How KPIs Help Your Quest for High AP Performance
By Clinton Jones on Aug 24, 2016
What is the difference between a KPI and a metric? Although the term metric is often used interchangeably with the term key performance indicator, they are not the same thing. A metric is a quantifiable measurement for a specific duration, and a KPI is a metric that you use to accomplish certain goals. Key performance indicators are intended to measure success. While all KPIs are metrics, all metrics are not KPIs. Meaningful KPI's are reliable and depend on accurate sources of data for input. However they also evolve as the business grows, and should be driven out of key operational or improvement objectives.
Once you have established the objectives that align with the strategic direction and improvement goals of the organization, you can define metrics and measures. Many prefer to just choose a few KPIs (3 or 4) to focus on.
KPIs need to be actionable.
A metric can measure the time elapsed from invoice approval to payment, with a clear goal of reducing the duration of the settlement cycle. The insight from analyzing the KPIs will drive actionable change. You can measure this using additional or new KPIs to determine the effectiveness of the changes made. Some critical performance indicators for the accounts payable function are often considered as follows:
Productivity per team member
In the absence of automation, what can your team accomplish? Take all your invoices every month and divide them by your AP FTE's. Next determine who will complete which steps. Is everyone completing the same volume of work? What is the optimal throughput? If invoice volume increases by 10% do you increase your team size by 10% too? The industry standard is 750-800 invoices per FTE per month. By automating SAP transactions using Winshuttle Studio, you could see throughput improve considerably.
Cost per invoice
How much do you spend on processing and invoicing? This includes the cost of receiving, processing, and approving the invoice with the vendor. This process has several touch points, and the cost includes direct costs and opportunity costs such as the paper push for approvals, check processing and mailing costs, copying, printing, filing and storing. Consider the missed discounts, late fees and duplicate payment issues. Think about fraud, errors, and rework. When you house Excel or form-based data in a Winshuttle Foundation environment, you can reduce your reliance on paper, and eliminate paper-based approvals. You can also increase transaction processing volumes while keeping headcount.
Invoice processing speed
How long does it take a payment request to process? Best in class do it in 5 – 6 days, while the majority take 10 – 11 days. The worst performers (30%) take 24 – 25 days according to the Aberdeen Group's study ePayables 2011: Efficiency, Visibility and Collaboration the Financial Supply Chain. Where do you fall? According to the Aberdeen Group 2012 AP Invoice Management in a Networked Economy study, the top 30% have a 90% capture rate for early settlement discounts, while the bulk capture less than half ranging in 18% at the bottom to 47% at the top. Using Winshuttle Studio or Winshuttle Journey Entry for Excel with approval workflows in Winshuttle Foundation accelerates your processing speed because you don't have to run cumbersome integration processes or manually transcribe data.
Variance analysis – correcting the number of items
With an average person indexing errors between 20% – 40% through manual entry, how do you get this inefficiency factor down? Errors arise through coding, missing important items, signoffs, splitting and double processing. According to APQC research, the need for manual intervention is the main culprit consuming nearly 62% of total AP costs. Applying the four or six eyes principle is crucial because more people can review and approve content. However this is best done with an automated workflow using something like Winshuttle Foundation. You can use workflows wrapped around Composer forms or Excel spreadsheet templates filled with data. Addressing issues like master data records early in the accounting cycle can save you in the long run using the 1:10:100 rule.
PO matching speed
This is often seen as one of the most important metrics for purchase-to-pay. Invoices are typically grouped into two types: purchase order based invoices, and invoices without a purchase order. With the former, you need to baseline your volume trend to understand whether the match rate is stable or improving. You can also decide what types of purchase orders you want to track as a metric – you may think you want zero PO-less supplier invoices.
When calculating the matching KPI, you might look at the percentage of invoices that pass straight through the purchase-to-pay system without delay or manual intervention. A high first-time match rate will often feed into other areas. This can potentially result in better productivity, lower costs per invoice, and a greater number of invoices paid on time. While Winshuttle isn't really a PO matching solution, many customers use Winshuttle for the last mile of integration on the three way and statement matching processes.

Midnight Rendevouz
Two people once in love go their separate ways. He describes the time spent with her gone. As time goes by , the image her face becomes a distant past, yet midnight tryst encounter, in dreams is where he sees her, everything just the way it was when together they were...
Midnight Rendezvous
Unwavering love once fable thought, refuted
Asserted end unproven tale ,left burdened
You call, you dial, you try to strike a deal
In clear despair a life to live defeat, Indeed, deceit
The nights are often long, the days drag on prolong,
Then as time so oft persists
Extended days
Withstand resist
A pale depicted cryption
Her eyes were once
So vivid clear
The months wane into years, in shrivel doubt the picture wilts
Fine feeling disappears.
A distant phase much time amazed nothing left to view,
Yet still in rest in sleep in slumber, a tryst our midnight dream encounter.

Own beedroom and bathroom in spacious modern 2.5 bedrooms duplex, located right next to Sydney Uni and RPA Hospital. Carpet throughout.
Good size bedroom with big built-ins. There is currently a sofa bed in it that can be left here if you want the room semi furnished or you can furnish it to your taste. There is also a bedside table that can be left there. There is space for a bed and some extra furniture such as a bookshelf or a small desk. Wall to wall built-ins offer heaps of storage space. Dunna, pillows, dunna cover, sheets, fitted sheets (for double size bed) and towels can be provided.
You will have access to your own large bathroom, with bathtub and heaps of storage. No sharing as we have our own en-suite.
The bedroom is downstairs and quiet. It's on the opposite side of the hallway from our bedroom so no adjoining wall (ideal for privacy).
There is also a study nook in the apartment, and I'm happy to share the desk if you need a workspace (there is a computer monitor that you can use as well).
Bus stop is literally at the door step, with many bus lines stopping there (even the night buses stop close by if needed).
Close to nice little parks and about 15 minutes walk to Annandale village, 20mins walk from Glebe Point Road (many international restaurants there). There is a small supermarket and bottle shop around the corner and the Broadway shops are only a few bus stops away (we also have a car with my partner and happy to arrange to drive you to the shops if you have to buy lots of heavy stuff).
The shared areas (kitchen, living room...) are all furnished and the place is clean and cosy. There is a nice balcony with a BBQ, and a washing machine and dryer. There is also a land line (to receive calls only) and Netflix.
Oh and there is a furry flatmate, very playful, funny and cuddly, so unfortunately if you are allergic to cats, the place isn't for you.
I'm Laurie, 31, working full time in research integrity at Sydney University.
I am from France and have been living in Australia for 6 years.
I like socialising with friends but also enjoy my quiet time from time to time, specially when I come back from work. I enjoy meeting new people and love traveling. I'm a tidy and clean person, but not a clean freak either.
In my spare time, I like catching up with friends, reading about everything and anything on the Internet, watching hair and makeup tutorials on youtube, watching series and cuddling with my kitty.
My partner, Stefan is 29 year old. He is currently working full time in project management.
Stefan is very easy going and a lovely person, always ready to help you. He is similar to me, likes to catch up with friends, and meet new people. He loves snowboarding, and music. He is also amazing at fixing things. He is very clean and neat.
Stefan and I have been together for 5 years and living together for 3.
We both enjoy to have a chat in the evening and socialise but also like to have our own time and respect people's privacy. Stefan and I do like the apartment to look niceand reasonably clean. We enjoy going out from time to time but are not party animals. It might happen that some of our friends come over though, but we prefer to have dinner parties.
We have a male car, Spooky who will be two at the end of October. It is important for us to find a flatmate who like cats.
Spooky is full of energy and loves to play. He loves fluffy toys and toys looking like birds. You can make him run for hours with these toys.
You can interact with him as little or as much as you want. He takes a bit of time to warm up to new people but he will not annoy you if he is left alone.
He is litter trained and will not wake you up in the morning as we have taught him to wait for us to wake up to get food.
Our only rule is that he is not allowed to go outside on the balcony without supervision.

this week's challenge for The Rubber Cafe! The challenge is to use Spellbinders...and that was no hardship! I used the corners from the Fleur De Lis Accents set and paired it with a tag die from the Fancy Tags Two set.
Another favorite thing of mine is glitter...and I used the You're So Fine Diamond Clear Glitter on my creation. I ran a 4 x 5.25 inch piece of white cardstock through the Xyron sticker machine and then covered it with glitter. Next, I ran my panel through the Cuttlebug Victoria Embossing Folder...instant textured glitter cardstock! This glitter comes in a huge jar at a great price...what's not to love?!
I used the Small Thistle Flower, but colored it as a clematis this time. I love stamps that can do double duty! I colored an additional flower green and cut it apart to use for my leaves. Mom comes from the Give Momma Some Love set and is colored with Copic markers and accented with a Spica Glitter pen.
Be sure to join in the fun and share your Spellbinder creations with us! Check out all of the challenge details and prize information on The Rubber Cafe's blog.

And I'm thinking that bookselling has changed recently - and for the better, where both authors and the reading public are concerned.
When my first book came out - a quarter of a century ago now - that's what books did. They came out - shyly, boldly, noisily, some even successfully - like debutantes at their first ball in earlier times.
It was understood that the author would chaperone their book through the process of publication, have tender feelings towards it, even. A poor review would hurt, and the author would feel downcast if no newspaper or magazine or even gorgeous local radio took any notice of the poor wallflower.
On the other hand, if a local bookshop such as Mandarin Books in Notting Hill put a copy in the window, the author felt utterly elated.
Thankfully, the whole process of coming out in the Eighties took less than two weeks.
Most of the author's energy in that time went into checking in bookshops if they had copies, complaining to the publisher when they didn't and - of course - on finding a copy in a bookshop, placing it immediately on top of a friend's book.
The best story of those energetic years comes from a cousin of mine who was lunching with the distinguished writer, Shiva Naipaul.
His book A Hot Country had just come out and after lunch he asked her to go into Truslove and Hanson and ask if they had the book in. "No," came the uncompromising answer, "and you can tell Mr Naipaul, whom I see lurking outside, that we're not planning on getting it in either."
But the bookshops were potentially the author's allies, and from those fine independent bookshops, Heywood Hill in Mayfair, John Sandoe in Chelsea and Hatchards in Piccadilly, I received nothing but kindness and encouragement. They, of course, are still going, while Truslove and Hanson is no more.
Things changed in the Nebulous Nineties. Books ceased to come out and became "products" which were "launched" with "campaigns".
There were also "whopper" or "bonanza" advances paid out to numerous authors, and many writers, rather than sitting writing or wandering up to the local bookshop for a thriller, took to speaking at literary festivals to startling numbers all over Britain.
But last year saw the end of the big advances. And this year, let me tell you as someone with a book just out, publishers have banned "book launches".
Although at first I was disappointed - no one likes warm white wine in a basement more than me - on balance I am pleased. I had always felt nervous when someone said they were coming to a "book launch" of mine. It made me think we were going to hit an iceberg very soon.
And London bookshops are coming to the rescue of their old friends, the capital's authors - and offering "book-signings" when our books come out.
This connection between authors and bookshops, that seemed for a while in danger, is thus re-established. No one would deny the uses of Amazon but, let's face it, it's difficult to have a personal relationship with the staff there.
Show me a friendly London bookshop, on the other hand: I'm relaxed and happy, and ready to take on all comers with my "signing pen" in one hand and a glass in the other.
Flora Fraser's latest book, Venus of Empire: The Life of Pauline Bonaparte, was published this month by John Murray.Reuse content

Andreas Zuber took his first GP2 Series victory in today's sprint race in Istanbul. Starting second after his seventh-place finish in yesterday's feature race, the Trident Racing snatched the lead from polesitter Xandi Negrao in the run to the first corner, and never looked back.
"I did a great start so I was able to lead the whole race," exuberant Zuber recounted after the race. "It's fantastic, even considering the great battle behind me, today nobody could have taken away the victory from my hands."
The 22-year-old Austrian was in top form throughout the race, holding off third-place started Adam Carroll after Negrao retired with steering problems. Carroll gave a strong challenge for the lead, getting close enough at times to read the serial number on Zuber's gearbox, but he could not match his adversary's speed through the corners.
"I really, really, really pushed to the absolute maximum," Carroll recalled. "You're more like you're going to go off, and I could just about creep up to the back of him, but I couldn't sustain that because I probably would have gone off. He was quicker in places and I just couldn't keep it up."
But the wild card of the race was the driving of championship leader Lewis Hamilton. Starting from seventh thanks to his second-place finish in the feature race, it all looked to be going wrong at first.
Hamilton allowed yesterday's winner and championship rival, Nelson A. Piquet, to get past him at the start, and then, as he was pressuring Piquet, he clipped a curb and spun off the track, and nine cars streamed past him, dropping him to sixteenth.
"I had an overheating engine in the beginning and I don't know if I lost focus or concentration on that trying to keep it cool," explained the Brit. "It's why I left a gap to Piquet. Then I had the spin. But it's just all hope. You know, you keep that hope inside you. You push until the end."
Indeed, the young Englishman was not about to give up the race, though, or to give up ground to Piquet in the title fight. He set about his task immediately, and fortunately the Istanbul Park circuit is well-suited to hard charging and side-by-side racing. Within five laps he had recovered to tenth, while Piquet was pressuring Timo Glock in a fight for third place. The Brazilian looked faster, but could not find a way past Glock.
And then, on lap 16, Hamilton was suddenly on Piquet's tail, and passed him for fourth place with relative ease in the final corner sequence before the start-finish-straight. It was a start contrast to Saturday, when Piquet took the victory in the feature race with a nearly 18-second margin over Hamilton.
"I think I was a bit too cautious," Piquet admitted. "Timo was aggressive because he wasn't fighting for the championship, and so for me to tackle him it would be easy for us to touch. I didn't want to risk a lot because I knew Lewis was in the back and he wasn't going to come back up. But suddenly that happened!"
The next lap was a spectacular side-by-side duel between Glock and Hamilton, with the German able to hold off Hamilton's challenge corner after corner. Piquet, who had a front-row seat to watch the fight, took advantage at the start of lap 18, nipping Hamilton into the first corner to take back fourth place.
He was not to be able to keep it, though, as Hamilton forced his way past again on the same lap, intent on a rematch with Glock. The two went another three rounds, often side-by-side, until finally on the 21st lap Lewis was able to outbrake the iSport driver at the end of the long straight to claim third.
"It was difficult because I was a lot quicker than him and he put up an awesome fight," Hamilton recounted the battle. "He just wouldn't give up that position. It was very difficult to make a move stick without touching each other and causing an accident. So with being on the very limit to pass him, I had to do it on the last corner which meant he couldn't get the exit on me and that was it."
With only two laps remaining, Hamilton was able to make up ground to Carroll, whose tires were on their last legs after his fight with Zuber, but that was all that he could do: Zuber claimed his first victory with a margin of 2.938 seconds over the Briton, with Carroll another 0.888 seconds behind in third. Glock (5.807 off Zuber's pace) and Piquet (6.749) took fourth and fifth, and were the only other drivers within ten seconds of Zuber.
For Hamilton, the second place was critical for his championship aspirations. Even with Piquet's win on Saturday, he lost only a single point on the penultimate race weekend of the season, and will arrive in Monza for the season finale 10 points clear of Piquet.
Glock is fourth in the championship and out of contention, but only four points adrift of Alexandre Premat, who finished seventh in today's race.

Apparently from various people commenting in places, some folks do not know how to do this fun thing.
So here is my own little tutorial on how to create an offsim item. The fun in these is to give regions much more depth than a single [or many] region[s] can do. There is much less need for this in OpenSim using core code which has such features as Varregions.
With pricing so low and easy entry for those technically inclined many of us can have many regions.
However, some are not able to run their own simulator instance[s], or have to slow a connection or are datastream limited, or just would rather someone else handle the simulator side, offsim creations can add much to a region.
I am not quite certain [and could not find a definitive answer in a quick search... perhaps I will add it here later] the distance one can link prims. It is possible there is no limit.
I do have one out now that the offsim object is around 150m from the inregion root prim, so I kinda suspect it can be as far out as 256m from the region root prim. But that distance is rather not one to use, as, unless it is a very big build, you really cannot see it enough, if at all, to do it justice, especially for visitors.
Also note that you can push any items out from a region up to having 51% of it inside the region borders.
Keep in mind these are for effect only, for decoration...they cannot be used, nobody can go to them.
In any case, let's get to this. I don't do this as some kind of full tut on the matter, just something quick and easy for those already comfortable with even the most basic building tools...which is kinda what I am. If in comments in places I get better info I will just add it in here.
In this first photo I show that I rezzed this nice castle out that Kahn Khalim created that I found someplace recently. I show the root prim rezzed out.
Generally I rezz all this out above the rest of my region just to make it easier to see what I am doing. You might find others ways that are easier for you. I rezz them close to the part of the region I will be extending it from, and the root prim is usually only 50 or so meters distance at first.
You see in the below photo the castle is placed as I want it. In order to get more distance or better positioning simply edit the entire build and select linked edit the root prim.
Then you can move it a further distance inside the region or move it up or down as needed. Then you can push the entire build out further, you see.
The build can be positioned only as far the root prim stays inregion to anchor it. In this photo where you see the multi-colored dancefloor is near the corner edge.
As noted in the below photo once you have all in place just cam around it to confirm placement is what you want to see, and others to see.
In this inregion snap from a little higher than a regular walker would see, that while the castle is actually rather large, it shows up in the distance, nestled among hills with lots of water around it.
I like it and it also fills an area where I had just mountains and rocks to fill it out more.
Have fun-))))

LONDON: Copper rose for a second session to near 2-1/2 month highs on Thursday, on continued relief over a last-minute deal in the United States to avert a "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and spending cuts, and upbeat data from top copper consumer China.
Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange rose to $8,240.50 a tonne at 1016 GMT, from a close $8,210 a tonne on Wednesday when it posted its biggest daily gain in more than three months on news that U.S lawmakers had reached a budget deal.
The metal used in power and construction hit an intraday high of $8,256.50 a tonne on Thursday, its highest since mid October.
With the fiscal cliff deal reached, President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans now face even bigger budget battles in the next two months on spending cuts and an increase in the nation's limit on borrowing, after a hard-fought deal narrowly averted devastating tax increases and spending cuts.
"With the uncertainty out of the way after the fiscal cliff resolution, as far as markets are concerned the focus is now on the huge budget gap that there is to cope with," said Andrey Kryuchenkov, analyst at VTB.
"And attention is also back on the economic outlook for China, which has shown some promising signs in the last few months with some decent numbers."
Also helping prices push higher was data that showed growth in China's services sector accelerated in December at its fastest pace in four months, adding to signs of a modest year-end revival in the world's second-largest economy.
"Non-manufacturing PMI showed a bigger than expected rise, providing yet more evidence that the turnaround of the Chinese economy is gaining pace with stronger economic growth likely in the months ahead," ETX Capital's Markus Huber said.
Copper rose by more than 4 percent in 2012, following a 21 percent fall in 2011.
Tin was the outstanding winner of the base metals complex last year, rising almost 22 percent, while lead rose by 15 percent, zinc by 13 percent and aluminium by 3 percent.

#1 Consumer Comment
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 09, 2009POSTED: Wednesday, December 09, 2009
Good evening,
It's been two years since I attended the first presentation by Geo/GH Marketing representatives. My membership of $25,000 was paid in full only this year as I had to take the 50/50 option to avoid all the interest that they charge. A month after I was called in again to be advised of a "new accelerated program" they are now offering but as per their usual scripted speech, it was for that day only and set to expire once I walked out of the door. I had many calls into Member Services and even had the pleasure of speaking with a rather hostile lady by the name of Betty Eisenstadt. Upon further research I learned that she was the President. From reading complaints and other member's concerns online, it appears as though there exists a new provision that is related to a penalty imposed for early cancellation. I say early because you mentioned that you face 50 years of mounting fees. In a another post listed, they mentioned that it is $1,000. I called Geo and confirmed this amount. I am going to be telling others of this as this is not included anywhere in the purchase agreement or guidelines and they have never sent anything providing notice of this change in the terms of the contract. Although in Schedule E it makes mention that changes will be changed from time to time, no where does it state that Geo is not obligated to advise members accordingly. Sadly, without the route of litigation, this may be your only means of getting out-$1,000 penalty now versus 50 years of membership fees and other hidden costs which in actuality would amount to far more than the penalty. I would also suggest that you file a formal complaint with the Consumer Protection Branch. With more and more calls from dissatisfied members, the more Geo will be monitored. The number for the Consumer Complaint line is 416-326-8800.
I would also recommend sending Geo's Head Office a letter requesting termination and copying the Consumer Protection Branch once they have provided you with a file number. It is not much, but it is a start. I hope that helps.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Date of Stay: October, 2015
We stayed here for 5 nights. The weekend cost $75.00 per night w/GS. we stayed in the old part of the park. Nice tree shade and still got Satellite reception (without HD cause of light tree interference). Internet was very poor. couldn't even get email most of the time. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2015
Stayed a couple of days. Good place to stay to visit Houston Area. Sewer connections were long way from where it should be. Big trees so we had to maneuver the coach a bit to get a signal. We were on site 4B, across from the swimming pool, near the front of the park. The front was pretty old but the rear was new with larger sites, better area. We will stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2015
Noise from RT 77 was tolerable. Nice clean sites. Internet was so so.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
Stayed here one night, was pleasantly surprised. Clean place, level sites, Wi-Fi is lacking slow. Would stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
First time at any Fairground. Very clean, near a nice city park around a lake. I would stay here again, In fact we did a week later. Pretty easy access from I-30.

Video on the web has become increasingly prominent. Our good friends over at Shufflebox Productions create awesome commercials, corporate videos, and other video needs for their clients. They have a great vision and a modern feel to their work. We took some time with the guys at Shufflebox to ask them a few questions that may be beneficial to our clients and anyone looking to get videos made for their businesses.
You guys have produced some awesome videos recently. What types of videos are you working on mostly (ie: commercials, corporate videos, etc.)?
We do a little bit of everything, honestly. Lately, there's been an influx of web videos but never without some commercials sprinkled in. New media is really driving a lot of marketing lately. With everyone wanting some kind of video for their website that end of the business has blown up. We've seen it all lately: from new product promotions for GNC to guys in deer costumes for Havahart. In addition to commercials and corporate videos, we recently just started shooting our first TV show.
What are some of your favorite projects that you guys have finished up recently?
Hands down we're going to say the Immix Wireless commercial. Immix was not only our first "in-house" client, but they were also the ideal client to work with. You're in a great place when you have clients who understand and value the creative element just as much as the message it's going to convey. We were trusted with a lot of creative liberties. In the end, the final product really does the client justice. Plus, we were able to shine and put ourselves out there. It was fun to really sink our teeth into something from start to finish and create something awesome.
What are some good things for businesses to think about when preparing to hire someone to put together videos for them?
A lot can be said by the quality of work found in a portfolio. Look at their past work and make sure the quality is up to your standards. Don't hesitate to contact some of their past clients either. There are too many businesses out there that will take on a project and fall short of their client's expectations. It could be anything from the deadline continually getting delayed to something as simple as returning phone calls in a timely manner. The adage that "you get what you pay for" is almost always true. But if you do some research and make a point to hire the right person, you'll be surprised that more often than not, you can and do get more than you pay for.
With the web, a big part of what clients should be aware of is proper development. What are some important things that clients should be aware of with the production of their videos?
One of the biggest things that clients should take into consideration is the practical length of their video. Personally, we've found that the general area of 2-3 minutes is the ideal length for most web videos. It's just the right length to keep a consumer's attention spam. The true purpose of the video should be to grab their attention, inform and leave them wanting more.
The other biggie is actually the implementation of the video. Namely, the size of the video player on the website. Too often we see these postage-stamp-sized videos embedded on websites. If you're going to pay for a stellar looking video, why not showcase it on your site?!
How far are you guys willing travel to shoot?
There are no limits to how far we're willing to go. We've been across country and continue to travel all the time. Truth be told, we tend to be more willing when going to a location that's entirely new for us or if there's some good places to eat nearby… mmm, Primanti's. Basically, if there's a video to be shot, Shufflebox is there!
In Conclusion
We want to thank Matt & John at Shufflebox Productions for taking the time to answer some questions for us. Feel free to head over to www.shuffleboxproductions.com to learn more.

all the money that was left to be divided is there anything stopping me from receiving my part of the money as long as im entitled to it
In addition to what was posted above, what happens here would first depend on the wording of your grandmother's will. If your grandmother provided a statement indicating what she wanted to happen should your aunt or father pass away befor her, then that statement would control.
Only in the event that the statement is not included would the other possibilities from the above posts come into play. A well written will does provide for what will happen should beneficiaries pass away before the person making the will.
As you can see, there are many factors can come into play. Thus, I would strongly advise you to obtain a copy of the will and consult an attorney in your area who practices wills and estates. Good luck.

A local company now states it will hire only non smokers, but it will allow their current employees to continue to smoke. Isn't that a form of discrimination?
Furthermore, employment in Pennsylvania is "at will," which means that either the employer or employee can end the employment relationship at any time for any reason, unless it's an illegal reason. This goes for hiring as well. Employers can hire anyone or refuse to hire anyone for any reason as long as an illegal reason isn't a factor. Illegal reasons include discrimination based upon the person's age, sex, race, color, disability, religion, or national origin. There are some other possible reasons but there is nothing illegal about discriminating against smokers.
If the company were not a private one, but a public one such as the government, then it might be possible that you have an "equal protection" claim because two classes of people are being treated differently. However, even in that situation, you would likely lose. Equal protection claims are not applicable to private employers such as local companies.

Grandfather of 2 children said he would pay 1K a month for each grandchild we had. Specifically stated "So if you have 12 you'd get 12K a month". Then made checks out monthly. (which the money was to help with the upbringing of kids) Now that ...
There's a small possibility that you can claim you have come to rely on those payments so the payments should continue. The concept is called promissory estoppel or detrimental reliance. However you would still probably need to prove that you relied on his promise when you had the kids or relied on his promise when you say, quit your job or did something else against your own interest. There are other things that would need to be proven as well, so seek assistance. You probably would need to prove that you haven't done anything bad which made him stop making the payments. I would suggest consulting an attorney to evaulate your claim. $1,000 a month per child adds up to a lot of money over time. Good luck.

As his daugther, you should have standing to contest the will because you would inherit from your father if the will is invalid. However, the lack of a Power of Attorney or Self Proving Affidavit does not immediately render a will invalid. You haven't provided very clear facts so I highly advise you to consult an attorney who can ask and answer questions to properly evaluate your possible claim.

my husband worked 16 hours in one day
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, overtime pay, as "time and a half," typically must be paid when an employee exceeds 40 working hours in any work week. The employee must also not be "exempt" from overtime, which can happen if the employee is salaried or a government worker, to name a couple exemptions.
The number of hours worked in a given day can sometimes trigger overtime pay, but it depends on the type of job. There are also other gray areas such as whether time actually counts as "work."
Your state law may have greater protection for employees than the federal law.
You would really need to provide more information; but for the best response, consult an attorney in your state. Good luck.

I agree with the above poster. Sometimes the Court will give the money to a similar organization with a similar charitable purpose, so the American Diabetes Association may be a good substitution. However based upon the limited amount of facts in your question, I would suggest that you may want to consult an attorney who focuses on probate procedures before approaching the Court. Whatever the Court chooses to approve as the appropriate action to fix the problem will depend primarily upon the specific wording of the will and then the circumstances surrounding the will's creation.

I have had 3 knee surgeries and have been on 3 fmla's because of it, now my job is telling me if I don't return to work by Dec. 15th I will not have a job anymore. Can they do that legally to me or can I fight this somehow?
The above poster is correct. To further clarify, please note however that the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) only applies to employers that have 50 or more employees in 20 or more workweeks throughout a year. Employers with fewer employees are not required by federal law to provide you leave, unless the employer is "public" such as the government or a public school.
The FMLA is federal law. You may also have similar rights arising under state law, specifically the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, which generally applies to state employers and employers having 4 or more employees with some exceptions, or you may also have a claim arising out of an employee handbook depending on what is included in it. I would strongly advise you to consult an employment attorney in your area to discuss your situation. Good luck.

If you believe that your employer is discriminating against you on the basis of a disability, you may have rights that are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The answer depends upon your specific situation, what exactly you disclosed to your employer, whether you are fully capable of performing all the duties of your former position, whether they were trying to accommodate your pain, and more. You may also have a claim for partial unemployment compensation depending on your circumstances.
Consult an attorney who practices employment law for more information on your rights. Good luck.

Note that I am a Pennsylvania attorney but I can tell you to seek the advice of an attorney in your state. The answer you are looking for will depend on a number of things, including the circumstances surrounding the signing of the contract, what the terms are in the contract, and the circumstances surrounding your resignation. The contract may or may not be valid, first of all, but it still is possible they have a claim against you for breaching your contract according to whatever is specified in the agreement. Please seek the advice of a qualified attorney or try to work something out with your employer on your own. Good luck.

You need to read up on Maven terminology. "deploy" means deploying/copying to a remote repo (outside your machine). What you seem to be aiming at is "install" as installing/copying to your local repo on your machine. But, you seriously need to look into how Maven is supposed to work. Trying to fight the Maven way will just cause you pain and us on the mailing list a lot of trouble trying to patch your work. Start by getting a repo manager and set up a remote repo. You need that! Then deploy the lib and the sources lib to that repo (along with the pom you have created for those). They will have the same GAV but the sources artifact will have the "sources" classifier. Ron, if you're listening here, could you please tell Joachim how you wasted years not using a repo manager before you saw the light? /Anders On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 12:15 AM, Joachim Durchholz <email@example.com>wrote: > Am 16.01.2013 13:08, schrieb Francesco Mari: > >> Take a look at the deploy-file mojo [0].

Ratings for Dr. Marlene R. Moster
Dr. Moster was recommended to me by my optometrist that I had been seeing for nearly 20 years. Since my early 30's I've had high IOP around 22 on both eyes, nearly 10 years later I was diagnosed with Glaucoma after tests showed some vision loss. When pressure started to rise to high 20's I started using drops to manage IOP pressure. Now years after medicine and laser surgery no longer effective, I went to see Dr. Moster to see what my options were. When I talked to her she was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable, especially when she displayed a positive outlook and promised me that she wouldn't let me go blind. The first surgery was called GATT surgery, which was less invasive than Tabeculectomy, but that surgery did not go well since my eye bleed to much and she couldn't complete it. So she performed the trabeculectomy on my right and left eye. The pressure on my right eye 6 months after surgery is 11 and my left eye 1 month after surgery is 13. I am 49 years old and plan on having my site till old age, but without Dr. Moster I don't think the would be possible. I hated the thought of having surgery, but Dr. Moster was so confident in her skills that it make me believe that it was the best option, and now I do believe it, nothing else beside surgery would of helped. Dr. Moster cares very much for her patients and it shows in how she talks to you. She called me next morning to see how I was doing, even after she flew out of state to do a lecture. How amazing is that! I can't thank her enough for what she did. I will continue to see Dr. Moster, I know she is someone I can rely on for the future.
Dr. Marlene Moster was a great Ophthalmologist. She was extermely helpful and highly knowledgeable. She showed lots of care and compassion for her clients. As a patient I highly recommend her.She was very professional as well as the other staff there. Not only was she great doctor the overall staff were also. they make you feel comfortable and overall they are great at what they do.
I am a 51 year old man who has been battling glaucoma since early 20's. I have already suffered significant vision loss and have continuously searched for options to limit future loss. After a trabeculectomy 4 years ago caused immediate incremental loss of vision followed by closure which mitigated effectiveness of pressure control, I was "done" with procedures for fear of acceleration of the very loss of vision I was targeting to decelerate. Other Ophthalmologists I saw for options talked "at" me and told me what I "had to do" and were irritable when I asked "why" and "at what risk". Dr. Moster was referred to me by a trusted Ophthalmologist and my first visit was 2 years ago. The first visit outlined options but in a manner that was consultative. The second visit, almost a year later, she presented the option of canaloplasty. In the last 6 months I have had canaloplasty on both eyes, with a resulting pressure in both of 13 from 18-20. As a patient, I would recommend Dr. Moster not only for her surgical skills and experience with up to date glaucoma treatment, but also her (and her team) for creating an open, honest dialogue on options. I do think it is worthwhile to point out that in the many visits I drive to Philly to see her, every time she was educating, training, and explaining to residents and staff members. On a personal level I take this as a sign of not only her passion for "getting it right" but in the investment to teach and train others. We will see if the canaloplasty is short or long term, but I would recommend Dr. Moster and her team for top quality glaucoma care and treatment.
I have been seeing Dr Moster for about 15 years & without her I would have completely lost my vision. Dr Moster & her staff are wonderful, kind & caring. In my opinion she is the BEST glaucoma doctor in her field. Thank you, Sharkey
Dr. Moster is the bomb!!!!! She is the best eye specialist in the country displaying superb professionalism mixed with bubbly personality, honesty, and sincere about the work she does and the end result from her work. If they have ballots to select her as one of the top doctors in the nationI would be the first in line dropping her name in the ballot box. Summing up my experience, let me take a phrase form Pharell, "I'm happy"!!!!!!!
Dr,Moster always puts you at ease and finds common ground to make your visit a more personal one.Extremely knowledgeable and a good sense of humor when you need it.
Marlene Moster my eye sight saving Angel!! I met with her in 07 i was clearly in bad shape her words nearly legally blind!!!! Her medical knowledge has given me a sight she is a caring woman a woman I would want not only as my physician a friend today 2013 I am in a good place pressures are good all is well No more drops which I was on for nearly all my life I am blessed to have found her I am alone now losing my husband I feel I will be alright as long as she is there!!!!
Top notch doctor with a great deal of knowledge and a great bedside manner.
Likely one of the best glaucoma doctors in the country. She's clearly a very busy person but takes her time with you and demonstrates a very personal interest in you. She has kept my glaucoma stable for years.

A Neapolitan Love Song, in a Tel Aviv Pizzeria
People come to Da Peppe Pizzeria Napoletana, on Tel Aviv's Ibn Gabirol Street, not only for the genuine, Neapolitan-style pizza but also, and perhaps mainly, because of the owner. Giuseppe (Peppe) Giordano moved to Israel from Naples a year ago and opened the pizza parlor about six months ago. Giordano, who wrestled in high school, is a temperamental yet sensitive, artistic and funny type. He turns every anecdote into a juicy story, but doesn't take his eyes off the oven, which he imported from Italy, for a moment.
Facts about Giordano: He drinks his cola from a small glass — "Just like life, good but too short." The ringtone on his cellphone is a recording of a conversation between the crew of the Costa Concordia cruise ship and the captain who fled from it as it sank off the Italian coast in January — "They're asking him to return to the boat and he won't." His red Vespa is always parked outside the restaurant, but he refuses to make deliveries − "Anyone who wants to taste my pizza has to come here and feel the atmosphere."

@mpap89Locale: bay area
I've been working on a karo step down jacket for the last couple weeks now. I started with the Vuokatti Pullover pattern from shelby fabrics and modified to make it bigger since this isn't a stretch fabric and i don't want it skin tight. I'll be adding a full length zipper, two lower pockets and a chest pocket. I'm using m90r which seems to be the exact same fabric that i have on my Outdoor Research down jacket. I have 3 oz of 900 fill down from thru hiker to fill it it with once i get there. Right now i'm in the process of making the baffles which is taking forever. I'm using a 1/4" ratio. I did some test pieces and the down seemed to stay where it was with that low of a ratio. I'm hoping to have about 1.5-2 inches of loft.
karo template:

@marshlaw303Locale: Minnesota
4" box with 1" baffles? Is that what 1/4" means?
@mpap89Locale: bay area
Good idea with the template. That must be really time consuming to sew so many tiny baffles. Keep us updated on progress. Which things worked, which didn't, thoughts on box size after you finish, etc.

SEO, Hashtags, Geotags, Metadata, Triple Tags, tag clouds–the linguistics of the search has developed a nuanced and complex syntax of its own–that can either elevate data to a universal platform that would make Shakespeare jealous or will damn you do the depths of the www. Google recently delivered several public announcements regarding their updated search functions that will relegate content farms (web sites whose main ambition is to succeed at the Google algorithm by either copying content from other sites or creating their own content engineered to surface in searches–though not always a good qualitative match for the search) in the rankings below high quality sites that feature original content and in-depth analysis.
One such content farm, Demand Media, which relies on a significant corps of freelance writer to manufacture content which will pop up in Google, saw its stock value plummet as soon as this announcement was made. Personally, I applaud a "clean up" of the web that appears to exponentially deteriorate as far as the value of information goes. AOL and other big time players on the web have re-conceived their image as information synthesizers, pinpointing the valuable stories existing amongst the cornucopia of mediocrity involving Justin Bieber's haircut. However, with the amount of influence that Google wields, many enterprises have decided to live or die by Google because it is the quickest way to get noticed–but if you don't play your cards right like Demand Media, it can be an easy way to slip off the grid.
What is a successful Google strategy? How to feature prominently within Google's algorithms but never having to suffer the consequences of their change–do any universal and immutable SEO precepts or principles exist? I'm afraid not. However, I do believe there is a secret that differentiates those down for the long-haul from those who are here today, gone tomorrow. By implementing a deeply rooted vision predicated on a general need or desire you're set and only have to stay the course, finding new ways to connect your idea to the people. What enterprises such as Demand Media suffer from is a lack of investment; they don't seize the moment, they merely strangle it until it has no more breath of life in it.

Modern Fairy Tales
Set in the modern day, nine girls start their first day of their last year at school. Rose, the unrivalled leader of her school, her best friend Gwen, along with the rest of their group, Rachel, Jenny and Isabelle are determined to have the best last year ever. But there are problems along the way in the form of boyfriends, future careers and the new girl, Cathy, who seems to be as unlike them as possible. Each character is loosely based on a fairy tale princess, their stories mimicking their my
Well, okay, some pretty weird stuff went down this year, I can tell you that.
At the start of the year, I thought everything was going to go fine. It was our last year! The last year is always perfect. You have the big last balls, you finally get to go out to clubs, screw work, THIS is the time to be young.
Only things never turn out quite as you want them to, do they?
We're going to tell you our story. Some of us wanted to write loads and some very little, but we all contributed in our own way. Most of this stuff is from diaries so we decided to write it all in the present tense. At least, that's what Nadia said we should do. She's good at writing stories, so we listened to her advice. I think it kind of works this way anyhow.
So I hope you enjoy our story. We'll see how it goes at any rate.

Peter J. Keyes was supposedly a DEA agent leading a special task force investigating an international drug conspiracy. This was, however, only a cover for his attempts to capture the Predator as head of the government's OWLF (Other World Life Form) unit. Keyes frequently interfered with Lt. Mike Harrigan's investigation of the murders associated with the City Hunter, warning Harrigan that he was in above his head.
