An exclusive Taylor round shoulder dreadnought design with V-Class bracing that produces a warm, seasoned tone.
The Grand Pacific is a new Taylor shape introduced in 2019 to deliver a new Taylor sound. Built on the innovative V-Class bracing platform, the Grand Pacific is a fully realized example of how body shapes and tonewoods can be sculpted to create distinct and highly desirable tonal palettes. The Builder's Edition 517 Grand Pacific acoustic guitar further showcases Taylor's pursuits to create the most player-friendly guitars in both sound and feel: a compound carve neck profile, rolled fretboard edges, chamfered body edges, and new Curve Wing bridge shape. The Grand Pacific is a unique entry to the dreadnought category, possessing clear low-end power, tonal consistency and sweeping versatility. The Grand Pacific 517 acoustic ships in a luxurious hardshell case with Western floral pattern, made by Taylor for optimal fit and protection.
Tonewood Pairing
V-Class bracing helps create an even clearer delineation between the tonal character of each wood. Sitka Spruce is the most prevalent guitar top wood of the modern era. It blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. The Sitka spruce top on this Grand Pacific features a special seasoning process called "torrefaction", a method of roasting the wood to produce an aged tonal character with greater acoustic resonance and responsiveness. Mahogany, as a general rule, imparts a sound that can be described as "dry" and lives near the other end of the spectrum from rosewood. The "dry" attribute is characterized as clear, woody, and fundamental-strong. The note you play is the note you get - a wonderful thing for many players and musical applications.
Taylor's ES2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor's ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor's patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn't sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's tone to come through clearly whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before while playing plugged-in. Together with Taylor's custom-designed "professional audio"-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar. The Taylor Expression System 2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls.
V-Class Bracing
Taylor's V-Class bracing is a fundamental innovation in acoustic guitar design. It marks an important evolution beyond traditional X-bracing, introducing an entirely new platform for acoustic performance. It is essentially a "sonic engine" that optimizes the response of an acoustic guitar in three key ways: by boosting volume, sustain, and by largely resolving the intonation (in-tune-ness) issues that have long plagued acoustic guitars. V-Class bracing creates purer, more orderly notes that don't cancel each other out or sound "off". They have clearer, more consistent response, and the whole fretboard is brought into greater sonic alignment for a more musical playing/listening experience. Guitars with V-Class bracing are easier to tune; the pitch sounds purer and more solid, and electronic tuners can more easily locate notes for quick, precise tuning. Other benefits: harmonics ring more uniformly down the neck, notes are louder with more projection and sustain, and notes are more consistent, i.e., upper register notes don't get choked out or swallowed. Fewer "sour" sonic qualities exist with chords; a more agreeable relationship is created between notes as they ripen, bloom and decay.
The Taylor Difference
What sets Taylor Guitars apart? Unmatched build quality, the most stable and playable necks, a vast array of tonal options, eco-conscious and ethically-sourced raw materials, and a lifetime of service and support.

As I write this coconut chapati recipe, I have mulled over it. For a tad longer than a minute. I am convinced that the success of the chapati is due to its versatility. And formless-ness. Pun intended.
Let me explain.
- As a light snack, you literally fold/roll, pick and go!
- For breakfast, you can roll in a hotdog, sausage or fried egg…remember rolex?
- It can be used to hold/wrap food and salads, much like a tortilla.
- Is used as an accompaniment in every meal, veggies, stews, choma/grilled meat…
- It keeps quite well if stored in a refrigerator.
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 heaped tablespoon of desiccated coconut.
- 1/2 tablespoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- Warm water
- Vegetable oil
- Preparation: 20 minutes
- Cooking: 20 minutes
- Serves: 8-10
Let's Cook!
In a bowl, pour in the flour, coconut, salt and sugar. Pour in the warm water and little at a time until the flour comes together to form a dough.
Continue adding little flour until it holds together.Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and fold into the dough until it is nice and soft and not sticky.
Allow the dough to rest for one hour in a bowl and cover with a clean cloth.
Set the dough on the counter top after lightly dusting it with flour. Cut out or pinch a palm full of dough and roll it out in the shape of a circle.
Apply vegetable oil on the surface. Using a knife, cut a straight line from the edge of the circle to the center of the circle. Pick one edge of the line and begin rolling it round to the other end of the same circle. You will end up with a tubular cone shaped dough.
Now, stretch it slightly as you coil it into a disc. Repeat until you have all your discs lined up.
Place your cast iron griddle on the fire. Roll out one of the discs into a circle shape again. Pour half a tablespoon of vegetable oil on the griddle and place the 'chapati' on. Cook until lightly browned before flipping it over to cook similarly.
Remove from heat and place in a covered dish or wrap in aluminum foil to retain the heat. Repeat until you have completed all the discs.
These coconut chapatis can be enjoyed with beef, chicken, or even beans.
What makes the chapati almighty in your home?

I have the car for well over 8 years. Once or twice a year when I try to start the engine nothing happens and it says SAFE on the dashboard. The only solution to this is to remove the positive terminal from the battery for 30 seconds. This is what I get with VCDS immediately after the issue occurred. Any ideas on where the issue is, I think that after 8 years it is time to be fixed.
Removed. Data from a clone/pirate/hacked version of VCDS is not welcome here.

A very busy day in the shop. The sheerstrake rub strips were attached with screws and a coat of varnish instead of glue so they can be easily replaced if damaged. The floorboards are coming along, the stems are being shaped and the breasthooks are almost ready to be glued in place.
Our trailer will be finished next week at which point we will lift the boat onto it. Any remaining work to be done on the boat will be completed with it on the trailer.

This model is a five-seater with longitudinal front engine and four-wheel drive. Among the most similar and outstanding SUVs with respect to the ML 350 of the German firm, there are several such as the Land Rover Discovery, the Mitsubishi Montero or the Nissan Pathfinder.
Motorizations and new features of the Mercedes-Benz ML 350
It is important to know that the first generation of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class went on sale to satisfy the growing demand for SUVs in the United States. Thus, the first SUV of the series went on sale in 1997 with stability control and four series airbags . Interestingly, the Detroit Auto Show chose the model as the most important SUV of the year. With regard to the second and last generation of the Mercedes-Benz ML 350, this incorporated innovative elements such as common-rail direct injection, the existence of four valves per cylinder or the variable geometry turbo-compressor. In the case of gasoline engines, the maximum capacity is 6.2 liters with a power of 510 horsepower. As for diesel engines, these are 4.2 liters maximum and 306 horses. It must be clarified that there are different versions of the Mercedes-Benz ML 350. One of the most innovative in many aspects is the model 350 CDI 4Matic. Regarding the technical data, the displacement is of 2.987 cc. Also, the power of the engine is 224 horses. The traction is integral and the maximum speed reached is 215 km / h. On the efficiency of the Mercedes-Benz SUV, it is interesting to know that its average consumption is 9.2 liters per 100 km / h. The gearbox is of model 7G-Tronic.
To move in Brazil, diesel-powered cars must comply with Portaria 23/94 of the defunct National Fuel Department (DNC), which requires that the vehicle has a load capacity of more than one ton, 4×4 traction and reduction box. The Mercedes-Benz ML 350 CDI with diesel engine does not have this last item, but managed to pass the legislation as a jeep and was homologated to drive here. According to the brand, the guarantee was granted because the model has an electronic system that changes the relations of the exchange, damper and motor for off-road driving, functions similar to the reduction box. The second generation of the German SUV is offered for $ 259,900 and the price and postage of more than two tons, dispute space with other sport utility vehicles such as BMW X5, Audi Q7 , Porsche Cayenne and Range Rover Sport . But to get into this 'big people' fight, the ML 350 bet on two exclusives: silent diesel engine and autonomy. In order to receive Brazilian 'dirty' diesel with high sulfurcontent , the propellant has been adapted, but has kept the low noise of modern European diesel engines – very different from what the domestic market is accustomed to – and surprising fuel economy. The G1 ran about 500 km, for a week, and returned the vehicle to the manufacturer with half a tank of diesel at bmw car cover.
Quick response
Economy was possible even with the V6 block of 244 horsepower and 52.08 kgfm. The propeller, coupled with the seven-speed automatic transmission, responds almost instantaneously to the accelerator treads. Even with 2,185 kg, the jeep goes from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.6 seconds and reaches the top speed of 215 km / h. Anyone who enjoys a sports tour, but does not take the eye off the fuel gauge, can rest easy, because it takes a long time to move.

Series of mimes entertain the occupants

But what about the thunderous noise that comes to shake the cabin? You can also forget. In addition to being a state-of-the-art engine, good sound insulation gives the feeling of being on board a Japanese sedan, a reference in this respect. It's hard to believe we're in a diesel-powered car. To treat the occupants well there are still a series of mimes and electronic paraphernalia, which are already expected in a vehicle that exceeds the barrier of $ 250 thousand. The steering column and the front seats are electrically adjustable, including the lumbar. An LCD screen gathers information on average speed, fuel consumption and even compass, while two other displays are meant to entertain passengers from the back seat. The center console also features all the off-road driving controls, such as the steep descent speed control (DSR), power-off assistance and ABS off-road.

Lack of space for commands
There are so many technological features that the printing is lacking space for the commands. The shift lever, for example, sits on the steering column and is easily mistaken for the windshield wiper, as well as the speed limiter that occupies the position of the arrows. To prevent this from becoming risky, the system does not allow actions that it deems "dangerous." But this is just one detail, among the qualities that make the ML 350 CDI a powerful, economical, spacious and comfortable car. Only lack the price to fit in the pocket …

When Mercedes-Benz launched the first M-Class in 1997, its original intention was to replace the classic G-Class . However, he found a segment of the market, the SUV, which was able to accept all kinds of proposals and niches. The third generation of the ML began to develop in 2006 and had its global presentation in 2011. It took a while to reach Argentina, but since April it is sold with only one version: ML 350 4Matic , with a price of 120 thousand dollars.
With respect to its predecessor, the new M is longer (two centimeters more, up to 4,803 millimeters) and wider (five centimeters more, up to 1,926 mm), but also lower (two centimeters less, up to 1,796 mm). It also increased its wheelbase by three millimeters (now 2,916 mm) and redesigned the passenger compartment to provide more space for the legs of the rear passengers. The ML 350 is sold in Argentina with the spectacular AMG sports package , consisting of front spoiler and chrome-plated rear diffuser, as well as 19-inch AMG wheels , with Continental 225/50 tires . Despite its aesthetics, it has a very good aerodynamic coefficient of only 0.32 .
The German brand always named the ML as "the Mercedes-Benz of the 4 × 4" . And that shows by just passing the threshold of the door. The design, materials and equipment convey a sense of luxury that is even a step above the already quite luxurious Class E ( read review ). The cabin is approved for five passengers and there is plenty of room for them. Back, it is possible to travel with legs crossed. A novelty of this third generation is that the backrest regulates its angle. However, the passenger in the middle will not be so comfortable, because his buttocks will rest on a cushion quite bulky. In addition, it will not have its own multimedia screen: there are two on the back and have a DVD player, in addition to numerous connections for headphones and external devices. The trunk is simply immense. It has 690 liters of capacity. And it can be extended up to 2,010 liters if the rear seats are folded. In addition, it has numerous holes to carry small objects without moving from their place.
It comes standard with seven airbags (including knees for the driver), adaptive brakes with ABS, stability control, traction control and fatigue alert. Driving aids are numerous, but here we will mention three that debuted in this ML: the Pre-Safe system is a new generation. It is the program that detects the imminence of a crash or accident, and prepares the vehicle to suffer an impact. It is quite impressive, because it is activated, for example, if you are having fun in the gravel and you skid the vehicle excessively. Automatically, all the windows are closed, the passenger seat raises the backrest -if it is very reclined- and all the occupants feel in their body that increases the tension of the safety belt. It is to hold the passengers well, but also to warn the driver that the car does not like what he is doing. Last year, an ML 350 4Matic was subjected to crash tests by EuroNCAP . He obtained the maximum rating of five stars, with 96% protection for adults, 75% for children and 60% for pedestrians.
Engine and transmission
If the platform of the new M-Class turned the page of the Daimler-Chrysler alliance, its engine has not yet done so. The M276 that equips the ML 350 shares the same architecture with the Pentastar V6 of several American products. It is a V6 at 60 degrees, instead of the 90 degrees that had the M272 engine. This allowed to reduce the vibrations and to dispense with the axis of balance. It has 3,498 cubic centimeters of displacement and direct injection. It develops 306 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 370 Nm of torque between 3,500 and 5,250 rpm. With respect to the ML 350 4Matic of previous generation, the engine now yields 34 more horses and 20 Nm extra.
The ML is an impressive vehicle, from every point of view. But the image is not close to describing the sensation of handling it. The interior is isolated like a Patagonian vault and the engine is surprisingly smooth. But the first thing that attracts attention is the softness of the direction. It comes with an electromechanical assistance that, when stopped, has a servo that borders on the absurd. The steering wheel can be moved with one finger, without effort. And that was not a metaphor. Without being too soft, the ride is very smooth, typical of Mercedes-Benz. But, a few kilometers later, I felt a certain nostalgia for the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland , which I drove three months ago ( read review ). The new ML arrives in Argentina only with conventional mechanical suspension, while the Overland offers a pneumatic suspension and also costs 31 thousand dollars less. The difference in walking is noticeable. And it has the possibility of varying the clearance of the floor of the body. Mercedes-Benz Argentina should offer the pneumatic system at least in option. Everything indicates that they are reserving it for the ML 63 AMG. The autonomy is guaranteed by a fuel tank that is equivalent to having your own oil well: 93 liters of capacity. The equation to contain the consumption of such a large, heavy and powerful vehicle is in the BlueEficiencytechnology . It is not a technological solution, but the set of many. Some of them are: the differentials with low friction level, the tires with lower rolling resistance and the function on demand of all the auxiliary groups.

Wright finds back of cage for game-winning goal
Scannell tallied his second goal of his career
WINCHENDON, Mass. (January 14, 2017) – The Stonehill College men's ice hockey team defeated Northeast-10 Conference foe Franklin Pierce University, 3-2, Saturday night in the Skyhawks' fourth overtime contest of the season.
Stonehill (5-10-3, 2-3-0 NE10) saw three different goal scorers including Jack Scannell (Medfield, Mass./Proctor Academy), Connor Jewett (Berlin, N.H./NH Junior Monarchs-EHL Premier) and Cameron Wright (West Dummerston, Vt./Springfield Pics-USPHL Premier).
For Franklin Pierce (7-10-1, 2-5-0 NE10), Cameron Shepardson and James Morrrissey picked up the tallies.
The first period remained quiet until the Ravens found the back of the net, as Shepardson sent a slapshot from the right circle to the upper right 90 off passes from Jonathan Haun and Morrissey at 18:39.
Scannell picked up his second goal of the season, as he tied up the game, 1-1, off a hustle play down the ice by Ryan Smith (Arlington, Mass./Tilton School) who corralled the puck behind the net. Smith dished it off to Scannell who sent the one-timer to the back of the cage at 3:55 in the second period.
Early in the third period, the Ravens took the lead once again as Morrissey took a wrist shot from the right circle in a man-advantage opportunity 48 seconds in the frame. The Skyhawks responded 16 minutes later with as Jewett tracked down a rebound connecting for his second goal of season at 16:54.
Heading into overtime, Stonehill held a shot advantage of 31-19 against the Ravens before Wright snapped a shot from the left circle, which flew past Franklin Pierce's goaltender for the game winner 1:07 into overtime.

Who Got to Dority?
If the leaders of the Republican Party took the same approach to the AG race that they took in the race for State Auditor, I understand why Roy Cooper is unopposed. The first official reaction to my filing to run for State Auditor was a phone call from a Republican party officer, acting on a request from "someone farther up the political food chain," asking me to drop out of that race.
Why would anyone in the leadership of the NC Republican Party want the Auditor candidate with the best chance to win in the fall to drop out? I'm sure those responsible, if asked, will claim they acted for the good of the Party, but after the Party's failure to field an opponent for Roy Cooper, that just doesn't wash. Had I dropped out, that would have left three people in the race, two non-CPAs and a CPA who had help hiding his ties to Larry Leake and Roy Cooper. (And that's another much bigger story.)
There was, of course, a carrot. I could run for Treasurer and they would get the only announced candidate in that race to drop out, since he didn't really want to run, and I would have a "free ride" through the primary and the help of the Party in November. That conversation is why I had no trouble believing Greg Dority's claim that he was running for Auditor because he was asked to drop out of the race for Secretary of State and encouraged to run for Auditor. Unlike Dority, I didn't take the bait.
Perhaps I should not have endorsed anyone in the expected runoff for State Auditor, but there were only three possibilities for Auditor for the next four years when Greg Dority asked for my endorsement. I certainly didn't intend to endorse the incumbent Democrat. Goldman (and some of her supporters) had convinced me she did not need to be auditor. Dority had at least done a little auditing and obviously had strong support from those who knew him best, the people in his area, plus he sounded sincere when he talked about his desire to clean up state government.
When Dority asked for my endorsement, he was enthusiastic about running against Goldman. When I spoke to him last night, he said he was leaning against it because he wasn't confident he could win. I told him that if he didn't file for a runoff, there was a 100% chance Goldman or Woods would be our next auditor and asked who got to him since he had previously been so opposed to either possibility.
He denied any pressure or promises and said unnamed consultants advised he should not run if he didn't have X dollars, but he would not give their names or state an amount. He said he had been trying to raise money and was going to keep trying to raise the money needed to win right up to the deadline for filing a runoff request, but he was not believable. He never asked for money or asked me to help him raise money. Given the complete change in attitude since his original request for an endorsement, something had obviously happened. Influential people had obviously found a way to influence him.
After reading the interview he gave the Washington Daily News yesterday afternoon, I have no doubt something happened since I now know for a fact he was lying to me last night. I told him last night, if he wasn't serious about running for auditor, he should never have gotten in the race in the first place and if he refuses to file for a runoff, he needs to get out of politics and stay out.
And why do I so strongly believe someone got to Greg Dority, despite his song and dance about raising money and helping the Party? Because what he says now is completely at odds with what he said prior to my endorsement, and because the very day I filed to run for Auditor, I was asked to drop out of the Auditor race. Since Dority did his about face when Goldman and Woods were the only other options, I have to think those who wanted me out of the race wanted one of them to be the next Auditor and I sure do wonder why.
But make no mistake, taking orders from on high and ignoring those who supported him actually enhances Dority's electability as Arthur Williams so amazingly demonstrates. Unless Dority has a belated attack of conscience or is driven from the party by those who don't tolerate dishonesty (or those happy to encourage it if they can hide their hand), he will remain and continue to work with those who can apparently tell him when to run and when not to run. I made the mistake of trusting him. I'm writing this not just to explain my error, but to warn others.
Once upon a time, supporting Republicans in NC was akin to supporting honesty. The Democrats had a monopoly on power at the state level, so there wasn't enough money in Republican politics to make corruption profitable. Now, people need to forget Democrat and Republican and look for the Greenback Party label. It is usually hidden, but you can spot it if you watch for personal dishonesty and a willingness to hide facts for the benefit of the Powers that Be.

There is a multitude of issues that drive a cross-border business transaction. Sale of shares versus sale of assets; statutory mergers; joint ventures; security for enforcement of representations and warranties; governing law and venue; earn-outs and holdbacks; restrictions on foreign ownership; due diligence; local customs; privacy and many other. Most non-tax considerations are not country specific. They are driven by the economics of the deal and the negotiating position of the parties. When a transaction touches the U.S., tax has the center-stage.
From a U.S. standpoint, none of the other issues are as important as the tax consequences. Taxation of an M&A transaction will very often determine the deal structure. The parties can negotiate and agree to all the other terms, but tax will determine how the transaction is structured, what is possible and what is not.
For U.S. tax purposes, cross-border transactions are divided into two classes: inbound (foreigners doing business or investing in the U.S.), and outbound (Americans doing business and investing overseas). The tax rules that apply to inbound and outbound transactions are entirely different. We will examine both, and will then delve into the related subjects of pre-immigration tax planning (foreigners immigrating to the U.S.) and expatriation (Americans emigrating from the U.S.).

The Rules of Professional Conduct created by the American Bar Association are "the gold standard" when making decisions about legal ethics and best practice. These rules have been adapted by most state bars for the benefit of their members. In addition, the Rules are a standard authority across the U.S. during attorney disciplinary hearings and fee dispute arbitrations. In this MLCEZ course, David Graulich, Esq. provides a closer look at the ABA Rules that pertain to the attorney-client relationship. What is the division of authority between the client and the attorney? How does an ethical attorney avoid the appearance "or reality -- of conflict of interest" Can an attorney ethically agree to represent a client in an unfamiliar area of law? Can an attorney loan money to a client? Graulich illustrates the rules with real-life examples as well as working through hypothetical ethical questions that typically arise in private practice.
Mr. Graulich worked over 20 years in journalism and the public relations industry. He represented companies such as PepsiCo, Schwab and Computer Sciences Corp., advising senior executives on communications policies. Mr. Graulich received his law degree at the University of the Pacific - McGeorge School of Law. Mr. Graulich is currently working in private practice and resides in Sacramento, California.

This class is the second in a special MCLEZ series on The Rules of Professional Conduct. The Rules, written by the American Bar Association, are "the gold standard" when making critical decisions about ethics, compliance and best practice. The ABA Rules have been adapted by most state bars for the benefit and guidance of their members. In addition, the Rules are an authority across the U.S. during attorney disciplinary hearings and fee dispute arbitrations. In this class, David Graulich, Esq. examines Rule II (Counselor) and Rule III (Advocate). Among the topics covered: ethical guidelines when a lawyer serves as third-party neutral; standards for candor towards the tribunal; fairness to opposing party and opposing counsel; expediting litigation and avoiding delay, and trial publicity. Graulich illustrates the ABA rules with citations from actual cases as well as personal anecdotes from his experiences as a plaintiff's employment lawyer in Northern California.
This course is a companion to David Graulich's previous MCLEZ class, FIVE FUNDAMENTALS OF FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT LAW. The issues in this class are drawn from emerging controversies and court decisions in 2016 and 2017. Graulich examines the alarming erosion of privacy in the workplace and how the intrusion into employees? emails and files by employers has become routine. The course will cover the proliferation of local employment laws, enacted by cities and counties, that often contradict or conflict with federal workplace laws. The rise of "the gig economy," with companies such as Uber and Lyft, has created new controversy around the question "what is an employee." Graulich will also discuss how the rise of compulsory arbitration is replacing the jury trial as a venue for resolution of employment cases.
There is a saying that everyone in America will ultimately be a target of age bias, as the passage of time doesn't discriminate. We all get old. However, as plaintiff's attorney David Graulich explains in this class, U.S. laws that were intended to protect employees and job applicants from age discrimination have become ineffectual and weak. Technological and demographic change have far outpaced the primary Federal law, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), which first became law in the 1960's. Today algorithms, micro-marketing and data mining can ferret out who is "old" without even requiring human interaction. As Graulich points out, a regrettable decision by the United States Supreme Court has also made it difficult for plaintiffs to win in a lawsuit predicated on age discrimination. Graulich lays out his recommendations for how to overhaul and strengthen our legal framework, so that civil actions grounded in age bias will once again be a genuine deterrent for employers who discriminate against older people.
For the past several years asset protection has been one of the fastest growing areas of law. It is also one of the most controversial - the goal of asset protection is to shield assets from the reach of creditors. Asset protection should simply be about structuring the ownership of one's assets to safeguard them from potential future risks. Most asset protection structures are commonly used business and estate planning tools, such as limited liability companies, family limited partnerships, trusts and the like. Properly implemented asset protection planning should be legal and ethical. It should not be based on hiding assets or on secrecy. It is not a means or an excuse to avoid or evade U. S. taxes. There is no one
'magic bullet' in asset protection. The term 'asset protection' encompasses a number of planning and structuring mechanisms that may be implemented by a practitioner to minimize a client?s exposure to risk. For each client the asset protection solution will be different, depending on (i) the identity of the debtor; (ii) the nature of the claim; (iii) the identity of the creditor; and (iv) the nature of the assets. These are four threshold factors that are either expressly or implicitly analyzed in each asset protection case. The analysis of these four factors determines what planning would be possible and effective for a specific client.
In this program patent attorney Steven A. Nielsen discusses the evolution of awareness of the general subject matter of competence as it relates to substance abuse (including new legal medical cannabis), stress, age, dementia and other factors and their relationship to the practice of law. The maxim that "the law is a jealous mistress" can be true if attorneys fail to take a big picture view of the factors at work which can cause physical and mental harm and distract lawyers from enjoyment of their lives and the need to pay attention to their physical and mental health.
This program addresses both the need for awareness of substance abuse, depression,
mental illness, age, cognitive decline and related issues, plus practical, easy to implement
steps to facilitate an enjoyable and effective practice.
You've probably heard that "Conflicts of Interests" are bad and that nonprofit boards need to avoid conflicts of interests. But, what exactly is a "conflict of interest", and what should you do if your nonprofit has a "conflict of interest?
Conflicts of interest are not necessarily bad. The important thing is being able to identify conflicts of interest and knowing how to manage conflicts of interests when they arise.
This course on "Dealing with Conflicts of Interests" will define what a "conflict of interest" is; Give specific examples of common types of conflicts of interests that arise for nonprofits; Explain the law on conflicts of interest as it applies to nonprofits; Discuss strategies on how to manage conflicts of interests.

Join the Wikimedia Foundation and guest speakers for a discussion on how the third-party doctrine affects law enforcement, technology company practices, and data privacy expectations as the Supreme Court prepares to rule on Carpenter v. United States. In this case, the Court will consider whether the Fourth Amendment requires law enforcement to obtain a search warrant before accessing historical cell phone location records.
Legal issues arise in many areas when it comes to collectibles, and one of the hottest and most contentious areas involves record collections (from 78s to digital), and related music memorabilia.
Accredited Senior Appraiser and member of the American Society of Appraisers who specializes in this area, Stephen M.H. Braitman has been involved in a myriad of cases which have required his services. In addition to his role as an expert witness in litigation, practice areas in which his expertise has been utilized include Family Law, Estate Planning and Insurance issues, evaluations for credible Fair Market Value, Replacement Value, and Liquidation value appraisals of contested property.
In this program Mr. Braitman reviews the role of the appraiser and the process for certification as an appraiser. Specific issues include: The potential of a music collection, what to look for in "hidden assets" that may be significant, what issues arise between collectors (and?everyone else!) , some contentious records and memorabilia, the need for accurate appraisals and how an undervalued appraisal can affect both the financial and legal outcome of a family or institution, the current market in music records and memorabilia collectibles, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, credentialing of the appraiser, the appraisal process, issues in divorce, property settlements and estates, how to overcome the lack of value-knowledge of an insurance adjuster, appraised value as leverage or as collateral, satisfying I.R.S. donation requirements, auctions, and an in depth review of specific types of records and music memorabilia and their current and future value.
If your firm represents libraries, archives, insurance agencies, or executors for estates, or is involved in family law, this program is a unique and valuable resource. Moreover, the cases in which Mr. Braitman has been personally involved, such as the Michael Jackson property at Neverland Ranch, the Elton John record collection, and donations to the Library of Congress and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, make this program a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at a wide variety of legal issues related to music, such as
Another day, another data breach. Data breaches have proliferated with amazing speed. Don't be lulled into thinking that law firms (large and small) aren't being attacked by hackers or suffering actual data breaches. With lawyers and law firms, however, who are constantly entrusted with highly sensitive information about their clients as a course of business, the need for effective data security is of even more critical importance. This course helps lawyers and law firms of today ensure that their clients' confidential data and intellectual property are secure.
Over the past decade, a number of well-publicized data leaks have revealed the secret offshore holdings of high-net-worth individuals and multinational taxpayers, leading to a sea change in cross-border tax enforcement. Spurred by leaked data, tax authorities have prosecuted offshore tax cheats, attempted to recoup lost revenues, enacted new laws, and signed international agreements that promote "sunshine" and exchange of financial information between countries.
The conventional wisdom is that data leaks enable tax authorities to detect and punish offshore tax evasion more effectively, and that leaks are therefore socially and economically beneficial. This Article argues, however, that the conventional wisdom is too simplistic. In addition to its clear benefits, leak-driven lawmaking carries distinctive risks, including the risk of agenda setting by third parties with specific interests and the risk associated with leaks' capacity to trigger non-rational responses. Even where leak-driven lawmaking is beneficial overall, it is important to appreciate its distinctive downside risks, in order to best design policy responses.
This Article is the first to thoroughly examine both the important beneficial effects of tax leaks, and their risks. It provides suggestions and cautions for making and enforcing tax law, after a leak, in order to best tap into the benefits of leaks while managing their pitfalls.
This presentation by Rachel L. Hulkower from CDC will address the legal principles framing the collection, use, and release of health data for public health activities, including issues such as privacy, confidentiality, HIPAA, and data use agreements.

NOTE: Post Updated February 2019
Does Captain America look strange to you? He should. Because that's not him. It's a poorly redesigned costume worn by an imposter. In #114 Human Torch meets a Cap look-a-like, and the issue ends with this strange reader poll in the last panel of the issue…
Cap would indeed return, in just a few short months. Stan Lee would often invite readers to participate in the creation of comics, but he usually did it on the letters pages or on an editorial page. Whenever he would do this, it would really make feel like they were a part of Marvel–it helped him develop an avid fanbase, which was important when you understand that DC had been the preeminent superhero publisher for decades. They owned Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman…And all of Marvel's heroes were new and unknown.
Plantman is introduced in issue #113, and he's a strange choice of villain for Human Torch. Wood is flammable.
As for Doctor Strange, he appears in #114, but no stories in #112 or #113.
Creators: Stan Lee, Joe Carter, Dick Ayers
First appearances: Plantman (#113)
Grade: C+ (for the curiosity factor)

Renault took the wraps off a new autonomous vehicle that targets last-mile deliveries as competition for this exploding market continues to draw big interest and investment.
In the case of France's Renault, the service would revolve around EZ-Pro, an electric self-driving pod that is designed to reach homes and businesses while reducing impact on traffic and urban congestion.
"Renault EZ-Pro shows our vision of last-mile delivery integrated with the ecosystem of smart cities of tomorrow and the needs of professionals," said Ashwani Gupta, senior vice president for light commercial vehicles for Alliance, a partnership that includes Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi.
Renault is rolling out the concept this week at the Hannover Motor Show, which is focused this year on commercial trucking.
In the case of EZ-Pro, the vehicles are a series of driverless robo-pods that are modular and can be adapted to deliver different configurations of cargo. There would still be a human on board some vehicles, but their role would be simply to manage delivery and oversee the pods.
One human could supervise several other pods at the same time, eliminating the need for a person on each vehicle. Renault imagines the pods traveling either as a fleet in a platoon, or independently. In either case, all the pods are connected via a centralized platform, allowing them to make deliveries for one or multiple clients.
Renault also hopes the system will make it easier for customers to schedule delivery, either to their homes or via lockers that they can open with a smartphone app.
The latest vehicle follows Renault's previous announcement of EZ-Go, its electric self-driving vehicle for people.
The company did not announce a timeline for when EZ-Pro would be commercially available.
