As people become older, concerns about their safety and security also goes up. There are a lot of old people who live without much of economic security. They have added concerns on health care and so on. So, what should they do? How should they ensure that their rest of the life is safe and secure? What should they do to get more financial security?

This is where this financial instrument called the reverse mortgage comes in. Simply put, it is the opposite of how mortgage works. A mortgage works like this: you want to build a house or buy a house. You take a loan from the bank. The bank needs collateral. It keeps the house itself as the collateral till the time you pay the loan back to it. So, here the process is, you pay the money. The bank keeps the documents of the house. You can occupy the house but you need to ensure that you pay the money back fully.

The ‘reverse mortgage’ works the opposite way. You have the house. You need the money. so, you let the bank ‘take’ your house and give you the money. The money given is basically equivalent to the value of the house. The bank owns the house now but you can occupy the house till the end of your days. Either you or somebody from your side pays the loan and the money and take the house back or you use up the money – without losing the ability to be there in the house till the end of your days.

The reverse mortgage is having its own pros and cons. The reverse mortgage pros and cons needs to be weighed up before you take a step on the same. But, this is one of the best ways of financial security for old people who may be owning a house. You can get all the relevant reverse mortgage information from the net.

BP is using undersea robots in a bid to jam a tube into a broken pipe that is gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

The attempt to divert the oil flow came as workers readied a so-called “top hat” containment dome to be lowered over the leak.

Some scientists have significantly raised their estimate of the rate of oil flow, as the surface slick has grown to 3,650 sq miles (9,500 sq km).

Several US senators have proposed a ban on drilling off the Pacific coast.

Five thousand feet (1,500m) below the surface on Friday, remote-controlled robots were attempting to thread a six-inch (15cm) tube surrounded by a stopper into the 21-inch pipe spewing crude oil and natural gas at a high rate into the water.

If the attempt is successful, the tube could siphon leaking oil and gas into a tanker on the surface, allowing oil workers to concentrate on cleaning up the already-spilled crude.

In addition, BP was preparing to deploy a metal box, or top hat, to cap the leak. A previous attempt to lower a bigger box on to the well site failed.

Toyota Clarifies

Toyota has rejected claims that faulty electronics are behind its worldwide recall of more than eight million cars. It has clarified that the problem is not the electronics. The company said mechanical faults with accelerator pedals and floor mats were the cause of the problems, rather than the car’s electronics. Outside studies have recently criticised Toyota’s electronic safety systems. But at a press conference on Monday, Toyota rejected those findings as not credible.

Last month, the US Congress heard from a Southern Illinois University engineer David Gilbert, who said that Toyota’s electronic safety systems could be rewired to allow the car to unintentionally accelerate.
