide good nutrition but I recommend you store instant oats as they are precooked and will be much more convenient for the circumstances should you be without power etc.
- Wheat… About 50 percent of your entire food store should be made up of wheat. It is light and can be used in a variety of different food combinations. There are several types of wheat available but if gluten is an issue in your diet, Einkorn wheat is recommended .
- Legumes… This includes beans, peas, and lentils and should make up 20 percent of your long term food storage, as they are very easy to store. There are a long list of types available but all are versatile, nutritious foods, and a good source of protein.
- Rice…. From short to medium and long grained rice, this is a staple food for cultures all over the world and so it is not just a side dish. Be sure to include a variety of rice types for 20 % of your food storage plans.
Keep these foods in airtight containers, as this prevents them from spoiling. You can supplement these foods with canned products, although you must be sure that you keep an eye on the expiry dates. The previously mentioned food types will last for 10 years or more if they are stored properly, but canned foods only last for a couple of years.
These examples are by no means an in depth list of what you need to know for the ultimate long term survival list. You can find detailed information in our free " How to Survive a Disaster" Handbook Download in the signup form in the right column à
Making Choices You don't necessarily have to include a food type on my list above that your family doesn't like. Come up with alternatives that offer similar health benefits. Although taste is not the most important thing, it is easy to make simple substitutions. In addition, if you have very young children, do not pack as much wheat, since it is very tough on their digestive systems. If you store seeds for growing vegetables in the future, make sure that you store them properly to avoid spoiling. It is also important to avoid genetically modified seeds because they often times only last for one year. You have many choices to make for your long term food storage kit, so take the time to choose items that give your family the best chance of survival.
Stay Strong

Update: New Bilbo image from final 'Hobbit' movie – now available full size
A new image this morning from Warner Bros., this time first on TORn and featuring the character we sometimes remember the whole story is named after, Bilbo Baggins, The Hobbit!
Of note with this new image, old Bilbo is a changed man from promotional material of movies past. He is battle tested and trusty Sting is positively dripping with
oil fluid orc blood. He is gritty and grim and ready to stab the viewer, giving us a glimpse of what death-by-Hobbit looks like. It also flashes back a bit to Frodo from "The Lord of the Rings," when he is threatening Gollum with the same weapon.
If you aren't watching the calendar, we are now just over two months from the release of the final Middle-earth movie of the Peter Jackson era with Extended Editions, red carpet premieres and hoped-for trailers also on the horizon. It's a good time to be a Tolkienite!
UPDATE: You can get a full size version by clicking the super big one below!

Prometheus (2012) Review
It's a good Sci-Fi film with great acting and an interesting plot, but sadly it wasn't a great Sci-Fi film and definitely wasn't this generations Alien. But I would love to see a sequel which could easily fix the problems I found with this film.
Ridley Scott, director of Alien and Blade Runner, returns to the genre he helped define. With Prometheus, he creates a ground-breaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
The best advice I can give to anyone going to see this film would be not to have your expectations to the level that the hype has put it. Tim's Film Reviews Recommended, just don't expect it to be as good as Alien.
This is the best poster I have seen for a while.
Just as always I will not be giving away any spoilers so you don't have to worry about reading this review before seeing the film, although you may wish to wait until you have seen the film. To start off let's talk about the acting. The acting was very professional and you could feel the emotion but the main flaw I found with the characters and the film in general were that you couldn't connect with the people. The main character Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) was the exception to this with a fantastically realistic but strong character who survives at all costs, credit goes to her with a great performance as Ellen Ripley replacement. Sadly the characters you start to like (Captain Janek) get very little screen time and the one you don't really care about (Charlie) get time that was more boring than interesting. Then there's my main fault with this film, the crew don't really mix very well and you get this feeling like their all in their own little worlds rather than experiencing something as a group so in that respect it loses some of its authenticity.
Think I have moaned enough about the characters now, so let's talk about something more fun like the visuals. The special effects, physical props and visual landscape shots where both excellent viewing and brilliantly immersive to the universe that Ridley Scott's created. There's nothing quite like being four rows from the screen of an IMAX 3D showing of Prometheus and I would definitely recommend that experience. At one point the spaceship felt like it was landing two feet from your seat and that was a little shocking. The best thing I felt about this films look was the way that the ships interiors and the alien building was all real and built in the Pinewood Studios which gave everything a realistic touch which helps to bring you closer to believing your in that world.
Must Watch Trailer:
The best review I found would be "While it lacks Alien's ferocious simplicity and focus, Scott's determination to see his often loopy ideas through gives his film a single-minded vigour rarely found in pictures of this scale." Robbie Collin. This is a good summary of the film really because the plot is very much its own. If nothing else this film is not like any other and for that Ridley Scott has made a great addition to his Sci-Fi resume. My favourite scene without giving anything away would be the end scene of the film and if you have seen alien you will know why, but the other would probably be anything involving the Android David (Michael Fassbender) because he was such a great character and played brilliantly by Michael Fassbender who was being great as always, so if there is a sequel which after watching the film I think there most likely will be then I'd hope that they bring David back but give him more face time and a better physical presence.
Finally I would like to address the question of whether Prometheus is a prequel to the Alien film. In my opinion it certainly was a prequel and the film does nothing but leave clues to the original films plot and origins. The end gives you the strongest connection to the original; they couldn't have made that last scene more revealing to the alien origins if you saw the crew of the Nostromo land five minutes after the credits end. Simply put though this film needed to be more like alien and have a more structured and sensible plot that wouldn't confuse viewers, I did feel that the film alienated (pure coincidence that I used that word) people who wouldn't get some of the more subtle and complicated plot strands. So go watch it because the film is a great viewing pleasure and I would love to hear everyone's views about the film in the comments section so we can have a little discussion.
I will be releasing more reviews and more recent films I have seen in Cinema.

colincarman says :
An awesome poster indeed and I doubt we'll see a smarter sci-fi film this summer
Tim The Film Guy says :
Don't get many smart sci fi films anymore
wordschat says :
I haven't seen the Alien movies so this prequel was an introduction for me. There were more questions than answers but I guess that was the idea. Michael Fassbender who seems to be in everything I see in theatres and DVD lately was very good. I could watch another movie just based on his character. Again enjoyed reading the review.
Tim The Film Guy says :
Wonderful glad you liked the review, but mainly watch Alien!
Franz Patrick says :
I'm in the 1% but I loved the movie. I actually liked it better than "Aliens." ("Alien" remains untouchable… for now. Or maybe ever.) Just to make sure my feeling is correct, I went ahead and re-watched "Alien" and "Aliens" the same day I saw this movie. And I am right. =P
That "resurrection" scene creeped me the fuck out. Good stuff.
Tim The Film Guy says :
I actually changed the rate from 89% to 91% after the second time I watched it because you get it a little more, so it crossed good to very good 🙂
Alien reigns supreme!
Really need a better system than using good and very good, i"ll come up with something more creative 😀
Derek says :
I was disappointed but still didn't hate it or think it was a bad movie. It just had far more flaws than I expected going in based on the hype and the pedigree of everyone involved especially Ridley Scott.
I did find that I almost immediately had issues with he pacing though. Things just felt off throughout the 2 hours and change
Tim The Film Guy says :
Yeah I would probably agree 🙂
Thanks for commenting.
fogsmoviereviews says :
ABSOLUTELY a prequel. LOL.
There's no doubt anymore, is there? 😀
We agree on this one Tim, definitely. David was my favorite character, too… unfortunately I dont think we were given a lot of other options, you know?
Tim The Film Guy says :
Yeah definitely a prequel! wish we had more of David from the viral campaigns and stuff. I do think Noomi Rapace did a good job as a female lead though, not quite a Sigourney Weaver 😀
Tim The Film Guy says :
How articulate of you haha, your right though because something was missing 😦 damn good though 🙂
Tim The Film Guy says :
Yeah the trailer was better, loved that thrilling theme from the trailer! 😀
conordcfc says :
Brilliant review! Felt you really told a lot about the film, whilst carefully ensuring not to give away any spoilers! Check out my review if you find the time, thanks! http://conordcfc.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/film-review-prometheus-2012/
Tim The Film Guy says :
I am glad you liked it, I will check out your review soon 🙂
Ripley Connor says :
The film doesn't open until Thursday at midnight where I live. Were the aliens depicted well or did Ridley rely on stereotypes of us as evil villains? I am excited to see my dad's college buddy, Ben, play David. Everyone thinks that's Fassbender but actually Ben, a terminator, plays the android.
Tim The Film Guy says :
No the aliens where actually done well, hope you enjoy the film and your dads friend does a great job as David 🙂
Ripley Connor says :
Wonderful! Many reviewers are praising Dad's friend's performance. I just hope I get to meet Ben soon and maybe he can introduce me to Ridley Scott!
Cheesebadger says :
The internet seems to be collectively disappointed by the movie, Then again the internet is obsessed with fucking cartoon ponies and still thinks Lost ended with everyone being dead the whole time, so the internet is not to be trusted.
Tim The Film Guy says :
I think the internet is a little divided as to what was wrong with the film, to me it was the character development but to others it was the script, plot or direction so depends where you read 🙂
haha not sure were on the internet you are looking to find cartoon ponies but it doesn't sound fun 😀

Weekend Wrap-Up
I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!
I'm pacing a fall marathon training group for Fleet Feet. If you're in the area, you should sign up to train with us!! We had a really fun group for this week's 12 miler!!
This was also Day 1 of my NYC Marathon training!
It was a super hot and humid run. I looked like I had jumped in a pool, so this cold kiwi didn't stand a chance when I got home!
Nothing says America, like tex-mex for lunch!
Jason and I went to downtown Franklin for their 4th of July festival.
And, we picked up a coffee and the greatest homemade oatmeal cream pie from Honest Coffee!!!
Sadly, we had big storms all night. The local fireworks and grill-outs were cancelled. We decided to go to Sunflower Cafe and I'm so glad we did. Their vegan BBQ sliders were the bomb!
I had the gym to myself for a surprisingly good treadmill run. My legs are still heavy from the North Fork 50 last weekend, so I stopped at 8 miles. I'm not 100%, but grateful that my body has bounced back pretty quickly.
I met Jason at First Watch for a fruit and oats breakfast.
After rave reviews, I broke down and bought a Yeti mug. Apparently they're the greatest mug ever. I'm curious to give it a try!
Kindness is magic…so is coffee.
The sun finally peaked out. I got to enjoy our front porch while the patriotic swags were still up.
We had dinner on the Burger Up patio…salad with a quinoa patty and rose to drink. Perfect!
How was your 4th? Did anyone else have to cancel plans because of the rain?
Do you have any Yeti products? Thoughts?
Are you running a fall marathon? NYC?
Peak and Pit from the weekend? Peak: A nice, low-key weekend! Pit: The rainy weather.
