Following the passing of music legend Aretha Franklin, news surfaced the ¡°Queen of Soul¡± did not have a will. Music icon Prince also didn¡¯t have a will at the time of his death.How important is it to have a will?Certified financial planner Jonathan Duong says everyone should have a will, no matter your age or financial status."Even if you don't have kids, as long as your situation includes some level of basic complexity where you have different types of assets, then absolutely, a will is going to be a proper document at a minimum to have in place," says Duong.  For those who only have assets like a 401k or a life insurance policy that has a designated beneficiary built in, a will might not be necessary.  ¡°But for many other things, there is no legal way to control where that asset goes without a will," explains Duong.  Getting a will often times entails hiring an attorney and can cost nearly ,000, but Duong says you don¡¯t need to spend that much to have a proper will.  "Typically, their employer--if their employed with a larger company or a public organization--may offer a legal plan, within their employee benefits," says Duong.  There are also online resources like willed.com or doyourownwill.com that will help you create one for less than 0. 1301

For anyone who used to play with slot cars as a child, Sweden's new electrified road might bring back some memories.In the first of its kind, the Scandinavian country is trialling the world's first public road which allows electric vehicles to recharge while driving. Similar to a slot-car track, vehicles are able to connect to an electric rail that's embedded into the road.Sweden has a goal of achieving a completely fossil fuel free vehicle fleet by 2030, so this electrified road is part of several projects the Swedish Transport Administration has created to develop and test technologies that may be able to help the country reach its target.In this particular project, 'eRoadArlanda', electricity is transferred via a movable arm that attaches to the tracks built into the middle of the road. While the system is designed with the capacity to feed heavier vehicles such as trucks, it's also developed to work for cars and buses.When vehicles approach the track, a sensor from the car or truck detects the electrified rail and the movable arm lowers from underneath the vehicle and inserts into the rail. The arm has been designed to be flexible, providing the car, or truck, the freedom to move around the road without disconnecting."One of the most important issues of our time is the question of how to make fossil-free road transportation a reality," Hans S?ll, chairman of the eRoadArlanda says."We now have a solution that will make this possible, which is amazing. Sweden is at the cutting edge of this technology, which we now hope to introduce in other areas of the country and the world."The track stretches along two kilometers (1.2 miles) and has been installed on public road "893" just 30 minutes outside of Stockholm.The eRoad has many advantages, S?ll says. If implemented it will mean electric vehicle batteries can be smaller -- and therefore lighter -- because they won't need to retain as much charge, the vehicles will then be cheaper to manufacture and will ultimately be more sustainable.For a heavy truck to be 100% electric, he explains, it would need a battery that weighs 40 tonnes. But if technology like the eRoad was readily available, the truck's battery would be able to weigh as little as 600 kilograms.It would also fix a wider issue that many electric vehicle owners face: The worry and inconvenience of keeping vehicles charged."Today you're not 100% sure how far you can go with your battery but if you have a combination of electric roads you will feel a little bit more confident that you'll get where you want to go," S?ll says.The technology is also safe and adverse weather such as rain, snow and ice should not cause any major issues thanks to draining and usual maintenance. The electricity also isn't a risk to humans or animals."There's no electricity at the surface and the rail is only electrified if an actual authorized vehicle is passing, so if you don't have an electric vehicle that's authorized to use the electricity, the electricity will not be turned on at all -- it will not be on 24/7."There will also be plenty of signage around the area indicating the road is electrified and the system is equipped with safety circuits.S?ll says while the new project cost €6.4 million (.7 million) to develop, if it were more widely implemented across the country it would eventually work out less than €1 million (.2 million) per kilometer to build.That is, if the government decides to implement it nationally."The Government wants to test one or two additional technologies ... that will then be evaluated in two years or so, (and) after that they will pick out one of those technologies (that have been tested) to build a longer pilot stretch that will be between 20 and 40 kilometers," he says.For now, the eRoad will be used and trialled for two years by a truck carrying freight in order to determine how well the innovation works under various weather conditions and in conjunction with normal road traffic.The-CNN-Wire 3992

Fourteen ducklings were rescued by Suffolk County Police after they fell into a storm drain on Long Island Sunday morning.It happened around 9:20 a.m. when authorities received a 911 report about several ducklings that fell into a storm drain and the mother duck was waiting nearby in front of Napa Auto Parts in Bay Shore.Officers Jack Ward and Joseph Bianco responded and removed the grate covering the drain and were able to grab four ducklings, police said.The others retreated into the tunnel, becoming unreachable, according to police.Another officer responded to the scene and downloaded a duck-calling app, which attracted the ducklings to the sound, coming back into reach, said authorities.All but one of the remaining ducklings were retrieved.Another officer arrived and retrieved the last duckling with a net, said policeAll 14 ducklings were reunited with the mother duck. 893

For the first time in more than a decade, a new treatment to improve brain function for Alzheimer¡¯s disease has been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for review.This was after the drug trial was stopped and then a second look revealed some promising results.The Waterhouse family has seen the impact of Alzheimer¡¯s firsthand.Gina and Steve Waterhouse have been a team most of their lives. They¡¯ve been married for 43 years and ran several businesses together. Then in 2016, things started to change. Gina didn¡¯t notice anything but employees at the family's businesses did.¡°I wasn't remembering some of the stuff I was supposed to be doing,¡± said Gina.Gina was diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease that year.¡°They said, 'well you can come back in a year. We will check and see how you're doing, or we have a drug trial if you're interested,'¡± said Gina.Gina and Steve spent the next two and a half years at the Mayo Clinic, where Gina eventually got high doses of the drug aducanumab.Steve started to notice Gina was remembering more things and reported it back to doctors.¡°He just smiled and said, 'let me tell you what we're seeing. We're seeing cognitive improvement. And it¡¯s the first time in my career.' These doctors said in their career that we've ever seen it,¡± said Steve.¡°He was so excited,¡± said Gina.Then in 2019, the drug trial suddenly ended. Gina says she felt like she¡¯s gone downhill a little since it did.Rebecca Edelmeyer, PhD, with the Alzheimer¡¯s Association, says the trial stopped early based on a futility analysis.¡°It was a statistical analysis that was done by the Biogen team, predicting that the trial would not actually be successful,¡± said Edelmeyer.Edelmeyer says then upon a second look at the trial data, they found that those people on the highest dose of the drug were seeing improvement in their brain function. She called it a very important moment for the Alzheimer¡¯s research community.Now, the government will determine whether or not the drug is safe and effective enough to use.Steve mentioned there were some possible side effects like bleeding of the brain, but Gina did not experience any.Meanwhile, Gina can no longer take the drug. She and Steve have decided to retire.¡°We just decided tomorrow has to come today and we're having a great time. We're loving life,¡± said Gina.You can learn more about aducanumab here. 2394

Fewer women are scheduling mammograms due to COVID-19 fears, according to a local doctor.At TriStar Summit Medical Center, Dr. Rhonda Halcomb with Centennial Women¡¯s group, said they¡¯re being careful.¡°From the time that you check in here, patients are pre-screened and screened, we provide masks and hand sanitizer here in the building, and here in the office," said Halcomb.Even though we¡¯re in the middle of a pandemic, she said routine mammograms are still important.¡°Breast cancer, in general, is the number one cancer in women.¡±She¡¯s sad that fewer people are showing up, or postponing their routine checks.¡°It breaks my heart in general that people are scared to take care of themselves,¡± Dr. Halcomb said.First hand, she has seen how mammograms can save lives.¡°Breast cancer to me has affected several of my family members. I had early breast cancer detected by screening.¡±Dr. Halcomb said death rates have decreased since the 1970s due to more people getting diagnosed with breast cancer - early.¡°Mammograms detect breast cancer before someone can feel a breast cancer before the doctor can feel the breast cancer in the breast,¡± Dr. Halcomb said, ¡°Mammograms are just as important as they¡¯ve ever been.¡±Actress Kelly Preston just died from breast cancer at 57-years-old. She leaves behind her husband, John Travolta. They were married for 28 years.WTVF's Alexandra Koehn was first to report. 1408
