There were a whole host of different and varied sports cars and even motorcycles that arrived in the US after World War II. To this day their very names elucidate a passion among enthusiasts – be it Triumph, MG, Austin-Cooper, Lotus, Austin-Healey, Mini-Cooper or in the world of British motorcycles –BSA, Norton, Greeves and Triumph bikes. However in the eyes of many sports cars the original Jaguar roadster was “it”.

It can be said and noted that the Jaguar Automotive Company had over time and previous to the War (World War II 1939-1945), had built sports roadsters previously. Indeed Jaguar had carved out a name and reputation with these products especially the Jaguar Roadster SS-100. However things being what they were economically after the war , with the home market for such premium vehicles being very small indeed if not non existent , the export market especially to the United States – the USA as well as the smaller but emerging automotive sports market of Canada.

To this purpose both Jaguar’s engineering staff – with the chief engineer at the helm as well as innovative indeed daring new styling , with one of Jaguar’s co-founders being in charge of the styling end.

What resulted was an impressive engine which developed peak power at a then relatively high 5,000 r.p.m. cycle (revolutions per minute). In addition a feature which was at that point in time only found on a limited number of high end racing cars and certainly not production vehicles. This mechanical feature of great merit and power to auto engine performance – was the introduction of double overhead camshafts. The specs of the post war Jaguar engine itself was a

With the financial markets continuing to plummet, you may be hesitant about investing your hard-earned money in stocks. Whether buying stocks for the long-term or engaging in day trading, there is no guarantee that the dollars used for stock shares will ever make you a profit- or even be returned. Stories abound of individuals who played the stock market because of a hot tip from a friend- only to end up losing everything they owned.

Unless you have extra money that you will not need for the next 10-20 years, and whose potential loss you can allow, your best choice in terms of making a safe investment is to place your money in a bank. Many individuals take this to mean opening an interest-bearing savings account; this is certainly one of the many ways you can invest your money.

Putting your money in a savings account ensures that that it will still be there tomorrow, the week after, and even ten years from now. Also, the longer you keep your money in a savings account, the more interest you accrue. Interest is also paid on the interest that the bank previously paid out.

For example, if you invest $20,000 in a savings account paying 3% interest, after one year goes by you will have accrued $600 in interest. If you do not remove the initial $20,000 or the additional $600, the next year you will receive another $600, plus an extra $18. Compare this with stocks, some of which have dropped below 90% of their original value!

What if your bank is forced to close? Unlike the stock market, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insures at least the first $100,000 in each account. So, if your bank collapses, the United States Federal Government will guarantee that you receive your money back.

You may also set up a checking account, which offers the convenience of instant access to your money via checks. Instead of going to your bank and making a monetary withdrawal every time you need to pay a bill, you can just write out a check from your checking account. Alternatively, you may set up an instant pay program for many of your monthly utility and other bills, ensuring peace of mind that you have not forgotten to pay a credit card or other statement.

If you are interested in obtaining as much interest as possible from your cash, consider opening a money market account. Like a savings account, a money market account pays interest on the money you invest. However, the interest rate will be much higher than that of a savings account. Generally, money market accounts require a higher initial investment.

If you do not have the amount of money needed to open a money market account, a Certificate of Deposit (CD) is another good way to earn high interest. CDs yield as much, and sometimes even more, interest, than money market accounts. The money invested in a CD must not be withdrawn for a certain time, however; otherwise, there is a penalty for early withdrawal. CD maturities (the time during which money cannot be withdrawn) vary: some are as short as 6 months, while others last 10 years or more.Invest in a secure bank in Minnesota that specializes in personal and business banking solutions, including personal checking accounts in MN, savings accounts, credit cards, loans, certificates of deposit, and insurance.

When considering dental insurance one of the most popular plans nowadays, especially for people with a history of dental problems who may need regular treatment, is the capitation plan.

If you decide that this is what you want to do, your dentist will calculate the monthly premium that you will pay based on an oral health check and costs of running the surgery. Also, there will usually be an initial examination fee included in a comprehensive scheme and because you pay directly to the dentist prices may differ from dentist to dentist as there are no standard fees. The monthly payment is the same each month and will cover you for any treatment that you may require regardless of the cost.

There are two types of capitation plan; one is a maintenance plan and covers basic accidental or emergency treatment and standard maintenance, and the other is comprehensive which will cover more complicated procedures such as extractions or fillings.

There are mixed reports on these plans – those who are in favour say that the dentist is able to spend more time with their patients, and those who are not enamored are of the opinion that patients are almost strong-armed into these schemes so that dentists can optimise the earning potential of their private dental surgeries.

As we said earlier, capitation plans are most suitable for those who know that they will need a fair amount of dental care and it enables them to spread the cost of paying for it rather than having to pay rather large bills whenever any work is done.

Below we explain in more detail the different types of cover and the difference in their price structures and there is often mandatory insurance included for hospital benefits and oral cancer and dental accident or emergency.

Maintenance Plan – With a maintenance plan it is fairly standard to be covered for two examinations and two oral hygiene checks which includes X-rays each year.

The cost of this per month is around ten to fifteen pounds – you are not required to have an initial examination and you get discounts on any other procedures that you may need and may also include an initial registration fee.

Comprehensive Plan – A comprehensive plan generally offers unlimited treatment and includes examinations, hygiene checks, root canal and extraction, crowns, fillings bridges and X-rays.

Your monthly premium is calculated on your oral health and is usually between ten and fourteen pounds. If you have fairly good oral hygiene you could pay below twenty pounds per month. An initial registration fee may or may not be included depending on individual practices.

It would be prudent to have some kind of dental cover even for peace of mind with the ever decreasing numbers of NHS dentists. If you have got problem teeth then it would be fair to say that it is essential cover to have and can work out to be cost effective.

If you want to find a plan that is suitable for you the best action is to find an online broker who can search the whole market for you and find you the best deals so that you can compare them, and the cover that they give, so you can find a policy that is suitable for you.Michael Challiner is the editor of Brokers Online, one of the UK’s largest financial websites.

The government led reform of the dental industry is history now. It appears that things are very much simpler for both High Street dentists and their patients since the changes. The dentists have simply disappeared – they’ve either changed to completely private practice, reduced the amount of NHS patients on their books or their waiting list is so long it’s virtually impossible to register with them. The simplicity for patients is that many simply can’t find an NHS dentist.

For those who still have their NHS dentist, the higher cap on the charges for the most complicated treatments have been welcomed, although some charges for the more minor treatments now cost more than previously.

It’s not easy to find a dentist willing to take you on – it’s estimated that the shortage of them in the UK could be as high as 4,000 and rising.

The Governments confidence in their belief that the new agreements would have meant that an increasing number of dentists would stay in the NHS appears to have been wrongly placed. The misgivings of the British Dental Association – who felt that more than half of dentists would lessen their commitment or even leave the health service when the contracts came in – seem to have been correct.

So, it can be an expensive time when you need a trip to the dentist. You have to keep up to date on your check ups too – go 15 months without a visit and the dentist has the right to take you off their patient list.

Lots of people are turning to other ways of ensuring their dental care is kept up to date and there are several different private dental care schemes on offer.

The plan that comes to mind when you think of private dental care is the one which is featured in many dentists waiting rooms. It’s known as a “capitation” scheme and is a payment plan which is offered via your dentist. It’s not actually dental insurance – more on that later – but more a way of letting you budget for preventative care and routine dental procedures.

Your dentist will examine the state of your mouth to assess the condition and also take into account your previous dental history. It will be necessary to have any outstanding dental work carried out so that you start the plan with a clean bill of dental health. After this is complete you’re ready to go and the plan provider will work out a cost, normally paid monthly, for you to join them.

There are variations on the cover, within whatever plan you choose, and some are more inclusive than others. A simple care plan will cover things like fillings, bridges, crowns, oral hygiene and any x rays that are needed. The only parts of the deal not covered are laboratory costs. The plan usually has an insurance element included which will cover serious dental problems and is there for dental emergencies.Michael Challiner is the editor of Brokers Online one of the UK’s largest financial websites.

America’s finances are in turmoil. The personal economies of many individual Americans’ and their families are on the precipice of a disastrous failure. Few families have a personal plan to help them meet these financial challenges, and they need your help! Opportunities abound for insurance agents, financial advisors and financial planners who understand their problems and hold the solutions in their minds and hearts. You can draw these Americans back from the brink of financial failure!

But, how are you going to attract these people to you?

Don’t Believe All Of The Doom and Gloom!

Twenty-six years ago, when I first got started in this business, the United States was in the midst of a severe economic recession, much worse than it currently is today. In December of 1982, the U.S. unemployment rate had reached 10.8%, higher than at any time in the post-war era. Job cutbacks were particularly severe in housing, steel and automobiles. Twelve million people were unemployed, an increase of 4.2 million people, since July 1981.

By mid-1982, the number of bank failures was rising steadily. Bank failures reached a post-depression high of 42 as the recession and high interest rates took their toll. In 1983, another 49 banks failed, easily beating the Great Depression record of 43 failures set in 1940. And, the FDIC listed another 540 banks as “problem banks” on the verge of failure. In 1984, the Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company, the nation’s seventh-largest bank (with $45 billion in assets), failed.

Between 1980 and 1983, 118 S&Ls with $43 billion in assets failed. The FSLIC, the federal agency which insured the deposits of S&Ls, spent $3.5 billion to make depositors whole again. The FSLIC pushed mergers as a way to avoid insolvency. From 1980 to 1982, there were 493 voluntary mergers and 259 forced mergers of savings and loans overseen by the agency. Despite these failures and mergers, there were still 415 S&Ls at the end of 1982 that were insolvent.

During the 1982 recession, unemployment reached twelve million, the highest rate since the Depression; 17,000 businesses failed, the second highest number since 1933; farmers lost their land; and many sick, elderly, and poor became homeless.

Economic recessions in the U.S., and throughout the world, aren’t something new. They are a fact of life. We’ve experienced many recessions through the years in the U.S., the last being in 1990. As a country we’ve survived each time, and we’ll survive this one. The question isn’t whether you’ll survive; it’s whether or not you’ll prosper in your business?

Revealed… The Secret To Your Prosperity In Today’s Economy!

Fortunately for me, in 1982, in spite of being in the worst recession since the ‘Great Depression’ of 1929, I was able to lead my office in sales, even though I was brand new to the insurance business. What I learned back then that made me successful in personal sales, and has kept me prosperous throughout the years, is that most people (average Middle American families) are struggling financially, and they need and want our help. And, when times are tough financially, these people need and want our help more than ever. I learned that to succeed in this business, during the good and bad times, it’s not about products, investment returns or a revolutionary sales idea. It’s about helping average people to become more secure financially, in their lives.

Understanding What’s Missing In The New Sales Systems!

Many of the ‘supposed’ revolutionary new ideas behind LEAP, Missed Fortune, Infinite Banking, Circle of Wealth, Equity Management and College Funding programs are not revolutionary or even new. They are actually the proven, sound financial principles that the best producers have been using for decades to help people to properly position and use their money, with safety and guarantees, to achieve financial security.

Unfortunately, agents and marketing organizations have bastardized many of these new sales systems and are focusing primarily on selling products and investment returns! These sales systems have been promoted, seen and used by many agents as a way to make quick, large sales. Many times the sale is made, whether it’s in the best interest of the prospect or not! The majority of the people using these systems have lost their focus on how to actually help people to identify, understand and solve their financial problems.

The extremely unfortunate part, for agents, is that some of these systems were developed when the economy was good; so there is very little, if any, sound marketing practices in them. These systems have very little, if any, real marketing to help you get your message out to people about how you can help them to solve their financial problems. They may be great sales ideas or systems, but they have no real marketing to help you attract enough of the right people to you, during the tough economic times.

Consider, when times are good financially, like in the 1990’s when the stock market was soaring and unemployment was low, there will be some people who are ready, willing and able to take chances with their money. These are the people who have the ‘get rich quick’ and/or ‘live for today’ mentality! So, it is easy to attract and set appointments with them, if you have something new and exciting to show them.

However, during the tough economic times, much of the marketing in these systems just stops working, because there are very few people who are ready, willing and able to take chances.

You can survive and prosper during this worsening recession! But, only if you learn how to consistently attract the right people to you! It’s about you learning how to actually help people to identify, understand and solve their financial problems, instead of just trying to make a quick, large sale with your hot, new, revolutionary products or ideas.Claim your free Report “How to Attract & Sell Your Perfect Prospects” at http://www.FastInsuranceSales.com Where you’ll learn how to make 6-figures a year in insurance.

Are you struggling in this worsening economy? Was 2008 a difficult and disappointing year for you? Are you working harder, spending more money on marketing and leads and still not seeing any substantial improvements? Are you making more Cold Calls? Are you constantly searching for a better Source of Leads? Are you looking to get into a Different and Better Market? Or, maybe you are totally frustrated and thinking of getting out of insurance or financial services business altogether.

If you are not getting the results you want, then you have no other choice but to make some changes. If you keep doing the things you’ve always done, won’t you keep getting the results you’ve always gotten?

The question is… What are the best changes for you to make?

Success in this or any business isn’t a matter of luck. And, just hoping that if you find a better source of leads, or get into a different market, or offer a different product, that your sales will automatically change for the better doesn’t make much sense. You have to make things change! And, that means you have to change!

One of the most beneficial and simple changes you can make is to… Learn how to attract more of the ‘Perfect’ prospects to you. And, that begins with deciding who the perfect prospects are for your current products and services. Who do you have the best chance of selling?

As an example: While almost everyone may need life insurance, aren’t there some people who are better prospects than others? In this struggling economy… Who can benefit the most by owning life insurance? Which people have the most to lose? What problems are people currently facing that you can solve for them? How can you use life insurance to solve those problems for those people? Where can you ‘find the money’ for people to afford to buy life insurance they need and want? When should you be contacting those people? Why should those people call you, instead of your competition?

Whether you are selling insurance, annuities, investments or your services, the more you clearly define who you have the best chance of selling and how to attract those people to you, the easier it’s going to be for you to set appointments and close sales in this struggling economy.

Success in sales isn’t simply a matter of luck!

A worrying fact is that a quarter of children are classed as overweight before they are old enough to start school. That figure is one in three by the time they enter secondary school at the age of 11.

Obesity can be related to a range of health problems including diabetes, heart and liver disease and even cancer. In less than a decade since 1999 the number of doctors’ prescriptions for obesity drugs rose from 127,000 to more than a million.

And now the insurance companies are going to make the fatties pay.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the tool used to calculate whether a person is of ‘normal’ proportions, or ‘overweight’, or ‘obese’, which is anyone with a BMI of over 30. This is the figure at which many insurance companies start charging up to 50 per cent higher premiums. In the past a BMI nearer 40 was used, but as it became clear how serious Britain’s obesity problem was, the figure was lowered to 30. However, they might decide to drop lower still, heading closer to the 25 mark where the ‘overweight’ category starts.

If you are obese and also have other high-risk factors such as being a smoker or suffering from certain medical conditions, the increase in the cost of your premiums could soar to a staggering 400 per cent!

An example for 150,000 pounds of life cover for a 55-year old man in good health, who is a non-smoker of normal weight, is about 1,000 pounds a year. Let him become obese and his 25-year policy could cost him 500 pounds more.

Not all insurance companies use the same BMI rate. The second largest insurer, Norwich Union, uses 35 as the figure at which to raise the premium costs, and the third largest, Friends Provident, goes from 33.

Legal & General, Britain’s leading insurer, uses a BMI of 30, and said that 13 per cent of new customers would have to pay the higher premiums.

L&G’s director of underwriting and claims, Russ Whitworth said, “Most people understand that poor diet and lack of exercise can lead to health problems but they might not realise that being significantly overweight would also make their life insurance more expensive.

“Although it is not an exact science, we find that BMI is the best indicator of the risk of being overweight, so it pays to stay in shape.”

The Association of British Insurers backs its members’ decision to charge higher premiums for the obese, claiming that it is no different from charging more for a smoker or somebody with a previous medical condition

Problems could arise for super-fit sportsmen who would have to convince their insurers that their high BMI score is due to building up solid muscle rather than being obese.
It’s no point being economical with the truth when an application form asks for your height and weight. In the event of a claim, the company won’t pay out if it catches you out in a lie.
The Financial Ombudsman Service says it constantly throws out cases where a claim has been rejected for this reason.

Recently a man of 37 claimed on his application to be six foot tall and to weigh 16 stone. When he died of a blood clot five months later it turned out he was only 5 foot nine inches tall and five stone heavier. Needless to say there was no pay out. His premiums would have increased by 275 per cent if his true details had been known, but his claim would have been valid.

The Financial Ombudsman ruled that there was such a difference between what he put on the form and what he actually measured that it couldn’t have been a mistake.

Matt Morris, a policy adviser at specialist financial advisers Life Search, explained, “ In an ideal world, insurers want the healthier clients. There is an element of cherry picking. They don’t want the burden of the heavier client.”

If you are an entrepreneur, a lawyer who has your own practice or are otherwise self-employed, one of the many decisions you must face is selecting what to do about insurance coverage and other perks that your personnel department in a different situation might select for you.

The downside is you are . You also get to have the say as to your coverage.

An optimal insurance and benefits package will protect you in the event you are unable to earn a living because of a medical condition, indemnify your loved ones in the event of an early death. It will also include savings for retirement and medical insurance.

Disability Income Insurance

Income replacement insurance is for many people the least though of lines of insurance. Most people have medical coverage because we fear that we might get ill or have an accident and be forced to pay huge healthcare expenses. For some reason we think less about the fact that we will be unable to make a living. Perhaps we simply prefer not to think about this possibility. But we should. Uninsured disabilities are leading factors in foreclosures. This is important coverage.

Death Protection

Universal life or 1-year term life? The type you buy won’t make any difference to your widow or widower if a claim is made. Only the dollar amount will matter. If you have children or have other people depending on you, you should have a policy.

Long Term Investment

Retirement isn’t a guarantee, but if we are able to avoid dying too early we want to have some income to enjoy life after work. If you fail to plan in this area, there is a good probability that you will wind up with less than you will need.

Long Term Care Coverage

Custodial care and its costs are not often thought of. However, the cost of a custodial care can eat up your savings very quickly. Neither A standard healthcare insurance nor Medicare will pay for custodial care.

Healthcare Coverage

Having the right health care insurance is crucial with the cost of medicine escalating every year. The expense of prescriptions, the price of visiting a physician, the cost of hospital stay and the price of a visit in the emergency room has gone up each and every year. Medicine has gone up much faster than inflation in general and certainly more than the average paycheck in the US. Be sure you have solid protection in this area. Quality coverage does not necessarily mean that you must have first dollar plan. But, it should certainly mean that you have excellent coverage for the major expenses. Medium to high deductible insurance policies very frequently are a good value and provide you coverage for the crucial things.

Dental Insurance

Oral care coverage is important. However, dental care coverage at a rate that is affordable might not be obtainable to you unless you are part of a group. Be aware of the rates, the benefits and the waiting periods before applying for a plan. You might discover that you will make out better when you pay your dentist out of your pocket and keep the cash you would have otherwise spent on insurance.Alston J. Balkcom has been an insurance broker since 1985 you can find information and prices for health insurance for California residents and information on other types of insurance on his site.

Do you consider yourself a law-abiding citizen and a responsible parent? If so then presumably you would never leave your children unsupervised near a swimming pool nor allow your small child to ride his bicycle in peak-hour traffic on a busy highway, nor play with matches or leave firearms within reach of children. And you would never allow a child to travel in a car without wearing a safety belt or properly secured in a car safety seat.

If you can still honestly say that as far as the law or responsibility in considering the safety of your children, you are above reproach, then you are in the minority if you are a South African motorist. According to a recent survey carried out by the AA’s Public Affairs department only 50% of drivers use their safety belts. An even more disturbing finding was that only 20% of passengers buckle up when travelling in a vehicle.

Considering that passenger deaths in children is the fourth leading cause of unnatural deaths in the country, then it stands to reason that according to South African law an adult is guilty of a criminal offence if they allow a child younger than 14 years to travel in a motor vehicle unrestrained. The driver of the vehicle will be arrested and charged with homicide if a child that was unrestrained at the time of an accident, dies as a result of the accident. This is frightening, but not as hair-raising as the fact that there is a 75% chance that a child will die if thrown out of the car when an accident occurs which, according to Professor Sebastian von As of the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, is the case.

On average the Red Cross Children’s Hospital in Cape Town treats 20 children a month for injuries sustained in car accidents. What is shocking is that on average 80% of these children are unrestrained at the time of the accident. Unfortunately this is not surprising considering that according to a study conducted by the AA, only 16% of children on South African roads are properly restrained while travelling as passengers in cars, despite the fact that 338 children under the age of five died in car accidents last year. It is extremely sad to think that the majority of these injuries and deaths could have been prevented if the drivers of the vehicles had ensured that the children were properly restrained while travelling.

On impact an unrestrained 10kg toddler becomes a 300kg human projectile, rocketing forward, either into the dashboard, into the back of the driver’s seat, or worse yet straight through the windscreen. If children or babies are held on the laps of adults and an accident occurs the forces in a crash often make it impossible to hold onto a child and result in the child being ejected from the vehicle or crushed by the adult holding it.
The rear seat is often mistakenly seen as a safe place to be in a crash, but research and crash tests show that the opposite is true. Unrestrained rear seat passengers are three times more likely to suffer death or serious injury as belted passengers and if the car is involved in a collision unrestrained passengers can hit other occupants with the force of a small elephant causing massive injuries.

Hopefully, if you as a driver of a motor vehicle have in the past been guilty of driving without ensuring that all passengers are safely buckled up, this article will motivate you to obey the law and look after the safety of both yourself and your passengers in future.

Remember that the correct car insurance can replace your car – nothing can replace a life, but responsible driving habits and the use of safety belts can prevent the loss of a life.The author specializes in car insurance. To read more on vehicle insurance, visit getinsurance.co.za

If you are going to store your belongings in a self-storage unit, you are probably wondering whether or not they are insured. After all, the unit could catch on fire, be broken into, or be otherwise damaged, leaving your valuable property at risk. The good news is that most self-storage companies offer insurance, but before you purchase it, make sure you really need it.

Insurance Is Not Automatic

The first thing to understand about self storage insurance policies is the fact that they are not automatically applied to your belongings. Some companies have policies already in place, and if they do, the cost of your rental will cover the insurance premium. However, this is rare. Most companies are competing to get your business by having the lowest possible rate, and as such they do not build insurance into the cost. This will only cause them to lose business to companies advertising lower rates. However, you can usually get insurance if you want it, but you will have to pay for it.

Of course, some items are covered under the insurance policy the building’s owner has. For instance, fire is typically covered under the owner’s insurance policy. Theft and weather damage, such as the damage that may occur if there is a tornado or windstorm, is not necessarily part of this coverage.

You May Not Need It

If you own your own home and have a homeowner’s insurance policy, you may not need insurance on your items in storage. Before you sign up for the insurance policy offered by the storage company, check with your current insurance provider. Your insurance policy likely covers your possessions, and this may include possessions store off of your property. Most insurance policies cover all of the property of the homeowner no matter where it is in the world. Of course, your deductible and any exclusions that apply to the homeowner’s policy also apply to the items you are storing, so if you feel that your belongings will not be adequately insured, be sure to purchase the policy.

Of course, if you are using the storage unit to store a vehicle, this will not be covered under your homeowner’s policy. Almost all homeowner’s policies exclude the vehicles that the property owner has. This makes the need for automotive insurance more real. If the car is not insured, then purchasing the additional insurance policy is a good idea.

Most renters’ insurance policies work in a similar way. Since they insure the ‘contents’ of the rental home, they also protect the belongings you put in storage. Again, check with your current insurance provider to determine what coverage you already have before you purchase the coverage offered by the rental unit.

What if You Are Not Covered?

If you do not have an existing insurance policy that will cover your belongings while in storage, you will have to decide whether or not the cost of the rental unit insurance is worthwhile. The only way to do this is to determine how valuable the items you will be storing are, how upset you will be if you lose them, and then choosing whether or not the cost of the policy make sense in light of the value of your belongings.

Keep in mind that you are not protected, even if the rental unit’s owner allows you to rent without insurance. Even the best security measures can be overcome, and no one can protect your belongings from a natural disaster. If something happens to the building, your belongings will be lost, and you will be left with nothing. If you do not want to see this happen, consider purchasing insurance for the items you place in self storage.Migson is a Public Storage Toronto company that provides self storage facilities throughout Ontario, including Toronto storage space.
