If you participate in a pension plan at work, you might be offered a buyout at some point. This could happen if your employer wants to shrink its future pension obligations or if your company has been bought, and your new employer decides to terminate your existing pension plan. In either case, you will likely have two main options: You can take your pension as a lump sum of your accrued benefits, or you can convert it to an annuity, which can be structured to provide you with a lifetime income stream. Which choice is best?
A will or living trust? Which is right for you?
"Do I also need a trust?" You might be surprised. A revocable living trust can be a useful estate-planning tool for people at all income levels, not just the very rich, said Lisa Montano, an estate planning strategist for Wells Fargo Advisors.
Knowing the basics. "It depends on your individual circumstances, but most people should at least consider a revocable living trust," Montano said.
You set up the trust and then transfer your property and other assets into it.
Someone recently told me she wanted her children to "think for themselves." Not me, I said. If I was still in my active parenting years, I would most definitely want my children to think like I do. That would be, in fact, my primary purpose. I would want them to accept that my values are the right values to hold and I'd want them to eventually make every effort to pass those values on to their children. But then, I don't subscribe to the postmodern notion that all values are equal. I'm not a relativist.
For years, taxpayers who made mistakes with their IRAs usually corrected the errors and notified the IRS — and escaped unscathed. The agency was not as strict with enforcing penalties, and taxpayers often didn't even hear from regulators.
Rarely do I spend much time reading about celebrities in the news. Usually, because of the variance in reporting of the news; the stories tend to destroy my curiosity when there are so many different ones. However, Angelina Jolie has stepped out onto the red carpet wearing dresses that are not her norm. It has been rumored that she was once again pregnant, back in January. Therefore, with her various tattoos and full figured physique, everyone was expecting her to parade herself in one of her most revealing fashions, with baby in tow.


An evocative trek on the paths of the Supramountain of Urzulei.
We will visit Neulacoro, Cuile Brusau we will walk through the forest of primary Oaks, Taxus bacata, and Juniper trees. We will visit Neulacoro, Cuile Brusau (old shepherds' huts, located not far from the Codula Orbisi). In the evening we will go back to the meeting point.
Depending on the weather condition, the program maybe subject to change.


Two Lockheed Martin Aeronautics plant workers in Cobb County were recently diagnosed with Legionnaires' Disease.
Their current condition is unknown, but statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show the disease — a type of pneumonia contracted by inhaling contaminated mist or water vapor — is deadly in about 10 percent of cases.
"We continue to work closely with the Georgia Public Health Service and the Cobb-Douglas County Health Dept. to monitor our facilities, and ensure a safe and healthy environment for our employees," a company spokesperson wrote in an email to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Legionnaires' is not contagious, so normally instances of the disease are contained to a small population. Nonetheless, the disease afflicted more than 100 people during last summer's outbreak in New York. Twelve people died of the illness.
Dr. Jody Hughes, a physician in Marietta who has dealt with the disease in the past, told Channel 2 Action News that people should stay vigilant with their health.
"Watch out for any fevers, shortness of breath, coughing symptoms, if you have any of those symptoms and you know any coworkers exposed to those go see a health care provider pretty quickly," Hughes said.


Grapes sourced from old vineyards, average age of 45 years and of calacareous clay soils of poor fertility and yields of no more than 4.500 kg per hectare. Situated at altitudes of between 400 and 700 meters and around the villages of Villabuena, Samaniego, Leza, Navaridas and Baños de Ebro which are all in Rioja Alavesa.
Upon entering the bodega, the bunches are selected by Luis Cañas himself before being destemmed so the individual berries can be sorted based on their weight. The two varieties are processed and aged separately to preserve the fruit of the Tempranillo and enhance the complexity of the Graciano with its spicy characteristics. The fermentation process is carried out in concrete deposits under the strictest of temperature controls.
Both varieties are then racked to new French and American oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, before ageing for a total of 16 months.

Marvel vs. Capcom Origins review for XBLA, PSN
PS3, PSN, Reviews, XBLA, Xbox 360
by Chris Dunlap
Platform: Xbox Live Arcade
Also On: PSN
Developer: Iron Galaxy
Online: Yes
ESRB: T
Back in the 90's, Capcom ruled the arcades with the Marvel vs. Capcom series. A string of tag team 2D fighters beginning with the classic X-Men vs. Street Fighter, and continuing with 2012's Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Now, Capcom brings Marvel vs. Capcom Origins to Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network, but sadly the two games included are not exactly the origin of the series.
Origins gives you 2 classic Capcom fighters, Marvel Super Heroes, and Marvel vs. Capcom in one download, with the latter being the only "versus-series" game. When this game was announced, the world expected with a name like Marvel vs. Capcom Origins, we'd get at least 2 or 3 of the classic versus titles. Not to say that Marvel Super Heroes is a bad game by any means, but it's inclusion in this pack seems misplaced.
First up in Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is Marvel Super Heroes, a 2D fighting game in which superheroes and villains from the Marvel universe fight against one another in one on one battles. Throughout the match, players build up a super gauge which can be used to perform the powerful Infinity Combo attacks. The unique element in this game are the Infinity Gems, Power, Time, Space, Reality, Soul and Mind, which can be used to give your character more of an advantage in the fight. The Power gem lets you inflict more damage, the Time gem speeds you up, the Space gem give you super armor and the Reality gem adds elements to your attacks. The last gem, Soul, allows you to recover some lost life. Then there is the Mind Gem, which can only be obtained in the final battle with the game's final boss, Thanos, and can regenerate your Super Gauge.
The second Origins game, Marvel vs. Capcom, is actually the third entry into the Marvel Vs. series. Unlike Marvel Super Heroes, this game pits actual Capcom characters against Marvel heroes and villains in a tag team style fight. Players select 2 characters and one "helper" character from a different menu. In the fight, you can tag in your partner at any time to change the flow of the fight, and really makes for some exciting action. The helper characters can be called in a limited number of times for one or two hits on your opponent. This element can really tip the scales in ones favor very quickly. Like the previous game, you can build up your super gauge to unleash Super Combos and (with 2 Gauge's filled) can unleash Team up Combos to gain an insane hit count! The Final Boss is Onslaught, a ridiculously difficult fight with a screen filling enemy that even skilled players have had trouble getting through.
New to both titles is the ability to play online against the world! The online component is GGPO-enabled for maximum performance and features ranked matches, 8-player lobbies and even Spectator Modes. The online play is fluid with no lag whatsoever. Every connection I had was perfect, so I couldn't use the old "my game/controls are lagging" excuse when I would get my backside handed to me in a fight. Also included is the Vault, where players can acquire points by playing both games either online or off, and spend those points to unlock artwork, secret codes, ending movies and hidden characters. The hidden characters you can unlock are mostly for Marvel vs. Capcom, but there is one for Marvel Super Heroes that has to be seen to be believed, I won't spoil it here.
The graphics are just as fantastic and well-drawn as they were when you first saw them in the arcades. But now, players can select a few HD Filtering enhancements such as scanlines, smoothing and even play the games with the original cabinet artwork on the side. In all there are 30 different visual styles that can be implemented. These features have been seen in previous Capcom collection downloads such as Final Fight Double Impact, and Street Fighter 3 Third Strike, so it's really nothing that hasn't been seen before. The sound is top notch, with every grunt, boom and smack heard crystal clear like you are standing in front of an actual machine! The soundtracks, like the sound effects, are classic and sound as great as you remember, if not better!
Marvel vs. Capcom Origins brings the fun with 2 classic fighters. If you are a 2D fighting fan, like myself, you will find something to like here. What would of made this a perfect collection if it included, instead of Marvel Super Heroes, the fantastic Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. Not only is it in the versus series, it's also a tag team fighter like Marvel Vs. Capcom, plus it's inclusion would have justified the price. Origins is a whopping 1200 MSP ($15 on PSN), and that seems like a lot since there is only one actual Versus-series title in the bundle. Again, Marvel Super Heroes is NOT a bad game, it's just misplaced in a pack entitled Marvel vs. Capcom Origins. If you need a 2D fighter fix, it will do, otherwise you may want to wait for a price drop before picking this one up.

Explore a secluded bay that only a few people have visited on Phu Quoc Island. The Ganh Dau Coral Gardens is a fantastic natural ecotourism adventure that can be enjoyed by everyone, young and old alike.
Prepare yourself to spot a breathtaking array of tropical fish, many of which can only be found in the seas surrounding Phu Quoc. Angelfish, parrot fish, and more are all represented; as is each color of the rainbow! Plus, the macro wonders of nudibranches can be seen here as well… if you are patient enough that is. Crabs and even octopus make appearances regularly as well.
Located within a naturally protected bay in Ganh Dau Commune, Ganh Dau Coral Gardens is home to a plethora of hard coral species located at a depth of 5 m. Here, guests can expect to explore the underwater world and view a myriad of Gulf of Thailand marine life. In addition to the snorkeling, there is a nice small beach to relax on.
During the high season from October to May, there is little to no current here making this spot great for young kids as well.
In order to get to the Ganh Dau Coral Gardens you have to either paddle on your own or commission your own boat to take you there from Ganh Dau Beach, which is located at Mui Ganh Dau up in the north west region of Phu Quoc. It is a relatively short trip to the small bay.

The company also operate a one-stop procurement solution, Hyperpure, which supplies high quality ingredients and kitchen products to restaurant partners. The company also provide its delivery partners with transparent and flexible earning opportunities.1
Zomato was founded by Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah as Foodiebay in 2008 and was renamed as "DC Foodiebay Online Services Private Limited" as a private limited company on January 18, 2010. On May 16, 2012, the name of its Company was changed to "Zomato Media Private Limited", on April 3, 2020, the name of its Company was changed to "Zomato Private Limited". Finally on April 5, 2021 the name of its Company was changed to "Zomato Limited" upon conversion into a public limited company. The registered office of the company is Nehru Place, New Delhi.

While the company had a footprint across 23 countries outside India as of December 31, 2020, Zomato has taken a conscious strategic call to focus only on the Indian market going forward. Given the large market opportunity in India, the company believe a focused Zomato will enhance the value for all its stakeholders.
As of December 31, 2020, Zomato had 3,469 employees worldwide. Zomato also engage contractors and consultants to provide us temporary workforce.
The company's business is built around the core idea that over time, people in India are going out to eat at restaurants more than they cook at home. To capture value out of this shift in customer behavior, Zomato has two core business-to-customer (B2C) offerings – Food delivery and (ii) Dining-out, in addition to its business-to-business (B2B) offering (iii) Hyperpure. Another important part of its business is (iv) Zomato Pro, its customer loyalty program which encompasses both food delivery and dining-out.

The company's delivery network collected food from its restaurant partners and delivered it to customers with a median delivery time of less than 30 minutes in Fiscal 2020 (delivery time calculated from the time the Order is placed on its mobile application to the time the Order is delivered to the customer). The company had 161,637 Active Delivery Partners during the month of December 2020. In Fiscal 2020, its delivery partners fulfilled 94.9% of its Orders delivered.
Restaurant partners – on an average, in Fiscal 2020, the company had 131,233 Active Food Delivery Restaurants every month. Restaurants are the backbone of its business, and the company strongly believe that the company can only be viable if the company help the restaurant industry grow and succeed more than what it could do without it.
Customers use its dining-out offerings to search and discover restaurants, read and write customer generated reviews and view and upload photos, book a table and make payments while dining-out at restaurants. The company believe Zomato is a preferred destination for dining-out search and restaurant discovery in India.

Hyperpure is its farm-to-fork supplies offering for restaurants in India.

The company started Hyperpure in 2019 and are growing rapidly. In the month of December 2020, the company supplied to over 6,000 restaurant partners across six cities in India. Hyperpure helps it increase its engagement with restaurant partners on its platform, and in turn retain and grow its loyalty with them.
Zomato has an exclusive paid-membership program, Zomato Pro, which unlocks flat percentage discounts for its customers at select restaurant partners across both food delivery and dining-out offerings.

As of December 31, 2020, the company had 1.4 million Pro Members and over 25,350 Pro Restaurant Partners in India.
According to the DRHP, Zomato reported a loss of Rs 682 crore in the nine months ending December 2020. Previously, In the financial year 2019-20, the company had a net loss of Rs 2,386 crore, up from Rs 1,010 crore in the financial year 2018-19. Although the company reported a jump in revenue from Rs 1,397 crore in FY19 to Rs 2,743 crore in FY20, its expenses have increased from Rs 3,608 crore to Rs 5,006 in the same period.
April 28, 2021; Food delivery platform Zomato has filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the market regulator today, kicking off one of India's most anticipated internet initial public offerings (IPOs) in a tumultuous year. 3
According to the DRHP filed by Zomato, the company will offer equity shares aggregating up to Rs 8,250 crore (nearly $1.1 Billion). Of this, Rs 7,500 crore will be fresh issue, while Rs 750 crore will be an offer for sale for its existing investor Info Edge.
Info Edge on April 27th said said it will sell shares worth Rs 750 crore in the upcoming initial public offering.
The company's internal review of the IPO and other processes was completed on April 22, 2021, a development that was first reported by Moneycontrol on April 23rd, 2021. Sebi is likely to take about two weeks to review the DRHP and the final launch will depend on the market conditions, a source familiar with the development said.
Zomato raised $250 million in its pre-IPO primary fundraise a couple of months ago at a valuation of $5.4 Billion from investors such as Kora Management, Tiger Global, Fidelity, Dragoneer, and Bow Wave. Post this, Info Edge, one of Zomato's earliest investors said its effective stake in Zomato is now 18.4 percent.
This was on top of the $660 million primary round that it closed in December 2020, at a valuation of $3.9 billion from ten new investors including Tiger Global, Kora, Luxor, Fidelity (FMR), D1 Capital, Baillie Gifford, Mirae, and Steadview. Goyal had said then that the company is in the process of also closing a $140 million secondary round and that it was raising primary capital as a war-chest for future mergers and acquisitions and to fight off price wars from the competition.
Zomato reported a revenue of Rs 2,486 crore for FY20, even as its losses widened to Rs 2,451 crore during this period, as the pandemic shrunk order volumes and dine out revenue.
Zomato IPO: The initial public offering (IPO) of online food delivery platform Zomato will open on Wednesday, July 14, 2021, and will be available for subscription till Friday, July 16, 2021. The price band of the IPO has been fixed at Rs 72-76 per share of the face value of Rs 1 each. Earlier this week, the company had received a go-ahead from markets regulator Sebi. 4
The online food delivery giant aims to raise Rs 9,375 crore through the offer. The Zomato IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 9,000 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) worth Rs 375 crore by Info Edge (India), the parent company of Naukri.com, as per the information provided in the red herring prospectus available on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Investors who wish to subscribe to Zomato's IPO can bid in the lot of 195 equity shares and multiples thereof, as per its newspaper advertisement to Financial Express. At the upper price band, they will have to shell out Rs 14,820 to get a single lot of Zomato. The shares will be listed on both BSE and NSE.
The Zomato IPO will have 75 per cent reserved for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) and 15 per cent will be reserved for non-institutional investors (NIIs). The remaining 10 per cent of the issue will be available for retail investors.
The anchor portion is likely to open on Tuesday, July 13, 2021, one working day prior to the opening date for the public offer, the share allotment is likely to take place on July 22, 2021, and the shares are expected to be listed on July 27, 2021.
India's leading food delivery company Zomato made a stellar debut on Dalal Street on July 23 as the stock opened at Rs 116 on the NSE, a 52.63 percent premium to its final offer price of Rs 76. The listing price on the Bombay Stock Exchange was at Rs 115, up 51.32 percent. 5

"The response from institutional investors has been strong. This suggests that the overall float available for trading might be limited leading to a higher GMP. We issued a *Subscribe with Caution* rating for this IPO, keeping in mind the long investment horizon required for high-growth companies that are currently loss-making," said Rajnath Yadav, Research Analyst at Choice Broking.
"For retail investors who have the capacity to hold for a long term, we would recommend they hold on to their investment. While investors with shorter time constraints can sell if they see listing gains. Our outlook for Zomato is positive in the long run," he added.
The share price moved to Rs 138 intraday after listing at Rs 116 against the final offer price of Rs 76.
"Despite the large size of IPO at Rs 9,375 crore and rich valuations, Zomato saw healthy overall subscription of 38x. There is lot of fancy for such unique and first of its kind listing in the market,' said Sneha Poddar, Research Analyst, Broking & Distribution, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
"It enjoys couple of moats and with economics of scale started playing out, the losses have reduced substantially. Though, predicting the growth trajectory at this juncture is little tricky, but it's a good bet from long term perspective," she added.
The market capitalization of the company has crossed Rs 1 lakh crore mark, as it stood at Rs 1,08,067.35 crore after a stellar debut on Dalal Street, racing ahead of IOC, BPCL, Shree Cements.
The Rs 9,375-crore initial public offering, which opened for subsciption during July 14-16, had seen a stellar response from investors with 38.25 times subscription - highest in last 13 years among IPOs valued more than Rs 5,000 crore each.

Two and a half years ago I adopted a ten year-old dog, hoping to give an old dog two years happiness. The two years became two and half years and I think I can confidently say for the greater part of that time he was a very happy dog. But what I gave him was nothing to what he gave me and everyone who knew him. He was a joy to have around, cheerful and loving but he was not unique. In shelters, pounds and refuges everywhere there are so many older dogs with so much to give, most of them are doomed to die simply because no-one will offer a home to an old dog. One reason I have heard given is that it will not live long. Long life is not a guarantee for anyone; a puppy can get sick or be killed.
Dogs and cats of mature, not always old, age are frequently in need of a home through no fault of their own. They have advantages over puppies and kittens, they have outgrown the baby destructive age, they are house-trained, and have often had some other form of education. You can see exactly what you are getting, there is no danger of the cute little pup growing into something the size of a donkey or small horse. This appealing baby stage lasts an incredibly short time in a cat or dog's life and brings with it other less appealing things, such as puddles on the floor. So many dogs who were adopted at this stage have lost their charm even before they reach maturity and find themselves lonely and bewildered in a shelter. How much more sad and hurt must an old dog feel who has given so much love and devotion only to be abandoned in return. Yet so many of these dogs have an inexhaustible supply of love to give, seasoned by forgiveness for the human race.
In the time he lived with me Gus taught me so much about both these qualities and also that the value of any relationship does not depend on the length of time it lasts but on the amount of love shared. The only flaw in my time with Gus, one of the loveliest canine characters I met in a long lifetime of living with and loving dogs is that it was so short, but I would not have missed knowing him for anything.

Sometimes the best way to deal with an obstacle is to smash your way through it. Attacking an object—whether it's a door, a rope holding a chandelier, or a magic stone idol—works just like attacking a creature. The attacker makes an attack roll. If the attack is a hit, the attacker makes a damage roll, and the object takes hit point damage.
Objects are easier to hit than creatures because they don't usually move, but you still have to hit them well enough to deal damage. Use the Object Armor Class table above to determine the AC of an object by comparing its size to a common creature. If you take a full-round action to line up a good shot against the object, you get an automatic hit (if using a melee weapon) or a +5 bonus on the attack roll (for a ranged weapon).
Each object has hardness—a number that represents how well it resists damage. When an object is damaged, subtract its hardness from the damage. If this reduces the damage to 0, the object takes no damage from that attack.
An object's hit point total depends on what it is made of and how big it is (see the Object Hardness and Hit Point table above). When an object's hit points reach 0, it's ruined.
Very large objects have separate hit point totals for different sections (for example, a wagon has separate hit point totals for each wheel and for the wagon bed).
Energy attacks deal half damage to most objects. Divide the damage by 2 before applying the object's hardness. Some energy types might be particularly effective against certain objects, subject to GM discretion. For example, fire might do full damage against paper.
Objects take half damage from ranged weapons. Divide the damage dealt by 2 before applying the object's hardness.
Certain weapons just can't effectively deal damage to certain objects. For example, a warhammer isn't going to damage a rope. Likewise, most melee weapons have little effect on stone walls and doors because they're designed to damage flesh, not stone.
Objects are immune to critical hits and sneak attacks.
Nonmagical, unattended items (objects not being held by a creature) automatically fail their saving throws. Magic items always get saving throws. A magic item's Fortitude, Reflex, and Will save bonuses are equal to +2 + half its caster level. If you don't know the item's caster level, treat it as caster level 5.

This is a relatively straight-forward recipe with no expensive or hard-to-find ingredients. The lack of a crust brings the calorie content down. The most expensive ingredients are white wine (which could be replaced by dry Vermouth in a pinch), chicken and fresh tarragon (which could be substituted by dried).
