Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr., Kurt Cobain, and Sonny Bono all died without leaving a valid will? Creating a will, and updating it periodically, is a good idea since unanticipated legal questions and challenges can sometimes arise after death.
Once someone dies, their estate is often handed over to a probate lawyer. If you have had to deal with a death recently and are now handling an estate, here are three tips for dealing with probate law, and for knowing when you should call in a lawyer to assist.
1. What's A Revocable Living Trust?
Revocable living trusts are estate planning tools used to establish who will receive property and possessions after a death. A living trust will avoid probate, which is court supervised, and allow beneficiaries to receive property without having to spend a lot of time and money in court. What can't a trust do? Trusts cannot name children's guardians, name executors, or leave instructions for how debt should be handled. These are the benefits of leaving a will, instead.
2. What is an Estate Planning Attorney?
Estate planning attorneys specialize in handling estates before and after death. They advise clients on how to get their affairs in order, so that their wishes are honored in case of future mental disability (such as persistent vegetative state) or death. An arranged estate plan will include a power of attorney assignment, a living will, and a will. Many plans will also take an inventory of financial assets.
3. Should You Hire a Probate Attorney?
Although many families would rather avoid probate, since it involves both time and lawyer fees, in some cases, it is highly advisable to hire a probate attorney. Although will contests are statistically rare, they do occur and can become ugly legal spectacles. Lawyers can help prevent a contest from racking up huge court fees and tearing a family apart. If the estate in question does not qualify for "small estate" procedures, or if the assets include complicated titles like business deeds, then a lawyer can be useful.
Is your will or living trust in order? Let us know in the comments.

Image List: Portfolio I: Train Pipes
Kodak TMX
@ 50 1/2 E.I. developed (N+1) in ID-11; ~1s @ f/11; Mamiya RB67 Pro-S,
90mm lens, #8 yellow;
2004 Los Angeles, CA
I shot this at an outdoor train museum in Los Angeles. The man at the gate didn't really want to let me through with my large Gitzo tripod and he actually thought that my Mamiya was some sort of video camera. It took a few minutes of explaining to convince him that I was not shooting video, nor was I scouting for a new movie. Typical Los Angeles for you. Most of the engines and cars in the area were coated in hundreds of layers of paint, which I have never liked. I always wish that they would just allow these beautiful machines to age gracefully, rust and all.
I found this composition hiding under one of the box cars, an area they neglected to over-paint. What particularly caught my eye was the wonderful textures of the corroded tank in contrast with the woven pipes coverings. This is actually the last image on the 10 image roll, and the only one which I included the dark area along the bottom. This image requires very little dodging and burning, all of the darker tones are actually there on the negative.

Many people decide on an MOTORHOME when having a road vacation or taking place vacation. Having your own personal living space and not having to rely about hotels may be a powerful way to save funds. In inclusion, you steer clear of any problems with bed pests or not to be able to sleep as you are in the strange spot. An RV offers you an item of home to adopt with you traveling. However, an MOTORHOME is big and will be difficult. You must take alongside another vehicle so you can get around once you can your vacation spot, too. An alternate option that offers you perks of your RV minus the hassle can be a travel movie trailer, like people from Bowlus Path Chief LLC. Here's a review of the features of a vacation trailer.
Better to Use
The greatest advantage above an RV can be a travel trailer is significantly easier to utilize. You catch it in your vehicle's hinderance and unhook that as necessary. You can easily unload the particular trailer once you can your destination and drive your car or truck wherever you will need. You don't must worry concerning running products, so it really is much better to maintain. The most you need to do will be replace devices that lose their freshness. There is not any engine perform or pricey repairs.
A lot more Versatile
A vacation trailer can be more adaptable. RVs can be large. They require plenty of room to create and may be difficult to match into several campgrounds. Any travel movie trailer, like people from Bowlus Path Chief LLC, doesn't hold the same concerns. They usually are compact, for them to fit directly into any common camping whole lot. They may also be simple to create, so you may get comfortable swiftly. If an individual roll in to a park during the night, you won't become disturbing every person by creating as you could in a great RV.
In case you are planning any road trip or even a camping adventure, it is worth it to take into account a vacation trailer coming from Bowlus Path Chief LLC as opposed to an MOTORHOME. You acquire freedom as you can repulse the trailer from the vehicle and go wherever you want. In inclusion, set up is easy. There aren't as much components to concern yourself with either. You don't provide an engine or perhaps other physical issues showing up. Maintenance is straightforward and storing can be easier. You may get your vacation trailer all set to go quickly without plenty of work. Once you can your vacation spot, unhook, open that up and you also are ready to get a good, soothing time.

Re: How much is the failure to add a local tax line costing you?momskico Oct 1, 2019 2:26 PM (in response to casitacynthiasantafe)
VRBO just began collecting and distributing tax to the state of Colorado today. I checked and saw that they don't have our local metropolitan district tax included in the fee so every payment going to the state will be short. Customer service said that I just need to contact each renter, let them know there is an additional fee and collect those dollars separately. Oh sure, customers won't mind me telling them the rental will be more than what they signed up for. We'll be paying that out of our rental earnings as well. Which is really a double whammy because VRBO will report those dollars as income even though we are actually paying it out as tax dollars.
It also messes up the payment to the state for us. Colorado has an on line tax form, they collect for the state, county and local taxes and distribute them to the proper place. If I put in the amount of rental income I have, it will want to automatically calculate what I owe in state and county tax which VRBO will be collecting and remitting. I anticipate quite the headache trying to pay my quarterly taxes until they figure this out. One would think that since they have experience with other states, VRBO should have this down to a science by now. It shouldn't be difficult to add a local line item. Why would state rates and county rates be doable, but not local? Even if we have to remit it separately out of dollars VRBO collects and sends us, they should be able to collect it along with everything else. In fact, under the "taxes collected in Colorado" tab, VRBO states they are collecting local taxes, though they aren't. They are just collecting state and county.
VRBO still has instructions on how to change the tax you are collecting, but the fields they tell you to use to do so are not there any longer. I suspect they were disabled when they became responsible for collecting in Colorado.
Re: How much is the failure to add a local tax line costing you?wkm2a Oct 1, 2019 6:52 PM (in response to momskico)
I have 2 properties in Colorado. On one of them the taxes were correct. On the other one, which is in the exact same neighborhood and almost next door, the taxes were incorrect. They were adding a 1% local tax that does not apply to my properties. I called CS and they fixed it immediately.
I would suggest calling CS and telling them which tax they are missing and they will add it for you. Maybe this is wrong but I am assuming I do not have to pay taxes or report revenue through revenueonline anymore for CO? Please correct me if that is wrong.
Re: How much is the failure to add a local tax line costing you?momskico Oct 15, 2019 1:05 PM (in response to wkm2a)
I have called customer service and hit the feedback button. I also asked to speak to a supervisor, but they wouldn't let me as they say there is nothing they can do about it and that they don't usually collect local taxes in any state (in my case it is a metropolitan district that should be getting 1%). Before they went live to collect taxes starting October 1, I had my rate set at 5.4% which was correct. It currently shows as collecting at 5.4%, but it shows them distributing at 4.4%.
Ironic that they were charging you an extra 1% local tax for a property in Colorado while insisting to me that they can't add a local tax in any state. I have spoken with 3 different reps at 3 different times about this issue and they all say the same thing. Just a 1% to your quote for it, that would be fine but that isn't a solution with the "book it" button activated.
I'm concerned how revenueonline will work in this instance as I'm sure it will kick back me paying local metro district tax, but not county or state. Ugh!
Re: How much is the failure to add a local tax line costing you?momskico Oct 15, 2019 1:12 PM (in response to wkm2a)
Also, you will still need to pay through revenueonline for this 3rd quarter and for any bookings you already had prior to October 1. They said I'll have to file separately for all bookings that I already have for the winter months. They will only collect and pay for bookings made October 1 or later. I'll need to take a snapshot of the bookings I have now to know which I'll need to account for separate from their system over the next 2 quarters.
Re: How much is the failure to add a local tax line costing you?casitacynthiasantafe Oct 31, 2019 8:06 AM (in response to casitacynthiasantafe)
I am filing my City of Santa Fe Lodger's Tax for October, 2019, and I will be writing a check for $371.25 for my October Lodger's Tax. One of my three October bookings was direct, and I was able to charge the guest the 7% Lodger's Tax and the 8.4375% State of New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax. Two of the bookings came through VRBO after July 1, when they stopped collecting the 7% Lodger's Tax, only collecting the 8.4375% Gross Receipts Tax (which they illegally call "Lodging Taxes" on the traveller's invoice). So that means I will be paying $218 in Lodger's Tax out of my own pocket. Added to the $199.25 in Lodger's Tax that I paid out of my own pocket for September, 2019, I have now paid $417.25 in Lodging Taxes out of my pocket. All it would take is the addition of a "Local Taxes" line to allow me to collect this money from the traveller as I did before July 1, 2019. This is just going to get worse.
This programming failure has cost me $417.25, and counting...

Letters to the Editor: April 21
Endless sorrow
I endorse Douglas Cuthand's column The loss of a child never leaves you — you must get through it, but you never get over it (April 17). You never get over it.
Recently deceased Western University law professor Earl Palmer, whose elder son drowned years ago, confessed he still cried when alone in his car. We lost a son at 18 in 1974.
To all the bereaved parents referred to my psychiatry practice over the years my message was the same: "You never get over it!"
Mary McKim
Agency can help
Douglas Cuthand eloquently shares the challenges faced by parents when a child dies. He is correct when he says, "You never get over it."
Bereaved Families of Ontario – Southwest Region, based in London, is an organization that gives testament to this startling reality. We are bereaved parents, supporting each other and our families in our grief journeys. Each of us is unique, yet similar in grief, regardless of the circumstances of death or age of our child. Our wide variety of no-cost programs and services has helped the healing begin in London and area since 1984.
For a supportive and encouraging place to share your grief experience, we can be reached at 519-686-1573 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Cathy Howe
Executive director
Bereaved Families of Ontario-Southwest Region
Cultural covering
I disagree with the connection between the April 16 POV headline Quebec's police-hijab debate isn't just theoretical and the first sentence. A hijab is not religious but rather cultural. The Qur'an advises women to dress modestly, but there is no requirement for any head covering. The hijab was used in desert areas many centuries ago to keep sand out of the hair.
Dave Mathers
St. Thomas
Few disrupt many
In his letter Off-target worries (April 17), Scott Bell asks the question "Who buys a house near a gun club and complains about the shooting?" The answer is "Someone who would never imagine that this activity could be sanctioned within the city!"
Realtors don't use this as a selling point, by the way. Perhaps people should not be populating Byron, River Bend or Oakridge. In addition to the safety concerns raised by Keven Kusch, there is loud and disturbing noise that must be tolerated by the Hunt Club's neighbours. It would seem that as the city grows outward so should some functions such as slaughterhouses and pig farms, and munition storage.
Why should many families be subjected to this disruption for the enjoyment of the few who participate in this activity?
Eileen Clark
Toxic workplace
A toxic environment can destroy an organization, resulting in the loss of talent, morale, productivity and stress leave. No one should feel that they cannot speak out or enjoy their workplace due to vindictive selfish individuals.
Harassment in the workplace, specifically in City of London municipal establishments, is an epidemic that needs proactive solutions and major change.
I feel the article LFP Longform: Harassment backdraft (March 24) puts in perspective how vast and long-lived this issue has been rooted in city hall, and also highlights solutions of the past and possible solutions of the present and future. Articles like this highlighting the problem in detail and also giving solutions are imperative to finding a real solution to workplace harassment at city hall.
Owen Bains
Be prepared
This past ice storm, which exposed the deficiencies in our electrical grid, was a good warning that we must be prepared for severe weather events and lack of utilities. An emergency kit consisting of the basic necessities of life to sustain one for 72 hours should be standard in every home.
Thanks to advances in technology and for about the cost of central air conditioning, homeowners can have a natural gas fuelled generator installed that supplies power automatically to a residence when power is out.
This is a good time to take stock of emergency supplies and be prepared for future severe weather events.
Harvey Easton
Port Stanley
Costly guards
It makes absolutely no sense that we have the London fire department standing guard over a downed power line in advance of it being repaired. This consisted of a fire truck and a full complement of fire personnel at a high hourly monetary rate as well as being outside their intended purpose. I'm sure overtime charges will apply as a result of this costly activity.
London Commissionaires should have been deployed to oversee the guardianship of the power lines, which would have been just as effective, more logical and certainly cost effectual.
However this does beg the question: Do we have fire folks patrol the city in close proximity to their respective fire station and issue parking tickets during those times when they are not attending to firefighting activities as they obviously have the time?
John Peake
Drug-cost dismay
Having paid my fair share of income tax during my adult working years, I felt I should take advantage of what the government is providing in terms of pharmacare.
However, much to my dismay I have found out that four out of five drugs prescribed by my physician are not covered under this seniors' health care plan. I understand that.
However, recently I underwent surgery and was prescribed two medications by the physician who performed the surgery. One was an antibiotic and the other was an anti-inflammatory. These were mandatory for the healing of the surgery. Much to my surprise, the antibiotic was covered under the provincial drug plan, but the anti-inflammatory was not. It was an expensive drug that was necessary for my post-operative treatment.
While I can claim this amount on my tax return next year, that does not solve the problem that I had to pay full price for a drug which was mandatory, not elective, for a surgical procedure.
I would like to know who governs what drugs are covered by the Ontario seniors health plan.
Genevieve Grech
Reckless spenders
Canadian politics really drives me nuts. I've transcended partisanship long ago because I find little that differentiates the parties. They'll pledge to throw money at a problem they don't understand hoping it will go away. The problem doesn't get solved, there is less money and (big surprise) somehow we have more bureaucrats.
The recent campaign pledge of the NDP to throw more money at health care neglects to understand what is wrong with health care. Talk to anyone working in that sector (who doesn't have an MBA) and they will tell you it's become top-heavy with bureaucrats all to the detriment of patient care.
I'm not singling out the NDP; I have little faith in any party. They just pledge improvements until they get your vote, then they decide how they can recklessly spend your money and call it "free."
Stephen O'Connor
Don't spoil setting
Regarding the article Medway Valley plan riles environmentalists (April 17).
As a child, I regularly explored the Medway Valley. At that time it was known as Dead Horse Canyon. Despite my forays into the valley, I never found a dead horse. I did spend countless hours enjoying the unspoiled green space so close to home where I could follow the creek and wander through the natural setting.
The city now proposes to develop the valley and disturb the ecology. There is no way the installation of bridges and paths will not do that.
Gil Warren, a city activist, says that given that there is no consensus within the committee and therefore no recommendation to go to council, and further given that there will never be consensus, get on with it. I always thought that if there was no consensus for change, the status quo prevailed.
Leave the valley alone!

No place in parade
Regarding the article Ex-chief rips Pride parade's police uniform ban (April 16).
Uniformed police will not be part of this year's Pride parade and former chief Brad Duncan is upset. But why? They never had any business being there in the first place.
It is the role of our police to impartially enforce the law. They have no business demonstrating their virtue, or that they are on the right side of history by marching in anyone's parade.
If the former chief was proud to see his uniformed officers marching in the pride parade, then he should be equally proud if they marched in a right to life parade. OK with that?
And if it is righteous to march in the Pride parade, then surely uniformed officers can appear in ads supporting a righteous political party. Uniformed OPP officers openly supported the Liberals in the last election, and no doubt will do so again. OK with that?
DF Steers
Free daycare fair?
Both the Liberal and NDP parties offer free or almost free daycare for pre-school kids in their Ontario election platforms, outlining huge future costs associated with both the build-out and expansion of only government facilities to host these spaces and annual union-run operating costs assigned to operate the programs.
Both target a self-made government problem over the past five years, which has increased the regulations in licensing private daycare facilities to the point where supply is lean and costs increases are beyond the reach of young Ontario parents.
Ontario voters need to ask what exactly is fair about transferring the cost of daycare for parents on the Sunshine List or parents who can already afford these pre-school spaces to taxpayers through increasing the debt or taxes or why the government should have a monopoly in this space?
As a resident of North London, every morning I walk past one of these preschool government-run daycare centres and have to dodge Land Rovers, Mercedes and high-end BMWs with moms outfitted in gym attire . The only winner here will be CUPE with the opportunity to shut down close to 30 per cent of Ontario's economy with a leveraged walkout.

Gaming jobs grow
Regarding the article Western Fair casino cuts jobs with expansion plans stalled (April 13).
Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.'s service providers, including Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Ltd., Ontario Gaming GTA Limited Partnership (OGGLP) and Hard Rock Casino Ottawa, are creating jobs in communities across the province.
Gateway expects its new gaming site in Chatham will create around 200 new jobs. OGGLP expects that if expanded gaming at Woodbine is approved, it will create thousands of new gaming and non-gaming jobs. In addition, a new casino resort in Pickering will employ more than 2,000 people. The redevelopment of Hard Rock Casino Ottawa is expected to create nearly 4,000 direct and indirect jobs.

What Others Are Saying
My overall impression of The Book of Herman Volume One:
To experience true, personal and spiritual freedom and real,
lasting personal peace is something many people will never
experience in their lifetime. So many people are skeptical and
live life without stopping to smell the roses. In Chapter One,
Jim questions why he was asked to write such a book. I believe
it is because of who he is. Jim is a man with passion and it is
conveyed nicely in the pages of this book. He mentions he has a
love for The Truth and this is evident throughout the book. Jim
seems to be a man whose zest for life is like none other.
He makes the reader believe that they too can experience the
Divine in the same manner in which he and his co-author Trish
It is obvious to me that Jim and Trish have done their homework with this book. It is well planned and carefully written. The manner in which Jim writes is wonderful. He uses a narrative voice that is friendly, familiar and warm. He never talks "at" you but shares his life's experiences leaving you wanting to experience what Jim and Trish have first hand.
Jim reminds the readers to become reconnected with themselves because (as he so nicely puts it) the truth is out there and sometimes right in front of you but you are often too busy to notice. We must all rediscover our Oneness. I personally enjoyed the reflections Jim offers to the reader at the conclusion of each chapter – especially chapter 2: "To know who we really are, we must experience who we are not."
Jim has some amazing reminders about the meaning of life. Somehow I think our society has almost "deadened us" to that in a way. Jim mentions that he once was spiritually asleep and unconscious. Most of us walk around doing what we are expected to do in terms of what society expects us to do. We really don't understand the "why" behind what we do… we just do it automatically (for instance, going to church) because someone says we should or because other people are doing it. I must say that I would not believe that anyone could ever have an Adventure With The Divine in the manner in which Jim and Trish have without their stories as examples of the limitless possibilities. Placing the soul in the baby for instance, that Jim and Trish talk about in Chapter Nine..... I cannot imagine what that must have been like to witness.
The book is easy to believe and is written with a genuineness that is hard to find in the written word today. Why was he chosen to write this book? I think the answer is clear. It is his purpose. No one would have believed a Rabbi, a Preacher or a Minister. That is their perceived job. Jim, on the other hand, is an ordinary man and he says so himself in the introduction. Yet he and Trish have had these experiences, often together, and have taken the time to share their experiences with others. This says so much about Jim and his Truths.
One chapter talks about meditation and how important it is to have a meditative practice. Meditation is such a wonderful means to reconnect. It is true that it can be a difficult practice to master. Jim does an excellent job helping the reader to learn this skill along with many others including, what I think is the most important, learning what it takes to be truly happy.
With all of that being said, I must say that Jim has put together a fantastic resource here. I am a firm believer in learning from other people's life experiences. I really think he is on to something with his book and that many people will find solace in his work. In our society today we need wisdom like Jim's to be passed on and we also need something to believe in. Our world is very different today. The way Jim and Trish share their stories and wisdoms and present their ideas and findings is simply fantastic! He really does have a beautiful writing style. Jims words come across with a certain presence that I cannot put into words. I can tell that Jim has done a significant amount planning and preparation in crafting his work. He has really considered his audience in his writing by adding details and adding a voice that leaves you feeling like we just chatted over coffee. He does not preach but rather "shares". Jim has crafted an excellent piece here; one that should be well received by a wide audience. Bravo on a piece well crafted!
"A revealing book for anyone seeking truth on a spiritual path. It makes you think, ask questions and seek answers. Highly recommended."
- D. J. Conway, Author, Moon Magick, Celtic Magick, Wicca, The Complete Craft and many other popular books.
"Jim Buckman's The Book of Herman stirs the deepest part of the true Self into welcoming wakefulness. It asks the tough questions that turn our truths into beliefs, our beliefs into knowledge, our knowledge into wisdom, and our wisdom onto yet another path to finding the Divine in ourselves and in all beings. An essential addition to any spiritual seeker's bookshelf."
- Edain McCoy, Author, Advanced Witchcraft, The Sabbats, and Celtic Myth & Magick
"Engaging and insightful, The Book of Herman presents in depth concepts of the Divine and how the Divine is expressed within our universe in clear and understandable language. It is obvious from the first page that the authors seek to show you how you can understand what your place in this Divinely unfolding universe is and how you can create your own destiny."
- Karen Harrison, Author, The Herbal Alchemist's Handbook

Frock Swop
Rise of the Sharing Economy.
Let's face it - we all have too many things. As our world deals with excess waste and overconsumption, 'sharing' has now become a viable economic system.
When Frock Swop approached us to help bring their vision to life - our team was super excited. Like them, we are passionate about doing our bit to reduce waste and help our environment.
Their idea was - Share.Wear.Rinse.Repeat!
Our team created a stylish logo branding and a customised Marketplace Website, which allows users to swap clothing. The site features:
- customised web design - a personalised shabby chic look to reflect the brand positioning and showcase the clothing collection.
- advanced tools for categorising and filtering content
- dashboard to manage individual account - for sharing and swapping
- development of "currency sharing" - there is no monetary exchange, through the concept of owning a "hanger".
- secure online payment platform for donations.
Only recently launched, the website is taking the digital world by storm. It is mobile-optimised and there has been a 62% increase of traffic coming from mobile devices complemented with traffic from social media platforms. With a quality website and the ability to easily update the clothing collection, Frock Swop is now ready to grow exponentially. The site will help place Frock Swop in the forefront of the collaborative consumption of the "Sharing Economy" and we are thrilled to be part of it.

A major component of building data warehouses is ETL development. Typically, building ETL packages ends up taking longer time to develop or modify. However, Microsoft also provides an API that will help in alternate ways of SSIS development and thus help us to develop or modify ETL packages faster than the typical way of using SSDT. This session is to give an overview of the SSIS object model and suggest some ways of using it for our benefit.

I went to a number of supermarkets yesterday, looking for bottles of Probiotics, I didn't mind about brand and discovered something quite unexpected.
All manner of brands were on the shelf, Yakult, Activa, Benecol, etc, yet none of them showed the word probiotic on the label.
They are all yogurt drinks some claiming to lower cholesterol.
Probiotic yogurt
My hunt concluded with the purchase of an ASDA branded cholesterol lowering blueberry probiotic yoghurt drink. Am I any further on – I'm not sure.
Today I'm going to the clinic where I see some of my clients (with others we work over Skype or the telephone) and will be checking it out with the owner (among other roles she is a trained nutritionist) as think she can help unravel this digestive enzyme puzzle.
Here's a definition from Wikipedia:
Probiotics are live microorganisms thought to be beneficial to the host organism.
According to the currently adopted definition by FAO/WHO, probiotics are: "Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host".[1] Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria are the most common types of microbes used as probiotics; but certain yeasts and bacilli may also be helpful.
Probiotics are commonly consumed as part of fermented foods with specially added active live cultures; such as in yogurt, soy yogurt, or as dietary supplements.
I'll be back later with an update:
Later the same week
I spoke to Alison Lingwood (wearing her nutritionist hat) and she revealed the drinks I found in the supermarket (even the one that was labelled as probiotic – from ASDA) are not probiotics at all.
You can buy supplements at the health food shop which is what I went on to do and came away with something from a brand called Udo's Choice – Super 8 Hi-Potency Probiotic and here's the wording on the label:
Formulated to sustain the gut flora balance and offer immune support, especially beneficial for intestinal health. I found it contained the essentials such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. But this is a long way from the ingredients contained in those yogurt drinks that make such claims. I now wonder how they fare with the claims for lowering cholesterol in these same products? Anyone?
More to be revealed me feels and this alone demonstrates both the importance of reading labels and the inadequacy of current standards where imparting reliable information is concerned. It further proves the necessity for Joe Public to don their deerstalker hats – magnifying glass in hand – and trawl the inadequate food labelling in search of a lack of information in order to intuit the authenticity of foods and food supplements.
Who would know it was 2011 … c'mon Food Standard Agencies it's time to pull your fingers out. Never mind the good and bad gut bacteria, it seems to be more a question of which manufacturers are providing the good and non-existent probiotic cultures in their products?
Changing unwanted patterns with all-things-food makes an enormous difference to everything else, especially how you feel about yourself.
When it comes to making better decisions, addressing what stops you is a very good place to start. Are you ready to take the helm?

But the Boatyard crew, along with team members, suppliers, and with assistance from the other teams in the race, have readied the boat for racing in near record time and early on Saturday afternoon, it returned to the water.
"We're grateful for the support we've had from the other competitors and everyone who has helped out," said Scallywag skipper David Witt. "It's a real testament to the character of the people who do this race."
"It's great to be able to get Scallywag back in the water in time for the start," said Neil Cox, the head of the Boatyard. "We needed everyone to pull together to make it and as you would expect in these circumstances, that is exactly what happened."
Both SHK/Scallywag and Vestas 11th Hour Racing retired from Leg 7 and had their boats sailed to Itajaí by delivery crews. After quick turnarounds, both are now ready to re-join the fleet for the 5,700 nautical mile race north to Newport, Rhode Island.
It promises to be a challenging leg, with light winds in the forecast for the first days, followed by tradewind sailing leading into the final doldrums crossing of the race before the final push north to the highly anticipated Newport stopover.
"Newport is a sailing mecca of the United States," said Charlie Enright of Vestas 11th Hour Racing. "People are passionate about their sailing there and it will be an amazing experience. We want to get a great result sailing into Newport and I'm really looking forward to it. "
The leaderboard is tight, with a new team on top as Dongfeng Race Team take over pole position from MAPFRE by just a single point.
"One point is nothing because as we have seen in the last legs, things can change very quickly and the race is far from finished," said Dongfeng skipper Charles Caudrelier.
"But it's very positive to be on top now because since the start I think it's been a bit frustrating for us to always be just behind MAPFRE. It's good for the team spirit and motivation. Nothing is better than a good result to give us extra energy to finish the race."
Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18 --- Overall Leaderboard after Leg 7:
1. Dongfeng Race Team (Charles Caudrelier), 46 points
2. MAPFRE (Xabi Fernández), 45 points
3. Team Brunel (Bouwe Bekking), 36 points
4. Team AkzoNobel (Simeon Tienpont), 33 points
5. Sun Hung Kai Scallywag (David Witt), 26 points
6. Vestas 11th Hour Racing (Charlie Enright), 23 points
7. Turn The Tide on Plastic (Dee Caffari), 20 points

About the Evolved Romanian CapitalBucharest (Bucuresti), the capital of Romania, is the center of cultural life, art, communication, and research of the Romanian people. The city is beautiful, offering a lot to do and a pleasant atmosphere. The impressive architecture and the prestigious reputation that has stuck to the city were based on the fancy designed buildings, with influences from different styles and periods, parks, village views, large avenues and lakes surrounded by big lakes.
Bucharest my no longer by the "Paris of Eastern Europe," in the past years it has been going through a rejuvenation. More and more new sites are being added, cultural, commercial and industrial, that are quickly bringing back the color to the city.
All this is along the magical and ancient history of the city, that begins as an ancient city with many different churches, and continues to the victory gave, the famous avenues, neighborhoods on both banks of the Dâmbovița River, modern museums and vibrant nightlife, and of course many attractions - clubs, fashion, concerts, jazz music, great restaurants, theaters, casinos, and more.
And so, Romania, a wonderful tourist destination in itself, has a capital that offers a lot to its visitors. There is a wide and unique variety of sights through the city, reserved only for Bucharest.
See all the attractions by clicking on the tag Bucharest.
History of the CityThe tough blows of World War II destroyed the city and damaged it deeply. The age of the Communistic rule did not help its rehabilitation. The toughest blows came from the works of the Communist tyrant Nicolae Ceaușescu, who destroyed large sections of the Old City of the city, including rare buildings, for the good of building a massive and meaningless large building, that severely hurt the look of the city.
After the fall of the Communist and the bringing down of the tyrant, in the city there were remnants of his stupidity and close-mindedness - the City Hall, the wasteful large building, the second largest in the world, a monument to the difficult times that the country suffered under the Communist rule.
Bucharest's efforts to get itself out of the abandoned stage it was in thanks to the Communist rule and a harsh earthquake in 1977, is still not over. And still, slowly Bucharest is becoming a new city, it is renewing, and connecting to its former elegance.
Today's Bucharest is a beautiful and enchanting city, with modern areas and ancient buildings. The modern design is slowly replacing the abandoned walls, the falling apart ruins and the gray design of the former rule here.
Origin of the Name BucharestLegend says that the origin of the name is Bucur, a shepherd who amazed people by how he played the flute. The locals in the city were so impressed, they began calling the city Bucur, after him, which also means happiness.
SavingFree trips are conducted by Walkabout Free Tours, leaving from Unirii Square, and are tip based.
FoodFrom the Romanian kitchen, try the dish Sarmală- stuffed cabbage with white or dark meat with rice. Mămăligă is also very popular- a sort of porridge with sour cream and shredded goat cheese. We highly recommend the Romanian kebab, called Mititiei, Vinete Salata-eggplant salad, and Ciorbă soup. For drinks, try Ţuica- peach brandy, and Pálinka-fruit brandy.
In Bucharest and Romania don't try the luxury restaurants. The best of the Romanian kitchen can be found in local popular restaurants.
TransportationBus No. 783 from the airport to the city and back operates 24 hours a day, at the price of 3.5 Leu.
A machine of ordering taxis at controlled prices is at the airport.
Taxis from the airport to the city center should cost about 10 euros, and inside the city around 15 euros. Have cash of 5 and 10 euros, so the drivers can say they don't have change.
Taxis in Bucharest - take only the yellow cabs with the "Taxi" sign on their car, and a license number starting with the letter 'B'.
Make sure the taxi has the price per kilometer written on the door, and no more than 1.6 per kilometer.
Ask to turn on the taximeter.
At the end of the trip, as a receipt (Bon Va Rog), which many times prevents any tricks.
Tips for drivers can be calculated by rounding up the price.
Cheaper tickets for rides, weekly or monthly tickets are for buses, light rail and metro. They can be purchased at kiosks and need to be stamped each ride.

The University of Notre Dame may have undermined its legal case against the contraceptive mandate in Obamacare by approving a student health plan that covers abortifacients, the National Catholic Register reported, citing legal experts:
"The university need not provide student health insurance at all," said Gerard Bradley, a constitutional scholar at Notre Dame's law school, who outlined the options available to university administrators.
Bradley noted that only group health plans must comply with the mandate. Consequently, the university also had another option: It could have opted to self-insure the plan for students and avoid coverage of services that violate Catholic teaching. …
"In its pending lawsuit about the employee and staff health plan, Notre Dame has said that its Catholic faith forbids it to arrange or facilitate coverage for contraception and abortion," Bradley said.
"Yet when it comes to student health coverage, the university has chosen to facilitate and arrange coverage for contraception and abortion. The court hearing Notre Dame's lawsuit will surely notice this inconsistency."
Part of the problem is how long the school waited to challenge the mandate after its original suit was thrown out as premature:
[Alumni group leader William] Dempsey contended that Notre Dame's 11th-hour petition prompted the judge to question the university's sincerity. That skepticism, said Dempsey, will be reinforced in the wake of the latest news regarding the student health plan.
"Notre Dame has declared in court that to do what it is doing now would be scandalous. And it is doing this voluntarily," Dempsey emphasized, echoing concerns raised in the alumni newsletter.

We Need to Change Our View of Trust
—We need to do it now and we need to do it on a permanent basis—
In the time it takes you to read this article I want to change your view of trust. Why? In the hundreds of investigations that I have done, in many different countries and cultures, I can say without hesitation and unequivocally that misplaced trust, and the basis upon which it is given, is the single most significant reason why more financial fraud does not get detected on a more timely basis. Change your view of trust and you will become much better at performing your control and audit responsibilities. It's really that simple.
