We talked to Kevin Plouffe of MPY Financial Strategies here in Prince George to discuss how insurance can actually be used as a financial strategy. Good to know if you're striking it out on your own, you've finished school, starting a new business, are in the work force, or heading into the work force. Whatever industry you're in or headed towards, there is likely a risk associated with it. The opportunity to learn how to mitigate it is here.#howtohedgeyourbets!

You can catch a free seminar on the topic on March 6th @ UNBC's Senate Chambers 1-3 pm @ CNC's Rm 1306 4-6 pm It's open to the public, questions are welcome, with snacks and refreshments provided.

Today's Top Wikipedia Edits: Alternate Facts Link to Newspeak

, ,
Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-2.05.29-PM.png

According to Wikipedia:

  • "In the city of Oaxaca on Dec. 23, there is an unusual event called La Noche de los Rabanos. Oversized radishes are carved into elaborate figures. Originally, these were for nativity scenes but today, there is a major competition in which the vegetables are carved into all kinds of figures."
  • Gelignite was invented by Alfred Nobel in 1875, "who also invented dynamite. Unlike dynamite, gelignite does not suffer from the dangerous problem of sweating, the leaking of unstable nitroglycerine from the solid matrix... One of the cheapest explosives, gelignite burns slowly and cannot explode without a detonator, so it can be stored safely."
  • "Alternate facts" links to "Newspeak."
  • "A tame bear, also called a dancing bear, is a wild bear captured when the animal is young, or born and bred in captivity, and used to entertain people in streets or taverns.... They were still present in the streets of Spain in 2007."
