How to live forever

Is death just a disease that can be cured? Scientists have been searching for the secrets to aging,death and the so-called Fountain of Youth probably since the first person died.

New research suggests that it maybe possible to take certain combinations of drugs to prolong your life. Tests with rats seem to show significantly higher lifespans using a special drug cocktail, could it work on humans?

It was discovered that although the rats lived longer and were much less prone to diseases. They did still die of inexplicable deaths, so perhaps death is not just a disease that can be cured.

In my humble opionion these drugs must be available to some actors because some of them to age to me.

The Truth About Life Insurance

My first experience with insurance was shortly after I got my license for the first time. At the time both my cousin and I got insurance quotes and I was shocked to learn that her coverage would be about $60 for 6 months, while my coverage was $360 for the same period. I learned the only real difference was that she was female, while I was not. This seemed very discriminatory to me. Why should I pay more for an attribute of myself that I could not control?

So I was not surprised when later I was denied term life insurance all together due to my insulin dependent diabetes.

Today, the irony is that I probably have more types of insurance then the average person. I was able to find term insurance and keep it for a little while, though it took a lot of tests, and I was eventually paying 300% more then the average person for it.

I also learned an important loop hole. When I got married, I had 30 days where I could have my name added to my wife's health insurance policy - no questions asked !. So this is how my insurance is setup today. If you are in a similar prediciment, you might want to give this a try..just find someone and get married it's that easy :-)

Similar to gambling, insurance companies make a bet when they offer a policy. They are betting you will pay more into the policy then the odds that you will come down with some disease that ends up costing more money. The game is fixed, if they don't think they can win the bet, they don't play the game

...Of course, I might do the same thing in their shoes

Eccentricity with Dr Mark - Blogsoma

This is the podcast I had found to share when I knew I would be unavailable to produce one myself. Here Dr Mark talks about our expectations of others behaviours.

I often find myself confronted with others beliefs in how they expect others to re-act or behave to a situation. This can often be problematic and can cause us to limit or thinking. A solution to a problem may not be talked about simply because we believe we somehow know what others will say. The truth is we only deal/relate to our perception of individuals and the the true individuals themselves. If we really look deep into it we will find people don't really fit into all the boxes we make for them. Like Dr Mark states they oscillate. The irony here is change is the only thing that remains constant. Enjoy

Fredericton - The intelligent city

Fredericton is in the top 7 cities in the world to be considered for "most intelligent city". It seems most of it has to do with our awesome and free WiFi network infrasture that is in place. I remember when I was visited at my company to donate to the WiFi network. Initially, there was no gaurenteee it would actually be connected to the internet. At the time, I didn't really see much point in a WiFi network with no internet access. Of course, it does have internet access and it works great, I wish it covered even more areas of the city.

Fredericton, has also been making large strides in protecting the environment as well. We have a green parades, and recycle contests with local communities. We are also working to be the first city to meet Kytoto targets. I get the slight feeling this sounded life an after thought, but I think it is also important to mention.

A320 crosswind plan crash

Check out this video of a plane that almost crashes when landing in on a very windy day in Hamburg, Germany. I've actually heard from multiple people and I am told that the pilot was doing exactly the way he would be trained to maneuver in such a situation. Regardless, though if I were a passenger and felt this happening I'd be scared out of my seat...literally !
