We are in an industry where the average independent flooring business owner is in his or her mid-sixties. Many of you have other family members in your business — brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and in many cases, sons and daughters. But many of you don't really have an answer to the question "Who will carry on the business when you decide to or have to leave?"
For family-owned businesses, the statistics are daunting. According to the Family Business Institute, only about 30 percent survive beyond the founder's generation, and just 12 percent make it to a third generation owner.
Many that have worked in your business, family or not, have a skewed view on your income or worth. They think because you sell $2 million or more that you are rolling in dough.
Ask employees or family members about the financial worth of a flooring company: Out of $1,000,000 in sales in a one store family-owned flooring business, how much money does the owner put in his or her pocket in net profit? The answers usually range from $100,000 to $400,000. When I tell them that the average is about $25,000 to $30,000, I always hear, "Well, I wouldn't do that for that little money!" You should be glad they do.
As the patriarch or matriarch of your business, it is your responsibility to get a succession plan in place and get the team prepared to move on without you. Identify those that you trust with the continuation of your business and start the process of grooming them to take over.
Put together the succession plan:
Who will be the successors, both managers and owners, as well as active and non-active roles for each member that will be involved? What support will they need?
Establish personal retirement goals and cash flow needs of retiring family owners, if any.
What will be the decision making process between the family members?
Set guidelines for dispute resolution. Who has the final word?
Layout the succession plan in writing.
Communicate the plan to family and/or shareholders.
Help them establish goals and objectives
How does the next generation expect to grow the business?
Identify their goals as owners.
Brainstorm and agree on a collective vision, mission and objectives for the business.
Determine the importance of continued family involvement in leadership and ownership, but consider professional management if those skill sets are not their strengths.
Find a business mentor, besides you, that can remove emotion from transitioning roles and responsibilities between family members.
Create a transition plan for your business
Include estate planning and tax implications upon sale, transfer of ownership or death.
Create a buy/sell agreement that is fair and reflective of the value of the business.
If the business is to be purchased, are you in a position to self-finance it on a deferred payout basis?
Establish a timeline for implementation of the plan.
Not every family business will survive. Planning now and communicating with those you have marked for your successors will give you a better chance of a successful transition.

Drake Reacts to Kendrick Lamar's 'Control' Verse
Another rapper reacting to Kendrick Lamar's verse on Big Sean's 'Control?' We know, it got a bit out of control, but at least this time it's someone who was mentioned on the track.
Another rapper reacting to Kendrick Lamar's verse on Big Sean's 'Control?' We know, it got a bit out of control, but at least this time it's someone who was mentioned on the track.
After ending his silence by finally sharing his own views on his much-debated 'Control' verse with Hot 97 yesterday, Kendrick Lamar continued his press run by making his first-ever appearance on 'Chelsea Lately' last night.
Since making a huge statement with his 'Control' verse earlier this month, Kendrick Lamar has heard responses from everyone including A$AP Mob, Joell Ortiz, and fictional rappers (haha!). Now it's the Compton, Calif. native's time to address it.
Black Hippy have been one of, if not the, most documented rap collectives of the last few years, so we know there's a lot to sift through. But if you're going to watch anything on the West Coast crew, make sure it's Life+Times' new 'Made In America: TDE' documentary.
In hip-hop, the guest feature can serve a wide variety of purposes and often many simultaneously.
Kendrick Lamar took time out before his set at the 2013 Paid Dues festival in San Bernardino to talk to Guerilla Union about the group that became one of hip-hop's elites over the past few years.
It's bad enough that Hitler's gotten all riled up about Kendrick Lamar's verse on Big Sean's 'Control' now even fictional rappers are calling K. Dot out on Twitter too.
We can now officially add Lupe Fiasco to the list of rappers so inspired by Kendrick Lamar's 'Control' verse that they felt the need to respond with some bars of their own. For the Chicago rapper, it arrives on a new track titled 'SLR 2.'
Having served up a handful of singles already -- namely 'No Wrong, No Right' with James Fauntleroy and Robert Glasper, and the Ty Dolla $ign and Tone Trezure-helped 'You're The One' -- Terrace Martin returns with a final treat off his '3ChordFold' album, which finally releases tomorrow (Aug. 13).

I've created two WPF applications that are designed to run full screen on the same server with dual monitors.
Is it possible to specify which application opens on which screen?
I currently have the executable on different monitors desktop which works but ideally I'd like to control this programmatically.
If that isn't possible, then I could move the application into a WPF web client and open in two full screen Internet Explorer windows but again I'd need to specify which ones load on which screens.

Before cmake, there was pretty much no hope of a cross-platform build environment to support win32 without a whole bunch of added stuff---e.g., it is not really just win32 any more... As near as I can tell, the main issues with cmake are along the lines of "it doesn't work" which are exactly the same ones you get with autoshell stuff. It is just that configure has been around longer so most of the rough edges have been sanded smooth for platforms on which it works. Feedback from different platforms is exactly what is needed!

With his participation in the Greek national final, Barrice hit the charts with the song ELA. Despite not winning the ticket to Eurovision he receieved encouraging feedback which he is now using to move forward in his career. Next step was the release of his first single and video clip.
Yesterday Denmark was met with the sad news of Jørgen Ingmann having passed away. He was Scandinavia's first Eurovision winner when him and his wife took Europe by storm in 1963, and through reactions from colleagues and friends you get the story about his unique talent as one of the world's best guitar players, but also how stage fright put an end to it.
A short while ago the running order for the two semi-finals of this year's Eurovision Song Contest was revealed. Moldova will open the first one, while Lithuania kicks off the second one two days later. Set to perform after advert breaks are Greece, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

DEFINITION of 'Permutation'
In mathematics, one of several ways of arranging or picking a set of items. The number of permutations possible for arranging a given a set of n numbers is equal to n factorial (n!). So, a set of three numbers can be arranged as: 3x2x1 = 6 permutations. Another type of permutation involves choosing a set of i items out of n choices. In this case, the number of permutations for choosing i items given n choices is given by n!/[(n-i)!]. Permutations are applicable to sets where the order matters; order does not matter in combinations.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Permutation'
The study of permutations applies to finance in a broad sense because a good understanding of probability is sometimes necessary to make rational financial choices. The Allais paradox problem shows that on their own, people do not instinctually choose the higher expected financial reward. Given the choice between a sure amount of money and a small gamble with a higher expected value, most people choose the guaranteed amount due to behavioral biases. Financial professionals must be able to rationally evaluate such situations and make the correct choices on behalf of shareholders or clients.

Good quality product, these mats are thick and plush. Before you buy get the color samples. I did not do it first time and had to return because of the wrong color. There was no problem processing the return, Tanya from customer service was very helpful. She suggested sending the color samples and second time everything worked great. One con- plastic attachments don't always keep the mats in place but overall happy with my purchase and the color now matches perfectly.

how often should my baby be moving at 26 weeks

I'm 26 weeks and he is more active some days than others, also I have discovered that if I'm around a loud group of people he will move a lot and also when my husband and I are sitting around talking he will move more so than at any other time, I am a rather quiet individual unless I'm playin loud music lol so I think that may determine how much or little your baby moves around. =)posted 06/13/2010 by loverstreasure
i am 26weeks along and our little one moves nonstop... he must sleep when i do because i counted 18hrs of movement in one day, i felt so nauseaus and dizzy that day... but, i loved it... seeing your tummy bump out at little kicks and punches is wonderful. this is actually my third pregnancy and the most active of them all :)posted 04/08/2010 by monica96
My little guy moves in spurts ... in the morning between 6 to 8 and then during the mid-afternoon and then again around 10 or so when we go to bed. He seems to like it when I eat too. But, if you are active throughout the day, you may not feel him move as much as you would if you were lounging around. If the heartbeat is normal at your OB check-ups, I'd would'nt worry at all and I woud just sit back and enjoy that beautiful little miracle in your tummy! I wish you health and happiness!!posted 05/28/2010 by lisac79

I am 26 weeks today and some days I feel the baby moving alot and the next day I will only feel a few kicks. My Dr. says that the baby could be facing backwards or his movements are not always strong enough to feel them. And I dont feel them at all if I am not very still. If you a really worried call the Dr. if everything is ok at your check up then it is probebly ok.posted 07/08/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I also am 26 weeks and holy crap,this is my third bundle of joy and the first were like sitting on a beach but this one is like being in a hurricane he wont stop moving, day and night. I love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything. Oh ya the first 2 were girls and this one is a boy go figure. Oh ya written by dad!!!posted 11/30/2009 by babyfrog2010
Alot, because the baby is small and his "swimming pool" is a good size. Soon he will out grow it and will still move alot but you wil be able to tell that he is cramped. I'm 26 weeks, my sister asked if I wantted to take belly dancing classes with her. I told her my belly dances all the time by itself :)posted 01/18/2008 by skinamonn
I am 26 weeks ,first time to be mom :) and the baby seems to have started all gymnastics.He moves so fast that at times the kick or nudge is so prominent that I can the movement on the belly.

I'm 26 weeks pregnant and she moves all the time but the other day I didnt feel her for 24 hours and that scared me. But the doctor told me to drink 3 glasses of ice water and lay on my left side in a dark quite room. I went to the doctor the next morning and the baby was fine. Her heart beat was in the 150's and they told me durning this stage they might get towards ur back and thats why u can't feel them as much..

Tax Returns Show Romney's Complicated Fiances
By Jim Zarroli
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney earned more than $42 million over the past two years — the bulk of it from an array of stocks and investment funds. And he paid about 15 percent of what he made in taxes. The release of some 500 pages of tax returns give a much fuller picture of how he made his money and what he did with it.

Fighting the fat
Child obesity is escalating rapidly in the UAE. The government is trying hard to encourage kids and parents to battle the bulge.
October 14, 2009 1:47 by Aarti Nagraj
Two out of every five children in Dubai are overweight, according to a study released by Dubai Health Authority, reports The National. "We need an organized program to fight obesity," said Fatma al-Attar, head of the community programme section at the health authority. "We can't do it with just a one week campaign or a day of activities."
The study, which was conducted over three years and surveyed 1,133 children from grades 10, 11 and 12, found that 26.7 percent of the children were overweight and 12.2 percent were obese.
It also found that boys were more likely to be overweight than girls. "Our explanation for this is that boys are going through hormonal changes and their muscles are growing," al-Attar said. "Another explanation is that females are more worried about their looks, so maybe they are taking more care than boys about their weight."
But the issue is not a new one. In April this year, the UAE health ministry partnered with UNICEF to launch a national campaign to tackle child obesity in the UAE called "The Fat Truth." The three-month long campaign worked with the healthcare and educational sectors to educate parents on the health risks caused by obesity. As part of the campaign, educational leaflets were distributed in malls and clinics, and numerous workshops were organized to spread awareness about the issue.
While launching the campaign, Humaid Al Qatami, the UAE Health Minister attributed the rise in child obesity to the lack of exercise, and increasing consumption of fatty and sugary foods.

The new Speaker of the House will be John Boehner of Ohio. He is a faithful Catholic who fully understands the teaching of his Church and has earned a consistent 100% Pro-Life score from the National Right to Life Committee. Just as importantly, he has also earned a 0% score from the National Abortion Rights Action League, an organization which promotes the killing of children in the womb as a "right".
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
11/4/2010 (4 years ago)
Published in Politics & Policy
Keywords: John Boehner, Abortion, Catholic, Midterm elections, speaker of the house, nancy pelosi
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - What a difference an election can make. Like much of the United States, I have been watching the election returns for the Midterm elections this evening. There is no question that the results are a wakeup call to the Obama administration. Most of the networks are projecting that the Republican Party will now control the House of Representatives, having gained at least 60 seats. The Senate will stay in the hands of the Democrats.
However, the first thing I thought of as the results came in this evening was the immediate change in the leadership of the House of Representatives. As someone who writes frequently on Catholics in Public Life who openly reject the teaching of their own Church, thereby causing scandal to the faithful, there is little doubt that the now former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been one of the worst offenders.
She has been corrected by her Bishop and excoriated by Catholics around the Nation, all to no avail. She openly rejects the unbroken teaching of her own Church concerning the intrinsic evil of every procured abortion and even has the audacity of misrepresenting that teaching to the public. Her intransigence and intentional rejection of the teaching of the Church has been infuriating to watch. Worse than that, she has been one of the main enablers of the Culture of Death, while all the while claiming to be a devout Catholic!
The new Speaker of the House will be John Boehner of Ohio. He is a faithful Catholic who fully understands the teaching of his Church and has earned a consistent 100% Pro-Life score from the National Right to Life Committee. Just as importantly, he has also earned a 0% score from the National Abortion Rights Action League, an organization which promotes the killing of children in the womb as a "right". John Boehner is a truly Pro-Life Catholic and a champion of children in the first home of the whole human race, their mother's womb!
He did not back down in exposing - and opposing - nationalized health care or "Obamacare". He opposed it for many reasons. However, chief among them, he opposed it because it provides for funding for abortions. Even after the President signed the allegedly curative "executive order" claiming to prevent such funding, John Boehner was one of the strongest voices to reveal the subterfuge involved in the action stating " (N)o Executive Order or regulation can override a statutory mandate unless Congress passes a law that prohibits federal funding from being used in this manner."
He is a supporter of a bill sponsored by another real Catholic in the House, Congressman Chris Smith which will codify the Hyde Amendment and make sure no federal money is used to take the lives of our first neighbors under the guise of "Health Care". It is called the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act."
John Boehner is from a working class Catholic family of twelve. He was the first person in his family to go to College. He is a father of two daughters. He is also a man who prays, as evidenced by his open, comfortable and natural acknowledgement of the fact just this week in a radio interview with Mike Gallagher.
Senator Elect Marco Rubio is another example of a consistent Pro-Life Christian. Son of Cuban immigrants, Rubio was raised a Roman Catholic Christian. However, some indications are that he now worships at a non-denominational Church. If so, we need to pray for him to find his way back home. However, he, like John Boehner, is also clear on the fundamental human rights issue of our age, the Right to Life of all human persons from conception to natural death.
Back in February Marco Rubio spoke to my friend Deal Hudson who wrote, "For Rubio, his pro-life convictions are the "cornerstone" of everything else. "A society that does not respect the sanctity of life cannot make sense of anything else, and it leads to absurd and dangerous policies." Without a belief in protecting preborn life, "the entire society is endangered, and social justice cannot be the outcome of such an unjust system."
In his stirring acceptance speech this evening, Marco Rubio acknowledged his background and declared "No matter where I go, or what title I achieve, I will always be the son of exiles". With his family behind him he paid tribute to his father in a manner that should have brought tears to any father watching. It did to me. This is a good man whose Christian faith has obviously informed his public service. Even in a three way race, he sailed to victory with a 20 point lead.
Tonight's election presents a moment of hope and invites us all to focused prayer and persevering Catholic action.
