Choosing among the different types of life insurance may prove to be a daunting task to an individual. The good news is that it does not have to be. The secret is to know what to look for and research the various types of life insurance in order to determine which type offers you the security that you need. Here, I will provide the top 3 tips on choosing the right life insurance plan for you and your loved ones.

1. The first thing that you should consider when evaluating the different types of life insurance are the financial obligations that you have. This will help you in evaluating how you would have to handle various types of expenses in the event that a loved one in your family passed away, or how a loved one would have to handle your expenses if you passed away. Obligations that are financial based include any type of loans, taxes, medical expenses, credit card debt, mortgages, and similar types of expenses.

2. While there are many types of life insurance outlined among providers, there are really only two types – these are term and whole. Term life acts in place of a loss income and is only in effect for a specified amount of time. Whole acts as a type of cash value asset that covers an individual’s whole life and their death as well as financial obligations.

3. When evaluating different types of life insurance, it is important to understand that each policy may include other types of coverage that may prove to be effective throughout the course of your life. Examples include that of disability waivers, critical illness specifications, and even accidental death.

Remember, when choosing among the various types of life insurance policies available, there are many points that must be considered. One includes the financial obligations that you have that may need to be covered in the event of your death. The next is choosing whether you want a term policy or a whole policy. The last is determining if additional coverage plans are appropriate for you.

A wall that is thought to be load bearing is a wall or part of the structure that is bearing the load of an additional structure or load from on top. The masonry you intend demolishing or adapting itself may be supporting brickwork above on let’s say first floor level or indeed and more commonly, the first floor level floor timber joists. In a standard layout of a house with a rear dining room and a living room at the front, the rear room joists commonly run from the external walls, rest on the intermediate wall dividing dining room and living room, and then another joist/s would run from the intermediate dividing wall to the front elevation external wall.

Any wall that is bearing the weight of joists is therefore load bearing and will have to be supported prior to any major alterations carried out. Typically this would be done with the use of acrow props and timbers ‘needles’ or steel supports called strong boys to take the load whilst alterations are underway.

Some loads may not be from masonry by the way, they could be from timber partitions above the wall you want to take out. In the same fashion the load must be supported both before and after any alteration is taken out. You ought to make every check to establish what load the wall is carrying.

You ought to carry out a thorough check of the job in place you are planning right from the start to ensure everything has been accounted for in your calculations. There are many structural engineers out there who will be happy to pay you a visit and make all the necessary drawings and calculations to help with your project.

Permanent support will be required after your alterations have been temporarily propped and this will commonly be in the form or either a concrete concrete or steel lintel or steel RSJ. There are a number of different beams on the market, each serving their own purposes so it will be necessary to use the correct support for the job. A professional structural engineer will be able to make the necessary calculations for you. Don’t just guess what you think will be right!

Your local building inspector will want to be informed of any alterations you intend to carry out to ensure all work conforms to current building regulations. You should also be issued with a ‘completion certificate’ when the work has been satisfactorily completed.

You will want to set everything out clearly to ensure you know exactly what you are removing and to know where your new concrete or steel lintel will sit. You will want the new RSJ or concrete or steel lintel to rest on a minimum of 150mm bearings so make provisions for this when marking out. You can use a hammer and bolster to chop back the plaster covering the brick. An angle grinder can be used to make a straight line where the opening will run to or the traditional method of hammer and bolster.

Preparing To Fit The Steel Beam

With most of the work out of the way now, it is time to fit the new RSJ or lintel in place. The RSJ will be fitted onto 150mm minimum bearings with a stiff 3:1 sand and cement mix. Ensure the bearings are sound that the RSJ will sit on and that you have adequate help to lift the new steel RSJ in place. Use trestles with scaffold boards going across as a safe working platform to carry out the operation. Pack up the lintel with slate afterwards to ensure it is tight to the brickwork above.

Leave your support props in until the next day to let the mortar set. Only after this can the props be taken away and in doing so, fill in any holes you made for the props with bricks and point up and slate if required. All you need to do now is make good the plaster work afterwards. Make sure the building inspector has seen all works etc, before re-plastering.

Any structural change to a property should be professionally calculated in order for the correct supporting members to be put in place. Contact your local BCO office today and ask for a list of structural engineers in your local area.

Numis Network – Business Opportunity

Why did I choose to get involved with Numis Network?

It is a great question and one that everyone will ask themselves. I had never been involved, nor did I think I ever would get involved, with a network marketing company otherwise known as MLM (Multilevel Marketing). It conjured up horrible images of Amway reps hounding all their friends and family to buy stuff from them. But, I have never known an Amway rep, nor do I know anything about the company, so it is not fair to critique them in this manner, but for some reason these are the images that popped into my mind and I’m sure they are the same thoughts that may run through yours.

So the reason I decided to get involved with this company comes down to opportunity!

I think I am at the right place at the right time to get involved with a company that only started their business 6 weeks ago. With that being said, the owners are not new to this game, in fact, they are industry veterans with over 40 years experience in starting and running successful network marketing companies.

For me, it was about ease of use with a complete turn key set up. I did not want to have to buy a website or set up any merchant accounts. I wanted a complete solution, whereby I could focus on the internet marketing portion of my business plan. Anyways, a friend of mine introduced me to Numis Network which is basically buying and selling collectible silver and gold coins through network marketing. The owners who started the company are all successful business owners from Tampa with backgrounds in internet marketing, MLM marketing and the (HSN) home shopping network. – you can read their bios on my website www.numisnetwork.com/jwotsch. This is a ground floor opportunity with little up front cost ($299) which included my website, tracking software, training and national marketing support along with your first “2009 MS 70 ANACS Silver American Eagle” which is valued on the internet at $125 – $299.

This company has created a turn-key web solution and the product is selling numismatic coins through your MLM network or over the internet. Coins are all ANACS certified coins that you get to keep, so there is actual real long-term value in the product that I am buying and selling. Payouts are very lucrative and I can work as little or as much as I want. I was really excited when I got introduced to the opportunity because one of our friends who just got in 5 weeks ago has only signed up 6 of his friends, but already has 235 people underneath him and he is getting paid on everyone that continues to join the network.

There are only 1,500 people signed up so far and the company is doing a national launch on Aug. 15th. One of the guys (Mike Mezack) involved with Numis Network is on the Home Shopping Network and responsible for selling over $1billion in coins. This is the first time ever that numismatic coins will be sold through a network marketing approach so getting in on the ground floor was a huge selling point for me since I will continue to get paid out on everyone beneath me – indefinitely. The websites are completely hands off as the software tracks everything for me, but I have total control of the back-end software to monitor my network base and all my commissions.

Here is a video with one of the founders talking about the opportunity.
