Error on tax return from last year, HMRC now sent nasty letter
The Phantom posted a topic in HMRCGot a sudden issue with HMRC who have sent me a nastygram for what looks an error I have made on my 2015 self assessment return. I was made redundant and had a few jobs tying me over (as an employee) until I found a good new employment. To support my income I also did some catalogue selling for one of these door to door companies plus some selling on ebay. As this extra income needs to be taxed I did a self assessment. I entered all the details as requested online and submitted. My tax liability was adjusted through my next PAYE code and all seemed fine until a few days ago when I received a letter from HMRC stating that they were investigating my return as there was some income missing and they wanted me to call them by the 13.06 to help with their investigations. They are alleging a company gave them an additional income figure of £3110.- which was not showing on my return. They say the company told them tax of £160.- was paid against this to HMRC. They say I still owe an additional £500 off pound in tax plus they may fine me. I was totally perplexed as I had no idea what this was all about. The company named on the HMRC letter (let's call them M) was one of my previous employers in the period when I had a few employments after my redundancy. I left them end of May 2014. Before I started another employment (with company P) which only lasted 6 months or so before starting my current employment (with company L) Going back through my records I have a P60 for the tax year ending April 2014 from company M. Then I have a P45 from company P and all other records are from my current employer, L. I have now realized with shock that I do not have any P45 from company M covering the time from April to May 2014 in my records and that the amount in the letter from HMRC must be the wages for those two months April and May 2014. As I have no P45 in my folder for those two months I obviously omitted those eight weeks of employment from my return when I completed it in 2015. I tried to phone HMRC but they are closed by the time I get home from work. Although it would appear I made an error on my return, what I don't understand is, why HMRC calculates £3110.- of salary at a 20% rate of income tax. I have never paid 20% income tax as my income was never that high. (Always below 20 K pa) So why do I owe £500.- in tax on £3110.- of wages which have already gone through the PAYE system at the time. I am totally confused about their calculation.
My friend I live with owes some council tax which he has been paying back monthly. He owes 246 pounds, and was supposed to make a payment on 15th month. He forgot, it was not a deliberate oversight. The bailiff came to the door, thought he was going to smash the door down. I went running down in my nightie wondering what the hell was wrong. This man just said you are being recorded and can I speak to so n so. I am working for the council, and I am from Bristol and sutor. I replied he's not in. Then he said can you ring him and I said no because I'm waiting for a very important call. This was true btw. I have an autistic son who is very depressed He then gave me the most horrendous look, didnt believe a word I was saying, and no chance to say anything else. Pushed a letter in my hand. Get him to ring me. When my friend got in he rang the man and say I believe you have been to my home, and tried to explain that it was an oversight. THe man just said I want the whole amount by Wednesday ,or I am removing goods and your car if you have one. He asked if I work which I do part time, but my friend said it's nothing to do with you, its my debt, and we were not living in the same property then. My friend then put the phone down on this obnoxious person who was really shockingly nasty in his manner. Rang the council tax to advise them, cant take the debt back. Gave me a number to call Bristow and sutor number office Guess what their computers were down. Though the man on the phone said they can't take goods if they've not been in the house. my big concern is my huge autistic son who has big anxiety issues and will not take kindly to us being threatened. Most of the stuff in the house is mine, nothing of any value. The car is on HP and I need it to get my son to appointments, he never goes anywhere unaccompanied, because he can't What can I do we don't have that money till my friend gets paid again on the 15th i don't have enough to pay it all from what I have left. He had every intention of paying it. any advice in a short time would help 2 days to find this money .......
Help with Harlands Nasty CRS Warnings
Goingup00 posted a topic in Gyms and Health ClubsHello I hope you can help me, I joined the local Gymetc in August 2014, in January I decided I wanted to cancel my membership so I wrote to the gym and sent a cheque for the 6 remaining payments. I didn't hear anything back so presumed it was all ok, I then received a letter to say my Direct Debit hadn't been paid, I rang the gym and told them I had sent payment by cheque to cancel as my friend had done the same and they said it was fine. Fastforward to another month and I received another letter from CRS stating that I was now being fined for failure to pay to the tune of £307.25 to include arrears and a penalty clause. I emailed them to advise what I had done and said that I was only willing to pay what I owed 6 months payments and if I hadn't heard back within 14 days then I would presume the matter was resolved. It took 6 weeks for them to email me to say they had contacted the gym and that I was lying and I still owe £307.25 they claim I only made 4 payments but I paid my first month up front by debit card and then a further 4 so I owe 7 if I am correct? I then received another threatening letter so I sent the standard holding email asking for a copy of my contract as I have never seen or signed anything I paid over the phone when I joined. I then received the following email back today very lengthy and now I am really worried, I need to renew my mortgage soon and am concerned that I will struggle if they have registered defaults against me. I have been in tears tonight and finally decided to join your forum for help. Please can anyone help? The Thread is below Dear Mrs xx Re: CRS Ref No: Further to your email of 1st July 2015 we would point out that you have entered into a legally binding agreement with GymEtc to pay a minimum of twelve payments of £21.99 by Direct Debit of which you have paid only four. Your only dispute to date has been that you allege to have paid the remainder of your contract by cheque. We suspended action against you, investigated this one and only dispute and have furnished you with clear explanation as to why your claims are invalid. Please explain, therefore, why we should not continue to pursue you for this balance which we have every reason to believe is correct and due? If you are unsatisfied with our conduct then we recommend you take independent legal advice, however, you will be unable to make a complaint to the Office of Fair Trading because they have not existed for more than a year. They were succeeded by the Financial Conduct Authority on 1st April 2014, however, as of 1st June 2015, we are not regulated by the FCA either. With regards to your dispute of the additional fees which have been added you have implied that it is your opinion that the charges you have incurred are unreasonable, unenforceable and unlawful. We dispute this position. In the case of Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v New Garage & Motor Co Ltd (1914), when considering deciding whether a charge applied at a rate specified at the outset of the agreement was a penalty, Lord Dunedin set out that: "It is no obstacle to the sum stipulated being a genuine pre-estimate of damage, that the consequences of the breach are such as to make precise pre-estimation almost an impossibility. On the contrary, that is just the situation when it is probable that pre-estimated damage was the true bargain between the parties ( Clydebank Case, Lord Halsbury; Webster v. Bosanquet, Lord Mersey)." The above applies to the cost of £25.00 applied in line with clause 6 of the terms of this agreement, which you have agreed to be bound by, and states that "If you fail to pay any monies due under this agreement or if any Direct Debit is returned unpaid or any cheque is returned unpaid or if any other form of payment is not honoured for whatever reason, you shall pay us on demand an administration fee of £25 (which we require to cover our costs of seeking to pursue such payment from you)." £25.00 is the amount deemed by Harlands' directors as representative of their average costs in dealing with the administration involved with a missed or returned payment. When they submit for a payment by Direct Debit which is then returned, they are charged by the bank. This amount does not amount to £25.00, however, and we concede that the cost of the paper, envelope and franking of the default letters does not make up the entirety of the rest of the sum, however, as a business they have to pay overheads for staff wages, whose employment would not otherwise be required if it were not for the missed or returned payments and furthermore pay overheads for office space and increased usage of utilities, equipment, furniture and stationery to accommodate these staff and the processes involved with the administration involved with missed or returned payments, costing hundreds of thousands of pounds every year. It is our position, therefore, that all of these costs are incurred as a direct result of a breach of contract by those who default on their agreements, which, in this instance, is you. The above precedent also applies to the to our own collection fees, which are applied at the outset of debt recovery action to cover all expected costs associated with that action. This is in line with clause 8 of your agreement, which states: "If you fail to pay any amount due under this agreement for a period of more than thirty days, then we may pass the debt to a third party company for collection. The reasonable and direct costs incurred in employing the third party company will be borne by you including costs in tracing you if you have changed your address without telling us." To be clear, the addition of these charges in such circumstances is stipulated in the terms of your agreement. It is our position, based upon legal advice, that our charges are lawful and in line with all relevant guidance. We are unable to enclose a signed copy of your minimum term membership agreement, as this was entered into via an online sign up process called SNAP and as such, no signed physical document exists. We assure you, however, that despite this, it remains a legally binding agreement, and to our knowledge is fully enforceable. We have, however, sent in the post a copy of the terms and conditions of that agreement, as well as all of the information transmitted from the website at the time of joining, including the personal details you supplied (highlighted in green) and the product information supplied to you (highlighted in yellow). Our position remains as previously advised. If you are not willing to set up a payment plan with us, we have no alternative but to proceed with further action against you. We will hold this for a further 7 days. If you advise us again that you do not intend to pay, we will continue our collection procedure, but will not continue to enter into further correspondence as our decision has been made. Payment can be made by Credit/Debit card by calling us on 01444 449165. Alternatively, cheque/postal orders should be made payable to Credit Resolution Services and sent to CRS, 2nd Floor, Rockwood House, 9-17 Perrymount Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16 3TW. A payment plan can also be set up if you are unable to settle in full, although we do charge a little extra for this. If you are experiencing financial difficulty, there are organisations who offer free debt advice and assistance such as Step Change (0800 1381111), National Debtline (0808 8084000) and your local Citizen Advice Bureau.

On 01/07/2015 20:30, Dear sir or madam, I refer to your email and numerous letters recently about my GymEtc Membership 3234. I have been unable to deal with this recently due to other pressing personal matters. The steady stream of correspondence from CRS has been an unwanted distraction at a time when it was least needed. If you continue with these lengthy intimidatory letters, I will make a formal complaint to the OFT without further warning. Please note I will not be paying any administration charges because, despite what you suggest, they are penalty charges. To enable me to properly consider your demands, please send me a copy of the membership agreement which I agreed to along with the related terms and conditions.

marlin nasty tactics
gayles power posted a topic in Debt Collection AgenciesDear Caggers, I wonder if I could ask for a little advice. I fell on hard times some years ago and was paying a very small amount to 2 different companies in 2011 for debts I was told I had to pay by ex husband. After we divorced I moved and changed banks and it looks like one or two DD's didn't get transferred over, I heard nothing until last year and had assumed things were written off till I got a letter from Cabot last June. I sent the CCA letter and heard nothing more. Last Monday 9th June I received a phone call asking for me in my old married name. I refused to answer the security questions, they refused to say who they were, and they hung up. 2 days later, 11th June, I get a letter from Marlin Financial Services saying I have 7 days to reply as there is no good reason why the outstanding debt they now hold has not been repaid. This alleged debt has been passed to them from Cabot. I have no idea what debt this is, there is nothing on any of the letters that I can identify. My credit record is absolutely clear. The nastiness part comes in after sending Marlin the CCA letter and postal order on the 13/6/14. I received 2 letters from them on the 19th. One was my CCA letter and postal order back informing me that I hadn't filled in the postal order correctly, so I wrote along the top on the line provided, ''Marlin Financial Services'' - and sent it all back 1st class recorded to sign for again. The 2nd letter was threatening all sorts of litigation as there was no good reason why I hadn't arranged a payment plan with them and the next step was solicitors and court. It gave me 7 days to reply with a suitable repayment proposal, the letter is dated 14th June. I received it on 19th June after coming home from work, after the post has gone so there was no way I could reply in time for their 7 day deadline. NASTY!! So the letter timeline. 1st dated 7th June, received 12th June. (To reply within 7 days). CCA letter sent 13th June 1st class recorded to sign for. 2nd dated 14th June, received 19th June (To reply within 7 days). 3rd received 19th June,to fill in postal order - sent back 1st class recorded to sign for. These people are not giving me any time to reply before their deadlines run out! Letters are apparently spending 5 days in the postal system before they reach me! The CCA request with correctly filled in postal order hasn't been signed for yet, its likely to be Monday for this:. I would appreciate anyone's thoughts on what is likely to happen next.
It is a fixed term laon agreement that I took out in June 2010 for the purchase of a car. It was a fixed term loan for 15k with 5k charges added and was for 60 months at 350pm. Paid every month up until Jan this year. Sent them an I & E asking to write off ...said no. I have had numerous letters off them adding charges at £25 a time and I wrote to them again on on 5th MArch offering a reduced payment of £200pm. No response so wrote again on 3rd April enclosing copies of all previous letters. Then had an income and exp form back with a rather sloppy written comp slip once again sent the I & E I had sent before which is the national debtline one. Has a letter back dated 11th Apr asking me to ring them. Now I know you are all gonna say I should never ring but thought it would be easier ...what a mistake! The guy on the phone said the following:- I should sell my car and then keep say 2k of the money to buy another and pay the rest off the loan? I replied not an option as one I need the car for work etc and also I would not get much for it and would be like giving it away and then I'd still owe most of the loan anyway. They could put a charge on my house. I replied no equity. He then threatened that they would take me to court and I pointed out that I felt an offer of £200 was a fair one in consideration of my circumstances and that I'm sure a judge would too! he asked for a landline and I replied I wanted all correspondance to be in writing ..he said they needed a number to get in touch and I said get in touch by post. then went to say that I would be fined over £100 if they couldn't get in touch! I replied that he should put a note on my account that all corresspondance will be answered promtly in WRITING! I also asked about the charges being added and he replied that as they are not willing to accept my offer charges will still be added!!! Has anyone had any dealing with these ... they are being really unfair in my opinion ..not sure whcih way to go with this please help x
Nasty estate agent
intree posted a topic in Financial Legal IssuesIn 2010 we were trying to sell a house, on 18/05 we signed a HIPS agreement, on 20/05 they were terminated by the government, accordingly we cancelled on 20/05. The estate agency have now passed this to their inhouse debt collectors who sent us a draft warning claim form from Northampton County court, stating we owe then 299+vat or if it goes to court 768, where they will seek further costs. As we have cancelled they state, the cancellation is not possible (3 years later) as we had agreed to wave our right to the 7 day cooling period by our initialling the clause, (which we did not initial) They prepared the form for us, signed it 17/05/10 then we signed it 18/05/10, then cancelled 20/05/10 Can they ask for a payment for something which is terminated, and then cancelled within the 7 days cooling off period (they say ye they can). The original form signed was by a joint party me and my brother but the court claim is in my name only as they say only I am liable?? Would I defend this claim as a vexatious claim and an abuse of the court process and are the debt collection department allowed to issue a DRAFT court claim form, to extract money from us by using this as a threat to litigate? I am a bit confused as they are hell bent on taking this to Court in 7 days, stating they are owed the money in full, despite the cancellation, as the cooling off period is not relevant. Please can I get some Advice and how I CAN defend this claim in full as I do not have 349 to pay them let alone 750 at this time of the year when I have done nothing wrong, we never did sell the property through the agents and in the end it was taken off sale, but they argue the HIPS certificates are there if we make the payment to view, and we are fully liable, whether we sold or not and regardless of the abolishing by the Government of the HIPS
job centre plus, nasty manager
postggj posted a topic in Benefits and HMRCMy brother has been really having a hard time in his local job centre. They are nothing more than dictatorial obnoxious &%$"*. I make that statement as i have proof by way of covert recordings made through a ball point pen with an AV attachment that i lent him. These people really do think they are god in breaching a multitude of primary legislation either through ignorance, or performance management techniques. Over the last eight weeks, he has made numerous attempts to request an appointment with a department manager over his treatment at the hands of the benefit staff, all requests were declined. Based on the evidence collated, i hit the computer and typed up an official complaint as to the departments own complaints procedure. when he went into the employment office today, he handed the letter over to the lady on reception and waited to be called to have his monthly interview. During the interview, the office manager came over and said that the compalint will be discussed when his interview had finished. This interview with the department manager was supposed to be the first tier in the departments complaints resolution procedure. This manager was more interested in protecting and standing up for his department staff rather than dealing with the issues of the complaint, and constantly brow beats my brother with the tone and posture of this manager. The upshot was that he has requested a typed up response as to the content of the meeting. ( the manager was shocked at that request) The manager has stated that statement (minutes) will be ready when he next signs on. well they are given 15 days on the compalints resolution first stage. If he is not satisfied with that response then the complaint wil be elevated to tier two, Director General of Operations for theDepartment for Work and Pensions. The point i am making in all of this is how did we become as a society so numb where this policy is accepted as the norm. It would be wrong for me to blame all benefit staff as most are probably hard working and compassionate, but the front line staff on these videos is the clearest indication yet of an endemic process driven by policy and/or performance management techniques.

text: In this extended abstract, we discuss the use of iteratively-supported formulas (ISFs) as a basis for computing strongly-supported models for Kleene Answer Set Programs (ASPK). ASPK programs have a syntax identical to classical ASP programs. The semantics of ASPK programs is based on the use of Kleene three-valued logic and strongly-supported models. For normal ASPK programs, their strongly supported models are identical to classical answer sets using stable model semantics. For disjunctive ASPK programs, the semantics weakens the minimality assumption resulting in a classical interpretation for disjunction. We use ISFs to characterize strongly-supported models and show that they are polynomially bounded.

My effort to help books find their way into the hands of kids who need them (new books to keep, to own, to have forever) is off to a flying start...and hit its first bump...all in one week. To which, I say, HOORAY! If there weren't bumps along the way, I would find myself questioning the value of the journey. So bump #1 is: I'm going to rename the initiative.
Originally, I called it "Kids Need Books," but Jarrett Lerner helpfully pointed out that the wonderful Ann Braden had launched an earlier effort using that name (with the hashtag #kidsneedbooks). So I reached out to Ann and Jarrett, apologizing for inadvertently using the same name (bump!) and offering to change the name of my effort. They felt it was okay to keep both with the same name (very gracious and generous!), but upon reflection I've decided to change the name to avoid further confusion. So I'm now going to call my initiative kids+books—and I stand ready to apologize to anyone who might be using that name, too!
I strongly encourage everyone who would like to learn more and participate in Ann's project to visit http://annbradenbooks.com/2018/05/kidsneedbooks/. There, you'll see that Ann, too, was inspired by Donalyn Miller (that woman is inspirational) and her message of kids needing books.
So, a new name, a new week, a new day: kids+books. It's a good equation.

While praising federal payday loan rule, Indiana advocates call for further action from state lawmakers
On Thursday, October 5, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a rule that will reduce the harms of payday lending in Indiana. On a press call Friday, October 6, advocates from the Indiana Assets & Opportunity Network, representatives of faith and military / veterans' organizations, and a payday borrower spoke in favor of the rule, but noted that the CFPB did not have the authority to change the cost of payday loans. They called on Indiana lawmakers to take further action to lower the interest rate – currently capped at 391% APR.
The Consumer Bureau's rule requires lenders to evaluate a borrower's ability to repay a payday loan and still meet their basic needs before issuing such loans. The rule also allows lenders to issue a limited number of loans to a borrower if they choose not to conduct ability-to-repay tests. This will reduce the cycle of debt that is common with payday loans – the average borrower takes 9 or 10 loans per year, paying over $400 in interest to repeatedly borrow $300. These loans drain Indiana's economy of $70 million per year solely in abusive fees.
The rule provides exemptions; one of which permits lenders issuing conventional payday loans of up to $500 to forgo the full-payment test if successive loans are two-thirds that of the previous loan. While this partially limits potential consumer harm associated with unaffordable loan payments, the fundamental problem of egregious interest rates, coupled with lack of evaluating ability to repay, persists.
The rule is currently set to take effect in 21 months, but advocates anticipate a long fight ahead. The House and Senate will likely try to roll back the rule, putting the financial well-being of working families at risk. Time and again, the industry has leveraged its profits so that it enjoys special privileges. Indiana's congressional delegation and state lawmakers must prioritize the needs of their constituents, not those of the payday loan industry.
Transcribed statements from the press call can be found below and the full CFPB rule can be found here.
Statements on the CFPB's Payday Loan Rule
(audio recording available upon request)
Erin Macey, Indiana Institute for Working Families and co-lead of the Indiana Assets & Opportunity Network
After five years of research and stakeholder input, including letters of support from many of us here in Indiana, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a final rule to begin to address the harms of payday lending. Indiana Institute for Working Families, the Indiana Assets & Opportunity Network, and others on this call have eagerly awaited this important step forward.
The fact that the CFPB's rule asks lenders to assess a borrower's ability to repay a loan addresses the fundamental problem with the payday lending model: these loans are made to low- and moderate-income borrowers without regard to their financial situation effectively trapping them in a very costly cycle of debt. The average payday borrower takes 9 to 10 loans per year, paying over $400 in interest to repeatedly borrow $300. Sixty percent of borrowers in Indiana take out a new loan the SAME DAY that their old loan is due–and by the time rent is due, more than 8 in ten have taken a new loan.
While we applaud the CFPB for taking this step and ask that our Congressional delegation support the rule, the CFPB does not have the authority to address the interest rate of payday loans. 391% APR is usury. We now look to our state lawmakers to establish reasonable caps on lending that promote safe and affordable access to credit and keep borrowers out of the debt trap.
Mary Lee McKenzie, former payday borrower from Southeastern Indiana
These businesses promote this as a short term fix, but actually it can become a life time involvement once you do a cash advance and you think you can pay off the loan in two weeks–that just does not happen. Something else will arise and you just pay the fee and try to get through the next two weeks and hope you can pay it off. It continues into a cycle where the fee becomes part of your budget.
Personally, I am a college graduate with a good job. I have been on my job for 14 years. However, I have been divorced for 16 years. My ex-husband did not pay his portion of the debt and it came back on me. He also was always behind on child support and did not pay the other obligations he was required to pay in the divorce. This made it a daily struggle to survive. When one is in a situation and there are children involved, you do what can get you through the moment, the hour, and the day.
Payday loan businesses have gotten me into a mess! They do not meet your short term needs. These businesses become a lifetime ball and chain that will drag a person into a worse financial situation than they were in the day before.
I personally could not have gotten out of this cash advance cycle unless it was someone who cared enough and lent me the money to get out–actually gave it to me. We need to get a control on these cash advances so they don't allow such large amounts because a person, when they're in the situation, they will take a large amount thinking they could pay it back and they can't.
Glenn Tebbe, Indiana Catholic Conference
We're particularly happy that the government has decided to put some safeguards in here for persons who are engaged in this activity. From the Church's point of view, the state's responsibility and purpose is to protect and create the common good. The common good is preserved and protected when people are not being taken advantage of. The situation as it exists now–the model–is such that persons in dire straits or certain kinds of situations go after [payday loans] thinking that it can take care of their circumstances but, in reality, the model itself takes advantage of them. From the Church's perspective, that's is a violation of the 7th Commandment.
Usury has been condemned from ancient times on. It was in the Bible and all societies have condemned usury. When you take something from someone–and this is unjustly taking in the sense that you're taking advantage of their circumstance, you're taking advantage of their unfamiliarity and unsophistication regarding the financial aspects of [payday loans]–we see this as a harm. It harms the person and it harms their family, and ways that we can protect people from that kind of activity is in the best interest of everyone. So we see this as a positive step forward. In fact, we join others in hoping that caps can be put on interest rates. The rate that this model has at 300–almost 400 percent–is definitely in the category of usury.
Maureen Noe, Indiana Association of United Ways
Indiana United Ways and our 60 local United Ways work closely with community- and faith-based organizations that help individuals and their families reach their potential. Many United Ways fund and support financial stability efforts that help families move from poverty to financial stability.
Through the data released in our ALICE Report, an acronym that stands for Asset-Limited-Income-Constrained-Employed, we know that 36% of Hoosier households are living below the basic cost of living. We know that ALICE households and other low- to middle- income families may turn to alternative financial products in crisis situations when they need to make ends meet. Unfortunately, these products often have fees, high interest rates, and terms and conditions that trap people in a cycle of debt. A short-term financial fix through a predatory product often leaves families with fewer resources to devote towards building assets and reaching financial stability.
Indiana United Ways appreciates the CFPB's rule to allow additional protections for consumers accessing short-term, small dollar loans. Additional notices before withdrawals, limitations on the number of loans an individual can access, and better assessment of the consumer's ability to repay are important steps in the right direction. Together with our community partners, we will continue to advocate for safe and affordable financial products for Hoosiers.
Brigadier General Jim Bauerle, Indiana Military / Veterans' Coalition
The Military / Veterans' Coalition of Indiana fully supports the idea of limiting interest rates. I provided an article from the Military Times earlier about some of the ways the active duty military and their families are protected and it's our intent that should something come forward in the Indiana General Assembly this year to create any loan instruments that would exceed 36% APR, we will fight.
Just like other consumers, veterans and those serving in the Guard and Reserves are consumers and need loans. But loans that have interest rates that high are clearly predatory, and they clearly impact the readiness of units and of individuals to serve our military in peace and in war. Those who have served certainly deserve better treatment, and there are better instruments available to them through the state and through the Department of Veterans Affairs if they have an urgent need for support.
We think anything along these lines is not a good thing to do, and we are against anything that attempts to expand it.
Kathleen Lara, Prosperity Indiana and a leader of the Indiana Assets & Opportunity Network
Our members are based in Hoosier cities and towns of all sizes focused exclusively on long-term community prosperity, helping low-income individuals and families attain economic sufficiency, break cycles of poverty, and address blight and foreclosures.
As you have heard, these high-cost loans trap vulnerable consumers in debt cycles and the effects of this cycle don't end with the consumer, they have a significant impact on community stability.
Our members are left to try and help consumers repair the financial damage left behind when they were inevitably unable to pay back these loans at exorbitant rates.
Our members watch payday lenders that are almost exclusively concentrated in low-income communities market their products as easy financial solutions and know that consumers seeking a last-resort hand up are instead likely to end in default or bankruptcy.
They watch these products drain $70 million in fees from the low-income communities they seek to support.
They know that the inability for households stuck in high-interest loan debt to pay expenses like rent, transportation, health care, and food directly correlates to the housing instability and foreclosures, bankruptcies, loss of local spending and accordingly, loss of local job creation they work hard to combat.
We provided feedback on the proposed rule and are pleased that the final rule still included important steps forward with regards to considering a consumer's ability to repay and account withdrawal limits as these are essential to curbing some of the most egregious industry practices. But, as Erin mentioned, the 391% payday lending rate in our state must be addressed if we want to cut down on loan defaults and re-borrowing that destabilizes financially vulnerable households.
We believe more work must be done at the state level to protect consumers from predatory lending products that hinder not only individual, but community prosperity.
Keith Carlson, Pastor, Outreach & Care, Grace Church
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's payday loan rules being proposed are a step in the right direction. This predatory industry needs desperately to be regulated so that injustices are not done to the poor and marginalized in our communities. I would hope that policymakers propose even further regulations regarding both the exorbitant interest rates charged and limiting the total dollar amount they can loan.

How to Paint Wood Trim Molding
by: Dale Cox
Neatly painted trim can make a big difference in how a room is viewed and give the impression things are neat, clean, and well run. It can be hard to get such neat lines using a brush and painting freehand if you don't do it very often. If you want clean lines along your trim moldings, and you're not steady enough with a paint brush to cut a straight line by hand, you have two options.
You can take the time to practice with the brush, and fix a lot of mistakes along the way, until you're able to paint like a professional. Or you can use masking tape to form the clean lines you want.
The problem with taping, in addition to the extra work of applying tape to everything, is the tendency of the paint to bleed and blur the sharp line between colors. To prevent bleeding and get sharper lines try this method. Paint the trim first and let it dry, then mask it with delicate masking tape before painting the walls. Continue below for more tips to get the straight paint lines you want along your trim molding using this method.
Preparation to Paint Trim Molding
Trim molding is usually done with an enamel finish paint. Enamels are available in both latex and oil-based formulas and come in shiny finishes like semi-gloss and high-gloss. Because it dries to a hard, durable finish, enamel paint provides lasting protection for trim surfaces that tend to see a lot of wear and tear. And because it is so durable, enamel can be washed to remove dirt and still maintain its shine and beauty.
Prepare your wood trim whether it's bare wood or previously painted, so it's primed, clean, and has no holes or gaps. "Primed" simply means the trim has a good base coat foundation, whether that's because it's been painted before or you've just applied primer, it amounts to the same thing.
If your new color will be much darker than it is now, tint your under coat primer to more closely match the final color before applying it. For a durable finish that will last, under coat with an oil-based product and let it dry for 12 to 24 hours. Lightly sand the dry primer and remove the dust with a vacuum or tack cloth before applying the finish enamel.
Paint the Trim First
Paint the trim with the finish paint and as you work, let it overlap onto the walls a bit. Cover the crease along the two surfaces completely, but avoid leaving a very thick coat in the corner. If the paint is too thick, it may crack as it dries and the cracks will catch the wall paint, ruining the straight line effect.
If your trim will take more than one coat to cover, do as many coats as necessary and let the final coat dry completely before proceeding with the next step. If you're using an oil paint, it should dry sufficiently overnight. If you're using latex, let it dry for several days or up to a week if the weather is humid. This will give the water-based coating time to harden so the masking tape won't easily pull it off.
Mask the Trim
Mask the trim using short strips of tape, overlapping the ends of each piece a bit. Press it tightly to the molding using a clean putty knife. Make sure each piece of tape is flat with no bubbles or gaps between it and the molding before moving to the next.
Paint the Walls
If you need to do more than one coat on the walls for good coverage, brush near the tape but avoid touching it as much as possible until you're ready to do the last coat. On the last coat, paint along the tape using a lightly filled brush and overlap the tape slightly. Avoid applying a heavy coat of paint that would bleed under the tape. If necessary, let the brushed paint set up a bit and apply another thin coat to get complete coverage.
Pull the Masking Tape
Before the wall paint can dry, pull the tape slowly and at a sharp angle. To minimize the chance of peeling, it's a good idea to do the final coat on one wall at a time so you can remove the tape immediately. This is especially true if you're using a shiny paint on the walls. Watch for peeling and if the paint starts to come away with the tape, run the point of a putty knife lightly along the edge to break the film and keep the paint in place.

I was fortunate to be raised by a father that introduced me early to the twin wonders of duct tape and WD-40. I remember him telling me the story of WD-40's creation and thinking it was too fantastic to be true…turns out he took very little editorial license. The WD stands for 'water displacing' (hydrophobic properties) and WD-40 was the first mass marketed hydrophobic coating but it also cleans, lubricates, penetrates, and protects. There are a number of superhydrophobic coatings entering the market currently but I can't imagine that any of these magic formulations will be as multi-talented as WD-40. There are well over 2,000 documented uses of WD-40 according to the manufacturer but here are Prepography's Top 10 Preparedness uses of WD-40.

text: NEWS Josh Homme Warns QOTSA Fans: 'When We Come to Town, We're Hoping to be Someone's Villain' 11/10/2017 by Dave Brooks FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Andreas Neumann Josh Homme The Queens of the Stone Age frontman talks new "Villains" album, collaborating with Mark Ronson and throwing a dance party for Satan. Playing the part of the villain seems to come natural to Josh Homme, who relishes his role as rock 'n roll's modern day provocateur."It's no secret that we've been at the other end of someone's pointed finger before," the Queens of the Stone Age front man tells Billboard during a break in Germany on the band's Villains World Tour in support of their seventh studio album of the same name. If the band's 2013 record ..Like Clockwork was Homme's somber retreat into darkness, Villains is his dancey self-revival, produced by Mark Ronson (Lady Gaga, Adele, Amy Winehouse).Villains is a decidedly uptempo change of pace for Homme, who has endured an emotionally and mentally difficult stretch between records. In 2015, his bandmates in Eagles of Death Metal survived a deadly terrorist attack on the Bataclan concert venue in Paris that left 89 fans dead (Homme wasn't touring with the band at the time). As a form of musical therapy after the attacks (and the filming of Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis (Our Friends) with director Colin Hanks), Homme and QOTSA keyboardist Dean Fertita and Matt Helders from Arctic Monkeys teamed up with Iggy Pop to produce Pop's eighth studio album Post Pop Depression. With tracks like "American Valhalla" and the catchy, yet unsettling "Gardenia," the Homme-produced album helped Pop etch his first No. 1 solo album on Billboard's Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums. After a couple months off, Homme and QOTSA are back touring support in of Villains and putting tickets for the second leg of their tour on sale today (Nov. 10), including a return to The Forum in Los Angeles on Feb 17, six months after performing at Dave Grohl's Cal Jam fest in San Bernardino.Billboard caught up with Homme (pronounced Hommy, rhymes with "mommy") to talk about his love for the IE, the sounds of Villain and why Satan always makes for a great dance-party theme.How was Cal Jam?I was really happy for Dave. That's a big risk. From the perspective of being in a band and what you wish a festival would be like, taking little pieces of European festivals that are kind of wonderful and everyone is still free to do what they want, and mixing that with your own line up, is a big risk. It was quite good to be one of the bands there and Dave has a way of saying "we should really enjoy ourselves, everybody go!" He's always had that way about him. You're from the Palm Desert, not far from the Glen Helen Amphitheater, the home of this year's Cal Jam. I've always had mixed feelings about Glen Helen — it's a gigantically magical place, albeit a bit cantankerous and pitiful. What is your relationship with this glorious dump of a music venue?To me, it's in the elbow crease of many freeways, in the middle of nowhere. It's where you are when you're about to go somewhere else.You pass it on your way to Vegas or when you're trying to run from something.Yes. It's a high use area for drug trafficking. But it's part of the Inland Empire, which sounds so much like the Roman Empire until you're there. Then you realize it's not Rome. As Nick Oliveri used to say, "it's a great place to get gas, take a shit and keep driving."Do you feel comfortable taking credit for making the Inland Empire credible and perhaps even cool?Any place where you're allowed to take a chance, fail, get up and not be condemned is a good place. And I can say I'm proud to be from the IE, I am proud to be from 760 and I'm proud to be from the desert. In Blade Runner they just say "enhanced" — I'm proud to be from the enhanced IE. The title of your latest album is Villains. You've already said it's not about Trump or any particular person. Is it more of a construct, a shape-shifting creature?I just love how the word looks, especially the hardness of all the lettering, except, of course for the unfortunate letter S. It's a word that immediately elicits a reaction, and because of that immediacy, much like pin the tail on the donkey, people know exactly where they want to put that word. It's in a different place for everybody. Real art elicits a reaction and it's immediate. And I knew what we were about to do. I know what the climate is in the world. I'm living in it. Are you the villain?I believe it's an honor to be the villain if you're a villain to some asshole. That's a wonderful thing to be, and I'm always proud to be that villain when it's someone that I am not on board with. Does that make you a villain of a villain?Yes. Oftentimes, if you are being played the villain, it's against what you believe to be a villain. I've always had a little bit of a disdain for humanity and a chip on my shoulder, but I'm not a passive-aggressive person and we don't have a passive-aggressive relationship in our band. Everyone says what they believe — you have to be honest when the time is right. So you aren't the real villain?How about this — when we come to town, we're hoping to be someone's villain. Most of the world will just text somebody and tell them "you're the villain." But we're ready to walk right up and stand in front of you and say "It's me, I'm your villain." If anything, that's just a good mantra for life.It's also very confrontational.Yes.Do you worry that type of confrontation and intensity isn't healthy?Well, I don't think it pays to be reactionary. That's why striking the first blow sometimes forces the other person to react. "We're here. What are you going to do about it?" I think living in the now starts by being willing to initiate a discussion, some action, and ultimately elicits a reaction. But I would rather be on the vanguard of action than sit in the throne of reaction.What was it like working with Ronson?I'll say this — We were all aware of what revealing Ronson's involvement in the album was going to do, and "Feet Don't Fail Me Now" felt like the song version of the dirty trick that Ronson was going to be.Where can you hear Ronson most on this album?I'm not sure there is any one place. Where do you taste the right spice in a recipe? It reigns omnipresent. As a band, our request is that someone in that role become the sixth member. We move at the speed of inspiration, and when someone has a good idea, we race to catch to that inspiration. That way the only thing you are chasing is what you're passionate and excited about instead of focusing on what you don't like, which is a silly way to bond with somebody. Maybe we can hear a bit of Ronson on "Unreborn Again."With that song I had this idea about letting the floor drop out at the apex of the song and hitting the string section, which was almost like the percussion section instead of strings. I was having a hard time finding how to transition into that, and Ronson pulled this deejay trick using a filter drop and make it immediate. Old school Queens would take time to get there, but this had to be like a rug pull, because pulling the rug was the theme of the record, like trying to find the right moment to get someone to look left and hit them from the right side instead. Did you tell him you wanted to change your sound?We knew we we're going to try to reinvent and redefine our sound, which coming from a band that has a sound, can be tricky. And so we needed someone on the other side of the glass. We're supposed to surprise and excite people — that's the part of the job I really like — to surprise people by leaping out of the darkness to go boom. But when you take risks like that, you face all the tweets and Facebook comments and the chatter from the interwebs. Does that bother you?I don't read about myself, I don't think it's healthy for me. I can already guess what everyone's going to do, not because I'm Alfred Einstein — Albert's dumber brother — it's just that it's obvious. What else are they going to do? My hope is to agitate, agitate, agitate and in order to say '"if you pretend you know in advance, you are wrong." When I ask for an open mind, I've got to have one myself. It's a great way for our audience and our band to say "whatever music it is, as long as it's good, it doesn't matter." I'm hoping that if we ever decide to play reggae, it's reggae you could like.Sounds like you don't fear losing your audience.Au contraire. I always assume we're going to lose 15 percent of our audience with every record. I assume that we're going to probably shake off some fairweather friends who are on for one bus stop and I'm OK with that. I told Ronson "if 15 percent of the people don't hate you, you suck." And Ronson very acutely said "I'm just trying to get it down to 45."You just said fairweather friends, which happens to be an incredible track from your last album. Was that intentional?Well... you write about what you know. And what you see. And what you are.Let's talk about"The Way You Used To Do" video. Did you do all your own choreography and dancing?The truth is I tore my knee by 10 in the morning, and there was so much more I wanted to do that I couldn't quite get to. But I love to go dancing and again, with Ronson pulling rugs and going where we're not supposed to go — which is really one of my favorite things of all time — I thought "what if we made a satanic dance video that was Cab Calloway inspired and had death metal backup dancers." I wanted to have the audience do a deal with the devil. The director of the video is Jonas Åkerlund, a death metal drummer from Sweden. Who else could do this but this guy? Who else would know that it's real? And after each take, he would look at me and say "hail Satan." And I would respond "hail Satan." Even still today, that's how we great each other.There's a lot of rock stars getting into entrepreneurial businesses — tequila, wine, even pasta sauce. I'd like to pitch you on a business idea that might be interesting — Homme's Salamis.Homme's Salamis?Yes, fine artisanal processed meats.Ha! I drink a lot of tequila so I'm sure I can picture myself owning a tequila thing but by the same token, I think a lot of the times people split their focus by trying to sell you champagne or bottled water, which by the way has to be the world's greatest business. But I'm not interested necessarily in hawking anything for you, or to you. When people say "I'm working on my brand," that makes me want to take a hot iron and burn you. I never begrudge anyone their success and what they want to do — the way to support artists you love has been stripped away over the years. I have to deal with eBay kids who want me to sign something they can upcharge my fans — they're getting in the way of our relationship.And a lot of the world is very entitled and has high expectations and is easily disappointed. That's kind of lame. But at the same time, I'm not pointing any fingers and it doesn't make me lose sleep at night. I understand why people want to preserve themselves and have something else. They are not simply relying on music, because that can be scary and difficult and challenging. I'm always expecting someone to walk in the door and say '"no one likes your music anymore, it's over, go home." It's why I try to enjoy it now - that and because I haven't crossed the threshold into selling water yet.Learn more and buy tickets for the Villains World Tour at QOTSA.com.

This is Day 16 of 31 Days of Intentional Community. Thanks for reading along!
I've written on intentional community here on the blog before, and rather than re-hashing some of those posts, I wanted to link to a few of them today. These three posts are honestly three of my favorite posts I've written because they are along a theme so close to my heart and they expose the real challenges of living a life of community.
Intentional Community
First up is a post where I first explored this phrase, and also where I reflected on the idea of "gospeling each other," both of which were inspired by a couple of books I read and a discussion held at my church with an author/pastor named Steve Timmis.
Steve talked about his gospel community being simply ordinary people, living ordinary life, but with gospel intentionality.
And yet, outreach, and being intentional about it, was talked about not as a particular event, a program or anything like that, but rather just part of life.
Me living my life in a way that makes others curious.
There are some great comments on that post as well, so I really recommend reading it if this idea intrigues you.
The Idolatry of the Nuclear Family
Shortly thereafter, I wrote another post about community-- possibly one of the most important posts I've ever written, and one that I need to go back and read periodically myself. Sometimes we choose to cater to our families needs and withdraw from community-- sometimes out of necessity (so we don't infect our friends with our kids' snotty noses for example) and other times I think we use the family's needs as a crutch.
Dare I say, we idolize the very family God has given us to nurture. This isn't unusual-- the most commonly made idols are good things placed in a higher position of priority than they should be.
Again the comments on this post are really insightful. Head to the post to read more of my thoughts on this tendency of ours and how it practically plays out for my family. We ourselves are not without struggle in this area, mind you, as you'll see below.
On Balancing Family and Community
I wrote this post almost a year later, continuing the conversation. As the members of our family grow and change, our struggles and challenges obviously vary as well. When I wrote this post, I shared my own struggles with trying to find this balance. It's a big questionfor sure, and something where I'm sure we won't have a definitive answer... maybe ever!
I'm struggling with finding the balance between being community-minded, while also forming a tightly bonded connection in the hearts of the five people (and specifically the three little people) that live in our home.
I'd love for you to read the post and share your thoughts in the comments there (or over here).
We are so thankful for other families that we have -- folks to walk through life with who are asking the same questions and seeking to glorify God as we try to love Him and others. We spur each other on in both our family life and parenting as well as encourage each other in our
Just asking these kinds of questions is such a good exercise for my soul! Do you struggle with this balance between intentional community and family life? If you are willing to share any ways you have found that help you be intentional in both of these areas, we would be grateful.

It's time to say goodbye to all these things that do not serve any purpose anymore, including the people whom you have loved and cherished.
Dear me — The Time Has Come
No doubt the journey will be painful, but with determination, you will be able to achieve what you want to achieve. ...
亲爱的你——我对你奉献最无私的爱 / Dear me – Unconditional Love For You
当我们静静地关注自己的呼吸时,就是我对你奉献最无私的爱的时刻。 And as we sit quietly observing our breaths, it is the time that I give the most unconditional love to you.
Dear Me – There is no time to waste
I wish you well and may we be in sync in the days to come. Beautiful and promising days are waiting ahead of us.
Dear Me – the beginning
And the moment you feel love, you can love the others unconditionally, because you no longer desire for the love in return, as you, yourself is love.
如果下一刻不再来 / If the next moment doesn't come
此刻想起,如果下一刻不再来,我们竟然会有如此多的懊悔 There will be so many regrets that we have inf the next moment doesn't come.
Chasing the nothern light – what are we really chasing in life?
I may have found what I really want but one thing for sure that I have found is courage. Then I realised that I am stronger than I thought I am.

Lehigh Valley Photographer: A first birthday session at the Jersey Shore
Having the opportunity to take Luke's photos at the shore was wonderful. Taking his newborn pictures and his first birthday pictures haven't been like any other sessions. I hold them a little closer to my heart. You see, Luke is obviously meant to be with Lucia and Kevin. They're like little puzzle pieces. But it took some time for Luke to find his home. Time that felt like forever. Time that sometimes only prayers could make a little more tolerable. All of a sudden, here he was. He was always meant to be with this family and he is loved more than ever. What a precious little boy and family.
I'm so very happy for my dear friend Lucia and her husband, Kevin. They are such a happy ending.
We all happened to have an overlapping day in our shore vacations which allowed us to squeeze in a fun beach session. It was a beautiful evening, but when we arrived at the beach, there was a breeze... okay, wind, that was relentless. No one's hair was in one place, we had sand all over us, and couldn't hear each other! Certainly not ideal conditions. BUT, as you'll see, that never matters in a photography session because true love comes pouring through.
Happy 1st Birthday to one very special little boy! You have changed many lives and are so loved! Congratulations to you, Lucia and Kevin, for making it through year one!!
If you want a first birthday session, be sure to contact me!

It is by far the most overlooked and under-utilized component of most practices…and by using these simple apps, you can massively increase your ROI and simplify most of your practice needs.
I've been immersed in the digital marketing world now for over 5 years…it is so AMAZING! There are so many great tools you can use for your business.
Here's a highlight of some of my favorite that work for Chiropractors.
1. Hootsuite – One of the best social media managers for all your marketing needs is Hootsuite. It's free for the top 3 social media tools (FB,LI,TW), but I recommend paying the $9.99 per month to preschedule and market through YouTube, Instagram, Google +, and Pinterest.
2. DropBox – This has been a game changer for me, especially for large files like videos. I paid $99 for 1 terabyte of storage, which is massive and we use DropBox to store large files, pictures, videos that my entire team can access…even remotely.
3. Slack/Asana – Here's a really cool team platform that allows a seamless work flow. Slack allows you to integrate hundreds of different apps, including Asana, which my team uses for monthly projects and communication.
4. Survey Monkey – A great way to survey both your patients and prospects. Simple and easy to use, it's often just a few clicks to find out what your customers really think.
5. Freshbook – I wish I had this years ago…I could have saved hundreds of dollars from my accountant. You can now do your own online accounting or give it to your admin C.A. to do the work.
6. Zendesk – Are you missing out on patient's inquiries. A great platform to manage your patients questions all in one platform. We now use Zendesk to manage clients inquiries so that leads and customer service is top notch.
7. SEMrush – Are you getting hammered by Google? Now you can discover what keywords your competitors are using to get traffic, which keywords they are targeting for their PPC ads, and how their traffic has grown over time.
8. Buzzsumo – If you write blogs for prospects and leads, make sure you are writing for people and not the Google bots. This tool allows you to peer into what is being shared and who is sharing what.
9. Canva – My favorite free tool when it comes to creating and editing graphics for your site and social media posts. I use it exclusively for making all my Facebook posts.
10. Google Analytics – Have you ever wondered how your website or advertising is performing? The amount of data and feedback that you can take away, from taking the time to understand what you are seeing, in priceless.
Interested in learning more about social media mastery and how to dominate your market? Join me and Dr. Matt Loop in beautiful South Beach, Miami on April 22-24, 2016, for our annual "Ultimate Caribbean Adventure Mastermind". Learn. Play. Party.

When it comes to recruiting, the process really is a two-way street. The best recruiters go about the process specifically with candidates, and their futures, in mind. They can answer the question – "Why would someone want to work here?"
Hiring managers already face intense competition when it comes to nabbing top talent, so make it easier on everyone, and give them a reason to choose you. Take your cue from these five elements that make prospective candidates want to work for you:
Lay Out a Career Plan
Provide a clear career trajectory. These days, most employees don't expect to stay in the same position long-term; they expect motion. So, lay it out for them, and tell them what they can expect both now and in their future.
Paint the Picture
Walk candidates through a typical day on the job. Explain how a particular position and company differs from another. What sets them apart? How is their work culture different? After all, you can be a copywriter anywhere. So why work for this company? Provide details that clearly paint the picture so that candidates can imagine themselves in the position.
Detail the Expected Workload
All candidates want to know exactly what they can expect once on the job. Provide details about their day-to-day workload to help them understand what will be required of them.
Provide Real-Life Testimonies
Sometimes, a job description simply won't cut it, so find a way to connect prospective candidates with employees who are in similar positions. Employee perspective can provide real-time insight into a company, a position and a work culture.
Be Engaging
If you're not interested in discussing the job, prospective candidates won't be either. Your attitude matters just as much as the candidate's. They are looking to you to form their own opinions and expectations of a given company, so keep the conversation engaging.
Recruiters who ultimately win over top talent understand that prospective candidates are also evaluating them, so move toward a candidate-friendly process that will both strengthen relationships and improve experiences.

Clubhouse Refurbishment: First Floor Closed/
Members and visitors are advised that the first floor of the clubhouse will close from Monday 30th January in preparation for, and handover to, the refurbishment contractors.
It is planned that the bar, lounge and restaurant areas will reopen by 24th February at the latest. During the works there will be no access to the first floor of the clubhouse, either internally or externally, as it will be a hard hat area.
In addition an area of the car park will be handed over to the contractor and will be cordoned off until the work is complete. Members will still be able to access the locker rooms and toilets on the ground floor of the clubhouse during the refurbishment.
The Pro Shop will remain open at the usual winter hours of Wednesday to Sunday, 8.30am to 3.30pm, closed on Monday and Tuesdays.
The club apologises for any inconvenience during the works which will benefit both members and visitors once completed. We look forward to welcoming you to the new-look bar, lounge and restaurant areas later this month, at the start of our 125th anniversary year.

I have worked for Gloucestershire Libraries for most of my career and have been involved in ensuring that libraries remain visible and relevant to all our communities. Libraries have always been about the power of reading, access to information and a place to learn and explore ideas and my role is to update this offer to reflect changes in technology, lifestyles and customer expectations.
Our recent partnership with Create Gloucestershire and the Art of Libraries project is testing libraries as places where young people and families can encounter art and creativity and to create a culture where art is everyday for everyone.

Subtitle: A Global Deaf X-mas
I had the pleasure of attending a party for a visiting Deaf couple from Norway in Namba, Osaka on Christmas evening. Another participant was a Deaf man born in Argentina and living in Italy. I was the only American and the only hearing person as well. The Norwegians and Italian attended Gallaudet University and are fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). There was one Deaf Japanese man (who had also attended Gallaudet) who acted as interpreter as most of us had little experience or knowledge of ASL. I studied ASL for a year or so in grad school, but since coming to Japan I have forgot most of it. I was able to introduce myself in ASL, but needed my Japanese friend to interpret my Japanese Sign Language (JSL) into ASL for the Europeans to understand. Are you following me? This was truly a globalization moment in Japan. It seems as though Deaf people from all over the world attend Gallaudet and learn ASL. ASL seems to be becoming the lingua franca for Deaf people in international settings. However I was told by one of the Norwegians that International Sign Language is more widely used in Europe. Anyway, the evening was fun and cross-culturally educational for all. This is how Christmas should be - peace on earth...
Sorry I couldn't come up with better pictures for the event - I only had my cell phone camera with me. And most of my photos ended up looking like this:
What do you expect with Deaf people moving their hands, arms and entire bodies all of the time? Yet another challenge for visual anthropologists...

The truth is, you were probably going to buy your lunch anyway, and Cane's is delicious. It's really a win-win.
The Kidd's Kids website also lists many other ways to contribute to their efforts.
What Is Kidd's Kids?*
At Kidd's Kids, our primary goal is to provide children (ages 5 to 12), who have a chronic or terminal illness or are physically challenged, with an unforgettable adventure Throughout the year, we work hard to raise the funds necessary to send these special kids on an all-expenses paid, fun-filled, vacation to Walt Disney World® in Florida. Most of our funding comes from donations made by listeners to the Kidd Kraddick In The Morning radio show, corporate sponsors, and various fundraising events.
Each year, we sponsor approximately 50 children and their families (including siblings between the ages of 5 and 16) for the trip, or as many as the Kidd's Kids Board may deem appropriate under the circumstances. The Board will work with such sources as it deems appropriate to select children based upon the nature and severity of their illnesses, their ages, and the status of their financial needs.
All aspects of the trip are coordinated by Kidd's Kids. All funds raised go directly to cover the cost of sending the children and their families to Walt Disney World®, administrative expenses of Kidd's Kids, and to sustain an endowment fund for the purpose of providing long-term growth and stability for the charitable programs of the Kraddick Foundation. The Kraddick Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) organization, founded by nationally syndicated morning show personality Kidd Kraddick. The Kidd's Kids program is based on the premise of making a difference in the lives of children with special medical needs.

It was almost certainly entirely innocent but it seems that the word roof is becoming more and more contentious.
On line there are many reports on the state of three roofs at Ibrox with the Scottish Government confirming that talks are on-going about that issue and other matters at Ibrox.
Yesterday Celtic's match programme carried a full page advert for the club charity under the headline 'RAISE MORE THAN THE ROOF THIS CHRISTMAS'.
In less than two weeks time Celtic will visit Ibrox with various claims about the state of disrepair at the once Five Star Stadium.
Dave King has admitted that the levels of maintenance had fallen off the radar in the final years of the old club leaving some areas of the stadium in disrepair.
In December 2015 at home to Dumbarton a section of the crowd in the Govan Stand had to be evacuated after a safety problem in the roof of the stand.
