We strive to keep you informed about the latest Medicare news. Each month, we recap the top information you need to know about recent developments in the Medicare industry. This month, we cover Medicare Advantage's enhanced non-medical 2020 benefits, the Annual Enrollment Period and the basics of telemedicine.
Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period Is in Full Swing
As you've probably noticed, fall has arrived and brought with it changing leaves and cooler temperatures. But that's not all this season has to offer – it's also Medicare's Annual Enrollment Period!
If you are a client, our team has likely reached out to you regarding your current plan. As a reminder, if you're already enrolled in Medicare and your needs have changed, December 7 is the cutoff date to take action regarding your 2020 plan. If you are happy with your current plan, no action is required and your current coverage will continue into next year. We thank our clients for continuing to choose RetireMEDiQ!
If you are not a current client and are either new to Medicare or looking to compare your Medicare plan options with a trusted advisor, you can reach our team at 1-866-600-5638 or email@example.com.
Telemedicine: How Will This Affect You in the Future?
You may have heard the terms "telemedicine" or "telehealth benefits" in the news recently, and you'll continue to hear about them as more health plans and physicians are providing these services.
So, what exactly is telemedicine?
The Oxford Dictionary defines telemedicine as "the remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology." An example of this is using video conferencing to meet with a physician.
In a press release earlier this year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said, "These additional telehealth benefits offer patients the option to receive health care services from places like their homes, rather than requiring them to go to a healthcare facility."
Medicare Advantage's Enhanced Benefits for 2020 Plans
We've covered the non-medical benefits Medicare Advantage Plans are featuring since this shift in coverage began at the end of 2018, and these benefits have continued to expand since then. As you look at health plans for 2020, you will be able to choose from plans with benefits like transportation to the grocery store or church, grocery delivery and pest control.
Other 2020 benefits include carpet shampooing and air filter replacements for patients with asthma, alternative medicine like acupuncture and massage therapy and health and fitness devices.
These additional perks are possible because the federal government is becoming more flexible about providing supplemental benefits that address the social and environmental factors that can harm health, especially in patients with chronic illnesses.
The changes in types of benefits offered by these plans are beginning to close the gap between what Medicare covers and what it does not and mark a shift toward preventive care rather than reactive care.
We'd Love to Hear from You!

Increasing data exposure in key areas
Ruark Consulting, LLC today released the results of its 2019 industry studies of variable annuity (VA) policyholder behavior, which include surrenders, income utilization and partial withdrawals, and annuitizations.
"Data exposures in key areas have increased considerably since last year's studies, allowing for more detailed analysis and higher credibility of results," said Timothy Paris, Ruark's CEO.
Among the notable increases in exposure:
Total data comprises 85 million years of exposure and 14 million policyholders from 24 participating companies spanning the 11-year period from 2008-2018, with $795 billion in account value as of the end of the study period.
Highlights include:
Detailed study results, including company-level analytics and customized behavioral assumption models calibrated to the study data, are available for purchase by participating companies.
by Eric Halpern
This year's VA industry studies of policyholder behavior (surrenders, partial withdrawals and income utilization, and GMIB annuitization) should be complete and delivered to purchasers in mid-June.
If you have not yet decided, we continue to see significant increases in exposures and credibility in key areas that are critical for assumption models:
Total exposure years: 85 million (+5.1% since last year)GMIB (10yr) exposure years: +28.7%GLWB in-the-money by 25% or more: +12.3%GLWB income commencement exposure in years 11 or later: +94.5%With all of this data in our studies, we can identify key factors of influence and interactions that are typically not evident at the individual company level, even for large blocks. Moreover, we can use this data to develop and calibrate customized behavioral models that are readily implementable with sensible factors of influence, strong goodness-of-fit, and dramatically improved predictive power in terms of A/E ratios. This is not a budget question, it is an investment in risk management with quantifiable benefits. You can check this out as part of our Premium service option.
Also, data gathering is in progress for new industry studies for payout annuities (incl. GMIB/GLWB post-annuitization, SPIA, and structured settlements, respectively), fixed deferred annuities, and the growing market of structured/indexed variable annuities.
Details and pricing are available upon request, including all of the above along with our 2019 FIA studies and triennial (2018) VA and FIA mortality studies. Please contact me with your purchase decisions or if a discussion would be helpful. We will be back in touch in a few weeks when the VA study results are available.
On behalf of our team, thanks for your ongoing support! Talk to you soon.
by Timothy Paris
Delighted to contribute this cover article to The Modeling Platform newsletter of the Society of Actuaries Modeling section.
And thanks to those of you who attended my presentation at session 08 of the Life & Annuity Symposium this week, which was in a similar vein.
Please contact me at email@example.com if you would like to learn more about how we use industry-level data and techniques like these to develop a cost-benefit equation for data, and quantifiably improve actuarial models and risk management.
I will be speaking at session 08 about policyholder behavior modeling and the risks of over-fitting data. Hope to see you in sunny Florida!
Surrender rates climbing steadily
Ruark Consulting, LLC today released the results of its 2019 studies of fixed indexed annuity (FIA) policyholder behavior. The studies, which examine the factors driving surrender behavior and income utilization, were based on experience from 3.5 million policyholders spanning the period January, 2007 through September, 2018. A total of 15 FIA writers participated, comprising $240 billion in account value as of September, 2018.
"By aggregating across the industry, our studies offer even our
largest clients a way to achieve greater precision than they could by relying
only on their own data," said Timothy Paris, Ruark's CEO. "And as industry
experience develops, the underlying trends are becoming even clearer."
Ruark's FIA studies cover products both with and without a guaranteed lifetime income benefit (GLIB). GLIB exposure outside the surrender charge period increased 34% in this edition over 2018.
Study highlights include:
Detailed study results, including company-level analytics, are available for purchase by participating companies. For further information, please contact Timothy Paris, CEO.
In response to client demand, we would like begin the process of gathering policyholder behavior and mortality data for products beyond VA and FIA, as follows:
If you have not already received the data request templates, please contact us. We request your data submissions by March 31, 2019. Pending your data submissions and purchase commitments, we will circle back with you to let you know what studies we can proceed with and when.
We look forward to broadening our relationship with you through these additional studies and corresponding behavioral modeling. Please contact Tim (firstname.lastname@example.com) or any of us at Ruark with any questions.
Actuaries' Club of Hartford & Springfield meetingEquity-Based Insurance Guarantees ConferenceSOA Annual MeetingValuation Actuary Symposium
Thanks to all of these organizations, and I appreciated the attendee questions and discussions. Each presentation was at least a little different, but this one from the ACHS meeting is representative of the type of insights that our industry experience studies give to our clients, and how we demonstrate the value of our work + industry data in developing customized behavioral models that help insurance companies better manage policyholder behavior and mortality/longevity risks for annuities.
We appreciate this recognition! Magazine and Ruark profile (p34)
Ruark Consulting today released the results of its fall 2018 studies of variable annuity (VA) policyholder behavior. The studies, which examine the factors driving surrender behavior, partial withdrawals, and annuitization, were based on experience from 13.3 million policyholders spanning the period January, 2008 through June, 2018. Twenty-four variable annuity writers participated in the study, comprising $840 billion in account value as of June, 2018.

Kamagra For Erectile Dysfunction – Online in South Africa
You might be familiar with Viagra, and if so you know that it is a pill used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. However, for those who do not like swallowing pills, there is now a very cheap and effective alternative available. Kamagra oral jelly is what you have been waiting for! Its main active ingredient is the same as Viagra, sildenafil, however it is not in a pill form. Instead, it comes in a small sachet that includes jelly which can be squeezed directly into the mouth or onto a spoon which you would then consume. You can get Kamagra oral jelly in a variety of flavors, with some of the more popular ones being pineapple, cherry, and chocolate. There are over sixteen flavors to choose from though so it is easy to find one that suits your palate. You can order Kamagra oral jelly directly from an online pharmacy in Australia. You will find that the prices are very competitive and surprisingly low, making Kamagra oral jelly a very affordable alternative to Viagra that works just as well if not better.
Buy Kamagra Online in South Africa
Once you select your dosage, the amount you want, and the flavor, you will be asked to submit your private and secure payment online. Then, once that has been processed your order will b e shipped directly to your home, which is a very convenient and safe way to get your medication.
Just like Viagra, Kamagra oral jelly has some mild side effects that might be bothersome for some people but usually are not a big deal. Kamagra oral jelly might cause nasal congestion, a stuffy nose, or a headache. Some people experience upset stomach or indigestion. You can take Kamagra oral jelly with some water or food, or you can just take it by itself. It's best to take it about fifteen minutes to an hour prior to your sexual encounter. It can work very rapidly due to the method of ingestion, so keep this in mind. You will then have a window of about six hours during which the drug will produce its effects. It will cause blood flow to increase to the penis so that you can achieve and maintain a long lasting erection and have your very satisfying sexual encounter.
If you start having side effects that are bothersome, you should quit taking Kamagra oral jelly. Before you start taking it, you should sit down with a medical professional and go over your entire medical history including any previous conditions and any medications that you are currently taking. This is because there are certain conditions that it is not safe to take Kamagra oral jelly with. Same with medications – there are some that do not mix safely with Kamagra oral jelly, so please be sure to be thorough when you are conducting this review. This is to avoid a negative reaction that could be unsafe or uncomfortable.
So once you have determined that Kamagra oral jelly is right for you, you can go online to the pharmacy in Australia and select your dosage, flavour, and amount. You will receive your package promptly and discreetly so you can eagerly begin your treatment! You will get tracking information once your package has been shipped to you.

Say a prayer for Leni Robredo — Erin Tañada
In the next few days, Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo will be making possibly the biggest decision in her life — whether or not she will run alongside Liberal Party presidential bet Mar Roxas in next year's elections.
Former Quezon Rep. Erin Tañada, who is part of the Leni Robredo for Vice President Movement, has called on the public to pray for Robredo as she ponders on her political plans.
"Will her choice be Congresswoman, Senator or Vice President? Leni, whatever your choice will be, we will respect your decision. Let us pray for her and the country," Tañada captioned a snap with Robredo.
Roxas earlier asked Robredo to be his running mate in the 2016 elections after Senator Grace Poe turned down his offer and decided to pursue her own presidential bid. Robredo, first term congresswoman, said she needed time to study administration party's offer and consult with her family.

As you may recall, we wrote late last month that Pennsylvania's first licensed medical marijuana dispensary opened in the Lehigh Valley and expected to have products for sale by February or March of 2018. In the following weeks, a number of dispensaries throughout the state have opened or announced their openings in the near future. And now, courtesy of Governor Wolf, we have perhaps the biggest announcement of all: medical marijuana will be available at certain Pennsylvania dispensaries starting this week. By the end of this weekend, medical marijuana will be available at certain dispensaries in Allegheny, Bucks, Butler, Chester, Cumberland, and Northampton Counties.
To date, more than 17,000 individuals have registered with the state to become approved for medical marijuana, nearly 4,000 of which have been certified by approved physicians. Nearly 400 physicians have been approved to certify patients for medical marijuana, and the state has sought more doctors to register for the program.
With more licensed dispensaries set to open throughout Pennsylvania in the coming weeks and months, employers must be prepared to deal with the numerous issues relating to medical marijuana in the workplace. For questions about this or any other labor and employment topic, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our Labor and Employment Department.

I finally fulfilled my childhood dream of owning a horse.
But it was a steep learning curve
Posted on 16.01.2020
When I was a kid, all I wanted for Christmas was a pony.
Just after my 52nd birthday, Santa finally delivered.
I'm now the ridiculously excited owner of a sweet-natured, 10-year-old mare named Reyn.
How did a city slicker who grew up in the suburbs end up happily stomping through muddy paddocks with dirt under her nails and poo on her boots, my friends and family have wondered.
It's my mid-life crisis.
"Better than me running off with a younger bloke," I tell my poor suffering husband.
"I think a new bloke would be cheaper," he shoots back.
It is an expensive hobby, but have you priced golf clubs, bikes and boats lately?
I didn't just saddle up on a whim.
There have been moments on this ride into horse ownership when I've asked myself, "What the hell was I thinking?".

A little while ago a 56-page document slithered to the internet through a leak that listed a lot of the details pertaining to a new console listed at the Xbox 720. The document included a Powerpoint that went through the new specs of the system in detail. Today, the sources who listed the document are saying that they've been contacted by a law firm that represents Microsoft and they're asking that these documents be removed from the net.
Scribd was the first site to list information about the leak, which was removed at the request of a law firm by the name of Covington Burling LLP, who so happens to have Microsoft listed as one of its clients. Dropbox was hit as well, being asked to remove any content leading back to the leak, on behalf of Microsoft. With all of this legal business going on, it's hard to believe that these documents that were leaked aren't legitimate. At first I was one of those in belief that someone faked some documents to get the community spinning, but now it doesn't seem so.
If you're wondering what the documents listed about the supposed Xbox 720, here's a brief summary:
The Xbox 720 will allow backwards compatibility of all Xbox 360 games, though not original Xbox games. It will release with four to six times more visual power than the current console has. A new updated version of the Xbox Kinect will come packaged with all of the new consoles, which will add new support for up to four players at once, as well as improved voice recognition. The 720 will include Blu-ray support, USB 3.0 inputs, HDMI compatability, and built-in Wi-Fi using the 802.11n standard. Finally the entire console is listed to release at the price of $299 sometime in 2013.
Personally I don't see Microsoft making this happen anytime soon. With what they've shown during E3, they've remained tight-lipped about any new hardware, and maybe it's been on purpose. The company wants to focus more on its software rather than following in Nintendo's footsteps. Either way, these documents do list a console that sounds pretty cool, and if Microsoft plans to release something like this I think it's headed in the right direction.

Production Procedure
Being a regular consumable item in spinning mill/ textile mills the process is generally considered very simple. However, tremendous technical skill is required in the making of paper tube. Following is a summary of the process involved in the manufacturing of paper tube.
The first step involves Slitting of tubes and cones. The paper board is cut according to the size and conicity required by the customers.
After grinding, winding is done at the spindles of the same conicity.
After winding drying takes place in controlled temperatures.
By the process of velvetting, rough finishing is given by a 152 mm emery belt. Grinding of edges is done and then paste is applied on the paper tube.
After velveting, the base of paper tube is cut. Bottom cuts are given as per customers' request, in the form of V cut, U cut, Y cut& moon cut etc.
Polishing is done as the next step.
A small v shaped indentation is made at the bottom of cones. This process is called notching.
The paper tubes are weighed before dispatching. The weighing range of ± 2 to 3 gms is maintained at our plant.
After the weighing process is over, sorting of cones is undertaken. Non- conforming products are rejected at this stage.
Before the final dispatch to customers is made, stringent inspection is carried out. At this stage 5% samples are tested in order to make ourselves very much confident of our quality.
Paper tubes are packed in varied sizes according to specifications provided by customer.

Legislation would also provide technical assistance to growers seeking to sell to schools
A bipartisan bill that would provide school districts across the state with a reimbursement for feeding students healthy, local foods through farm-to-school initiatives was introduced in the Minnesota Legislature last Thursday.
District 1 State Senator Mark Johnson (R-East Grand Forks) is a co-author of the legislation which would also provide technical assistance to growers seeking to sell to schools.
"This legislation is a win-win for our schools and farms, and it gives our children the opportunity to have local fresh produce during their meals," said Senator Mark Johnson. "With many children in our district, and across the state, relying on reduced-price meals, we're giving them an opportunity to learn about healthy eating and instilling them with good diet habits that can help them later in life."
According to a 2017 study, more than 1.6 million Minnesotans lack access to healthy food.
Farm to School programs provide children with more opportunities to eat locally grown, healthy foods, which promote growth, nutrition, and positive lifelong eating habits.
"Making the connection about where food comes from early is important," said Jami Lee, who, as Child Nutrition Services Manager at the Tri-Valley Opportunity Council Head Start Program, has experience sourcing food from local farms. "Not only do kids in our program eat better, they also have a deeper understanding of how food is produced and a real connection to the farmers in our community."
Farm to School initiatives support growers and the broader local economy as well. Farmers participating in these programs gain access to new, stable markets to supplement their incomes and help them maintain their livelihoods.
Increased demand for the processors and distributors required to run Farm to School programs provides an economic boost for local communities.
In fact, according to the National Farm to School Network, every dollar invested in farm to school programs generates $2.16 to the local economy.
"Farm to School provided the income we need to grow and stabilize our farm business," said Ben Doherty, a Land Stewardship Project Member who, along with Erin Johnson, owns and operates Open Hands Farm in Northfield. "We have been able to triple our business, hire more employees and support other local businesses."

High resolution of colour vision, but low contrast sensitivity in a diurnal raptor

Abstract english
Animals are thought to use achromatic signals to detect small (or distant) objects and chromatic signals for large (or nearby) objects. While the spatial resolution of the achromatic channel has been widely studied, the spatial resolution of the chromatic channel has rarely been estimated. Using an operant conditioning method, we determined (i) the achromatic contrast sensitivity function and (ii) the spatial resolution of the chromatic channel of a diurnal raptor, the Harris's hawk Parabuteo unicinctus The maximal spatial resolution for achromatic gratings was 62.3 c deg-1, but the contrast sensitivity was relatively low (10.8-12.7). The spatial resolution for isoluminant red-green gratings was 21.6 c deg-1-lower than that of the achromatic channel, but the highest found in the animal kingdom to date. Our study reveals that Harris's hawks have high spatial resolving power for both achromatic and chromatic vision, suggesting the importance of colour vision for foraging. By contrast, similar to other bird species, Harris's hawks have low contrast sensitivity possibly suggesting a trade-off with chromatic sensitivity. The result is interesting in the light of the recent finding that double cones-thought to mediate high-resolution vision in birds-are absent in the central fovea of raptors.

Singing Class Notes and Materials
Circle Song
From the work of Bobby McFerrin and his vocal orchestra – Voicestra http://www.bobbymcferrin.com
and Rhiannon http://www.RhiannonMusic.com
Circle Song
One person gives out repeating parts to the groups.
Find parts by first singing what's inside, then refining to find a motor part. Harmony is good. Look for spaces in the motor part to interlock new parts.
Find parts by first solo-ing over what is already created.
Play with rhythm – try putting 3 over 4 or try something in an odd rhythm like 5/4, 7/8, 9/8
Play with tonality – use some unusual harmonies, try notes that may not be the "first choices"
Play with language – try using some sounds you don't always use; experiment with different consonants; imagine you're speaking a language you don't know but have a sound in your ear eg. french, russian, italian, etc.
The person giving out the parts can then solo over the foundation they have created.
Solo-ist can then step out and let another person solo and/or create new parts…

When he taught this song, he told the young members of SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Co-ordinating Committee) that: "This is the easiest song you'll ever learn, and the hardest song you'll ever sing."
* Imagine singing it to someone or some people you love.
* Imagine singing it to someone who is very difficult for you to love
* Imagine someone you love, and someone you find hard to love together, and imagine singing it to them.

1. Action Plan
1. The National Dementia Declaration lists seven outcomes that the DAA are seeking to achieve for people with dementia and their carers. How would you describe your organisation's role in delivering better outcomes for people with dementia and their carers?
Bilfinger GVA are a specialist property advisor. As consultants we advise on a broad aspect of property used by members of the public each day. Leveraging our expertise we are well placed to support the creation of better buildings and places for people with dementia and their carers.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
Our staff are very engaged with our corporate charity partners, one of which is the Alzheimers Society. Finding suitable opportunities to leverage our skills to support dementia is a challenge. Our teams are engaged but we are unaware of the opportunities which we can help make a difference.
Member websitehttp://www.gva.co.uk/
2. Actions
Introduce Dementia Connect to the Bilfinger GVA intranet
The tool provides a comprehensive and easy to use online service directory for anyone affected by dementia. Service providers can list their services there and for businesses they provide a Dementia Connect widget that can be downloaded to company websites (in our case LiveTalk). This would mean staff, once made aware of it, can go directly there rather than having to search on-line.

Creation of Dementia Friendly Buildings
As property managers we look after a wide range of buildings used by members of the public each day.
During World Green Building Week (19th -23rd September 2016) we asked all our Facilities Managers to complete the "Dementia Friendly Physical Environments Checklist". We are now taking action to improve certain properties.
Next steps will be to provide bespoke dementia friendly design and dementia friend training to key staff.

To engage as many members of staff in the campaign as we can, we are going to ask everybody to dress down in blue (the Alzheimer's Society's corporate colour) on Friday 19 May to show their support, and pay a £2 donation for doing so. We will also be using our intranet to highlight to staff how applying the principles of good design can create inclusive environments to help people with dementia and other cognitive impairments.

BAILEY — Rookie volunteer firefighters from Nash and Wilson counties got a chance to learn about fire behavior up close and personal during ongoing training exercises last week.
The three-week course for new firefighters in their first couple of years is the first of its kind in Bailey in more than a decade, said Bailey Fire Chief Chad Bissette.
The Rock Ridge Volunteer Fire Department loaned its mobile burn unit to Bailey so new firefighters from the Bailey, Battleboro, Rock Ridge, Sharpsburg and West Mount departments could experience firsthand how blazes spread and smoke moves inside a fire-engulfed structure.
The unit, basically a metal storage container mounted on a trailer, allows firefighters to suit up in full gear and watch burning wood in an enclosed area. For about 15 minutes, the novice firefighters can see flames and feel heat as the controlled fire consumes the plywood and pallet interior infrastructure of the unit all around them from inception until the fire flashes over, Bissette said.
Other aspects of the course include orientation, safety measures, ladders, water supply and nozzles and hoses. After completion of the training and passing a test, firefighters will have the needed essentials to safely fight fires as a volunteer.
Bissette, in his first year as chief and 17th year with the department, said it's important for firefighters in southern Nash County and nearby towns in Wilson County to train together because Rocky Mount and Wilson are difficult for them to get to for training, and they will be working together in emergencies.
The current course has 14 trainees. Bissette said he hopes to run similar training sessions every year or so.

Crosville – Bristol RESL6G – OFM 2E – ERG 2
Crosville Motor Services Ltd
Bristol RESL6G
Crosville was the first to operate the then latest version of the Bristol RESL with shortened wheelbase and extended front overhang giving a wider entrance door arrangement. These were also the first with this design of ECW body characterised by the shallow flat windscreens.
Crosville put this batch of six into service in July 1967 on the long Rail Replacement service D94 between Wrexham and Barmouth. This served a sparsely populated area with Llangollen, Corwen, Bala and Dolgellau as the intermediate towns of any size. These six were synonymous with this route for many years but here in 1977 is ERG 2 in NBC days crossing the Cambrian Coast Railway line at Fairbourne on the S28 Tywyn to Dolgellau route. The NBC 'Local Coach' version of the leaf green livery with white upperworks looks pretty smart.

I think these were the only dual purpose RESLs in the THC group of companies, although Midland General famously had two RESHs. Some of these vehicles were used elsewhere when brand new; ERG 2 was new to Llandudno Junction, and ERG 3 and 4 were at Caernarfon, although they soon migrated to the D94. Around 1974, A longer example, ERG 272 was transferred to Dolgellau Depot for use on the D94, and ERG2 was then used on other services from Dolgellau as shown here.
When new, these vehicles were painted cream with a green waistband, and they looked superb in that livery. ERG 3 is magnificently preserved in that livery.

As far as the shorter length RE was concerned, the RESL seems to have been the almost universal choice for bus work but I wonder about it's merits for dual purpose use, particularly if some of the front seats faced sideways. However, Crosville seemed to like them and as Ian says, used them on some long services although I'm not too sure about the prospect of sitting rather low down or sideways at the front for perhaps a couple of hours or so.
Midland General had a couple of short REs with this type of body but on the RESH chassis, with 43 dual purpose seats, all facing forward. Surprisingly, I believe they were the only ones bodied by ECW.

text: Launch\nSlideshowFor a half-century, the Vietnam War has taken huge bites of Richard Eisenberg's soul, plaguing him with memories of battles fought and friends lost. He certainly didn't want to go. In 1960, he graduated Thomas Jefferson High School and bounced between jobs at banks in Manhattan before reaching Vietnam. "I wasn't doing a whole lot with my life," he says now. So, hoping to pre-empt the inevitable draft notice, he enlisted in the Army, took eight weeks of basic training at Fort Dix, N.J., then was off to Fort Gordon, Ga., for another two months to become a military policeman. That, he figured, might keep him stateside.It didn't. Eisenberg got to Vietnam in August 1964. He'd return, shattered, the following summer.Lots of vets have rituals to help ease the painful memories: regular visits to the memorial in Washington, drinking sessions with VFW or American Legion buddies. Eisenberg's ritual is different. He says Kaddish for a fallen friend—one who died not by a bullet but of a heart attack, a military chaplain whom he met just four times.Every December, Eisenberg, 72, lights a candle on the yahrzeit of the chaplain, a rabbi. Standing in his kitchen those evenings for all these years—first in Brooklyn, then after moving to Denver—he speaks a few words to his wife and two daughters about the rabbi and his loss. He recites a prayer and strikes a match.Fifty years since the rabbi's death and a century since his birth, the rabbi's light flickers in Eisenberg's soul. But lately the ritual has new heft. For the rabbi's memory led Eisenberg on a journey, two years ago, across the country, bringing new people into his life, men and women who, in their own very different way, loved the rabbi, too.***Early October 1964: Someone shook Pvt. Richard Eisenberg's shoulder, waking him from an afternoon slumber in the tin hut he called home."Who the hell are you?" Eisenberg blurted. He looked up to see the stripes and insignia on the visitor's shoulder, signifying a lieutenant colonel, a chaplain.The visitor was Rabbi Meir Engel, a thin, bespectacled, no-nonsense, witty man who retained a trace of his sabra accent from his native Tel Aviv. Engel had come to the U.S. Army's air base at Soc Trang, along the Mekong River Delta at Vietnam's southern tip, because that's what military chaplains did.Engel loved his job. He'd arrived in Vietnam that summer, right around the time Eisenberg did. He'd fought in the Haganah para-military organization and departed pre-state Israel for New York in 1937 to attend the Jewish Theological Seminary. But Engel left his first pulpit, in Philadelphia, to volunteer in the U.S. military, and he was sent to postwar Japan. He returned to the United States to lead congregations in Greensboro, N.C., and Beverly, Mass., but gave up synagogue life for the chaplaincy, which included serving the Army Command in Heidelberg, Germany, then South Korea and two posts stateside."One could see a glow in his eyes and sense the pride in his voice as he described the hurdles he had overcome in order to serve effectively in Vietnam," wrote a fellow chaplain, Aryeh Lev, in 1964, of a retreat they attended in Tokyo.Engel "was filled with the joy one derives from feeling needed," Lev wrote.Standing in the private's hut that day, Engel was needed to deliver a singular message: Eisenberg, write home."He read me the riot act on the responsibility I have to my parents and my sister. It made me want to cry, to tell you the God's honest truth," Eisenberg says now. "I was not being a dutiful son—not writing home. It had a lot to do—I'm not going to lie—with alcohol and drugs. I didn't want to be there."Soon it was Engel's typed letter that reached Eisenberg's parents, Samuel and Ida, in Flatbush, a Brooklyn neighborhood. It was dated Oct. 16, 1964.My dear Mr. & Mrs. Eisenberg,\n\n\n\nI should like to introduce myself to you. I am the recently assigned Jewish chaplain to the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam.\n\n\n\nMy reason for writing you is that I met your son, Pvt. Richard Eisenberg, during my recent visit to his place of assignment at Soc Trang. I visit there once a month, and am happy to see that he finds the time to meet with the only rabbi stationed there.\n\n\n\nI am a father and know of the fears and anxieties parents harbor for their children. It is because of this knowledge that I am writing you to alleviate your concern for your son. I saw Richard, he looks well, is hard working and is counting time till his return to the bosom of his family.\n\n\n\nShould there be anything I can do for him or for you, just let me know and I shall do my utmost to comply with your request.The Eisenbergs had made plenty of requests already—pestering the Pentagon, a member of Congress and even, so family lore has it, President Lyndon Johnson—in a vain attempt to ascertain how their son was faring. Now, finally, they knew something.***Later that month: A Cobra gunship touched down at Soc Trang, a small base surrounded by miles upon miles of rice paddies. Wounded soldiers were carried out hurriedly.Eisenberg squatted at the helicopter's door. He held dual jobs: two days on, two days off as a military policeman; two days on, two days off flying as a door gunner. The latter was a task Eisenberg volunteered for to lessen his colleagues' load, but the job was perilous. Door gunners trained their M-60 machine guns on threats that could bring down the helicopter ferrying troops into combat and picking them up a week later—or retrieving "whatever was left of them" by then, Eisenberg explains now.This was a "whatever was left of them" trip, and the commotion on the tarmac was as heavy as the rain then falling. A lone figure wearing a camouflage poncho rushed up. Eisenberg didn't know who he was. Then recognition came."I'll get to you later, Richard," Engel told him as he ran off with a casualty. Recalling the scene nearly a half-century later, Eisenberg corrects himself. "No—he said, 'I'll get to you later, Reuven.' He used my Hebrew name."Continue reading: Writing homeLater, the two men stood under a canopy outside the base's hospital, the rain still pounding. The chaplain gave the soldier a hug. "You're doing a good job," the chaplain said.The gesture was timely. Eisenberg was in a sour mood."It's not a good day," he said, "when your guys are hurt."***November 1964: The hurt was Mrs. Eisenberg's back in Brooklyn, and on this day the chaplain who came to convey it barged into Eisenberg's tent and pulled rank.The lieutenant colonel ordered the private to write a letter home.Nov. 20, 1964\n\n\n\nMy dear Mrs. Eisenberg:\n\n\n\nI had delayed answering your letter of 3 November, 1964, until after my monthly visit to Soc Trang. I returned from there yesterday and am happy to inform you that I saw Richard and spent some time with him.\n\n\n\nI hope that you do not mind, but I had a "fatherly" talk with him concerning the importance of writing home regularly. I minced no words, for as a father of a son about the same age as Richard, I felt that it might do him some good. I also left with him a Hanukkah menorah and Hanukkah candles as well as a procedure sheet [about] how to light the candles and what blessings to recite. These, the menorah and candles, were sent to me for distribution to the Jewish men by the Jewish Welfare Board.\n\n\n\nAs I see Richard once a month, I shall continue to report to you. If there is anything else you would like me to do, just let me know.Like the earlier one, this letter was typed on the Military Assistance Command's stationery. Both concluded with Rabbi Engel's signature, but this one added a handwritten flourish.Enclosed is a letter written by your son. I told him that I wanted to enclose a letter from him to you with mine.Engel's intervention was personal. He couldn't fathom someone cutting himself off from family. Colleagues would remember his longing for his wife and two sons. In a memorial book published after Engel's death, Lt. Col. John T. Calter, a fellow chaplain, told of running a retreat in Vietnam for Catholic soldiers at which several lauded Engel. Calter saw Engel soon after the retreat."I don't want to flatter you, Meir, but our Catholics are all singing your praises," Calter said.Engel responded: "Please don't worry about [not] flattering me today. I can use some. I miss my wife, Myra, and my morale is low."A Jewish soldier, Earl Kulp, an assistant program officer, wrote this of Engel in the memorial book: "No man in Vietnam felt his separation from his family more deeply [or] counted the remaining days of his separation more fervently and loudly."That likely explained Engel's twisting Eisenberg's arm to write the letter. It arrived, together with Engel's, in Flatbush in a now-long-yellowed envelope, franked postage-free. The Eisenbergs kept it, then Richard inherited it, now one of his daughters has it, and eventually her sons will get it."He sat down with me, like a father, for a couple of hours, telling me how important it was for a Jewish son to respect his family," Eisenberg recalls. "Me, a 22-year-old punk from Brooklyn, N.Y. I did not learn that lesson. Rabbi Engel taught me that lesson."***Early December 1964: The rabbi sat beside Eisenberg in the office of the base's commander, Maj. Joseph Levinson. Engel's visit, like the previous ones, had boosted the base's Jewish population to three.Levinson sat at his desk, Engel and Eisenberg on the couch opposite. The trio schmoozed for 10 minutes, but Eisenberg felt out of place among officers. He made to leave."Sir, I think it's about time I got back to my duty," Eisenberg said, rising."Carry on," Levinson said."No, you should stay a little longer," Engel said, coaxing him back onto the sofa.Decades later, Eisenberg scratches his head, reviewing Engel's response.He comes up with this: "It was because I was one of his boys, one of his Jewish boys in Vietnam. I sat back down, and he put his arm around me. Just chit-chatting. The rabbi made me feel I belonged in the room."The trio remained 20 minutes more. Engel asked Eisenberg, "Are you writing your family on a regular basis?""Yes," Eisenberg replied.***Later that month: Levinson rushed up to Eisenberg on the tarmac."Why weren't you at the service?" the commander asked."What service?" Eisenberg responded."Rabbi Engel passed away," he was told.Continue reading: DevastatedIn the early hours of Dec. 16, Engel had died of a heart attack at the U.S. Naval Hospital, in Saigon. He was 50.Eisenberg slumped in shock, then anger at his commander. He still can't fathom Levinson's neglecting to convey such crucial news when it was fresh, when he could have attended Engel's funeral, said a proper goodbye.Not being there for Engel, when Engel was there for him—the pain torments Eisenberg still."I was devastated," Eisenberg says now, "and I carried that devastation with me all my time in Vietnam, and since then."***Sept. 13, 2012: Eisenberg and his sister, Ellen Racioppi, began the five-hour drive from Staten Island, N.Y., to Washington, D.C. The day before, they'd visited their parents' graves, Sept. 14 being Ida's birthday. Eisenberg, a retired postal worker, returns east once a year, but this trip was different. He'd come to make his peace at another grave, of sorts, one he'd never brought himself to visit. And he came prepared.The siblings reached the nation's capital and headed directly to a pointy-tipped stretch of black granite on the National Mall. Eisenberg searched the log book nearby. Of 58,195 dead—one. He found a name in the book and stepped to the reflective stone that is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.Meir Engel.Eisenberg touched the letters carved into the stone on Panel 1E, Line 77. He contemplated, etched the letters onto a paper.He knelt a moment and placed an envelope on the ground.Rabbi Engel—you will never know how much you meant to me, read the handwritten, capital-block letters on the inside of the greeting card that came illustrated with a Jewish-star charm.From the time we first met, you holding me by the neck and ordering me to sit down and write my family, to all those visits on the base for me. It has taken 48 years to get this out of me. Though this is a long time coming and you are long gone, know this: You are never, never—ever—forgotten.Eisenberg had written his name and unit, the 560th Military Police Company of the 121st Aviation Company, on the card. To the Engel family, the card continued, beneath a hand-drawn line:I knew Meir all too briefly in Vietnam.\n\n\n\nI only wish that I made an effort to contact you sooner. I want you all to know what a wonderful and caring man he was, and I am sorry for your loss. The world was a better place while he was with us. I know that the rabbi would be glad to know that I am at peace now, and I hope that you are as well.***Dad did it."He finally had the courage to see D.C., the Vietnam Wall," Dayna Eisenberg Perez thought that afternoon. He was foremost in her mind as she sat before her home computer in suburban Denver, the day's work teaching English as a second language to high-school students over."OK, I'll search again," she thought, typing MEIR ENGEL into a search engine.Not much came up in her spotty attempts over the years. She'd long wanted to see what Engel, the man of legend, looked like, learn about his career and whether he'd left behind a family—fsomething. Always—fnothing.This day, though, she got scores of hits, mainly Jewish-newspaper articles about a ceremony nearly a year earlier at Arlington National Cemetery, a mile from where her father was likely standing with his sister that very moment.Jewish Chaplains Memorial—that's what the articles called the rounded-off plaque mounted on stone. On Chaplains Hill in the country's most revered graveyard, on the banks of the Potomac, a new monument had been dedicated on Oct. 24, 2011, joining those memorializing the 150 Protestant and the 65 Catholic chaplains who'd died in service. The Jewish plaque, plain but elegant, said tons by saying so little: just 14 names, 14 dates of death, 14 titles of rabbi. The men represented the Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox branches of Judaism and had died while serving the U.S. military during the period running from World War II through the Korean War and on to Vietnam.Only one of the 14 served in all three wars.Meir Engel.Continue reading: Making contactThe program the Jewish Chaplains Council published for the ceremony stated that Engel earned an award for his service in each war, along with two Bronze Stars, two Army Commendation Medals and B'nai B'rith's Four Chaplains Award. One commendation medal was for serving at Fort Dix, where he remained until 1962, two years before Eisenberg got there for basic training.Four of the men memorialized on the new plaque died during the Vietnam War. But calculating how many American Jewish military chaplains served in Vietnam then is "tricky," says Albert Slomovitz, author of the book The Fighting Rabbis: Jewish Military Chaplains and American History, because some may have been based elsewhere, like in Japan, and dropped in periodically or were reservists called up for short-term service.Those based in Vietnam and on full-time active duty were "probably under a minyan's worth," he says, fewer than 10.Eisenberg Perez didn't know this, but she saw the rabbi's name mentioned in several articles—his surname, anyway. That's because a man named David Engel spoke at the Arlington ceremony, but his connection wasn't stated.Eisenberg Perez guessed at David Engel's identity. She went onto Facebook and typed his name. A posting she read mentioned his being Meir's son."Oh, my God!" she thought. "He has living sons!"***Oct. 11, 2012: Eisenberg had returned from Washington. He showed off his pictures of the Vietnam wall, of his hand resting against it, of Engel's name. He told his family about leaving the card, knowing that no Engel kin would see it. Just as well that he'd made copies beforehand, the better to reread the emotions he had difficulty expressing."You're never going to believe this," daughter told father as they stood in her kitchen. "Rabbi Engel has living children, and I have made contact with one of the sons."Eisenberg stopped by most days after picking up his grandsons Andrew, then 8, and Ryan, 4, from school while their parents were at work. Eisenberg Perez had just come home and delivered this bombshell.Her father felt like he would pass out."Oh, my God! Oh, my God!" he said.He asked her to confirm that this could be true.That night, Eisenberg Perez found David Engel's home address online. Her fingers glided across the keyboard, typing what she later called "a crazy letter" of introduction.The opening rambled with excitement, but Eisenberg Perez got herself on point.Your father got my dad through the toughest of times in war, and when he died, a part of my dad died, too.She went on:Your father was a true hero and provided support, comfort and faith to Jewish soldiers in a time of war. My sister and I, growing up, would ask our father to tell us stories along with the pictures that he has from Vietnam, and in every story was mention of the chaplain, Meir Engel. Every year, my father lights a memorial candle in memory of your dad. My dad still has the old green "Jewish Bible" (as the military called it) that the Army provided all the men and women. He told me it's the same one that he and Rabbi Engel prayed from.And this, of David's possibly being Meir's son:I got goose bumps thinking that I might be able to get in touch with you and tell my dad about the information that I have found! My heart almost stopped as I kept reading the articles. … I know that my dad would be honored to talk to you and tell you stories about your dad and to connect with you.\n\n\n\nI would love to hear back from you! Either way, please let me know that you are the right person or that you are not.***Oct. 15, 2012: In Shelton, Conn., David Engel had a long day at work manufacturing promotional products. He opened the mail, stunned. Finally, he typed a response and emailed it to Eisenberg Perez.I just arrived home and read your letter. It was incredible. Yes. I am proudly the son of the late Rabbi Meir Engel (Z"L). I would very much like to speak with you.Forty-one minutes later, she wrote back.I am so happy to hear that you are the son of the late Rabbi Engel. This is truly incredible and I am almost at a loss for words in disbelief. What an amazing story!She told him she could speak by telephone after work.The next morning, David telephoned his brother. "I'm going to forward something to you," he told his brother, Rafael "Ray" Engel, who'd just arrived in his office at the University of Pittsburgh, where he is a professor of social work. "Make sure you're alone when you read it." David forwarded his exchange with Eisenberg Perez.David was 20 and studying international economics at Berkeley when his father died. Ray was just 8, but he still recalls playing chess with his dad. Ray also remembers a drive they took along northern California's famed 17-Mile Drive, back when Meir served at Fort Ord."You can't help but remember stuff like that," Ray says now.He's carried those images throughout life, and in telling of them and others Ray passed on bits of his father to his wife Sandy and then to their daughter Yael, now 23, and to their son, 21, who carries a familiar name: Meir Engel.Ray and David kept the hundreds of letters their dad wrote to them and to their late mother. They also have a box filled with expressions of condolence sent by soldiers whose lives Meir had touched. Gen. William Westmoreland, commander of the U.S. military in Vietnam, wrote. And one letter was from Navy Cdr. Ann Richman, the chief nurse at the naval hospital in Saigon. She knew Meir well from attending Friday night services regularly. She'd been off duty the night Meir admitted himself with chest pains, but was summoned and arrived just after he died.He did not suffer, Richman wrote. He had been given medication to relieve the discomfort, and the doctor and nurse attending him said he was resting very quietly at the time he slipped away. I want to assure you that everything medically was done to save him, but it was out of our hands … I had my prayer book with me and I said a little prayer at the bedside.\n\nMeir's last written words were directed to David, just an hour before taking ill. On Dec. 15, Meir was up late in his room in Saigon's Majestic Hotel, where many officers stayed. He was reading Howard Fast's The Naked God. He found the book profound and, in a five-page letter to David, suggested that he read the book, too, although he couldn't explain precisely why.Meir abruptly turned personal.My son, you have no idea how proud I am of your sense of order and law, your sensitivity of right and wrong, your desire for due process rather than the rule of the mob, he wrote with a thick-tipped blue pen, continuing for a few more sentences about rights and the ends justifying the means before realizing that "I am rambling" and "it is tomorrow" already.I felt like communing with you, my son, whom I love with all my being and all my fiber. God bless you.\n\nAnd then, using the Hebrew word, father signed off from son.Abba.From the medical doctors' notes, David Engel learned that right after penning those final words, his father walked to the hospital. At about 1:30 a.m., a half-hour after being admitted, he died.Continue reading: GenerationsBut David Engel had never read anything like this—sentiments typed by a soldier's child who related the profound effect his dad had on her dad.After reading Eisenberg Perez's letter that David had scanned and emailed to him, Ray forwarded it to his wife and children. He then wrote to Eisenberg Perez.There are no words that I can say about what this letter means, let alone knowing how your father continues to honor the memory of my dad, my Abba. He died when I was eight, so I have only the memories of a young boy.\n\n\n\nFor a long time growing up, emotionally I could not understand why my Abba had to go to this place called Vietnam and why he never came home—even though rationally and intellectually I understood. Your letter and the memories of your dad speak volumes to help me answer the emotional part.Ray's students sometimes approach him at graduation to say they wouldn't have received a diploma without him. The compliments gratify him, and they're in the moment. "But 48 years later?" he says of Eisenberg Perez's reaching out. "It's overwhelming to think of the impact people can have on one another and how that persists over time. It's remarkable to me that [someone who] had very little contact with my dad—some, very meaningful, over a four-month period of time—that this is so meaningful to them."David spoke with Eisenberg Perez that afternoon, and they did so many more times over the ensuing months. Eisenberg Perez and Ray communicated once by Skype— the first time Ray, a non-techie, used the video-calling system.Still, writing, talking and viewing are not seeing.David had a business trip scheduled for Las Vegas in January. The Engels would visit the Eisenbergs then.The members of the second generation would meet.The third generation, too.***Jan. 12, 2013: It developed in a flash: the discovery, emails, phone calls, planning the gathering. It all was so exciting.And then this.Eisenberg was hospitalized with chronic intestinal problems. He underwent emergency surgery.It happened just as the Engels prepared to leave for Denver.Eisenberg recuperated in a private room. He was up for the visit. On a shelf lay his little green Bible from Vietnam."I wanted to pay my respects so badly, and I had no way to do it," he says. "And here, 48 years later, this opportunity comes and gets dropped in my lap."Everything happened so fast. They wanted to come and see me, which threw me for a loop. I knew what I had to do—I needed to make peace with them, and I needed to tell them how much their father meant to me."Eisenberg's voice cracks, and the telephone line goes silent momentarily. He apologizes."Every time I think of it, I get so upset, that I forgot to tell them something. I should've asked [them] to pray with me, but I didn't—to please say a prayer with me for your father."Eisenberg had worried he didn't look respectable in front of the rabbi's sons and their children, too. He was hooked up to oxygen, tape on his nose, medicated."I wanted to tell them how much I loved their father and grandfather," he says.Three generations of Eisenbergs and Engels had crammed into room 242 of Parker Adventist Hospital, near Denver. Dayna greeted the Engels in the lobby. David wrapped her in a big hug. The Engel-Eisenberg embrace was on. They rode up in the elevator.For the Engels: Ray, Sandy, Yael, and Meir had flown in from Pittsburgh; David and his son Jonathan from Connecticut, and his daughter Joanna from California. David's wife, Sharon, couldn't make it.For the Eisenbergs: Richard and his wife Jean, and Dayna and her husband Juan with their two sons. Dayna's sister, Robyn Wisler, arrived late.That made 14 people in the room. They all wanted to be there, if not there in the hospital. David told Dayna on the elevator ride that it didn't matter whether the gathering was at Robyn's house, as planned, in a hospital room, or even in a bathroom—the main thing was their being together.Dayna and Richard spoke first, telling why Meir Engel was so important a figure in their lives. She passed around a scrapbook she'd once made of her dad's Vietnam service.David explained that Meir served as the U.S. military's liaison to the Buddhist religious officials as they set up a chaplaincy within the South Vietnamese Army. Meir, who wore a Jewish chaplain's insignia that depicts the 10 Commandments topped by a Star of David, apparently earned the Buddhists' trust. As the liaison, David said, his father reported directly to Westmoreland.That was the context. And here they all were, brought together by the present protagonist and the absent one.Pvt. Richard Eisenberg: in Vietnam because he didn't want to be drafted or sent there, so he'd enlisted, hoping that being on the military-police track might keep him stateside.Lt. Col. Meir Engel: in Vietnam because he wanted to be there, because he couldn't stomach "having 400 bosses" as a pulpit rabbi at an American synagogue "rather than teach and be a scholar," as Ray Engel would tell me. "My uncle Alan, on my mother's side, said that my dad didn't like to kiss ass," Ray would add. "My dad had written my brother a letter on his fears of what an American rabbi was becoming."The Israeli-American cleric and the Brooklyn-American grunt: one possessing the drive the other lacked, one embracing war's challenges and the other absorbed in staying alive, one mature and the other finding himself, one the father and the other the son.The patient handed gifts to the dead man's flesh and blood: the silver-oak-leaf pin of a lieutenant colonel and the Jewish chaplains' insignia, items he'd purchased at a shop on Buckley Air Force Base, not far from the hospital.Eisenberg had hesitated about meeting the Engels. The burden would be heavy, he told his daughter.Think of Ray and what he wrote, she'd responded. He lost his dad, his Abba, at 8.Eisenberg understood. A good thing."For me, Rich was the first person I ever met who knew my dad in Vietnam," Ray Engel says now, back in Pittsburgh, where he teaches young people to be good listeners so they can heal others. "Intellectually, I knew why my dad was in Vietnam, but this created a very human connection, and it made it real. To hear the story of their first meeting was quite touching and emotional."He continued: "I'm really, really touched that my dad—sorry, I'm going to get emotional—that my dad had that impact on a person," Ray says. "It's truly remarkable that he had that kind of influence on somebody he only had a few meetings with."The Engels and Eisenbergs have melded. Their yahrzeit flames illuminate. In Hebrew, Meir means "he who brings light."***Like this article?

You're the cat's pajamas
Yeah I would really like the blue to be replaced with black :x. The blue is ugly on a lot of gods.
Unless I decide to get Nox to mastery rank 10 (unlikely)... I'm probably not going to bother with diamond, legendary, or even gold skins for any god, and that's assuming Nox doesn't get a better looking skin before then.
Friend: Athena retreat, get out of there, what the heck are you doing!
Me: ATHENA DOESN'T KNOW THE MEANING OF RETREAT!
Friend: Well she better freaking learn it!
*I die*
Me: OK, I retreated back to base... Just wait 20 seconds.
-Me playing Athena on the 4th of July
"You forgot to ban Fenrir, and for that, I WILL EAT YOUR SHOES!!!"
-Me on Fenrir not being banned in a custom match
"Once I begin to sing, no-one must enter the tent. The dead will dance here tonight."
—Mirri Maz Duur
Maybe instead of texturing the entire model with the specified material, only sections of it were to be covered? For example, perhaps replacing the blue/black colours with the gem material and changing the rest to the default skin would work. Or just applying the texture with a level of transparency so that the God's actual features would still be distinct.
Though, I agree that the mastery skins (not just diamond I find) look mostly distasteful.
Being made out of diamond doesnt suit every god.
In my opinion, it would be better if armour, weapons and abilities had a diamond texture rather then the gods themselves.
Some skins are just...ugh.
But you know...taking each skin individually and improving it would take too much time and effort and since you can buy them with favor they're not really worth the effort. So I wouldn't expect any changes on them.
I'd use them if the clothing was what was gold and diamond, rather than their skin.
You're the cat's pajamas~▶That's no way to talk to a hero◀What is broken can be reforged
I don't think the diamond skins look 'cheap' ... but I would more than LOVE it if they replaced the blue with black. I have said this since I started the game xD It would look so much better. Diamond with the black would make for a better contrast.

Travel Professionals: do your clients understand what they're insured for?
When your clients purchase travel insurance – whether it's supplied with a tour package, included in a bank account, or purchased independently – do they fully understand the cover that's provided, or the cover that's appropriate?
We all like to think they do, but our July research conducted with YouGov showed that only 24% of adults who had taken out travel insurance said they "always read" the policy wording.
Further evidence of misconceptions included:
- 32% believed that typical travel insurance would cover cutting a trip short if terrorism took place, however the majority do not.
- 37% thought delays would be covered under the same circumstances – again, unlikely.
- 19% were unsure who would pay for emergency evacuation.
- 21% believed the UK Government would pay for emergency evacuation
What can we do?
We need to ensure that every client reads their policy wording in full – and help them to understand the facts that we in the industry take for granted, for example:
- Every policy is different and one small detail can have a large impact.
- Being unaware of a condition and negating it – even inadvertently – can make a policy invalid, which can have costly consequences.
- Cheaper policies provide limited cover and often have high excess payments.
- Cheaper policies also tend to have far more exclusions – and these are often items that people assume will be covered.
- Travel insurance needs to be appropriate not only for the travellers themselves, but needs to provide cover appropriate to their destination and the activities that they'll be involved in.
Expensive Exclusions
One of the most common unnoticed exclusions is terrorism. As you can see above, a large percentage of Brits believe they would be covered for acts of terrorism under a standard travel insurance policy.
More than 70% of those aged 24 and over also said that they would want to purchase extra cover for terrorism at a cost of £5 or less for two weeks.
Fortunately, Safe Journey cover is available from just £4.96 for a single trip of up to 8 days, and can even be provided in an inclusive tour package to add value to your offering.
Even More Value
Taking the time to explain the details of travel insurance can make every client's experience more positive – which makes them more likely to return to book with you for their next trip!
For more information on adding Safe Journey to your travel packages, contact us here.
The information above is a summary of the Safe Journey policy only and there are a number of other items covered, as well as exclusions, terms and conditions. You can of course read these in full in our Policy Wording!
Research referenced was conducted by International Travel and Healthcare with YouGov Plc. The survey was carried out online between 19-20 July 2016. Total sample size was 2026 adults. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all GB adults (aged 18+).
