December 2010
A monthly newsletter to transform ordinary leaders to extraordinary: in your company, profession, and industry. Based on coaching, writing, speaking and strategizing by Leslie G.Ungar to create leaders, improve communications, and build successful teams. www.electricimpulse.com
This newsletter includes: A Special Holiday Wish
In place of the normal format for my monthly newsletter I want to share with you one story. Just one true story. This story represents the value of effective coaching, holiday cheer, the meaning of the holidays, whatever holiday you observe, the celebration of the New Year and the new beginning that a New Year marks for all of us.
From Homeless to Therapist
A little over two years ago I met a Pit Bull named Harmony. My experience with Pit Bulls has always been very positive so I look forward to meeting a Pit Bull. Harmony was at the Greater Akron Humane Society, Paws-ibiities, waiting for her forever home.
I was hosting a TV show on the Humane Society and Harmony laid across my feet the entire show. She was a furry angel in a Pit Bull body. During the show I made a couple of pleas to the viewing audience on Harmony's behalf. I asked the Executive Director to let me know if Harmony did get her forever home.
A few months later I got a call. The paperwork had been completed for Harmony to get a real home. I was thrilled. I thought that was the end of the story.
Fast forward 24 months. Last week I walked into a meeting and saw a honey brown Pit Bull. As always, I asked the dog's name. It was Harmony. I said, "Harmony was a guest on my show two years ago." Harmony's owner looked at me with caution. He said, "I have owned her for two years." I said, "I know exactly when you adopted her!"
Harmony is now not only adopted and a member of her family in her forever home, she is a
Lesson Learned:
People and dogs need opportunity, additional chances, someone to believe in them and effective instruction. Then they can soar.
Wishing You a Magical Holiday and New Year!

This morning I asked Future President what he was thankful for. His response: stickers and cars. Hey, honesty is the best policy!
Today I am thankful for my husband, who is currently working outside on yard work, and for my parents, who are watching Future President this afternoon, all while I continue to rest. My goal had been to go back to work tomorrow but there's no way I'm going to be able to sit in the car for my commute plus be at a desk all day, sitting or standing. And there's the small issue of not being able to wear normal clothes yet. The black yoga pants I've been wearing for most of my recovery don't count as work wear, even in Portland.
I'm also thankful for a beautiful sunny day. It's so sunny and cold that it reminds me of Utah. I am also thankful for the 3 1/2 years we got to live there and for all the wonderful people we met and the Thanksgivings we celebrated there.
What are you most thankful for this holiday season?

Piterson: Where are you come from? Do you still live in your home town?
Lukasvista: I come from Kalisz and I still live there.
P: Do you want to leave your home town? If yes, where do you want to move?
L: Hmm I think I'll stay there, this town is not bad. I know this is not a huge city like Warsaw or Wroclaw but I feel here great and this is the most important in my opinion.
P: I agree, what are you doing everyday?
L: I'm working. Then I review my electronic mail, check news, contact with FIFAM.team.
P: As we know Bartek have a dog, so do you have/had any pets?
L: I saw his dog on picture, that was a great present for his wife. I hasn't had any pets for many years. Once I had a dog but I had to put him to sleep because of his health problems.
P: That's very sad. Sorry but I'll refer to interview with Bartek again. He smoke, and you?
L: I don't smoke ant I think I won't, I prefer cold bear and I advised the same to Bartek, I think I have too small gift of gab.
P: He is very stubborn. So maybe you have any other addictions?
L: Except computer and internet nothing more.
P: Do you have any hobby (of course except computer)? How do you spend your free time?
L: I like to read books, work over 3D graphic. Moreover I spend my free time with my girlfriend and friends.
P: That's interesting. What kind of books do you prefer the most? What's your last read book?
L: I especially like thrillers, adventures etc. Actually I'm reading "Debt of honour" written by Tom Clancy
P: And what about fantasy book? Did you read any?
L: Hm I read lots of book but not any fantasy book.
P: Why? You are not interested in that kind of books?
L: I prefer political - military books. I'm sure you played Tom Clancy games so you know what I'm mention about
P: So what's your favourite title and author?
L: There are lots of titles I like so I won't give you only one. Most favourite author? Of course Tom Clancy, but Forsyth, Ludlum and few others too.
P: You mentioned about your escapades with your friends. Where do you go? Lands of your town, somewhere in Poland or maybe abroad?
L: Escapades near our home town. We have artificial bay at the end of town, where we spend our free time bathing, grilling etc.
P: If you had a choice, where would you live on the world and why?
L: I think in USA, everything is different there, attitude to life too. But this is a theme for other conversation.
P: We know you like to read. But what about watching films? Do you like it? If yes what kind of films?
L: I'm watching when I have a time for it. My favourite subject matter is similar to my favourite books plus horrors and serial 24 hours.
P: Conducting an interview with Bartek I found out that he don't have driving license, which was a big shock for me. So what about you in this matter?
L: I'll surprise you but I don't have driving license too.
P: Are you going to have it in future or this state suits you?
L: Now it suits me but in future I'll have driving license.
P: Lets end your personal life thread and go to themes connected with the website.
L: Ok
P: Some time ago, when there was no Bartek idea yet, we talk both about small revolution on Jochen forum. And then Bartek comes with his website which was some kind of salvation for us. How do you see it? How do you reminisce first plans of changes?
L: I remember our common conversations but that was only a small part of plan who started to become fulfilled. Then Bartek contacted to me to discuss about lawns patch and then everything happened as you can see now. Over one month of common works and we have FIFAM.info.
P: How do you assess functioning of website and forum technically and essentially?
L: Everything is well so far, of course we have small imperfections but at the start it is normal. It's only matter of time we will eliminate them all and achieve the highest level.
P: How many time do you devote to website daily?
L: I can't tell you precisely, but a lot of. Lot of time I spend over gaining information and contacting with EA. But the website is very important for me.
P: You raised very important issue. You succeeded in something which was expected from Jochen. Say something more about partnership with EA Poland. How does your cooperation with EA Poland looks from technical point of view and how do you assess your contacts with EA representatives?
L: Of course it is not so easy how someone could say. It is not enough to write to them to became a partner. It requires lots of conversations. Currently our contacts are very good. We determine together various thing which has influence on Polish FIFA Manager society
P: You said it wasn't easy so how do you succeeded in it? Can you describe course of your conversations?
L: Our conversations lasted one week. That amount of time took me to reach Wojtek and later Tomek, who I am cooperating currently. Of course I showed them preliminary project of our website. That was enough to establish partnership and you'll see how it will look in the future
P: What were first reactions from our new partners?
L: They very like our website (although it looked differently than now). Moreover our articles, ideas for competitions and promotions made big impression.
P: Lukas what do you expect from this partnership? What it can give to users, patchmakers and EA? What's your aims referring to this cooperation?
L: Of course cooperation with game publisher brings lots of benefits e.g. access to materials which are normally unavailable, editing tools, putting our links in game manuals etc. For our users: interesting competitions, which we will organize together. For patchmakers: possibility to cooperate during making patches and getting tools which requires to sign a deal (I have one deal signed for translation). I hope this partnership will be effective. This cooperation is building up in way as we expected.
P: Lukas, you have just opened new website and forum. Don't you afraid you'll end in the same way as Jochen?
L: No, I do not. First of all our website is updated all the time. Secondly we keep our forum in tidiness and culture. Moreover our team is well-adjusted to working together
P: You raised here two important things. What in your opinion was the main reason of Jochen forum failure? I think our scene of Fifa Manager is still weak. Do you think it contributed to this failure?
L: Many things contributed to this. No update, poor culture on forum (especially in Shout Box) and unfortunately Administrator who wasn't able to do all thing by himself but he didn't want us to help him. If you think Polish FIFA Manager society is still weak, wait some time, you know we will change that.
P: I hope so. You were supposed to be alternative/competition for Jochen forum. But during your works over new website Jochen joined you. How do you see this cooperation?
L: We didn't expected so early fall of FifaManager.eu as you know. But we knew that was a matter of time. I'm happy of cooperation with Jochen, it can only bring us positive results.
P: How big contribution in your opinion has Jochen and his forum to history of polish FIFA Manager scene?
L: His contribution is surely huge. I was "brought up" at Jochen forum, met lots of people, who I cooperate with and create this website now.
P: What would be if fifam.info website wasn't created?
L: I would be still moderator on "old" forum. What else? It's hard to say, maybe old website will be still working or maybe not, I don't know.
P: Lukas there are 3 Administrators on your website and this is a big difference referring to Jochen forum. What are the main advantages and disadvantages of this kind of system?
L: The advantage is that we are all making decision about website and forum development. We also consult users punishments to be more objective. The main disadvantage is that sometimes we have differences of opinion so it could lead to disputes but we are well – adjusted to working together team and we handle this.
P: Lukas give advantages and disadvantages of rest Administrators.
L: Bartek super lad, very ambitious, always reaching his aims. He devotes lot of time to website and forum, it's always possible to talk him on private matters. The main disadvantage is that he smoke, really to much.
Piotrek super lad too, has a large knowledge about football world, he always express his own opinion on various matters. Ready to help in various situations, talkative. Disadvantage: he's stubborn but disadvantages often changes to advantages so do not take offence.
P: I don't have any reason. I'm very stubborn. Let's go on. What features presented by users you appreciate and what you do not tolerate?
L: I don't like when someone writes off tops, only to make his post account higher. I don't like also stylistic and grammatical errors. I appreciate own opinion and individual user features which we get to know after some time.
P: How is your cooperation with Bartek and Piterson?
L: Our cooperation is great. We always reach compromise. We implement together our individual ideas, we are well - adjusted to work together, we are really strong team.
P: Lukas we know you as patchmaker. You especially worked over implementing Polish language to the game and now you work over fixing languages bugs. What's your plans for nest releases? Are you creating now any patch?
L: Currently I work over Media Polish Patch, all the time German translation is being added which I am going to use in 09 version. Additionally current version will be updated.
P: When has your adventure with FifaM begun?
L: I play this game from 2004 version. But my adventure with creating patches and activity on forum has begun since December of 2006. >
P: Did you played other manager games earlier?
L: No, TCM was my first and the only one manager game. And I think it'll stay like that.
P: What kind of games (without FIfaM) you are interested in?
L: I very like strategies and fps's.
P: Any favourite titles?
L: C&C all parts, Rainbow 6 all parts without Las Vegas, GTA and few smaller titles.
P: What league you mostly play in FifaM and why?
L: I play Italian league because it has specific style of play which I prefer.
P: You mainly choose Milan or maybe other clubs?
L: I like Milan so mostly I choose them.
P: Milan is your favourite club?
L: Yes it is, for a long time.
P: And what Polish club you prefer?
L: I'm not interested in Polish league. For me it's to low level, you can add here corruption scandal and Football Association members which all gives miserable picture of Polish football.
P: Which league in your opinion is the most strong and why?
L: Unfortunately not Italian but English. There are lots of talented players, big money and strong clubs.
P: According to real football give your "dream team" squad and argue your choice.
L: I think it would be very similar to squad given by Bartek so I don't want to duplicate it. Notice that 5 players are from Milan.
P: Football match you especially remember?
L: Milan victory over Barcelona in Champions League. That was a really great match.
P: Do you think that website and forum will evolve to subjects not directly connected with FIFA Manager game? What do you think about this kind of website and forum direction?
L: FIFA Manager is manager simulator game so each subjects connected with clubs and leagues are relates to game. As you can see on our forum game and football subjects complements each other.
P: Thank you very much for interview.
L: Thank you.

May 13, 1970
Ellon BUTLER, guardian of the Estate of Michael J. Ware, a minor, and James Ware and Gloria Goddard
Katherine P. COLFELT
Troutman, District Judge.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: TROUTMAN
TROUTMAN, District Judge.
This action arose from an accident involving Pennsylvania residents which occurred in Pennsylvania on December 2, 1966, when a vehicle operated by the defendant struck a bicycle being operated by the minor plaintiff, Michael J. Ware. Appearing as parties-plaintiff are James Ware and Gloria Goddard, the natural parents of the minor plaintiff and Ellon Butler, guardian of the estate of the minor plaintiff. At the time of the accident the parents, their minor son and the defendant were all Pennsylvania residents. Ellon Butler, duly appointed guardian of the minor plaintiff, was, at the time of the accident, at the time of her appointment as guardian, and at the time of filing suit, a resident of the State of New Jersey. Therefore, jurisdiction is based upon diversity of citizenship.
Relying, inter alia, upon McSparran v. Weist, 402 F.2d 867 (3rd Cir. 1968), cert. denied, 395 U.S. 903, 89 S. Ct. 1739, 23 L. Ed. 2d 217 (1969), the defendant has filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction alleging "manufactured" diversity. A saving action has been instituted and is pending in the Court of Common Pleas in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The question presented by defendant's motion is whether the plaintiff has made a sufficient showing of facts to sustain federal jurisdiction.
In McSparran v. Weist, supra, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals clearly and unequivocally held that the appointment of an out-of-state guardian solely to create diversity jurisdiction violates 28 U.S.C. § 1359
which denies federal diversity jurisdiction where a party has been improperly or collusively made or joined to invoke jurisdiction. The manufactured character of the asserted diversity was conceded in McSparran. However, the Court wisely observed that cases would follow in which there would be no such concession. In such circumstances, it is the duty of the District Court to make the factual determination on the record. Groh v. Brooks, 421 F.2d 589, at 594, 595 (3rd Cir. 1970).
Since the plaintiff has invoked the jurisdiction of the Court the burden rests upon her to prove all the facts to sustain it. McSparran v. Weist, supra, 402 F.2d at 875; Richard v. Dervarics, 302 F. Supp. 709 (M.D. Pa. 1969). When an inquiry involves the jurisdiction of a Federal Court, the McSparran Court noted that it is presumed that the Court is without jurisdiction "unless the contrary appears from the record". This is particularly true "in diversity jurisdiction which trenches upon the jurisdiction of the state courts." McSparran, supra, 402 F.2d at 876. Noting these considerations, the Third Circuit recently, in Groh v. Brooks, supra, suggested several factors to be used as guidelines in making determinations concerning artificially created diversity jurisdiction.
"In determining whether or not diversity has been artifically created, the district court may consider, inter alia, such factors as the identity of the representative and his relationship to the party represented; the scope of the representative's powers and duties; any special capacity or experience which the representative may possess with respect to the purpose of his appointment; whether there exists a non-diverse party, such as a parent in a suit for injuries to a child, who might more normally be expected to represent the interests involved; whether those seeking the appointment of the representative express any particular reasons for selecting an out-of-state person; and whether, apart from the appointment of an out-of-state representative, the suit is one wholly local in nature." (Emphasis added.)
The plaintiff has had a full opportunity to present the facts by way of depositions, briefs or memoranda and oral argument. Accordingly, we shall proceed to a consideration of the record in the light of the "presumption against federal jurisdiction" to determine whether plaintiff has met the "burden" resting upon her and whether there is a "clear showing * * * that jurisdiction exists" based upon the considerations and tests suggested recently by the Third Circuit.
In applying to the Orphans Court of Chester County for the appointment of a guardian for the minor plaintiff, the parents, also plaintiffs herein, alleged, inter alia, that:
"The minor is entitled to no fund except as a result of litigation connected with this accident, for which purpose, it is requested that a guardian be appointed." (Emphasis added)
No other "purpose" was suggested in the petition itself. Thus, it is evident that "litigation" was the primary if not the sole purpose of this appointment. In further suggesting the appointment of Ellon Butler it was alleged that:
(a) She was a resident of the State of New Jersey;
(b) She was 28 years ...

Those living in high-rises and default on their maintenance fees can be brought to a strata tribunal by the Joint Management Bodies (JMB) where they can be made to pay hefty fines, according to lawyers who deal with the industry.
The Strata Management Tribunal (SM Tribunal) was set up under the Strata Management Act 2013 where property owners or tenants who fail to pay maintenance charges can be charged for committing a criminal offence.
Real estate lawyer Khairul Anuar said at a time where the payment of service charges have become a problem for high rise residences, JMBs should enforce the use of the tribunal to compel their tenants pay up.
"There is the strata management tribunal that can help any management to collect the fees owed by the tenants.
"This can be done without any legal procedure and through the tribunal. This is a short cut for them to collect the dues. There is no more reason for them (JMB) to say residents are refusing to pay," he told Malay Mail Online when contacted.
The SM Tribunal can hear cases involving claims up to RM250,000 in a hearing process that takes up to 60 days. There are also no lawyers involved in the process.
Section 123 of the Strata Management Act also empowers the tribunal to forward the case to a court if the person charged fails to comply with the Tribunal's decision.
"Any person who fails to comply with an award made by the tribunal commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding RM250,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years, or both.
"In the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine not exceeding RM5,000 for every day or part thereof, during which the offence continues after conviction," the section reads.
Other than the tribunal, another real estate lawyer, Chris Tan, explained that there also other ways where the JMB can make their tenants to cough up maintenance fees.
Among the methods he suggested include referring the case to the Commissioner of Buildings or even putting restrictions on facilities at high-rises.
"The management can enforce restrictions on those who fail to pay like not letting them use the condominium facilities or even making them sign visitors book when entering the premises.
"They also can go through the Commissioner and at times can result in actions like taking away their cars, electrical appliances and stuff like that as compensation," Tan told Malay Mail Online.
If at all the situation here worsens, Tan believes that Malaysia should follow Singapore in seizing and auctioning off defaulters' units to recover arrears.
He conceded, however, that it will be hard to apply the same rules here as mostly properties here are privately owned compared to the Housing and Development Board (HDB) public housing in Singapore.
Earlier this year, it was reported that over 1,192 cases have been filed at the Strata Management Tribunal since the start of 2016.
The problems with high-rise living and their maintenance have been a growing pain in Malaysia over the past few years as strata properties increase.
A survey by the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Ministry last week revealed that more than half of condominiums and apartments nationwide ranked below par in an evaluation of property management standards.
Among the major problems that resulted in such standards were the fact that some residents in condominiums are refusing to pay maintenance fees. Other problems included building defects and matters involving enforcement.

do you remember my little word for the year? BALANCE. i think its the ever-illusive, non-tangible that so many of us, especially mothers, seek out constantly. my days almost always seem out of whack. don't get me wrong – i love this crazy, messy, chaotic life that we live. it is full of blessings. but i can't help but think: can i be doing this better? can i be honoring God more? is this what i'm made for, or is there more? or… is there less?
as i've thought more and more about the search for balance, and how to make it really work, i look back on what i've tried already. and really, i've tried. same as many of you, i have a very full plate, and i am constantly trying to keep everything on the plate! besides normal everyday stuff, like being a mom, wife and keeper of the home, i also home school my kids 3 days a week, do a bit of design-type work at our school, work a bit at fred & betty's (our school's thrift store), and have run a small handmade business from my home for the last 6 years. especially over the past year, i have added more things onto my plate. the plate keeps getting more full, all with wonderful things – i mean really, how lucky am i that i get paid to do fun, design-centric jobs?! but nevertheless, it gets more full. i have worked to constantly have a running list of all the to-do's i have for the various responsibilities, trying to get each thing done. both of us being entrepreneurs, my husband and i often look at each other at the end of the day and sigh, because we didn't get everything done, that there never really is a "done" as a small business owner because there is always more to be done.
towards the end of last year, there was an instance that made me really question what i was doing, and why was i doing all that i was. within an hour of talking things through with sean, we layed out our options and decided to think and pray on them until the new year, then come up with a decision. on january 1st, we decided to close down the shop side of my business, with my primary focus on blogging going forward. wow, just typing that out is a little scary! i've told just a dozen or so people, beyond family members, and most of their reactions are shocked and a little sad. but you know what? i am super excited! i know this sounds crazy to be excited to close up shop, but for the weeks that we prayed about this, there was not one moment where i questioned that closing was the right thing to do. it has been clear the whole time to me and i am so thankful for that! i am looking forward to doing all that i do, but better. i want to be more focused on my kids when we're doing school. i want to have time to make dinner for my family and not have to hurry and prep work for an employee first. i want to have margin, so i can hang out with my family and just enjoy them, rather than stress about what needs to be done for the business instead.
i want to make it really clear: the shop has been a huge blessing to me and my family. what began as a creative outlet, became a financial necessity. and i have always been so thankful that i love what i do. if i had to have a full time job, this was the job i wanted to be doing! and the best part was that i was still able to do it from home, be with my kids, and still school them part time. i am so excited to have run a successful handmade business, made amazing friends because of it, been blessed by thousands of wonderful customers, been able to employ local women so they could in turn provide for their families. but most of all, i was able to provide for our own family when we needed it most. and i really believe that is why God blessed my business for so many years. when sean and i sat down to make this decision, the one thing he said that really stuck with me was "the need has been lifted". and in an instant, the weight came off my shoulders and i thought, "well then why on earth would i continue adding stress to my life?!" and my second thought was "i could have coffee with friends!" as silly as that sounds, when i only have 2 days a week to work without the kids around, those hours are almost entirely dedicated to working.
so what now? i'll be giving you more details on what's to come for me (i will definitely continue blogging!), but for now, i am closing up the shop. my goal is to completely sell out my entire inventory. we have made everything there is left to be made (other than a few bags in process) and i will not be restocking any items. if something says *SOLD* then it is gone for good. if there's anything you've had your eye on, or want to get a jump start on gifts for others, then now is the time! i would consider it a HUGE blessing to finish this business well and sell off every last thing!
also, hopefully within the next week or so, i will start selling off a ton of my supplies: everything from covered buttons to fabric to zippers to purse handles. i'll be sure to let you know when to expect those to go into the shop.
so to get things started, i am offering free shipping on every order placed in the shop! use code FREESHIP at checkout.
and, if you have ever won a giveaway for shop credit, or have a gift certificate lying around, be sure to use it now!
i'm sure some of you have questions for me! feel free to ask away in the comment section and i'll do my best to get them answered right away.
i want to stress above all things, that this is a happy ending for me. i am honored to have had the opportunity to bring colorful accessories into so many lives across the country and around the world. i have been blessed to have been a part of gifts given. i am thankful for each of my customers not only supporting my shop, but in turn supporting my family. i know i will miss a lot of things about running this handmade shop, and i'm prepared to be hit with sad feelings and a time for mourning. but i am excited about this next stage of life, a little more freedom, and room for a lot more creativity! i am also looking forward to getting back to blogging as a creative outlet – i have great big plans for this blog and can't wait to get started on them!
so how can you help? by shopping of course! but really, spreading the word would be so appreciated! i'd love to cover social media with this news – facebook, instagram, twitter… i've got a few images below for you to use if you'd like to share the free shipping code with your friends and followers! i am so grateful for this community!

Sources of Additional Information
- Most large insurance companies prefer college graduates who have a degree in business administration or finance, with courses or experience in accounting.
- Employment is projected to grow more slowly than average as insurance companies use "smart" underwriting software systems that automatically analyze and rate insurance applications, and as more businesses self-insure.
Insurance companies protect individuals and organizations from financial loss by assuming billions of dollars in risks each year. Underwriters identify and analyze the risk of loss from their policyholders, establish appropriate premium rates, and write policies that cover that risk. An insurance company may lose business to competitors if the underwriter appraises risks too conservatively, or it may have to pay more claims if the underwriting actions are too liberal.
Technology plays an increasingly important role in an underwriter's job. Underwriters use computer applications called "smart systems" to manage risks more efficiently and accurately. They enter into the computer various information relating to a person or organization whose application for insurance is pending. These systems automatically analyze and rate insurance applications, then recommend acceptance or denial of the risk, or they adjust the premium rate in accordance with the risk. Underwriters are then better equipped to make sound decisions in an effort to avoid excessive losses in the future.
With the aid of computers, underwriters analyze information in insurance applications, reports from loss control consultants, medical reports, and actuarial studiesreports that describe the probability of insured loss. They then decide whether to issue a policy and outline the terms of the contract, including the amount of the premium. Underwriters sometimes correspond with policyholders, agents, and managers about policy cancellations or other matters. On rare occasions, they accompany sales representatives on appointments with prospective clients. (Life insurance agents and brokers are increasingly called "life underwriters;" they are included in the section on insurance agents and brokers elsewhere in the Handbook.)
Most underwriters specialize in one of three major categories of insurancelife, property and casualty, or health. They further specialize in group or individual policies. Property and casualty underwriters often specialize by type of risk insured, such as fire, homeowners, automobile, marine, property, liability, or workers' compensation. In cases where casualty companies insure in a single "package'' policy, covering various types of risks, the underwriter must be familiar with different lines of insurance. Some underwriters, called commercial account underwriters, handle business insurance exclusively. They often evaluate a firm's entire operation in appraising its application for insurance.
An increasing proportion of insurance sales, particularly in life and health insurance, are being made through group contracts. A standard group policy insures everyone in a specified group through a single contract at a standard premium rate. The group underwriter analyzes the overall composition of the group to assure that the total risk is not excessive. Another type of group policy provides members of a groupa labor union, for examplewith individual policies reflecting their needs. These generally are casualty policies, such as those covering automobiles. The casualty underwriter analyzes the application of each group member and makes individual appraisals. Some group underwriters meet with union or employer representatives to discuss the types of policies available to their group.
Underwriters have desk jobs that require no unusual physical activity. Their offices generally are comfortable and pleasant. Although overtime may be required, underwriters generally work from 35 to 40 hours a week. They occasionally attend meetings away from home for several days. Construction and marine underwriters often travel to inspect work sites and assess risks.
Insurance underwriters held about 95,000 jobs in 1996. The following tabulation shows the percent distribution of employment by industry in 1996.
Fire, marine, and casualty insurance carriers 37 Insurance agents, brokers, and service 33 Life insurance carriers 15 Pension funds and miscellaneous insurance carriers 4 Medical service and health insurance carriers 4 Other industries 7
Most underwriters worked for insurance companies, often called "carriers." Most of the remaining underwriters worked in independent insurance agencies (firms which represent one or more insurance companies) and brokers (firms which may deal with any insurance company and represent the interests of the buyers of insurance, known as "insureds.") A small number of underwriters worked in agencies owned and operated by banks, mortgage companies, and real estate firms.
Office underwriters in the life insurance industry are most likely to work in an insurance company's home office. In some large general agencies, underwriters help life insurance agents, or "producers," determine if the risk will be accepted or rejected by the home office. However, most local life insurance offices deal predominantly with sales, not underwriting. Property and casualty underwriters also work in home offices, but more work for agencies or regional branch offices, where they have the authority to underwrite risks and determine an appropriate rating without consulting the home office.
For beginning underwriting jobs, most large insurance companies prefer college graduates who have a degree in business administration or finance, with courses or experience in accounting. However, a bachelor's degree in almost any fieldplus courses in business law and accountingprovides a good general background and may be sufficient to qualify. Computer knowledge is essential.
Beginners typically start as underwriter trainees or assistant underwriters. They may help collect information on applicants and evaluate routine applications under the supervision of an experienced risk analyst. Property and casualty trainees may study claim files to become familiar with factors associated with certain types of losses. Many larger insurers offer a training program, lasting from a few months to a year, that combines study with work. As trainees gain experience, they are assigned policy applications that are more complex and cover greater risks. These require the use of computers for more efficient analysis and processing.
Continuing education is necessary for advancement. Insurance companies generally pay tuition for underwriting courses that their trainees successfully complete; some also offer salary incentives. Independent study programs for experienced property and casualty underwriters are also available. The Insurance Institute of America offers a program called "Introduction to Underwriting" for beginning underwriters, and the specialty designation, AU, or Associate Underwriting, the second formal step in developing a career in underwriting. To earn the AU designation, underwriters complete a series of courses and examinations; it usually takes about 2 years to earn the AU designation. The American Institute for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters awards the designation, CPCU, or Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter, the third and final stage of development for an underwriter. Earning the more advanced CPCU designation generally takes about 5 years, and requires passing 10 examinations covering personal and commercial insurance, risk management, business and insurance law, accounting, finance, management, economics, and ethics. Although CPCU's may be underwriters, the CPCU is intended for everyone working in all aspects of property and casualty insurance. The American Society of Chartered Life Underwriters provides the Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation, intended for underwriters working in life insurance.
Underwriting can be a satisfying career for people who enjoy working with detail and analyzing information. In addition, underwriters must possess good judgment in order to make sound decisions. They must also be imaginative and aggressive, especially when they have to obtain information from many outside sources.
Experienced underwriters who complete courses of study may advance to senior underwriter or underwriting manager positions. Some underwriting managers are promoted to senior managerial jobs. Others are attracted to the earnings potential of sales and obtain State licensing to sell insurance and insurance products as agents or brokers.
Employment of underwriters is expected to increase more slowly than the average for all occupations through the year 2006. Most job openings are expected to result from the need to replace underwriters who transfer to other occupations or stop working altogether.
A number of factors underlie the continuing need for underwriters. As people acquire assets and take on family responsibilities, the need for life, health, and property and casualty insurance grows. For example, concerns for financial security and liability contribute to demands for more insurance protection for homes, automobiles, pleasure craft, and other valuables. Expanding long-term healthcare and pension benefits for retireeswho are an increasing proportion of the populationalso will increase underwriting opportunities. And, new or expanding businesses will need protection for new factories and equipment, and product liability, workers' compensation, and employee benefits insurance.
Employment of underwriters, however, is not expected to keep pace with growth in demand for insurance. Increased use of underwriting software systems will slow the demand for new underwriters. As more businesses self-insureby setting a rate for their own company and paying premiums into a contingency funddemand for some property and casualty underwriters will decline. Additionally, many property and casualty companies are foregoing personal lines of insuranceespecially automobile and homeownersand are concentrating on commercial lines of business.
Underwriters specializing in certain lines of insurance may find it difficult to transfer to another type of insurance if their jobs are threatened by corporate downsizing. Because insurance is usually regarded as a necessity, regardless of economic conditions, underwriters are unlikely to be laid off because of a recession.
Median annual earnings of full-time wage and salary underwriters were about $31,400 in 1996. The middle 50 percent earned between $24,000 and $41,000 a year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $18,400; the top 10 percent, more than $52,400.
In addition to typical benefits, almost all insurance companies provide employer-financed group life, health, and retirement plans.
Underwriters make decisions on the basis of financial data. Other workers with the same type of responsibility include auditors, budget analysts, financial advisers, loan officers, credit managers, real estate appraisers, and risk managers.
General information about a career as an insurance underwriter is available from the home offices of many life insurance and property-liability insurance companies. Information about the insurance business in general and the underwriting function in particular also may be obtained from:
The American Institute for Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriters, and the Insurance Institute of America, 720 Providence Rd., P.O. Box 3016, Malvern, PA 19355-0716.

I found some time in my busy schedule to finally update this blog. I also got a note from a friend of mine in Israel and said that she liked what she read so I feel an update is warranted.
I am currently listening to pod casts on my phone. I downloaded a mess of them, ranging from money to comedy and mom related issues. They are free and the only drag is that I have to charge up my phone more frequently. There is a wealth of information and things that you learn can really help you in your life.
Since it has been quite awhile, I'll update you on what's been happening in my life. When last I left this blog, it was May and summer was just beginning. Well, summer went by in a flash, as it was filled with lots of trips, family gatherings, and lots of visits to water parks. We traveled to Indiana, Missouri, through Kansas to Colorado, a flight for me to Los Angeles and a quick trip in October to Iowa. We spent many many hours in the car and it was an adjustment sometimes but on the whole, it went very well. Our trip to Colorado was 17 hours one way with a puppy dog. We had difficulties finding an appropriate doggy sitter so we ended up taking her with us. She was good and spent half the time on our laps and sleeping in the back with Arielle. We spent a week with my mom and visited with my brother and friends from my high school days. This was the first visit to see family since Susan and I had gotten together so for me, it was stressful. It was a fabulous visit, complete with my friends and mom and brother fully embracing Susan as one of the family. Susan also found out that some of my bad habits, do in fact come from my family. My mother has some of my annoying habits too. I blame heredity. :) Three different water parks were visited in three different states and we got quite a bit of sun..and had a ton of fun in the sun and surf.
I know some of you are wondering about my personal life, and I am more than happy to tell you, it is going perfectly and better than I deserve. Our families summer together was full and more fun and enlightening than any other other time in my life. As you remember from April, Susan and I got engaged to be married. The summer was spent planning that wedding and making sure that our lives together would make a smooth transition for our blended family. We went through both houses and did major cleaning up and decluttering. We moved furniture, replaced broken items, and reorganized bedrooms and by September, we had a moving van come in with a friend of ours and by Sunday evening, we were unpacking boxes and setting furniture up in all the rooms. It looks like a totally different house but it also feels more like home than it ever has before. Susan and I were both born in Germany to GI dads so our front room has artifacts from our respective German childhood homes. Brings a whole new sense of family to the home. Family pictures adorn the walls and have extended family represented. Susan is truly an asset to my disorganization and lack of creativity in decorating. She is great for Arielle too, and takes up the slack when I am not available. She is truly the best thing that has happened to both of us.
In October, we took a weekend and drove up to Iowa to visit some friends and to...get married! Iowa is one of 5 states that legally performs same sex wedding ceremonies so on October 8th, in a judges chamber in front of 2 of our friends, Susan and I got married. We had dinner at a lovely restaurant and visited a Taste of Des Moines Street Fair.
November was very busy, complete with our commitment ceremony for our family and friends. My mom from Colorado and sisters family from Indiana came in as well as friends from Las Vegas and Kansas City. We had a blast and now, are so glad we did it. But we are also glad that we only do this once, because it was a lot of stress in the planning and getting the weather to cooperate. We had 50 degree weather and a beautiful Sunday afternoon in a gorgeous park in Missouri. The pictures are gorgeous!
It is now December and we are racing to Christmas. The tree is up, presents are bought and mostly wrapped, and only 5 more school days til we have winter break for 2 weeks. YAY!! Life has been so hectic and bustling, but I know for a fact, that this year was the best I have ever had in my entire life. I finally found true happiness and know what is important to me and my family. love conquers all hate surrounding us. Tell the truth at all times and show love to all, you will be rewarded for it.

Yes, I Watched2
09/27/2016 by syrbal-labrys
Man, was that painful. No, I don't like Trump. But all that aside? Painful for different reasons. Painful this morning as I read what people who DO like Trump thought was "good" about how he did or didn't do in the debate.
To be honest, lately, I admit to some personal history confusion and watching the debate last night reminded me that my political childhood was a metaphor made like I like my salads — chopped and mixed! I am no spring chicken. Thus, when I see Trump supporters claiming that now is the "worst" in race relations in America ever, my eyes frankly almost roll out of my head.
Yes, this IS where I bore you with tales of seeing black children in their "separate but equal" school bus – an open pick-up truck bed, going to their allegedly separate but equal schools in Louisiana before desegregation laws took effect. Why am I boring you with this again? Because Trump feels blowing his own horn (Ouch – sorry for that nearly unintended sexual image, ya'll) is "establishing good relations with the black community." That's why. Admittedly, that was just a small glinting bit of the whole cubic zirconia "sparkle" of the Donald "being himself" – all real and stamina-filled Presidential!
See, I can remember, like someone else I greatly respect, back when there was a bit more confusion over which party was the one full of racist pricks. In my family, my parents cancelled each others' votes, it's not odd that they did, but odd how they did. My father was a racist. My mother claimed to not be one, though she talked an awful lot about "trashy people of color driving Cadillacs". My mother voted Democrat and wept aloud when JFK was shot. My father, the open racist, who beat me if he caught me playing with little black kids in the neighborhood, voted Republican. Obviously, they were on some political cusp or other and strongly in opposition to each other in more than politics. I don't think the GOP is on a political cusp presently, btw; that would mean they had wised up beyond their own denial of America being a multi-racial nation with an aging, dying white majority.
The debate reminded me of my conflicted parents because when Trump was called on supporting the war on Howard Stern's show, he swore up and down it was the liberal media not telling how he argued against it on some right-wing pundit's show. This made me wonder if Trump always says BOTH things on every topic, in different venues? Then he can claim, at his convenience, to be either against or for whatever it is under the media's blurry magnifying glass, you see. My dad used to do something similar: my mom would chapter and verse him on Democrats fighting poverty and racism and he would ask her how she "liked them Southern Dems who know how to do Jim Crow?" He would say how he'd vote for "them good ole' boys, myself" and she would be spitting mad and silenced.
Trump also pulled that, as the media has pulled it all along. Trump can bitch about negative ads from the Democrats, but his own name-calling on every stage is not questioned much. He can be a two-faced word-salad tosser on par with Sarah Palin, but never be doggedly pursued on stuff that matters — like whether he has paid any income tax on his alleged billions, or even why the IRS audits him so freaking often.
Last night, Mr. No-Prep-So-I-Can-Be-Myself tried to cue off of Clinton's answers whenever he could. He failed pretty miserably and fell back on his own few "bonafides" — the usual verbal septic tank spill-over he spits out in front of his (yes, they are) deplorable supporters. He thinks he can tell NATO allies to pay for our military support as if we are some 21st century Swiss mercenaries, apparently? He clearly lacks understanding of how 21st or even 20th century recording devices work – since he denies saying things that are perfectly well documented on video.
Yet, polls will go on saying Americans love Trump. But does America? Or is it just that the majority of voters are fucking sick of getting polls sent at a dozen or twenty a day? And the only ones still enthusiastically replying ARE the deplorables?
I'm a former Bernie supporter. I am voting for Hillary Clinton. The pollsters can stop insulting my intelligence and political loyalty with lines about "OMG, ____, you didn't reply or give us money; are you REALLY supporting Trump." No. I am not; unholy hell-on-earth-if-he-wins — if I had taken a shot every time I said "OMG, what an ass he is!" last night, I'd have died of alcohol poisoning!

You are made of stronger stuff than I. It's all I could do to watch a 5 minute clip. I supported Bernie too so I'm pretty disappointed with the choices. However, I cannot vote for Trump. Cannot be part of that Sh*t show. Really mad that I have to vote for Hillary to stop him, but so it goes.
One thing that's happened is that all the people running for the lesser offices look pretty normal, at least here in NH. They are reality based who understand that working with those on the other side is the only way to get things done. At one time I could have gotten worked up about their differences, but those seem pretty minor now.

Re: Mary E. Plaster 1800's VA
In reply to:
Re: Mary E. Plaster 1800's VA
Melanie, this is the info I have:
Mary Ruhama Plaster was a daughter of Mark Howell and Louvenia Sharp Plaster.
Mark was born 1816 in Patrick County VA, moved to Russell County VA where he met and married Louvenia.His other children according to one source were Eliza, Robert, Samuel,Inez. Another source listed Elizabeth "Eliza" Ann, Samuel C., Lucy Virginia, Pena "Penie" Florence, Harvey Lee, William.
I don't know who Mary married. Try looking under Ruhama; one source used that name only.
By the way, do you know about the PPPFA (Plaster/Plasterers/Plasters Family Association)? They're working on a genealogy book and have lots of information.
Hope this helps.
(Please don't take this info as gospel; I'm very much a novice at this and can't guarantee this is completely accurate.)
