Government adviser and pensions expert,Ros Altmann,has been given the brief to see what can be done to boost the number of older workers. She is suggesting the over 60s should be helped to retrain so that they can stay in the labour market. In a recent interview with The Times newspaper, she said one of the key employment issues for those in their sixties was lack of IT skills,and there should be an IT national training scheme open to pensioners. Over the next few years,there are expected to be significantly fewer younger people, 16 to 49,whereas those between the age of 50 and the state pension age are likely to surge by around 3.7 million. According to the August report from age.uk, over one-third of the population are over 50 years of age.Also, two-thirds of those aged between 65 and 74 still do not have broadband at home.These are many other figures which may be of particular interest on a wide number of areas including employment, relating to older people in the UK The benefits to the UK economy are clear and those able to take advantage of the opportunity of acquiring new work skills should benefit from a continuing sense of usefulness and social connectivity.Ms Altmann believes that this initiative could literally save lives by improving the wellness of groups of older people who could otherwise suffer from a lack ‘of sense of purpose’.

Age discrimination in the workplace
Continuing the theme of the previous post, my accountants at Dufton Kellner report in their January newsletter:
“Ageism in the workplace is particularly topical this year, with the high profile case of Miriam O’Reilly highlighting some of the issues. In January 2011, Miriam O’Reilly successfully won an employment tribunal on the grounds of ageism after she was ‘axed’ from her job as a presenter on ‘Countryfile’, along with three other women, all over the age of 40.
“Commenting on the outcome of the case, Michelle Mitchell, Charity Director at Age UK, said:
‘The outcome of this high profile case sends out a powerful signal that even in the youth-worshipping world of show business, age discrimination can be withstood. The idea that wrinkles or grey hair can sound the death knell for the careers of female TV presenters is beyond appalling, especially in a country where over a third of the population is aged 50 and over.’
Dufton Kellner : “To read relevant guidance for both employers and employees visit

When are you too old to do your job?
That ‘old’ age thing has been recently been rearing its weary head in the corridors of the BBC Centre. It is a change to hear that veteran news presenter, and 60-lifer, Julia Somerville, has been appointed to the team presenting the prime time late-evening news bulletin.
The last time she was seen on prime time BBC News was 1987, according to the Daily Mail. Congratulations,BBC! Why should this revelation be so remarkable, if she is well qualified,experienced,and has a great presence for the job. Shame on you! Did you just whisper her age: 63 years of age? If there is a turning tide against age discrimination, this looks to be a good example of where a person’s age was, rightly, considered irrelevant for a high-profile appointment.

Will you be ready to receive your energy bills when they hit the doormat next year?
************************************************************************************************
Winter draws on! It’s the big switch on: lights, fires, heaters, and electric blankets. Now is the time to benefit from a little forward planning in this burn-now-pay-later season.
According to The Money Saving Expert, Martin Lewis:
“Many people on standard tariffs can currently save over £300 a year by switching to the cheapest online deals, plus get up to £30 cashback or a crate of wine for doing it.”
He says: “Switch NOW! Energy price HIKES are back – save £300…
And it’s no big deal: only price and customer service change; you get the same gas, electricity, pipes, meter & safety.”
He reports further that…”Scottish & Southern Energy (S&SE) has announced it’s hiking gas prices an average 9.4% on 1 Dec. Industry insiders now predict the other big six will follow soon, probably in the next few weeks if not by January at the latest…” Check the details out at the money saving expert

DISCOVER WHAT YOU CAN WRITE IN JUST FIVE MINUTES
FIVE MINUTES IS ALL IT TAKES…
…to phone a friend…peel potatoes for dinner…make a paper plane…perhaps collect the grandkids from school…or write a few words that could earn you anything from a plastic apron or ballpoint pen, to a dream house in the sun, a top of the range sports car, or a magnificent hoard of cash prizes and luxury goods!
Hi,
Last week I introduced you to the exciting and potentially profitable world of ‘Five Minute Writing’. I am now able to bring you the full fantastic report that could see you becoming a well paid Five Minute Writer. I urge you to read on.
Quite obviously you want to write and you’d like to be paid for your efforts! Becoming a well paid writer could be a dream you’ve cherished for years but never quite got round to fulfilling. But you like writing. So why have you left it so long?
Maybe you don’t know where to start, even though having time to write may be less of a problem for you now.
Of course, you need time. And, as everyone knows you’ll only make real money as a novelist or a playwright, as a writer of children’s books, regular columns, or by syndicating dozens of articles to hundreds of editors and publishers worldwide. Isn’t that how full-time writers normally earn their living?
Well, actually the answer is ‘No’, at least not exclusively. There are in fact many other ways to earn your living as a writer, not all of which bring real fame and fortune, but provide a steady income nonetheless, and few of which are anywhere as time-consuming and stressful as those listed earlier.
You are about to enter the fascinating world of The Five Minute Writer where:
· Even if a few minutes a day is all you can spare, you can still be a well respected, and regularly published writer.
· No special skills are required, you definitely don’t need a computer or word processor, a desk or phone.
· You don’t have to spend years learning your craft.
· Five minute writers are in great demand all over the world.
It may all come as a big surprise to you, or maybe you’ve never considered five minute writing as a serious way to make money from writing.
Why is it so profitable? Why do so many people enjoy five minute writing?
You can find out the reasons why and, also why publishers (and other regular clients) need your work. the five minute writer
Days from now you could be starting your new life as a five minute writer…or still wondering why it took so long to achieve your dream of becoming a well-published, well- paid writer.

Are you taking enough interest on your savings?
From Mike Paterson at The60LifeWeekly
28th October 2010
· Are you taking enough interest on your savings?
· Introducing you to Five Minute Writing
· A stretching exercise by Dr Art Brownstein
Hi,
The above question, for many of us who may be on fixed or reduced incomes, could perhaps be better expressed as: Are you taking enough interest in your savings? It seems many of us are resigned to receiving little or no interest on our savings deposited with financial institutions; or perhaps we don’t spend even a little time regularly checking if we can do any better…
*****************************************************************
Are you taking enough interest on your savings?
*****************************************************************
According to Which? , the consumer watchdog organisation, the banks are being rather shy about the interest rates they are giving to savers. A common rate is as little as 0.1% per annum, equivalent to just £1 interest for every £1,000 saved. Many savings account higher rates are offered for a limited period only, and on expiry of the introductory offer, revert automatically to the lowest rate, often without informing the saver that a new rate is being used to calculate interest payments. There is a call for greater transparency, and regular information to be given on statements about current rates for savers.
A clear message to savers is: be vigilant about the amount of interest you are receiving and, if necessary, vote with your feet for a higher (and fairer) rate.
At the Which? web site, you can use a free calculator to determine the best rate for you, and calculate what money you may be losing by not shifting your savings to a better rate.

Introducing you to Five Minute Writing
**************************************************
Five minutes is all it takes…to phone a friend…peel potatoes for dinner…pick the grandkids up from school…or write a few words that could earn you anything from a plastic apron or ballpoint pen ,to a dream house in the sun, a top-of-the-range car, or a magnificent hoard of cash prizes and luxury goods!
Becoming a well paid writer could be a dream you’ve cherished for years but never quite got round to fulfilling. So why have you left it so long to experience the thrill of being paid for something you really enjoy doing? Like writing!
So, do you only make money if you successfully write full length novels and plays? No, not exclusively ,there are in fact many other ways to earn your living as a writer, not all of which bring real fame and fortune, but provide a steady income nonetheless, and few of which are anywhere near as time-consuming and stressful as being a full-time novelist or playwright.
Five minute Writers are in great demand around the world, from paying clients, including editors and publishers,
Taking just minutes to produce, short written pieces can cover far more enjoyable and profitable writing projects than most people appreciate…projects covering everything from
· readers’ letters and fillers,

A stretching exercise by Dr Brownstein
*************************************************
On the NaturalNews website Dr. Art Brownstein writes: ” Back pain is twenty times more painful than other body pain, because these complex muscles are located so close to the spinal cord.” He reveals a natural exercise treatment you can try at home.
“1. Lie on your back. Very, very slowly bring your right knee in toward your chest, only as far as it feels comfortable.
2. With your hands on your shins, hold this position for 10 to 20 seconds.
3. Slowly release and gently let your leg down to a slow count of 5.
4. Repeat with the other leg.
Do this exercise 5-6 times in the morning before getting out of bed and again at bedtime.

Hi,

Occasionally, we have to look at the hard stuff: According to a report on the saga.co.uk website, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK with new cases reported annually. Every year about 10,000 men die of the disease.
However, scientists may have found a way to create the first effective urine test for prostate cancer, reports the Nursing Times.
‘A protein called MSMB found in urine is present at a lower level in men who have the disease. Its level also seems to be influenced by how aggressive the cancer is.
‘Hayley Whitaker, from Cancer Research UK charity’s Cambridge Research Institute, where the study was carried out, said: “We looked in tissue and urine from over 350 men with and without prostate cancer to find out how much MSMB they had. We then looked to see who had the genetic change. It was really exciting to find out that the genetic change and the amount of protein were linked.’
“The protein is easy to detect because it is found in urine and would potentially be a very simple test to carry out on men to identify those most at risk of developing the disease.”

Over 50, finished and fearful
A pretty dismal headline for a Monday morning, you may think. But a reality check can help us all,and can provide a ‘problem shared ‘ experience. Today’s news theme,as it happens, follows my previous post- 3 myths about building a career after 50 – and covers a situation many currently face as a result of recession,or other reason for economic hardship. Today’s report is from the NewYork Times:
For the Unemployed Over 50, Fears of Never Working AgainVASHON ISLAND, Wash. — ” Patricia Reid is not in her 70s, an age when many Americans continue to work. She is not even in her 60s. She is just 57.
But four years after losing her job she cannot, in her darkest moments, escape a nagging thought: she may never work again.
College educated, with a degree in business administration, she is experienced, having worked for two decades as an internal auditor and analyst at Boeing before losing that job.”
“Of the 14.9 million unemployed, more than 2.2 million are 55 or older. Nearly half of them have been unemployed six months or longer, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate in the group — 7.3 percent — is at a record, more than double what it was at the beginning of the latest recession. ”

Hi,
How the weeks fly by! This week, for those looking to write a book, I have found a source of interesting f.ree articles which you should find useful. And, continuing the theme from last time about starting a home business, I have also included below some tips from a general article on building a career after 50.
***************************************************
How to write a book and get it published
***************************************************
At writeandpublishyourbook.com the aim is to try to fulfil this ambitious title. You will find well written articles giving a wide range of tips and advice for writers – there is a review of a book: ‘HOW NOT TO WRITE A NOVEL – 200 Classic mistakes and how to avoid them’!

3 myths about building a career after 50
***************************************************
In an article at articlesnatch.com three common myths (or generalisations) about older employees are exposed. These are:
1. Older people have poor health
2. Older employees are ‘outdated’
3. Older people are way more expensive to employ
The article concludes :
‘There are simpler methods in starting new career after 50 where you don’t have to go through the agony of having to explain to a recruiter half your age how much you know, or convincing an employer that you are as fit as a pony. And that alternative would be to build your business from home. The best part is that you have all the ‘equipment’ you need to make a home based company work.’
The 3 truths given are:
‘1. You have the experience and the experience to make claims that you are an authority in the field, and that’s something that no amount of technological knowledge will ever replace as you are starting new career after 50.
2. You have been around long enough to know the terrain, and particularly how people in your field of specialty work and act. You also possibly know lots of resources or leads that others don’t. Add that to an already existing client or customer base from all of your years of tough work, and the sole hurdle left for you is to convert all of these potentials into something which will work for your benefit.
3. Web businesses are very inexpensive to start up, which make them ideal if you’re starting new career after 50. If you want to be a service supplier, all you want is an internet site or a blog page, or even just signing up with one of those online directories. If you are more of a product salesman, you can affiliate or partner up with a longtime business till you make enough cash to go on your own.’

It seems we can’t get enough of food recipes and cooking related information which together often pass for entertainment content: newspapers, magazines day and evening-time television programmes provide a constant diet.
But of course the utility of it all, if it feeds us, introduces us to a wide variety of foodstuffs and cooking styles and, with an eye to more healthy eating, enables us to be self sufficient in the kitchen, then good job done!

Discover an ideal home business to finance your retirement plans
The60LifeWeekly
9th September 2010
· Do you want to keep working at your regular job for years, or would you like to retire tomorrow?
· Discover an ideal part-time business for folks with a few grey hairs
· How to start and run a successful Internet marketing business of your own
Hi,
In my continuing quest to bring you useful news, tips and other information, including word of business opportunities, I am particularly pleased to bring to you a report about Internet Marketing for over 50s.
If you are looking to be your own boss, and to be financially secure, this is for you. Please read on
Do you want to keep working at your regular job or do you want to retire tomorrow?
Bob Bly, author of Internet Marketing over 50, writes : · ‘If you are reading this page, chances are you -like me-are never going to see the sunny side of 50 again.
· It also means that you are thinking of doing the same thing I did when I turned 50- specifically, getting onto the web and starting an internet marketing business.
· Launching my own small internet marketing venture was, without question, the best business decision I ever made in my life- completely eliminating the need for me to work for a living less than 24 months after I launched my first product.
· Like you I started from scratch, with no prior experience: it was my first foray into making money online.
· My tiny internet marketing business, which takes me only a couple of hours a day to run, generates average income of over $7,000 a week.
Now, I don’t know about you, but $7,000 per week is more than enough money for my family and me to live quite comfortably on. Even, if you earn half that amount, it’s still a passive retirement income stream of $175,000 a year…a real financial cushion for added comfort in these uncertain economic times.

Discover an ideal part-time business for folks with a few grey hairs
Let Bob continue his story:
· ‘My Internet Marketing business is a lot less work than my freelance writing business.
· It is an ideal part-time business
· And what I discovered is that starting and running a home-based internet marketing business fits the over-50 in me to a tee!’
Bob goes on to list the advantages of the internet marketing lifestyle:
· No boss
· Flexible hours
· Easy work
· Fun
· Passive income
When it’s your business, he says, you can do all the fun things yourself – and leave the boring stuff to others.
It’s all here at: Internet Marketingover 50

If you are not yet convinced :
“Because the bicycle supports your body, cycling isn’t necessarily
a weight-bearing exercise (although this depends on your
technique). This means it’s good for people with certain bone and
joint problems, but it may be less effective for protecting against
osteoporosis, although all exercise helps strengthen bones and
muscles to some degree.”

4 easy ways to a richer life
*******************************************
While cash and the material stuff are important in your life, you
might want to check this out for a richer life at any age:
“Life’s a zero-sum game, right? The more you strive to win in one
dimension (e.g., your work), the more the other three dimensions
(yourself, your home, and your community) must lose. Not according
to Stewart D. Friedman, a Professor of Management at the University
of Pennsylvania. You don’t have to make trade-offs among life’s
domains. Nor should you: trading-off can leave you feeling
exhausted, unfulfilled, or isolated. And it hurts the people you
care about most.”
Although, Friedman’s Idea was developed with leadership in mind, it
seeks to improve satisfaction and performance in all four
dimensions of life.
The four easy steps to a richer life are:
1. Reflect – on each of the four domains of your life -work (if you
still do), home, community, and yourself. How important is each to
you? How much time and energy are you devoting to each, and how
satisfied are you in each?
2. Brainstorm possibilities- develop a list of small things to do
that may help you to get greater satisfaction in all four (or
three) domains. For example, join a club to help forge closer
friendships, or exercise several times a week, which could give you
more energy.
3. Choose the three most promising from 2. above – these should:
• Improve your satisfaction and performance in all the dimensions
of your life
• Have effects viewed as positive by the people who matter to you
in every dimension of your life.
• Be the most costly–in regret and missed opportunities–if you
don’t do them.
• Position you to practice skills you most want to develop and do
more of what you want to be doing
4. Measure your progress – always important know whether what you
are doing is working in order to encourage you to continue with the
process.

circumstances check-out the full report at

- Why regular use of the internet could stave-off dementia
- Is this the most dangerous business opportunity ever?
Hi
My grandchildren take some keeping-up with. I love playing ball games in the park with them, but boy does it take some work! Great fun, though.
That brings me nicely to one of this week’s key themes. Luckily, I have recently rediscovered the joy of cycling…

5 reasons why cycling should be part of your fitness regime
**************************************************************************
According to the website, over50s.com, cycling is one of the easiest and effective ways of keeping fit. The website reports:
Researchers have found that ” in England ,just 32% of men over 50 and 21% of women undertake the ’ recommended’ 30 minutes of daily exercise.”
The article goes onto say: “Five reasons why cycling should be part of your exercise regime:
1. It keeps your knees and hips flexible.
2. It is an aerobic exercise and releases ‘feel good’ chemicals in the brain.
3. People who regularly cycle have the fitness level and body of someone 10 years younger.
4. If you are overweight cycling is the perfect exercise because it doesn’t put any pressure on your joints.
5. As part of a healthy lifestyle, regular cycling can reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease by around 50 per cent.”
Seems like a win/win situation to me. Before you embark on any unaccustomed exercise you should see your doctor first just to check-out that what you plan is appropriate for you. For more on this story, including the benefits of an electric bike, check this out:

Why regular use of the internet could stave-off dementia
****************************************************
Natural News reports that” University of California at Los Angles (UCLA) scientists have found a way adults who are middle-aged and older can enhance brain function and thinking ability in just one week. This amazingly powerful prescription doesn’t involve a drug. Instead, it’s simply a matter of learning to surf the Web.
Research presented October 10th at the 2009 meeting of the Society for Neuroscience held in Chicago suggests older people with little Internet experience can trigger key centres in the brain that control decision making and complex reasoning in about seven days after they are taught how to use the Internet. What’s the connection? Apparently, Internet training stimulates specific brain cell activity and could even potentially play a role in preventing dementia.”

Live longer and prosper
This may be likened to a familiar sci-fi homily, but it can be growing reality and life choice for many people in or approaching their 60s and 70s. Currently bombarded with a welter of figures from the Office of national Statistics, we are learning that people are living longer [see earlier post]and also working longer than ever before.This maybe because of economic necessity, or a wish to remain active and involved, or both. A recent survey by Saga and the National Endowment for Science,technology and Arts (Nesta) has found that of 13,000 respondents nine out of ten older workers say retirement should be about ability to work,not merely age. So if you are able and want to work beyond a certain age, the statistics suggest that if the opportunities to work arise (and so often do, if we look in the right places) you will be around to do so.For more…
