You might be included in 40% of adult people who get insomnia, a common sleeping disorder in America. Insomnia involves getting difficulty to sleep, waking up and getting difficulty to sleep again, or frequently getting up earlier.
If you experience this kind of sleeping disorder for several days, you might get temporary insomnia. If you experience it for several weeks, you might get short term insomnia. However, this problem will be serious if you experience it every night in a week and you do not experience it again after a month or even more.
The most common insomnia is insomnia that is more and more, and finally you get restless because of it. Insomnia itself is not a disease, but it is a symptom of other problems that involve physical, emotional, and behavioral problems.
To get the best solution, find first the causal factors of sleeping disorder. The followings are several causal factors of sleeping disorder.
1. Stress
Many experts consider that stress is the main causal factor of short term sleeping disorder. You might get stress because of your job pressure, marriage problem, chronic disease, or dead presence in your family. You usually do not get insomnia anymore when the situation that makes you get stress ends.
If your body still produces stress hormone before sleeping, the hormone will constrain the production of melatonin, a hormone that organizes circadian rhythm. High stress can also constrain the recovery effect of growth hormone that can help the formation of new cells.
2. Alcohol and caffeine
Consuming alcohol and caffeine, especially if you consume them too close to sleeping time will disturb your profound sleep. Caffeine is an incentive substance that makes you get difficulty to sleep. Its effect will be dependable for 10 hours after consuming it, especially for old people who have slower metabolism.
Meanwhile, even though alcohol is a tranquilizer and able to help you fall asleep fast, it also stirs your sleep up thoroughly after its effect is lost.
3. Sick and chronic condition medically
Some people can not sleep well because of a medical condition that makes them comfortable. The illness because of arthritis, the heat in stomach, the wound in back, and headache can make you wake up and sleep again difficultly.
A random research in America reports that a half of adult people experiences sickness that disturbs their sleeping for 10 nights or more per month. The chronic conditions like Parkinson and diabetes make you get difficulty to sleep, so you will stay awake all night.
4. The production of hormone that is up and down
In the beginning and final of menstruation cycle, the low progesterone rate can cause you to get difficulty to sleep. If you consider that hormone is one of causal factors of sleeping disorder, make a note about your daily sleep in a month. It might help you to determine the period that you should avoid to consume caffeine, alcohol, and other things that can disturb your sleep.
The fluctuation of estrogen rate also can cause you to get difficulty to sleep during menopause. To solve it, you can do the replacement therapy of estrogen.
5. Medicines
The certain medicines like corticosteroid and some medicines to cope with high blood pressure, asthma, and depression can disturb your sleep. Medicine to cope with thyroid gland also can disturb your sleep if its dose is too high.
Many common medicines that include medicine to cope with clogged nose and medicine to lose your weight contain incentive substance like pseudo ephedrine. Some formulas from aspirin also contain caffeine. If you get sleeping disorder, you can check your medicines out with doctor help.
6. Depression
Depressed people usually sleep less and get sleeping disorder in the beginning of REM sleeping. Based on a research, 90% of depressed people get sleeping disorder. This problem includes waking up earlier and sleeping too much. In this case, anti depression medicine can be the solution.

Spoilers Below
Well, I suppose I'll write my review. I was going to make something to eat, but the kitchen is currently occupied by my old lady. Not that my girl & I can't both fit and cook in the room simultaneously, we can. It's just that she fancies the addition of pepper to numerous dishes, especially eggs, which she is making now. I'm not a pepper fan, myself. I don't particularly dislike it, but – for instance – I have never found myself adding extra to anything, or getting fresh-ground pepper twisted onto any of my food while dining out. (You dig?) But the real issue here is that she uses so much pepper that the air becomes saturated with it. I don't know how she stands it; I can't even be in the room. If I try, as soon as I enter I can feel it choke my lungs and sting my eyeballs, like that time I accidentally walked into the middle of a rowdy Occupy Wall Street protest on the way to work.
Bah, anyway, on to the review. Highlights of Season 4,
Episode 2 of Sanity Not Included included: the sounds Aleks and Dex make after their last fish pun, & the sounds the ambushed soldiers made when they were killed (whoa, that's a heavy sentence, let me assure you, it's way less disturbing than how it sounded just now.) The choice- selection scene (prior to the actual choice part) was funny as well. As much as I disapprove of their excessive use of gay references, the little gay voice in the "Stop Moving!" segment was definitely humorous too.
Criticisms? Yeah, I got a few. I'm honestly not a huge fan of the aforementioned "Click Your Choice" option in this episode, and in the series as a whole. This is odd, considering I was a big fan of the Choose Your Adventure books as a kid. And I went all-in with those books; I didn't hold my finger on the previous page or nothin'. In this show's case, however, none of the option clips are ever very funny, and usually you have to watch an ad before each one because they are separate videos. If I were you, I'd just skip them and go on living my life.
The Froggy G rap was pretty lame too. Corny lyrics, and a lame game to go with it. Maybe I'm being a bit hard on the show, because I actually do enjoy it. I think it may have to do with the drop-off this show has had since the first season. Those first dozen episodes were side-splittingly hilarious. I laughed so hard and loud that the Ol' Ball & Chain came running into the room to see what all the commotion was, and got hooked herself after just one episode.
But then the writing quality slowly began to drop as the second season progressed. Unfortunately, this wasn't just a sophomore slump, and the decline continued into the next season. Though I gave a favorable review to last week's Season 4 debut, this one was a step down compared to that. And when an episode of SNL flops, I get extra irritated because I think of the good ol' days.
Whatever the reason, most of the jokes just didn't do it for me this week. Now it'll be up to the third episode to tell which direction this season of Sanity Not Included is truly headed.

Confidence and self-esteem
When confidence and self-esteem take a knock
When we have confidence, we have belief in our ability and capabilities to do the things we want to do and to be the person we want to be. We don't even think about being confident; we just do the things we want to. We just cope. Sometimes our confidence can take a knock – maybe if something doesn't go well or if our belief is that it won't go well. Low confidence or poor self-esteem can prevent us from doing the things we want. Self-doubt creeps in, creating anxiety and worry, and you may find it can influence your relationships with others and your social confidence. It can prevent you from maximising your potential and living life the way you want.
You may be experiencing a general feeling of low self-esteem or confidence, or perhaps a lack of confidence in a specific situation such as making a speech, a job interview or meeting new people.
It doesn't have to be like this.
How can Solution Focused Hypnotherapy help with confidence and self-esteem?
Hypnotherapy can help you cope with life more easily. Using solution-focused techniques, I help you focus on what it's like when you are more confident. I'll help you identify the strengths you already have and access those resources more readily. And I encourage you to focus on what you can do, rather than what you can't, so you can confidently enjoy life more and more.
Change is much easier than you think. Feel free to get in touch and find out more.

Ventilation System :
If you are bearing in mind a POEB structure for your next infrastructural project, than you are probably understand the need of sufficient ventilation is necessary. The optimum amount of ventilation for PEB structure depends on it size, shape, location and purpose. Standard rule of ventilation will serve 2400 square feet of interior space. Keep in mind that a good ventilation system requires cross ventilation. As example a ridge ventilator on the roof needs a lover near the floor to become really effective. Buildtrade Engineering Ltd. Offers the three most common accessories used to ventilate PEB structure ridge ventilator, circular ventilator and lovers.
BEL Ridge ventilator
We offer 10 ridge ventilators with 9 and 12 throats. Roll-formed from 26-gauge structural-quality GALVALUME(R), the vents are available in mill finish or Polar White. Each comes complete with rain cap, bird screen and continuous-adjustable damper as well as the connector bar gutter splices needed for installing multiple units in a continuous run. The base is performed to the proper roof pitch (1:2 up to 4:12), and we provide instructions for their simple installation.
Developed by Buildtrade IT
BEL Circular ventilator
BELs 20-diameter circular ventilators are also made from 26 gauge GALVALUME(R) and available in mill finish or Polar White. Each ventilator includes a bird screen and features a spring-loaded butterfly damper which locks securely open until released. Our flat-base ventilators can easily be field modified to fit the appropriate roof slope for weather tight installation.
BEL Louvers
Although best used to generate cross flow for larger devices, louvers often provide the only ventilation in smaller buildings. We offers fixed 3x3, 3x4 and 4x4 or adjustable 3x5 and 4x4 GALVALUME (R) louvers in Polar White or mill finish, each with bird screen, 18- gauge frame and 20-gauge fins.

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) monitor and control physical processes in many different industries and sectors. Cyber attacks against ICS devices present a real threat to organizations that employ ICS to monitor and control manufacturing processes. The NIST Engineering Laboratory (EL), in conjunction with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, will produce a series of example solutions demonstrating four cybersecurity capabilities for manufacturing organizations. Each example solution will highlight an individual capability: Behavioral Anomaly Detection, ICS Application Whitelisting, Malware Detection and Mitigation, and ICS Data Integrity. This document is part one of a four-part series and addresses only behavioral anomaly detection capabilities.
With these capabilities in place, manufacturers may find it easier to detect anomalous conditions, control what programs and applications are executed in their operating environments, mitigate malware attacks, and ensure the integrity of critical operational data.
For each of the four capabilities listed above, the NIST EL and the NCCoE will map the security characteristics to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), which will provide standards-based security controls for manufacturers. In addition, the EL and the NCCoE will implement each of the capabilities in two distinct but related lab settings: a robotics-based manufacturing enclave and a process control enclave that resembles what is being used by chemical manufacturing industries.
This project will result in a publicly available NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide, a detailed implementation guide of the practical steps needed to implement the cybersecurity example solution that addresses this challenge.

Oftentimes in my teaching of creative writing, I include on the syllabus this passage from the poet Muriel Rukeyser's book The Life of Poetry:
"Faith is found here, not in a destiny raiding and parceling out knowledge and the earth, but in a people who, person by person, believes itself. Do you accept your own gestures and symbols? Do you believe what you yourself say? When you act, do you believe what you are doing?"
Since reading these words years ago, they often come to me in times when I feel lost or feel that we, as a society, are lost. What would it mean to accept [my] own gestures and symbols? To believe what I am saying? This is a good thing for writers to slow down and ask themselves periodically, a good thing for us all to ask ourselves. Do you believe your own words and gestures?
Rukeyser is an inspiring figure for me for a number of reasons. As Adrienne Rich explained in her introduction to the Muriel Rukeyser Reader (a wonderful book edited by Jan Heller Levi in 1994, helping usher in a new generation of Rukeyser fans), "Any sketch of her life…suggests the vitality of a woman who was by nature a participant, as well as an inspired observer, and the risk-taking of one who trusted the unexpected, the fortuitous, without relinquishing choice or a sense of direction." She was a young woman who had won the Yale Younger Poets Award at twenty-one and who had written about struggles for justice as a witness to events such as the Scottsboro trial in Alabama and the tragedy in Gauley Bridge, West Virginia, in which many workers died of the lung disease silicosis. In her early poems, she also served as witness to the Spanish Civil War and World War II, while bringing in autobiographical and mythic threads. By the late 1940s, Rukeyser was living as a single mother in San Francisco. As others have noted, Rukeyser served as a model for many writers as an artist for whom life and art were not separate things, and her voice in this collection expresses this idea. She is the artist as socially-engaged human being, as mother, daughter, lover, teacher. Rich again: "She wrote out of a woman's sexual longings, pregnancy, night-feedings, in a time when it was courageous to do so, especially as she did it—unapologetically, as a big woman alive in mind and body, capable of violence and despair, as well as desire."
I set out to write about New Year's intentions and having faith in oneself as an artist, as a whole-souled human, but when I went to look at Rukeyser's work again, I spent the evening before New Year's Eve immersed in it, not knowing what to write but basking in Rukeyser as model for a creative life, a woman's life, and the bravery and unconventionality of that.
Coincidentally, even as the Rukeyser lines from The Life of Poetry were rattling around in my mind, a friend sent me a photo of her poem "Effort at Speech Between Two People," which he had read to his father at his bedside. The poem appears in Rukeyser's first book Theory of Flight, published when she was just twenty-one, and the self-assuredness is startling. The first stanza reads:
Speak to me. Take my hand. What are you now?
I will tell you all. I will conceal nothing.
When I was three, a little child read a story about a rabbit
who died, in the story, and I crawled under a chair :
a pink rabbit : it was my birthday, and a candle
burnt a sore spot on my finger, and I was told to be happy.
This is what Charles Simic called the "living voice" of poetry (in speaking about Austrian poet Ingeborg Bachmann). This is, in Rukeyser's own conception of poetry, "an exchange of energy, a system of relationships" (quoted in Rich's introduction). Rukeyser's voice reaches out to us from across time and space. We take her hand.
I spent the morning of New Year's Eve intending to work on this essay but instead messaging with three women writers I know, exchanging ideas for places to publish and giving each other encouragement to follow our threads of creative impulse, despite (or because) they were spilling across genre boundaries or becoming too weird for mainstream publications. Protection, one friend said, was her word of the year, protection of her own time and energy for creative projects and encouragement of her women artist friends. It seems strange but not strange at all that the issues Rukeyser and Rich were writing about in their overlapping creative lives would still be with us—how women's gifts can be protected and heard, how community is at the center of what is powerful about the arts, how the lives of working people and those who came before us and made our lives possible must be respected and witnessed. One conversation this morning ranged backward to our mothers and the work they did, the parallels we found in the stories of our mothers' humble beginnings and stubborn, unlikely achievements. In another conversation, we situated ourselves as mother-artists, wondering about the degree of guilt we should feel about protecting our artist lives.
No guilt! said my friend. Protection. (But who does what labor? Who starts with which advantages? These are the questions that still tug at our minds, and that we should keep pondering as artists and citizens.) Still, we can relish the idea that our children will see their mothers working at the edges of their powers, finding art in the everyday. This is an important one to hang onto. It was Rukeyser, after all, who wrote in the poem "Käthe Kollwitz": "What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?/ The world would split open."
In The Life of Poetry, Rukeyser wrote,"Facing and communicating, that will be our life, in the world and in poetry. Are we to teach this? All we can show to people is themselves; show them what passion they possess, and we will have come to the poetry. This is the knowledge of communication, and it is the fear of it which has cut us down." This book was published in 1948.
My intentions for 2019 are to become very still and to listen. To observe the world around me. To believe that my observations are worthwhile. To allow the stillness necessary for a deep sort of noticing of my own desires and impulses. To believe my own words and gestures. To gently nudge my students in the direction of believing in their own interest in the world, believing that what they do and say is worthwhile.
Believing in oneself, believing in community, believing in the redemption of poetry and art. These are heady intentions. As always, it helps to see it collectively, through the eyes of my community of artist friends and with the help of literary forebears. The last stanza ofRukeyser's "Effort at Speech Between Two People" is a start:
What are you now? If we could touch one another,
if these our separate entities could come to grips,
clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday
I stood in a crowded street that was live with people,
and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.

If you're considering new furniture, flooring or cabinetry, it pays to know your woods:
Pine is a yellowish or whitish wood with dark brown knots, often used for rustic appearance in furniture and cabinetry. Pros: It's low cost, resists warping, takes well to stain and paint, and develops a nice, rustic patina. Cons: The softer wood is prone to scratches and dents.
Cherry has a fine, straight grain ranging in color from reddish brown to blond, often used for carved furniture or Shaker-style tables or cabinets. Pros: Easily shaped and beautiful polished or unstained. Cons: Expensive and may darken with age.
Maple is a white hardwood sometimes tinged red, often used for heavy-use items like dressers and kitchen cabinets. Pros: Affordable and durable. Takes dark stains to mimic pricier woods. Cons: Without proper sealing, stains can look blotchy.
Oak is a swirl-grained hardwood in red and white varieties, often used as flooring or in Arts and Crafts or Mission-style furniture. Pros: Durable and resistant to warping. Cons: Stain can darken and exaggerate grain so it appears two-toned.
Walnut is a straight-grained hardwood that comes in chocolate brown and yellow varieties. Often used for headboards and ornate furniture. Pros: Strong and stable wood with rich coloring. Cons: Expensive and color can vary greatly in a single board.

Over the years we've acquired a small collection of menorahs (properly called a hannukiah) over the years: family heirlooms, gifts, and a couple we've bought. It's become a family tradition to use a different one every night for the eight nights of the festival.
There's a story behind our 'Irish' menorah: http://wp.me/p47zDC-2y
For Day 6, we couldn't decide which menorah to light…so we lit both of them.

Who will be the 2020 sulphur cheats?
At the beginning of this week a number of shipping industry bodies and environmental NGOs issued a joint statement calling for a ban on non-compliant fuels in 2020 when the 0.5% global sulphur cap comes into effect. The call was later supported by Maersk and other shipping bodies.
The statement notes that the 2020 sulphur cap will provide substantial environmental and human health benefits but on the downside it will significantly increase ships' operating costs and will present major challenges to governments that must ensure consistent enforcement across the globe. Their argument is that unless a ship is using an approved equivalent compliance method, there should be no reason for it to be carrying non-compliant fuels for combustion on board.
To secure the intended environmental and health benefits, the parties to the statement say it is of utmost importance that enforcement of this standard is efficient and robust globally. Any failure by governments to ensure consistent implementation and enforcement could also lead to serious market distortion and unfair competition.
For the environmental organisations involved, this is an understandable position to take but, the industry bodies which are BIMCO, Cruise Lines International Association, International Chamber of Shipping, International Parcel Tankers' Association, INTERTANKO and World Shipping Council are constantly saying that they speak for the vast majority of shipowners around the globe.
If they do indeed speak for shipping generally, it begs the question who will be the cheats that make a ban on non-compliant fuels necessary?
It is well known that there are some unscrupulous ship operators around the globe. However, since such operators are less likely to be classed with the leading societies if at all, could well be uninsured and are most probably high on the targeting lists of PSC regimes, then they will almost never be competing for business with the member companies of the shipping bodies making the call.
If on the other hand, the parties involved fear that the cheats will come from within their own ranks, then surely they are not the quality organisations they claim to be. Perhaps they should apply some quality standards to their membership criteria before trying to claim the moral high ground.
As for a complete ban on the carriage of non-compliant fuels, that is arguably a matter for port and flag states to agree. Some may prefer that domestic and local traffic is not forced to pay higher prices for fuels putting goods out of the reach of less affluent populations.

Tipping Etiquette
FutureMrsMcM Posts: 41
Hi All
I'm getting married in Orlando this year (September) and we booked our package through Virgin. I was wondering if anyone else has booked a package through a tour operator and what their thoughts are on tipping for services on the day?
I have absolutely no idea how much money to give for services - I don't want to tip too much (obviously weddings aren't cheap!) but at the same time I don't want to under-tip. I appreciate that people will be working hard to make our day special!
Any ideas on amount would be very welcome. I think tips would go to:
Wedding Planner
Hair & Make Up Providers
Wedding Car Driver
Bus Driver (for guests)
Have I missed anyone? Thanks in advance for any help!

Fed by four alpine glaciers, Fox Glacier falls 2,600 m (8,500 ft) on its 13 km journey from the Southern Alps down to the coast, with it having the distinction of being one of the few glaciers to end among lush rainforest only 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level. Although retreating throughout most of the last 100 years, it has been advancing since 1985. In 2006 the average rate of advance was about a metre a week. In January 2009, the terminal face of the glacier was still advancing and had vertical or overhanging faces which were continually collapsing.
The outflow of the glacier forms the Fox River. During the last ice age, its ice reached beyond the present coastline, and the glacier left behind many moraines during its retreat. Lake Matheson formed as a kettle lake within one of these.

This year's theme for the World Wetlands Day (Feb 2) was "Wetlands for Our Future." The day marks the adoption of the Ramsar Convention of Wetlands in 1971.
Gary Lewis, UN Resident Coordinator in Iran says many people "are unaware of how much wetlands help protect us."
They help ensure fresh water, purify and filter harmful waste from water, serve as incubators for fish and through fishing and fisheries help provide livelihoods. Bursting with biodiversity, wetlands can bring tourist revenue when they are managed sustainably, he said in a press release issued by the UN Information Center in Tehran.
During the past two years, he said, he has been privileged to travel to most parts of Iran. "I have seen the wonders of this rich civilization. I have met many proud and resilient Iranians. I have seen the most stunning mountains, forests, deserts, waters and wetlands. I have seen images of breathtaking beauty. I have seen images of hope."
But, sadly, he said he had also seen images of desperation – almost all of which are related to the water challenges. He had heard stories from Iranians whose livelihoods are under threat from the pressure being imposed on the wetlands as a result of water resource management, pollution and – to a degree – the impact of climate change.
He related the story of Hassan, a resident of the Hamouns situated in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan, who said as a result of the environmental catastrophe "some of us are migrating to other parts of the country." About 10 years ago things were very different. "Boats were bobbing in the water and fishermen were making their daily catches. As far as the eye could see, there was water and greenery. The Hamouns were alive."
Sadly, today the Hamouns face a different situation. "Gone are glittering waters that were once home to migrating birds and an abundance of fish," was Hassan's lament.
"When we listen to people like Hassan, we are forced to accept our collective responsibility for protecting these essential and often under-recognized environmental treasures," Lewis said.
The UN official said one of the first places he travelled to after he arrived in Iran was Qeshm – a beautiful Persian Gulf island in the Straits of Hormuz. Qeshm is a popular tourist destination. It boasts of wetlands, warm sea breezes and the geological wonderland of the Chahkouh Valley. But, it too, has problems related to water. In April 2014, he visited the Shadegan wetland in Khuzestan province, now a wetland-under-threat.
The degradation of Iran's wetlands has created immense damage – to both biodiversity and to people's lives. For when agriculture and fishing are threatened, livelihoods are threatened. When people cannot sustain themselves economically, they move – if they can. And they move to places where other people already live. The consequences can be harsh. Those who are displaced are vulnerable. Tension arises among the communities into which these newly displaced people move. There is more pressure on the environment. A vicious cycle ensues.
What is most concerning "are the humanitarian and human security challenges which may also be heading our way; maybe decades from now. But maybe also just years from now."
Success Stories
However, amid the anxiety, there are real stories of success and encouragement. For example, in October 2013, when visiting Lake Urumia for the first time, he said he was devastated "by my first vision of the lake." What used to be a thriving salt-water lake – the largest of its kind in the Middle East – had been replaced by dry, empty salt-beds. The winds were blowing the salt on to the agricultural lands at the rim of the lake, irreparably damaging this agricultural land. It was another sad story. Yet, for Lake Urumia, hope has also emerged.
During the past year, the governments of Iran and Japan together with the United Nations have joined forces to tackle this environmental challenge. By improving the way water is being managed in some of the agricultural fields in the Urumia basin, the plan is to release more of this "saved" water back into the lake. The objective is – over time – to reallocate more water back into the lake in order to restore it to ecological sustainability.
The damage to these wetlands did not happen overnight. It was many years in the making. It occurred for many different reasons. It will take us a long time to rebuild.
"Already we can see change happening through the words and actions of President Hassan Rouhani and Vice-President Masumeh Ebtekhar. They – and other leaders – have spoken out about the threats to (and from) the environment. They correctly speak of these challenges as matters of national priority."
Lewis concluded that training and education are the key concepts to recovering the wetlands. It is important to educate the youth to conserve and preserve the environment and in this the United Nations "is here to partner Iran in finding solutions. And to work with Iranians to help implement them."

Estate Tax Exemption Limit Doubles for 2018
If you were worried that your beneficiaries would have to pay a lot of your estate in taxes should you pass away during 2018, you just got a lot more breathing room. While the estate tax exemption limit seems to go up a little bit each year, from 2017 to 2018 it doubled! What does that mean for you and your beneficiaries?
Do You Need to File an Estate Tax Return?
In 2018, an estate tax return is not required unless the total value of the estate exceeds $11,180,000. That means most estates are exempt from any taxation at all and beneficiaries will get to enjoy the full use of the funds being left to them. But what can you do if your estate exceeds the exemption limit?
Avoid the Estate Tax
There are a number of ways to ensure that your beneficiaries will experience the least taxation on the assets they receive when you pass on. To get help in planning your estate to leave the funds to your heirs rather than to the government, we encourage you to execute an estate plan and keep it updated by reviewing it annually.
The estate planning attorneys at Petrov Law Firm would be happy to help you execute or review your California estate plan. To schedule a consultation, contact our offices in southern California today by calling 619-344-0360. We look forward to helping you get your future plans down in writing to ensure they will be carried out.Read More
What California Residents Absolutely Must Know About Estate Taxes
If you are a resident of the state of California, there is something you need to know about present estate tax laws and the possibility of future federal and state regulation changes. Before addressing these changes, it is important to note that this article is for informational purposes and is not an editorial opinion on the part of our law firm.
Here are the facts:
- There presently is no state tax on estates in California. California does not impose any additional taxes on top of the federal estate tax.
- 2017 federal estate tax exemption is $5.49 million. That means your heirs will not pay federal taxes on inherited assets including either estate tax or gift tax.
- Federal estate tax could potentially be repealed. The current president of the United States has suggested that he wants to repeal the estate tax entirely so that the federal government does not take any taxes on inherited funds regardless of the sum.
- If the federal estate tax is repealed, California may implement a state estate tax. State Sen. Scott Wiener has already introduced a bill to introduce an estate tax for the state of California. The idea is that the state can recapture this money freed up by tax cuts offered to the wealthy by the federal government for use by the state, especially for use in education, healthcare, and public transportation and roadways according to a statement made by the senator.
How Estate Tax Changes May Affect You and Your Family
If you are leaving a large estate to family or other heirs, planning your estate properly is more vital than ever. As of now, the federal estate tax on funds exceeding $5.49 million is at 40%. If that number is eliminated by the present administration, it is not known whether California will adopt a statewide estate tax. If this occurs, it is not yet known the percent that will be taxed or how much of an estate will remain tax-free. As this situation continues to develop, working together with an estate planning attorney with your best interests at heart may become even more vital.
Petrov Law Firm would be happy to help ensure that that your heirs receive the maximum amount of your estate. Please call 619-344-0360 today to schedule a consultation.Read More
Add an Easement, Reduce Taxes
If you own a large piece of property, especially one untouched by much development, you might consider a conservation easement as part of your estate planning. Conservation easements are a way of keeping property in the family while potentially reducing the tax burden of passing that land from generation to generation.
When you create a conservation easement on your property, you are reducing the value of the land. You are handing over development rights to a public or non-profit organization. Because you or future owners can no longer subdivide or redevelop the land, its value decreases.
The public agency or non-profit organization that holds the development rights through the easement doesn't own the land. You still own the land. And you can even sell the land. However, because there are significant restrictions on the land, the property value generally decreases significantly. With a decrease in property value comes a decrease in risk for estate taxes as you and further generations pass the land along to the subsequent heirs.
Conservation easements are a great option for those concerned about the effects of a deteriorating environment and encroaching development on a family's property. Consult with an estate lawyer to see how this unique estate planning option could help preserve wild lands for your future generations.Read More

Ok, so I really need to get into healthy eating again! Christmas is well over a month ago so I can't keep using that as an excuse.
So I decided to do some batch cooking, of delicious and healthy dinners that I can then just grab and enjoy.
I'm a big fan of chicken and luckily this is a great meat for protein and is low fat. I also love my veggies, the more colour on my plate, the better!
So after a quick trip to the supermarket I was ready to cook my Super Colourful Mediterranean Chicken.
What you will need:
3 fresh chicken breasts.
1 whole red pepper.
1 whole beef tomato.
Can of sweetcorn.
Pack of Mangetout.
Can of kidney beans.
1 whole red onion.
Salt and pepper.
Chicken stock.
Box of Passata.
2 cans of chopped tomatoes.
Juice of one lemon.
250g Orzo pasta.
1 garlic clove.
Extra virgin olive oil.
You will also need a large oven proof pan with a lid, wooden spoon and knife.
What you need to do to make this delicious dinner:
First preheat the oven at 160C/320F/Gas Mark 3, then you need to dice the chicken breast and put in the pan with a drizzle of olive oil, cook over a low heat. Then pour in the passata and the two cans of chopped tomatoes, stir thoroughly and simmer gently.
In the meantime cook the Orzo pasta until almost tender. I leave it with just a little "bite" as the whole dish needs to go in the oven and the pasta finishes off cooking then.
Add the stock and seasoning, crushed garlic and oregano and mix.
Have you ever tried Orzo? It's a small pasta and it actually resembles rice in the packet, although it does swell a little when cooked. It's great for adding bulk to your dinner too.
Then chop the vegetables. You can use veggies to suit your taste but just remember think variety, think colour!
Now mix in the Orzo, add the generous squeeze of lemon and stir until all the ingredients are combined.Now put the lid on the pan and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
I threw some garlic bread in the oven just before the dish was due to be ready to accompany the meal.
Then serve and enjoy!
This quantity of chicken, veg and rice made 7 ample portions so worked out as great value for money and was so easy to make. It tastes wonderful!

"Jacare" Souza's Run at Light-Heavyweight Could Already be Over
Recently Chris Weidman said his move to light-heavyweight could be over, and now Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza is also reporting he may return to 185.
After coming up short against middleweight contender Jack Hermansson earlier this year, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza decided to move up to light-heavyweight. But, after failing to get by Jan Blachowicz at UFC Sao Paulo, Souza's reporting he could be headed back to 185.
Souza comments on future
Souza wasn't handed an easy test in his first Octagon bout at 205, as he agreed to take on Blachowicz, one of the UFC's best light-heavyweights. Although Souza controlled much of the lackluster, slow-paced fight, it was Blachowicz who emerged with the split decision win.
Recently the Brazilian star spoke with MMA Fighting, and while discussing his next move, Souza said this:
"My manager and my team are talking which weight class I'll fight next, so there's a lot going on here right now," Souza said. "We'll make a decision really soon on what's best for us. We're looking at staying at 205 or going back to 185."
"I didn't expect it would be so tough (to take him down)," Souza said. "I was also surprised by his size. I trained with heavyweights for this fight and this guy is really big [laughs]."
This is kind of interesting to hear. On one hand, the fight was very competitive, and Souza also said that "everybody" was expecting Blachowicz to "kill me". So, it's not like the fight went horrifically wrong (although it was widely panned). For example, Weidman was quickly taken out by Dominick Reyes in his light-heavyweight debut, and the former champ's also talking about a possible return to 185.
But, as Souza also alluded to, at light-heavyweight he's going to have to deal with much larger and powerful opponents. So, if Souza can make 185 in a healthy manner, returning to middleweight might be the right move here.
And what about the weight-cut?

Speaking of the cut to 185, Souza had this to say, while discussing that very issue:
"Everybody suffers cutting weight, that's life, but I'm 40 years old," Souza said. "I cut weight my entire life and maybe I was full of it, but I'm excited again, I'm happy, and I want to work. I'm still one of the top fighters of the division."
Reading between the lines here, it sounds like we could see "Jacare" returning to middleweight. After all, Souza did take Weidman out last November, and prior to that, he lost via split decision to Kelvin Gastelum. So, it's not like Souza's been getting bombed out on a regular basis. The only fighter who has stopped him in his last 10 bouts is now former middleweight champ, Robert Whittaker.

Sjukligheten hos var femtepatient bedöms betingad av livsstilsfaktorer.
Socialstyrelsen presenterade inovember 2011 nationella riktlinjer för arbetet med att stödja hälsosamma levnadsvanor.
I vilken omfattning får AT-läkare utbildning i hälsofrämjande arbete? För att besvara den frågan har en webbaserad enkät till landets AT-studierektorer genomförts.
Enkäten visar stora variationer beträffande utbildning i hälsofrämjande arbete för AT-läkare.
För såväl alkohol-, narkotika-,dopnings- och tobaksfrågor som frågor om kost och motion var utbildningstiden i de flesta fall inte mer än 4 timmar.
Mindre än hälften angav att undervisning i strukturerad samtalsmetodik ingår i utbildningen
This thesis aims to describe the initial phase of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in overall terms from a national perspective and to evaluate the impact of an information campaign designed to inform the public about how to act when suspecting an ACS. A total of 1939 patients at 11 hospitals in Swedenwith diagnosed ACS and symptom onset outside hospital completed a questionnaire(I-IV).In Study V, a questionnaire was completed by 116 patients withACS before the campaign and 122 after it. Register data were followed every year to evaluate ambulance use and emergency department (ED) visits.
With regard to symptoms, patients with ST-elevation ACS (STE-ACS) more frequently had associated symptoms and pain with an abrupt onset reaching maximum intensity within minutes. However, fewer than half the patients with STE-ACS had this type of symptom onset. There were more similarities than differences between genders and differences between age groups were minor (I).
Three-quarters of the patients interpreted the symptoms as cardiac in origin. The majority contacted a family member after symptom onset, whereas few called directly for an ambulance. Approaching someone after symptom onset and the belief that the symptoms were cardiac in origin were factors associated with a shorter pre-hospital delay (II).
Half the patients went to hospital by ambulance. Independent factors for ambulance use were knowledge of the importance of quickly seeking medical care and calling for an ambulance when experiencing chest pain, severe symptoms, abrupt onset of pain, STE-ACS, increasing age and distance to hospital of > 5 km. Reasons for not calling for an ambulance were thinking self-transport would be faster or not being ill enough (III). Pain with abrupt onset, STE-ACS, symptoms such as vertigo or near syncope, experiencing the pain as frightening, interpreting the pain as cardiac in origin and knowledge were major factors associated with a short delay between symptom onset and decision to seek medical care, patient decision time (IV).
The information campaign did not result in a reduction in patient decision time, but it appeared to increase ambulance use and the number of patients seeking the ED for acute chest pain (V).
Background: Time is crucial when an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs, but patients often wait before seeking medical care.
Aim: To investigate and compare patients' and relatives' knowledge of AMI, attitudes toward seeking medical care, and intended behaviour if AMI-symptoms occur.
Methods: The present study was a descriptive, multicentre study. Participants were AMI-patients <= 75 years (n = 364) and relatives to AMI-patients (n = 319). Questionnaires were used to explore the participants' knowledge of AMI and attitudes toward seeking medical care.
Results: Both patients and relatives appeared to act more appropriate to someone else's chest pain than to their own. Patients did not have better knowledge of AMI-symptoms than relatives. Women would more often contact someone else before seeking medical care. A greater percentage of elderly (65-75 years), compared to younger individuals, reported that they would call for an ambulance if chest pain occurred.
Conclusions: There were only minor differences between patients and relatives, regarding both knowledge and attitudes. It seems easier to act correctly as a bystander than as a patient. Therefore, in order to decrease patients' delay time it is important to educate relatives as well as patients on how to respond to symptoms of an AMI.

BACKGROUND: Not much is known about the patients' decision time in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of the survey was therefore to describe patients' decision time and factors associated with this parameter in ACS. METHODS: We conducted a national survey comprising intensive cardiac care units at 11 hospitals in Sweden in which patients with ACS diagnosis and symptoms onset outside hospital participated. Main outcome measures were patients' decision time and factors associated with patients' decision time. RESULTS: In all, 1939 patients took part in the survey. The major factors associated with a shorter patient decision time were: 1) ST-elevation ACS, 2) associated symptoms such as vertigo or near syncope, 3) interpreting the symptoms as cardiac in origin, 4) pain appearing suddenly and reaching a maximum within minutes, 5) having knowledge of the importance of quickly seeking medical care and 6) experiencing the symptoms as frightening. The following aspects of the disease were associated with a longer decision time: 1) pain was localised in the back and 2) symptom onset at home when alone. CONCLUSION: A number of factors, including the type of ACS, the type and localisation of symptoms, the place where symptoms occurred, patients' interpretation of symptoms and knowledge were all associated with patients' decision time in connection with ACS.
National guidelines recommend activation of the emergency medical service by patients who have symptoms of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In spite of this, only 50% to 60% of persons with myocardial infarction initiate care by using the emergency medical service. The aim of this study was to define factors influencing the use of ambulance in ACS.
The method used in this study was a national survey comprising intensive cardiac care units at 11 hospitals in Sweden; 1,939 patients with diagnosed ACS and symptom onset outside the hospital completed a questionnaire a few days after admission.
Half of the patients went to the hospital by ambulance. Factors associated with ambulance use were knowledge of the importance of quickly seeking medical care and calling for an ambulance when having chest pain (odds ratio [OR] 3.61, 95% CI 2.43-5.45), abrupt onset of pain reaching maximum intensity within minutes (OR 2.08, 1.62-2.69), nausea or cold sweat (OR 2.02, 1.54-2.65), vertigo or near syncope (OR 1.63, 1.21-2.20), ST-elevation ACS (OR 1.58, 1.21-2.06), increasing age (per year) (OR 1.03, 1.02-1.04), previous history of heart failure (OR 2.48, 1.47-4.26), and distance to the hospital of >5 km (OR 2.0, 1.55-2.59). Those who did not call for an ambulance thought self-transport would be faster or did not believe they were sick enough.
Symptoms, patient characteristics, ACS characteristics, and perceptions and knowledge were all associated with ambulance use in ACS. The fact that knowledge increases ambulance use and the need for behavioral change pose a challenge for health-care professionals.
Objective The objective was to study patients' interpretations, thoughts, and actions after symptom onset in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in total and in relation to gender, age, history of coronary artery disease, type of syndrome, and residential area and its influence on prehospital delay. Setting We performed a national survey comprising intensive cardiac care units at 11 hospitals in Sweden. Method A total of 1939 patients with diagnosed ACS and symptom onset outside hospital completed a questionnaire containing standardized questions within 3 days after admission. Results Three-quarters of the patients interpreted their symptoms as cardiac in origin, and the most common reason was that they knew someone who had had an acute myocardial infarction. The majority contacted a family member, whereas only 3% directly called for an ambulance. Interpreting the symptoms as cardiac in origin and severe pain were major reasons for deciding to seek medical care. Approaching someone after symptom onset and the belief that the symptoms were cardiac in origin were factors associated with a shorter prehospital delay, whereas taking medication to relieve pain resulted in the opposite. The reaction pattern was influenced by gender, age, a history of coronary artery disease, and the type of ACS, but to a lesser extent by residential area. Conclusions Interpreting symptoms as cardiac in origin and approaching someone after symptom onset were major reasons for a shorter prehospital delay in ACS.
Various efforts to reduce patient delay in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have had limited success. One reason might be a misinterpretation of the symptoms of ACS. The aim of this study was therefore to explore the characteristics and severity of symptoms among patients with an ACS in overall terms and in relation to the type of ACS, sex, age, and diabetes.
A total of 1939 patients at 11 hospitals in Sweden answered a questionnaire containing questions relating to the localization and intensity of symptoms, the presence of associated symptoms, the characteristics and experience of pain/symptoms, and the type of symptom onset.
Patients with ST elevation differed from those without by more frequently having associated symptoms. They had higher pain/discomfort intensity and more frequently had pain with abrupt onset reaching maximum intensity within minutes. However, this type of symptom onset was only seen in less than half the patients with ST elevation and only 1 in 5 fulfilled all the criteria usually associated with a severe heart attack. Women differed from men in a few respects. They more frequently reported pain/discomfort in the neck or jaw and back, vomiting, and scored their pain/discomfort slightly higher than men. Differences between age groups were minor and there was no difference between patients with and without diabetes.
The most striking finding was the low proportion of patients with the type of symptoms that are commonly associated with ACS. This is important for the planning of educational campaigns/programs to reduce patient delay.

Since switching to a vegetarian diet, I've been getting more into meal planning. Whilst it might sound boring or even a little bit obsessive, I find that it really helps me to get the most of my days/weeks and also spend smarter with regards to the weekly food shop as, aside from my little sister, my family still all eat meat.
I'm currently attempting to save for my travels to Bali, Malaysia and Hong Kong in November so every penny makes a difference. The main take-away from this is that it helps to try and group up recipes and ingredients and all of that joyously mundane stuff, as well as, you know, meaning I can talk and think about food for a bonus hour.
Work with what you've got
First up, I open up my cupboards and the fridge and see what I've already got in my stocks or what I could potentially mooch off my parents for. I find the most expensive part of my food shop is simply restocking essentials like pastas, seasonings, etc. so it's great when things are plentiful. Also, check for those loose ends: have you got a spare potato? A stray pepper? Make a mental note – or a physical Post-it note – of all of these.
Check in with your diary
Next, open up your 'diary'. Grab a sheet of paper or block out a part of your weekly scheduler/bullet journal and plot out the days you'll be home and the meals you plan on cooking at home. Be real with yourself and if you think you're probably not going to cook, write that down. Meal planning is a great way to prevent or reduce food wastage. This is also often when I begin to feel incredibly guilty about all the times I plan on eating out with friends! Once you've got three chunks blocked out for each day of your week, you're halfway there.
Crack out the cookbooks
Diary in hand, it's time to crack out the cookbooks, recipe cards and all of your foodie ideas! Pop little paper stickers and page holders on the meals you plan to make for breakfast, lunch and dinners and jot those down in your diary. Try and match up these recipes and meal ideas with what's left from your stocks, too. Don't forget, you can always plan to batch cook a dinner and use the leftovers as lunch for the next day! I find that planning my meals helps me to cut down on snacks too – opt for things that you think you'll love as well as are rich in grains, proteins, etc. to eat a little smarter!
My favourite cookbooks:
- A Modern Way to Eat by Anna Jones
- Eat Smart by Niomi Smart
- Jamie Oliver's 15 Minute Meals
The food shop
Finally, it's time for the food shop. You should now be in a position to make a list of any outstanding ingredients by cross-referencing your marked-out recipe books and list of things you have. I like to make batches of fresh pesto, cool salsa and guacamole nearly every week so the ingredients for those pretty much always sit in my grocery list. Don't be afraid to buy bigger volumes of things if they're more affordable and simply freezing them if possible.
Utilising Sunday
Last but not least, use your Sunday to food prep. Having planned your meals, see if there's anything you can batch prepare on Sunday to make the week's cooking easier. A lot of the things I eat, I prefer to prepare fresh on the evening but it could be of use to fill Tupperware with pre-cooked and prepared food to cobble together and heat through. You could even freeze things for the Friday/Saturday/Sunday!
How do you prep your foodie week?
