Life Settlements – Smart Strategy or Risky Business?
Maybe you've heard the TV or radio ads offering to buy your life insurance policy and wondered what that was all about. The industry term for such a transaction is a life settlement. Simply put, a life settlement is the sale of your existing life insurance policy to a third party. They're similar to viatical settlements, which emerged during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, but unlike viaticals, life settlements target people who are 65 or older and generally not chronically or terminal ill. A life settlement is a perfectly legal transaction, based on the U.S. Supreme Court's finding way back in 1911 that established life insurance policies as private property that could be transferred by the policy owner without limitation. But are they a smart strategy or risky business? Like so many things dealing with investments, it depends.
How Life Settlements Work
You enter into an agreement with a life settlement provider who pays who a sum greater than your policy's cash surrender value but less than its death benefit. You get a cash settlement, and the buyer gets your policy, assumes the premiums and, when you die, gets the death benefit. Life settlement providers must be licensed in the state where you, the policy owner, resides.
Good Reasons to Opt for a Life Settlement
According to LISA, the Life Insurance Settlement Association, more than $100 billion face value of life insurance held by people over 65 lapses each year. Rather than lose out after paying premiums for years, LISA says a life settlement might make sense under the following circumstances:
- You can't afford the premiums anymore
- The need to replace your lost income for your beneficiary if you die doesn't apply anymore
- Your term policy is nearing the end of its coverage period
- You need cash for medical expenses
- You want cash for lifestyle reasons
LISA strongly advises that you talk with your financial, legal or insurance advisor about tax, legal and other consequences before you sell your policy.
Reasons to Think Twice before You Sell Your Life Insurance Policy
Jim Miller, creator of Savvy Senior, a syndicated information column for Boomers and Seniors, cautions anyone thinking about entering into a life settlement to take these facts into consideration:
- You should understand that the cash you receive will depend on a number of factors including your age, health, life expectancy, the type of policy you're holding, premium costs and policy's value. Most sellers, he says, usually get just 20 to 30 percent of the death benefit.
- Life settlements are taxable income if the cash surrender value of the policy exceeds the premiums paid on it. Death benefits paid to your beneficiaries, on the other hand, are generally tax-free.
- The cash received from a life settlement can affect your eligibility for Medicaid, food stamps and other public assistance programs.
- There may be fees associated with the life settlement, so be sure to shop around and get quotes from several credible providers or brokers. He suggested LISA as a good resource.
Good Source of Cash but Not for Everyone
FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, concludes that "life settlements can be a valuable source of liquidity for people who would otherwise surrender their policies or allow them to lapse–or for people whose life insurance needs have changed. But they are not for everybody." FINRA warns that you should proceed with caution, especially if you may have ongoing life insurance needs after you've settled. Your age, health and other factors could make it difficult or cost prohibitive to get a new policy. Because the policy you sold is still in effect, it may impact your ability to get additional coverage. They suggest you consider other options. These include a 1035 Exchange, which lets you switch one life insurance policy for another or accelerated death benefits, available if you have long-term, catastrophic or terminal illness. You might also consider cash value withdrawal or a loan against the policy's cash value.
Life settlements are a moot point if you don't have a policy to sell. You can learn more about available life insurance products and shop for quotes online here.

School cuts a priority after the election
The problems for our schools are very real and very immediate, ranging from no money for glue sticks right up to considering closing earlier in the day simply to save money. All parties should commit to tackling this growing crisis.
The joint union website www.schoolcuts.org.uk has been highlighting the extent of the problem. With 93% of schools affected by the current funding proposals, there is scarcely a school or sixth form in the land that won't be worse off. Parents have been incredulous and dismayed at the begging letters for money or resources that head teachers have been forced to send out.
This is no way to run an education system.
Teachers and parents will be going to the polls on Thursday. Whoever wins the election can rest assured that, unless sufficient funding for our schools is provided, the vocal and strong campaign against school cuts will continue and grow ever louder.
Kevin Courtney, General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers (NUT), said: "The real and pressing problems of school funding need to be addressed with urgency. It is simply untenable that head teachers should have to continue to struggle on with the lack of funding that is so negatively affecting the education of our children and young people. The Labour Party have committed to a summer budget if they get elected. This is something that all parties should sign up to."
Dr Mary Bousted, General Secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), said: "Parents as well as education staff can see the effects of funding cuts and are deeply concerned about the extent to which this will continue after the election. It will be naïve of politicians to think this problem is going to disappear next week. The solution is simple – if we want to educate our children well, in appropriate environments, with excellent teachers and sufficient resources, then schools need funding to keep pace with costs and with pupil numbers. Action to redress school budget cuts will be needed as soon as the new Cabinet sits down to plan the next five years."

My second Allerton wedding of the year! Sarah and Mike had a perfect spring day for their outdoor ceremony in the Sunken Garden. As guests assembled, I played a variety of classical music. For the wedding party processional, they chose the theme from "Jupiter" from Holst's The Planets. Sarah's entrance music was the Scottish folk song "Loch Lomond."
They both love Debussy's "Clair de Lune," so even though it isn't a traditional, fanfare-like recessional, it was a beautiful send-off after their personal ceremony. Guests gathered for a group photo, and I loaded up the harp to head back to the mansion!
With only a short time between the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the reception, I did a partial set-up in the mansion before taking the harp to the gardens. As that was ready to go, I just needed to drop off the harp, park my van, and start playing! Harp bench, music stand, and my sound system were already waiting for me.
The bride and groom didn't have any specific requests for the cocktail and dinner hours, just a mix of classical and popular songs. This ranged from Dvorak's "New World Symphony" to "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles! The harp is versatile enough to provide music for your wedding covering genres that will appeal to all of your guests – classical, jazz, Celtic, rock, popular, and more.
I've played for dozens of weddings at Allerton Park, in the mansion and throughout their many gardens. If you are planning a wedding there (or anywhere in Central Illinois), please contact me about providing music for your ceremony and reception. Check my website – Central Illinois Harpist – for details!

Colder weather always puts me in the mood for soups and warm comfort foods. Brie is one of my favorite cheeses, and I recently got a slice of brie on clearance from the grocery store. We were in the mood for mac 'n cheese, so I created a rich and flavorful brie, bacon & rosemary mac 'n cheese. My husband declared it a winner and said it's definitely a dish we should have again!
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. whole wheat flour
1 cup milk (I used 1%)
1/4 cup heavy cream or half & half
8 oz. whole wheat elbow pasta (I used Barilla Plus)
4 slices bacon
6 oz. brie cut into pieces, rind removed (I use a vegetable peeler to shave off the rind)
1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped finely
10 crackers (I used Toll House)
Salt & Fresh ground pepper to taste
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbows and boil until tender, according the package directions. Drain.
Chop 4 slices of bacon and saute over medium heat until crispy & browned. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tbsp. butter. Mix in the 2 tbsp. of whole wheat flour until well blended to create a roux. Slowly add the milk, whisking to combine and removing any lumps. Stir in the cream or half & half. Bring the mixture to a boil. Turn heat down to a simmer and add the rosemary and brie, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
Mix in the cooked & drained elbows, then stir in the bacon.
Preheat the broiler to low. Spray a casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Spread the mac & cheese mixture into the dish. Crush the crackers and sprinkle on the top. Broil on low until golden brown and crispy on top.
rosemary sea salt rolls.
Now, if this chillier weather would just bring our first big snow!

BAM-FX (Bio-Available Mineral Formula-X):
- A commercially available, liquid micronutrient product that no other company can offer. This patented and next generation technology was originally developed for NASA astronauts to grow fresh, robust and nutrient dense food crops in space. BAM-FX offers substantial agricultural benefits here on Earth.
- BAM-FX enables the efficient uptake of its perfectly paired 7% zinc and 2% copper minerals directly into the cells of plants, which results in increased yield and quality, plant stress tolerance, nutritive value and, in some crops, a reduction of NPK fertilizer requirements.
- Bam Ag Solutions has conducted extensive field trials worldwide on a large variety of crops across a broad range of climates and conditions that have consistently demonstrated the enhanced value and efficacy of using BAM-FX as a part of a grower's program.
How BAM-FX works and why it's different:
- Whether applied by soil drench and/or foliar spray, it's the bioavailability of the minerals that makes our product different.
- BAM-FX is a positively charged Zinc and Copper solution balanced together in a specific ratio, along with ~25% Sulfate and ~0.2% Ammonia.
- This unique blend of positive electrical charge combined with the most bioavailable forms of these elements (Zn, Cu, S, N) results in far superior absorption and utilization of available minerals.
- It has a low pH, which stimulates root growth.
- BAM-FX increases performance, in some cases with a reduction in NPK application.
Other features:
- BAM-FX can be applied alone or in combination with other products, such as standard NPK fertilizers and fungicides.
- BAM-FX tank mixes well with liquid fertilizer and other commercial standard farming practice products.

Making Chocolate Candy Making A Solution
Hmmm..., what type of candy making chocolate to use...?
It's one thing to learn how to make chocolate candy that is appealing to the eye. It's a whole different story when selecting the perfect chocolate for your candies.
It seems like some chocolates overall taste, aroma, texture, mouth feel, and flavor introduce a broad range of characteristics with each and every brand.
But there's always that one elusive aroma. A special chocolate blend that antagonizes the senses.
You know, the one with a warm luring scent, the one that beckons the tongue and you, to create a perfect, one of a kind, homemade chocolate candy recipe.
Where is that one anyway?
You see, every manufacturer picks a unique combination of cacao beans (cocoa beans) that ultimately make up the basic chocolate.
Additional ingredients such as spices, vanilla, milk powder, sugar, etc. may be added which make up the composition of different chocolate types.
But, my taste and preferences may differ from yours; yours may differ from others, and vice versa. The amount of chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, and cocoa solids that each type of chocolate contains are big factors these days.
If you are new to confectionery, or just can't seem to settle on a type of candy making chocolate, consider trying some sweet chocolate, from any given chocolate company to see if you like the aroma, texture, mouth feel, and flavor.
Try bittersweet and other special blends they may have to offer, and pay attention to subtle milky, fruity, spicy, or other specific flavor notes they may contain.
Graduate down the list of chocolate companies and try each type (sweet, semisweet, bittersweet, milk, white, etc.) to see which of them fits what you truly envision the quality of your candy making chocolate to be.
Some of the manufacturers of chocolate may be willing to send you a sample of their types (maybe). Others won't send samples to the public unless a minimum order is made. A work around is to find a supplier if your intent is to go into the chocolate candy making business.
Get use to the distinctions of each type of chocolate has. From the gradual flavor of extra fine chocolate and organic chocolate to the smooth and creamy compound chocolates, deciding which to choose is one of the best parts about chocolate... and you get a better understanding of what you might like to use. Just like eating tasty mistakes..., it's yummy chocolate experimenting fun!
Some companies may have chocolate flavored coatings (compound chocolate) with cocoa butter replacers, so be aware of what you are going to purchase.
Compound chocolate coating is a great moulding chocolate and works well with chocolate candy molds.
These types of coating chocolates are not real chocolate however, but they do make a great starting point if you are new to confections or just want to practice without tempering.
Presentation of the chocolate candies that you make will also have a lot to do with the consumer likes.
A variety of candies with a range of popular flavors (cream centers, caramels, nuts, fruits) go a long way in the decision making process.
I kept experimenting with different moulds and concepts until I came up with the simple custom chocolate candy designs that were easy to accomplish with the overall chocolate candy.
I believe you can too! Remember, it's about you and your style, so find the chocolate that fits your personal taste and run with it.
So "what type of candy making chocolate to use...?" Any of them! It's personal!
Happy Sampling!

My research at the Gray Area Foundation for Art and Technology is all about Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. I've been working on learning Unity for mapping with AR and 3D with VR. My two VR headsets are Cardboard and HTC Vive. I was looking through some of my magazines for inspiration and I remembered a copy of NEST that I have from the year 2000. It had am AMAZING room in that issue with people who had scratch off clothes on the cover. I've always wanted to live in that room and in fact I tried recreating it in my own room and car (in college). So I thought, why not make it in VR?
I started working in Unity and then got majorly sidetracked by trying to make 3JS work, but I had some trouble making the multi sided cubemap that would be the walls of the room. And it seemed like cardboard was set up to work with Unity anyway, so I did that. I will try to get it running on 3js and share it out with the public when it is a little further along.

The St. John Fisher Community Garden has been put to rest for the season after having a remarkable harvest for the 2016 growing season. Many tomatoes, carrots, green beans, peppers, lettuces and basil were grown and donated to the town of Marlborough Food Bank. In total, our garden donated over 235 pounds of vegetables!!
A big thank you to all of our faithful volunteers who came to help out on Monday evenings and also to the indispensable volunteers who helped to keep the garden watered on this very hot, dry summer. Your participation was much appreciated.
The garden committee will start making plans for next year in the spring of 2017 and we hope that more parishioners will get involved. It is a great way to help others and you do not need to be a gardener to join in. All ages and abilities are welcome. Hope to see you in the spring!

From the R44, the Webersvallei Road meanders through historic Jamestown and its unique, tranquil surrounds to reach a breathtaking jewel: Aan de Weber.
The character of this rural outpost is steeped in a history that is still evident today. On 1 May 1902 – shortly after the Boer War – Rhenish missionary Jacob Weber and local businessman, James Rattray, acquired two sections of the farm then known as Blaauwklip. Original housing was built next to the unique narrow waterway erven that flowed outwards from the Webersvallei Road. The rural village that sprang up to the south was called Jamestown.
Aan de Weber offers her prospective residents one of the last opportunities to snap up a new address in the sought after surrounds of Stellenbosch. It is widely acknowledged that there is a rapidly dwindling supply of suitable land for property development in the area:
- Situated off the R44, between Stellenbosch and Somerset West;
- Just seven minutes from the historic centre of Stellenbosch;
- A quick five minute drive to Mediclinic;
- A stone's throw from the Stellenbosch Square shopping centre (including a petrol station);
- Somerset West, with its ample shopping mall, is just 15 minutes away;
- Numerous schools just around the corner!
- De Zalze Golf Estate is 'over the road', while the well known Techno Park is a mere three minutes drive away.

Drivers urged to take time out to enjoy their lunch, as more than six in ten admit eating at the wheel
Drivers are being urged to take a break and enjoy their food away from their vehicles, as road safety charity Brake and Direct Line reveal more than six in ten (62%) have eaten at the wheel in the past year. Three in ten (29%) unwrapped food themselves at the wheel - a telling symptom of busy lifestyles putting lives at risk. Studies have suggested eating a meal at the wheel increases your risk of a devastating crash as much as talking on a phone.
Brake and Direct Line's survey of 1,000 drivers reveals that in the past year:
The numbers of UK drivers eating at the wheel reflects a wider trend towards eating on the move, as lifestyles become ever more fast-paced. Britons have been found to spend more on food eaten on the move than any other country in Europe, with our continental neighbours more likely to take time out to enjoy meals.
Brake and Direct Line's survey shows it's not just meal times being squeezed by our busy lifestyles, as one in five drivers (20%) admit to doing their hair, applying make-up or otherwise tidying up their appearance while at the wheel. One in 20 (5%) admit doing so in free-flowing traffic, risking appalling crashes.
Eating at the wheel is part of the wider problem of distracted drivers, believed to contribute to around one in five crashes (22%). Drivers who attempt to multi-task at the wheel are two to three times more likely to crash, and complex tasks like unwrapping and eating a burger increase the risk even more. The consequences can be deadly, as in May 2012 when cyclist Joe Wilkins was killed by a driver who was eating a sandwich.
Brake urges all drivers to give the road their full attention and save any other activities for regular breaks, which should be at least every two hours on long journeys. Brake also calls on government to make traffic policing a national priority to stop multi-tasking drivers putting lives at risk. Recently introduced on-the-spot fines for 'careless driving' offences are a step in the right direction and have already been used on a lorry driver brushing his teeth. However, Brake argues the current £100 fine needs to be much higher to effectively deter this potentially deadly behaviour.
Julie Townsend, deputy chief executive, Brake, said: "Driving is the most complicated and risky thing most of us do on a regular basis, so it is vital we give it our full and undivided attention; we can't afford to treat our cars as an extension of our kitchen or bathroom. Eating at the wheel often means taking your eyes, hands and mind off the road and dramatically increases your chances of crashing and killing or seriously injuring someone. Drivers need to take regular breaks and make time away from their vehicles to enjoy lunch or perform other tasks. We are also appealing to government to increase fines for distraction and careless driving offences, to stop risky multi-tasking drivers."
Rob Miles, director of Motor at Direct Line, commented: "It's imperative that motorists focus their full attention on the road. There has been significant research into the increase in drivers' reaction times while talking on a mobile phone, but other in-car distractions that take the driver's attention away from the road can be equally harmful. We advise motorists to always build in time for a break if they are going on a long journey, and use this time to refuel with food and drinks as well as with petrol."
Brake's advice
Distraction is deadly. Drivers need to keep their mind and eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel to drive safely. Giving into distractions is a bit like drink-driving: it affects reaction times and control, and could easily cost someone their life.
Eating and drinking on the move might seem harmless but research shows it reduces our ability to react quickly. Eating should be a pleasure, so take the time out and savour your meals when you're not driving.
On long journeys, stop for breaks every two hours and use that time to eat, catch up on phone calls and messages, and do any personal grooming you need to do. When you get back in the car, your mind should be completely back on the road.

Ingelo, Nathaniel (DNB00)
INGELO, NATHANIEL (1621?–1683), divine, born about 1621, was apparently a native of Bristol. He graduated M.A. at Edinburgh, was incorporated on that degree at Cambridge in 1644, and on 11 June of the same year was appointed fellow of Queens' College by order of the Earl of Manchester. He is said to have been examined by the assembly of divines at Westminster. He was chosen Greek lecturer on 24 June 1644, junior bursar on 31 Jan. 1644-5, and dean in 1645. In December of the latter year he was granted leave of absence for a year, and ceased to be fellow before 6 Oct. 1647. On 18 March 1650 he became fellow of Eton. Wood asserts that he was at one time fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge (Fasti Oxon. ed. Bliss, ii. 174). Ingelo was a great encourager of music, and skilled in it himself. He lived at Bristol after leaving Oxford, and administered the sacrament to a small body of dissenters who met in Christmas Street, but he is described as `giving offence to the rigid notions of the communicants by his careful attention to dress, and especially by his love of music. To a remonstrance upon which species of indulgence Mr. Ingelo replied: "Take away Music, take away my life'" (John Evans, Chronological Outline of the History of Bristol, Bristol, 1824, p. 192 note). When appointed chaplain and 'rector chori' to Bulstrode Whitelocke (whose acquaintance he made during the latter's recordership of Bristol) on his embassy to Sweden in November 1653, Ingelo carried with him some compositions of Benjamin Rogers [q.v.], who obtained the degree of Mus.B. at Cambridge in 1658 through his intervention. Rogers's pieces were played several times before Queen Christina. On leaving England Andrew Marvell addressed to him the most elaborate of his Latin poems, which he also translated into English (Marvell, Works, ed. Grosart, i. 403-13). When Ingelo departed from Sweden the queen presented him with a gold medal. In 1658 he proceeded D.D. at Oxford. He was readmitted to his Eton fellowship on 12 July 1660 (Harwood, Alumni Eton. p. 76). He died in August 1683, aged 62, and was buried in Eton College Chapel (ib. pp. 73-4; epitaph in Cole MS. 5831, f. 55). By his wife Mary he had four or five sons and a daughter (will, P. C. C. 114, Drax). Two of his sons, Nathaniel and John, were scholars of Eton and afterwards fellows of King's College, Cambridge (Harwood, pp. 256, 260). He was the friend and correspondent of Dr. John Worthington.
Ingelo was author of a religious romance entitled 'Bentivolio and Urania,' 2 pts., fol., London, 1660, of which other editions appeared in 1669, 1673, and 1682; two sermons which were printed in 1659; and `A Discourse concerning Repentance,' 8vo, London, 1677. He composed a Latin poem called 'Hymnus Eucharisticus,' which, set to music by Rogers in four parts, was performed on 5 July 1660 in the Guildhall, when the corporation of London entertained the royal family and the two houses of parliament (Hawkins, Hist. of Music, ed. 1853, ii. 583, 933). In 1739 Francis Peck published 'Nineteen Letters,' written by Henry Hammond, D.D., 'to Mr. P. Staninough and Dr. N. Ingelo,' but only the last letter is addressed to Ingelo.[Cole MS. 5873, f. 6; Chalmers's Biog. Dict. xix. 232; Worthington's Diary and Correspondence (Chetham Soc.), i. 36, 112, and elsewhere; Whitelocke's Swedish Embassy (Reeve), i. 77, and elsewhere; Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1652-3 pp. 125, 130, 487, 1653-4 p. 164; notes kindly supplied by the Rev. Dr. Luard and the Rev. W. G. Searle.]


text: Share: Comments Print August 22, 2013 at 6:25 AM The insidiousness of false accusations Posted by Jonathan Martin For those who forget the insidious damage of the Wenatchee Sex Ring, the excellent Danish movie "The Hunt" is required viewing. The film chillingly depicts the crumbling life of a kindergarten teacher, played by Mads Mikkelson (famously the Bond villain in Casino Royale), as a single unsubstantiated accusation of sexual abuse metastasizes into a witch hunt. The utter conviction that the girl was telling the truth – even after she recanted – recalled for me the inverted meter of justice used during the now-infamous Wenatchee Sex Ring, and one quote in particular, attributed to a Child Protective Services supervisor, during that investigation. "It's well known that children are telling the truth when they say they've been abused. But [they] are usually lying when they deny it." The Wenatchee case – 42 adults arrested on 29,726 charges of sexually abusing 60 children – became a textbook case of what not to do. It led to reforms in interviewing techniques of child victims, more than 20 lawsuits and countless criminal appeals. In all, of the 26 people convicted of felonies, 18 won on appeal or pleaded guilty to far lesser charges while their appeals were pending. The Northwest Justice Project, headquartered at the University of Washington law school, was instrumental in the cases. Among them was Cherie Town, one of the first arrests of the sex ring, along with her husband. She was convicted of child rape, but as evidence emerged that she'd been coercively questioned into a false confession, Town agreed to an Alford plea to a lesser charge, without admitting guilt. Like Mikkelson's character in "The Hunt," Town is still dogged by the case, years later. Despite no subsequent offenses, she served 20 days in jail because she let the child of a friend sleep overnight, a violation of her probation. Last year, she struggled to have her name struck from the sex offender registry, according to the Wenatchee World. I don't want to let loose a spoiler for "The Hunt," but the tone and atmosphere of a town gripped by fear is eerily similar to Wenatchee in the mid-1990s. Go see it. Comments

We are SO excited to share these images that Nikki Santerre Photography captured of our first annual Holiday Wrap Bash - A gift wrapping party hosted in the Scott's Addition neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia. As avid Christmas lovers, hosting a holiday-related event has been at the top of our to do list since Tart was just a twinkle in our eyes.
We spent the past several months (Christmas in July? Try Christmas in May!) gathering bits & pieces to fill up our decoration stations, creating what can only be describe as a curated decorating experience for Wrap Bash attendees. Any time we stumbled upon a quirky bundle of yarn, an especially great color of pom pom or adorable miniature baubles of any sort, we picked it up & added it to our stash. It was actually like Christmas morning when we gathered the supplies we'd been collecting for months & saw that it was quite the coordinated collection of decorative items.

How leaders take us on a journey
A symphony for success
As an Executive Manager, Laszlo is responsible for a very diverse team, which includes Business Analysts, Programmers, and even Quantitative Specialists with PhDs. So when it comes to leadership, what does he think ensures a team can be successful?
"Think about an orchestra's conductor. He makes no sound but everybody relies on him to make something beautiful. When they shine, you shine, so you need to be aware that you're all on a journey together. Therefore it's important to give people purpose: selling the story or a vision so that your team trusts and follows you. Then it's up to you to awaken the potential in others."
Laszlo also recommends building a working environment where you feel comfortable enough to challenge and learn from each other.
"For me, four key traits of a leader stand out when trying to build this environment:
1. The ability to hire people who can offer diversity in thinking and experience
2. Encouraging collaboration without agenda or distraction
3. Empowering people to make their own decisions
4. Commitment to being open and experimental in your approach"
Laszlo Peter
Executive Manager, Institutional Clients and Equities Technology, Enterprise Services
What is leadership?
For Satinder, Executive Director Payments & Cash Management, good leadership starts with assembling a great team.
"After the right people are in place, you need to set a clear direction, discover who the people are, then coach and support them.
"Then it's important you share your greater experience and different perspectives to help open your peoples' eyes to ideas and opportunities they may not discover on their own, so they can make more informed decisions about their own career path. Often this means encouraging them to leave your team – in my opinion no manager should put deliverables ahead of their peoples' career opportunities. Chances are you'll work with them again in the future and when you do, you want them to be the best they can be and still be passionate about their work.

Last week we released our latest National Property Hotspots Index charting property demand across the UK. As well as an analysis of the back end of 2015, we also analysed how UK property demand had behaved across the whole of last year.
As always, the research secured some great coverage in the press and you can download the full report below.
City A.M featured the research, focussing on the growing demand for property in the London commuter belt.
The Times featured the research, both online and in print, again with a focus on the growing demand for commuter belt property, highlighted by Bedford featuring in the top 10 for the first time.
The Times Scotland also ran the research both in print and online, with a focus on the declining property market in Aberdeen.
The commuter zone increase was a popular aspect of the research, with it becoming the focus for many of the other regional, trade and consumer publications, including the International Business Times.
The research was also featured in print in the Telegraph as well as a number of regional titles such as the Cambridge News.

Visioneers remix of 4hero's The Action is our Song for Sunday.
"Nice, smooth and easy". That's how the YouTube uploader describes Visioneers' remix of 4hero's The Action and we couldn't have put it better ourselves. The track is featured on 4hero's 2004 The Remix Album, a double-disc LP containing tracks remixed by 4hero and 4hero tracks remixed by others. If you've never heard of Visioneers, they are in fact a group project comprising of Brad Somatik and 4hero drummer Luke Parkhouse. Personally, I think the rhythm section of 4hero's music post-Two Pages is massively underrated, considering their pioneering work in the drum & bass genre and it is showcased superbly on this remix.

There's just something about being out in the heat, getting your hands dirty, and getting your produce straight from the source. Some of my BEST childhood summer memories are of the giant vegetable gardens that I was expected to help with every year. I'm sure my mom is reading this right now and having to pick her jaw up off of the floor. Maybe she didn't realize that my whines, complaints, and general annoying child behavior were actually the makings of good memories. 😉
I'm trying to give that same dirty hands experience to my own kids and luckily they're doing it with a lot less whining and complaining than I ever did! We live in an area where real farms are just a short drive down the road, each one specializing in something unique. If you want to pick blue, black, or rasberries, Dr. Young's Pond Berry Farm in Angier is THE place.
To pick at Dr. Young's Pond, you don't have to pay a picking fee or anything like that. After parking, make your way to the farmstand and let them know you'd like to pick. The friendly faces behind the counter will give you buckets to use and pass on a few tips and tricks for getting the best berries. They'll actually walk you out to the field and make sure you know where each type of berry is growing and how to find the ones ripe for the pickin'. You stay out in the rows of berries, pick until your buckets are full (or until you've gotten the amount you want), then head back to the farmstand where they will weigh your loot and let you know your total.
A few things to keep in mind when you head to Dr. Young's Pond Berry Farm:
- It is hot. You will be outside. Dress apporpriately and bring some water to drink.
- You are charged per pound for berries. Keep each type separated into different buckets as you pick.
- You must pay with cash or check only.
- Dr. Young's Pond Berry Farm hours vary. Check out their Facebook page for updates or visit them online.
- Blueberries are the easiest to pick and definitely in the greatest supply right now. Blackberries and rasberries are still around though especially if you get out there early.
Here's my biggest piece of advice: get out there with your family, get sweaty, and get pickin'. It's an incredible family expereince and one that will build memories to last a lifetime. Not to mention, you'll leave with some of the tastiest berries I've EVER had.
– Check out Dr. Young's Pond Berry Farm on Facebook.
– Check out Dr. Young's Pond Berry Farm online.
– Wondering what to do with these AMAZING berries? Try putting them in this delicious blueberry cobbler cake recipe. It's pretty easy and oh so yummy. 🙂

Mission Policy
St John the Baptist District Church Council - Extra Meeting to decide on Mission Policy
and Mission Giving on Monday 9th July 2012 in the Upper Room
Purpose of the meeting: To decide a) the St John's Church mission giving policy and b) the percentage to give away to mission and charitable giving. This is in response to the request from the PCC for all five DCCS to report back on the same to the September PCC meeting.
The discussion: The meeting worked it way through the Report of the Mission Policy Subcommittee commenting as it progressed. Paragraph and page numbers that follow refer to this fourteen page report. (This is available on the Parish website, under the mission tab.)
Page 1: The crisis that provoked the report, of greatly reduced mission giving, was noted to be very real for St John's
Page2: It was agreed that the expectation of the Church giving 10% outside the parish dated back to the 1960s and had been reaffirmed in extensive discussion in 1997.
Pages 4 & 5: It was agreed that the five marks of mission were a useful way of thinking about mission and a sermon series on them could be recalled. The placing of church activities in the two coloured rings (inner blue for within the parish and outer red for outside the parish) were agreed to be valid with suggestions for more additions e.g. Tower tours. There were some who felt that all church life was mission in some way or another, and others who felt that this dumbed down the distinctiveness of mission.
Pages 6 & 7: Discussing the Biblical basis of tithing provoked a significant discussion during which two key points were made.
Page 9: The hidden mission giving table was noted as being illustrative of the mission giving to activities both within the parish and beyond. The figure of £53,494 of the Parish Share being for Mission was disputed, but it was noted that even if that was reduced by half, that still left £40,000 of hidden mission giving – a total of 11% of total income in 2010.
The discussion ranged over other issues before coming to a final resolution:
Page 11: In arriving at the proposal it was noted:
The Resolution agreed at the end of the meeting:
For 9; Against 5; Abstentions 1
