Career opportunities in disaster management

One of the sad realities of life is that once in a while, disaster will strike. It may be a stampede at a stadium event, heavy rains that wash away houses or a hurricane that wrecks everything in its path. Thankfully,Stenden now provides students with the option to study disaster management. Anyone working in this field has become something of a hero to those left vulnerable by disasters. Not only do they put the necessary plans in place to ensure that damage is kept to a minimum, but they bring a sense of hope to people who have, more often than not, lost all of their worldly possessions.
Having a disaster management degree means that you get to help those who need it most.

Why insurance companies won't cover diabetes



Most life insurance providers regard diabetes as a high-risk disease. Being diabetic means you are at higher risk of developing complications such as eye, kidney, heart and nerve damage. Additionally, diabetes increases the possibility of developing hypertension (high blood pressure), hypercholesterolaemia (high blood cholesterol), heart disease and strokes.

Insurers who do accept patients with diabetes are bound to increase their premiums significantly as the risk to insure them are above average. That’s why taking out life insurance at a young, healthy age can prove beneficial.
