Max's Healthy Tip of the Week:Regular consumption of dates has been found to check the growth of the bad bacteria and help in the growth of friendly bacteria in the intestines. Dates are already known as a laxative food, and other benefits include lowering the bad cholesterol and strengthening your heart. Nature always seems to have a solution for every problem. So make a date with a date right now!  |

EXPERT FINANCIAL ADVICE FROM MARC WEISS Minimum Social Security Benefit Protects Survivors Everyone knows that Social Security rules are complicated and occasionally even I get them wrong. For example, I had always relied on the Social Security Administration's publications that clearly stated: "If the person who died was receiving reduced benefits, we base your survivor benefit on that amount. The maximum survivor benefit amount is limited to what he or she would have received if they were still alive." READ MORE HERE ABOUT THESE BENEFITS Finally, if you are eligible for retirement benefits on your own earnings record as well survivor benefits, you can collect one benefit first and switch to the other later if it would result in a bigger benefit.

THE WORLD'S SMALLEST TRAVEL WASHING MACHINE
The Scrubba wash bag is a lightweight device for washing clothes anytime, anywhere. It allows you to wash 2-3 T-shirts, jocks and socks in only a few minutes. The Scrubba wash bag features a highly flexible internal washboard that is backed by our unique pattern grip surface. To wash clothing, a user simply adds water and cleaning liquid (e.g. shampoo or body wash); seals the bag and expels excess air; rubs the dirty clothing against the washboard from outside the bag for 30 sec to 3 mins; opens the bag and rinses the clothing. By taking a few minutes every 2-3 days to wash what you have been wearing, you can reduce your luggage making your backpack much lighter.
