Nokia Lumia 800 gets first taste of Windows Phone 7.8

Nokia starts pushing WP 78 to Dutch Lumia 800 users

An official Windows Phone 7.8 rollout to Nokia devices like the Lumia 510, 800 and 900 seemed all but inevitable after it popped up on third party Nokia ROM tool NaviFirm, then a couple days later on Nokia's own servers. Now, Dutch site WP7.nl is reporting that Nokia has started rolling it out in earnest to the Lumia 800 from the Zune desktop software, at least on that side of the pond. Provided your device is up-to-date, you may soon receive a certain "Nokia update," which will then be followed by four larger downloads. When the dust settles, you'll see a newfangled splash screen, customization options and Xbox Tile (among numerous other changes), heralding your not-completely-abandoned handset's arrival nearly into the Windows Phone 8 era. Check the translated source for more details.

Is This the Most Over the Top Christmas Tree Ever? Maybe

I came across this image buried in one of those wacky picture dumpster sites, wandering from url to url across the web. I don't know who set the tree up. I don't know how many thousands of LED lights are around that tree. And I don't know why people spend so much money making these things. More »

The Girl's Guide to Understanding Travel Insurance ? Go! Girl Guides

Post image for The Girl?s Guide to Travel Insurance

?

This is a guest post by Virginia of TravelInsuranceReview.com. When she contacted us to give us the low down on travel insurance, we jumped at the chance to get an insider?s view on the industry. Find out what plans are right for you, how and why travel insurance matters, and much more!?

###

Wherever a woman goes in the world, there are always risks ? often the same risks you?d face at home: accidents, burglary, severe weather, traffic accidents, illness, etc. When a woman heads out into the world to travel for business, for fun, for learning, or for giving back, her travel insurance plan could turn out to be one of her best friends when things go wrong.

Travel insurance differs little between men and women, but women have unique health concerns to deal with. If a woman becomes pregnant on her trip, for example, and needs to be medically treated, or if that pregnancy disrupts travel plans, having a great travel insurance plan is invaluable.

This is the traveling girl?s guide to understanding travel insurance. Let?s get started with what travel insurance covers.

Travel Insurance has 5 Important Benefits

There are essentially five benefits provided with any travel insurance plan ? these are the ones that travelers think of when they think of travel insurance, and (depending on the trip) these are the benefits that are most important for a woman traveler to have:

1. ? ? ?Medical emergencies?- most people think that as long as they have health insurance, they?re covered, but most health insurance coverage stops at the border (even Medicare does). This benefit covers medical treatment, emergency transport, physician?s fees, medicine and more when you travel outside your health insurance network.

2 . ? ??Trip cancellations?- traveling typically requires at least some investment in up-front cash and often that money is non refundable. No one likes losing money. This benefit reimburses the cost of plane tickets, cruise fare, tour packages, hotel rooms, and more.

3. ? ? ?Emergency evacuations?- an emergency evacuation can easily cost as much as $50,000 and often more. This benefit arranges and pays for emergency evacuation costs such as medically equipped flights to a hospital and then back home after you?re stable.

4. ? ? ?Losses and delays?- travel delays are not only annoying, they can also be costly. The loss of your baggage is even more so. This benefit reimburses you for lost, damaged, destroyed or delayed baggage and the unexpected expenses related to flight delays.

5. ? ? ?Global emergency assistance services?- your lifeline to call when something goes wrong on a trip. These reps can help a girl book a new flight, find a hotel room, call an ambulance, replace a prescription, and overcome critical language barriers.

Depending on your trip, you may not need all of these benefits. For example, if you?re traveling inside your home country you may not need much medical coverage because your health insurance will cover your illnesses and injuries (even if it is at out-of-network coverage rates).

Optional Coverage for Special Circumstances

Depending on the travel insurance plan, you may also have the following benefits:

  • Hazardous sports coverage to extend your medical benefits to cover activities like SCUBA diving, rock-climbing, and more
  • Pre-existing medical condition waivers to extend your medical benefits if you have an existing medical condition or regularly take medication
  • Rental car coverage (at a cost that?s far more competitive than the rental car companies, if you don?t already have the coverage with your credit card)
  • Life insurance for flight accidents and AD&D (Accidental Death & Dismemberment)
  • Identity theft services in the event your identity is stolen on a trip

Depending on the plan you choose, some of the above are included and some require a special purchase.

Travel Insurance Comes in 2 Popular Flavors

There are only two types of travel insurance that most travelers buy. In fact, the first type is so common it represents over 94% of all travel insurance purchases!

The two flavors of travel insurance are:

1??????Vacation plans?- these are full-featured travel insurance plans, also called package plans, and they deliver the most coverage in a single plan ? including trip cancellation and travel medical, which represent the most expensive risks most travelers face.

2??????Travel medical plans?- these are like regular health insurance that works outside your home country. These plans do not include trip cancellation, but if that?s not a risk for your trip, you can save a whole lot of money by getting one of these plans.

Now that you have a better understanding of what travel insurance covers and the types of plans you can buy, let?s look at how to buy the right plan for your trip.

7 Steps to Buy the Right Travel Insurance Plan

In order to figure out what coverage you need, travelers should follow these steps:

1. ? ? ?Don?t buy your plan on a booking site.?These are one-size-fits-all plans that are heavily weighted in favor of the travel insurance company. So many travelers have been left high and dry with these plans that some states are now banning due to complaints.

2. ? ? ?Determine your coverage needs.?Depending on your trip, your style of travel, the activities you want to do, where you?re going, and how much you?ve pre-paid, determine what coverage you need on your trip.

3. ? ???Check your credit card travel protection benefits. In most cases, the cancellation benefit is severely limited (but it might be enough) and you won?t have any travel medical coverage. The car rental, baggage, and travel assistance coverage is often identical to travel insurance, however, and it won?t cost you extra. Cha-ching!

4. ? ? ?Decide whether you need the optional coverage.?If you have a pre-existing condition or plan to participate in hazardous activities, for example, you?ll want to purchase the waivers to these common exclusions.

5. ? ?? Compare travel insurance quotes to get the best value. While you may be worried about adding the cost of travel insurance to your trip, it turns out it?s not all that expensive when you consider what you might have to pay out of pocket for a medical emergency in a foreign country.

6. ? ???Buy the coverage early.?Many plans require that you purchase your travel insurance plan soon after making your first trip payment. It?s a critical factor that can affect whether your coverage is valid when you need it, so buy it quickly after making your first trip purchase.

7. ? ? ?Read and understand your coverage.?All travel insurance plans come with a free review period which you can use to carefully review the travel plan (don?t worry, they?re a lot easier to read than other legal docs) and make changes or cancel the plan.

Remember, any insurance plan ? homeowners, auto, life ? is purchased to protect us against the unexpected stuff that can happen, so take a little time and think about what?could?happen on your trip (not that it will) and then protect yourself with travel insurance. After that, bon voyage!

An Introduction To The Foreign Exchange Market ? SharesInv.com

By Stuart McPhee
OANDA?s Currency Technical Analyst and Trading Coach and Technical Analyst

The foreign exchange market (also known as forex and FX) facilitates the conversion of one national currency into another and is the world?s largest financial market, with over US$4 trillion being traded every day, on average.

The FX market is a very news driven market and its influences are broader economic information like trade between countries, health of economies and interest rates. Local, regional or world events can cause sudden spikes and falls in prices to occur in seconds. Depending upon the significance of the news, and how closely it is related to a particular currency, an amazing amount of trading activity can occur in a short period of time.

More and more individual traders are now speculating on forex, as various trading platforms over the last ten years have made this market much more accessible to the individual private trader.

Most transactions in foreign exchange markets involve the United States Dollar (or USD), and it is the currency by which most others are quoted against. When a currency exchange is quoted, it must include the two currencies in the transaction as all currency transactions occur in pairs.

The Euro Dollar / US Dollar currency pair, (EURUSD ? commonly referred to as the ?Euro?) is the most actively traded currency pair.

In quoting, there are standard abbreviations that designate the currency, for example:

For example, AUD/USD 1.0550 ? this means that you require 1.0550 USD for every Australian dollar. Another way at looking at the quote is to replace the ?slash? (/) with ?1 equals?. In the same example, 1 AUD equals 1.0550 USD.

As with certain other financial products, there are significant advantages of trading forex. However, it also carries significant risk due to the leverage. Ultimately, just like the value of other trading products, eg. shares, the two things that affect the value of a currency are supply and demand.

However, there are many fundamental influences on supply and demand for a particular currency including interest rates difference between two countries and the level of imports and exports.

Gain access to the FX market through OANDA?s award-winning fxTrade? platform. Visit www.oanda.sg for more information.

Trading in the leveraged over-the-counter market carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You should never put at risk any amount that you cannot afford to lose. More details under: http://www.oanda.sg/legal/risk-warning

'Tis the Season?for Making Smart Choices | Lunchquest Edinburgh

It?s that time of the year again, where the holiday office parties have already started weeks ago, and you?re trying to meet up with as many people for a quick catch-up before everyone heads out for the holidays. It?s a whole month (and more) of eating, drinking, and being merry, but that doesn?t mean you have to pack on the party pounds. By following some simple tips you can survive the holiday season without ringing in the New Year with the extra weight.

Dot your plate with little bites from the buffet, like this

Curb your hunger before a party ? It might sound strange, but feeling hungry can lead you straight to the buffet table or nibbling on snacks once you get to the party. Having a small, low-fat snack such as fruit, low-fat cheese, or a low fat yoghurt before you head out the door can help control how much you eat, and will allow you to make healthier choices at the party.

Make one trip to the party buffet ? Buffet tables can be a very dangerous place when it comes to portion control. You start at the beginning of the buffet, and by the time you have made it half way, your plate is already quite full. Although everything on the buffet might be really tempting, try visiting the buffet once, choose only the foods you really want to eat, and keep portions small. You often only need a taste of the food to satisfy cravings. If you need a full plate to feel like you?re eating enough, then try filling it with salad and vegetables first before adding on the other foods. Try to move away from the buffet to avoid any unconscious nibbling while chatting away.

At the dinner table, cut your first helping in half ? Whether you?re at a friend?s house for a dinner party or with your family for Christmas dinner putting less on your plate first may help you eat less overall. If you fill your plate to begin with, often times you might be overfilling your plate out of excitement, and end up eating more than you needed. Start with half of what you would usually eat, and then if you need more, you can always have a little more.

Choose healthier finger foods ? Try to stay away from any fried appetisers, cheese cubes, cocktail sausages, and pastry based snacks. Instead, opt for some raw veggies with a small amount of dip, pretzels, or low fat crackers. If you are hosting a party, make sure you have some healthy snacks around, not only for yourself, but others might be trying to watch what they are eating too. Some ideas for snacks could be raw vegetables with a low fat dip or hummus, low fat cheese with whole wheat crackers, or some fresh or dried fruits. If you want to include some sausages, don?t wrap them in bacon, instead grill or fry them on a pan without using any type of fat.

Drink smart ? This is probably the time of year when we drink the most alcohol, but choosing the right type of drink can cut calories. Making small changes like swapping a glass of wine for a white wine spritzer with soda water or a pint of lager instead of a pint of cider can save some calories while still having a drink. Take a look at the table below to see how many calories are in some of our favourite drinks, you may be quite surprised at how quickly the calories add up.

Spirits serving (25ml), such as vodka or gin (37.5% ABV)

A 25ml serving of single cream

Remember to alternate your alcoholic drink with water to help you from becoming dehydrated. If possible, get out of doing rounds, as this way you can drink at your own pace, and don?t feel the need to drink as much.

Finally, be realistic ? If you are trying to lose weight, this may not be the right time to do it. Instead, aim to maintain your weight by balancing party eating with other healthy meals. Eat small, lower-calorie and lower-fat meals during the day so you can enjoy party foods later without overdoing your total calorie intake. Most importantly, enjoy the holidays!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas, and a healthy start to 2013!
