Parents naturally want to make sure their child with disabilities is well taken care of, both now and in the future. It's not just about meeting the day-to-day needs but also thinking ahead to their long-term financial security. There's a lot to juggle—from managing medical expenses to planning for their financial future. It can feel pretty overwhelming and complicated. In this episode, host Annette Hines welcomes financial planning expert, James Lange, to discuss the crucial need for specialized financial planning for parents of children with disabilities. James emphasizes the importance of working with advisors who understand the unique financial needs of these families and securing government benefits like SSI or SSDI to ensure long-term support. The conversation covers essential legal documents such as wills and trusts, and James offers a free copy of his book, “Retire Secure for Parents of a Child with a Disability,” packed with strategies for financial planning. Annette and James delve into the practical and emotional aspects of financial security, reflecting on how proactive planning can provide peace of mind and a brighter future for children with disabilities.   In this episode, you will hear: The importance of collaborating with specialized financial planners and tax advisors for families with children with disabilities Key government benefits essential for the financial support of children with disabilities The necessity of creating appropriate wills, trusts, and powers of attorney tailored for children with disabilities How proper financial planning can alleviate anxiety for parents raising children with disabilities Why it is important to involve the child in the financial planning process Resources from this Episode: Free digital copy of Retire Secure for Parents of a Child with a Disability Website: https://DisabledChildPlanning.com Facebook:  @RothRevolution Twitter/X: @rothguy  LinkedIn:@jameslangecpa Other Sites:https://PayTaxesLater.com Engage with us: Join our community: Circle of Care Visit:  https://annettehines.com Read Butterflies and Second Chances LinkedIn: @annette-hines-snc  Instagram: @parentingimpossible Facebook: @SpecialNeedsCompanies Twitter: @SpecialNeedsCo   Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Paying for advertising to get people to know about your business is expensive and out of reach for most yoga professionals, but there is another way to get the word out besides paying for ads or social media.   Free media and publicity!   In this episode, your host Pamela Crane shares her years of experience as a journalist and podcast host to help you know all the secrets to getting free media and guest spots on podcasts.   Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts or find it at www.theyogapropodcast.com   Pamela Crane is a C-IAYT and E-RYT 500 with a Master of Science degree in Yoga Therapy.  She helps heart-centered entrepreneurs overcome fears and imposter syndrome to create online content; and provides evidence-based continuing education and mentoring for yoga professionals.  She is a former broadcast journalist and film and commercial actress who hosts The Yoga Pro Podcast; and has presented nationally and internationally at symposia and conferences for yoga and integrative medicine.   Topics: Local Newspaper and TV news -Start local.  You likely won't get the Today show on your first try.   -Follow reporters on social media and like/comment on their stories -Plan ahead.  Deadlines are sooner than you realize -Find email address for health and lifestyle reporters -Make your pitch relevant to their viewers and not about you -Have your ducks in a row so you are ready when it airs-social media, websites,  -Learn how to be on camera, where to look, how to speak in soundbites -Learn how to write a press release or get someone to write one for you.  (This is something I can help you with). -Pick one or two outlets to target.  Reporters want exclusive content.   Podcasts -Actually listen to the podcast so you get the vibe -Make your pitch different.  Check out the episode titles and see how you can be unique and fit in.   -Send a headshot and all of your links with the pitch.  We want to get to know you, but also it's tiring having to go searching social media for a picture and links.  Many podcasters are one person teams, so make it easy on them to want to have you as a guest. -Get a good mic.   -Have good lighting -Make arrangements for your children and pets.  Some podcasters don't edit.   Writing for Other Sites and Publications -HARO and QWOTED are good sites to find stories that reporters are working on to pitch.  That reporter working for a small website today may be writing for a big publication next week.   -Google your favorite publications' Editorial Calendar.  That is where you can see what they are working on and what you might want to pitch.  Most work at least 2 months or more in advance.   Generally -Know the audience of the outlet and make sure you fit in. -Again, make it easy on the reporter or podcaster.  You want to be their go-to source that they call again and again -Be gracious.  Don't spend the whole time talking about your book or product.  You want to provide value to the audience.  Most podcasters will give you the chance at the end to tell people how to find you (and if your content was great they will!), and articles will usually link to your website or social media -Tailor your pitches to the reporter or podcaster.  We can smell a form letter a mile away.  -Send a sample of your product or copy of your book.  It lets them get to know what you have and they can speak more intelligently about it if they have tried or read it. -Share it!!!  You want them to cover you but it's important to share the article or podcast with your audience as well.  It's a win win because it establishes credibility for you and brings more people to the outlet. -Be yourself!

Amarna Tales (Part 1). East of Akhet-Aten (Amarna), a walled-village hides among the hills. This "East Village" is a well-ordered, secluded community. It seems to be the new home of pharaoh's tomb builders. Originally, they lived at Deir el-Medina in west Luxor. But when Akhenaten founded his new royal city, the tomb-builders left their homes and came here. Today, archaeologists have uncovered a vast amount of material. Homes, animal pens, chapels, and countless artefacts shed light on daily life and family organisation in ancient Egypt. From homes to chapels, guard-houses to water depots, the East Village offers fantastic insights. It even includes traces of Tutankhamun, before he abandoned Amarna...Episode details:Date: c.1355 - 1340 BCE.Location: Akhet-Aten (el-Amarna).Kings: Akhenaten, Neferneferuaten, Tutankhaten/Tutankhamun.Logo image: A battle standard or soldier's emblem, with a sigil of Wepwawet (Kemp 2012).Music by Keith Zizza www.keithzizza.net.Music by Bettina Joy de Guzman www.bettinajoydeguzman.com.Music interludes by Luke Chaos https://twitter.com/Luke_Chaos.Bibliography:Read reports on the East Village and other aspects of Amarna's archaeology free, at The Amarna Project.M.

Segment 1- Mindie   This episode is focused on the largest of Ireland’s islands – Achill Island. It lies of the coast of County Mayo, and can be accessed by a bridge. It’s an island of stories, of sorrow, of powerful women, and it has some of the most beautiful scenery is all of Ireland with sheer cliffs, amazing mountains, bogland, sandy beaches and historic villages.  Achill Island  - as my friend Ruth O’Hagan says, “… is one big, fat, giant amethyst sitting in Atlantic Ocean. And it’s true that amethysts were mined here, and one can still see the veins of purple in the gray rock cliff faces.   Achill is old landscape. Inhabitants of the island are said to go back 5000 years.  The Belfast born painter, Paul Henry visited Achill Island with the intent of staying a few weeks, but found that he couldn’t leave. He said of Achill Island, “Achill … called to me as no other place had ever done.” He ended us staying for years.   Patricia Byrne is a writer who currently lives in Limerick, but is from County Mayo and has Achill Island ancestors. The stories of Achill Island and her ancestors captured her imagination so strongly that she has spent years researching and writing narrative non-fiction about the island’s history and people.   She is a graduate of the NUI Galway writer program. Her most recently historical non fiction books are: The Preach and the Prelate: The Achill Mission Colony and the Battle for Souls in Famine Ireland     And   The Veiled Woman of Achill: Island Outrage and a Playboy Drama   In our conversation today, Patricia and I talk about the stories in her books, but also about Achill Island itself and many opportunities for travelers to the island.   Segment 2 - GUEST INTERVIEW   What is it about Slievemore Deserted Village that is most compelling? It is the mountainside remains of a village that was deserted during and after Ireland’s Great Famine in the mid-nineteenth century. It includes the remains of over 80 cottages and also potato ridges – lazy beds.     What is the background - history of the site? When the potato famine struck in 1845 the movement of people form the village started through a combination of famine death, emigration, evictions and movement of the people towards the sea. This movement continued after the Great Famine and the settlement developed into a ‘booley’ village – with people using the village for summer grazing of their animals on the mountain slopes and moving down to the villages of Dooagh and other areas by the sea in the winter.   Are there any legends or mythology tied to the site? The people tell stories of suffering associated with the village; of losing their lands on Slievemore and being forced to build new soil from sand, seaweed and peat closer to the seashore. The ‘lazy bed’ potato ridges are clearly visible to this day and evoke memories of the trauma of suffering arising from the failure of the potato crop.   Do you think those stories have a deeper meaning? The place and the stories carry the people’s memories of their history and their suffering. The historical trauma is buried in the soil.   What surprises travelers about the site? …. something one wouldn’t expect? People are surprised when they come close to the site and observe the detail of the houses and their construction methods as well as the still evident shape of the potato ridges dug into the mountain slopes. The Nobel Laurate writer Heinrich Boll had a cottage nearby in the 1950s and spoke of his astonishment on coming upon this village, ‘a skeleton of human habitation’.   What are your thoughts on thin places or liminal places where the physical and spiritual worlds seem to cross? The landscape carries powerful memories of our ancestors’ lives and their traumas. We can walk upon the ground where they lived, toiled and suffered. The place is a poignant image of leaving – through death and emigration – and absence.     What advice would you give to a traveler who is seeking out thin places or sites with spiritual energy?

In Episode 8, my guest is Lindsay Dow, a really enthusiastic and cool independent language teacher from the UK. Lindsay is well-known for her great Youtube videos about all aspects of language learning, and she was also a winner in the Sensational Fluent Giveaway. “No one learns a language because they want their life to stay the same.” The show doesn't follow the usual interview format, instead Lindsay came on as a co-host and talked about her favourite blogs and articles, as well as her own story of language learning. She also helped me select the Tip of the Week. You will learn: How music and lyrics from Sheffield can teach you great English Which Asian language was a total eye-opener for Lindsay Why travelling is the greatest motivation for language learning How to stop getting bored by the language you're learning (hint: Celebrity crushes help!) Why J-Lo has insured body parts - and what that's got to do with Germany How everyone (certainly the two of us!) feels the pressure of maintaining language skills Our exclusive permission to you: Learn AS MANY LANGUAGES AS YOU LIKE Language Learning Tip of The Week Set yourself some goals and challenges, write them down and try your best to achieve them. For example, making a language video, writing a blog article in another language or reviewing 50 items on Memrise could be a goal. It's important to make sure that you do go easy on yourself if you don't hit the goal. It doesn't make you a failure, so make sure you know how to do better next time and move on! Our Tool and Blog Recommendations for the Week Wordreference and Linguee, two great online dictionaries Language Surfer Koko the Polyglot A Frog's Life - un blog BD français Omniglot Oh My God My Wife is German Itchyfeet Language Book Recommendations The Meaning of Tingo: and Other Extraordinary Words from Around the World Through the Language Glass by Guy Deutscher And Here are the Other Sites and Tools we Mentioned Feedly and Bloglovin for following all the blogs your heart desires The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis The Next Tango in Paris by Ta-Nehisi Coates on the Atlantic 12 Mind Blowing Number Systems from Other Languages

Not all privacy lawyers or advocates always agree. This is one of those times. A well-respected privacy advocacy/watchdog group filed a complaint before the FTC in the US to stop FB's acquisition of WhatsApp.They allege that Facebook's use of users' data would fly in the face of WhatsApp's pro-privacy approach."EPIC has filed a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission concerning Facebook's proposed purchase of WhatsApp.WhatsApp is a messaging service that gained popularity based on its strong pro-privacy approach to user data. WhatsApp currently has 450 million active users, many of whom have objected to the proposed acquisition. Facebook regularly incorporates data from companies it has acquired." (from EPIC's announcement page)EPIC states that the FTC has "looked favorably" on its prior complaints against industry leaders, such as Google, Microsoft and Facebook. It has, but not in the way implied. The FTC has never stopped an acquisition based on the fear that the purchaser might change an acquisition's privacy practices.To ask them to do so now doesn't make sense. And it is disrespectful to users who can make choices and vote by the dollars. EPIC shouldn't decide what data collection and use practices WhatsApp should have, as long as they don't violate existing applicable law. And these don't.Anything else is Privacy Paternalism.EPIC stated that WhatsApp is pro-privacy. It is. The Canadian Office of the Privacy Commissioner investigated them and concluded that WhatsApp could improve its privacy practices, which it voluntarily did. They collect only what they need, and often discard that after use.The are also anti-advertising, ad free, and say that they hope to keep it that way forever.At the same time, they reserve the right to change the terms of service at any time, which includes their privacy notice which is entirely incorporated into its terms of service.To do that, they must provide notice of any changes and users must agree to those changes or stop using the service.If users don't like the Facebook acquisition or don't like any changes made to them after the acquisition, they can use a different mobile messaging app. They can do what consumers always do, vote with their dollars.There are many choices available to users - how they want their data collected and used and which provider they want to use based on the foregoing.Facebook wants value for the $19 billion. It is highly unlikely that it intends to alienate the hundreds of millions of users WhatsApp has.If you're not sure what to think, read what I set forth below. The policies are clear and explain it all in a way all users can understand. And all users accepted.While few people ever read the terms of service or privacy policies, I have collected the relevant provisions from each and pasted them below.Relevant Provisions from WhatsApp Current Terms of Service and Privacy Notice (March 6, 2014)(selected by Parry Aftab, Esq.)10. AssignmentThese Terms of Service, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by WhatsApp without restriction.Privacy Notice:This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the WhatsApp Terms of Service. Your use of the WhatsApp Site, WhatsApp Software and the WhatsApp Service and any personal information you provide on the WhatsApp Site or WhatsApp Service remains subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?This Privacy Policy is part of WhatsApp’s Terms of Service and covers the treatment of user information, including personally identifying information, obtained by WhatsApp, including information obtained when you access the WhatsApp’s Site, use the WhatsApp Service or any other software provided by WhatsApp.The Information WhatsApp Does Not CollectWhatsApp does not collect names, emails, addresses or other contact information from its users’ mobile address book or contact lists other than mobile phone numbers—the WhatsApp mobile application will associate whatever name the WhatsApp user has assigned to the mobile telephone number in his/her mobile address book or contact list — and this occurs dynamically on the mobile device itself and not on WhatsApp’s servers and is not transmitted to WhatsApp. This means that if you have your friend’s mobile phone number associated with the name “Shakespeare” in your mobile address book, that’s the name that will appear for that mobile phone number in your WhatsApp contact list. We do not collect location data, but users may voluntarily share their location with other users via the WhatsApp Service.The contents of messages that have been delivered by the WhatsApp Service are not copied, kept or archived by WhatsApp in the normal course of business. The WhatsApp Service is meant to be a SMS replacement, using data service through a user’s phone (either via cell network or wifi). Users type their messages, which are sent via data service to our servers, and routed to the intended recipient (who must also be a WhatsApp user), if that recipient is online. If the recipient is not online, the undelivered message is held in WhatsApp’s server until it can be delivered. If the message is undelivered for thirty (30) days, the undelivered message is deleted from our servers. Once a message has been delivered, it no longer resides on our servers. The contents of any delivered messages are not kept or retained by WhatsApp — the only records of the content of any delivered messages reside directly on the sender’s and recipient’s mobile devices (and which may be deleted at the user’s option). Notwithstanding the above, WhatsApp may retain date and time stamp information associated with successfully delivered messages and the mobile phone numbers involved in the messages, as well as any other information which WhatsApp is legally compelled to collect. Files that are sent through the WhatsApp Service will reside on our servers after delivery for a short period of time, but are deleted and stripped of any identifiable information within a short period of time in accordance with our general retention policies.Third-party Advertisers, Links to Other SitesWe are not fans of advertising. WhatsApp is currently ad-free and we hope to keep it that way forever. We have no intention to introduce advertisement into the product, but if we ever do, will update this section.In the Event of Merger, Sale, or BankruptcyIn the event that WhatsApp is acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right to transfer or assign the information we have collected from our users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the (hopefully) unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used.Changes and updates to this Privacy NoticeThis Privacy Policy may be revised periodically and this will be reflected by the "effective date" below. Please revisit this page to stay aware of any changes. Your continued use of the WhatsApp Site and WhatsApp Service constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any amendments.Date Last Modified:This Privacy Notice was last modified July 7th, 2012From ParryAftab.blogspot.com.
