Excess

You only have to peruse the supermarket aisles to realise that food prices are spiralling out of control, staple items like bread, pasta and rice have seen some supermarkets impose rationing to prevent bulk buying. Prices of rice alone have increased by 93% over the last year (granted some export restrictions have affected this) and they show no sign of stopping any time soon. These kind of scary

I did 30 minutes slow dancing today as I always do before I had my surgery. But I felt something that tells me, that my body is not ready to start being as active as before, yet.

But I guess I have to wait a little longer untill I feel that my body is ready.Even if my doctor tells me that everyt

I came up with a sudden realization a while ago. After eating the school lunch (給食・きゅうしょく・kyuushoku), I can’t bear the sight of the excess food in each bins. That was only for the faculty.

By: Chad Tackett   Most people's primary motivation for weight management is to improve their appearance.

French scientists have conducted an international study in seven countries and found, that lack of sleep undoubtedly leads to excess weight. This is explained by the activity of two hormones: Ghrelin responsible for hunger and Leptin reducing appetite. If one sleeps only 4 hours a day during two days running, the secretion of Ghrelin increases y 28%, while Leptin levels reduce by 18%. Japanese Study. Sleep Deprivation and Children Another Japanese research also devoted to the effect of sleep deprivation on weight problems have found interesting facts.

I especially liked:Fuels Costs, High Gas Prices and the Real Estate Investor @ BiggerPocketsThis article discusses some interesting effects high gas prices might have on real estate investors. An interesting point made is that increased fuel costs will also affect the selection process of the average home buyer as longer commutes to work become more costly. I believe low gas prices have created an inherent inefficiency in real estate and urban planning. I find suburbs to be one of the main problems created by this inefficiency resulting in commuters jamming highways and roads, pollution and waste of resources an

In an effort to sell their vacant homes faster, some investors are now offering higher real estate commissions—in excess of 6 percent—to their real estate agents. It is no surprise that sellers are using such desperate measures, but is offering higher commissions really the best use of funds? Let’s look at the pros and cons.Why to offer higher real estate commissionsBy offering a higher commission to your listing agent, you can expect them to offer more services, including more advertising to draw more potential buyers to your property. Selling agents—the agents representing buyers—often have limited time, and if they are trying to choose five homes to show from 20 candidates, a higher commission may be a determining factor in their decision. In essence, a higher commission may m

By now, you would have acquired a good basic understanding of excess. But, do you know that other than Eldery Young & Inexperienced Driver (EYIDR), you might also experience a higher excess loaded by the insurer? I have listed a few examples below for your reference.1. Endorsed driving licenseIt could be due to speed driving, hit and run, drink driving etc. Well, if you have your driving license revoked / suspended recently, it will affect your insurance premium and excess. The insurer will usually look at the duration of revoke, when it was revoked, alochol level, frequency, accident details, occupation etc to underwrite your proposal. If they do take in your case, you should expect a certain loading on your premium and excess accordingly. 2. High claim experienceIn Singapore, you are req

n slides presenting the group's 2007 results, Generali said it has real estate assets worth 22.93 bln eur, with 40 pct of the portfolio being in Italy.The company said its exposure to structured finance, net of policyholders' participation, is 1.481 bln eur compared to an overall group investment portfolio of 285.9 bln eur.Generali said it has no exposure to US subprime assets and negligible exposure to US monoline insurers.

Let us move on to see how excess is related to premium.Let's assume that you have a normal saloon car (Toyota Vios) and based on your profile, your motor policy premium is at $1000 with standard excess of $500. As mentioned earlier, if you happen to have a minor accident with cost of repairs < $500, it is pointless to claim against your policy for the repairs. As such, insurer actually protect themselves from small claims by setting a standard excess on the policy. Thus, the higher the standard excess, it also means a lower risk for the insurer. In that earlier example, if the standard excess is at $1500 instead of $500, the premium should be lower than $1000, say $950. Likewise, if the standard excess is set at $0, the premium will be higher than $1000 since it means a higher risk for the

I'm going to talk a little bit more on excess that you'd need to pay in the event of an accident first before we move on to see how it relates to your premium.After all, a lot of us might not be aware of the possibly additional excess imposed by the insurer on the policy which is usually reflected somewhere clearly in the terms & conditions. I have listed down a few common ones for your reference.1. Unnamed driver compulsory excessSome insurers impose an additional excess in the event that the driver of the accident is not named under the policy. The rationale is very simple; if the driver is not named, the risk uncertainty is higher and the premium collected might not be sufficient in the first place. 2. Elderly, Young and Inexperienced Driver (EYIDR)It is not uncommon for insurers to cha

Are you a first time car owner? Do you know what you need to pay in the event of an accident? If you are a first time proud owner of a car, you will probably have seen the certificate of insurance from your insurer already. You might not have noticed in the certificate or might not even be aware of this term that appeared as Excess. Some people like to call it "Deductible" instead. So, what is it?I'll like to define it as the minimum amount that you have to pay before the insurer proceed to settle your claim. Another definition is also available at thefreedictionary. Let me give an illustration. For example, right under your certificate, the standard excess is stated as $500.00. Thus, in the event that you met a minor accident and need to submit your damaged vehicle for repair and assumin

No. thebankruptcynewsdotcom Short article today. In the above chart, an ascending line shows gold acting as a hedge against the mad emission of currency by the fed. A descending line show gold losing value against the “currency inflation.” As you can see, gold is not a particularly apt instrument to hedge against liquidity injections by the Federal Reserve (which eventually produce inflation). The flat line at the left of the chart is the period during which the US used the gold standard (the fed could not print more money than the gold it had in its reserves and the price of gold was regulated). The periods of accelerated injection of currency are marked by steep down lines. If the current conditions persist, and history can provide any lessons, we shall be in a period of high inflation in the next 2 to 5 years. The following chart shows the same data (adjusted for scale), where you can see how the price of gold does not correlate to the injection of money by the Fed

The theme this week for Illustration Friday is: "Excess". What exactly was I thinking when I painted this last year? Big hair was an 80's thing and if this isn't excessive hair, I don't know what is. I think the title of this piece is appropriate too, "Winter Warmth". No wonder the little green bird thinks this is a perfect nest! And yes, I had big 80's hair, as much as I hate to admit that!

An advantage of last night's excesses and my early start this morning for a meeting meant that I was positioned in the area around Borough Market at breakfast time. There's been a recent advertising campaign which says that a perfect Saturday in London can start with a visit to Borough Market, so what could I do but give it a try? The London streets around this area were showing the signs of autumn and the River Thames glittered with a bright sunny early November morning. I walked along the cobbled streets past the old gaol known as the Clink and then turned towards the market, absolutely bustling with Londoners and canny tourists who have properly studied the areas to visit in London Town.For most of the week, the market is a wholesale mainly fruit market, but at the weekends it turns into a retail market, with an emphasis on fine food products. The whole area around the market is steeped in history starting with the market itself, which is supposed to date from Roman times. There'

And lovin' it!Mrs. E, Lil'E and I have been in Disney World this week. Fully indulging in the excess that Walt instigated. For those coming here and not bringing a trailer of food to sustain yourself for the stay, I suggest the Disney Dining plan: you get one counter service (burger/sandwich/etc. with side, drink, and dessert), one snack, and one table service meal every day. The table meal (at Disney prices, usually about $30 per person) easily covers the cost of the plan and leaves the other meals "free".They say that the British have perfected waiting in lines, but Disney has taken it to a new level. Maybe that's why we've heard so many European accents this week. Here is the line to get in to ride "It's A Small World".So, anyway, we're went trick or treating in the Magic Kingdom tonight. Yesterday afternoon we got to sing and dance with Dan Zanes (of the Del Fuegos) - good music, which happens to be for kids and families. Here is Lil'E getting his autograph. Confidentially,

I kept hearing on the news about some fancy cars that were driving at excessive speeds down country roads. I was reading about it on the CBC website. The article "RCMP investigate video showing cars hitting speeds of 300 km/h". Well, it took a bunch of work, but I managed to find the video. Apparently, the top speed that was hit by the group was 339 km/h. I happen to know that there is NO highway in Alberta (where the video was shot) that has a Maximum of more then 110 km/h, so this makes them approximately 230 km/h over the legal limit on Any road. Apparently, the video is designed as a promotional video for ZR Auto in Calgary. Ofcourse, now that the police are looking into the video, the story is that it was faked. By the sounds of CTV's article "Luxury cars speed past 200 km/hr on Alberta roads" depending on the evidence police are able to collect, charges could range from a speeding offence to dangerous driving under the Criminal Code, which could re

There is a great free utility for cleaning out unnecessary files and other junk from your Windows XP computer. The program is called EasyCleaner. It is a simple to use program with some important features for keeping your system clean. Registry Cleanup Microsoft Windows XP uses something called “The Windows Registry” to store information about programs which are installed on your computer. Over time as more and more software is installed the registry only increases in size. The bigger it becomes the slower the system rums. Sometimes when programs are uninstalled the entries they put in the registry are not removed. Over time these “dead entries” can accumulate, causing degradation in system performance. EasyCleaner will scan your registry for entries which are not associated with any installed programs, which can then be deleted. Temporary Files Different programs in Windows XP create temporary files to store information for a short period of time. This

Experiments in living that step us out of our normal life experience can be invaluable tools. I think they are the sorts of things that begin to help us question our current lifestyle. One Josh writes: It’s a shame that as a culture we are so used to excess that we don’t even recognize it anymore. And it’s a shame that I’ll probably wrestle with this decision for another month. The entire time talking about ethics and Jesus and taking the moral high road. Feel good about myself. And then break down and buy it. I’m a hypocrite. It’s an honest struggle and these words connect with a lot of us, as they are things we rarely even dare to think out loud or acknowledge. For Josh, it’s this sort of pondering that led him to give up this. I am so happy to see Josh make a decision like this because I really believe it will free him up to focus on and be willing to challenge other areas of his life and choices. I am excited about were this new freedom and balance will take

Photo by IaRuth There are 2 ways to avoid paying this excess.   If you hire a car in Europe several times during a one year period, you can purchase an annual insurance policy for around £50, which covers the excess.  If you will only hire a car a for couple of weeks, you can pay an additional amount to the car hire company, which means the excess will be refunded to you. For example with AutoEurope.com the additional charge per week for a supermini varies between £4 - £10.  The additional amount payable depends on the class and size of car that you hire and the country of hire.

Saturday was Kate’s 60th birthday. Kate is a good friend of my parents, from their graduate school days. She, her husband, and their daughter flew out to San Diego from Williamsburg, VA, and met up with her son, who now lives in San Diego. My mom and I put on a damn fine dinner for eight Saturday night. We did three courses from Michel Richard’s Happy in the Kitchen, plus a soup from the Book of Soups, an intermezzo in the form of David Lebovitz‘ Raspberry-Rose sorbet, and a decidedly excessive chocolate cake (by the way, don’t ever bother with chocolate transfer sheets). Needless to say, I’m beat. And stuffed. Henning requested something healthy tonight, after the weekend’s excess, and man, was I happy to oblige. We decided on a recipe that’s been in rotation as a result of a meal that my mother and Kate had at the National Museum of the American Indian a few years ago. The museum cafe serves an amazing wild rice salad, and Kate asked for the

Tiny "screaming machines" could stretch battery life in laptopsA U.S. Army-funded research project at the University of Utah has resulted in a crop of unusual devices that turn waste heat into sound energy, then into electricity.A team led by physics professor Orest Symko is scheduled to demonstrate the thermoacoustic engines Friday at the Acoustical Society of America's annual meeting in Salt Lake City.One doctoral student participating in the project created a cylindrical device smaller than a penny that can pump out 120 decibels of sound -- roughly equal to that produced by a rock concert or a police siren.In a statement released by Symko, the researcher said he plans to test a range of thermoacoustic designs developed by the 2-year-old Thermal Acoustic Piezo Energy Conversion (TAPEC) project later this year. The tests will be conducted at an Army radar installation and at the Utah campus' hot water plant.The Army hopes to harness the technology to reduce waste heat from devices s

In March I wrote a post about AIG (AIG) and that it's profit picture was not a rosy as it looked due to some questionable tactics. Now a report comes that they are being forced to return "excess profits" to the state of Massachusetts. HMMMMMM. AIG, who carried the workers compensation for the "Big Dig" in Boston, recently reached a settlement with AG Martha Coakley in which they agreed to return almost $60 million in "excess profits" and interest to the state. In the original agreement... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

From Gulf NewsBeijing: Excess liquidity will keep driving China's share prices higher even though the market is already in bubble territory, according to some economists.The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index has risen 40 per cent this year on top of a 130 per cent leap in 2006. Domestic A shares now trade at an average of more than 40 times their 2006 earnings, compared with around 14 times for Hong Kong blue chips.Zhong Wei, director of the Finance Study Centre at Beijing Normal University, said he expected the price-earnings ratio to reach 50 "without any problem"."There is a possibility that the bubble in the capital market will swell further," Zhong said at a bi-monthly gathering of Chinese economists and researchers hosted by Reuters, adding Chinese firms' strong profitability and an appreciating yuan would also help push up domestic shares.Zhong said there was already a bubble in China's property market, pumped up by a gusher of cash in the global financial system.Sheng Hong,

From Japan TimesMore than a month has passed since the Shanghai stock market plunge sent shock waves throughout global markets in late February. Although share prices have since stabilized, volatility rife in foreign-currency markets, with the dollar-yen rate sometimes fluctuating nearly 2 yen a day.Stock markets are prone to synchronized global downturns when new types of shock arrive. But it should be noted here that the biggest factor behind the markets' recent problems is excess liquidity.Even in a global chain reaction, different reasons particular to each country work to push down share prices, and the size of the decline varies.In the United States, share prices are under downward pressure from pessimism over the U.S. strategy for Iraq, and the possibility that tons of housing loans extended by subprime mortgage lenders will go sour.In Japan, political uncertainty over local elections and the House of Councilors elections in July are casting a pall over the stock market.In Chin

John Wesley once said, “If I should die with more than ten pounds, may every man call me a liar and a thief.” Wesley, though he made quite a bit of money from his publications, took little for himself, and he died poor. If there was an example of living out Christ call to the rich young ruler to sell your possessions and give it to the poor, John Wesley was probably it. Jesus clearly tell us, “do not store up in barns where moth and rust destroy.” My wife and I currently our in debt, with a handful of school loans. Besides school tuition though, our cost of living is less then our income (if your’s isn’t you might have a problem). We have every intention of that fact remaining, more coming in then going out, for the rest of our lives. That being said, we will constantly be faced with the question of, What to do with Excess? John Wesley’s choice was to rarely let it come within reach, he gave the vast majority of what he made to those in need

In making a quick singlet top in woven fabric I notice there is excess fabric in the back at the waist area. It first looked like I needed to eliminate this with a horizontal tuck, which seemed strange to me as I do not have a short back waist measurement. With this in mind, I tried pinning the excess fabric vertically and it seemed to work. This would mean having to add a CB seam in the future to my tops so I can shape in at the waist to remove the fabric puddle. I know princess seams get around this problem but it is nice to own some princess seam-free tops too.
