Many people think that having an estate plan is just for the rich – this could not be further from the truth. A majority of us have at least one of these three substantial assets: a car, a home, or money in a bank account. And many people can benefit from working with a trusted attorney for wills and trusts to establish an estate plan.
An estate plan can help maximize the value of your assets; these assets are what you will pass on to your beneficiaries and heirs (disabled loved ones, elderly parents, children, etc.) when the inevitable comes. Aside from this, an estate plan also allows you to make informed decisions and better understand the process while you are still alive.
In today's post, let's talk about the common pitfalls to avoid when it comes to creating an estate plan.
Not creating an estate plan at all.
This is the most common and biggest estate planning mistake you'll ever make. Like what we've mentioned, death is inevitable. However, thoughtful and logical planning for what may take place after your death is one of the most vital things you can do. This will ensure that all your personal and financial affairs will be adequately taken care of after you pass.
Not keeping your will up-to-date.
Changes are unavoidable; they can take place within a business or family structure. Deaths, divorces, births, new acquisitions – these are just some of the changes that can happen in your life and should also reflect on your will. This will guarantee that the assets you will leave behind are distributed the way you intended, Periodically updating your will when any changes happen in your life is a good step.
Not planning for any disability or ailments.
A long-term ailment or disability will result in significant consequences that will affect your personal and financial concerns. If you ever suffer from a disability or ailment, decisions such as who will raise your children, who will manage your finances, or make healthcare-related choices for you are of vital importance. Thus, it may be essential to initiate a living trust or appoint a power of attorney. Consult an attorney for wills and trusts so you can get the proper legal guidance you need.
Not reducing your estate tax.
An extremely common mistake when it comes to estate planning is to overlooking to make gifts under your estate plan to lessen the taxes on your estate. The Internal Revenue Code allows gifts amounting up to $14,000 a year to your spouse may be deducted from the estate tax. Gifts made to groups, business, or other individuals are subject to an estate tax savings of $28,000. This will let you leave a more significant amount to your heirs or beneficiaries, as well as allow you to leave a positive impact on a person or cause you would like to support.
Including your children's name on the deed.
When you include your children's name on your home's deed, you are practically giving them a massively sized taxable gift. Like we mentioned above, gifts amounting to a maximum of $14,000 are not included in the estate tax; however, gifts over that amount are taxable. What you can do is to pass on the value or home through inheritance and include that in your estate plan.
Picking the wrong individual to manage your estate.
In some cases, the individual you think is best suited to be the executor of your estate turns out to be a bad fit. For example, you may have appointed your spouse or one your children to handle your estate affairs when you have passed – not knowing that there may be another individual who is not as emotionally invested to objectively execute the duties of an executor, guardian, or trustee.
Not moving your life insurance policies to a trust.
As you know, a life insurance policy is heavily taxable. When you die, most of the proceeds of your life insurance policies will have to go to the IRS rather than to your heirs or beneficiaries. You can avoid this pitfall by consulting with an attorney for wills and trusts and setting up a life insurance trust. This type of trust can act as the holder of your life insurance policies. By doing so, you can prevent substantial estate taxes to be put on your insurance funds; you can also spare your heirs and beneficiaries any hardship or additional stress in expecting for a pay-out of the insurance funds, which can take several months.

SEOUL, Oct. 22 (Korea Bizwire) — Hyundai Motor Group will morph into a future mobility solutions provider as many carmakers are expected to disappear amid oversupply and rapidly changing appetites for vehicles, the group's heir apparent said Tuesday.
In a town hall meeting with 1,200 executives and employees at the group's headquarters in southern Seoul, Hyundai Motor Group Executive Vice Chairman Chung Eui-sun said the group will remain an automobile manufacturer but will focus on becoming a future mobility solutions provider in addition.
"Carmakers are competing in oversupplied global markets and many of them will disappear over time. In the future, traditional vehicles are likely to account for 50 percent (of the market), with private air vehicles and robotics taking up 30 percent and 20 percent, respectively," he said.
He estimated there is an oversupply of about 25 million vehicles across the world.
To cope with rapid changes in the automobile industry, the group's core affiliates such as Hyundai Motor Co., Kia Motors Corp. and parts maker Hyundai Mobis Co. will help the group emerge as future mobility services company, Chung said.
The executive also held town hall meetings with employees in March and May.
Last month, Hyundai Motor appointed an aeronautics expert, 61-year-old Shin Jai-won, as executive vice president and head of its newly established urban air mobility division.
He formerly served at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Hyundai expects his expertise in revolutionary airframes, engines, aviation safety and air traffic management technologies to help the company take a lead in the fast-growing urban air mobility sector.
The new business unit will develop core technologies and innovative solutions for safe and efficient airborne travel.

Guide on Measuring Human Capital
The idea of viewing individuals' knowledge and abilities as an asset—as human capital—can be traced back to the work of Adam Smith in the 18th century. But human capital is intangible, and hence hard to define and measure. Increasingly, however, policymakers are calling for ways to understand and quantify human capital, in order to better understand what drives economic growth and the functioning of labour markets, to assess the long-term sustainability of a country's development path, and to measure the output and productivity performance of the educational sector. Devising a robust methodology for the monetary valuation of the stock of human capital is especially important as studies suggest that human capital is by far the most important component of the total capital stock in most advanced economies. This Guide on Measuring Human Capital discusses conceptual, methodological and implementation issues and challenges. The recommendations are a first attempt to come up with a way to estimate and record the role of human capital in a way that is aligned with the principles of the national accounts and that is comparable across economies.

First Ever Noninvasive Laser Vision Correction Procedures Performed
PR Newswire
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 25, 2018
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Leveraging technology developed at the University of Rochester that was recently recognized with a Nobel Prize, Clerio Vision, Inc. is commercializing LIRIC—a novel, noninvasive method to correct human vision. The core technology has been in development for more than 15 years and has now entered clinical trials.
"We are excited to announce that we have now treated the first five partially-sighted subjects in our First-in-Human study," stated J. Mikael Totterman, CEO of Clerio Vision. The purpose of this study is to confirm safety as well as demonstrate the ability to correct the optics of the eye in a nonsurgical fashion.
The procedure is based on ultrafast laser technology which was originally developed at the University of Rochester by Gerard Mourou, PhD, and Donna Strickland, PhD, who recently received the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics. Capitalizing on the ultrafast techniques, Wayne Knox, PhD, an early colleague of Dr. Mourou, refined the novel femtosecond techniques for noninvasive ophthalmic applications. In extensive preclinical studies, these femtosecond lasers were optimized to change the refractive index of corneal tissue. The refractive index modifications can be used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and even presbyopia. Presbyopia is the age-related, degradation of vision that occurs for most people between the ages of 40 and 50 years.
More than 200 million people in the United States and more than 2 billion people worldwide require some form of vision correction. Globally, only about 28 million or about 1.4% of people have chosen LASIK, a form of laser vision correction. The most common obstacle to a greater adoption of laser vision correction is the fear on the part of the patients regarding the surgical nature of the current LASIK procedures despite its proven efficacy.
"In addition to being able to offer a noninvasive vision correction alternative to patients concerned about surgery, we are optimistic that LIRIC may offer an improved safety profile for a procedure that already has excellent outcomes," stated Scott MacRae, MD, an international leader in LASIK innovation at the University of Rochester's Flaum Eye Institute. He was the first refractive surgeon to perform the laser induced refractive index change procedure (LIRIC).
Jeffery J. Machat, MD, one of the early pioneers of LASIK and the original cofounder of TLC Laser Eye Centers, also served as a treating refractive surgeon. Dr. Machat noted, "Not since the advent of excimer laser have I been this excited about a new laser vision correction technology. I absolutely believe that the LIRIC procedure can revolutionize ophthalmology and the way we treat prescriptions without any pain or weakening of the eye. It was an honor to be a part of the original team that performed these inaugural procedures and be a part of history."
Clerio's first-in-human clinical trial is being conducted at Grupo Oftalmo & Plástico, a highly experienced clinic with First-in-Human studies for next generation ophthalmic products. The full team of refractive surgeons in the First-in-Human study also includes Drs. Gabriel Quesada, Rodrigo Quesada, Kevin Waltz, and John Vukich. Drs. Quesada, Quesada, Waltz, and Vukich lead a complete group in San Salvador, El Salvador providing fully compliant, world-class ophthalmic research services and built a custom made OR within their pre-existing facility to support the requirements of advanced femto clinical research.
In addition to developing LIRIC as a method to correct optical errors directly in human corneas, Clerio is currently conducting clinical trials of new contact lens designs using LIRIC technology as well as further refining the technology for intraocular lens applications.
About Clerio Vision, Inc.
Clerio Vision is developing a revolutionary product platform for the global ophthalmic market, based on technology licensed from the University of Rochester. The company is in the process of developing and commercializing a portfolio of next generation products in contact lenses, refractive as well as cataract surgery. The contact lens and refractive surgery product lines are currently in clinical development. The company has raised approximately $18 million in financing from Stonehenge Growth Equity, Armory Square Ventures, prominent angel investors as well as the National Science Foundation. The team is composed of serial entrepreneurs with multiple exits as well as ophthalmic industry veterans who pioneered a number of new ophthalmic technology categories.
About University of Rochester
The University of Rochester, which includes the University of Rochester Medical Center, is one of the nation's top-tier research institutions. The Medical Center is home to approximately 3,000 individuals who conduct research across many centers, institutes and labs. Scientists have developed therapies that improve human health across the globe.
Researchers work closely with URVentures, the University of Rochester's technology transfer group, to develop and license innovations and intellectual property to startups and industry partners. The University of Rochester holds a small equity stake in Clerio Vision and has the potential for a future royalty stream if the technology is commercially successful.

Stop Mirbeau/Hummel Development sign now
To: The City of Lake Geneva City Council and Plan Commission
I/we, the undersigned resident(s) of the City of Lake Geneva and/or neighboring communities, strongly oppose the Hummel / Mirbeau development proposed for the approximately 710 acre parcel adjacent to Big Foot Beach State Park and along the Southern corridor to the City.
We are opposed to a development of this massive size (100 guest room inn, 12 villas, 57 single-family cottages, spa, restaurant, retail stores, banquet and conference facilities, parking spaces, plus a winery with restaurant, retail and parking; in addition to 825 residences) and believe it will overwhelm the City. We feel strongly that: any substantial development of this ecologically fragile area -- which includes sensitive wetlands and areas of the Buttons Creek Watershed, a watershed which provides more than 10\% of the surface run-off into Geneva Lake -- will result in irreversible damage and loss; such development will destroy the historic character and small town nature of the Lake Geneva area as well as its green corridor from the South; and that City of Lake Geneva and Linn residents will suffer a dramatic decrease in quality of life due to traffic congestion; noise, light, and air pollution; destruction of plant and animal life; and infrastructure overload. We also fully expect that the guests of the inn and spa and the residents of the development will demand boating and beach access, further straining our most precious natural and economic resource.
We respectfully request that Hummel / Mirbeau withdraw its proposal for the development; that the City Council and Plan Commission reject the planned unit development proposal, or any re-zoning proposal, for this development; and that the City revisit the so-called South Neighborhood Plan to prevent any large-scale development of this property in the future, to better protect the integrity of the City, and to maintain open and green space to benefit our precious Lake and the surrounding resort communities.

Flanagan primed for Magdaleno
Danny Winterbottom
08/10/2015 8:39am
This Saturday night at Manchester Arena, 26-year-old Terry Flanagan makes the first defence of his WBO lightweight title against dangerous American Diego Magdaleno in a contest that promises to reveal the true potential that lies within the gloved fists of the Mancunian southpaw.
Flanagan, unbeaten in 28 fights, has arguably already achieved more than he could have ever dreamed of when he turned pro under the guidance of small hall promoter Steve Wood in 2009 without the fanfare often associated with unbeaten fighters.
Wood, who still acts as Flanagan's manager, expertly guided his southpaw charge to an English title victory over Troy James at Bowlers Exhibition Centre before landing his man a spot in the Lightweight Prizefighter tournament in 2012, a move that propelled the small hall star on to TV.
In a strong field that consisted of Anthony Crolla, Derry Mathews and Gary Sykes, it was Flanagan who emerged victorious and his career has gone from strength to strength since under the adroit stewardship of promoter Frank Warren, culminating in his WBO title victory over Jose Zepeda in July.
Zepeda brought a fearsome reputation across the pond, having knocked out 20 opponents in 23 wins without tasting defeat. BM had watched Flanagan work out at the Ancoats Lads Club in the week leading up to the fight and, whilst he was his usual calm and confident self, it was apparent that this fight was bigger than anything he had experienced before.
Film crews from the BBC mingled with acquaintances of Flanagan and members of the media in the cramped gym tucked away in the corner of an industrial estate in the heartland of Manchester's commercial sector, once dubbed 'Cottonopolis', as the fighter and his trainer Steve Maylett went through their pad routine with all the grace and poise of a dance duo.
The American puncher was apparently looking great in sparring, too, at Anthony Farnell's gym in Failsworth across the city, and a battle of puncher vs boxer was highly anticipated when the first bell rang at the Velodrome.
However, after a cagey six minutes, Zepeda was pulled out of the contest on advice from the ringside physician with a suspected, and later confirmed, dislocated shoulder. A less than satisfactory way to win a world title but a victory nonetheless; however, Flanagan's place amongst the best 135lbs fighters is still to be cemented in the eyes of some critics.
"We trained hard for that fight and at the end of the day it was Zepeda's body that gave way, he couldn't stand up to it. He came with a reputation as a massive puncher, but I didn't feel any of his shots," said Flanagan, when speaking to Boxing Monthly this week. "Hopefully, this time I will get some more rounds in and the fans can enjoy their night out."
Liverpudlian Derry Mathews, the interim WBA titlist and Frank Warren promotional stable-mate, was expected to be announced as Flanagan's first defence but the World Boxing Organisation was forceful in its demands that the new champion should make a mandatory defence against Magdaleno who brings a new set of problems for the Mancunian to solve in the ring.
"I thought it was going to be Derry, too," admitted Flanagan. "But I've got Magdaleno and I'm fully focused on winning this fight. I've seen tapes of him and he looks like a good fighter, short and strong. But we know what to expect from him.
"He's fought outside of America once and he lost [SD12 Roman Martinez, in a WBO 130lbs title tilt at the Cotai Arena, Macao]. It's going to be a tough fight for us both, but one that I'm confident of winning and winning well. I don't know why but I feel as though I'm going stop him late in the fight."
Back in 2005, Flanagan famously sneaked into the Manchester Arena to watch his idol Ricky Hatton beat Kostya Tzsyu and, after realising his dream of winning the British title at the same arena in 2014 when he forced Martin Gethin to retire, he is determined to hold on to his belt before targeting huge fights domestically and in the US.
"All I ever wanted to do when I turned pro was to win the British title and I did that in Manchester," Flanagan told BM. "Hopefully, I can put on a good show for the fans and then have a couple of voluntary defences against the likes of Derry [Mathews] and Kevin Mitchell, people like that."
But Flanagan is dreaming bigger….
"If [Anthony] Crolla comes through against [Darleys] Perez and wins the WBA title we could have a unification fight. That would be massive for Manchester. We went to the same school [St. Joseph's RC High in Moston] and grew up in the same area.
"I would love to one day fight in America, too," said Flanagan. "I would have gone over to fight Magdaleno over there, no problem, but Frank got the fight here so I'll have to wait for my chance."
Flanagan may not be the most glamorous or outspoken 135lbs fighter in the world, but there is an inherent toughness about the man who grow up in an area of Manchester that has spawned the likes of Denton Vassell and Michael Brodie, the tremendous super-bantam/feather from the late 1990s/early 2000s who was so desperately unlucky in his world title contests.
It is this natural steel, coupled with southpaw skills and a high punch output, that will make Flanagan a difficult proposition for anyone at the weight to overcome.
"Preparations have gone great," Flanagan told BM. "We did lots of southpaw work leading up to the Zepeda fight because we knew he was going to come out left-handed so we have just continued that work throughout this camp. I will do what I do on the night and I've no doubts that I will still be world champion."

Keith Urban 'Learning a New Vocabulary': Baby Talk
The surprise guest at the CMA Fest says having a baby means learning new words
Fans are showering dad-to-be Keith Urban with gifts – not that he knows what all of them are.
"We got a tie-dyed jumpsuit thing that we really like," he said backstage at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, where he was a surprise performer Friday night at LP Field.
When reporters told him it was likely a "onesie," Urban, who's expecting his first child this summer with wife Nicole Kidman, looked puzzled and asked, "A what?"
Sheepishly repeating the new word, he said, "I'm learning a new vocabulary. We also got a tiny T-shirt that says 'I crawl the line' that we like a lot."
Urban was the last act of the night, taking the stage after Faith Hill and after an introduction from hosts Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler, who promised the crowd: "He's very goodlooking, ladies."
Urban took the stage in a black T-shirt and jeans, opening with "Days Go By" and immediately going into his next song, "Better Life," before thanking the crowd.
"I want to say a huge thank you to everybody that has coughed up the most outrageous amount of money per gallon to get gas to come to this festival this year," he said. "We're gonna give you a show worth seven bucks a gallon, so you're making three bucks right there."
At one point he took off his guitar, autographed it and handed it to a lucky fan while walking through the screaming audience.
"My kinda crowd right there," he said.
On the hot night in Nashville (temperatures were in the 90s), Nicole Kidman remained out of sight, but not out of Urban's mind.
Backstage, the singer told reporters, "I love having her with me when I tour, but at the same time, it's work. You don't want to ask too much of your family." And as for bringing baby on the road, he said: "We'll just have to see what works for us."

Derren Brown: Is America Ready for 'Sacrifice'?
Some of you may know Derren Brown as the magician who convinced people to commit murder. Though the stunt in his Netflix special The Push was merely a psychological study that sought to investigate the human mind, the reaction was so great that some viewers demanded the contestants be arrested for attempted murder.
For those that haven't witnessed the master illusionist at play, here's a recap of Brown's greatest hits: He's performed countless stage shows spanning over two decades, opened a virtual reality theme park ride, played Russian roulette with a loaded handgun on live television, predicted the U.K. lottery, and hypnotized an unsuspecting member of the public to assassinate Stephen Fry. (Fry survived.)
Unlike many of his peers, Brown has never pretended to possess any supernatural abilities. In fact, many of his acts are designed to expose the people who do. Instead, the self-styled psychological mentalist—"basically means a magician that uses mind reading" Brown tells Newsweek—pulls off his tricks and experiments using the power of suggestion, misdirection, psychology and showmanship. Brown is a former-Christian, who famously subjected himself to gay conversion therapy (spoiler: it didn't work). The level of complexity in his shows and the range of jaw-dropping stunts across his 18-year career is exactly why he's long been a household name in the U.K.
In recent months, the Britain native has been hard at work breaking into America with a series of televised specials. Sacrifice, out on Friday, is his latest social experiment that explores the power of the mind while testing human compliance. In the 50-minute show, Brown sets out to radically transform one man's prejudices using covert psychological techniques. The endgame: convincing him to sacrifice his life for a stranger he normally wouldn't identify with.

Congratulations on Sacrifice! In the show you talk about these "aggressively divided times" that we live in "when we so readily define ourselves through our tribal identities."
Yeah, I think nowadays, more than ever, we're moving to the edges in terms of what we believe and what we feel strongly about. We have our own filter bubbles that we live in; our social media feeds with like-minded people just reinforcing the seemingly obvious truth of what it is that we believe.
I'm so caught up in the gray areas of things that I have always found it hard relating to those strong opinions, let alone the aggressive ones. So that's what the show is about. I think the important point of humanity happens in the dialogue between sides and at the moment the climate is such that there's a lot of hostility between sides and not much meet in the middle.

Do you think political party leaders are manipulating voters like you manipulate your subjects?
It's all stories, isn't it? It's constantly a narrative and we're so susceptible to adapting to other people's narratives and politicians are part of that.
It would be lovely to be in a world where politicians were like: "Well this is a very complex situation and there are various options; we could try this, this would lead to that and it might be difficult, so we're just going to try and do our best with some compassion." But of course, that's not how it works.
Your work has always been unconventional, even within the realm of magic. How would you describe what you do?
When I started, the technical word is mentalist. It basically means a magician that uses mind reading. But as I grew up, the "hey look at me I'm so clever" bit became less appealing and interesting. I figured that putting real people through real situations, challenges and conflicts would make for much better drama and I would take a behind-the-scenes role.
But the stage shows that I do… I honestly don't know really what you'd call it. There's a point when Ghost Train [a virtual reality theme park ride in Thorpe Park] came out around the same time I had a book on happiness which is drawing from Greek philosophy, I don't really know what the word is that incorporates all of those, but I like the fact that it's not just one thing because it seems to give me license to move into different areas. It joins a love of the mind and the psychological journey that's holding it all together.
Why did you want to be a magician and mentalist?
For a long time, I couldn't just sit and have a conversation with people at a table without showing them a trick. I thought you just had to impress, it was about impressing, which of course is what you do if you don't feel very impressive. Magic is a very efficient road to doing that, it's the quickest, most fraudulent route to impressing people. I just needed that for a bit.
What was the first ever magic trick you learned?
I remember a guy at school, Timothy Newey, had a card trick that he did. It was [former British Prime Minister] Winston Churchill's favorite card trick, but I don't know where he learnt it. Basically you give the deck to someone and have them shuffle it up and they deal them out into two piles face down. They then separated the reds from the blacks without knowing how they'd done it. You don't touch the cards yourself. It was an amazing trick and it just infuriated me. I made him tell me.
As with any magician and mentalist, I'm sure you've had a few tricks or experiments that have gone wrong.
For one of the shows I did, I think it was Infamous, embedded in it all the way through was a running joke about trying to guess somebody's mobile phone number that they're thinking of in the audience. And then at the very end of the show, I'm doing all these lightening calculations and we ended up with this huge total written on the blackboard, which in the final moment turns out to be the person's phone number.
I remember one night just getting it so wrong. It wasn't even just one number out, it was completely wrong. I'm sweating just thinking about it now. I just said, "Oh I'm sorry.… Well, have a good night!" And as I said good night, that was the cue for all the streamers to go off. They all exploded. The audiences were sort of confused and politely applauding and clearly baffled by the ending. That sort of thing occasionally happens. It's more of a thing for stage than on TV because by the time the show's put together you can let a failure sit comfortably within a show but there's no way out of it on stage.
Magicians always seem to be shrouded in secrecy. Is your public persona different from who you are in day-to-day life?
I'm probably a little shyer than people imagine. I'm not very sociable. If I get invited to a glamorous event I probably won't go. That world does not really appeal to me. I don't think I'm controlling [as magicians are usually stereotyped]. At least not with other people. I have a couple of dogs and I live with my partner. We just like to sit and read and I'm generally quite quiet.
In the last interview I did, the guy said "Oh, you're annoyingly balanced," which I don't think I am, but I can see what he meant, in terms of my views on things, I'm not terribly opinionated. I never presume I know the full story.
You've written a self-help book on happiness called Happy. But what makes you happy?
Creative engagement in a project. I get very lost and quite muddy when I haven't gotten something bigger than me that I'm involved in. So, writing a book in particular, that's probably the most rewarding out of the things that I do. Making a show like this, or a stage show, those are all things that keep me focused.
I also read, paint a lot and take photographs. I just had a book on street geography come out. Those are things I can lose myself in. Also taking the dogs for a walk.
After decades of performances and TV specials in the U.K., you're finally breaking into America. How have you found that experience?
I've been on TV in England for around 18 years. [Back home,] when I say in my show "someone's going to take a bullet for somebody" [the premise of Sacrifice], there's a sense of familiarity because these people know me and they have probably see me do things like this before. But that's not the case in America.
When The Push came out on Netflix there was outrage, not from the show itself but from the trailer and the hook of it. It was on Fox News. You guys don't really know who I am or what world I come from, or what my agenda is so that is new and it's refreshing.
We are trying to make sure that the components of these early U.S. shows build a profile of who I am because the [Broadway] stage shows that I do in England have a common ancestor with these TV specials. But I don't think it's immediately obvious, if you've only seen Sacrifice or The Push, that I would be somebody who will also put on an entertaining show on stage.
With these specials we're trying to say: This is me, this is what I do, but it's a broad remit and there's not really an easy title for it.
Sacrifice premieres October 19 on Netflix.

I have been selling CliCs for 16 years now and over the years many fun and interesting things have happened. I have decided to share them with you.
My earliest memory was at an outdoor sale in Ottawa where I had a table with some of my CliCs hanging on the display stand. They sat with the lenses upright and horizontal on the stand with the magnets attached as if they were staring at the sky.
My table was covered with a cloth. It was a very hot and sunny day. I started to smell something burning and realized it was my tablecloth! The lenses are magnifiers of course, and with the hot sun shining through, they actually started a fire!
So please do not hang the glasses on your rear-view mirror in your car! And if you are in the woods camping and need to make a fire, all you need is the sun and your CliC Readers!
My husband is an extremely prolific person, good at fixing and building just about anything, and a very good mechanic. On several occasions, he has dropped screws while repairing all sorts of things, namely an engine on a boat when the screw fell into an unreachable spot. He used his CliCs and retrieved the screw! The same thing when working on a car engine. These magnets are very powerful!
We were boating with some friends in the Thousand Islands when someone dropped the barbeque tongs over the side. John tied a rope to his CliCs and literally "fished" the tongs out of the lake!
One of my customers told me a story about him having returned from a trip travelling by car. He stored his luggage in the trunk, closed it and drove back home. It was a lengthy enough drive and when he went around the car to open the trunk and retrieve his luggage, there were his CliCs, attached to the outside of the trunk by the magnets!
Our latest experience could have ended very badly and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but today he was working on doing some welding on a piece of wrought iron, and while cleaning up afterwards, he quickly picked up a brush and cleaned a section without putting his CliC medical Goggles on! (He uses them all the time when he is working on sawing stuff.)
He felt something in his eye and called me to have a look. I was shocked to see that he had a tiny piece of metal stuck in his eyeball. As I panicked, and was ready to rush him to the hospital, my ever calm and resourceful husband said "get a pair of CliCs"
So while wearing a pair so I could see, I used the magnet from another pair and with great trepidation brought it very close to his eye. He said, it's gone! And sure enough when I rubbed my finger on the magnet, I felt the tiny piece of metal on my finger and his eye is totally fine!
Now as much as I wouldn't recommend doing anything like this, I do believe that my husband is brilliant to have thought of it and the outcome was phenomenal!
If any of you have any stories to tell about your experiences with your CliC Readers, I welcome you to send them to me and I will publish them.

text: Mask of the Other is a well written and engaging story dealing with the aspects of the Cthulhu mythos in a modern setting. As with a lot of mythos fiction there is some examination of the price that is paid for power and if you have read and enjoyed any of the Delta Green fiction then this is probably going to be your kind of thing. I thought the characters and the organisations where presented in a convincing way and the supernatural elements were dealt with well, both in terms of reinterpreting the mythos and as stand alone descriptions of alien (in the broad sense) creatures. I'd recommend the book to pretty much anybody who likes modern horror.

John Eustace had a goal disallowed deep into injury time, as former Hornets boss Brendan Rodgers secured revenge.
Swansea edged 2-0 in front thanks to goals from Scott Sinclair and Stephen Dobbie, before on loan striker Frank Nouble made it 3-0 to the Swans on 69 minutes.
Watford then gave the home faithful a glimmer of hope, substitute Troy Deeney netted his first league goal in a yellow shirt, Martin Taylor also pulled a goal back for the home side, but that wasn't enough as Swansea secured their first away win of the season.
Sinclair edged the visitors ahead inside 15 minutes; Swansea's first real attack of the match was finished off by the former Chelsea man, as he converted home via a Dobbie assist.
Dobbie then made it 2-0 with a cracking finish, as his sublime effort from just inside the 18 yard box deflected kindly off the bar and into the net, that proved to be Dobbie's fourth goal of the season.
Watford centre back Adrian Mariappa could of well clawed a goal back for the Golden Boys, his diverted header was cleared off the line by Swansea defender Alan Tate.
At that point Swansea were sitting in a comfortable position, the team from Wales were well on course for all three points and there first away win of the season.
69 minutes into the second half and the visitors made it three, great play by winger Nathan Dyer set the ball on a plate for Frank Nouble, the on loan West Ham striker slotted home from close range to score his first goal for Swansea.
Just after 70 minutes the home side pulled a goal back, after Rodgers decided to substitute the on form Scott Sinclair.
Substitute Deeney first had a shot blocked by Swansea defender Angel Rangel, a minute later Deeney fired home with a perfect finish. The former Walsall man had yet another chance, Jordan Mutch set up the goods this time; however Deeney couldn't convert.
84 minutes gone and Watford scored their second of the game, Malky Mackay's risk of sending Martin Taylor up front proved to be the rightful decision, the defender himself headed home from a Doyley cross.
Watford was pressing Swansea City in the final stages, as the team from Hertfordshire went in search for an important equalizer.
In the final minute of the game the linesman decided to flag John Eustace offside, the midfielder saw a last gasp goal ruled out. Watford still remain in the play-off places while Swansea move up a place to eighth.
After the game the fans expressed their frustration at Brendan Rodgers; however the Swansea boss remained calm. "The Supporters were fine, the guys will tell you here I had a real close relationship with people – the media, the players, the people – so I understand the frustration"
It was a spirited fightback from the Hornets, but they just couldn't manage to secure four consecutive wins in a row. Watford's next task is away to Sheffield United, while Swansea host East Midlands side Derby County.

I narrowly avoided a calamity this morning. On all mornings when I have to attend college, I have several alarms set on both of my phones so that if I sleep through one, there are several more that will ring. Well, today I somehow slept through between five and ten alarms. It was only when my grandmother called me that I awoke.
Once I was awake, I realised it was 10:50...forty minutes before the start of my first lesson. There was no time for me to eat breakfast, drink coffee and shower; instead, I donned my day clothing (over my pajamas), college bag and badges, and then bolted down at Peregrine falcon velocity to my bus stop a mile away. Unsurprisingly, I was shattered once I reached my stop, even though the run was downhill.
I caught the 11:12 bus, which gave me eighteen minutes to arrive at college. To my pleasant surprise, my bus made few stops, faced a mostly traffic-free route and the lights were friendly. The only part of the trip where I was delayed was after my bus drove past Nottingham's train station, where something in progress near the Broadmarsh caused a traffic jam, delaying my arrival at college by five more minutes.
When I made it to class at 11:35, I was not handed a late slip because (1) I messaged ahead to my friends to inform my teacher that I was delayed but on my way, (2) because the lesson hadn't quite started, so I was lucky, and (3) because I was within the "minutes after the start" limit for every class. Even so, I felt terrible that I had grossly overslept and was slightly late; during my first college course I was never late and even for this course I've, other than on this occasion, either been early or exactly on time. Being late, even just this once, is embarrassing and I apologised to my teacher, who was understanding, appreciated my messaging ahead and told me not to worry.
To prevent this from happening again, I will change the alarm sound on one of my phones and put the device closer to my bed. Promising to not sleep deeply again isn't a promise I can keep, so the best I can do is improve my existing alarm system. I am fortunate that this happened on a day when my first class is in the late morning - I would have missed a lesson had this occurred on an early start day and since I want to achieve 100% for the second year in a row, something like this must not happen again. I can laugh about this morning and learn from it as well.

The wine acquires the complex taste after months of fermentation and processing. It requires a lot of care for the manufacturers to come up with a good batch of wine. The temperature should be right, the composition should be right, the barrels should not be exposed to sunlight and this is just a part of it. After months and years, the ingredients turn into a perfect wine which is then bottled and sold. The care doesn't stop here and if you are purchasing an expensive wine then you also need to store it carefully.
One such thing about storing the wine is storing them at the right temperature and at the right humidity level. This can be difficult to achieve but you can get this right with a Wine Cooler. It would not only help you in storing the wine properly but the wine cooler would also maintain the temperature of the wine for consumption.
If you are looking for a 12 bottle wine cooler then you are at the right place because this is a detailed review of Spt 12 Bottle Thermo Electric Wine Cooler. You can check out the details here and then take a decision about purchasing the wine cooler. So, here are the details.
Spt 12 Bottle Thermo-Electric Wine Cooler Reviews
There are many 12 bottle wine coolers available in the market but Spt 12 Bottle Thermo-Electric Wine Cooler really stands out of the ground. One of the reasons why we loved this wine cooler is the design. This model has a very refined design and there is no compromise on the features as well. In addition to this, the wine cooler comes at an affordable price so you would not have to think about spending on this wine cooler. Let us now have a look at the design of Spt 12 Bottle Thermo-Electric Wine Cooler
For any household or for any place, it is important to have an electrical appliance that does not occupy a lot of space. You will come across wine coolers that can store 4 bottles in a row but those can be really big in size because of their longer length and width but the best thing about the design of the Spt 12 Bottle Wine Cooler is that it is compact in size when we look at the length and the width. This wine cooler can only store 2 bottles in a row and it compensates for the space with help of the increased height. This makes more sense in terms of size as you are able to store a lot of space and the wine cooler can easily fit into compact areas.
Talking about the dimensions, the wine cooler is 10 inches wide which make it easy to fit in and the height of the wine cooler is approximately 24.5 inches. Now you know why it is easy to place this wine cooler. In terms of design, the wine cooler has a glass door which comes with an elegant design. The black trim adds on to the elegance and in addition to this, the handle is designed so that it stays recessed. The advantage of this type of a design of the handle is that you do not end up hurting yourself while you are walking close to the wine cooler and at the same time, this design also reduces the risk of damage to the cooler or to the wine because of a collision.
Also, the exterior door of the bridge has three buttons. Two of them are for temperature control and one of them is to control the light. You will also notice a temperature indicator on the bridge which is nothing but 8 bit x 2 LED Light.
This is a real advance wine cooler which features a different kind of technology to keep your wine cool. As the name suggests, it is a thermo-electric cooler and hence there is no compressor in this fridge. This feature basically not just reduces the noise but it also reduces the vibrations.
The glass door of the Spt 12 Wine Cooler features double insulation so the impact of the heat outside is negligible on the wine stored in the cooler. You would not have to worry about the macro factors which you can't really control. The heat can easily be compensated by the cooling effect of the fridge.
The wine cooler also comes with an inner light which can be turned on or turned off with the touch of a button. These buttons are placed on the door of the wine cooler and the lighting is very soft. It is known that the strong light can damage the wine so you would not have to worry about that as well. You can turn on the light to give a better look to the cooler or you can also use the light to identify the wine.
The wine cooler also has a thermostat which is quite efficient in detecting the fall in temperature after comparing it with the pre-set temperature. If this happens, the fridge is triggered again and it starts to cool again. This is the way the wine cooler actually maintains the temperature.
As mentioned earlier, the wine cooler features digital control and these can be used to set the temperature.You can set anything between 51 to 64 degree Fahrenheit. In addition to this, the shelves are also removable so if you wish to refrigerate your champagne bottle then you can remove a shelf and easily fit in the bottle
The fact that the cooler is a thermo-electric cooler is certainly what turns out to be the unique selling point for the wine cooler. There is negligible noise and some of the people not even notice the noise because the wine cooler is very quiet.
Since there are no vibrations, the wine cooler doesn't disturb the sedimentation which is certainly required to store the wine properly
The best part about this wine cooler is the size of this wine cooler. In terms of exact dimensions, the wine cooler is 10 inches wide and it is 20.5 inches long. So, this makes the base of the wine cooler as 10 inches x 20.5 inches. In terms of height, the wine cooler is 24.5 inches tall. The weight of the wine cooler is 27 pounds.[rehub_affbtn btn_text="Check Latest Deals on Amazon" btn_url="https://amzn.to/32NHBLX"]
This is certainly a good product to opt for and one of the reasons why we would recommend this product is that it is a thermo-electric wine chiller. Because of this, the wine chiller doesn't make any noise. The compact design is also another factor that we considered while recommending this product to you. In addition to this, the wine cooler comes with 1 year warranty which would safeguard your investment from any manufacturing defect or any issue during the intended usage of the wine chiller.[rehub_affbtn btn_text="Check Price on Amazon" btn_url="https://amzn.to/32NHBLX"]

Some editing tasks in Final Cut take longer than others. This usually boils down to needing to switch the tool you're using or search through Final Cut's menu's to find the command you wish to apply. Using keyboard commands or shortcuts is a sure-fire way to speed up your work flow.
Remembering shortcuts can be tricky & of course there are some tasks that don't seem to have shortcuts assigned to them. Fortunately, Final Cut has a Keyboard layout that can be customized to suit your memory! In this Quick Tip we'll explore how to set up your own keyboard layouts.
Read on to find out more...
In Final Cut you can create, save and load multiple layouts which can be useful if different editors (with their own preferred shortcuts) need to edit using the same machine.
The Keyboard Layouts area in Final Cut is not under the Window menu, which is where most people would look instead, choose:
Tools > Keyboard Layout > Customize...
Or use the keyboard shortcut: Option+H
The Keyboard Layout window can be broken down into two main areas. On the left is a representation of your Mac's keyboard. On each key is a image representing the command which has been mapped or assigned to it. Leave your mouse pointer motionless over a key to discover it's function.
On the right is the list of shortcuts in categories, first by menu and then by type. Like in OSX's Finder, click on a disclosure triangle to show/hide the commands listed under that category.
You'll also notice a Search field, which may well be the quickest way to find any command you're look for. You can search by command or by key command, e.g. type "d" to see which commands are assigned to the "d" key.
Let's say we want to find out what the shortcut is for "Ripple Delete". Simply begin typing "ripple" into the Search field and the area below displays only commands containing the word "ripple".
We can see from the filtered results that "Ripple Delete" is assigned to Shift+Backspace/Delete. We can also see that pressing "r" twice will switch your current tool to the Ripple Tool.
If you want to create your shortcuts or change existing ones you must first unlock the keyboard layout. Click on the Lock symbol in the bottom left corner to unlock it and allow changes. (The lock icon will become open and gray once unlocked).
Next, let's say we want to assign "Apply Normalization Gain" to the "Y" key... Search for "gain" in the search field and simply drag the command name from the list on to the "Y" key on the keyboard.
In the Command list on the right, the shortcut now appears next to the name of the command.
If you wish to delete an assigned shortcut, simply drag the key off the keyboard (much like you'd drag an icon out of the Mac OSX Dock) and release the mouse button. Gone!
You may want to keep the existing layout as it is, but view and edit those commands used in conjunction with the shift, Option, Command or a combination of those keys.
In the top area of the keyboard layout are tabs that represent the different combinations of modifiers with the alpha numeric keys. Click a tab to display the commands currently assigned to keys used with that/those modifiers.
You can now assign a command by searching for it, choosing the Modifier tab and dragging the command onto the key of your choice.
Remember to lock your keyboard layout when you're done and of course you can choose the "Reset..." and "Clear..." buttons to reset the current layout or clear all current key commands respectively.
The Keyboard layout is an extremely useful area, not only to assign key commands to your most needed functions, but also to find commands you didn't even know existed!

VH1 today announced a record 44 original series in 2010 and a change of focus — moving away from its celebrity reality series and towards young adults' real life stories. To understand the "core of its core" audience, the network said it did an extensive study focusing on what VH1 calls "Gen Mix" – the young adults who make up the tail-end of Generation X and the very beginning of Gen Y or the Millennials, covering the ages between 25 and 34.
"They told us that they want to connect even more with our characters, our artists and our celebrities – but in a more genuine way. They still enjoy VH1's signature sense of fun and irreverence, but they also want more storylines that reflect the issues and challenges they are experiencing in their own lives," said Tom Calderone, President, VH1.
New VH1 Reality Series
You're Cut Off! – Premieres Monday, June 14 at 9 PM ET/PT
What happens when you take nine spoiled young women and completely cut them off from shopping, mani-pedis and bottle service? This new series answers that when these women are removed from all cash and conveniences, forced to live as normal people do and encouraged to become productive members of society. In this "spoiled rotten rehab," the ladies must complete daily chores and learn hard lessons from life coach Laura Baron such as taking responsibility and understanding there is more to life than material wealth. VH1's "You're Cut Off" is produced By Fly on the Wall Productions. Executive producers are Allison Grodner, Rich Meehan, Amy Palmer and Rick de Oliveira.
Money Hungry – Summer 2010
In the spirit of VH1's successful "Celebrity Fit Club" series, 10 overweight teams of two will put their money where their mouth is on VH1's new original series "Money Hungry." Just like millions of Americans, these contestants are struggling to drop unwanted pounds. But with $10,000 of their own money at risk and a $100,000 grand prize up for grabs, this intense weight loss competition may be the incentive they need.
The pair that sheds the most weight will walk away with the $100,000 pot. Created and executive produced by Cris Abrego and Ellen Rakieten. Ben Samek and Rabih Gholam also executive produce for the series.
My Big Friggin Wedding (working title)
"My Big Friggin Wedding" is a new VH1 docu-series that follows the high drama of five couples as they plan and execute the wildest weddings anyone has ever seen. Their budgets may not be the biggest, but their mouths sure are. And just because they're in love doesn't mean they see eye-to-eye on how it should all go down. Whether it's smoke machines and lasers or a bride that wants to be lowered from the ceiling, remember, "classy" is in the eye of the beholder. The series will be produced by 495 Productions and executive produced by Sally Ann Salsano.
Wedding Wars (working title)
"Wedding Wars" is a new competition-elimination series where eager engaged couples vie against one another for a dream wedding. In every episode these passionate personalities will face wedding-themed challenges. The series will be produced by 495 Productions and executive produced by Sally Ann Salsano.
Diary of a Hip Hop Girlfriend
This docu-soap series follows four women who share a common bond: they understand the joys and pains of being in love with a big name rapper. Sure, there's the glamorous lifestyle – full of bling, Bentleys and mansions. But behind closed doors, they struggle against shifting loyalties, baby-mama drama and the huge shadow cast by their larger-than-life partner. This 8-part series charts the women as they navigate their relationships with the men they love while they try to maintain a sense of self in the eye of the hip hop hurricane. Executive produced by Mona Scott of Monamie Entertainment and Toby Barraud and Stefan Springman of NFG-TV.
In development:
Eva Longoria: Beso: Waiting on Fame
One of Eva Longoria Parker's biggest passions is her Hollywood restaurant BESO. Since it is Hollywood, a lot of celebrities eat there, and a lot of aspiring celebrities work there. Beso is filled with big personalities – and that mix brings a lot of drama. This series is about the real stories of people waiting ON the famous…while waiting to BECOME famous. Created and executive produced by Cris Abrego and Eva Longoria. Ben Samek and Rabih Gholam also executive produce for the series.
Estranged with Dr. Drew
In each self-contained episode, Dr. Drew Pinsky will tackle one compelling relationship in ruins. With his guidance, the two participants discover that they must finally confront their broken relationship face-to-face in an intense and focused process that takes place over the course of day. In the end, they must decide if they want to make amends or remain estranged for good. The pilot will be produced by Picture This Television with executive producers Bryan Scott, Lisa Tucker and Leslie Goodman and Dr. Drew Productions with executive producers Dr. Drew Pinsky and Howard Lapides.

Deciding factor:There are a number of universities in the area that offer evening programs for working professionals, but TCU's stands out for its reputation of building strong leaders. The school is well loved in the Fort Worth area, and has a national reputation for excellence.
Particular strength:The quality of the students and the professors is impressive. My classmates are competitive, ambitious, and intelligent – but still friendly and fun to be around.

~ Traditions of a different kind~
In the wine-country village of Haux in France, a 30-year-old Easter tradition has become a special and much looked forward to treat for residents and visitors alike: An omelette cooked in an almost 12ft frying pan using over 5,200 eggs, 21 quarts of oil and 110 pounds of bacon, onion and garlic for 1,000 people!
Since 1965, in the eastern German town of Saalfeld, German pensioners, Volker and Christa Kraft spend almost two weeks every Easter, decorating their apple tree with over 10,000 Easter eggs. A sight to behold, it is exhausting just to think about the work involved both in putting them up and taking them down, let alone packing them away, whether you're retired or not.
In Guyana, it apparently is an oddity any other time of the year but on Easter Sunday and Monday, it is tradition to go kite flying. People of all religions take part in this festive, colourful celebration of Easter even though it has Christian connotations. It was originally held to symbolize Jesus Christ's rising from his grave and ascending to heaven.
Easter Monday in Poland is a day to stay indoors if you don't want to get soaked to the skin. Originally, it was a Polish custom for young men to sprinkle unmarried girls with holy water in the hopes of a romantic involvement – this has now evolved into a day that all boys and young men look forward to, especially those with sisters. Armed with water pistols, buckets and any contraption that holds water, groups of young men are out in city centres ready to throw water on any female that passes by. Apparently, if women do venture out, they do so dressed in raincoats and rubber boots since having water thrown at you is a traditional Easter Monday festivity!
In Corfu, Greece, where Easter is more important than even Christmas, it is a tradition to throw crockery and clay pots out of windows on Easter Saturday. Why you may ask? Apparently no one seems to know. Various opinions: It's a time to throw out winter and be ready for new things in spring; it's the joy and relief having gone through 40 days of lent and having abstained from indulgence; it's the rejection of Judas; it could also be that they have lost their marbles!
And the winner is? Norway! Traditionally a secular country, their Easter holidays stretch from Thursday to Monday inclusive. In addition to the special church services and family get-togethers common the world over, an Easter tradition particular or possibly peculiar to Norwegians is the reading of crime novels and detective stories. Every TV and radio channel produces a crime series for Easter and even the dairy company prints crime stories on their cartons!
However you spend your Easter, have a happy one. May it be with your loved ones and chocolate!

The UK's leading art supplies retailer Cass Art are delighted to announce that the Turner Prize nominated Scottish artist, David Mach, will be coming to Cass Art Glasgow in April 2018 to create a colossal installation 'Against the Tide'.
Artist David Mach will be coming to Glasgow in spring 2018 to make a colossal installation 'Against the Tide' within The Art Space at Cass Art Glasgow. Using some 5 tonnes of newspapers, supported by Herald & Times Group, Mach will take over the space, constructing a tide of newspaper. Boxes seeming to contain weapons of a military nature will be embedded in the construction, appearing to float along, swept away by the tide. Alongside the installation, 100 collages will be on display and the exhibition will continue for a six week period.
Mach says: "This piece focusses on the tide of information we receive daily, and the questions this information raises about our contemporary lives. Questions about our sexuality, gender, race, industry, money and politics. We seem to have more concerns than ever about all of these things or maybe these age old questions are just the same?"
Join us for the private view on 16th April 6-8pm. Simply RSVP to email@example.com with David Mach Private View RSVP in the subject line.
You can also join us for a free 'In Conversation' event with David Mach & songwriter/performer Rab Noakes on the 11th April 6-8pm. David and Rab will address questions raised by the exhibition, discussing life, art and music, telling stories and reciting poetry. Find out more and RSVP here.
