Imagine that Dan's Solar Shack (a make-believe company) is a small developer in upstate New York. After stepping in as a subcontractor on a few small projects in 2011, Dan's moved on to develop its own opportunities in 2013. With local relationships from Syracuse to Rochester, the company installed 200 kilowatts of projects under the NYSERDA solar program, and even built a 1.3-megawatt project with a school.
With more experience under their belts, the owners grew hungry for more. But where to go in 2014?
Rumors of lucrative incentives in Massachusetts and D.C., plentiful space in North Carolina, and a great combination of sun, high rates and good incentives in California came up against those markets' drawbacks: complicated development hurdles, a dearth of state tax equity, and overcrowding. Dan knew it was time to expand geographically, but wasn't sure where to set up shop.
The four questions below can serve as a framework for determining which markets are ideal for solar developers' expansion strategies as they navigate the same issues that Dan is facing. The framework assumes the regulatory prerequisites that allow for a functioning solar market -- for example, the market should allow for third-party finance in the form of PPAs if a company hopes to get substantial volume in the door.
In addition, some policy for net metering that ensures valuation for excess energy production is essential. After removing the non-PPA states, the serious work for selecting the next frontier begins by considering these complex questions.
1. Financial realities: Can projects realistically pencil out in this market?
With falling input costs and even reduced return requirements across the industry, a surprising variety of projects can make it across the finish line, as long as they are soundly developed. With this in mind, an optimistic pro-forma with some basic assumptions for a given market showing low-single-digit returns could be an early warning that the market is going to be too lean. Use a simple tool like the Solar Advisor Model or In My Backyard to make a calculation, rather than relying on assumptions based on a first impression.
If a market has dirt-cheap electricity (or seemingly high prices that decompose into cheap energy and pricey capacity) with minimal incentives and typical insolation levels, development opportunities may be pretty limited. Researching incentives, typical production and electricity rates should yield insight into whether a market can realistically support a project. Not every market will carry the same returns.
A decent spot check would entail comparing the new market's value proposition against the current one. Any potential market should have similarly compelling economics.
2. The opportunity-competition nexus: Is the market the right amount of crowded?
There is a positive correlation between how strong a given market is and how competitive it is. Picking the right balance is a lot like choosing a restaurant -- you want to go somewhere that has a good crowd, but you still want to be able to get a table.
Lucrative markets such as Washington, D.C. and California continue to draw attention from expanding developers; however, saturation can squeeze margins and limit project opportunities. Conversely, the abundance of empty tables (i.e., rooftops) in Wyoming exists for a reason.
Ideally, expanding developers should look to claim territory in markets that appear to be underserved relative to their potential value, whether due to new incentive programs, clarified legislation on net metering, rising electricity rates or other changes that boost solar's appeal.
3. Market readiness: Can you tolerate development hurdles that warp project timelines?
Some markets are fairly plug-and-play in terms of readiness. If you find a 600-kilowatt behind-the-meter PPA deal in Southern California that has decent returns, there doesn't need to be a lot of waiting between origination and construction, as long as the financing component falls into place.
However, plenty of markets are mired in hurry-up-and-wait situations. In New York, developers have had to wait for months to find out what incentives will look like, apply for those incentives, and then sit through the decision-making process to see which projects win incentives. While incentive rounds can create bumpy development cycles, some states have regulatory hurdles that feature similar delays -- specifically, the conditional-use permit in California can create an empty waiting period.
With this in mind, expansion into these markets may require the patience and resources to be able to stay afloat and busy during waiting periods. Otherwise, it's best to avoid markets that require heavy work only to reach a waiting period where little else can be accomplished for the project.
4. Competitive edge: Which market will respond best to my areas of strength?
The hardest question to answer is likely the most important one -- that is, after the more binary issues have been cleared away. Competitive advantage can be derived from a number of domains -- developers may find that they have a particular proficiency within a specific project-size range or host entity type, or in monetizing an incentive program. Matching those specialties with characteristics of new markets will be central to selecting the right locations for expanded operations.
For example, fast-track permitting processes for small projects can facilitate quick, robust rollout for small commercial developers, while markets with competitive bidding processes for feed-in tariffs may only work for low-cost models. Other programs may make room for brownfield projects, which separates different types of project developers. The list goes on. But for every developer with a given edge, there's likely a solar market that rewards it.
Thomas Larson works closely with Sol Systems' development network to originate project opportunities.

Famous Actor Guided By Mysterious Force...
By Matthew Norman
Sir Anthony Hopkins is no doubt one of the greatest actors to ever grace the silver screen.
But did you know that the universe may have had a hand in his wildly successful career?
It's something called "vibrational guidance"...
Which not a lot of people are even aware of.
Back in 1974, Hopkins was set to star in a film called "The Girl from Petrovka," based on a book by author George Feifer.
Not long after he'd signed on, Hopkins went to London in search of a copy of the book.
Yet after going through several bookshops, he couldn't find a single copy.
Frustrated, the actor entered Leicester Square to board a train home.
That was when he spotted an open package on a nearby bench.
Though he was wary of it, something spurred him to look inside.
Some call it intuition.
But it's really a fundamental science...
Specifically, the science of vibration.
Now here's what makes this story incredible...
Inside the package, Hopkins discovered the very book he had been looking for all this time!
Not only that, but it was the original manuscript the author had written, with many important notes in the margin...
Notes that helped Hopkins immensely as he prepared for his role in the film.
However, that wasn't the only "miracle" resulting from the universe's guiding hand...
Two years later while filming in Vienna, Feifer (the author of the book) visited the set.
During a conversation with Hopkins, Feifer mentioned he didn't even have a copy of his own book.
Puzzled, Hopkins showed the book he'd found, and Feifer confirmed that it was indeed his original copy.
Most people would dismiss this story as mere coincidence.
Yet, once you watch this free presentation, you'll realize that there's no such thing as coincidence...

Practicing for the Circus
Our kids had their first full day of school today, giving me a little breathing room to start sewing. In preparation for the Hat Circus coming up, I tried out a hat-and-scarf ensemble with a little fleece rose.
Exhibit A:
A closer view of the rose:
In non-knitting back-to-school news, we brought snack the first day of school; I know this was over the top, but Belle and I made these:
I didn't make these to throw down the gauntlet for other parents, but rather because I have an irresistible fascination for things that look like other things.

Originally reviewed at Witchmag's Boekenplank
It took some time for me to get into the story. At first it felt a bit distant and I had some trouble with connecting to the characters. The book and story didn't stand out from all the other paranormal stories I've read. It felt more like been there, done that. Till mystery was added to the mix. A missing page in a centuries old important book. Which might or might not hold all the answers… From that moment on I was intrigued and I started to enjoy the book
Jax and the rest of her friends felt a little on the thin "side" at first, they were flat. Therefore my connection problems. There was no real depth in the emotions they displayed. Especially from Jax I expected more, besides her daily anxiety for discovery, since she's our main character. Besides the lack of heartfelt emotion I had also problems with the whole running away scheme. I know it's not easy, running for your live and building a whole new existence somewhere else. But everything went too smooth, to the point that it made me skeptical (I know, maybe watched a bit too much movies, but still…). Fortunately later on everything changed for the better and was I fully connected to lively, full characters and a story where not everything went as Jax thought it would go.
Talking about Jax, I really loved her honesty. When she arrived at the point where she could not hide her identity anymore, she didn't postpone the inevitable, didn't try to come up with excuses, but just told the truth. Even if it might be the end of her friendships. Cause who can be friends with the hunter, when you're the one he hunts?
The plot was nice too and it was not the usual story where someone transfers to a new school. No here we have a young girl running for her life. Only so she can be different, so she doesn't succumb and gives in to the dark side (oooh Star Wars moment ). It was amazing to see how thorough Jax had considered everything. Nothing was left to chance. Much attention was paid to the temptation of giving in, to become evil, to use her powers again. And Jax had to try to refuse, cause otherwise she would be found…. Throw a very handsome Hunter in the mix and some romance and I'm in.
3 HEARTS. A light and enjoyable story, once you're able to get across the halfway point. Before I felt the characters a bit on the "flat" side and had some trouble with getting into the story. But from the moment when there's some puzzle the solve, the real story finally began and I was genuinely glad that I kept reading. It did help that there was a cute hunter and an even cuter witch, with a not so common story and I was a happy reader.

Given their illegal and unregulated nature, risky procedures are often followed at the clinics, endangering lives. According to the US-based Centre for Reproductive Rights, more than half a million women risk their lives annually by undergoing backstreet abortions. Out of them, about 1,000 die each year.

Getting your clients to open up during therapy can be challenging. Our sentence completion worksheet is designed to help them open up so you can get the conversation started.
When clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings, it becomes easier to explore and assess the internal issues that may be affecting self esteem. We've listed a couple of sentence completion prompts and potential answers to show how useful the technique can be for guiding sessions.
When clients struggle to open up, self-exploration through sentence completion can be a useful solution. Our Sentence Completion Worksheet is a printable resource that helps support client sessions by introducing discussion topics. Upon the completion of the worksheet, both you and your clients will have an abundant amount of information to discuss and build on.
|Purpose Statement
|Right now, I'm happy that __________.
|Right now, I'm happy that my favorite hockey team won last night.
|It is important to defuse the tension between you and your client with a relatively harmless example.
|I'd really enjoy __________.
|I'd really enjoy slapping my therapist in the face.
|Comedic relief is a powerful tool in defusing potential tension between you and your client. In addition, this example shows the client that you won't take offense to their responses.
|I secretly enjoy __________.
|I secretly enjoy watching chick flicks.
|Again, this helps diffuse the client/doctor tension by admitting that you can be masculine and enjoy "chick flicks."
|Today I fear that __________.
|Today I fear that I'm going to miss out on a great beach day.
|It is important to note that not every response has to be hugely insightful. Your goal is for the client to answer with the first thing that comes to mind, and answers similar to the one provided might regularly occur.
Instruct clients to set aside five minutes 2-3 times a week to answer the Sentence Completion Worksheet. In addition, the worksheet may be used during therapy sessions to assist clients who struggle opening up. Encourage clients to answer without censorship for accurate self-exploration.

A beginner's guide to enjoying classic music. No snobs allowed | Music - Washington Post
"Hallelujah": A primer for everyone who wants to learn about what they've been missing, as Washington Post reports.
|Few art forms offer such a grand scale as a symphony orchestra. Here, Belgium's National Orchestra performs on stage during a rehearsal at the Henry Le Boeuf Great Hall at the center of Fine Arts .

Classical music aficionados: Go away. This article is not for you. Instead, it is for everyone who sees classical music as a private club and who feels they're standing outside the clubhouse. It's for those who have been to one or two orchestral concerts but are still not quite sure what they're supposed to be getting out of the experience. It's for those who like the sound of a few classical pieces but want to move beyond Mozart's "A Little Night Music" and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and the flower duet from "Lakme" — trust me, you've heard it; look it up — and take a deeper dive into the repertoire.
But concert programs list unfamiliar names, without much guidance into how to choose between them, and when you type Mozart into Spotify you get a wall of tracks, many of them different versions of the same thing. For anyone who relates to any part of this description, here's a field guide with a few points to keep in mind as you exercise your classical muscles and seek out which territory, in this wide-ranging field, feels most like home.

Kyrgyzstan - Hill Country Oasis
Kyrgyzstan, also known as the Kyrgyz Republic, is located in northern East Asia. Covering an area of 198,500 square kilometers, its population is 5.04 million people, 65% of whom are Kyrgyz, with others Russian, ethnic Uzbeks, Ukrainians, and other Eastern ethnicities. 70% of the population are muslim. Mandarin is spoken by the Kyrgyz, but Russian is the official language. The currency is the som. The capital is Bishkek (Bishkek).
National Flag
The flag of Kyrgyzstan is rectangular and red. In the middle is a golden sun, with the sun in a circular pattern like the Earth.
The country has been documented from the 3rd century BC. From the 6th to 13th century, the Kyrgyz Khanate was established. It was annexed by tsarist Russia in 1876. From November 1917 to June 1918, Soviet power was estabished. On October 14, 1924, the Autonomous Republic of Kyrgyz Kara was established, part of the Soviet Union. On August 31, 1991, the Kyrgyz Supreme Soviet's Declaration of Independence was adopted by the State, formally declaring independence and changing the country's name to the Kyrgyz Republic. In the same year, on December 21, Kyrgyzstan joined the CIS.
Economic and cultural
Kyrgyzstan's economy is dominated by agriculture, growing wheat, barley, rice, and so on. Cash crops are cotton, tobacco, and sugar beet. The Fergana Basin has more orchards. Animal husbandry, mainly the sheep industry, has been developed for both wool and meat. With a weak industrial base, the machinery manufacturing industry occupies an important position, in addition to the mining industry, light industry, and food industry.
Kyrgyzstan has abundant mineral resources, mainly gold, antimony, and tungsten, and ranks third in the world production of antimony. Rare animals of Kyrgyzstan are deer, brown bears, wild boars, lynx, and snow leopards.
An ice-free lake in the mountains of northern Tianshan. Covering an area of 6280 square km, it is one of the largest mountain lakes in the world, second only to Lake Titicaca in South America. With an average depth of 278 m and maximum depth 702 m, the water is transparent to more than twelve meters. There are more than fifty rivers flowing into the lake. Though there is no outlet for this lake, the lake has been declining, increasing the water's salinity, hence the name "Tucci pool." Most of the lake area has beautiful bathing beaches. With the lakes and mountains, beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and crystal clear mineral water, there are well-equipped, very comfortable and modern tourist hotels, and it is a very good vacation and health resort.

Janice Collins recalls a family friend of her father who lived much longer than anyone expected. Shared Stories is a weekly column featuring articles by participants in a writing class at the Norwalk Senior Center. Bonnie Mansell is the instructor for this free class offered through the Cerritos College Adult Education Program. Curated by Carol Kearns.
By Janice Collins
When I was a teenager in Stratton, Colo., my father and uncle would visit with Carl Mages. Carl was also from Kansas, when we used to live. He remained a bachelor all his life because his doctors told him he probably wouldn't live long.
Carl felt he needed special foods to recover from a dysentery he got in the service in World War I. It was later determined that he was suffering from an amoeba germ caused by the flu.
Carl started a diet of his own which consisted of black-eyed peas, onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, cabbage, cranberry sauce, and sometimes a little beef or venison. It's my opinion that when he ate the meat it was because he was hungry for it.
Carl also suffered from ulcers and a tumor on his colon, but in 1953 he went to an Indian doctor in Oklahoma. Carl was thankful to her for helping him rid himself of most of his health problems. guess his stomach problems were solved with herbs – Indian remedies. Later in life Carl developed diabetes and followed doctor's orders regarding diet.
As though he didn't already have enough problems, Carl then was hit with a terrible dizziness resulting from a broken gland at the back of his skull.
He was advised to move to a higher altitude, hoping to end his dizzy spells. He sold his Kansas land and bought a section or so at Stratton. Carl rented a room at the Collins hotel in Stratton where he made many friends.
After his retirement from farming, Carl moved to New Mexico and lived there for 28 years in government housing. He said he sat and watched traffic go by on the interstate highway for entertainment. Carl lived there until he suffered from a bad fall and had to move back with family in Kansas.
At the age of 95 Carl was looking forward to his 100th birthday, and he actually lived into his hundreds. As far as I can remember, he lived to about 104. A news reporter found out about Carl and his life story was published in a Kansas paper.
I remember how much Carl liked people. He would fish at Bonny Dam with us, but I believe his favorite thing was playing ball with us kids. Carl was a jolly soul, always joking and laughing.

Primary 4 Built a Roman Road
Primary 4 had great fun learning about how the Romans built their roads. After they learnt about the different layers and the materials that were used, it was time to build their own Roman Roads.
The children used various healthy foods to construct their road. They used grapes as the large rocks of the foundations, muesli as the small stones and pebbles used to fill in the gaps. Natural yoghurt and raisins as the concrete with broken stones and tiles then finally sliced apple as the cobble stones on top.
"This is Roman Triffle!" Nikolaos
"It smells delicious!" Jude
"It smells Romanlicious!" Aaron
"It tastes like weetabix mixed with grapes" Maddi
"It tastes like paradise!" Adan
"We learned how to make great food." Kebba
"We learnt how to have a healthy diet and in a fun way how to build a Roman road." Nikolaos
"We made the layers of food to see how the Romans built the roads." Ali

Will be quoting for the next 11 months, at least.
Somehow a family member snagged a bootleg copy of Juno over the weekend. I'd already seen it in the theater, but you couldn't pay me to pass up seeing it again. Especially from the comfort of my own living room. Oh, and dear Federal Bureau of Investigation, I do solemnly swear that I have NO IDEA where said bootlegged copy came from. Swear. I'm not kidding.
Oh my God I love this movie. Seriously.
Ellen Page and Michael Cera are fantastic. I am in absolute love with them. And I've never heard so many excellent one-liners. The movie is hilarious and touching and completely worth the possibility of going to prison for watching a stolen copy.
Of course, because I'm a girl, my favorite part of the film, other than the use of the words "pork swords" to describe male genitalia, is the relationship between Juno and Paulie Bleeker. It's so genuine. She refers to him as the cheese to her macaroni, for crying out loud.
Who doesn't understand that feeling?
Juno's dad tells her the best thing she can do is find someone who loves her for exactly who she is.
"Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with," he tells her.
Bleeker and Juno, at just 16, of course, have such a blatantly honest relationship. It's cringe-worthy at moments, but endearing.
"I think I'm, like, in love with you," she tells him. "'Cause you're, like, the coolest person I've ever met. And you don't even have to try, you know?"
I love that. Anyone can fall for the washed-up, "I can see my soul in your eyes, I want to spend my life with you" crap, but what we really want to be is the cheese in someone's macaroni. The coolest person they know.
Or that's just me.
And Bleeker's response to her declaration is best:
"I try really hard, actually."

Not all fleets are convinced of the benefits of air disc brakes. But suppliers maintain there is a growing acceptance of them for heavy-duty trucks, driven by an increase in the deployment of active safety technology, such as collision mitigation and avoidance systems.
Fleets' perspectives run the gamut from, "We love them," as stated by David Stevenson, president of Gilmer, Texas-based Custom Commodities Transport, to "We have not extensively looked [into air disc brakes]" in the case of Dan Deppeler, vice president of maintenance at Paper Transport Inc. The company wants to see better economics first, he said, noting the upfront cost for ADBs is significant.
Many variations of those two opposing opinions are out there.
In the case of Hirschbach Motor Lines, where the trucks had been spec'ed with disc brakes at every wheel position — including trailers — the company has reverted to spec'ing drum brakes on the drive axles. However, it is continuing with ADBs on the steer axle of the newer tractors, said John Vesey, the fleet's operations support manager.
The main reason the company went to ADBs was due to advances in disc brake and vehicle design that resulted in weight savings over drum brakes available several years ago, he said. Now he is spec'ing a lightweight steel jacketed brake drum.
"It's pretty much a neutral weight decision," Vesey said. "We looked at cost and we realized the benefit of the disc brake on drive axles wasn't really there for us."
The drive axle disc brakes were plagued with high rotor wear, necessitating rotor replacements that reduced any maintenance savings, he said.
Kirk Altrichter, vice president of fleet services at Kenan Advantage Group, mostly a tank operation, also had problems with early disc brake designs. He only recently came around to spec'ing ADBs — first on trailers and now on steer axles. Altrichter remains on the fence for drive axles.

"I moved everything over last year on trailers, and I moved the steer axle to ADB this year," Altrichter said.
There were weight and cost penalties with early ADBs, but much of that has been eliminated, said Altrichter, who spoke about disc and drum brakes during the Technology & Maintenance Council's annual meeting earlier this year.
"We have had issues with pads chunking or wearing unevenly that meant we had to work on the disc brakes more often than the drums," he added. "So savings is in question."
Jon Morrison, president for the Americas at Wabco Holdings Inc., said he was surprised to hear about some fleets' caution on spec'ing drive axle ADBs.
"We do see ADB moving into more general applications," he said, noting that with Wabco's Maxxus brake, "we haven't had any re-conversions. Once a fleet goes to discs, they stay with discs."
With the purchase of Meritor's share in the Meritor-Wabco joint venture late last year, Wabco has invested heavily in a field service team to address problems early and find solutions, he said.
"It's something we monitor very closely. We haven't had any customers revert back," Morrison said, noting that moving to ADBs is an important decision.
"Weight is one concern and we've been able to reduce the cost and work with the OEMs to optimize the configuration of the wheel-ends for disc brakes," he said, noting this helps with overall performance and acceptance.
Air disc brakes are part of Ploger Transportation's drive for better fuel economy as well as improved safety. (Ploger Transportation)
Chris Villavarayan, senior vice president at Meritor Inc. and president of the supplier's global truck business, said fleets are starting to see the benefits of ADBs, "especially in safety and performance. We have validated the EX+ [ADBs] in the most severe conditions to deliver superior performance and lower life cycle costs."
Also, Meritor's ADBs are compatible with most collision mitigation systems currently on the market, he said.
This is a consideration for Kenan Advantage's Altrichter.
"Over time, I see a blending of safety systems and ADB," he said. "Everything of ours over the last four or five years has been spec'ed with Bendix Wingman — Advanced and Fusion — all work in conjunction with one another."
Similar to the other players that make ADBs, Haldex sees a major shift in heavy-duty braking on the horizon.
"The safety systems can utilize the performance characteristic of the disc brake much more effectively than they can with the drum brake," said Paul Chappell, Haldex's product manager for ADB. "Not only are you picking up the disc brakes but you're increasing the benefits from collision mitigation."
Disc brakes, Wabco's Morrison added, no longer impact used value at trade time and keep the promise of low cost of ownership.
"When we look at ADB performance — and it depends on the application — the large truckload fleets, for example, are seeing that it is feasible to get through their trade cycle without having to service the brakes as they are seeing good lining life and performance. And we now see it's not affecting trade-in values, so it's not a deterrent for future trades and that's also helping acceptance and getting more fleets on board."
Over time, I see a blending of safety systems and [air disc brakes].
Kirk Altrichter, Kenan Advantage Group
At Ploger Transportation, disc brakes are part of the fleet's drive for fuel economy.
"We're learning more and more," said Joel Morrow, Ploger's vice president of equipment procurement, who also is a driver for the family-owned fleet. "We're big into the 6×2 liftable axle trucks and liftable axle trailers and as we lift axles off the ground, our braking capacity goes down," Morrow said. "The disc brakes are a nice way to balance out our braking needs when we're running axle-up with payload on the trailer."
"[The drivers] are very confident with the disc brakes, knowing the truck's going to stop with axles up and it feels right to them," Morrow said. "So, in a roundabout way, they help us get better fuel economy."
However, Morrow sees braking performance as the prime reason for choosing ADBs. "Safety is our absolute priority. That's why we spec disc brakes."
According to Haldex's Chappell, market penetration for ADBs will reach 50% by 2020 to 2021. That's when the company will introduce a single-piston tractor disc brake engineered for the North American market, he said.
For specialty suspension manufacturer Reyco Granning, safety was an important factor in designing an independent front suspension, or IFS, for fire trucks and recreational vehicles. "One of the first products we incorporated ADB on was a motorhome IFS rated at 16,600 pounds," said John Hinz, chief engineer for powered vehicles.
The company's first IFS units were built for drum brakes, but its customers ultimately requested disc brakes for safety reasons, he said.
"They didn't like the brake fade of drums," Hinz said. "In the motorhome market, you have a lot of inexperienced drivers who don't have CDLs. When you're going down the side of a mountain, it's better to have disc brakes instead of drum brakes, as disc brakes will go and go without brake fade."
Most of Reyco Granning's IFSs come with the Bendix ADB22X but stepping up to Bendix's higher capacity SN7 disc brake has allowed the company to engineer a fire-truck suspension with a 24,000-pound front axle rating, showing the capability of the disc brake in demanding applications.
This capability of the ADB is attractive to Custom Commodities Transport's Stevenson. "We do liquid and dry bulk, and we're very satisfied with air disc brakes," he said, adding their ease of maintenance also works well for the fleet's truck technicians.
ADBs allow the company to be more responsive with drivers who are "not so attentive or there's human error from the general motoring public," Stevenson said.
However, Paper Transport's Deppeler said the maintenance savings with ADBs are not as material as the manufacturers say. "The frequency of rotor replacements ruins the economics."

It's absolutely necessary to have goals in all aspects of life and freelancing is no different.
While you may be able to make it for a time without goals, you'll eventually find yourself wandering without any real mission which can lead to the demise of your freelance business.
That's why I love this article from Millo.
One freelancer shares her 10 business goals and offers many great tips on how you can set yours.
One of my favorite tips is mixing it up with several different types of goals.
"A healthy mix of short-term, long-term and ongoing.
If I only set long-term goals, it's easy for me to get discouraged.
If I only set short-term goals, I'm not really thinking far enough ahead to sustain a business.
Some people stop there, but I wanted ongoing goals too: something that could never really be checked off, but that would be a timeless bar of achievement I've set for my business now and in the future.
If I really want Greer Genius to be successful 5-10 years (and more!) down the road, I'd better start thinking now about how to get there, and how to stay on track when the going gets hectic."

A new era of pet care–Whistle Activity Monitor provides pet parents a central communication hub for your dog, filled with actionable information to better understand your dog's health, behavior, and well-being.
You've probably heard about the obesity crisis that affects humans, but it turns out that even dogs can become obese when they don't get enough movement – and the Whistle Activity Monitor for Dogs will help you keep track.
This is a tracker that will monitor your dog's activity level, her daily behavior, and her health over the long run. You can't be with your pet all day to find out what she's doing, but with this activity monitor, you can download daily information to clue you in about her day.
This comes with a small device that attaches to your dog's collar. Then you can download the accompanying app for your iOS or Android device. It uses Bluetooth technology to wirelessly transmit information to your smartphone.
You can create custom goals for your dog by figuring out how much activity your dog needs – and the app will help you do that when you enter her breed, age, and weight.
You'll be able to get automatic updates about how much activity your dog is getting and then plan an exercise program accordingly. You can also use this system to add photos of your dog on the timeline or to record important information such as the amount of food your dog ate (and when) or schedules of medication you've administered.
Taking this information with you to the vet can help you see if your dog is on the right track or if you need to make changes to improve her health. This device will help you keep track of what's going on with your dog.
Then you can decide if you need to take your dog on an extra walk each day to increase her physical activity or if she's getting enough running outside or playing with other family members and pets.
The battery on the device is rechargeable and will last for about 10 days before you need to recharge it with the included charging dock. You may think that your dog is getting plenty of activity, but when you begin monitoring it, you might find out just how sedentary your dog really is.
You can extend the life of your dog as well as her quality of life by making sure she gets enough exercise each day and that she's at a healthy weight. With the Whistle Activity Monitor for Dogs, you can get real data to help you make health decisions for your pet.
Product Highlights:
- Healthy Habits – Track your dog's activity, daily behavior, and long-term health trends.
- Communication Hub – Use the app as a central hub to communicate with family, friends, dog walkers, and anyone caring for your pet.
- Peace of Mind – Receive automatic updates about your dog's day directly on your phone, whether you are together or apart.
- Custom Goals – Set a daily activity goal for your dog based on age, breed, and weight.
- Daily Timeline – Add photos and notes to capture your favorite moments and log food and medication notes to manage your pet's health.
- Mobile Compatibility – Whistle works with smartphones equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 and running Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or later, and iOS 6.0 or later.
- Simple Set Up – Connect the device to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi via mobile app, create your dog's profile, set your dog's daily goal and adventure on.

Being Me(n)
Maria Davina Sirpis
Peter Mac Project Space
23 August - 10 September 2017
Opening Wednesday 23 August, 6.30-8pm
I am interested in encapsulating the many facets of a person's character - the parts that one struggles with and the parts they are proud of, the parts they chose to show to the world and the parts that are kept hidden. A recurring theme in my art is this universal tension between seeking to be one's authentic and true self - alongside both a desire to be accepted and a fear or awareness of the possibility of being rejected. In a sense, this tension of drives perpetuates vulnerability - to be able to express and show your true colours in such a way that is bold enough and courageous enough to withstand criticism. And I mean not only withstanding criticism in a defensive "fuck you then" stance, but shining your inner unique self so brightly that criticism falls off and burns out before it permeates. I suppose this is what I imagine Liberation to be, personal freedom.
I'm not sure but I hope that I shine like I could,
I'm not sure that I am living in the way that I would
if I truly knew how precious and fleeting life was.
I strive to be this 'alive' every day.
This series of works in Being Me(n) is a celebration of men, beauty, playfulness, vulnerability and difference. The inspiration for these drawings has come from photos men post of themselves on Instagram. I love the boldness of the photos that are posted publicly on social media; images of love, sex, passion and self-expression. The images I selected are of men who seem to have this air of Liberation about them - they appear to be revelling in themselves. I am inspired by people who challenge gender stereotypes and have the freedom and confidence to be who they truly want to be, even in the face of what may at times be a critical and judgemental society.

I am a professional photographer, writer, mother to two beautiful daughters ages 10 & 11, 6 dogs (2 chihuahuas, 1 chow/olde english sheepdog mix, 1 lab mix, 1 grumpy rescued pomeranian, and 1 chocolate mini daschaund that thinks he is a chihuaua), 16 cats (4 are senior citizens & a bunch are kittens we found over the Spring and Summer of '09), 1 senior citizen cockatiel, , & 2 elderly ferrets. I moved from the Chicago area in Spring of '08 down to West Central Indiana so that I would have a better and safer place to raise my children. We live in a very rural community and there are only 50 people here in our little town. Two of our neighbors own chickens and I used to have a rooster named Cocoa that my childrens' father brought home one afternoon as a tiny fluffy chick about 6 or 7 years ago on a whim and I raised him hoping it would be a hen, but no, Cocoa turned out to be a rooster, and even though he was handled constantly, he was NOT a nice rooster. When he was about 4 months old I was forced to rehome him before my neighbors heard him crowing. I miss that little booger, even if he wasn't a nice guy. I still don't know what kind he was, but he gave me some experience and when we moved out here my mom suggested I get my girls into 4-H, so in 2009 I did. I knew I wanted chickens again some day, and now seemed as good a time as any, and so I researched the different breeds, asked some people what their opinions were, and then I placed my order. I decided on bantam cochins and silkies, and I ordered four different types of cochins. I ordered splash, birchen, barred and partridge. I ordered white silkies too. For both egg laying and show I ordered silver laced wyandottes. My original order was for 5 each (straight run as it was my only option) of the cochin varieties and the silkies, and 5 wyandotte pullets. What I got was 6 partridge cochins, 6 splash cochins, 6 barred, 5 silkies, and 6 wyandottes. The day after my chicks first arrived I made a trip to TSC for supplies, and well, they had gotten in their chicks, and I bought their minimum amount of 6. I got their last 3 bantams and 3 amber sex links for egg laying. Two of the bantams died and they were iffy when I bought them so the store manager gave me permission to come back and get two replacement chicks when their new chicks came in, so a week later when they came in I went back. Well, now they had ducklings in and I wanted a couple of those too, so I took my 2 free chicks plus I got 4 more bantams and the two ducks. Of the 6 new bantam chicks I ended up with a silver duckwing OEGB (Died after 1 day) an unidentified black chick (Died after 2 days), a buff silkie (Died after 1 day), a black silkie mix chick, a golden laced OEGB, and a d'Uccle-Mille Fleur. The one surviving bantam chick from my first trip to TSC turned out, to my delight, to be a golden sebright.
It's funny how chickens come and go, whether they it's because you sell them, or because they cross over into God's hands. The number, and kinds of chickens I have is always changing. I will have to create a sales page dedicated strictly to the sale of what I breed. But I know one thing for sure, I love chickens, and I hope to be owned by them for many years to come!

Book Details:
The year 2007 was coming to a close and the country was going into elections, once again without a new constitution. The attempt at changing the constitution had already taken some two decades, decades marred by strife, destruction and bloodshed. Whenever it appeared that the yearning of the people might at last be fulfilled, their leaders would find something to fight over or to disagree about ending in costly stalemates, the crowning of which was the fruitless referendum of November 2005, held to seek ratification of a draft constitution. That draft constitution was rejected at the referendum only served to further divide the country into ethnically polarised and politically irreconcilable camps.
The Authors
This Book is dedicated to the 2004-2008 'health' team – Magdalene Kamau, Cavin Otieno, Titus M'Maeti, Pamela Wamalwa, Moses Muriuki and Christine Rono: a great team indeed; and to my brother Dr. Calisto Odongo who was there when needed.

General Aliyu Mohammed Gusau, former Minister of Defence, has lost his wife, Hajiya Binta.
In a condolence message issued in Abuja on behalf of his family, the Government and people of Nigeria, President Buhari said the death of Hajiya Binta came to him "as a great shock."
The President said: "A wife occupies an important place in a man's life, a bond so strong that we treat our wives like our own flesh and blood. My heart goes out to General Gusau at this emotionally trying moment. Death is inevitable and we are powerless against the will of God. No tears can wipe away our grief, the best tribute to the dead is to pray for them."
The President prayed Allah to comfort General Gusau and members of his family and grant them the fortitude to bear this great loss. "May the soul of Hajiya Binta rest in perfect peace, May Allah reward her good deeds with al- Jannah, Amen," he said.

I have just spent the last week at La Manga Club and stayed in a Los Olivos apartment with 3 friends. The apartment was fine and worked well for the 4 of us, having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was also located within a about a pleasant 3 minute walk to the tennis centre.
We all signed up for the weekly tennis academy and ended up in different groups due to our differing abilities. We had been assessed on the Sunday afternoon and the academies started on the Monday morning.
I must say the tennis tuition during the academy course was first class and this was the general consensus of our party and the other participants of my tennis group. We had tuition for 2 hours each morning from Monday to Friday and did also arrange a couple or private lessons, to enable me to focus on specific areas of my game.
Each afternoon there was a social game and tennis competitions arranged, but did not take part in these. They did seem to be quite well attended.
We enjoyed the resort itself and as we did not have a car we did not go off the resort itself. There are 2 supermarkets and we had a couple of meals at the apartment, including a lovely BBQ on the terrace. We also tried a few of the restaurants which were of a good quality and reasonably priced.
We went to the tie break restaurant which was very pleasant for lunch time snacks. The pool at Los Olivos was very relaxing and we spent most of our afternoons just chilling by the pool.
I would certainly recommend a tennis holiday at La Manga for those who wish to improve their game or if you just want to play tennis in a beautiful setting in the sun. Los Olivos worked well for accommodation, although it seemed that all of the villas and apartments that we did see when walking around the resort all seemed very nice.


text: Hi. Just got the Macbook in my sig. According to the serial number, it's a week 39 build. Fantastic machine. Unfortunately, I noticed the ol' processor whine (which I thought was weird since it's not an MBP) the other night. It seemed to only be an issue when it was plugged into the power adapter. I decided that it wasn't enough to bother me, but tonight it was extra loud and kind of driving me nuts. Well, I put it to sleep, crawled into bed, remembered something else I wanted to look up online, woke the Macbook back up, and the whine is completely gone. I didn't change anything else. No other apps are running. Is this always going to be an intermittent issue? Why would it sometimes be there and sometimes not when the conditions are the same?

Health Services
Pregnancy tests check for a hormone called hCG, which is produced by a developing placenta during pregnancy. In a normal pregnancy, your hCG can be detected with our urine pregnancy tests after being at least one week late on your menstrual cycle. The longer you wait to take the pregnancy test, the more accurate it becomes. It is best to wait until your first missed period before you take a pregnancy test.
Emergency Pregnancy Services, a program of Growing Parenting Choices provides a laboratory quality urine test, FREE OF CHARGE with immediate results. Proof of Pregnancy forms can also be obtained through EPS.
After an EPS client receives a positive proof of pregnancy, the Counselor/Sonographer may suggest a free, in-office ultrasound to better determine the number of weeks into the pregnancy. This life-affirming opportunity will aid the client in making informed and important decisions. The client's pregnancy must meet the guidelines to perform an ultrasound, as determined by the Counselor/Sonographer and the Medical Director.
Options Counseling
Specially trained peer counselors have the knowledge and experience to answer any questions about the results of a pregnancy test. Our compassionate staff spends time dealing with the results of a positive or negative test while educating clients on issues such as decision making, appropriate relationships, risk-taking behaviors, and planning for the future.
The advantages of options counseling are that very emotionally charged decisions are brought down to a more manageable issue, based on the true facts, not an inflated crisis. Our counselors give practical assistance with seeking medical care and community support dealing with the pregnancy. However, EPS is not an abortion clinic and does not offer abortion services or referrals.
Refer a FriendCare about someone who's pregnant?
Material Services
EPS also provides material assistance for infants that include blankets, bibs, clothes, bottles and newborn items. Larger items may be available, which may include cribs, highchairs, strollers and bassinets.
All items are donated to each of our three offices from the community, and available in limited supply.
Adoption Advocacy
- Will I be able to give my baby all of the opportunities he or she deserves?
- Will I be able to continue my education? Am I ready to be a mother?
You may realize you want something more for your child. Adoptions look different in each case. As a birth mother, you have:
- the freedom to choose the adoptive parents
- the freedom to choose if you would like to see your child and their adoptive parents
- the freedom of privacy to receive pictures and no contact.
Considering adoption is a part of looking at all the choices you have. The Emergency Pregnancy Services program is able to provide support for you if you are considering an adoption plan for your child.
Our role is to provide education and counseling to help prepare for this decision, including post placement, and connecting you, the birth mother with an adoption entity of your choice to find potential adoptive families.
Talk to a caring, compassionate voice today.

Google has just released a new application to the Play Store, the 'Home service ads' app. This app joins a rather vast portfolio of applications that Google released to the Play Store over the years, ranging from Gmail, Chrome, Drive, Maps and Photos, to less known apps like Androidify, Google Classroom and Jamboard. Having said that, this new app is orientated towards home professionals, like plumbers, painters, locksmiths and so on. Sounds confusing? Well, let's talk more about it, shall we.
The goal of this app is to help handymen and companies get some exposure and organize their works. If you're listed in this app, other can locate you through Google Search, while this application will help you communicate with your clients and also schedule various repairs. Now, your clients can also rate you through this app, they're able to leave a review for others to see. It's worth noting that this app is not yet globally available, Google has kicked off a pilot program which is available only in some cities in the US. It's worth noting that this app ties in perfectly with the service's desktop client, which basically serves the same purpose, but Google decided to make a mobile app for it, which many would agree, probably is not a bad idea. Finding a good handyman can be a really painful task sometimes, and a service like this would be helpful, that's for sure, while an app only makes things easier.
Having in mind that the availability of this app is quite limited at the moment, it won't be of use to many people, but Google will probably release it on a global scale in the near future, presuming everything goes well with the pilot program. Finding a decent handyman is more of a chore in some regions than in others, but if enough people adopt this application, that process could become a lot easier. This application comes with Google's recognizable design, and it's free to use, presuming it's available in your region. If you'd like to check out the design closely, take a look at the images that are included in the gallery down below.

There is a new craft beer shop opening on Fayetteville Street around Thanksgiving this year! It is going to be Paddy O'Beers but do not assume from the title and logo that this is going to be your typical Irish Pub because there is so much more to it! I asked about your favorite Brewery because Paddy O'Beers plans to always include beers from local breweries in their rotation on the taps, as well as have bottle beers from all across the Nation and World on hand. The only thing that won't be on the menu is the mixed drinks and liquor, but there will be some wines available. A large outdoor patio can seat up to thirty people and would be a great meeting place after work for some snacks and some drinks. Make sure you stop by and check it out once it opens.

Finally, an Ebola Campaign That's About the Survivors
A new app lets patients who recovered tell their story.
Ebola survivor Camara Fantoulen. Image: #ISurvivedEbola/Flickr
When we write about Ebola, there's a tendency to focus on the most fearsome aspects of the story; with a death count in the thousands, it's hard not to. But one campaign supported by UNICEF and funded by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation finds a more optimistic focus: stories of survival.
#ISurvivedEbola is a campaign led by PCI Media Impact, an organisation that describes itself as working in "entertainment-education and communications for social change." Today, it launched an app for Ebola survivors in West Africa that allows them to share their story of overcoming the disease.
Senior campaign manager JD Stier, based in New York, told me in a phone interview that survivors were the "greatest unreported resources in West Africa."
"People that had taken the right steps, sought treatment, and all had a certificate of being cleared for Ebola: These are individuals that should be celebrated as heroes, that should share accurate, critical public health information with their fellow West Africans," he said.
The first post is from Camara Fantaoulen, known as Fanta, an Ebola survivor in Guinea who now works at a treatment unit. Posted on the campaign site today, her message reads "Yes, I survived Ebola, thanks to the help of the brave healthcare workers who treated me. And I've learned that together, we can defeat this virus and protect our families and communities."
PCI Media Impact gave her an Android smartphone, along with other survivors, loaded with a custom app (it's carefully monitored so not just anyone can access it). The survivors can upload posts, the idea being that they can share public health information. Stier gave an example of the kind of messages that might be useful, like "I'm so glad I sought treatment early," or "I survived because I went to the Ebola treatment unit."
It's also intended as a platform where survivors can communicate their ongoing experiences, and one of the main targets of the campaign is stigma: Some Ebola survivors have been met with discrimination by communities that are scared of the virus. Stier partly blames a media over interested in death rates and horror for enhancing that stigma.
"There are going to be days when doors are shut; there are going to be days when survivors are not welcomed back to work," said Stier. "We want to be able to create a platform whereby survivors can share that nuanced experience of survival with each other and an international audience."
Others can see the messages on the campaign website, and spread across other media in the project.
The social media app is just the latest, and flashiest, component of the campaign. In fact, much less high-tech devices might reach more people in the most affected areas. "We're taking all of the public health information from all our mediums and turning it into print materials, and distributing it to households that don't have radio and don't have TV," explained Stier.
The organisation also posts survivor stories in video and audio clips online and in TV and radio spots. In one audio piece, survivor Decontee Davis from Liberia recounts difficulties she faced after recovering from Ebola. "My family faced a lot of stigma," she says. "Even my own son could no longer play in the community with other friends."
Stier said one of the organisation's mainstays is also radio dramas, where characters face scenarios relevant to their audience.
Other projects are also using mobile phones and radio to spread awareness about Ebola. In October, IBM launched an initiative that used simple text messaging and voice calling to allow citizens of Sierra Leone to communicate concerns. UNICEF has also been involved in other campaigns to distribute information via mobile phones, radio, and TV, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide a bunch of public service soundbites in local languages. There's even been a dance track about Ebola.
But #ISurvivedEbola stands out by focusing so much on survivors. Stier said PCI Media would continue to produce survivor stories, ultimately in 12 languages. "Survivors here represent courage, resolve, determination," said Stier, and commended all those who participated in the campaign for "sharing hope among their fellow countrymen and countrywomen."

Meridian eatery Miss Tami's to close this month
Miss Tami's, a Meridian business for more than 26 years, will close its doors at the end of the day July 25.
Owner Tami Shoemaker says she will reinvent the restaurant, tea room and gift shop in a scaled-down capacity. "We plan to continue catering, special orders, open house/bazaars, (and) select product for purchase through our upcoming new web site and pick up/to-go orders," she posted on the Miss Tami's Facebook page.
The store started putting items on sale in late spring in an effort to reduce inventory.
Along with her husband, Shoemaker bought the home at 1031 N. Main St. in 1989. They moved their family into half and opened Miss Tami's in the other. After the gift shop expanded to include a restaurant, they moved out. After closing this month, the Shoemakers will move back into the Miss Tami's space, Shoemaker says — hence, the need to downsize.
Miss Tami's customers — some basically are like family — still will be part of her future. "This is not goodbye, just a new chapter in my tea book of life," Shoemaker wrote on Facebook.
The majority of the menu always has been Miss Tami's original recipes, and you'll still be able to order her most popular sandwich to go: "Yes, you can still get your Monte Cristo fix!" she promised.

Background and Strategy
PHR and PHRplus have supported national governments in conducting, analyzing, and considering the implications of National Health Accounts (NHA). With the support of PHR and other donors, more than 51 low-and middle-income countries have conducted NHA. NHA is a tool that provides a comprehensive mapping of sources of funding for health sector activities and how these funds are used. Unlike budgetary reviews, the methodology encompasses both public and private sector funding. NHA can strengthen national policy and decision-making: for example, in Kenya, NHA evidence on the high level of household payments for health care recently stimulated the government to consider possible insurance mechanisms and means through which government can subsidize costs for the poor. PHRplus has worked very closely with other donors on the development and institutionalization of NHA, including close links with WHO, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, the World Bank, and the European Union, and will continue to foster these international collaborations.
Expanding on the substantial achievements made by PHR and its partners, PHRplus continues to focus on (i) further capacity-building and institutionalization of NHA in developing countries, and (ii) a variety of innovative NHA-based analyses.

Material Handling
A large industrial supplier in the Midwestern U.S. uses small and large plastic totes to transport material throughout their factory. As these totes move along the line, there are designated locations where they are empty and need to be stacked, but often times these totes entered the stacking area with material left inside, which caused the stacker machine to jam. To prevent this from continuing, the industrial supplier turned to a systems integrator and Comtrol's IO-Link Master.
Due to its simple installation, the system integrator opted to use Comtrol's IO Link Master DR-8-EIP to control Leuze Electronic IO-Link enabled light curtains and laser distance measuring sensors. With this implementation, the light curtains determine how the totes are stacked while the laser distance measuring devices scan for contents inside the totes.
The IO-Link Master DR-8-EIP offers eight IO-Link ports, two dedicated Digital Input/Digital Output ports, and ten Digital Input ports. With this configuration, the IO-Link Master allows the flexibility to support up to 20 device connections.

Hi there guys,
I've been learning how to use Breakpoints to set up the mobile version of our site. We're basically using Wordpress and Upfront to set up a mobile app. So far so good, but... Unfortunately, what I see in Responsive Mode for mobile, isn't what I am seeing on my mobile. And, I can't seem to fix it!
Here's the site:
Here's how it looks on my iPhone:
One of the icons, for some crazy reason, isn't fitting in!
You can imagine that what we are trying to do is have all our icons arranged in a nice grid. Ideally, that would mean putting 3 icons, nicely spaced across the screen. Unfortunately, in the Upfront grid there are 7 longitudinal spaces and one can't fit 2 or 3 or 4 icons in that space! Two was the best I could do, and that doesn't even look quite right. Is there a way to by-pass the snap to grid restrictions in Responsive Mode so that one can space 3 icons nicely?
Thank you!

Madrid's eight-day deadline for Catalonia to drop its independence bid could prove to be fruitless, according to political analysts, who believe that pro-separatist Catalan President Carles Puigdemont will not back down.
Speaking in the Spanish capital on Wednesday, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy warned that if the Catalan government refused, he would suspend the region's autonomy and rule it directly.
Antonio Barroso, deputy director of research at risk consultancy Teneo Intelligence, said that "it is unlikely that Puigdemont will alter his position."
"(Puigdemont's) first reaction has been to insist on establishing a 'bilateral dialogue' with Spain with 'no prior conditions'; backpedalling on independence would only lead to an even bigger disappointment within the secessionist camp," he said in a note Wednesday.
"Given that Rajoy cannot accept a bilateral discussion without Puigdemont backtracking first on independence, the most likely scenario is that the prime minister activates the next steps of Article 155 (the so-called 'nuclear option'), which will probably happen within the next 48 hours.

The Importance of Writing a Will (and the Consequences of Not Doing So)
Most people already understand what a will is: a written document that provides instructions on how a person's wealth or property should be distributed after that person's death.
However, only few people write their own wills before they die, and this usually causes serious problems to their families.
According to more-than-countable statistical findings, this practice of not writing wills or not updating them is common worldwide. Virtually all surveys conducted all over the world have revealed the same fact: far more than 50% of those who should have written their wills haven't written them—or don't ever get to write them.
If you're among the majority who already have some wealth but haven't written a will, then this post is for you. Read on to understand the reasons why you need to write your will now, as well as the consequences of not doing that.
7 reasons why writing your will is highly importantAlthough we all wish to live for as long as possible, we have to accept that death is part of life, and that it can come at any time.
So, considering that death usually comes when it's least expected, you need to prepare for it by crafting a detailed will to express your preferences for what happens to your body, your family, your wealth, and other important things after you're gone.
If you've not given writing your will a thought, you need to start taking it seriously, and here are seven strong reasons why.
1. You can decide how your wealth will be distributedWriting a will means putting words in black-and-white regarding how you want your wealth to be distributed, so you can rest assured that your wish will be rightly implemented when the time's right.
By stating exactly what should be given to whom, you'll not only prevent possible disputes among family members, but you'll also protect their future by providing them with long-term financial security.
2. You can appoint a manager or administrator for your property or businessOver the years, you've studied your family members. You know the strengths and weaknesses of each of them. And you know the roles that each of them can play excellently.
Based on that familiarity and knowledge, you can decide who you want to manage your property or carry on with your business after you're gone. By clearly stating this in your will, you'll be placing your wealth or business in the hands of those who can really manage and preserve them for generations to come.
3. You can appoint a guardian for your childrenIf you already have children, then you need to secure their future by stating (in your will) who should take care of your children after you pass away.
No one knows your children more than you do, so you're in the best position to decide who should be their guardian. This is because over the years, you've figured which family members your children enjoy or prefer being with, and which family members really care about them.
4. You can give back to the societyIf you've nursed an age-long ambition to contribute immensely to your favourite charity organisation, stating that in your will is a good way to actualise your wish after you pass on. And by giving out a fraction of your property to charity, you will be giving back and ensuring that your wealth is contributed to the sustenance of a good cause.
5. You can give a full account of what you haveSince a will usually contains the full details of the writer's wealth, writing your will is the best way to tell or remind your loved ones about everything you have—cash saved up in the bank, businesses, property, other investments, intellectual assets, and everything else.
By detailing everything that makes up your wealth, you'll prevent your assets from being lost or claimed by those who have no rights to them.
6. You can give details of your bills, debts, tax, and other financial obligationsWriting your will is a good way to make your loved ones aware of your pending financial obligations such as recurrent bills, debts and taxes. With all these obligations clearly stated, they will be duly fulfilled after you're gone, and your loved ones willnot be caught unawares.
7. Things will quickly get back to normal after you're goneBy stating who should get what, who should carry on with the management of your business, who should take care of your children, and who should manage your property, you'll be making things much easier for your loved ones after you've passed on.
With your will in place, everything will return back to normal within a short period, since your loved ones will know how your wealth should be distributed and managed, and who should be in charge of your business and other ventures.
With all the above points in mind, you should by now be convinced that writing a will is one of the most important things you can ever do.
Now, let's go even further by looking at some of the things that will most likely happen if you pass on without having written your will.
The consequences of not writing your will
- Since you will not have an executor, the government might have to act as the administrator of your wealth. This will result in unnecessary delay, additional expenses, or loss of some of your assets.
- Your children—if they are minors—will be in care of the government (the "Public Guardian"), and they may end up not living the kind of life you have always wished for them.
- Your children may not receive the amount you would have loved to give each of them. And you will not be able to hold funds in trust for them.So, they may end up in a state of financial insecurity.
- Your property might end up in the wrong hands, and your businesses might eventually fold up due to poor management.
- Some of your assets might get lost forever if your loved ones never knew you had them.
- You will be unable to specify who should share from your wealth and who shouldn't. And the economic fate of your family and loved ones will be decided by the government.
- Your family will be caught unawares by some recurrent bills, taxes, and other financial obligations that used to be binding on you.
Having learned the importance of writing your will and the consequences of not doing that, will you leave the fate of your children and other loved ones to be decided by the state? And will you allow your wealth to be shared in a way that clearly goes against your wish or plan?
The only way to prevent that is to stop procrastinating and start writing your will—right now!s
