Dietary consumption of baked or broiled fish is related to larger gray matter volumes independent of omega-3 fatty acid content. These findings suggest that a confluence of lifestyle factors influence brain health, adding to the growing body of evidence that prevention strategies for late-life brain health need to begin decades earlier.
Frozen fish sticks were a staple in my childhood diet.
I hope it helped.
Job Description – VP, International Life Insurance Underwriting INT0008S.
Update 08.09.14
I’ve gotten several page views on this post before finishing my thought process. I totally forgot my posts here get published on LinkedIn too. Pretty efficient if you ask me. My plans are to post links to interesting jobs as I come across them. I know a lot of page views on this website are from fellow underwriters looking for work. So if you see a post with a job title description there will be a post and link to that position. Again, I hope you find what you’re looking for. Best of luck.
The Financial Risk of Living a Long Time
People nearing the end of their careers can potentially lose 5% to 10% of their retirement wealth, or the equivalent of 2 to 5 years’ labor, by failing to annuitize their savings or annuitizing too early, according to an estimate by Alessandro Previtero of Ivey Business School in Canada. By providing a guaranteed income for life, an annuity is essentially an insurance policy against outliving one’s retirement savings. In a study, Previtero found that when stocks are rising, people are less likely to purchase annuities offered by their employers.
This excerpt came through my RSS reader this morning. As an insurance guy, naturally I was interested. When I clicked on the link to take me to the original Harvard Business Review blog article I got a 404. So I went to Google and found the article linked below.
No, I will not speculate on the reasons why HBR took their post down. Read the article and let your imagination roam.
Affordable Housing Draws Middle Class to Inland Cities – NYTimes.com.
Finally a story about OKC that doesn’t mention…
EARTHQUAKES.
The Recovering Americans and the ‘Top Secret’ Ebola Treatment – The Atlantic.
Say what you want about the US healthcare system but this developing story is incredible.
Second-Chance Med School – NYTimes.com.
The school is St. George’s University School of Medicine in Granada. Interesting article.
Tuition and fees at St. George’s come to $246,400 for four years.
The cost of attending this school is what caught my eye. It makes Oklahoma look like a bargain.

The Scary Charts in Mish’s article paint a vivid picture of where this country and economy are headed. It’s not a pretty picture.
The inverse association between increased fruit and vegetable consumption and mortality was particularly noticeable for cardiovascular mortality; higher consumption was not significantly linked with reduced risk of cancer mortality
All of the pitfalls of the component studies are present in the meta-analysis, the authors warn, including the fact that fruit and vegetable intake is typically self-reported. Not all studies adjusted for other types of foods consumed, including saturated fats, processed meats, etc. The definition of “portions” may also have been different across studies, the authors caution.
via Fruit, Veg Intake Has Dose-Response Link With CV Death.
Vegans and radical vegetarians take note. Bold in quote above is my emphasis.
Wrist blood pressure monitors: Are they accurate? – Mayo Clinic.
That can’t be right.
I had my blood pressure taken at the dentist the other day. The reading nearly sent me into cardiac arrest. My observations:
I’ll stop at one of those ubiquitous upper arm machines you find at any pharmacy and do a recheck. And those iPhone apps that measure blood pressure? Don’t even bother.
