The hotel shuttle bus is in the departure level of the airport, not in the bus station as indicated by the employee of your company.
All good; be careful though. Extra bags will be charged. Having arrived at Miami International Airport (end of the line) the staff were amazingly friendly in helping me to get to South Beach.
Pleasant journey with good ac!
The bus driver was honestly great !
Excellent service, clean buses, prompt, and love the fact that they have water, WiFi and you can recharge your cell phone.
Great option for the money. Would have liked to know ahead of time that we would make a stop halfway to Miami and that the second checked bag is $15 as I might have packed differently. Otherwise I was very pleased.
The but was comfortable, the restroom didn't smell (as they usually do) and the driver very polite and nice. Unfortunately the bus had a 30 minute delay, which I think was very unprofessional.
Great ride, great price, great drivers!
Just an okay service, but read below. But the seat was covered in dog hair, what it looked like.
There was no wifi and no outlets available. The Bus provided did not match the pictures. The temperature was unbearable, way too cold.
They need to sort out their pickup points. It cost me $18 in a taxi to get out to the airport at Key West. All the other buses pickup/drop off in the town!
I tried to switch my bus ride to another time. No help.

Here at Yahire, over the years we have helped to organise many successful events, and we have noticed that there are several key factors that go into making a great event manager.
You not only have to be exceptionally organised, but remain positive throughout the process, and have amazing people skills.
Employing a strong event manager for one of your up and coming events could be the difference between success and failure. So we've put together a list of the most popular attributes needed to be a successful event manager.
An event manager has to be able to juggle and multi-task throughout the event, so they need to be strong organisers. Knowing exactly what is going on at what precise time, who to call, when deliveries are scheduled etc. are all part and parcel of putting on a great event. Events should be run like clockwork, and typically have a domino effect, if one piece is missing or late, the show could fail. You are the one who is co-ordinating, not just yourself, but the whole team behind you.
You can be the best organiser in the world, but if your clients or staff don't feel that they can approach you, you won't have much business for long. Being able to communicate effectively with all walks of life is important, as you will be dealing with both CEO's of top companies and delivery drivers. Maintaining good relationships with your staff, your suppliers and your clients will ensure you get repeat business. Remember, there's no such thing as a stupid question.
As in any job, if you try to do everything yourself you are going to burn out. Delegating does not mean passing on work to just anyone. It means carefully picking out those with a certain skillset and cherry-picking what areas of the event you want them to cover. Allowing your staff to shine in their chosen areas of expertise shows that you are proud of having good people around you. It is a sign of great management when the person at the top is surrounded by good staff, so put them in places where they can show off their skills.
It is your job to bring ideas and concepts to your client, not wait for them to come up with suggestions. The more suggestions you can offer, the better their event will be. You clients will also be unfamiliar with event terminology so you will have to be knowledgeable and be able to explain sometimes complex terms in easy to understand language. Being creative takes a huge burden off your client, particularly if this is their first event. They might not know where to start. If you can give them as many options as possible, they are more likely to really enjoy the process and return to you for future business.
Finally, Being able to quickly find a solution to any problem that arises is key in a good event manager. Most events do not run to schedule, do have last minute problems that need fixing, there is always something that has to be done. Your job is to be resourceful and step in with a solution. Being flexible also means listening to your client and taking on board their wishes for the event. It is easy to get a picture in our minds of how something should look like. Be mindful that your vision might not fit in with the clients.


The Waikato River Trails are one of the 23 Great Rides under Nga Haerenga, The New Zealand Cycle Trail.
The Waikato River Trails extend 100km along New Zealand's longest river, the "Mighty Waikato". The journey takes in five lakes, four hydro dams and a number of small towns and villages. The trails connect with the heart of the Waikato and showcase the very best of the region's natural environment.
The trails wind along a path that encompasses the magic and beauty of native bush, exotic forest, historic landmarks, and intriguing volcanic rock formations. The trails pass through grassed farmland, open reserves, and offer boardwalks through significant wetlands, as well as expansive lake and river views.
The Waikato River Trails offer a multi-purpose walking and cycling experience through varied environments where around every corner is a new vista. Towering dams, suspension bridges and long wandering boardwalks make memorable destinations in their own right.
Stories of the region's rich history are sign-posted as your journey winds along the river and through some of the Waikato's best landscapes.
The trails are an off-road mountain biking experience with a mountain-biking grade of 4, advanced. The southern and northern ends are predominantly grade 1-2; this includes lakes Karapiro, Whakamaru and Maraetai. Lakes Waipapa and Arapuni are grades 2-3.
Riding this trail offers the opportunity to experience the wonderful hospitality of New Zealand's farming and forestry heartland. The Waikato River Trails are close to Taupo, Tauranga, Auckland, Rotorua and Hamilton yet very far away from the noise and bustle of the city. The Waikato River Trails experience brings your senses to life as you connect with nature at its best. The Waikato River Trails experience is "living!"
The best time to ride the trail is September to May. The Waikato has a temperate climate so all but the mid-winter months are ideal for riding. The trails are largely protected from the wind. 48km of the trails are already open and in use, 47km are completed but yet to be opened, and 5km are still under construction. The remaining 5km sections are at lakes Arapuni and Maraetai.
SH1 provides key access points to both ends of the trail. To the north, access is off SH1 onto Horahora Road, driving for 5km before reaching the Pokaiwhenua Bridge car park which is the starting point of the Karapiro Trail. And to the south, access is off SH1 onto Ongaroto Road (SH30); 50m from the turnoff brings you to the start of the Atiamuri Trail.

EuRegio Salzburg-Berchtesgadener Land- Traunstein emerges continuously as a single market and a working and living space which belongs together. The intensification of cross-border activities results in cross-border monitoring and analysis. Planning for the whole cross-border EuRegio and developing national planning programmes like the Bavarian and Salzburg state developing programme or the developing concept of the city of Salzburg show that policy makers are in need of cross-border planning fundamentels and spatial indicators.Those are requirements for sustainable harmonised planning activities within a functional region. The project area includes the city of Salzburg and the surrounding communities in Austria (Bundesland Salzburg) and Germany (Landkreis Berchtesgaden and Traunstein).
The INTERREG III A project "EuRegionale Raumindikatoren für die nachhaltige Regionalentwicklung" (spatial indicators for sustainable regional development in the EURegio region) has been designed in autumn 2005. iSPACE which is the project executing organisation develops high resolution spatial indicatorstogether with Z_GIS (academic partner), authorities of the city and federal state of Salzburg and Bavaria as well as Statistics Austria. The project is meant to reduce information and knowledge insufficiencies and bring spatial information from both sides of the border together in an innovative way. This is the first time that such cross-border indicators are created for this region and they mean an important basis for decisions in future planning processes.


One of Colorado's largest recreational pot companies is planning to bring Willie Nelson's marijuana brand to Canada and go public in Toronto, according to people familiar with the matter.
LivWell Enlightened Health LLC is planning a series of deals that include taking over management of a Calgary-based cannabis firm and a reverse takeover of investment company Target Capital Inc., said the people, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn't public.
It is also changing its name to LivWell International and striking a side deal that will give it perpetual distribution rights in Canada to Willie's Reserve, the U.S. country singer's namesake marijuana brand, they said. The transactions could be announced as soon as Monday.
Nelson is 85 and still toking, and Chong is 80. Wow yet another good reason to get high.
I voted for Barney's Willie Nelson one time and it won.

Why not try them apples outside of the traditional crumble or classic apple pie? These cinnamon apple wholemeal waffles have a few added healthy benefits too.
As well as being made with wholemeal flour, they use chia seeds in places of eggs; chia remains stable and keeps its goodness even after being cooked at high temperatures, making these waffles a great source of fibre, protein, omega 3 and more.
These were made using spiralised apples but, if you don't have a spiraliser, they would work equally as well finely chopped or thinly sliced.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and lucuma. In a separate bowl, add the chia eggs and vanilla bean paste and mix well. Add the almond milk a little at a time, stirring well, to combine with the chia mix.
Create a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the chia mix slowly, stirring as you go to form a batter. Be careful not to overmix - it doesn't need to be completely smooth. Add the melted butter and gently mix in. Set aside for ten minutes.
Now add the spiralised apple, cinnamon and water into a large pan. Heat over a medium high heat, simmer for ten minutes to soften the apples. Turn on the waffle maker to warm up. Add the apples to the waffle batter and add around a quarter of the batter into the waffle maker. Press and cook according to your machine and preference (I prefer a medium setting).
Cook until golden brown, remove from the machine and place on a piece of kitchen paper to prevent it becoming soggy. Repeat for each waffle. Serve with plant-based honey, syrup or a date caramel sauce.

This can't be happening, we're not ready! If you haven't guessed it, The Vampire Diaries is ending after this season, which means the end of Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore!
For the past eight years, Ian Somerhalder and Vampire Diaries have gone hand in hand and fans must now say goodbye to the famous vampire show, and its epic love triangle. Just recently, among many of the Ian Somerhalder pics, was an Instagram post that was both touching and saddening. It was the actor's goodbye letter and essentially a Damon Salvatore style break up letter to his millions of fans.
Maybe this doesn't really mean goodbye. After all, shows ending or being cancelled doesn't mean what it used to anymore. Everything is being rebooted, from TV shows to movies—so maybe, just maybe, The Vampire Diaries will be back! What's the point of being an immortal if you can't live to see a remake? Check out Ian Somerhalder's heartfelt Instagram post below, and try not shed a tear, as Damon Salvatore and the rest of The Vampire Diaries crew make their final exit.


The inaugural Fourth Form Production of Julian Mitchell's Another Country is set in an English public boarding school in the 1930s and explores the Establishment and its traditional ways of dealing with rebels. Tommy Judd, a committed Marxist, wants to abolish the whole system of British life; Guy Bennett, coming to terms with his sexuality, wants a successful career within it.
This entirely student-led production promises to be a superb, funny and moving evening as the politics and tribal snobberies of pre-war school days are explored in Mitchell's subtle and absorbing drama.

Messberichte - Messmethodik
The National Air Pollution Monitoring Network (NABEL) measures air pollution at 16 locations in Switzerland. The stations are distributed throughout the country and monitor pollution at typical locations (e.g. city-centre streets, residential areas, rural stations).
In summer 2016, the new NABEL station Beromünster (LU) was put into operation at the shut-down radio transmission tower. The new station replaces the forest station Lägeren (AG) and allows the measurement of a wider range of pollutants.
The monitoring network has commenced operations in stages since 1979 and is operated by the Federal office for the environment and Empa. Article 39 of the LRV requires the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) to collect data on air pollution throughout Switzerland. The fulfilment of this statutory mandate is among the principal purposes of the NABEL network. NABEL measures indicator pollutants of national significance (e.g. nitrogen dioxide, ozone, fine particles (PM10), etc.). It is thus an important instrument for enforcing the LRV, especially insofar as it serves to monitor the success of air-pollution control measures (Art. 44 of the Environmental Protection Law).

NABEL also performs measurements for international monitoring programs and participates in the European exchange of data. Since monitoring activities commenced, various rural stations have formed part of the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP), which principally investigates the long-range transport of air pollutants across Europe. In addition, NABEL places its data at the disposal of EUROAIRNET, which was established by the European Environment Agency and primarily comprises stations from urban and suburban areas of all European countries. The Jungfraujoch station is part of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)'s Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) programme and serves as a background station for the free troposphere across the Central European region.

July 1976: Viking 1, an unmanned space probe, lands on Mars and transmits the first pictures of its surface back to Earth. No life is found, confounding centuries of speculation about canals and the aliens who might have constructed them.
January 1999: The first manned mission to Mars lifts off from Cape Canaveral, carrying a team of three astronauts to Mars. Unknown to them, their arrival has been anticipated by an advanced race of Martians whose presence went undetected by the Viking probes. When the astronauts from Earth land, a xenophobic Martian kills them before they even have a chance to walk on Martian soil.
April 2000: A second manned mission is launched to Mars, and its three-man crew is stunned when the Martian dust clears to reveal a very Earthlike environment. But it's not the true Martian civilization exposed at last; instead, it's an illusion tailor-made to emulate memories plucked out of the Earthmen's minds. At first the astronauts are taken in by the illusion, but when they begin to question it and try to escape it, the Martians show their true form and intent, allowing the astronauts to die without getting a message off to Earth about life on Mars.
June 2001: Despite the tragedy, a more extensive follow-up mission is launched, with a larger crew commanded by Colonel John Wilder, who has overseen the previous missions from Earth. Almost immediately upon landing, evidence of a Martian civilization, seemingly abandoned, is found. There's no longer any denying the presence of life there, though the monuments seem to be abandoned, perhaps evidence of an extinct civilization. Major Jeff Spender, Wilder's right-hand man on Earth and hand-picked to join him on this mission, ventures off into the Martian ruins himself and comes back a changed man. But changed into what?
Notes: A lavish co-production between NBC and the BBC, shot on "otherworldly" Lanzarote (a volcanic island where the BBC would also later shoot the 1984 Doctor Who story Planet Of Fire), The Martian Chronicles was intended to be the major draw to NBC's fall 1979 season. But Ray Bradbury himself, the author of the original stories the miniseries was based on, torpedoed that launch by calling the TV adaptation out as "boring" in a publicity appearance. With the creator of its major premiere alerting the public to a stinker, NBC rescheduled the miniseries to run during the winter doldrums of January 1980, before the ratings sweeps month of February (for which NBC already had a dire forecast, since the 1980 Winter Olympics would be airing during February on rival network ABC, likely trouncing anything scheduled against the games by NBC or CBS). The BBC didn't air The Martian Chronicles until August 1980.
The show's decks are stacked with genre veterans, including Roddy McDowall (Planet Of The Apes), Maria Schell and Barry Morse (Space: 1999), and Darren McGavin (Kolchak: The Night Stalker). Robert Beatty had appeared in pivotal episodes of Doctor Who (The Tenth Planet) and Blake's 7 (The Way Back). Bernie Casey would appear in both Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Babylon 5 during the 1990s. (Tangentially, Rock Hudson had starred in 1971's creepy non-genre movie Pretty Maids All In A Row, written and produced by one Gene Roddenberry.) Director Michael Anderson also had a well-known genre credit under his belt, the 1976 SF cult classic Logan's Run, while one of composer Stanley Myers' earliest TV music credits was for the 1964 Doctor Who story Marco Polo.
February 2004: Even with the high cost in lives of the third manned mission to Mars, full-scale colonization of the red planet begins. Mankind is still unaware of the ongoing Martian presence. Mining begins on Mars, supporting the construction of buildings and roads. The invasion from Earth has begun.
The Martians stay hidden, observing and plotting, and occasionally trying to walk among the humans in disguise. One such disguise – the dead son of a couple who have moved to Mars – gives the secret away. A pair of monks nearly die in an avalanche, only to be saved by Martian intervention, though one of the monks is certain that it's a sign of God, not a sign of alien life, and nearly goes mad trying to prove it. At a greasy spoon cafe established by one of Wilder's former landing party members, a Martian appears in full ceremonial robes, only to be shot at point blank range. Another appear, seemingly surrendering any claim on nearly half of Mars. What no one on Mars realizes is that the red planet is soon to become humanity's permanent home.
Notes: Michael Anderson Jr. is the son of director Michael Anderson; he also appeared in Land Of The Giants, Psi Factor and an episode of the Highlander series.
November 2006: Colonel Wilder flies a solo return mission to Earth, hoping to find survivors or some remnants of civilization, but nuclear war has wiped out the birthplace of the human race. The only surviving humans now live on Mars, and no further supply missions from Earth are coming. Wracked with guilt, Wilder returns to Mars.
As the human settlers eke out a meager existence trying to live off the Martian land, though some are seemingly oblivious to Earth's fate. Wilder lands near the home of a brilliant scientist who, in despair, has turned his talents toward recreating his dead family members with robots. Returning to the Martian ruins that drove Spender mad, Wilder encounters a Martian – or perhaps a recorded message from one – who urges him to make peace with the destruction of Earth and accept that people from Earth are the new Martians.
Notes: Producer Milton Subotsky was one of the founders of '60s British horror powerhouse Amicus Films, which also released the two '60s big-screen adaptations of Doctor Who starring Peter Cushing. (Since the Amicus name was associated so closely with horror films, a fictitious production company called AARU Films was credited for the Doctor Who films.) Amicus also released the first filmed adaptation of the Tales From The Crypt comics, predating the HBO series by 17 years.

Dumb thieves steal GPS-enabled devices from well site
Posted on July 29, 2015 by Taber Times
By J.W. Schnarr
jwschnarr@tabertimes.com
A number of assaults and an easy GPS-assisted bust highlighted Municipal District of Taber RCMP activity for the month of June.
During their regular meeting on July 14, M.D. council was updated on the monthly statistics gathered by the Taber/Vauxhall RCMP by Cst. Melanie Schefter.
RCMP responded to four assaults within the M.D. in June, including a complaint of a mother striking a daughter, which was deemed discipline gone too far. No charges were laid, and the situation was mediated.
They also dealt with an assault with a weapon, stemming from an incident where a male shot another male with a pellet gun following an argument over a girlfriend. Schefter said the man was charged, and when the weapon was tested, the velocity qualified it as a firearm.
"He's going to be hit by three more charges," she said.
A complaint from a woman in Vauxhall alleging her ex-boyfriend tried to sexually assault her was proven to be unfounded.
"The incident was unfounded," said Schefter.
And finally, police responded to an incident in Barnwell for a complaint that a man was assaulting his wife and son, and attempting to sexually assault his wife. Charges were laid in relation to the incident.
In regards to a theft that occurred involving a number of meters from CNRL oil and gas well sites, Schefter said the case was quickly resolved.
Both the meters had GPS tracking on them," she said, adding she tracked the devices to Edmonton, called Edmonton Police Service, and quickly recovered the property and found the suspects.
"It was a good one," Schefter quipped. "I did it all from my desk."
RCMP responded to a total of 195 complaints or incidents in June, including: One complaint of impaired driving, which resulted in a 60-day vehicle seizure due to prior infractions; four complaints of assault; three complaints of break and enter; eight complaints of theft, including six complaints of theft under $1,000 and two bicycle thefts that occurred in Vauxhall; one complaint of threats uttered, involving a woman with a screwdriver involved in a domestic dispute. As the male involved in the complaint was unwilling to provide a statement, there was insufficient evidence to proceed.
"There is a history with those two, and they like to make stuff up, essentially," Schefter said.
Seven complaints of mischief, including three in Grassy Lake, three in the M.D. area, and one in Vauxhall; one complaint under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, involving a driver pulled over for using their cell phone. The driver had no license, and investigating an odour of marijuana, drug paraphernalia was discovered.
"We issued tickets and did not lay criminal code charges in that," said Schefter.
24 complaints stemming from other Criminal Code or Statutes; 12 requests to assist police, other agencies, or the general public; 24 9-1-1 hangups; nine false alarms; one abandoned vehicle, involving an abandoned motorcycle at the Grassy Lake campground; eight animal calls, including three cattle complaints and three dog complaints; seven suspicious vehicles or persons complaints; one incident of lost or found property; one complaint under the firearms act, involving a complaint of shots fired at Chin Lake. Schefter said some children with a pellet gun were found and no charges were laid; 36 traffic complaints; 17 traffic collisions, including three resulting in injuries; 25 bylaw complaints; and five administrative files were opened.
RCMP also issued 68 violation tickets in June, including: 31 speeding; one intersection; nine other moving; one seatbelt; and 26 non-moving.

Cash surrender value required for policies issued on or after January 1, 1986.
(1) This section, in addition to all other applicable sections of this chapter, shall apply to all policies issued on or after January 1, 1986. Any cash surrender value available under the policy in the event of default in a premium payment due on any policy anniversary shall be in an amount which does not differ by more than two-tenths of one percent of either the amount of insurance, if the insurance be uniform in amount, or the average amount of insurance at the beginning of each of the first ten policy years, from the sum of: (a) The greater of zero and the basic cash value specified in subsection (2) of this section; and (b) the present value of any existing paid-up additions less the amount of any indebtedness to the company under the policy.
(2) The basic cash value shall be equal to the present value, on such anniversary, of the future guaranteed benefits which would have been provided for by the policy, excluding any existing paid-up additions and before deduction of any indebtedness to the company, if there had been no default, less the then present value of the nonforfeiture factors, as defined in subsection (3) of this section, corresponding to premiums which would have fallen due on and after such anniversary: PROVIDED, That the effects on the basic cash value of supplemental life insurance or annuity benefits or of family coverage, as described in RCW 48.76.030 or * 48.76.050(4), whichever is applicable, shall be the same as are the effects specified in RCW 48.76.030 or * 48.76.050(4), whichever is applicable, on the cash surrender values defined in that section.
(3) The nonforfeiture factor for each policy year shall be an amount equal to a percentage of the adjusted premium for the policy year, as defined in *RCW 48.76.050 (1) or (4). Except as is required by the next succeeding sentence of this paragraph, such percentage:
(a) Must be the same percentage for each policy year between the second policy anniversary and the later of: (i) The fifth policy anniversary; and (ii) The first policy anniversary at which there is available under the policy a cash surrender value in an amount, before including any paid-up additions and before deducting any indebtedness, of at least two-tenths of one percent of either the amount of insurance, if the insurance be uniform in amount, or the average amount of insurance at the beginning of each of the first ten policy years; and
(b) Must be such that no percentage after the later of the two policy anniversaries specified in subparagraph (a) of this subsection may apply to fewer than five consecutive policy years: PROVIDED, That no basic cash value may be less than the value which would be obtained if the adjusted premiums for the policy, as defined in *RCW 48.76.050 (1) or (4), whichever is applicable, were substituted for the nonforfeiture factors in the calculation of the basic cash value.
(4) All adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this section shall for a particular policy be calculated on the same mortality and interest bases as are used in demonstrating the policy's compliance with the other sections of this chapter. The cash surrender values referred to in this section shall include any endowment benefits provided for by the policy.
(5) Any cash surrender value available other than in the event of default in a premium payment due on a policy anniversary, and the amount of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit available under the policy in the event of default in a premium payment shall be determined in manners consistent with the manners specified for determining the analogous minimum amounts in RCW 48.76.020 through 48.76.040, * 48.76.050(4), and 48.76.070. The amounts of any cash surrender values and of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefits granted in connection with additional benefits such as those listed in RCW 48.76.070 shall conform with the principles of this section.
[ 1982 1st ex.s. c 9 § 17.]

text:
Die Betreuungsverfügung ist im deutschen Rechtsverkehr eine Möglichkeit der persönlichen und selbstbestimmten Vorsorge für den Fall, dass jemand selbst nicht mehr in der Lage ist, seine eigenen Angelegenheiten zu erledigen. Ihr Vorteil ist, dass sie nur dann Wirkungen entfaltet, wenn es tatsächlich erforderlich wird ( BGB).

Weisungen an das Betreuungsgericht
Das Betreuungsgericht hat bei der Auswahl eines Betreuers die in der Betreuungsverfügung getätigten Vorschläge im Rahmen des  Abs. 2 BGB zu berücksichtigen. Dazu ist es erforderlich, dass im Falle einer Betreuungsbedürftigkeit die Betreuungsverfügung dem Gericht bekannt wird. Hierzu gibt es in  Abs. 2 BGB eine Pflicht jedermanns, eine solche Verfügung beim Bekanntwerden eines gerichtlichen Betreuungsverfahrens dem Betreuungsgericht zu übermitteln. In einigen Bundesländern ist darüber hinaus auch schon zuvor die Hinterlegung einer Betreuungsverfügung beim Gericht möglich (zurzeit in Bayern, Hessen, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen). Im Rahmen der Registrierung von Vorsorgevollmachten im Rahmen des Zentralen Vorsorgeregisters der Bundesnotarkammer können dort auch Angaben zur Betreuungsverfügung hinterlegt werden.

Unterschied zur Vorsorgevollmacht
Bei anderen Vorsorgemöglichkeiten (Vorsorgevollmacht, Patientenverfügung) ist man  auf das Vertrauen gegenüber dem Bevollmächtigten bzw. den Ärzten angewiesen, denn der Betroffene selbst ist im Zweifel nicht mehr in der Lage, die eigenen Vorgaben zu kontrollieren. Außerdem lässt es sich bei diesen Vorsorgemöglichkeiten nicht sicherstellen, die Handlungsvollmacht für einen Dritten nur wirksam werden zu lassen, wenn es erforderlich ist. Andererseits gilt sie bereits unmittelbar im Falle, dass die Handlungsunfähigkeit eintritt und muss nicht noch von einem Gericht bestätigt werden.
Die Betreuungsverfügung entfaltet erst dann Wirkung, wenn das Gericht es entsprechend der gesundheitlichen Situation des Verfügenden für erforderlich hält, dass die Handlungsbefugnis dem vom Verfügenden Vorgeschlagenen übertragen wird und diese Befugnis dann unter gerichtlicher Kontrolle steht. Der Vorgeschlagene wird dann vom Gericht zum Betreuer ernannt. Das heißt, das Betreuungsgericht wacht über die Einhaltung der Verfügung und z. B. über jeden Ein- und Ausgang auf den Konten des Verfügenden.
Anders als bei einer Vorsorgevollmacht ist es bei einer Betreuungsverfügung nicht nötig, dass bei ihrer Abfassung Geschäftsfähigkeit ( BGB) gegeben ist. Die in der Betreuungsverfügung geäußerten Wünsche sind für das Gericht grundsätzlich auch dann zu beachten, wenn sie von einem Geschäftsunfähigen geäußert wurden.

Erforderlichkeit
Bei jedem kann jederzeit der Fall eintreten, der eine Betreuungsverfügung sinnvoll macht.
Nach einem Unfall, einem (Hirn-)Infarkt, bei Demenz, psychischer Erkrankung etc. kann schnell die Situation eintreten, dass der Betroffene selbst nicht mehr handlungsfähig ist und ein anderer für ihn handeln muss.

Das für den Betroffenen örtlich zuständige Amtsgericht als Betreuungsgericht wird in diesem Fall erforderlichenfalls einen Betreuer bestellen. Im Jahr 2015 wurden nach Auskunft des Bundesjustizamts 37 % der bedürftigen Personen durch berufliche Betreuer betreut. Auf dieses Verfahren kann man im Vorfeld Einfluss nehmen.

Inhalt einer Betreuungsverfügung
Mittels der Betreuungsverfügung kann man bestimmen
 wer zum Betreuer bestellt werden soll und wer nicht ( Abs. 2 BGB),
 wo der Wohnsitz des Betreuten sein soll ( Abs. 2 BGB),
 was inhaltlich auch Bestandteil einer Patientenverfügung sein könnte
 in eingeschränktem Maße auch Umgang mit Finanzen, Geschenke usw. Hier ist der Betreuer aber durch restriktive Maßnahmen der Vermögensverwaltung gesetzlich eingeschränkt (,  BGB).

Nicht jeder möchte im Alter in einem Altenheim gepflegt werden, wo er medizinisch und pflegerisch gut versorgt ist, sondern lieber in der eigenen Wohnung bleiben, wo er vielleicht Einbußen in der medizinischen Versorgung und Pflege hinnehmen muss.
Das, was von vielen unter Lebensqualität verstanden wird, kann mit einem mehr oder weniger hohen Risiko verbunden sein. Bei Menschen, mit denen eine Verständigung über diese Fragen nicht mehr möglich ist, setzt die Betreuungsverfügung an.

Die Betreuungsverfügung baut in erster Linie nicht auf Vertrauen. Ihr Inhalt dient vielmehr zu gegebener Zeit dem Gericht zur Kontrolle. Das Gericht überwacht z. B. Zahlungsvorgänge auf dem Konto des Betroffenen und kontrolliert auch die Einhaltung der Vorgaben der Betreuungsverfügung.

Form der Betreuungsverfügung
Diese sollte nach Überlegung der eigenen Wünsche, Möglichkeiten und Vorstellungen, seien sie kultureller, wissenschaftlicher oder religiöser Natur, möglichst handschriftlich verfasst werden. Gesetzlich vorgeschrieben ist dies freilich nicht.

Sinnvoll ist es auch, die Betreuungsverfügung regelmäßig zu aktualisieren, um sie damit der Wandlung eigener persönlicher Vorstellungen anzupassen. Eine regelmäßige, etwa einmal jährliche Ergänzung der Betreuungsverfügung  mit dem Satz "Ich will an der vorstehenden Verfügung festhalten" sowie Datum und Unterschrift erleichtern dem Gericht die Beurteilung der Frage, ob die Betreuungsverfügung den aktuellen Willen des Betroffenen wiedergibt.

Zum Abfassen einer Betreuungsverfügung kann als Vorlage jeder Entwurf einer Vorsorgevollmacht verwendet werden. Diese sollte in Betreuungsverfügung umbenannt werden.

Fachkundige raten von vorformulierten Vordrucken ab, die man nur noch ankreuzen und/oder unterschreiben muss. Sie halten sorgfältige Überlegungen, Einholung umfassenden Rates und Aufklärung und eigene Formulierungen für erforderlich, um den eigenen Willen wirksam niederzulegen.

Beratung und Beglaubigung
Die Einholung von Rat und Aufklärung bei Dritten, beispielsweise Notaren oder Rechtsanwälten, kann sich empfehlen. Betreuungsvereine sind ebenfalls zur Beratung bei der Abfassung von Vorsorgevollmachten und Betreuungsverfügungen verpflichtet. Oft beraten auch Krankenhaus- und Altenheimsozialdienste in Bezug auf Betreuungsverfügungen. Unterschriften unter diese Dokumente können seit dem 1. Juli 2005 auch von der örtlichen Betreuungsbehörde beglaubigt werden.

Hinterlegung der Betreuungsverfügung
Das Betreuungsgericht muss die Betreuungsverfügung berücksichtigen. Das kann es aber nur, wenn die Betreuungsverfügung auffindbar ist. Hinterlegt werden sollte dieses Dokument also am besten da, wo es auch gefunden werden kann. Denkbar ist die Aufbewahrung zum Beispiel zu Hause in einem Notfallordner. Zusätzlich kann die Betreuungsverfügung beim zentralen Vorsorgeregister der Bundesnotarkammer registriert werden. Der Nachteil hier: Die Dokumente sind hier zwar registriert, können aber nicht eingesehen werden. Das Vorsorgeregister notiert, dass eine Betreuungsverfügung erstellt wurde, aber nicht, was darin steht. Die Registrierung beim Vorsorgeregister ist gegen eine Gebühr möglich. Eine weitere Möglichkeit die Betreuungsverfügung aufzubewahren ist die Online-Hinterlegung. Zahlreiche Dienstleister bieten diesen Service an.

Widerruf, Kündigung und Entlassung des Betreuers
Eine Betreuungsverfügung kann wie eine Vorsorgevollmacht jederzeit ohne Einhaltung einer Form widerrufen oder geändert werden. Gemäß  BGB ist ein Widerruf der Betreuung allerdings nicht möglich, wenn die Betreuung "von Amts wegen" notwendig ist. Sollte der Betreuungsfall bereits eingetreten sein, kann die Betreuungsverfügung trotz Geschäftsunfähigkeit widerrufen werden – dann bestimmt das Betreuungsgericht einen anderen Betreuer. Nach  BGB kann das Betreuungsgericht den Betreuer außerdem entlassen, wenn es Zweifel an dessen Eignung gibt, "ein anderer wichtiger Grund für die Entlassung" besteht oder der Betreute eine andere geeignete Person findet, die zur Betreuung bereit ist.

Debut album release from the Brixton acid-punk-prog trio
Ham Legion's long awaited debut album 'Paradise Park' is being released on Bandcamp and Spotify on 25th October. Written, performed, engineered & mixed entirely themselves. It's a tour de force of psych grunge, pop hooks and ferocious heavy passages. The versatility of the band is captured wonderfully over these 12 songs. They are at once gently intricate, sombre and soothing, harsh and playful. Always mad, beautiful and impossible to anticipate.
Ham Legion emerged first into the Brighton live music scene and quickly gathered a reputation for their accomplished approach to songwriting, as well as their dynamic musical technique. This punk-prog 3-piece are now based in Brixton & they are one of the stand out bands involved with the exciting scene around Brixton Hill studios. This year the band has performed across the UK and embarked on a european tour where they brought their jaw dropping live show to venues in Prague, punk clubs in Germany and a squatted factory in Luxembourg.
As well as being life long fans of Cardiacs (frequently playing fundraiser events for Tim Smith), Ham Legion have a wide range of influences. They cite; Mr. Bungle, Split Enz, They Might Be Giants, Heavy Vegetable, The Pretty Things, Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd, Deerhoof, Stranglers, Lemonheads, Kinks & Charlotte Hatherley to name a few.
"Oozing with energy and a billion ideas they combine alternative pop sensibility with outbursts of metal and forays into mysticism and downright bonkersness." -Louder Than War
"A cavalcade of mood-switches and charges in and out of the unknown; a puckish delving into the traditions of English pop eccentricity, but one that's smeared by tarry black coffee-sludge and amp crunch." - Misfit City
"A brilliant and almost baffling medley of styles, odd timings and unexpected interludes."- Brighton Source
"an undergrowth of grunge, 60s psychedelic pop, punk and avant-garde prog, never staying in one place for long before breaking into strong melodic hooks and diving off again down a path of dissonance, odd time signatures and acrobatic melodies." -Joyzine

Only when urban plans meet urban reality do you find out how effective they are.
Take the Revi-Centre plan Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue implemented back in the 1980s to re-develop our old town centre. Now that was a big project for a little town! When you walk along the boardwalk from the Couche Tard to that spiral staircase up to Galipeault Bridge, you realize what a big project that was.
And maybe it was comparatively easy to build the boardwalk in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue. It seems so obvious now.
Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue's brilliant urban planner at the time (we're talking about the mid-1980s), Pierre Landry, had to negotiate for the public ownership of every little slice of waterside property with all the owners along the water's edge. He had to assemble enough land to build what you walk along today. It was tricky with some landowners and I believe that there was an expropriation. Most landowners could be persuaded to sell from self-interest: their remaining land doubled in value.
When, later, the town acquired the old site of the Brasserie Bellevue, we had to use an intermediary to cloak the public nature of the 'buyer.' And, for those who think there might have been something fishy in this, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue paid what the owner was asking. There was no price inflation.
The truth is that you want to avoid expropriation if possible: if you have to expropriate, you have to be prepared to pay what an independent evaluator or the courts establish as market value.
Another thing about major projects like the 1980s revitalization of the town centre is that government grants stimulated councils to go ahead. The 80s were a time of excitement, a recovery from recession. Our urban planners were dreaming up big blue changes.
And then as the subsidies dried up, we cut the project. We didn't complete the whole dream for the town centre. Some of the problems we left on the table for future councils. They're still not resolved.
So it's not surprising when I read about the recent green grassroots planning process for Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue's northern sector. There is talk of an 'eco-campus' with a central gathering place near a transit hub with green roofs and rain-barrels and electric-car charging stations.
Sounds a bit like what we tried to develop next to the Eco-Museum but only succeeded in attracting one company, Schluter Systems which, even with its green credentials, annoyed neighbouring residents who didn't want any commercial buildings next to their houses. The only other eco-business that showed any interest in the eco-campus was selling solar panels: it was basically warehousing.
Then the 2009-13 council tried to develop a residential community in that area but, sadly, that seemed to fizzle out. And maybe that was for the best: if it had worked, council might be grappling with a highway noise problem and a sound barrier movement.
Because it's one thing to get urban designers to take a wish list from neighbourhood meetings and make an ideal sustainable urban plan: but what is the 'market' prepared to let you do? What are developers prepared to finance and build? If you make a land development plan without consulting the people who are going to finance, build and sell it — the developers — you'd better be prepared to explain why the type of businesses you want to attract to your industrial space aren't out there.
Of course in the days before the Quebec government created the CLDs (Centres Locaux de Développement) and made them part of the general bureaucracy, there was our own Industrial Commissioner, George Nydam. He could have told you what were your chances of finding 'green' companies interested in setting up in the West Island. And have no doubts: everyone is competing for those same companies.
Councils I was on only wanted high-tech businesses to set up in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, but how many high-tech companies are out there looking for space? And how much space do start-ups want?
And when you do find one, as Schluter Systems found us and built an LEED-certified building, don't expect your residents to applaud: to them it's just an industrial space like any other. They'd rather leave the abandoned farmland undeveloped.
So, can a green urban plan become a green neighbourhood reality? Well, if a level of government is prepared to finance it, to build those bike paths on that scale, to run electric buses into your new community, to build that community centre in the woods, then maybe.
But my guess is that most green plans are, for the large part, make believe.


"I chose TWU because of the program and the university's reputation," Jessica shared, and added that the positive influence of an alumnus, a previous field work supervisor in Utah for her associate's degree, helped, too.
From her time volunteering Jessica saw a great need within the Denton Community Health Clinic. At that time, the Clinic had lost some critical funding and feared it would need to close. They were looking for additional funding, but also, for ways to continue certain services. Jessica learned about the Experiential Student Scholar program and realized that she could assist the Clinic while also gaining invaluable practical experience.
Jessica teamed up with an OT professor, Dr. Claudette Fette, for a project at the clinic to serve patients and evaluate the possibility of having other TWU OT students serve patients of the Clinic in the future. Jessica boldly dreams of an ongoing partnership between the students of TWU's School of Occupational Therapy and the Clinic. She envisions the significant benefit it would bring to the Clinic's patients, and to the OT students as well. The challenge, however, is the financial cost of having a licensed therapist to oversee the students' practical experiences.
Jessica is looking forward to completing her degree in occupational therapy in December 2018 and is currently completing her fieldwork in Idaho.
In 2017, the profession of occupational therapy celebrated 100 years, and it also marked the 75th anniversary of the inception of the program of study at Texas Woman's University. The department is now home to one of only three Occupational Therapy Ph.D. programs in the entire nation.
The dedicated faculty and staff of the program look forward to many more years of guiding students to fulfilling careers of boldly providing compassionate care for others.

Enrolling in drama school at the age of eight set SONIA on the path to becoming a professional singer and actress where she gained a LAMDA gold medal with honours. Her determination paid off and shortly after leaving school she made appearances in the popular sitcom Bread as well as the soap opera "Brookside.
She was only sixteen when she first entered the music business. Whilst playing the Liverpool club circuit, she was spotted by record producer Pete Waterman and an impromptu audition secured a recording contract with Simon Cowell at BMG.
Sonia'S debut single You'll Never Stop Me From Loving You was released in 1989 and shot to number one in the UK selling a staggering 350,000 copies. Numerous television appearances revealed her bubbly personality and natural enthusiasm endearing her to a large audience. Everybody Knows, her debut album sold half million copies and included a string of top singles such as Can't Forget You, Listen To Your Heart and Counting Every Minute.
In 1991 Sonia was able to develop her song writing talents and released the album Sonia. Further hits followed including Only Fools and Be Young, Be Foolish and a tour of Europe, The Far East and North and South America strengthened her already substantial following. She also presented Wetter the Better, a Saturday morning children's TV show.
Her next step clearly displayed her versatile voice and genuine love of performing as SONIA was invited by the BBC to be the UK representative in the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest. Whilst she was pipped into second place by the Irish, her single Better The Devil You Know hit the UK charts at number 9 and her album, of the same name, entered the album charts at number 20.
Sonia then entered the world of theatre receiving excellent reviews as she performed with Dennis Waterman in Slice of Saturday Night in London's West End. On meeting the producers of GREASE, Sonia was once again signed on the spot for the lead role of 'Sandy'. For twelve months, until April 1995, she performed to a full house and critical acclaim alongside Craig McLachlan and Shane Richie.
After the success of GREASE, Sonia appeared as one of the major stars in the What A Feeling tour with Irene Cara, singing songs from the hit movies and musicals and travelling throughout the UK for four months. This proved to be so successful that a 2nd UK tour was arranged and also an overseas tour.
In 2007, Sonia starred as Molly, to rave reviews, in 'Good Golly Miss Molly', at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool.
Sonia is a veteran pantomime performer and has played many roles ranging from principal boy to fairy godmother. Her credits over the years include Dick Whittington, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Aladdin and Sleeping Beauty.
For the 1996 Summer Season SONIA appeared in Blackpool in The Lily Savage Show which again proved to be so successful she was singing to a full house every night. This led to Sonia playing 'Bunty', the daughter of Lilly Savage in BBC's Lily Savage Show.
During Summer 2000, Sonia starred in John Conway/AMG Ltd's 80s musical 'Eternal Flame'. In 2001 she recorded some tracks for Hit Sound records and spent time recording an album in Nashville with producer Stuart Coleman.
In 2003, Sonia took part in Granada's major Saturday night project, 'Reborn in the USA', which transmitted on ITV1.

The first ever plant-based supplement that benefits plants as much as it does people.
Shilajit is an incredibly nutrient-dense mineral that is biologically formed through the decomposition of ancient plant matter that has never been tainted by man-made fertilizers, toxins, or pollutants.
It is safe for people, plants, and dissolves in water.
The Nucleus in Shilajit (Dibenzo Alpha Pyrones) has been shown to play a direct role in cannabinoid synthesis. This means that it may increase the potency and effect of medical cannabis, from CBD extracts to THC dominant strains.
Many report having less anxiety while medicating as well. This is most likely due to Shilajit acting as a GABA-mimetic in the brain. Take Natural Shilajit 30 minutes before you medicate for the best results.
Plants are very similar to people in the sense that they rely on mineral nutrition to attain high levels of immunity. All plants require 84 minerals to reach their full genetic potential. Shilajit contains 85 minerals in a bioavailable form; meaning they are directly available to plants the minute you apply it. Feel free to either drench of foliar spray with Shilajit once every 2 weeks at .1g per gallon of water. Shilajit acts as an "insurance policy" when paired with your current routine, since it contains key trace minerals, enzymes, fulvic acid & humic acid.
How To Use Natural Shilajit Resin?
Dissolve .1g (1/64 tsp) into 1 gallon of non-chlorinated water.
Re-apply every 2-4 weeks throughout the growing season, from seed until harvest.
Being 100% water-soluble, our resin will not clog aeroponic systems, watering wands, or drip-feed systems of any kind.
Check out our new Shilajit Powder! It dissolves 10x as fast as our Resin.
At Natural Shilajit, we pride ourselves in sourcing the highest quality Shilajit available from the pristine regions of the Altai mountains. Our Shilajit is has Vegan & Kosher certifications, is OMRI Listed in both the U.S. & Canada, and falls well below California Proposition 65 limits for your safety.

"A city without music is a dead city"

The world's most celebrated jazz musicians got together in Havana to celebrate International Jazz Day on Sunday, transforming the Cuban city into the global hub of the popular music genre.
The concert, organized at the Alicia Alonso Grand Theater of Havana under the theme of world peace, unity and inter-cultural understanding, brought together more than 50 internationally acclaimed musicians, who collectively have more than 60 Grammy awards.
Artists performing at the all-star global concert included Chucho Valdes, Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, Esperanza Spalding and Cassandra Wilson.
American pianist-composer Hancock, who co-directed the event with Cuba's Valdes, quoted an African proverb that "a city without music is a dead city", as he called Havana a dynamic, energetic and lively place.
The two living jazz legends performed together John Lennon's song "Imagine" at an evening that ended with one of the most well-known Cuban melodies "Guantanamera".
American actor Will Smith hosted the event, explaining that jazz was born a century ago as a music genre, but has transformed today into a universal force for peace, dialogue and unity.
Latin-Cuban jazz was the highlight of the show as local artists, including singers El Indio Llorente and Oscar Valdes, trumpeter Julio Pardon, pianist Roberto Fonseca and percussionists Adel Gonzalez and Yaroldy Abreu spread their magic.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Director-General Irina Bokova said jazz has traversed the world, and Cuba houses a distinct and new form of the genre.
International Jazz Day has been celebrated around the world on Apr. 30 since it was started by UNESCO in 2011 to celebrate its virtues as a tool for peace, unity and dialogue.
After being celebrated in New Orleans, Istanbul, Osaka, Paris and Washington DC, the festival moved to Havana this year due to Cuba's contribution to the genre, and to commemorate 70 years of relations between the country and UNESCO.

For 11-year-old Haddonfield resident Caroline Deegan, 2014 was a tough year. She and her three siblings were being raised by working single mother Susan, and things started to get tough at school in fifth-grade.
"Caroline would come home from school and it was a matter of making a connection in a limited time space — after I got home from work and before bedtime — and she wouldn't talk," said Susan.
Susan and Caroline started frequenting Say It With Clay (SIWC), an art therapy non-profit in Collingswood, and Susan says she saw a dramatic change in her daughter over several sessions. Together, they made bowls, warming mugs, ornaments and other gifts, and Caroline even held her last birthday party there. But the best part, according to Susan, is her renewed relationship with her daughter.
Teens and parents struggling to find common ground can soon participate in a formal program geared to copy Caroline and Susan's results, thanks in part to two $1,000 grants to SIWC from Investors Bank in partnership with the Roma Bank Community Foundation. SIWC provides an alternative, holistic therapy program designed to help relax and motivate children and teens.
Reconnect will be a free, eight-session program in which teens and their parent/guardian complete projects specifically designed for them. After a relationship assessment with a licensed art therapist, the teen and parent/guardian pair will work on issues such as trust, anger and happiness through enjoyable therapeutic projects such as memory tiles and a set of dishes. Kasoff, who specializes in adolescent therapy, believes the new program would be beneficial for teens with a range of issues, such as teen mothers and runaways.
SIWC applied for the grants from the Investors Foundation and Roma Bank Community Foundation; Roma Bank became part of Investors Bank in early 2014. The Foundation supports non-profit organizations that enrich diverse communities served by Investors Bank.
Creating projects with clay enables the parent and child to feel a sense of ownership and accomplishment in SIWC's intimate and personal atmosphere. Seeing their completed projects helps participants build self-esteem and confidence. After "creating" time with clay, the parent and child always speak about their project in "sharing" time. Kasoff stresses the threat-free environment that creates an equal playing field.
SIWC still is looking for additional funding to begin running the Reconnect program. For more information, or to donate, contact Abbie Kasoff at (856) 816–7458 or abbie@sayitwithclay.org.

Does A Heavenly Haven, Inc offer the following services?
I wish I had found A Heavenly Haven years ago. I'm sure my mother would have been happy here for years. My mother lived here for a few months before passing away. I moved her here because her prior RCFE had some issues. I've seen many RCFE facilities over the past 8 years and I knew that this place seemed better than the other RCFE that I had visited. This RCFE is clean, the administrator & staff are very well trained and are genuinely caring. This means that issues such as bed sores are not left to fester and resident's are kept comfortable. My mother was always kept clean, skin moisturized and pillows were arranged to keep her in comforting positions. The other residents seem happy as well. I'd recommend coming out and taking a look at this RCFE, it won't be a waste of time. I also like that they support environmentally friendly initiatives and use solar panels to help provide electricity to the house.

Charities and coronavirus: Reflections on the sector following the 2008 financial crisis
Click here to read more insights on how we can weather the coronavirus outbreak with you.
It is impossible to predict the extent of the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on our societies, but the role of charities and philanthropy in responding will be key.
Whilst the circumstances of the economic crash in 2008 were entirely different, the impact on charity reserves and grant-making foundations could be similar to what we saw following the 2008 financial crisis.
In 2008/2009, many charities reported that the donations they received were down, as individual donors were facing financial uncertainty. At the same time, endowed charities which saw a dramatic and sudden reduction in the value of their endowments were also dealing with reduced investment income to distribute. Charities which operated on an expendable endowment or total return basis also faced a situation where, unless they reduced their distribution rate, they faced further reducing their (already depleted) capital and jeopardising future giving.
However, notwithstanding this, some grant makers not only maintained their distribution rate, but actually increased the amount they were prepared to distribute, recognising that continued or even greater funding was needed at that moment – not least because of the reduction in giving from individual donors – and that when the markets recovered and the crisis abated they could make up some of their reserves.
Furthermore, arguably there may also have been a similar response from some individual donors, those who are committed to philanthropy whether for ethical or religious reasons, and as a matter of principle viewed the donation as coming before their own personal needs.
In 2020, charities are facing not only a drop of donations due to financial uncertainty, but also the loss of voluntary income from large
fundraising events. Alongside grant-making bodies with expendable endowment considering whether to deplete their capital, many charities are likely to be considering their reserves policy and the extent to which they can and should use reserves. The Charity Commission has published guidance on the use of reserves, and it is clear that they are encouraging the use of reserves where possible.
It is hoped that the current crisis will prompt a greater response from individual donors for ethical reasons than in 2008, due to the devastating impact of the virus on the vulnerable and health workers around the world.
