MooPig Boomers Against Elder Abuse Department :: "Power of Attorney"

Do You Like Taking Money from a Granny?

[Picture LINK] ... She has weathered her share of heartache over the years too; her best friend dying three years after a lightning bolt rendered her physically and mentally incapacitated ...

Yes, insanity has taken over. As if things couldn't get any stranger, abuse never takes a vacation. It seems like bad business follows us around all the days of our lives, from birth to old age. We find ourselves chin deep in rhetorical questions, but do we, as a nation, actually enjoy taking money from Grandma and Grandpa?

Why can't any institution in our system of governance, that includes all groups, not just our Federal and State governments, why can't they ever get it right? I have been around the healthcare business for 15 years and have always known about ugly things that happen to the elderly. I also have met and worked for a few who are rich because of their holdings in healthcare businesses that supposedly cater to the elderly.

The biggest problem the elderly have is whether they will outlive their money or not. Their money is held in many ways, but the question of guardianship when the elderly is incapacitated becomes a thrill ride for the aging. At a time when thrills are not exactly what aged people are seeking, drama picks them as its victims.

When they were young and had to do things for themselves, the elderly usually did not entrust their money to any one else. Also, neither, did most people get an attorney to correct every skirmish, disagreement and argument, nor accident.  In today's dealings there is an entire legal institution of sorts that deals with the elderly and their situations.

What Is a Power of Attorney?

" ... A power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone you choose the power to act in your place. In case you ever become mentally incapacitated, you'll need what are known as "durable" powers of attorney for medical care and finances. A durable power of attorney simply means that the document stays in effect if you become incapacitated and unable to handle matters on your own. (Ordinary, or "nondurable," powers of attorney automatically end if the person who makes them loses mental capacity.) (Shae Irving, J.D. retrieved today. LINK) ..."

This tactic in dealing with those who are mentally spent depends on one big assumption: the person who is now in control of the incapacitated elder by durable power of attorney, is not himself mentally incapacitated. That is a big if, because most people are not mentally equipped to handle their own affairs much less the affairs of another.

Each person has a choice to make in their own planning, and it is not an easy task.

The PPJ Gazette | ™ PPJ Gazette™ PPJG ™ PPJ including copyright ©: "Issues are things like Due process, the role of guardian ad litem, Mediation, guardian background checks, guardianship financial authority, ward’s rights–etc. There are maybe 5 or so states to highlight, including New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, Idaho, and Nevada. In New Mexico, insanity has taken over."

Some of the case histories, in the LINK provided, read like a TV drama episode, but not even that well written. Taking guardianship of elderly people is robbery, and not all that uncommon. Can this abuse continue?

CONCLUSION
The only way abuse of elderly will become a major issue in USA is if a stand up comedian takes an "Elderly Abuse" shtick on the road.

" ... A financial power of attorney can be drafted so that it goes into effect as soon as you sign it. (Many spouses have active financial powers of attorney for each other in case something happens to one of them -- or for when one spouse is out of town.) You should specify that you want your power of attorney to be "durable." If you don't, in most states, it will automatically end if you later become incapacitated.

" ... Or, you can specify that the power of attorney does not go into effect unless a doctor certifies that you have become incapacitated. This is called a "springing" durable power of attorney. It allows you to keep control over your affairs unless and until you become incapacitated, when it springs into effect. Again, you must specify that you want your power of attorney to be "durable." If you don't, in this case, your document will never take effect at all. (Shae Irving, J.D. retrieved today. LINK) ... "

Imagine this: You just had a stroke and are in no position to manage your assets or decide on your personal welfare. Who could do that on your behalf? That would be your spouse, or your adult children. What happens if both parties do not see eye to eye on certain issues? Read more HERE ...

Sounds like good advice, and well, it could happen to anyone to become mentally incapacitated, and our best laid plans can still backfire on us.

MooPig Report from the Middle :: "CO2 is the Biggest threat to the Middle"

“Now I know I've got a heart because it is breaking. - Tin Man” (L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)

"For God so loved the World ..." this is how every Southern Baptists' boilerplate verse from the Bible; John 3:16, begins. What is not fully understood by all those evangelists is that God is not speaking of just the world of humans ... rather the Creator Almighty is speaking of all of creation of Earth, which might be fairer without the inclusion of humankind. It turns out, by all measurements of CO2 today, it is a big mistake to think otherwise.

While mega-turd politicians act confused about the Syrian front, there is a greater threat to American security.

The years should not gauze over how the world was conned into an awful conflict. To keep the water from rising we have to mandate a worldwide cut in Energy-related CO2 emissions by half by 2050 (compared with 2009) and continue to fall afterwards.



How Many Gigatons of CO2? | Information Is Beautiful:

'via Blog this'

CONCLUSION
It is MooPig Wisdom's hope that you dear reader will find some helpful information starting with the chart and LINKs, graphs, statistics and numerical predictions on CO2, included in today's post. In our own search for answers we find terrifying warnings, and abominable shortcomings by countries.

Will anything be done to curb our self-destruction -- anything that is humanly possible? Apparently only an act of God will make the earth long-term-inhabitable by all creatures, and, things big and small. Is it only a test of humans' resolve? Hard to say for sure.

Let's pretend that humankind takes a backseat in destroying all its natural resources, and actually puts the environment in the driver's seat. And let's give it a date to be transformed: let's go with August 29th, 2045. I will be 90 years old and still poor. But by then will the earth's oceans cover many shorelines that existed in 2013?

The only thing that can survive fifty or a hundred years is a sovereign, focused, linear derived family unit; one that can invest right now outside the given rules, today, and reap their benefit in 2100, in tomorrow's long term. That brings to mind Rothschilds and those like them. They seem to have all the luck when putting the brakes on things magnanimous. It would be a shame to lose all of the earth and everything in it.

Will robber barons be the ones who finally step up and clear the air? I am holding my breath.

That's our concerns for this hour from the Middle -- where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the children are all above average.

MooPig Ads Council :: SEO Theory "Creativity is King"

Retrieved by Pat Darnell | Nov 4, 2012 | Bryan TX

This is what you creative types do 'naturally' ... that is, you construct your web spaces with intuitive processes that can not be quantified. When you read about SEO Theory, you say to yourselves 'I do that already!' Yet, it is good to look into optimization, and see your own machinations as they move through servers.

This article helps one to feel justified in his or her zeal to create on the internet.

[Picture LINK]

" ... The buildup and falloff in queries, content, and links defines a wave-like pattern if you graph it. The queries start first. The content starts second. The links start third. Content and links tend to peak after queries peak. Links tend to peak before content peaks (I think because late-comers create content that doesn’t generate any buzz or interest among other content creators). (October 30, 2007. By Michael Martinez. HERE) ... "

The Theorem of Query Space Optimization | SEO Theory:
EXCERPT  |  " ... You don’t have to know what the average amount of traffic is for all query spaces. You only need to know what a query space’s average traffic was for the past two years. If you see a decline in traffic then you know the query space is degenerating. If you see peaks and valleys where the peaks seem to about the same you’re looking at a mature query space that is still productive. If you see an increase in traffic over the past two years then you’re looking at a young query space.

" ... A query space is coherent as long as it produces relevant results. A query space’s coherence degenerates as traffic declines and/or as relevant content declines. That is, spam can kill a query space by making the query space less useful or productive for searchers.
'via Blog this'

" ... Hence, the Theorem of Query Space Optimization tells us that queries remain productive only as long as there is search interest in them, and only as long as relevant content is promoted for those query spaces. In other words, a query space exists only as long as there is interesting content populating the query space, which means that a query space can actually become self-sustaining if and only if the query space produces continually new and interesting content.

" ... In short, creativity is king. (HERE) ..."

BOOBQuake 2010

"Sedighi claims that not dressing modestly causes earthquakes. If so, we should be able to test this claim scientifically. You all remember the homeopathy overdose?

Time for a Boobqauke.

On Monday, April 26th, I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own. Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town. I encourage other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts. Or short shorts, if that's your preferred form of immodesty. With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake. If not, I'm sure Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn't rumble. And if we really get through to him, maybe it'll be one involving plate tectonics."

You with me girls?

So, who's with me? I may be a D cup, but that will probably only produce a slight tremor on its own. If you'll be joining me on twitter, use the tag #boobquake! Or join the facebook event!

(Confused? Angry? Think my science is crap? Read a serious explanation of boobquake here)

Because I made a boob joke.

Since this is probably only going to get crazier in the next couple of days, I want to make a quick clarification. This post is going to be far shorter than it should be since I am a student and I'm trying to finish homework and such, but I wanted to at least acknowledge what people are saying.

I just want to apologize if this comes off as demeaning toward women. To be honest, it started as silly joke that I hurriedly fired off since I was about to miss the beginning of House. I never thought it would get the attention it did. If I would have known, I would have spent more time being careful about my wording.

That being said, I don't think the event is completely contrary to feminist ideals. I'm asking women to wear their most "immodest" outfit that they already would wear, but to coordinate it all on the same day for the sake of the experiment. Heck, just showing an ankle would be considered immodest by some people. I don't want to force people out of their comfort zones, because I believe women have the right to choose how they want to dress. Please don't pressure women to participate if they don't want to. If men ogle, that's the fault of the men, not me for dressing how I like. If I want to a show a little cleavage or joke about my boobs, that's my prerogative.

I also hate the ideal of "big boobs are always better!" The cleavage joke was just a result of me personally having cleavage, and that being my choice of immodesty. And I thought "boobquake" just sounded funny. Really, it's not supposed to be serious activism that is going to revolutionize women's rights, but just a bit of fun juvenile humor. I'm a firm believer that when someone says something so stupid and hateful, serious discourse isn't going to accomplish anything - sometimes light-hearted mockery is worthwhile.

Anyway, I'm not forcing anyone to agree with me. Maybe I am failing at Feminism 101, or maybe I'm just taking a different approach.

And to the scientists who are concerned with my methods - don't worry, I fully plan on doing some statistics after the event. I know many earthquakes happen on a daily basis, so we're looking to see if Boobquake significantly increases the number or severity of earthquakes. Or if an earthquake strikes West Lafayette, IN and only kills me, that may be good evidence of God's wrath as well (I'm not too concerned). And yes, I know I need a larger sample size to make this good science. Maybe I'll include Mardi gras in my calculations.
