Having stood at the heart of the Jewish community and city of Slonim for four centuries, there are no shortage of stories surrounding the Great Synagogue. We have collected some of these stories here. If you have any information or personal stories relating to the Synagogue that you would like to share with us, please get in touch
Jewish settlement in Slonim started at the end of the 14th C following encouragement from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Jews were credited with the development of local commerce in the 15th century which was a golden age of the Jewish community, which came to end when they were temporarily expelled by the Duchy in 1503. The Jews re-established themselves and became specialists in the timber and grain trades, and some were active in the distilling industry and in handicrafts. The wealth of the community allowed the creation of the Great Synagogue in 1642.
Slonim became a major centre of Jewish life, producing many scholars, community leaders and rabbis. In the 19th C, it was famous in Jewish academic circles because of the activity of Rabbi Abraham Weinberg, the first Chassidic Rebbe of Slonim. Due to his reputation, Slonim Yeshiva came to prominence among religious Jews and many came to study in Slonim. By the middle of the 19th C, Slonim Jews maintained 7 synagogues and 14 prayer-houses. In 1897, 11,515 out of 15,863 Slonim inhabitants (72.5%) were Jews.
Between the wars the Jewish community led an active social, cultural and religious life. In 1939 Slonim had a population of 25,000 of which 17,000 were Jewish.
Red Army units occupied Slonim in September 1939 after the signing of the Nazi-Soviet Pact. Slonim became one of the main centres of Jewish migration from Polish territories taken by the Nazis and the situation in town became extremely difficult because of the number of refugees.
The Nazis invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941 by which time the Jewish population in Slonim had grown to 22,000. By the end of 1942, in a series of 4 'actions' they had murdered all the Jews apart from a very few who were useful to them. Small numbers of Jews escaped into the forests to join the partisans. The Great Synagogue was used as a warehouse by a German agricultural machinery manufacturer. Jewish workers were able to hide arms amongst the agricultural machinery which were passed to the partisans.
Just 200 Jews survived the War and a Jewish community that had existed and thrived for centuries was extinguished in the most brutal of circumstances.
Communism followed after the War and the story of the Jewish community and the Holocaust was something that, in the Soviet era, could not be spoken of. The single storey sections of the Great Synagogue were used as retail outlets while the main structure was used as a furniture store. All of the single storey structures which surrounded the main hall have since fallen into disrepair and collapsed.
The building now lies abandoned and derelict yet remains the most prominant marker of the former Jewish community. Indeed, despite its current poor state, this Synagogue remains to this day the best preserved in all of Belarus.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Marion County Prosecutor's Office has filed a motion to appoint a special prosecutor for the investigation against Indiana's Attorney General Curtis Hill.
Hill is accused of sexual misconduct against a lawmaker and three legislative staffers.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Prosecutor Terry Curry said his office had filed a motion for a special prosecutor for the investigation into those allegations.
Curry said by law, the Attorney General is required to represent any prosecutor who has been sued in a civil action.

"We are a client of the Attorney General's Office and it would be entirely inappropriate for our office then to turn around and participate in a criminal investigation of the Attorney General," Curry said.
Curry also said his office has not been given any information about the allegations or the investigation into them and they know nothing more than has been released by the media.
"The only thing that I'm aware of has been press reports, there has never been any substantive information given to our office for review," Curry said.
You can watch Curry's full announcement below.
A memo released earlier this month outlined the allegations with the four women claiming that Hill inappropriately touched them at a party shortly after Indiana's legislative session came to a close.
Several lawmakers, including Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb, have since called on Hill to resign.
In multiple statements since the initial allegations, Hill has denied any kind of inappropriate behavior. He held a press conference on Monday pushing back against the accusations, saying the reports are wrong and that calls for him to resign should be rescinded until a full investigation has been completed.
"This inaccurate, confidential report formed the basis of the calls for my resignation," Hill said. "These calls for my resignation are unwarranted, and those calls should be rescinded."

You don't need to wait for the end of the financial year (EOFY), for investment property owners to start thinking about possible tax deductions from property depreciation on the properties that they own. While many investors and homeowners already know about the cost of building a house Sunshine Coast, they may not be so up to speed on what the Australian Tax Office will recognise in terms of depreciation claims. This is something that should be learned as soon as possible, as it can often be the difference between properties turning a profit and taking a loss in Wurtulla, Bokarina, Birtinya, and other parts of the Sunshine Coast.
Since depreciation is considered a non-cash deduction, it is a real mistake to not include it in your annual tax returns. As an investor, you should know that you are in fact able to claim two different types of property depreciation, and it's important to know the difference between them both. The first of the two is known as capital works, and is essentially based on the costs of construction of the property, as well as the fixed assets within. The second type is often referred to as plant and equipment, and is usually in reference to items that can easily be removed from the property. It can be tricky to differentiate between the two at times, which is why help from a tax professional is always a good idea.
Another claim that investors can make for their properties is investment property depreciation, but only if it's a building constructed after 1985. This is a good one for investors looking at building a new property, as they can make this claim for a period of 40 years, with the depreciation rate usually coming in at about 2.5% annually. This is a huge amount, and can actually end up being as much as 60% of the actual purchase price of the property. Keep in mind that the 40 years is based on the age of the building. If it's 15 years old at time of purchase, you can claim this depreciation for 25 years.
Property depreciation can be a tricky thing to figure out, which is why investors really need to think about talking to a ta depreciation company that will be able to help them get all that they are due from their properties. This is not a small investment to make, but one that should be considered absolutely crucial. You need only have your tax schedule created once, and the cost of having it done is actually tax deductible. This money really is an investment, as opposed to an expense.
Conservative estimates say that about 80% of all property investors do not make the sort of depreciation claims that allow them to recoup all the money that they are entitled to. If you fall into that category, you need to get your EOFY off to the right start by talking to a tax depreciation specialist today.

First, let's assume that you have another job as well – I only know one person who makes a living just from literary translation.
Starting out as a literary translator is a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem: no one will pay you to translate if you don't have a track record, and you can't get the track record until… etc.
One way is start small: find a short story or an essay you like, and contact the author for permission to translate it. Write/phone/email the publishers if you can't get hold of the author's details. The author can be well known or not, it doesn't matter, but prepare something on his/her background for potential publishers.
Then translate it. Then offer it to literary magazines, or websites. Which ones will depend a bit where you are in the world. You could offer it to Paper Republic, for example: propose it for the Read Paper Republic project by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Or pitch it to Words Without Borders, Asymptote Journal or similar literary magazines. Mostly you won't get paid for this kind of thing, but it will be a useful exercise. It will prove to yourself and to potential publishing contacts that you can do it; also, you may get useful comments from fellow translators who read it.
Once you have something you want to translate, whether short or long, look out for translation awards and prizes for which you can apply. American PEN, for example, administers a rather prominent one. Winning an award will raise your profile and that of the work you are translating.
At the same time: Do some translation training, read books about translation theory, attend workshops – it helps you reflect on how you do your translation and why. Look out for translation summer schools, for instance, in the UK, the Warwick Translates Summer School or, in the US, Middlebury. These programmes change every year, so please let us know at email@example.com if new ones start up or old ones are no longer running.
Keep an eye on literary translation websites, and websites with a general Chinese-to-English translation element, for jobs, news, information and so on.
Join a translators' association – either a specialist literary one or a general translators one. You will often have to do a test translation to be accepted as a member, but it will mean you can be listed in their directory.


text: Adapting a graphic novel for the screen is not for the faint of heart. On top of keeping die-hard fans happy with page-to-screen continuity, filmmakers must carefully script the action to suit the faster pace of the medium. In many ways, Priest, which opens Friday, is the perfect example of this struggle. While the Korean comic book series by Hyung Min-woo that inspired the film focuses on the pedestrian travels of an undead priest in search of revenge, the film takes a decidedly different approach by tweaking the plot, ditching a lot of the shoe leather and incorporating a slew of custom-made motorcycles. Wired.com caught up with Hollywood car fabricators at Cinema Vehicle Services and Ghostlight Industries for a behind-the-scenes look at the planning, building and construction of Priest's futuristic two-wheeled co-stars. Above: Paul Bettany: Biker Priest Paul Bettany plays motorcycle-riding vampire hunter Priest in director Scott Stewart's PG-13 post-apocalyptic sci-fi action thriller Priest. Photo: Scott Garfield/Screen Gems.Priest Concept Art Each shop starts the process by analyzing studio-supplied images like the Priest concept art above, provided to Ghostlight's vehicle fabricators. In addition to mapping out the production designer's overall aesthetic, these early images also give the vehicle fabricators an early opportunity to flag potential hurdles in the build. For instance, early sketches of the bike above included a lot more unwieldy weaponry on the front of the bike. "It was a great-looking concept," said Cinema Vehicle Services' vehicle designer at large, Fireball Tim Lawrence. "But if we'd built it to that spec, the rider would've blown the tire off the first time they fired the guns." Top: Concept imagery courtesy of Columbia, TriStar, Screen Gems. Bottom: Concept art photographed by Frank Collins and Fireball Tim Lawrence/Cinema Vehicle Services.Priest's Source Motorcycles Since the studio was tasked with sourcing the bikes for the Priest production, both Cinema Vehicle Services and Ghostlight Industries received a small shipment of sport bikes like this Suzuki Gladius to work with. However, it took at least one mulligan before Cinema Vehicle Services could get started. "The studio originally brought us dirt bikes," said Ray Claridge, CVS' president and manager. "We had to have them switch [to the Gladius], because there was no way those smaller bikes were going to work for the build." Photo: Ghostlight Industries.Stretching Priest Bikes Ghostlight Industries' fabricators prop up one of the Priest bikes in preparation for the frame-extension process. "The stretching was a challenge," said Ghostlight owner and manager Cyril O'Neill. "To match the artist's aesthetic look, we went with a suspension system typically used in sidecars." The process of extending the bike ridden by vampire-hunter Hicks (played by Cam Gigandet) took careful consideration for the Cinema Vehicle Services team. "We used an aluminum swing arm to extend the rear wheel," said vehicle fabricator Sam Salerno, "and we had to modify the back end and move the fuel tank underneath the seat to match the low riding stance." Top photo: Ghostlight Industries Bottom photo: Frank Collins and Fireball Tim Lawrence/Cinema Vehicle Services.Priest Road Tests One of Ghostlight Industries' more cavalier builders takes the extended frame out for a test drive. Over the course of each shop's build, fabricators would regularly take the Priest bikes onto the open road to ensure they handled and performed properly. "Everything on our bike was road-worthy from a mechanical stance," said Cinema Vehicle Services fabricator Mark Mazure. "I bet even now you could register it and drive it on the street." Photo: Ghostlight Industries.Foam and Steel Cinema Vehicle Services vehicle fabricator Sam Salerno tests the fit of one of cosmetic side pieces on the bike ridden by Hicks, the wasteland sheriff who teams up with Priest. The shop's sculptor crafted the larger pieces out of tooling foam, allowing Salerno to create molds for the finished versions. A Ghostlight Industries Priest bike sits propped up in the shop with placeholder body panels. Due to time and budget concerns, the team abandoned its early 3-D renderings and relied on sculptors to carve the first set of body sections out of foam. Top photo: Frank Collins and Fireball Tim Lawrence/Cinema Vehicle Services. Bottom photo: Ghostlight Industries.Final Fiber A Ghostlight Industries Priest bike starts to undergo the fitting of its bespoke (and finalized) body panels. Photo: Ghostlight Industries.Ready to Ship Cinema Vehicle Services' completed Priest bike is now ready to ship back to the studio. Each shop returned the bikes with just a spartan coat of paint — it'll be up to the production's artisans and armorers to apply weapons and "age" the bikes using additional paint. Frank Collins and Fireball Tim Lawrence/Cinema Vehicle Services.Ghostlight Industries' Priest Bike Ghostlight Industries' fully dressed bike sits parked outside a prop-storage warehouse just beyond Los Angeles city limits. From concept to delivery, Ghostlight took roughly six weeks to construct the six motorcycles it provided for the film. One of Ghostlight's less-involved builds for the production hangs out in the background. Photos: Jon Snyder/Wired.com.Cinema Vehicle Services' Priest Bike Cinema Vehicle Services' cosmetically aged creation creeps out of storage for a moment in the sun. In total, it took the shop about five weeks to build the two bikes ordered for Priest. Not all of the damage on this Cinema Vehicle Services motorcycle is the product of movie magic. Both teams kept extra molds on hand for on-set accidents, and at least one of the bikes provided for Priest was destroyed during filming.

Jonathan's Perspective
Tuesday, August, 14, 2018 | 2:21 PM | by Munholland
People are relational creatures. We were made to thrive in intimate, healthy relationships within families and communities. In fact, we cannot live without connection. Research has found that babies who do not receive enough personal physical connection wither emotionally and sometimes actually die. We are relational in the core of our beings and need to properly nourish good relationships.
Our connectional need is to be in relationship with God. Connecting with God gives us a fresh start through forgiveness and the Holy Spirit coming into our lives. That intimate communion with God and growth through Scripture, prayer, and service creates a framework in which we can be our true selves. Finding our true selves is not about defining myself by our limited experience, knowledge, and desires. Our true selves come when we understand how God has made us and the particular gifts He has given us to advance into the Kingdom of God. When we submit our will to God's will, we begin to live a life that is truly life. Have you ever felt you were in a rut living a life that was not life at all? The cure for that is to connect deeply with God who will show you the Way, teach you the Truth, and give you the only Life worth living. As Heb. 12 says, Jesus is the author and perfecter of our lives. We need to stay intimately connected with Jesus to have our lives directed and perfected. I like the way Psalm 100 puts our relationship with God: "Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture." What a beautiful vision of our connection with God!
The second connection we need is Christian community. Our salvation is tied up on one another and we need to stay connected with each other for several reasons. First, we need the mutual encouragement that worship and small groups provide. Paul writes in I Thessalonians 5:11, "Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." Second, we need people to help us when we are week. When we face difficulties and question God's provision or faithfulness, we need others to faithfully intercede for us. Finally, we need brothers and sisters who have the integrity to correct us. There are times when my attitudes and behaviors are less than godly (I'm being easy on myself) and I need someone to grab me by the shoulders and shake me. I don't need someone who will sympathize, but someone who will speak truth into my life to correct me. Connection with fellow Christians is vital for us to grow deeper and deeper in love with Jesus as we live our lives for Him.
Thinking of our lives in terms of our relationships is helpful to assess our health. As John Wesley would ask, 'Are you staying in love with God?' My prayer is that we, together, will walk with Christ and experience the life that is truly life.
Staying Connected,

TROY — De Witt S. Dykes Jr., an associate professor who teaches African-American history at Oakland University, said he is not sure people realize the extent that students played in the civil rights movement and "transforming America."
He will share his thoughts on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement during a program at the Troy Public Library titled "Remembering the Civil Rights Movement with Those Who Were There." John Hardy will talk about helping to register black citizens in Mississippi to vote in the early 1960s when he was a student, and Dorothy Aldridge, who served as director of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 1960s and worked with Stokely Carmichael, Hubert "Rap" Brown and Rosa Parks, will join him.
Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Michael Warren will moderate the panel. He is the co-creator of Patriot Week. He spearheaded Patriot Week in 2009 with his daughter, Leah, who was 10 at the time.
Erin Chapman, the library's adult reference librarian, said the program grew out of a relationship the library established with Oakland University and Warren.
"(Dykes) said he teaches a class on civil rights and had a lot to contribute to the subject of civil rights. He was able to connect me with the other speakers," Chapman said. "I thought it would be more interesting to have three people who experienced the civil rights movement on the first line. Judge Warren's presidential lectures presented at the library were part of Patriot Week, and he hoped to expand the program throughout the year."
"Patriot Week renews America's spirit by celebrating the first principles, founding fathers and other patriots, vital documents and speeches, and flags that make America the greatest nation in world history," Warren said via email. "Many of (the) current holidays have become overly commercialized or have lost their deeper meaning. We need to invigorate our appreciation and understanding of America's spirit. Anchored by the key dates of Sept. 11 (the anniversary of the terrorist attacks) and Sept. 17 (Constitution Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution by our Founding Fathers), the schedule for each day has a separate focus. We celebrate the first principle of equality with two days (one for race, and one for gender). We also celebrate Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr. in connection with racial equality."
For more about Patriot Week, visit www.PatriotWeek.org.
"Only by understanding the sacrifices and enormous efforts that we have taken can (we) continue to maintain and advance the civil rights struggle," Warren said. "Learning firsthand from these civil rights icons can help ensure further momentum to fulfilling America's promise."
He said he will present a short overview of the Declaration of Independence and the overall struggle to achieve civil rights.
"I will then posit questions to each of the panelists and moderate the discussion. There will be a Q & A session at the end," he said.
Warren said he's hoping attendees will have a "renewed and deeper understanding of our first principle of equality, a broader knowledge of the civil rights efforts, and the inspiration to be directly engaged in helping better achieve equality across America."
Dykes said that King was a "uniquely prepared leader with his speaking ability and education to lead the Montgomery (Alabama) bus boycott."
He said he thinks that King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is a more significant document than his "I Have a Dream" speech.
He noted that Hardy and Aldridge were both actively involved as students, participated in demonstrations and joined nonviolent student protests.
"Others, such as ministers, had full-time jobs," Dykes said. "Many students dropped out of school to concentrate on civil rights and made enormous sacrifices," he said.
Dykes said Hardy went back to school and retired as a teacher in Detroit Public Schools. Aldridge is an active board member of the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights.
Dykes said the civil rights movement developed in stages, with the NAACP playing an important part in the demonstrations and in the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka Supreme Court case that ended segregation in schools.
He said the demonstrations and confrontations helped to end segregation at lunch counters, hotels, theaters, parks and swimming pools.
"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was only an individual part of the movement. I think he would say … he was symbolic of those named and unnamed."
"Remembering the Civil Rights Movement with Those Who Were There" will be held at 7 p.m. Jan. 16 at the Troy Public Library, 510 W. Big Beaver Road. Register by calling (248) 524-3534 or visit troypl.org.

Friends, this time I seek the help of a connoisseur of fossil corals, they are from the Neocomiano (Lower Cretaceous), from a town near Tehuacán, in the State of Puebla (Mexico). The scale is in centimeters. I appreciate your help because although I have dedicated myself to reading the scientific literature of the area, I am an amateur, and many of them are very similar. Of those who have an idea, I put their name for them to say. regards

If you own property in Florida, you understand how important it is to protect the value of what you own. Land in the state tends to be quite valuable, and whether it was an inherited piece of land or you purchased it, it's smart to know everything you can know about your asset. One way you can do this is by having a survey of your property done.
Real estate disputes often arise out of issues related to how much the land is worth, how the owner wants to use the land or where boundary lines lie. These disputes and other issues can ultimately impact how you use your land or what you may be able to get if you sell your land. A survey is a smart way to get the information you need to protect your property value.
What's really on your land?
Even if you have had your property for a long time, that does not necessarily mean that you know everything there is to know about your land. There may be a few surprises that can actually cause complications if you want to sell, build on the land or develop it for a specific purpose. Some of the things you can learn about your property through a survey include:
- The existence of easements on your land, if there are any abandoned roads and if there is a right-of-way on your property
- The exact location of boundary lines, property overlaps or gaps between properties
- Whether there are utility easements or utility lines buried on your land
- If there is a burial ground located on your land
- Where there may be ponds, wells, creeks or hidden bodies of water on your property
A survey is especially useful for situations in which there is a question about how much the property is worth -- an important factor if you want to sell. A survey can also be beneficial if you want to build a fence, erect a storage structure or simply know where your property ends and your neighbor's begins.
An evaluation of your case can help you understand the specific ways you can protect your property and seek a beneficial resolution to your property concerns. If involved in a dispute, you will find it helpful to seek guidance as soon as possible so you can understand your rights and legal options.

Thinking of consumer credit card debt consolidation in Kotzebue, Alaska? Discover your resources in Kotzebue, Alaska
A balance transfer account, as an example, gives the advantages of a zero percent rate of interest (or minimal rate of interest) when you know the best way to make the most of it with the right payment plan. This is not the choice for those trying to find more affordable monthly payments. You will need a steady source of income to be successful. The strategy is that you can save money by not having to pay interest fees, so that monthly payments go straight to the principal. Therefore, you will want to pay as much as possible with every monthly payment. When you do this correctly, you could manage to pay off a sizable percentage of your total balance in a much smaller time period.Read More
When you have a good credit standing, then choosing a personal loan for consolidation is an excellent approach to saving money on excessive interest credit debt. When you get a faster term, you will save more cash. Minimal interest and a brief term will allow you to take full advantage of this approach by cutting back on interest fees over time. That way, you could get the most from the personal unsecured loan strategy for consolidation.
If your property has enough equity, then you might even consider a home equity loan. As far as possible, the equity should be able to pay for all your high-interest credit card debt. Equally significant is the need for a effectively monitored payment schedule for the loan. If you cannot complete the payments, this approach puts your property at risk.
Good and bad points of Kotzebue, Alaska consolidating debts
It makes sense to weigh out the pros and cons of debt consolidation before you make a decision.
Here are some of the pros of deciding to consolidate your credit debt.
It simplifies your debt installment payments. This credit card debt approach unites your many debts into just one. This can help save time and stress on dealing with multiple balances. Much less energy is needed to manage the simple payment process.KEN
It makes it feasible for you to appreciate much better conditions on your payment arrangement. The process of debt consolidation will involve many credit accounts transferred into a new arrangement. There's no better time to get better conditions. You can get lower rates of interest, more flexible plans, or shorter terms, providing multiple ways to lower your expenses.
Cheaper rates of interest! Locating a cheaper interest rate is an integral part of debt consolidation. If you don't find one, then do not consolidate. It doesn't be sensible to move your existing financial obligations in to a newer one having a larger interest rate.
When it comes to the disadvantages, here are the essential ones to think about.
It offers you a mistaken sense of debt relief. It's true that you'll clear up your lines of credit with debt consolidation. However, that doesn't mean that you've paid back your credit card debt. You've just moved your credit card debt to a new financial loan balance. You continue to owe what you owed before, just restructured.
More debt could follow. Your lines of credit are opened up, which means that you might be tempted to use them. This will only steer you further into credit debt.
You still have to find methods to tackle the root reason behind your credit card debt issues. It will be up to you to manage the main cause of your credit card debt difficulties, though debt consolidation is going to make things less difficult as you do. Just the effects of your financial debt are resolved.
Depending on the method of debt consolidation you ultimately choose, your assets could be in danger. If you use your house as collateral, you risk sacrificing this to your debt. Granted, you will get a wonderful affordable rate of interest on a home equity loan. You simply have to understand the risk of sacrificing that property if you are not able to pay.
Submit an application for a Kotzebue, Alaska consolidation loan
The steps to obtain a credit debt consolidation loan would depend on the kind of consolidation that you go after.
Consolidation using the personal loan approach necessitates the equivalent application process similar to any unsecured loan. You'll send a loan application form (or at least the basic loan information) and in most cases, the lending company will do a brief appraisal of creditworthiness to inform you if you are approved for the loan. If you are rejected, you'll then have to consider additional options. If you're accepted, you are going to finish off the application process by providing the appropriate info. You could have the choice of using an internet based application form and submitting electronic versions of your details through email or web site.
A much more comprehensive underwriting endeavor will begin when you have carried out the criteria of the application. You will receive the loan amount when you have finished this process and been accepted. Several loan companies would require you to open a new account with them - this is when they're going to provide the funds you financed.
In case you go with a home equity loan, the procedure is exactly like a home loan application. Further, this procedure is a lot like the procedure of requesting a personal unsecured loan to consolidate your debt. However, the lender will also execute a valuation of the house that you'll set up as collateral. When compared with a personal unsecured loan, this is more expensive.
A lot of people don't realize that they can save time and money by consolidating their credit card debt with the same lender or financial institution that they are currently working with.
Could I get a debt consolidation loan in Kotzebue, Alaska with weak credit?
There's a couple methods to consolidate your debt if you have weak credit.
First is you will sign up for either a standard unsecured or secured loan. You will probably be given a higher monthly interest as a risky borrower. Your less-than-perfect credit shows the loan company that you don't present good patterns with your past accounts. Of course, the interest of your unsecured loans will be greater than a secured financial loan. You could usually have more affordable rates if you secure the loan with collateral.
Then there's the 2nd option, when secured or unsecured loans aren't a feasible strategy in your case. This approach is a debt settlement program. People with unfavorable credit ratings will notice that this can be a great solution to managing debt.
With debt negotiation, you will bargain with the loan provider to repay a percentage of the financial debt and get the remainder pardoned. If you hire a credit card debt settlement company to assist you, they're going to handle the discussions with your credit card companies and loan companies. You'll propose a settlement amount that is usually smaller than your true account balance. If the creditor or loan company agrees, you will pay the settlement and the rest of your credit card debt will be forgiven.
Weak credit and consolidation in Kotzebue, Alaska
There's a couple of techniques for finding reduced rate of interest debt consolidation loans. The first approach is to possess a good credit standing. You must reveal to the loan company that you're a responsible borrower and that you have displayed great payment habits with all your past credit balances. If you want a low interest loan, your good credit score can make a huge difference in getting authorized.
Seeking a secured financial loan is your next solution for a reduced rate of interest. Generally, borrowers make use of the equity of their home. By putting your home as collateral, the loan provider will be more secure that they can get something in case you decide to go into default on your loan installments.
Could you consolidate your personal credit card debt at no cost?
Truthfully, there's no service which has a free consolidation loan. You will have interest fees to pay on the financial loan. Application form costs can also be part of it, even if many will offer minimal origination fees. They are required for the service to check on your credit profile and complete your application for a loan. You will provide for these types of needs with the application costs.
Although you cannot get a cost-free consolidation loan in Kotzebue, Alaska, you can find a complimentary estimate, so that you'll know exactly how much the borrowed funds cost prior to making a decision.
Debt consolidation businesses that are accredited
Among the most effective approaches to determine if a company is reputable or otherwise is to look into its accreditations. These include the companies or agencies that they're associated or colleagues of. When a lender is accepted for credentials with a different organization, they're generally investigated by that organization. Find out what the organization's requirements are for approving lenders, and you may learn more about the company you happen to be thinking of.
A few common credentials that debt consolidation companies seek out are these:
Better Business Bureau. The Better Business Bureau Business Partner Code of Conduct is used to rank Business Partners associated with the BBB. Via their webpage, you will observe the challenges that consumers face with a debt consolidation provider and how the latter functioned to resolve them.
American Fair Credit Council. This is an association of Consumer Credit Advocates that promotes guidelines in the field and promotes honest treatment of clients facing consumer debt.
National Foundation for Credit Counseling. The focus of this institution is on assisting people and debt relief services to elevate economic circumstances. The NFCC just accepts members that passed the qualifications of the Council on Accreditation.
International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators. This institution ensures that the debt arbitrators used by debt consolidation businesses are qualified and licensed to do business for their clientele.
Some other global and nationwide accrediting bodies also exist, and you can get more information by looking into them. If you select a debt consolidation service by researching certifications, then you can certainly relax knowing that you are dealing with a legit company.
Comparing consumer reviews
One other way to ensure you will only be transacting with a legitimate and reliable business is through review articles. Many web sites are actually especially developed to critique debt consolidation providers. There are also some companies featured on personal finance web pages.
When you're examining these testimonials, be sure you pay attention to the value, debt relief method, customer comments and the other financial loans or services that the service offers. Don't focus on the price and service fees. Providing a reduced service charge is not the only important factor for a debt consolidation business. Rather, you'll want to place more value on the measure of satisfaction reported by customers of the company.
Next, you should give some thought to your unique requirements for consolidation. Some providers are prompt to highlight the low-interest rate but don't be misled. They may demand high service fees and stringent repayment programs. Make sure you use a service that will meet your debt relief requirements, more than the desire for a reduced interest.
How can you consolidate credit card debt with a nonprofit service in Kotzebue, Alaska?
Non-profit consumer credit counseling services are out there, but non-profit debt consolidation providers don't exist. If a consolidation lender promises to be non profit, you should be on your guard. All lenders require debtors to pay off more than the sum of the financial loan. The interest and origination costs are typically where the profit comes from.
Do not search for non-profit debt consolidation companies that do not exist. Rather, seek out providers which offer low fees and rates of interest. To succeed with a consolidation loan, you must incorporate low rates of interest, a good credit score, and affordable fees.
If a company is saying that they're a non profit consolidation loan service, you will need to carry out a far more thorough due diligence for them. It might look like an amazing discovery though there's typically a trap - either they will ask for huge service fees or they'll simply scam you away from your hard earned cash.
Searching for the most effective consolidation loan providers
Because of the web, it's a lot less difficult these days to discover the very best consolidation organizations than it had been in past times. You'll be able to easily choose a great company with minimal research. The main thing is to know your financial situation before making a decision. This info can help you make the ideal decision for your requirements.
If you've got a favorable credit record, you can consider Lightstream as a solution. This business gives unsecured personal loans to consolidate credit card debt. They offer the best interest in the industry - but only because they'll only approve your loan when you pass a really rigid credit requirement. If you have got no less than 5 years of credit reports, have obtained various financial debt types and also have a great credit rating, then this is a good lender to look at.
People looking for fast acceptance for a debt consolidation loan would be wise to check into Lending Club. The quick completion time of this web based loan company causes it to be a popular resource. It might take just a few days to have the loan you need. The two main variables that can influence the swiftness of your loan acceptance are how much you want and how solid your credit history is. Do not worry about doing business with an internet based service - they have got the most innovative security precautions set up so all your personal economic details are protected.
National Debt Relief is a better option for people with unfavorable credit ratings and for people who have already defaulted on their debts. This company is primarily a debt settlement company that can assist you to negotiate with the lender, financial institution, or collector. The discussion will involve persuading them to let you pay only a percentage of your account balance via a settlement deal offer. Once you've reached a deal, the rest of your debt is absolved by the company. Through debt settlement, you could considerably decrease the amount of money that you will owe.
You should always research any company you think about using for debt consolidation in Kotzebue, Alaska; though these 3 are a fantastic place to begin.

That's really cool. I was going to do something similar, but couldn't get drag and drop to work in Angular, so I gave up. If I were more creative, this is what I could have done. Kudos!
It looks fine on small screens, but on larger displays, the images stretch a bit, and their cards don't always line up. Most troubling of all, Stephen Hawkings' photo doesn't show up!

Since 2013, important reforms aimed at reducing the visibility and availability of tobacco and nicotine products to young people have been introduced as part of Scotland's tobacco control policy. These include: banning tobacco displays and promotions at point-of-sale; prohibiting the sale of vaping products to under-18s; and banning the sale of vaping products through vending machines. In addition, smoking in cars carrying passengers under 18 years of age has also been banned. However, further action is needed to embed the cultural change necessary to raise a tobacco-free generation. A consultation is also planned in Scotland on what further regulation of e-cigarettes is required, such as the restriction of domestic advertising and promotion of e-cigarettes. In a rapidly changing environment, where smoking rates among young people are falling but experimentation with e-cigarettes has increased, understanding the influence of tobacco branding and the display of tobacco and nicotine products is essential in order to develop effective policy interventions that protect young people. This briefing draws on research led by the University of Stirling's Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport, and provides insights into the relationship between tobacco branding, point of sale marketing and e-cigarette uptake among young people in Scotland. The paper will be of use to policymakers in Scotland, and further afield, when considering the next steps necessary to combat the uptake of smoking and vaping among young people. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z The impact of the Daily Mile on Primary School Children Moran, Colin Brooks, Naomi Booth, Josie Chesham, Ross Sweeney, Emma Ryde, Gemma Gorely, Trish http://hdl.handle.net/1893/30447 2019-11-12T12:08:10Z 2019-02-01T00:00:00Z Title: The impact of the Daily Mile on Primary School Children Author(s): Moran, Colin; Brooks, Naomi; Booth, Josie; Chesham, Ross; Sweeney, Emma; Ryde, Gemma; Gorely, Trish Abstract: The Daily Mile is a physical activity programme through which primary-aged children run or walk for 15 minutes every day, at a self-selected pace. First developed at St Ninians Primary, Stirling, in 2012, the initiative has grown in popularity nationally and internationally, initially driven by anecdotally reported benefits of participation. The Scottish Government's Programme for Scotland 2017-18, A Nation with Ambition, sets out plans for Scotland to become the world's first 'Daily Mile nation'. In August 2017, Ministers wrote to schools, nurseries, colleges and universities urging them to take up the challenge. The concept is easily adaptable in a nation facing significant public health challenges. As outlined in the Scottish Government's policy paper Public Health Priorities for Scotland (2018), two thirds of adults in Scotland are overweight, with the total economic cost of obesity to Scotland estimated to be as much as £4.6 billion. The paper states that action on Scotland's public health priorities will be evidence-led, applying public health expertise, data and intelligence, developing new solutions to drive a healthier nation. This briefing - drawing on three studies led by University of Stirling researchers - has the potential to inform the rollout of the Daily Mile in Scotland, including a widening of the initiative beyond the education sector. 2019-02-01T00:00:00Z Policy addressing suicidality in children and young people: An international scoping review Gilmour, Lynne Maxwell, Margaret Duncan, Edward http://hdl.handle.net/1893/30378 2020-08-13T00:07:01Z 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Title: Policy addressing suicidality in children and young people: An international scoping review Author(s): Gilmour, Lynne; Maxwell, Margaret; Duncan, Edward Abstract: Suicide is a global health policy priority. As many as 800,000 lives are lost to suicide annually, in what is arguably a preventable cause of death. The World Health Organisation's Mental Health Action Plan 2013-20 sets a target of reducing suicide rates by 10% by 2020, with member states agreeing to work towards this outcome. However, public policies instituted at national level can vary in how they translate this target into practical support. Suicide is a leading cause of death among children and young people (CYP) worldwide, with an estimated 1 in 3 children in some countries having considered suicide in the past year. Despite acknowledgment that children and young people have different needs to adults, most suicide prevention and mental health strategies take a universal approach, in which the specific needs for children and young people risk becoming lost. As the WHO's target date of 2020 approaches, this briefing paper summarises a global review of national policy documents, considering how they address the treatment and care needs of suicidal children and young people. In doing so, it highlights best practice for how policy can influence the resourcing of services, and identifies gaps in policy provision for this vulnerable population. The paper aims to support both the WHO and individual countries that wish to develop new, or refine existing policies that address suicidality in children and young people. 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Smokers' response to standardised tobacco packaging Moodie, Crawford Brose, Leonie S Lee, Hyun S Power, Emily Bauld, Linda http://hdl.handle.net/1893/29667 2019-08-03T00:00:24Z 2019-03-01T00:00:00Z Title: Smokers' response to standardised tobacco packaging Author(s): Moodie, Crawford; Brose, Leonie S; Lee, Hyun S; Power, Emily; Bauld, Linda Abstract: In May 2017, the UK became the third country to fully implement standardised tobacco packaging. The requirement was phased in, with companies given 12 months from May 2016 to make the transition from fully-branded to plain, standardised cartons. The policy was introduced by the UK Government following the report of the independent review into standardised packaging of tobacco. The Review concluded that the introduction of standardised packaging, as part of a comprehensive policy of tobacco control, would be very likely over time to contribute to a modest yet important reduction in smoking prevalence. Additionally, the UK Department of Health estimates that standardised packaging will have a net benefit to government of £25 billion ten years post-implementation. However, the review also acknowledged that its conclusions were based on limited evidence. This briefing paper, summarising one of the first studies to explore how smokers responded to standardised packaging in the UK, adds to the body of evidence on the likely effect of standardised packaging on tobacco consumption. In doing so, it provides policymakers with a robust tool by which to evaluate the initial impact of the policy. 2019-03-01T00:00:00Z

Office blocks and universities could turn pee into commercially available phosphorus and nitrogen fertilisers, thanks to a bioelectrical reactor in development by researchers across the EU.
Fresh urine contains approximately nine grammes of nitrogen and one gramme of phosphorus per litre, and the average person produces between one and one-and-a-half litres a day which currently goes to waste. Researchers believe human urine could provide 18 % of the phosphorous and 25 % of the nitrogen currently used for soil fertilisation in the EU.
'With a growing human population and almost no phosphorus reserves in Europe, we rely on imports.'
Dr Philipp Kuntke, Wetsus
By extracting these compounds rather than flushing them down the sewer, we could reduce energy-intensive ammonia production and cut our reliance on imported phosphorous ore.
'We require phosphorus to ensure the production of crops and, with a growing human population and almost no phosphorus reserves in Europe, we rely on imports,' said Dr Philipp Kuntke, from Dutch water research firm Wetsus, who was involved in the project, known as ValuefromUrine.
It's possible thanks to urine-separation toilets and urinals, which stop it being diluted by other wastewater streams.
It means the EU-funded project, which finishes next year, has been able to develop a three-step process that uses a bioelectrical reactor, called a microbial electrolysis cell, powered by organic compounds such as sugars and fatty acid which are already in the urine.
The end-products are struvite and ammonia sulphate, which are commercially available phosphorus and nitrogen fertilisers.
By the time the project ends in August 2016, the researchers hope to have designed a device that fits into a 20-foot container and can turn one cubic metre of urine into about 1 kilogram of phosphorus and 10 kilogram of ammonium every day.
Diverting urine from wastewater could also reduce the cost of water treatment, as it accounts for approximately 80 % of the nitrogen that enters treatment plants. 'If you look at the cost of wastewater treatment plants, the majority of the costs go into processes that remove nitrogen,' Dr Kuntke said
Down the pan
It's not the only way to make Europe's toilets less wasteful. Toilet flushing accounts for a quarter of European domestic water use, plus there is the infrastructure required for sewage systems and the energy used by water treatment plants.
One obvious way to deal with these issues is dry toilets – they don't use any water and the waste drops into a pit, so no sewage system or treatment is required.
A Europe-wide group of researchers has developed a new type of water-free toilet that could be used at high-frequency locations such as motorway service stations, as well as a kit toilet for remote locations and a mobile unit that can be deployed during major events.
To do this they made a bug-killing plastic and coating which smoothed the pipework to lower the risk of stinky blockages and keep bacteria and parasites in check, as well as an odour-killing biofilter.
Their work was part of the EU-funded DRYCLOSET project, and the plan is now to produce and sell the toilets commercially.
They also improved the compostability of waste by developing a way to skim off the solids and send them to a worm bed, a process known as vermicomposting, increasing the safety of compost compared with bacteria.
'In most traditional dry toilets there is no separation between urine and solids so the composting process is done by microbiological activity,' explained Isabelle Czekajewski, a research and development engineer at Sanisphère, the French company coordinating the project.
The pandemic left a visible imprint on car, bus and bicycle use – and at its height brought about cleaner city air – but it also disrupted another, less obvious but highly polluting sector: freight transport. Coronavirus plunged millions of planes, trucks, trains and ships into a massive experiment, disrupting supply chains as national borders closed and industries shut down. Researchers and industry are now looking to see if any of the changes will stick.

- As mentioned in the video, changing out Mephisto for Lunatec Dragon is the only difference in this build since the last time this deck was featured. (You can check out the deck profile with Mephisto here)
- Lunatech Dragon's skill is really useful in building up the power of your rearguards since you will be calling out a lot of units in one turn. Not only that, the extra critical from its GB3 skill forces your opponent to throw out a Perfect Guard, enabling you to focus your triggers to other units.
As always, if you have any queries, comments or suggestions, feel free to let me, Dempster or Leon know.

The G1 Arkansas Derby is the final race in Kentucky Derby qualification that awards 100 points to the winner. As a result, the final few places in the big race are still up for grabs, not least for the two horses likely to dominate the market for this absorbing contest.
As we have done throughout this series, in this final episode we present a look at the most likely winner, together with a suggested value play. The record of value plays for all races is as follows:
- Limonite (G2 Risen Star) 5th, 17.5-1
- Bourbon War (G2 Fountain of Youth) 2nd, 4.3-1
- HAIKAL (G3 Gotham) WON, 4.4-1
- Outshine (G2 Tampa Bay Derby) 2nd, 6.1-1
- Galilean (G2 Rebel Stakes Div 1) 3rd, 3.6-1
- OMAHA BEACH (G2 Rebel Stakes Div 2) WON, 4.4-1
- Spinoff (G2 Louisiana Derby) 2nd, 4.3-1
- MAXIMUM SECURITY (G1 Florida Derby) WON, 4.8-1
- Hoffa's Union (G2 Wood Memorial) 7th, 8.7-1
- Somelikeithotbrown (G2 Blue Grass) 4th, 9.8-1
- Nolo Contesto (G1 Santa Anita Derby) 4th, 16.2-1
RACE: $1 million G1 Arkansas Derby
TRACK: Oaklawn Park, Arkansas
DISTANCE: One mile, one furlong
DESCRIPTION: Regional final fed by G3 Smarty Jones (Jan 25), G3 Southwest (Feb 18) and G2 Rebel (two divisions, Mar 16)
Top choice: OMAHA BEACH
It's the writer's view that Game Winner and OMAHA BEACH are the best two 3-year-old colts in the U.S. The pair ran 1-2 in the second division of the G2 Rebel Stakes when the run of the race favoured the latter.
There was nothing in it, and Game Winner's subsequent defeat in the G1 Santa Anita Derby should do nothing to dent confidence: the son of Candy Ride was clearly the best horse in the race after discounting both ground loss, and the effect of pace multiplied by that ground loss (world #2 Mike Smith was brilliant on the winner, taking back in the hottest part of the race).
This belief will be tested here. World #2 Bob Baffert, Game Winner's trainer, pitches another really good horse at Omaha Beach in the shape of Improbable. The latter was defeated by Long Range Toddy in the first division of the Rebel, running a very similar time to Omaha Beach.
Baffert adds blinkers this time, in the belief that Improbable hung the latch in his last race here at Oaklawn. That may be the case, but both divisions of the Rebel were run at less than all-out pace for a dirt race, and it is surely a knock against Improbable that he could not hold on from a horse who did not own the same G1-winning credentials coming in. Derby horses must not just prove they can stay the longer distances thrust upon them as 3-year-olds, but they need to improve for them.
Certainly, Omaha Beach appears to be just that type of colt. Close inspection of the film last time shows that, although Game Winner closed on him in the stretch, he was actually much the stronger of the two horses after the line. Since then, trainer Richard Mandella – he of the four winners at Breeders' Cup 2003 – has been moved to excitement over the colt's works. Visually, Omaha Beach appears to be moving within himself in these workouts, but the times keep coming back as the fastest of the morning.
Value pick: GALILEAN
We did not do very well in this section last week, mainly because the three trials turned out to be pretty chalky. No excuses then, but two of the three went to the top choice, while Roadster is certainly not a horse who will ever offer value, given his sky-high reputation.
With 'must do better' on the report card – heck, we are still in profit for all 11 bets – the horse for one last hurrah is GALILEAN, who was put up in this section when running third to Long Range Toddy (inside trip there, drawn very wide today) and Improbable (likely a much shorter price here) in the aforementioned division one of the Rebel.
The writer really likes this colt. He's not, as his name suggests, by the great Galileo, but instead by Uncle Mo, who flew high in the TRC Global Rankings for sires – he reached world #7 on April 23, 2017 – before slumping to his present #77. But is still capable of getting a good horse.
Galilean may not have been quite at his best when Improbable beat him. This time, he is three pounds better off, an advantage likely to be not reflected in the odds (traditional U.S. horseplayers consider it night on irrelevant, but fortunately the laws of physics work in the U.S. too). True, he was beaten by more than two lengths by Improbable there, but, as previously pointed out, his victory in the listed King Glorious Stakes at Los Alamitos in January was much inferior to Improbable's in the G1 Futurity there over a slightly longer trip.
Galilean made all there. He is out of a mare by El Prado, and the feeling is that the Rebel did not quite draw out the stamina in him. But the main point is that he did not break sharply. See how you think that affected his chance yourself:
Surely Galilean will go well. He will need some luck to beat the top two. That is for sure. But the odds will provide some compensation for that.

Brunswick's progressive apartment design dynamic gains another devotee
Yet another Brunswick apartment development has gone to 'the green side'.
A proposal for 211-213 Sydney Road currently before Moreland City Council is hoping to convert approval onsite for a more typical planning permit to one that includes heightened environmentally sustainable design aspects. Design practice Six Degrees have taken over design duties for the site, replacing what was a failed design and marketing campaign for The Saxon apartments.
Prior to it being offered for sale, The Saxon included 24 apartments within a Rothelowman-designed project. Eventually though the roughly 600 square metre site was put forward for developers to consider during 2017.
In a sign that other developers are acknowledging the worth of what is being achieved in Brunswick from an apartment design perspective, new site owner Excelon Group has enlisted Six Degrees to mirror other cutting edge and environmentally sympathetic designs in the area, including Nightingale 3 which abuts the intended project directly to the south.
In a recent piece on Urban, Milieu Property too realised the worth in continuing the design impetus created by projects such as The Commons and Nightingale, describing the area as "on the precipice of a housing revolution of international significance." Excelon Group to this point has delivered more typical developments, with their most noteworthy being 560 Flinders Street.
The current application is a stark departure from the previously approved scheme onsite, defined by a new facade which includes operable perforated metal shutters "that will provide a coloured translucent filter" over the building's 21 intended apartments.
Design highlights for the new 211-213 Sydney Road which landed before Moreland City Council during March sees:
- A retail tenancy to Sydney Road and a commercial/retail tenancy to Saxon Street
- Preserved facade and volume of the heritage building fronting Sydney Road
- Open walkways bisecting each floorplate
- All apartments receive cross ventilation and no borrowed light
- Adjustable levels of privacy and shading due to operable facade
- Low energy consumption and thermal break design features
- Rooftop productive gardens, worm farm system and water harvesting tanks
- Zero car parks included
In Six Degrees words, 211-213 Sydney Road "is an exciting opportunity to showcase best practice sustainability initiatives and technologies in high-density living. In summary, the development seeks to provide an exemplary high-density residential environment, actively promoting ideas around community, shared spaces and environmental sustainability."
The aforementioned Nightingale 3 is poised to add further credence to the area's environmentally sustainable design credentials, whilst Nightingale Village's designs are beginning to appear at planning.
That benchmark development will see seven buildings of up to eight storeys containing 210 dwellings and multiple ground floor tenancies.

A recent study found that the average person spends nearly 2 hours a day using social media. Social media facilitates many interactions, allowing individuals to connect with friends they might otherwise lose touch with and to form new connections. Making sure those interactions are respectful and healthy is a priority of social-media companies as they seek to shape and grow their online communities. Baldwin High School alumnus Sean Brady is one of the professionals working in this vital area.
After graduating Baldwin High School in 2010, Brady went on to attend Notre Dame, where he earned bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Honors Philosophy, as well as his Juris Doctor degree. The foundation he received in the Baldwin-Whitehall School District served him well as he continued through his education. Brady shares, "the excellent English department prepared me well for seven straight years of essay-writing in college and law school. Mr. Harrison and Dr. Klein were especially helpful when it came to honing my writing and thought." Brady began his professional career as a clerk for the Honorable Margaret A. Ryan on the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the highest court in the Military Justice (Court-Martial) system.
Brady recently moved to Silicon Valley to work for Facebook in their content policy team. His team is charged with developing and applying the community standards, which govern the types of content that are and are not allowed on Facebook and Instagram. The position brought together many of his interests and was a natural fit. He explains, "during my time in Law School I spent a lot of time focusing on First Amendment law, particularly the freedoms of speech and religion. I became interested in Facebook in particular because it is the place where questions of free speech and safety online are the most visible and timely." While much of American jurisprudence is steeped in decades of case law, technology is bringing new avenues for the law to regulate. Being on the forefront of this work is something Brady finds engaging and satisfying. He notes, "I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to think seriously about free speech in the modern era and create policy to address challenges that impact the many people who use Facebook."

Summer 2019: Planning Essentials
For People With Aging Parents:
Long Term Care Concerns
All About Retirement Savings:
New York Legal Life Planning Essentials
For People With Retirement Savings
Check your beneficiary designations!
No matter what your will says, when you pass away, your retirement savings - and all of the tax benefits/burdens of those savings - pass to whomever you have designated as your beneficiary. Be careful not to let your financial institution's default rules govern by forgeting to name beneficiaries or naming them incorrectly.
What happens to retirement assets if you die before they are gone?
Retirement savings are not intended to be an inheritance tool. However, if they have not all been spent by the time of your death, properly structured retirement savings can transfer to your family with significant tax saavings & asset protection.
Protecting Your Children's Inheritance From Being Redirected
Leaving an IRA outright to yout spouse provides significant benefits in tms of withdrawal rules and taxation. Naming your spouse outright often results in a Spousal Rollover (for the benefits) which means that at your spouse's death, all of your returement savings your spouse inherited, will be passed on based on your spouse's beneficiary designations.
In an age of ever increasing life expectancy, if something were to happen to you, your spouse could have multiple decades during which remarriage is possible. Moreover, with elder abuse ont eh rise, there is no way to know who may be influencing your current spouse int eh distant future.
This may lead to yur spouse' later partner, their descendants, or an even more remote individual unconnected to you inheriting your retirement savings rather than your own children or grandchildren. This can be protected against with proper planning. If this is something that concerns you, speak with your legal advisor about protecting against redirection.
Leaving Retirement Assets to a Trust
A retirement trust can be a useful tool if retirement savings represent a significatn percentage of a person's total assets.
Using a properly structured Standalone Retirement Trust, it is possible to achieve:
The tradeoff for this protection and growth is potentially higher tax on the distributions. Trusts that hold these distributions to maintain the creditor protection are required to pay income tax on the distributiosn in the same way that the ultimate beneficiary would be required to pay tax on the distributiosn. However, trusts hit the hightes tax bracket at avery low income level (currently approximately $12,000) whereas the intended beneficiary is liekly to be in a lower tax bracket. Building flexibility inta a plan is the best way to handle this situation so that the proper decision can be made at the time of distribution based on the needs and the goals that exist then.
Creditor Protection: IRA's vs. Inherited IRA's
Retirement savings generally enjoy special protection against creditors and in bankruptcy proceedings. However IRA's inherited from the original participant (Inherited IRA's) generally do not receive this same kind of protection.
If you want your retirement savings beneficiaries to have protection from creditors - due to a beneficiary's age, possible accidents, and/or possible failed business vengures - ask your legal advisor about uding a retirement trust to hold and control these assets after your death.
Maximizing the "Stretch"
Many retirement accounts are entitled to a significant tax advantage - tax deferred growth. This meansthat the savigns grow tax free leaving more money in your account to grow over time. then, when savings are withdrawn, they are taxed as income at the recipient's then-current tax rate. Since most of us will earn less in our retirement years (or non-retirement elder years) than we do during our working years, our tax rate willb e lower when we withdraw the funds. therefore, the resulting tax will be less than if we were taxed during our higher rate years.
If properly structured, these tax advantages of a retirement account can be stretched out - not only over the participant's life but even over the lives of later beneficiaries if the participant passes away with undistributed retirement assets.
Tax on Distributions: What to Think About
When making decisions about your retirement savings, it is important to remember that you may be required to pay income tax on withdrawals from such accounts.
Though inheritances are not generally taxed to the beneficiary, the same does not hold true for an inherited IRA. If the funds are in an account whose withdrawals are taxable, the beneficiary of the funds - even if only taking the Required Minimum Distributiosn - will incur a tax bill. Additionally, receivigin the funds can raise the recipient's tax rate.
While these taxes can often not be avoided, they can be appropriately planned for and prepared for with proper guidance from an attorney and/or a CPA.

Nephritis is inflammation of the kidneys and may involve the glomeruli, tubules, or interstitial tissues surrounding the glomeruli and tubules. Living with the disease, apart from necessary medical treatment, a friendly-kidney diet plan is usually recommended to patients. Well then, can green tea in high doses cause nephritis? Now, let's have a look.
Can green tea cause kidney damage?
It is well known that green tea is a very popular drink in our daily life. Most people like drinking green tea because it contains numerous benefits.
-green tea protects your kidneys from drug-induced toxins.
-green tea is beneficial for your kidneys following ischemia, a restriction in the supply of blood, oxygen and nutrients following a stroke or blood clots.
-the tea improves kidney function in people with diabetes. Kidney disease is a common complication among diabetics.
-drinking the tea can help you prevent the development of kidneys stones made from calcium oxalate crystals.
Well then, can green tea in high dose cause nephritis?
As the matter of fact, everything has two sides, and there is no exception of green tea. In other word, too much green tea intake will cause kidney damage to some extent.why? Green tea is made from unfermented leaves of the Camellia sinenisis plant, which has high concentrations of phytonutrient polyphenols called catechins. In addition, the leaves also contain theanine, caffeine theobromine and theophylline, which will cause kidney damage if you drink green tea in high doses.
Through the above analysis, we can see the green tea is healthy and prevent kidney damage when your drink it moderation. Then, question comes again. What is the moderate intake? Actually, there is no specific answer. Because how much you can drink green tea daily needs to depend on your specific illness condition. If you have no idea about it, you can tell us your conditions and after analyzing, we will give your an individualized suggestion. Please leave a message below or email to email@example.com. Best wishes!
