Friday Fall Musings | 10-7-16 | Regular backup for your PC is greatly ignored and extremely necessary even with cloud deployed. And if you are in a small or solo business, you don't have the IT police patrolling to keep you on your toes.
Backup. It doesn't seem to matter how many times we hear it. Though in my research the actual numbers run all over the map based on country, age of user, age of the computer and version of OS. On average less than 10-20% of users regularly run a complete back-up and restore of their ENTIRE computer data. This includes your OS, applications, browser and browser extensions, utilities, and drivers for added features, and of course your data from contracts to selfies. Exceptions seem to be A) MAC users, who run about 40-50% to the good, and B) corporate PCs where IT has determined the rules, and failure to comply with corporate guidelines can lead to lower performance scoring or worse, dismissal.
But even there, backup and restore is typically done by the IT department, and focus specifically on the applications and data relevant to the job. Thus be prepared to hear, if personal info is missing after a back-up and restore: "This is a work PC, it belongs to the company. Put your doctor's appointments, vacation photos, or anything unrelated to your job on your phone, home PC or tablet. Now get back to work, and fill out this satisfaction survey. "
Now what if I told you, regardless of your sophistication of PC technology, that with just a few REALLY basic tools (hardware and software), you could be in backup nirvana. You could sleep at night knowing that even in the event of a complete loss of data through dropping, kicking, drowning or any other incident that could cause lost data, you will be whole. In effect, it is one less thing to worry about in a world where every day we hear about hacks now that happened in some cases 3-4 years ago. Did you know there was a Dropbox hack in 2012? If I did, I frankly forgot – heck I'll be 62 in a week, there is only so much room in the virtual hard drive in my head.
Just so we are all on the same page here's a little TMI for fun: For purposes of this discussion I am going to make a couple of assumptions:
1) The term "PC" (I will use this term generically so please don't beat me up if you have a laptop vs. a desktop vs. a gamer machine.) Unless there is a reason to be specifically MAC which I think pops up once or twice. This is all PCs
2) I will assume you are running some version of Windows OS that is at least Win7. If you are merrily running your holiday greeting card list on a 10 year old PC with WIN95, all the best of luck. I'm sure there is something in the politico section that will interest you more than what I am about to espouse.
3) I have 3 machines in my home for which I provide on demand tech support or else forced to eating cold dinner- and it's usually chicken or pasta that I cooked.
– One Lenovo ThinkCentre Desktop running Windows 10 with 8GB.
– One Lenovo X220 running Win 7 pro, 8MB RAM and a 1TB hybrid drive
– One MacBook Pro that belongs to my son John, the videographer, and I do my best to keep my distance since MAC is a foreign language to someone who spent 35 years at IBM. In all fairness, I don't provide much support for the MAC except to nag my son to do the backups as scheduled which he complies with essentially to keep the nagging at bay and the occasional full tank of gas when I've driven his car.
One more thing: For the record, I am not affiliated with nor do I or anyone in my family, either currently housed in a penal institution or up for parole, receive compensation of any kind from any of the companies or products I reference here. These are simply MY choices. All purchases were made at Amazon.com and receipts are available at no charge if you really want them for the cost of $39.99 for copying shipping and handling. (that's a joke).
How I decided to back up and why you should do it this way too.
Why now? Take a guess. My hard drive completely died a natural death. I was considering sending it to the NSA just to hopefully get back my calendar and contacts. Here's where I began to ensure this never happened again.
Software – I opted to purchase Acronis True Image, first the 2016 version, and recently upgraded to the 2017 for I think $30. I looked at all of the usual suspects. Acronis has a try then buy offer and once I tried, I bought. There are FREE versions of similar backup and restore programs at download.com, Windows comes with its own back-up and restore, but after spending a significant amount of time researching my choices, I decided on Acronis. For a single machine on Amazon the price is $49.99, 3 machines costs $79.99 and if you have 5 the price is $99.99. Again there are always deals around, so your actual price may vary. I like Amazon because if something sucks, I get to send it back, basically with ZERO hassle. Link to Acronis Products on Amazon
Hardware – This is how I did it, and of course there are many other ways, but I do my own research and figure out what I want to do. The ingredients are few and not particularly expensive.
You are going to need (*maybe) four pieces of "hardware" including a small Philips head screwdriver ( do you really need a picture of a screwdriver?).
First, you will need a caddy (no, not the person who carries your clubs) but a plastic case to hold your backup HDD (more in a just a minute). We'll call this drive in the caddy to hold "Drive #1" when we get to it.
Second, you will need a new hard drive we'll call "Drive #1". It will hold the backed up information from your currently installed drive we'll call Drive #2. Most laptop HDDs are standard 2.5″ SATA, capacity is up to you and your budget.
Send in The Clones
*Here's the maybe. I might, depending on space remaining and a chkdsk, to replace an existing Drive #2 via cloning. But for now, just keep these next two items in mind. I will come back to them in the next post, after we've got backup working
Third is a new Drive (#3) to replace the current drive that might be old, slow, full of bad sectors. Clearly, this is outside of the backup process, but worth mentioning now. CLONING will be covered in the next post.
Fourth, you will need a decent size 8GB is perfect thumb/flash drive. This is used to install the Acronis boot software. While technically not a backup, we'll call this "Drive #4". After we remove the EXISTING INSTALLED hard drive, the Operating System went with it.
For example, my 3-year old Lenovo X220 came with a 250GB SATA drive. Over time, BAD SECTORS developed. I researched Solid State, Hybrid and SATA. I concluded that my laptop drive would be a Hybrid SSHD. It was a good compromise and I am pleased with the results. There was an unexpected problem going to SSHD which I will explain in the next post when we cover cloning.
Other Choices: re: Caddy – You can save a few dollars and absolutely buy a cable assembly from USB to Plug in to the drive: Here's one on Amazon for $10.95 with a link: StarTech USB3 to Laptop Adapter
Here is the one I bought (I'm an Amazon PRIME member for the record) for $13 received the next day: 2.5″ SATA HD USB 3.0Enclosure. I prefer the caddy because there is less chance of dust, spills, and other debris getting inside.
Checkpoint #1 (The Absolutely Easy, and less expensive way) Here's where we are now. You have :
1) Acronis True Image software loaded on your computer
2) A caddy to hold your newly purchased backup drive
At this point, it's simple. You merely launch Acronis True Image, then select the first icon which looks like a series of pages. Look at the screen shot above with the SOURCE (my D:\ drive). It is the newly formatted drive sitting in the caddy and connected by the USB cable. Acronis does incremental back up, i.e., it only backs up changes since the last back up. You'll notice I have a drive "E" which is not a backup but a CLONE of my original drive. Essentially, it is an complete image that I can restore. Just in case my laptop accidentally walked past a giant degaussing magnet. Again, we'll cover cloning in the next update.
Under the drives and partitions, and custom destination folders, you will see a progress indicator and an estimated time remaining. Remember after the first go round, it's going to go considerably faster.
TIP: In the system tray (bottom right in Windows) there an icon to Safely Remove Hardware and Remove Media. I recommend that extra step instead of just yanking the USB cord.
Let's recap. Drive "#1" is in the machine. Drive "#2" is the backup (in the caddy). The next post will include Drive "#3" as the optional NEW "A" drive replacement. We'll use Drive "#4" (thumb drive) to hold the optional Acronis start up files. If you get lost, start from the beginning. Or send me an email to email@example.com and I shall do my best to assist.
After you've backed up your existing drive, you can have it automatically run back-ups as often as you like. Simply ensure the machine is on, and the backup drive is in the caddy. Verify the USB cable is connected to the USB port on the caddy and the computer. Then Acronis can run as scheduled.
That's it.
Part 2 will contain the option I highly recommend of replacing the main hard drive with the Seagate Hybrid drive. You will need the Acronis Rescue Media Builder bootable rescue media tool. Locate the Acronis Tools section with the 4 boxes in the left column. Very easy, I promise.
I shall load those OPTIONAL instructions up in a day or two. You can start with this part of the process in order to get comfortable with the tools.
I hope that this SIMPLE, PRACTICALLY AUTOMATIC process of backing up your data convinces you it's worth the effort. Next, I'm going to help you decide to look at a new HBDD (Hybrid Disk Drive) but first things first. There are also some good videos that Acronis has produced on YouTube.
As always, feedback on my post is always welcome. If you found my musing of any value, please like, share and re-tweet. And of course Thank You for reading what I think. If you haven't already, please press the Follow button above.

The number of mobile devices and wireless applications has grown over the years and continues to show potential for further innovation and expansion. However, with the increase in applications comes the risk of interferences between devices. The European Commission has proposed to update the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive (1999/5/EC). The proposal aims to make sure all market players comply with avoidance of interference rules. In addition, The Commission has proposed to clarify and simplify the Directive.

My cranberry apple crisp is the perfect warm and cozy dessert for the holidays – sweet, tart and delicious!
And making it in these single serving ramekins is super convenient since you bake and serve in the same dish. ✅😎🙌🏻
I must insist on serving the a la mode – with vanilla ice cream. It just makes it so much better.
There is just something about the combination of the sweet-and-tart fruit, the crunchy sugar-and-oat topping and the creamy, melty ice cream. 😋 It is dessert perfection y'all!
I did not peel my apples either. This was partially due to laziness. But! I was using Granny Smiths with the pretty green skin, and as soon as I saw the red-and-green color combo, it totally made me think of the holidays.❤💚🎄 But feel free to peel yours if you wish.😉
Last of all, if you prefer to make one big full-sized serving dish of this cranberry apple crisp…you can double the recipe and use a standard-sized pie plate (or the baking dish of your choosing)! Much like this version.

Hi Guys!
Today I thought I'd show you a closer look at the awesomely quirky silver ring pull necklace I wore in this outfit post last week. I just love unusual jewellery, it catches the eye and creates a great talking point! This necklace is from a company called Biggley, who comprise of a small team of jewellery makers and designers. They design and craft all their own pieces by hand, often in sterling silver, with hints of gold and semi-precious gem stones.
The ring pull is hand crafted in sterling silver and suspended on a pink necklace that ties at the back. It's solid and substantial to touch, it's also moveable so you can even twist it round like you would a real ring pull 🙂 I love the idea that the ring pull isn't fixed to the necklace, so I could remove it and wear it on a silver chain if I wanted to change my look.
Biggley sell many other lovely pieces which would make great Christmas gifts, one of my favourites being this Twisted Americana ring!
Do you have any jewellery on your Christmas list? I hope you enjoyed my post 🙂 xxx

I think if I were to admit my deepest, darkest secret, it would have to be my dream of producing music videos. I have a really fantastic, eloquent sequence for the Cake tune, "Short Skirt, Long Jacket", but it involves Val Kilmer circa 2001 and a woman stripping on a city street, so somehow I don't think I'll be able to get it made anytime soon…
Tag: Val Kilmer
Here we go folks… sigh…*
'Tis the Season to be Meme-ing…
5 things in my fridge.
1. An odd smell…
2. Cheese.
3. Three containers of mostly full margarine.
4. "A macaroni & cheese casserole that turned into a science experiment several weeks ago."
Is that what that was…? I feel sick…
5. Lightbulb. (aside from the burnt out one that I can't get unscrewed, that is.) It's the replacement, left there in disgust when the old one wouldn't come out. And because we all know that light bulbs stored in the fridge last longer. Or is that pantyhose…?
5 Items in my closet
2. Don't.
3. Have.
5. Closet.
How much does that suck?!
5 items in my car (If I had a car to put five items in… bearing in mind that if I ever have a car, it will have to be big enough for a minibar…)
1. Built-in computer networked to my building with state-of-the-art ultraspeed satellite internet. (Duh.)
2. My chauffeur. Somebody's gotta drive.
3. My bartender. Somebody's gotta mix the drinks.
4. My kid. Because she's cool and I like hangin' out with her.
5. Either Ellen DeGeneres (who would be telling me how glad she was she gave me that camera after all), or Val Kilmer (who would be signing my contract – Come on, Val… you know you want to…). Screw it, it's my car; they can both come as long as they don't bicker.
5 items in my purse (I don't carry a purse – so I'll use the pockets of my cargoes)
1. Keys. In case they lock me out.
2. My hanky.
3. My cigarettes. I'm sorry, okay?
4. My digital camera.
5. My cell phone. 'Cause we all know I'm gonna get lost.
And as amended: (or perhaps, more justifiably, in retribution:)
5 ways to leave your lover
1. In court.
2. In tears.
3. In pain.
4. In jail.
5. In traction.
I'm tagging these favourites (apologies all around):
1. Suzi, of I'll Tell You What It Shwaz, which sucks for her because she's right in the middle of a big pile of "busy" right now… Sorry, Suzi. Well, sort of sorry…
2. Bonanza Jellybean, back "fresh" from the horse show.
3. Deni, The Last Girl on Earth, just 'cuz I'm dying to know what a professional musician from New York City has in her fridge…
4. Julie, of Julie Goes to Hollywood fame, just 'cuz I'm dying to know what a professional screenwriter in Hollywood has in her fridge… Does she have a fridge, and does she even need one, she of the Hollywood Power Lunch/Dinner/Drinks Meeting? (Damn, but I'm jealous…)
5. Val Kilmer, of The Salton Sea, because if he's gonna ride in my car, dammit, he's darn well gonna pay for it somehow!

Marcella Kay (Dillon) Bartlett was born in Ainsworth, Nebr. on June 17, 1943, the fifth child of ten, five minutes after her twin sister, to Jonas Sr. and Ortha (Rix) Dillon. She passed away January 31, 2013 at the age of 69 years at the Rock County Hospital in Bassett.
Marcella grew up on a farm in Keya Paha County, where she attended school graduating with the class of 1962 in Springview. She was always noted for her artistic abilities. After graduation she attended a Business College in Omaha, where she boarded with a family taking care of the children to pay her way through college. Upon returning to this area she married the love of her life, Vonald Ray Bartlett (also a twin), on April 29, 1963. To this union one child Lori Lee was born on October 18, 1964.
Marcella worked at a variety of jobs throughout her lifetime as a secretary, telephone operator, EMT, and a nurse aide. One of her most cherished accomplishments was receiving the "Kind Caring Award." She will always be remembered for her work ethics, and her caring and compassionate nature of always helping others. Marcella loved working in her garden where she always felt close to nature and God. She loved growing beautiful flowers and vegetables in her garden and sharing her produce, flower seeds, and bulbs with others. She spent many hours canning and sharing what she grew with her family and friends. She always had a kind word for everyone and would be quick with a hug.
Marcella was preceded in death by her parents, sister Frankie, and brother Larry. Those left to mourn her passing are husband, Vonald of Bassett; daughter, Lori Lissolo and husband Todd, of Hugoton, Kansas; granddaughters Lacey Kurts and husband Trent, Lindsey Lissolo, along with one Grandson, Colten Lissolo and one Great-Granddaughter, Madison Kurts all of Hugoton, Kan.; brothers, Jack Dillon of Springview, Neb., Jerry Dillon and wife Nona of Janesville, Wis., Jonas Dillon and wife
Carolyn of Bassett; sisters, (twin) Luella Zahradnicek and husband Eddie of Long Pine, Neb., Barbara Hempel of Bassett, Judy Hulshizer and husband Orven of Milton, Fla., Milinda Turpin and husband Ken of Newport, Neb.; brother and sister-in-laws, Denny and Marie Bartlett of Lakewood Colo., Vada and Dave Haumann of Thedford, Loice and Mary Bartlett of Chadron, Dean and Emily Bartlett of David City, Neb., Vivian Sharp of Muscatine Iowa, Vernal Densberger of Shamrock, Tx., and Norma Bartlett of Valentine, Helen Bartlett of Bassett, Neb., and Harry Sawle of Ainsworth. She also leaves a host of nieces and nephews and many friends.
Memorial services were held on February 9, 2013 at the Emmanuel Community Church in Bassett, Neb., with Pastor Dennis Quigley officiating over the service. Music was provided by Ellen Carpenter, along with congregational selections of "In The Garden" and "Amazing Grace." Inurnment will be held at a later date. Arrangements were handled through Hoch Funeral Home of Bassett, Nebraska.

Dreamfall Chapters Will Feature Improved Combat, Story-Driven Adventure For Core Fans
- Related Games:
- Dreamfall Chapters
Just last month, Ragnar Tørnquist announced that he and his team at Red Thread Games were starting work on a brand-new entry in his popular adventure series, The Longest Journey.
In an interview with Polygon, Tørnquist explained how Dreamfall Chapters will provide an experience that caters to the hardcore adventure fan while fixing a number of issues that plagued the earlier games, namely combat. "A lot of the combat [in Dreamfall] was awful…In general, I wasn't happy with the controls in Dreamfall. It felt clunky, particularly on the PC. That's something we're fixing." The game will also feature three playable characters.
Instead of releasing the game in bite-sized episodes, Chapters will launch in more substantial chunks that Tørnquist is calling "books", but don't worry, if you're a fan of traditional adventure games, you'll feel right at home with Dreamfall Chapters. "We're making Chapters for fans of The Longest Journey and Dreamfall for fans of story-driven games and adventures, for PC gamers. That's really not the best pitch to a publisher — but it is the best pitch to our core audience," he explained.
Could we see a resurgence of traditional adventure games? I sure hope so!

Cycling commentators have the unenviable job of having to know facts and stats at a split second's notice, and inevitably they sometimes don't get every fact spot on.
What's more they have to keep talking even when there might not be much to say – during a some of the longer stages at this year's Tour de France for example – and that's when the meaning of what they're saying can get a bit skewed.

Under obligation not to allow viewers to watch the cycling action unfold in silence, those on the commentary desk might clutch at straws in their fear of leaving us uninformed. Sometimes they're even left clutching at the desk itself.
Such scrabbling around for something to say often lends itself to some phrases that would be far more at home on Alan Partridge's show on Radio Norwich.
Occasional mishaps aside, cycling television coverage simply wouldn't be what it is today without the informative and welcome input from our sport's favourite television personalities; even if no one can pronounce Louis Meintjes's surname.
So in honour of the army of pundits, commentators and experts who both inform and entertain, we have put together a cycling quiz to see if you can tell your Partridge quotations from your genuine cycling commentary quotes.

This southern couple is as sweet as the Georgia pecan pie. Their wedding was an all-star cast of vendors and full of joy, laughter and darn good food! They were ALL about providing Southern Hospitality to their destination wedding guests, and we think they did it in grand style!
The Riverhouse was the perfect venue for them- they were able to host the ceremony and reception in one location. After their waterfront vows, guests moved inside to enjoy a classically beautiful reception with all the fixings (or fixins as we would say in the South)!
Anytime a couple has a band, we know it's going to be ALL about dancing. And their guests certainly kept the dance floor packed. It was a wonderful event and we were honored to help the new Mr & Mrs.

Forecast Looks Bright As Sterling's Strength Slashes Costs In Holiday Hotspots Overseas
Press release • Jan 10, 2014 00:00 GMT
- Prices fall by up to 32 per cent in 70 per cent of resorts and cities surveyed worldwide
- Bali topples Sri Lanka and Spain to rate cheapest of 44 destinations surveyed
- Five-year lira low makes Turkey a hot tip: tourists will pay 19 per cent less in resorts
- Vietnam is named top holiday hotspot for third year running as dong sales rise over 200 per cent in two years; South Africa is also a Post Office hotspot tip
Post Office® Travel Money Holiday Money Report reveals 2014's best value hotspots (www.postoffice.co.uk/worldwidecosts)
Sterling's slow climb back to strength against most holiday currencies means the forecast is looking much brighter for UK tourists planning trips abroad in 2014 - according to the eighth Post Office Travel Money Holiday Money Report.
Prices are down in 70 per cent of the 44 destinations surveyed by the Post Office for the annual report's Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer1 with the biggest falls of 30-32 per cent in Jamaica, Japan and the Gambia. Bali emerges as best value overall while Portugal's Algarve is cheapest in Europe.
Resort prices in Portugal and Spain provide the report's most unexpected story. Even though sterling is still weaker year-on-year against the euro (-1.9 per cent), prices have plummeted 18 per cent in the Algarve. As a result, Portugal emerges as Europe's cheapest destination for the first time since 2010 and its barometer total of just over £35 suggests Portugal's most popular resort area means strong business in the year ahead.
Conversely, Spain is the only eurozone country surveyed to register a significant price rise. A 22 per cent increase in meal costs on the Costa del Sol accounts for the overall rise in the price of eight typical tourist items to around £39, which means that Spain falls from joint first place in last year's Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer to sixth position.
However, Spain is in the minority because Post Office Travel Money says that cheaper tourist meals account for the lower prices it found in most destinations. Boosted by a sterling surge that will give UK visitors extra money to spend in over three-quarters of the most popular holiday destinations2, the report found that eating out costs less now than a year ago in 30 of the resorts or cities surveyed.
These include Bali, which has toppled both Sri Lanka and Spain from the top spot they shared a year ago. At around £31 for the barometer items2, including an evening meal with drinks, Bali's prices are over a third cheaper than in Sri Lanka, which has fallen to 15th place after registering the barometer's highest price rise of 38 per cent. A slump in the value of the Indonesian rupiah makes tourist costs 19 per cent cheaper in Bali now than a year ago.
In the eurozone Portugal is not the only destination surveyed where prices for UK tourists will be lower. Resorts in Cyprus (Paphos), Greece (Corfu) and Italy (Sorrento) are also cheaper, although Italy remains most expensive in the eurozone – and in Europe overall - with a barometer basket costing around £81, over twice as much as either Spain or Portugal.
Portugal and Spain can also expect to come under pressure from non-eurozone sunspots. Fashionable Croatia is one of 10 Post Office Holiday Hotspots3 for 2014 after a doubling of kuna sales in the past two years, and Bulgaria's Sunny Beach has risen to fifth cheapest in the barometer. With prices down 10 per cent to £38.46, this is tipped as a good bet for wallet-watchers. Best of all, a five-year low in the value of the lira means Turkey's leading resort, Marmaris, shares with the Algarve the distinction of Europe's biggest price fall.
At around £41 for the essentials, UK tourists will pay 19 per cent less in Marmaris than a year ago. The resulting move up to seventh place in the barometer table brings Turkey close to long term rival Spain. This should help to create more demand for Turkey after last summer's fall in family bookings following political unrest in the country.
Paul Havenhand, Head of Travel at the Post Office, said: "The fall in the value of the lira should make Marmaris and other Turkish resorts very attractive to bargain hunters. Not only have prices fallen this year but they are now 29 per cent cheaper than two years ago."
Further afield, Vietnam is named as one of 10 Post Office Holiday Hotspots for the third year. Direct flights from the UK, cheap resort prices and a new crop of boutique beach hotels helped to stimulate a 94 per cent year-on-year surge in Vietnamese dong sales in 2013 – the biggest growth for any currency – with a cumulative increase of over 200 per cent in just two years. The Post Office expects Vietnam to build on this in 2014 as the new Etihad service to Saigon broadens the range of travel options for UK tourists.
South Africa is also named among the 10 Holiday Hotspots in the Holiday Money Report. As the country prepares to celebrate 20 years of democracy, Nelson Mandela's recent death will renew interest in the country for UK travellers, while the rand's continuing weakness against sterling will provide an added incentive. UK tourists are currently getting almost 28 per cent more rand for their pounds than a year ago and prices down 17 per cent year-on-year make Cape Town (£41.81) a top 10 value destination in the Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer.
Paul Havenhand added: "Holidaymakers will be spoilt for choice this year with better value-for -money in most destinations worldwide. To cash in on this, UK tourists should do their homework before booking to find out where the pound is worth most and where resort costs are low. They can check out resort prices at www.postoffice.co.uk/worldwidecosts and then change sufficient travel cash to cover the cost of those tourist items, especially meals."
In its forecast of likely trends for 2014, Post Office Travel Money tips Burma, Qatar and the Philippines as emerging destinations to watch. Burma is opening up to tourism with a rash of escorted tours designed to lead the way for more adventurous tourists and the re-introduction of direct flights from Heathrow to Manila should also help to stimulate demand for the Philippines. A year-on-year growth of 44 per cent in sales of the Philippino piso suggests that this move is already underway. In the luxury market, Qatar is tipped for success for the third year running after sales of the riyal grew a further 31 per cent in 2013.
More than 70 currencies can be pre-ordered at over 11,500 Post Office branches or online at postoffice.co.uk for next day branch or home delivery. 25 currencies are available on demand at 1,600 larger Post Office branches, while over 4,000 branches offer US dollars and Turkish lira and 10,000 offer euros over the counter.

1 Post Office Worldwide Holiday Costs Barometer research (December 2013): see Holiday Money Report pages 16-17 for the full table of costs for 44 destinations (while prices are quoted by country or island, the data relates to specific resorts, nominated by tourist boards as being most popular with UK tourists or representative of average tourist prices). The barometer table was compiled with the help of national and local tourist boards and specialist tour operators – Balkan Holidays (Bulgaria), Serenity Holidays (Gambia) Travelbag (various long haul destinations). Eight items – a three course meal for two with wine, cup of coffee, bottle of local beer, can of Coca-Cola, glass of wine, bottle of still water, suncream and packet of cigarettes – were selected as representative of the types of purchases UK tourists are most likely to make on a foreign holiday.
2 Sterling has strengthened against 33 of 42 Post Office holiday currencies. It is currently weaker against only nine holiday currencies – seven of these are European ones but the year-on-year drop in value is minor (0.1-2.0 per cent) for all barring the Icelandic krona (-10.8 per cent). See Holiday Money Report page 15.
3 Post Office Travel Money has identified 10 hotspots for 2014, based on a combination of factors including currency performance, new flight initiatives, low resort costs and the strength/stability of sterling. They are: Bali, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Japan, New Zealand, Oman, Portugal, South Africa, United Arab Emirates (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) and Vietnam. See Holiday Money Report pages 18-19 for analysis.

Bundesliga week 14: Bayern Munich 5-0 Wolfsburg
RB Leipzig lost its first game in the top German division 1-0 to Ingolstadt after 14 games. The loss sends the newly promoted to second place after Bayern Munich demolished Wolfsburg 5-0.
Coach Ancelotti comment son the win and the return to the top of the table:
"Our performance was good. We were in control after the first goal. We sometimes had a little luck scoring the goals. The players feel at ease in this system, we can play both systems. I'm delighted for Thomas Müller. He always does a good job out on the pitch. The goal will help him, but I don't judge his performances based solely on goals. He works hard for the team."
Thomas Müller: "We're top of the table again. That'll make it a good Christmas party! We've played quite decent football in the last few matches. We want to build on it in the last two matches and celebrate Christmas as league leaders."
Valérien Ismael (VfL Wolfsburg coach): "Congratulations to Bayern, it was a deserved victory. You need to be confident and buoyed by success when travelling to Munich. The course of the game says everything we need to know. But we were still looking for chances in the second half, creating some openings. Bayern clearly asserted their dominance. They're not our benchmark."

There's a certain long-standing burger chain that encourages customers to have it their way. When it comes to life insurance, clients have a lot more options than typically found on most fast food menus, but still they want it their way — and nowadays, many are seeking policies that offer security and flexibility as well as the opportunity to accumulate cash value.
Security is of the utmost importance because the economic events of the past couple of years have demonstrated the value of the safety net that guarantees provide. Clients buy life insurance to protect their estates, meet long-term needs and share their legacies with their heirs. Their coverage can't be up in the air; it has to be available. They are not inclined to take undue risks with it. And with the continued uncertainty over the economy, that could be the case more than ever.
Flexibility is a must because clients' lives are fluid; their needs can change. They might need to adjust premiums, take a distribution to provide for unexpected medical expenses, help pay for their children's college education, etc. They often want their life insurance policy to have the flexibility to meet these needs. And with the significant declines in so many Americans' nest eggs recently, the savings that may have been available in the past to cover such needs are not always there anymore.
One solution that can offer clients security, flexibility and the opportunity for cash accumulation is indexed guaranteed universal life. The most flexible structure for this type of product provides policy owners with long-term guarantees as well as the ability to allocate premium to index accounts, resulting in the potential to accumulate significant cash value.
See also: Life insurance: An overlooked asset class
The policy features that provide the potential for cash value accumulation inherently imbue strong death benefit protection, along with options to customize coverage guarantees to fit individual needs. In short, they make indexed GUL one of the most flexible products on the market.
Of course, non-indexed fixed GUL products have been available for years and are designed to feature lower premiums. Therefore, they offer policy holders little or no cash value growth potential and only limited flexibility within the contract. Indexed GUL products, then, can be a much better choice to present to many clients.
Indeed, indexed GUL is attractive because clients often desire higher returns but are concerned about the volatility of today's equity markets. Indexed GUL products feature the opportunity to take advantage of some of the equity markets' upside potential while offering a minimum guarantee to help decrease negative exposure to volatility.
Indexed GUL products can be especially appropriate for clients who wish to acquire permanent, guaranteed protection at an affordable price, with the opportunity to grow tax advantaged, supplemental income for their retirement.
Features to look for
One of the newer types of indexed GUL products enables clients to select from three premium allocation choices to most appropriately match their needs — a declared interest account, a one-year index account and a five-year index account. In addition to providing guaranteed death benefit protection, these interest-crediting accounts feature the opportunity to accumulate cash based partly on the performance of one or more global indices, with the flexibility to revise the allocation instruction anytime.
Among the features of today's more attractive indexed GUL products are:
- Guaranteed death benefit coverage up to age 121, with issue ages from 0 to 90 (in most states);
- A flexible continuation guarantee that allows policy owners to choose their guarantee period and premium funding period;
- One-year index interest crediting based partly on the one-year, point-to-point growth of a domestic index with cap rate and guaranteed interest rate of 1 percent (index does not reflect dividends);
- Five-year index interest crediting based in part on three global indices with automatic overweighting of the two best-performing indices;
- Minimum death benefit protection of $100,000, with a choice of two death benefit options (level or increasing);
- A unique combination of death benefit guarantees with the potential to accumulate significant cash value;
- Multiple loan options that offer policy owners choices of how to access their cash accumulation;
- Monthly index accounts that permit flexible scheduling of premium payments; and
- 24-month rolling targets (which may not be available in all states).
Flexibility regarding premium payments is an especially client-friendly feature. Many families are coping with financial challenges. Therefore, for certain products, any premium payments received within 28 days after the date of issue, and each subsequent premium due date, are treated as received on time for purposes of maintaining the death benefit guarantee.
Another customer-friendly feature involves the way that 1035 exchange premiums are applied to specific policies. For purposes of maintaining the death benefit guarantee, 1035 exchange premiums received up to one year after the policy issue date of certain Indexed GUL products can be treated as though they had actually been received on the issue date.
Moreover, depending on the specific indexed GUL product, policy withdrawals can be allowed (subject to restrictions and conditions) any time beyond the first policy year, and clients can select from two loan options to access cash values. With a typical loan, the client's loan collateral is moved to the fixed account. This maneuver provides a stable, although usually low interest, credit to his or her loan collateral.
With certain attractive types of loans, however, loan collateral remains in the index account and continues to have interest credited based on movements in the equity markets. This offers more upside potential — albeit with higher risk. Optional riders can protect policies from lapsing with large outstanding loan balances, and several other riders are offered to assist with meeting individual needs.
With their unique combination of security, flexibility and the opportunity to build significant cash accumulation, indexed GUL products can provide clients peace of mind along with solid potential for growth. Considering the unstable economic climate we've continued to experience and the features that clients indicate they want as a result, 2013 appears to be an optimal time to consider including indexed GUL products in your portfolio.
