Exam’ is a very common word.  Yet, it can be tricky to handle. Firstly, consider the way many pronounce it, which is pervasively weak. Did you too know that there is no X (/ks/) or S (/s/) in the pronunciation of ‘exam’ although the letter X is conspicuously in the spelling?

Many say exam or ekSam –  which is a deficient way of saying it. The reason is that, instead of X and S, there are G and Z in the pronunciation of the word. The correct articulation is thus more of IGZam than eXAm. Check  and practise the appropriate pronunciation in the dictionary.

Mr candidate, you don’t write a test

In terms of grammar, ‘write’ does not collocate with ‘exam’, in a situation someone is part of an examination or a test as a candidate. Often, guys say I want to write an exam; I want to write JAMB; I wrote NECO last year; He is currently writing ICAN etc.

This usage is erroneous because it is not the duty of the candidate/student to write an exam or a test. After all, he is not the one setting the questions for himself. So, what does he do? The candidate takes an exam or they sit it:

Professor Oloyede said over a million candidates wrote the UTME last year. (Wrong)

Professor Oloyede said over a million candidates took the UTME last year. (Correct)

Professor Oloyede said over a million candidates sat the UTME last year. (Correct)

Writing an exam

There is, however, a situation one can or does write an exam: if the person is the teacher or examiner. The examiner writes the exam (the exam questions), with the invigilator, supervisor etc. also usually playing a role:

“The principal wants to know if I have written my exam,” the Chemistry teacher said. (Correct)

I write my exam early every term because I am often busy towards the end of it. (Correct)

I will not be around next week. So, Dr Olubode will help me conduct the Economics exam.

Life insurance can be valuable for millions of American adults. How valuable a policy is, however, is specific both to the individual and the type of life insurance under discussion.

Term life insurance is generally favorable for those who want the security and protection a policy can provide without having to break the bank to get it. Since these policies only last for a select time frame (hence the name) they tend to be less expensive than their more robust counterparts.

Whole life insurance, meanwhile, lasts for the duration of the policyholder's life. And it comes with an attractive cash reserve that can be used to pay down debt or other expenses while the insured is still alive. But they tend to be pricier than other policies on the market.

While the benefits of these two types of policies are clear, there are other types on the market that may also be advantageous to have. No-exam life insurance can be great for a variety of prospective policyholders. But how do you know if it's worth it for you? That's what we will explore below. 

If you're currently in the market for life insurance then start by getting a free price quote so you know exactly what to expect.

Is no-exam life insurance worth it?

No-exam life insurance is exactly what its name implies: No medical exam is required to secure approval. But is it right for everyone? Here are three groups that could find this insurance valuable.

Seniors

Because this type of life insurance doesn't test for any medical issues, it can be a preferred option for many seniors and older adults. A medical exam, after all, tests blood, urine, blood pressure and more - all elements that could be below standard for seniors. When using these results for a traditional life insurance policy applicants could have their coverage severely limited (assuming they're approved at all).

By skipping the exam, you won't have to worry about getting approved. Whichever nagging health issues or pre-existing conditions you have will stay under wraps, allowing you to secure the life insurance that you and your beneficiaries need.

Get a free price estimate now so you know exactly what a policy would cost.

Young people

If you're young and healthy and want to make the life insurance application process as short as possible then no-exam life insurance could be beneficial for you. Because no medical exam is required for this type of coverage you could end up getting approved within days (if not within hours) after applying. 

Younger applicants will generally be offered more favorable rates and terms than older applicants, offsetting the typically higher cost connected to no-exam life insurance. It also has the benefit of providing immediate protection while you focus on other things. And because you're young, you can afford to wait to take a medical exam and go through a thorough vetting at a later date. 

Smokers and those with pre-existing conditions

If you're a smoker or were for a significant period of time, a life insurance provider could charge you significantly more. Similarly, if you're suffering from pre-existing medical conditions, with little chance of recovery, a life insurance provider would bill you more and/or limit the coverage provided.

By applying for a no-exam policy, you boost your chances of getting approved. And since no-exam policies can be offered with both whole and term life insurance types, you still may be able to secure the type of coverage you wanted.

Just note that each life insurance provider has different requirements so make sure to do your homework first. Start by getting a free price quote now or use the table below to review some top providers on the market.

The bottom line

No-exam life insurance can be a quick and painless way to secure financial protection for you and your loved ones. 

It can benefit a wide swath of applicants, particularly younger people who want the security a life insurance policy can provide without the hassle of going through the traditional application process. Seniors with existing medical concerns that otherwise may disqualify them from a policy would also benefit from this insurance type as would smokers and those with pre-existing medical conditions.

The RW Takeaway: Incredibly light yet plush, the Hyperion Max is an alternative to shoes with carbon-fiber or nylon plates. Testers said it made them feel fast and race-ready.

Preceded by:

Tech: Nitrogen-infused midsole cushioning, curved sole for propulsion (called Speed Roll), lightweight model built for speed sessions

Brooks is finally revealing a few additions to its Hyperion speed series. One is the cushy Hyperion Max, and it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

Rewind to 2019’s fall racing season. The RW gear team was in the throes of testing the hottest shoe releases before an Olympics year. Trailing Des Linden’s 2018 Boston Marathon win and speculation on what shoes she wore, Jeff Dengate ran the NYC Marathon in the Hyperion Tempo and I last-minute registered for the Philadelphia Marathon running in the Hyperion Elite. Results and assessments were divisive. While I finished seconds away from a PR, Dengate DNF’d and declared the Tempo’s midsoles too thin to support his six-foot frame.

The first Elite had DNA Zero foam, which was later replaced with the Tempo’s DNA Flash for a softer, bouncier ride. The Hyperion Max is the Tempo’s more cushioned, yet tenths-of-an-ounce-lighter, sibling. While their stretch woven uppers are the same, their rides are anything but. Brooks jacked up the Max’s midsole with four extra millimeters of nitrogen-infused DNA Flash for a springier but plusher ride. Inside word is this same foam will be in future Brooks Ghost and Glycerin models.

Testers said the Max is made for Sunday long runs, but it still feels fast. I can also see it as a plate-less, less-costly alternative to a true marathon racing shoe.

Testers’ Feedback

Rachel H. | Tester since 2022

Arch type: Flat | Pronation: Neutral | Footstrike: Heel

“This is a great shoe for faster runs. I wore them for a 5K road race and finished with a 19:06 time. I also wore them for a tempo workout with a two-mile warmup, three miles at 6:20 pace, then a two-mile cooldown at 7:30 pace. I plan on wearing them for tempos or fartleks and other road workouts. They’re okay to wear on a regular run, but I would not want to wear them everyday; I’d rather have more supportive training shoes for my easy runs. You can tell that these shoes are intended for quicker work.”

The Hyperion Max’s upper is taken from Brooks’s previous model, the Hyperion Tempo.

Teddy R. | Tester since 2022

Arch type: Flat | Footstrike: Midfoot

“What I like most about the Hyperion Max is how versatile it is. I could wear this shoe for almost every aspect of training. They were comfortable enough for runs up to nine miles and I could rip fast reps on the track with them. I liked how they were slim and quick, but still could be used as trainers. I often find that, with some daily trainers, it’s hard to do any faster-turnover work because they are too bulky and heavy. That was not the case with these shoes; they could do it all.”

We scored companies based on these measurements:

Price (50% of score): We averaged the no-exam life insurance rates for males and females in excellent health at ages 30, 40 and 50 for $500,000 and $1 million and a term length of 20 years.

Maximum face amount for lowest eligible age (10% of score): Companies with higher no-exam life insurance coverage amounts for the lowest age earned more points. Note that maximum no-exam coverage can sometimes become lower if you apply at a higher age.

Age eligible for best length/amount (10% of score): Companies offering no-exam life insurance to folks over age 50 earned extra points.

Accelerated death benefit available (10% of score): This important feature lets you access part of your own death benefit in the event you develop a terminal illness

Option to convert to a permanent life insurance policy (10% of score): This is a good option to have in place if you decide you want a longer policy, especially if your health has declined and you don’t want to shop for new life insurance.

Guaranteed renewals (5% of score): This option lets you extend the coverage after your initial level term period has expired, such as at the end of 10, 20 or 30 years.

Renewal rates can be significantly higher, but renewing can provide extended coverage to someone who may no longer qualify for a new life insurance policy because of health.

Median time from application to approval (5% of score): We gave more points to companies with lower no-exam life insurance approval times.

The timeline for approval could be within seconds or a month, depending on the company and possibly even your health.

With so many financial products and services on the market today it can become difficult to determine what's beneficial and what's not. This is particularly true for life insurance, which comes in different types, coverage amounts and lengths. 

Term life insurance policies, which provide coverage for a set period only, are usually cheaper to obtain. Whole life insurance policies, meanwhile, provide protection (and an attractive cash reserve) for the duration of the policyholder's life. But they're also more expensive.

One type of life insurance that may appeal to both young and old alike is no-exam life insurance. This type of insurance is exactly what its name suggests: No medical exam is required to secure a policy. But there's much more to this insurance than just its name. There are multiple benefits to know about.

If you're in the market for life insurance then start by getting a free price quote so you know exactly what to expect.

3 benefits of no-exam life insurance

While this insurance type has multiple advantages, here are three of the most important ones to know. 

No medical exam is required

The most obvious benefit of this kind of insurance is arguably also its most significant. Simply put: You won't have to take a medical exam to get approved for coverage. Since many providers actually do require a medical exam and the corresponding blood, urine and blood pressure tests, this can be an attractive alternative to getting protection.

Perhaps you're young and healthy and just want to expedite the approval process as much as possible. Then skipping the medical exam can help secure a plan much quicker than if you had to schedule a visit with a medical provider first. Similarly, if you're an older adult and are concerned about what a medical exam will reveal, you can elect to choose this insurance type and not worry about potentially negative test results.

Either way, by going this route you can skip the exam and move one step closer to getting insured. You can get a free price estimate now.

It covers a wide range of applicants

As mentioned above, whether you're young, old or somewhere in between, a no-exam life insurance policy will cover you. This is especially helpful for those applicants who smoke or have a history of smoking. It's also generally good for those with pre-existing medical conditions that may have otherwise limited their ability to get a policy. And if you have a high-risk occupation, which may have disqualified you from coverage with another type of policy, you'll be covered with a no-exam policy.

It's guaranteed

If the life insurance company won't reject you due to the lack of a medical exam and is willing to cover you regardless of your pre-existing conditions or history of smoking then the coverage is essentially guaranteed, no matter what box you check on your application.

Applying for life insurance, particularly for those people who fall into one or more of the above categories, can be a stressful process. You don't know if you will even qualify, let alone for how much or for how long. And if you don't get disqualified you'll have to start an application anew with another servicer.

Fortunately, no-exam life insurance eliminates all of this stress and work because coverage is guaranteed.

The bottom line

Everyone's personal circumstances are different. Accordingly, what type of life insurance policy works for one person may not work as well for another and vice versa. But no-exam life insurance takes a lot of the stress out of the equation by providing protection without a medical exam for a wide range of applicants. And it's guaranteed!

The Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant could soon have new state rules to follow.

Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, D-Torrance, will introduce a new state bill in the coming weeks that would possibly require the wastewater recycling facility and its operator, Los Angeles Sanitation & Environment, to do more to mitigate odors caused by hydrogen sulfide, which have lingered for nearly two years.

Officials with LASAN and the city of Los Angeles have repeatedly say they are working hard to fix various issues and are eager to address odor complaints.

But El Segundo residents say they have been continually plagued by hydrogen sulfide odors since a July 2021 backup at Hyperion caused the facility to flood and spill millions of gallons of sewage into the ocean. The incident, officials said then, nearly crippled Hyperion, the region’s largest and oldest wastewater reclamation facility.

The potential legislation would expand on the Muratsuchi-authored Assembly Bill 1647 — which was enacted in 2017 and required oil refineries to install community and fence-line air quality monitors to keep track of toxic chemicals — to large wastewater facilities, such as Hyperion. Fence-line monitors are already in place around Hyperion’s perimeter, but adding monitors in neighborhoods would further allow officials to detect the odors residents continue to complain about.

“It’s a transparency and accountability measure to put pressure on Hyperion,” Muratsuchi said, “in hopes that Hyperion will do the right thing and address the problems.”

Muratsuchi will introduce the legislation, which is still currently unnumbered, as a spot — or placeholder — proposal before the Feb. 17 deadline to introduce new bills. He’ll introduce the official bill before committee hearings begin in March.

If all goes smoothly, the bill could be on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk for consideration by September, Muratsuchi said. It would first need to get through committees and be passed by both the Assembly and state Senate.

Muratsuchi began looking into Hyperion in December after redistricting put the plant and El Segundo in his district, he said. But state Sen. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, had previously been talking with El Segundo and Hyperion officials about remedying the remaining effects of the spill.

“The bill’s important.” Allen said. “But the conversations with Hyperion are just as important.”

Allen said he would love to get a system in place to relieve El Segundo residents without a bill.

But Hyperion’s compliance record, he said, shows that this push may be needed.

“There’s been some progress,” Allen said. “But it’s a long term project.”

Hyperion had initially said it could meet a 2025 deadline to finish replacing all the corroded covers on its primary clarifiers — the main source of the odors — but Allen and his team got officials to agree to speed that up to the end of this year.

“That was just unacceptable,” Allen said. “These conversations make a difference; we’ve been asking them tons of questions so they know we’re paying close attention to this issue.”

The South Coast Air Quality Management District board also last added a new stack of conditions last month to an order of abatement it issued the facility in September to make officials there clear up the odors more quickly. Since the 2021 incident, AQMD has also hit Hyperion with multiple notices of violation.

During that January hearing, AQMD staff said that the majority of the odors seem to emanate from the primary clarifiers.

Officials representing Hyperion said during that hearing that would continue working to address the odoros and that they would comply with the updated terms.

“We look forward to continuing to work with the district to resolve this matter, to address the odor complaints,” Adena Hopenstand, deputy city attorney for Los Angeles, said at the time. “We believe this addresses odors and air quality first with an aggressive timeline, and hope with this, we can continue to work on regaining the public’s trust and confidence.”

Muratsuchi and Allen, meanwhile, are still having discussions with AQMD to understand what more legal authority it needs in order to really address the issues at Hyperion, the assemblymember said.

Besides the hydrogen sulfide odor, Muratsuchi said, El Segundo is particularly concerned about volatile organic compounds, or VOCs — like formaldehyde — and nitrogen oxides, or NOx.

“We want to make sure we’re detecting and protecting all surrounding communities,” Muratsuchi said, from “toxic chemicals that may be emitted from Hyperion.”

Folks in El Segundo, meanwhile, say they are still dealing with the effects every day.

“I filed complaints with Hyperion yesterday (Thursday, Feb. 9) and with AQMD, but Hyperion of course called me back — like they do every day — saying they are in compliance and they don’t detect any odors,” El Segundo resident Sarah Miszkowicz wrote in a Thursday email to AQMD, Los Angeles County officials, the media and members of the community. “They tell me that maybe it’s trash I’m smelling or the construction nearby.”

Miszkowicz added that she and her toddler both had headaches Thursday night and had to keep all their windows closed and air filters blasting.

Besides moving up Hyperion’s improvement timeline, legislators are also pushing to bring an independent investigator into the facility.

“We’re going to put pressure on Hyperion and force them to focus on this issue,” Allen said. “This is an issue they really need to take seriously and address.”

Of the world's 3 trillion or so tells, the Hyperion - a coast redwood of California - is considered the tallest (official according to the Guinness World Book of Records). Hyperion was first discovered in 2006 by the naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor. It is located in a remote area of the Redwood National Park. It is the tallest tree - but that should not be confused with the largest tree. That epithet goes to the General Sherman of the Sequoia National Park.

It is crazy to think that the tallest of giants of the American forest hid away out of sight, almost under everyone's noses, in the Redwoods National and State Park in Northern California. The redwoods are some of the most stunning natural attractions that everyone should explore while in California.

The Height & Size Of Hyperion - The Tallest Tree In The World

Hyperion is not a lone giant for the Redwood National Park - the park is also home to the second and third-tallest trees in the world called Helios and Icarus (377 feet and 371 feet, respectively).

Hyperion is a coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) that towers some 115.92 meters or 380.3 feet and is estimated to contain some 530 m3 or 18,600 cubic feet of wood. It is believed in between 700 and 800 years old. To put that in context, it is 1.25 times higher than the Statue of Liberty.

• Height: 115.92 meters or 380.3 feet
• Age: Between 700 and 800 Years Old

The Hyperion Is Closed To Visitors To Protect The Tree

After so many years of devastating deforestation and the felling of the mighty giants of the forests, there are extensive efforts to protect what is left of the timeless forests. Hyperion is a national treasure and is now a protected tree. The exact location of Hyperion is a nominal secret - but is an open secret as one can find out with an internet search.

• Hiking To Hyperion: Not Permitted

However, even if one finds out where to look for the mightiest tree in the forest, visitors are not permitted to actually hike to it. The superintendent closed the whole area around the tree in Redwood Park in July 2022. Hikers who choose to violate this restriction risk a hefty $5,000 fine and even a six-month jail sentence (although general trespassers are more likely to be asked to leave the area and/or pay a $150 ticket after, according to the park’s resource manager). Hyperion is now closed to hikers.

There is no formal trail to the tree, but Hyperion drew in many tree enthusiasts. But unfortunately, all these unsanctioned visitors had the effect of trampling and damaging the habitat leading up to Hyperion. Disappointingly, there was also discarded trash and human waste on the way to the site.

The tree may also not be as impressive as one may anticipate from the hype. While the tree is indeed tall, it's height is difficult to observe from the ground, and its trunk isn't that impressive and not as impressive as more stocky giant trees. The truck is reported to be quite unimpressive compared to other giant old-growth trees. From the point of view of a visually impressive tree, there are hundreds of trees on the designated trails that are considered much more impressive to view from the base of the tree. People on the forest floor can only see the first 150 meters of the tree.

Coastal Redwoods Are Ancient But Also Delicate

While the coastal redwoods are giants in height, they also have relatively shallow roots. This means that hikers can impact the soil and harm the roots. These giants and ancients have surprisingly delicate roots. Tree enthusiasts are urged not to love the trees to death. The park stated, "Forests grow by the inch and die by the foot... A single visitor can make a drastic negative change to an environment."

The redwoods are ancient trees that have adorned the earth since the Jurassic period, around 200 million years ago. But the threats of deforestation, climate change, and other threats means there is no ensure they will be around for another thousand years. The redwoods have been around for around half the amount of time that forests have been. The oldest prehistoric forest has been discovered in a New York quarry and is thought to be 385 million years old.

So if one can't visit Hyperion - the world's tallest tree, continue up the coast into Oregon and see what could be the world's oddest tree. Also, take the time to see the Giant Sequoia relatives of the redwoods in the Mariposa Grove of Yosemite National Park.

NEW YORK, NY, Feb. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire - ILUS International Inc. (OTC: ILUS) is a Mergers and Acquisitions company focused on acquiring and growing companies in the public safety, industrial, defense and renewable sectors. The company has incorporated Hyperion Defense Solutions to roll out its defense sector growth through several acquisitions and partnerships which are currently in progress.

ILUS co-founded Hyperion Defense Solutions (Hyperion) alongside two experienced and esteemed British military veterans, Chris Derbyshire, and Tim Grey. Through their combined 34 years of military service and 22 years holding senior roles in the defense sector, they have amassed a wealth of technical expertise and senior level contacts as well as an acute understanding of defense customer requirements and military procurement processes.

Building on this foundation, Hyperion is now rolling out its aggressive triple pronged growth strategy, which includes the following:

1.  Acquisition of defense companies with advanced technology that is critical to protecting warfighters and the communities they serve.

2.  Acquisition of the intellectual property rights to groundbreaking defense technology.

3.  Strategic partnerships which leverage senior relationships at both government and international organization level for participation in several large projects.

The Global Defense market has been estimated to reach $718 billion in 2027, although newer data is expected to reflect higher projected growth due to the continued war in Ukraine, increased geo-political tensions in many regions globally, and an increase in cyber-terrorism threats. This and several additional factors have led to increased instability, placing heightened demand on the defense sector leading to increased growth.

Hyperion aims to provide effective defense capability through advanced technology in the following key areas:

·  Joint Close Air Support (JCAS)

Story continues

·  Counter Improvised Explosive Devices (CIED)

·  Security Risk Management

·  Simulation Technology and Services

Hyperion offers agnostic turnkey solutions that provide improved capability directly to the warfighter. Through strategically aligned and profitable acquisitions, strong partnerships, and a network of trusted military veterans from both regular and Special Operations Forces (SOF), Hyperion aims to provide its customers with the technological capability, solutions and services that will protect their warfighters and provide them with a technological advantage.

Currently, Hyperion is negotiating a large JCAS acquisition and is also in talks to acquire the Intellectual Property Rights of revolutionary Counter IED technology. The company has already leveraged and continues to leverage its industry experience to develop a network of mutually beneficial partnerships that will complement these and future acquisitions.

Hyperion Defense Solutions has originally been incorporated by ILUS in the United Kingdom. A link to the Hyperion Defense Solutions website can be found here: https://hyperion-defence.com

“The formation of Hyperion is integral to the successful roll out and scale up of our defense subsidiary. We expect this division to deliver upwards of $15 million in profitable revenue this year before it ramps up exponentially in 2024. More importantly though, we believe Hyperion’s technology could save thousands of lives every year and prevent tens of thousands of critical injuries. Using just one example, IED’s (Improvised Explosive Devices) have been responsible for the majority of civilian and military deaths in war zones and account for nearly half of the US troop deaths in war zones between 2011 and 2020. We aim to globally launch and commercialize the groundbreaking technology which more efficiently detects the explosive devices that are responsible for causing such widespread and catastrophic loss of life. This is one of several key areas where we believe Hyperion will play a valuable role in delivering our overall ILUS vision,” said ILUS Managing Director John-Paul Backwell.
