Now Everyone Can Plan for Long-Term Care; Updated ‘3in4’ Guide Offers Overview of Product and Living Options, Fitting All Situations

Author: LTC Financial Partners LLC
Dateline: Kirkland, Washington (KIRKLAND, Wash.)  | Wed, 24 Jul 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The newly revised guide, '3in4 Need More: Long Term Care Planning TODAY,' succinctly describes more than half a dozen government or private financial options. The 36-page publication is offered free by LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP), under a non-exclusive distribution agreement with the 3in4 Association, the publishers.”



ARTICLE:

The newly revised guide, "3in4 Need More: Long Term Care Planning TODAY," succinctly describes more than half a dozen government or private financial options. It also details care options ranging from at-home care to assisted living in plush senior residences. The 36-page publication is offered free by LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP), under a non-exclusive distribution agreement with the 3in4 Association, the publishers.

There are new sections offering an overview of -
* Critical illness insurance,
* Reverse mortgages,
* Combination products such as life insurance policies with LTC riders, and
* Veterans Administration (VA) benefits.

Together with 12 other sections, the updated guide covers all the basics of planning for care when people can no longer do such things as walk, eat, or bathe unaided.

Should one hire a home-care aide or move to some kind of facility? What's the best option if you're rich, poor, or in between? The new edition helps answer such questions and more.

"We're delighted to make this information available free to organizations and individuals throughout America," says Denise Gott, LTCFP's National Sales Manager. "We think it can help individuals make a happier transition to a new way of life. And we think it can help companies maintain productivity by educating their employees, so they won't have to worry about a loved one's care needs instead of focusing on work."

Based on the premise that "3in4 Need More" than healthcare insurance, the guide helps the reader --
* Understand the odds of needing care and the risks of not having a long-term care plan,
* Do the research necessary for developing a plan,
* Decide on the best primary way to pay for care (self-insuring, Medicaid/Medicare, long-term care insurance),
* Work with a specialist (when LTC insurance is appropriate) to select the best carrier and design the best policy,
* Consider other means of addressing care costs, ranging from annuities earmarked for care to conversion of life insurance policies into long-term care benefits,
* Decide between a wide variety of senior care & living options.

7 Things Every Patient Should Know Before Going Into Surgery

Author: Neuro Alert
Dateline: White Plains, New York (WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.)  | Tue, 23 Jul 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Having complex surgery can be stressful and even nerve-wrecking, says New York-based Neuro Alert. As you are getting ready for one of the most important days of your life, a wide variety of questions will inevitably arise: How long will it take to recover? When can I get back to work?”



ARTICLE:

Having complex surgery can be stressful and even nerve-wrecking, says New York-based Neuro Alert. As you are getting ready for one of the most important days of your life, a wide variety of questions will inevitably arise: How long will it take to recover? When can I get back to work?

How do I make sure I will be safe throughout the whole procedure? How will I know if the operation is a success? And how do I avoid accidental injuries during surgery?

Preparation can go a long way in making sure that you are ready for your surgery, both mentally and physically. Certain injuries or infections can make recovery more difficult and lead to illness, stress and enormous costs. Therefore, it is absolutely crucial that appropriate prevention efforts are taken.

Below are a few vital areas where you can take positive steps to prepare yourself for surgery, provided by the staff at Neuro Alert.

1. Choose Your Surgeon, Surgical Facility and Time of Surgery.

Fortunately, most patients have the opportunity to choose their surgeon and their hospital. Do your homework and learn as much as you can about different options available to you. Ask around, talk to your friends, relatives or colleagues, and get second opinions if you deem necessary. Your primary care provider may refer you to a specialist for consultation. You may also find out if your surgeon utilizes minimally invasive techniques and more advanced surgical methods, which can minimize the possibility of trauma to a patient's anatomy and result in a shorter hospital stay and more expedient recovery.

When considering a surgical facility, you may reach out to hospital PR offices and request the information you need. If you are bracing up for major surgery (i.e. spinal, nerve, or brain surgery), don't be afraid to ask how many procedures the hospital has conducted in past. The more often the surgical staff performs a particular technique, the more expertise they develop. Furthermore, you have to decide whether you need a small private facility, teaching hospital or community hospital.

Before surgery, you may request a list of dates and times available for surgery and schedule the procedure at the convenience of your family and work.

2. Ask a Lot of Questions.

In the days leading up to your surgery, discuss all your health problems/concerns, medical history and home problems with your physician. Don't forget to mention all the medications, vitamins or herbal supplements you take. Keep in mind that these issues could impact your surgery and your treatment. You should also ask if you need to get antibiotics prior to surgery. Evidence suggests that patients who ask a lot of probing and specific questions and actively participate in their own care, enjoy better clinical outcomes.

3. Consider Monitoring to Avoid Potential Injury.

It is important to know that there are different types of monitoring services available to patients, depending on their condition and the surgical procedure. Some patients with heart disease may benefit from cardio monitoring, while others may consider EEG monitoring to measure the effect of anesthetic medications during surgery. Patients who need to undergo neuro, spine, vascular, ENT or peripheral nerve surgery may request neuromonitoring to protect their nervous system and avoid serious complications that can accidentally arise during major procedures.

Neuromonitoring, also known as Intraoperative Neurophysiological Neuromonitoring (IONM), helps to monitor and guide the surgical team and effectively diagnose conditions in the neuromuscular system. IONM is a crucial and cost-effective tool designed to detect, prevent and treat neurologic injuries during surgeries. You may want to consult your physician regarding this valuable procedure and find out how it could effect your safety and surgery results. Please note that neuromonitoring allows surgeons and their support teams to instantly pick up early signs of neurologic deficit and take corrective action, which would be impossible to accomplish without real-time monitoring. You can benefit significantly from advanced monitoring technology and avoid potential damage to your nervous system. IONM continues to improve the standard of care and is gaining enormous popularity among surgeons and patients alike.

4. Get in Shape Before Surgery.

This one is a no-brainer...The healthier you are going into surgery, the faster you will heal and get back on track. This can also be a good time not only to increase your workouts and yoga sessions but also evaluate your diet.

5. It is Never Too Soon to Prepare for Your Post-Surgery Recovery.

While you are getting ready for a big day, interviewing healthcare providers and researching various intraoperative monitoring methods, you should spend a great deal of time properly preparing for your homecoming. Let us assure you that post-surgery recuperation is not any less important than the surgical process itself.

What you should do is prepare your home, eliminate clutter, get the bathroom ready, and order assistive devices and supplies, if necessary. In addition, may want to arrange for help and hire someone (either on your own or through the agency) to assist you with housework, laundry, meals and shopping. Some patients may require a nurse, physical therapy or even specific dieting guidelines. Please note that some doctors and hospitals employ discharge planners who can help you facilitate the transition process, ease your pain, and alleviate stress.

6. Make travel arrangements.

You should determine how you will get to the hospital and back again. You may not be in a position to drive, so you may want to arrange transportation or ask a friend/relative to help you out. In some cases, the hospital may be able to make all the necessary travel arrangements for you.

7. Quit Smoking.

If you smoke, quit. Patients who smoke are more likely to get infection. In fact, stopping smoking 24 to 48 hours before surgery improves oxygen transfer to blood during surgery.

Final Thoughts:

Feeling anxious going into surgery is normal. However, you should always remember that you have some control over your destiny and you ARE in a position to influence the outcome of you procedure. No matter how stressful or complicated it is... Therefore, we suggest you do everything in your power to make an informed decision, make your surgery as safe as it can be, and ensure a positive outcome.

UK marriage visa process: High Court judgment on income threshold for partners and spouses affecting settlement applications made after 5 July 2013

Author: UKmarriageVisa
Dateline: London, United Kingdom (LONDON, U.K.)  | Tue, 23 Jul 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “UKmarriageVisa, a full service immigration consultancy specializing in UK fiancee, unmarried partner and spouse visas, today announced that the latest High Court judgment on the UK Border Agency (UKBA) financial requirement for partners and spouses of British citizens and legal permanent residents is affecting UK settlement visa applications made after 5 July 2013.”



ARTICLE:

UKmarriageVisa, a full service immigration consultancy specializing in UK fiancee, unmarried partner and spouse visas, today announced that the latest High Court judgment on the UK Border Agency (UKBA) financial requirement for partners and spouses of British citizens and legal permanent residents is affecting UK settlement visa applications made after 5 July 2013.

A year after income threshold rules for those applying for a UK marriage, partner or fiancee visa under the settlement category were introduced by the UK Border Agency, the High Court has handed down its ruling on whether it is unlawful. Three claimants had challenged the new measures by taking their cases to the High Court, on the grounds that rules were discriminatory and interfered with Article 8 of the Human Rights Act, the right to a private and family life.

Ever since the rules regarding UK marriage and spousal visas came into force they had attracted a lot of criticism from those directly affected and bodies speaking on behalf of would-be immigrants to the UK, because the levels set were outside the wage-earning capacity of most of those sponsoring a foreign partner or spouse for a UK settlement visa to join them in the UK. The threshold was set at 18,600 pounds per year, rising to 22,400 pounds if one child was also applying. An extra 2,400 pounds is then added for every extra child. This takes the minimum earnings required to well above the median earnings of the UK worker. One estimate puts the level as above that earned by 47 percent of the general UK working population, meaning that many families have been separated for at least a year to date.

The High Court, whilst stating that the rules regarding UK partner visas were not "unlawful" was of the opinion that they were onerous and unjustified. The High Court judge, in giving his judgment, said that the earnings threshold was disproportionate if combined with one of the four other requirements in the rules - for example, an inability to supplement a shortfall in income with savings, unless the savings were over 16,000 pounds. He added that "While there may be sound reasons in favour of some of the individual requirements taken in isolation," the combination of more than one of the five requirements of the rules was "so onerous in effect as to be an unjustified and disproportionate interference with a genuine spousal relationship."

Whilst unable to strike down the law on salary thresholds on the basis of discrimination, or due to a conflict with the statutory duty to regard the best interests of children while making visa decisions, the High Court did, however, make some suggestions as to what would be a reasonable level to set the threshold, namely, something more in the region of 13,000 pounds, a figure more in-keeping with the UK median salary. The Home Secretary, Teresa May, has permission to appeal the judgment, but she has been given a clear message by the High Court that adjustments must be made to prevent more hardship on families facing even longer terms of separation.

While waiting to see whether an appeal is to be lodged and the outcome, effective 5 July 2013, the UK Border Agency (UKBA) has paused any UK settlement visa applications, i.e. UK marriage visa, fiancee visa, unmarried partner visa, that would be turned down on financial grounds alone. The UKBA has made it clear that any other reason for refusal of a visa for the entry of a non-EU/EEA spouse or family member will still stand and that also anyone who falls into the "paused" category will still have to cancel their application in the normal way should they need their passport for travel. The UK immigration authorities also pointed out that no application fees will be refunded in these cases.

The High Court ruling has not, in the event, given a clear answer in respect of the current threshold earnings ruling and as such is not what the claimants and many other people had hoped, but the recommendations of the court have given them reason to hope that before too many more months have elapsed, a large number of families kept apart by the financial rules will finally be able to be together again.

UKmarriageVisa.com is a team of professional immigration consultants specialising in UK fiancee, unmarried (de facto) partner and spouse visas. The firm offers UK marriage visa services providing assistance to those looking to obtain a UK settlement visa to reunite with their partner or spouse in the UK.

DocuTech and LendingQB Form Strategic Alliance

Author: LendingQB
Dateline: Costa Mesa, California (COSTA MESA, Calif.)  | Tue, 23 Jul 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “LendingQB, a provider of end-to-end loan origination software (LOS), and DocuTech, a leading provider of enterprise-class compliant document preparation software, announced today that they have formed a partnership to integrate their platforms. LendingQB's browser-based LOS is now seamlessly integrated with DocuTech's ConformX system.”



ARTICLE:

LendingQB, a provider of end-to-end loan origination software (LOS), and DocuTech, a leading provider of enterprise-class compliant document preparation software, announced today that they have formed a partnership to integrate their platforms. LendingQB's browser-based LOS is now seamlessly integrated with DocuTech's ConformX system.

"Our integration with ConformX took a considerable amount of time and resources to complete such a seamless, bi-directional interface that is delivered on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis between our platforms," said David Colwell, vice president of corporate strategy at LendingQB.

Colwell added, "Each of our solutions are sophisticated, enterprise-class applications that provide more value and compliance assurance than some of the older document preparation systems on the mortgage market."

"The new disclosure rules and other regulations make it critical that lenders have an LOS and document system that ensures dynamic, compliant documents for every loan," stated Scott K. Stucky, COO of DocuTech. "Our long-term strategic partnership with LendingQB allows us to deliver strong compliance and a great deal of value with an extremely tight integration."

The new integration enables all tasks that would otherwise be performed within DocuTech's ConformX platform to be completed within LendingQB's LOS without having to leave the application. All loan data resides in LendingQB, thus eliminating the exchange of potentially inaccurate disclosures that can be out of compliance. The integration removes a cumbersome, time-consuming process to enter or reenter data in the document system, dramatically speeding up the processing of initial disclosures and closing documents. As a result, employees are freed up to focus on other tasks, which requires fewer resources and increases employee productivity.

"Upon seeing the integration, there's a 'wow factor' that can't be described unless one sees the integrations in action. The commonalities that our organizations have made a strategic alliance an ideal fit to service mutual customers. We look forward to collaborating with DocuTech to board new clients," Colwell added.

The new embedded interface in LendingQB's LOS is extolled by lenders to effectively and efficiently automate the entire application through a closing process that makes ordering, sending and receiving compliant mortgage documents simple and effortless.

About LendingQB:

LendingQB is a Costa Mesa, California-based company that specializes in loan origination technology solutions and services for the mortgage industry. The LendingQB LOS is a 100 percent Web-based, true end-to-end enterprise-class loan origination platform.

Author: San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board
Dateline: San Bernardino, California (SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.)  | Mon, 22 Jul 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The County of San Bernardino Workforce Investment Board today announced that it is accepting applications for its 2013 youth training and employment assistance program. The program has 503 openings for youth ages 17 to 21.”



A R T I C L E:

The County of San Bernardino Workforce Investment Board today announced that it is accepting applications for its 2013 youth training and employment assistance program. The program has 503 openings for youth ages 17 to 21.

"As a youth provider, we are investing in the future workforce," said Russell Degnan, Executive Director for Operation New Hope. "Partnering with the Workforce Investment Board to serve these young people is rewarding today and a great benefit to our economy."

Participating youth will receive mentorship, resume assistance, soft skills and vocational training, and work experience opportunities. The County of San Bernardino will provide all training and services at no cost to participants. The program begins July 1, 2013 and ends June 30, 2014. A second year of follow up services will help youth achieve goals set in the first year of the program.

Thirteen local organizations will serve as youth providers, working directly with youth to build work readiness skills. These organizations include the Apple Valley Unified School District, Career Institute, Chino Valley Unified School District, Colton Redlands Yucaipa Regional Occupational Program, Family Service Association, First Institute, Gang Reduction Intervention Team, Goodwill Industries Southern California, Hesperia Unified School District, Mojave River Academy, Needles Center for Change, Operation New Hope, and the Provisional Accelerated Learning Center.

"The youth employment program builds the skills necessary to find jobs in San Bernardino County's in-demand job sectors," says Sandy Harmsen, Executive Director for the County of San Bernardino Workforce Investment Board. "This reduces the skills gap, ensures our young residents will have jobs, and strengthens the economy."

To qualify for the program, applicants should be ages 17 to 21 and have significant barriers to employment.

"Ensuring that our young people are ready for the job market is critical to our economy's continued improvement. Of the 523 youth that completed last year's program, 77 percent continued on in education or employment," County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors Chair and Second District Janice Rutherford said.

"This means a vast majority of these young people are transitioning from receiving aid to contributing as members of the workforce."

Author: Regent Education
Dateline: San Diego, California (SAN DIEGO, Calif.)  | Mon, 22 Jul 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “National University is the second-largest private, non-profit university in California. With more than 23,000 students it was imperative to find a financial aid management solution that would drive automation and support their complex packaging and repackaging needs.

A R T I C L E:

National University is the second-largest private, non-profit university in California. With more than 23,000 students it was imperative to find a financial aid management solution that would drive automation and support their complex packaging and repackaging needs. Regent Education's Regent 8 was selected based on its advanced packaging and automation capabilities, as well as its unique ability to support all enrollment models.

"With 28 regionally-dispersed campuses, a variety of programs, and a unique enrollment model, managing financial aid programs can be extremely challenging at National," said Valerie Ryan, Director of Financial Aid, National University.

"Other financial aid management products lacked the automation and flexibility we needed. We attended a Regent Education webinar to gain an understanding of functionality and features and were quickly able to see that the level of automation and flexibility with Regent 8 was exactly what we were looking for. Regent 8 will allow us to serve our students effectively, improve efficiently, and ensure compliance with federal regulations," Ryan added.

Key areas of focus for National included the automation of packaging and repackaging, return to Title IV, satisfactory academic progress, the disbursement process, and student communication. "We are very excited about the automation of processes and the associated reduction in back office tasks, and are equally excited about the increase in service to our students," said Randy Frisch, Vice Chancellor of Business and Administration.

"We designed Regent 8 to take automation to an entirely new level," said Shaun Poulton, CTO for Regent. "We have automated every aspect of the financial aid lifecycle, and have paired that with a state of the art user interface that dramatically improves the efficiency of our partner schools' financial aid offices. In addition to a significant reduction in time to provide students with financial aid awards, our customers are seeing their back office tasks reduced between 20 percent and 60 percent."

"In today's economic climate, it's more important than ever for universities to manage the financial aid process in an efficient, compliant and service centered manner," said Randy Jones, CEO of Regent Education. "We were very pleased to be working with National and look forward to a long and successful partnership."

Regent 8 was built by a team of world-class engineers and a team of financial aid experts with over 250 collective years of experience. Regent 8 is the only 100 percent Software as a Service (SaaS) based solution to provide complete support for non-term, nonstandard term and standard academic year schools.

Where Melting Crayons and Burning Battleships Come Together – In a Novel about the Salvation of an Autistic Child

Author: Peter VanDenBeemt
Dateline: New York, New York (NEW YORK, N.Y.)  | Mon, 22 Jul 2013

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Author Peter VanDenBeemt announced today the publication of his new novel 'Memoir of an Unlikely Savior' (ISBN: 9781490939179) available through CreateSpace, Amazon, and other retail outlets. The novel tells the story of a man who fights to overcome his autistic childhood - and succeeds.”



A R T I C L E:

Author Peter VanDenBeemt announced today the publication of his new novel 'Memoir of an Unlikely Savior' (ISBN: 9781490939179) available through CreateSpace, Amazon, and other retail outlets. The novel tells the story of a man who fights to overcome his autistic childhood - and succeeds.

Over the years anecdotal reports from medical and psychological professionals have told of autistic children achieving a full degree of normalcy. A recent article, "Optimal Outcome in Individuals with a History of Autism," by Deborah Fein et al in the February 2013 issue of Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry is a recognized study that validates and explores the phenomenon. 'Memoir of an Unlikely Savior' incorporates factors which the author's readings indicate contribute to such an outcome.

In "Memoir of an Unlikely Savior," Frank would like to be successful with women and with writing, but his autistic childhood, visual impairment, dismissive parents, and narcissistic brother are too much to overcome. Then on vacation in Hawaii, Frank has what feels like a paranormal experience on the Arizona Memorial that starts him down a path of psychological and spiritual self-discovery.

In making the transitions from weird to respected, awkward to insightful, brainy to wise, his relationships with women shift from fearful to erotic, and through them doors open to unexpected opportunities with his writing. Lifting himself from the purgatory to which his past had banished him, he inadvertently helps free those he connects with from their own shadowed depths, making his story the "Memoir of an Unlikely Savior."

Learn more about the novel and the author at: www.Amazon.com/author/petervdbeemt and through the About link at: www.Facebook.com/PeterVDBPage .

The paperback is available on CreateSpace at: www.CreateSpace.com/4353330 and beginning September 1 at other retail outlets.

The paperback and e-book are both available through the Amazon Author Page at www.Amazon.com/author/petervdbeemt .
