Offshore Asset Protection Trust

Filed under: General Financial Articles, Trusts — Alexander J. Hay III @ 4:31 am

An Offshore Asset Protection Trust is a trust agreement that is entered into by a Domestic Individual who is interested in protecting his or her assets (complex asset transaction) from liability by using the Trust Laws of an “offshore” country, such as Belize. This Trust is usually established with the Domestic Individual, hereinafter referred to as the “individual”, named as Beneficiary of the Trust in order to receive funds and other benefits from the trust. The individual is sometimes named as Trustee, and where available Protector of the Trust, giving the person complete and total control of the Trust entity and the assets held therein. There is usually a “triggering event” clause that results in the individual being automatically removed from all positions in the trust if the individual ever becomes liable to any third party, thereby making it legally impossible for the third party to force the individual to hand over funds in the trust by various legal orders and/or injunctions. Since the individual no longer has any authority over the trust or its assets, it has no power to deliver the assets of the trust to third party creditors.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

Filed under: Utilities — Bill Tusan @ 4:26 am

Surges, dips & power protection power anomalies and surges pose a big threat to computer equipment. Our computers are sensitive and these things can cause harm.

Do you live in the country, or in an older home or apartments…does the power flicker and surge? Did you know that an electrical surge can travel through telephone lines into your house ?

There are many reasons for the power anomalies and surges, and electric companies are not solely to blame. Often the old interior wiring is a culprit, and even in buildings where the wiring is newer, many everyday appliances like microwaves, vacuum cleaners, and hair dryers can cause data-damaging interference.

Computer components, especially the microprocessors, are more sensitive to fluctuations in power amounts than other appliances. They function best when receiving stable current at the correct voltage, and a start-up demand from a microwave lasts only fractions of a second-but, if that fraction occurs while you’re using your computer, the results can be devastating ! A single brief surge/dip of electricity (Houston Texas Electricity Rates) could render your machine useless and/or destroy delicate parts.

A power strip, which is a simple strip of outlets, is not a surge protector.

A surge protector may look like a power strip, but it has built-in protection against power surges. These come in many shapes and sizes and are now available just about everywhere. Some models will include a telephone jack to protect your telephones and modem (Houston Texas Broadband Internet).

For emergency back-up power to give the user time to save their work and shut down properly, many consumers and companies have turned to the UPS units- short for uninterruptible power supply. These are designed to provide a safe and stable electrical current in the event of dips/surges and total power outages.

Having an on-line UPS avoids these momentary power lapses by constantly providing power from its own inverter, and the UPS has internal batteries to guarantee that continuous power is provided to the equipment.

The UPS models vary alot, and you have options. You can get a small system to run from a few min to larger units that will keep you working for many hours, you can even find solar charged UPS units for sunny areas.
