As a retail store, restaurant, or small business owner, are you having a hard time keeping track of all your inventory, sales reports, customer and employee management and other crucial information? If so, you're likely not using the latest point of sale technology — and you don't know what you're missing! Today's POS systems can do all of this and much more. If you're thinking about making the leap into the 21st century POS world, or you're not happy with your current POS system, we've done our homework and give you our recommendations for the best POS systems on the market.
What is a POS System?
The most basic definition of a POS system is any setting where a customer pays a merchant. In the old days, the POS system was a simple cash register. As technology evolved, most POS systems adopted electronic cash registers, scanners, touch screens and customized hardware and software.
Today's POS systems, however, are much more functional than just recording transactions and producing receipts — and they can save you valuable time, money, and resources, leaving you room to focus on other business priorities. The latest POS software keeps track of your inventory in real-time, allows you to run analytics to help you with future merchandise ordering, and provides excellent customer management tools. You can even keep track of this information across multiple stores — and on the go!
What Factors Should You Consider?
There are hundreds of POS systems on the market, and each offers a wide variety of features. So, it's a good idea to start pinpointing some of your most important considerations. Some factors you need to think about before you start searching for the best POS system for your business include:
Type of Business
Many POS systems are industry specific, particularly for retailers and restaurants. Some POS systems are versatile enough to adapt to several different types of businesses. In this comparison article, we review a variety of POS systems to give you our recommendations for whatever type of industry you're in.
Your pricing options can vary widely depending on your business needs, how much hardware you need, the types of features you want in your software and whether you need to include credit card processing in your overall POS system pricing.
- Hardware: Your hardware costs depend on a few factors. How large is your business? How many locations do you have? Do you want POS technology that works with mobile devices, or a server-based POS system that requires more hardware (and is more costly)? Items you may need include checkout stations, cash drawers, touch screens, barcode scanners and receipt printers among other things.
- Software: Pricing for POS software typically is either a one-time licensing fee or on a monthly subscription basis.
- Integrations: As with most business software these days, you can customize your POS software with a number of different integrations and add-ons. In many cases, these will run you an added fee — and can get pretty expensive depending on the POS system you choose.
- Credit card processing: If you don't already have a merchant account and a payment processor, you'll need to factor those into your budget. Tip: Some POS systems accept a variety of payment processors, while others are very limited. Make sure the payment processor you choose works with your chosen POS system.
Cloud-Based or Server-Based Software
The more traditional POS systems run on server-based software, which you have in-house, but newer cloud-based POS technology is revolutionizing the way a business can run and access their POS system. Instead of having your data stored on your own system, it's stored online "in the cloud." What does this mean for your POS potential? You can access your POS data anywhere via any device. All of the POS systems we review in this article are cloud-based.
Ease of Use
This factor should be a no-brainer, but a lot of people get caught up in choosing hardware and software features (it can be overwhelming, for sure) and forget to take ease-of-use into account. Once you narrow down your choices, go online. There are hundreds upon hundreds of POS system online consumer reviews, where you'll be able to get a pretty good idea of how the system works once in place.
Technical Support
Customer support from your POS system provider is a huge consideration. What if your system hits a glitch in the middle of a busy shopping weekend? You'll need quick, responsive tech support that can get you back up and running ASAP.
EMV Compliance
Beginning on October 1, 2015, small businesses that haven't incorporated POS systems that accept EMV-chip credit cards will be held liable for fraud instead of the card issuer or bank. This feature is a biggie if you want to avoid credit card fraud liability!
Best POS System Winners
There are hundreds of POS systems on the market. We've done our homework to give you our recommendations for retail shop owners, restaurants and other small businesses. We chose our winners based on a number of factors: features, ease of use, tech support, cost and more.
Best POS System for Small Business: ShopKeep Review
ShopKeep is our winner for Best POS System for Small Businesses. It is an excellent iPad-based POS system for all types of small- to medium-sized companies. Its cloud-based monthly subscription fee is one of the lowest we've seen, and the system is simple, intuitive and easy to use. You also get excellent analytics, inventory management, and employee and customer management tools. ShopKeep gets overall top ratings from users for everything from functionality to technical support. And you're not required to purchase any hardware to subscribe if you already have compatible hardware in place. We highly recommend Shop Keep. You can try it out without obligation with their 14-day free trial.
- You must contact ShopKeep directly for a customized quote
- One year warranty, free shipping & 30-day money back on hardware

Best POS System for Restaurants: Revel Review
Revel is another popular and well-respected, cloud-based POS system for iPad. Although it's on the expensive side compared to similar systems, you get a lot of bang for your buck. Revel offers fast transaction processing, robust reporting and excellent inventory (down to raw ingredients), customer and employee management tools, in addition to a lot of great restaurant-specific features. In Always On Mode, for example, you can keep your POS up and running during a power outage or slow Internet speed to keep turning tables over quickly. You also have access to API developer tools and integrations with ecommerce stores, QuickBooks, and a number of different payment processors. Any drawbacks? Revel takes a learning curve to set up and they charge you a start-up fee, which varies depending on your industry.
Revel POS doesn't include pricing on its website, although they indicate that they do have a free trial. You must contact them to get pricing quotes for hardware and monthly software fees. We did find some secondhand information online that reports that Revel is expensive compared to similar systems.
Best POS System for Retail: Vend Review
Vend is an excellent choice for retailers of any size. Another iPad- and cloud-based POS system, Vend is extremely simple to use and even offers a free plan (although, you don't get much with it). Vend lacks some of the features that full-service restaurants or those in the hospitality industry need, but that's not their niche. Some of their unique features include the ability to use your iPad camera as a barcode scanner and an excellent responsive design ecommerce tool that makes your website look great on any device. If you're a retail merchant or even a quick-service, over-the-counter food business, give Vend a try. You get a 30-day free trial to see if it's right for your business.
- 30-day free trial
- Hardware bundles starting at $485.59 (iPad not included)
- 30-day money back guarantee
Vend offers a 30-day free trial and discounts if you subscribe for their annual plan. The following software pricing plans are for one register. Additional registers are $39 per month (or $35 per month for an annual contract). Phone support 24/7 is an additional $19 per month.

Breadcrumb | Clover | Lightspeed | Shopify POS | Square POS
Breadcrumb Review
Launched by a career restaurateur and purchased by Groupon in 2012, Breadcrumb's iPad- and cloud-based POS System is exclusively for food service establishments. They offer customized solutions for quick- and full-serve restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Breadcrumb is extremely intuitive and runs smoothly. It has good table and customer management features and highly customizable menu tools. And they have an excellent leasing option for hardware (one of few we've seen). However, Breadcrumb is lacking some features that other food service POS systems offer, namely ingredient management and an ecommerce integration. And there are more than a few online user complaints about their poor customer service.
- Must contact Breadcrumb to get hardware purchasing prices
POS Software Plan (monthly fees; no contract required; unlimited users)
- $69 per month; 1 terminal

Clover Review
Clover POS is an all-in-one touchscreen system that operates on its own unique hardware. One of the great things about Clover is that you can purchase their hardware bundles at a number of different places — Sam's Club, Amazon, restaurant supply stores — and many major banks also carry Clover. It's easy to set up and get your business up and running. The downsides? Clover doesn't handle larger-scale retail shops or restaurants well, and the basic Clover POS software doesn't cut it compared to other POS systems. They do have a hearty App marketplace to fill in the gaps, but you'll have to configure it yourself. If you're not tech savvy, this could prove difficult. A lot of users complain about their poor customer and tech support. If your business is a small restaurant, Clover could be a great solution. Otherwise, you'll probably want to look elsewhere.
Pricing for Clover varies, depending on where you purchase the hardware bundle, which includes a terminal, stand, printer and cash drawer. Bundles on Amazon are available for $1,200 from third-party vendors. And the software packages vary depending on where you purchase your bundle. Sam's Club, for example, offers monthly rates starting at $19 per month.
Lightspeed Review
There are a lot of positives about cloud-based Lightspeed POS systems. First, Lightspeed is compatible with iPads, PCs and Macs, so you can use whichever system you're most comfortable with. Second, Lightspeed has a fully integrated and hosted ecommerce store option. This means you can sell your products in your store and online. And third, their inventory, employee and customer management features are robust. The drawbacks? Although Lightspeed offers a restaurant POS system, it doesn't have as many features as similar systems. Lightspeed is expensive, and they charge you extra fees that similar systems don't (added fees for advanced reporting, extra employees, etc.). We also found a number of user complaints over the last several months about significant system down time. This is a huge downside for a busy retail store or restaurant. Still, there are a ton of positive user reviews online, so Lightspeed is worth consideration.
If you're interested in purchasing hardware from Lightspeed, you must contact them for pricing. Their software pricing is below. Lightspeed does offer a 14-day free trial.
Retail POS software
- Small Shop Plan: $89 per month ($76/mth with 14-month plan); one register and 5 employees
- Medium Shop Plan: $149 per month ($128/mth with 14-month plan); 2 registers and 10 employees
- Large Shop Plan: $259 per month ($222/mth with 14-month plan); 4 registers and 20 employees
- $51 per month per additional register (plus 3 extra employees)
- $9 per month to add an additional employee to any plan
- $21 per month for Advanced Reporting
Restaurant POS Software
- Small: $59 per month; one register; no integrations
- Medium: $102 per month; 3 registers; integrations included
- Large: $205 per month; 7 registers; integrations included
Shopify POS Review
Most of us know Shopify as an online ecommerce platform, but Shopify actually has an in-store, iPad-based POS system for retailers. It's an excellent option if you're selling online and have a physical store with excellent syncing, reporting, inventory management and more. But if you're not interested in selling online, Shopify POS system isn't your best choice. Why? You're required to pay for a Shopify ecommerce subscription in order to obtain the retail POS system, which is an additional charge per month. And without using the ecommerce POS, Shopify's Retail POS Lite plan doesn't give you many features.
- Hardware starter kit: $779
- 30-day money back guarantee
- 14-day free trial
- All pricing plans include unlimited products and 24/7 phone and email support
- No contract required
- Lite plan: $49 per month
- Basic plan: $69 per month
- Pro plan: $129 per month
- Unlimited plan: $229 per month
Square POS Review
Square POS System is extremely popular for small merchants and start-ups. Why? The Square app is free to download, and they don't charge a monthly fee. Square works on both iOS and Android devices, so it takes little time to get your small business up and running. But what you save upfront may end up costing you down the line. You're required to process all your payments through Square, and they're notorious for placing holds on larger transactions. If you only occasionally need a POS system, Square could be the perfect fit for you. But if you depend on your business income to earn a living, you could face cash flow issues.
Hardware Starter Kits: starting at $486 (iOS and Android devices not included)
Software: free

of the bankruptcy tunnel!
Some common reasons people have debt problems are:
Medical bills
Foreclosure, either pending or completed
Lost income
Credit card debt…Irresponsible spending
Tax debt…returns not filed on time or not at all
Large retirement account withdrawals to pay debt.
Payday loans taken out to pay emergency expenses.
Student loans
Debt problems are solved at A Fresh Start Law. Attorney Dorothy Bunce established debt repair strategies as an alternative to bankruptcy. While for many people, Bankruptcy is the obvious choice to eliminate debts, bankruptcy is not a one size fits all solution. Some people are not eligible for bankruptcy while others simply want other choices.
Bankruptcy attorneys usually only offer two alternatives…Chapter 7 (regular bankruptcy) or Chapter 13 (the 3 – 5 year payment plan). For those who want a third option, many bankruptcy attorneys can't or won't help. But Attorney Dorothy Bunce has expertise in debt settlement, which is a choice some people prefer. This strategy gets creditors to settle for much less then the balance owed. With the help of a dedicated bankruptcy attorney that offers this option, you can get your debts marked "paid off" for less than the balance due.
Dorothy is not a one-size-fits-all financial solutions attorney. You are special and your problems are unique to you. Dorothy offers choices to solving debt problems and knows how to navigate the legal system. You will understand the pros and cons of the choices you have to make. She does this with straight talk and absolutely no pressured sales pitch.
If you are lucky enough to engage Dorothy Bunce as your attorney this is what you can expect. She will treat you like she was your mom only much tougher. Dorothy Bunce is your "Mean Mom" who always has your back, but won't put up with your excuses, let you feel sorry for yourself or be a victim, or let you continue to be ignorant of how your problems can be solved. Dorothy understands how hard it is to talk about your money problems, she doesn't care whether the problems are your fault or not. We all make mistakes! Dorothy knows that you have tried to solve these problems on your own. How does she know this? Because Dorothy has had financial problems of her own that were every bit as troubling as the problems you are now facing.
Excellence is attained by dedication, education, experience and hard work. If you have serious debt problems, you want Dorothy Bunce. For over 35 years Dorothy has been helping hard working Nevada families solve financial problems. Help is only a phone call or email away. If you qualify for her help, she will not keep you waiting to meet with her. See the "Contact Us" tab on this website for Dorothy's contact information.
A Fresh Start Law is the place where you can start to resolve many kinds of financial problems. Bankruptcy cannot solve every problem. We have helped so many people free themselves of collection calls. Take a few moments to read our client reviews.

Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins is well known for designing and inking tattoos, which makes the partnership of his eponymous brand with the Field Museum of Natural History a perfect match. The Field Museum is running a special Tattoo Exhibit that explores the history of tattoos from across the globe, displays tattooed silicone models inked by current artists, and even has an in-house tattoo studio where visitors can watch hapless bloggers get a permanent work of art placed on their bodies.
It didn't hurt. Honest.
I confess that I said yes to the tattoo because my artist would be Oliver Peck of Ink Master fame. Oliver doesn't talk much while he's working (okay by me), he's super-fast (also okay), and most importantly, he obviously knows what he's doing. Me? I put on my best game face and watched him etch a lovely Sailor Jerry swallow onto my ankle. It's perfect and I love it.
The audience, it turns out, is a big help when you don't want to flinch in front of a television celeb. I'm pretty sure no one knew it was my first tattoo until I fessed up.
The Sailor Jerry folks had another motive for inviting a crowd of tattoo enthusiasts. They've recently extended the brand to include a Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, which they invited us to sample at the Field Bistro after the tattooing.
I had the Sailor Jerry version of a Dark and Stormy while my un-inked companion tried the daiquiri. It was hard to make a complete assessment in a mixed drink, though I will offer that unlike spiced rums I've tried, this one didn't have a huge amount of vanilla and seemed to play well with ginger beer. Yum.
While the slots for getting inked at the Field Museum are booked, you can still enjoy the exhibit until April 30. The Sailor Jerry Rum you can enjoy until the bottom of the glass. The tattoos? Those can be yours to enjoy forever. Bottoms up!

THE combination of lots of turn and a slow outfield saw a low-scoring game as the under-16 Emerald Brothers snared their first win of the season against the Blackwater Bilbies.
Brothers won the toss and elected to bat and the lively wicket meant no batsman made any great inroads, with Trent Drake top scorer on 12 and Cory Butler and Binura Gunasinghe both on 11.
Best bowling for Blackwater came from Jayden Williams who took 3-9 and Trey Cronin 2-11, and Brothers were all out for 75.
First ball for the Blackwater innings, delivered by Aaron Brown, smashed the middle stump to dismiss opener Trey Cronin.
Second over and Josh Lewin snared a wicket, followed by a further wicket for Aaron in the third.
Blackwater never recovered from this top order collapse and no batsman was able to make double figures, despite a valiant effort by Matt Wood on nine.
THOMAS McKenzie was outstanding with bat and ball to help the under-13 Blackwater Bilbies defeat the Emerald Brothers at the weekend. The Bilbies travelled to Marist College for the match, winning the toss and electing to bat. Openers Thomas McKenzie and Davis Meadows got their team off to a flying start as McKenzie made a solid 86 and Meadows 32, as Blackwater reached the impressive figures of 4-226.
Best bowling figures for Brothers were Tye Hemel 2-26 off four overs, Jackson Williams 1-15 off four and Josh Brown 1-36 off four.
In response, Brothers were bowled out for 120 runs in the 26th over.
Isaac Dowling top scored for Brothers with 33 and was well supported by Liam Farley on 27. McKenzie produced Blackwater's best figures with 3-18.

Nobody seems to think the Kansas City Chiefs can beat the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. The latest betting line I've seen has the Broncos favored by 8.5 points. The pundits are attributing the spread to the Chiefs lack of offense and QB Peyton Manning's ability to pick apart defenses, even good ones like Kansas City has.
They're implying that the one-dimensional offensive Broncos are that much better at what they do well than the Chiefs are at their defensive phase of expertise. Kansas City has won three games this season by 8.5 points or less, here's a look at them:
Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, the Chiefs were clinging to a one-point lead with 3:48 left to play. QB Alex Smith handed the ball off to RB Jamaal Charles nine times. He ran for 54 of his 55 total yards rushing on the day and Kansas City picked up three first downs. When Cowboys QB Tony Romo got the ball back, he was standing on his own four-yard line with :16 and no timeouts to work with. The offense ran down a 17-16 victory.
In the fourth quarter of Week 7's matchup with the Houston Texans, the Chiefs once again led by one. This time Houston QB Case Keenum started from his own 10 and had 1:41 to win with. Twelve seconds later he was lying on his back under LB Tamba Hali and fellow LB Derrick Johnson was cradling the football. Game over. Chalk one up to the defense.
Against the Cleveland Browns the following week, Kansas City had a 20-17 lead with 7:13 remaining in the game and they were backed up. On fourth-and-10, Chiefs P Dustin Colquitt stepped out of his own end zone and put his signature spin on a 43-yard punt. Browns wideout Davone Bess muffed it and special teamer Frank Zombo recovered for Kansas City.
Six plays later, Colquitt landed another of his league-leading punts inside the 20 at the Cleveland 16, when Bess wisely fair-caught it. QB Jason Campbell had 3:55 on the clock and no timeouts. After a failed fourth-and-seven from the Browns 31, the Chiefs took over on downs. Kicker Ryan Succop padded their lead on a 40-yard field goal with :22 remaining. The special teams had made the difference.
In close games in the fourth quarter, all three phases of Kansas City's game have stepped up and helped the undefeated Chiefs win. We'll see on Sunday who the real one-trick pony is.

Taylor Swift kicked off her four nights of concerts in Los Angeles in a big way.
Last night was Taylor's first of four shows at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and fans were treated to a special performance by none other than Justin Bieber!
During her set, Taylor asked the audience if it was ok if she brought out "her friend Justin" and the crowd went wild. Then Bieber ran onto the stage and the two started singing his hit song "Baby."
After the show, Taylor took to her twitter to say, "Dear amazing LA crowd tonight, God only knows what I'd be without you.
"You think you've heard LOUD screaming in your life... Then Justin Bieber comes out and does a surprise song during your show. Woah. Unreal."
Bieber adds, "We should do that more often... great show! Much love."
Take a look at the surprise performance below. This is only Taylor's first night in LA, so we can't wait to see if she pulls out any more surprises throughout the week.

Most Americans are familiar with images of Rosie the Riveter as a champion of women in the workforce during World War II. It's also fairly common knowledge that the shift away from so-called "traditional" gender roles that began during WWII and intensified after the war led to the modern feminist movement. The Second World War wasn't the first time American women entered the workforce in large numbers though – the same thing happened during World War I! So why did the 1940s and 50s usher in a new era of gender relations instead of the 1920s?

Costumes Now
When Seaford Bonfire Society re-formed in December 2010 a committee was formed and discussions took place on the costumes that would mean something to Seaford.
Being a coastal town Seaford has a long association with smuggling and piracy so for our first pioneers (leaders of the procession) pirates seemed the obvious choice. They can be as plain or flamboyant as the wearer wishes with characters from Captain Pugwash to Captain Jack Sparrow for inspiration.
Second choice was the Saxon as Alfred the Great had a palace at nearby Westdean. The name Seaford is derived from the Anglo Saxon 'Sae forde'' meaning a place where you can cross the sea or the river. The choice of costume is again varied with lovely long dresses for the women and lots of dangerous looking weaponry for guys.
Locals, known as 'Wreckers', were responsible for the sinking and looting of many a ship when smuggling was at its peak. They wore knee length breeches, stockings, loose shirts, waistcoats and bandanas. Their faces would have been blacked to help them hide from the authorities. These characters had to be included in our procession.
Lastly we couldn't escape the 'bonfire smuggler' that history named after the shag bird that frequents our shores hence 'The Seaford Shags'.
The hooped jumpers, white trousers, topped with a beanie type woollen hat have become part of bonfire throughout Sussex although there is no history to back this costume. The white trousers would have been difficult to hide at night time while looting the wrecks or moving contraband inland. After looking at all the other societies we chose grey and purple hoops so we would stand out from the rest.
Smugglers Pirates
Please get in touch if you need any help or advice with your costume. We have several members willing to sew or knit items for you or give you guidance. One of the best places to look for cheap costume pieces is local charity shops or eBay.

Software for Project Management
It is not so difficult to find the right software for project management if you are clear on your requirements. There is an array of products, each with a specific set of features, advantages and disadvantages. The prices also vary from one software product to another and from one manufacturer to another. Looking at the present market of software for project management, one may get quite overwhelmed seeing the variety of products and price ranges. It is however not so if you know the different categories and how the products under one category are different from the products under another category.
There are basically six categories of software for project management. These are Desktop, Web Based, Single User, Collaborative, Proprietary and Open Source. If you know which product comes under which category you can easily compare their salient features and choose the one that is more likely to suit your business needs.
For example, a desktop-based project software management solution can work much faster than a web-based solution. However, it cannot support multi users or multiple computers, which is the core of the web-based project management software. For a large project, which requires many people to work and access the system simultaneously, a desktop software solution will not be a prudent idea.
Collaborative software for project management is more like a web-based solution, but offers more functionality. This is why it is regarded as the best kind of software for a large organization. The idea is to make the software accessible to each and every individual working on a project. These team members can view data as well modify those that come under their work portfolio. It thus allows a company to subdivide a large project into several tasks and distribute these tasks to individual team members. Each person in the team is responsible for the work that is assigned to them.
In contrast to the collaborative approach, there exists a single user approach, which allows only one user at a time to make changes in the system. This single user software for project management may work fine for a small project. Moreover, these solutions come at a price that a small organization can easily afford.
Another distinction exists between proprietary and open source categories of project management software. These are two license systems under which the software products are made available to users. A product with a proprietary license may come expensively, but it may offer better functionality over the one that you find under an open license system.
The reason is simple. The products of the first kinds are owned by their manufacturers and they provide after sale services and regular updates to their customers in order to retain their confidence and stay as a brand in the market. The second kinds of products, on the other hand, become your own property once you buy them. Though you have complete freedom to use the software and modify its coding as you like, it is practically not possible for every buyer. As a result, your software for project management gets worn down too fast and its functionality becomes obsolete.

In Animal Farm, what does the end of the book represent in real life?
- print Print
- list Cite
I think that the ending of the book helps to illuminate one of Orwell's fundamental themes. The implication in the ending is that those in the position of political power will always act in a manner that consolidates their own political power and their own sense of control. The ending of the book is one in which the animals and the humans are fundamentally no different. This represents itself in a physical manner, in terms of the animals not being able distinguish between both. At the same time, the political leanings of the pigs also resembles the humans in that both seek to control the animals, deny their sense of voice, and create a hierarchy where power and autonomy rests with those in the position of political control. The ending of the book represents a real- life setting where politics is not idealized nor is it a reflection of what can be. Rather, it is a blunt statement of what is and how difficult real, authentic, and transparent political change can be. The ending of the book is a real life one, one in which the animals recognize that their own sense of political autonomy is blunted by the fact that the pigs, like the humans, control each aspect of their state of being.

Planned Giving
A planned gift is a form of charitable giving made traditionally as a part of your estate planning. Since estate planning is the process of managing your accumulated assets for the present and future, a planned gift is included in a written statement of your overall intentions for your resources. A planned gift may be a part of your expression of your deepest values and an extension of spiritual practice. Through such an act of stewardship you can create the kind of legacy you would like to leave at First Presbyterian Church. Planned gifts take many forms, some of the most popular being a gift conveyed in a will or a charitable gift annuity. You can also use an IRA or an insurance policy to make a planned gift.
The Joseph Fund
The story of Joseph demonstrates his good judgment of stewardship to prepare for difficult times. Through his wisdom, he was able to ensure that people had enough to sustain them in times of abundance and through times of want.
We have developed a second fund that will provide support to our Church in the manner of Joseph. It will allow FPC to save funds for immediate challenges or opportunities. Examples of these may be equipment needs for our church facility or for a special opportunity for our youth program. The money is intended to be spent as determined by the Session and will be continuously spent and regenerated through the needs and generosity of the church.
Making a Bequest
There are a variety of ways in which you might make a charitable gift to First Presbyterian Church as part of planned giving. The most popular types of planned gifts are a gift made by bequest in a will. A bequest allows you to control your assets now – and to benefit FPC in the future. If you already have a will, a simple amendment to it will suffice. If you don't have a will, now is a good time to be proactive and create a will that reflects your spiritual values. The following are illustrations of some of the common types of bequest you can make in your will:
- I give $ _______ [or __% of my estate] to First Presbyterian Church of Granville, for its General Endowment Fund (or for any other Endowment Fund).
- After all of the foregoing bequests have been fulfilled, I give the residue and remainder of my estate to First Presbyterian Church of Granville for its General Endowment Fund (or for any other Endowment Fund).
- In the event none of my children are still living, I give, devise, and bequeath the residue and remainder of my estate to First Presbyterian Church of Granville for its General Endowment Fund (or for any other Endowment Fund).
While the First Presbyterian Church Stewardship Committee members will be pleased to assist you in considering a gift to the church, the information they provide, and the information in this brochure are not intended as legal or financial advice. You should consult your own legal counsel and/or professional financial advisor to ensure that your charitable gifts are appropriate for your tax and financial situation.
The Solomon Endowment Fund
Solomon was the great Old Testament king who was known for his wisdom. He built the Temple in Jerusalem that lasted for hundreds of years and became the center of the Jewish faith. As such, we think it's the perfect namesake for our endowment.
As an endowment fund, it will be invested in accordance with investment policies adopted by the Session to assure both long-term preservation of principal and a predictable source of income for the intended purpose.
First Presbyterian Church has developed an endowment to which a bequest or other planned gift can be directed to specific areas of need:
General Endowment Fund
Includes all unrestricted endowment gifts given to First Presbyterian Church. Proceeds provide support to the work of the Church as interpreted and allocated by the sitting Session.
Mission Endowment
Provides funding for mission giving and other benevolences directed to programs within and beyond the congregation.
Building Endowment
Provides funding for the maintenance and renewal of the Church's building and grounds.
Education Endowment
Funds the Church's educational programs and ministries.
Worship & Arts Endowment
Provides funds to support the Church's worship, music and other arts.

auerbrau (307) Ithaca, New York | March 13, 2011
Really solid place attached to the Montague Book Mill. They serve only craft beer. Most notable, is the larger list of canned beers than bottled beers that they offer. I was surprised to see very, very few local microbrews, but plenty of US and world craft beers. Prices are a nip high. Great sandwiches, service, and some good glassware to go with. Ambiance is very nice, a wonderful spot to stop and have a beer and a sandwich (expensive) if you're wandering western Mass.

This product is very shimmery and looks amazing in the container or if you do a swatch on your hand. On the eye it completely changes. You have to apple many strokes before it turns shimmery. Otherwise it is a very good quality because it is soft and doesn't fly everywhere.
This eyeshadow is my fav and I love it because it so more pigmented and I would love to recommend this to a friend and would also love to buy more of this again and again
The color is Great and make my Green eyes looks amazing. Wish I could try more of Mac because I feel I could fall In Love its those products.
A gorgeous pink colour. It adds a nice pop of colour. I like it on the outside corner of
my eye when I don't want to do a dark smokey look.

Growing up, I was always surrounded by the arts. As a child in New York City, I had a new museum to discover every day. I started taking classes at different places, including the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art. These museums allowed me to surround myself by art from all around the world. I realized that without it we would not know much about our ancestors.
When I moved to Mexico, I continued to explore the arts. I learned about different types of architecture, dance, music, artists, and more. Although coming back to the US and living in Princeton was a hard transition to make, I eventually found other places in Princeton to use as artistic outlets. These included the Princeton Art Museum, Princeton University, McCarter Theater, and the Arts Council. The Arts Council has become like a second home to me over the years. Eventually, I got the opportunity to become an assistant teacher there and help coordinate events for the community. After taking many classes at the Arts Council, I began to take classes at other places as well, including the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.
At PHS we have a great range of arts classes, from choir to studio art. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to be a part of the PHS arts program as much as I would have liked to due to course scheduling and graduation requirements. I love the arts; however, with my schedule consisting of two languages and only one period for an elective, I can't take a visual art class. While many privileged students have had opportunities to explore the arts, some students have not because they are unable to take classes during school, and don't have the money for extracurricular courses.
In order for the Arts department to improve and involve more students, the school needs to have options available to all students after school. Doing so would give people who do not have time during school, or do not have money for classes outside of school, to still take advantage of opportunities involving art. Despite there always being ways to contribute to the school creatively, there seems to be a limited number of options for this outside of school hours. However, these limited choices for the visual arts are, for the most part, only presented to students enrolled in related courses. PHS needs to work on easy accessibility to the arts for all its students.

Some Risk
There is some risk to your security in Greece due to the potential for civil unrest and an underlying threat of terrorism and we advise caution.View Larger Map Close/Open map
Civil unrest
Demonstrations in relation to economic and political developments occur frequently in Greece, often with little warning. Demonstrations primarily occur in Athens, particularly in Syntagma and Omonia Squares. In light of ongoing austerity measures and economic conditions in Greece, further demonstrations are possible. Although tourists have not been targeted in violence surrounding demonstrations, the potential remains for them to be caught up in violence directed at others.
New Zealanders should be aware that strikes occur regularly in Greece, and can cause disruption to public transport, including air travel, sea and rail transport and taxi services.
New Zealanders in Greece are advised to avoid all protests and demonstrations as even those intended to be peaceful have the potential to turn violent. Police may use tear gas and/or water cannons to disperse demonstrations. You should monitor the media and adhere to any restrictions and instructions issued by the local authorities.
New Zealanders who find themselves in an area affected by demonstrations or violence should leave the area if it is safe to do so, or if this is not possible, find a safe location, remain indoors and heed any local advice.
Terrorist groups, including those based in Syria and Iraq, have made threats to conduct attacks across Europe. There is also an ongoing threat of domestic terrorism, often targeting government buildings, police stations, banks and diplomatic and commercial interests. In the past, there have been a number of bomb attacks in urban areas, some of which have resulted in injuries. Further attacks are possible, and could occur anywhere at any time, including in places frequented by tourists.
New Zealanders in Greece are advised to be keep themselves informed of potential risks to safety and security by monitoring the media and other local information sources. We recommend following any instructions issued by the local authorities and exercising a high degree of vigilance in public places.
Economic situation
The Greek government has imposed capital controls on banking services, including ATM withdrawal limits, however these do not currently apply to most major foreign bank cards.
New Zealanders travelling or living in Greece should be aware of the continuing possibility that available retail banking services throughout Greece, including access to cash from ATMs and credit card payment acceptance, may become limited at short notice.
We recommend making sure that you have multiple means of payment with you (including cash, debit cards, credit cards) and ensuring that you have enough cash to cover emergencies and any unexpected travel expenses.
Opportunistic petty crime like pickpocketing, bag snatching and passport theft is common in tourist areas and on public transport. Tourists are often targeted on the metro and on the train to and from Athens Airport. We advise New Zealanders to be alert to their surroundings at all times and take steps to safeguard and secure their personal belongings.
General travel advice
New Zealanders travelling or living in Greece should have a comprehensive travel insurance policy in place that includes provision for medical evacuation by air.
New Zealanders in Greece are encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

text: Greetings Veterans. Stumbled on this site looking for therapeutic placement options and haves perused some of the threads and even after seeking out some of the acronyms used on here--still don't know what half of them are. So I'll just speak in English. Situation is this: 16 YO daughter with escalating ODD/pathological lying behaviors for the last eight years. High conflict divorce preceded behavior by a year or two. (who was already strong-willed )Lives with me and another younger sister. Went to live with extremely passive father and abusive wife for last 16 months in a nearby city. Came back to live with me 10 days ago. She is worse than before she left. We have done counseling in the past to no avail and it didn't last. She has excellent coverage on her father's insurance so I made it mandatory that she go to counseling. First session was last evening. She went alone as I had already met with counselor prior alone as well. At this point I only have her feedback from that meeting. (not fruitful I'm sure) I have set up an arrangement that she will be going weekly. Although she tells me that she will not be going. She says lots of things. From my readings on here I know that I am not alone in living with a profanity-laced, utterly disrespectful, willful defiant, apathetic, self-centered child who is imploding before my eyes. I live with Jekyl and the world sees Hyde. She has never responded well to discipline, although easier to "manage" when she was younger. She is a pathological liar and has a very unhealthy internal processing of perceptions. The irony is that she is intelligent, gifted athletically, pretty, makes good grades- even in honors classes- but does not apply herself to her optimum. If she could get her act together and keep it together, she could quite possibly be in contention for a scholarship for athletics. I could go on and on but am pretty confident that she does not have mental illness---has a bent towards mild hyperactivity (that is channeled into sports) but still is extremely emotionally immature and does not find ways to pacify herself, or organize herself. (at home) ***I'm not in denial, I look for EVERYTHING. Also worth mentioning- she is not into drugs, mild experimentation, but I can't even get this girl to take an aspirin. She does have anxiety that she will admit to but I think it is much much more than that and she internalizes it. Sounds like a spoiled brat with indulgent passive parenting right? It would to me too. But I can assure you that she has NOT been overindulged, coddled or manipulated me. (That is part of her rub, it doesn't work on me.) Bottom line is this....I need to remove her from my home. Do not think the counseling will garner much traction but will stick with it and require it of her until I can get a plan B in action. Don't know if I can wait until this semester of school is over. I am living an absolute nightmare. And it is adversely affecting my 14 yo other daughter.(Who is a different bird and only have "normal" teenage issues with.) And I refuse to live this way. Have been all over the net looking into therapeutic wilderness programs---she is not extremely prissy and it would be potentially a therapeutic setting for her,as well as therapeutic residential schools. Have even looking into state run residential option (relinquishing parental rights as I'm reading in some cases). Returning to her father's house not a good idea. Step-mom abusive. He allows it and does not protect her. She and her father have about the same emotional maturity, but he's fun to be around sometimes. As many of you, know these facilities and programs are astronomically priced. There is no way I could afford these. I have not a clue what to do. I need a miracle. And I'm pretty tapped at spinning my wheels on the net researching etc. Not to mention the regurgitation of the case study. I have been proactive about this for years. Altered my parenting, have made mistakes as we all do with our 1st born. Read dozens of books, remained consistent, but I live not in guilt for what I have or haven't done. All that said, I realize that she is crying out for help, Yet I can't make her be receptive or responsive. This is her problem, her choices and consequences. Reprieve. Sigh.

Microsoft boss Bill Gates his unveiled the technology giant's latest operating system, Windows Vista.
It's the next generation operating system which follows on from Windows XP and its launch has been accompanied by the unveiling of a new 2007 Office system.
Microsoft has hailed Windows Vista and 2007 Microsoft Office as '… the most thoroughly tested software releases in Microsoft's history'.
The BBC predicts 100 million computers worldwide will be using Vista within 12 months.
Microsoft's Bill Gates has said Vista will revolutionise everything from how we make telephone calls to how we watch television.
Windows Vista
He added: 'Personal computers have become a key part of the daily lives of almost a billion people worldwide. Millions of consumers had a hand in helping us design, test and create the most exciting versions of Windows and Office we've ever released. Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 squarely address the needs and aspirations of people around the globe.'
For a Tuesday morning store celebration, DSG International PLC's flagship PC World store in central London hired costumed characters, including Sherlock Holmes to signify security and a movie star to emphasize multimedia.
PC World spokesman Hamish Thompson said some retailers are banking on the new system to push customers toward the higher-end machines needed to run Vista – which imposes such hardware requirements as 1 gigabyte of system memory, or RAM.
Consumers will also need to upgrade older software and devices to work with Vista.

Treat Yo'self to Kester Black's Summer Shades
Price: $20 AUD
Where to Buy: www.kesterblack.com
It may not seem like it with this frosty air but summer will be here before we know it and if you're like me, winter can be a time where you kinda shrug off some of the fun beauty stuff for more important regimes like making sure your skin doesn't dry out to some scaly, lizard-like thing.
Nothing kicks you back into gear more quickly than a bright new set of nail colours so when Kester Black sent me their new summer range to review I felt inspired to stop biting my fingers for a little minute and prep them for a makeover. You'll have a bunch to choose from too, with 4 new shades ripe and ready for paintin'.
Take the colour of the sea with you wherever you go with Terrarium, the ultimate bright aqua to add the perfect pop of colour to your summer look. If the blue/green tones are your thing but you want to tone it down a little, you'll bloody love Cumulus, a light and powdery blue to help cool you down when the heat is too much to bear. And what would summer be without a neon pink, huh? Barbie is just that, bright and bold for a powerful statement nail. Last but not least, I have to say my pick of the bunch is Blossom cos it's hella pastel pink perfection in a bottle. I'm wearing it right now!
The thing I love most about Kester Black (okay, second most because their products are number 1) is that they're committed to ethical beauty. Polishes are water permeable and five-free, meaning they don't contain any weird junk that harms you or our environment and sustainable production methods like using recyclable materials and small batch manufacturing mean you're not only getting quality stuff but you're also being kinder to the planet while looking super duper fly. And of course Kester Black products are completely vegan and accredited by Choose Cruelty Free, Cruelty Free International and the Vegan Society. Pretty cool, huh?
So, if the cooler weather has left your nails feeling a little neglected, pick your fave shade (or two) and get paintin'!
Wanna win some Kester Black nail polish? Be sure to head on over to Instagram and enter Like a Vegan's 6th Birthday ExtraVeganza for a chance at winning over $500 worth of vegan prizes!

I lost my mother about a year after she was diagnosed with leukemia. My sister is now being treated for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. We had and have many offers of help that can sometimes be overwhelming. Here are a couple of links with ways to help manage offers of help that I have been told about and thought I'd share with my readers.
One of the many difficult aspects of dealing with cancer or other long term illnesses is that, often, when the person is first diagnosed, there is almost too much support, so overwhelming for the sick person, it's just easier for them to say they don't need anything when in fact they truly do, and then, as the treatment continues for many months thereafter, the offers for support dwindles, while the person is left to cope with the emotional, logistical and physical effects of the disease and treatment.
Lots a Helping Hands is a site that helps to coordinate the welcome, but overwhelming and time-consuming onslaught of offers to help someone deal with a long-term illness.
Processing these offers can often be as time-consuming as a part-time job, an added burden for the person with cancer and his or her family.
They allow a person to become a coordinator, who can transform the people asking "how can I help?" and offering "call me if you need ANYTHING!" into actual meals, rides, babysitting, etc that meet the family's needs and schedule, without requiring the family to deal with the logistics.
The family gives the coordinator the guidelines, kind of like a "gift registry" of help that would be welcome. Then, when people want to help, they are given the website, and can choose to offer something specific from the list of available needs. Details can be provided, such as dietary requirements, travel issues, whatever.
The list can be kept private, and shared only with those that have been invited.
It allows people from all the different social circles of a family's life to work together with minimal overhead. This tool prevents the typical situations of 14 meals on Monday, with no meals for the rest of the week; or a beautiful gift waiting on the front step when the family planned to be away, just that one evening.
This way, when someone asks, "How can I help?" they can be thanked, and directed to the website for follow-up. The person offering can then later look for something that meets his or her schedule and ability.
If it seems like too much for one person, it is also possible to have one person coordinate for meals, another for rides, another for babysitting, etc. These co-coordinators must all be able to communicate well with one another because there will be inevitable crossover of offers.
Chemo Angels targets both those actively undergoing Chemotherapy or radiation and those who are elderly and shut-in and matches them with a committed person, who sends letters, cards, gifts, trinkets, and cheer in the mail. Nothing is expected of the recipient in terms of communication, none of the gifts or cards need be acknowledged or reciprocated.
The recipient has to sign up for this. Once signed up, the recipient fills out a form indicating personal preferences.
It might seem cheesy to get support from strangers, but by all accounts, it really works. Many of those who sign up to become Chemo Angles are cancer survivors or family members of a cancer survivor. Often, when a patient stops being a recipient, they sign up to become a Chemo Angel for someone else.
Even if this program isn't for you, you can find some great material on the site that offers suggestions about how to be helpful and supportive to someone undergoing a long-term illness.

Mo Farah's coach Alberto Salazar has again found himself at the centre of doping allegations after a leaked report alleged he may have abused prescription medicines and drug infusions.
The Sunday Times published a leaked report from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which stated that Salazar, the head coach at the Nike Oregon Project in Portland, gave six leading American runners intravenous drip infusions which "almost certainly" broke anti-doping rules.
Salazar has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to his work with athletes at the Oregon training centre, which first surfaced in a BBC Panorama programme in June 2015.
Farah has also denied ever having breached anti-doping regulations, and posted a strong rejection of the Sunday Times story on his Facebook page.
It's deeply frustrating that I'm having to make an announcement on this subject. I am a clean athlete who has never…
Posted by Mo Farah on Sunday, 26 February 2017
The leaked USADA report says athletes were given infusions of the chemical L-carnitine, a naturally-produced amino acid prescribed as a supplement for heart and muscle disorders.
It is not a banned substance for athletes but infusions of more than 50 millilitres in the space of six hours are prohibited.
The Sunday Times says USADA was also, separately, still investigating the use of L-carnitine by Farah at the time the leaked report was written in March 2016.
The newspaper claims Salazar even boasted to Lance Armstrong of the "amazing" benefits of the drug before the disgraced former cyclist's downfall.
The Sunday Times says that the USADA report contains allegations that Salazar gave athletes, including Farah, prescription drugs they had no medical need for in order to aid performance.
For Farah, the Sunday Times says, this included potentially dangerous doses of permitted vitamin D medication to boost his testosterone levels.
The USADA document said that Farah's British doctors intervened over concerns for his health, the Sunday Times reports.
It also reportedly says Farah was given an infusion of L-carnitine shortly before his London marathon debut in 2014 from medical staff at UK Athletics, who were advised by Salazar and his staff.
The volume of that infusion is unknown.
BREAKING: Leaked Usada report accuses coach Alberto Salazar of endangering Mo Farah with drugs https://t.co/49mHYbHkDR pic.twitter.com/fzmC5KknBY
— The Sunday Times (@thesundaytimes) February 25, 2017
UK Athletics, speaking on behalf of the doctor who administered the infusion, said in a statement to the Sunday Times: "To our knowledge, all doses administered and methods of administration have been fully in accordance with WADA (World Anti-doping Agency) approved protocol and guidelines."
The Sunday Times says Farah told them two years ago that he had "tried a legal energy drink" containing L-carnitine, but "saw no benefit" and did not continue with it.
The USADA report also accuses Salazar of looking to impede its investigation, the newspaper claims.
Salazar said athletes were given L-carnitine in "exactly the way USADA directed", the Sunday Times says.
USADA released a statement confirming it had prepared a report "in response to a subpoena from a state medical licensing body regarding care given by a physician to athletes associated with the Nike Oregon Project", and that "a draft of this report was leaked to the Sunday Times by the Russian state-affiliated hacker group known as 'Fancy Bears".
"We understand that the licensing body is still deciding its case and as we continue to investigate whether anti-doping rules were broken, no further comment will be made at this time," the statement added.
"Importantly, all athletes, coaches and others under the jurisdiction of the World Anti-Doping Code are innocent and presumed to have complied with the rules unless and until the established anti-doping process declares otherwise. It is grossly unfair and reckless to state, infer or imply otherwise."

Offshore Marine Aquaculture:
Multiple Administrative and Environmental Issues Need to Be Addressed in Establishing a U.S. Regulatory Framework
GAO-08-594: Published: May 9, 2008. Publicly Released: May 9, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9846
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
U. S. aquaculture--the raising of fish and shellfish in captivity--has generally been confined to nearshore coastal waters or in other water bodies, such as ponds, that fall under state regulation. Recently, there has been an increased interest in expanding aquaculture to offshore waters, which would involve raising fish and shellfish in the open ocean, and consequently bringing these types of operations under federal regulation. While the offshore expansion has the potential to increase U.S. aquaculture production, no comprehensive legislative or regulatory framework to manage such an expansion exists. Instead, multiple federal agencies have authority to regulate different aspects of offshore aquaculture under a variety of existing laws that were not designed for this purpose. In this context, GAO was asked to identify key issues that should be addressed in the development of an effective regulatory framework for U.S. offshore aquaculture. In conducting its assessment, GAO administered a questionnaire to a wide variety of key aquaculture stakeholders; analyzed laws, regulations, and key studies; and visited states that regulate nearshore aquaculture industries. Although GAO is not making any recommendations, this review emphasizes the need to carefully consider a wide array of key issues as a regulatory framework for offshore aquaculture is developed. Agencies that provided official comments generally agreed with the report.
In developing a regulatory framework for offshore aquaculture, it is important to consider a wide array of issues, which can be grouped into four main areas. (1) Program administration: Addressing the administration of an offshore program at the federal level is an important aspect of a regulatory framework. Stakeholders that GAO contacted and key studies that GAO reviewed identified specific roles and responsibilities for federal agencies, states, and regional fishery management councils. Most stakeholders and the studies agreed that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) should be the lead federal agency and emphasized that coordination with other federal agencies will also be important. In addition, stakeholders and some of the studies recommended that the states play an important role in the development and implementation of an offshore aquaculture program. (2) Permitting and site selection: It will also be important to establish a regulatory process that clearly identifies where aquaculture facilities can be located and for how long. For example, many stakeholders stated that offshore facilities will need the legal right, through a permit or lease, to occupy an area of the ocean. However, stakeholders varied on the specific terms of the permits or leases, including their duration. Some stakeholders said that longer permits could make it easier for investors to recoup their investments, while others said that shorter ones could facilitate closer scrutiny of environmental impacts. This variability is also reflected in the approaches taken by states that regulate aquaculture in their waters. One state issues 20-year leases while another issues shorter leases. Stakeholders supported various approaches for siting offshore facilities, such as case-by-case site evaluations and prepermitting some locations. (3) Environmental management: A process to assess and mitigate the environmental impacts of offshore operations is another important aspect of a regulatory framework. For example, many stakeholders told GAO of the value of reviewing the potential cumulative environmental impacts of offshore operations over a broad ocean area before any facilities are sited. About half of them said that a facility-by-facility environmental review should also be required. Two states currently require facility-level reviews for operations in state waters. In addition, stakeholders, key studies, and state regulators generally supported an adaptive monitoring approach to ensure flexibility in monitoring changing environmental conditions. Other important areas to address include policies to mitigate the potential impacts of escaped fish and to remediate environmental damage. (4) Research: Finally, a regulatory framework needs to include a federal research component to help fill current gaps in knowledge about offshore aquaculture. For example, stakeholders supported federally funded research on developing (1) alternative fish feeds, (2) best management practices to minimize environmental impacts, (3) data on how escaped aquaculture fish might impact wild fisheries, and (4) strategies to breed and raise fish while effectively managing disease. A few researchers said that the current process of funding research for aquaculture is not adequate because the research grants are funded over periods that are too short to accommodate certain types of research, such as hatchery research and offshore demonstration projects.
