Older drinkers are more likely to become forgetful and fall over than younger people

Older drinkers are more likely to suffer from memory loss and unsteadiness than their younger counterparts.

The warning comes after a new study showed than alcohol has a much greater impact on drinkers who are over 65-years-old than it does on teenagers.

Pensioners who drink heavily are more likely to have falls, accidents and to forget to take their medicine, according to a paper published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.

Researchers tested the impact of alcohol on lab rats and it concluded that the older ones were much more likely to suffer the ill-effects of drinking the than younger ones.

Dr Douglas Matthews, from the Baylor University in Texas, U.S., said: ‘Health implications such as falls, accidents and poor medicine-taking are pretty easy to conclude.

‘The experiment included adult and aged rats. It showed a dramatic increase in ethanol-induced ataxia - loss of co-ordination – in the older rats.’
The findings come at a time when excessive drinking is a serious problem in the UK.
 
A recent study from University College London revealed that millions of adults fool themselves into thinking they are modest drinkers when they actually consume enough to be classed as ‘bingers’.

The study found a huge mismatch between the amount of alcohol we say we are consuming and what is actually being bought.

When the two figures are compared, 40 per cent of sales are unaccounted for.

The study suggests that around half the adult population are binge drinkers.

About half the British adult population are binge drinkers, yet most do not admit to over indulging in alcohol

However, only 13 per cent of women and 22 per cent of men admit to being in this category.
According to the charity Drink Aware, binge drinking is defined as drinking at least double the recommended daily allowance of alcohol most days of the week.
Therefore, a woman who drinks two large glasses of wine a day and a man who drinks three pints of strong beer a day would both count as binge drinkers.as young as seven are being admitted to hospital with alcohol problems.

Other shocking figures revealed recently that dozens of under-10s have been hospitalised suffering from mental and behavioural disorders due to alcohol use.

A Freedom of Information request to all of England's 166 NHS hospital trusts revealed a total of 380 children aged 10 or under were treated for alcohol intoxication between 2008 and 2012.

Worryingly, 67 of the trusts approached either failed or refused to respond to the Freedom of Information request, meaning the figures are likely to be even higher.


First Direct and Halifax slice rates on first-time buyer mortgages – is the market thawing for aspiring homeowners?

First Direct and Halifax have today reduced the rates on mortgages for first-time buyers with smaller deposits.
Both said increased demand for high Loan-to-Value (LTV) mortgages had prompted the move - and both have fee-free options to help first-time buyers get on the first rung of the property ladder.
Halifax’s 75 – 80 per cent LTV two year fixed-rate deal has been reduced by 0.3 points to 3.24 per cent, while its 80 – 85 per cent mortgage has fallen to 3.79 per cent. Both of these come without a fee.

It's not the cheapest deal advertised right now, the Post Office has an 80 per cent LTV deal that pips the new Halifax rate. Its two year fix comes with a 3.14 per cent rate - but this has a fee of £995.
Chelsea Building Society has a two year fixed-rate mortgage for those with an 85 per cent LTV which has a lower 3.29 per cent rate than that offered by Halifax. However, this comes with a hefty £1,545 fee.
To see the true cost of a mortgage with rates and fees both included, use the This is Money mortgage calculator.
 
A growing number of deals with rates of less than four per cent per cent are now available for those with a 10 per cent deposit, typically first-timers.
Today, First Direct – an offshoot of HSBC – has reduced its 90 per cent LTV three year fixed rate to 3.99 per cent, with a £999 fee. Its fee free option of the same deal has a 4.29 per cent rate.
At the same time, its 90 per cent LTV five year option has fallen to 4.19 per cent, with a £1,499 fee, or 4.49 per cent without a fee.
Yorkshire Building Society has the lowest rate for first time buyers. Its two-year fix has a 3.74 per cent rate with a £975 fee.
Halifax does offer a two year fix for those with smaller deposits, but this didn’t see a reduction today. This has a 4.49 per cent rate and also carries a £995 fee.
Craig McKinlay, new mortgages director at Halifax, said: ‘By further reducing the rates across our affordable housing mortgages, we are continuing to demonstrate our commitment to helping home buyers in this sector make their way onto, and up, the property ladder.’

Halifax also cuts NewBuy and shared ownership rates

Halifax has also cut the rates on its NewBuy and shared ownership mortgages.
It says the move is to further strengthen its support of the affordable housing sector – the lender already represents a third of all applications and completions on NewBuy mortgages.
The NewBuy Guarantee scheme aims to help buyers who have a deposit of at least five per cent to buy a new-build home. NewBuy borrowers take a government loan of up to 20 per cent of the purchase price to make up required deposit. No interest is payable on this government loan five years and the total sum is repayable when the house is sold.
 
The scheme allows more borrowers to secure up to a 95 per cent LTV mortgage on new-build properties from participating builders in England.
Halifax has reduced three of its NewBuy deals by 0.3 points.
Its 90 per cent LTV two-year fixed rate, with a fee of £995, has been reduced to 4.69 per cent, while those who want to swerve the fee can pay a higher rate of 5.09 per cent.
It also has a seven year option which comes without a fee, and this now has a 4.69 per cent rate.
These deals make them the best buys available – other lenders that participate in the scheme are Aldermore, Santander, NatWest, Nationwide and the Woolwich.
Shared ownership schemes mortgages have also been reduced.
Under these, you buy a share of your home - between 25 per cent and 75 per cent of the home’s value - and pay rent on the remaining share.
You’ll need to take out a mortgage to pay for your share of the home’s purchase price.
To qualify for one of these loans, your household needs to earn £60,000 a year or less and you’ll need to be a first-time buyer.
Halifax has reduced the rates on some of these mortgages, including a 60 per cent LTV two year fix being reduced to 2.74 per cent with a £999 fee, while its fee free option is reduced to 3.59 per cent.
The lowest rate comes from HSBC. Its two year 60 per cent LTV mortgage has a 1.79 per cent rate but comes with a meaty £1,999 fee.

The Potty Training Dogs Manual

By Geraldine Dimarco


Are you loving your dog only until he plants another bomb in your immaculate living room carpet? It seems that your home can benefit greatly from some potty training dogs tips. Here are some simple techniques that will keep you and your pet's love fest undisturbed in a few short weeks.

Hearing the obligatory chores in house training dogs is enough to make the best of us cringe. Some don't even bother to make an effort. As a result, many dogs have never learned the basics on toilet training. It may be easier to teach puppies good habits, but adult dogs can still learn to do their business outside properly.

It will be helpful to know that it is easier to train older canines to "do" than to "don't". What this means is that if he is not taught how to go out to eliminate; you will find it almost impossible to undo this learned behavior. You will need to teach him a new habit. In this scenario, it is going outdoors to do his business.

Look for a spot outdoors specifically to use for his toilet needs. The dog will feel like eliminating ten to fifteen minutes after eating. Take him out to the designated area around that time. As you walk to his spot, keep repeating a phrase he will associate with this activity like, 'go potty'. When he finally does, lavish him with praise so he will understand that what he just did was good. Keep doing this process for several weeks, using the same spot each time. You need to be consistent in house training dogs.

Once in a while you will still come across the dreaded mound of discharge inside your house. If he is in the middle of potty, stop him quickly and bring him outside to finish his business. Give him treats when he discharges outside successfully. If you do find the poop without the pet nearby it will be no use to yell at him anymore. He will not understand your reason for being upset and this will only serve to confuse him. To ensure this doesn't happen again, be extra vigilant after meals.

In case it happens, clean the accident immediately as thoroughly as possible. Use a solution that combats odor to get rid of any residual smell it might leave behind or else the dog will revisit his spot and use it to eliminate again. Remember in potty training dogs, they do not like sharing their sleeping area and their toilet area; so keep their cage or crate as small as possible without it being too cramped for them.

Do not bring food and water to your pet two hours before sleeping or else you might find yourself sleepily leading him out at night for toilet breaks. Take him out to walk early morning or right after he finishes nap time. When you have successfully accomplished training him to go potty outdoors, ensure that going outside is accessible and convenient for him. An open back door will encourage him to continue his newly found talent in discharging outside.

Potty training dogs is an important chore for responsible pet owners. Not only does it discipline and mentally stimulate your dog to behave correctly, you home will be all the cleaner and nicer because of it.

By Jennefer Poultson

No matter is your dog is sick or not, a trip to the vet should be done on a regular basis. The veterinarian will show you things to look out for and to check, especially if you think your dog is sick. When visiting the vet, your dog should undergo a few procedures to make sure that he will continue to be healthy.

Dogs should always be vaccinated. Several diseases are the culprits behind many dog deaths. Your dog should have his rabies shots, distemper, and treatments for fleas. Older dogs can have asthma or even a form of Alzheimer's which is best treated by your vet. The importance of having regular check-ups for your faithful friend cannot be stressed enough.

Gold 401k Investing: How To Plan For The Future

By Octavia Gabet


The time for retirement is rather wonderful. It's attributed to the freedom from usual daily tasks. However, this type of life needs to be very well planned for. By doing this, an individual is given an opportunity to lead a great retirement without the need of undergoing the troubles which many people go through because of improper preparation. This calls for every person to seek ways to help make his retirement a success.

Among the best methods to secure a comfortable retirement would be to sign up for firms providing for 401k gold plans. These agencies are directed at securing a person's financial life after retirement. This undertaking is much like savings. There are numerous firms that give these services. Nevertheless, not all companies are endorsed. This is ascribed to the growth of some unscrupulous firms providing these types of services.

Through research, one can find the most effective firm. Among the sensible means to do this is by visiting the sites of these firms. When there, one has to check out the review part of each company's site. By so doing, they're given the opportunity to determine the trustworthiness of every firm.

Additionally, one could inquire from friends who have had a bit of exposure to these agencies. It's true that these people are abundant with information about the transfer of 401k into gold. For example, amid discussions various names of both the good and bad companies may come about. Within these circumstances, it is necessary to notice these companies as they can be useful during the evaluation.

The reputation of the firm providing these solutions is rather important. It's known that the reputation of the company speaks a whole lot regarding each agency. A reputable company will not have poor administration. Nor will this kind of agency show wrong motives like swindling its clients. Hence, it is necessary to remember such factor when seeking to rollover the 401k into gold.

One more thing to consider is the age of a company. Undoubtedly, a firm which has endured for a very long time must be worth having. An individual must avoid a few new firms which exert every effort to find clients. In most cases, such companies put together short lived offers to entice people to subscribe to their products. It is necessary for one to avoid them all as they prove overpriced in the long term.

The future is rather delicate thus the necessity to find means to protect it. The good news is that this kind of plan gives a person the most beneficial chance to enjoy life during retirement. Such arrangement helps to ensure that an individual does not spend his cash indiscriminately. It reduces the chances of asking for money during retirement.

To summarize, there's a huge difference between a retired person who has availed of this program with that who has not. It's therefore commendable to sign up to such endeavor.

Men's Dress Pants: Things To Consider When Buying One

By Jimmy Cox


Are you familiar with the many things to consider when looking for men's dress pants? You read that right. Going to the department store without a definite guideline in mind can just lead you to hopping from one store to another unsuccessful. Below are some ideas which can be of help. Browse through for your easy selection among stocks of trousers.

Generally, the best pairs available in the market carry famed brands and are very expensive. Apart from being designed by authorities in the fashion industry, they boast of quality materials and unique styles. On the other hand, you can still get the best pairs with the limited budget you have at hand. After all, ideal men's dress pants are all about comfort and right fit.

Now, let us have the details to look into when scouting for the perfect pair. Rise, drape, length and creases are the four things you should not miss. The perfect rise of trousers depends on the crotch. If the crotch has lots extra fabric, the entire trousers would look saggy. If the crotch has limited fabric, the entire trousers would look very tight. Comfortable trousers when you sit or stand would then be the ones with apt fabric in the crotch area.

Next is the drape. Do you see the lines which are present in most slacks? These are called drapes which make the backs, front and sides fitted appropriately and allow your lower torso to breathe. The lengths of trousers actually depend on the purpose for which they are made. Those created for formal gatherings are expected to be longer than those created for casual occasions. Less and less pieces that make up wardrobe for men display creases on them. If you are a fan of creases, have your trousers tailor-made with these features.

Like what was mentioned earlier, fabric is another important element to consider. Certain fabric types choose the body types they compliment. Just like silky fabrics which usually compliment a trimmed figure. But that is not the case for cotton and wool. What about the color? Lean towards the basic and darker hues for trousers you will use for formal or smart-casual occasions. Non-traditional colors may be best for relaxed occasions.

Men's dress pants need utmost care from the owner. If you are the busy type who cannot spend enough time on detailed cleaning of your clothes for casual dressing, choose trousers that are easy to wash, iron and store. Faulty washing can make your trousers grow or shrink in size. What's more it can cause the color to fade. There are many stores which sell 'wash and wear' trousers. Have a meticulous eye in purchasing the best pairs for your figure and attire needs.

Picking the Suitable Private Loan for Yourself

By Jake Smith

However this type of carelessness can lead to regression in this long-term transaction. Foremost thing to do is understand the most notable difference between different sorts of private loans.

There are typically 2 types of Personal Loans,

Secured Personal Loans - A secured loan is a variety of loan which considers collateral before giving out the loan. This collateral can be anything like automobile or any personal property. Incase if borrower takes secured loan and is not able to repay back the loan amount then bank can take away the collateral.

Unsecured Personal Loans - The unsecured loan is a sort of loan which doesn't require any collateral to get the loan. Sometimes this kind of personal loan is given to individuals having excellent credit history. As having great credit history can be thought to be as good paying back capacity.

Get personal loan at the best private loan interest rates. Choose the right bank/establishment, get the very finest rate, coordinate the paperwork process and make sure the funds reach you in the quickest possible time therefore helping you to satisfy your private desires in proper time. You need to use the personal loan EMI calculator from RupeeZone to calculate your EMIs.

The private loan condition can vary between 1 to 5 years. Thus term of your personal loan will rely on bank or financial establishment you are borrowing from as well as your loan amount. It is very important to grasp the loan conditions before accepting the money.

Though paying your loan off over a longer time period can cut the amount of your monthly installments but you will end up laying out more cash in the guise of interest. Keep this under consideration and borrow only the precise amount that you need as you can pay it back quickly. Also take care to set your financial position in precisely the way that you can afford to keep monthly loan amount aside and still manage your daily costs.

So, personal loan is easy way to satisfy your personal wishes and to get the personal loan it's vital to have confirmed career and collateral as security measure.

Can A Used Car Truck Or Car Be Good Reliable Transport ?

By Kenaston Inkster


It can be said that "everyone drives a used car". Once your new car tires hit the pavement and roll out with plates out of the new car dealership your car, truck or SUV suffers great depreciation in value. After all "someone" ( meaning you in this case) has to pay for the beautiful new automotive dealership , the lot and building and overhead never mind to mention taxes of all types and labor costs to that business that sold you the vehicle.

In life no one is right or wrong so to speak. It's all a matter of perspective, personal needs and experiences - good and bad to the greatest degree and degrees. What those of the new car only buyer group fail to take into account and appreciate is that their own vehicle is "used' the very second they drive out of the new car dealership sales lot. The rough estimate is that once the car is registered with its VIN number on the books (in these days the state or provincial government auto registration system) that virtually 30 % of the value of the truck , car or S.U.V. (as a rough give or take guide) disappears into "thin air". Someone it seems has to pay for the costs of the dealership, its overhead , labor costs of the employees and all the government regulatory fees and taxes. Unless you are President Obama you might not understand this. Nothing is for nothing is the adage and "There is no such thing as a free lunch". Yet if you do buy "used" or "low km" and offload that initial 30 % depreciation hit in the car buying system , to the original owner off the lot be wise and prudent. Take the extra care and precautions of having your vehicle inspected professionally. Pennies spent on a vehicle inspection can save you many thousands of dollars and heartache later. You don't have to be a Laura from Grande Cache to get this point. It is often said the best way to sail a vessel in a gale is not to be out in the storm in the first place. Have your vehicle inspected by a licensed mechanic or better yet a factory trained technician of the very car or truck make or brand that you are considering purchasing.

On the other side of the highway, buying a used car means that you don't have the "pleasure: of dealing with new car salespeople. Your options are actually much greater. There are myriads of people selling used cars privately. You can look in your local newspapers; you can check classified ads online for free on such services as Craigslist, Kijii or other local or national listing services. If you are willing to travel and be adventurous you can even expand your geographic horizons with national - even international services such as eBay which cover the US and Canada in one swoop. Financing can be at your local bank or credit union if need be. Just with private sellers alone you will generally have more choice than in dealing with a handful of dealers in your local area. In addition both new car and used car dealers offer used cars for sale. In some cases it's a matter of more stock and variety in one setting so that you don't have to drive around great distances. In other cases people feel better and more comfortable dealing with a solid company with recourse than a private person who may take little responsibility for events after the sale. With a real firm, they are licensed, they are in the trade so that if the car or truck has issues these should have been diagnosed and taken care ahead of you signing on the bottom line accepting the legal contractual agreement - binding to both parties.

In addition if you look at used vehicles from another vantage point - they are broken in and tested. The vehicle has a track record and most bugs that often occur in new products have been worked out. The key is to do your homework and narrow down the search to rule out obvious problems and lemons , while as a consumer getting good value overall for your cash outlay. First of all before you start looking figure out your real needs for transportation. Everyone wants a two door sports car or convertible it seems. Yet few find these vehicles practical. Next in line consider your finances. Sit down and figure out your budget. If you have savings to cover cash deal great. In that case don't forget license, taxes and auto insurance. Don't leave yourself "car poor". If you are going the auto car payment financing route figure out again with the help of budgeting techniques and strategies what your maximum monthly payment should be. You might go on the low side and give yourself leeway just in case. If you are unfamiliar with such workups or are squeamish about it, ask a relative or close friend. With these figures in hand its best to be approved before you go shopping. This will give you the best negotiating position by far to drive down to the best deal. You can visit your banker or other financial institution before your shopping spree. If you are pre- approved great. If not you will be made aware of credit issues beforehand and what costs and remedies are, so as you are not left in the lurch. True a dealer may offer you a better deal on the spot as a sweetener to the deal or an inducement. If this is your luck - then great and is to your and your family's obvious benefit. Then it's a case of being ahead of the curve and well prepared ahead of the call.

It amazes those that are "old timers "in the auto trade just how much information now becomes readily available with a simple computer accessed vehicle report - and for a fairly small fee. As an auto buyer of a used vehicle you should have tool and tip at your fingers to find your perfect vehicle and haggle the best price for it. After all it is your signature on the dotted line, and you who will assume auto payments as well as maintenance and expensive repair costs. Hence avail yourself of all the benefits modern technology and information service technologies have to offer you when you are out on the prowl for a new vehicle.

If you are more of the hunting and fishing type of person, you'll want to get a tent especially constructed for these excursions. No matter what the weather ends up being, a hunting tent will outlast it. You'll appreciate the gear space that these kinds of tents provide, but you'll also enjoy the fact you can quickly pack up to move as soon as you see that the deer have moved on. Most of the time, these tents will come in a camouflage color, since you want to hide your presence from the animals you are pursuing.

Many people choose to venture into the unknown with only a bicycle or their own feet for transportation, and the tent these people carry is quite different from most other kinds. These sorts of adventurers need to have a tent that can easily fit into a backpack, and ideally the tent should also not weigh very much. Naturally, tents of this size will not be designed to sleep more than one or two people, so if you are travelling with others, each person needs a tent.

How Expensive are Small Cars to Insure?

By Leigh Jackson


When shopping for a new car, many people are looking towards fuel-efficient cars to help save money on gas, their insurance and help save the environment. The question looms, by purchasing a fuel-efficient car, normally a smaller model vehicle, are you putting yourself at risk in the event of an accident and will you cost yourself more money on insurance?

Overall, small, lightweight cars - the type that get the best gas mileage, are generally less safe that large, heavy ones. The most important aspects to a car's safety and its ability to keep you safe in the event of an accident are its safety equipment, weight and resistance to rollover. While small cars pass the roll over test easily - they are low to the ground and thus unlikely to roll, they lack weight and are less likely to have advanced safety features like stability control or full side curtain airbags.

How to find the safety rating of your small car

When researching the safety of your small car the first place you should look is the government agency responsible for conducting crash and safety tests on cars; The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. The NHTSA uses a 5-star ranking program that rates the safety of cars from 1-star (not safe) to 5-stars (super safe) by doing a variety of tests on cars that show them what happens to the car when it is in an accident. Crash tests impact your insurance rate because it tells your insurance company how often you might be in an accident and what it will cost them when it happens.

There are three main tests the NHTSA conducts; front-end collision, rollover resistance, and a side crash with a moving target. A star rating is applied to the car based upon how it performs in each of these crash tests. Using this rating you can determine how safe your car will be in the event of a common crash.

Next, check out Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The IIHS, collects data on various car collisions in the United States and reports back to Insurance companies about the potential risks of different types of vehicles. This institute also conducts their own safety tests, but unlike the NHTSA, these tests determine how a car will hold up in an accident with another vehicle (NHTSA's tests are done with a large blunt surface, usually a wall). All of the information gathered by the IIHS can help drivers determine whether a smaller car is statistically safer on the road filled with SUV sized cars.

Finally, check with the manufacturer of any small car you are interested in. Safety isn't always determined by how well a car performs in a crash test; it can also be determined by what equipment is provided by automotive companies to make the driving experience safer. Car manufacturers have been inventing and adding new safety equipment to both small and large cars. These type of safety features can be used as a major determining factor for car safety because it reduces the likelihood of a car being involved in an accident while on the road and this will save you money!

No matter what size your car is all experts agree that how you drive is the most important safety factor and the thing that will make the biggest difference when insurance companies set your rates. On Texas highways, crowded with big trucks and SUV's, a small car can seem like a dangerous alternative and indeed sometimes it is. If you are in the market for a new car and are looking to save money and considering a small fuel-efficient car, do all the research and find the safest models and add safety features as you can.
