Asset Protection Tips for Parents Sending Kids off to College
Andrew Welp
Wealth Transfer Advisor
Savant Capital Management
"It should not be shocking that kids out on their own for the first time can make poor life decisions. You've hopefully done enough to prepare them for these situations, but it is also just good practice to limit YOUR potential liability related to your child's actions." 1) Protect Yourselves: Limit your potential liability related to your child's actions. Transfer title of your child's car from you to him, get your child on his own auto insurance and get your child an umbrella insurance policy. 2) Protect Your Children: Your child is now an adult. Simply being her parent might not be good enough if you need to make a financial or health decision. Have her execute Powers of Attorney for both Property and Healthcare, naming you as her agent will ensure that you can step in and help if it becomes necessary.

How the environment affects the economy
Nicholas Reksten
Professor, Economics
University of Redlands
"The Green New Deal represents an interesting and promising shift in the U.S. climate policy landscape, as it is the most prominent initiative that understands the need to connect climate change to other economic issues," says Dr. Nicholas Reksten, environmental economist at the University of Redlands. "While many economists advocate carbon pricing as the only policy needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, others have been more skeptical, noting that a high price on carbon would be regressive and that the negative impacts would be concentrated among certain industries and locations. While huge swaths of the world economy are starting to use carbon pricing, the prices charged are not nearly high enough to bring about meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emission on the order needed to avoid catastrophic damages, and, elsewhere, opposition to any carbon pricing remains intractable," he says.
Dr. Reksten can discuss a broad set of topics on how the environment affects the economy, the impact of climate change on the economy and the Green New Deal.
Articles he has written include -  Reksten, N. (2018), Stakeholders and Voluntary Climate Reduction Goals at Large U.S. Firms: An Institutional Analysis. The Social Science Journal, forthcoming; Roncolato, L., Reksten, N., & Grown, C. (2017), Engendering Growth Diagnostics: Examining Constraints to Private Investment and Entrepreneurship. Development Policy Review, 35(2), 263-287; Reksten, N. (2008, Winter), Changing the Question. Synthesis/Regeneration, 45. http://www.greens.org/s-r/45/45-10.html; Book chapters: Wisman, J.D., & Reksten, N. (2013), Rising Job Complexity and the Need for Government Guaranteed Work and Training; In M. Forstater & M. Murray (Eds.), The Job Guarantee: Toward True Full Employment (pp. 5-38) New York, NY: Palgrave Macmillan.

• HOW TO WRITE A SUCCESSFUL GRANT PROPOSAL BY BLENDING RESEARCH AND EMOTION. There are countless ways to finance a nonprofit but one of the most popular tactics is to seek grants. These awards often entail significant sums of money that can make expensive projects a possibility and have the advantage of not requiring repayment as a loan would. Because this first impression is often the only impression, it is critical to make your proposal as polished as possible to stand out among the other applicants.
