Q: I see no f#ck%ng CD-key?
A: It's the long and weird file name in the archives. Copy and paste the letters after the "-" symbol.
Q: I installed and did as described on the torrent description and still I got wrong client version something when I try to connect, WT...?
A: Windows Vista and Win7 have higher security when it comes to installing updates and stuff. You need to execute the updates with admin rights. Do that by right click the update and select run as admin. If you can't do that you need to configure your user in the controlpanel.
Q: OK, I think I got all the installation right, but I don't see any Frez Room. Only USA, Europe and places I'm not interested in. I want to go to Frez Room.
A: Your system didn't register the reg file properly. As the problem above, Vista and Win7 need to run the reg file as admin.
Q: When I press the battle.net button It only says connecting to the fastest server or something... then nothing happens.
A: Your firewall is blocking the game. You need to let "game.exe" have internet access. Check your firewall settings.
Q: My D2 have internet access still the same problem.
A: Server might be down, call Frezzno.
Q: Yes! All is ok, I did an account and created a character. But when I start a game I only see the door graphic for a while. Then it says that the game doesn't exist or I lost the connection.
A: Ops, PVPGN is on but not the D2 game server itself. Call Frezzno.
Q: I'm beyond windows and playing it on my MAC, can I join?
A: Get a PC ! No just kidding. Check this thread.
Q: Server states that there are lots of members and games online, but I can only see a few. How come?
A: You can only see games of your character difficulty, ladder and maybe level, depends on the game set-up by the member. You also can't see passworded games, those you need to enter manually by knowing the game name and password. Currently Frezzno is working on making all the games visible but fails.
Q: I'm entering the chat but I'm the only one there despite that I know many are online, or...?
A: They are all playing.
Q: Is it possible to import my single player character to your server?
A: Hmm it depends. check this thread.
Q: How do I call Frezzno?
A: You can try PM him. If nothing happens, send him an email to "d2lod-frezznoATtelia.com", and hope for the best.

The FAQ is now updated.
This is a problem with the HtmlHelper class. The checkbox should recieve on and off values (ex. array('on'=>1, 'off'=>0) ). Then an input type="hidden" with the same name as the checkbox and the default off value should be printed just before the checkbox input.
If the checkbox is checked the 'on' value is returned, if it is not check the hidden value is returned.


Among the many beauties of living in the United States is our ability to participate in government. Many people think of that in terms of the elections we hold in November.
But it's important to stay engaged throughout the year. I'll admit: I don't let my state representative and senator, or my members of Congress, know what I'm thinking as often as I should.
This week, though, I did. Specifically, I wrote letters to my state representative – Paul Rosenthal – and my state senator – Melisa Franzen. There are two wildlife-related bills before the state Legislature that I'm concerned about. To date, neither Rosenthal nor Franzen has signed onto the bills, and I'd like to keep it that way.
The Internet makes it very easy to let your elected representatives know what you're thinking. And they give most weight to letters and emails they receive from people in their districts. The easiest way to start? If you live in Minnesota, click here. To learn who your Congressional representatives are, click here. And if you don't live in Minnesota and want to know who represents you at the state level, click here to find your state Legislature's website.

Q: How to Access Shared Network drive File using C# code Manually I Have Mapped Network Drive Y://  To My System .Drive is having Manny Folders each Containg Single XMl File having Same as Folder .
Here I am Trying to Read Xml File From Network Location . But It is Giving Exception Directory Not Found . Below Code I am Using For that .
                 Fname = txtwbs.Text;
                 DirectoryInfo objDir = new DirectoryInfo("Y:\\");

                 \\Y:\\
                 protected void ImageButton1_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
                 {
                 _xmlpath = objDir + "\\" + Fname + "\\" + Fname + ".xml";
                 if (File.Exists(_xmlpath ))
                  {
                   reader(_xmlpath);
                  }
                 }

Here Fname is Folder Name Also Xml Name .Whatever User Will Enter the Name of File .

A: You have this post tagged as both asp.net and asp-classic.  From your code example, I'm guessing asp-classic doesn't apply.
If you are running in ASP.Net, the system wouldn't know about the mapped drive you've created.  You should use the UNC path instead.  If you aren't running the site with Windows Authentication, you'll also need to impersonate someone who has access to the share, as your anonymous user most likely will receive "Access Denied" errors.
Finally, I don't believe you need the DirectoryInfo call - use Path.Combine()

A: Ideally, you should use the UNC Path to access the files. \\server\share\path\to\file

A: Grab this code: http://pastebin.com/RZnydz4Z
Then on the Application_Start of your global.asax put this:
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Utilities.Network.NetworkDrive nd = new Utilities.Network.NetworkDrive();
    nd.MapNetworkDrive(@"\\server\path", "Z:", "myuser", "mypwd");
}

Then just use like a normal network drive, like this:
File.ReadAllText(@"Z:\myfile.txt");

A: Identity impersonate has done the trick for me
......

 <system.web>
<identity impersonate="true" userName="yourdomain\yourusername"
    password="yourpassword" />
......
......

A: Use this API. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/6847/Map-Network-Drive-API
It the only way i have managed to do it in code.
Just modify the class, so it fits to you project.

A: Use a UNC path rather than a network drive and make sure the user running you application has permissions to access the folder and it's contents. "File not found" can mean wrong permissions or the path is just wrong.

Today marks the 90th anniversary of the premier of "Steamboat Willie", which Disney marks as the birthday of one Mickey Mouse. Mickey is a bit hard to write about, because what do you say? Walt was very good at writing a story, and his story about Mickey is more or less the story of the company itself. With Mickey as the company mascot, the two are so entwined that to tell the history of one precludes the other. Mickey is such an iconic symbol he is recognized across the world, as recognizable as the Buddha, Jesus, and the Coca-Cola logo.
But he's also a character.
He's been in shorts, in films, on TV, on radio, in comics– if Disney could make it, Mickey was on it. Lunch boxes. Toothbrushes. Gas masks. There is a definitive character to him, a distinctive "Mickeyness" that he has no matter where he is.
So let's delve into that.
Ready Player One Is the Epitome of Curative Fandom

I have wanted to talk about Ready Player One for a while, but I wanted the, for lack of a better word, "hype" to die down first so that there could be an attempt at a reasonable discussion. But there's one more thing that I feel I should do before getting into the themes and problems with the film, and that's to essentially deconstruct why it's not actually all that special.
So there's this movie, which is ostensibly about a corporation that is trying to take over a place in order to use it for commercial purposes. Doing so would disenfranchise a not insignificant portion of a marginalized population. But that is more or less background noise until the final fight– the main story is a mystery, where the main character searches for clues with the help of allies in order to solve it. Part of the gimmick of the film is the huge amount of references to classic media.
So there's this movie, which is about a group of five kids that are promised a prize unlike any other. A mysterious man guides them through a place of wonder and horror and fantasy. Our main character is a boy who is rather unremarkable in most respects, but his intuition and understanding of what makes the place wonderful is why the mysterious man thinks he is worthy of receiving the ultimate prize. The film also condemns those who lie, cheat, and steal to get ahead in life.
So there's this movie….
7 Classic Films That Would Not Exist Without 'Star Wars'

It's Star Wars Day, much to the delight of many and to the groans of people not impressed with puns. There's so much that has already been said about the franchise, so I'm going to talk about Star Wars by… not talking about Star Wars, and instead talking about its cultural influence. Of course, there has been a lot that's been said of that as well, but as the title suggests, Star Wars had its impact on the industry as well, for many reasons. Most of them having to do with Lucasfilm. The following films would not exist as we know them today without Star Wars, and some might not exist at all. The franchise's impact on the industry is, of course, far wider reaching than what I am going to cover here. From groundbreaking effects (that still hold up, by the way), to some iconic imagery, to the simple act of putting the credits at the end (leading to the ever popular Post Credits scene), so much was different after that Wednesday in late May of 1977. Here are six films that would not exist without Star Wars.
And I am talking about the Original Trilogy… we'll get to the prequels later.

Hannah Bunce married Ebenezer Watson, second publisher of the Connecticut Courant, which soon became a vehement advocate of the patriot cause and the most important pro-revolutionary voice in the colonies. The newspaper supplied battle descriptions from all of the colonies, analyses of significant events, and news of British events and criticisms of Parliament, while also calling for support and economic sacrifice from the colonists.
In December 1777 the young owner/publisher Ebenezer Watson took ill and died unexpectedly of smallpox. His widow Hannah, already burdened with the care of five children under the age of seven and an estate to settle, was 27 years old and had little or no training in publishing.
Nevertheless, Hannah Watson took over operation of the newspaper, making her one of the earliest female publishers in the United States. In desperation, she took on a partner George Goodwin - who at age 20 was already a twelve-year veteran of the Courant. Watson kept the paper on its regular publishing schedule for 16 months during the Revolutionary War.
Within a month disaster struck: Tory supporters (American colonists loyal to England) set fire to the mill that provided printing paper to the Courant and writing paper to the state of Connecticut. The paper mill had been co-owned by Ebenezer Watson and Sarah Ledyard, widow of Ebenezer's old partner, but until her husband's estate was settled, Hannah could do nothing.
Hannah Watson announced the imminent demise of the Courant, its last issue to be printed on February 3, 1778. Then in a last-ditch effort, Watson and Ledyard petitioned the Connecticut Assembly for financial assistance in rebuilding the mill. Within hours, the Assembly authorized the establishment of a state-wide lottery to rescue the paper. The lottery was a success and the mill was rebuilt.
The Connecticut Courant never missed an issue, and under Watson's leadership the newspaper (it became a daily paper in 1837 and was renamed the Hartford Courant) was financially successful and maintained a patriotic editorial policy.
On February 11, 1779, Hannah Watson married her next-door neighbor, successful businessman Barzillai Hudson. Eventually Hannah turned over her publishing duties to her new husband and retired to private life to raise her children.
Hannah Watson died on September 27, 1807, and was buried in the Old South Burying Ground in Hartford.
Hannah and her husband are buried beside each other in the Old South Burying Ground in Hartford, and Hannah has a sandstone monument with an ornamental cameo urn and willow carving that is typical of the period and the only one remaining in the cemetery today.
Watson has been recognized for her achievements today by inclusion in both the Connecticut Journalism Hall of Fame and the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame.

Was genau ist die Menopause?
Try to make the earth a better place
Question: Was genau ist die Menopause?
What are the signs of coming to the end of menopause?
When does menopause stop?
What is climacteric phase?
What is the maximum age for menopause?
Does menopause change your face?
Will I feel better after menopause?
Is Male Menopause Real?
Why is it called menopause?
What is the oldest woman to have a period?
How do I get rid of facial hair after menopause?
Do you age faster after menopause?
Does your face change after menopause?
At what age do guys go through menopause?
What is the male version of menopause called?
Can a woman still get pregnant after menopause?
Can you still get pregnant at 53?
Can your period come back after 5 years?
The most common symptoms include:Hot flashes. These cause you to feel a sudden rush of warmth in your face and upper body. Night sweats. Hot flashes during sleep can result in night sweats. Cold flashes. Vaginal changes. Emotional changes. Trouble sleeping.
In your 40s, your menstrual periods may become longer or shorter, heavier or lighter, and more or less frequent, until eventually — on average, by age 51 — your ovaries stop releasing eggs, and you have no more periods. Surgery that removes the ovaries (oophorectomy).
Climacteric is the period of life starting from the decline in ovarian activity until after the end of ovarian function. According to the definition, the period includes peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause.
If a woman is 55 or older and still hasnt begun menopause, doctors would consider it late-onset menopause. According to the Center for Menstrual Disorders and Reproductive Choice, the average age for menopause is 51. Menopause can often last well into a womans 50s.
Menopause causes many changes to your skin. Your body stops making as much collagen. You lose some fat under your skin and your skins elasticity drops. That, combined with dryness caused by hormonal changes, can cause sagging -- especially around the neck, jawline, and cheeks -- and fine lines and wrinkles.
Women are said to be post-menopausal when a year has elapsed since their last period. As hormone levels stabilise, either naturally or through Hormone Replacement Therapy, the symptoms disappear and many women feel better than they have in years.
The answer is yes. But male menopause is just one easy way to describe it. Male menopause is a condition that affects older men. It carries a set of symptoms that are linked to declining testosterone levels and aging.
"The word menopause comes from the Greek words menos, meaning month, and pause, meaning to cease. So, menopause means the monthly (the period) stops".
The median age at natural menopause was 50.9 yr. The oldest menstruating women were 57 yr old.
Based on the degree of growth, plucking, tweezing, threading, or waxing may do the trick. Your doctor can also prescribe a topical cream to slow the growth or refer you to a clinic that can perform electrolysis or laser treatment for hair removal.
Steve Horvath, professor of human genetics and biostatistics at University of California Los Angeles, and his team measured the changes in a group of womens DNA and concluded that the cells of women who had experienced menopause speed up aging processes by about 6%.
Male menopause involves a drop in testosterone production in men who are age 50 or older. Its often affiliated with hypogonadism. Both conditions involve lowered testosterone levels and similar symptoms.
The male menopause (sometimes called the andropause) is an unhelpful term sometimes used in the media. This label is misleading because it suggests the symptoms are the result of a sudden drop in testosterone in middle age, similar to what occurs in the female menopause.
After menopause, a woman no longer produces eggs and thus cannot become pregnant naturally. But although eggs succumb to this biological clock, pregnancy is still possible using a donor egg. Therefore, all of the women in the study had an egg from a younger woman implanted into her uterus.
While its not impossible to become pregnant naturally at 50, it is very rare. Women are born with all of the eggs they will ever have. As you get older, you have fewer eggs, and they are more likely to have abnormalities. Most women who get pregnant after 50 use donor eggs.
In most cases, postmenopausal bleeding is caused by issues such as endometrial atrophy (a thinning of the uterine lining), vaginal atrophy, fibroids, or endometrial polyps. The bleeding could also be a sign of endometrial cancer—a malignancy of the uterine lining, but only in a small number of cases.

Occupy Wall Street Activist Gets 90 Days In Jail For Assaulting Officer
Filed Under:Alex Silverman, Cecily McMillan, Martin Stolar, Occupy Wall Street, Zuccotti Park
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — An Occupy Wall Street activist convicted of assaulting a police officer was sentenced to 90 days in jail on Monday.
Cecily McMillan had faced as much as seven years in prison.
"I have been exhausted of almost everything that makes me me, with one key exception: my dignity," said the 25-year-old graduate student, jailed since the May 5 verdict in a case that she said showed "the personal is inseparable from the political."
McMillan apologized for injuring the officer, but defiantly proclaimed her innocence.
"I can say with certainly that I am innocent of the crime I was convicted of," she told Justice Ronald Zweibel in Manhattan Supreme Court. "I cannot confess to a crime I did not commit — in hopes that you will return to me my freedom."
Prosecutors said McMillan hit an officer in the face, misrepresented what happened and used her trial as "a grandstand for her political opinions," as Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Shanda Strain put it.
During her trial, McMillan told the jury she had been out drinking green beer for St. Patrick's Day on March 17, 2012, and she doesn't remember much of what happened that day.

— Alex Silverman (@AlexSilverman) May 19, 2014
But she claimed she went to Zuccotti Park to meet a friend, not to join the protest marking the six months since Occupy Wall Street began.
At some point, she got into an encounter with a police officer. A video shows her throwing an elbow in his eye. McMillan said she felt somebody trying to grab her breast from behind, and she reacted instinctively. She said police then roughed her up while arresting her as she suffered what she believed was a seizure.
The prosecutor called her story so unbelievable "that she might as well have said that aliens came down that night and assaulted her."
McMillan's case became a rallying point for Occupiers, and members of the once-jailed Russian punk group Pussy Riot have visited her behind bars. Director Spike Jonze, Sonic Youth bassist Kim Gordon, some City Council members and even several of the jurors who convicted her wrote to the court asking for leniency. More than 171,000 people have signed an online petition.
For all that, "a civil society must not allow an assault to be committed under the guise of civil disobedience," Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Ronald Zweibel said. "Ms. McMillan must take responsibility for her conduct."
McMillan's supporters overflowed the courtroom Monday, singing "We Shall Not Be Moved," a folk song recorded by Pete Seeger and long a protest staple, as they filed out afterward. More than 30 court officers lined the courtroom as well, an unusual show of crowd control that came after some spectators shouted "Shame!" when she was convicted.
"Ninety days at Rikers Island is ridiculous," one supporter told WCBS 880's Alex Silverman.
McMillan's lawyer, Martin Stolar, called the sentence excessive. He plans to appeal the verdict and ask for bail while the appeal plays out.
"She's suffered enough, she's been sentenced enough, she's been punished enough," Stolar said.
While more than 2,600 cases ensued from the protests over economic inequality, most involved misdemeanor or violation charges. Manhattan prosecutors agreed to dismiss more than 78 percent of some 2,644 Occupy-related cases. Most include the condition that defendants stay of trouble for six months.

The Chimurenga Library is an ongoing invention into knowledge production and the archive that seeks to re-imagine the library as a laboratory for extended curiosity, new adventures, critical thinking, daydreaming, socio-political involvement, partying and random perusal.
Curated by the editors and contributors of Chimurenga, the Periodicals Archive is an online project that profiles independent pan African paper periodicals from around the world. It focuses on cultural and literary magazines, both living and extinct, which have been influential platforms for dissent and which have broadened the scope for print publishing on art, new writing and ideas in and about Africa.
How do we forge communities, produce and circulate knowledge and operate in the border zones between informal/formal, licit/illicit, chaotic/ordered, etc? Our research has yielded an eclectic repository of stories and anecdotes, documents, artworks, images, sound and film footage, as well as books, magazines and albums. Our methodology is often closer to detective work, replete with entirely unexpected fortuitous coincidences, even encounters with ghosts, allegorical and otherwise.
The Library recognises people as knowledge and memory as the art of the stateless. It engages a politics of friendship; a process of discussion and discovery that takes place in various public spaces and contexts. Since 2009, we have used this methodology to stage interventions and major exhibitions in libraries and archives around the world, ranging from large public libraries to small community libraries and art spaces where people replaced books.
The Book Series catalogues long-research projects of the Chimurenga Library. Taking the form of research catalogues, collaborative novels and scrapbooks, the series both documents and extends Library's research.

In a world where the 2 billionth photograph has been uploaded to Flickr, which looks like an Eggleston picture! How do you deal with making photographs with the tens of thousands of photographs being uploaded to Facebook every second, how do you manage that? How do you contribute to that? What's the point?

People can talk about the death of social life or whatever; it's not necessarily how I see it. It's more musical in the sense, where it's a feeling about the place I live, slash, who I am in the place.

For me, photography is as much about the way I respond to the subject as it is about the subject itself.
Photography Way Subjects
[Photography is] very related to poetry. It's suggestive and fragmentary and unsatisfying in a lot of ways. It's as much about what you leave out as what you put in.
Photography Way Related
I find myself using music metaphors all the time, but this is too perfect, I feel like. Digital downloading is like photographs online. It's great, they're available, you can see lots of different work, but it's a limited experience of the form. A book is like an album. You don't have to have a million dollars to be able to buy it, you have to save some money, you have to buy your album, then you take it home, and you put it on your turntable.
Book Home Perfect
I didn't want to pretend to be a conceptual artist that charges $10,000 for an experience. It's just not what I am. I'm a photographer and I make prints. And people buy a print, and I understand that. But I'm uncomfortable with buying an experience.

Watching my daughter sort of live in this world where a photograph is not something to keep a memory. It's something to just speak with. It's language.
Daughter Memories World
In assembling this group of portraits of women, I'm aware that I'm treading on dangerous ground. When I was in college, I learned to be distrustful of men's depictions of women. I remember seeing Garry Winogrand's book Women Are Beautiful in the school library and being shocked that it hadn't been defaced for its blatant objectification of women. But looking back, maybe I was too harsh. Whether one photographs men or women, it is always a form of objectification. Whatever you say about Winogrand, his depiction was honest.
Beautiful Book School
I admire photographers that don't need a destination. In some ways, street photography is like that. There's a quality of wanderlust for sure in my work, but I need a destination.
Photography Quality Photographer
It's a weird combination that makes a great picture. It's a complete mystery to me.
Mystery Combination
Every once in a while I have this revelation like, "Wow, a hundred years ago the world wasn't black and white." It was in color. Photographed in a certain way, people look from another time. We are just not used to seeing ourselves in that context. Something that's fascinating about photography is you can isolate a moment, tear it out of its context, and see it afresh. Another realization is that, "Wow, there's a big world out there, and people are still doing all sorts of the things that they used to do." We don't just live in iPad land.

If limitation spawns creativity, is the limitless resource of the Internet a good thing?

I've never been the type of photographer to live with people I photograph. You know, shoot heroin with them, that kind of thing. I respect those photographers that work that way. But part of my personality is a certain amount of distance, and part of my attraction to the medium of photography is this distance where you're in the world, but you're removed from it.

Photography's future is infinite and bright. It's growing exponentially, so that's great, but for me as a practitioner, that exponential growth makes it even more problematic. And so for me, it's got me more engaged with storytelling.

For me, the act of photography is all about discovery and finding new things.
Photography Discovery Findings
The reason I often say, for me, photography is analogous to poetry, for my kind of work more so than journalism, is because it's so open to interpretation. And I'm very happy having different interpretations of it.
Photography Different Journalism
You can photograph anything. You can be inside, outside, doesn't matter, you're controlling the light. It gives you great flexibility. That was a primary motivation.
Motivation Giving Photograph
I fell in love with the process of taking pictures, with wandering around finding things. To me it feels like a kind of performance. The picture is a document of that performance.
Photography Falling In Love Wandering Around
I always say that photography's closest cousin is poetry because of the way it sparks your imagination and leaves gaps for the viewer to fill in.
Photography Cousin Imagination
This is the same problem I have with digital photography. The potential is always remarkable. But the medium never settles. Each year there is a better camera to buy and new software to download. The user never has time to become comfortable with the tool. Consequently too much of the work is merely about the technology. The HDR and QTVR fads are good examples. Instead of focusing on the subject, users obsess over RAW conversion, Photoshop plug-ins, and on and on. For good work to develop the technology needs to become as stable and functional as a typewriter.
Photography Technology Typewriters
I've never been comfortable photographing people I know, myself included. I guess I prefer the mystery of strangers.

The people that I photographed allowed me to photograph them because they didn't want to be alone, and the truth is I didn't want to be alone making the pictures.

Current representative: Rep. Frank Liberati (D-Allen Park) is the current representative for the 13th District. During the 2015-2016 session, he served on the Health Policy Committee and the Families, Children and Seniors Committee. According to the House Democrats, Liberati spent more than 15 years working as a marketing manager for two semi-trailer manufacturing companies, and he opened Liberati's Italian Deli and Bakery in 2001. He was elected in 2014.
A look at the 13th House District is here.
Liberati maintains a state House candidate committee, Friends of Frank Liberati, and a PAC, Liberati for Michigan. In March 2018, he launched a candidate committee for the state Senate, Frank Liberati for Senate. He later decided against running for the Senate.


This is a follow up on my previous post. The PTQ in Aarhus is over and I feel it's time to look back on how things shaped out for me.
With unlimited time and the intellect of a genius I guess anythings possible. Unfortunately I had neither, although I think less could have put me at the top. In the end the result was not a ticket to the Pro Tour, since I went 4-4 on the day of the PTQ. The final result put me at a 49th place out of a 150 participants.
When looking back I think I made a mistake when I constructed my deck. The cards to take it towards aggro where there, but I missed it and went into some midrange solution. The deck tried to do two different things, which I'm not interested in in general. I believe that the more uniform a decks plan is, the better it will perform.

Allegedly, the actress started a love affair with a new man who is associated with Jennifer Aniston. According to an insider, Jolie decided to build a relationship with her ex-husband's sworn opponent.
Sources report that Jolie and Theroux met at dinner in New York to discuss the new film. Allegedly, they can play in it together.
The publication Life & Style writes that the actors began to flirt and mutual sympathy arose between them. Now the media writes that Jennifer Aniston herself 'in shock' from what happened and she is not happy about the new relationship of her ex-spouse.


Bronwyn, Cooper, Nate, and Addy are all stereotypical high school kids. Cooper is the jock, Addy is the pretty one, Nate is the criminal, and Bronwyn is the smart one. So it makes sense that they are confused when they all get detention for something they didn't do. But their confusion morphs into bewilderment when Simon, the only other kid in detention, mysteriously drops dead.
This who-done-it mystery was very good. I could barely force myself to put the book down as I tried to figure who killed Simon. I loved watching how the relationship between the four teenagers develops as they try to figure it out. Even if you don't normally like mystery novels, you should read it because there is so much more than just a mystery in this book. Only if you pay the closest attention will you figure this insane mystery out.

Achieving Excellence: Leadership Development for Principals
2023 Leadership Symposium
At the helm of every Texas school is a strong leader who is equipped to support teachers, develop future leaders, create systems of change to ensure better outcomes for all students, and advocate for their school, community, and public education as a whole.
About Raising School Leaders
Research indicates a principal is second only to the classroom teacher in terms of impacting student learning and achievement. The our primary strategy for the Raising School Leaders program, and the Foundations first statewide program, consists of a week-long leadership development institute through The Principals' Center at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and yearlong participation in a community of practice focused on campus improvement and individual leadership development. Yet, the investment and support are much greater. All participants become part of an alumni network and receive professional development and connection through the annual Leadership Symposium.
Since 2008, the Foundation has sponsored over 1,400 school leaders to participate in a variety of professional development programs offered through The Principals' Center at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. These summer institutes inspire, challenge, and empower both new and seasoned campus leaders across Texas.
Leadership Symposium
The annual Leadership Symposium, co-presented by the Charles Butt Foundation and Raise Your Hand Texas, is a time for alumni from all of our PK12 statewide programs to rekindle personal and professional connections and enrich professional learning. Months of meticulous preparation unfold into three days of fellowship, presentations, breakout sessions, and dialogue on all things public education, with local, state, national, and global emphasis. The symposium inspires our alumni to broaden their scope of influence beyond their campus and to push their thinking and practice beyond its current state.
Leading schools through a third pandemic school year and a contentious political climate may very well be the greatest challenge of educators careers. This moment requires grace and courage as school leaders advocate for their students, teachers, and the profession. Together, the Charles Butt Foundation, Raise Your Hand Texas, and the alumni network remain united in a common purpose to build an equitable and prosperous future for all 5.5 million Texas schoolchildren. Reunite with us for three days of connection and learning grounded in this shared purpose.
Symposium Recap
Every district in the state has at least one principal who has participated in Raising School Leaders
Raising School Leaders participants reflect the diversity of the public school student population of Texas
Create and sustain a strong, connected network of educators across the state of Texas committed to learning and improving together, to meet the needs of all Texas students
If you are a past program participant of one of our state-wide programs and are looking for ways to stay connected and engaged, visit our Alumni Engagement page.

Good morning and happy Monday! Here's what you'll find in this week's newsletter:
The University of Iowa was recently recognized as a national leader in gender representation in leadership. See where they stack up against 129 other universities across the country.
Last week, Business Publications Corp. President and CEO Suzanna de Baca asked Iowa women who their everyday sheroes were. This week, she asks them what makes a shero.
We're halfway through Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Find ways to celebrate below.

UI a leader in women's representation in leadership, national study says

The University of Iowa was recognized as a national leader in gender representation in leadership in a January 2022 study by the Eos Foundation.
The study, called "The Women's Power Gap at Elite Universities: Scaling the Ivory Tower," examines the 130 public and private universities across the U.S that are ranked by the Carnegie Classification as having the highest level of research activity.
The study ranked the institutions by awarding points in three categories: having a woman as president or chancellor, having a woman as provost, and the percentages of women who are academic deans, serve on the president's cabinet and are tenured professors.
The points were weighted – 20 points for a current woman president, 10 points for each past woman president, 10 points for a current woman provost, 0.5 point for every 1% of women who are academic deans or tenured full professors, and 0.1 point for every 1% of women who are on the presidents' cabinet.
Once the institutions were ranked, the study placed them into categories indicating how well they're doing in working toward women's representation in university leadership. Universities that received 72 or more points were given the "leader" distinction. Those that scored between 62 and 71 were "almost there," those between 40 and 61 points were given the "work to do" distinction, and those that scored below 40 points were given the category of "needs urgent action."
Scoring 84.8 points, the University of Iowa ranked No. 4, behind the University of California-Santa Cruz, the City University of New York Graduate School and the University of New Hampshire. UI is led by President Barbara Wilson and has had two women previously serve as president – Sally Kay Mason from 2007 to 2015 and Mary Sue Coleman from 1995 to 2002. UI does not have a woman provost.
According to the study, 58% of academic deans at UI are women, 36% of Wilson's cabinet are women and 24% of tenured full professors are women.
"The University of Iowa has had a long, proud history of elevating the role of women, stretching back to its earliest days," Wilson said in a release. "I am excited to see women at this university develop into our next leaders, and I hope to serve as a role model as their university's president."
Iowa State University was also listed in the study with 51.5 points. ISU ranked No. 63 and was placed in the "work to do" category. Wendy Wintersteen currently serves as ISU's first woman president. According to the study, 25% of the academic deans, 71% of Wintersteen's cabinet and 24% of the tenured full professors at ISU are women.
Overall, women make up 22% of presidents, 38% of provosts, 39% of deans, 43% of presidents' cabinets and 27% of tenured full professors at the 130 institutions featured in the report. Women of color make up 5% of presidents, 6% of provosts, 8% of deans, 13% of cabinet positions and 6% of tenured full professors.

LEADING FEARLESSLY
What makes a shero?
BY SUZANNA DE BACA, PRESIDENT AND CEO, BUSINESS PUBLICATIONS CORP.
From top left: Michelle Bates, Brittani Dudley, Christine Her, Maria Ramos. From bottom left: Karla Walsh, Lindsey White, Shekinah Young.
Editor's note: Last week, BPC President and CEO Suzanna de Baca shared a column in which she asked women across the state about who their sheroes were. This week, they share what a shero does. She talked to:
Michelle Bates, chief innovation officer, Revology.
Brittani Dudley, the Urban Impact Show.
Christine Her, executive director, ArtForce Iowa.
Maria Ramos, human resources talent acquisition manager, AgState.
Karla Walsh, wellness, food and lifestyle freelance writer and freelance writing coach.
Lindsey White, control management senior manager, vice president, Wells Fargo Home Lending Business Controls.
Shekinah Young, global inclusion consultant, Principal Financial Group.
Sheroes help others. "A shero is one who feels fulfilled by helping others succeed in life," says Ramos. "She goes above and beyond without expecting anything in return, sees the best in people and encourages others to do better."
Sheroes lift as we climb. Walsh says, "In a world where women earn 82 cents to every dollar that men do, where we face more health care disparities and where the cards are very much stacked against us everywhere from politics to boardrooms, it's crucial for us to team up rather than tear each other down."
Sheroes challenge the status quo. "Sheroes are ordinary women who show up, call others into hard and uncomfortable conversations, and challenge the status quo," says Her, adding, "If we continue to support women, we're supporting change leaders who have the strength and kindness to impact communities where everyone flourishes."
Sheroes bring others along. "Leadership isn't about how well you do your job, but about how you inspire others around you and bring out the best in them," says White. "As a Black woman it is paramount for me to bring others alongside with me – to introduce them to new people, resources and opportunities and then help them be successful."
Sheroes embrace themselves and others. "As an over-50, openly gay woman in business and tech, entreprenuer, mom, wife and now 'granny,' I'm able to bring the tapestry of me to the table, because others have stepped out in strength and demonstrated authenticity at work and in life," says Bates. "For me, a shero is someone who embraces all parts of themselves and encourages others to do the same, resulting in an experience where all feel valued."
Sheroes share. "As women in corporate America, we have to be each other's biggest advocates and biggest fans," says Dudley. "Share in best practices you've learned, help educate other women on ways you've navigated through corporate America and help put them in a position that will develop their skill set … and continue to grow within leadership."
Sheroes empower others. "A shero empowers, encourages, advocates and mentors other women – especially younger women – who can all use a little praise, a little push and recognition," says Ramos. "She instills confidence in them, teaching them to never feel threatened or intimidated by another woman. She models how women can use each other's strengths to complement each other's weaknesses … and in that way, creates a pack of successful women leaders."
Sheroes are there for each other. "It's important to be there for other women because I am my sisters' keeper," says Young. "We live in a very competitive world; it's our default at times. When you notice your barriers to success are similar to your sister's, you grow to understand that her success is your success because you're making progress easier for each other – that's where the magic happens."

California solar firms head to the not-so-sunny East Coast
By Todd Woody on Jan 26, 2011
If solar panels work in the French Alps, the Northeast U.S. should be no problem at all.Photo: now picnicWe write quite a bit about solar power here at Grist's Green State, and given that this is a California-focused column, that's no surprise. Solar, to large degree, has been a West Coast thing — thanks to abundant sunshine, generous incentives, and a populace that leans green.
Now California's biggest solar installers are heading east, making bids to persuade homeowners in the not-so-sunny Northeast and mid-Atlantic states to shovel the snow off their roofs and install photovoltaic panels.
On Monday, Silicon Valley's SolarCity said it had acquired Clean Currents Solar, a Washington, D.C., solar installer, in a move to expand its operations to the nation's capitol and Maryland.
SolarCity is California's largest residential solar company by kilowatts installed. It also operates in Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, and Texas.
"This partnership should significantly increase solar and energy efficiency adoption in the mid-Atlantic region," Lyndon Rive, SolarCity's chief executive, said in a statement.
Meanwhile, SolarCity rival Sungevity last month raised $15 million from investors to launch its own East Coast expansion. Danny Kennedy, cofounder and president of the Oakland, Calif.-based startup, said Sungevity will target six Northeastern states. Likely candidates include Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
No coincidence that those states offer some of the more generous solar incentives or are contemplating doing so.
Those states are not the sunniest — then again, neither is Germany, the world's solar superpower. But financial innovation is more likely to encourage New England to go solar than sunshine or even falling prices for photovoltaic panels.
SolarCity pioneered the solar lease that allows homeowners to avoid the five-figure capital cost of installing a photovoltaic array and instead pay a monthly fee that can be less than the cost of electricity generated.
Sungevity followed suit last year and has seen its business explode. Kennedy told me that about 95 percent of the company's customers now opt for a solar lease.
Both SolarCity and Sungevity have hooked up with banks and utilities to create so-called tax equity funds to finance the leases. It's a complicated arrangement, but essentially the partnerships retain ownership and operation of the rooftop arrays and get the associated federal tax credits and any state incentives.
So far, such deals have proven popular and investors have poured several hundred millions of dollars into solar leasing in the west. Whether investors get the same feeling when they look to the east may determine whether solar panels begin to sprout on the roofs of New England colonials and Brooklyn brownstones.

On Monday, Oct. 19, 2015, Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Director Patrick Scheuermann, in an e-mail to MSFC employees, announced his retirement – effective November 13. A replacement has yet to be named.
NASA confirmed Scheuermann's retirement, via its MSFC Facebook page, on October 20.
Scheuermann has served as MSFC director since September 2012 when he took over from Robert Lightfoot, who was promoted to Associate Administrator at NASA Headquarters (HQ).
Lightfoot had served as MSFC director from August 2009 until his 2012 move to HQ.
As previously reported, Todd May, former Space Launch System (SLS) program manager, was recently promoted to MSFC deputy director, replacing Teresa Vanhooser who retired in August of this year.
May would now appear to be the leading candidate to assume the MSFC director position.

Scott earned both a Bachelor's Degree in public administration, and a law degree, from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. He currently practices law in the Birmingham suburb of Homewood. Scott first remembers visiting Marshall Space Flight Center in 1978 to get an up-close look at the first orbiter, Enterprise, which had been transported to Huntsville for dynamic testing. More recently, in 2006, he participated in an effort at the United States Space and Rocket Center (USSRC) to restore the long-neglected Skylab 1-G Trainer. This led to a volunteer position, with the USSRC curator, where he worked for several years maintaining exhibits and archival material, including flown space hardware. Scott attended the STS - 110, 116 and 135 shuttle launches, along with Ares I-X, Atlas V MSL and Delta IV NROL-15 launches. More recently, he covered the Atlas V SBIRS GEO-2 and MAVEN launches, along with the Antares ORB-1, SpaceX CRS-3, and Orion EFT-1 launches.
Great guy – from everything I have heard, he will be missed.


The State of Florida prescription drug database launches today. This database is intened to combat the increase in prescription drug crimes such as prescription fraud or doctor shopping. In a nutshell the law now requires pharmacies and dispensing physicians to upload information into the database within seven days of filling the prescription.
The database will allow doctors and pharmacists to view your medical history and see if you are attempting to obtain the same prescription that a different doctor has already prescribed. However, the doctors and pharmacists are not required to examine the database and it has yet to be seen whether or not they will do this voluntarily.
As a criminal defense attorney I have seen an incredible increase in arrests for prescriptions drugs like oxycontin, xanax, and valium. I am not sure if this database will lead to a decrease in use and abuse of these drugs or if it will simply give law enforcement another tool to target the addict who exhibits drug seeking behavior. The database does not prevent the sale of durgs on the black-market nor does it stop the unscrupulous doctor from over prescribing this powerful medication.

AOL Continues Push to Rival Google and Facebook With Millennial Media Buyout
Mike Shields
Sep 3, 2015 10:49 am ET
Conventional wisdom is that Facebook and Google are poised to dominate mobile advertising for years to come. Well, Verizon Communications Inc. is making a play to join that elite list.
After recently completing a $4.4 billion acquisition of AOL, the telecom giant is adding mobile advertising expertise with the announcement Thursday that it is purchasing Millennial Media.
Executives at AOL believe the deal, valued at $238 million including net debt, cements a great ad tech offering. Between Verizon's rich data on its wireless customers, AOL's large base of advertisers and ad-selling software and Millennial Media's access to a big pool of mobile ad inventory, "we can offer an alternative to Facebook and Google," said AOL president Bob Lord.
The deal's price is a sign of how some of the hype around mobile ad networks has faded. Millennial Media was valued at over $1 billion just a few years ago. Its initial public offering price in 2012 was $13 and it is selling to Verizon for $1.75 per share.
The offer is a 31% premium to Millennial Media's closing price on Wednesday of $1.34 a share.
According to eMarketer, Millennial Media is expected to pull in $101.2 million in mobile ad revenue in the U.S. this year, up 3.5% compared to 2014. That puts Millennial Media's share of the mobile ad market at just 0.3%, according to research firm eMarketer.
Skeptics of companies like Millennial Media have pointed to their emphasis on selling banner ads on the mobile Web, a tactic many advertisers are steering away from. Mr. Lord said that's an outdated impression of the company. "There's a lot more here than mobile Web," he said. "It's a very data rich asset."
Not only has Millennial invested heavily in automated, or "programmatic" technology for mobile ads, he said, but the company has a big footprint in the mobile app space.
According to Don Kennedy, AOL's president of advertiser platforms, Millennial has "software development kits' baked into close to 70,000 apps," meaning that app developers use Millennial's software for analytics and ad delivery, among other things.
"If you really look at what is happening in the smartphone market...something like 84% of people's time on mobile devices is (spent) in apps," said Mr. Kennedy.
Mr. Kennedy also pointed to AOL's acquisition of the ad tech company Convertro last year as being integral to making this deal work. Convertro helps advertisers determine which ad tactics are performing best across a given campaign, and also helps them gauge the effectiveness of media spend across channels, such as desktop and mobile devices.
With Convertro, Millennial, and Verizon-AOL's other ad technology assets, the company believes it will be able to paint a full picture for advertisers of how their ads are working, much like Facebook and Google aspire to do.
"That's the vision," said Mr. Kennedy.
Is AOL done shopping for ad tech? Mr. Lord said the company is always talking to different vendors in the space, though no other deals are imminent. "If you look at mobile, there are roughly 7 billion users today, and by 2020 there should be 9 billion globally. So there are going to be a lot more opportunities for us."

We work with organisations and project teams who want to work collaboratively and need to understand each other better so you can generate creative ideas. We can support you with specific meetings, conferences and events by designing a process so that the event runs to time, is productive and gets everyone involved.
We will help you when you have stuck as a team and you need someone neutral to get you back on track. We work across the UK and Europe, running purposeful and effective conferences, workshops, events and meetings.
Your team needs direction and focus in these times of uncertainty. By meeting together and working on a strategy together you will all take more ownership of the plan and increase your ability as a team to really pull together in the same direction.
Centre for Facilitation runs collaborative, innovation labs for the academic and business communities resulting in radical idea generation.
Involving facilitators in your business critical large conferences and sales events will keep them focused, give everyone a voice and amke sure that something happens as a result.
If you are going to consult with the public, your employees or wider stakeholders you want to be sure that all the views are captured. Sometimes only the loudest voices get heard in consultation sessions. This can result in really bad decisions being made! For critical consultations a professional facilitator will make sure that decisions are based on valid evidence and are a true reflection of the opinions of your important stakeholders.
Do your meetings seem to last too long and with too little result? Do you have away days that never address the real issues? Would you benefit from a neutral person getting involved to work with you to get your meetings to be time efficient and engaging?
The skills to facilitate can be learnt and developed by people in your own organisation.


The Empowering Teaching Excellence Seminar Series features speakers selected from USU's faculty and occasional visiting guest speakers. Topics pertain to various aspects of effective teaching and primarily focus on practical application, learned through experience, by seasoned teachers.
From the Mohr & Mohr (2017) article downloaded over 6600 times in the Journal on Empowering Teaching Excllence, this session provides an update on the topic of teaching Gen-Z/Digital Native students. Helping students appreciate that educated people have always had to negotiate The Past and The Present to fashion The Future can empower a new generation of students to wield the twin literacies of both print and digital. The goal of this session is to equip instructors with ways to relate to and support the newest generation of learners in the college classroom.
If you're interested in presenting on a topic in the ETE Seminar Series, you can now propose a session. We are accepting proposals for a limited time for seminars to be held in upcoming Fall and Spring semesters. Please access the survey to propose an ETE Seminar by clicking the button below.
With the limited "seat time" instructors have with students, it's important to maximize learning during class time. There are a variety of instructional strategies that instructors can use to keep students engaged and present during lecture. Instructors don't have to completely revamp course curriculum or assessments, rather insert small changes that will make an immediate difference. Engage students now by using evidence-based approaches to teaching and learning.
USU has many faculty members who have effectively implemented high impact practices, sometimes abbreviated as "HIPs," both in and out of the classroom. These faculty are having a direct impact on the quality of the student experience, and faculty involved with HIPs report greater satisfaction and enthusiasm in teaching. Empowering Teaching Excellence (ETE) is excited to present a seminar led by Heidi Kesler, Dr. Norm Jones and Dr. Harrison Kleiner focused on impactful teaching practices. Whether you are new to HIPs or you have been engaging in these practices throughout your tenure, you will benefit from attending this ETE session. You will leave the session with a clearer understanding of how to define, implement, and measure your impactful teaching practices.
Through Community-Engaged Learning, faculty can help accomplish USU's goal to prepare Citizen Scholars who participate and lead in local, regional, national and global communities. Students are given the opportunity to apply course content while addressing real community-identified needs. Faculty often claim that Community-Engaged Learning courses offer students an opportunity to better internalize course materials, and lead to deeper student engagement and meaningful class discussion.
Any USU course can be designated as Community-Engaged Learning/Service-Learning (SL) in Banner. The SL designation (course attribute) indicates that the course involves community-engaged teaching or research. The designation can apply to all sections of a course or an individual section and specific instructor. Before courses can receive the SL designation, faculty complete a brief online Community-Engaged Learning course designation form, outlining the learning outcomes, community-engaged work, and reflection. Submitted forms and syllabi are reviewed by the Community-Engaged Learning Faculty Advisory Board each semester for the upcoming semester.
In higher education student persistence continues to pose challenges even though it has been studied from many angles for the past 40 years. To address these challenges, faculty at the Utah State University Uintah Basin Regional Campus have implemented a mentoring program. The goal of the program is for faculty to mentor students in a manner that helps students feel more connected to the social and educational community of USUUB. Learn how faculty are helping students feel more connected, and helping students achieve their educational goals.
If you would like to attend this event via IVC, please contact Travis Thurston travis.thurston@usu.edu to schedule an IVC room at your location.
Don't stop lecturing! Research shows that lecturing is one of the best ways to teach novice learners (also known as first year students). Come explore how to maximize the effectiveness of your lecture by activating prior knowledge, zooming in on the most important concepts, integrating brief opportunities to reflect and process information, effectively using multi-media, and incorporating retrieval practice opportunities. You'll walk away with several easy to implement strategies designed to increase learning.
Teaching is not without its risks. Education exposes students to new concepts and challenges existing assumptions, so controversy and confrontation can be inevitable. When it happens, how should a teacher to respond? This seminar addresses that question. A panel of experienced faculty will facilitate discussion around true-to-life case scenarios, share how they responded, and what the results were. Bring your insights and leave better prepared.
Students for whom English is not a first language are no longer an uncommon phenomenon for many institutions of higher education in the U.S. The types of support that a university offers to help English language learners is crucial to their academic and social success. Faculty members across campus should also understand what challenges these students have and what kind of support they need in order to succeed at the university. A panel of faculty members from the Intensive English Language Institute will share their experiences working with language learners and offer suggestions on how to facilitate their success in the classroom and beyond.
-Making use of faculty resources, tools, and materials to facilitate student success at USU.
Faculty mentoring plays a significant role in students having a successful college experience. Students who view their instructors as mentors are more engaged in the coursework, express greater satisfaction in the course, and are more likely to persist toward graduation. Mentoring is both an art and a skill that can be learned. This ETE panel will discuss what has worked and what hasn't worked in a variety of mentoring programs and situations. Learn from faculty who are making a real impact on students through their mentoring.
MOOCs are a thing of the past, and many parties within and outside of higher education (media, government entities, foundations) have turned their attention to competency-based education (CBE). As with MOOCs, the hope is that CBE will lower costs, increase access, and improve outcomes—and the fear is that those who don't adopt it will lose relevance and market share if new programs scale quickly.
Feeling beset by "disruption" fatigue—but fearful of dismissing a model with the potential to spur gains in enrollment and student success—higher education leaders are struggling with how fast and how far their institutions should venture into CBE.
Based on interviews with over 100 experts and practitioners, this presentation aims to separate the hype from what's really working. We examine CBE's primary objectives, the most prevalent myths in the field, and which factors are likely to accelerate CBE's competitive threat to current higher education programs.
What lessons have CBE's early adopters learned from their experiences?
Under what circumstances, and for what institutions, is personalized learning the right fit for an institution?
What pedagogical elements of competency-based education can be replicated within traditional program structures?
Higher education promises to be a vehicle for economic and social mobility; however, this promise increasingly goes begging as our institutions are structured to reinforce existing inequalities, with engagement, persistence, and achievement still closely tied to affordability. The oft-heard institutional claim to be student-centered is similarly hypocritical, as it is usually faculty, accreditation requirements, and budgetary constraints that dictate both the structure and content of the learning experience. It is against the backdrop of such paradoxes that open education practices have emerged as a transformational force in higher education.
Open educational practices (OEP) encompass the creation, adaptation, and adoption of open educational resources, open course development, and even the design of renewable assignments where students are empowered as co-creators of knowledge. OEP represents a truly learner-centered approach to education that radically enhances both agency and access. This presentation will draw on a diverse set of examples to make a case for why the shift away from traditional (closed) practices is not only desirable but also inevitable, and how OEP support the modern university's mission by serving both social justice and pedagogical innovation.
This hand-on workshop is designed to help you locate relevant and high quality open educational resources (OER) for adoption in your classes. Attendees will become familiar with large, curated repositories for OER (including open textbooks, images, and videos) and will learn how to use Pressbooks, a popular open-source platform, to create, revise, or remix OER.
The panel will address the curriculum and processes used to help students make informed judgments in areas of objective and subjective truth in the classroom. The panel will explore ways we build on the skills students develop in general education as they continue into their major. General topics will include instructional methods at the curriculum and teaching level that help students think critically and incorporate multiple viewpoints, "in-the-trenches" experience dealing with classroom issues and challenges relating to the nature of objective and subjective truth, and how to identify and address the hidden curriculum in our courses.

Learning Circles are small communities of faculty that meet on a regular basis during a single semester. Each community reads a particular book or set of articles on learning and teaching and engages in discussion at each of their sessions. Learning Circles are open to all faculty, adjuncts and graduate instructors. All participants can earn an ETE10 Engage badge at the end of the semester.
Learning Circles are listed along with ETE Seminars and workshops in the full ETE events calendar on AggieSync.
Several past Empowering events have been recorded and are available for viewing. After viewing a past event, instructors can submit a reflection of takeaways, and earn an ETE10 Engage level badge for that event.


Running a business always involves risks. The sooner you understand this, the more prepared you are to reduce or eliminate your exposure to these risks and safeguard the things you've worked hard for—especially your family home.
It's not always smooth sailing running a business. When times get rough, you may need the assistance of creditors and lenders. This is a reality in business ownership and management.
Also known as "the couple's strategy" as it typically involves a spouse, this asset protection method is done when you give majority of your family home ownership to your spouse (or, if you're single, to family or a person you trust) who faces less or no risk of litigation and other legal attacks from creditors.
Bear in mind that you must still retain some interest in your family home so you're sure that your property can't be pursued without your consent or authority.
This method helps you effectively disassociate yourself from your family home, thus reducing the risk of losing it to your creditors.
This method works by making available very little equity in your family home to an external party.
A caveat: as the value of your property rises and as equity is also built in it, expect a greater risk of exposure to your creditors. You can mitigate this by regularly refreshing the charge and seeing to it that not much equity is made available to someone with a litigation or legal attack threat.
Besides the asset protection it offers, a service entity also allows for tax advantages. This can be done by establishing the service entity's ownership (or a degree of ownership) on some of your assets—business equipment, manufacturing plants, or even some ownership of your residence, too.
By separating these assets, you limit the risk of losing them to someone who launches a legal attack against you due to, say, him or her receiving faulty goods or services from you.
Since the said assets are owned by another legal "person"—your service entity—it can then be argued and established that the individual launching the legal attack cannot pursue these assets as he or she has never had dealings with your service entity (that owns said assets); instead, he or she has had dealings with you.
Bear in mind though that the taxation authorities keep a very close watch on the rates service entities are paid, so make sure payments made are appropriate and never only artificial.
As self-explanatory as it is important, thoroughly understanding the system helps you determine your own asset protection needs, and then develop a comprehensive asset protection plan to safeguard your family home and other assets.
When someone sues you, their lawyer usually pores through the asset registry. If your name's not listed with your asset, there's nothing they can pursue—it's that simple. And even if your name's on it, but the asset comes with mortgages and other legal/financial challenges and/or complications, their lawyer would deem it unwise to pursue said asset.
Here, a thorough understanding of how you can "work around" the system legally springs from thoroughly understanding the system itself. Simply, it's doing your homework and doing it well.
Multiple structures allow you to fortify the walls of your maze that safeguards your assets. This means you separate risks of being sued with your assets by determining which asset or property goes to which trust.
For example: if you own a property—say your family home—put up one trust for it. Establish a second trust for your trade shares, and another trust for your business.
The separate trust systems enable you to reduce risks and exposure while allowing you to maximise on the advantages and benefits each trust offers.
Always bear in mind that the most successful asset protection systems are planned long before any complications arise. If you haven't yet, now is the best time to start identifying your asset protection needs and then developing the asset protection scheme that best suits these needs. As cliché as it may sound, it's true the good times are still the best time to prepare for tough days ahead.
