Why aren't more media companies offering job sharing to get experience back in the door?With the media industry churn and talent drain a constant issue Lucy Formosa Morgan asks why more companies aren't open to job sharing. There's rarely a shortage of applicants for coordinator positions however when it comes to recruiting experienced middle / senior level people, the talent bank seems to dry up. Agencies can struggle to fill vacancies for months or end up having to recruit from overseas. So if we have plenty of juniors that we're devoting time and money to training up, where are they going? Why is there such a shortage of good talent out there?
Marketers are the ones whose reputations are most at risk if they are complicit in scam advertisingWith questions being raised over the integrity of some awards entries in recent weeks, former creative director Darren Woolley says scam can be as damaging for marketers as the agencies involved. Scam awards entries have come to industry attention again, following the most recent Cannes Lions Awards. In the process, several high profile advertisers have been associated with their agencies' entries. But what are the implications for the advertiser? It is a standard response that advertisers are not really interested in creative awards. But the fact is that marketers are human and those that have healthy and close working relationships with their agencies actually enjoy seeing them being recognised, especially for work they may have created together.
Terry Savage defends debated Cannes Lions entries saying 'Super Bowl ads run once'In a Q&A conducted by email, Terry Savage, chairman of the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, defends the integrity of the competition and answers questions around scam ads following an investigation by Mumbrella into a series of ads from Australia entered into the Press category which ran just once in regional media. What is your definition of scam? "We require the work to have been approved by the client and to have used paid Media in the execution, if there is a query we get validation via the agency the client and the Media schedule that the work has run and complied within our entry rules. In the case of self promotion and NGO that is not the case."
Australian Women's Weekly editor on how its latest cover has changed industry attitudesThe cover of the July edition of the Australian Women's Weekly features the image of ultra-marathon bushfire survivor Turia Pitt, a move which surprised many in an industry driven by image. Editor-in-chief Helen McCabe spoke to Miranda Ward about how the cover came about, and its effect not only on the public, but also the beauty and fashion industries as we. The July cover of the Australian's Women's Weekly has done more to market "what the heart and soul of the magazine is" than anything else the magazine's editor-in-chief Helen McCabe has done in her five years at the helm. Speaking to Mumbrella about the July edition which featured Turia Pitt, a survivor of the bushfire that swept through an ultra-marathon in Western Australia's Kimberly region in September 2011, McCabe said the cover is "a really strong signal to market that this magazine is committed to Australian women, quality stories, independent journalism, long-form story telling and quality writing.
If you don't want to enter real work into awards, then fuck off and be an artistIn this guest post, awards jury veteran Matt Batten, a former ECD of Wunderman Australia, argues that the practice of scam advertising - raised by Mumbrella in recent days - hurts the whole industry. Reading from 10,553 miles away – that's 16,983km in the metric – I'd like to commend you on your dogged determination to find answers to the burning questions surrounding some of Australia's most intriguing Cannes Lions winners this year. Some say that this is the way of the world (at least our small part in it) and that creativity should be let free upon the award shows regardless of whether or not it was a legitimate response to a brief or a proactive project to help solve a genuine business problem for a real client – or a made-up ad for a brand that had no idea of its existence.
Does culture really eat strategy for breakfast?Good startups often point to their culture as a driver of their success, but Eaon Pritchard asks whether that culture can be derived without a clear strategy? Culture, in an organisational sense, is usually interpreted as the collective behaviours, attitudes and beliefs that — when mixed together — create a particular set of norms within said organisation. Obviously there can be 'good' culture and 'bad' culture.
Five things Wicked Campers needs to do online right nowWicked Campers has been in the midst of a media controversy over the last few days. Sebastian Vasta takes a look at how the brand could better manage the online and media crisis. The latest cry to end Wicked Campers' misogynist toilet humour is certainly not the first time the budget backpacker van company has been in trouble. But it's certainly the loudest the online outrage has ever been.
Cut here: Reshaping the ABCAfter the ABC unveiled its first round of cuts after having its funding cut in the last budget Ben Goldsmith of the Queensland University of Technology looks at how it might look in the future, in this cross-posting from The Conversation. Monday's announcement that the ABC will make 80 positions redundant is just the latest move in an enforced process of change to the public service broadcaster. It has a long way yet to run. The announcement finally put the lie to Tony Abbott's election eve pledge, live on national television, that there would be "no cuts to the ABC or SBS". In concert with other recent announcements, it seems clear that public broadcasting – and in particular the ABC – is squarely in the government's sights.

The future of Facebook is forensicMarketers should stop using Facebook as a mass reach tool and start thinking about conversions not conversations argues Jack Smyth. Forget conversations – the future of Facebook is forensic By now you're probably sick of the same articles recycling the same Facebook statistics. Over 12 million Australian users, spending on average 8.5 hours every week and so on. We all know Facebook offers massive reach.
Two stats about Netflix that should scare Foxtel and QuickflixWith US streaming site Netflix poised to enter the Australian market next year Andrianes Pinantoan from Pocketbook crunched some numbers to see try and ascertain what the local pay-TV market already looks like now. Netflix is set to enter the Australian market, but that doesn't stop a few enterprising Australians from accessing it now. Actually, it's more than a few.
Family Feud's return confirms the state of game shows in AustraliaIn this cross-posting from The Conversation Matthew Wade argues the return of Family Feud shows Australia's TV networks are not interested in testing their audiences intellectually. Family Feud returns to our television screens tonight as part of Ten's desperate scramble to remain a viable entity, and is scheduled to compete with Seven and Nine's main news bulletins at 6pm.
An open letter to the staff of DDB Sydney and Saatchi & Saatchi SydneyIn this open letter, Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes reaches out to the many excellent staff working at the award-winning agencies DDB and Saatchi & Saatchi. So last week, you may have noticed we gave some coverage to your Press Lions-winning work on behalf of McDonald's and Panasonic. Congratulations again. Some of you even got a namecheck in the credits. I'm talking to you,
You want fries with that? Creative careers are still out there, for nowYoung people from poorer backgrounds looking to get into careers in creative industries could be amongst the most hard-hit by the government's new 'earn or learn' social security policies argues Ruth Bridgstock, senior lecturer at Queensland University of Technology in a cross-posting from The Conversation. The old jokes about creative arts and humanities graduates serving at the local fast food outlet are hard to put to rest – they speak to long-held concerns around the value of creative degrees, and to worries that students of creative arts programs aren't employable when they graduate.
25 things that have changed about journalism during my quarter century as a hackMumbrella's Tim Burrowes began his media career 25 years ago today. He reflects on the changes journalism has seen during that time. A quarter of a century ago, I was feeling pretty nervous. A shy 18-year-old, who tended to blush if somebody spoke to me, I'd somehow mumbled my way into my first job in newspapers.
Ten appoints Beverley McGarvey chief programming officer
Ten's acting chief programming officer Beverley McGarvey has taken on the role on a permanent basis.
McGarvey has replaced David Mott, who left the company in August.

Shes brilliant. She'll make an instant difference to ten now she's in charge of programming.
Offspring is the best program on Channel 10. Hopefully she increases its profile and bring other strong Australian shows like that to the front
I look forward to seeing some great programs joining channel Ten. Agreed Laz, Offspring is the best show on Ten at the moment, I'd love to see some more Aussie television programs instead of the American trash that constantly invades our screens.

EURO TRADE S.r.L. is the Italian company which specialises in the manufacturing and distribution of Italian high-end wrist watches with original and innovative design features. The company was founded in the 1996 in Treviso, Italy, by Mr. Franco Zuccon, the actual President, and Ms. Maria Luisa Joppi, both enthusiastic connoisseurs of time-pieces. Today the company's European headquarters are located in Roncade (Treviso), Italy.
Mission and Vision
The brand's philosophy speaks volumes on quality and exclusivity. VIPTIME ITALY attracts both demanding male and female clients that are attentive to novel ideas, who are seeking a refined, fashionable watch, which at the same time is not too engaging or pricy, but which also conveys a high-end market status. Through careful product placement, VIPTIME ITALY is now worn by trend setters, sports and show business personalities and international jet setters. At the heart of the company's mission lies the fidelization of its clients - an exclusive target to whom innovative, successful and modern collections can be proposed in timely fashion.
As a result of its steady growth, today the company is composed of an articulated structure that includes an administrative location, order processing offices, a logistics arm for both domestic and European orders and sales offices in Italy and abroad. The group is able to cover the global watch scenario thanks to a prestigious distribution network in Europe, Middle East, North and South America and Japan. The distribution strategy is also very selective, as it favours quality over quantity. That is why VIPTIME ITALY can only be found in the most exclusive jewellery shops. Here the company is looking to consolidate its results and expand its commercial operations. The brand's international success is testimony to the company's presence at the key trade fairs (i.e. Las Vegas, Basel, and Hong Kong).
The company has always sought to offer to the market sector's leading national and international companies a product that embraces both design and technology. Over the past twenty years the company has grown steadily, and has now created its own brand. Thus, in 2005, 'VIPTIME ITALY' was born, featuring a winning mix of the best high quality watch movements and Italian design.
Year after year, thanks to the fundamental effort put in by an experienced and innovative team, EURO TRADE has achieved significant results which have led to high quality standards and original, trendy designs that meet the tastes of a most heterogeneous clientele, which is not only made up of time-piece buffs and collectors, but also by sporty-type customers with an eye for technology and quality. Through VIPTIME ITALY the company has obtained promising results, while launching a new way of thinking about luxury watches as affordable accessories.

Over the last few years the healthcare ecosystem has revolved around innovations in Electronic Health Record (HER) based systems. This evolution has helped us achieve much desired interoperability. Now the focus is shifting to other equally important aspects – scalability and performance. While applying cloud computing environments to the EHR systems, a special consideration needs to be given to the cloud enablement of Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), i.e., the largest single medical system in the United States.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

|Helen Toren, 79
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Helen M. Frances, 79, formerly of Middle River, died on Wednesday, December 8, 2004, at the CNC Unit, Northwest Medical Center in Thief River Falls.
Funeral services were held on Monday, December 13 at the First Lutheran Church in Middle River, with Pastor Curt Matz officiating. Casket bearers included Mark Lundquist, Wayne Smith, Ron Kiesow, Debbie Ornquist, Rick Korpi and Larry Korpi. Honorary casket bearers included Helen's grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Interment was held at Spruce Valley Cemetery in Middle River.
Helen Mary Frances Toren, the daughter of the late Benjamin and Mary (Kochowski) Brinkman, was born on May 29, 1925, in Lombard, Ill. She attended school and grew to womanhood in Arlington Heights, Ill., and was baptized and confirmed in the Christian faith.
On February 9, 1945, Helen was united in marriage to Melvin Toren in Waycross, Ga. Following their marriage, the couple moved to a farm in Spruce Valley Township of Marshall County, near Middle River. Melvin passed away on May 30, 1969, and Helen continued her home on the farm until 1972. She then moved to Thief River Falls where she worked at Arctic Enterprises for several years, and at the Valley Home for seven years.
In the mid 1980s, she moved to Middle River, where she was a member of the First Lutheran Church and of the Middle River American Legion Auxiliary. Helen had resided at the C.N.C. Unit of Northwest Medical Center in Thief River Falls since this past March.
She is survived by four sons: John (Linda), of Grand Forks, N.D., Gary (Marg), of Alvarado, Jim, of Middle River, and Dale (Pam), of Thief River Falls; 10 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; one brother, Walter, of Lincoln, Ill.; four sisters, Marie Carsley of Carol Stream, Ill., Lorraine Chalberg of Geneva, Ill., and Terry Volmer and Eleanor Holzer, both of St. Charles, Ill.; in addition to several nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
Helen was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; one daughter, Linda Engen; one grandson; two sisters, Lillian and Arlene; and two brothers, Benjamin and Joe. A00003B2004DC15

I disagree... it would be very strange for Parson to mess up his side as badly as he has in an effort to get to the front lines only to negotiate a surrender. If he does, then his actions would be responsible for a ton of lost life on the part of GK, since they could have just taken Tram's deal at the outset.Goshen wrote:But it would be much more interesting for Parson to negotiate their surrender, if that could somehow be done.
Yep. We've seen both Jillian and Ansom be forcibly captured by dwagons and a megalogwiff respectively.Goshen wrote:Are there any rules for forceable capture? Making Ace a prisoner will be easy once his golems are spent, because he is immobilized. For the others, is there some kind of non-lethal capture attack in the Erf rules?

Hi everyone. I'm completely new to system building so I could use some advice.
I have a 2 story home which has several "pre-wired" rooms. I called the contractor to get info... and all they wanted to do was refer me to a sub-contractor... who wanted basically a ton of money to install a system. Since I am not a money tree, I am going it on my own... and I have all the time in the world to learn how to do it right.
Ok. I have one of those "great rooms" (kitchen area that spills into a family room area) that is pre-wired for 5.1 in the family/media niche area. I am thinking of going (5) TC80i's with sub. All basically connected to a Harman Kardon 3600.
Any glaring problems doing all TC80is? I suppose I'd use the sound system for music, and an occasional movie... but I'd hardly call myself an audiophile...
So any "range" of sound concerns? Power handling concerns? Perhaps pre-wired is a big scam which I should avoid in lieu of traditional speakers? Maybe I should go with less expensive stuff?
I'd really appreciate any comments before I go off and start buying stuff... or "tips" on questions I should be asking (but don't realize it yet).

Amongst White Clouds DVD
Rare access into the lives of Zen Buddhist monks
Gain rare access into the lives of Zen Buddhist monks who live in the remote and scattered hermitages along China's Zhongnan Mountain range. Often forgotten by history, this location and practice has helped these hidden sages attain enlightenment for some five thousand years. Writer/director Edward Burger is one of only a few foreigners to have lived and studied with these wise masters, and he graciously shares their tradition so we might begin exploring our own modern-day suffering and enlightenment. 86 minutes.

Congratulations to the wonderful couple! Michelle deserves every happiness, and that is my wish for her!
This rush of happy feelings, I can't stand! Congrats to the happy couple May their lives be full of sincere happiness!
Senator Pell is a Democrat, so Clay probably is too. Since Michelle is working for Hillary, has she changed parties?
Unless you know her personally or have access to voter registration lists, there's no definitive evidence as to whether she is currently, or ever has been, affiliated with any particular party.
Under your flawed logic, then since Jon Huntsman Jr. worked under Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as the ambassador to China, then does that mean he was a Democrat during that time?

Somehow missed genevieve's post about Nashville! Yes I also assumed affair but that one line did indicate that there's a specific incident, and it would make sense if it was part of Teddy's failed deal - which we were reminded about in the "previously on." Good casting btw - an actress who is married to a huge country star and has become part of the Nashville scene - hope we see more of her!
I also appreciate the complexities of the characters, and I would think we've got Callie Khouri to thank for that.
And I too would have liked another song or two

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy didn't actually offer his take on the state of Connecticut in his "State of the State" address, but his impassioned delivery before the General Assembly today painted with a broad brush a picture of the budget, pensions, education and the environment.
His focus, though, was Newtown.
A Democrat in his first term, Malloy's speech comes on the first day of a new legislative session and nearly a month since the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School left 20 children and six educators dead. The events in Newtown have shaken communities across the state and put Connecticut in the national spotlight with a renewed dialogue on gun control, mental health and school safety — and they reshaped Malloy's speech.
"It wont surprise you that this speech is very different from the one I first envisioned giving," he said. "In the early days of December, I began thinking about what I'd like to say. Now, while it's only been a few short weeks on the calendar, we have all walked a very long and very dark road together."
Let Patch save you time. Get local news like this delivered right to your inbox or smartphone every day with our free newsletter. Simple, fast sign-up here.
"What befell Newtown is not something we thought possible in any of Connecticut's beautiful towns or cities. And yet, in the midst of one of the worst days in our history, we also saw the best of our state."
Malloy paused, and visibly choked up, he continued:
- "Teachers and a therapist that sacrificed their lives protecting students."
- "A principal and school psychologist that ran selflessly into harm's way."
- "Our brave Connecticut State Police, Newtown's local law enforcement, firemen, and others that responded courageously when called upon."
- "In the aftermath, a selectwoman, a superintendent, and other local officials that have served around-the-clock bringing comfort and stability to Newtown."
"And today," he continued, "Sandy Hook's teachers are doing what they do best: putting the interest of their students first as they return to classrooms, providing stability and continuity that has never been so important and so needed."
"And then, of course, there are the families. Twenty-six families that despite an unimaginable loss have gotten up each and every day since, have been there for one another, and have supported their community as much as that community has supported them."
"Let us do everything in our power to ensure that Connecticut never again suffers such a loss; that we take real steps to make our kids and our communities safer."
"And when it comes to preventing future acts of violence in our schools, let me say this: more guns are not the answer. Freedom is not a handgun on the hip of every teacher, and security should not mean a guard posted outside every classroom," Malloy said. "That is not who we are in Connecticut, and it is not who we will allow ourselves to become."
While Malloy acknowledged that the issue of guns is something that transcends state borders and, therefore, demands national action, he said Connecticut's focus must be on what it can do to better protect its citizens.
"Those conversations won't always be easy," he said, "but as your Governor I've learned there is no challenge we will face that can't be overcome with the power of our community."
That theme of togetherness and community — and what can be accomplished when it outweighs all other forces — was woven throughout the governor's speech as he touched upon the major issues facing the state, including:
- Economy and jobs
- Budget and pensions
- Education
- Energy and the environment
"My friends," Malloy said, "as we begin this legislative session let us be guided by devotion to the common good, by faith in one another, and by a determination to work together to make our community as strong as it can be in every way."
For more detail on what Malloy said on each of those topics, as well as the Sandy Hook School shooting, his full speech is attached as a PDF.

Food crisis in the Sahel in 2012: a Somali déjà vu?
23 April 2012 | Article
3 Comments | Write a comment
To avoid impending food crises in East Africa, policy makers should act now to ease the cross-border movement of pastoralists, says Pablo Manzano, Global Coordinator of the World Initiative for Sustainable Pastoralism.
Pastoralism is a very adaptable source of livelihood in areas that have highly variable and unpredictable natural resources. Pastoralists are able to cope with climatic variations by moving according to peak plant productivity. This movement is at times across national borders. Policy makers worldwide can help ensure the success of mobility by strengthening regional agreements. The lack of adequate measures to secure transhumant routes for movement continues to generate food crises. To avoid a crisis similar to that which took place in Somalia in 2011 or in West Africa in 2009, state authorities, pastoralists and other policy makers need to come together and establish regional frameworks that ease cross-border movements for pastoral communities.
Pastoralism has proven to be economically and environmentally sustainable but despite some efforts to develop this sector, governments still tend to regard pastoralism as backward, destructive and non-viable. Many pastoral areas are characterized by low and variable rainfall patterns and mobility allows for access to fodder and water where it exists during lean periods.
Pastoral mobility is critical for trade, local livelihoods and for coping with climatic changes. The success of mobility relies heavily on security and governments' goodwill to allow movements. Regional networks and organizations are widespread across the world and provide a framework to agree on regulations that make cross-border pastoralism possible.
In East Africa, transboundary movements are either non-existent or not well developed, unlike in West Africa. Bodies such as the African Union, with the approval of its "Policy Framework for Pastoralism in Africa" or ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) and other bodies in the West African region have proven to be effective forums from which other regional bodies such as the East African Community, IGAD (the Intergovernmental Authority on Development) or the Arab League could take example.
According to the World Initiative for Sustainable Pastoralism (WISP), an IUCN programme for knowledge sharing and policy advocacy on pastoralism, the severe food crisis experienced in the Horn of Africa in 2011 was predicted as early as November 2010 and would have been averted had trans-boundary movements been supported and adopted as an adaptation strategy.
Events such as the recent Al-Shabab export ban of pastoralist products in Somalia weaken market integration and further contribute to food insecurity. In order to strengthen regional processes in East Africa, a workshop was held in Arusha in October 2011 by WISP and other stakeholders, presenting the conclusions of the publication "Natural Resource Management and Biodiversity Conservation in the Drylands of Eastern and Central Africa". This aimed to highlight the mutual benefits of pastoralism and biodiversity conservation as well as recommending policies and investment options in support of these synergies. The conclusions have been further delivered to national delegates of a recent African Union Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) conference in Arusha on pastoralism, highlighting the extraordinary role that regional bodies such as the East African Community, IGAD or the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) can have in shaping an ecosystem-scale pastoralist management.
In October 2011, Réseau Billital Maroobé (RBM), a network of pastoralists in the Sahel region, in partnership with the Liptako-Gourma Authority (ALG), held a workshop in Burkina Faso to study the possibility of harmonization of legal texts that regulate transhumance in the region. RBM issued an alarm call to attract attention to the unprecedented crisis as a result of drought that would affect the Sahel region as it did in 2009, a crisis that has also been forecast by different experts as well as NGOs such as Oxfam. A regional consultation meeting on food security and nutrition in the Sahel and West Africa organized by FAO, the World Food Programme and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), among others, gave joint opinions on the food and nutrition situation in the Sahel while noting that the ongoing social and political turmoil in the region may exert pressure on regional markets.
According to RBM, the rainy season in 2011 started early but was quickly characterized by poor rainfall throughout the region. This led to long periods of drought in Niger, Northern Mali and Burkina Faso, resulting in a significant decrease in forage production and drying up of water from ponds and backwaters used by animals. RBM predicts a significant influx of livestock from neighbouring countries into Benin, partly because of the presence of pasture and water, and also by the ease of negotiating social agreements.
In Niger for example, pastoralists are forced to migrate further to Nigeria, Burkina-Faso and Benin. The movement this season will be in jeopardy due to the conflicts being experienced in the North Eastern side of Nigeria due to constant attacks by Boko Haram. The main consequence is that pastoralists who usually move into Nigeria will be locked in their respective countries without access to water and grazing land during the dry season. This may lead to loss of livestock and consequently loss of incomes to families as well as lower GDP contributions to respective countries. This situation requires early responses to emergency situations while strengthening prevention programmes and development, taking into account the specifics of each country to benefit the most vulnerable groups.
The Tuareg 2012 rebellion, which has already sparked a crisis in Mali, further complicates migration in the Sahel. TheInternational Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) puts figures at 72,000 people internally displaced, 44,000 fleeing to Mauritania and Burkina Faso and a further 23,000 fleeing into Niger. Moreover, the rebellion has blocked usual corridors used by pastoralist herders. This is in the face of a food crisis which is now emerging across the Sahel estimated to be affecting some 13 million people.
Decision makers should not wait for catastrophic events to unfold, as they did in 2009/2010 as RBM noted in a recent study. The looming crisis is predictable and avoidable. Governments need to act on and improve legislation to enable more flexible livestock movements. Legislation should enable pastoralists to move with their herds to neighbouring countries without having to do preliminary surveys to identify host communities. Establishment of these laws should be done in collaboration with pastoralists themselves to prevent the perpetration of inappropriate policies.

Am sure this is all great stuff - However without public opinion nothing of any real value in any ral frame of time ever gets done. If someone was able to clarify - with the backing of people of knowledge and authority - what needs to be done, and put that information to the public then maybe people will get there goverments to change things. People / Public havo no idea what needs doing. But if they did and knew that information to be trustworthy maybe they would start to put pressure on those that can make things happen.

Nous croisons chaque jour des pasteurs avec un nombre des bétails (vaches) de plus en plus important à la recherche des pâturages et des points d'eau. Les peules, majoritaire en Afrique, n'acceptent pas de reformer ses troupeaux et laissent ça à la nature de faire les choses. L'intervention des gouvernements en matière de législation qui aident les pasteurs à se déplacer vers les pays voisins a échoué jusqu'à présent, pour la simple raison : trop de concurrence sur les ressources naturelles dans ces régions.

Estate Planning 101 is an exploration of the basic things that must be done to create an effective estate plan. It answers the questions: What is probate? What is a will? What is a trust? How much do they cost? How do I decide which approach is right for me?
The class reviews the seven real-life issues that even the best documents don't address, and offers a strategy to address those problems. Particular focus is placed on the importance of proper titling, the need to train executors, trustees, and other helpers, and the need to update the legal and financial parts of the plan.
The class is highly interactive; questions are welcome. It is useful for people who have done no planning, as well as for those who want to make sure that their plan will work as intended. Participants will receive a loose leaf binder containing forms and checklists to begin their planning, or to review an existing plan.
The class is held at 160 Gould St. Suite 102 in Needham, in the offices of Kushner Sanders Ravinal. It generally lasts about 1 ½ to 2 hours, depending on the level of interaction, and the number of questions.
