I am the proud mommy of 5 furry pets. After the recent pet food poisoning scare I decided to do some research. I was absolutely horrified to find out I was poisoning my dogs.Many pet foods claim to be “100% nutritionally complete and balanced. This claim legally can be made and printed on commercial products based on information studies using isolated nutrients and not whole foods.

These tests ignore important nutritional issues and give consumers a false sense of knowledge and security.There are more than forty known, essential nutrients… thus, making sure a food contains appropriate amounts of only a dozen of these nutrients can’t possibly assure that a food is complete.

The State of Financial Markets in the Southern African Region

Up to the end of 1994, there were 14 stock exchanges in the entire African continent. These were Cairo (Egypt), Casablanca (Morocco), Tunis (Tunisia) in North Africa; Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), Accra (Ghana), and Lagos (Nigeria) in West Africa and Nairobi (Kenya) in Eastern Africa. In the Southern African region, they were Windhoeck (Namibia), Gaborone (Botswana), Johannesburg (South Africa), Port Louis (Mauritius), Lusaka (Zambia), Harare (Zimbabwe) and Mbabane (Swaziland). In 2005, most of other countries in Southern Africa have developed their own stocks exchange markets. They are Maputo (Mozambique), Dar-Es-Salam (Tanzania) and Luanda (Angola).

In the unfortunate situation where an employee is terminated or voluntarily quits his or her job, the Division of Unemployment Assistance can provide much needed financial relief though a weekly check. Not only can unemployed individuals receive a weekly check for assistance, there are also other programs that can help assist the individual in many ways. One program that is available through the Division of Unemployment Assistance is health insurance coverage. In order to be eligible for health insurance benefits in Massachusetts, you must be a resident of the state and meet certain income eligibility guidelines. The individual and their family may also qualify for health insurance coverage under the Medical Security Program (MSP). There are two health insurance options that one can choose from. The first option is the Direct Coverage Plan. This plan is for individuals without any current health plans. Under this option some co-payments are required for certain services. This health insurance option is given to individuals and their families who don’t have access to COBRA or other health insurance plans and also for individuals who can’t afford to maintain their COBRA option. The second health insurance option is The Premium Assistance Plan, which allows individuals to receive partial reimbursement for health insurance premiums to continue their health plan through their last employer. All benefits of the Medical Security Program coverage are terminated when unemployment benefits end.

A recent study, published in Neurology, found that mild brain injury may increase your likelihood of developing circadian rhythm sleep disorder (CRSD). CRSD is often misdiagnosed as insomnia, and therefore treated ineffectively. Liat Ayalon, PhD, authored of the study, says that, “as many as 40% to 65% of people with mild traumatic brain injury complain of insomnia.” Sleeping problems can make brain injury symptoms worse, and CRSD is often associated with cognitive and psychological problems. Treating CRSD may improve brain injury symptoms, as well.

The recent case of Wistbray Ltd v Creative Nature Ltd (2005) emphasises that the Court will look at the overall impression of a sign to determine whether it infringes a trade mark.

Section 10 of the Trade Marks Act 1994 provides, so far as is material: ‘(2) A person infringes a registered trade mark if he uses in the course of trade a sign where because.(b) the sign is similar to the trade mark and is used in relation to goods or services identical with or similar to those for which the trade mark is registered, there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public, which includes the likelihood of association with the trade mark’.

As the old and overly utilized cliché goes; “Age does not matter.” This statement would pertain not merely to the daily facets of everyday living but it would also be an appropriate statement for laws abhorring discrimination on the basis of age.

Did you know that your heirs may have to liquidate your home or rental properties immediately after your death, unless you create an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT)?

Most people are interested in passing their wealth to their heirs. With the demise of the baby-boomer generation, an enormous transfer of wealth will occur during the coming years. The government is poised to capture this wealth through the estate tax, which is imposed upon death.

Currently, the Federal estate tax exemption amount is $1.5 million for individuals and $3 million for married couples. Any amount over the exemption will be taxed (Federal estate taxes average around 45%). Furthermore, this tax must be paid within nine months after you die.
