Households risk billions in the underinsurance trap
16th January 2011
- Over £200 billion of home contents at risk
- 6.8 million households are underinsured
- 5.2 million homes have no contents insurance
Householders are risking their possessions by undervaluing their home contents, according to new report from Direct Line. The research into ‘The Hidden Value of British Homes’ has revealed a vast number are completely uninsured1.
The insurance gap laid bare…
The report reveals £212.9 billion worth of possessions in UK homes are at risk2. On average, a quarter (26 per cent) of people with contents cover are underinsured, by a staggering £20,000 – with £138.5 billion at risk in total3.
In addition one in five (20 per cent) have no insurance for home contents, leaving an average £14,000, or £74 billion, of possessions completely at risk4.
Andrew Morrell, head of home insurance at Direct Line, said: “There is no doubt that recession-hit Brits have a lot on their minds at the moment – but the importance of home contents insurance shouldn’t be underestimated. No-one wants to think about the prospect of losing all their possessions. Unfortunately it is far too easy to turn a blind eye to the true value of your home’s contents and grossly underestimate the level at which your insurance should be set – thereby putting your belongings at risk.”
On average, Brits own:
- £4,000 furniture
- £3,000 electricals and £2,000 white goods
- Almost £2,000 clothes
- £1,800 jewellery
- £1,700 carpets and rugs, and almost £1,000 of curtains and blinds
- £1,200 garden and garage items
‘The Hidden Value of British Homes’ report also found that among those with contents insurance, 39 per cent had not adjusted the value to account for inherited heirlooms such as jewellery, furniture and antiques. Others did not realise that the amount of contents cover on their home insurance would need to be adjusted or simply admitted they had not got around to it (four per cent each).
Kris Coombes, valuer, Direct Line, said: “It is worrying to see the level of underinsurance in British homes. People are putting treasured possessions at risk. Day to day items, furniture and clothes can really add up, let alone an expensive watch. In addition, items households may have invested in, or inherited heirlooms can push the contents limit over the amount covered for on their policy. Householders should think about the replacement value of their home’s contents, room by room and item by item, the total will really mount up – and it might be a shock to realise how underinsured homes are.”
Direct Line’s top tips for ensuring all home contents are covered:
- Do not be tempted to underinsure. Even if the policyholder thinks they do not own items that thieves would want to steal. Insurance covers a number of other perils including flooding and fire which is why it important to include all items
- Check how an insurer defines contents and buildings. Items such as carpets and contents in the garden may also be included under the policy contents. Do not forget items that are not used every day but are still valuable, i.e. family jewellery
- Use a contents calculator to establish the value of your contents in each room including applicable furniture.
- Check the single article limit offered by the insurer, as some items may be higher than this and need specifying separately. This may not be jewellery, so think about other items (e.g. paintings).
- Even with a blanket policy, like the £50,000 offered by Direct Line, do not assume this will be enough. It is still worth checking
- Each year the value of your contents will change, so make sure cover remains adequate. Remember that contents sum insured should reflect the replacement cost of items at today's prices - not the amount paid for them.
- Do not forget to include items such as kitchen utensils, bathroom towels, bed linen and even those items stored in the loft - the cost of replacing these items can all add up
Notes to Editors:
1 Research undertaken by Opinium Research based on an online poll of 2,002 British adults between 2nd and 6th December 2010. Results have been weighted to nationally representative criteria. www.opinium.co.uk
There are currently 26.20 million households (ONS).
Of 2,002 adults surveyed, 76% say they have contents insurance and 20% say they have no cover.
Among those who have insurance and know what approximate level they have, the average estimated value of cover is £47,660.
2 Total value of contents at risk: £74.4 billion from those with no cover and £138.5 billion from those who are underinsured gives £212.9 billion
3 Based on respondents estimation of their level of cover, compared to the estimated value of items they own excluding inherited items and collectables 26% are under-covered. On average they are under insured by £20,378, with £138.5 billion at risk.
4 The average value of possessions for people without out insurance (20% of respondents) is £14,309 (this includes those that don’t know what their level of cover is). With 20% of the population (5.2 million households) that means £74.4 billion worth of possessions is currently uninsured and at risk.

Mark Anderlee, once a victim of sexual abuse, now a battle-hardened Army sniper and veteran of the war on terror, takes a vow one day in the searing desert of northern Iraq to wreak vengeance on his childhood tormentor. Half a world away, Archbishop Wilfred Gunnison prepares for a jubilee celebration of his priesthood--oblivious to the juggernaut creeping his way.
When Gunnison receives a mysterious and potentially lethal threat, he calls on Bishop Bryn Martin, his former Master of Ceremonies--the man whose job it has always been to maintain appearances--to protect him and to keep a quickly unraveling situation from exploding beyond repair.
A secret society with roots deep in the Vatican power structure is roused to action when an American leader of the cabal makes a panicked trip to Rome. That Brotherhood's covert leader, known only as M, dispatches forces of his own to do whatever must be done to keep his operation functioning in obscurity and darkness. Unexpected forces, threats seen and unseen, the character's own hubris and humility all drive this story of sin and silence, intrigue, violence and retribution to its not-so-inevitable conclusion.
Critically-acclaimed author Donald Cozzens that takes us behind the scenes of the Roman Catholic Church for an unflinching look at clergy sexual abuse and its very personal consequences. Cozzens weaves an intricate story of scholars and trained killers, bishops and priests, church ladies and clandestine operatives struggling--each in their own way--to protect the institution they venerate or to blow the lid off the oldest boys' club in the world.

Yep, it’s that time of the week again for Fimnora Westcaw’s Monday Music Medicine Show over at Quantum Hermit. This was ANOTHER hard challenge! It’s been a LONG time since I was in choir in school and I had the darndest time (what do you mean darndest isn’t a word???) coming up with a song for this week.
Fimnora asks, “…what choral songs fill you with the exquisite allure of voices beautifully blending together, and wrap you in their embrace?”
But then I just said to my heart, “Heart, what song makes you feel the most peaceful?”
And I was fortunate to find one of those beautiful acappella multi-track versions of it on YouTube. This one is by a gal named Julie Gaulke, and she did a beautiful job. The song is one of my favorites of all time, Be Thou My Vision.

Congress 2016 The Congress is the ultimate decision-making body of LO and it is held every four years. The latest LO Congress was the 28th Statutory Congress which took place in Stockholm on 17-20 June, 2016. The Congress decided on the guidelines for the LO activities for the coming four-year period. The documents discussed were motions submitted to the Congress and the Congress Report ‘Full employment and a wage policy of solidarity’. The Congress also adopted LO's policy programme for International questions and climate issues
The goal of full employment
High employment rate
For the Swedish Trade Union Confederation full employment means that all those who are willing and able to work should have a job and one job should be sufficient to live on. No-one should need to be unemployed for any more than short periods. But it is not enough to have low unemployment. For the concept of full employment to be meaningful it is also necessary that the percentage of employed people in the population, the employment rate, is high. The more people in work, the better the outlook for financing public welfare. The goal should therefore also be to keep the employment rate high enough to finance generous public welfare provision.
Full, high and evenly distributed employment
The unemployment and employment rates are broad measures that may mask large differences between different groups. For example, the overall employment rate may be high, while women have a lower employment rate than men or while foreign born people have a considerably lower employment rate than native born. The aim should therefore be to minimise these and other differences, so that the unemployment and employment rates are as equally distributed among different groups as possible.
In combination, this means that economic policy should focus on full, high and evenly distributed employment. We consider that ambitious targets should be set. Historically Sweden has experienced a long period that can be said to have been characterised by full employment – the unemployment rate between 1970 and 1990 varied between 2 and 4 per cent and the employment rate was more than 85 per cent in the late 1980s. Even today there are countries that achieve unemployment levels of 3 and 5 per cent with employment rates above 80 per cent. In Sweden there are also groups characterised by very low unemployment and a high employment rate. All in all, in our opinion this implies that full employment would mean an unemployment rate of between 2 and 4 per cent and an employment rate of at least 85 per cent
The LO Executive Council proposes the following:
- The Swedish Trade Union Confederation shall work to ensure that economic policy is focused on full, high and evenly distributed employment.
- The Swedish Trade Union Confederation shall work to ensure that unemployment at most moves within the interval of two to four per cent over an economic cycle
- The Swedish Trade Union Confederation shall work to ensure that the employment rate for 20–64 year-olds is a minimum of 85 per cent
- The Swedish Trade Union Confederation shall work to ensure that the differences in the unemployment and employment rates for different groups are minimised. Examples of these differences are those due to gender, ethnicity, geography, educational level and social background.
Investments to achieve full employment
To achieve full employment, it is important that the overall demand for goods and services is high. Sweden has been experiencing low demand for a long time. The financial crisis that affected the world from autumn 2008 is an important factor. But there are also signs of a more long-term demand deficit. To increase demand, we propose that central government implements an expansive economic programme in the coming years, in order to thereafter stabilise demand at a higher level. The objective of the programme is to strengthen Sweden’s long-term economic development and induce households and private enterprises to increase their consumption and investment.
Fiscal policy programme
Lower interest rates are necessary to boost the economy, but that is not enough. Sweden has reached a point where it is no longer possible to cut the repo rate more. To increase aggregate demand, fiscal policy should therefore also support domestic consumption and investment.
There is scope to make these efforts. Sweden currently has strong general government finances. Since the crisis of the 1990s general government gross debt has fallen from 70 to 40 per cent of GDP. Net general government debt has been turned from a deficit of 30 per cent of GDP to a surplus of just over 25 per cent of GDP. The problem is therefore not public finances but shortcomings in other areas, such as a growing housing shortage, falling school results and too little investment in preparatory labour market policies.
The LO Executive Council proposes the following:
- The Swedish Trade Union Confederation shall work to ensure that the Riksbank’s monetary policy mandate is clarified, to include both stabilisation of inflation around the inflation target and unemployment around a long-term sustainable level
- The Swedish Trade Union Confederation shall work to ensure that fiscal policy is to take greater responsibility for stabilising Swedish economic development
- The Swedish Trade Union Confederation shall work to ensure that there are complete, temporary, fiscal policy packages for adjustment when there is a sharp recession
- The Swedish Trade Union Confederation shall work to ensure that the automatic stabilisers in unemployment insurance are reformed so that workers are given full and reliable income protection
Since the 1990s Sweden has suffered from high unemployment. What is needed is a new economic policy that combines full employment and fair wages with today’s open economy.
Tasked with preparing a basis for broad discussion in the union movement for the purpose of modernising the wage policy of solidarity, with special focus on unequal wage dispersion, gender equal wages, wage drift and international competitiveness, LO presented to the 2016 Congress the report:
Full employment and a wage policy of solidarity, which was adopted by the Congres.
About the congress
Investing in equality
The Congress is the ultimate decision-making body of LO and is held every four years. The Congress of 2016 was the 28th Statutory LO Congress and it took place in Stockholm on 17-20 June, 2016.
The Congress decides the guidelines for the LO activities for the coming four-year period. The documents discussed at the 2016 Congress conisisted of 308 motions submitted by the affiliates or their local sections, and the Congress Report ‘Full employment and a wage policy of solidarity', which was adopted.
The Congress also elected the President, Vice Presidents as well as the members of the Executive Council.
The national unions affiliated to LO were represented by totally 300 elected delegates, in proportion to the membership figures: The Building Workers’ Union 18, The Electricians’ Union 5, The Building Maintenance Workers’ Union 6, GS (the union of forestry, wood and graphical workers) 10, The Commercial Employees’ Union 30, The Hotel and Restaurant Workers’ Union 7, IF Metall 59, The Municipal Workers’ Union 120, The Food Workers’ Union 6, The Musicians’ Union 1, The Painters’ Union 3, The Paper Workers' Union 4, The Union of Service and Communication Employees 18, The Transport Workers’ Union 13.
In addition to the delegates, the members of the Executive Council (14) and the members of the General Council (94) participated in the work of the Congress. Totally, about 1,100 people attended the Congress, including national and international guests and journalists.
The Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO) in the world
The Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO) works for a world in which free and democratic trade union organisations can grow strong and operate freely. We work for a world in which national and international regulations guarantee workers’ fundamental trade union and human rights, both in working life and in society.
In the globalised world we live in today we aim for social, economic and environmental sustainability. This means that initiatives for inclusive economic development must have equality, fair distribution, gender equality, full employment and social protection as guiding principles.
LO’s task of safeguarding its members’ interests requires cross-border trade union work. Trade union collaboration within the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) is of considerable significance for international trade union successes, particularly as regards the fight against social dumping.
National management of a growing number of trade union policy areas is influenced both directly and indirectly by decisions in international bodies. For example, more than half of the questions on the national and municipal political agenda in Sweden are influenced by the EU. We are also influenced by developments in the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the UN and its labour organisation the ILO, as well as by bilateral trade agreements signed between the EU and other regional associations or states.
The elections committee’s proposal for the new LO leadership
The following persons were elected, upon proposal of a unanimous elections committee, to lead LO for the forthcoming four years.
President: Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson, re-election
First Vice President: Therese Guovelin, President of HRF (The Hotel and Restaurant Workers’ Union)
Second Vice President: Berit Müllerström, now Head of the Organisational Development Unit, Kommunal (The Municipal Workers’ Union)
Negotiating Secretary: Torbjörn Johansson, re-election
LO and the Swedish labour market
LO and the Swedish labour market
It all began with a vow:
“We do solemnly swear that we will never under any circumstances work for lower wages or under worse conditions than what we now promise one another. We make this vow, in the secure knowledge that if we all are true to our pledge the employer will be forced to meet our demands.”
We call this “the trade union vow”, the vow that laid the foundation for the first Swedish trade unions in the 19th century. Eventually these different local unions formed national unions and in 1898 these national unions founded LO, the Swedish Trade Union Confederation.
Greetings to the Congress

Engine Repair: Top Signs It Is Time for a Tune Up
As a motorist, the prospect of having to contend with engine repair can be quite scary. Not only does this mean your vehicle may be out of commission for a while, but it could also imply expensive repair costs that you had not budgeted for. However, since some motorists tend to neglect the care and maintenance of their vehicle, engine repair becomes quite a common occurrence. Luckily, knowing the warning signs of engine problems can enable you to save yourself from complete engine repair, as the auto mechanic will remedy the underlying problem before it becomes exacerbated. Below are some of the top signs that it is time to take your vehicle in for a tune up.
Knocking noises emanating from your vehicle
One of the first signs that you may notice of impending engine trouble is knocking sounds coming from the bonnet of your vehicle. This will typically happen when you are driving your vehicle. One of the main culprits of this is worn-out bearings, which begin to clank against the engine when it is in use.
It is prudent to have these bearings replaced post haste, as they are what most of the motor's moving parts lay on. Left unchecked, you may end up requiring a partial rebuild of the motor itself. Avoid driving your vehicle with low levels of oil, as this contributes to the wearing down of these bearings.
Increase in smoke from your exhaust pipe
Granted, the main function of the exhaust pipe is to eliminate smoke from the vehicle. However, excessive amounts of smoke could imply an underlying issue with your vehicle's engine. It should be noted that the colour of the smoke could give you an idea of what is going wrong with your vehicle. For example, if the smoke is thick and black, it could indicate that the vehicle is burning excessive gasoline when it is in use. This could lead to a decrease in fuel efficiency, leading to an increase in your fuel costs.
On the other hand, if the smoke has a blue tinge, it could imply that your engine has developed an oil leak, and this would need to be addressed immediately.
Lastly, white smoke coming out of your exhaust pipe would mean that your coolant is leaking. Leaving this unchecked puts your engine at risk of overheating. Overall, any signs of excessive smoke emanating from your engine should have you seeking automotive repairs post haste.

SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN News: A DRAWER IMAGINED WHAT MIKASA ACKERMAN FROM SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN WOULD LOOK LIKE WEARING TIFA LOCKHART’S COSTUME FROM FINAL FANTASY VII
At present, and after the end of the Shingeki no Kyojin manga, fans are only waiting for MAPPA’s anime adaptation, which will be released early next year.
Despite comments from its creator, Hajime Isayama, it doesn’t seem like a sequel is among his plans. At least not immediate, and he even gave an “alternative” ending to his story. The popularity of his work continues despite what happened.
MIKASA IS A GREAT CHARACTER IN SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN
On the other side is Final Fantasy VII Remake, a remake of the original PlayStation game that came out in January 1997.
This new installment has revamped graphics and gameplay, bringing back characters much loved by players. Remake was released last year on PS4, but it has drawn attention again. All due to the recent release of the adaptation for PS5, Integrade, which takes advantage of the power of this console.
Someone who again entered the radar of many was Tifa Lockhart, one of the most popular characters not only in Final Fantasy VII, but in the world of video games.
She has always drawn attention to the great design of hers. But also because of her well-developed personality. Tifa is a brave and determined woman, who runs her own bar and is endowed with great fighting skills. In the latter, she coincides with Mikasa Ackerman from Shingeki no Kyojin.
TIFA LOCKHART FROM FINAL FANTASY VII HAS A LOT OF FANS
Perhaps that motivated a cartoonist, Alexandra Fomina, to create a version of Mikasa who is wearing Tifa Lockhart’s costume.
The result is extremely interesting, since this fierce exterminator of the Titans fits that outfit wonderfully. It is a design with good technique, which respects the main elements of the appearance of this member of the Exploration Corps. The same can be said for the outfit she wears.
It is a pity that there is no such anime of Final Fantasy VII. Yes, there are animated stories that complement it, but nothing focused on the main one of this great RPG.
If cosplay existed in the world of Shingeki no Kyojin, perhaps Mikasa would have dressed in a different way than usual. But with so many battles she didn’t have much time to think about normal fashion. Nor in something like this activity.

With pop-up beer gardens all the rage over the last several years in Philadelphia, the suburbs are getting into the act.
Last month, I mentioned The Creamery, taking over a century-old building once occupied by the Eastern Condensed Milk Company in Kennett Square. It opens June 3 and will run Thursday to Sunday through mid-September. It's a partnership among owner Michael Bontrager and property manager Sandra Mulry with experiential marketing firm Mole Street and landscape architecture and installation company Groundswell Design Group. Food and beverage will be managed collaboratively by the owners of the Institute Bar, Whetstone Tavern, and Brauhaus Schmitz, and will be overseen by chef Jeremy Nolen of both Whetstone Tavern and Brauhaus Schmitz. Hours will be 5 to 10 p.m. Thursday, 5 p.m. to midnight Friday, 2 p.m. to midnight Saturday, and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday. Info is here.
Now how about two others:
Ambler: Tuesday night, the Lower Gwynedd Township Board of Supervisors approved the Ambler Yards Beer Garden at 300 Brookside Ave., Ambler. The garden - for which Fort Washington's Cantina Feliz and sister restaurant Taqueria Feliz Horsham will provide food and beverage - will be open on Thursdays and Saturdays starting May 19 and will run until the end of June. (It will be closed Memorial Day weekend.) The arrangement is run by Kevin Tierney and Ben Bergman, with Ambler Yards owners Matt Sigel and Marc Policarpo. Menu will include two beers and beer-friendly food, including the signature guacamole. Info is here.
Conshohocken: In early June, Tierney and Esther Pulver are headed to the banks of the Schuylkill with Conshohocken Beer Garden, whose food and beverage partners will be Bar Lucca as well as Pepperoncini. This one will be set up at 2 Ash St., in part of the parking lot at the 3 Tower property, near the Residence Inn. Because of the licensing, patrons will have to register in advance via Tierney's website, MoreThanTheCurve.com. The Conshohocken beer garden, open Wednesday through Saturday, will run through October.


Star Rally Historic in three days for the first time
14. 6. 2021 - Roman Ordelt
Over the recent years, the Star Rally Historic has become an inseparable part of the Barum rally. This year, this popular rally, which has grown into a fully-fledged event and a solid pillar of the Czech Historic Rally Championship, will bring a big premiere at its thirteenth year - it will run for three days from Friday to Sunday for the first time. It also returns the location of its centre back to the city of Zlín. Spectators can look forward to the Rally Legend demonstration drive again.
After last year's cancellation due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Barum Czech Rally Zlín will celebrate the 50th anniversary at the end of August on 27-29 August 2021. The organizers from the Auto Club Barum Zlín are preparing a number of additional events including this year's Star Rally, which will commemorate the jubilee birthday of the famous European competition. "We would like to welcome drivers who wrote the history of the Barum rally and attracted the fans in the past. We plan to organize autograph sessions and meetings with drivers in the Golden Apple shopping and entertainment centre. Star Rally Historic is an important part of the history of the Barum rally and we believe that this year's starting field will offer both interesting cars and famous names in the list of registered crews," said Miloslav Regner, the Clerk of the Course Star Rally Historic.
The competition of historic cars will take place for the first time in three days and the crews will appear in all special stages, just like modern cars in the main ERC field. The ceremonial start will take place on Friday 27 August at 3 p.m. in front of Zlín town hall, and from 7 p.m. the cars will enter the popular city special stage in the streets of Zlín. On Saturday there are scheduled four special stages, the historic cars will drive there between the passages of the main ERC field. The competition will culminate on Sunday 29 August 29 with five special stages split in three sections, when a demanding 25 km long stage is prepared as the rally's finale. The first car will appear on the finish ramp at 7.30 p.m. The Rally Legend demonstration drive will reach its finish line on Saturday evening, their route will be 213 km long and will contain 5 special stages with a total length of 68 km. The complete route of the 13th Star Rally Historic 2021 takes 528 km and contains 10 special stages with the overall length of 142 km.
Star Rally organizers believe that the competition will take place as we know it from the past - with a rich additional program for fans who will be able to enjoy the last holiday weekend on full.

Correct understanding of food preservatives
Preservatives are essential for food preservation and storage
Jiang Liping introduced that food preservatives can be divided into two major categories: chemical preservatives and natural preservatives. Natural preservatives are usually extracted from animal, plant and microbial metabolites, such as nisin, natamycin , and the like . Chemical preservatives such as benzoic acid and its sodium salt, sorbic acid and its potassium salt, propionic acid and its salts , dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt, nitrate and nitrite, sulfurous acid and its salts .
Because the food itself is rich in nutrients, it is easy for the microorganisms to breed and reproduce in large numbers. Therefore, the food is inevitably contaminated by microorganisms in the environment during production, packaging, storage, transportation, and sales . Microorganism growth , food appearance and intrinsic quality will be degraded and lose food value. Consumers are prone to food poisoning, gastrointestinal diseases and even death. Therefore, the use of preservatives is crucial for the preservation and storage of foods . Candied fruit , preserved vegetables , candy , vinegar , soy sauce, bread, cakes, beverages, meat products and other dozens of foods are allowed to add preservatives.
Of course, food preservatives are also “ double-edged swords ”. Currently, there are still some problems in the practical application of preservatives, such as the use of preservatives in super-standard limits during food processing; in order to reduce the cost of food production , the use of quality , low cost , Poor toxic side effects of preservatives are harmful to human health. In addition , long-term excessive intake of food preservatives may also cause excessive intake, which will cause some damage to human health. For example, in inorganic salt preservatives , if nitrite is ingested excessively by the human body, it can cause suffocation in severe cases, and it can be converted into a strong carcinogenic nitrosamine under certain conditions.
Preservatives and Food Safety Are Not Opposed to Each Other
Jiang Liping said that many people mistakenly believe that preservatives are opposed to food safety , which clearly exaggerates the hazards of preservatives and is a misconception of food preservatives.
In fact, at present, China has approved 26 kinds of food preservatives that are allowed to use. Most of them are low-toxicity and highly safe varieties. They have undergone a lot of scientific experiments before being approved for use, and have animal feeding and toxicological toxicological tests. Identification. As long as the food preservatives used by food manufacturers are used in a variety of food preservatives, their scope of use, and their maximum use are strictly controlled within the scope of GB2760-2014 " Food Additives Use Standards ", they will not cause any acute, sub-acute or chronic harm to the human body. , can rest assured that food.
For example, potassium sorbate is a world-recognized high-efficiency and low-toxicity preservative. It is an unsaturated fatty acid that can normally participate in the body's metabolism in the body. Basically, like natural unsaturated fatty acids , it can be decomposed in the body to produce carbon dioxide and water. The use of high safety within the scope of the human body does not harm.
Experts reminded that we must correctly understand and rationally treat preservatives in foods. We should neither blindly pursue“ preservative-free ” foods nor “ discuss the discoloration of preservatives ”. As far as possible, buy products that are reputable and whose quality can stand the test of the market. Because the preservatives used in such products are more prudent and safe to use, the labels are often more realistic. Special populations such as children and pregnant women are advised to use foods containing natural preservatives as much as possible . Do not eat or eat too much foods that use chemical preservatives .

I am currently reading (and enjoying) Ben Aaronovitch’s novel Rivers of London. I’ll admit I’m a sucker for urban fantasies, where the monsters walk among us!
Rivers of London is good stuff, with lots of supernatural fun and, of course, London. What a super setting. The tone is not quite as zany as Christopher Moore’s Dirty Job (set in San Francisco), but it is amusing in its own right. I love these books that explore famous cities well enough that the city essentially becomes a character in the story. They are eerily like my upcoming novel (summer ’22), which is an urban fantasy that explores the mysterious dark-n-rainy city of Seattle–the U.S. title is MONSTER LAWYER (because, yeah, I’m also a lawyer), and the German title is to be determined. Stay tuned, because I intend to take you on a monster-guided tour through the dark places in Seattle.
But back to Rivers of London. Great book. Check it out if you like urban fantasy.

Well, this should definitely make things less awkward between Halle Berry's fiancé and her ex: Now they'll each be a father to one of her children. Berry, 46, who already has a daughter Nahla, 5, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, is now expecting a son with Olivier Martinez, a source confirms to E!. TMZ first reported the news, citing multiple sources. Berry is reportedly about 12 weeks along, and a source says she and Martinez are "really excited."
Martinez and Aubry famously brawled on Thanksgiving, a fight that started with comments about Berry's bitter custody battle with Aubry. More recently, Berry and Martinez got into a scuffle with the paparazzi at LAX when photographers got too close to Berry and Nahla; Berry had to restrain Martinez. TMZ notes this could explain why he was so upset. (Read more Halle Berry stories.)

It could have been different
To the editor:
New Zealand had 22 COVID-19 deaths; Taiwan had 7; South Korea, 298; Vietnam, 0. Why? Because they were prepared. We weren’t.
President Obama set up a Pandemic Response Team that was tasked with stockpiling millions of test kits and hundreds of laboratories that could analyze the samples. President Trump disbanded it in 2018, saying it “wasn’t necessary.”
But it was the lockdown that was completely unnecessary, for had we been prepared we could have tested and identified infected individuals and isolated them. Instead, we wound up isolating whole states, the entire nation. There was nothing else to do.
To date, we have had 150,000-plus deaths that were almost completely preventable. But Trump was convinced that anything Obama did was what he wouldn’t do.
Chaos ensued. And now we have mass death.

Playing as Oddjob in the multiplayer mode of Goldeneye 007 is cheating, said the game's developers themselves, placing an end to the debate on whether the character was just unique or simply unfair.
Released in 1997, Goldeneye 007 for Nintendo 64 was a breakthrough game for a variety of reasons, one of which was its four-player, split-screen multiplayer mode. However, one of the selectable characters in the mode, Oddjob, stirred plenty of debate, and was often banned among groups of friends playing the game.
Oddjob Is 'Blatant Cheating' In 'Goldeneye 007' Multiplayer
Among all the Goldeneye 007 multiplayer characters, Oddjob was the most controversial due to his size. As a very short character, the game's auto-aim system would send bullets flying over him. Opponents, therefore, had to manually aim their shots downward, which was not an easy thing to do in a game that was released in 1997.
Now, 21 years after Goldeneye 007 was released for the Nintendo 64, the game's developers have finally confirmed that playing as Oddjob is cheating, in an interview with Mel Magazine.
"We all thought it was kind of cheating when we were play-testing with Oddjob, but it was too much fun to take out and there was no impetus from any of us to change it," said lead environment artist Karl Hilton.
"It's definitely cheating to play as Oddjob! But that can just add to the fun when you're all sitting there next to each other and berating/poking/hitting the person who chooses him," said gameplay and engine programmer Mark Edmonds. "We could have put something in to stop this blatant cheating, but why not just let players decide on their own rules?"
While Oddjob remains an interesting quirk in a game that was ahead of its time, players who are still enjoying Goldeneye 007 will now have a legitimate reason to make their friends stop picking the diminutive character.
'Goldeneye 007' Still Popular
The Nintendo 64 has long been discontinued, and the game's graphics shows its age, but Goldeneye 007 remains popular among certain groups of players up to this day.
Players are still trying to break Goldeneye 007 speedrunning records, such as a 15-year-old record that was broken in December, and are even creating Goldeneye 007 mods to inject fresh perspectives in the game, such as the one that replaced the game's characters with those from Super Mario 64.
A lot of better first-person shooters have since been released, but Goldeneye 007 will forever hold its place in video game history.

Food should be good for you. But some foods aren’t. Pesticides are sprayed on millions of acres every year and some of them end up on your food.

Can fish really be “organic?” Well, that depends how the USDA shapes that definition in the coming years.

If you're concerned about food safety, you probably already look for organic produce at the supermarket.

On McDonald’s CSR blog, Vice President Bob Langert has defended the company’s Hummer Happy Meal promotion by dismissing the effect that advertising has on children: "… I polled my staff who have or had children. One of them said her children enjoy the little Hummer replicas as toys, just as many kids like toy trucks, regardless of make or model. She drives a MiniCooper, walks with her children to get groceries, bicycles with them on weekends, etc. Another said her grandchildren absolutely love the toy Hummers--that they're fun."Read More

In the first-ever tests of perchlorate in supermarket produce, 18 percent of lettuce samples contained detectable levels of perchlorate, and an average serving of these contaminated samples contained 4 times more than the EPA says is safe in drinking water. EWG estimates that by eating lettuce, 1.6 million American women of childbearing age are exposed daily during the winter months to more perchlorate than the EPA’s recommended safe dose. EWG's findings of perchlorate in retail produce confirm previous tests on greenhouse-grown lettuce seedlings by the EPA and field-grown vegetables by a San Bernardino, Calif. farm whose irrigation water supplies were contaminated by defense contractor Lockheed Martin's abandoned rocket-testing facility.
On January 12, 2001, government health officials issued new advisories warning women to limit fish consumption during pregnancy to avoid exposing their unborn children to unsafe levels of methylmercury. Methylmercury can cross the placenta and cause learning deficits and developmental delays in children who are exposed even to relatively low levels in the womb. The principal exposure route for the fetus is fish consumption by the mother.Read More

The largest global retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) has been facing severe challenges since the last few quarters and showing signs of acute weakness. Amid the weak scenario, the retailer plans to close 269 stores, as it abandons its small-format Express outlets and looks to streamline the chain.
The move includes closure of 154 stores in the U.S., which includes 102 Wal-Mart Express stores. The company will also close 23 neighborhood markets, 12 supercenters, seven stores in Puerto Rico, six discount centers and four Sam’s Club locations.
The company had introduced these small format stores – Walmart Express in 2011 with the aim to attract shoppers who didn’t want to go far for daily items. These stores were well received by consumers and the company even announced plans to open an additional 90 Express stores owing to their sales growth.
However, as per reports, the company projects slower growth in new stores. Price competition is one of the reasons for the slower growth. Wal-Mart is finding it difficult to compete with local grocers in some markets, which compelled it to scale back expansion plans for smaller stores. The decision also ended the company’s pilot Wal-Mart Express program, which was an effort to create a network of small corner stores to compete with dollar-store chains and drugstores.
The Bentonville, AR-based company now plans to focus on the mid-sized neighborhood markets, which are about the size of a grocery store, and its supercenters. Further, Wal-Mart will continue its larger-size neighborhood markets and will continue to expand its footprint in the U.S. and overseas. The company reportedly plans to open 142 to 165 stores in the United States in fiscal 2017 and 200 to 240 stores overseas in the coming year.
Per media reports, the move will affect about 10,000 jobs domestically at 154 locations and will eliminate 6,000 jobs overseas. This will affect less than 1% of its total square footage and revenue. Moreover, the shutdowns will reduce earnings from continuing operations by about 20 – 22 cents per share, with as much as 20 cents of that coming in the fourth quarter fiscal 2016.
We note that in Oct 2015, Wal-Mart laid off 450 workers at its headquarters in Arkansas in order to keep its pricing competitive and reduce expenses as it has already invested heavily in its e-commerce business and is paying higher wages.
Wal-Mart has been struggling to control its expenses after giving a gloomy profit forecast for fiscal 2017 ending January. Earnings are expected to decrease 6%to 12% in the year due to higher wages and increased spending on e-commerce activities.
Wal-Mart expects to incur huge e-commerce expenses over the near term. In an effort to compete with the biggest online retailer Amazon.com (AMZN) and to improve customer service, Wal-Mart is aggressively investing in its e-commerce business. Wal-Mart’s focus on e-commerce will in turn lower profit margin potential, given shipping costs and price competition involved in it.
Wal-Mart has also pledged to spend $1.5 billion to raise employees’ wages and give them extra training in fiscal 2017. The initiative of paying higher wages is expected to help reduce turnover and increase retention. It will also improve its customer service and ultimately that will encourage shoppers to spend more. But it will further raise the expense burden on the retailer. We note that Wal-Mart had increased its minimum wage to $9 an hour in April, and expects to increase it to $10 per hour in Feb 2016. Higher labor costs along with the company’s efforts to overhaul its stores and invest in its online operations will weigh on its earnings.
Not only is the company under pressure on the expense side, it has been posting disappointing results for the past several quarters due to sluggish U.S. sales. Wal-Mart is facing intense competition on all fronts, ranging from dollar stores to the traditional grocery store chains and online business. It is also trying to keep pace with the rapidly changing behavior of shoppers.
Wal-Mart currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

New Delhi: President Pranab Mukherjee, Vice President Hamid Ansari, Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi Tuesday greeted people across the country on the occasion of Holi and hoped the festival will further strengthen unity and harmony.
In his message, the president said the colours of Holi were a reflection of the country's diversity and multi-cultural heritage. Holi is being celebrated March 27.
"This festival which marks the advent of spring, is a harbinger of joy, hope and fulfilment for all. The myriad colours of Holi are a reflection of our diversity and multi-cultural heritage," Mukherjee said.
"May this festival of colours strengthen faith in our cherished national values, and promote oneness, harmony and the good of all," he added.

"Holi, which is celebrated with gaiety and enthusiasm throughout the country, reinforces the message of our unity in diversity and of equality of all human beings. May the festival bring peace, prosperity and happiness for all," he said.
"Holi has a special significance in our centuries-old cultural heritage which promotes social harmony and brotherhood," said Gandhi in her message.

The CIE initiative provides opportunity and inspiration to a global group of young people aspiring to meaningful and impactful careers in the entertainment industry.
We believe that all people—regardless of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, age, or ability—should have the opportunity to participate in storytelling, both behind and in front of the camera. Young people from underserved backgrounds who want to pursue careers in film and television may be talented and motivated, but they might not know where to start. By mentoring the next generation of entertainment leaders from these communities, we can help change the face of film and television. Our aim is to expose these talented young people to the wide range of professions available within the business and show them clear avenues to their desired careers.
We want to hand over the camera, the storyboard, the budget, or the deal-making, to those whose voices usually go unheard.


I'm going to be totally honest with y'all…every time I'm assigned a Real Housewives of Atlanta post which involves NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak I hear NeNe's voice in my head screaming variations of "Keep your legs closed to married men" and "WIG!" the entire time I'm typing. It's equal parts awesome and a tad crazy. It's like I have NeNe Tourettes.
We all know that the once besties turned frenemies turned mortal nemeses (Looky there! I just learned the plural of nemesis…informative and educational!) have been going back and forth about the real reason Kim allegedly leaves the show mid-season. There's even a Twitter battle immortalized on the Internet where they spewed insults. Kim claims she quit, while NeNe has her on blast for being fired.
Kim counters with her own spin-off in the works (why would Bravo fire her, it basically promoted her?), while the Neenster cites pre-existing contractual obligations regarding said spin-off. Is NeNe going to law school in between filming her reality show, her sitcom The New Normal, and her guest spots on Glee? Kim's new spin-off is set to premiere in April and is creatively titled Don't Be Tardy…does she owe Kandi Burruss royalties for that title?
Don't Be Tardy For… uuuuh… the Weave Convention? Kim Zolciak was conspiciously absent from the season 5 Real Housewives of Atlanta promo photos after several rumors maintained that she was largely absent from filming obligations. Well apparently it's because the former Real Housewife turned real housewife has landed herself a permanent spinoff!
Kim will definitely be present in season 5 of RHOA, but sparingly according to TMZ. Instead Kim was granted her own show which has already started filming in Georgia. Don't Be Tardy For The Wedding was a surprising ratings hit for Bravo last season – probably because of the much-anticipated wig removal and apparently good things come to those who wait!
The press release reads: “The pressure is on as she rushes to find a dress, lose remaining baby weight and cosmetically enhance trouble spots. With the date quickly approaching, problems mount- her invitation is leaked to the press and her mother refuses to attend the wedding. Still, Kim is determined to marry Kroy and won’t let anything ruin her perfect day. Don’t be tardy for this party as Kim refuses to give up on happily ever after.”
The show premieres with double episodes on Thursday, April 26, at 9pm and 9:30pm et/pt. A preview clip is below!
Moving on to other news, Kim, 33, is now finally revealing the real reason she fired her long suffering assistant, Sweetie Hughes.
In her latest blog for Bravo, Kim writes: “Sweetie began to become a bit lazy, she didn’t seem like herself anymore, and it worried me. The last thing I want is for our relationship to be ruined because of my role as her boss. Because of those feelings, I had to let Sweetie go.”
Kim, who states she’s known Sweetie for over 12 years and considers her a part of her family, adds, “That decision was best for the both of us, because now she’s just my girlfriend. No obligations, not stress. I’d much rather let Sweetie go and keep her as a friend, than keep her and jeopardize one of the most important relationships I have! Assistants come and go but you can’t buy loyalty.”
Kim didn’t end there; she also explained why she did not attend Cynthia Bailey’s anniversary party. Kim blogged, “As far as Cynthia’s one year anniversary party, I absolutely was not attending. First off, Peter acted like a total ass at my baby shower, and second I wasn’t about to attend an event for someone who implied I am racist (saying I would never hold a “black baby”). ”
She continues, “It’s amazing to me how upset Cynthia has been about my comment last year that Peter and Cynthia won’t last a year when her own family thinks that! I am happy for Cynthia and hope her marriage lasts forever, but I am entitled to my own opinion and had absolutely no desire to attend her event.”
Finally, Kim also took to her Twitter page this week to post a picture of herself with no make-up on! That pic is below.
And speaking of tweet pics, NeNe Leakes and Kim Kardashian met up again this week in Atlanta to do a photo-op dinner! Kim is back in Atlanta to film more scenes for her recurring guest role on Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva.
Kimmie Kakes tweeted a photo of herself with NeNe on Wednesday with the caption “HOTlanta is not the same without dinner with @neneleakes LOVE YOU!” That pic is also below!

While there’s no confirmation yet on the Nene’s show, Rob Shuter of the Huffington Post revealed today that Bravo is moving ahead with a reality show for Kim, a la Bethenny Frankel.
“Kim is a game-changer. She was the first housewife to release a single [“Tardy for the Party”] and just like Bethenny [Frankel], she fell in love and got pregnant while taping the show. She’s the perfect choice for the next lady to get her own show,” reveals an insider.
Bravo giving an Atlanta housewife their own spinoff isn’t exactly a major surprise as till this day, the franchise remains the highest rated housewives series for the network. The season three finale brought in a record breaking 4.4 million viewers. Season four began filming in April and is scheduled to debut before the end of this year. The RHOA seasons usually premiere in the fall.
“Kim’s new show is going to follow the very successful Bethenny formula,” an insider adds. “A new mom and her fiancé trying to make everything work. Juggling baby, boyfriend and career. But instead of all those trips to a therapist that Bethenny made, expect Kim to work out her problems at the nail salon with friends.”
Should definitely be an interesting show! The report that came out earlier this year stated that if either Kim or Nene got their own spinoff, they would be leaving the RHOA. So it’s very likely season 4 will be Kim’s last season on the show.
Kim gave birth to her third child, a baby boy, back in May, and is currently living with her NFL beau/baby daddy Kroy Biermann. There are rumors the two are engaged but nothing has been confirmed by Kim.

In building & design and transport, polyurethanes are widely used. The increased demand for polyurethanes is anticipated to boost sustainability in the near future. The worldwide polyurethane industry is also fueling increasing demand for flexibility and durability. The manufacturing of rigid and flexible foams focuses on manufacturers. Polyurethane can readily be blended in many of the high-end apps with other raw materials. By integrating polyurethanes into automobiles, automotive companies will enhance the quality, security and efficiency of contemporary cars.
Asia Pacific developing countries like India and China are both significant manufacturers of polyurethane goods and consumers. In flexible and rigid foams, polyurethane is used as a raw material. It is also used in coatings, adhesives and screening agents. The main products sections in the worldwide polyurethane industry include flexible and rigid foams. However, volatility and an increase in acid-epoxy clothing demand due to their low price and elevated quality can restrict the worldwide polyurethane market during the forecast period. In addition, the use of acid-epoxy coatings is less harmful to the setting. The preference for bio-based polyurethane fuels is, however, increasing on the market. Furthermore, because of the various applications, including wood floors, kitchen cabinets and furnishings, the consumer tendency towards water-borne and UV-curated polyurethane scattering has increased. This dispersion delivers high efficiency with minimal process problems and almost null emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
In 2017, the world market dominated Asia Pacific. In the coming years, the area will lead the world polyurethane industry. During the projected era, the market in Asia Pacific will probably quickly grow. Consumer goods sector in the area is fueling demographic growth. In turn, this is driving sectors such as bedding & equipment and construction in Asia-Pacific. Polyurethane is a common commodity for the production of furnishings in raw materials. Rigid polyurethane foams are commonly used in the building industry in wall foundations. In developing economies such as China and India, building and construction sector growth is a significant factor that boosts polyurethane demand in the Asia-Pacific region. Mature polyurethane markets are North America and Europe. Because of the existence of important producers, the market in these areas is expected to grow slightly. Due to the existence of developing countries and the development of the building & design and the lying and furnishings industry in these areas, the polyurethan market in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America is anticipated to grow considerably in the forecast era.
Key Players & Strategies
BASF SE; Covestro; DIC Corp.; Huntsman Corp.; Nippon PU Industry Corp., Mitsui Chemical Corp.; The Dow Chemical Company; Eastman Chémical Co.; Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. Recticel S.A.; Woodbridge Foam Corp.; RTP Company. These producers participate actively in product research and development, technological progress and policy cooperation in order to enhance their presence in the worldwide market.
The Dow Chemical Company, BASF, Mitsui Chemicals and Covestro are the main providers of foodstuffs. These businesses have incorporated their activities to generate PU themselves to cut production expenses and make cost savings while improving their current logistics and supply chain.
There is a high level of rivalry between players in the world market for polyurethanes. The market is dominated by technologically sophisticated major players. The industry in polyurethane is capital-intensive and technological.

139 r*pe case: Hyd cops arrest Dollar Bhai in Goa
The Central Crime Station (CCS) police arrested Dollar Bhai alias Rajasekhar Reddy in Goa and shifted him to Hyderabad for investigation. Based on the r*pe complaint of a victim, the CCS police registered a case against him. The victim’s statement to police that 139 persons have r*ped her over the years has created a sensation. Several Dalit groups have supported her after coming to know about her plight. Later, the victim claimed that she filed a false complaint against 139 persons including political and TV personalities after she was threatened by Dollar Bhai.


Nokia has launched the Nokia Asha 310, the latest in its line of affordable smartphones, which this time comes with Wi-Fi and dual SIM capabilities.
The Nokia Asha 310 follows on from the Nokia Asha 308 and the Nokia Asha 309, which were launched in September of last year. Like those two phones, the Nokia Asha 310 runs on Nokia’s ancient but heavily-tweaked Series 40 OS.
In terms of specs, the Nokia Asha 310 is a typically modest and compact affair. It employs a small 3-inch 400 x 240 capacitive touchscreen display and weighs just 103.7g.
Things are similarly tight inside the Nokia Asha 310 – it contains just 128MB of internal storage. This is expandable thanks to a microSD slot, however.
Around back sits a modest 2-megapixel camera, and there’s no 3G connectivity.
Where the Nokia Asha 310 really stands out is in its unique combination of Wi-Fi and dual SIM capabilities. Nokia claims it’s the first of its handsets to employ both at the same time.
Dual SIM, as you might have guessed, means that you can run two different mobile accounts from your phone simultaneously. Given the number of people running around with two phones in their pocket (usually one work, one personal), this could be an extremely handy feature.
The other attractive part of the Nokia Asha 310 is its price. Thanks to those extremely modest specs, the phone can be had for just $102 (before tax).
Add in the Nokia Xpress Browser, which compresses internet data by as much as 90 per cent, and you have a highly cost-effective phone.
The Nokia Asha 310 will initially be made available in Asia, India, the Middle East, Africa and Brazil starting in the first quarter of 2013.
