Estate planning can be a very confusing process. In our experience as estate planning attorneys, we have found that many people ask questions like “How does it work?” or “What can I expect?” When it comes to the planning process, each Davidson Law estate attorney follows what we call “The Three P’s of Estate Planning.” These are people, property, and plans.
When it comes to Estate Planning, one of the first things an estate attorney asks you to consider is the important people in your life for whom you want to help secure a future. These important people can include loved ones such as your spouse, your children, your parents, your siblings, any other relatives, or your friends. Additionally, important “people” can also include charities, universities, organizations, or churches to which you are committed. You may even have a special pet that you want to provide for in the event of your absence. Make a list of these “important people” with notes about their relationship to you. You are now well on your way to creating an Estate Plan!
– Do I own my assets individually?
– Do I own my assets jointly?
– Do I have a special arrangement like a trust for my assets?
Once you have figured out the important people in your life and have identified your assets, you can then begin the last part of the estate planning process – making a plan for these people and your property in the event of your death or incapacity. To start this process, you need to ask yourself several important questions that are vital to your future, your loved ones’ futures, and the transfer and protection of your property.
Who would you want to make financial decisions for you if you could no longer make them? What about medical decisions? Who would you want to have custody of your minor children in your absence? How would you divide your estate among your heirs?
Do you have an answer for the hard questions?
Do you want to make sure that your loved ones do not have to deal with the expense and hassle of Probate? Do you want to avoid as many taxes as possible? Do you want to give any money to a charity or organization? Do you have a special needs individual in your family who needs special care that your Estate could provide? Are there some people whom you want to receive an inheritance but are not yet mature enough to receive it? Are there any people whom you do not want to receive an inheritance no matter what?
Estate Planning is more than just assembling documents.
We hope these questions can help you start the process of creating a comprehensive Estate Plan.
If you have questions about the three P’s of estate planning or want to know more about the process, contact an estate attorney at the Davidson Law Group. We would be glad to answer any questions you have about our process and Estate Planning.

I like to keep my Black and White workflow as simple as possible and have refined my systems and processes over the last ten years. I use Lightroom CC and Silver Efex Pro 2 for all my black and white images. I shoot most of the time in RAW but this process is just as effective with Jpegs, you just have less latitude with the Jpeg file. SEP2 is part of the Google Nik Collection and was made free to everyone last year.
My workflow is simple and after a day out shooting I pop my memory card in to my MacBook Pro and copy the images in to Lr CC this is where I view the images and make my selections. I might shoot 40-60 images in a session or more but I normally only end up with 3-5 keepers if that. Once I have made my selections I then open each image in turn in SEP2 for conversion to black and white. After a few small slider movements I import the image back in to Lr for some final editing and then star rating this whole process takes less than 3-6 min per image.
I view each image on my 27” Eizo Monitor, the monitor is calibrated regularly even though this is a black and white process I need to see every tone between the black end of the spectrum and the white end. If you don’t have a calibrated monitor or an old monitor its best to buy a new up to date LED type monitor as these are great out of the box. You can download a test card from the internet to check your screen, if you can’t see every band in the chart you need to calibrate of upgrade your monitor.
I will take you through my very simple workflow from start to finish with this image taken of Glenfinnan Scotland, this is the RAW file out of camera converted to Jpeg.
First I import my images in to Lr and once in Lr I then view all my images and the images I want to keep I give a one * I do this in the Library module. Once I have made my keeper selection I then highlight and delete the rest of the images leaving my keepers and these are all the ones with the one* sometimes at this point I will remove a couple of the one* images if I think the others are stronger. At times, I have deleted the whole lot.
Once selected I will then import the first keeper in to SEP2 this is a simple right click open in SEP2.
Once the image opens in SEP2, I do not touch the left-hand side of the program as this is mostly pre-sets and there is no point in opening a pre-set because I will then have to spend the next 10-20 min trying to get the image back to the way I want it from the pre-set. I only ever use the sliders and the controls on the right-hand side of SEP2 and only use the main sliders and not open them up for fine control. The main sliders I use are Brightness Contrast and Structure and I make changes by eye to every single image I open. I start at the top and work down the sliders. I normally brighten most images by about 20% then contrast about 20% and then apply quite a lot of Structure to make the images pop about 60% but this is all by eye and not an exact science. On the Glenfinnan, I am going to go Brightness 22 Contrast 22 and Structure 66.
If I need to just make controlled adjustments I use the control points so as not to cause over processing of artefacts in the complete image. This is mainly with people’s faces or complicated backgrounds with out of focus areas. I don’t need to do that in this image, I am happy with the way the image looks so I then import the image back in to Lr.
Once in Lr I switch to the development module.
I again start at the top right of the sliders and work my way down sometimes a few tweaks and at others hardly anything at all, therefore I don’t use pre-sets in Lr as I would spend most of my time correcting the changes the pre-sets make.
I always keep an eye on the Histogram for clipped highlights as these look harsh in digital images and even worse printed. I ignore the clipped blacks as these looks great when printed and I do like quite dark blacks in my images.
The first thing I do to this image in Lr is add a graduated filter to the sky and use the exposure control to darken the Sky by one stop. I then use the shadows slider to just pull back the shadows from the mountains. I then make a second graduated selection and darken the top of the sky to about half a stop.
I then work my way down the sliders Contrast +24 Shadows +18 Blacks -31 Clarity +31 and finish off with a post-crop Vignette of about -7 I would also use the adjustment brush to lighten the snow areas and darken any areas using the exposure slider. This is about the same way you would dodge and burn in the Dark Room. This is all to personal taste, I prefer my whites to be white in an image so do tend to burn in the white but without over exposing them.
I would then rate my image for personal use between 3* and 5* if I felt at this stage the image was 2* or 1* I would delete it.
The image looks quite dark in WordPress but looks great printed or on my Eizo, I hope to run a Black and White editing workshop for Fujiholics later in the year so please keep an eye open on the Fujiholics website.

The Ancient One, also known as Kennewick Man, was reburied early Saturday in the high desert of the Columbia Plateau, ending 20 years of legal battles and scientific study.
In the high desert of the Columbia Plateau, more than 200 people gathered early Saturday to lay the Ancient One to rest, returning his 9,000-year-old remains to an undisclosed location not far from the Columbia River.
There was a feeling of finality and catharsis for those who had fought for 20 years to reclaim and repatriate the remains of an ancient ancestor who came to be called Kennewick Man, said Chuck Sams, communications director for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
There was also sadness in remembering those who didn’t live to see the Ancient One’s reburial, but also a sense of accomplishment in seeing him returned after two decades of court battles and scientific studies, Sams said.
Scientists who had argued that Kennewick Man was not an ancestor of the Columbia Plateau tribes were proved wrong, and the return of the Ancient One’s remains “validated what we said all along — Kennewick Man had been one of our own,” he said.
Sams was present on Friday at Seattle’s Burke Museum when the state’s historic-preservation officer met with historic-preservation officers from the Umatilla, Yakama Nation, Nez Perce Tribe, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation and the Wanapum Band of Indians to go over the inventory of bones and dozens of vials containing DNA samples.
Also returned to the tribes was a projectile point that had penetrated the Ancient One’s right hip, he said.
The tribes’ religious leaders then bundled the items together and began a caravan east, staying overnight in Richland before meeting up at the burial site on Saturday with other tribal members and non-Indian staff members, said Sams. The morning was overcast and chilly but the rain held off, he said.
The five tribes practice the Washat religion, so their burial ceremony isn’t the same as burial rites practiced 9,000 years ago. “But the songs we sing are very close and have been sung throughout the Columbia Plateau for thousands of years,” said Sams.
“A wrong had finally been righted,” he said of the Ancient One’s return, though he noted there are more than 100,000 sets of Native American remains in both private and public collections across the country.
Unearthed from the banks of the Columbia River in 1996, the bones comprise one of the oldest and most complete human skeletons ever discovered in North America. The find set off a bitter legal battle between scientists who wanted to study the remains and local tribes who wanted them reinterred.
While tribes thought the issue would be quickly resolved under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, scientists won in court and conducted several rounds of analysis on the bones. Later DNA tests confirmed the remains were most closely related to modern Native Americans.
Under legislation signed by former President Barack Obama in December, the remains were transferred from the federal government to the tribes.

I have never been in this part of Europe so it was a good opportunity to vitis this area.
I'm here for 5 months. Erasmus grant is 450€ per month. It is definitely too little because it is difficult to find single room cheaper than 400€.
Student lifestyle is amazing. These are so many events, trips and parties for international students.
The most popular are fish dishes, but it is easly to find basically everything.
I have found my accommodation by facebook without any additional fees.
The most expensive are accommodation and public transport. I think it is impossible to live here through 5 months with only an erasmus grant.
For me portuguese language is very difficult. The University give possibility to take part in portuguese language course but not for free.
The easiest and the cheapest way is airplane.
Bairro alto and Erasmus corner if you want just meet with friends and drink a beer. If you want to go to a party I recommend Urban Beach Club.
Santa Rita - very good dishes and not so expensive.
Portuguese people are very kindly and always help you if you have a problem.
Searching a flat is very difficult. If you want to find something in good condition and not so expensive do not wait for the last bell.

Indulge me for a moment and imagine yourself visiting your primary care physician for your annual check-up. You expect the usual report from your doctor. “Everything looks fine! See you back next year.” You expect your blood-work to come back normal and your doctor to give you a clean bill of health. However, this time she tells you that she needs you to see a cardiologist because she sees something on your EKG that she doesn’t like. She mentions words like “blockages” and “bypass surgery”. Naturally, you immediately get in to see the cardiologist as quickly as possible—your primary care doctor’s receptionist, in fact, makes the appointment for you for that day.
Now, think of this… did it cross your mind to ask your primary care doctor to treat your heart problem herself? Would you feel more comfortable with someone who treats cardiac issues all day long, every day, and has additional training in this specialized area of medicine? Of course! You wouldn’t expect your primary care physician to perform surgery, or attempt to treat cancer. The same way, Dustin and I consider ourselves primary dental care providers. We “specialize” in restorative dentistry, in other words, fixing teeth. One of our core values is that our practice is specialized. We offer the best care available within our scope of practice, and when our patients require something outside of that realm, we work with wonderful specialists who have additional training in that area, and limit their practice just that aspect of dentistry. Practicing in this manner assures that we get our patients the best that dentistry has to offer, and it allows us to focus our efforts on honing our skills in our own area of specialization.
We recently had the opportunity to attend a continuing education course where one of the speakers talked about branding. She encouraged us to narrow our focus, and to communicate who we are specifically, knowing that we can’t appeal to every single person in our community. She used the analogy of a restaurant she had passed by on the streets of San Francisco. The restaurant’s menu offered all types of cuisine – Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Italian and American. Now, I don’t know about you, but in a city like San Francisco, where you have some of the best restaurants in the world, I wouldn’t want to take my chances on a place like that. Could the cheeseburger be ok? Yeah. But will the Caprese salad be made with locally grown tomatoes and basil, and fresh mozzarella made from pasture-raised cow’s milk? Probably not.
One of our jobs as general dentists is to treat every patient as comprehensively as that patient desires and deserves with the greatest resources available. In a community like Baton Rouge, we are fortunate enough to have fantastic specialists in all disciplines of dentistry. We have chosen to limit our practice to what we are the best at, and to make sure our patients get the best available for what we feel is outside of the procedures we do every day.
Another one of our core values is The Golden Rule – treat our patients that way we would want to be treated. If I ever find myself or a member of my family in need of an implant, or a root canal, I know that I want them to be treated by the best specialist available. I want my patients to have that same experience. It may involve visiting another office and meeting another dentist, but time and time again, our outcomes are better when we practice this way.

One of the best things about Christmas is when you finally decorate the Christmas tree. But when 21-year-old Alex Bermingham from Ireland wanted to help her grandmother to decorate the Christmas tree for this year, she realized that the 74-year-old granny had bought something completely different from Christmas decorations.
Alex started hanging up the purple balls on the tree when she saw that they could actually be opened.
The grandmother did not realize, but inside of the “Christmas presents”, in fact, sparkly lingerie was hidden.
The grandmother became terrified when she realized what the Christmas balls really were, but Alex could not help laughing at the situation.
“She had no idea what was in them then, but was drawn to them because her favorite color is lavender”, Alex tells Metro.
The purple thong has no place to be hanged on the Christmas tree, but we have to agree with Alex that the mistake of the grandmother was at least very fun.

Former NFL defensive back Will Allen was given six years in prison for his role in a Ponzi scheme, a much harsher sentence than courtroom observers expected.
Brian Amaral, a reporter for Law360, said Allen got twice the average sentence for fraud. Former banker Susan Daub also got six years, according to Law360. Both pleaded guilty last year.
Allen, a cornerback, played 140 NFL games with the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins from 2001-11. He was the Giants' first-round pick in 2001. Allen (not to be confused with fellow former NFL defensive back Will Allen, who played mostly for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh Steelers from 2004-16) was charged with fraud in 2015. In this Ponzi scheme, Allen and Daub convinced investors to fund loans to professional athletes, but the loans were bogus or oversubscribed and they used the money for personal expenses and other business ventures, Law360 said.
Amaral said some in the courtroom were stunned at the sentences of six years in prison, and he reported that even the U.S. attorney's office seemed surprised. The scheme cost investors about $17 million, Law360 said.
"This was a huge fraud," U.S. District Judge William Young said, according to Law360.

The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has expressed satisfaction over the extension of an olive branch by the re-elected Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, to all well-meaning leaders of all affiliations in the State for the development, progress and peace of Rivers State.
MOSOP in a statement made available to theportcitynews said it is deeply appreciative of the gesture and plea for reconciliation and forgiveness by the governor. It also urged all Rivers People to embrace the call for the good of Rivers State and her peoples.
According to the statement, “We also appeal to all Rivers people to accept the wind of reconciliation that is being blown by the governor and work together towards its actualization.
“Indeed, Rivers State has for long been on tenterhooks, making us all become a laughing stock in the comity of States in the country, all for the negative reasons.
“This call by the Governor is indeed redeeming and refreshing and is a needed tonic for brotherhood, peace and good neighbourliness.
“MOSOP, therefore, charges the Governor to match this call for reconciliation and forgiveness with clear and demonstrable actions by reaching out particularly to all leaders of political parties, groups, individuals and communities, who have been aggrieved in course of his governance and actions taken. One way the governor can demonstrate this is to ensure that a rainbow coalition of members is put in place in the constitution of a new cabinet in the State and immediately put in place machinery for addressing the situation of insecurity in communities currently ravaged by cult wars and other forms of violence.
“We believe that economic and social life will bounce back fully, people will be happy, and the State will become a centre of attraction to local and international tourists and development entrepreneurs as well as investors.
“On our part, we would remain committed to and supportive of any institutional, government or individual efforts aimed at giving our people sense of belonging and the masses pride of place,” it said.

Intel and Fossil Group announced a partnership in September 2014, and now we're seeing the fruits of that as tangible product at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2015. Yep, Fossil will release its first fashion smartwatch, an as-yet-unnamed Android Wear device, to market in October 2015.
That's not the only product due either. A connected bracelet and a connected watch (not an Android Wear device, it seems) will make-up a trio of devices, as shown on stage at the forum by Greg McKelvey, Fossil Group's Executive Vice President.
The most interesting of the bunch, of course, is the Fossil fashion smartwatch running Android Wear. Which looks suspiciously like a silver-finish version of the Moto 360 smartwatch, including not-so-pretty "black bar" to the base of its watch face.
Seems the companies' promise to "identify, support and develop emerging trends" in the wearable technology space is coming to life, but perhaps too literally. We were hoping for something a little less familiar than the competition; a true standout smartwatch to set itself apart from the likes of Motorola and LG.
No word on how much the Fossil smart devices will cost, but we’ll be trawling the show floor at IDF 2015 to see if we can hunt down these forthcoming fashion items.

Yesterday was the first day of fall and I wasn't going to get excited or anything until I walked outside and there.was.a.BREEZE. A real, cool, dare I say chilly breeze. Can we just ignore the middle part of the day that lapsed back into summer? Because the evening was cool and perfect as well and let's be honest, breezes are a clear sign of fall. And fall = pumpkins. And pumpkin = all the baking things.
can this girl spell? Doesn't she know it's cocOA, not cocAO powder?
I'm eating a superfood muffin this morning.
Now don't you feel better about the day already?
Not that you had to convince yourself that pumpkin and chocolate were a good idea.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients and whisk together.
In a stand mixer* with the flat beater attachment, add eggs, coconut oil and vanilla and mix on medium speed until completely combined. Turn mixer off and add pumpkin purée. Turn back on to medium and blend until smooth.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet a little at a time.
Use a rubber spatula to push down any ingredients that lifted on the sides of the bowl. Mix on low speed until smooth.
Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and using a 1/3 measuring cup fill the tins with batter.
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the muffin. If it comes out clean, it's done!
*you can also use a hand mixer or whisk if you don't have a stand mixer.
In the spirit of loving food I am teaming up with some lovely ladies and giving away 2 cookbooks and a copy of a recent favorite book, Notes from a Blue Bike by Tsh Oxenrieder. I'll admit, I'm drooling over these two cookbooks myself. They have the most beautiful stories to accompany their show stopping recipes!
The winner will be announced this Friday so stay tuned and play fair! All entries will be verified. Have fun!!

Onlive a well known name in cloud gaming service has scrapped their monthly fees plan that they take from gamers. A new two-tiered bussiness model has been adopted by OnLive which will now give gamers a more simpler and accessible services.
Steve Perlim CEO said, "The key thing for us is keeping it free simplifies our pricing structure so it is entirely based on games rather than on access, It gives us much more flexibility and it is easier to understand than a two-tiered structure. And, now we know the business model works,"
He further added that "We actually got the first indication that the business could be supported without a monthly fee when we let beta testers start purchasing games before we launched the service,"
"So, to hedge our bet, we established our Founding Member promotion to defer the monthly fee for a year for everyone. Well, after getting to scale, we found that what we had suspected was true: that the business model works without a monthly fee. This allows us to continue without a monthly fee on an ongoing basis." added Perlman.

Does Marriage Lower Blood Pressure?
Researchers at Harvard Medical School looked at 325 adults who were followed over two years and monitored their blood pressure throughout the day. The participants in the study were assigned to follow strict diets and wear devices that monitored their BP. What the researchers found was that blood pressure typically rises during the day and falls at night, by about 10% or more in systolic pressure--the top number in a blood pressure reading. What the researchers found was that people who were married--especially men--were much more likely to experience this nighttime dip than those who were not married. This held true even after the researchers took into account factors like socioeconomic status, age, diet and body mass index. The researchers speculate on why this may be in this New York Times article, but aren't sure. The research is published in The Journal of Hypertension.
This isn't the first time we've seen something like this. Back in 2008 (the page didn't port well to the redesign, but the info is there) we blogged about research where long-term couples were hooked up to EKG machines, which showed their heart beats synced! So we know the heart literally can respond to the presence of your loved one.

Queenstowners will walk from darkness to daylight as part of a global fight against suicide and self-harm.
The ‘Darkness Into Light’ event, organised by locals Anne Marie Campbell and Daniel Sweeney, will be held on May 11.
Walkers will start off from Lake Hayes Pavilion at 6.30am, walking a 2.5km section of the Lake Hayes track and back again. LED candles will light the path along the track.
The idea is that the walk symbolises the mental health journey, Campbell says.
Campbell says there appears to be a growing need for mental health support in the Queenstown area, which she says was highlighted in the council’s recent quality of life survey.
“There’s been a lot coming out in the past year or two about mental health in Queenstown, and New Zealand in general,” she says.
The global ‘Darkness Into Light’ initiative started in Dublin in 2009, with 400 people taking part. By 2018 that had grown to more than 200,000 people across 16 countries.
It’s the first time the event will be held in Queenstown, and they’re hoping to grow it each year.
This time around, they’re capping numbers at 200.
Early-bird tickets are on sale from the ‘Darkness Into Light’ website until Sunday, adults $34, seniors 65+ $26, children $9.

Using a new algorithm, engineers from Stanford University have developed a prism-like device that can split a beam of light into different colors and bend the light at right angles, a development that could eventually lead to computers that use optics, rather than electricity, to carry data.
Both 1300-nanometer light and 1550-nanometer light, corresponding to C-band and O-band wavelengths widely used in fiber optic networks, were beamed at the device from above. The bar code-like structure redirected C-band light one way and O-band light the other, right on the chip.

Call him a nerd, a spaz, an anxious outcast — there is a bit of Evan Hansen in all of us, especially those who may have struggled to find our tribe in high school hell and beyond. Dear Evan Hansen, which opened at the Music Box Theatre last night, is a winning, insightful, and totally of-the-moment teen dramedy for the digital age.
If its Heathers meets Ordinary People vibes don’t always combine in perfect harmony, its humor and extreme heart are sure strike chords with viewers of all walks.
The title character, as embodied by a virtuosic Ben Platt, is almost impossible not to root for from the very start, and even as he gets caught up in an elaborate host of lies that become nearly impossible to escape.
Entering his senior year of high school with a broken arm (which he says he got falling from a tree), Evan is virtually friendless, on anti-anxiety meds, and being raised by a devoted single mom (Rachel Bay Jones) who’s often too busy juggling work and night school to be there for him.
When the circumstances of a tragedy at school lead a couple to believe their late son was Evan’s close friend, Evan plays into the story — both because he thinks it will help them mourn, and because he’s desperate for connection himself.
It doesn’t hurt that their daughter, Zoe (Laura Dreyfuss) is also Evan’s biggest crush. So he spins a web of fiction (which the internet makes easy, of course) and grows close with what seems like the picture-perfect family he never had (his dad left when Evan was young).
That’s only the beginning of the story (written by Steven Levenson), which spins out of control once it crosses over into online territory. Director Michael Greif, who joins the rest of the creative team and cast from the show’s off-Broadway run at Second Stage earlier this year, does expert work in familiar territory (2009’s Next to Normal shares this show’s focus on family and physiological drama). David Korins’s screen-panel set and Peter Nigrini’s digital projections recreate the digital language that surrounds us at every turn.
Platt, best known for his roles in Pitch Perfect and The Book of Mormon, brings a frenetic sensitivity to the role of Evan; every nervous tick or bout of word vomit feels painfully real — to the point that you may find yourself fighting the urge to climb on stage and give the kid a hug.
The eight-member company is uniformly strong, and Dreyfuss and Jones are particularly lovely as Evan’s reticent love interest and salt-of-the-earth mother.
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul’s score is lyrical and emotionally rich, with an emo-pop, singer-songwriter feel that’s perfectly matched with the story, and offers Platt in particular many moments to shine. If a similar message pervades more than a few numbers, it’s one that bears repeating for every listener, young and old — that no one is ever alone, no matter how lonely or hopeless they may feel.

Despite plenty of exasperating delays from contractors – the latest being leaking locks – the expanded Panama Canal will open for business in April as planned.
The nation’s foreign ministry is now sending out official invitations to some 70 heads of state for the opening ceremony. The new locks in place will allow ships of up to 14,000 teu to transit the waterway.
Originally planned to open in 2014, the $5.25bn expansion project has been hit by a number of cost overruns and delays. The latest scare happened in mid-August when a crack emerged on one of the new giant locks.

As Tier-1 and Tier-2 subcontractor for the automotive industry we manufacture and supply components ready for the customer’s production line. These components are either made from sheet metal using theprocesses deep drawing, pressing, punching or spinning.
Sheet metal components made using the spinning process provide the advantage of reduced raw material consumption as compared to other manufacturing processes such as casting and forging. Besides the direct cost effect of the reduced raw material input it also means a reduced weight of the component and thereby indirect cost savings in terms of reduced fuel consumption and compliance with emission standards.
Furthermore, the components made from spinning have better features in terms of imbalance as compared to other manufacturing processes, which means reduced wear on bearings and other components in the same assembly.
An example of automotive components we manufacture using spinning of sheet metal is poly-v grooved pulleys for engine applications. Another example is vibration damper casing either with or without poly-v grooves. Using the spinning process even very complex components with one or more poly-v drivescan be manufactured.
By combining deep drawing and welding we manufacture complex components which are used in exhaust systems and are vital components in assemblies to meet today’s emission standards.
Our components are also used to in connection with different engine applications. The engine room of today’s automotive products is very compact and filled with different applications and this means that components often have very complex shapes and design to meet the requirements. Pressed bends in very complex shapes and angles made from deep drawing half shells which are welded together find good usage. Furthermore when the requirement is for a connection from round shape to square shape is deep drawing components an advantageous solution.
Using the punching process in transfer or progressive tooling we supply different components for the automotive industry. Our components find use in brake systems, engine applications, exhaust systems, vibration damping etc.
Deep drawing components also find use as housings for controlling airflow in brake systems.

The organic plant materials I am using to create herbal salves and oils are grown in our gardens and wild-crafted from their natural environment in the forests and fields of Trinity County.
Cultivating -Calendula flowers (Calendula officinalis) like to grow between rows of vegetables and are valuable companion plants to keep bugs at bay. Calendula oil is an emollient known for soothing and healing dry, rough, inflamed skin. I use it as the base of Happy Foot Balm.
Comfrey (Symphytum officinale) leaves and stalks from my garden are sun-infused in organic olive oil for several weeks to release the healing properties of allentoin, a substance known to regenerate healthy cell growth.
Plantain (Plantago major), growing wild throughout my garden, is considered by many a common weed. This plant has powerful healing properties and is used for insect bites, cuts, wounds, and inflammation. The oil of plantain makes a wonderful skin lubricant and together with comfrey and calendula is the base for the Yoni Balm.
Wild crafting - During the midsummer heat, I collect St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) in the mountains. St. Johns Wort infuses oil with a deep ruby red and is a valuable anti-inflammatory preparation for wounds and traumatic brusing. Together with comfrey oil, these form the base of Bruise Brew Salve, Bruise Brew Oil as well as the Arthritis Relief.
One of my favorite things is "being" with the plants in their natural environment and feeling the peacefulness of the forest glens. I give thanks to the plant spirit and ask permission to bring its healing properties into my products. I pay careful attention to how I select, pick, and prune each plant to encourage healthy growth for years to come.

The proposed regulations announced on July 19 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) respond to the Trump Administration’s directive to improve the clarity and efficiency of existing regulatory programs.
“One thing we heard over and over again was that ESA implementation was not consistent and often times very confusing to navigate. We are proposing these improvements to produce the best conservation results for the species while reducing the regulatory burden on the American people,” said USFWS Principal Deputy Director Greg Sheehan.
Among the major issues at stake are: (1) concerns by landowners and other stakeholders that critical habitat designations often draw into federal regulation broad areas of land and water that have little or no current demonstrated value to the species, resulting in costly burdens without proportionate benefits to the species, and (2) that ESA section 7 consultations on federal agency actions (like permits) often evolve into broad evaluations of activities that extend beyond the regulatory jurisdiction and control of the agency, leading to lopsided project restrictions and uneconomic outcomes. In meetings with Acting Deputy Director Gould, FLA has urged the USFWS to ensure that when an area of land or water is designated as critical habitat, it is truly critical to the species at the time of designation. Concerns about theoretical future habitat need be held for future revisions to the designation, as contemplated by Congress in the statute.
The Blanket Rule applies all protections that endangered species receive to those species listed as threatened. Rescinding this rule will mean that the USFWS will craft species-specific 4(d) rules for each future threatened species, determining whether the heightened protection that endangered species receive are necessary and advisable for the conservation of the species. This change would not be retroactive but would apply to all species listed as threatened in the future.
Another proposed rule clarifies that decisions to delist a species are made using the same standard as decisions to list species. In both cases, that standard is whether a species meets the established ESA definition of an endangered species or threatened species. Contrary to the opinion of some courts, this rule clarifies there is not a higher standard for delisting a species than there is for listing a species. Once a species no longer meets the definition of threatened or endangered, it can be legally delisted.
Right now, “threatened species” are those at risk of becoming endangered in the “foreseeable future.” The agencies are clarifying what “foreseeable future” means, limiting the term so that it “extends only so far into the future as the [agencies] can reasonably determine” that the risk of extinction is probable.
The proposed rules revise the procedures for designating critical habitat by reinstating the requirement that federal agencies must first evaluate areas currently occupied by the species before considering unoccupied areas. Currently, an area can be considered important for recovery even when it is not occupied by the species in question. Under the new proposal, designation of unoccupied critical habitat will occur only when the occupied areas are inadequate to ensure the conservation of the species or if the inclusion of unoccupied areas would yield certain other specified benefits.
Under the ESA, other federal agencies consult with the USFWS and NOAA Fisheries to ensure their actions are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any listed species. The proposed rules clarify when this consultation process is required, with a goal of “to help timely decision making for infrastructure and economic development,” according to Sheehan.
The proposed rules will be published in the Federal Register and open to the public for comment. FLA will submit comments to the Federal Register on these proposed rules, following consultation with our members who are affected by the ESA. We will also publish the link to submit comments by landowners on the proposed rules.

His action was a hollow gesture, a replication of another’s idea. And so, in his case, the copy is not of the same value as the original.
Maybe James’ action is not actually hollow and has indeed revealed his existing tenderness. The irritation he now feels is due to the still problematic nature of his feelings, suddenly and annoyingly exposed.
Which explanation is it? I’m not entirely sure. I’m inclined to say it is both.
Either way, realizing the ways in which it can be used against him, we see James edging further away from his theory throughout the day, as Binoche, seeing how it can work for her, begins to see value in copies.
Perhaps a copy can be just as good, just as real as the original.
Like a new copy of an old relationship.

Can-Con 2017 is happening from October 13-15 this year — less than two weeks away! I first attended in 2015, and since I missed the convention last year, I’m super excited to be back as a panelist this year. Here’s a quick look at what panels I’ll be taking part in.
You got your Greek mythology in my space opera! No, *you* got *your* space opera in my Greek mythology! Mashups are like mixing peanut butter and chocolate together and realizing they’re awesome. Here’s the panel where we discuss the nerdy peanut butter cups of our dreams. All ideas generated in this room are free for anyone to use, just in time for NaNo!
From Nerdfighters to Dumbledore’s Army, science fiction and fantasy fans have been channeling their love for the genre into real life social change. This panel will explore how SFF literature enables readers to see themselves as heroines and heroes in their own narratives, and the role that authors play in crafting these stories.
Note: The times and dates listed above are based on the draft schedule and may change before the convention starts. Go to the convention’s panel page to see the full list of panels and the most up-to-date schedule.
The offerings at Can-Con 2017 look great, and the chance to try out the RPG system for attendees is particularly exciting. The RPG aspect was introduced last year, but it’s new to me.
I can’t wait to attend and see both friends and new faces. I may even be bringing along some tea samples for some lucky guests. If you’re coming, let me know, and if you want me to bring you some tea, definitely let me know so I can pack some samples for you.
In 2018, I want to focus more on interviewing authors and others involved in the Canadian SF scene and sharing those interviews on Books & Tea. That means that if you’re a Canadian author, publisher, bookseller, editor, or agent, I want to hear from you.
If you’re going to Can-Con 2017, I’m interested in talking to you about scheduling an interview and any launches or publications you may have coming up that I can help promote. Just look for me at the con, or send me a message now so we can connect later on.

Why should I spend more than 1 night in Copan?
People usually think of Copan Ruinas in terms of only the ruins. It is a small town, yes. The ruins here are renowned for being the “Paris of the Mayan World,” some of the most intricate carvings found in the Mayan world. We typically do not get a lot of press about much more than that. Few know about the other cool attractions we have here.
Macaw Mountain Bird Reserve - This spectacular park is an expanse of land and old growth forest along the river. The park is home to more than 53 species of macaws, owls, parrots, toucans, and other tropical birds. There is a breeding program for the most endangered species, an educational program for the community, a reintegration program to reintroduce the scarlet macaws to the river valley, not to mention a gorgeous Jungle Bistro overlooking the river, a coffee shop for their locally-produced Miramundo arabica coffee, and a gift shop featuring quality local artisan talent. The park is only a 5 minute mototaxi ride from town – 20 Lps ($1). $10 entrance fee. Good for 3 days.
Canopy Tour – This amazing course is 16 ziplines from mountaintop to mountaintop. The longest line is 1km and takes you 300 ft above the treeline for spectacular views of the Copan River valley and the Mayan ruins. $35, includes pickup and drop off.
Luna Jaguar Hot Springs - The one hour, scenic drive to the hot springs takes you through spectacular countryside with vibrant tropical flowers and the river valley. Once at the hot springs, you will explore the coolest (and hottest) spots in the 15 thermal pools property. Each pool is completely different. Spa entrance – $10 per person. Transport, tour and guide price varies.
Coffee Tours – There are several amazing coffee fincas around the Copan valley – Finca el Cisne, Welchez Coffee, and Miramundo Coffee. You can take a half day, full day, or overnight tour, depending on availability. Prices range from $20 per person to $77.
Massage – There is nothing more incredible than receiving a proper massage on a table in the jungle listening to the sounds of a river valley, or on a mountaintop listening to the breeze and the tropical birds. You can receive Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, or Reflexology. Price varies.
If you would like to stay in Copan Ruinas long term, there are housing and Spanish school options.
Now that flights are coming to Copan directly, traveling to Copan is less of a hassle from San Pedro Sula or Roatan. Contact us for more information on any of the above options.

Alzheimer’s may in some cases be as manageable as HIV/Aids by 2025, the head of Britain’s new Dementia Research Institute (DRI) predicts.
Speaking after the announcement of his appointment as director of the £250 million UK DRI, the world-renowned Belgian neuroscientist told the Press Association: “We won’t be celebrating in 2025 that dementia is cured, but I hope that by then there will be groups of patients who can be treated in much the same way HIV-Aids is treated today.
Prof De Strooper, who is putting together a multi-disciplinary team of doctors, biologists, engineers and data specialists working from centres across the UK, said he hoped to see “real surprises”.
He added: “I’m a scientist so I don’t look into crystal balls but I would put a lot of money on saying that the next generation will have a completely different view of dementia disorders.
“In just the same way Aids in the 1970s and 80s was seen as a terrible doom or punishment of the gods, but is now manageable and treatable. Cancer has gone through a similar process – the way we look at cancer today is quite different from what it was a generation ago.
In a key shift to previous approaches he intends to broaden research beyond the “amyloid hypothesis” on which so much work up until now has focused.
The hypothesis places clumps of sticky protein fragments in the brain known as beta-amyloid at the heart of Alzheimer’s.
Beta-amyloid “plaques” are recognised as a key hallmark of the disease, but precisely what their role is remains unclear.
Prof De Strooper said: “The amyloid hypothesis is an old hypothesis from 25 years ago. Since then we have acquired so much information that can’t fit into the simple amyloid hypothesis.
“It would be an over-simplification to reduce Alzheimer’s to amyloid. The main problem is not that the hypothesis is untrue, but it is very old-fashioned, simplistic and linear.
“Dementia is likely to be much more complicated, in a similar way to cancer, which we now know is caused and driven by a multitude of factors. I hope progress in tackling dementia will go faster than it did with cancer.
“At the Institute we will approach dementia as a complicated, multi-factorial disease. Inflammation, biochemistry, cellular changes – all these things are likely to have an influence.
However, he was in no way dismissive of the new wave of amyloid-targeting drugs now undergoing clinical trials.
So far none of these drugs have proved their ability to alter progress of the disease in large-scale patient studies.
Last month, scientists suffered a serious setback with poor results from solanezumab, an antibody drug designed to halt the build-up of beta-amyloid, in a Phase III trial.
Prof De Strooper said: “People see the failure of these drugs, but I think they have a very good rationale. In a couple of years it’s possible that we’ll be able to define what categories of patients these therapies will work for.
The accent on bringing together talent from different sides of science would see mixtures of experts working together in the same team, he said.
Prof De Strooper added: “My priority in the first year will be to improve our mechanistic understanding of the disease. We’ll be taking a multi-disciplinary approach to the problem.
He stressed that the Institute would not just be looking at Alzheimer’s but would investigate the whole range of neurodegenerative diseases, including disorders such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s. It would also search for common factors linking the conditions.

I planted a starter plant several weeks ago. I was delighted to find they were big enough to eat. So I did.
I invented this salad with things I had around the kitchen. I’ve made it twice already.
I made this with Truvia, so if you don’t like Truvia then add 4 tablespoons of sugar.
Prepare the carrot, cucumber, and purple onion on the mandolin slicer, set to 1/8 inch thin. Use the julienne setting for the carrots. Pre-cut carrots from the store can be used. Slice the green onion on a long diagonal. Place all vegetables in a non reactive mixing bowl.
In a small bowl. Mix the Truvia, dill, salt, and pepper. Add the rice vinegar, Aji-Mirin, and lemon juice to the bowl and mix. Pour the mix over the vegetables and combine with a slotted spoon. Cover with plastic wrap, removing as much air as you can.
Refrigerate for at least one hour, best over night. Swish the liquid through the vegetables as desired. Also great as a relish with frankfurters.
