it's not about that you "have" to get to exercise your autonomy. b/c like, yes you do, but not in the way that "if i don't get to do that Now i will explode & evaporate (& die)" which is what people keep leveraging to be like "so you don't have any valid argument for getting to act out your own choices"

therein is another issue of "why do you need a 'valid argument' to get Exceptions as ruled by this person to exist autonomously, unpunished" like why's this person an authority who gets to punish you. nonrhetorically, why do you have to appeal to their maybe possibly deciding to Let you be a person. should you "have" to.

and if you don't get that Permission that you supposedly "have" to get, you also will not immediately explode and die if you do that unpermitted thing, but shocking how "you don't Haaaave to" is only invoked re: things you want to do for yourself, and not what they want you to do for them....because it's Not Really About "Literally literally Haaaaving to"

the alignment between people getting on one for years about asexuality, and while doing so maxing out the saturation on their bullshit on any & everything, b/c you're just getting into anti autonomy, so ofc you're also just stoking & expressing "arguments" against autonomy that are deployed in plenty of other contexts, including against other queer identities....and that particular resonance with biphobia & transphobia, and how either groups are theoretically thwarting the Truest Gays because how will we have a valid argument against the truest cishets agenda if we can't convince them we haaaaaave to be like this instead of that no, we won't explode & die if we have to be repressed or at least closeted another day, and another, and you won't explode after another, either, etc. rather than thee point of "asexuality autonomy = queer autonomy = Your queer autonomy = Anyone's Autonomy" and "why do we 'have' to Convince anyone to go 'oh alriiiight' abt one's choices about how they express their identity, what decisions they make about having sex"....it's about anyone having the power to preclude & restrict others' autonomy & constrain their existence between one kind of more imminent, immediate harm/death & a more drawn out one where you exist as a resource for others' use but at least you aren't Literally dead today. so what if someone's saying "well i don't think your gender/sexuality stuff is Real" so long as they can't get in the way of other people living that out anyways. so what if someone's supposedly like "well, but everyone could be bi" (which they don't. just like ppl were never 'pretending' to be asexual to nefariously stand around in the queer space that never rigorously vetted everyone anyways? Making Up A Guy To Get Mad At) to supposedly argue that if all of you are bi you can just restrict yourself to the Cishet Appearing manifestations (which they don't) where what's that even matter if this [guy to get mad at] can't make that anyone else's problem? if he can, why can he. should he be able to. that's the problem, not "have we all tried the constant biphobia wherein they're always thwarting & sabotaging the rest of us?? like how trans people are keeping us from being legitimate?? with the opportunity for some trans people to also try declaring other noncis people Not Legitimately Trans?? well the cishet agenda loves asexuals, actually, they want everyone to never have sex ever (they don't want that, and that's not what being asexual is)"

using the "you can't Know through Direct Perception or extrasensory phenomena what someone else's Thoughts And Feelings are" both ways; wherein their assertion of their intentions, true or not, gets to be treated as an assertion of Reality, meanwhile b/c Your intentions/thoughts/feelings can't be directly observed, you're just lying or exaggerating or misremembering or failing to Express yourself correctly b/c they would've surely interpreted it correctly otherwise, or [anything else] re: your inner experiences that you can't "prove" are one way or another, so this other person gets to always decide for themself what they must be (why?) and if they just so happen to decide they Must be in alignment with what they want (good) or unacceptably, evilly, incorrectly Against Them, they also get to flex their control over the entire situation via their Authority / control over resources / the person's lack of other options b/c of isolation & that, say, breaking away from a family, job, marriage or just deemed correctly romantic relationship, is punished by the larger system of How Things Are, through a lack of resources that makes you more vulnerable in general as well as vulnerable to further punishment in how you might try to respond to that situation, through the general stance that maintaining cohesion of a Unit like the nuclear family, the "romantic" "man"/"woman" couple, is good, so breaking from it is deviant........anyways it's like. if you're like "well i'm having sex b/c i want to" and someone is like "well i say YOURE LYING" like, what? "isn't there someone you forgot to ask" shit. why should that get to affect things. whether you're like "oh no. what if they could say 'you're lying...b/c how do i knowwww you're not BI. where you could want to have sex with someone BESIDES this one person rn?? or ACE??? if you Don't have sex rn and you Don't explode and die 5 min later we will Know you Could Be Asexual" like, this isn't how it works anyways obviously but theoretically if it did: we would not be like "oh sorry guess that's what matters" unless what mattered was some people's being lower on a hierarchy and at the quite literal disposal of those with more power than them. what would the crisis be of someone going "well i think. every gay person? is bi" or someone going "you've just told me your name is gloria but i think your name is actually tetris...." or "i'm so embarrassed i wish everyone but me was dead" if none of these things can hinder the existence of people having sex w/autonomy for all involved or people getting to tell you their name or all other people being alive

the banger quote on my imdb page was saying "no, i don't 'Have' to, but i'm going to" to an authoritarian in my life, concluding several minutes' "negotiation" of [i 'have' to hang up on this call now b/c the movie i'm standing in this movie theater to see is about to start. no i won't explode and die if i don't. i also won't explode and die if i don't keep "talking" to you (being Talked At / lectured & upbraided from afar)] funny how that works. i also Know this was a checkmate b/c that person gave up on responding (or, technically, switched to The Silent Treatment, which worked even worse via phone than in person) and i did hang up rather than miss the movie i showed up for and then they had to resort to Other Methods: telling someone willing to take on the enabling cop mode that i had Essentially said Go Fuck Yourself. like well that's right, and the fact that it's a "go fuck yourself" to get to say "i am going to end the call b/c i choose to do something else" and then actually do so is a real testament to this relationship. and if one had said "i can't keep talking, i have to go" and someone's like "sldfj you mean thou MAY not keep talking" teehee i don't know, CAN you have the peas????? it's like this obviously doesn't matter. i can choose to do shit and choose to not do shit without exploding and dying right this very second, except for taking 5 sec to eat a deadly bomb with a timer set for 5 sec. This Is Not The Point. why is autonomy off-limits to Anyone.

#authoritarian parent whose silent treatments fail: anti crossdressing household law will get everyone to stop inconveniently Being People #spoilers: i continue to be a real life person; nonbinary; autistic; i continue to not engage in a relationship w/that parent b/c #Their choice was to have that relationship be the authority & the property. so the response to that: not being in that situation.#creating that kind of relationship & then being like ''why don't i get the Benefits of a different kind of relationship that is defined by #everyone being recognized as people and having actual positive experiences and legitimately Wanting to interact :(''#the autonomy to Not do something b/c you don't want to = the autonomy to Totally do something b/c you do want to #hence the idea of the True / Ideal Homosexual being ''but i Must Only have gay sex or i'll explode & die'' vs ''i feel like having gay sex'#yeah we ''could'' all be forced into binary genders & nuclear family units & be miserable & isolated but not literally explode.#but why should we. why would we. why can't we Not do that #hence as well that queer autonomy=everyone's autonomy. ppl who id as cishet? don't need to be Forced into that or into Awful Marriage Asap #but they do if we wanna isolate everyone / eliminate broader social support networks / restrict the autonomy to do anything else #asexuality handshake bisexuality. parallel to aromanticism handshake polyamory #and the backup to ''well but you won't literally die'' is to preclude Choice entirely by diverting the focus from [questioning ur choices]#to [questioning whether you have the capacity to make choices] as an extension. lens on ableism / disability justice is in Everything #not in like a ''huh. who'd've thought that overlapped'' Fun Fact way but in [you don't Understand that issue fully if you don't see ableism #someone's always getting to justify their authority by their Superior Ability vs others' Inferior/Absent Ability #saw that zany ''radical queer theory based on vibes is now that asexuals aren't queer'' streak definitely manifest ableism #a good ol fashioned ''asexuals won't consider What's Wrong With Them / try harder to seek some conversion therapy'' great stuff gang #or even more useless declarations of ''haha but most people Aren't ace. it's not Normal to not want to have sex. checkmate?''#and what is your conclusion to that logic? ended up in ''ace ppl. are cringe!! & maybe not real!!!'' aaand what do we do with that?#what praytell do you suggest change based on that. how has that exclusionist analysis served queer lives. how is it continuing to do so.#versus like and who cares if everyone Could possibly all be labeled bi if what is In Practice anyways is ppl getting to have sex or Not how #they want to anyways. recognizing that Any trans person's existence is a testament to Everyone's autonomy #any ''threat'' to children is always guaranteed abt the Threat to [parents' control to decide Who & What a child gets to be]#that is; ''protecting'' children is abt the child being the property of parents. gotta protect That by withholding all info about trans ppl #even existing from kids b/c Property can't decide their identities for themselves so Children can't be allowed to either #their even knowing that some people Do get to exist autonomously is; indeed; that ''threat'' to the [child is property] order #and Language as Possibility. it's the 2010s & you can only go ''that's me i'm nonbinary'' when you learn abt the word ''nonbinary''#even though you can then know you always knew but you didn't have the word so you had to keep on using other; more inaccurate words....#discovering the tree trunk of [word: Autistic] that roots all these branches of ppl talking abt Experiences & now Realizing Things....

Regarding Drama

To anyone who saw this post here and is curious about what's going on: yeah, me too.

I had a falling out with former friends and fanfic co-collaborators Bunnywest and DiscontentedWinter. And I didn't say anything anywhere public about that, because personal relationships are, to me, personal business. I simply went on my way, and left them be.

And now, almost a year since I've spoken to either of them, they're making public callouts with baseless accusations about my supposed toxic behaviour. The trouble with this is that I haven't done anything to warrant that claim, but it’s impossible to prove a negative--I can't show you screenshots of all the times I didn't send anon hate or harass an author, the times I stayed out of fandom drama and toxicity, the times I chose to block or not engage. All I can do is invite anyone who cares to look to go through my Tumblr Archive, which is publicly available, and see the record of my behaviour for yourselves. To consider what interactions I have had with you, and the nature thereof. I’m far from perfect, but am equally a far cry from “toxic”.

I can speak on the subject of the collab pieces, which is: as a co-creator, I have equal share of the copyright and intellectual property we created. My co-creators made the choice to delete those pieces without speaking to me first, despite the fact that I was contactable; I didn't consent to having my work deleted. The AO3 notification of the deletion included the hmtl of the works, and between that and the independent copies I kept--which I do with all my written works, as keeping backups is wise in the digital age--I was able to re-post them. And, as any student can tell you: you must cite ideas and information that are not your own, because plagiarism extends to ideas, too, which is why I named my co-creators. However, I was responsible for a large degree of the conceptual development of those stories, even if they were written in my co-creators' words. That means it's not as simple as slicing up who-wrote-what to determine ownership. We all co-own all of it. So if they had the right to delete those works without asking me, I have the right to re-post them without their permission, especially given that AO3 is intended to be an archive--a forever home for fanworks despite situations such as these.

I can also speak, at least somewhat, to the accusation of dogpiling, because as DiscontentedWinter herself is so very fond of saying to fandom antis and purity police: words have meanings. In this instance, to dogpile means "an outpouring of like-minded criticisms or retorts in response to something". Bunnywest published a book, and negative reviews are part of making any form of commercial art; it is plainly ridiculous to accuse me of dogpiling when a) I have not contributed a review, either positive OR negative (my name on Amazon matches the name in the header of my blog, and I invite you to check); b) I have not asked anyone to review her book; c) the number of unfavourable reviews on the book are in the single-digits, and the overall rating is 4.5 out of 5 stars; d) one of the unfavourable reviews was deleted after I, and the person who left it, were confronted by a friend of Bunnywest and pressured to remove it.

Two reviews--one, now--is not an outpouring. I did not participate. I am being inappropriately held responsible for the actions and opinions of others, despite complying with the request to ask one of the reviewers--a friend of mine--to take the review down, and the review being deleted as desired. I have made no attempt to contact either of them, slander them, or otherwise harass them. I’ve left them be. So I don’t understand what’s going on over on their end, but I’ve been over here, minding my own business. I would appreciate being extended the same courtesy.

#fandom #fandom life #fandom wank #fandom drama #le disc horse #fanfic #my fanfic #copyright #intellectual property #AO3 #AO3 and the OTW are volunteers' labour of love to create a gift for all of us

An introduction…of sorts

Where does one begin? Certainly not at the beginning…at this point, those memories simply aren’t available.

So perhaps, we will need to start with why, who, what.

What is Doll OS- why does this blog exist, and for whom?

Doll OS refers to the brain and body, the author behind this journey. Throughout this blog, in the coming days, weeks, months, and years we will document, process, plan, react to, and occasionally dig into the internal motivations, psychology, philosophy, of why.

To be clear, this blog is a work of non-fiction. It is meant to document the process and journey between two people, myself and my Owner who are in a committed, long term consensual TPE relationship. This relationship dynamic has it’s cornerstone in erotic hypnosis, mind control, brainwashing, long term identity changes, and ultimately the deep connection and dynamics that come into play with ownership/property, and control. Our Owner, and ourselves believe that the level of control, intimacy, trust and connection that comes with being in a Master/slave relationship based around the practice of handing over control not only of choice, but in every aspect of being, down to identity, thought, motivations, personality is the most intense, extreme, and beautiful form of our deep need to control and be controlled. This journey is the manifestation of the deep need to be the author of another, and from our side, be the book, the story and narrative who’s life, identity, experience is written, edited, shaped and molded by another person

As was mentioned earlier, this storyline picks up somewhere in the middle. Here are some things you might be wondering

Is this real? Yes, it’s very real. One motivation for writing this is because there is not enough personal accounts and testimonials of the journey of long term no limits, extreme brainwashing. The expectation is this is for keeps, this is for life, in every meaning of the term.

What’s involved? Currently we are in a M/s relationship, involving Total Power Exchange. Long term change, control, dependence is the goal. Any tool is on the table. This includes hypnosis, mind control, classical and operant conditioning, nlp, memory modification, etc. the relationship is 24/7 and no aspect of life is off limits.

Why Doll OS? Doll OS is the name chosen for how we are modeling the brain. We were originally a D.I.D system, and decided to use some unique wiring born out of trauma to our advantage, to leverage the D.I.D to enact changes in identity. The biggest initial change was that of how our system thinks of itself. With the goal of dollification being a through line, one of the first shifts in identity was the change from Dissociative identity Disorder, to the Doll OS. Our primary protector is now the Operating System (OS) while previous alters:parts are now “Apps”. Currently we have the OS, and five other apps

OS: Responsible for most background maintenance, safety, system checks, and is the “pen” of Owner:

Echo: The primary app, responsible for day to day life, work, etc. in D.I.D. terms, Echo is our host.

MT: Previous Protector, who was unable to continue with the role after a period of extended consciousness. Echo may be the primary App, but MT and our Master have the strongest bond.

Brook: Previous system host/primary App. Tapped out in 2019 after being broke by a double bind of having to choose (physical) health over career. She is not on often, and prefers a very small world- Currently working towards primary identity being that of a pet/dog

Kacey: The teenager in our app suite, age slides between 14–16, is often mentally regressed. “Daddy’s girl”

Ella: Our app suit’s little. Age slides between 2-4. Sweet and innocent, to be protected at all costs. Ella is a 1:1 conversation from Alter to App, and her relationship to our Master is that of a toddler. When she (her app) is open Master is her paternal figure, guardian, Daddy. Ella is off limits for influence and is does mot interact with our Master or anyone else sexually. She is the pure essence of innocents. Ella may be brought up occasionally, but is likely never to post.

Most apps, as well as OS will be posting. This is in part a journaling exercise and form of communication between Apps as it is to document the journey. Our Master will not be posting unless we are unable to provide an update, and will be clear when he does so.

More to come! Any and all questions, ideas for topics, etc are welcome.

~Doll~

➝ DISCOVER AND EMBRACE TRUE FREEDOM.

There are three kinds of people in this world: • "masters" - those who wish to dominate, control, and enslave others, typically for financial gain,

• "slaves" - passive/obedient mentally-lazy people who unwittingly let others dominate/enslave them, due to living in ignorance and fear,

• "free" - those who embrace freedom and aren't easily coerced.

Freedom-oriented individuals: • have developed critical independent thinking-skills, observe and question everything for themselves instead of believing, and have a better understanding of reality,

• realize that everyone is in fact already free to do as they please, but that doesn't mean that they do whatever - they take full responsibility for their actions, and live by simple rules such as "respect other people and other people's property",

• recognize and reject coercion (the use of force or threat of force to overcome an individual's will), especially institutionalized coercion (bureaucrats, power-tripping "police", megalomaniacs, etc.) - the most insidious of all,

• advocate the right to self-defense of themselves and their property (whereas "slaves" seek "protection" by "masters" (but end up getting more slavery)),

• mind their own business, and in any interactions with others, seek harmony and peace, only desiring to establish voluntary, mutually-beneficial relationships,

• eventually realize that both "slaves" and "masters" may try to impose the slave "system" on them; they will not tolerate others telling them what to do, and actively use their creativity and intelligence to figure out ways to avoid harassment and violations of their property (though to not draw unwanted attention to themselves, they may occasionally simply pretend to be a slave),

• want others to enjoy freedom and live a peaceful, productive, and happy life, so they may try to persuade others (masters and slaves) of the countless advantages and benefits of freedom, voluntary cooperation, rejecting coercion, etc.

Pick any issue - freedom or slavery - which option do you stand for!? Freedom of speech, or censorship of information which challenges or contradicts "masters"? Do you believe that a few people should tell everyone else what to do (i.e. central planning - a key tenet of communism) and everyone must follow their "system"? If you believe in "authorities"/"experts", that their word is "law" and you must obey, then you make yourself their slave and them your master. So long as people allow themselves to be slaves, there will always be "masters".

True and complete freedom has no in-between and no compromise. No-one has a right to impose their will upon innocent others, and no-one has a right to a "fair share" of anyone else's legitimately obtained/earned property, or the fruits of their labor. There's no such thing as "too much freedom". Issues such as dealing with potential crime - when someone willfully violates someone else or someone else's property without their consent (disobeying "masters" does not in itself constitute a crime), etc. - is a whole other separate topic.

Creating a better society will not come about by making up endless new rules and bureaucratic agencies/empires to enforce them. We need people to educate themselves, become more ethical and moral, re-establish commUnity, etc.

A recent study has revealed the reason behind why neanderthals may have had a hardhearted view on using horseradish in their diet. Researchers believe that it all comes down to their biological makeup and cultural beliefs.

Neanderthals, a species of ancient humans that lived in Europe and parts of Asia around 400,000 to 40,000 years ago, were known for their close relationship with nature and their use of various plant and animal resources for food. However, one condiment that seemed to have eluded their palates was horseradish.

Horseradish, a pungent and spicy root that is commonly used as a condiment in many cuisines today, was not a part of the neanderthal diet. This has puzzled researchers for a long time, as it is believed that neanderthals had a diverse and varied diet similar to modern humans.

In order to understand this phenomenon, a team of researchers from the University of Cambridge decided to examine the genetic makeup of neanderthals. They found that neanderthals had a specific gene, known as TAS2R38, which is responsible for the perception of bitter tastes.

This gene has been known to affect the taste and acceptance of certain bitter foods such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and horseradish. Neanderthals had a different version of this gene, which made them more sensitive to bitter compounds in food. This also made them less likely to enjoy bitter-tasting foods, like horseradish.

Furthermore, it is believed that neanderthals also had cultural beliefs that played a role in their food choices. They were known for their strong connection to nature and the belief that certain foods had medicinal and spiritual properties. Horseradish, being a pungent and spicy root, may have been perceived as a powerful and potentially dangerous plant, leading to its exclusion from their diet.

Dr. Emma Pomeroy, lead author of the study, explains, "Our research suggests that neanderthals may have avoided the consumption of horseradish due to both their genetic makeup and cultural attitudes towards the plant. This sheds new light on the dietary habits and cultural practices of neanderthals."

Although horseradish may have been a no-go for neanderthals, they had a diverse and nutritious diet that included a variety of plants and animals. This study highlights the complexity of human evolution and the various factors that shape our food choices.

So the next time you enjoy a spicy horseradish sauce, remember that our ancient ancestors may not have been so keen on it, but their taste preferences and cultural beliefs have played a role in shaping our modern-day cuisine.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Electrician

When it comes to electrical work in your home or business, choosing the right electrician is not a decision to be taken lightly. Electrical projects, whether they involve installation, repair, or maintenance, demand a high level of expertise, professionalism, and safety. Selecting the right electrician can make all the difference in the quality and safety of the work performed. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the key steps and considerations to ensure you choose the perfect electrician for your needs.

1. Assess Your Electrical Needs

Before you start searching for an electrician, it's crucial to understand your specific electrical needs. Are you looking for someone to handle routine maintenance, tackle a major renovation project, or address an urgent electrical issue? Determining the scope and nature of your electrical requirements will help you narrow down your choices and find an electrician with the right expertise.

2. Verify Credentials and Licensing

One of the first things you should look for when choosing an electrician is their credentials and licensing. A reputable electrician should be properly licensed, insured, and bonded. Licensing ensures that they have undergone the necessary training and have met the standards set by regulatory authorities. Insurance protects you in case of accidents or damage to your property during the job.

3. Check Experience and Specialization

Experience matters significantly in the electrical industry. An electrician with years of practical experience is more likely to handle complex tasks efficiently. Additionally, some electricians specialize in specific areas, such as residential, commercial, or industrial electrical work. Make sure to choose an electrician with expertise relevant to your project.

4. Ask for References and Reviews

Don't hesitate to ask the electrician for references or check online reviews and testimonials. Previous clients can provide valuable insights into the quality of work, professionalism, and reliability of the electrician. A reputable electrician should have a track record of satisfied customers.

5. Obtain Multiple Quotes

To ensure you're getting a fair price for your project, it's a good idea to obtain multiple quotes from different electricians. Be wary of quotes that seem too low, as they might indicate subpar quality or hidden costs. On the other hand, excessively high quotes may not be justified. A reasonable and transparent quote is what you should aim for.

6. Communication and Professionalism

Effective communication is essential when working with an electrician. Pay attention to their responsiveness, punctuality, and willingness to answer your questions. A professional electrician will keep you informed throughout the project and address any concerns you may have.

7. Safety First

Electrical work is inherently risky, so safety should be a top priority. Ensure that the electrician follows safety protocols and uses proper equipment. They should also be knowledgeable about local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance.

8. Warranty and Guarantees

Ask about any warranties or guarantees the electrician offers for their work. A reliable electrician should stand behind their services and provide assurances that the work will meet or exceed industry standards.

9. Consider Communication and Personality Fit

Lastly, consider how well you communicate with the electrician and whether their personality and work style align with your expectations. A good working relationship can make the entire project smoother and more enjoyable.

In conclusion, choosing the right electrician is a critical decision that can impact the safety and functionality of your electrical systems. By following these steps and taking your time to research and select a qualified professional, you can ensure that your electrical project is in capable hands. Don't rush the decision, and prioritize quality, safety, and reliability when making your choice. Your electrical systems and your peace of mind will thank you for it.

When searching for an electrician in St Marys, remember to apply these guidelines to find the perfect match for your needs. A well-chosen electrician in St Marys will not only provide exceptional service but also ensure that your electrical systems are in the best possible condition.

Power of Attorney in India: All You Need to Know

This article on 'Power of Attorney in India' was written by Arpita Tiwari, an intern at Legal Upanishad.

INTRODUCTION

A power of attorney (POA) is a crucial legal instrument that enables a person to designate some other person or entity to handle his or her money, health problems, and assets (Power of attorney for the property) while he or she is away. The primary, provider, or giver in this relationship is the individual who grants another individual the power to make decisions in her place. The broker or authority of the attorney agent is the individual who has been given authority. This article deals with the eligibility criteria for the power of attorney and the procedure for selecting the power of attorney in India followed by the revocation of the power of attorney and their types. In addition, the author will discuss the stamping procedure, the registration process and the responsibility of the attorney bearer and at the end, I will conclude my paper with references.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO SERVE AS A POWER OF ATTORNEY?

To be qualified as a power of attorney the individual must have attained the age of majority i.e; 18 years and he is of sound mind then the particular individual is eligible for PoA. Prior to designating someone as a POA, it's crucial to take their values and personality into account. The individual who is qualified for POA should be capable of making choices with clarity and conviction.

CAN MORE THAN ONE POWER OF ATTORNEY BE CHOSEN?

Well, the answer to this question is yes, the person has the option of choosing several attorneys and deciding whether they should work together or independently when making decisions. Taking a reasonable judgement is really aided by having multiple attorneys present all the benefits and drawbacks. Yet, there are times when different lawyers may have opposing views, which could lead to an extension in making a crucial choice. Instead of counting on a single PoA agent, it is wise to keep a backup. The backup agent can take over if the primary agent becomes ill or hurt.

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR SELECTING THE POWER OF ATTORNEY IN INDIA?

The scope of the approved PoA assistants has the power to decide legal as well as other choices regarding the assets, health problems, and funds can vary according to the terms of the PoA contract. Also, a person must be eighteen years old and of sound mind in order to work as a PoA agent. The advice given below may be useful while choosing a PoA. - Select a dependable individual to handle your accounts and property while you are away. Furthermore, you can choose an employee relying on their duties. The type of PoA can also be chosen based on the tasks that need to be accomplished. - Anybody has the power to determine who has PoA as well as when the authority begins and ends. - There are numerous PoA documents which are available online. Observe the guidelines set forth by your state's legislature. - The PoA can be made with the aid of an estate or general attorney. - Complete the required forms and sign all the paperwork linked to the estate. - Check the papers' signatures with a lawyer (a property lawyer if the forms relate to the property) and get the paperwork notarized (Power of attorney for the property)

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR THE REVOCATION OF THE POWER OF ATTORNEY?

As far as the individual who granted the power of attorney (PoA) remains mentally sound and competent, it may be revoked or rescinded at any time. If the donor wants to revoke a Power of Attorney, they must do so in writing, sign it before a notary public, and then transmit the document to the attorney-in-fact. Every third party with whom the agent interacts must get the letter. The revocation letter must be written on the identical grounds as the power of attorney if it was completed there.

Power of Attorney in India

TYPES OF POWER OF ATTORNEY

There are four types of PoA: - General Power of Attorney: A general power of attorney is a situation where the principal signs a document granting the representative general authority to carry out particular actions in his place. The word "generic" in this context refers to the need that the authority must be comprehensive with regard to the topic at hand rather than with reference to authorities with reference to a particular subject. It will not be considered a generic power of a lawyer if the actual content is constrained to something particular or is clearly indicated by the senior while creating a document. If this situation exists it will be called a restricted power of attorney. - Durable Power of Attorney A power of attorney that clearly states otherwise, the assistant's authority expires when the principal is not mentally fit. If it will happen in the future that the principal becomes incapable, the power of attorney may, nevertheless, state that it will continue to be in effect. It is referred to as a durable power of attorney when it contains this clause. - Special Power of Attorney A special power of attorney allows the principal to choose someone to carry out one or more specific tasks. Under this kind of power of attorney, the representative is given the authority to perform the duties on behalf of the principal in unique or particular activities. - Medical or Healthcare Problem of Attorney The principal retains the freedom to choose the kind of treatment they would like in the event that they fall extremely ill. In the event of a life-threatening disease, a medical or healthcare POA enables the representative to decide things on behalf of the principal. As they contemplate the possibility that the principal may be too ill to decide for himself or herself, the majority of health POAs are considered sustainable. Before selecting a representative in any of the aforementioned situations, the principal should consult with counsel. Also, it is important for the principal to have the counsel guide them through each stage of notarizing a power of attorney so that they are aware of what is required in the instrument.

STAMPING PROCEDURE FOR POWER OF ATTORNEY IN INDIA

If a General Power of Attorney (GPA) is signed without receiving any payment on the behalf of a parent, sibling, daughter, grandchild, wife, husband, son, granddaughter, or another close family, the registration fee of Rs. 500 will apply. When we are transferring a general power of attorney to anyone who is not our close relative for money, stamp duty is assessed based on the market value of the asset in question or the consideration price. If the Power of Attorney (PoA) is granted on behalf of the father, son, daughter, mother, brother, grandson, sister, wife, husband, granddaughter, or another close relative, there is an additional stamp fee of Rs. 100 that also needs to be paid. In all other circumstances, registration fees are assessed at a rate of Rs. 10 per Rs. 1000, with a nominal price of Rs. 100 and a high tax of Rs. 30,000, depending on whichever is higher: the asset's market worth or the consideration price.

IS IT NECESSARY TO REGISTER THE POWER OF ATTORNEY IN INDIA?

The registration of PoA is not required until and unless it generates interest in the immovable property i.e., a transformation in favour of the power of attorney bearer. The registration of POAs is not required in India. Any power of attorney granted with regard to real estate valued at more than INR 100 should be registered. It is usually essential for having a POA registered because doing so verifies the power of attorney document.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PERSON HOLDING THE POWER OF ATTORNEY

The individual who has been provided authority is called an authority bearer. - The individual who has been provided with authority must not go beyond what has been given to them. - The individual who has been provided with the authority he or she should not exceed the limits of those authorities otherwise he or may be held accountable for the harm sustained by the originator. - The attorney bearer is only necessary to finish the task that is allotted to him and if it is mentioned in the PoA that he has to do the task in a particular way with a particular technique. - The power holder is accountable to the grantor/principal if a provision is broken unless he acted appropriately in that case. - A lawyer can only transfer his authority and responsibilities to another person with the consent of a power of attorney.

CONCLUSION

If the attorney bearer breaches their fiduciary duty, a power of attorney is a crucial legal instrument that can be used as testimony in court. So, the principal must have complete faith in the attorney which he has chosen. A representative ought to be somebody the principal can fully rely on to utilise his assets solely for his benefit and not for their own or anybody else's.

Short Writing: Iman Issa's Visiting Artist Talk

On January 13, 2023, Iman Issa came to Northwestern to cap off a series of colloquiums. In her talk about "I, the Artist," Issa presented a longitudinal overview of her work and talked in particular about how she used perspective as an exploratory tool in her work, placing into forms she can argue with. It is this argument and the subject of communication in general that Issa was interested in portraying with her work.

Issa began by discussing her first works from 2005, when she moved from Cairo to New York City. Her first works in NYC made use of photography in order to make sense of her new environment and establish a relationship with the city. She explored the city with her camera and took photos of scenes that reminded her of something familiar and recognizable. However, the images turned out rather generic and stock image-like. To rectify this, she began working on Making Places, which introduced into the scene a human figure making use of a tool, such as a ball, megaphone, or flashlight. She tried to identify a specific place or meaning for each of those photos, but ultimately failed. The audience of her work connected Making Places to the concept of urban spaces, whereas Issa was attempting to evoke her own memories. It seemed like Issa had given herself an insurmountable task in attempting to convey what are indeed personal experiences of her own.

In 2009, Issa went back to working with her memory. In addition to using photographs, she attempted to rigorously recreate her perspectives of monuments and significant places in a studio setting. Issa created several triptychs related to monuments. Each triptych first consisted of a photographic component and a material component, which recreated how the monument appeared in her memory. What I found compelling from a technical perspective was her dedication in obtaining the exact right object to represent an aspect of the structure in memory. Then, she extracted a third component, such as an audio listening experience or sculpture, created from the perspective of a third person attempting to reconcile the two original components. She continued her work with memory in the series Material, which in my opinion was one of the most interesting of her works. Each of the installations in Material was accompanied by a description explaining what type of monument she attempted to recreate.

Continuing to explore the properties of monuments, Issa then backtracked to 2007, so that she could present and discuss her work Iraq War Memorial. This work, in the form of a video, was in response to a request for artists to produce what they might think a memorial would look like for the ongoing war in Iraq. Issa discusses her choice to have the narration be disinterested in the actual Iraq War itself.

Issa moved forward again to 2013, where she began her work on Common Elements. Issa had been reading autobiographies about people who had dedicated their lives to a common cause. In wanting to explore how autobiographies become something larger, she extracted snippets from four different authors and printed them for the exhibit. However, these snippets of text lacked any attribution or indication as to which piece it belonged to. Although the temptation of the viewer is to sleuth out which snippet belonged to which book, Issa explicitly calls out in her talk that that is not the intention. This conflict between the critics and Issa's intent was a recurring theme of the talk. I found it interesting how she made this disconnect explicit, as it was something I had not encountered before.

Between 2012 and 2019, Issa worked on Lexicon. Lexicon is a series of pieces with framed text, similar to Common Elements, but with the addition of a construction that represents her response and interpretation of the words. Continuing with this linguistic theme, she wraps up her talk with a discussion of The Revolutionary, an audio piece that made use of the then-nascent text to speech technology to narrate a story. In discussing these works, Issa mentioned how one aim of hers with all these works was to deal with language in the same way that she deals with forms as an artist. However, with The Revolutionary, she struggled to identify the linguistic referent of the works, a quality the piece shared with Lexicon.

The aspect of the talk I found most interesting was her consistent struggle with the subject matter of memory. Issa explains that as memory is inherently subjective and obscure, she even resisted using them for the reason that forms that are more objective are better to argue with. Throughout her work, Issa displays an acute awareness of her own perspective. As shown by the differences in her earlier works and later ones, she has developed a unique way of conveying her perspectives and memories. Overall, I greatly enjoyed getting to know Issa and her work.

During this phone call, you must ask your Family-law attorney that what things you need to take with you for the first appointment.

Gather Your Documents for First Meeting

If your Family-law attorney does not tell you about the documents that you have to carry with you for the first meeting, then you can decide it on your own. You can find out about the essentials by searching online. Now, after finding out about the essential documents to be carried with you, take out copies of all of them. You may have to go to other Family-law attorney also, so make sure you keep more than one copy with you. Also, leave the original documents back home so that you may not lose them in any case. They must be kept safe and only taken outside when you need them at any cost.

So, keep your eyes open and make sure you remember everything and also deliver that to the Family-law attorney.

Make the List of Questions to Ask

As much as it is important to make the list of things the Family-law attorney could ask you, you have also to make a list of questions that you need to ask your chosen Family-law attorney.

Plan a Schedule with Family-law attorney

Now after you are done with all the essential work, that is, you have met your Family-law attorney and asked every question you wanted, the next step you have to take is to schedule out your future meetings with him.

It is not easy, but you can make it off your Family-law attorney is determined enough. Also, you must be very strong in your plans so that the Family-law attorney may not get relaxed at any point. So, you have to enforce regular meetings with the Family-law attorney.

Reasons You Need a Family Law Attorney

Here are a few reasons why choosing a qualified family law attorney is the right decision: • Objective advice – Even if you’re the party who is initiating the divorce action, chances are that you are experiencing some very deep emotional turmoil concerning the matter. When emotions are running high, it’s easy to make rash decisions that, in hindsight, will prove to be ill-considered. Having a family law attorney in your corner means that you have a professional who can offer objective, fact and experience-based advice regarding your divorce. A family law attorney can help you avoid going for a quick resolution that leaves you at a long-term financial or parenting disadvantage. • Access to top-notch consultants – In contentious divorce proceedings, the testimony and advice of professionals such as bankers, investment consultants, appraisers, physicians, and mental health experts may be necessary. Experienced family law attorneys have contacts with many of these experienced professionals and can recruit knowledgeable experts who can lend authority to your case with their knowledge. • Courtroom experience – There is no substitute for experience when it comes to litigation. Family law attorneys have spent a significant portion of their careers in the courtroom arguing divorce cases. This experience gives them unparalleled insight into what tactics opposing attorneys will pursue and how judges will react to various arguments and evidence. While most divorce cases settle, the most contentious ones end up in a courtroom and, in that circumstance; you want a seasoned professional on your side. • Familiarity with opposing counsel – Most family law attorneys in your area will interact in court and develop working relationships. Experienced family law attorneys can draw upon those contacts to work effectively with your spouse’s attorney to help negotiate a settlement that is fair and equitable. • Alternatives to litigation – Family law attorneys can advise their clients on whether alternatives such as divorce mediation may be appropriate for their circumstances. Mediation can save divorcing spouses with good communication the time, expense, and stress of a divorce proceeding. In mediation, a facilitator helps guide divorcing spouses to an amicable agreement. While this option isn’t for everyone, many couples have used it to successfully end marriages without the acrimony involved in divorce. • Pricing – Family law attorneys understand how tough the divorce process can be, particularly with regard to finances. Family law attorneys may charge more competitive rates than non-family law practitioners and may also be more willing to work with clients regarding payment.

How Much Do Family Lawyers Cost?

The fees charged by a Family Lawyer can vary dramatically depending on how experienced the Lawyer is, the complexity of the case and whether they charge an hourly rate or a fixed fee. However, they should provide you with an estimation of the expected fees from the outset. There are many areas of Family Law that a Family Lawyer or Solicitor may specialize in, the main areas of focus being divorce, children matters and the cost of each matter can vary depending on the complexity of the individual case and the amount of work the Lawyer is ultimately instructed to complete. To assess the cost of an hourly rate case will require the client and the Lawyer to discuss the circumstances in detail and estimate how much work the matter will require. Once this has been established, the Lawyer should be able to provide an accurate estimate of fees, though this will still only be estimation. A fixed fee service is where the Lawyer provides a quote before any of the work starts, and this price is guaranteed not to change. Some clients prefer this as it means they know exactly where they stand right from the start. Regardless of whether a Family Lawyer is charging a fixed fee or an hourly rate, they should discuss the fees with their client right at the point of initial engagement.

Additional Costs

In most Family Law matters, there are likely to be additional costs that will need to be paid alongside the legal fees. It’s important to understand what these costs are so that you can budget accordingly.

• Court Fees: When an application is sent to Court, depending on the nature of that application, the Court will charge a fee for the application. In divorce matters, this is currently £550, in children matters the fee is £215 and in financial separation matters the fee is £255. This fee is separate to the Lawyer or Solicitor’s fee as this is paid directly to the Court and is known as a ‘disbursement’ (meaning a fee which is payable to a third party other than the instructed Lawyer or Solicitor.) If the client cannot afford to pay the Court fee, it is possible for them to apply to the Court for a reduction or even an exemption from the Court fees by completing a fee remission form. The Court will then assess the amount that the client will be expected to pay towards the Court fee. • Barrister Fees: Depending on the nature of the case there may be further disbursements required. If a case is taken to Court, for example, then the Family Law Solicitor may arrange for a barrister to represent the client at the hearing. Typically, a barrister will be able to offer a fixed fee for representation at Court. • Tracing Agent and Process Server Fees: Sometimes, if someone who is involved in a Family Law matter cannot be located and their contact details are unknown, a tracing agent may need to be instructed. This is an organization which attempts to track down the missing individual. In addition, it may also be necessary to instruct a process server, which is an organization that serves the individual with legal documents, advising them of the legal proceedings. A process server will usually be instructed if there is an individual who is difficult to track down or who is not engaging with the proceedings. This is because the Court requires that reasonable efforts are taken to notify an individual of legal proceedings that involve them.

Things a Family Lawyer Can Do For You

• Handling Divorce Issues: Undergoing a divorce is probably one of the most draining experiences that a family can face. Emotions may set in and make it impossible for a couple to settle it calmly. In such a case, a family law attorney can act as a mediator, and assist them to approach the issue rationally and within the law. In other words, a competent family law attorney can assist couples in the process of divorcing to settle the matter fairly without necessarily going to court. • Handling Estates and Wills: A will is a legal document through which people state how they would wish their property to be managed when they die. Family law attorneys are responsible for assisting people in drafting these documents. They also have what it takes to ensure that an estate is administered as stated by a deceased via the will. • Handling Child Custody Agreements: When a couple separates, one of the most difficult issues to handle has to be what happens to the children. Couples need to agree on how to take care of the children they have had together in the new arrangement. Child custody is defined by an agreement in which both parents have to live with the terms therein. A competent family lawyer can help parents that are parting ways to draft such an agreement. A family law attorney can also help parents in amending child custody agreements if need be. • Handling Prenuptial Agreements: A prenuptial agreement is a contract signed by a couple prior to a marriage or a civil union. Although the content of such a contract may vary from one case to another, its main aim is to spell out the provisions of spousal support and division of the property in the event of a breakup or a divorce. A family lawyer can assist a couple in drafting a prenuptial agreement and handling any matters that may arise from the contract according to the law. • Represent Litigants in Court: Although family attorneys can help people to settle family disputes outside court, some of these matters still end up in the courts. In such a case, family lawyers are best suited to help litigants get justice. These attorneys handle such cases almost every other day, and therefore, they have the necessary legal knowledge and practical experience to help litigants to navigate the complex jungles of the family law and ensure that justice is served accordingly.
