Baby Fuzz, otherwise known as Sterling Fox, is a seriously talented young musician and artist who fuses indie rock, glam pop, and soul-crushing ballads, that make for one hell of a listening experience. "Shadowland" is, in fact, one of these aforementioned listening experiences and I am graced with the pleasure of attending to this premiere.
Baby FuzZ opens "Shadowland" with a dissonant piano, "calling meekly" to all of us with his heart bared for all to see as the honeyed vocals and a moving piano melody that grabs us by the throat and tugs ferociously at our heartstrings.
"Shadowland" reaches its pinnacle at the 1:18 mark as Baby FuzZ screams from the deep, to the crowd viewing his soul plainly and fully, "I'm still here." I think the most important piece of this emotional tour de force is the short but effective harmony of "doo-doo-doo" as crowd screams and applauses only to end with a sense of dread and wonder as the song ends in silence.
I have been on a road trip from Los Angeles to Seattle the past couple days and I have listened to "Shadowland" at various points and Baby FuzZ's work here becomes so salient and poignant as I see the entirety of the Pacific coast on fire. As the post-apocalyptic skies break through the valley and waft down from the hills much like the voice of this young talented musician. As the fiery, blood-red son bears down on the Earth below I have to ponder if the Earth is screaming into the void, "I'm still here."

As mother and daughter explore the Piazza della Signoria, a serendipitous breeze blows Clara's hat into the hands of handsome young Florentine, Fabrizio Naccarelli, and the two fall instantly in love. As their passions grow stronger, Margaret must wrestle with her impulse to protect Clara and her desire to see Clara loved and adored in a way that Margaret can only dream of."
Here is a look at the production:
Rebecca Eichenberger, Whitney Bashor and More in TheaterWorks' The Light in the Piazza

rom sparkling lights to hot cocoa by the fire, the picture-perfect Christmas is what many people are longing for. Having a picture-perfect Christmas season is one thing, capturing it is a whole other ball game. You want to preserve those memories but the twinkling lights turn into blurry blobs and your cozy cocoa by the fire picture turns into a washed-out mess. Sound familiar?
Well, this is your year. Not only to have picture-perfect plans, but to be able to share perfect pictures with those you love. Here are the top four picture taking tips that will make all the herald angels sing about your Christmas photos.
1. Lose the Flash
This may be the number one way to ruin your cozy pictures this season. Using a flash, inside or outside adds a cold, washed out look to pictures. You may be thinking, "yeah but what if it's dark and we can't see anyone's faces in the picture?" Well there's a couple of solutions to that. First, find someone else that has a smart phone, have them stand behind you and shine their flashlight on whatever subject you're shooting. This may take some trial and error but adding a cell phone back light is a great way to add a softer glow to a photo.
2. Capture Candids
Now this may seem like a contradiction. Don't perfect pictures need to have perfect smiles and perfect placement? The answer is NO. Candid photos of kids with messy hair opening presents or sneaking a picture of Grandma and Grandpa holding hands while enjoying the grandkids will mean much more than any perfectly symmetrical, posed photo. Be ready to take a lot of pictures to capture the perfect candids, you never know when your Instagram moments will pop up. Look for the magic opportunities to capture the pure, spontaneous joy of the holidays.
3. Try HDR Mode
Some of the most beautiful holiday pictures you can take are of bright Christmas lights twinkling in the night. Using a flash makes the lights disappear and sometimes using a back light ruins the feel. Your phone has a secret weapon you probably don't even know about. Turning on your HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting allows your phone to take multiple photos at different exposures and then puts them all together to get the most balanced light/shadows. Check out these two photos- the one on the right is with HDR, the one on the left is without. What a difference! These places were equally lit- so it's time to bust out the HDR and capture all the twinkle lights.
4. Get on the Grid
The rule of thirds is a simple rule that makes a huge difference in photos. The goal is to get the center of your subject on one of the intersections of a 3X3 grid. (see photo below) Centering the focus on one of the grid intersections gives your photos great balance and makes them more esthetically pleasing. For those of you with the iPhone 7 or above- using the rule of thirds with your portrait effect will send your photos right over the top! To turn the grid on your camera, check out your phone's camera settings and get on the grid!
These simple tips/tricks will bring your holiday photos to the top of everyone's favorite list this year. Creating your picture-perfect Christmas can now be accompanied by perfect pictures to preserve those memories for generations to come.

Although you can get salmon fillets without their skin, salmon steaks need the skin (and the center bone) to hold them together as they cook. Just remove the skin before eating. (And in this case, where the salmon is served with a sauce, you might want to remove the skin before you plate the salmon and cover it with sauce.)
Serving suggestion: Serve the salmon with something that will get good mileage out of the delicious green sauce, such as baked potatoes or brown rice.
- 1 green bell pepper, roasted
- ½ cup packed cilantro sprigs
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 canned or bottled jalapeño pepper
- 1 anchovy fillet
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 4 salmon steaks (6 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon tarragon
1. Preheat the broiler. Roast the bell pepper. (Leave the broiler on.) When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel and transfer to a food processor or blender.
2. Add the cilantro, orange juice, lime juice, oil, jalapeño, anchovy, and ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and process to a smooth puree. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and stir in the scallion.
3. Rub the fish with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and the tarragon. Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat, turning once, for 6 minutes, or until the salmon just flakes when tested with a fork. Serve the salmon topped with the green sauce. Remove the salmon skin before eating.
Makes 4 servings.
Nutrition per serving: 276 calories, 14g total fat (2.4g saturated), 93mg cholesterol, 1g dietary fiber, 6g carbohydrate, 30g protein, 418mg sodium.

Liberman bashes UN for silence on Palestinians killed in Gaza, Lebanon
Defense minister speaks by telephone with envoy Nickolay Mladenov about Hamas executions and refugee camp shootings
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman chastised United Nations envoy to the Middle East Nickolay Mladenov for not commenting on recent cases of Palestinians being killed in Lebanon and Gaza, saying it showed the "hypocrisy and double standards" the world has against Israel.
Liberman spoke to Mladenov by telephone on Wednesday, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Last week, five people were killed in clashes at the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in Lebanon, while three Palestinians were executed by hanging in Gaza by Hamas for allegedly "collaborating" with Israel.
"The international community's disregard for the dozens of people killed and injured again proves the hypocrisy and double standards by which the world operates, in which it overlooks serious cases like these, while on the other hand, it denounces every justified action taken by Israel against terrorism," Liberman said, according to his office.
The defense minister added that he expects the executions and deaths of these Palestinians to be discussed in an upcoming UN Security Council meeting.
Clashes erupted in the Ain al-Hilweh camp late Friday as Palestinian factions participating in a joint security force begun deploying throughout the area in the southern city of Sidon.
They came under fire from a local Islamic extremist group in part of the camp, prompting clashes that Lebanese and Palestinian medics said Sunday had killed five people and wounded at least 30, mostly civilians.
Lebanon's army does not enter Palestinian refugee camps, where security is managed by joint committees of Palestinian factions.
Ain al-Hilweh is home to some 61,000 Palestinians, including 6,000 who have fled the war in Syria.
Last Thursday the Hamas-controlled Gaza interior and national security ministry said in a statement that tree men were hanged for helping Israeli intelligence gather information on its operations.
The executions come amid a hunt by Hamas, the de facto ruler of the Gaza Strip, for "collaborators" with Israel after the recent assassination of one of its terror chiefs, Mazen Faqha, which it blames on the Jewish state.
However, according to the ministry, none of the three men killed was involved in Faqha's death.
The three were all charged with handing over information about the whereabouts of Hamas men and military sites over the past three decades, which led to the death of Hamas fighters.
Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of the Middle East division of Human Rights Watch, said in a statement, "The abhorrent executions by Hamas authorities of three men in Gaza deemed to be collaborators project weakness, not strength."
"Hamas authorities will never achieve true security or stability through firing squads or by the gallows, but rather through respect for international norms and the rule of law," she said.
Under Palestinian law, death sentences can be handed out for those collaborating with Israel, murderers and drug traffickers.

Supa Bwe revisits his Just Say Thank You EP with an animated music video for the Chance The Rapper-assisted song "Rememory."
"Tristious, who animated the video, wanted to emphasize the song's ability to convey a feeling of deep nostalgia by using shows we (90's babies) watched as kids as a platform to build from, which quickly became an ode to our childhoods, meant to make one feel better than they did before they tuned in" says the Chicago rapper. "It's a really creative piece, I'm really excited to share it with y'all!"
Watch below and expect Supa Bwe's Jaguar project to arrive next month.
The post Supa Bwe – Rememory (Feat. Chance The Rapper) (Official Music Video) appeared first on rapWAVE.

They transmit faster. Annual saving could exceed three hundred dollars." The Boss says, "Next item on the agenda, remember I'll be in Switzerland next week on a fact-finding trip."

Editor's note: As we welcome a new year, we at Roadbikereview are taking a moment to look back at the bikes and products that improved our riding experience in 2019. Some products were new for the year, others are tried and true items that are still best-in-class. Here are five products that Jordan Carr fell in love with in 2019.
Jordan Carr's 2019 Gear of the Year
Though my road riding has shifted from pavement towards dirt and gravel roads, my love for drop-bar riding continues to be an important part of my riding routine. Whether it's a short jaunt to shake out the legs or an all-day exploration of the logging roads surrounding my house, these go-to products always come with me. My preferred products align with my needs out on those roads less traveled and thus are chosen for their thoughtfulness, durability, and improvement on the quality of my ride.
Knog Big Cobber Taillight
When out on the road I strive for peace of mind in knowing that I'm visible to vehicles in passing and have been much more adamant in always packing a taillight. Australian brand, Knog, has been working to keep cyclists safe on roads for years now and the 270-lumen Big Cobber taillight is the brand's brightest and most visible taillight yet. With a full 330 degrees of visibility, drivers can see one of the eight light modes. I've been extremely impressed with the Big Cobber and all my friends who have driven past me always comment on how noticeable I've become with it.
More info: www.knog.com
WTB Venture Tire 700×40
Designed around adventure road riding the Venture is a versatile tire that maximizes efficiency, durability, and performance with a semi-slick tread design. The large, high-volume footprint of the Venture allows for more of the working edges of the tread to always be in contact with the terrain while the dual compound rubber creates a fast rolling tire with great corning traction. A rounded profile with vertical channels enhances cornering characteristics while the tires high volume casing creates a more comfortable ride.

Lezyne CRV-19 Multi-Tool
I'm a sucker for quality tools, especially when out on the road. Lezyne has become synonymous with well thought out multi tools and pumps since they burst into the cycling scene in 2007. I've been through quite a few Lezyne products and they've all been extremely functional and well designed, the CRV-19 is no exception.
More info: www.lezyne.com
Smith Attack Max Glasses
Founded in 1965, Smith Optics offers extensive knowledge in performance optics; with an eclectic mix of shades available dependent upon your personal needs and preferences. For my riding needs, the Attack Max glasses check all the boxes and do so with stylish fashion. Available in a range of color and lens options the performance oriented glasses are sleek, comfortable, and perform amazingly well both on and off the bike. My favorite lens addition is the photochromatic options that lighten or darken depending on light exposure.
More info: www.smithoptics.com
Giro Synthe MIPS
Designed around aerodynamics, breathability, and clean aesthetics, the Synthe MIPS not only looks good but it also prioritizes safety with the integration of MIPS and a thermoformed "roll cage" that beefs up the helmets impact absorption. But above all that, the Synthe MIPS is one of the best fitting road helmets I've used, which in turn makes it much easier to wear for those long days in the saddle.

Exhibit Showcases Basquiat as a Teenager
Howl! Happening has a pretty cool showcase on the horizon.
Zeitgeist: The Art Scene of Teenage Basquiat, is a group exhibition honing in on the artists and scene around poetic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat's teenaged, pre-fame years. When he was known as one-half of the informal graffiti duo SAMO, who wrote suggestive political dichotomies throughout the Lower East Side. (The other half being Al Diaz.)
Curated by Howl! Happening, Sara Driver, Carlo McCormick, and Mary-Ann Monforton, Zeitgeist also coincides with the upcoming theatrical release of Sara Driver's film BOOM FOR REAL: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat, from Magnolia Pictures. The film is slated to premiere May 11 at IFC, New York.
The timeframe covered in both the exhibition and film tells the story of Jean-Michel's early work, his peers, and the creative community he ran with – gritty, pre-AIDS, downtown New York – before the rise of popularized 80s art and the Lower Manhattan real estate explosion. The exhibition – along with a series of special events – sheds light onto Basquiat's work and that of his friends and other artists, writers, filmmakers, and musicians who emerged from that scene.
Special events will include:
- A panel discussion featuring Alexis Adler, Felice Rosser, Lee Quiñones, Al Diaz, and more
- A screening of Howard Brookner's 1983 documentary Burroughs: The Movie from the Criterion Collection
- An evening of films featuring an experimental film by Basquiat's bandmate Michael Holman, with a soundtrack by Gray, the band he and Basquiat formed; David Schmidlapp's film of Walter Steding playing beneath the Brooklyn Bridge; and Paul Tschinkel's film about New York/New Wave, curator Diego Cortez's groundbreaking exhibition at PS1 in 1981
- A performance by Felice Rosser
- Readings
- A special series of film screenings in collaboration with Anthology Film Archives
The exhibit opens Sunday May 13, from 6-8pm, and runs through June 10. More info at Howl! Happening.

Analysis: radio ratings survey 8 2017
Tuesday 19 December, 2017
Nova Perth breakfast team
Our analysis of networks and cities for radio ratings survey 8.
Refresh this page during the day to get the latest updates.
See the raw results here and Spin here.
Santa was kind to Triple M with the men's network gaining ground in every market except Adelaide.
It went up by exactly 0.7 in both Sydney and Melbourne where the Breakfast shows holding up their end of the bargain. Brisbane was up 0.4 and Mix94.5 went up 0.5 to retain its vice-like grip on #1 in that Market. Adelaide was the only MMM to drop with a -0.7 result.
Over at HIT, Santa was not quite as generous. Sydney edged up by 0.1 overall which is a hero better than edging down by the same margin when you have just a 3.9 share. More worrying is that Breakfast is down to 2.8.
In Melbourne, Fox slipped by -0.3 playing it at #2 FM behind Gold. The HIT brand slipped in Brisbane and Adelaide too by -0.7 and 0.8 respectively.
In Perth, though, 92.9 jumped 1.4 to land in 4th place in that market.
Nova Entertainment
Is the listener love affair with smooth over? Both stations recorded losses - Sydney down by -0.6, but in Melbourne, the numbers plummeted by -2.3 to land on a 7.8 share going from #2 in the market just two surveys ago to #6 today.
What's more, in Melbourne while the Drive shows on Fox, Nova and KIIS all gained significant audience shares, smooth's Drive dropped by -2.7.
The results were better at Nova where Sydney remained steady (-0.1) and Melbourne was up by a handy 1.1.
Brisbane was down -0.6 but with it's 13.3 share overall, the station maintained it place at the top.
Adelaide was up 0.8 to put it just 0.3 behind perennial market leader Mix 102.3.
In Perth too, Nova enjoyed a nice gain of 1.0 to play it within reach of leader Mix 94.5 at just 0.9 behind.
Read our earlier report about ARN's strategy for next year here.
It was a crackerjack day for ARN in Sydney where network siblings KIIS and WSFM not only retained their #1 and #2 positions on the FM band but went up again to be #2 and #3 overall leaving smooth and ABC Sydney in their dust.
In contrast, Melbourne was weird. GOLD lost much of its gains from last time (down -1.5) while KISS after locking in new Breakfast and Drive shows for next year jumped 1.3. Yet, the station failed to improve its ranking and remains near the tail end of the commercial FM pack ahead only of Triple M.
In Brisbane, the once dominant 97.3 FM drifted -0.7 and further from the lead now held by Nova with HIT105 at #2.
97.3FM's main threat now is its own stablemate, the venerable 4KQ on the AM band which put on a 2.1 surge to land on a 10.2 share, just 0.2 behind it's FM sibling.
Then just to prove that with the right format AM music stations cannot only survive but thrive, CRUISE1323 in Adelaide also put in a blinder with a 1.5 gain to put it in 4th place in the market ahead of its more fancied rivals on FM, Triple M and HIT107.
MIX 102.3 lost -0.5 but retained 1st place in the market.
Meanwhile, in Perth 96FM lost some of the ground it made last time with a -0.4 drop.
Read our earlier report about ARN's strategy for next year here.
Macquarie and Other Talk
Both 2GB and 3AW shed -0.5 in audience share yet retained their long held number one spots in each market. But it is 3AW on a 15.0 share of the Melbourne audience that has emerged far the more dominant of the two when compared to 2GB's 11.3 share in Sydney.
In Brisbane, though, 4BC is heading in the right direction and put on a 0.6 spurt to land on a 6.2 share. 6PR, in Perth, lost a little ground (-0.4) but still managed a 7.5 share to put it neck and neck with the Local ABC station.
What would be Macquarie's second highest rating station in the network, if only they owned it, FIVEaa in Adelaide, which belongs to NovaEnt, gained 0.8 to land on an 11.7 share placing it third in the market.
The Talking Lifestyle brand seems to have levelled out. The Sydney iteration is the best performed of the trio on a 3.5 share propped up by the only two programs that beat the station average: George and Paul on the weekends with a 7.2 share and to a lesser extent John and Garry on Breakfast on 3.9.
In Melbourne Talking Lifestyle is listened to by 0.3 per cent of the measured audience while Brisbane has 0.5.
ABC Local
ABC Local stations must have been very naughty this year because Santa has brought them little cheer this Christmas. Following one of its worst results in recent memory in Survey 7 the network has backed it up with a further, even bigger, drop in Survey 8.
Last time our For and Against table showed ABC Local as having lost -2.1 in audience share as a network. This time it has lost a further -3.2.
triple j
At triple j the results were pleasing overall with Sydney steady; Melbourne up 0.9; Brisbane also up 0.9; Adelaide up 1.4 and Perth, the only market to lose significant share was down -1.2.

Jacob Burckhardt famously described Venice as the mysterious city of 'political secrecy'. In his wake, generations of scholars have continued to point to the remarkable degree of secrecy maintained by Venetian officials where political matters were concerned. Such secrecy, they have claimed, was central to the survival of the early modern state.
France in the early-modern period presents us with a range of striking images, from its bloody civil wars to its fabulous court at Versailles, from its swashbuckling musketeers to its mistreated peasantry, all of which feature in the pages of this impressive monograph.
In Thomas Cannon's 1749 pamphlet Ancient and Modern Pederasty Investigated and Exemplify'd, the author recounts a chance meeting with a 'too polish'd Pederast' who, 'attack'd upon the Head, that his Desire was unnatural, thus wrestled in Argument; Unnatural Desire is a Contradiction in Terms; downright Nonsense.
The intellectual historian Martin Jay once championed the cause of 'ocular-eccentricity' as an alternative mode of visual engagement.(1) The term, of course, was a play on 'ocularcentricity', the concept that the rational power of the eye had come to dominate the nature and scope of our interactions.
Sandra Cavallo's Artisans of the Body in Early Modern Italy will appeal to scholars interested in the social history of medicine for more than one reason.
The Jesuits and the Monarchy: Catholic Reform and Political Authority in France (1590–1615) / Eric Nelson
As popular television and film insists on reminding us, Jesuits were infamous in the early-modern period for plotting the deaths of monarchs. Shekhar Kapur's portrayal of Edmund Campion in Elizabeth (1998), cloaked and dagger in hand, is a case in point.
El Marqués de Velada y la Corte en los Reinados de Felipe II y Felipe III: Nobleza Cortesana y Cultura Política en la España del Siglo de Oro / Santiago Martínez Hernández
This is a book of exceptional originality and importance. Dr Martínez Hernández has written a biography of Don Gómez Dávila y Toledo (1541–1616), II Marquis of Velada, but such is the breadth of his research that his book reshapes our understanding of the courtly politics and of the policymaking processes at the Spanish court in the critically important period from the 1560s to the 1620s.
To study Russia before the late 19th century is to labour under a twofold handicap.
This book might come as a surprise for non-specialists, since black Africans are identified with slave trade to the Americas, while the Renaissance is regarded as a purely European phenomenon, centred on a largely homogeneous ethnicity. Neither of these assertions is true, and this excellent book helps to deconstruct such historical stereotypes.
In this intellectually stimulating book Andrew C. Thompson criticises a realist interpretation of British foreign policy. His main argument runs that eighteenth-century foreign policy 'was not simply determined either by the desire for profit or territorial gain. It was part of a complex web of ideas that were intimately related to a broader political culture' (p. 2).

Shwe man Thu Express BusThe Shwe Mann Thu Express Bus
From Mandalay to Bagan the boat trip is very long (9-10 hours). Mandaylay and Bagan are only about 200 km away on the chart. Anyone know how long it will take by bus from Mandalay to Bagan? but can anyone give me an up-to-date updated on what it's like?
Hi, sir, do you have an adress for the bus terminal in Bagan? Are they operating from different bus terminals in the area? At which bus terminal do they reach Mandalay? Also, the name of the bus is "Chan Mya Shwe Pyi Highway Bus Terminal", many call it "Kwe Se Kan Bus Station".
From Bagan, Inle lake, Yangon all busses come and stop at " Kwe Se Kan ". The bus terminal is for Mandalay's southern directions and locations (such as Yangon, TaungGyi( Inle Lake), Bagan, Magwe, Pyay, Mawlamyine ("Golden Rock"), Hpa An, PaThein).
Two other new bus companies recently operated between Mandalay and Bagan. You can see U Bein Sunset & also Sagaing, Innwa ("Former Royal Cities") around Mandalay. How are the bus timetables of the good busses from Mandalay to Bagan? In the mornings and early mornings we are planning to visit Bagan.
Shwe Man Thu Express is the best bus company between Mandalay and Bagan. Mr. Soe Soe gave me a great deal of information and I was touring Mandalay with him. A great leader, he knew a great deal about the past and let me discover the cultural life by seeing historic sites, enjoying a meal of tradition and speaking to the locals.
It also gave me information for a tourist leader in Bagan, whom I used. I' ve been to Mandalay, Bagan and Mt. Popa for about six nights. How are the timetables for the bus journey from Mandalay to Bagan via Shwe Man Thu Express? Is it possible to indicate the hours from early dawn to noon?

This section contains all the frequently asked questions about Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rods. These systems are also called ICCP system or impressed current anode. Can't find the correct answer? Contact us!
Anode Rod
Yes, it is even highly recommended to install an imposed current anode if you have a water softener.
The water softener generally makes the water more aggressive to the tanks, which reduces the life of your hot water tank and creates a more conducive environment for the development of Sulfur Reducing Bacteria that creates the rotten egg smell in hot water. The Corro-Protec Powered anode rod will automatically adjust to provide optimum rust protection.
Limescale may form if the anode is too close to the walls of the hot water tank and the current flows too quickly between the anode rod and the tank. Corro-Protec powered anode, unlike other anodes, has a design that prevents this type of reaction. Indeed, the white plastic present in the top of the titanium anode prevents this kind of reaction and ensures that the anode is well positioned in the tank.
Does a Powered Anode protect the bottom of the water heater even if it is shorter than the original anode?
The answer is YES. Since the sacrificial anode must sacrifice itself to protect the hot water tank, it is important that the anode is large enough to last for several years. However, the powered anodes rod do not work in the same way, so they are much smaller.
A powered anode related to electricity being fed into the anode to impose a flow of current rather than relying on natural electrolysis. The length and size of the anode, as well as the current sent by the rectifier will influence the life expectancy of the anode. Corro-Protec anodes have been designed to work for more than 40 years, no matter how hard your water is. In order to know more about the lifetime of the current anodes, I invite you to visit our blog post: Tests of Powered Anode
Yes! Corro-Protec Powered Titanium Anodes are recognized by some insurance companies :
Our Corro-Protec anodes are made from titanium and coated with MMO, which improves their performance.
The stability of MMO (mixed metal oxide) coated titanium anodes have been used for almost 30 years. MMO coated titanium anodes are used in various environments such as seawater brackish water fresh water carbon backfill and concrete.
No. Since Titanium Powered Anodes are stable, there is no metallic leaching in the concerned environment and therefore no residual pollution.
Yes, Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod can be installed in a used water heater. However, we recommend the installation of a Corro-Protec during the first 5 years of wear of the hot water tank to maximize its efficiency.
Some fiberglass hot water tanks require anodes to protect certain metal parts in the tank. If your tank is equipped with a magnesium anode, you can install a Corro-Protec.
In most cases, these tanks do not have anode and do not need any additional protection.
Yes, Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod is a universal system that adapts to any type of steel or stainless steel hot water tank. Five different Corro-Protec are available depending on your water heater:
– 10 to 30 gallons
– 40 to 80 gallons
– 90 to 120 gallons
– Corro-Protec Oil
– Corro-Protec Stainless
Since Bradford White water heaters have the magnesium anode built into the hot water outlet, we need to do a few extra steps to install a powered anode rod. Please see following link : https://www.corroprotec.com/anode-rod-replacement/
Yes, it is possible to install Corro-Protec by yourself. Visite our Replacement page to learn how to replace your magnesium anode rod by our powered anode rod in 15 minutes! You can also find the guide directly in the box of your Corro-Protec.
The answer is no and that is why Corro-Protec offers different models adapted to tank sizes.
If your water heater has two anodes, you can replace one of them with our Corro-Protec imposed current anode and leave the other one in place. Even if you install the Corro-Protec anode to eliminate the rotten egg smell in your hot water, you don't need to remove the second magnesium anode.
It is possible to find rust residues in your hot water after the installation of a Powered Anode Rod. The anode cleans the tank, so residues will be present in the water throughout the cleaning process.
Yes, because the voltage adjusts automatically depending on the resistance of your water. A very low voltage means that your water is very conductive and the anode does not need to send much current to provide adequate protection.
Yes, The Corro-Protec rectifier meets the following requirements:
- Conforms to UL STD. 1310
- Certified to CSA STD. C22.2 NO.223
If you want to learn more about the tests performed on our anodes, visit : https://www.corroprotec.com/blog/tests-of-powered-anode-iccp/
To ensure that the cathodic protection works, the following conditions must be met:
- The rectifier must be connected
- Corro-Protec must be connected to the rectifier
- The negative side must be installed on the water heater, as indicated in the instruction manual.
- The water heater must be functional (filled and operational)
If the above conditions are met and the indicator light is not lit, please contact us to complete a claim.
The Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod only needs a few amperes to operate. Your electricity cost will be less than $2.

The testing software features give analytical data that give insights into a candidate which can help to take the right decisions without any biases. This saves a lot of time and administrative cost. Before we tell you the best online assessment software, you should understand the types of assessment software, because if you check the Google top results then the top 15 show results of landing pages that talk about exam and quiz created for students or in general for everyone but assessments can be for various purposes, I have tried to categorize it below. Online assessment software can be categorized into 4 different types- Exam Softwares - By educational professionals to test the skills of students for something specific through exam software. Pre-employment Assessment Software - By hiring professionals to assess the skills of a candidate before hiring through pre-employment assessment software. Employment Assessment Software - By training professionals to assess the skills of employees before and after the training through employee assessment software.

While surfing the internet I found a lot of material on how to make great multiple choice question, tips for writing valid and reliable multiple-choice questions and much more. Even I found articles on how to cheat on any Multiple Choice Question? The top ones were "when in doubt choose c" and "all of the above" is usually the correct answer. It must be true for theory based questions but not all the time. When it comes to creating assessments the multiple choice question is the default question format we add. But where did it come from? Is there any proof that multiple choice questions are effective? Are there alternatives that we should be using to test the candidates? In this article, we'll dig a little deeper.
Employees are the key to a successful company, but why or how? Because it assumes that the employees are good. Good employees are the key to a successful company.

You need to find the best of all. So, what can you do to ensure that your company is the one getting the best candidates? How can you be certain that you're hiring someone that will do the job better than anyone else? It's at this point that we turn our attention to pre-employment skill testing.

Me to me: why does it hurt when I give attention to my feelings?
Me to me : because you're finally feeling parts of you that you used to ignore
Me: oh
Me: yup
Me to me: Is it worth it? Things seemed easier when I used to dissociate
Me to me : dissociating is like being homeless because you don't want to deal with the possibility of being woken up by the sound of the fire alarm and the ensuing panic and chaos. Feeling is like learning to find the calm in every storm so that you don't have avoid life and what naturally comes with it.
Me to me: you're so wise
Me to me : thank the trauma
Me to trauma : thank you trauma
Trauma to me: don't thank me, thank Allaah

Five ins and outs Burnley could complete on Deadline Day
A busy day lies ahead on and off the field for Burnley.
It is a massive day for Burnley, who have to balance transfer Deadline Day with a crucial Europa League match against Istanbul Basaksehir in Turkey.
Sean Dyche's side are aiming to reach the Europa League group stages to provide regular European action at Turf Moor this season, which may see the side dip into the transfer market late on to land fresh faces.
Impressive deals have already seen the likes of Joe Hart and Alfie Mawson move to the club in recent days but more deals could be on the horizon, as we identify five that could be completed before the 5pm deadline.
Sofiane Hanni: Spartak Moscow
Burnley reportedly targeted Spartak Moscow's Algerian international Sofiane Hanni back in January and may be encouraged to return with a late swoop for the midfielder following the latest reports from the continent.
Belgian outlet Voetbal 24 state that the 27-year-old is unhappy in Russia just months after his switch from Anderlecht, raising the possibility of a return to the Belgian Pro League – but Burnley could move to hijack a deal.
It is no secret that Sean Dyche wants to bolster his options in midfield and Hanni could be the ideal recruit.
Nahki Wells to Derby County
Following the capture of Matej Vydra from Derby County, there has been plenty of speculation that forgotten man Nahki Wells could move on loan to Frank Lampard's side in return – and it's a deal you are likely to hear plenty about on Deadline Day.
The Daily Mail stated earlier this week that Wells was set for a move to the Championship on loan as part of the agreement bringing Vydra to Lancashire, although a deal does not need to be completed today as the Football League loan window runs until the end of August.
28-year-old Wells made just nine Premier League appearances for the Clarets last season, failing to score a single goal.
Jay Rodriguez: West Brom
Speculation surrounding West Brom's Jay Rodriguez has rumbled on throughout the transfer window, with Burnley keen to bring the England international to Turf Moor but finding it difficult to negotiate a deal with the Baggies.
Discussions could now switch to a deal involving a player in return, according to The Daily Mail (live blog, 8.08am), with Burnley said to have rebuffed West Brom's request of £10m plus Sam Vokes for the signature of Rodriguez – which was rejected instantly.
That could provide the platform for further talks though, with Burnley not prepared to pay Rodriguez's £20m asking price.
Sam Vokes to West Brom
The other man involved in a potential swap deal with West Brom is Sam Vokes, who is currently in Turkey with the squad preparing for tonight's Europa League clash – but a deal for the forward does not need to be completed today.
The Daily Mail (live blog, 8.08am) states West Brom want Vokes as part of the deal taking Jay Rodriguez back to the Premier League and any agreement would likely be on loan, meaning the Baggies have until the end of the month to negotiate a deal.
"We definitely need more numbers, we're not deep in numbers, we know that. We want quality numbers, we don't just want any old player who can fill a slot, we want players who can be competitive."
– Comments from Sean Dyche last month suggests replacements are needed before sales.
Sam Clucas: Swansea City
Another saga that has dragged on for a number of months, Burnley have found it difficult to negotiate a deal with relegated Swansea City for the services of Sam Clucas but the chase could heat up on Deadline Day.
Sky Sports states Wolves have expressed an interest in the midfielder, who saw a proposed £8m switch to Turf Moor fall through at the weekend after failing to agree personal terms with the Clarets – which puts Dyche's side back at square one.
While Burnley may have moved on, a deal could be revived to stop Wolves from swooping.

19 Artists and Influencers Who Will Inspire an Inevitable Great Year Out of You
It's 2020. New year, new us; everything we didn't do in 2019, we're going to do now. However, we may need some help harnessing the mic-drop worthy amount of energy that will negate mundanity. There are a lot of people out there kicking life in the teeth that we can look to for inspiration; most of their stories, we don't even know. The ones we do know are on the screens of our televisions, computers, and phones daily. These 19 artists and influencers and their stories will inspire an inevitable great year out of us.

McConaughey Mondays: Weekly Inspiration Through Meaningless Quotes
The Rock
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the self-declared "hardest worker in the room." He's the guy who gets up at 4 a.m. and goes to the gym. His personal gym (the Iron Paradise) follows him around the world while he pursues his film career and other entrepreneur endeavors. He often tells the story of how he didn't make it as a football player and was cut from the team with $7 in his pocket (his production company is actually called Seven Bucks Productions). The rest is history. Now he's the biggest movie star around. The Rock even had an alarm clock app, dubbed "The Rock Clock," where fans could grind along with him (which they still do on social media).
Kevin Hart
At this point, everyone knows that The Rock and Kevin Hart are friends (begrudgingly). The two entertainers have connected due to their common appreciation for work hard and are always thinking about their next move. Hart is one of the most successful comedians in the world; he sells out football stadiums like it's just another Thursday night. He's also an actor, producer, and coauthor of the book, I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons. Hart is a source of daily inspiration on social media, reminding his followers to get up early and go after it; even in the face of criticism or injury, he reminds us to smile.
Alex Honnold
Alex Honnold is best known for being the rock star of rock climbing. He is the only person to ever free solo El Capitan in Yosemite National Park (which means he climbed 3,000 feet in around 19 hours without a rope). If you've seen the documentary about this, entitled Free Solo, you know one thing about Honnold: he's not like other people. He's driven, calculated, and loves climbing almost more than anything else. In that documentary, he says, "Anybody can be happy and cozy. Nothing good happens in the world by being happy and cozy." Honnold embodies what it truly means to leave fear behind and exit your comfort zone.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Phoebe Waller-Bridge has been making headlines ever since her show, Fleabag (which she wrote and stars in), became one of the most critically acclaimed series in the world. She also served as showrunner, executive producer, and writer for the first season of Killing Eve. However, before the first season of Fleabag in 2016, Waller-Bridge was known for her stage work. One of the plays she starred in was her one-woman play entitled Fleabag. That play won the Fringe First award at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and became what is now the BBC series. Waller-Bridge has used the last decade to become one of the most in-demand writers in Hollywood (and was most recently hired to rewrite the new Bond movie: No Time to Die). If you've seen Fleabag then you'll have a vague understanding of this woman's heart. As Fleabag character Belinda says, "People are all we've got. So grab the night by its nipples and go flirt with someone."
Sean Evans
Here's something that needs to be said: most talk shows blow. First We Feast's series Hot Ones is a different story; it's the show where celebrities have to endure increasingly hot wings while answering fantastic questions. Most talk show hosts don't know how to conduct a good interview, but Sean Evans does. He always shows up prepared, having read the guest's book or watched their show. He and his team research their guests thoroughly. On top of this, he's out there, every week, eating the hottest things imaginable (the above GIF is of him eating a Carolina Reaper). The format for Hot Ones was originally Christopher Schonberger's but it would not have been successful without a great host. Whatever your idea, no matter how great or how stupid, commitment and due diligence pay off.
Ellen DeGeneres
As the host of the immensely successful talk show, The Ellen Show, Ellen DeGeneres has told millions of people, on a daily basis, to be kind. She's also used her platform to support families in need and bring recognition to people who wouldn't otherwise receive it. She's donated countless amounts of money, aided Feeding America, The Gentle Barn, and other humanitarian efforts. When DeGeneres dances into a room, she does it as herself, utterly and completely, with the best of intentions.
Massimo Bottura
Massimo Bottura is an Italian restaurateur. His restaurant, Osteria Francescana has been named among the best restaurants in the world for the last 10 years. After his restaurant was named the best in the world in 2016, he started opening community kitchens ("refettorios") serving creative, three-course meals to the hungry and homeless. He did this with leftovers and convinced others to do the same with food that otherwise would have gone to waste. This is when he began to form the cultural food foundation Food for Soul with his wife, Lara Gilmore. The foundation has grown beyond community kitchens, becoming a non-profit organization aimed at showing us the value of food and the people who eat it. What's more inspiring than a foodie hungry to change the world?
Bill and Melinda Gates
Everyone knows Bill Gates as the founder of Microsoft and one of the richest people in the world. But what's most notable about Gates is what he and his wife Melinda have done at the top. The two titans founded the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the largest private foundation in the world. The foundation is geared toward reducing poverty, enhancing health, and expanding educational opportunities around the world. The foundation is an extension of the sentiment surrounding the Giving Pledge campaign Gates launched with Warren Buffet in 2010: billionaires should give at least 50 percent of their wealth to charitable causes. The Gates family has pledged that when they are done, 95 percent of their wealth will have been given to their foundation. Bill and Melinda are a part of this world; when they talk, people listen. Their story is a reminder that when you get to the top, you should do something that extends beyond your own success.
Andy Frisella
Andy Frisella is one of those influencers who will light a fire under your ass. He's the owner of Supplement Superstores, Paradise Distribution, and the fitness brand 1st Phorm international. His podcast The MFCEO Project features him talking about all of the things he has endured on the path to success. He talks to other fitness freaks, entrepreneurs, and other lionhearted people. Whether or not your goals this year include fitness is irrelevant. Drive and tenacity apply to every facet of life. In a very direct way, Frisella will tell you to stop whining and go get it. Follow him on social media for daily inspiration.
Lewis Howes
The former professional football player and two-sport all-American is a social media sensation, entrepreneur, and two-time New York Times bestselling author. Howes runs one of the best podcasts in the world aimed at teaching (The School of Greatness). He interviews people like Tony Robbins and Sara Blakely. He shares inspiring content daily as well as great advice on social media. He's one of those guys who is surprisingly candid about the things he has been through because he recognizes the importance of community. Overcoming adversity is easier when you realize you are not alone.
Greta Thunberg
When Greta Thunberg was 8 years old, she first heard about climate change. She then convinced her parents to lower their family's carbon footprint, start recycling, and become vegan. That was the beginning of her journey. She has fought in her home country of Sweden for a pollution-free future and warned against environmental degradation and climate change. She has inspired students and adults alike across the world to try and make a difference, becoming one of the most well-known people in the world.
Greta Thunberg is now 17 years old. She has Asperger's. Neither of those things has limited her at all. Thunberg has called her diagnosis of Asperger's her "superpower." With a meticulous understanding of reality, laser-focused determination, and the loudest voice anyone has heard since civil rights leaders of the '60s, it just might be. Unlike a lot of us, when Thunberg feels that something is important, she's not going to look away or give up. Her mission is what matters and that's it.
Gary Vaynerchuk
Gary Vaynerchuck is a serial entrepreneur and easily one of the most motivating guys online today. As the chairman of VaynerX and CEO of VaynerMedia, he basically foresaw the influx of social media influencers. Not only was he the first one to the party, he hosted the party. He's invested in everything from Facebook and Twitter to Venmo and Uber. He's one of the most-followed individuals on LinkedIn (bested only by people like Melinda Gates) and offers marketing tips to everyone and anyone. His main tip is this: whatever you are good at, do it all the time and then post about it online, all the time (that's what he did with his family's wine business). Vaynerchuck has no sympathy for those who are left behind (unless they want to be). It's not that complicated: master your craft, recognize trends, and capitalize.
The Captains of the U.S. Women's National Team
U.S. soccer women's national team co-captains Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd, and Megan Rapinoe took home a combined $1,725,000 when they won the 2015 Women's World Cup; the U.S. men's national team brought home twice that much when they lost in round 16 of their 2014 World Cup. In 2019, the women's team sued their employer for gender discrimination. In July, they beat the Netherlands in the World Cup final, becoming the first team in history to win four Women's World Cup finals. Know your worth.
David Goggins
This guy is motivated. He lost 106 pounds in three months before becoming a Navy SEAL. After his career in the Navy, he heard about ultramarathons, which are 100 miles long. Having never attempted this type of competition before, Goggins nearly broke his body just to qualify. He's failed again and again. He never stops. The only way to truly absorb the type of inspiration that Goggins can dish out is to follow him on Instagram, read his book Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds or check out his episode of The Joe Rogan Experience (you'll be hooked). At the core of Goggins' story is the singular goal of "callusing your mind." You control your reality.
Marie Forleo
Oprah Winfrey has called Marie Forleo "a thought leader for the next generation." She is a life coach, motivational speaker, author, web television host and CEO of Marie TV. She offers her followers and viewers daily doses of inspiration considered to be some of the best online—Forbes listed her website in their "Top 100 Websites for Entrepreneurs." It's nearly impossible to walk away from anything Forleo produces feeling even an ounce of negativity. Her brand is to be herself and she advises you to do the same. Personalize everything and never quit.
Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan does a lot of things; he's a successful comedian, actor (kind of), martial artist, and mixed martial artist commentator...oh, and he has arguably the best podcast in the world (The Joe Rogan Experience). Why? Because he dissects ideas. He has great conversations with great guests. From Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson to Bill Burr and Kevin Hart, Rogan can talk to anyone about anything. The dude loves knowledge and understands what it means to hold yourself accountable for the things you decide to do with your day.
Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey used to be the romantic comedy guy; he was a rich, A-list celebrity, playing what he has called "Saturday characters." He enjoyed his life. What he wasn't necessarily proud of was the trajectory of his career—it wasn't dangerous or exciting. So he stopped taking the easy money and chose riskier projects (when they did start to come). That was how the McConaissance came to be, including roles like the ones in The Lincoln Lawyer, Dallas Buyers Club, Mud, and True Detective. He's now one of the greatest actors in the world, a professor at the University of Texas, and the founder of the Just Keep Livin foundation—a nonprofit committed to the heath and well-being of our youth. "Hook 'em."
Lulu Wang
Lulu Wang nearly abandoned filmmaking to work in radio before The Farewell (which is one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2019). Public radio paid more and allowed for more creative freedom. In 2016, she wrote and narrated a story for This American Life called "In Defense of Ignorance," which focused on her family's decision to hide a cancer diagnosis. Forty-eight hours after the story aired, Lulu Wang received a call from producers wanting to make the movie. She told them that she would only make the film if she could do it the same way she had for This American Life. The Farewell was made because she was prepared to walk away rather than compromise the integrity of her story.
Luchita Hurtado
At 99 years of age, artist Luchita Hurtado has finally arrived. Hurtado worked as a painter for nearly 80 years but it wasn't until last year, at the Serpentine Galleries, that she displayed the first retrospective of her work. Having dabbled in many of the artistic movements, Hurtado is a respected artist; however, her artistic ventures have mostly been displayed in private. Her paintings often depict the human body as part of its environment, stressing the importance of universal connectivity, not just with each other but with the world we live in. This type of art is more relevant than ever and so is Hurtado. Like all of the people on this list that have preceded her, she's earnest and in love with what she does. So whenever you feel deterred or dejected, remember Luchita Hurtado—you have time and it's never too late.

Staying on the right side of unfair dismissal law, as a small business employer: the Small Business Fair Dismissal Code.
The Small Business Fair Dismissal Code (you're considered a small business if you have fewer than 15 employees overall) can help you to understand what your responsibilities are when it comes to dismissing staff.
It is important to follow the correct procedure if you want to let a worker go. Not just to avoid a costly and stressful unfair dismissal claim, but also so you can rest assured you're treating your staff fairly.
All employees of private businesses in NSW and the ACT are covered under the Fair Work Act. Some NSW employees (for example local council workers) are covered by NSW-specific legislation.
While an employee can be dismissed without notice (summary dismissal) if you (the employer) have reasonable grounds to believe that there has been "serious misconduct" (including obviously inappropriate, dangerous and/or harmful behaviour, such as theft, fraud, assault, being intoxicated at work, serious breaches of occupational health and safety procedures, and behaviour that may be harmful to the business' reputation), they can still bring an unfair dismissal claim, if they have evidence the decision was harsh, unjust or unreasonable.
Without serious misconduct, an employee must be given a written warning with a valid reason (based on their conduct or job performance) as to why they are at risk of dismissal, along with a reasonable opportunity to respond to and rectify the problem.
Obviously, an employee cannot be dismissed on the basis of protected attributes, such as: race, religion, gender, pregnancy or carer's responsibilities.
If an employee brings about an unfair dismissal claim, you will be required to provide evidence of compliance with the Small Business Fair Dismissal Code (such as a completed checklist, copies of written warnings, a statement of termination, or signed witness statements). Having a good reason for dismissal, may not be enough on its own.
If you're unsure about anything relating to fair dismissal, contact us for advice. It's better to be safe than the sorry defendant of a time-consuming and costly legal dispute later!

Warrnambool trainer Jarrod McLean has lost his application to the Court Of Appeal to block Racing Victoria from using police evidence against him.
RV stewards will now be able to pursue several charges against McLean — who also served as disqualified trainer Darren Weir's assistant — over the alleged possession and use of performance-enhancing EPO.
McLean has 28 days in which to apply for special leave to appeal to the High Court.
RV have charged McLean with administration of a prohibited substance to affect race performance, possession of a prohibited substance, corruption, dishonest, misleading behaviour and conduct prejudicial to racing.
The processing of those charges hinged on the Group 1-winning trainer's appeal against Supreme Court judge Melinda Richards' original ruling that police had acted lawfully.
On Thursday, Judges Tate, McLeish and Niall upheld Justice Richards' decision.
"We reject the applicant's central submission that information obtained as a result of the execution of a search warrant under section 465 can only be used in the investigation and prosecution of a crime," the Court of Appeal found.
"We also consider that the judge was correct to conclude that the disclosure was authorised under the Privacy Act and the applicant has no entitlement to relief."
Facing a potential life ban, McLean had applied to overturn a ruling which allowed Victoria Police to share evidence seized in a January 30 raid on his property near Warrnambool with stewards.
Cop 'saw horses being tortured' at Weir stables: court
Among the material seized were syringes containing performance-enhancing EPO.
The RV charges laid are unrelated to criminal charges involving alleged animal cruelty and corruption McLean is facing in the Magistrates' Court.
McLean lodged the appeal in the Court Of Appeal after Justice Richards last year ruled materials gathered by Victoria Police could be used by stewards.
Police seized six syringes at McLean's Yangery home.
RV alleges McLean administered EPO to Perth Cup winner and former jumper Cats Fun between August 2009 and August 2014. Traces of the horse's blood were allegedly found on the syringes McLean kept in his bedroom.
Two syringes were analysed and Cats Fun's blood was found on the needle of one. The other four syringes weren't tested. Cats Fun never tested positive to EPO in a raceday test.
The six syringes, labelled "Eprex 10,000", were found in McLean's bedroom drawer, bound with a yellow rubber band.
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a substance that boosts the amount of oxygen that can be absorbed by blood and can enhance aerobic capacity and staying power in a thoroughbred.
McLean has been indefinitely stood down from training after failing to answer questions at a stewards' inquiry relating to criminal charges of animal cruelty.
Justice Richards dismissed his injunction application, saying there was no basis to stop RV from using that information to lay doping charges.
Cats Fun was trained by McLean between 2009-2013 before shifting to disqualified trainer Darren Weir in 2014, then back to McLean for the last two races of his career.
The Ballarat Magistrates Court heard two days of evidence this week in a committal hearing involving McLean, Weir, Tyson Kermond and William Hernan.
The matter will return to court on October 8.
Weir is serving a four-year ban after pleading no contest to possessing jiggers and conduct prejudicial to racing.

Losing a loved one is difficult. We take care of the legal details.
The loss of a loved one is an emotionally devastating, stressful time filled with fear of the unknown. How will you carry on without the person who passed away? How will your family cope with the loss? What will happen to your home and financial well-being? In short, what does the future hold, and what should you do right now? When you add to all of this the need to make important financial decisions about the loved one's estate, the whole situation can seem overwhelming.
As if accomplishing all of this in a short period of time wasn't hard enough, some successions can become considerably more complicated. Factors that can make for complex successions include the value of the property, the type of property, whether family members or other parties are contesting the succession, the decedent's debts, and many more. It may also be necessary to open a succession quickly to pay urgent debts of the decedent, such as medical bills, funeral bills, a mortgage, or to obtain access to a safety deposit box that the decedent has rented.
At Wealth Planning Law Group, we help families navigate the succession process as efficiently and compassionately as possible. Our attorneys understand what you are going through and can manage every detail, no matter how complex your particular succession may be. Contact us as soon as possible for an initial consultation so you and your family to focus on what is most important.
Disputes may arise. We resolve conflicts.
Unfortunately, disputes over estate do arise. Sometimes outside parties try to get a piece of the family estate for themselves. Other times, family members disagree about how the assets should have been distributed and challenge the succession. These disputes often turn ugly. They not only tear a family apart, but also can have devastating financial consequences.
At Wealth Planning Law Group, our New Orleans Probate lawyers have years of experience helping families in will and succession contests. We strive to work with family members to resolve conflicts quickly and efficiently, and offer a fixed fee for our services. In situations where the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, we are ready, willing and eminently capable of taking the matter to trial on your behalf. As you would expect, in situations involving litigation, we are unable to work on a fixed fee basis.
If you are involved in a will and succession dispute, contact us as soon as possible for assistance in resolving it to your satisfaction.

One element that seems to run throughout Martin's forty years of work is the physical and psychological mechanics of the body/mind. Whether spirited in animals or manifested through abstraction, they are about ourselves: our neurosis, the dreams we hope for, how we eat... Ultimately though, they reveal our resistance to escape the gravitational pull of stillness - the inevitable conclusion to life.
Martin's changemaker is the "Enterprise Engineer," who is an expert on what changes work in organizations. Enterprise Engineers need training to understand the mechanisms underlying corporate processes and an in-depth expertise in the family of change methods.
