Joe Truelove, Director of Carey Group, and Kerrie Le Tissier, Senior Associate at Bedell Cristin Guernsey Partnership, play out a conversation between a fictional client and his lawyer as the client seeks to understand the various options typically available to ultra-high net-worth individuals for managing their wealth.
The scenario
It is the day of his daughter's wedding and Joe has arranged a quick meeting with his lawyer Kerrie to discuss his family's affairs – the wedding has brought to Joe's mind a number of issues which he wants resolved.
Joe: Kerrie, I need some advice. I've worked hard all my life, I've created a world-leading business, I'm getting old, my third wife is very young, I have many children in a variety of jurisdictions living aroundthe world, I may even be a grandfather soon. I'mworried about the future – how can I provide foreveryone? What will happen to it all when I die?It's all getting too much, I can't sleep at night!What do I do?
Kerrie: You really need to think about preserving yourwealth and succession planning. It sounds asthough what you may need is a trust.You hand over your money to a trustee and theylook after it for you, both during your lifetime andafter your death. In fact, you could put any of yourassets into trust – shares in your companies, yourreal estate, artwork, wine collection...
Joe: What? Are you crazy? I want to keep my assets, notgive them to someone else. Who can I trust?
Kerrie: Find yourself a reputable and experienced trustcompany, in a stable and well-regulated jurisdiction.Trustees in Guernsey are regulated and they'vebeen doing this for more than 50 years.
Joe: But what if I don't like what they do with my money?
Kerrie: They usually have at least some discretion but theycan't just do what they like with the trust assets.They are fiduciaries, which means that they don'tact in their own interests but instead they must actin the interests of the beneficiaries, who would beyour family. There are serious consequences if theyfail to do this – they could face claims for breachof trust and there could be regulatory implications, which they would obviously want to avoid. That said, there are some things, such as providing letters of guidance, appointing a protector and reserving powers, you could do to get even more comfort.
Joe: Okay, a trust could work, I'm still concerned abouthanding over control but I'll think about it. Are thereany alternatives?
Kerrie: To retain even more control, you could form aprivate trust company. This is where you form acompany solely to act as trustee of your trust. Youcould be on the board of the trustee, or own thetrust company and influence its direction.
Joe: But I don't know much about trust law so why would I set one up?
Kerrie: You would appoint people with experience oftrust management as co-directors. It's a popularand tried and tested structure for people in yourposition.However, as another alternative, we havefoundations in Guernsey which tend to appealto people from civil jurisdictions who are notcomfortable with handing over control.
Joe: So I control the foundation?
Kerrie: To an extent. Think of a foundation as a bit like across between a trust and a company: like a trustit is usually used for holding assets for someone'sbenefit (here, your family) and like a company it'sa separate legal entity. There is a council whichmanages the foundation, which is like the board ofdirectors of a company or the Trustee of the trust.You could be a member of the foundation's councilif you wanted to retain some influence over it.
Joe: Okay, so there's a bit less trust involved – I havetrust issues.
Kerrie: I understand that but with either a trust or afoundation, properly set up with your needs andrequirements taken into account, you would havea structure which would assist you with protectingyour assets and planning the succession in thebusiness. Neither would attract additional tax andboth could give you some level of control, whilealso involving experienced professionals in themanagement and administration of your wealth.
Joe: Okay that sounds good, but am I missingsomething? I've been hearing a lot about PCCs –what are they? Why can't I have one of them?
Kerrie: PCC is an abbreviation for a Protected CellCompany. It is a concept which was first createdin Guernsey but has now been adopted by manyjurisdictions where it is sometimes referred to as asegregated portfolio company. Basically a PCC isa single legal entity which incorporates multiplecells each of which is a separate pool of assetsand liabilities.
Joe: So I could put my different businesses in differentcells, give one cell to each of my family membersand limit the liabilities of each cell so that if one ofthem loses money it is ring-fenced from the rest ofthe family wealth?
Kerrie: Yes that's right. You could also put different assetsor asset classes into different cells and/or usedifferent cells to hold assets for different branchesof your family, in each case segregated
Joe: Where can I access all of these different options?What happens if I need a combination of differentstructures?
Kerrie: All of these structures are available in Guernsey.Guernsey's trust, foundation and corporate lawsare robust yet flexible, so I am sure we can find asolution to all your concerns about preserving yourwealth and providing for your family. We have aninfrastructure which is second to none with respectto the provision of trustee, fiduciary, corporateand fund administration services in addition to ourbanking, legal, taxation and accounting expertisewithin the island. You would just need to run anyproposals past your tax advisers first to make surethere are not any adverse tax consequences.
Joe: Thanks Kerrie, this all sounds great. My onlyconcern now is how I manage and administermy various structures – it sounds like it could getcomplicated. I'd really like someone to do all that forme so I can focus on my businesses and spendingtime with my family.
Kerrie: Given the complexity of your requirements and thesize of your wealth, you should consider settingup a family office to manage your assets andcoordinate the administration of your structures.Again, you would want to set this up in a jurisdictionwhere there is expertise in wealth management andreadily available professional support. Guernseywould be a suitable place and having both yourfamily office and structures set up there would makesense. It is able to offer the expertise and supportyou need, you can fly there directly from Londonor Geneva so you can visit your family office asnecessary; it is politically stable and is a tax neutral jurisdiction for non-residents.

Journaling is one of those endeavors which many people start, but don't keep up. When looking through old journals, you might find a common pattern between them: the second half is empty. If your old journals look like this, or even if you have never attempted to keep a diary or journal before, don't let this discourage you. Don't wait! Here are 5 reasons why you should start journaling today:
It Helps You Unwind
The ups and downs of life, as well as the stress of daily responsibilities, can start to weigh down on the mind. Journaling at the end of a long day can help you relax and sort your thoughts out. If you prefer to write in the morning, journaling can help start your day off on a positive note and be more productive.
It Makes You More Grateful
What about if your day was easy, even blissful? What if you don't feel the need to unwind or de-stress? These are the days when you are less likely to write in your journal, but they shouldn't be! Writing on the days when things are going well can be a great way of realizing the blessings you might otherwise take for granted.
If your day wasn't so great, you can start by writing a few things you are grateful to Allah (swt) for. This will help remind you that there is always some good in our situation. That even in this hardship, there is ease. I find that even on the days that feel miserable, if I force myself to think about a few things that I'm grateful for, it lightens the load a little.
It Can Be Good for Your Mental Health
Journaling can help to cope with anxiety and depression, reduce stress, and improve your overall mood. Sometimes, simply putting your thoughts on paper can help relieve some of the burden of your mind. If you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed by it, though, be sure to discuss this with your therapist.
It Keeps a Record of Your Life
Have you ever looked back on some part of your life, in your mind's eye, and wished you could remember it more clearly? Or just wondered how much you have changed since a certain point in time? Journaling allows us to do all of this. If you journal consistently, you will be able to look back at any part of your life and read about it in your own words.
It's a Good Tool for Introspection and Reflection
These concepts are stressed in our faith tradition and throughout the Qur'an. As Muslims, we are constantly supposed to look into ourselves and evaluate our intentions, spiritual health, and relationship with Allah.
Journaling can help us think about what mistakes we made that day, which will hopefully lead to repentance and positive change. It also helps you acknowledge your growth and strengths, which is important as well.
"If you should (try to) count the favors of Allah (upon you), you could not enumerate them." (Qur'an 14:34)
Start journaling today and you'll see positive changes in yourself and your life, inshaAllah (God-willing).

Low Skilled Humans Need Not Apply: Exponential Job Disruption
I wish to emphasise before I begin that robots taking jobs is not the problem, the issue is the current government policies that are not ready to handle this disruption. I am not against automation, far from it, I want as much automation as possible but it would be naive to not consider any potential side effects with the way policies currently are and how slow government and culture can change regarding attitudes towards the most vulnerable in our society.

I think we are long overdue for cognitive implants. We should have worked out how to compensate for people's varying degrees of learning ability by implanting chips and loading software. After all, don't most jobs boil down to knowing how to execute a specific set of instructions in an efficient and effective manner? At the very least, we should be able to stimulate the appropriate sections of the brain with varying levels of electrical impulses via remotely triggered neural generators.

Words, as transient as snowflakes, can be very powerful.
Words, as transient as snowflakes, can be very powerful.
by athena kathy19 Dec 2018
The brittle winter night defers to snow.
Straight lines turn to curves
And stars to blurs
It lays till dawn
And nothing murmurs,
Nothing stirs.
Words are like snowflakes:
Hardly formed,
They melt away.
Ephemeral, impermanent,
Some make their mark,
Somewhere in the mind's own firmament
Ignite a vital spark
A lode-star
In a web of firing of neurons
Which make a pathway through the dark.
But others -
Sharp retorts
Unkind remarks
Polite non-sequiturs
Veiled threats
False reports
Promises which come to nought...
They take on the
Hardness of stones.
They will never go away.
They lie around like bones.

Haarlem through the eyes of Ulli Lust
Ulli Lust, renowned for her graphic novels such as Today is the Last Day of the Rest of Your Life, explored Haarlem for citybooks in February 2018. Inspired by her stay, she drew the series Lucky City, in which a flooded Haarlem is portrayed. The artist was triggered by the optimism of the Dutch, who've been living their everyday lives for centuries under the constant threat of water.
The exhibition takes places during the comics festival Stripdagen Haarlem 2018.
From: Lucky City © Ulli Lust

Both reference data (shared read) and activity data (exclusive write) are ideal for caching. However, not all application data falls into these two categories. There is data that is shared, concurrently read and written into, and accessed by a large number of transactions.
MemcacheD is typically used in the LAMP/J stack. MemcacheD is essentially an implementation of a distributed hash table across a cluster, each with large memory. It supports only object get and put operations; there is no support for transactions or query. Also, MemcacheD does not provide any support for availability. Most Web applications primarily use MemcacheD for caching large amounts of reference data. For high availability, these applications build custom solutions.
Oracle (Tangosol) Coherence, Gemstone Gemfire are two of the leading cache providers in the enterprise application space. Coherence is a Java-based distributed cache that is highly scalable and available for enterprise applications. Like MemcacheD, Coherence supports a DHT (distributed hash table) for scalability. However, unlike MemcacheD, Coherence provides high availability by implementing replicated, quorum-based data consistency protocols. Coherence also supports distributed notifications and invalidations.
Microsoft info bytes, code named 'Velocity', offers distributed caching functionality like competitor products.

These days, it's critical to have an awesome portrait that reflects confidence. With social media sites like Twitter and Facebook as well as LinkedIn and company websites, the on-line profile essentially replaces the business card. We have one chance in the online world to make a fantastic, first impression and having a stellar portrait is a great start.
Corporate headshots and environmental portrait photography are commercial assignments I do with regularity so it helps to have a system in place for retouching the portraits as the post-production process can be very subjective.
Typically, if time allows, my subjects have a chance to select their hero headshot immediately after their session and give me a heads-up on any specific retouching they would like me to do and the requests, as you can imagine, are always pretty consistent. Make me younger and thinner. Of course, I'm more than happy to oblige though I do tend to believe that we earn those grey hairs, the few extra pounds and the lines that show that we have been living our lives to the fullest.
When we have multiple portraits to do and are running low on time, I edit the images and upload between 3 to 5 of the best headshots of each person into a web gallery where the client can take their time in making their final selections. Once I receive their picks, it's showtime and I have a process that is incredibly effective and produces portraits that are engaging, confident and clean.
Take a look at the before and after samples below and move the slider to see the improvements that are made with retouching.
Before After
Before After
Before After
Before After
As seen in the samples above, the changes simply enhance the image as opposed to completely changing it except of course in the last example where the background color was modified to match the subjects' suit jacket.
The retouching for corporate headshots and environmental portraits that I apply are for the purpose of making each subject look their best so I do stay away from making drastic revisions that we see so much of these days. Simple fixes make us look like our genuine and best selves.
Keep in mind also that although there are plenty of fixes that post-production can provide, there are also a few simple things you can do to look your best for your corporate headshot or environmental portrait as well. This previous post was written with corporate portraits in mind however many of these guidelines apply to environmental portraits as well so check them out.

Metaphors matter because they frame the way we think about an issue–and the solutions we consider. I've been noticing recently that the Obama administration knows this too. (Guess they've read George Lakoff's Don't think of an Elephant!(2004).) A few weeks ago Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the administration would no longer be using the term "War on Terror." This was followed by an announcement by Gil Kerlikowske, the drug czar, that the administration will no longer refer to seeking solutions for the drug problems in this country as a "War on Drugs."
When we started referring to addressing the drug problem in this country as a war, we started thinking in terms of military/police solutions. Drug users became the enemy, and it was only logical to construe treating their health problems with compassion as being 'soft on crime.' Changing this approach when our attack wasn't succeeding would have been tantamount to surrendering–which no politician wants to do.
I think our war metaphor had an even subtler, more insidious effect. When we started using battle metaphors, we started thinking terms of winners and losers. And pretty soon there was an us vs. them mentality that became so intrinsic a part of our culture that we forgot that us and them are one and the same.
"We're not at war with people in this country," said Kerlikowske.
Hallelujah! Maybe now we have an administration that is really ready to reframe drug use–this time as a health issue. And, thinking of Clinton's quote, that is ready to rethink its approach to healing (rather than combating) the root causes of the anger that fuels people's resorting to terrorism.
Wonder what new metaphors the administration will come up with? Keep us posted if you spot any.

I Was a Contestant on a TV Game Show
What's The Good Word?
TV Game Shows
When you think of TV Game Shows what comes to mind? "Jeopardy"? "Let's Make a Deal"? "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" "What's My Line?" "The Price Is Right"? "What's the Good Word?"
If you don't recognize "What's the Good Word?" you may be forgiven. This was a game show that ran on CTV (Canadian Television Network) from 1972 to 1976, a rather brief period in the life of a game show. It was filmed in an understated studio in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, British Columbia on BCTV and broadcast throughout the CTV network across Canada. There was no Internet in that day, so it is unlikely anyone in Iceland or Lower Slobovia ever caught it.
My 15 Minutes Of Fame As A Game Show Contestant
In 1968 at a Swedish pop art gala, pop artist Andy Warhol is supposed to have said, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes".
The people we know as "celebrities" have gone on to extend their 15 minutes into months, years, maybe decades. And then there are those reality TV stars who have had an opportunity to have millions of people watching them, worldwide, for a couple of weeks. And finally, there are those of us who spent our shining, magical 15 minutes on a TV game show -- worse, a Canadian TV game show that never got 'syndicated' and that was seemingly purged from the CTV archives the moment it faded from existence back in 1976.
Yes, my husband and I had a very brief flirtation with fame and fortune back in some forgotten year between 1972 and 1976 on a couple of tapings of "What's the Good Word?" Yes, Alyza and Angelika, Grandpa and Grandma were almost in the same league as 'My Little Ponies' and Justin Bieber. Almost.
Typical Abode For People With Dreams
Have you ever considered being on a TV Game Show?
We Had Dreams
In the early 1970s my husband and I lived a humble life, with two small children, in an apartment in the city of Vancouver, BC. Like young couples everywhere, then and now, we scrambled to make ends meet. We ate home-cooked meals-- remember 101 Ways to Prepare Hamburger?-- and each of us had one or more jobs. We had dreams of living in our own home.
At this particular juncture in our life, I worked nights at the downtown Vancouver Post Office, sorting city mail 'walks'. My husband, Ed, was a young stockbroker. He had inherited a number of "dead" accounts, meaning the accounts of older clients who were no longer actively interested in investing had been shifted from the more ambitious, edge-clinging account reps. to the new guy (Ed and other greenhorns). Some of these inherited clients had had their 'accounts' sheared down to the last of their "nest eggs" by the time Ed arrived on the scene.
Every day he got up and went off to work very early (I think the markets somewhere in the world opened at 6 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, so he had to be at work then). The children and I did our little domestic routine and went off to a park for an hour or so in the afternoon, and then home to nap, during which time I watched "Coronation Street" and whatever followed it before fixing supper.
Because Ed went off to work so early, he also came home early. My brilliant young husband would start firing the "correct" answers to the questions on the 3:30 pm Game Show that was on when he arrived home. I was amazed. He knew all the answers. If we were contestants on this show we would walk away with all the prizes!
Yes, you guessed it. I got on the phone and signed us up as contestants. We were invited for an interview with one of the directors.
Contestants Are Interviewed
We were invited to meet with one of the show's directors at the studio in Burnaby and we excitedly made our way out there. We were asked if we watched the show, of course, and a few other like-questions and then given a short spiel on the importance of showing a great deal of excitement and energy during the show. I was asked how I would respond to getting a right answer. How would I react if I got a wrong answer? Examples were given of appropriate gestures conveying excitement: arm-flapping, an abbreviated piercing shriek of joy, an expression of shock and disappointment.
Ed and I are ... well... Canadian. And both of us are pretty introverted. We both had some Drama experience, and hammed it up for the director, but deep down we knew that we would be as likely to yell out "yee-haw" in front of a TV camera as we would be apt to swan dive off the Lion's Gate Bridge... not likely at all. In any case, he seemed to buy in to our assurances that we occasionally lose all dignity and jump up and down screaming and clapping.
The Grand Prize!
On With the Show-- This Is It...
When the day of the taping arrived we were told to have three distinct outfits since if we won Game one and Game two, we would go on to a third game. So, we wore one of our TV outfits and carried the other two on hangers into the change rooms.
We met the other two sets of contestants: a young couple about our age, and a couple of women who were roomies or best friends or maybe a mother and daughter-- two women, in any case. We exchanged some polite words together and watched the introduction to the show with the studio audience.
The prizes for the first contest were introduced at some length by the narrator. Third Prize (for the Contest's big losers) was an assortment of men's cologne products, a popular Asian-themed brand of the time, very spicy and supposedly reminiscent of popular actor Bruce Lee's amazing feats in movies like "Fist of Fury" and "Enter the Dragon". The fellow in the other contesting couple said, and not in a joking voice, "We better not win that!"
Second place winners got to go home with some cultured pearls that had a big presentation emphasizing their magnificence. And the first place winners, in the first 'round' (or day), would haul away a large swanky new microwave oven. I don't think I'd laid eyes on a microwave oven before that day-- and I was impressed and hopeful, not to mention fairly confident that my brilliant young husband would just overwhelm everyone with his significant brain power. Only the first-place winners went on to Game Two. At some point in time some cash got thrown into the winner's pot, along with the high tech. appliances. We were naïve and easily satisfied in the World of TV Game Shows-- the prizes seemed extremely appealing. Secretly, I even thought the men's toiletries were pretty exciting.
3rd Prize- Careful How You Use It!
What's the Good Word?
The game was based on a key word beginning with an introductory clue, and following guessing with a cascade of single word clues until someone got the right answer or the timer went off.
For example, a set might begin with "This can either be a friend to man or an enemy." Clues would then be read while the timer clicked down. Clues for this example set might be: WILD, RED, FLASH, GUN, ANTS, SIDE, TRUCK, HYDRANT, and finally FIGHTER. The good word, of course, is FIRE. (example provided by Wikipedia)
The game show's host was a lovely fellow named John Barton. He had a great baritone voice with a clear enunciation. Nothing in his tempo or tone implied "hurry up" or "how dumb can you be?" He was tall and slim with wavy hair and glasses, and a reassuring smile.
As the game unfolded, it was very clear that I had underestimated the confidence of my brilliant young husband. I had forgotten that when I first met him I was struck by how shy he was, and how he blushed more readily than anyone I had ever known. One-on-one in our livingroom he was able to whip out answers to any clue. Beside me, on camera, he sat with a frozen smile on his face, completely tongue-tied, maybe even terrified.
I had also underestimated the girl-team as opponents. Clearly they had discussed a strategy before-hand, and although I can't remember what it was, it worked! The other couple threw out a couple of wrong answers, I managed to get one or two points, but by and large, the girl-team beat the socks off us.
At the end of the round the drum roll cued the back-stage narration of the prize won by the third-place couple. Across the screen was displayed the bright array of men's cologne, soap, after-shave lotion. The commentator sang out the names of this couple and the beginning syllable of the name of their prize, only to be interrupted by a loud expletive from the prize's winner. A few shocked gasps and titters followed.
John Barton looked stunned, glancing around for direction. Someone yelled "Cut" and the cameras were shut down. The wife of the offending winner persuaded her hot-headed husband to be gracious and looked pleased for the re-take of the prize announcement. Apparently, this had never happened before in the history of the game show. But because it didn't violate the ethics of the program, "the fix" proceeded smoothly. Really, that little piece of spontaneous drama was the most exciting and memorable part of the game show experience for us.

Pearls of Wisdom
Yes, we won the second-place pearl necklace. And, actually, nobody went home with any prizes that particular day-- all of the prizes were sent out by mail. My brilliant young husband managed to get his voice back when the program ended, and was filled with shame and contrition.
As always happens in marriages (or correct me if I'm wrong please), I took a turn or two at letting him down in other foolish forays overlaid with vain hopes of fame and/or fortune.
Besides the 15 minutes of fame, I'm happy to say that my Auntie in Regina, Saskatchewan was excited to see us on her favourite game show several months later when it was finally shown. She was always my biggest fan.
What a wonderful and humorous story! That old Hai Karate commercial really got me cracking up. For some reason when I think of old commercials I don't think of them being wild and crazy like that. I would think like, "Leave it to Beaver" kind of scenarios or something! And that guy throwing out the expletive...so funny. Thanks for sharing this story, it really lightened my day.
Thanks for sharing your experiences on that game show with us. Most evenings I enjoy watching Wheel of Fortune and am pretty good at guessing the answers from the comfort of our home. It would be entirely different if cameras were rolling in front of an audience as your husband found out first hand.
Many years ago when I was a nursing student I was interviewed on a local television channel. I no longer remember the details except to say that I was beyond nervous! I had forgotten all about that until reading your experience. (Smile)
lol. How lucky that show wasn't going to air live! There would have been no chance to edit out that young man's reaction. :)
Re-Coronation Street. I can't say I'm a fan - it's 'popular culture' after all, isn't it? It first came out when I was a small child, and we only had two TV channels in those days so it was hard to avoid it. I still remember the names of characters from the 60's - Ena Sharpels, Albert Tatlock, Len Fairclough etc - but rather like with those 21st century songs, I probably couldn't name a single character today (apart from Ken Barlow who's been there since the very beginning)!
Soap operas, reality TV shows, current music, current literature - those are my blind spots which would be my downfall if I went on a quiz show today. In my world, culture stopped about 20 years ago :) Best wishes, Alun
I liked this Cynthia! I've thought in the past of trying to get on a quiz show and phoned up a few times to 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' but didn't get selected. I thought I had good general knowledge and felt I ought to be able to win a few thousand pounds (UK) on that show. However, like your husband, I would probably have clammed up and become befuddled!
I've given up trying again. Today, too many questions on most quiz shows seem to involve popular culture, and as I recently proudly claimed on a HubPages forum not to know the name of a single song written in the 21st century, I feel I could embarress myself badly if I tried today!
I liked the video at the end - to be honest the banality of the questions and answers in that spoof game show are not so far from the truth on some of the shows I've seen on TV!
Two last points; do you still get 'Coronation Street' in Canada? Here in the UK it's still going strong after 50+ years.
And I trust you now have a microwave and enjoy using it :) Alun
@Techygran, love it! Truly! I love your writing style and read every word. I have never been on a game show, but used to love watching them. I am Canadian, too, and remember that show that I think was called Definition ... so low-budget and low-tech but we don't know any better back then. It sounded like a pretty exciting experience for the two of you. I agree with Au Fait ... share some more --- this was fantastic, and I am sharing!
Think about it. You may remember some other experiences you'd like to share. Seems to me everyone has a story to tell. Everyone's life is special in one way or another and everyone has something they can impart to the rest of us for our benefit.
Remembering things is getting harder for me and I can forget anything at all faster than you can blink your eye. It's almost gotten so bad that I must wear a name tag so if I forget who I am I can just look at it and be reminded. ;) In the process of moving right now and that makes it even harder to remember who I am and why I'm here.
Meant to share this engaging story with my followers and give it some votes up. Maybe I did, but I can't remember and so maybe I'm going to do it again. That's if it turns out I already did. Well, it deserves a second promotion if that is the case. I really enjoyed it. Take care . .
Very entertaining and fun to read! In addition to the second prize, you got a good story for HP and I enjoyed reading it. Looking forward to more!
Your experience with the game show is interesting. The old show "Password" is about the only game show I willingly watched and might even been able to play. Otherwise, I would have been even worse than your husband at freezing up. voting up and sharing.
Cutest story I've read in a month! Sounds like you had some fun. I really got a kick out of your hubby's "camera shock."....LOL! UP++
Cynthia this is so funny, and voted that way and shared.
If I had the opportunity to go on a game show, I would but I doubt that I will ever get the chance. I did sing on the radio once, I won a t-shirt. That was not 15 minutes, so I guess that I have a few more minutes.
I loved reading about your experience as a contestant! It was so well written that I felt like I was there. I have often thought about going on a game show but I don't have the confidence in thinking I would do well, and don't want to embarrass my friends and family.
Oh how funny--good endorphins for this morning. You look gorgeous in your picture, Cynthia. Ed looks youngish. Interesting what goes on behind those shows.
It was once my dream to be a contestant on Jeopardy. After all, I'm dynamite with coming up with the answers (or questions) when I'm watching at home. However, I suspect that it might be just a little harder when you're in front of the cameras. I'm sure your experience is a great memory. But I think I've cured myself of any game show desires I once had.
The closet I came to a game show experience was winning at a slot machine in Vegas. The thrill here must have been tremendous. I enjoyed your story and glad you shared it with readers.
Hi Cynthia, how exciting for you and your husband. I always dreamed of appearing on games shows here like the Great Temptation, Who Wants to be a Millionaire etc, but I am too shy in public. I could sit and watch at home and amaze and annoy my family by answering all of the questions but was never confident enough to apply. I can sympathise with your husband. At one stage I thought I would enter a radio quiz. This particular one asked one question and listeners phoned in with their answer. There were four callers who gave the incorrect answer before my call got through and I answered correctly. However hearing myself on the radio gave me stage fright...I managed to get one more question correct and then the announcer asked me a question I could answer easily being a true movie fan. "What creatures did Charlton Heston encounter on another planet in ....a year?" easy of course.....Apes...Planet of the Apes was the movie, but do you think my brain would work...after a pause I said....dinosaurs! $100 prize down the drain....and jackpotting to tomorrow. I felt so dumb, and never even told my family I entered...
I enjoyed this hub enormously. Voted up.
While in college in the Los Angeles area, I knew a charming woman who used to always try out for game shows. She would miss class to go to LA for auditions, then come to her friends for a "crash course" to get a passing grade in the classes she missed. I don't know whatever became of her, but seeing how hard it was for her, I never bothered to try myself.
Wow! This was funny and awesome!
I couldn't find any clip of the program on Youtube so it may not have been saved and uploaded.
Both of you look a gorgeous couple in that picture, I must add.
It's too bad yo don't have a video of that. My mother was once in a commercial singing (she cannot sing and that was the point of the commercial). It aired locally and made her a local celebrity. We had a listing of every time it was supposed to come on so we would eagerly watch and giggle like baffoons.
Delightful read. Never thought of trying out for a game show. Sounds fun.
I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. However, it sounds like an unforgettable experience. Fake-o pearls are still a pretty cool prize though.
Wow! I think it is amazing that you have the experience of being on a game show. It's wonderful that you won the microwave when there were still pretty new. Did you use it often?
This is very interesting, techygran. It's entertaining, too! I enjoyed reading about your experiences and getting a behind-the-scenes look at the quiz show.
Very interesting hub! 70's----makes me nostalgic!
I remember, we also had many quiz and game shows in India during 70's. And we used to enjoy and get involved in them so much.
Thanks for sharing your personal experiences as a contestant on a TV show. I thoroughly enjoyed going through your hub.
Thanks and voted up!
Oh, I loved to watch game shows growing up and was quite good at winning while watching in my home LOL. I never thought that I could actually be on one live and in person. As shy as I was back then, I would have probably frozen and start to stammer and stutter.
Thank you for sharing of your interesting experience of actually being on a game show. What an experience! I enjoyed reading about your experience.
Ah, yes, the early days of marriage, sound a lot like mine back in the late 70s and early 80s.
You did a great job of sharing your experience! I enjoyed it. It sounds like it might be similar to the TV game, Password which was one of my mother's favorites. The infamous Betty White was on it consistently and her husband hosted it.
That would be great fun. I'm glad you experienced it and shared that experience with us.

These 11 quotes from transgender folks about what it means to be visible are important reading, today and every day.
For trans folks, today is your day to be celebrated, and acknowledged for your phenomenal strength and resilience, and for your thrive.

Opioid Manufacturers Lawsuit
One of the most challenging social issues facing America today is the opioid epidemic, which is devastating communities and affecting tens of thousands of people every year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, opioid overdoses cause five deaths every hour in the United States. There are many different things that people are trying to do to fight back against the problem, and one of the most interesting is that big cities across the country are filing lawsuits for pharmacy malpractice against the drug manufacturers, holding them responsible for the damage that they have caused. The City of Philadelphia is leading the way in this effort: the city has the highest overdose rate per capita of any big U.S. city.
In filing their pharmaceutical malpractice lawsuit, the City of Philadelphia is claiming that the pharmaceutical companies' marketing methods have led to the drugs being overprescribed. The attorneys representing the city say that because of the ways that the company is advertising, it has made addiction even worse and cost the city a great deal of money, and what they are hoping to accomplish by suing opioid manufacturers is the cost of treatment and other expenses connected with the epidemic.
There are many different opioids on the market, and they are manufactured and sold by many different companies. The city of Philadelphia is suing Allergan, Cephalon, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Endo Health Solutions and Endo Pharmaceuticals, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson, Purdue Pharmaceuticals LP, Purdue Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Purdue Frederick Co. Inc. Though the companies have largely indicated that they are concerned about the crisis, they have also denied the notion that they are liable for the damage caused by their products.
Opioid addiction generally begins innocently, with people being prescribed powerful painkillers by their physician or dentist following an injury or procedure. According to City Solicitor Sozi Pedro Tulante, "This epidemic can be traced back to the defendants' false and deceptive marketing to doctors and the public that these drugs are safe and effective for the daily treatment of long-term chronic pain." The city's costs have been "in the millions," with expenses including the money spent on sending police and first responders to help victims, as well as with the costs incurred by having so many city employees addicted. Families are also filing suit.
If you or someone you love has been affected and are interested in your rights to hold the drug companies responsible, we can help. Contact us today to learn more about your rights.

Get Ready for Single Touch Payroll From 1st June – 2018
From 1st July 2018 all employers with 20 or more employees must be using Single Touch Payroll (STP).
Under this new ATO system employers will be required to report to the ATO payments such as salaries and wages, pay as you go (PAYG) withholding and superannuation guarantee information from your payroll software solution each and every time you pay your employees. Hopefully your existing payroll software provider may already be STP ready, however it is important to check that it is set up correctly well before 30th June, 2018. Here are some steps you should consider:
- Do a headcount of your employees to find out if you had 20 or more on 1st April, 2018
- If you have payroll software: talk to your provider to find out how and when your product will be ready
- If you don't have software: choose a product that offers STP. (We can give you advice on choosing a product that suits your business needs.)
- Update your payroll software to a version that supports STP.
- Ensure that you understand how the software works and what you have to do.
We have attached an ATO and MYOB information bulletin to this advice for your information, however If you are unsure or would like our help to check if you will be ready come 1st July 2018, please do not hesitate to contact us for an assessment

Charlotte Rampling Quotes
18 Charlotte Rampling quotes:
"There are a lot of men of the same age in the same situation, so there will always be encounters to have as long as you're ready for them."
"She places in this young man all the desire and all the hope that she yearns for in her life, which finally turns out to be an imaginary life, but her imagination makes her really feel something for him."
"One of the reasons I don't see eye to eye with Women's Lib is that women have it all on a plate if only they knew it. They don't have to be pretty either."
"A film based on a jolly good John Grisham book is fine, but I like to get a bit under the skin."
"A lot of young actors will do a scene and then run off and look at themselves. I don't believe in that at all."
"Doing cinema is not about watching yourself."
"European films were what it was about for me - the sensations I needed, the depth, the storytelling, the characters, the directors, and the freedom that you can't really find in American films."
"French women have been made beautiful by the French people - they're very aware of their bodies, the way they move and speak, they're very confident of their sexuality. French society's made them like that."
"I am fascinated by the whole process of what it's like to be alive, whether it's unbelievably uncomfortable and horrible or whether it's quite nice."
"I did that film just so I could kiss Robert Redford."
"I think that most actors don't have very good opinions of themselves."
"If words don't have vibration behind them, and a real feeling behind them, then they're just words."
"Quite often in life, when a tragic event arrives it becomes a springboard for mirroring all other things in one's life that one hasn't come to terms with."
"The process of filmmaking is very musical, you get into the rhythm and the rhythmics of how someone is, especially with Woody Allen who is very much into body language and body movement."
"To grieve is something extremely difficult, we don't even know how to begin to grieve, and I don't know how you can be taught to grieve."
"Training is fabulous because it gives you a basis, a strong structure, so that when you're unbelievably nervous and you think that you can't get a word out, you will get the word out."
"You can never really judge your work because once it's done, it's done."
"You cannot watch yourself dispassionately."

In a nation built by slaves and immigrants and yet founded on the principles of liberty, freedom and justice for all, we have reached a point where taking a stand is our only option. In 2016, NFL player Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem as a silent protest against police brutality and racial injustice. The 29-year-old professional athlete exercised his first amendment right by kneeling for himself and those who do not have a voice or platform to do so.
MORE: 5 Reasons Latinos Should Support Black Lives Matter
In reaction to Kaepernick's position, many did not agree with or fully understand the meaning behind it. Fast forward to this season when players from several NFL teams, including the New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins, took knees during the anthem. Unsurprisingly, President Donald Trump tweeted out in response, "Many people booed the players who kneeled yesterday (which was a small percentage of total). These are fans who demand respect for our Flag," and "The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our Country, Flag and National Anthem. NFL must respect this!" Comments from Latinos surrounding the National Anthem protests took over social media, which featured mixed feelings on the topic as a whole. As a Latinx publication, we are here to educate the public with information on conversational topics. We've rounded up reasons why Latinos all over should take a knee and join the movement.
Latinos share deep roots with African Americans.
On Twitter one follower, Ms.McKinnon, posted, "I don't believe Latinos recognize they're African descent roots which is why they automatically disconnect from the topic. Educating ourselves on our background and race is liberating and insightful during times like these."
If you're an Afro-Latinx, your struggle is linked.
Even for those who aren't Afro-Latino or Afro-Latina, our struggles are still interlinked, and that should be enough to ignite the fire from within to want to dismantle social injustice. The social structures that identify African Americans and Latinos as inferior to the white race have been reproduced for centuries, and have slowly begun to change because of nonviolent protests.
Police are unjustly killing Latinos too.
According to the LA Times, "over the last five years in L.A. County, coroner's data show that Latinos, who make up about half of the county's population, also represent about half the people killed by police. Of the 23 people fatally shot by law enforcement in the county this year, 14 were Latino." Latina Feminist Mental Health Activist, Dior Vargas, said " We should also show our allyship on these issues because some Latinos have privileges which prevents these things from happening to our community at the same frequency and severity that Black people experience. The anti-blackness in the Latino community needs to stop. We cannot show respect to a flag that is representative of the injustices that this country is based upon. The mental health of communities of color are of the utmost importance and we have to show solidarity and support one another."
It honors our 1st Amendment right: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This includes postings on social media, those taking a kneel, and others speaking out. Latina celebrity Adrienne Balion shared her reasoning on the matter below. One follower who goes by, @natninety agreed with the post saying, "We can't be standing for something that is going completely against all of our 1st Amendment Rights. Freedom of speech has been taken to a new level and is being backlashed by a bully behind a keyboard on Twitter. Instead of seeing different sides he (Trump) continues to be a radical leader and putting down those who truly care about this country and its people, no matter religion, ethnicity or status in this country. This is another way for him to create a divide in this country instead of trying to mend all other things broken in this country as well as fire away at other leaders and create more bans. "
Even Carmen Perez, one of the co-founders of The Women's March on Washington took a moment to personally kneel with a group to show her support behind the movement.
President Trump has yet to show a clear action plan for the natural disasters that have directly affected our people in Puerto Rico and Mexico.
While he is too busy tweeting around the kneeling movement, many Puerto Ricans - who are Americans - are still suffering.The 45th President of the United States of America tweeted about Puerto Rico twice, once Maria hit and once the day after. During a press conference, the former businessman stated "Puerto Rico was absolutely obliterated," he said. "Puerto Rico got hit with winds they say they've never seen winds like this anywhere, got hit with a five, category five hurricane which literally never happens. So Puerto Rico is in very very tough shape. Their electrical grid is destroyed. It wasn't in good shape to start off with. But their electrical grid is totally destroyed. And so many other things." He has yet to formally show an action plan to support the devastating conditions of the isla. As Americans, we should take a knee as a protest against injustice around helping our neighbors in Puerto Rico.

We are the Ceaser Chavez's, Dolores Huerta's, and Joan Baez's of today's era.
Activism is acknowledging an injustice and making a social change which will impact future generations. Just like Dolores Huerta and Caeser Chavez—who started by fighting for farmworkers and ended up creating a movement via the United Farm Workers organization—and Joan Baez who used her music to speak out against injustice --- you too have the power to speak out.

Cesar Laurean, a former United States Marine, was recently convicted of first-degree murder in a case involving the death of fellow Marine, Lance Corporal Maria Frances Lauterbach. Since the conclusion of his trial, and the subsequent appeals process, the North Carolina Supreme Court has decided to allow the wrongful death lawsuit that has been filed against him by the victim's family.
Although Laurean has already been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, the family still believes that he should be held accountable for providing compensation for their loss. Reports of the incident explain that 20-year-old Lauterbach had been eight months pregnant at the time of her death, when she went missing from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina back in December of 2007.
Upon investigation of her disappearance, it was discovered that she had been brutally beaten with a crowbar and that her body had been burned once she was killed. Her remains were recovered from the backyard of Cesar Laurean in Jacksonville, N.C., who by that time had fled to Mexico. When he was eventually found three months later, prosecutors had to agree to take the death penalty off the table in exchange for his return to the United States—as the Marine had been born in Guadalajara, Mexico. Authorities speculate that she was killed in relation to a pending case that involved both the victim and her killer. Lauterbach had claimed that she had been raped by Laurean, and she was gearing up to testify in court about the matter. Before she had the chance, however, she and her unborn child were bludgeoned to death.
As a result, the family of the victim is seeking damages for the loss that they have suffered. If you have been forced to endure the loss of a loved one, as well, you should not hesitate to take the appropriate legal action.
By contacting an experienced attorney from our firm immediately and reviewing the facts of your case, it can be more accurately decided what action to take. Although monetary compensation cannot bring back the life that was wrongfully taken, it is a way to seek justice for their death, so do not wait to consult a lawyer from Lanier Law Group, P.A. today.

Historical Background
Since September, the house and hotel have a new owner. The former Managing Director Stephan Bode buys the SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA and from then on independently as owner, continues the entrepreneurial fortunes of the four-star superior hotel.
"Ruland's Thermenhotel" becomes the SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA with new content and a new atmosphere. The hotel lobby is spruced up, the sauna, massage, cosmetics and fitness areas enlarged and the hotel façade is now a fresh, radiant white. Additionally, all areas of the hotel were arranged to be ecologically sustainable, using as much regional and the best possible quality material.
The Ruland Fachklinik Falkenburg is taken over by the ACURA Clinics along with the Ruland Thermenhotel.
After 18-months of construction the new banquet and meeting area is opened in one of the most modern in the northern Black Forest.
Modernization of the large wellness area with thermal whirlpool, bio-sauna and Finnish sauna, steam bath and fitness room.
The 4-star Superior Hotel on the high plateau above the Bad Herrenalb railway station opens under the name "Ruland's Thermenhotel", at the same time as the Fachklinik Falkenburg, which focuses on the areas of orthopedics, cardiology and neurology.
The Fachklinik Falkenburg, a specialized, clinic was opened.
In 1973 Gisela and Hans Ruland founded their first rehabilitative clinic in nearby Waldbronn. True to the credo "Rehabilitation instead of Retirement" they continued to develop the company and found the ideal conditions for successfully accompanying people on the way to full recovery in Bad Herrenalb on the site of the former Sanatoriums Hummelsburg. The foundations for today's ACURA Fachklinik Falkenburg were laid with the SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA.

An OEM version of a product is a copy of a product (ApplicationProgram, Hardware, Product, Hardware2Program) with a new manufacturer ID.
Create OEM version
To create an OEM version of a product:
·Make available a KNX Manufacturer Tool project with the original product data (registered or not). If only a *.vd*/knxprod file is available, first convert it to a KNX Manufacturer Tool project as described in Create a new Product based on an existing Product.
·Execute the File » New » Project command and then the "KNX Manufacturer Tool OEM Project".
·Select the *.mtproj file of the project with the original data
·Select the target manufacturer
The resulting project is identical to the original project, except that
·the manufacturer ID of all data is changed
·the OriginalManufacturer attribute is set to the manufacturer ID of the original manufacturer (exception: if the original manufacturer was "KNX association", this is left empty)
·registration data is removed, all products are set to unregistered.
To do
After creating the OEM project, the following remains to be done:
·Check unique keys: make sure the unique keys (Hardware: SerialNumber and VersionNumber, ApplicationProgram: ApplicationNumber and ApplicationNumber, Product: OrderNumber) do not interfere with any existing product of the new manufacturer. If it does, these unique keys must be changed.
·Edit the data as required
·The original data might already be an OEM version, in this case the OriginalManufacturer attribute is left unchanged
·When created from a *.vd*/knxprod, the folders and file names might be confusing because they refer to the original manufacturer. Since the structure and names of files plays no rule in MT, you may move or rename the files freely.

text: New Wale Album Done 5th April 2017 news Wale has finally giving an update on his new album's status called SHINE. Wale apparently sent DJ Booth a text message that said " It's done, complete" when asked about the album. Although he did not reveal any other details regarding an official release date yet or who he might be featuring on the project. Seeing how careful he has been with the music lately, one could expect something worth the wait for sure huh?
