Books, Ideas, and Literary Culture for Women in Military Life
The Waiting: 'Stateside,' 'Wife and War,' and the Hale Koa
Date: November 3, 2014Author: andria816 4 Comments
This post is several weeks in the making. For two months I've been carrying around Jehanne Dubrow's Stateside and Amalie Flynn's Wife and War (both collections of poetry) — reading them furtively during over-too-soon toddler naptimes, thumbing through with a beer on precious evenings after the kiddos have gone to bed, even lugging both books on planes over 3,000 miles of ocean.
3,000 miles of ocean? Who am I kidding, I never go anywhere!
But, wait — I did! Amazingly, wondrously, I got the opportunity to meet up with my husband in Hawaii for two full days a few weeks ago.
I was excited about the opportunity, but I also felt guilty about it. In fact, I felt so guilty about it at first that I considered staying home. I knew the kids would have loved to see their dad, but we couldn't afford five plane tickets, and besides, I selfishly wanted some alone time on the plane with books with my husband. And I also know full well that most military spouses don't get to see their husbands halfway through a short deployment. But, thinking of my own little family, I decided that if there were a way we could make this easier we should, and besides, six months of single parenting (or being without your kids, in my husband's case) is not the easiest thing, and we're in this for a while so we need his career to be sustainable. So I decided to go. I postponed writing this up because I wanted to wait until a friend's husband was back from Afghanistan — she'd been so kind and supportive even though her husband left six months before mine did, and I thought that if I posted my giddy vacation photos in the last weeks before her husband got home I'd feel like a real sh*t. Now that he's home (yay!), I feel better about posting!
So, for the mere price of six months apart, Dave and I got a two-day vacation at the amazing Hale Koa hotel in Honolulu. It's a gorgeous hotel run by the U.S. Army, and it's for servicemembers and their families. I wish I could fly every servicemember in history there for a full week. It was that beautiful!
House of the Warrior (and their support staff!)
Okay, so we had a wonderful time, just loungin' around, reading by the pool and on the beach, hiking along some cliffs
My Carnival Cruise Lines/Kathie Lee Gifford "If They Could See Me Now" moment
and eating a lot of terrific Japanese food. And I did have 12 hours of plane travel-time alone with books, which in itself felt like a spa vacation. My entire carry-on was a back-breaking load of books: The Art of Fielding, Moby Dick, The Orchardist, Stateside, and Wife and War, plus my own writing notebook and pens, and the pad of paper I took from the Hale Koa (I might be a little bit of a hoarder). After having to say good-bye to my husband at the Honolulu airport, I comforted myself on the ride home with all my books.
Which brings me to Stateside and Wife and War. There's a reason I'm writing this review in a long, personal narrative kind of format, and that's because both poetry collections speak of intensely personal experiences. They're not meant to be read at arm's length, with a monocle and a terse little frown. Stateside and Wife and War were both written by Navy spouses weathering long deployments in which their husbands could not have been considered "safe," and both touch upon broader themes of loss, longing, disconnection, tragedy, and reunion. Reading them, I saw much that was familiar: the initial struggle to wrap one's mind around a deployment, the dread, the long boring wait, the anxiety, the reunion. And there was much also that was beyond my experience: deployments longer than a year, dangerous tours, difficult "reintegrations."
But when I read, there's no way to keep what I'm reading from spilling all out of the pages into my life and into what I'm thinking. Just as lines I've read come back to me all day long, aspects of my life slip into the pages of what I am reading, and that seems to me what writers would want — a life for their words beyond their own minds, the computer screen, the page. Why else share it?
Jehanne Dubrow's Stateside is an elegant, slim volume, almost classical in feel. The poems deal within the relatively small timeframe of a deployment, with perhaps a little time on either side, and so the book feels like a small, quiet journey.

The first line in the book, from the poem "Secure for Sea," is a definition: "It means the moveable stays tied." And with that Dubrow sets up the essential tension of the collection — that her husband is moveable and she is not. He will be going to sea, far away and to an unstable place, and she will be set into a role women have inhabited for thousands of years, that of the wife waiting at home.
Dubrow examines every facet of this tension across the book's 43 poems. Is a sailor heading off to sea a romantic ideal? Yes, and Dubrow touches on this. Is there also an essential killing-of-romance necessary to survive a deployment? — well, yes, that too, and she smartly explores this in the quintessentially romantic form of a sonnet called "Nonessential Equipment." As her husband discards the trappings of love — poems, perfume, his beloved dog, almost his wedding ring, and, of course, temporarily, his wife — the poem becomes an anti-sonnet, like the old joke about a country song played backwards (he gets his wife back, he gets his tractor back…).
She also tries on the character of a modern-day Penelope, in a central set of poems that I greatly enjoyed. Literature about the recent wars has gone many times back to ancient Greece and Sparta for inspiration and even explanation, but much of this takes itself too seriously or focuses on political misjudgments-and-failures (fair game, but restricted from the outset). Dubrow takes a more intimate, wry approach, setting her Penelope in modern situations that highlight both the noble history and the absurdity of a long wifely wait. "Penelope" tries on lingerie, she takes little Telemachus to the mall, she goes on a diet. The poems highlight all that is stubborn and faith-filled and beautiful and possibly a little dumb about waiting, waiting, waiting for one man to return.
I thought about Stateside while I prepared to, very briefly, see my husband again before another separation. In the weeks before this reunion, I identified with her characters' boredom and the weird, slow erosion of self-esteem that seems to accompany a deployment.
On an island called America,
start fantasizing of the sex
you had with him. Go shop for bras
and lacy thongs at the PX,//
black garters, bustiers, a cream
that leaves your body woven silk,
a self-help book for self-esteem,
a bag of M&Ms, skim milk//
to keep you thin, and Lean Cuisine
(you hate to cook for one).
Siobhan Fallon touches on this in several of her stories, too — that a deployment is a sort of long, socially acceptable obsession. Whatever strong, busy woman you've become, whatever interesting set of friends or successful career — when your husband is on deployment it colors everything, defines everything. It's a strange, low lid over your world. You get bumped back, every time, to the anti-feminism of waiting and preening and staring at yourself in the mirror at 1 a.m. and realizing how much those three-kids-in-six-years have changed you (okay, maybe that is just me), and will your husband remember how much they have changed you, or will he be startled afresh when he sees you again? The reunion, the big reunion! — it's on the horizon, and you don't want to disappoint! In a blog post written in the weeks before her husband returned home, Amy Bermudez described his homecoming as feeling "like a wedding," and I knew exactly what she meant.
A whole culture springs up around the mortal fear of disappointing deployed men. In Fallon's story "You Know When the Men Are Gone" (first in the book of the same name), the women living on-base turn a blind eye to a fellow wife's barking, oversized dog, and even to borderline child neglect, in the interest of the man at war: "No, they would not be responsible for the grief her husband would feel when he came back, having survived the year in Iraq, to a home without a dog. They could not play a role in his disappointment and so they went without sleep, cursed under their breath, banged the ceiling or floor with brooms, and smacked their palms against frail drywall."
There are some ways in which I still feel uncomfortable as a military wife, as if I'm just dipping my toe into a role meant for someone else. As I read Dubrow's poems I felt a sense of belonging at the same time as I identified with her moments of alienation. Her descriptions of certain Navy locales, in all their haze-gray-and-underway-ness, were very familiar (particularly those in Virginia's Tidewater region, the first duty station of our Navy career. Virginia felt like another planet to me when we arrived, but was slightly more comfortable for my husband who, having spent formative years living outside Baltimore, was used to the funny, brash, populous, history-steeped culture of the mid-Atlantic states). Dubrow's poems took me right back. I remembered hiking at First Landing State Park, which was weird and swampy until it opened into a stunning view of the Chesapeake Bay. I'd jotted lists of intriguing place names like Birdneck, Princess Anne, Witchduck.
I also empathized with Dubrow's sense of being an outsider in a world so wholly military-industrial. Unless you are from a military background, it's hard to prepare for living on or adjacent to a busy Naval or Marine base. We've lived next to to both Dam Neck and Little Creek, and when Dubrow talked about seeing the ships outside her window, smelling diesel fuel from shore, I felt a surge of unexpected nostalgia for that very particular world which still feels vivid to me.
Nora and I passed many hours lined up along the canal by our apartment, watching the hovercraft roar by and waving to all the sailors standing on the decks of the small amphibs. We sat on the beach and watched SEALS do their morning run-swims in the cold, misty sea water, with osprey diving overhead, a treat for the early risers. We met Dave for lunch on-base, and I was saluted for the first time, which, given my egalitarian upbringing, felt very odd.
All our lives, I'd been the world traveler, my husband the kid who'd never left the States. I'd been to Japan, Italy, even Africa, because my parents believed that travel was the best education. He'd been to the memorials of D.C. and the old battlefields of Antietam and Gettysburg. Now we'd switched places — he in a career which would take him around the world; myself, at home day and night, with no family or old friends, no writer buddies, but a beautiful baby in a crappy-as-hell apartment surrounded by very young soldiers and their multiple pit bulls. And I was transported back there when I read her poem "Swim Test," about something familiar to me from my husband's own descriptions (mandatory swim tests where the sailors have to demonstrate that they can use their pants and shirts as inflatables by removing them, tying the legs together and blowing air into them).
She's talking about her husband's swim test here, but I felt the numbness of an early deployment all over again, the pain that is being the one who must wait, who doesn't get to move:
The hardest part is playing dead, to be broken,//
inert, when what the body wants is motion,
to kick like a sprinter toward the finish line,
at least to tread water, not to breathe it in.
Now all this brings me to Amalie Flynn's Wife and War. Whereas Dubrow's poems are tightly controlled within classical structures, Flynn's tone is looser and more immediate. I think these collections do well to be considered side-by-side but not necessarily compared, so I'll share a few thoughts about Flynn's book here.
Wife and War is, on one level, a narrative of trauma — it opens with the collapse of the Twin Towers, which Flynn herself witnessed, and continues on through the related hardships of the following years (a husband's deployment, loss of pregnancies, difficulty of her husband's return home). But "narrative of trauma" sounds a little oppressive and I don't think this collection is oppressive at all — it's more like getting a front-row seat into an intelligent and sensitive mind, one that's enduring several years of hardship. Despite the book's 406 pages, it flew by, partly because of its format (verse, with a lot of white space on each page), but also because it was simply very readable. Weeks or months are often encapsulated in a paragraph or a page.
Amalie Flynn
It's almost like a journal, this book, a journal in verse — which is fascinating to me because it would never occur to me to record thoughts and feelings in verse, but I am delighted that some people do. There are the big moments of the book, the Twin Towers and the news that her husband is going to war, and then there are small moments which are rendered so well. When Flynn's husband leaves for good, she recounts laying beside her two-year-old son to sleep:
And I lay on the floor, next to him, my son, next to his bed. Wanting to be right there, when he wakes up and sees, for the first time, sees that his father is gone.
In what I thought was one of the more beautiful passages in the book, she describes the intensity with which she misses her husband.
I can't really explain how I long for him, my husband, for his body to be here, stretched out next to mine, in our bed, one side of his face lit up and legible, by the glow of the alarm clock, or his clothing, his socks and shirts and pants, all of it, left on the floor, there, as he climbs in, climbs in to find me.
…And, how, sometimes, I just want someone to open me up again. Read me like a book, word by word, hip by hip, sentences and paragraphs and legs, to keep on reading me, page by page, until he is done.
Damn. If that isn't how you write longing, I don't know what is.
When Flynn's husband does return home, the distance between them does not easily close, and there is a long spell of tension in the poems. "I am not feeling grateful today," she writes in one of two entries for July 2009.
I feel like you are my business partner, my husband tells me, after, after we are done, cleaning up the kitchen, after we check on the children in their beds, and now, as we lie here, next to each other, in our bed. And I am exhausted and he is unfulfilled , because he wants it to feel different, this marriage, us, what we are doing here.
This is an honest and careful look at a marriage, at the work that goes into keeping two adult people together, and most of it is not pretty or sweet or playful. That is what makes this memoir feel like life: a book of days, in which sometimes the pattern feels like bad-bad-bad-good-bad and sometimes the order is more like good-good-bad-good-good — the ratio can feel unbalanced but it must even out, like flipping a coin and getting ever closer to 50:50. And then, because we are human and not pure victims of chance, it somehow surpasses that 50:50 to get to something better, bigger, and worth fighting for.
Later we will go to our son's school, where they have a garden. It is a small square where the children are growing tomatoes and peppers and beans.
And we will see him, first, our son, before he sees us, standing in the center, holding a shovel, one hand over his eyes to block out the sun, so he can see, see what is growing, at his feet, and when he looks up, he will see us.
I'm grateful that Stateside and Wife and War kept me company for those several weeks — longer than I intended, but not longer than I wanted them around — on planes and in the van (turning pages quietly so as not to wake the baby) and on my couch.
If there's anyone out there who made it to the end of this blog post: thank you.
I am home now, back from my two days in paradise and back to real life: puzzle pieces and sharp little Legos all over the floor, lunches to make and floors to sweep, a toddler with a head cold and a nice track of spring-green snot running from her nose to her upper lip. Just as reading gives you space to make sense of everything else, so does a brief vacation. Children are growing, books are waiting to be read, and when I think of my husband in the airport, waiting to watch me go through the security line, my heart skips a beat with happiness: all this has happened, we've been all these places and started over and charged ahead, and we are still going, and we are still young.

Tom Petty, "The Waiting"
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
Oh don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
I'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool
Don't let this go too far
Don't let it get to you

I liked reading this post very much. You have a way of tying things together that I admire.

I like that you are such a nice husband that you comment on your wife's blog posts.
Army Amy says:
How cool that you got to see your hubby and to do it in Hawaii!!! Although I'm sure the short length must have felt almost cruel. You were so sweet to wait to share about it until after Stephen came home! You didn't have to do that, but it just goes to the considerate heart that you have. (I told Stephen and we both said 'awww' in unison.)
I'm sure I've probably said this before, but I love the way you write about what you read! Both books sound amazing and with your description I really want to get my hands on them! This line hit close to home: "The poems highlight all that is stubborn and faith-filled and beautiful and possibly a little dumb about waiting, waiting, waiting for one man to return." For some reason it almost made me want to cry. It just feels so true.
I'm also intrigued by the discussions about identity and feeling like a military spouse. I feel more like an Army wife when I'm around civilians than when I'm around other military wives. I think some of that comes from Stephen's first deployment, when I was still living outside Dallas and had no military friends or connections. I felt this otherness from everyone else. But in a group of military spouses, I feel like a lowly, inexperienced sergeant's wife with no opinion and no war stories to tell. I definitely need to do more thinking on this; maybe it will lead to a blog post.
As always, thank you for such a thought-provoking, inspiring post! I'm so happy to see that y'all got to be reunited, however briefly. Hopefully that recharges your batteries for the rest of the deployment! Hugs, Friend!
Andria says:
Hi, Amy! This comment is so full that it practically IS a blog post. I'm flattered that you could tear yourself away from gazing into Stephen's eyes to write it up. Ha, ha. Okay, so 1) If anybody ever makes YOU, Army Amy, feel like a 'lowly, inexperienced sergeant's wife' you send them straight to me for a little can of whup-ass. 2) I feel strange around other military spouses sometimes because I feel like I THINK about being a military spouse more than they do. What is wrong with me?
Seeing Dave really did recharge my batteries, and I feel like this last part will be much easier. I wish you could have had a similar opportunity! I wish it could have been easier for you! You did such an amazing job.

IDB, Peruvian Government and Amazon Pipeline Consortia Evade Questions and Criticism about Camisea Failures The major oil pipeline Camisea in Peru ruptured for a fifth time in 18 months, triggering a fire that injured local residents of the village of Echarate in the southern region of Cuzco, Peru. A Health Ministry report stated 25 families were affected. Doctors have banned the consumption of fish from local rivers and vegetables grown in the area until the degree of pollution caused by the spill can be assessed. A report earlier this year revealed a large part of the pipeline was built using severely corroded pipes left over from earlier projects in Brazil and Ecuador and the welding was done by unskilled workers. Another report shows how indigenous communities that come into contact with pipeline workers are suffering and dying from diseases they are vulnerable to as a result of isolation. We talk to Amazon Watch director Atossa Soltani about the Camisea Natural Gas Project, the first major gas development in Peru. It is located in one of the world's most ecologically prized rainforests in the remote Lower Urubamba Valley of the Peruvian Amazon.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in the world. When breast cancer is suspected, owing to an abnormal mammogram or lump, a biopsy may be required – a small piece of tissue is taken for testing, to determine whether or not cancer is present. Women react in different ways when they are told they need a biopsy; for many, the fear of waiting and the procedure itself, can be highly stressful, despite the fact that most biopsies result in benign findings. Normal fears include the possibility of having to undergo surgery, or of receiving treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy.
Thus far, anxiety, pain and fatigue caused by breast biopsies have been treated with anti-anxiety medication such as intravenous benzodiazepine. The latter has been found to reduce pain and discomfort by 55 per cent, making it the preferred anxiety reduction treatment of choice. However, scientists have constantly sought a more natural way to reduce pain, tiredness and stress, since medication makes patients groggy and tired. The answer, researchers at the Duke Cancer Institute have discovered, lies in meditation. Although biopsies are highly effective at diagnosing breast cancer, their potential for causing pain and stress, can have a negative impact on patient care in the long run. When patients are anxious, for instance, they can move during the biopsy, thereby reducing its effectiveness. Those who develop a deep fear because of pain experienced during the procedure, meanwhile, can refuse to attend follow-up screenings.
The impact of stress and pain should not be minimized, since especially where follow-up procedures are required. Natural stress relief methods should be welcomed for many reasons. First, they reduce the costs associated with serious health conditions. Secondly, they successfully battle the prescription pill epidemic that is taking over many countries across the globe. Finally, they teach patients lifetime skills (such as controlled breathing and mindfulness), which are useful for battling stress, anxiety and pain, throughout their lifetime, even when its illness and symptoms have disappeared.
The researchers worked with 121 women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, randomly assigning them three different methods of anxiety reduction while they were undergoing their biopsies: recorded meditation, music, or standard care with a health technologist offering conversation and support to the patient. The meditation comprised a loving/kindness message that focused on building positivity through greater compassion for oneself and for others. It also aimed to rid the patient of negative emotions. Patients in the music group chose form a wide variety of genres, to suit their tastes – these included classical music, natural sounds, jazz, world music, etc. Those who received standard care, meanwhile, engaged in comforting conversation with the radiologist or technologist.
The patients were given questionnaires to complete before and after the biopsy procedure, in order to measure anxiety and nerves, pain, and the sensation of weakness or tiredness. The findings showed that the patients in the meditation and music groups had significantly lesser anxiety and fatigue after a biopsy than those in the standard care group. Moreover, those in the meditation group reported experiencing less pain during the biopsy, compared to those in the other two groups.
The researchers concluded that meditation could be a good therapy for use during standard biopsies, since it is a simple and inexpensive activity with no side-effects and without the ability to produce addiction. They stated that more studies needed to be carried out, to see if meditation could be useful for other practice and procedures.
The above mentioned study is the latest of its kind but certainly not the only one which shows that meditation and other mindfulness practices such as yoga, can aid women. Another interesting study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, showed that yoga can help lower stress hormones and improve the quality of life of women receiving radiotherapy for breast cancer.
The study was carried on a total of 191 women, who were once again placed into three groups. The first performed yoga three times a week for a total period of six weeks; the second group simply did stretching exercises, while the third was placed on a waiting list. At the beginning and end of the research period, participants filled in questionnaires regarding their levels of depression, tiredness and sleep quality. They also answered these questions one, three and six months after the end of the study. In addition, saliva samples were taken from participants, to ascertain their levels of stress hormone, cortisol.
The findings showed that the women who had taken part in regular yoga (with its strong emphasis on mindfulness, pranayamic breathing and mind-body coordination and control) had the sharpest drops in stress hormone levels. This group also stated that they had been able to find some meaning from their experience with cancer, growing from the experience rather than becoming more fearful or negative. They also experienced less fatigue, and enjoyed better sleep quality, than the groups who had not engaged in yoga or other mindfulness activities.
Yoga and mindfulness have also been found to stave off depression; the latter is a devastating mental condition that can arise when a woman is battling breast cancer, since it is normal to fear a poor outcome and its effect on family and loved ones. Meditation and other mindfulness pursuits can help keep the mind in the present moment, encourage a state of greater positivity and bring relief from symptoms of depression. Indeed, many would argue that the incorporation of mindfulness activities as a natural alternative to sedatives and anti-depressants, makes sense in a world where people have grown too dependent on opioids for pain relief and sedatives for stress. Meditation can be practiced by anyone, anywhere in the world, and its ability to relieve and prevent illness is only beginning to be discovered.

Steve's Testimony
Essential Doctrine
Q: #532. In (Gen 14:14) it says that Abram "pursued them to Dan." However "Dan" was not established until generations later. If Moses wrote Genesis as thought, or as tradition says how could this be, since Dan did not exist until long after Moses' death?
By: Steve Shirley
A: Great question! The likely answer to this question is found in the Book of Judges, Chapter 18. In verse 27 of this chapter, we see the Danites capturing the land called "Laish" (or "Leshem"), killing all of the residents, and then burning down the city. In verse 28, we are told that they then "rebuilt the city and lived in it." Finally, verse 29 (NASB) tells us, "They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father who was born in Israel; however, the name of the city formerly was Laish." (Also see: Josh 19:47-48)
***Note: "Laish" is now known as modern day "Tell el-Qadi." (or Tel Dan) in northern Palestine.
This being the case, this would mean that the city where Abram ended his pursuit of those who had taken his nephew Lot was actually called "Laish," and not "Dan" as is mentioned in (Gen 14:14). "Laish" would be renamed "Dan" many years later. So, why is the name "Dan" used when that city did not yet exist? Three possible explanations are given.
1. The most likely explanation is that this was simply what some call an "editorial update." In other words, those who later copied what Moses wrote, likely "updated" the city that Moses had called "Laish" to what the city was called when they copied his writings: "Dan."
2. Another possible explanation is that Moses actually did use the word "Dan" when writing, and therefore he would have been prophesying what the land would be called in the future.
3. Finally, some speculate that there might have been actually have been a different city called "Dan" in the time of Abram, and that city either ceased to exist later, or was renamed.
Since we (obviously) only have a copy of what Moses wrote, and not the original writings, we cannot know for sure which explanation is true, but I am going with #1.

The number of subnetworks available, and the number of possible hosts in a network may be readily calculated. In the example (above) two bits were borrowed to create subnetworks, thus creating 4 (22) possible subnets.
The RFC 950 specification recommended reserving the subnet values consisting of all zeros (see above) and all ones (broadcast), reducing the number of available subnets by two. However, due to the inefficiencies introduced by this convention it was abandoned for use on the public Internet, and is only relevant when dealing with legacy equipment that does not implement CIDR. The only reason not to use the all-zeroes subnet is that it is ambiguous when the prefix length is not available. RFC 950 itself did not make the use of the zero subnet illegal; it was however considered best practice by engineers.
CIDR-compliant routing protocols transmit both length and suffix. RFC 1878 provides a subnetting table with examples.
The remaining bits after the subnet bits are used for addressing hosts within the subnet. In the above example the subnet mask consists of 26 bits, leaving 6 bits for the host identifier. This allows for 62 host combinations (26-2).
The all-zeros value and all-ones values are reserved for the network address and broadcast address respectively. In systems that can handle CIDR a count of two is therefore subtracted from the host availability, rather than the subnet availability, making all 2n subnets available and removing a need to subtract two subnets.
For example, under CIDR /28 all 16 subnets are usable. Each broadcast, i.e. .15 .31 – .255 comes off the client count, not the network, thus making the last subnet also usable.
In general the number of available hosts on a subnet is 2h-2, where h is the number of bits used for the host portion of the address. The number of available subnets is 2n, where n is the number of bits used for the network portion of the address. This is the RFC 1878 standard used by the IETF, the IEEE and COMPTIA.
RFC 3021 specifies an exception to this rule for 31-bit subnet masks, which means the host identifier is only one bit long for two permissible addresses. In such networks, usually point-to-point links, only two hosts (the end points) may be connected and a specification of network and broadcast addresses is not necessary.
A /24 network may be divided into the following subnets by increasing the subnet mask successively by one bit. This affects the total number of hosts that can be addressed in the /24 network (last column).

You can increase your CTAs in your copy.
By doing this you're multiplying your chances of getting compliance.
Keep in mind, one of the primary concerns your site has is to be sure that your inquirer knows what your site is all about and what you have to offer.
Now IMers offer important bonuses as inducements.
My partner WorldProfit offers significant leads and traffic, as well as, membership and "ownership" in niche advertising sites,like TEs and Safelists.
WorldProfit does a tremendous job of recruiting so to these valuable inducements.
Now points-of-contact becomes significant in internet marketing.
Plus,or have an inquirer become a Twitter follower.
But Linkedin is significantly different from Facebook,because Facebook is friend and social oriented platform, and Linkedin is a more business oriented platform.
All SBOs are definitely "professional" people, hence, the relevance of Linkedin.
Here you build your professional identity online, and stay in touch with colleagues,clients,and customers.
You need to add value,like on your niche blog and other social media, as you make Linkedin connections,then you will have and maintain a significant customer base.
You add-value on Linkedin by seting a social media mutimedia widget, and simply clicking the Linkedin icon after you install your article on your blog.
If you have a Linkedin Company page,you'll have to add value manually.
To install a Company page simply go the the 9 dot "work" icon,on you profile page, pull down the "pulldown", and go to the bottom to "Create a Company Page".
So make it very difficult to say no with a strategically placed pop-up and a smart CTA.
Your CTA directs, but your value-add blog,bonuses,and your brand sway.


Reporters at WaPo must have suffered whiplash yesterday from the flurry of "Staff Announcements" they received in their inboxes.
Management announced the departures of four employees.
1. Nancy Kerr is leaving WaPo for USA Today. She'll be the new editor of Your Life feature as well as lead a team that produces stories on parenting, beauty and relationships. Kerry joined WaPo in 2004. No mention of a goodbye party.
3. Shankar Vedantam is leaving WaPo to become a science correspondent at NPR. In the memo they plugged his book, The Hidden Brain: How Our Unconscious Minds Elect Presidents, Control Markets, Wage Wars and Save Our Lives, and another publication, saying the New York Times called his book "entertaining romp through covert influences on human behavior." Noteworthy: "Beyond his obvious talents as a journalist, Shankar will be greatly missed as a thoughtful and generous colleague. His presence enhanced our newsroom, and his easy demeanor and intelligent take on events made even a passing conversation with him something to savor." No mention of goodbye party.
4. National Editor Wes Kosova is leaving WaPo to return to magazines in a senior position at Business Week. Noteworthy: "With a passion for web journalism, Wes brought new energy to the Post's online political report and pushed us to innovate and step up our efforts. Even during long nights on the desk, Wes's unfailing collegiality and comedic talents bolstered our spirits." That said, the memo says they plan to "move quickly" on filling his position, which is unusual for WaPo. No mention of goodbye party.
Journos 1, 3 and 4 may want to crash Nathaniel Vaughn Kelso's goodbye soiree. If we get the details we'll spill them.


Learning to embrace joy with a bruised heart.
I walked into his classroom with tears in my eyes. I had been crying all day, and I needed to tell someone what was happening. He looked at me, smiled, and told me to never let someone take away my joy. He also told me that hurt people tend to hurt other people and that strengthened people tend to strengthen other people. He asked me to use my strength to strengthen others. At the end of our conversation, he told me to pass on his advice to someone who needed it one day.
I walked out of that room, tears streaming down my face. I was not sad, but hearing his advice warmed me. My thoughts seemed to stop, and I realized that I was hurting. He had not said anything that harmed me. Years of words and events piled on top of each other, creating pressure that formed a bruise on my heart, and when I heard his words, my bruise began to ache.
When a bruise forms, the center of it is the part that hurts the most. Yet, when you press on the outermost parts of it, it still feels sore. As time progresses, the color begins to fade, but sometimes the soreness does not. Yet, when something else stimulates pain, you slowly forget about the other source.
Words hurt just like a bruise. There is the center of the bruise, or the words being said. Then, there is the outermost part of the bruse, the lingering thoughts that run through our heads and remind us that we are what they say we are. That pain lingers. Often, we go through life with the weight of the world on our chests. We don't want to burden other people with our life problems: home, work,school, whatever they may be.
Until recently, I had not told anyone that I didn't feel emotionally safe at home. My mom and I are 16 years apart, and I felt it. When I was younger, my mom and I did everything together, but when she had my eight year old brother, I feel like my mom let go of our relationship to become a mom to my little brother. That is when the bruise began to form. We were close, and we used to do everything together. She used to prioritize me and love me the way every child should be loved.
I felt important, but when our relationship faded, that feeling did too. When I reached my middle school years, my relationship with my mom reached rock bottom. Harsh words were said, feelings were pushed to the side and emotions started to build up.
I held onto the things she said. I then sat in my closet, crying and replaying those moments in my head. I knew there was a bruise there, but I also knew that things would heal with time.
My adopted father had been through so much with my family, including my struggles with mental health. He had been deployed in Iraq twice, and he has seen things people would not even want to imagine. My father and I argue, just like any girl argues with her parents, and every time we argue, it always ends up with me crying and trying to walk away. I always wake up the next morning and pretend that nothing ever happened.
The bruise on my heart grew more intense as years of internalizing all of my emotions continued. It took an incident where DHS was called because of a bruise on my arm from my father's hand for me to realize my parents were taking my joy. I needed to vocalize my pain and the things that were happening at home.
My world was falling apart, and I needed help picking up the pieces. My mom kept me home from school for a 'mental health day.' When I came back to school two days later, I immediately started crying. After years of internalizing emotions, I had enough. I knew something needed to change. I talked to a teacher, a counselor and a DHS officer all in the same day. They offered support and continuously helped me through this process. They constantly made sure I was okay. Although I was scared of being taken away, being yelled at and being sent home all at once, I knew something had to give.
The phrase 'things get worse before they get better' has never been more true. It was rough talking about those years of pent up emotions, but as soon as the counselors realized what was happening, they helped me through the next few steps. I realized that I was not alone in this process.
We, as a society, tend to put on a mask and push emotions away. We let people take our joy. Although I am guilty of doing this, I know that things will get better as long as I am not afraid to tell someone I am in pain. For as long as it will take, my bruises will continue to heal.

Historical Context, Manuscripts, NT Textual Criticism
"Scriptures" and "Canon"
A few days ago a former PhD student shared with me the anonymised reviews of a book proposal, one of which was a bit ill-tempered, and also ill-informed (and which also directed some of its ire against me). One of the substantive errors was the claim that it is anachronistic to refer to texts as functioning as "scripture" in the second century, the reviewer asserting that this is to import a concept from the fourth century.
The reviewer's core confusion here is to fail to differentiate between "scripture" and "canon". A biblical "canon" of texts refers to "a fixed collection of scriptures" (to quote from the Introduction to L. M. McDonald and J. A. Sanders [eds.], The Canon Debate [Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 2002], 11). Such a fixed collection of the 27 writings that make up our familiar NT is commonly dated from the late 4th century. But "canon" refers to a fixed collection of texts functioning as "scripture", and "scripture" refers more to the regard, function, and status of writings in given groups of people.
It is evident that from the outset early Christian circles regarded certain writings as "scripture", initially of course, writings of what came to be the Hebrew Bible and Christian OT. The NT is replete with references to "scripture(s)" (Greek γραφη/αι), e.g., Matt 21:42; Acts 1:16; 1 Cor 15:3). Probably the earliest reference to Christian writings as "scripture" is with reference to Paul's letters in 2 Peter 3:15-16, (2 Peter dated variously ca. 70-150 CE). So it is incontrovertible that at least some Christian circles began to regard some Christian writings as scripture at least by sometime in the 2nd century. There wasn't yet a fixed "canon" widely accepted, but there surely were Christian "scriptures".
In fact, of course, there also was a canon, that of Marcion, which takes us back to ca. 140-150 CE, a closed list containing solely the Gospel of Luke and ten letters of Paul, the OT writings and all others excluded. That is, although what became the mainstream body of Christians (whom we refer to as "orthodox" and "catholic") took a good time longer to work out their closed canon, the issue of what should comprise a "canon" was put on the table by Marcion already in the second century.
So, when I say that 2nd and 3rd century Christians seem to have preferred the codex over the roll particularly for writings that they regarded as "scripture", contrary to that anonyous and ill-informed reviewer, that is not use of an anchronistic term. And it is simply the case that earliest Christian copies of texts that we know were widely regarded as "scripture" (OT writings, and writings that came to form part of the NT such as the Gospels) are almost entirely codexes. Christians tended to prefer the codex for other writings too, but not nearly so strongly. About 65% of 2nd-3rd century copies of other Christian literary texts (e.g., theological treatises, other gospels, etc.) are codex form, and the rest are rolls (i.e., about one-third).
So, copying a text in a codex doesn't necessarily mean it was regarded/treated as "scripture". But I contend that copying a text on a roll, for most 2nd-3rd century Christians at least, meant that the text (or at least that copy of it) wasn't regarded as "scripture".
In any case, other than in Marcionite circles, in 2nd-3rd century Christianity there wasn't yet a fixed "canon", but there certainly were "scriptures".
(The McDonald/Sanders edited volume mentioned above is now probably the best single resource-volume on the many issues and bodies of data involved in the formation of the OT/Hebrew Bible and the NT.)

"The NT is replete with references to 'scripture(s)' (Greek γραφη/αι), e.g., Matt 21:42; Acts 1:16; 1 Cor 15:3). Probably the earliest reference to Christian writings as 'scripture' is with reference to Paul's letters in 2 Peter 3:15-16"
But what you fail to recognize is that the word graphai which we translate as "scripture" simply means "writings." This makes it extremely ironic when you says "the earliest reference to Christian writings as 'scripture'" using the word graphai (writings) to mean scripture. To call writings graphai is simply to call writings "writings." We, today, in ENGLISH have put the special meaning "scripture" to that word which in Greek just means writings. Further, it is rather obvious that by "as they do the rest of the graphai" Peter here is using "the" to mean "his" (as is often done in Greek) and by graphai he simply means writings, thus it ought to be translation "as they do the rest of HIS writings" — that is, he is comparing two classes of Pauline writings to each other, namely those in which the end-times is discussed and those in which it is not: they twist those Pauline writings that discuss the end-times "as they do the rest of HIS writings."
First, "writings" isn't the issue. The question is what use is made of this or that "writing" and what significance is attached to it. When, e.g., NT writers cite this or that "writing" as in some sense authoritative for their argument, as in some sense conveying "word of God", as second-temple Jews did for a number of the writings that now make up the OT, then that/those writings are "scriptures".
Second, your exegesis of 2 Peter 3:16 is faulty. The author of 2 Peter refers to Paul's letters affirmatively as instructive and also as writings "twisted" by those with whom he disagrees. So, both this author and those "heretics" he condemns agree in treating Paul's letters as worth fighting over, i.e., as in some sense authoritative. I.e., as "scriiptures". And "the other scriptures" are (sorry) rather plainly (and I think as pretty widely among commentators) to be taken as those writings revered as "scriptures", i.e., OT writings.

I think a lot of this just boils down to semantics, with some defining terms one way and others using them in a different way. I tend to see the distinction between Scriptures and canon in the same way that you've outlined here. I think that if we define "Scriptures" as "religious texts that function authoritatively for a group or person," then it's undeniable that many Christian writings were considered Scripture in the 2nd century. I think Justin's description of Christian worship in the mid-2nd century provides a good illustration of the "scriptural" status of some gospels:
"On the day which is called Sunday we have a common assembly of all who live in the cities or in the outlying districts, and the memoirs of the Apostles or the writings of the Prophets are read, as long as there is time. Then, when the reader has finished, the president of the assembly verbally admonishes and invites all to imitate such examples of virtue. Then we all stand up together and offer up our prayers, and, as we said before, after we finish our prayers, bread and wine and water are presented." (1 Apol. 67)
Whatever status the prophetic writings held for this Christian group, the gospels functioned in the same way.

Ra'am Leader Said they Won't Topple Government but Push some Issues
9 months ago Online Israel News
On Friday in an interview, Mansour Abbas, the leader of Ra'am, stated that while the party did not intend to bring down the government, but they were working on resolving the tensions at Temple Mount in Jerusalem with Jordan. Abbas said in the interview that there could be developments that may push the party into making a decision they don't want to make. However, he said that generally he believed the correct approach was to not dissolve the Knesset and bring down the government. Instead, he said that it was better to pressure the government on different issues with the tools at their disposal.
He also noted that the opposition factions were also lacking the majority required for forming a new government without having elections. He stated that they would need 61 lawmakers from the total of 120 MKs in the Knesset in order to form an alternative government and they do not appear to have them. He added that they wanted to see make political achievements and strengthen the Arab society's political position due to which they had patiently dealt with the scramble happening within the coalition. But, the Ra'am leader also said that they could be a part of a potential coalition in the future led by the opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Ra'am chief said that his party would take a pragmatic approach, if required. According to Abbas, his party's strength lies in the fact that they have kept various options open when it comes to negotiations. He was referring to the talks that took place after the elections in 2021. He stated that a party has to have some ability to maneuver as well as flexibility if it wishes to stick to its political strategy. He went on to say that restricting yourself to one position only makes you ineffective. Last month, Ra'am had suspended their membership in the coalition due to the clashes occurring at Temple Mount between the police and the Palestinians.
It is known as the Al-Aqsa compound to the Muslims. Reports indicated that Abbas had had a meeting with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Sunday for the first time after the party's time out from the coalition. Abbas said that involving the Jordanians could help in resolving the tensions at the Jerusalem holy site because they are the ones who hold custodianship. Last month, Abbas had also traveled to Amman for meeting with King Abdullah II and the two had also talked about the tension in Jerusalem.
Abbas said that working with understanding and perseverance would help them work things out. He went on to say that they had opted for peaceful dialogue and did not intend to declare a national or religious war. He said that there had to be a solution and there was a need to stop the violations that continue occurring at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Muslims also call it the Al-Aqsa Complex or Haram al-Sharif and it is Islam's third holiest site, while considered the holiest site in Judaism and called Temple Mount.

Is it harder to become a Navy or Air Force pilot?
Is Air Force a TOPGUN
The Air Force is reported to be the "easiest" branch when it comes to physical challenges and difficulties. Next to the Coast Guard, Air Force members are among the least likely to see combat. Deployments in the Air Force are not as common as the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps, and they are generally shorter in duration.
Air Force BMT isn't easy. It will take all of your fortitude and wherewithal to make it through. Taking advantage of the resources the Air Force provides is vital. Remember your training in stress relief and mental preparation.
Among active-duty service members and veterans, it is agreed that the easiest military branch to get into, in terms of basic training, is the Air Force because programs are more spread out. Plus, the duration is, overall, shorter.
The hardest military branch to get into in terms of education requirements is the Air Force. The military branch with the toughest basic training is the Marine Corps. The hardest military branch for non-males because of exclusivity and male dominance is the Marine Corps.
Based on deaths alone, it's safe to deduce that the Army is the least safe service, followed by the Navy and the Marines.
The easiest job in the Air Force is by far the Weapons load crew 462/2W1. We would drive out to the flightline and waite on AMMO to deliver our bombs. I'm being sarcastic we worked hard and played just as hard. Find something that peaks your interest.
The Air Force's reserve and active-duty numbers are about the same as the Navy. When it comes to stability, in the Navy vs Air Force comparison, this one is a toss-up, although most airmen would likely argue that the Air Force is much more stable than the Navy and that they have a better quality of life.

Of course, when you reach the top, you can find them becoming SEALs or a part of the Marine Raider Regiment (MRR), but the training of any Marine is some of the hardest military training in the world. Even outside of Special Forces, Marines have to be ready for both land and sea combat.
You will perform physical conditioning six days a week with alternating days of muscular endurance exercises and aerobic running.
It is physically demanding and will require recruits to ensure long hours of physical training, combat training, and tactical training. This phase of training also includes Combat Arms Training and Maintenance (CATM), as well as a fighting exercise that pits recruits against each other, wielding pugil sticks.
To enlist, you cannot be younger than 17 (18 for GED holders) or older than 39 years of age. To join as an Officer, you cannot be younger than 18 or older than 39 years of age. To join as a healthcare or ministry professional, you cannot be younger than 18 or older than 48 years of age.
Yes, it is possible to fail basic training. You could go through the trouble of leaving your home, job, family and friends and come back a failure. In fact, this happens to about 15% of recruits who join the military every year.
The training is rigorous and demanding. And once you finish, it's something to be proud of. Here's what to expect throughout the 7- to 9-week schedule. There's a good chance that your most stressful week of Basic Training is Processing Week.
Once one goes on active duty, with the exception of a few commissioned officer specialties (such as a physician), one cannot simply transfer from one branch of the service to another. You have to complete a Request for Conditional Release from your current branch of service.
Unfortunately, it is possible to fail Air Force basic training. In fact, this happens to around 15% of all recruits who join the military every year.
No, average math skills will suffice using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Pilots perform most calculations on a calculator or with flight planning software. Training focuses on weather, airspace, managing radios, air traffic control airport markings, right of way rules, and emergency procedures.
Other than handling matters of national security, the Air Force also offers many other job opportunities for US Citizens. Being in this military branch is prestigious and a matter of huge pride, where your job will touch many lives and have far-reaching consequences.

Many of those who fail will end up re-taking RAF phase 1 training. Basic training is hard with 10 weeks of rigorous mental and physical stress. For example, recruits have to wait for permission to eat or go to the toilet. But with the proper preparation, you can handle basic training.

West Coast to see weekend rain, mountain snow ahead of cold air blast
By Ryan Adamson, AccuWeather meteorologist
Published Dec 8, 2022 10:04 AM EST | Updated Dec 11, 2022 7:22 PM EST
A storm system will bring heavy rain and mountain snow to areas from Washington to California before unseasonably cold weather settles in.
A strengthening storm will continue to overspread the western U.S. through the weekend with adverse conditions ranging from heavy rain to feet of snow over the mountains, AccuWeather meteorologists say. The same storm will set the stage for severe weather and blizzard conditions in the nation's midsection to start the work week. Even after the rain and snow comes to a stop, impacts will still be felt in the form of a cold airmass, bringing polar air to much of the Intermountain West.
Already, extreme impacts have been felt from the storm in portions of the Golden State. One especially notable example was on the summit of Ward Peak, located just west of Lake Tahoe and roughly 8,600 feet above sea level, where a weather station observed a wind gust of 165 mph.
While a few inches of rain will fall in some areas along the coast, prompting wet roads and localized ponding, the snow will be the most noteworthy aspect.
"A strong Pacific storm will bring multiple feet of snow once again to the Sierra Nevada, where the seasonable average snowpack is up to 175% of normal in parts of the area," noted AccuWeather Meteorologist Mike Youman.
The substantial amount of snow piling up in the mountains is crucial. Experts say that a greater snowpack means there will be more snow to melt away in the drier months of the spring and summer. The snowmelt can help boost soil conditions as well as water levels on streams, rivers and water reservoirs.
Frequent storms over the past month have helped grow the snowpack substantially in the Sierra Nevada.
Any precipitation is welcome in California where a moderate to exceptional drought is still ongoing according to the United States Drought Monitor. The Sierra Nevada has peaks above 8,000 feet that tend to screen out a lot of moisture from Pacific storms. However, it looks like a fair amount of low-elevation showers and mountain snow will push eastward into the Colorado River basin, where drought and low water levels are also an ongoing concern, forecasters say.

Despite the long-term benefits, travel over Interstate 80 could be nearly impossible during the height of the storm. Snow-packed and slippery roads will be hazardous, and visibility will be sharply reduced due to the intensity of the snow. Several inches of snow could accumulate in just an hour's time.
Before the storm affects California, rain, snow and wind crashed into the Northwest on Friday night, with precipitation increasing in earnest Saturday in much of northern and central portions of California. The precipitation is likely to continue right through the end of the weekend.
"One to 2 inches of rain look likely across the Bay Area from Saturday afternoon through Sunday night," said Youman. "Amounts at the higher end of that range would get San Francisco within roughly a half-inch of the city's rainfall average for the entire month of December, with two-thirds of the month to go," added Youman.
As a large southward dip in the jet stream occurs, Southern California will not avoid the rain from this system. Rainfall will not be as heavy as in the northern parts of the state, but amounts will still be beneficial.
The Los Angeles Basin is expected to receive around 1 inch of rain according to Youman, who noted that this would fall in a period of only 48 hours.
AccuWeather meteorologists say that a few thunderstorms could develop across Southern California this weekend. Thunderstorms this time of year in the region are not unheard of, but they typically need quite a strong storm system to form for them to occur.
"Since the rain can be heavy at times, flooding in low-lying areas will be a concern later through Sunday night," Douty said.
The last soaking rain in the city occurred back on Nov. 7-8 when 0.94 of an inch fell. Rain amounts in San Diego with this upcoming storm are expected reach around an inch. The normal rainfall total for the month of December in the city is 1.67 inches.
On the snowy side of the storm, winter weather will not just be limited to the Sierras and the Pacific coast states. Periods of snow will spread across much of Idaho, Montana and Utah into the weekend, bringing accumulating snow to several cities in the region.
"With no shortage of cold air in place with this storm, accumulating snow will be a possibility at lower elevations, in cities such as Boise and Salt Lake City," AccuWeather Meteorologist Andrew Johnson-Levine explained.
The weather along the West Coast should begin to quiet down Monday as snow moves into the Rockies. The system is then expected to rapidly intensify and become a monstrous storm in the central United States by Tuesday. However, colder air will be quick to arrive behind it.
The chilly weather will be first to arrive in the Northwest. In Seattle, the cooldown will begin Monday night, when low temperatures are held below the freezing mark. Highs on Tuesday and Wednesday will struggle to reach 40 degrees, which is over 5 degrees below average for the time of year.
Farther east, temperatures will turn downright bitter in many locations. For Spokane, Washington, temperatures are forecast to drop into the mid to upper teens by Monday night, with temperatures hovering near 25 degrees. With snow on the ground and a dip in the jet stream in place, these temperatures will be set to remain through much of this week.
"A fresh snowpack will reflect incoming solar energy more easily than bare ground, helping take several degrees off the high and low temperatures," Johnson-Levine explained.
Farther south, where snow won't be as big of an issue, chilly weather is still expected. Phoenix, Arizona, is set to see low temperatures plunge into the 30s Fahrenheit on Tuesday, while San Diego is held in the mid 40s the same night. Both of these temperatures are roughly 5 degrees below average, according to past weather data.
With a dip in the jet stream holding steady, these chilly conditions may be here to stay, lasting through the end of the upcoming week.

"I am an heir of the decedent and here is his will."
Business Owner passed away on April 5, 1976, with an estate of $2.5 billion. Many people appeared claiming, "I am Business Owner's heir" and submitted wills with themselves as beneficiaries. The court finally determined seven years later that none of the wills were valid and split the estate among 22 of the decedent's cousins. The costs and fees paid to lawyers during administration of Business Owner's estate were in the millions of dollars.
When a person passes away, it is important to have an organized process to transfer his or her property. The probate process is an organized method to gather all of the property of the individual, pay his or her bills, determine the appropriate beneficiaries to receive the property and make the actual transfer.
The probate process can be quite easy and rapid for small estates or can last for many years with larger or more complicated estates. Most people do not spend much time thinking about probate. However, if they are potential beneficiaries, probate is a topic of great interest. To the 22 cousins who received multimillion-dollar inheritances, Business Owner's probate process was very interesting.
There are at least four general categories of probate players. First, an executor or personal representative is the manager of the estate. Second, an estate attorney is involved to advise the executor or personal representative on all probate and legal matters.
Third, a probate judge will rule on the validity of any will, review many of the actions of the executor, and approve the final distributions. Finally, heirs will be the beneficiaries of the estate.
The probate process involves eight separate steps to ensure an orderly transfer of all of the property to the right individuals. Let's assume that Ed Executor and Ellen Attorney are probating the estate of Business Owner.
Accept the Will: Ed or Ellen will normally submit the will to the court for probate. Usually, there is one final will that is accepted. However, there are many cases in which individuals wrote their own wills or there was a question about the validity of a given will, resulting in a wills contest. Eventually, the court will determine the validity and meaning of the will. However, for Business Owner's estate, none of the wills were valid and state law determined who received the $2.5 billion.
Locate Heirs: Because Business Owner did not have a valid will, Ed Executor needed to locate all of the heirs. But, the 22 cousins still needed to be approved by the court. Under state law, Business Owner's estate was transferred to his relatives. With $2.5 billion at stake, all of them had attorneys to ensure that each cousin received the proper share. Even if Business Owner had signed a valid will, it would have been essential to locate all the heirs. In some cases, the selected recipients had passed away and property was distributed to their children or other relatives.
Determine the Estate Assets and Values: Ed Executor is responsible for finding all of Business Owner's estate assets. The assets included real estate, bank accounts, securities accounts and other property. Because Business Owner's estate was taxable, all property was valued so that federal taxes could be paid. Finally, the balance of the estate was distributed to the 22 cousins.
Pay Executor and Attorney: Not surprisingly, Ed Executor and Ellen Attorney were paid a large fee from Business Owner's estate. The costs for the probate process may be quite substantial and the executor and attorney are always paid. Costs may be as low as 2% of the estate value or may range up to 7% or 8% of estate value. However, if there is an estate contest, costs can consume a large portion of the entire estate.
Make Debt Payments: After determining the nature of the property and the approximate value of Business Owner's estate, Ed Executor will also advertise for any claims by creditors. The state probate law determines the period of time and the type of public notice to be given. If creditors do not file claims against the estate, they risk losing their ability to collect their debts. All debts and taxes are paid before the final distribution.
Resolve Controversies: Seven years of controversies in Business Owner's estate required continuous attention from Ed Executor and Ellen Attorney. Most of the controversies centered on the submitted wills. If there are any controversies, such as a claim that the final will is invalid due to undue influence of a party who obtained the will, then the court must determine the rights of all parties under the will and applicable state law. After seven years, the court decided that none of the wills in Business Owner's estate were valid.
File Income and Estate tax Returns: Because Business Owner's estate was $2.5 billion and produced income each year, Ed Executor had to file the final income tax return for Business Owner and annual returns for the estate. Based upon the appraisal valuation, Ed and Ellen also filed the estate tax return and paid the estate tax to the IRS.
Distribute Assets to Heirs: After seven years of court proceedings, payment of estate taxes, court costs, executor fees, and attorney fees, the probate judge approved the final distribution order and the 22 cousins of Business Owner received their inheritance.
There are several negative results for which probate has a deservedly bad reputation. First, the process is public. Anyone can obtain the will of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and read her provisions for children John Jr. and Caroline.
As was true for Business Owner's estate, the probate process may be both lengthy and expensive. Both time and money can be easily wasted in the bureaucracy of the process.
Probate is also as good and as bad as the judge who is involved. Judges are people, with the good and bad characteristics of humanity. Some are very dedicated and capable and some are primarily interested in an early exit to the golf course in the afternoon. Depending upon the quality of the judge, the probate process can be easy or quite challenging for the executor and estate attorney.
Finally, the existence of a substantial estate (such as that of Business Owner) invites relatives to submit claims and is fertile ground for developing probate controversies. If there is any question about the validity of the will, or there are conflicting methods of transfer of the same property (joint tenancy with one person and attempting to transfer the same property through a will to a second person), a will contest and probate battle may occur.
There are multiple methods that are used to avoid probate. These can be quite successful, but all methods must be coordinated carefully to be certain that the overall plan works correctly.
Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship: Under property law, the surviving joint tenant owns the real estate.
Designated Beneficiary: An insurance policy, an IRA, a 401(k) or other qualified plan is transferred to the designated beneficiary. There is a contract with the insurance company or the retirement plan custodian and that person agrees to make the transfer to the individual or organization selected by the owner. Typical forms permit the selection of a primary beneficiary and also a contingent beneficiary.
Pay-on-Death (POD) Accounts: Most states that follow the Uniform Probate Code may allow a "POD" account. Most savings accounts, checking accounts and certificates of deposit are under state law permitted to be transferred to the "payable-on-death" recipient.
Revocable Living Trust: Perhaps the most popular method for avoiding probate is a revocable living trust. The grantor is taxable on the assets of the trust, but frequently will transfer a personal residence, securities accounts and other major assets into the trust. The assets in the trust avoid the probate process.
