What Is Life Insurance?

by escapedtowisconsin

What Is Life Insurance?

The very reason why you continue to strive and earn a living is because of this: Love. When you love someone, be it your wife, husband or children you always think about what would be the best for them. You want to give them the best that life has to offer. Yet sometimes, things won’t happen the way you would want them to be. Especially if it would mean that you would leave them behind. If that time comes, you want to make sure that everything else would be okay for those that you’ll leave behind.

Have you ever asked yourself this question? If I die, what would happen to my family? Will they be able to cope up with life’s hardships? The answer, one thing is for sure. Life will still go on for them no matter how painful, no matter how bitter it may seem. Yet, you can make it easier and simpler for them. How? By having life insurance, your family and loved ones will be able to go through life’s financial difficulties with ease.

What exactly is life insurance? Life insurance is a type of insurance that pays money when the insured person in the policy dies. It is a contract between the person insured and the insurance company where the insurance provider would pay a certain amount of money to the beneficiaries of the insured person so long as the insured person’s premium are current and up to date.

The next question you might be asking next is, do I need insurance? Usually people with families and loved ones that they want to provide comfort when sudden situations or emergencies arise would say yes. Having life insurance is a form of relief from financial troubles when a major turn around in life takes place. You may think that life insurance is for old people who would have the tendency to use it more than the younger generation does. Unfortunately, accidents and sickness that eventually leads to death can happen at any point in life regardless of age.

The reason why people need life insurance is to care for your loved one when your partner or loved one dies. Life insurance is a way of continuing support and care for your loved ones left behind, making the financial difficulties of living without you a little easier to handle. Life insurance is not only for those people who have families to take care of. Even single people should have life insurance as it would ensure that all your expenses in connection with hospital and burial are well handled. Having beneficiaries doesn’t mean they have to be blood relatives. Beneficiaries can be your best friend or even a charitable institution. 

As well, there are certain types of life insurance that carry a cash value. This type provides you with a valuable asset that can be used as a bond on loans or even against the policy itself when the need arises. There will be times in your life that having a cash value in your life insurance would be a great help to tide you over during these hard times.

There are four basic types of life insurance. They are term life insurance, whole life insurance, universal life insurance and variable life insurance. Familiarizing yourself with these four types would let you choose the best type of policy for you.

Term life insurance is a direct or clear-cut type of policy. This type of coverage lets you pay for a specific period of time. During that particular period, any beneficiary you choose will receive the benefits of your policy when you die. There are subcategories that fall under term life insurance. An example is you have the option to renew your policy every year.

However, since the price of the policy and premiums may go up higher every year as you get older, you may want to choose the guaranteed level term life policy. As this type of policy would have the same price range from 5 to 30 years depending on what you choose. There is also another type of term life policy called return of premium life insurance or ROP. This type of policy would pay you at the end of the term, provided you are still alive. Upon your death, the term of the funds will go to your chosen beneficiary.

Whole life insurance is another type of insurance that you may want to check out. As the name suggests, it covers you for your whole life instead of a specific term only. Although a whole life insurance policy would cost more than term life policies, the investment power and coverage are more attractive to some insurance shoppers.

Universal life coverage is when an insured can add a preferred amount to the minimum price o the premium.  The insurance company in return would invest the money with returns that are put back into the premiums or can also be left to build up. A subcategory of universal life insurance is universal variable life that gives the insurer to choose what they want to invest in rather than the insurance company deciding for them.

Variable life insurance coverage gives you more opportunities to invest including stocks. This policy is similar to universal life coverage because the returns are either used towards your premium payments or allowed to add up in an account. Your beneficiary will either receive the value of the policy, or the value of the policy in addition to a portion of, or the full cash investment returns account.

Remember, life insurance policies should offer you protection and security to you and your family as well as provide ease of mind and comfort when you need it. To choose the best type for you, always speak with a reputable insurance agent or provider that would answer any queries you may have.

Xtend Life Fish Oil – How Can Xtend Life Fish Oil Benefit One’s Heart?

What Does Fish Oil Do – Health Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids

A healthy diet is the key to keep someone’s heart at bay. But if you really want a total heart booster, you might want to take into account the abundant health benefits from fish. If you are suffering from various conditions, you will find out that this scaly creature really work wonders. Fish oil in particular, is surprisingly beneficial. Fish oil, is of great interest to human beings, because it has been shown to provide a myriad of health benefits. Studies are published almost daily as the scientific community discovers more and more benefits of fish oil. A plethora of research indicates that, not only are fish oil benefits numerous, some of them are really quite extraordinary!

Fish oils can be obtained from eating fish or by taking supplements. Have you heard about the wonders of Omega-3? Fish that are especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids include mackerel, tuna, salmon, sturgeon, mullet, bluefish, anchovy, sardines, herring, trout, and menhaden. Fish oil is a great dietary source of Omega- 3 fatty acids. They provide about 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids in about 3.5 ounces of fish. Fish oil just appears to be the quickest, safest and most effective way to get the essential omega-3 fatty acids that most people require to maintain proper balance. But why do more and more people are getting crazy on acquiring Omega-3?

Studies have proven that getting more omega-3 fats into our diet can tremendously improve both our physical and mental health. EPA and DHA are the two omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. Science has shown that omega-3 fatty acids have cardio-protective benefits and promote a healthy heart. An omega 3 fish oil may also help improve or prevent the following:

- Alzheimer’s disease and dementia
– depression
– heart disease
– cancer
– arthritis
– diabetes
– hyperactivity
– ADHD

It also:

- lowers blood triglyceride levels
– reduces the risk of heart attack
– reduces the risk of dangerous abnormal heart rhythms
– reduces the risk of strokes
– slows the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques
– lowers blood pressure
– reduces stiffness and joint tenderness associated with Rheumatoid arthritis

Needless to say, its health benefits are downright amazing.

It is for those reasons that fish oil supplements are now widely introduced in the market. Even the talk show queen Oprah had mentioned it on her TV show. Taking a fish oil supplement is a great way to get Omega 3 acids, especially if you are not a big fish eater or worry about how much you are actually eating.  However, not all fish oil supplements are the same, some can even be dangerous.  That’s why it’s important to know how to choose best quality omega 3 fish oil supplement.  Deciding on which brand of fish oil supplements to buy can be very confusing with so many brands from which to choose. What makes this even worse is that a lot of marketers try to deceive potential consumers into buying their products by pouring a lot of money into major advertising campaigns appealing to your pockets.

I am sure you would like to see whether the brand you choose will actually get you more value for your money, right? Why not try Xtend life fish oil supplement? Unlike other brands, DHA is its key ingredient so you will probably not go wrong with this brand. Plus, you can count on the quality of fish that they use in their product. Their highly recommended fish oil is a molecularly distilled omega 3 supplement. It is Hoki fish oil acquired from fish in the pristine waters in the Southern Ocean area around New Zealand. The hoki fish, to give you a little background, is the most effective when it comes to inhibiting inflammation. It also has high levels of purity and freshness. Amazing isn’t it? If you want to get maximum health benefits you should only choose the best when you buy fish oil.

Visit http://fishoilsupplementsguide.com/xtend-life-omega-3-fish-oil-supplements or http://fishoilsupplementsguide.com/ for a comprehensive report on Xtend life fish oil.

Krill Oil is superior to fish oil because it contains phospholipids, antioxidants ( more than 47 times the levels found in fish oil!), and omega-3′s bonded together in a way that keeps them safe from oxidation, and makes them easily absorbed in your body.

Book Review: the Life of Daniel Boone by Lyman C. Draper, Edited by Ted Franklin Belue

by cproppe

Book Review: the Life of Daniel Boone by Lyman C. Draper, Edited by Ted Franklin Belue

THE LIFE OF DANIEL BOONE, published by Stackpole Books, 1998, is a unique book about an eighteenth century explorer, written by a nineteenth century biographer, and edited by a twentieth century author. How does it come off? Not too bad! In fact, this is probably the most authoritative account of the renowned frontiersman we will ever see.

I have a special interest in the subject. Daniel Boone is my great, great, great, great grandfather. No, I won’t bore you with my own genealogy. Suffice it to say, I descended through Jesse Bryan Boone, Daniel’s eighth child, who died the same year as Daniel — 1820.

Including notes and index, THE LIFE OF DANIEL BOONE is a large volume totaling 596 pages. And those pages are loaded with rather small print plus drawings and maps. But don’t let that discourage you from taking a peek at this one of a kind work.

If you would like a quick summary of the book, read the Preface. In eighteen pages, Belue appraises the character of Daniel Boone, what he did, and what he thought of his own fame. We discover Boone was a skilled woodsman, hunter, trapper, explorer, scout, militia commander, judge, and county representative. And he was a natural leader.

In his introduction, Ted Belue describes him as: “charismatic, quiet, even-tempered, and rarely willing to utter criticism even of those who opposed him. Boone’s genteel ways were the sort that universally garner respect and attract.” That plus his lack of guile and a sense of honor earned Daniel Boone a solid reputation.

But what did he think of himself? Belue quotes Boone’s own words: “Many heroic exploits and chivalrous adventures are related to me which exist only in the regions of fancy. With me the world has taken great liberties, and yet I have been but a common man. It is true that I have suffered many hardships and miraculously escaped many perils, but others of my companions have experienced the same.”

Daniel Boone was modest. He comes across as a good man, one we would like to have on our side in a crisis.

Next we turn to the chronicler of information on Boone and his times. The self-appointed biographer, Dr. Lyman C. Draper, born September 4, 1815, showed exceptional insight for his day. Nineteenth century storytellers had no qualms at all mixing fantasy with truth. If it spiced up the story, a good myth even seemed preferred over mundane facts.

Against this concoction of history and legend stood Draper with his grand vision of saving facts from oblivion. While the evidence was still available, and the people who remembered the events were still living, he wanted to separate fact from myth, correct misconceptions, and get as close as possible to the truth about frontier history.

In his youth, Draper selected twenty subjects to save from mythology. Besides Daniel Boone, other subjects meriting Draper’s attention included George Clark, Anthony Wayne, Daniel Morgan, and Dunmore’s War.

From 1843 to 1852, Draper traveled the trails Boone had explored, seeking interviews and gathering data on the frontiersman. But the project never turned into a book. He died in 1891 lamenting he had not finished the “Life of Daniel Boone.” Since 1854, Draper’s manuscript remained in the archives of the State National Society of Wisconsin.

In 1990, historian Ted Franklin Belue decided that Draper’s huge manuscript, rich in details of Boone and frontier life, should be available to the public. Thus the book began.

Belue presents Draper’s work much as it was left by the biographer nearly one and a half centuries earlier. Belue’s changes to Draper’s transcript were minor. He eliminated excess commas and made military titles and abbreviations consistent with modern usage.

Belue wrote the introduction and provided us with a series of notes at the end of each chapter following Draper’s original notes. The editor concluded his introduction by reminding us that what we are holding in our hands had been hidden away since 1854. “Read it. Savor it. Take time to get to know Lyman Draper, his methods, his point of view, the tenor of his times, and his man, Daniel Boone.”

Good advice. But to that I might add, there are three men in this book who are best understood in the context of their times: Boone, Draper, and Belue. Of the three, Boone is by far the most straightforward. Simply put, he was an adventurer who couldn’t rest until he saw what lay beyond the next hill. His life was an ongoing search for Eden, an unspoiled hunter’s paradise.

In Kentucky, he found much of what he was seeking. But civilization, which he himself helped usher in, quickly ruined what he considered most appealing. So off he went in search of a new unblemished wilderness.

The real Daniel Boone was a man of courage, skill, and good fortune who nevertheless suffered much over his 85 years. He was no Fess Parker. He wasn’t a big man. He killed few Indians and despised those who attempted to portray him as a fearless Indian-killer.

Occasionally we are struck with the quaintness of the times. Sentimentality, not “cool,” was the predominant mood of the eighteenth century. Here’s a prime example. When Boone led a party of men from Boonesborough, they managed to rescue his own daughter, Jemima, and two other girls from a combined force of Shawanoes and Cherokees.

How did Boone propose to celebrate the event? He said: “Thank Almighty Providence, boys, we have the girls safe — let us all sit down and have a hearty cry.” And they did! That direct quote somehow never made the Daniel Boone TV series.

Now let’s consider the compiler of information, Dr. Draper. What should I say about this mother lode of facts and opinions, and what should I leave for you to discover for yourself? I will limit myself to three observations.

Draper’s style will certainly catch your attention. A few pages of Draper comes across as quaint and charming. Then again, several hundred pages of him is downright tedious. For modern tastes, it’s a bit too much: too wordy, too flowery, and too sentimental. But wasn’t that typical for the period? Yes, I believe it was.

Draper reflected his time in other ways too. The mood of the mid-nineteenth century was a positive one. They were as assured of themselves, their culture, and their values as we are uncertain of ours in the early twenty-first century

.

Dr. Draper championed Manifest Destiny. Anglo-Americans were marching westward taking their civilization in tow. At times Draper seems to be more of a cheerleader than a historian. But, as Belue points out, Draper never had a historian’s perspective. He couldn’t distinguish the trivial from the significant. So his notes are full of minute details of no particular interest.

Despite all of his faults, Draper preserved much of historical interest which would be lost without his efforts. That is his real contribution. Unfortunately, he never did get around to exploring Daniel Boone’s latter years. This entire volume is dedicated to the first half of Boone’s life.

Belue, unlike Draper, is a historian. By and large, he displays the objectivity and evenhandedness that Draper lacked in his manuscript. But is one major respect Belue reveals that he too is a man of his day.

The term “American Indians” has now been changed to the politically correct term “Native Americans.” Belue is numbered among those who believe what Caucasians did to Native Americans was morally reprehensible. What Belue espouses is, in effect a moralistic view of history.

Our question for Mr. Belue is: How did those Indians tribes obtain their lands? Well, they acquired them by driving off, killing, or assimilating other tribes who had the land before them, as they had in turn done to those who preceded them.

The history of Britain was no different. Picts lost their land to the Celts, who in turn were driven away by Anglo-Saxons, who in turn were conquered by the Normans. Larger tribes, more aggressive people displaced others and took their territory. What Anglo-Americans did to Native Americans is what mankind has been doing to each other throughout recorded history — no more, no less.

Draper’s manuscript details deceptions and atrocities committed by both sides, as well as acts of friendship and good will offered by both. Here Draper appears to be objective. Belue agrees.

A couple of centuries after the events, it is easy for us to lob criticism at the frontier settlers. After all, they won, didn’t they? But what were those eighteenth century settlers really like? What were the eighteenth century Indians like? This book, the most authoritative document we have for this period, opens our eyes to the timbre of the day. Before condemning the settlers, perhaps we should ask ourselves: if you and I were in constant peril, how altruistic would we be?

The LIFE OF DANIEL BOONE is a book worth reading. This volume is our passport back to the eighteenth century frontier America. It’s a time of great beauty and danger, unbelievable opportunity and hardship, plus numerous acts of courage, savagery, and cowardice. It is an exciting period. See for yourself.

Puppets — Adding Humor And Laughter To Your Life

Kids love to play with puppets as it allows them to set free their creative imagination. Puppets can bring great joy not only to kids, but also to adults, all over the world.

Puppets were first introduced to the world of entertainment thousands of years ago. It originated from Greece as the Greeks then were known to be fond of theatrical presentations. Though they enjoyed theater, they found supporting the actors financially rather expensive, so that they turned to the use of puppets in plays. They soon discovered that puppets were just as able as actors to elicit positive response from the audience, so they continued to patronize the use of puppets in puppet shows and presentations, and soon stage puppet shows became many people’s favorite past time.

Today, puppets and puppet shows have come far from their humble beginnings and still continue to be popular. Many puppets are patterned after animals such as frogs, elephants and birds. Every puppet used on stage has a distinct characteristic and personality. The differing personality is expressed not only by the puppet’s design but also by its individual body movements as expressed by the puppeteer’s hand movement.

Puppet performing it is not as easy as you think. It requires thorough and consistent practice before you can become an expert. A puppeteer needs to study different techniques such as the basic positioning, diction, arm rods and body movements.

The most common type of hand puppets is the simple hand puppet and the larger hand puppet. Each of the puppets has their distinct usage in puppet shows.

The simple hand puppets have few or no moving parts at all. They are usually made up of flexible materials and have distinct facial features such as eyes and nose. The mouth is often included on the simple hand puppets but it is usually there just for design purposes. It does not even open or close unless a thumb enters a pocket allowing it to move.

Larger hand puppets are more complex. Other than obviously being bigger in size than the simple hand puppets, they have additional manipulatable parts such as the eyelids and hinged mouth and arms.

Aside from providing amusement and fun, puppets nowadays have taken a political turn and are also used in thinly veiled political caricatures and satire. These political puppets are often modeled on known political personalities and are often depicted in the characters’ usual political setting.

Whatever the size or the design, puppets and puppet shows today still provide wonderful entertainment to many people of all ages.

Buying Life Insurance After Being Diagnosed With Cancer

Buying Life Insurance After Being Diagnosed With Cancer

The American Cancer Society estimates doctors will diagnose over 1.4 million new cases of cancer in the U.S. in 2007, with more than 559,650 cancer-related deaths. If you are among the majority of cancer patients and survive for at least five years following your diagnosis, you may face another fight: buying life insurance.

Buying life insurance for cancer patients is challenging, but not necessarily impossible. Your chances for securing a policy depend greatly on the type, stage and grade of the cancer, and even on the treatment plan. There is a relationship between the rate you’ll receive and the curability of your cancer. Certain types of skin cancer, for example, are considered very low risk by life insurance companies and a skin cancer history may not even impact premiums.

Applicants with common and treatable forms of breast and prostate cancer may be able to get a “standard” rating under ideal circumstances. But patients with a history of leukemia or colon cancer may fall into a “substandard” or “high substandard” rating at best, or receive declines. Anyone with cancer that has metastasized likely won’t be able to obtain a policy.

Dr. Charles Levy, senior vice president and chief medical director of AIG American General Domestic Life Insurance Cos., says, “We’re better and better able to differentiate the risks of individual cancers.” Life insurers like AIG American General have sophisticated tables to determine premiums, where they can factor in cancer types and treatments. The end result is better premiums because applicants aren’t lumped together as an “average.”

Most insurers will not offer a policy to someone who is still undergoing treatment for cancer. Depending on your type of cancer, the life insurer may also want to add a surcharge, also called a temporary flat extra. For example, AIG American General sometimes charges temporary flat extras for two to five years, depending on the applicant’s cancer and treatment. The good news is that although these extra premiums can be expensive, they will automatically disappear after a set period of time.

Cancer insurance risk specialists

While a dedicated life insurance agent will search cancer insurance companies to find insurers that will sell you a life insurance policy, in some cases you may be better off seeking out a broker who specializes in finding life insurance for people who have a history of cancer.

These brokers will know the specific questions underwriters will want answered when considering your application. Many brokers have developed relationships with several insurers, so they know which companies offer the best-priced life insurance policies for cancer survivors. Some brokers have experts who specialize in gathering your medical records and organizing them.

By directing your application to life insurers that will view your application most favorably, these brokers will help you find the most accurate price quotes and the lowest premiums for life insurance. Always check the financial strength of the insurer before you buy any policy and be sure that the agent or broker you choose is licensed in your state.

Life insurance strategies for cancer survivors

If you are a healthy cancer survivor, life insurance is even more feasible. There are things you can do to ensure you’re getting the best premium offers possible for your situation.

1. Gather all possible medical records before you apply, from the first pathology report to medical records to treatment records. That ensures medical underwriters have the most complete picture of you, your health, and your cancer history. Having all those records before you apply for cancer insurance will reduce delays in your application process, because your life insurer is going to request them and will wait for them. The information you provide can garner you better premiums in the end: The less life insurer underwriters knows about you, the more likely they are to have to assume you are the highest risk and offer you high premiums accordingly. According to Levy, “If it’s fuzzy, we’re more likely to err on the side of conservatism.”

2. Make sure you have complied with your doctor’s treatment plans. For example, says Levy, if your doctor asked to see you back in one year and you haven’t been back in four years, get to your doctor for your check-up before you apply for life insurance. Your life insurer is not going to offer you a policy without before seeing the results of that check-up. Similarly, if you’ve had breast cancer and you’re due for a mammogram in December and you apply for cancer insurance in October, your life insurer will likely wait for the results of your next mammogram.

3. Get prices from several companies. Policy costs can vary a great deal among companies.

4. See if you can get group life insurance through a professional, fraternal, membership, or political organization to which you belong.

5. Consider a “graded” policy (one with limited benefits) if you cannot get full death benefits. In the first few years of a graded policy, the company pays only the premiums and part of the face value if the insured person dies of a condition, such as cancer, that existed before the policy took effect. If the insured person dies after the specified grading-in period, the company will pay the full face amount of the policy.

If your cancer has been successfully treated, and you are otherwise in good health, you can likely obtain a cancer life insurance policy. If you can show that you are healthy and your treatments have gone well, several insurers may compete for your business.
