Topic: Holidays & Time Zones | Posted:March 22, 2017
The portion Vayakhel-Pekudei begins with a discussion of Shabbat, the seventh day of the week, the time when the greatest Light is revealed. All the blessings that we will draw throughout the week draw their energy from Shabbat. So, it begins by saying, "These are the things that the Creator said to do." The word la'asot, which can be translated as "to do," is used. But the word la'asot actually has a completely different meaning; it means "to create."
It says also in the previous portion, Ki Tisa, that the Israelites keep or protect the Light of the Shabbat, La'asot et haShabbat, but, again, the word la'asot doesn't mean really "to do," but rather, "to create." And it says in the Midrash that if a person connects to Shabbat properly, it's not that he follows the orders of Shabbat and receives Light, but rather he is the one creating the Light of Shabbat.
The Ramchal says the free will we have is the greatest gift the Creator gives us, meaning what we are doing is actually creating reality. We are creating the spiritual tools and spiritual actions. What this reveals to us is what the Creator means when he says La'asot et haShabbat. Some of us believe that these energies of Shabbat and the Light exist, and our job is to connect to the Shabbat and the Light that exists. Or that when we read the Zohar, the Light of the Zohar exists, and our job is to connect to the Light that's in the Zohar. Or when we put on the Tefillin, the Light in the Tefillin exists, and our job is to connect to the Light in the Tefillin.
But what the Midrash and the Ramchal are telling us is that's not true. And this is an amazing understanding. The Ari speaks about the fact that there are so many actions it says in the Torah that if you do, you'll have length of days; "If you do this, you'll get this blessing. If you do this, you'll get this reward." Yet so many people do the spiritual actions and don't get the Light or reward the Torah tells us we'll get if we do these actions. Why?
Because now we can understand in a deeper way. When we come to Shabbat, and in our consciousness the Light exists and our job is to connect to the Light that exists, then we're not really connecting, because we have not created the Shabbat. We need to come to Shabbat saying there is no Light of Shabbat today and that our job is to create, with our consciousness, understanding, and desire, a Shabbat to exist. Then, we can draw the Light of Shabbat.
Now we can understand why it says that if a person, let's say, is lost in the desert, and doesn't know what day it is and doesn't know which day is Shabbat, but counts seven days, and on the seventh day, he draws the Light of Shabbat, even if it isn't really Shabbat. How is that possible? If the Light of Shabbat only exists on the seventh day, then he should only be able to connect on the seventh day. But if we understand that we are the ones who create Shabbat, we are the ones that create that feeling, then we can connect and draw the Light of Shabbat.
This is, in my mind, a Rav Berg concept. That even though we think we see the Tefillin, so we put it on our arm and it should connect us to the Light of the Creator, we actually don't realize that we're not even putting Tefillin on, because they don't exist. Rav Berg often talked about this - people think they're putting on Tefillin, but they're not really putting them on. It doesn't even exist as a spiritual tool, and the fact that it's sitting in our bag doesn't mean it exists. We have to create it into existence every time, prior to our connection. It is the same thing with the Zohar. When we open up the Zohar, most of us think, the Light of the Zohar exists, and all we have to do is connect to the Light of the Zohar. But, no. There's actually a step before that and if we're not creating it, then we can't draw that Light.
We actually have to create the spiritual tools invested with energy and Light in order to then be able to draw Light out of them. Which means when we come to Shabbat on Friday afternoon, our consciousness has to be, "I am asking the Light of the Creator to assist me in creating the Light of the Shabbat." And then we will go ahead and do all the actions of connection to draw upon the Light of Shabbat that we created. And then for those of us who put on Tefillin when we come again in the morning, we don't put it on and expect, hope, desire, or ask that the Light of the Creator shines the Light within the Tefillin to us. The first step is asking the Light of the Creator to give us the ability to create the Tefillin every day anew. Because even if we did create Tefillin yesterday, those Tefillin don't exist anymore today. So before we put them on, we have to say to the Creator, "Give me the Light to create the spiritual Tefillin. Give me the Light to be able to invest these Tefillin as a spiritual tool." Then we can put them on and connect to them. The same thing with the Zohar. Before we open up the Zohar, we have to ask the Creator to give us the Light to create the Zohar today. And only then are we going to open up the Zohar and read from it.
Now we can understand why so many people do the spiritual actions and use the tools, and it doesn't work for them. Because they didn't create them first. And therefore, the Ramchal says the greatest gift that we have is the free will which allows us to create. What does that mean? For example, a cup exists whether or not we have free will. But if, for whatever reason, let's say the Creator took away all of our free will, the cup would still exist. So, what does it mean when the Ramchal says that free will is what allows things to come into existence?
On a spiritual level, when we are not creating, the tool doesn't exist as a spiritual tool, even though it might exist as a physical reality. But it means that today, we have to create a new Zohar, we have to create a new prayer, we have to create a new Shabbat, we have to create a new tool. And then, we can draw from them. So, what does free will mean, the Ramchal asks? That unless we choose to create a new tool, it doesn't exist today from yesterday. As long as we don't create it, it doesn't exist for us; Tefillin is not Tefillin, Shabbat is not Shabbat, the Zohar is not the Zohar.
It's not very often that Moses gathers all the Israelites, but on Shabbat Vayakhel-Pekudei he does. Why? Because he's teaching them a fundamental understanding about the spiritual work. We can use the tools, but they're not there. They don't exist, because we don't create them. The Creator is telling us that before we even think to use the spiritual tools and be able to receive benefit and Light from them, we have to first create them.

Mario in Motion – An Inspiration
By: Corey Fournier
My Longtime friend and colleague Mario Labuda went in for an MRI to determine the cause of swelling in his arms and came out a Quadriplegic!
Mario was born in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia Dec 20 1942 and emigrated to Canada in 1969 to join his grandparents in Jasper Alberta. He came to Vancouver in 1974 and fell in love with the city.
I have known Mario personally for over 20 years and he is one of the hardest working, most proud Canadians you will ever meet. What has transpired in Mario's life is an absolute travesty.
Late last fall Mario was experiencing difficulty opening his apartment door and getting change from his pocket due to swelling from his wrist to his elbow in his right arm. He went to St. Paul's Hospital, received some medicine and was sent on his way. Five days later his left arm began to swell, and he returned to St. Paul's. It was thought to be the result of a pinched nerve. He underwent a routine MRI (15 Minutes) which temporarily caused him to lose the feelings in his arms and legs.
The results of the first MRI were inconclusive, and Mario was encouraged to have a second MRI, this time more thorough and lengthy (75-90 minutes). Despite his anxiety Mario was also persuaded to have spinal fluid extracted which required multiple freezing to his discs. They decided to anaesthetise Mario so he wouldn't be stressed during the noisy/disturbing second MRI.
The result was that he came out paralyzed. Within an hour he was rushed to VGH via Ambulance to undergo sudden emergency surgery to remove a growth on his cervical spine (Neck). When Mario came to he was confused and disillusioned. What's going on?? Why surgery?? It is unclear why the surgery was so rushed.
Shortly thereafter Mario caught pneumonia. His family was told to prepare for his death. They also suggested that he would be on a ventilator, feeding tube and zero quality of life. Mario's brother Peter convinced him to show them what a fighter he was, and he astonished everyone by surviving!
While in the "step down" unit after his bout with pneumonia, they (VGH) "accidentally" sent Mario into kidney failure. There was a kink in his catheter. Once again, he survived!
After all of this fighting, Mario was given physiotherapy and started to improve. He was initially told that he would be going to GF Strong (A renowned Rehabilitation centre for the disabled) so he might recover the ability to drive a power wheelchair with his hands.
After receiving the info about how to prepare for GF Strong, Mario was told he was not eligible. Because Mario is over the age of 65 he doesn't qualify for any disability assistance; No home nurses / No standard wheelchair / No power wheelchair / No Handicap vehicle service – Nothing!
What a kick in the face to someone who was NEVER the kind of person to claim EI, WCB or even Old Age Security because he didn't want to take away from other needy Canadians. He paid his taxes from the day he arrived in Canada and has loved this country completely ever since.
Despite the pitfalls and disappointments, Mario continues to fight. His positive attitude under these circumstances is nothing short of Heroic!
Now Mario is at George Pearson Centre. Although he is receiving regular physiotherapy and treatment, the environment is less than ideal for someone as able minded as Mario. He has very few people to converse with and being the sensitive soul that he is, being around such disadvantaged and sad people in horrible situations would make it difficult for anyone to stay positive. Yet, he continues to be.
The Ultimate Goal is for Mario to continue his physiotherapy until such time as he can be moved to a facility closer to downtown where he lived and loved the city. While at Pearson he is permitted to use a power wheelchair, but cannot take it with him if/when he leaves. The Good news is that Mario no longer requires the "chin drive" and has regained the ability to operate the wheelchair with a "saddle' mechanism for his hand.
His goal is to be able to use the joystick to operate the chair. This will require more fine motor skills to achieve.
But I wouldn't bet against "SuperMario" as some of his doctors have nicknamed him.
A new wheelchair will cost $22 – 28,000. A used chair $12,000 + modifications to customize it another $5 – 10,000.
There are numerous other items a person in his situation needs; Cell phone with voice activation. Just the ability to turn lights, a TV or radio On/Off require additional expenses, along with certain medical equipment/expenses.
Please Band together with us in our efforts to help Mario improve his quality of life through the use of his own power wheelchair and the ability to make his remaining days as fulfilling as possible. He certainly deserves our support and most certainly my respect for the courageous example he is for all of us.
Thank You!

The Sandman Vol 1: Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman
The Sandman Vol 1: Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman, Sam Keith (Illustrator), Mike Dringenberg (Illustrator), Malcolm Jones III (Illustrator)
The Sandman, as imagined by Neil Gaiman, is an iconic run of graphic novels that is rightfully held in high regard. The first volume, Preludes and Nocturnes, began life 25 years ago, but you wouldn't know it. The writing is not perfect, the art is inconsistent, but you have to start somewhere, and when compared against the other stuff out there, the start of The Sandman is pretty darn good.
The story follows the Lord of Dreams (who is also known as the Sandman, Morpheus, Dream, and a bunch of other different names that different cultures have given him throughout time). He is one of the Endless (along with Death, Destiny, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium), and the story begins with him being imprisoned and stripped of the tools of his office by a bunch of humans who were trying to capture Death. Preludes and Nocturnes covers the story of Dream's 70 years of imprisonment, his escape from imprisonment, and his journey to reclaim the tools of his office.
This first volume is relatively straightforward, an introduction where we get to know Dream, learn about his kingdom, and begin to understand how this universe fits together. If you didn't know, The Sandman is a DC property, so from time to time the story makes use of DC heroes and villains such as John Constantine and Dr Jonathan Crane (also known as The Scarecrow), and an attempt is made in the early chapters to turn Dream into a regular DC superhero. But as the chapters progress,Gaiman starts to steer his world away from the mainstream DC universe and carves out his own little corner of the universe where he can tell stories without having to be restricted by other DC stories.
As I mentioned before, the art in this volume is inconsistent. There appears to be a lot of uncertainty in the art style, and the first penciller Sam Keith left after a handful of issues. That said, there is some fantastic art scattered throughout the book, from Dream's tools of the trade, to some scary depictions of the locales in Hell.
All of the stories in this volume have their strengths and weaknesses, they are all high quality, but the epilogue story "A Death In The Family" is an exception, a truly great story where everything came together to explore a chilling day in the life of Death. This is one of the best single issues of a comic that I have ever read, and it is the first time I think you have an opportunity to understand why The Sandman has so much love and respect.
From my perspective, The Sandman is essential reading, and you really should start at the beginning. Preludes and Nocturnes is far from the best that The Sandman has to offer, but what it offers is still fantastic, and I can easily recommend it to any fantasy reader. In the words of Neil Gaiman - "Preludes and Nocturnes: a little night music from me to you."

|The Official Website of James Freedson-Jackson
James Freedson-Jackson was born in California, but has lived in the New York area for most of his life. Obsessed with Michael Jackson and from a very early age, James could Moonwalk practically before he could walk. This led him to the famed Alvin Ailey School pre-professional program in New York, where he worked for many years to become as accomplished a dancer, as he is an actor.
One of the biggest thrills of James' life was being chosen by Bruno Mars in February 2014, to join him in opening the 2014 Super Bowl Halftime Show, as one of twelve kids who sang the beginning of 'Billionaire' in front of millions of viewers. And getting to meet Bruno Mars!
James made his film debut in 2015 in Jon Watts' acclaimed thriller Cop Car, co-starring with Kevin Bacon, for which he received a Saturn Award Nomination for "Best Performance by a Younger Actor". His next film role, starring opposite Alex Pettyfer in Lauren Wolkstein and Christopher Radcliff's The Strange Ones, won him "Special Jury Award for Best Breakthrough Performance" at the 2017 SXSW Film Festival. On TV he was seen in the Marvel/Netflix series Jessica Jones (Episodes 8 and 9) as Young Kilgrave: the adolescent precursor to David Tennant's arch villain, and was featured on NBC's The Blacklist (The Kenyon Family) as a young boy with a with a dark past. He recently completed filming on the drama 18 to Party, by Jeff Roda. Onstage, James has played a hungry orphan in Oliver! at the Papermill Playhouse; sung nursery rhymes on the web-series The Mother Goose Club, and has lent his voice to a number of voice-overs.
James grew up backstage in the theatre; his dad is a producer, and from an early age James loved tagging along to rehearsals, watching the performers, and hanging around backstage. He learned to do magic tricks and some celebrity impersonations, and is pretty good at both!
He loves to ski, bike, hike, and shoot baskets. He's great with babies and animals, and has probably spent more time with his twin sister, Anita than with anyone else. Thank you, Jon Watts!

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson snuck in a few shots at a coal utility when testifying before the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee.
Those jabs were directed at American Electric Power, a utility company that has been vocally opposed to the EPA's planned power plant regulations under the Clean Air Act. Last week, AEP, which is one of the largest coal burning utilities in the country, claimed that the proposed EPA rules would prompt a wave of coal plant closures and job losses around the country.
Jackson wasn't buying the argument. She said the comments were "misleading at best and scare tactics at worst." Jackson made those comments following the committee meeting where senators were discussing the Clean Air Act. When delivering her testimony before the committee, Jackson called AEP's claims "doomsday" scenarios.
AEP's specific claims are that cleaning their power plants of mercury and other toxic emissions would increase electricity costs, force the closure of five coal-fired power plants and result in the loss of 600 jobs. It is a strong case to make during the current economic hole that the United States is trying to climb out of.
But Jackson has some powerful arguments in her arsenal. She decided this was the day to unload that ammo, saying that letting utilities like AEP continue to operate as they currently do would allow for 17,000 premature deaths, 120,000 cases of childhood asthma and 850,000 days of missed work due to illness.
So while AEP and Jackson go back and forth with their statistics, the reality is that the new power plant rules proposed by the EPA were announced back in March. This is important because it means the required comment period for the rules is coming to an end. AEP is requesting an extension of that comment period. Jackson told reporters that "we have to listen to those requests and we will be announcing something soon."

2019 Nissan GTR Price
The front end still shares the design signals with the road car, including the headlights and the form of clasping and splitter. However, the standard network is replaced by a precise network, while it is no longer closed down insert, but also wrapped in soft washing. The barrier below contains the same wavy shape, but it is sharper in the corners and wider to the side. 2019 Nissan GTR price - It is also made of carbon fiber and Nismo red dialects.
It also released April fog lamps and carbon fiber surrounding it, using an area for the installation of large containers stretching to the wheels. This new lid contains a large ventilation hole in the center and a fast-editing pin, while the front bumpers have openings on wheels.
To the side, the front bumpers are wider than usual, even more, ventilated alongside the skirt and behind the steering wheel. 2019 Nissan GTR price - The side of the skirt itself includes a small cooling hole in front of the exhaust that comes out and stretches closer to the Earth. An extra port in the rear bumper gives the air to the rear brake. A more red accent on side skirts and improved rear vision mirrors can be seen as relatively thin. As is usual in gt3-spec cars, the wheels of the race are Gt-r, which is a lock for medium wheels wrapped in competition tires. Large disk brakes and NISMO-brand carriers can be seen behind multiple-spoke rims.
2019 Nissan GTR price - The back is also markedly more aggressive than the standard road model. The Big Suite is the first feature that attracts attention. Although the standard Nismo GT-r system is also equipped with suites, the automotive specification component of sports is much larger and extends backward. The fascia was almost unchanged, but the publisher is completely new and more complex. We can see some air fins on both sides of the center, while there is no longer a standard quadruple exhaust pipe. Light rear glass and pin quick release to cover the luggage complete the offer.
You didn't say April much about the cabin, but that's not surprising. Cars rarely talk about the interior of the racing cars and often do not release images. Fortunately, April posted the photos, which confirmed that the GT3 compartment had a little in common with the production vehicle.
The standard cockpit has been stripped of every convenient feature. Dashboards and door panels, as well as the central pillar and floor, are also removed. Of course, this adjustment must be made by providing as much weight as possible, but some are removed to make room for the racing equipment.
2019 nissan gtr nismo price - A centralized carbon fiber pile has been added, but it is now placed again on the central console to better suit the rear seat and driver's seat. While standard kiosks are usually designed to give an interesting look, this race unit is more than a box containing color controls such as switches, buttons, and buttons. The steering wheel is a set of buttons for each paper distribution, while the handles are wrapped with the Cantara to better control.
The strongly supported seats are with carbon fiber arms and a 9-point belt of FIA. Safety is, of course, a great concern when going to the race, so the cockpit has an integrated cage and fire system. April says it is designing a new air-conditioning system for this vehicle, which reduces driver stress and ensures comfort during endurance races. This system is optional.
2019 Nissan GTR Nismo PriceApril made the biggest changes to GT3 under the skin. For beginners, the weight distribution has been improved further, and the center of gravity has been reduced by installing a 150 mm longer drive (5.9 inches). This unit is also less than the previous form. There is also a new dry flux system that helps to reduce the center of gravity and improves the reliability of lubricants. 2019 nissan gtr nismo price - The power of bending and twisting has been improved in the front and rear of the structure thanks to advanced analysis techniques. The suspension system is completely redesigned, along with the cross members, to improve the dynamics of the vehicle. The new traffic carrier prolongs the vehicle maintenance cycle, while the stronger brakes are more robust and reliable during long races.
GT-r Nismo will April GT3 face many competitors in each series will join in 2019. This list is obviously too great to be included here, so we will just look closely at the GT Endurance Cup of the bubble. While the list of competitors is not advertised for 2019, it is likely that many cars will continue this season next year as well. This series is now contested by Audi R8 LMS, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Bentley Continental GT3, Ferrari 488 GT3, Lamborghini Huracan and GT3, with many of these racing cars launched or recently updated. Go Nesmo also against Lexus RC F GT3, BMW M6 GT3, McLaren 650s GT3, 911 GT3 R. Danporsche
April did not say anything about the engine, but the GT3 model uses a dual turbo version, 3.8 liters v-6 found in a road car. The previous race car had an out of 600 horsepower and 510 pounds of torque, and I'm sure these numbers haven't changed much. While auto-updated roads tend to be stronger, this rule does not always apply in races, where most of the output of the FIA specification is set according to the power-to-weight ratio. But be assured, the Nismo GT3 car is that fast and exceeds the maximum speed of 210 miles per hour.
2019 nissan gtr nismo price - The price of a new GT-r Nismo GT3 car was set at 60 million yen, which was converted to about us$676,542 in June 2018. It was a big bonus on the road cars, which were sold at $175, 490 in the United States, but it is not a very expensive car gt3-spec made by Nismo. The posters do not include taxes. Nisan says that certain optional components and parts are needed depending on the category you want to follow, but you should contact the company for more information on this subject. Delivery is scheduled to begin in January 2019.

Pundits on Betfair have been vocal in their admiration for the start that Liverpool have made to the new season, and a great deal of the plaudits have been laid at Brendon Rodgers' feet for strengthening his squad in key areas over the off-season.
Whilst the Reds admittedly now look a lot stronger at the back following the acquisitions of Kolo Toure, Mamadou Sakho, and Tiago Ilori, there remains no obvious replacement for the mercurial talents of young Phillippe Coutinho now that the former Inter Milan midfielder finds himself out of action until the end of October.
Following his substitution after the shoulder injury forced him out of the action at the Liberty Stadium, his teammates struggled to create openings against resolute defending, the squandered possession inviting pressure on their own back four and eventually resulting in an equaliser from Michu.
This most recent setback may just slow Liverpool's early season momentum, but Brendan Rodgers will still be far happier by the talent at his disposal than he was twelve months ago with new recruits Victor Moses, Luis Alberto, and Iago Aspas providing alternative goal-threats.
Midfield creativity is the key to Liverpool's new football philosophy, and with Lucas an ever-present as the holding player alongside Gerrard, who is now playing deeper than in previous seasons, someone is required to work between the lines and pull the strings to release Daniel Sturridge.
But with the impending return of Luis Suarez – the Uruguayan sits out the final game of his suspension against Southampton this weekend – Betfair writers have suggested that Rodgers may utilise two strikers until his talisman returns.
Then, with Suarez playing in the hole just behind Sturridge, Liverpool will have found a way to pair two of the most potent strikers in the Premiership and could arguably turn a perceived position of weakness into one of strength.

The Seabrook McKenzie Centre is a charitable trust specialising in Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) offering psycho-educational assessments and specialist tuition. As many children with SLD also have motor coordination and sensory difficulties, the centre has an occupational therapist to provide them with additional specialist assessment and intervention when required.
This service is also open to any child that experiences difficulty in motor and sensory skills.
What is Occupational Therapy?
An Occupational Therapist (OT) is skilled in using a person's occupations and interests as a means for therapy. Play is a child's primary occupation, so we use this to frame and motivate the child toward sensory-motor goals.
At the Seabrook McKenzie Centre, occupational therapy involves working with children who present primarily with motor planning, coordination, and sensory difficulties, often apparent during the performance of everyday skills like handwriting, dressing, ball skills, and sequencing activities. Social interaction, following daily routines, managing changes, and regulating behaviour are also frequently reported as challenging, affecting the child's ability to engage in preschool or school.
At the Seabrook McKenzie Centre much of the therapy is clinic based; however, home, school, and community based concerns are addressed as part of the overall assessment and intervention process.
What does the assessment process involve?
The OT uses both standardised and non-standardised assessments. These may include The Movement ABC (testing balance, catching & throwing, manual dexterity), the test of Visual Motor Integration, the Sensory Profile, Developmental Observation, and the gathering of information from both the child's parents and teacher.
The assessment provides a baseline for therapy, recommendations for the school context, and a basis for home programme activities.
What happens after the assessment?
A comprehensive report is sent 3-4 weeks following the assessment. This will include the results and observations of the assessment and recommendations for any further assessment that may be appropriate. Recommended follow-up in terms of intervention as well as suggestions for home and school will also be given.
Ongoing therapy varies according to the individual child and family. Some children attend clinic therapy sessions for long term periods, for others, a smaller block of sessions is sufficient. For others, especially those living out of town, home programmes can be provided. The therapy is tailored to the individual child and works off the basis of the occupational therapy assessment.
1:1 clinic sessions
Therapy may include working on foundation skills such as balance, bilateral coordination, motor planning and sequencing, as well as fine-motor coordination, following a sensory integrative based approach. Therapy may also include working on functional skills as appropriate to the child's needs, such as tying shoelaces, catching, skipping and handwriting.
Developmental Dyspraxia or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) affects a person's ability to plan and complete fine and/or gross motor movement.
For each skill or task we do there is a three step process that happens in our brain. You have to first have an idea or understand what you need to achieve, then to think of or have a pre-prepared plan, and then lastly execute this plan. For a person with dyspraxia there may be challenges at any or all points along this process.
Because of this, dyspraxia presents differently in different people depending on where in this process is affected and to what degree. A child with dyspraxia can have challenges with any of the following:
A child with dyspraxia can appear clumsy, bump into objects, drop things, and fall over more often than expected. They can also appear to have behavioural difficulties. This can stem from their frustration with their symptoms. Developmental dyspraxia can be associated with other diagnoses such other specific learning difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The case will turn on the proper interpretation of Alabama's unauthorized practice of law statute, which I will not attempt to unpack here. I will, however, express sympathy with attorneys who are annoyed at LegalZoom and services like it.
The most profound issue with a form book (via online service or otherwise) is that use of the forms can create a tremendous false sense of security while potentially devastating problems linger unaddressed. I once gleaned from the web the case of an individual whose father made a LegalZoom will and died assuming his estate plan was properly made.
Much to the dismay of the son, it was not: LegalZoom, it was alleged, didn't remind the father to properly title his bank accounts such that they pass pursuant to the will. The result was that in excess of a hundred thousand dollars went to the wrong heir because that heir's (and not the son's) name was on the joint bank account.
So to the query "isn't a LegalZoom will better than no will at all," my usual reply is "no."

49ers vs. Broncos 2010 NFL Picks, NFL Predictions & Vegas Odds: The San Francisco 49ers (1-6) and Denver Broncos (2-5) travel to London, England to play a non-conference NFL picks match-up in week eight of the NFL predictions season, but making a trans-Atlantic flight to another continent might not be far enough away for both of these teams to escape their disastrous NFL picks seasons this year. The Vegas odds makers had to pick someone to win so they have chosen the 49ers as -2½(-110) point NFL predictions favorite in Wembley Stadium.
The 49ers might have sunk to a new low last week as they lost to the winless Carolina Panthers 23-20. This week, San Francisco goes in a different direction with Troy Smith at quarterback replacing Alex Smith who is out with a shoulder strain. Frank Gore has gained over 100 yards on the ground this NFL picks season and, after watching Darren McFadden gouge the Broncos last week, he should be licking his chops. After scoring touchdowns in consecutive NFL picks contests, receiver Michael Crabtree had an off game last week but needs to show since tight end Vernon Davis is questionable. Defensively, their inability to consistently rush the passer or get the big turnover has hurt the 49ers who are ranked in the middle of the pack in yards allowed.
While the 49ers are reeling, the Broncos are nothing short of a train wreck this NFL predictions season. The team has lost three consecutive NFL picks contests, including last week's mauling by the Oakland Raiders, at home, no less, 59-14. Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong, and the Raiders never put their foot off the gas. McFadden rushed for 165 yards and had 4 touchdowns, the offense picked-up more than 500 yards, and the Broncos committed three turnovers. Denver still cannot defend the run or run the ball, at all. Kyle Orton and Brandon Lloyd have been bright spots offensively but even they have tailed-off as of late. If the Broncos' players have any self-respect, they will come out and play hard. In a neutral site NFL picks conteszt in London, though, expect a low energy atmosphere and perhaps a sloppy game for teams jumping as many as four time zones. The 49ers cover the Vegas spread in a week 8 NFL picks battle everyone in America is glad they do not have to pay to watch.

Engagement rings are surprisingly complex items to value. Diamonds have over 20 main factors that govern their value. At WP Diamonds we have world class experts that have superior industry connections. We will return the most competitive offer possible in the context of the market.
- The 4'cs – color, clarity, cut and carat weight are the basic ingredients of determining value

- The condition of the diamond. Are there any chips or abrasions? If so the price will be affected
- Your return % of the retail price will depend on the buyer your select and what kind of deal you got when it was purchased
- Market conditions. Is the shape of your stone in fashion? Are the proportions of your stone desirable in the market?
If your stone is GIA certified and has an Excellent Cut Grade your stone is likely to fetch a premium. You can learn more about GIA Cut Grade here.
Where to sell an engagement ring?
Selecting the correct outlet/buyer for your engagement ring is important as it will enable you to achieve the price you want and to sell in a safe and secure manner.

|Direct Online
|Very fast and with good returns
|Finding a trustworthy buyer is not always easy
|At Auction

|Variable prices mean uncertain returns and selling can take a long time
|Results can be impressive if give long enough

|Private Buyer
|Returns can be high

What types of engagement ring can you sell?
At WP Diamonds, we specialize in buying engagement rings with at least one diamond of 0.5ct + or designer brand engagement rings (Tiffany, Cartier, Harry Winston etc).
If you have a certificate from the GIA, IGI, or EGL USA, for example, the initial estimate you are given is going to be very close to the final offer made. Labs are independent and are experts at grading diamonds. The GIA, for example, is an industry leading Gemological Laboratory. Send us the information from your Certificate to get an accurate initial valuation.
|Where is The Value
|Round Cut
|A GIA certified stone with an Excellent cut grade then it could carry up to a 30% premium.
|Round diamonds will retain more value than fancy shaped diamonds.
|Princess Cut
|Diamonds with a VS or SI clarity grade are doing especially well
|Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Rings are the second most popular shaped diamond
|Other Fancy Shapes
|Ovals and Pear shaped diamonds are currently producing good returns.
|Fancy shapes are less traded and less popular so are less value than the same weight round stone
|The center diamond is usually slightly larger than the two side stones.
|Each stone should be valued for its own attributes to maximize price.
|Shoulder Set
|The center stone should hold the majority of the value and a certificate generally only covers this diamond.
|The smaller diamonds also hold some value and they should be included in the final offer.
How To Find The Right engagement ring buyer?
2020欧洲杯直播平台Finding the right buyer for your engagement ring should not turn into an ordeal. By following some simple advice you can shortcut the normal pain points and conduct a successful sale.
- Research their reputation both online and offline if necessary, look at Yelp, Google + reviews
- Choose a buyer with a Better Business Bureau Rating and look at their history on the BBB website
- Look out for the price range a buyer will give you, for example a range of $2000-$4000 for a GIA certified stone is too wide
- Analyze their communications. Are they available via phone? Do they respond quickly? Are their emails professional?
- Does the buyer have a physical location? If you can setup an appointment in addition to selling online you can be more assured
- A serious buyer should be willing to provide free insurance and free shipping. If a company is asking you to cover the costs, think twice.
Why sell engagement rings online?

NASA is not what it used to be. In fact, it is not even close to what it was during the Apollo era, and there even exists a slightly derogatory term to describe the NASA of today- Old Space. The term refers to the fact that the Agency is overly cautious, bullied by Congress, cash-strapped, but more importantly, still hung up on the successes of the Apollo years, no matter how great those successes had been.
NASA is also used to dealing only with the traditional giants in the space industry- Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Grumman, and Northrop. Dealing with competition from upstart entrepreneurs presents a whole new ball game, and that is precisely why space exploration needs the upbeat, vibrant, and commerce-oriented inputs of entrepreneurs that have progressed beyond the PowerPoint stages of space exploration.
These entrepreneurs can say to NASA "Here are our rockets. Here are our records of successful launches. Here is our commitment to safety and reliability, and given the opportunity, we can put men on other worlds- just like you did. In short, here is why you need us, the entrepreneurs."
Entrepreneurs have the money
It is no secret that NASA is utterly dependent on Congress for its funding, but Congress has other priorities than chasing down planets around other stars, with the result that NASA is very often, and some would say, perennially underfunded. Moreover, the lion's share of NASA's budget allocations go toward salaries and other overheads that space entrepreneurs don't have.
NASA received an allocation of $17.5 billion for 2015, with which it has to do EVERYTHING, which is a problem the entrepreneurs don't have. Although their budgets are much more modest (and often undisclosed), they can focus on specific areas of interest, which costs less, because there are fewer people and less equipment involved.
Many private space ventures are bankrolled by private fortunes, and others are crowd-funded, but wherever the money comes from, less of it is required to achieve results that are comparable to those achieved by NASA on a similar scale. It's all about the money, and the entrepreneurs have more of it, since they don't have to beg for it.
Entrepreneurs inspire
While the Apollo program inspired a nation, the entrepreneurs are now inspiring thousands of youngsters to study science, maths, and engineering, since they can see the results of years of slogging through colleges and universities.
The Apollo program was run by the Government, for the Government, and there was no room for private initiative. The entrepreneurs are changing all of that- they are creating opportunities for thousands of university graduates, which can only serve to inspire more students to become scientifically literate and knowledgeable.
Entrepreneurs contribute to the economy
Of course, NASA also contributes to the economy, but only indirectly so by means of paying taxable salaries to thousands of employees, skilled and otherwise. NASA also does not have to show a profit on which it can be taxed; all they have to do is to show that no money was wasted in the previous year.
What comes in the front door in the form of money, goes out the back door in the form of disbursements to contractors, and nothing, or very little gets ploughed back into the organization in the form of research into new technologies.
Entrepreneurs on the other hand, have to make profits to stay in business, and the more profits they make, the more money gets spread around to employees, contractors, and suppliers, all of whom pay taxes on the profits they make as a result of the space entrepreneurs being profitable.
All of the above is a gross oversimplification of the issue, but the fact remains that between them, space entrepreneurs spread more money around than NASA does. Most of the big spends by NASA go to large industrial conglomerates like Boeing, Lockheed-Martin and others, each with thousands of stock holders, few of whom get big enough shares of the profits to be taxed on them in meaningful ways.
Entrepreneurs develop new technologies
It would be grossly unfair to say that NASA does not develop new technologies; it does so and part of the reason why we have learned so much about the Universe during the last 20 years or so is because of new technologies developed by NASA.
However, space entrepreneurs are free to develop, or improve existing technologies to satisfy their own particular needs, like for instance, more cost effective rocketry. The privately funded space company, SpaceX, is currently leading the race to develop fully fully re-usable launch vehicles launch vehicles with their Falcon-9 rocket, which has seen several successful test flights, but also some notable disasters and failures.
In fact, SpaceX is the main supply contractor to the International Space Station with its Dragon spacecraft, the only craft currently able to ferry supplies up, and to bring meaningful amounts of waste back to earth.
Currently, NASA has no flight capability to resupply the ISS, and it is wholly dependent on private enterprise and the Russian Soyuz program to keep the astronauts on the ISS alive, which is perhaps the most compelling reason why NASA, and the space exploration industry in general need space entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs are explorers
Private space exploration initiatives don't always have it their own way; there are many detractors who refer to companies like SpaceX, Orbital Sciences, and others as mere dabblers who will never get beyond earth orbit, but the truth is that NASA has had no recent successes in this area either.
Privately-funded space exploration may be in its infancy, but the fact that it exists at all is eloquent proof that just as mankind's forebears left Africa to explore the world, so will the initiatives now being explored by space entrepreneurs serve as the foundation for deep space exploration by future generations.
Space is indeed the final frontier, and while Old Space is sometimes quick to point out that what the young upstart space entrepreneurs are now doing has been done decades before, Old Space is slow to mention the fact that it, and no one else had allowed the art of building giant rockets to die out.
They should be thanking the entrepreneurs for trying to revive it, and that is perhaps the most important reason why Old Space needs the space entrepreneurs, if not the most compelling one.

{recent reads: family (dys)function}
{The Wangs vs the World by Jade Chang} Charles Wang left his native China to pursue the American dream. Unlike many who do the same, he is wildly successful, building a business and providing his family--his wife and three young adult children--more than enough. By society's standards, they are beyond wealthy and used to living well. However, Charles makes a slew of poor business decisions, and in the blink of an eye loses everything that he worked so hard to amass. Angry at America, Charles's solution to get his life back together is to round up his kids, drive across country, and go back to China to reclaim his family's ancestral lands. Despite the bleak description, this was a fun read with characters, many of whom I was unsure of at first, I was eventually charmed into rooting for. My rating: 3.5/5 stars.
{The Resurrection of Joan Ashby by Cherise Wolas} Joan Ashby is a critically acclaimed writer, completely committed to her craft. She falls in love and marries someone she believes is as driven as she is, and they agree: absolutely no children. Of course, she winds up pregnant. To her surprise, her husband is thrilled, and she decides to add "mother" to her identity, where "writer" once held a singular place. She immerses herself in motherhood, but continues to seek ways to make writing part of her life once again. After decades of work while her children were sleeping or occupied, she completes her novel; one that had been much-anticipated by the literary world once, but that has been long since forgotten. Before she can submit her manuscript and bask in the glory of her accomplishment, her life is turned upside down by a betrayal by one of the very people she sacrificed her very identity for. Unlike The Wangs vs. the World, this novel was more introspective and character-driven; it was not a light or quick read. However, I found myself completely absorbed. The writing is beautiful, and I loved the exploration of the themes of identity, motherhood, and sacrifice. My rating: 4/5 stars.
Memorable quote: "Joan thinks then that writers have infinite choices and mothers nearly no choice at all."
{My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent} Since her mother's death, Turtle Alveston has lived an isolated existence with her father Martin. While she knew their off-the-grid, survivalist life wasn't necessarily normal, she resigned herself to it and with it, the complicated and abusive relationship with her father. However, meeting a boy with a life altogether different from hers opens Turtles eyes, and she begins to see her reality from a new perspective. With triggers galore (sexual abuse, violence, language), this was a tough read, emotionally. It was dark, raw, and gritty, and Tallent's portrayal of Turtle was fittingly complex; she was neither the downtrodden victim nor the bright and shining hero, but a believable mix of both. This one ran me through the wringer but it's one I'm glad I read. My rating: 3.5/5 stars.
{Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie} After her mother's death, Isma put her dream of going to America to study on hold in order to care for her younger siblings. Once they're mostly grown, Isma embraces her freedom and leaves London to study under her American mentor. She worries about her sister Aneeka, still in London, and her brother Parvaiz, who has disappeared, they fear, to follow in the footsteps of their jihadist father. When Eamonn, the son of a local and controversial politician, enters their lives, their already fragile relationships become even more tenuous. Home Fire examines what it means to be loyal, the importance of family, and how the "right thing" isn't always clear. My rating: 3.5/5 stars.
{Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng} In case you've been living under a rock and haven't heard about this book (it's everywhere, right?), it's the story of a family in the planned community of Shaker Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Unlike most of the other books mentioned here, the Richardson family's dysfunction is only visible under the surface. It takes the arrival of Mia Warren and her daughter Pearl, moving into the Richardson's rental home, to bring the family's issues to a head. I was somewhat wary to read this, as I was one of the few who didn't love Everything I Never Told You, but Little Fires far exceeded my expectations. If you pick up any of these, make it this one. My rating: 4/5 stars.
Memorable quote: "It's not that she was afraid. It was simply that Shaker Heights, despite its idealism, was a pragmatic place, and she did not know how to be anything else. A lifetime of practical and comfortable considerations settled atop the spark inside her like a thick, heavy blanket."
Have you read any good family dramas lately?

November 15, 2018
The trustees of the Jessie Ball duPont Fund awarded River Counties Community Foundation, Kilmarnock, Virginia, an affiliate of the Community Foundation for a greater Richmond, $50,000 to establish the Jessie Ball duPont Community Building Fund.
The grant was among 22 awards, valued at $1.3 million, made by the trustees during their fall meeting.
The new funding vehicle expands the Jessie Ball duPont Fund's ability to invest in organizations in Virginia's Northern Neck, specifically the seven counties served by the Fund. Many of the area organizations currently providing the most critical work for people in need either were not in existence during Mrs. duPont's lifetime or are not eligible for support from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund because of the restrictions in her will.
The partnership with the River Counties Community Foundation will complement the ongoing work with the Fund's current grantees, providing greater flexibility in the Fund's strategic grantmaking, and expanding important community services by leveraging local dollars with collaborative investments.
Also approved at the trustee meeting was a $50,400 grant to St. Mary's Whitechapel Episcopal Church, Lancaster, Virginia, to work in partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Northern Neck to continue providing access to high-quality after-school programming to youth in Upper Lancaster County.
The Jessie Ball duPont Fund works to expand access and create opportunity by investing in people, organizations and communities that were important to Jessie Ball duPont. The Fund has assets of $309 million and has awarded more than $376 million in grants since 1977.

Brazilian Fuel Economy Labels for CarsSunday, December 28th, 2008
Latin America, it seems, is becoming more interested in fuel economy. I wrote in an August post about Chile's proposal for a fuel efficiency/greenhouse gas emission label for cars, and more recently about Mexico's new government website for consumers to use in shopping for fuel-efficient vehicles. Now it's Brazil's turn. In November its National Institute […]
Outlook for "Green Jobs" / Prognóstico para "empleos verdes"Monday, December 15th, 2008

Sometimes called the color matching module (CMM), the color management engine interprets ICC profiles. Acting as a translator, the color management engine converts the out-of-gamut colors from the source device to the range of colors that can be produced by the destination device. The color management engine may be included with the CMS or may be a separate part of the operating system.
Translating to a gamut—particularly a smaller gamut—usually involves a compromise, so multiple translation methods are available. For example, a color translation method that preserves correct relationships among colors in a photograph will usually alter the colors in a logo. Color management engines provide a choice of translation methods, known as rendering intents, so that you can apply a method appropriate to the intended use of a color graphic. Examples of common rendering intents include Perceptual (Images) for preserving color relationships the way the eye does, Saturation (Graphics) for preserving vivid colors at the expense of color accuracy, and Relative and Absolute Colori-metric for preserving color accuracy at the expense of color relationships.

Back and to the Left: MARVEL Makes ZOMBIES ASSEMBLE #1 Returnable Because of Format
The first isue of Marvel's Zombies Assemble is being made fully-returnable due to an apparent oversight in how it was solicited.
Zombies Assemble is a serialized reprint of Yusaku Komiyama's manga tale which pits the Avengers against hordes of zombies, localized by writer Jim Zub. The series is being printed in the original manga reading format, in which panels are read right-to-left and the book itself read back-to-front, with the spine on the right side of the book - the opposite configuration most American and European comic books use.
Because this atypical format was not disclosed in the initial solicitation, Marvel has made the series' first issue fully returnable by retailers. Zombies Assemble #1 is due out on shelves May 17.

At certain stages in life, one stops and looks at the purpose of existence or his/her "mission." Organizations do likewise: always attending to their mission and purpose of existence in order to rise up to it.
As part of a bigger academic institution, ICP's mission has always been that of "human capital development." Having defined that ultimate goal, ICP has devoted its continuous effort in recent years to determine the best path to arrive at that goal. In order to build on its long history of existence, the best path was to expand into larger and more sustainable programs that respond to the needs of the Palestinian community.
Centers of excellence are being created to ensure projects are mainstreamed into permanent programs with clear goals and objectives. Even if those centers are still being shaped up and built upon, we believe they are the start for guaranteeing further projects that contribute to their growth.
To begin, ICP managed to increase its longer-term projects (more than one year) from less than one to over seven projects currently being implemented. We provided the needed human resources, as well as the required facilities and logistics to ensure efficient implementation of these projects. We currently have 15 full-time staff. We have also renovated, through the support of our donors, the Mar Andrea building, which is being utilized for offices, training halls, as well as incubation facilities for some projects.
Evaluation of quality of our services is continuous: internally, externally, and through our beneficiaries. Numerous projects succeeded in design and implementation, and in many of them were labeled as "first time successes" in Palestine. Examples included the first professional diplomas using blending learning and the internet technology, first "E-Business Diploma," first "Small Enterprises Diploma," first "Project Management Diploma," first "Public Administration Diploma," first "Cooperative Diploma," and first "Prevention and Intervention of Drug Abusers." Several projects excelled and received positive feedback from partners locally and internationally, resulting in renewed projects and additional grants. We acknowledge, however, that self-assessment and continuous revision of programs is a necessity in order to succeed with the responsibilities we have assumed.
We believe in promoting solid technical, entrepreneurial, and managerial education, and providing access to such education to as many individuals and organizations as possible, while always recognizing and emphasizing the need to develop a common strategic vision and definition for development in Palestine.
ICP prides itself in offering a unique blend of components in order to provide high-quality training activities, organizational development, and consulting services. Community planning is conducted on a continuous basis to promote cooperative working between organizations in order to develop a shared strategic vision for local community, sector, or geographical area; providing greater opportunities for community participation; and encouraging more integrated service delivery across organizational boundaries.
Finally, a warm "thank you" to all our friends, supporters, and our team at ICP and Bethlehem University, all of whom have been the fuel for our work. But most importantly, we thank our beneficiaries, whom we do not consider as recipients of services, but as equal partners in designing and implementing programs that contribute to the overall development of our country.
Dr. Moussa Rabadi, Director

Twenty seconds. That's how long it took for Maryland's sunny-weather, Senior Day mood to be punctured as Virginia bolted to a touchdown on its first offensive play, producing a swift smattering of boos from Terps fans whose team has now lost five straight games.
Virginia's 31-13 victory Saturday contained many of the elements that have characterized Maryland's recent losses -- inconsistent tackling, errors (five turnovers) and a string of dropped passes that seemed to mystify the quarterbacks and coach Randy Edsall.
Maryland has made a habit of getting behind quickly -- but this seemed to set a land-speed record. Virginia running back Perry Jones burst off right tackle for a 47-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage.
As Jones sailed into the end zone, Terps senior defensive tackle Maurice Hampton said he thought to himself: "Come on, really, guys? We've got to get it together." Safety Eric Franklin said he had a hold of Jones but was blocked off.
Hampton was among 15 Terps seniors honored under cloudless skies in a pre-game ceremony marking their final home contest. The seniors received pictures of themselves and framed "Maryland Pride" jerseys -- the splashy ones worn in the season-opening win over Miami, their last victory over a Football Bowl Subdivision team.
After Jones' initial run -- some in the announced crowd of 37,401 at Byrd Stadium had barely arrived -- Maryland rebounded to take a 13-7 lead.
But then the Terps (2-7, 1-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) collapsed. Virginia, behind Jones (22 carries, 139 yards) and quarterback Michael Rocco (23-for-35, 307 yards), scored 24 consecutive points.
The Cavaliers (6-3, 3-2), who became bowl-eligible for the first time since 2007, rolled up 527 yards.
As the game moved deep into the second half, many spectators departed and the stadium was left strangely quiet. The loudest cheers came from the stadium corner where the orange-clad Virginia fans and their band sat.
Maryland was officially eliminated from the bowl picture and assured of a losing season in Edsall's first year at the school.
"It's something we never imagined," quarterback Danny O'Brien said. "We definitely didn't imagine [this in] preseason, but here we are. I think the worst thing about it was losing this game for the seniors."
O'Brien was asked whether the Terps, who have lost seven of their past eight games, were improving. The redshirt sophomore seemed to momentarily struggle with the question.
"In certain areas, we're getting better," O'Brien said, clearly trying to be upbeat. He later said, "I don't know if we're getting better or not" because the team has not won in more than a month.
Edsall had said Maryland had dropped eight passes in last week's loss to Boston College. The performance against Virginia seemed no better. "I don't know what else to do," he said. "We do ball drills during the week. We work on looking the ball in and going back to the ball."
O'Brien and C.J. Brown split time in the contest. O'Brien was 16-for-36 for 241 yards but threw two interceptions. Brown passed for just 28 yards and ran for 24 but led the team's only touchdown drive.
It came in the second quarter. After running for 25 yards on the previous play, Brown threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to tight end Devonte Campbell to put the Terps on top 10-7.
A 20-yard field goal by Nick Ferrara made it 13-7.
But Rocco found a wide-open Kevin Parks on a 35-yard touchdown pass, putting Virginia back in front 14-13 with 1:34 left before halftime.
"I think it was a missed assignment," Edsall said of the touchdown play.
Virginia drove 95 yards and held the ball for 5:56 its first possession of the second half, increasing the margin to 21-13.
The Cavaliers were led on defense by senior safety Rodney McLeod, who had three interceptions -- the first Virginia player with that many since 1996.
"I just had a magnet today," McLeod said.
Edsall said of the Terps: "We have to go and get better."
"I don't think that anyone checked out today," the coach said. "These young men know that we have Notre Dame next week, and we are going to play as hard as we can."
Franklin said it might lift the team knowing it will play such a well-known team as the Irish on national television at FedEx Field in Landover on Saturday night.
"It's a big game everybody will be watching," Franklin said.
Twenty seconds. That's how long it took for Maryland's sunny-weather, Senior Day mood to be punctured as Virginia bolted to a touchdown on its first offensive play, producing a swift smattering of boos from Terps fans whose team has now lost five straight games.

How to irritate your family when bored with the conversation over Christmas: watch YouTube videos on your mobile phone!
It might be irritating to others but portable video is pervasive, and in a follow up to yesterday's link/story on YouTube eroding television viewing, here's the techcrunch response telling us to just get over television and move on.
I've long been citing Rushkoff who said that it's not content that's king, but contact. There's now a useful presentation which suggests that aggregation and context might be king rather than content. Either way, YouTube delivered to your portable internet device or your desktop pc is compelling because it combines the delight of frontier media, peer review and subject choice with the content itself. Call it context or consider it a basis for contact, it's still true that content alone is insufficient to attract us anymore. And as portable media display devices become cheaper to adopt, and telecommunications packages for next gen internet connectivity become more affordable, the dominance of ad hoc video sources such as YouTube over traditional media is only set to grow.
