Types of Casualty Insurance Your Business Can Benefit From

Businesses are becoming more dynamic and spread-out, having employees traveling across the world to further business goals. Risk factors have also increased and have become rather unpredictable. Previously, when businesses largely operated in their place of origin, they were more aware of the external risk factors both sudden and long-spanning that could be damaging. Businesses could then prepare to protect themselves in advance. The dynamics have changed, and so have the risks. This change in dynamic has raised the need for increased levels of casualty insurance in order to be covered for losses by unforeseen circumstances such as direct accidents, fires, thefts and liabilities.

There are a few types of casualty insurance, each with its own benefits and varied dimensions to help your business be better covered. Read the following to know what these casualty insurance types are;

• Automobile Insurance - Most businesses today own vehicles because traveling is part of mobility. As such, it is highly likely that the vehicle is involved in an accident at some point, either controllable or uncontrollable. Either way, the auto insurance can help your business avoid the losses of having to purchase a new one or repair the old one if the damage is reversible. This differences from property insurance in that it is related to direct accidents having taken place due to human error rather than the indirect accidents that take place because of factors out of the power of human beings; such as a fire, storms, or flooding etc.

• Liability Insurance - A majority of businesses, even the small ones, have people working for them and taking them forward. Liability insurance, in context of businesses, includes injuries to employees of the business while they are at work. This could be on-site or off-site both. Also, any lawsuit filed against the business for having allegedly damaged another business or person's property is also covered under liability insurance. It is basically an indirect insurance which protects not from any physical damage but monetary losses occurred as a result of inadvertently inflating damage or injury on someone else.

• Natural Disasters (Flooding, Fire, Wind Damage) - Generally referred to as flood insurance, this will cover your business from any significant and irreversible damages occurred as a result of not only floods, but hurricanes and tornadoes as well. In light of the recurrent flooding and hurricanes in the recent past, businesses have started resorting to flood insurance to keep their businesses protected against this unavoidable circumstance. Unforeseen incidents are the most dangerous since they can not be predicted ahead in time and hence, special precautionary measures can not be taken. Even if you do get informed of the likelihood of a flood or a hurricane, there's only so much precaution you can take that protects from damage. You can not move a building or concessions; which is why having flood insurance is a fitting option so you get evenly compensated for the damage.

The Laws of Money Part 2 - Making Financial Decisions

Last week's article concerning Jane's debt appeared to raise a stir amongst my friends so I thought I would carry on the theme today. I was not being arrogant towards Jane's but butly pointing out that she was a normal bright girl but not financially educated.

Jane's dilemma was based around her non understanding of the consequences of her financial decisions. It is of course true to surmise that when we were young, all of life's choices and decisions were made for us.

As we grow as human beings and mature, we have to learn how to make our own choices. This is often a slow and painstaking process which can be full of elation and dejection depending on the result. You are not taught in school how to make these decisions and you are not advised how to deal with the consequences, so life for most people gets more difficult, including Jane.

In most peoples lives, their financial choices are the most important decisions a person can make. The reason for this is if you can make good decisions and take control of your finances, it will empower you to make a new world for you to thrive in.

People become rich and successful for 3 reasons.

Firstly, they do not procrastinate, they are decision makers, they are not afraid to be wrong.
Secondly, they understand the rules of money, they do not use their own money to buy liabilities.
Thirdly, they understand tax laws and definitely pay a lower percentage that working and middle class people.

So for Jane, now is the time to take stock of her financial situation. It is time to confront her fears, her stale thinking patterns and all of the other obstacles put in the way by her suspects - not forgetting herself.

These obstacles that have stopped her getting ahead financially.

The most important lesson for Jane is to change her mindset and do it today.
My guess was that Jane was in her early 30's. She will need to spend around 1/3 of her wages for the rest of her life to support her lifestyle after she retires, assuming the government of the day will let her retire? She will already be paying a third (minimum) of her wages in tax. Jane is living below her means to get ahead. This is no way to live your life and this is why I advise Jane to change today.

Yesterday, I attended a training course. The course is designed to create financial freedom by creating passive income for life. Unbelievably, it was attended by a professional footballer who at the age of 24 recognized he could not play football forever and wants financial freedom for his family in the future, even though he is single today!

His decision to attend speaks volumes for him as a person. No matter what happens in his football career, he will always be financially secure. He made a conscious decision to spend his rest day networking with like minded people who would normally be cheering (or booming) from the stands. He was also the last person to leave after the event.

It is never too early to change your thinking patterns, it is never to late to create financial freedom. Create a team around you of like minded people, these people will inspire you to make the right decisions in your life. I was not part of Jane's team so had no influence on her ...

But I know a certain professional footballer I would have on my team every day!

Thinking Positive with the Law of Attraction

You have probably heard of the new fad going around called "The Law of Attraction" and all the things that know this can bring to you. This is good that this knowledge is getting out to the world, but there are a few key pieces missing.

For example when you are driving on the highway, the speed limit is clearly posted every few miles. Yet to drive the highway there are a few other things you must know before you ever hit an on ramp. So it is with the newly advertized Law of Attraction, there are a few other things you must know.

Positive thinking is but one aspect of Law of Attraction, just thinking positive will not bring you glory and riches. You do have to earn what you have. You have more than likely hear of lottery winners who win millions of dollars, but end up just as broke and further in debt than before they won. Do you know why that is? It is because their inner self is not developed enough to handle the situation. Yes that seems harsh, but it is the reason.

Your outer world is a reflection of what you are inside. If you were to say that you will help other people when you get rich, chances are you will not. If you do not help people now, nothing will change you should become wealthy. Many times the universe (god) answers and grants wealth to people to see if indeed they will help other people as there is something that person must do that will change the whole world. What happens in most cases is that the person hopes their promise to help others and gets wrapped up in themselves and all the new toys. So the universe will cause the wealth to be transferred to someone else that will do the work to help others.

So many people complain that they do not become wealthy; the problem is not with the universe, the world, or the neighborhood. The problem is inside you; what ever you are now will only amplify with wealth. If you are a lazy person you will only become lazier with wealth. Conversely if you are an energetic and empathetic person you will become a greater person with your wealth. So do not blame the circumances around you for your lack, look inside and see the truth. Once you know what the problem is you can correct it and lead a happier life.

There are certain unwavering laws that govern the operation of this world we live in. Some we can control and use to our advantage, like electricity and sound waves. Others are firm and fixed, like gravity and friction. Understanding these laws and working with them will help you to temporarily overcome their effects; for example the invention of the airplane and the wheel will overcome gravity and friction respectably, but are still subject to those two laws and will ever have to submit to them. IE the airplane will land and the wheel will stop turning.

The Law of Attraction will always keep working, it will cause what you are to become reality; your reality. Every thing has to be in its own context to be appreciated. A beautiful rose bush in a field of corn is nothing but a weed. You will have to create your own world one step at a time, one idea at a time. You must run the race fairly to even finish; to try to take a short cut will only set you back, and cause you to lose even what you have now.

So do not think that the whole think positive Law of Attraction will instantly turn your life from hell to heaven overnight, it will not. It will work for you if you use it; although you have to use it wisely. It takes at least 18 years to turn an embryo into an adult human; during that time that human became a person. If that person is unsatisfied with their life it will take effort, time, and conscious thought to create the life that is desired. It may well take far less time than becoming an adult did, but it still takes time.

You can only have what you are worthy of. You can not buy a piano and expect to perform at the master level in Carnegie Hall the next day. You will have to learn and practice until one day you are ready, then you will be worthy of the applause you will receive as well as the satisfaction. If you use the Law of Attraction correctly the teachers, music, and opportunity will present themselves to you with minimal effort, but you must accept what is given and use it as the time is correct.

Remember this; be careful of what you wish for, as you will get it.

Future of Biometrics in Banking & Financial Services

The financial sector is in the process of change by the new forms of communication available in the market. Trends like fingerprint scanner are gaining increasing strength in the financial landscape, causing banks to bet on the integration of all possible channels of communication to satisfies the demands of the client. The authentication of the client and the protection of their identity are one of the most current issues in the banking sector. Faced with security challenges, banks and financial organizations are increasingly considering the incorporation of biometric technology in their platforms.

Biometrics is based on unique physical characteristics (heart rate, blood characteristics such as pressure, protein level, cholesterol, among other behaviors) and behavioral characteristics. Historically, fingerprint recognition has been the preferred choice in the financial sector.

Over time, the biometric security system is likely to replace personal identification numbers (PINs) for ATM security and other scenarios. This change in the market is occurring faster than initially anticipated, with global biometric bank banking revenue expectations of up to $ 4 billion by 2021.

The wide adoption of mobile equipment with integrated biometric system allows the evolution of biometrics in the banking industry. More and more smartphones and tablets are equipped with biometric scanners for the authentication process inside a mobile banking platform. To cite one example, credit card customers can authenticate payments online by scanning their fingerprints or by a selfie. In this way, users are already prepared for biometric authentication in mobile banking and ATMs.

In relation to Online Banking, there is a greater use of biometric devices to capture Unique Identities at the beginning of the contact. Based on national identity programs, banks use identity credentials extracted from identity cards to provide strong authentication for client transactions. Also, facial biometrics is another tool that allows the digitization of financial activities. Through it, users can verify their identity and conduct banking transactions online. It is a solution that is easy to implement and use, both for the bank and for the mobile banking user, enabling the client to have secure access to the system from a computer or smartphone or with a video camera.

The adoption of mobile banking is booming in the country, while fingerprint biometric identification at ATMs is still in an incipient stage.

Banks are digitizing their operations gradually and responding to the needs of users, who benefit from not having to memorize countless passwords to be able to carry out banking transactions.

The biometric solutions represent, then, a turning point for the security of the banks. In the finance industry, implementing biometric authentication methods is critical to building trust in customers and raising the level of protection in banking transactions. The adoption of biometric technology by banks enhances the end user experience and helps to resist fraud and identity abuse.

The Top 5 Things To Consider When Shopping For A Wireless Mobile Cell Phone Service Provider

Technology is being innovated and implemented faster than we can keep up! This is a major reason why consumers are constantly looking for better deals and better technology from their wireless mobile cell phone service provider. As the technology grows up, the pricing of obsoleste and older technology goes down. Therefore a constant turnover of customers and accounts is expected. When upgrading your phone or switching service providers, one should definitely do some research to find the best deals and technology.

So you are looking to upgrade your current wireless plan, or you are considering switching your service to a different wireless provider. Here are the top 5 things that you should consider before you make the move to change your mobile cell phone plan:

1. Contract or No Contract - All of the major cell phone service providers in the US offer their version of contract and no contract plans. It is important to decide which option is right for your particular situation. A contract plan usually usually last for 2 years. When purchasing a 2 year contract plan, the major wireless carriers will typically offer a brand new cell phone for free in exchange for the 2 years of service that you are promising to fulfill. The price of the "free" phone is calculated into the service plan, and you end up paying for the phone anyways. This option is superior if you need a new phone right away. The other option is to go with a no contact plan. When going with a no contract plan, the wireless carrier does not usually offer extravagant deals on new cellular devices. Long story short, you end up paying almost full price for your wireless mobile cell phone. There are a handful of companies out there that will allow you to bring your own device to a contract wireless service plan. Bringing your own device will allow you to take advantage of the lower pricing of a no contract plan without having to buy a phone.

2. Coverage Map - It is very important to look at the service coverage maps from each of the different companies that you are looking at. There is no reason to go with a company that is going to give you a killer deal on a plan and a mobile cell phone when you are not going to be able to take full advantage of the service coverage area. Cell phones really are not of any good use when there is no service, or the service is weak and intermittent.

3. Data Speeds - There are now dozens of cellular networks that traverse the country, and many of them offer high speed data capabilities to the service coverage area. These networks consist of 3G, 4G, and LTE. It is very important that you take a peek at what networks each service provider is using, and to check the availability of these networks in your area. It is also a very good idea to check network data capability with the wireless mobile phone phone that you are using. For example, an iPhone 3GS is not going to be capable of using the high speed LTE data network because it is an older phone and is not engineered to use the newer and faster data networks.

4. Unlimited Everything Plan - Most people gravitate toward a plan that includes unlimited talk, text and data because they are using their cell phones very often. However, most people do not really pay attention to their actual usage, and they could possibly be leaving a bunch of money on the table. Before deciding on a brand new unlimited everything plan, take a look at a recent wireless phone bill and see exactly how much talk, text, and data you are actually using. Then compare these numbers to the new plan that you are looking at at see if you really need to pay all that money for a truly unlimited plan. You might actually be surprised as to how little you use the services that are paid to be unlimited.

5. Customer Service - Last, but not least, one should do some research on the service providers themselves in order to see what kind of customer service these companies are offering. It is never any fun to have a problem with your wireless service provider, and it is a lot less fun to have to call them only to find out that no one in their call center speaks your native language, and they do not really have a good idea about how to help resolve your issues. Poor customer service can be a real deal breaker! Take some time to look at a company's track record, do a few Google searches and take a look at aful of genuine customer reviews.

Shopping for a wireless mobile cell phone service provider looks like a pretty cut and dry process on the surface, but there can be a lot of variables that will apply differently to each personal situation. When you are ready to switch service providers or upgrade your plan, I recommend taking the time to do the due diligence and find the one that works best for your situation and your location. There can be a lot of monetary savings coming back to you if you can find a service plan that is tailor to you and your personal usage.

Choosing the Best Dance Studio

With the expense and time commitment involved in learning to dance, it's important to take the time to explore your options thoroughly as you try to find the best dance studio. Delve into the details of any company you consider to find one that best fits your style and budget.

Observe Student Technique

Visit the school to observe some classes. A ballet technique class of older dancers is an ideal class for observation. Watch how the pupils perform and have during the class. Whether or not you have ballet experience yourself, you should see serious professionalism among the students. A dance studio that prioritizes technique and dedication to the art will carry through to its students.

Analyze the Facility Structure

The structure of the dance studio is also an important indicator of quality. The facility should set a dress code for attendees with strict adherence by everyone. Classes should be divided carefully by level and curriculum to allow students to focus on and learn various aspects of the art. This division enables pupils to advance in a logical sequence through the program.

As you perform this analysis, cast a glance around the physical structure of the facility. Optimally, it should appear spacious, clean, light, safe, and inviting. In viewing the facility through a pupil's eyes, it should feel like a positive place to learn.

Investigate Class Offerings

Review the class offers to determine the learning opportunities and the schedule. Often, courses will occur once per week. Optimally, pupils will need to test for placement instead of the facility simply placing students together based on age. This will ensure that classes contain pupils of similar abilities, which usually advances learning. Ask about performances and recitals. Recitals offer dancers important opportunities for performing in front of an audience.

Check Teacher Credentials

Teacher credentials are an important detail to consider. The teachers on staff should have proper training and professional experience that qualifies them to teach students at a dance studio. Educators should have specific training within the genre they are teaching. Image degrees and experience are beneficial. Staff with hands-on experience with children is also a plus. Ask for the teachers' background information so you can review their qualifications yourself.

Ask Pertinent Questions

A number of pertinent questions will give you more information to enable you to make a final decision.

1. Are auditions necessary for placement?
2. How does the staff assessment students in a placement exam?
3. What ballet method is used for traditional ballet?
4. What modern methods are utilized?
5. Where does the institute typically start beginners?
6. How quickly do pupils progress?
7. What is the typical age for pupils progressing to pointe?
8. What type of flooring do you have?
9. When does serious instruction typically begin for participants?
10. Can students cross train in a multitude of styles and disciplines?
11. Is competition a part of the program?

After careful assessment and review, you can find a reputable dance studio to provide instruction in the arts for your child.
