This article is the fourth in a series of nine articles explaining the Eight Goals of a Good Estate Plan. In this Article we will discuss using Powers of Attorney to avoid the necessity of lengthy and costly guardianship proceedings if you become mentally incompetent.
If you become mentally incompetent, whether through injury, disease, or simply old age, your spouse or next of kin cannot simply take over the management of your financial affairs and major life decisions. If your loved one would like to sell your house or access your accounts for your benefit, or check you into a long-term care facility, he or she will not be able to do so unless either:
If you do not have powers of attorney in place when you become mentally incompetent, a guardianship proceeding is the only method by which your loved ones will be able to take the actions necessary for your care. A guardianship proceeding is a court case by which the court decides who will be appointed as your legal guardian. After your prospective guardian submits a petition to be named guardian, along with several accompanying documents prepared by an attorney, the court will hold a formal hearing (often after several court dates) to determine who will be your legal guardian. The end result of this hearing is a court order appointing your guardian.
We want to avoid guardianship for three reasons:
Guardianship proceedings can be avoided by executing a Power of Attorney for Property and a Health Care Power of Attorney prior to becoming mentally incompetent. Note: Once you have become mentally incompetent, it is too late to execute these documents.
A Power of Attorney for Property names an agent and a successor agent to make legal and financial transactions on your behalf if you are no longer mentally competent to do so. Upon receiving a doctor's certification that you are mentally incompetent. The agent named in your Power of Attorney for Property will be able to undertake these transactions and sign on your behalf by showing the certification and a copy of the Power of Attorney. Your successor agent will be able to act for you if your initial agent is unwilling or unable to do so, either because he or she too is mentally incompetent, or because he or she predeceased you. Therefore, because your agent and successor agent have been granted authority to act by your Power of Attorney, they will not be required to institute a guardianship proceeding in order to undertake these financial and legal transactions.
A Health Care Power of Attorney names (1) an agent and a successor agent to make healthcare decisions on your behalf ; and (2) a guardian of your person to make major life decisions for you should you not be mentally capable to do so. If you are unconscious or mentally incompetent, your healthcare agent will make decisions such as whether to undertake a risky surgery or whether to terminate life sustaining treatment in the event of a coma. The guardian of your person named in your Healthcare Power of Attorney will make decisions such as where you will live and whether you will be checked into a long-term care facility, as well as any other life decisions that do not fall within the financial sphere. In the absence of a Health Care Power of Attorney, a guardianship proceeding would be necessary in order to allow your spouse or next of kin to make such life decisions on your behalf.
In addition to guardianship avoidance, the Healthcare Power of Attorney is beneficial because having a decision-maker named in advance avoids the possibllity of costly and painful litigation between family members over your medical and life decisions.
In a previous article, we discussed the use of revocable living trusts to avoid probate. An ancillary benefit of revocable living trusts is that, if you become mentally incompetent, the successor trustee that you name in your trust will be able to manage trust assets for your benefit without the necessity of a guardianship proceeding. The distinction between the powers granted to the agent in your Power of Attorney for Property and the powers granted to the trustee of your trust is that the trustee can only transact business with respect to trust assets, while the agent named in your Power of Attorney can make all financial and legal decisions and transactions on your behalf.
Healthcare and Property Powers of Attorney tend to be extremely affordable. I consider these documents to have the most "bang for your buck" relative to other estate planning documents. Spending a small amount of time and money to plan ahead of time for your mental incompetency can save your loved ones massive amounts of time and money when and if such mental incompetency occurs.
Please feel free to comment on this article with any thoughts or questions. I will do my best to promptly respond. If you find this article helpful, I encourage you to share it with your friends and family. We are never too busy for your referrals.

When I graduated from college, it wasn't uncommon for my friends to pick a place on a map and move across the country to find jobs. Over a decade later, Grand Rapids has become a bright spot on the map where people from all over the country want to move.
We owe much of this exciting movement to the community of locally owned businesses that continue to cultivate a culture that makes Grand Rapids a great place to live and work. Working hand in hand with our community, we have created a culture that supports locally owned businesses, good-paying jobs, more sustainable business practices and vibrant local neighborhoods. We have seen businesses in agriculture, manufacturing, retail, tourism and other services spurred by our local first movement. That all leads to more dollars staying right here in our community as businesses work together to source their products or services.
This year, Local First is celebrating 15 years. As I look back on those 15 years there are so many examples of how once far-out ideas or concepts have become normal for how West Michigan does business together.
I remember when Street Party became one of the very first events in Grand Rapids to serve locally made beer and people didn't know what to do. They looked around for brands they already knew, but as local brands grew, people quickly caught on and now local is the new normal. Now when you visit local restaurants and grocery stores, you see dozens of locally owned brands, which is pretty cool. This is just one example that signifies the growth of the local first movement right in our own backyard and how it's turned Grand Rapids into an industry leader.
These days it's also not uncommon for "triple bottom line" to pop up in conversations around the business community. Fifteen years ago, no one would have really known what that meant; yet today, we are home to the majority of Michigan-based B Corps. Sustainability and putting people first are now conversations that are happening more than ever and businesses are incorporating these values into their mission and vision statements, which is also pretty cool to see.
A big part of supporting local is also supporting people. There has been a heightened conversation around shifts in how we create more equitable communities and increase access to opportunity. While we still have a long way to go, we are making progress as a community and taking action to create more opportunities for all people who call West Michigan home.
Looking ahead to the next 15 years, it's my hope that phrases like "triple bottom line" and "people-first economy" are a part of everyday conversation. I hope that Grand Rapids becomes the intersection of purpose and profit, where companies and people move because they know they can invest in their community. I also want to see the inclusion conversation continue and advance, and for the demographics of local ownership to represent the demographics of our vibrant and growing community. I also hope that we continue to build this great place together while making sure people can afford to live here too.
I am so proud of our community and how far we've come over the last 15 years, and I am grateful for our growing community of over 800 locally owned businesses. Let's keep the momentum going by continuing to support each other in business, engage in conversations that push us to be better than we were yesterday, and commit to meeting new people and shopping in different communities. At the heart of local first is people, and by continuing to put people first in business and in our community, we will be able to cultivate a culture of local first for many generations to come.

Odontogenic tumors (OTs) are lesions that develop exclusively on maxillary bones, and form a heterogeneous group. Odontogenic tumors (OTs) develop exclusively on gnathic bones through the proliferation of odontogenic tissues (epithelial, mesenchymal or both). According to their origins, they are divided into epithelial, ectomesenchymal, and mesenchymal. The lesions were most prevalent in the age group between 21 and 30 years. Among the radiopaque lesions two cases were odontomas (67%), and one case was cementoblastoma (33%). Nine cases (12%) had no information concerning radiographic characteristics: seven were odontoma (78%), one case was myxoma (11%), and one case was central odontogenic fibroma (COF, 11%) in Brazil. Recent Epidemologic studies revealed that the prevalence of Odontogenic Tumors in Brazil was 0.5%.
Microscopically, squamous odontogenic tumor appears as islands of bland squamous epithelium (no cellular atypia or mitotic figures) without an inflammatory infiltrate. Peripheral palisades are not seen. The epithelial islands are occasionally closely associated with bone spicules. There is superficial resemblance to ameloblastoma (acanthomatous type) and well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Researches are focusing on Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study on Pediatric Oral Lesions, Differential expression of TLR3 and TLR4 in keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT): A comparative immunohistochemical study in primary, recurrent, and nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS)-associated lesions.

Psychology Department
Center for Marital and Family Studies
The Center for Marital and Family Studies (CMFS) opened in September of 1980, founded and directed by Professor Howard Markman. Under the guidance of Dr. Markman and Dr. Scott Stanley, the Center has grown steadily in the range of studies over the years, with hundreds of resulting publications and presentations to scholars in the field of research on couples. The Center is the home for studies in three broad categories:
Building knowledge of risk and protective factors for marital distress and divorce;
Development of knowledge on the effectiveness of marriage/relationship education (including knowledge of the internationally known Prevention and Relationships Enhancement Program (PREP);
The study of couple development, including a strong focus on commitment dynamics and cohabitation.
The Center is currently home for four large, federally supported studies. Three of these are large, randomized effectiveness trials of relationship education and one is a study of relationship development (and cohabitation dynamics) using a large, longitudinal, national sample of couples at key developmental stages. (See Current Studies for details.)
Our research team, as well as others, is using this information to continue developing intervention programs to enhance the quality of marital and family relationships. The Center currently operates under the direction of Howard Markman, Scott Stanley, Galena Rhoades, and Elizabeth Allen.

Louth TD Gerry Adams has expressed his concern at the number of assaults on HSE staff in the RCSI group which covers Louth County Hospital and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda.
Teachta Adams said:
"According to a Parliamentary response to my colleague Teachta Louise O'Reilly there have been 39 assaults on HSE staff in RCSI Hospital Group in the first five and a half months of this year.
Most of these assaults have been on nurses and midwifes. The statistics of assaults for all of the hospital groups revealed that 249 of the 279 who were assaulted were nurses and midwifes.
This is an alarming figure. More needs to be done to ensure the safety of staff".
Gerry Adams added:
"Nurses and midwifes are central to the delivery of our public health services. It is unacceptable that they should face such high levels of threat and assault.
"The HSE, and the Minister for Health, need to increase measures to reduce the number of assaults on our front line HSE staff.
"One measure that could be introduced quickly would be to employ more security staff.
"Workers in Louth County Hospital and Our Lady of Lourdes Drogheda do an amazing job in caring for the health needs of patients. They should be able to work in an environment free from threat or physical assault."

Showtime's 'Happyish' Canceled After One Season
Showtime's Happyish will not be coming back.
The premium cable network has canceled the freshman comedy after one season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Happyish, created, written and executive produced by This American Life's contributor and first-time showrunner Shalom Auslander, had a particularly long and challenged road to screen, with star Philip Seymour Hoffman passing away just weeks after wrapping the series' pilot. After an extensive casting search during the latter part of 2014, veteran actor Steve Coogan stepped in to replace the late star in the dark satirical dramedy.
Showtime CEO David Nevins, for whom Happyish was a passion project, initially wowed critics with a clip of the Seymour pilot at TCA, with many declaring the series and the late actor an Emmy shoo-in. Following the actor's death, the comedy was re-piloted, with only a few of the show's original stars, led by Kathryn Hahn, returning. The new cast was filled out by Bradley Whitford and Ellen Barkin.
"If it had just been a pilot, I probably would have thrown in the towel," Nevins told THR in April. The executive was sitting on five additional episodes (of 10) that Auslander already had written, and he found himself hooked. "I loved the idea of a show about that moment in midlife, midcareer when you say, 'Is it all worth it?' These kind of comedies don't grow on trees."
The series, which first sold to Showtime in the fall of 2011 as Pigs in Shit, launched this spring to just 430,000 total viewers and mixed reviews in. More recently, it failed to break into the Emmy race, where other Showtime series including Episodes, Homeland and outgoing vet Nurse Jackie were rewarded. Nevins has long been patient with soft ratings, provided the cabler's original scripted fare cuts through with critics or awards voters.
Happyish marks a rare miss for Nevins, under whom all of the network's originals have been granted sophomore seasons. The network will launch comedy Dice next year. Additionally, Showtime is reworking its Cameron Crowe comedy pilot Roadies to potentially join a half-hour lineup that already houses Episodes and House of Lies.

Do you know why all fast food items such as pizzas, burgers, french fries, rolls and hot dogs are called 'junk food?' Well, the official meaning of the word 'junk' is of no use, surplus or something that is unnecessary. And all these fast food products that have intruded every nook and corner of the world are called junk as they completely fulfil this meaning.
Today, junk food companies are dominating the food world to a huge extent, with each large food chain generating enormous dollar revenues, creating thousands of job opportunities and influencing diet across the world. But all this comes at the price of health and well-being of many consumers. The results that these junk food can have on your wellbeing are terrible, whether you enjoy them once in a while, twice in a week or every day.
It can cause type 2 diabetes: One of biggest contributing factors for the growing diabetes epidemic is unhealthy diet packed with junk and fast food. When you have a healthy diet, your body gets a gradual supply of glucose, which helps sustain insulin sensitivity. On the other hand, when you eat solely junk food, the excessive stress put on your metabolism affects the potential of your body to use insulin correctly. Since junk food does not have much fibre content, its consumption results in a sharp rise in sugar levels. Moreover, junk food consumption can result in obesity, one of the biggest reasons for insulin resistance and formation of diabetes.
Want a sensible healthy eating plan as opposed to the latest food fad? Unsure of what's worth trying and what's best to steer clear of. Step forward, Diet Debate UK - the diet website with a difference. Unlike other diet websites which only provide run-of-the-mill information, Diet Debate UK provides a free and impartial review of available UK diets. Diet Debate UK also includes a vote poll on each diet review page, to allow every visitor the chance to rate the effectiveness of each diet, giving a useful indication of the best - and worst - weight loss diets. Realistic reviews from real people who've tried it for themselves. © Wimpy Fast food 2017 | www.full-circle-arts.co.uk | Contact: email@example.com.

Lionel Messi capturing the Golden Ball as the best player at the 2014 FIFA World Cup is a dubious distinction for some. Many believe Messi's tournament was merely average, culminating in a largely indifferent performance during the 1-0 defeat to Germany in the final.
Among the detractors is Argentina legend Diego Maradona. The man with whom Messi is most often compared has blasted FIFA for the award, per a report in The Guardian. Speaking on Latin American television station Telesur, Maradona dismissed Messi winning the award as a business move from FIFA.Those are fairly scathing words from the man who inspired Argentina to World Cup glory in 1986. They are particularly noteworthy because of the intense pressure on Messi to emulate Maradona every time he plays for his country.
"Messi? I would give him heaven if possible," Maradona said. "But it's not right when someone wins something that he shouldn't have won just because of some marketing plan."
The two players have often merited direct comparison for more than just their nationality. They both play a similar style, using control so close it defies all logic to consistently baffle defenders.
Like Maradona, Messi generates excitement and expectation every time he receives the ball. No other player in today's game boasts his knack for tricking past the opposition at speed and finding the net.
However, there's no escaping that. As good as Messi has been for club side FC Barcelona, he's never produced what Maradona did internationally.
Messi was exceptional at times during this World Cup. He particularly thrived during the competition's early stages.
He bagged four goals in group matches and was too much for Belgium in the quarter-final. The latter performance made many believe Messi was finally ready to merit his comparisons with Maradona, per BBC Sport writer Ben Smith:
However, Messi meriting consideration as one of football's all-time greats still hinged on a winning performance in the final. Writing for The Telegraph, Alan Hansen dubbed the final perhaps Messi's "last, and best, chance" to prove he belongs alongside Maradona and the greatest ever.
This performance was not on the same level as his predecessor's the last time these two nations met - in the semi-final in Mexico City in 1986 - but it was more than good enough to draw parallels from all corners.
The image of Messi wriggling away from five Belgians to win a first-half free-kick on the edge of the penalty area brought echoes of that iconic image of Maradona on the ball in 1982, with six Belgians wondering what to do.
However, Messi meriting consideration as one of football's all-time greats still hinged on a winning performance in the final. Writing for The Telegraph, Alan Hansen dubbed the final perhaps Messi's "last, and best, chance" to prove he belongs alongside Maradona and the greatest ever.
Lionel Messi managed just 3 shots on target during Argentina's 4 games in the World Cup knockout stages. #ARG pic.twitter.com/JwvnNPPEvg— Squawka Football (@Squawka) July 14, 2014
Of course, Mario Gotze's winner in extra time for the Germans means that chance has now passed. But it would be churlish to claim Messi didn't have his moments at Brazi's famous Maracana Stadium.
He was certainly his country's most dangerous player during an eventful first half. However, his fortunes altered after the break.
Messi missed two excellent chances, opportunities he would usually take. Maybe that is the ultimate difference. An all-time great seizes those chances, slots them away and takes a place in history.
Although Messi continued to try and escape close German attention, he could never quite get free. The sight of him receiving the Golden Ball was a strange one after such a subdued performance late on.
But Messi wasn't the only Argentine figure to receive scolding words from Maradona. The country's football icon was less than impressed with Sergio Aguero's efforts, per the same report in The Guardian.
"I don't understand the substitution of Lavezzi. He was phenomenal down the wing," Maradona said. "Kun Aguero didn't have the same impact. It was not his tournament."
In this instance, Maradona's words are entirely justified. Aguero was indeed dire. Yes, the Manchester City striker was not long back from injury, but it's difficult to remember him performing as abjectly as he did during the final.
Meanwhile, Lavezzi had been a consistent menace in the early stages. However, coach Alejandro Sabella shouldn't be blamed for trying to freshen up his attack as the game wore on.
Ultimately, it's Maradona's words about Messi and the Golden Ball award that will have the most impact. They will serve as the most obvious indictment of a magnificent player who is still leaving fans wanting at the international level.
And unless Messi is able lead Argentina to a World Cup title during his remaining days with the national team, Maradona's remarks will continue to carry significant weight.
Who should have won the Golden Ball for you, ONTD?
Matts Hummels
Thomas Müller
Toni Kroos
James Rodríguez
Philipp Lahm
Lionel Messi
Javier Mascherano
Angel Di María
Arjen Robben

Witchwood tree
Witchwood Trees are an extinct species of tree that once grew in Gielinor.
History[edit | edit source]
Next to nothing is known of the Witchwood Tree, whether historically or biologically. For unknown reasons, the tree is now extinct.
The tree is known to have possessed strong magical properties. Its wood, if broken, would magically regrow at a very fast rate.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Witchwood can be used to replace lost body parts, as it fuses to the body upon addition. The host can then control the wood as though it were an actual part of the body. A rare modern example of this can be seen in the pirate 50% Luke, who lost half of his body in an incident at sea.
Witchwood has also been used by the Slayer Masters, who have used it to construct Witchwood icons. This suggests Witchwood is capable of absorbing certain magical forces. These pendants are needed when killing Cave horrors in the Mos Le'Harmless Caves.

All of us many times dreamed to start new life from Monday, from the next week or from the first day of the next month… You make your diet, plans for sports activity and so on… But even you if you start your "new life" it is often ends within next two, five, maximum 10 days.
My own experience has shown that actually there is no need to change life drastically and to force yourself to do things that you have never done before. It is enough to exclude fast food and sweet soft drink, high-carbohydrate food substitute with fresh salads, fruits, stop eating after 7 p.m. And what is very important – to find time for walking. Even doctors say that walking produces very positive results, even better then jogging.
I started my "new life" two years ago and I did not set high goals. It was not so difficult to exclude fast-food and sweet soft drink. Also I managed to find time for walking every evening. Of course, I did not walk when it was rainy.
So, finally I reduced my weight by 22 pounds within 2 years.
Follow my blog and I will share what else I learnt during this period.

William Barr, President Donald Trump's pick to be the next attorney general, met Thursday with Senate Democrats who have questioned his nomination over his criticisms of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Barr made private assurances to her that he wouldn't interfere with the Mueller probe.

Now she needs to hear them in public.
"Well, my intention will be to get that on the record before I'm satisfied," Feinstein told reporters after her meeting with Barr. "It's very important that Mueller be able to have no interference whatsoever. And that's what I would want to hear (in) public."
Feinstein said the meeting went "well" but she didn't tip her hand on whether she would consider supporting Barr, who previously served as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush. "To some extent he's a known factor, he's been there before," Feinstein said. "So, the key is that times change and views change and laws change. So, the question is, is he right for this time? And can he really be independent of the White House?"
Democrats plan to make Barr's views on the Mueller investigation a key part of next week's confirmation hearings to replace acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker atop the Justice Department. They've ramped up concerns about Barr's nomination after learning of a memo he wrote last year arguing Mueller's investigation into obstruction of justice was "fatally misconceived."
Democrats also plan to press Barr on numerous issues beyond the special counsel, including his views on presidential pardons and the independence of the Justice Department, as well as his positions on surveillance issues, immigration and abortion law.
Last month, Feinstein sent a letter to Barr with a list of questions about the origins of the memo. She said she "didn't ask him about that" at Thursday's meeting, "but I will in public."
Barr's place atop the Justice Department would put him in charge of Mueller's investigation, giving him the ability to approve or veto decisions like issuing subpoenas and what to do with Mueller's final report. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is planning to leave the Justice Department after Barr is confirmed, has been in charge of supervising Mueller until then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions was fired last year. Whitaker is now in charge of the probe, though the day-to-day management remains in Rosenstein's portfolio.
In addition to Feinstein, Barr was meeting Thursday with several Judiciary Committee Democrats, including Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.
Barr's meetings with lawmakers began Wednesday with former Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa and the panel's new chairman Lindsey Graham. After Graham's meeting, the South Carolina Republican said Barr made clear he was committed to allowing Mueller to finish his investigation unimpeded, and he said that Barr's memo was a result of his concerns about the precedent of obstruction of justice and the firing of political appointees.
But those explanations haven't satisfied Democrats on the committee.
"I think those assurances were self-serving, and even somewhat evasive," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, who added he has yet to get a private meeting on the books with Barr. "One of the reasons I want a meeting is to hear for myself what he has to say."
Barr's private meetings with Democrats have been a point of contention, as several senators say they have requested meetings but were rebuffed, which goes against practice for committee members ahead of a confirmation hearing. Klobuchar took to Twitter Wednesday night to complain that she hadn't been given a chance to sit down with Barr.
By Thursday morning, she had a meeting on the books.
Klobuchar told reporters Thursday that although she was pleased she now had a meeting with the attorney general nominee, she questioned whether the whole episode was a sign the process was moving too quickly to get Barr's confirmation through.
"To me, it feels like they rushed this hearing," she said. "And we want to get a permanent AG in place, but I don't know why they wouldn't have given time to get ... these meetings set up."
Sen. Chris Coons, Democrat of Delaware, met with Barr on Thursday evening. Coons said he was also assured that Barr would not interfere in the Mueller probe after asking him a series of questions.
"I asked him, will you allow the Mueller investigation to continue unimpeded, will you allow prosecutorial decisions by Mueller to advance without interference, will you allow its budget to continue without interference and, in particular, if the President ordered you to fire Robert Mueller, would you do so or would you resign," Coons said.
Coons said that Barr told him, "I think it is very important to the rule of law, to public confidence in the Department of Justice, that the Mueller investigation be allowed to conclude unimpeded."
This story has been updated with additional developments Thursday.

Edmonton - According to his itinerary, the prime minister will arrive at the Sikh place of prayer at 6:30 p.m.
Trudeau will visit the Gurdwara ahead of Edmonton's Nagar Kirtan Sikh parade celebrating Vaisakhi this coming Sunday, his spokesperson Eleanore Catenaro said Monday morning. Vaisakhi is a historical and religious festival in Sikhism and Hinduism that marks the new year.
During his visit, Trudeau will make a donation to the food bank at the Gurdwara, help prepare food boxes and bring a food donation.
Catenaro said Trudeau is always looking for an opportunity to be with the community in Edmonton, and because he couldn't attend the parade he decided to make an early appearance.
"And Edmonton is a great place," she said.

Butterfly weed, or milkweed, is a native American wildflower that is at home in both the wild garden and the perennial border, as a flower that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Blooming from late spring into summer, these perennials with sprays of small yellow, orange, or red-orange flowers are striking in their beauty. The plants bear thin leaves and are most attractive when in flower.
How to grow: Butterfly weed grows easily in full sun and tolerates a wide variety of soil types but performs best in average garden soil with good drainage. Once a butterfly weed develops a good root system, it becomes a long-lived, drought-resistant plant.
Propagation: By division in early spring or by seed.
Uses: Butterfly weed does well in meadows and in wild gardens. The flowers can be cut for fresh bouquets.
Related species: The swamp milkweed, Asclepias incarnata, has pinkish flowers on two- to four-foot stems and will do well in wet environments.
Scientific name: Asclepias tuberosa

Some answers to your questions. Click the question below to view the answer.
For over 85 years Fleur de Lis has been providing a wholesome summer experience that develops new skills, encourages independence, and creates lifelong friendships within a safe and nurturing community. Within our community we help each girl grow and stretch while providing her just the right amount of support to be successful and confident while delivering a program that embodies our core values of integrity, loyalty, and service.
8-10 year olds are part of the Junior Unit and live in a cabin with limited electricity and a bathroom. They share their cabin with four to five other girls and at least one staff member and a counselor-in-training. 11-13 year olds are part of the Mid unit and live with 3-4 other girls their age with one counselor and a counselor-in-training. Younger Mids live in cabins with electricity and older Mids live in platform tents. Nearby is a bathhouse (known as a WOG at Fleur de Lis) with electricity, hot showers, and flushing toilets. Quickly these tents and cabins become a cozy home to campers. All Senior campers live in platform tents.
Along with your daughter we hope you learn to enjoy the lost art of letter writing. Six days a week after lunch, girls gather at the Barn to devour news from home. Each girl is required to write home at least once a week to share camp news. We are proud of our commitment to take a break and be unplugged from email, texting, and cell phones. The camp office is always available for phone calls if you feel the need to check in and speak to your daughter's counselor or a member of the administrative team.
Each week campers are assigned to a table where they sit with a counselor in a multiage setting. Good manners, shared conversation, nutritional meals, and traditional camp songs make the FdL dining experience something that is important to our camp community and culture. Campers and staff will tell you it is an opportunity to get to know the many members of our camp in a true family setting. Campers will also tell you that the food is great! Our chef, Heidi, has fine-tuned the menu according to campers' tastes throughout the years. In addition to the main entree and side dishes, the Dining Hall offers a salad bar for lunch and dinner, a yogurt/oatmeal bar for breakfast, a pasta bar for lunch, as well as dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
Upon arrival campers choose five activities in which to participate. A schedule is developed based on a 1-5 choice with their top pick being the activity they have most often. First time campers "try" each activity before signing up. Campers staying four weeks or longer may adjust their activities and sign up for new activities at the midpoint of their stay.
Fleur de Lis strives to have campers take a break from electronics. However, music is a big part of camp life and campers are allowed to bring MP3 players with all video removed. Older campers may listen to their MP3 players during quiet times and all campers may use them for music, talent, and skit events. Hand held games and cell phones are prohibited. Campers may, however, bring cameras to camp. All families are reminded that campers spend most of time outdoors and need to decide if such valuable devices should be brought to camp.
For more than five decades Fleur de Lis Camp has been continuously accredited by the American Camp Association, complying with over 300 safety standards from staff qualifications to emergency management.
Yes! We have two brother camps in the New England area.
Fleur de Lis has a rich history with Camp O-AT-KA, a boys camp in Sebago, Maine founded in 1906. The property is gorgeous and their program runs similarly to Fleur de Lis Camp, starting their days with a Password and offering many activity options for their campers.
Learn more about Camp O-AT-KA!
Fleur de Lis also has a brother camp on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire called William Lawrence.
A $350 non-refundable deposit is required at time of registration for all Standard and Starter resident camp sessions, to be credited to tuition. Space in the program is not fully reserved until the deposit is received.
Tuition balances to be paid in three equal installments by February 15th, April 15th, and May 15th with the entire remainder plus any additional fees, including store credit (incidental account) due on May 15th.
The rates DO NOT INCLUDE cost of Senior trip, special activities, or store credit (incidental costs) for Standard and Starter camp sessions.
No refunds for camp tuition after May 1st. In addition, there are no tuition adjustments or refunds shall be made should your camper be required to leave camp before her sessions expires, except in the case of injury or illness incurred at camp.
For returning campers: Sure! This request needs to be mutual, so a parent/guardian of each camper in the request needs to reach out to communicate the request.
For new campers: We can accommodate bunk requests, but we strongly encourage new campers to trust the science behind our bunk dynamics! We try to put new campers with one more new camper (so they can bond over being new) and with at least 1-2 returning campers (so they can show your camper the ropes). This balance has worked out really well for us, and we are incredibly deliberate in choosing the girls in each tent/cabin, and pairing bunks with staff who best fit the personalities in each cabin.
We love new campers! Give us a call, fill out an inquiry form, or send us an email to set up a private tour of camp.

Procurement managers, technicians and other expert colleagues are jointly looking for the best solutions and partners. Innovation, standardisation, service and delivery times are of vital importance for us.
The complete procurement volume of the Reifenhäuser Group has been structured by material groups. We are looking for products and services for the following main material groups:
You will find a complete specification of required goods in our material group catalogue. We assign the material groups mentioned therein to you, in accordance with a material group code that corresponds to your offered products and services.

|Review: Ensepulchred - Suicide in Winter's Moonlight
|Suicide in Winter's Moonlight
Label: Autopsy Kitchen Records
Year released: 2007
Originally released in: 2006
Duration: 54:51
Tracks: 16
Genre: Black Metal
Rating: 4/5
Review online: March 21, 2008
Reviewed by: Pagan Shadow
for:Suicide in Winter's Moonlight
Rated 4/5 (80%) (1 Vote)
Issued in 2006 as a very limited edition, Autopsy Kitchen Records decided to bring it back to life, on CD this time, with a new design and additional tracks. This new version of Ensepulchred's Suicide in Winter's Moonlight is nearly an hour of darkness spread across 16 tracks.
This is perhaps ambient in nature but there's nothing dreamy about this music. This is haunted Black Metal with wicked raspy vocals. No drummer in the line-up, but instead bass player Owen Barker used drum machines. He also split the keyboard duties with Justin Redington (guitars and noises). The vocals of Johnathan Shipley are one of the most predominant aspects for this band, beside its chilling/spooky characters. The keyboards definitely play a major role in this music, bringing a lot of the darkness into the ghostly environment. They can also take a more symphonic or spacey approach at times. The distorted guitars here are more discrete but its distortion is very present in the soundscape. Even if the elements and formula don't change much from songs to songs, the short (2-3 minutes) compositions are not boring or redundant as such since they all have a little something making them different.
Amongst the extensive track listing, my favorite are: "Asylum", "Silent Gates", "Blood From the North", "The Cruel Silence of the Sky" and the noisy/experimental "Flesh". Suicide in Winter's Moonlight should please fans of Burzum and the likes.

INI Seminar Room 1
This talk presents some new developments in theory, methods, and algorithms for performing Bayesian inference in high-dimensional inverse problems that are convex, with application to mathematical and computational imaging. These include new efficient stochastic simulation and optimisation Bayesian computation methods that tightly combine proximal optimisation with Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques; strategies for estimating unknown model parameters and performing model selection, methods for calculating Bayesian confidence intervals for images and performing uncertainty quantification analyses; and new theory regarding the role of convexity in maximum-a-posteriori and minimum-mean-square-error estimation. The new theory, methods, and algorithms are illustrated with a range of mathematical imaging experiments.

A new rumor posits that Warner Bros. is searching for scriptwriters to take a shot at adapting the 31st century teens of the Legion of Super-Heroes for a movie. Seeing as even DC can't get a Legion of Super-Heroes comic to stick around more than a year or two, I wouldn't get too excited.
I mean, I'm sure the success of Marvel's equally esoteric team Guardians of the Galaxy makes Warner Bros. execs hopeful they can replicate its success, but there's a major difference between being "hopeful" and "confident." Seeing as WB still hasn't even officially announced a Wonder Woman movie, I have a hard time imagining these them ever receiving a LoSH treatment they have the balls to actually film.

Recovery Task Force
The purpose of the RTF is to identify immediate and long-term needs, assess various initiatives, and craft a response to the economic and social disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
that best serve the needs of the local community.
Aug 24, 2020 - The REVY. Masks have arrived!

Please reference the tabs below for information and latest updates on the RTF initiative.
On May 12, 2020, Council supported establishment of a
Recovery Task Force (RTF) in collaboration with the CSRD.
The City of Revelstoke and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District recognizes the need to identify immediate
and long-term needs, assess various initiatives, and craft a response to the economic disruptions caused by
the COVID-19 pandemic that will best serve the needs of the local community, comprised of the City of Revelstoke
and CSRD Area B.
The purpose of the Recovery Task Force is to help formalize efforts to create a resiliency and recovery plan and identify key actions needed to ensure Revelstoke is in a strong position for a safe recovery coming out of the pandemic. It will be a collaborative initiative representing the Revelstoke area consisting of local and regional government, business leaders, and stakeholders.
The role of the task force is to be a non-partisan, cross-sectoral 'think tank' that will receive input from a variety of sectors and will collate that input to suggest strategies and opportunities that we can focus on to mitigate the potential economic impact to businesses from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The key objectives of the Recovery Task Force are:
- Conduct needs assessment, economic impact analysis, and research into best practices for economic recovery.
- Identify and leverage internal and external resources to fund and support delivery of effective programming and assistance measures to businesses.
- Support the on-going work of local agencies and stakeholders to assist businesses, tourism operators, cultural workers, food producers, and all sectors of industry experiencing significant disruption and negative impacts from the pandemic.
- Support consistent, proactive communications, and consensus-building among stakeholders.
- Develop a 'made-in-Revelstoke' economic recovery and resiliency plan for the community and surrounding region.
- Develop business transition and restart resources, tools, and supports to enable businesses as well as workforce retention and expansion.
As the Recovery Task Force moves forward, we will update on the progress of these initiatives.

Current Initiatives and Accomplishments include:
City Council has made recent approvals to waive fees for businesses to expand into their frontage onto City sidewalks and parking stalls to help with physical distancing guidelines.
These options include:
Retailers & Shops: display table/rack OR table & chairs on sidewalks, and 'parklet' seating areas in parking stalls
Restaurants & Bars: patios on sidewalks or extending into parking stalls
Fees for these permits have been waived until October 15, 2020.
To inquire about permit requirements and to apply, contact Development Services: 250-837-3637 email@example.com
Through extensive consultation with the local business community, the RTF has recommended to Council a phased approach to support Revelstoke's vibrant downtown economy including:
Phase 1 - Communicating options for local business to increase capacity while maintaining physical distancing guidelines.
Phase 2 - The 'Parklet' Pilot Project Extended waiting areas for retailers! Fees for these permits have been waived until October 15, 2020. To inquire about permit requirements and to apply, contact Development Services:
250-837-3637 firstname.lastname@example.com.
Phase 3 - Assessment of Phase 1 and 2 and a further look at creation of expanded space for additional capacity including potential street closures during peak pedestrian traffic hours.
Sponsored by the Revelstoke Credit Union and working with local artists and Signs Ink, physical distancing Art Decals will be placed on sidewalks around the Credit Union. There will be an opportunity to expand this project to other businesses. The decals will feature notable revelstoke scenes and landscapes by local artists. The Art Decals enhance the experience for locals and tourists while observing physical distancing guidelines.
We've ordered 10,000 masks, funded by the Resort Municipality Initiative, to promote safety for visitors and locals. In partnership with the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce, these masks will be distributed through the Revelstoke Visitor Centre while quantities last. We'll announce when our REVY. masks have arrived!
REVY. Rules Posters
REVY. Rules posters are available at the Revelstoke Visitor Centre for businesses to encourage both visitors and locals to follow the simple guidelines set out by the Province of BC to keep everyone safe and healthy. Tourism Revelstoke has also created additional digital components that outline the REVY. Rules and how to explore both responsibly and safely to keep our community and visitors safe.
UPDATED: June 10, 2020
The following initiatives were presented to Council on June 9, 2020.
Council approved that all fees as prescribed in Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 2256 associated with vending or busking use of sidewalks; use of City sidewalks for retail purposes; use of City sidewalks for dining purposes; use of City sidewalks for coffee shops; and for outdoor patios be waived for the year 2020.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY and RESILIENCY
The one common denominator of the COVID-19 pandemic is the unknown.
Economic recovery, even by optimistic assessments, will take time.
Even with great uncertainty we can work together to plan our path forward and resolve impacts
in an adaptive, effective, and efficient manner.
The Recovery Task Force Timeline
(Our current position is indicated by the RTF Bear)
Recovery actions respond to the immediate needs of individuals and the community. Actions include safeguarding health and safety of community members, enabling essential services, communicating pertinent information, sharing resources, and performing outreach efforts to understand and respond to needs of the community.
Recovery refers to the need to re-establish a healthy, functioning community that will sustain itself over time. The steps in long-term recovery begin with determining "community need" - those elements that will allow a community to fully recover and become resilient should any future disasters occur.
Input from Revelstoke businesses and the community is critical for shaping initiatives that deliver results.
Share your thoughts with the Recovery Task Force as they work to help guide responsive actions and recommendations.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Revelstoke businesses are the heart of our community. We want to understand what assistance may be needed to ensure your business has a successful re-opening as the province moves into different phases of restarting the economy. We may conduct various surveys as we progress through our current situation.
The RTF plans on delivering an Individual Survey for the community this Fall. Stay tuned for more information!
The following are resources relative to the Recovery Task Force for background information,
tools for businesses, and helpful material as the community transitions through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Balancing the independence and accountability of judges is a tricky job. Lord Carlile has recently suggested a judge led inspectorate to tackle poor practice short of misconduct. Joshua Rozenberg suggests it is unnecessary, taking a line which I suspect would be taken by many judges. My initial response to the Carlile story was not a million miles away: Lord C does not appear to have a strong evidence base to suggest the need for a judicial inspectorate.
One might point to recent reports on litigants in person suggesting a need for collective change to cope but Lord Carlile's case (at least as reported) is based more on poor performance and incivility from the bench not the more positive case of collective self-improvement. For my own part, when researching courts I was struck by the fact that they did admirable, sometimes difficult, sometimes tedious, jobs. I was also often told of judges who routinely flouted the law on McKenzie friends because 'this is my court room'. The sort of behaviour which I would imagine would be difficult for any Judicial Complaints body to adjudicate on (it will usually be the word of the litigant against the word of a judge when it gets down to it) and the Court of Appeal takes a varied approach policing such matters on appeal which gives judges much benefit of the doubt (usually but not always). Rozenberg's piece, if I read it correctly, appears to concede there is a gap between misconduct that can be seized by a judicial complaint, what can be appealed and conduct that might need addressing (though he also suggests that sometimes this conduct is picked up anyway). I vividly recall, but not vividly enough to find a link (sorry), a judge briefly jailing (or perhaps just threatening) a barrister for refusing to amend his client's defence statement. It was reasonably clear (after the fact, but I suspect also there and then) that the judge was in the wrong. It was not I think appealed and I doubt a complaint was made. It would be interesting to know if any action at all was taken as regards the judge. I know where my money is.
Joshua Rozenberg also makes a good point about the impact of inspectors appearing in courts. Researchers sometimes call this the Hawthorne effect. We know full well that judges will modify their behaviour as soon as an inspector is in the court (just as they may do for researchers). That said, most court proceedings are recorded and inspectors could use those as a basis for sampling judicial approaches to hearings in a way which is not invasive and which is much less likely to impact on judicial behaviour negatively. Indeed, for me the language of an "Inspectorate" is a little unfortunate. Lord Carlile is right of course to point out that all other public services are subject to scrutiny; but will need to answer the question as to how successful those modes of scrutiny have been. Research on what judges do in the courtroom and what 'works' is being, and has been, attempted – not always with the full throated support of the judiciary. Those researchers typically seek to work with the judges constructively to encourage critical reflection by the judiciary. There is a case for stronger challenge – and I suspect Judges will only take that from their own (and not often then) which is why Lord Carlile has suggested the staffing that he has – but whether an Inspectorate making unannounced visits is the best approach, I have doubts.

Amid Manufacturing Shifts, Should Working-Class Men Consider Non-Traditional Roles?09:43Play
Sledgehammers, axes and dirty coveralls come to mind when you think of so-called "manly work." But are those jobs going away?
Here & Now's Robin Young talks with Lance Compa, professor at Cornell University's Industrial and Labor Relations School, about President Trump's campaign promises and manufacturing jobs in the U.S.
Interview Highlights
On the state of manufacturing jobs in the U.S.
"The death of manufacturing is greatly exaggerated. It's true that it's declined as a share, as a percentage, of the overall economy, and as a percentage of the labor force. But there are still 12 million manufacturing jobs in the United States — you drive along the interstate highways, and you'll see big manufacturing facilities all over the country. The other thing is that, at any given moment in time — including right now, I just looked it up — there are 300,000 openings in manufacturing, job openings, for applicants, and the manufacturing sector is actually doing quite well, and could do even better if the plans for infrastructure improvements come into place."
On disconnect over the number of manufacturing jobs available
"I don't wanna exaggerate it in the other direction either. The thing is there's a skills match that needs to be achieved. My own background, as an example, when I was growing up in Rochester, New York, 50,000 people worked for Eastman Kodak. Now it's about 1,000. Does that mean that 49,000 people went out on the street, with nothing? No, in fact, the engineers and other people that had worked for Kodak started up dozens and dozens of smaller, specialized companies, and they hire a lot of people. Those jobs in manufacturing can be there, but you can't just walk out of high school with a high school degree and nothing else, and get a good manufacturing job. There is a skills need, and it doesn't mean they have to be licensed electricians or plumbers or something. There are a lot of men, working-class men... they don't have the knack for school, the patience to sit down, and they don't do standardized tests well. But they're smart, and they're resourceful, and they can find careers in these niche manufacturing markets, I think."
"It would be a terrible thing, I think, if there were millions of opportunities for men to swing sledgehammers."Lance Compa
On "new working class" issues
"Pick the minimum wage for example, I think it's vitally important to increase the minimum wage across the country — and we see it being done all over the country, at the state and local levels. We still need a substantial increase in the federal minimum wage. But for a lot of working class men, working at a minimum-wage job is insulting, and family leave is important, but there are still a lot of people in traditional family settings — and it might be great if the woman in the relationship, or one woman in the relationship, can get time off and so on — but the men are interested in going out to work and support their family. I think that has to be recognized, and again, it comes down to making the jobs that working class men can now get into, and it's a good thing that it's not all heavy labor — in fact, working-class men call it 'bull work' — there's not so much 'bull work' anymore. And that's a good thing. And I think working-class men need to get over some of the hangups and the traditionalist notions, and be ready to go into caring professions. There are a lot of jobs in nursing homes and care facilities and hospitals that actually do require a lot of physical strength."
On romanticizing physical labor
"I don't accept that there are all these guys out there that wanna swing a sledgehammer. There might be some, but if the only... it would be a terrible thing, I think, if there were millions of opportunities for men to swing sledgehammers. It's just not gonna happen, this vision that Donald Trump has of bringing back the steel mill that employs 30,000 people is completely ridiculous.
"...The thing is, I mean I'm happy that the sledgehammer jobs aren't there anymore, because for one thing, bodies would break down — the working-class men who were strong in their 20s and 30s, their bodies would break down by the time they're in their 40s, and then you're talking about disability, and social security..."

We take a look at those players whose World Cup participation is currently in the balance so will be desperate to impress over the next few weeks…
15.Israel Dagg
The All Blacks full back has looked some way off his best of late and will face stiff competition from Nehe Milner-Skudder and Colin Slade as the back ups to Ben Smith.
14.Chris Ashton
Ashton's recall to the England squad will have been a huge boost for the winger, however he still has some serious work to do if he's to play his way back into World Cup contention.
13.Kurtley Beale
The versatility of Beale could be a major strength in his case for inclusion, however he's going to have to show some great form if he's to break into the Wallabies starting XV.
12.Jean de Villiers
A year ago de Villiers was an automatic selection for the Springboks, but after missing the whole season he faces a race against time to prove his fitness.
11.Alex Cuthbert
The Welsh winger has come in for some serious criticism over the past 12 months and will have to work hard to prove he can still be a key contributor ahead of the World Cup.
10.Danny Cipriani
Having battled his was back into the England squad, Cipriani now faces a major battle to try and prove that he adds enough value to the squad to justify World Cup inclusion.
9.Mike Phillips
With Rhys Webb taking over the starting role and a number of others snapping at his heels, Phillips will have to work hard to keep his place on the bench.
8.Louis Picamoles
Despite being one of France's best loose forwards, Picamoles will have a fight on his hand to prove his value to the French coaching staff.
7.David Pocock
It's looking increasingly likely that Pocock could feature on the other side of the scrum to Michael Hooper, however he still has a fight on his hands to break into the starting XV despite his form.
6.Tom Croft
After yet more injury setbacks, Croft looks a serious doubt for making England's World Cup squad unless he can prove his value in the coming months.
5.James Horwill
The Wallabies lock has been another to come in for some major criticism, especially after a dire season with the Reds, so now has a real point to prove.
4.Geoff Parling
Having only had limited international exposure of late, the England lock may have to show more than line out nous in order to justify his selection.
3.Jannie du Plessis
With the Stormers front row dominating in Super Rugby this season, du Plessis will find it increasingly difficult to hold on to his starting shirt.
2.Richard Hibbard
Welsh hooked Hibbard has been in and out of favour of late with Warren Gatland so will need to demonstrate some consistency to start.
1.Alex Corbisiero
After another rough year with injuries, Corbisiero faces a real fight to justify his selection ahead of the likes of Joe Marler and Mako Vunipola.
Which player do you think has the most to prove ahead of the World Cup?
