NUMBER ONE Success System
by Tommy Lee 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

http://www.noss123.com/ The most common purposes for trusts are as follows: 1. *Privacy.* Trusts may be created purely for privacy. The terms of a will are public and the terms of a trust are not. In some families this alone makes use of trusts ideal. 2. *Spendthrift Protection.* Trusts may be used to protect one's self against one's own inability to handle money. It is not unusual for an individual to create an inter vivos trust with a corporate trustee who may then disburse funds only for causes articulated in the trust document. These are especially attractive for spendthrifts. In many cases a family member or friend has prevailed upon the spendthrift/settlor to enter into such a relationship. 3. *Wills and Estate Planning.* Trusts frequently appear in wills (indeed, technically, the administration of every deceased's estate is a form of trust). A fairly conventional will, even for a comparatively poor person, often leaves assets to the deceased's spouse (if any), and then to the children equally. If the children are under 18, or under some other age mentioned in the will (21 and 25 are common), a trust must come into existence until the *contingency age* is reached. The executor of the will is (usually) the trustee, and the children are the beneficiaries. The trustee will have powers to assist the beneficiaries during their minority. 4. *Charities.* In some common law jurisdictions all charities must take the form of trusts. In others, corporations may be charities also, but even there a trust is the most usual form for a charity to take. In most jurisdictions, charities are tightly regulated for the public benefit (in the UK, for example, by the Charity Commission). 5. *Unit Trusts.* The trust has proved to be such a flexible concept that it has proved capable of working as an investment vehicle: the unit trust. 6. *Pension Plans.* Pension plans are typically set up as a trust, with the employer as settlor, and the employees and their dependents as beneficiaries. 7. *Corporate Structures.* Complex business arrangements, most often in the finance and insurance sectors, sometimes use trusts among various other entities (e.g. corporations) in their structure. 8. *Asset Protection.* The principle of "asset protection" is for a person to divorce himself or herself personally from the assets he or she would otherwise own, with the intention that future creditors will not be able to attack that money, even though they may be able to bankrupt him or her personally. One method of asset protection is the creation of a discretionary trust, of which the settlor may be the protector and a beneficiary, but not the trustee and not the sole beneficiary. In such an arrangement the settlor may be in a position to benefit from the trust assets, without owning them, and therefore without them being available to his creditors. Such a trust will usually preserve anonymity with a completely unconnected name (e.g. "The Teddy Bear Trust"). The above is a considerable simplification of the scope of asset protection. It is a subject which straddles ethical boundaries. Some asset protection is legal and (arguably) moral, while some asset protection is illegal and/or (arguably) immoral.

USBAT-02 in SuSE 10
by Meredith Bliss 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Recently upgraded my installation to SuSE 10.0 in hopes of being able to use my RCA Lyra card reader, but it still won't work. Well, I should qualify that: at least now I can see what's on a card, but I can't write to it.. Even trying to cp files as root nets me an "input/output error." Don't know if it's relevant, but I upgraded the system with the reader and card plugged in, and it appeared in Konqueror as /media/ST1. After unplugging/replugging, it appeared as /media/usbdisk. ---------------------------------------- Just happy to be here, but speaking only for myself!

Need testing on a usbat patch
by Daniel Drake 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Hi, Although we're all over the moon because the driver got included in 2.6.12, I managed to break the driver for the older HP8200 CDROM drive users (also based on the USBAT chip). This patch fixes it up for them, but I'd like to see more testing from USBAT flash-users to make sure it still works for us. Applies to 2.6.12 or newer. Thanks, Daniel

kernel inclusion => homepage update...
by Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Perhaps the homepage should be updated now that Daniel got the driver in 2.6.12? Cheers Mikkel Kamstrup -- If yesterday was the day where you said "let's make a gigantic noise", don't complain if people call you a shimmering catterpillar.

Well as 2.6.12 is closing in fast, I scanned the changelogs but could find any usbat2 related stuff. Is it in? Cheers Mikkel Kamstrup -- Feeling philosophic when you should feel stubborn? green computers might help you.

Re: USBAT 0.5.4 for Linux 2.6
by jdpinnj＠optonline.net 19 Apr '05

Hi Daniel - The device is the ZIO that came with a Canon G2. No other CF readers to toy with. My observations using the dd to the device: The problem is on the writing: On an old 2.4.25 kernel, I can write a 1M file to the card that will be identical to one read off of the device directly. This is consistent with the behavior that I have with a filesystem on the card. On the 2.6.10 kernel, I can consistently write and read up to 64k. Anything over that amount gave inconsistent results. Looking over the driver code shows that it is a magic number on the write size to the device. I made a minor mod to line 1008 of shuttle_usbat.c, and changed alloclen to 32k (65536u to 32768u). After a recompile and reload of the modules, I could not successfully write and re-read file greater than 32k. (the logs did show the write size at 32768). Any files that exceed a single write seems to cause the problem. I went back over the maillists and tried some of the various drivers. I was able to get 2.6-04.25 to work against a 2.6.8 kernel. I was not able to get 2.6-04.27 to work. I can send logs, but they didn't show anything unusual. Let me know if there is anything else to try.

HP8200 cd recorder problem
by beno hapci 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Hi, I've a HP 8200 usb cd recorder. As the stock driver in kernel 2.6.10 does not seems to work correctly when I try to write something to the CDR (processes go into state D and hang forever), I decided to give your usbat2 driver a try. It worked for reading a CD fine, unfortunately it gave me an oops when I tried to blank a cd/rw. I've tried version 0.50 of your driver. Should I try a newer version or do you need some debugging output? Thanks,Laszlo __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!

Daniel- Any news on getting your USBAT driver into the mainline kernel? PS: did the patch you sent for submission to the kernel include the following adjustment? /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage/shuttle_usbat.c and edit line 943 - if (!(status & 0x08)) { + if (!(status & 0x40)) { -Jon -- -**-*-*---*-*---*-*---*-----*-*-----*---*-*---*-----*-----*-*-----*--- Jon Lapham <lapham(a)jandr.org> Rio de Janeiro, Brasil Personal: http://www.jandr.org/ ***-*--*----*-------*------------*--------------------*---------------
