The No-Hassle Way To Topping Up Your Life Cover

Have you considered that the special events in your life recently may warrant a top-up of your life cover? Probably not. You've likely been too busy moving house, planning a wedding or changing nappies - in other words, getting on with life. Understandably, increasing your life insurance cover may not have been at the top of your list of things to do.

Its worth a look at your policy to see if it allows you to top up your cover following special events, without the need for additional medical information. If youre not insured, its a good idea to look for a product which includes this feature.

As a general rule, you can increase your cover by up to 50% - without the need to provide further information for special events such as:

Having or adopting a baby
Getting married or divorced
Taking out a new home loan
Increasing an existing mortgage
Becoming responsible for the full-time care of a close relative.

There will, naturally, be an increase in your premiums for improved levels of cover, and you may need to provide evidence of the special events like those mentioned above.

There may also be limitations, such as the time periods in which you can major an increase to your cover (typically one event every year) or the amount you can increase your cover by (generally up to 50% of the original sun). An age restriction may also apply.

Talk to us for more information and advice on hassle-free top-ups.

Homemade Hummingbird Nectar

HUMMINGBIRD NECTAR RECIPE

We love hummingbirds and love to watch them throughout the day, especially after a long day, relaxing in our backyard nature retreat.

We have 4 feeders that are strategically located throughout our gardens. The red, hummingbird nectar feeders ( red attracts hummingbirds) are placed in areas that are naturally defined territories ( as you know, hummingbirds are very territorial) which helps cut down on the fighting.

Our recipe is derived from the old standard recipe, but please be aware that a lot of research has gone into making sure that we are providing the most beneficial source of hummingbird food replacement.

Our recipe starts with cane sugar. As you know, there are two sources of sugar: cane sugar and beet sugar, of which 70% of the worlds supply comes from cane sugar. Both are chemically sucrose and fall into the carbohydrate family. Carbohydrates are easily digested and provide the immediate energy boost that hummingbirds need to sustain their incredibly high metabolism. (Comment: I guess if we humans had that kind of metabolism we wouldnt be facing our obesity crisis! Wowwhat a concept more exercise increased metabolic rate burn more calories less fat).

Sorry! Back to the topicthe second constituent our hummingbird food recipe is water. Ever thought about the type of water you use for your hummingbird food? We have. The hummingbirds source water comes from the naturally occurring water sources available: dew, rain water and deposits of rain water, people provided (bird baths), and finally that provided in the hummingbirds diet.

We use our tap water which is supplied from our well. The waters chemical composition is generally hard ( contains calcium and magnesium) but has a TDS ( Total Dissolved Solids) of 275 ppm with no measurable concentrations of lead or arsenic. Its safe for us to drink so the hummers get the benefits of some added minerals. We feel its better than using distilled or purified water in our hummingbird recipe.

Now, if youre a city dweller, you may have chlorine or flouride added to your water. Id recommend boiling that water to flash off the chlorine or flouride, 5 minutes of boiling should be sufficient.

Next ingredient .RED COLORING.No way!

Lets look at it from a hummingbirds perspective. They like red and are attracted to the color due to genetics and environmental stimuli flowers. If your hummingbird feeder is red why do you need more?

Naturally occurring nectar is clear and odorless ( Hummingbirds are not attracted by scent). So why buy these colored or scented mixes?

The red coloring (Red #40) has been banned in countries due to its mutagenic properties ( can cause cancer). Why would you want to introduce chemicals into the hummingbirds diet that are foreign to their digestive system?

Several experienced, licensed wildlife rehabilitators have reported seeing disturbing damage in hummers that were known to use dyed syrup, including tumors of the bill and liver.

Here is our researched hummingbird food recipe:

1 part cane sugar/ 4 parts water ( no chlorine or fluoride) Measure and add sugar, at the rate of 1/4 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water. Let cool and store excess in refrigerator until ready to use.

Fill one-third of the container and be sure to change the mixture twice a week. You will need to clean your feeder every few days, with hot water and a mild (10%) bleach solution to inhibit bacteria/mold. Rinse thoroughly before refilling with water syrup.

Hope you enjoyed the article!

Our Move From a Traditional Business to an Internet Business

In todays world of the Internet it is interesting to note the massive differences that have occurred even in the last decade.

At the ripe old age of 41 I am fortunate enough to have grown up, along with my business partners, having known the old business world and being able to embrace the new.

When we had our first major foray into the business world through our original company, Nexxus (UK) Limited In 1995, we tried to avoid all the pitfalls of traditional business and branch into distribution as opposed to manufacture, thereby avoiding warehousing, and excessive staffing, crippling rules about health and safety and the usual expenses such as lorries, forklifts etc.

What did we end up with? Warehousing, staffing, lorries forklifts, racking, 50 000 square feet of warehousing and a pile of overheads.

Thus, when we created the concept of our current business three years after selling Nexxus, I think that one of the primary directives was to avoid the aforementioned traditional costs.

Introduce internet business -- at Citylocal, we are able to conduct a successful, communications-based business encompassing several countries without entering into the traditional problem-infested areas of international transport, late goods, letters of credit & warehousing.

We are able to conduct business using technology rather than physical goods and even perform presentations using 21st century systems that 10 years ago would have seemed impossible.

In a sense we are able to conduct business in a manner that perhaps in the 1980s, for example, was only available to the money or stock trading markets. As one is probably well aware, why trade the physical stock if it possible to trade the price of the commodity? Ultimately, of course, the physical stock or money will have to move but why dirty ones hands?

This is essentially what internet business can deliver for people that are able to free themselves from the mindset that they have to be involved in moving the physical goods or indeed the service necessary to satisfy the customer.

With an increasing amount of people using the net as a search facility or knowledge accessibility forum, the internet is gaining ground every week on traditional business.

What does this achieve for people apart from the obvious benefits of being able to work at home more effectively or gain instant access to vast amounts of information? Put very simply it enables people to reach a previously untappable audience and, given the right work done with search engine optimisation experts, enables people to reach massive potential customers.

The whole approach to the internet is what is important and the realisation that one does not necessarily need to physically transport certain goods to be an effective market maker is essential.

This all being said, the age-old necessities of a business hold true- the service or product must be desired, good quality and the right price to make the potential transaction attractive.

Thankfully this is one area that I personally hope will never change and good old economics should see us through on this one opportunity and choice.
