Survey shows Covid-19 inspiring innovation in SA short-term insurance sector
DURBAN – Results of a survey conducted amongst 1200 Old Mutual Insure (OMI) and Elite brokers provides rich data on just how significantly the Covid-19 crisis and, especially, the national lockdown has impacted the short-term insurance industry.
Of interest is a range of positive innovations that brokers believe lockdown is likely to leave in its wake. These unexpected learnings are likely to benefit the industry long after lockdown is lifted.
Significantly, Covid-19 lockdown has bought home, now more than ever, the need to save. Black swan events like the current global pandemic illustrate, that nothing can be taken for granted. The unforeseen is ever present. And the best preparation for the unforeseen is savings.
Rapid City Correctional Officer works to help and inspire incarcerated youth
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN-TV)- A correctional officer in Rapid City grew up in Detroit. She’s lived all around the globe while serving in the military, and now works with some of the most violent incarcerated kids around.
Correctional Officer Anesha T. Morton at the Juvenile Services Center traveled all over the world in the U.S. Air Force. Now she works to inspire troubled youth.
But she’s not just working with them, she’s inspiring them, ”Along the Way” at the Juvenile Services Center.
As we watch Anesha T. Morton unlock her keys for the highly secure Juvenile Services Center, there’s a sort of beep, beep, beep, and a buzz, before the key box door will open.
Four pupils used to practice meditation in the time before Zen came to Japan.
These close friends vowed to each other to observe silence for seven days.
The first day passed well.
But as the evening progressed and the oil lamps became dim, one student couldn’t help himself.
“Attend to the lamps!” he shouted impatiently to an assistant.
His friend turned to him, surprised.
“You are not supposed to speak! Have you forgotten?”
The third friend piped up, “You fools! Why are you talking?”
“Hah, I’m the only one who’s kept silent!” exclaimed the last.
Before judging others, pause for a moment and ask – how perfect am I?
Interpretation : We need to know how to never judge anyone else in the journey of our lives to lead a holistic, complete life.
I am an author, writer and a trainer in spoken and written English.
My journey of stepping into writing began I realized that there are many ideas I wished to convey to all without sounding judgmental or patronizing. Writing then became my passion as I was able to do all of this quite effectively. This connected me with a variety of people who shared their journeys with me. In the midst of all this, I was diagnosed and recovered from multiple sclerosis that also got published as a book. I am certain that my recovery was possible not just because of the techniques that I used, most of which was alternative healing techniques but also because I used the approach of body, mind and spirit healing, where the spirit gives us faith, mind gives us positivity and the body follows the instructions that it receives. I have been the Asst Editor of Life Positive magazine and trained people, both children and adults in spoken and written English. All through my journey, I have realized how powerful writing is to convey messages of who we are. Now, six books of mine have been published. These comprise of two books for children; a collection of short stories on religion and an adventure story published by Rupa & Co. A book of Teaching Stories published by Life Positive in 2008. More Teaching Stories published in 2011, Elixir for Zylake, a childrens’ book published by Life Positive in December 2013 and Dancing with Life published by Hay House in 2015. I have also self-published a novel on Kindle recently. The novel is all about the quest of identity interwoven in the loves and lives of three generations of people in India and Afghanistan. The story conveys the emotions of people in the pre-independence era when Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan and Mahatma Gandhi were pretty active in spreading their message of non-violence. It shows how common people were affected both by physical violence and non-inclusion in their own land. Some pre-Independence violence and disharmony is conveyed while even the current terrorism and intolerance is brought out with the end ending on a note of hope and love. The primary message that the novel seeks to convey is the commonality of all people and their emotions and a search that all of us have for our own roots and identity. The novel ultimately brings out the fact that humanity is indeed one and our identity, no matter what the origin may be, is one of oneness, unity and love. For, we all are indeed from the same source, whatever we may call it.am an author, writer and a trainer in spoken and written English.
