Why "borrow/loan" can become a key function in an Integrated Talent Strategy
I recently participated in a panel discussion at the 2019 Australasian Talent Conference (#ATC2019) to examine what a forward leaning Integrated Talent Strategy would look like.
We discussed five strategies – "Buy", "Build", "Borrow", "Bridge" and "Bots" and how these Talent strategies will enable companies to secure the skills they need, overcome the Talent shortages and allow them to compete successfully in a digital age.
What became clear from the feedback after the session was many companies were unaware of the "Borrow/Loan" strategy and how to employ it in their organisation, so I figured the time is right to demystify this commonly used, yet rarely understood tactic.
What is it?
"Borrow/Loan" is when a business fulfils Talent requirements by borrowing the available staff of another business to complete work, and vice versa loaning available staff to support another business for a project, specialist requirement or for a surge period.
This is nothing new as companies have been successfully using this tactic for decades to get work completed.
So why the confusion?
It comes down to how it is described.
Contracting, subcontracting, secondments, consulting and outsourcing are all methods of "Borrow/Loan" that you have most likely used already.
They all might be described differently but they are essentially all the same – someone else's employee is completing a body of work for your business when you need them to.
Putting on a different pair of lens
When we look at this in the above mentioned way, most businesses I have spoken to are comfortable with the "borrow" function, but, they will dismiss the "loan" function because "that is just not how we operate because we aren't a consulting firm".
However, when you dismiss the "loan" function, you diminish your workforce agility – an important ingredient in today's everchanging and unpredictable work environment.
"Borrow/Loan" is the one strategy that can empower a business to manage the peaks and troughs of the business cycle, which astonishingly, has become a commonly accepted business problem.
Someone actually said to me once, "That is just the way business is. Everyone experiences peaks and troughs. We just hope we can survive long enough through the troughs to make it back to the peaks."
I just can't understand why a business would accept that as a problem when they actually have the means to manage or solve it.
How can a "Borrow/Loan" strategy help?
What it allows you to do is smooth out the peaks and troughs with paid contracts for your staff during the lulls, when their isn't enough business coming in.
It also allows you to access to hidden Talent to support during the peaks, when you have too much work and not enough staff.
The benefits of employing this strategy are enormous:
- Maximise revenue while decreasing overheads providing significant cashflow improvements;
- Provide your staff with job stability allowing you to invest in them for the long term and create the strongest teams for your projects;
- Maintain corporate knowledge and minimise employee turnover;
- Improve employee engagement and professional development by allowing your staff to use their full set of skills and experience new ways of working inside new business networks;
- Diversify your business by creating new relationships in other industries that might require your company's capabilities which can expand your market; and
- Access the largest untapped Talent pool in the country – The Happily Employed. We are all fighting over the Talent in the job seeker pool (which is approx. 2.4m people) and scream about Talent shortages, yet there are nine million happily employed people of which three million are regularly underutilised.
Getting employee buy-in
Most businesses will immediately be concerned about how their employees will react to this strategy. Actually, most will just assume their employees won't want to do it without even raising it with them.
That is disappointing considering the market evidence suggests only positive responses from employees who undertake this kind of work.
Consider what you have learned about the expectations of the younger generations entering the workforce. They want:
- To work on things with impact;
- Flexibility and the ability to work on diverse projects and they are regularly multi-skilled.
Given this, they are highly likely to embrace this kind of working which creates a win/win for themselves and the business.
Many businesses actually use this strategy as a professional development tool which employees see as a personal benefit.
Short-term contracts give their staff a change of scenery, so they don't become stale and demotivated, the ability to work on exciting new projects they have never had access to as well as supports them extending their own professional networks.
Businesses looking to employ this tactic should consider the following to ensure a smooth, collaborative process:
- Use online platforms to provide the widest possible visibility of available contracts and employees;
- Protect your proprietary information through a Non-Disclosure Agreements;
- Review contract agreements to ensure they contain standard non-solicitation clauses to protect your employees, as well as IP protection clauses; and
- Seek advice from professionals in the industry.
The "Borrow/Loan" strategy can be a key to balancing your future workforce and will provide your organisation with the flexibility of the gig economy but coupled with the stability of full-time employment.
One of the main outcomes I got from ATC2019 was this – with record Talent shortages, the promise of automation, constant transformation and today's workforce looking to engage attractive projects on their own terms – it is no longer a question of simply finding Talent.
With the right implementation and buy-in, your business can use "Borrow/Loan" to balance and stabilise your Integrated Talent Strategy and take your business to the next level.

Developing Organisational & Employee Resilience
Small Acts of Persistence
Developing Organisational and Employee Resilience
One of the key pillars of personal wellbeing is the ability to overcome setbacks and challenges. Being able to do this develops our sense of self-belief and our resilience. Resilience is a mental toughness, it is the ability to bounce back from setbacks in our lives as well as the ability to cope with and overcome challenges we face in our lives. One of the key traits that all successful people have is resilience.
A strong belief that comes from within that they have the capacity to overcome obstacles and not only survive setbacks, but also thrive in the face of these challenges.
Organisations that support employees to overcome setbacks, not only develop the self-belief and competence of these employees but also define a value system of systemic resilience that will overcome all challenges. We all experience setbacks from time to time in our lives, both personally and professionally. Overcoming these allows us to grow and learn as well as developing a belief in our own abilities.
We learn more from failing than we do succeeding. It's great to succeed at what we do, however in order to gain success, it is often necessary to first fail. Failure is more challenging. Failure asks us to look at ourselves and assess where we went wrong, what we could do better the next time and how we can perform better.
We learn more from failing than we do succeeding. It's great to succeed at what we do, however in order to gain success, it is often necessary to first fail. Failure is more challenging. Failure asks us to look at ourselves and assess where we went wrong, what we could do better the next time and how we can perform better.
Many of us become stuck in our personal and professional lives because we are afraid of trying new things and failing. Whether it's a new hobby or a new initiative in work. How many of us are holding on to an idea, not sharing it with anyone because we are afraid that if we try it and it fails we won't be able to overcome the disappointment or even perceived consequences.
Even more of us become stuck in our daily routines, feeling frustrated and lacking drive and purpose. This can be for a variety of reasons, but one of the most common ones again is a lack of self-belief to overcome setbacks when we take on new challenges.
Very often, these feelings are as a result of our own limiting beliefs. Our internal narrative or the story we tell ourselves, shapes not only our perceptions of the world around us, but also our perceptions of ourselves in the world. More often than not, it is our own limiting beliefs that become our biggest obstacles and prevent us from achieving what we want most.
To achieve anything in our lives we need to be willing to take the inevitable setbacks along the way. Organisations can play a big role in helping employees develop their self-belief by encouraging new ideas and helping employees plan for success in the workplace. Feeling supported helps us explore new ideas, risk setbacks and develop ourselves personally, which in turn benefits the organisation.
Helping to create a better workplace culture is important. There are many ways you can introduce resilience in the workplace.
Look at online courses for training your employees, foster open dialogue in the workplace and promote good work/life balance practices.

The Democracy Collaborative is a left-of-center organization that advocates for the transition of the United States economic system from a free-market economy to government-controlled socialism. It supports government ownership and control of industries like health care, utilities, and transportation, and the group proposes the creation of a "welfare state" that guarantees a minimum income level for all Americans. [1]
The Democracy Collaborative calls for a new system based upon sexual, gender, and racial justice and the elimination of "mass incarceration." [2]
Democracy Collaborative was credited with having worked with self-described socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) economic plan for his 2020 Presidential campaign. [3]
The Democracy Collaborative was founded in 2004 and advocates left-wing positions focusing on a dramatic expansion of government control of business and private life. These practices include the seizure of private business and formation of government-run institutions[4] controlled and owned by a diverse demographic workforce. [5] One of its many goals is to "repurpose" the conventional energy, aerospace, and defense industries towards "alternative production" in line with left-wing social policy goals. [6] It further cites traditional economics as the cause of African Americans remaining poor and disconnected from success in recovering cities like Pittsburgh. [7]
The Democracy Collaborative supports replacing private ownership of business with ostensibly "worker-owned" cooperatives that would allow employees or labor unions to control the company and to elect the members of the board. [8]
Ted Howard
Ted Howard is a longtime socialist advocate who is the president and co-founder of Democracy Collaborative. [9]
Socialist Views
Ted Howard is a left-leaning environmentalist and socialism proponent who has complained that people are more able to conceptualize the end of the world than the end of capitalism. [10] Howard has criticized progressive-liberal Democrats like President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama as equally complicit with conservative Republicans President Ronald Reagan and President George W. Bush in supporting the capitalist system. He sees traditional progressive-liberal policies as failed and insufficient in achieving the necessary aims of redistribution of wealth and calls for "an all-out attack on racism, racist leadership, and the so-called alt-right," which also include current Republican leadership. [11]
Associations with Jeremy Rifkin
Ted Howard is connected in several ventures with Jeremy Rifkin. Howard and Rifkin co-founded the Foundation on Economic Trends which primarily focuses on combatting climate change and protecting the environment against modern technologies. [12] They also co-authored three books focusing on environmentalism concerns. [13]
Rifkin is a highly influential economic advisor to global government leaders. Critics have labeled Rifkin an apocalypse abuser for his environmentalist doomsday claims. Rifkin authored a book called the New Green Deal calling for people to stop using fossil fuels in order to save the planet. [14] He has been described as a far-left environmental activist opposing capitalism and technology. [15]
Other People
Gar Alperovitz is a co-founder of Democracy Collaborative. [16] Alperovitz is an octogenarian that has sought socialist economic transformation for decades. [17] He authored the book America Beyond Capitalism and is a professor of political economy at the University of Maryland. [18]
John Duda is the director of communications and has written in favor of changing ownership of businesses from shareholders to employees. He espouses the idea that a tiny minority of rich people are the ones who benefit the most from the current capitalist system as they own stocks. Duda recommends a change where employees own the corporations. [19]
Peter Gowan is a fellow of Democracy Collaborative who advocates for the expansion of government by nationalizing a wide array of industries including rail transportation, utilities, health care, banking, child care, and education. Gowan claims that there should be a guaranteed minimum income that also provides for families, the elderly, and the disabled. [20]
Michael Hudson[21] is on the board for Democracy Collaborative and a professor of economics at the University of Missouri–Kansas City and at the School of Marxist Studies, Peking University. [22]
Hudson has proposed that the government create nationalized banks that would serve customers from post offices. He believes that the government should supplant large banks like Citibank and Chase for local banking needs. Hudson attests that costs for services like water, sewer, electricity, education and cable television should be eliminated from the marketplace and provided by the government. He has further argued for replacement of private property with government-provided housing. [23]
The Democracy Collaborative's Healthcare Anchor Network affiliate seeks to reorient certain businesses spending towards the communities of which they reside. [24] The Healthcare Anchor Network focuses on shifting the healthcare industry's procurements of over $50 billion per year to local companies. It believes that a variety of services like laundry, catering, and construction can be purchased locally, which would foster community stability. Kaiser Permanente is a member of the Healthcare Anchor Network. [25]
Created to address what it describes as the current systemic challenges from the United States capitalist tradition, the Next System Project cites climate change, racial injustice, and economic inequalities as critical reasons to revamp the economic system for one in which a radically different govenrment-run solution will dominate. Leadership of the Next System Project includes socialists like Gar Alperovitz, John Duda and Michael Hudson. [26]

Entrepreneurship is increasingly considered the most efficacious economic development intervention, but employing research-informed efforts is important. Extensive literature links the perception of a local culture's intolerance of business failure to extinguishing of entrepreneurial intention in a community. Some research refutes that link. This study investigated the influence of perceived failure intolerance (PFI) on entrepreneurial intention—and the influence of self-efficacy on perceived failure intolerance—in the rural Midwestern United States. The study employed a modified Delphi methodology to analyze the decision-making processes of potential entrepreneurs as interpreted by experts in rural entrepreneurship. The study provides data about the interaction of human capital and entrepreneurship, for more effective support of potential entrepreneurs. The study concludes that PFI is not a critical hindrance to entrepreneurial intention in potential entrepreneurs in the rural Midwest, but PFI can discourage certain types of people from becoming potential entrepreneurs. Communities can intervene to increase the likelihood of developing collective entrepreneurial intention.

Booth, Alison L (2009) 'Gender and competition.' Labour Economics, 16 (6). pp. 599-606. ISSN 0927-5371Full text not available from this repository.
In almost all European Union countries, the gender wage gap is increasing across the wage distribution. In this 2008 presidential lecture I briefly survey some recent studies aiming to explain why apparently identical women and men receive such different returns and focus especially on those incorporating psychological factors as an explanation of the gender gap. Research areas with high potential returns to further analysis are identified. Several examples from my own recent experimental work with Patrick Nolen are also presented. These try to distinguish between the role of nature and nurture in affecting behavioural differences between men and women that might lead to gender wage gaps.

We love that you're already here reading our Workers' Comp blog, so before I go any further, let me say thank you for reading. But, there's more where this came from. Collins & Lacy has five blogs in the blogosphere, three of which provide a myriad of information and updates on workers' comp law, products liability and hospitality law in South Carolina. We also have two other blogs by two of our attorneys who hold some pretty prominent positions within the S.C. legal world. Here's a quick rundown of it all.
1) The Retail & Hospitality Law Blog is maintained by shareholder Christian Stegmaier. It is a blog for retailers and hospitality-related entities doing business in South Carolina. Stay up-to-date with the latest trends in the law and marketplace that affect you and your business in the Palmetto State.
2) The SC Products Liability Law Blog has a wealth of info. This blog is meticulously maintained by Brian Comer, the chair of the products liability practice group at Collins & Lacy P.C. Visit it often to find out the latest updates on industry happenings. It can prove to be an excellent resource for anyone with a knowledge of, or trying to increase knowledge of the products liability realm. This site also provides forecasts into the industry and tips acquired while practicing law.
3) Jack Griffeth: A Man With a Stamp on Life and Law is the blog maintained by Jack Griffeth of Collins & Lacy's Greenville office. The commentary is colorful and informative. It provides current information on law in the Palmetto State from his perspective, as well as an abundance of information about the Greenville Bar Association, of which Jack is the 2011 President. You can also find out about Jack's stamp, which he uses to brand his personal communications with friends, family and colleagues.
4) And finally, In His Defense: The Adventures of Gray Culbreath, has the musings of Collins & Lacy's Managing Partner Gray Culbreath. He's a husband, father of three, youth girls basketball coach, globe-trotter and the President of the South Carolina Defense Trial Attorneys' Association. Here you can find "where Gray is," stumble upon scores of Wofford athletics, and even find reactions and personal commentary on SCDTAA meetings and other trial defense information. It's his blog and his adventures, in his own words.

Kokoro Dance delves deeper into human existence with intense new piece Embryotrophic Cavatina
In Kokoro Dance's subterranean new KW Studios space, four still figures are coming to life slowly, ever so slowly, as if they are emerging from the primordial ooze.
Jay Hirabayashi stands, knees bent, with laser focus, while Barbara Bourget lies in a fetal ball; Molly McDermott is collapsed over her knees on the floor and Billy Marchenski is flat on his back, legs splayed. To the sobbing strings and horns of Zbigniew Preisner's Requiem for My Friend, their seized limbs begin to move.
We have witnessed the three-decade-old Vancouver company take on themes of birth and death before; as interpreters of Japanese butoh, that will always be the substance of their work. And we have seen Kokoro dancers move with this slow but intensely committed action over the years. But what Kokoro has never quite done before is choreograph four separate but simultaneous solos, as Bourget and Hirabayashi do here, in this section of their new, full-length Embryotrophic Cavatina.
"We've developed a lot of material and we have to figure out where it fits together, where there are resonances and interconnections," says Hirabayashi, who explains that the four have built the solos as a group.
"It's something I remember early in my career that Balanchine did," explains Bourget, who once trained at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. "It was really intricate and precise and complex at the same time."
Bourget was drawn by the metaphorical value of staging simultaneous solos. "In life we have different paths. We share some things and we don't share others," she says, still breathing hard after the rehearsal. "You're born, you become a teenager, you marry and have children.…If you take our four children, their paths have been incredibly different, even though they've been interconnected. Now we have five grandchildren and we're seeing it repeat itself.
"Dance really does that the best: it's really expressing what it is to be human."
In a way, that's always what Kokoro has tried to express. But now, with Bourget 67 and Hirabayashi 70—both preternaturally youthful—the theme is coming into sharper focus. "You do get a certain wisdom as you age—even though you make the same mistakes," says Bourget with a laugh.
Embryotrophic Cavatina swirls with these ideas of mortality and the ups and downs of life—"pain and joy and everything in between", as Bourget puts it. It's a piece the duo has been working on, intermittently, for the past 20 years. A major inspiration was Polish composer Preisner's moving score, which is split into two parts: the first, "Requiem"; the second, "Life", as the dance turns back into the world of the living after dwelling in grief. Kokoro had created a moving short to the first section, but had always dreamed of developing it into the full 69 minutes of Preisner's score. That goal was reignited last year, when Bourget and Hirabayashi were teaching a workshop at Cuba's Danza Teatro Retazos and performed the briefer version of Embryotrophic Cavatina.
"They were so moved, we knew we had to do a full piece," Bourget says.
Back in Vancouver, the company's been able to find added inspiration working on Embryotrophic Cavatina in its technically superb 3,802-square-foot production studio beneath the atrium of the Woodward's Building—a space where Preisner's haunting score immerses them.
They've been creating it with two of their long-time dancers, McDermott and Marchenski, who have by now absorbed the duo's profound approach to butoh-inspired movement.
How difficult is it to move so determinedly slowly, as they do off the top of this section? "I think after working with them for 10 years I move slower each day," McDermott says, smiling. "But even though it may appear we're moving slow, inside we're moving really fast."
"Barbara and Jay talk about trying to say the most with the least amount of effort," adds Marchenski. "As you pare things away emotionally and psychologically, the obstacles to expression get stripped away and you're expressing in a really deep level.…So you're moving in a small way but you're full of sensation."
In the first part, "Requiem", Kokoro has also stripped down the set, with the dancers performing nude except for loincloths, wearing the familiar ghostly white body paint of butoh. The second part, "Life", fittingly comes to life with artist Tsuneko "Koko" Kokubo's colourful costumes and projected paintings.
Creating with its collaborators, Kokoro, after two decades of working on this piece, is circling back on its own history and finding new life—and loss—in it.
"If you've gone full circle, then you start again, and I don't really feel that we've completed any cycle," Hirabayashi stresses. "We're still finding new things to explore."
Embryotrophic Cavatina is at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre from Wednesday to Saturday (September 20 to 23) and from September 26 to 29.

Meet the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the latest flagship mobile chipset from Qualcomm.
Announced at this year's Snapdragon Tech Summit in Hawaii, the 8 Gen 1 is the first in a new line of high-end 8-series smartphone platforms, as well as Qualcomm's first chip to adopt a 4nm manufacturing process and this year's new Armv9 architecture.
Don't let those firsts throw you off though; despite the new name this is not so much a radical reinvention as the natural next step on from last year's Snapdragon 888 – and its overclocked 888+ successor. Like that chip, it's expected to power the latest generation of premium smartphones, though we're still waiting to find out exactly which phones that will be.
At the heart of the 8 Gen 1 is a new Kryo CPU – no longer given its own unique numbering or model number, the first of a few signs that Qualcomm no longer wants fans to focus so much on individual specs.
The new Kryo is led by a Cortex X-2 core clocked at 2.995GHz, supported by three Cortex-A710 performance cores at 2.5GHz and a quartet of A510 efficiency cores at 1.8GHz. Qualcomm says it delivers up to 20% faster performance than last year's chip, combined with 30% less power consumption.
That's the exact same setup as the CPU in the recently announced MediaTek Dimensity 9000, which is in fact clocked slightly faster across its cores, though it remains to be seen how the two chipsets compare in actual usage.
The CPU is backed up by a new Adreno GPU – also left un-numbered – which apparently offers 30% faster graphics rendering in tandem with 25% better power efficiency. Qualcomm says it can drive displays at up to 144Hz refresh rate at a QHD+ resolution – an interesting counterpoint to its MediaTek rival, which can hit 180Hz but only at a lower FHD+ resolution.
Specs nerds may appreciate one other area where the Dimensity has the edge – support for the new LPDDR5X RAM standard – though one suspects the average smartphone buyer won't notice or care that this caps out at LPDDR5 instead.
For its part, Qualcomm is more focussed on the new platform's AI and camera chops. The former is an especially key battleground in the wake of Google revealing its in-house Tensor chip, which powers the recent Pixel 6 series and has a firm focus on machine learning.
The 7th generation AI Engine boasts an enhanced sensor array and double the memory among other enhancements, resulting in what the company claims is four times faster AI processing. Qualcomm suggests this can power novel use cases like unlocking your phone without even touching it thanks to an always-on image signal processor (ISP), but the bigger test may be the improved natural language processing – a key strength of Google's Tensor chip in the new Pixels.
The enhanced AI performance dovetails with another enhanced 18-bit ISP to drive improved photography and video. Capable of processing up to 3.2 gigapixels per second, the headline spec this unlocks is 8K HDR video recording at 30 frames per second – though with existing 8K capture yet to take on in a major way, this may still be a niche prospect.
Updated night mode capabilities that allow the simultaneous capture of 30 images may make a more immediate impact on the average user, as will an updated ability to recognise and focus on faces.
The most novel use case that Qualcomm has shown off is the ability to take real-time panoramic shots. The 8 Gen 1 is capable of stitching together the output of two overlapping camera lenses to produce a panoramic wide-angle that runs live in the camera viewfinder – going up to 140 degrees in the demo I saw, well above a typical ultrawide lens and without the typical edge distortion. Qualcomm reps even hinted that this tech is on the way in an actual phone sometime soon, so it's not just hypothetical.
Naturally 5G is once again supported, with an integrated Snapdragon X65 modem delivering both mmWave and sub-6GHz connections in both standalone and non-standalone. Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E are both once again supported, as is Bluetooth 5.2 – with the latter enhanced by new support for CD-quality lossless audio and some new Bluetooth LE Audio tricks that should help save your headphone battery.
As mentioned above, we're still missing the biggest piece of the puzzle: the phones that will run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Qualcomm says it expects the first devices to launch this year, with Motorola and Xiaomi expected to be among the first, including the anticipated Xiaomi 12. Looking to 2022, it's also likely to appear in the Samsung Galaxy S22 and OnePlus 10 among others.
All of these remain officially unconfirmed though, and for the first time this year there's some doubt in the form of reinvigorated competition from MediaTek.
While last year's Dimensity 1200 never felt like a true rival to the Snapdragon 888, on paper the Dimensity 9000 is more than a match for the 8 Gen 1, and the two have delivered similar performance in early leaked benchmarks.
CPU benchmarks are only one aspect of the quality of a smartphone chip, and it remains to be seen how close these two platforms really are. But if Qualcomm's move away from spouting specs is any indication, the company may know that it no longer stands head and shoulders above the competition here, and may be more reliant on Snapdragon's sheer brand power than ever before.
We speculate about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's potential in our weekly podcast Fast Charge, which you can watch below:

Waldviertler Whisky J.H.
Waldviertler Whisky J.H. is Austria's 1st whisky, an individual creation and its own brand.
Particular importance was given to ensuring the product we produced was new with its own character and not just an imitation.
Regionality is very important to us in the creation of our products. That is why we only use local grain, have our own water source that provides us with very soft water (2°d), store our products in local oak (Mannhartsberg common oak or sessile oak) and smoke (some of) our malt using local peat.
Our range consists of rye, rye malt and barley malt whiskies, which are available in a standard drinking strength of 41% vol. Some are also available as selection bottlings with 46% vol or in cask strength.
For connoisseurs, there are also peated whiskies made from 100% dark roasted rye or barley malt, stored in used dessert wine barrels from Austria. We also have our RARE Selection line bottlings from various pre-filled barrels (some just a single barrel).

Is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Right for You?
If you have decided that a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Filing is not appropriate to your situation, you may consider filing for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. It is titled "Readjustment of Debts for Individuals with Regular Income." Debtors who fall into this category are most often individuals who do not qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy proceedings because they:
· failed the means test
· received a discharge under Chapter 7 in the previous 8 years, or
· those who have assets that are considered non-exempt, and which they prefer to keep.
In order to proceed you will need to have ready a proposed repayment plan. You will need to outline your monthly expenses, and the expected amount of monies that will be available every month, that can then be paid against your outstanding debts.
A lawyer will help you decided who will be paid and how much each individual creditor will receive. Certain claims will be given priority over other creditors. These will include taxes and domestic support payments. Debts that are considered to be unsecured are usually credit cards debt, with some restrictions, and medical bills. These are usually only partially repaid. Your lawyer will advise you on how little you will need to pay on unsecured debt.
In order to be considered for Chapter 13 an individual must receive regular income, and have less than $360,475 of debt that is deemed to be unsecured. Their secured debts must be under $1,081,400.
In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceeding the debtor will enter into a repayment agreement, whereby they will pay to the creditor a portion of their debt. Once the plan has been deemed completed, the debtor will be discharged from all remaining liabilities. Exceptions to this plan will be student loans, money earned through fraudulent means, and support obligations for domestic purposes.
With a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing, those deemed to be "priority creditors" will be paid in full, unless other arrangements have been agreed upon. Chapter 13 bankruptcies can be used as a way to pay arrears on a mortgage, while still retaining home ownership. The same holds true for vehicles that are in arrears. These payments will be made, along with the regular monthly payments the debtor has agreed to.
Repayment Plans
In a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy filing the debtor must have a repayment plan that will pass 3 separate tests. They are:
· the repayment plan must be made in "good faith."
· any creditor deemed to be unsecured must receive an amount equal to what they would have received under a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing.
· any disposable income of the debtor will be paid to the plan for a minimum period of 3 years. 5 years may be used in some circumstances in the debtor needs a longer period in order to meet the second requirement.
Chapter 13 and Monthly Payments
Several factors need to be considered when assessing the amount of a monthly payment. Unsecured creditors will receive monies that are greater than or equal to what would have been received if the debtor had chosen a Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.
Automatic Stay
As soon as your paperwork has been filed, by your lawyer with the bankruptcy court, you will immediately receive what is known as an automatic stay. This means that creditors will no longer be allowed to have any contact with you by phone, mail, or any other means, and they will not be allowed to make any claim against your property from that time forward.
This stops foreclosure proceeding on your property, but you must begin payments the day your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy plan is received by the court.
Normally these payments will come directly from your wages and your attorney will make the necessary arrangements for this to proceed. It's important to understand that the USA Bankruptcy Laws specifically say that employers cannot discriminate or fire an employee due to a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy filing.
Further, they will appoint a trustee who will then convene a meeting of all creditors. This meeting will require your attendance. Referred to as a 341 Meeting of Creditors, it usually sees no creditors show for the meeting. If the creditors listed have any objections they will be resolved through means of negotiation between yourself, or through your lawyer meeting with the creditor. If no compromise is reached, a judge will resolve the issue.
Trustee in Bankruptcy
When the court receives your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy filing, they will at that time assume control of the debts outlined in your filing, and all properties that are not exempted by California law. As an example; if the debtor has $20,000 worth of non-exempt assets, they will be required to pay creditors $20,000 over the period of the proposed plan.
Once your paperwork is filed, you will attend the hearing that will take place before a bankruptcy judge. The judge will then deny or confirm your plan of repayment. Once confirmed, and if you follow it for the allotted period of time, then at the end of that period you will receive a discharge of any debts owing.

'Hopelessly Devoted to You' Puts Olivia Newton-John's Battle with Cancer Front and Center
Since the days of Grease, audiences have been dazzled by Olivia Newton-John. She seemed to have this girl next door quality while retaining an air of mystery.
On Saturday, pieces of that mystery were solved as Lifetime aired Hopelessly Devoted to You, a documentary telling the story of the monumental highs and catastrophic lows of Newton-John's life.
In the film, the battle with cancer that the actress previously tried to keep private took center stage.
The movie follows the Australian actress as she becomes a singer in London and Nashville, as she lands the biggest role of her career as Sandy in Grease, and beyond.
The Lifetime film premiered just a month after Newton-John addressed rumors surrounding her cancer.
At the time, reports were flying around that Newton-John was on her deathbed but that was not the case.
"I just want to say the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated, to quote a very famous quote," she said in a video. "I'm doing great and I want to wish all of you the happiest, healthiest 2019 that's possible."
Though the movie does focus on Newton-John's battle with cancer, it only tackles her initial diagnoses in 1992. It does not cover how her cancer returned in 2013 and 2017.
The movie closes with Newton-John getting the idea to start the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre.
"What's the point of all this media attention if I can't (use) it to some advantage?" she said in the film.
The actress opened the center in 2013.
Battle with Cancer
Newton-John was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 when she was just 43. After her diagnoses, she elected to have chemotherapy for nine months. She also had a number of surgeries including a partial mastectomy and breast reconstruction.
During this time, the actress felt that one of the toughest parts of her illness was going through it all in front of the public. So when her cancer returned in 2013, she kept the news quiet.
It was only when
"I thought, 'It's my life,' and I just decided to keep it to myself," she told PEOPLE of why she initially decided not to go public with what was going on.
The Australian singer has managed to remain positive throughout her treatment.
"I'm one of
Along with her cancer treatments, Newton-John is trying natural ways to stay healthy.
"I've always loved a variety of fruit and vegetables – I love roasting veggies or eating them raw – and now I'm eating even more of them," she told
Good Health & Wellbeing."I've also eliminated most sugar from my diet as cancer feeds on sugar and, in general, I eat as much organically grown food as possible."
Luckily for her, eating healthy has always been a priority in her life, so making the switch wasn't that difficult.
"My mum taught me the importance of being aware of what you put in your body," she said. "When I was a young girl I used to be jealous of my friends who had cookies and cakes in their lunch boxes. I wasn't happy then, but today I'm so grateful for it.

Great shot! Happy sky watching.ReplyDelete
Is this sky a bit foggy? Not one cloud can be seen. I love the blue colour.ReplyDelete
It is a gorgeous misty blue. Early morning?ReplyDelete
It looks like a very still night.ReplyDelete
welcome, and thanks.
not a bit foggy, very foggy it was, out of the blue. By checking the label,coming to October 21st and August 6th you will see more.
early evening it was, at about 5 p.m.. Within minutes almost everything got swallowed by the mist. Fascinating.
rather still tea-time. :)
I'd love to take some photos in fog but I never see any; same goes for snow. Lovely image, Sean.ReplyDelete
Visiting Seanhenge soon you will probably come to see lots of fog and snow, Ashley.ReplyDelete
Glad you like what you see. Fog is a master of minimalism, hm? :)
- Don QuiScottieSunday, November 13, 2011 1:39:00 am
Now that conveys my current dilemma... to see the blue sky or the fog, the half-full glass or half-empty one, the dissipation or the growth. From enveloping gloom we should attempt an escape, eh? But... tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow... Yes, I'll try again tomorrow. Keep smiling through the fog dear Seanso, if you can, and so will I. But to see both the fog and blue sky, and smile at both, is best, perhaps. It's tough though, when one man takes on the world. But the world should beware, eh? Tomorrow.ReplyDelete
Up Don QuiScottie, down windmills, typos and unspeakables!ReplyDelete
There is a full bottle at your disposal, dear Don: tonight, tomorrow and whenever you need a magic potion .

Learn How to Become Successful in All You Do
I have been working successfully online for nearly 15 years. Let me show you how you too can be successful in anything you do.
The Great Inhibitor
What's holding back your success?
There's no reason for you not to be successful unless you're allowing something to hold you back. Most people allow fear - Fear of Success, Fear of Failure, Fear of the Unknown - to hold them back. So I'll ask again: What's holding you back?
Why do you continue putting things off?
Another great inhibitor on your way to success is putting things off. You always find yourself busy doing everything you don't need to do. But you do so in order to avoid doing the things you know you should be doing. Later or tomorrow becomes never.
The Time Stealer
Laser like focus
There is no "next best"
Trying to do too many things at once will usually lead to lack of focus and never finishing anything. Take one thing and see it through from beginning to end. Then move on to the next thing, finish it and move on to the next thing you're going to finish.
I have been working successfully online for nearly 15 years. During that time, I have learned many valuable lessons. It is those lessons that I learned on my way to success that I am willing to share with you. Save yourself tons of trouble and heartache by allow me to coach you on your way to being successful in anything you decide to do.

U.S. forces supported failed French raid in Somalia: Obama
U.S. forces provided "limited support" for a botched French raid in Somalia aimed to free a hostage, President Barack Obama said on Sunday.
In a letter to Congress, Obama said that U.S. forces provided " limited technical support to the French forces" in the latter's raid to rescue a French citizen being held hostage by the al-Qaeda- linked militant group al-Shabaab in Somalia.
Obama said that the U.S. forces took no direct part in the assault, and that U.S. combat aircraft briefly entered Somali airspace to support the operation, during which they employed no weapons.
The president said that he had directed the U.S. forces to support the rescue operation "in furtherance of U.S. national security interests."
Obama is required by the War Powers Resolution to report military adventures abroad to Congress.
France launched the hostage rescue operation on early Saturday morning, trying to free Denis Allex, a secret agent abducted in Somalia in 2009. But the mission went awry, and the French side said that evidence suggested Allex had died, along with at least one French soldier and 17 militants.

Scientists have designed a tiny insect-sized robot smaller than the tiniest of paperclips and can both fly and swim. This latest invention allows the creation of future robotics that allows them to travel both by air and water. The robot runs on foil-like wings that allow the robots' structure to stay afloat in both air and water, and it can also allow large-sized robots of the same design to carry objects underwater. The vehicles have sails that allow the robots to drift and minimize the amount of surface area to minimize drag to a great extent.
The Insect Sized Robot
The robots have been modeled after puffins. The engineers from Harvard University's John A Paulson School of Engineering of Applied Science took up the idea after studying how puffins travel.
One of the biggest hindrances was getting the surface tension, and once that was taken care of by using an automatic mechanism, the insect robot was made possible.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A crackdown on child sex trafficking hits close to home. The FBI in Kansas City revealed the results of an investigation Monday, noting that nationwide 50 percent more kids were rescued this year than last.
But authorities say the work to end trafficking is far from over. Often times people think of sex trafficking as a foreign issue, but those in the know say it happens in your own backyard more than you think.
One of the girls picked up in this sweep was picked up right here in Kansas City. Nationally, hundreds of law enforcement agencies participated, resulting in 168 children being recovered and nearly 300 pimps getting arrested.
Another victim was also picked up in Wichita and seven pimps from the region were arrested. The Justice Project assisted with the operation and received the rescued girls.
"We've got folks here that have been where you have been. We know what it's like to suffer from all of these things," said Justice Project executive director Kris Wade.
"A lot of these children come from areas where they're just not secure about their surroundings. They feel like they're not belonging to something," said FBI special agent in charge Michael Kaste.
Authorities don't know how many more kids could be in peril. That's why the community is asked to be vigilant. To know what to look out for, click on these links:

The effects of mindfulness on schoolchildren
A multidisciplinary team from Bordeaux has recently published the results of the first French study on the effects of mindfulness meditation on primary schoolchildren. The study coordinator, Grégory Michel, professor of clinical psychology and psychopathology at the University of Bordeaux and a researcher at the French Institute of Criminal and Legal Sciences, gives an overview of the findings.
- 11/07/2019
Over the past few years, meditation has been popularized by the media; it has travelled through the walls of Buddhist temples and reached out to both the public and private spheres. The form of meditation known as "mindfulness" was launched in the 1980s by the American doctor Jon Kabat-Zinn and its secular, pared-down approach has given it a wide appeal.
This form of meditation is scientifically recognized and used in 250 hospitals and clinics all over the world. It involves discovering self-awareness as well as awareness of your body, your feelings, your breathing, and other people,with the goal of understanding and living in the present moment, whether it is positive or negative.
The University of Bordeaux has recently published the results of the first French study on the effects of mindfulness on academic success and schoolchildren's well-being. The study was carried out in partnership with the Bordeaux Population Health Center (BPH- Inserm and University of Bordeaux research unit), the French Institute of Criminal and Legal Sciences (ISCJ) and the Enfance et attention (childhood and awareness) association.
Over 8 weeks, children aged 4-11 were introduced to Eline Snel's "Sitting Still Like a Frog" (Calme et attentif comme une grenouille: l'attention ça marche !) method.The study assessed the sessions dispensed in class by a trained instructor, with the aim of studying the children's behavior and interactions in class as well as how their concentration and learning abilities progressed.
How did mindfulness come to be the subject of the study and how did you put the research team together?
Grégory Michel: After studying high-risk, violent behavior and mental health problems for over 20 years, I wanted to turn my research in a more interventional direction by developing programs for children prior to their behavioral difficulties. Therefore, from a translational research perspective, we wanted to establish an early prevention program by adopting a positive approach towards health. This tends to develop skills, positive experiences and protective factors rather than just reducing vulnerability factors.
Since I have been familiar with meditation techniques for over thirty years, I wanted to work on a program based on the practice of mindfulness. We chose a program based on Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction(MBSR) which was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts. We used Eline Snel's program "Sitting Still Like a Frog", which was developed for children over the age of 4.
The team was made up of students and postdoctoral fellows specialized in clinical psychology and psychoepidemiology, research engineers, and researchers from the University of Santa-Barbara. We worked with the "Enfance et attention"association which allowed us to work in several schools in France and Belgium.
What are the initial findings?
G.M.: Our study allowed us to collect a large amount of data from over 300 children, as well as from their parents and teachers. Although our statistical analyses are not yet finished, we have highlighted first and foremost that for all of our students, from those in their second year (ages 4-5) up until fifth grade (ages 10- 11), 8 weeks of mindfulness intervention has had a positive effect on emotional problems such as anxiety, stress and negative emotions.
However, the results are particularly significant when we look at the effects on children that had strong emotional and behavioral difficulties before the intervention. For example, these children, mostly 6-9 years old, manage to become more attentive and improve their relationships with their friends. When they're old enough to answer questions (9-10 years old), children also report higher physical, psychological, familial and academic well-being, as well as a greater propensity for happiness and a significant decrease in anxiety.
We also observe that our work seems to demonstrate that mindfulness is more effective for children between the ages of 6 and 8 years old and that it has a greater impact on their emotional and psychological well-being.
The studies' positive outcomes having been proved, are the results resonating with public authorities?
G.M.: Interest in children's well-being is important, in terms of both health and academic success. Good health, with the acquisition of psychological resources which can confront adversity and life's trials and tribulations, is an important resource for both human development and good economic development in society… With this in mind, French public authorities are beginning to take an interest in the positive effects of meditation on students.
For example, this spring, an initial meeting was held with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. More recently, in June we were part of a hearing conducted at the National Assembly by the Health at School working group. There, along with the Mindfulness France Initiative, we presented the initial findings of our study in order to demonstrate the effects that mindfulness has on students. We hope that this is the first stage of the development of a new approach to promoting health and learning amongst young people, which could be part of a strategy that reduces social inequalities in health and academic achievement.
Mindfulness comes from the Sanskrit word Smrti which means "memory", "awareness" and "attention" all at once.

Would You Tell Your Best Friend That They Are Not Good At Something?
One of the things I value most in any friendship is honesty (right after loyalty). I believe that if you cannot be honest with the ones you call friends, then what's the friendship about?
But how do you strike a balance between being honest with your friend and trying not to hurt or discourage them?
So, let's paint a scenario; your best friend loves to sing, and had expressed his/her intentions to pursue a career singing, the problem though is that they cannot sing to save a life (the tone-deaf kind), and it's not for lack of trying or training, the talent is simply lacking in their DNA.
Now, you know how much music means to them, and how happy they get when singing. You also know that if you keep mute, or give them a thumbs up every time they destroy (not in a good way) a musical note, they will probably continue to sing (poorly) and then graciously offer to sing at your wedding.
Would you be honest with them? Or just keep mute and hope someone else tells them soon?
