"Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now." ~Alan Lakein Steve's Story Steve has been married for 48 years. He always handled the household bills, and took care of all the banking, real estate and retirement accounts. But since his unexpected death, his wife, Linda, is overwhelmed. Of course she's grieving over Steve's passing. But, on top of that, She has absolutely no idea what bills need to paid, or even, when they are due. Mary's Story On the other side of town, 81-year-old Mary lives alone. After a long battle with a chronic heart condition, Mary comfortably passed away. Even though her two daughters live across the country, they were able to handle their mom's estate with much less grief. That's because, many years ago Mary had saved all her vital information in one convenient place. Preparing and Organizing Important Information for the Future Death is sure to happen. Yet, with proper planning, you can save your family a lot of hassle at a time when they have more than enough pain and grief to deal with. Long before she finally succumbed to her illness, Mary recorded all her vital information in one place and told her daughters where it could be found. She gave them names, contact information, account numbers, financial information, instructions for pets, messages for friends and next-of-kin. Everything she thought her heirs needed to know. On the other hand, Steve always managed all the household money matters. And, he never had discussions about them with Linda. No one but Steve knew where to find life insurance policies, deeds to real estate, or even who to talk to about the retirement accounts. Steve never expected that his wife would some day have to take over. His lack of planning has made a tough job even tougher for Linda.

Book Planning for Protraction

Download or read book Planning for Protraction written by Iskander Rehman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Sino-US relations have deteriorated, concerns have grown in Washington over its ability to defeat China in a major conflict. A conflict between such peer competitors would likely become a protracted war of attrition drawing on all dimensions of national power, but this reality has yet to receive a sufficient degree of analytical attention. In this Adelphi book, Iskander Rehman provides a historically informed and empirically grounded study of protracted great-power war, its core drivers and characteristics, and an examination of the elements that have most often determined a competitor’s long-term strategic performance. Final victory in a protracted conflict, this book argues, rests on a combination of three core factors: a state’s military effectiveness and adaptability, its socio-economic power and resiliency, and the soundness of its alliance management and grand strategy. A detailed analysis of the contemporary Sino-US rivalry assesses how both parties might fare in the event of a protracted war, while highlighting some of its key differentiating aspects – most notably its nuclear and cyber dimensions.

Book What Matters and Who Matters to Young People Leaving Care

Download or read book What Matters and Who Matters to Young People Leaving Care written by Peter Appleton and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EPDF and EPUB are available open access under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This publication was supported by the University of Essex's open access fund. How do young people transitioning from care plan their future lives? Planning is usually thought of as requiring clear goals and ‘future orientation’, but how might planning be regarded by young people whose wishes, hopes, and plans have been repeatedly dashed? In this book Peter Appleton builds on research interviews with care-experienced young adults, and on cross-disciplinary theories of planning and of emotions, to develop a creative and non-dogmatic three-aspects model of planning for young people leaving care. A valuable resource for practitioners, researchers, and educators, this book puts forward a powerful case to think more broadly and flexibly about transition planning with care-leavers, placing the voices of young people at its heart.

This book presents the proceedings of ICIEA 2023, the 10th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Applications, held in Phuket, Thailand, from 4 to 6 April 2023. The conference was conducted in hybrid mode, with close to 100 delegates attending in person and about 50 participants attending online. A total of 272 submissions were received for the conference, of which 120 were accepted for presentation with 83 of those published here as full papers.

Book Planning  Operation and Control of Modern Power System with Large scale Renewable Energy Generations  volume II

Download or read book Planning Operation and Control of Modern Power System with Large scale Renewable Energy Generations volume II written by Youbo Liu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid development and utilization of renewable energy generations (REGs), such as wind power and photovoltaic power, is an important measure for modern power system to achieve carbon neutrality and solve global energy crisis. However, the randomness and volatility of renewable energy generations lead to serious reliability concerns and financial risks to different decision-makers, and the large-scale integration of power electronic brings huge challenges to the planning, operation and control optimization of renewable energy-based systems. Therefore, to achieve the integration of large-scale renewable energy generations, advanced planning, operation and control optimization methods and strategies for modern power systems are required to be developed based on the state-of-the-art power system technologies. The aim of this Research Topic is to report the latest advancements in planning, operation and control optimization of large-scale renewable energy generations in modern power system to solve potential difficulties and challenges.

Book Homes at Work

Download or read book Homes at Work written by María Carrizosa and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home became a global phenomenon, yet before 2020, it was a relatively understudied practice. But in informal settlements, the definition of "home" and "employment" is completely intertwined, which is why there is so much to learn from them. For over half a century, mainstream theoretical approaches to urban informality, dominated by development economics, often fail to see this economic and spatial phenomenon jointly. Labor studies tend to be space-blind and spatial studies often disregard informal employment. Profoundly interdisciplinary, this work connects scholarship in development, public policy, labor studies, and feminist economics, with that in urban studies, planning, housing, architecture, and visual studies. The book walks the reader behind the closed doors of working homes that make the fabric, both social and economic, of most cities. It applies a visual methodology to reveal their "space-use intensity" and quantify the extent to which houses in informal settlements fill their inner pores with economic activity and community services. The research also revisits urban formalization policies in Latin America and Africa, to uncover a fallacious politics of recognition. It ultimately argues for a recognition continuum: an approach to urban informality that is more practical and fairer. The book is of interest to development economists, urban scholars, public policy specialists, time-use researchers, and architects working on housing, employment generation, urban livelihoods, gender studies, and related topics.
