Hospice of Santa Barbara endeavours to meet the needs of all individuals in the community who have experienced the loss of a loved one.

Santa Barbara, CA – February 28, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

Ken Slaught, investment real estate agent and long-time philanthropist in Santa Barbara County, is proud to support the recent programming that has been added for members of the Hospice of Santa Barbara to improve the quality of life of the patients there. The property mogul has recently expressed his enthusiastic approval of the organization’s ‘I Have a Friend Program’ by promoting it on his blog at KennySlaught.com.

Hospice of Santa Barbara endeavours to meet the needs of all individuals in the community who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Understanding that children and adolescents often have the hardest time adapting to loss, the organization has focused much of its programming on their unique needs. One of the most important programs that Hospice of Santa Barbara maintains is I Have a Friend, which pairs young individuals struggling with grief with a trained adult volunteer who has also experienced the loss of a parent at a young age.

When children experience the loss of a parent, they often feel that their lives will never again be the same. They can feel lost and abandoned. As noted by Ken Slaught, “The I Have a Friend mentor program allows these young people to share their feelings with someone who has experienced something very similar.” The child will have a companion for as long as he or she needs one. The mentee can explore some of the most sensitive subjects in an open and supportive environment with the mentor, who in turn offers support and practical guidance on the hurdles that will come.

Research has shown that unaddressed grief among children and teenagers can seriously impact their functioning and personality. When these young people do not have the coping skills they need to process grief, they may turn to violence, drugs, or alcohol. I Have a Friend offers a healthy outlet for these children and the opportunity to form a real bond with someone who has experienced the same deep loss. Understanding the significance of this program, Ken Slaught writes, “Recognizing that the child’s life will never be the same, the mentor offers a positive example for how to process and deal with the pain of loss. The mentor serves as a symbol that happiness and wholeness can be achieved no matter how the child may feel in the years immediately following a major loss.”

Ken Slaught has been in the property investment industry for more than four decades. A dedicated investment strategist, he manages more than 3 million square feet of property throughout California. With total transactions valued above $1.2 billion, Investec has grown to become one of Santa Barbara’s leading real estate firms. An avid philanthropist, Mr. Slaught is involved with many non-profit and community organizations, including Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation and the Music Academy of the West. Contributing to the benefit of youth in the area, he dedicates considerable time to these and other worthy causes.

There are some circumstances that will make an applicant unavailable to receive benefits.

Grand Rapids, MI – February 28, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

Some individuals nearing old age may consider the investment into long-term health insurance, especially useful for those who need extended stays in nursing homes or health care facilities. However, attorney Shawn Weera believes it may not be the best choice for everyone at this stage of life. Nationally recognized asset protection expert and elder law attorney Shawn Weera recently shed light on the varying factors that will determine if these policies are a wise investment.

As the average life expectancy continues to increase, Americans are frequently turning to assisted living, nursing homes, and other forms of support in their later years of life. For those without insurance, the costs of these facilities can quickly wipe out a lifetime’s worth of savings. Still, Weera explained that an individual’s age, health, retirement goals, income and assets will all come into play when deciding if long-term care insurance is right for them. He also noted that there are some circumstances that will make an applicant unavailable to receive benefits, including a preexisting medical condition that a health care services provider recommended or treated within six months prior to the effective date of the policy, mental or nervous disorders other than Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, alcoholism or drug addiction, or an illness, treatment, or medical condition arising out of war, participation in a felony, or suicide attempt.

For those who are applicable to receive benefits, Shawn Weera explained that consumer and financial experts generally agree that long term care insurance premiums must be 5% or less of monthly income to be considered a good investment. For example, an individual in their 80s, who in addition to their home expects to have over $300,000 in assets and at least $50,000 per year in income, would be wise to protect their estate through one of these policies. Before making any final decisions, Weera urged those considering these plans to carry out due diligence by comparison shopping and seeking the advice of an elder law attorney to make clear each policy’s exclusions, limitations and benefits.

Shawn Weera, JD, MFP is an elder law attorney with over fifteen years experience helping retirees and wartime veterans preserve and grow their estates through wise and efficient planning. As the President of the Law Offices of Shawn Weera, he has assembled a team of the top elder law and Medicaid experts in the country. Together, they proudly fulfill the firm’s mission to help clients achieve estate planning and asset protection goals in times of prosperity, to provide protection in times of uncertainty, and to offer peace of mind solutions in times of crisis. In addition, Weera and his team frequently host seminars to help educate citizens about a wide range of elder law, Medicaid, Medicare, and estate planning issues that are free of charge and open to the public.

We know what’s likely to work well for our clients based on their location, the size of the event, and the goals they want to accomplish.”

Stanley Tomchin of PinnacleSports.com, has been released after a dismissal of all counts.

Washington, D.C. – February 28, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

Jeff Ifrah, lead attorney at Ifrah Law, is proud to announce his client, Stanley Tomchin of PinnacleSports.com, has been released after a dismissal of all counts of conspiracy, money laundering, and enterprise corruption, thanks to a dedicated law firm that sought the truth and attempted a plea deal before he faced court. Mr. Tomchin was permitted to resolve the case with a dismissal of all felony 56 counts and the entry of a plea to a class B misdemeanor – the least serious category of crimes under New York State law.
Mr. Tomchin’s attorneys, including Ifrah Law partner David Deitch, were understandably upbeat after this result: “We are very pleased with the resolution of this case,” said Deitch. “The District Attorney’s Office began this case with an exaggerated press statement that sought to portray Mr. Tomchin as a gangster kingpin. Their willingness to resolve the case with a plea to a class B misdemeanor shows that those claims were no more than a smoke and mirrors façade designed to hide a case with weak evidence.” Several other defendants have entered pleas in the case; nearly all have pleaded guilty to felonies.

Queens’ County (NY) District Attorney’s Office has originally indicted Mr. Tomchin along with 24 other defendants in 2012. The indictment accused the group of creating a racketeering organization for the purpose of running illegal gambling operations in excess of $50 million. The indictment labeled Mr. Tomchin as a top “bookmaker” responsible for directing the actions of numerous “agents” who assisted gamblers to place illegal wagers via the internet. Media reports following the indictment that referred to Mr. Tomchin as a “kingpin” and suggested that he had ties to organized crime “were clearly overblown,” noted Firm founder Jeff Ifrah.

Also pleased with the result, Mr. Tomchin hopes to put the stress of enduring a years-long prosecution behind him. He is hopeful that the resolution of the case will permit him to resume his philanthropic work, much of which has been impeded by the pendency of the Queens indictment.

Blockchain is similar to a traditional database — one kept in a specific location and accessible by a small number of users.

San Jose, Costa Rica – February 28, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —

There are still millions of people who are still unfamiliar with online cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies, but these industries are revolutionizing the global marketplace and the way in which companies are headed for financial management and transactions. Essentially a ‘distributed, digital ledger’, organizations have found that the blockchain allows them to become more democratic, decentralized, efficient, and secure. Avalon Life, a leading global crypto community, discusses the wide-reaching implications of the technological advancement, and how it will upend the financial services industry for the better.

To help gain a better understanding of the recent technology, Avalon Life explained that the blockchain is similar to a traditional database — one kept in a specific location and accessible by a small number of users — but everyone within the community can see when a transaction occurs. The records are stored on tens of thousands of computers, including both home and business servers, providing an unparalleled level of transparency. The immense visibility generates trust and honesty among participants, who use virtual currencies to transfer ownership of soft products including photographs, songs and other files in a peer-to-peer network. Members will have an account to store their cryptocurrency, similar to one at a bank, but protected with a complex, secret code to give the individual owner control over only their own transactions.

In the financial world, banks traditionally act as central intermediaries for financial exchanges. They store funds, track transactions and offer additional services including credit cards, loan consolidation and credit monitoring. By undermining the entire concept of a community needing a central authority to control funds, blockchain is beginning to eliminate the need for a middleman in the form of brick and mortar banks. Users can complete exchanges immediately and trust that it is secure because of increased transparency and advanced encryptions. In the near future, expect traditional financial institutions to adjust their current services to meet the new needs of customers using blockchain. This can already be seen in The World Bank, who recently appointed economist Rosanna Chan to lead a team of 60 employees in researching global blockchain solutions. As of April 2017, 75 banks around the world had signed with a blockchain service community. As society begins the process of disintermediation, as the need for a central authority is decreasing, banks will need to provide more services to compete within the current financial industry.

Avalon Life is a novel, dynamic company with fresh ideas and innovation based on blockchain technology and decentralization. Driven by the goal to achieve financial independence for all people, they offer state of the art blockchain technology solutions and global education programs on cryptocurrencies and the shifting financial landscape. With over 168,000 members, Avalon Life’s crypto community is one of the most robust, fastest growing blockchain programs in the world.
