The International Commission on Holocaust Era InsuranceClaims ICHEIC was established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in August 1998 to identify, settle, and pay individual Holocaust era insuranceclaims at no cost to claimants. ICHEIC was established in 1998 following negotiations between representatives of international Jewish and survivor organizations, the State of Israel, European insurance companies and U.S. insurance regulators. The result of the negotiations, a Memorandum of Understanding MOU , was signed on August 25, 1998, by several European insurance companies. This organization headed off the need for legislation in several U.S. states that would provide compensation for such victims. However, New York, California and Florida each passed legislation entitling survivors to compensation prior to its organization. In New York, senator Guy Velella , sponsored such legislation and hearings with Risk International insurance archeology specialists were held to prove victims were denied such claims. The International Commission on Holocaust Era InsuranceClaims ceased accepting claim forms applications from Holocaust survivors on March 31, 2004. According to the ICHEIC website, all timely filed claims received a final decision through the ICHEIC process by December 2006.

Wikify date January 2012 Initial Jobless Claims is a report issued by the U.S. Department of Labor on a weekly basis. The employment situation is extremely important for a macroeconomic analysis, so the financial markets track employment indicators, although this is a low impact indicator compared with the monthly BLS s Employment Report . This report tracks how many new people have filed for unemployment benefits in the previous week. It is a good gauge of the U.S. job market. For instance, when more people file for unemployment benefits, fewer people have jobs, and vice versa. Investors can use this report to gather pertinent information about the economy, but it s a very volatile data, so the four week average of jobless claims is monitored. The report is released at 13 30 GMT on Thursdays 08 30 EST and can be a market moving event.

Umbrella insurance refers to a Liability insurance liability insurance policy that protects the assets and future income of the name insured in addition to his or her primary policies. It is distinguished from excess insurance in that excess coverage goes into effect only when all underlying policies are totally exhausted, while umbrella is able to drop down to fill coverage gaps in underlying policies. ref Powerine Oil Co., Inc. v. Superior Court , 37 Cal. 4th 377 2005 . ref Therefore, an umbrella policy can become the primary policy on the risk in certain situations. The term umbrella refers to how the policy shields the insured s assets more broadly than primary coverage. ref cite web url http coverhound.com insurance learning center what is umbrella insurance and do you need it title What is Umbrella Insurance, and Do You Need It? date Jan 2011 publisher CoverHound ref Typically, an umbrella policy is pure liability coverage over and above the coverage afforded by the regular policy, and is sold in increments of one million dollars. The term umbrella is used because it covers liability claims from all policies underneath it, such as vehicle insurance auto insurance and home insurance homeowners insurance policies. For example, if the insured carries an auto insurance policy with liability limits of 500,000 and a homeowners insurance policy with a limit of 300,000, then with a million dollar umbrella, the insured s limits become in effect, 1,500,000 on an auto liability claim and 1,300,000 on a homeowners liability claim. Umbrella insurance provides broad insurance beyond traditional home and auto. It provides additional liability coverage above the limits of homeowner s, auto, and boat insurance policies. It can also provide coverage for claims that may be excluded by the primary policies.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A false premise is an incorrect proposition that forms the basis of a logical syllogism . Since the premise proposition, or assumption is not correct, the conclusion drawn may be in error. However, the validity logical validity of an argument is a function of its internal consistency, not the truth value of its premises. For example, consider this syllogism, which involves an obvious false premise If the streets are wet, it has rained recently. premise The streets are wet. premise Therefore it has rained recently. conclusion This argument is logically valid, but quite demonstrably wrong, because its first premise is false one could hose down the streets, the local river could have flooded, etc. A simple deductive system logical analysis will not reveal the error in this argument, since that analysis must accept the truth of the argument s premises. For this reason, an argument based on false premises can be much more difficult to falsifiability refute , or even discuss, than one featuring a normal logical error, as the truth of its premises must be established to the satisfaction of all parties. Another feature of an argument based on false premises that can bedevil critics, is that its conclusion can in fact be true. Consider the above example again. It may well be that it has recently rained, and that the streets are wet. This of course does nothing to prove the first premise, but can make its claims more difficult to refute.
