El susține în continuare că "comunitatea internațională, respectiv Uniunea Europeană" nu oferă sprijin în ceea ce privește refugiații.
 5 septembrie: Președintele Klaus Iohannis anunță că respinge propunerile pentru miniștrii interimari și trimite prim-ministrul Viorica Dăncilă să legitimeze Guvernul prin votul Parlamentului.
 7 septembrie: Are loc schimbul istoric de 70 de prizonieri dintre Ucraina și Rusia, un gest foarte așteptat, având în vedere că administrațiile de la Moscova și Kiev sunt în conflict, de la anexarea peninsulei Crimeea de către Rusia și începutul conflictului din estul Ucrainei în 2014.
 11 septembrie: Vaporii de apă au fost detectați pe exoplaneta K2-18b, un Super-Pământ care se află la aproximativ 111 ani-lumină de Pământ. Este pentru prima dată când apa a fost confirmată pe o exoplanetă în zona locuibilă circumstelară a unei stele.

18 septembrie: Singurul producător de sodă calcinată din România, fabrica Ciech Soda din județul Vâlcea, a închis producția, după 60 de ani de funcționare neîntreruptă, motivul invocat de patronatul polonez fiind creșterea prețului la aburul industrial, livrat de CET Govora către fostele Uzine Sodice Govora. Uzina de Sodă cu aproximativ 600 de angajați intrat miercuri într-un proces de mentenanță, împiedicând conducerea acestuia să vorbească despre o închidere definitivă, cu speranța unui posibil acord asupra prețului agentului termic, pe care furnizorul român îl are, crescând cu aproape 135% în ultimul an (inclusiv certificate CO2). CET Govora a reziliat unilateral, pe 18 iunie, contractul de livrare a aburului industrial către CIECH Soda România. Aceasta s-a și întâmplat, în condițiile în care prețul actual abia fusese stabilit pe 1 aprilie și trebuia să fie valabil până la 31 decembrie 2020, se arăta într-un comunicat al Ciech Group, publicat pe 9 august 2019. Acceptarea noului preț de către furnizorul de abur către companie ar însemna pierderi mari.

 24 septembrie: Curtea Supremă a Regatului Unit hotărăște neconstituționalitatea suspendării Parlamentului de către Boris Johnson.
 24 septembrie: La summitul ONU pentru clima de la New York, Greta Thunberg, o adolescentă suedeză în vârstă de 16 ani, a ținut un discurs în care s-a răzvrătit împotriva liderilor lumii și a reproșat că îngroapă viitorul unor generații când ignoră avertismentele comunității științifice legate de încălzirea globală.
 25 septembrie: După ce compania britanică Thomas Cook a dat faliment și compania aeriană germană Condor, filială a grupului Thomas Cook, depune dosare pentru faliment. Secretarul britanic în domeniul transporturilor, Grant Shapps, anunță că guvernul intenționează să introducă o nouă legislație în urma prăbușirii lui Thomas Cook, pentru a permite falimentele "mai ordonate" ale agențiilor de turism și companiilor aeriene.

Rajasthan Royals to part ways with Steve Smith in upcoming IPL auctions: Reports
New Delhi, Delhi, India Published: Jan 13, 2021, 08.19 PM(IST)

As per reports in ESPNcricinfo, the franchise management asked the Royals to be more consistent in contention for the playoffs. The Royals' season review highlighted Smith's inconsistency as both a player and captain.
Indian Premier League franchise Rajasthan Royals have decided to part ways with their skipper Steve Smith and will not be retaining the Aussie in the upcoming auctions. The Royals will decide it shortly as the franchise will be releasing the list of retained players on January 20.

Smith started the 2020 season with a bang after scoring fifties against CSK and KXIP and leading his team to victory. However, there was a steep downfall in Smith's form as he ended the IPL season with just 311 runs with an average and strike-rate of 25.91 and 131.22 respectively. Royals ended at the bottom of the table.
In 2018 auctions, Royals retained the Australian for a mammoth 12.5 crores rupees ($1.95 million). Smith was appointed as the skipper but was forced to step down due to the sandpaper scandal. But he was finally appointed as the captain in 2019 after Ajinkya Rahane was sacked.
Smith's sacking leaves the captain's spot vacant. Sanju Samson could fill up the spot after being consistently good with the team in the previous editions. Samson recently led Kerala in their first match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy.

Happy Birthday, Harley Davidson
Jess Righthand
On September 17, 1903, 21-year-old William S. Harley and his childhood friend Walter Davidson incorporated a two-man company that produced motorized bicycles out of a Milwaukee shed. Little did they know that the Harley-Davidson Motor Company would not only be one of two American motorcycle companies to survive the Great Depression, but it would come to define the archetypal modern-day cowboy: the biker.
The American History Museum has a small collection of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, including: a 1913 5-horsepower (hp) model; a rare 1942 Model 74 that belonged to former Guatemalan president Jorge Ubico; Evel Knievel's 1972 XR-750 custom model; and a limited-edition 1993 Electra Glide Ultra Classic touring bike, which Harley-Davidson donated to the Smithsonian to commemorate the company's 90th anniversary.
Curator Paul F. Johnston is a custodian of the Smithsonian's motorcycle collection. In addition to his role as curator of the history of transportation at the National Museum of American History, Johnston is also an avid year-round motorcyclist. We chatted via email about Harleys, and the Smithsonian's collection in particular.
What is the earliest Harley in the Smithsonian, and how did the Smithsonian acquire it? How far have Harleys come in the century they've been around?
Our earliest Harley-Davidson motorcycle is a 1913 5-hp model that was manufactured only ten years after the Company's first bike rolled out of the factory shed in Milwaukee. In 1913, it cost $235 when new; Paul E. Garber of Washington, D.C. purchased it used in 1918. In those early days, Harley-Davidson bikes had single-speed transmissions, air-cooled engines and coaster brakes like today's simple pedal bikes. The 1913 example also has bicycle-style foot pedals and direct chain drive from the pedals to the rear wheel, similar to today's mopeds. Nowadays, Harley-Davidson motorcycles have several speeds and disc brakes, but most of their models still are air-cooled.
Garber joined the Smithsonian staff in 1920 and became the first curator of the National Air Museum when it formed in 1946. Like nearly all riders in the early 20th century, Garber used his Harley as basic transportation until sometime before 1947. In the summer of 1947, there was a Fourth of July motorcycle rally in Hollister, CA. Life Magazine published a sensational article on the rally that included a staged photograph of a motorcyclist sprawled on his bike, surrounded by empty beer bottles. This event's media coverage inaugurated a nationwide bad-boy image for motorcyclists that persists today. Perhaps coincidentally, Garber donated his motorcycle to the Smithsonian the day after the Life article was published.
What's the story behind Evel Knievel's 1972 XR-750 custom? Is there anything special about this bike that is well suited to Knievel's daredevil stunts?
One of famed daredevil Evel Knievel's jump bikes from the mid 1970s was donated to the Smithsonian in 1994, along with a leather jump suit, cape and boots. It is one of the American History Museum's most popular and asked-after items. Knievel lightened and strengthened his jump bikes and their suspension components to withstand the forces of taking off and landing at high speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. He also had special paint jobs for all of them.
Despite the risks he took and multiple bones he broke over his career, Knievel was safety-oriented, and he had a standing offer of $1,000 to anyone who saw him on a motorcycle without a helmet.
How did the museum acquire Jorge Ubico's 1942 Harley?
Harley-Davidson produced motorcycles almost exclusively for wartime use during World War II, but the Motor Company did make a few exceptions. In 1942, they supplied a Model 74 OHV "Knucklehead" V-Twin model to General Jorge Ubico (1878-1946), the President of Guatemala. He used it for personal and recreational use until 1943 or 1944, when he sold it to his nephew. That year he also resigned his presidency and spent the remainder of his life in exile in New Orleans, LA. The bike passed through the hands of a few other collectors before its donation to the Smithsonian in 1981.
What is the 1993 Electra Glide Ultra Classic like?
This model is Harley's largest and most luxurious touring bike. Named the "Electra Glide Ultra Classic," this model is designed to transport two passengers around the country in the finest style and comfort. Three large trunks carry lots of luggage, and the top box even has a mirror incorporated into its lid to repair the ravages of "helmet hair" after a long day in the saddle. This motorcycle also has disk brakes, AM/FM radio, CB radio, cruise control, speakers in the back, and of course lots of air conditioning! It is big, heavy, comfortable, and perfectly suited to long days on beautiful roads.
What is it about Harleys, do you think, that have captured America's collective imagination?
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are all about style. They have a fashionable, bad-boy retro image that hearkens back to the days when things were simpler and more straightforward. They're easy to modify and customize to an individual owner's specific tastes; they hold their value extremely well on the used market; and they're beautiful to look at! The Motor Company has survived two world wars, the Depression and trade tariffs, and their products sell worldwide in the hundreds of thousands every year. They are a quintessential American success story.
Paying homage to the company's centennial in 2003, Smithsonian magazine featured an article about the history of Harley-Davidson by writer Robert F. Howe.

Erin Heatherton filed for bankruptcy, has $560K in credit card debt
I don't know which is worse for Erin Heatherton: the fact that she's bankrupt or the fact that every article about her bankruptcy identifies her as "Leo DiCaprio's ex-girlfriend." Erin Heatherton is/was a model and quite a famous one at that. She's not Gisele-famous, but Erin walked Victoria's Secret runways and she booked some big runway jobs and editorials. She made serious money at one time in her career. But now she's broke as hell and she has more than $500K in debt.
Former Victoria Secret's model Erin Heatherton has filed for bankruptcy and is over half a million dollars in debt, but lists one of her most valuable assets as something from the wife of Leo DiCaprio's best friend, Tobey Maguire. According to court documents, Heatherton – real name Erin Bubley – filed for Chapter 7 earlier this year, listing $6,465.57 in assets and $560,242.13 in liabilities.
The model said her average monthly income is $1,089.91 (with $221 coming from family/friends) but spends $1,074 on expenses, leaving her without much.
Her property includes $750 in electronics, $995 for a "What Goes Around Comes Around" vintage Japanese jacket, $500 in other apparel, and a $945 Jennifer Meyer diamond letter disc necklace (Meyer is Maguire's ex). She also has $919 in her checking accounts.
Her debts include large amounts of credit card debt, specifically lines of credit opened a year before she started dating Leo. Erin and Leo dated from December 2011 until October 2012. The docs note in 2010, the model took out three credit cards with City National Bank. She currently owes $11,514 on one card, $9,485 on another and $194,602.49 on a third for a total $215,601.49.
She also owes another $201k to City National for a line of credit, $100k from a legal battle with a former business partner, and $41k in back taxes to the state of New York. Heatherton made $226,596 for 2017, $18k in 2018, and $2,820 so far in 2019. The model also lists a long list of clothes and shoes she hawked to third parties prior to filing for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy case is still ongoing.
[From The Blast]
I honestly don't understand how people can keep spending so much using credit cards. I only keep a balance on one credit card and I keep it below $1000 and even that makes me mad. How in the world can people accumulate more than $100,000 on credit cards, for the love of God? Granted, I know that in the sketchy world of American health care, some people are charging their necessary medical treatments or medications, but I don't think that's the case with Erin Heatherton. I think she just likes to shop and she's not getting any work these days. Also: a model's shelf-life, huh? Erin is 30 years old and I guess she didn't save any money from her actual modeling heyday.

Wow. I could not imagine being in that kind of debt.
Lex says:
Her thigh bulge in the photo in white outfit makes me feel better. I jut out below thr hips quite a bit (saddlebag style), as does she in that pic. Makes a normal gal feel more normal…….
wow! $228K in one a year sounds like a lot but if she was living the high life in a place like nyc – that wont go very far if she is living in a luxury apartment and buying jimmy choos and designer clothes.
sounds like she is unemployed. can't she file for unemployment benefits to survive?
bummer – time for a real job like the rest of us. maybe she can go back to school (though that takes lots of money) and find a career.
Kylie says:
I don't think she would qualify for unemployment. Models aren't typically employees, they are essentially contractors.
How does she make so little monthly? Has she considered full-time work? Granted I know minimum wage is shit, but I feel like she could use her connections to have some sort of viable income.
That's what I'm wondering. You could make more than that at lots of different jobs. Even part-time!
She must not be actually working. Minimum wage in NY or LA is more than what she's claiming as income.
What happened that she is no longer booked for any jobs? Can't she be an instagram "influencer" or whatever that nonsense is?
Modeling does have a short shelf life for most, so it's really foolish to not save and plan for another career in the future.
I wonder what city she's currently living in. I know she sold her NYC apartment a years ago for a few million dollars and I think for a profit, so what happened to that money?
If I were her, I would move in with my family to save money and start shilling out instagram ads lol
Saltydog says:
I don't understand it either. I live in L.A. and currently don't have a job other than doing extra work and audience work (paid to clap at game shows) and I make more than that a month.
teehee says:
I think the point is missed: this is a legal gesture to free her from at least the majority of the 560k debt.
Even if she earned 5-6k a month, she can NEVER pay off that debt.
The credit card company wont bat an eyelash about that sum as they continue to make profits;
This would however ruin her entire life and she could still die in debt.
Thats the point, more.
I know it isn't a fully correct line of thought, if she "earned" the debt, but I also dont find credit companies literally making billions off of the poor to be so "right" either.
All these companies, all this GD money– and look at the state of the world today. F!ck em.
ikki says:
agree @teehee!
Hotsauceinmybag says:
I'm the same way as the OP with my credit card and debit/checking balance. I can get quite obsessive and with my credit balance I don't usually go over 1,000 unless it's for travel related expenses.
Before the ACA, a delinquent medical bill (for $600) messed up my credit and I spent 3 years meticulously repairing it so I'm paranoid when it comes to cc debt.
Jensies says:
Wow. So I was feeling bad for her until I saw she was making $800 a month. There are actual people in poverty in this country for whom making that amount is what they can earn. For a model who made $200k two years ago, making that is a choice. It means she's not taking jobs, not seeking out new ones. She could take catalog jobs, small jobs, and make a lot more than that. She could even, gasp, get a job outside the modeling industry. This is a choice, and a poor one. There are people who are really struggling. This is not that.
minx says:
She's young, she should get some sort of…..job. Go to school and get a skill.
A lot of models are relying on YouTube and Instagram. She should be getting sponsorships on Instagram. She has around 500 000 followers and she already has a "fanbase "
That's what I'm thinking. 500k followers is enough to monetize that page. I know Instagram models get a ton of shit but look, in this economy if you find ways to make good money, do it. I don't care. Make money however you can. Most jobs for young people are very low paid anyways. If you can find something that will help you move to the next level, do it. I used to judge the hell out of influencers (and maybe I still do), but you know what? If you can create new ways to make money, do it. Just pay off that debt, go back to school, problem solved.
Eliza says:
She's probably waiting for bankruptcy to wipe out her debt, then she'll monetize. Right now she's so behind she won't make the money to live the life she wants to.
QuidProQuo says:
I think this happened to Mick Jagger's x – I million in Debt- who kept spending money to keep us as an high profile man's GF. This seems the very bottom of the delusion, both heartbroken and financially broken. Hope she gets help!
Wow I don't want to feel bad for her because she's obviously lived a charmed life and blew her money away on frivolous things and she made awful choices on her own BUT damnnnn. Financial planning is a skill I hope one day will be taught in schools because it's a huge LIFE skill especially for women, the ability to successfully control your finances is essential for self sufficiency! Hopping off my soapbox…gurl get a JOB and start hustling and never forget how you got so low so you never get to that point again!
Surly Gale says:
I'm 65 and I sure as heck wish I'd had some help and instruction on how to do budgets and the like. much earlier in life. After my son's dad died (before he was 2) I accumulated 10,000 in debt and 30 years later it is STILL dragging us down. I made enough to keep the two of us housed, fed and clothed with nothing left over. Once I got it under $5,000 but my son, now a man, made a HUGE mistake and needed help, so now 1/2 of it is his, though in my name. we've been beating on it for ever, and still, at this exact moment in time, it's $11,000…..and I'm still hitting it with everything I've possibly can each month. Debt sucks the soul right out of life. Limits choices. Drags down your hopes and dreams. I will never retire, so that's a bummer, cause I have no savings, only fuc*ing debt, debt, debt.
Snowslow says:
I so feel you.
ClaraBelle says:
I had a similar scenario….kid's father died when they were toddlers and I struggled through the next many years trying to cover both basic costs and "surprises". They also made costly mistakes, like car accidents when they were teens, accidents which called for emergency money. Finally I was in similar debt (10 grand) which guaranteed to ruin the rest of my life. THAT is why bankruptcy exists, and I am so grateful I was able to come out from that unbearable load.
leskat says:
I think about this all the time when it comes to these types of jobs- you have to save like today is your last day working because those opportunities won't be around forever. Models, musicians, any sort of entertainer… if you strike it big, for the love of all that is good and holy, SAVE IT. I know it's probably so overwhelmingly hard to not keep up with the lifestyles you see around you but I don't know how you could amass so much credit card debt. That's bonkers. Use all that money you made to get a degree, create a back up plan.
Elkie says:
According to that article I once read on Forbes.com, apparently up to 60% of NBA players and 80%(!) of NFL players are bankrupt or "under financial stress" within five years of retiring.
The mind truly boggles.
That isn't surprising when you consider how massive the lifestyle costs of some of those players are. Not a whole lot of people have the ability to scale down so readily after losing their continuous income flow. One of the big reasons the 2000s recession was so damaging is because people in the middle class were tied to so much debt that when they lost jobs, it just started to pile up because they were stretched thin enough that there was no safety catch available to start with.
I totally believe it! The pressure to live up to some lifestyle standard must be insane and there also must be pressure from those around you who know what you make and teasing you like "oh what, you can't afford that?" People must be all over you to give them money and I can see how it can go very fast for those reasons. Every time I see someone with a new $250000 chain in the shape of a flamingo or buying 10 Bentleys I just shake my head because that's foolish. That's MC Hammer level shit.
Millenial says:
Yeah, it's amazing to me. You'd like someone like her agent or manager would have hooked her up with a financial planner once she started making decent money.
SK says:
I know three models.
One (my girl friend's girlfriend) is a very successful French model (covers of magazines, etc.) who has been modelling since she was in her early teens. She has no education, is quite dumb, and has absolutely no exit plan. She is very generous and spends money like it's going out of style. She buys the expensive handbags and travels constantly and lives very well. Her career is already slowing down (she is in her late 20s) and her agency is moving her around because her rates are high and not everyone is willing to pay them anymore. She has no skills, no education, no plan, no back up. God knows what she will do in the end. I have asked my (very intelligent and career driven) friend and she says her girlfriend has no financial skills and no plans for her post-modelling life and is spending all her money.
Another is a very successful Australian model based in NYC (covers again). She finished school and has gotten herself a tertiary education while she models – even though she's been modelling since she was a teenager. She is smart, she has an exact exit plan and knows exactly what she will do when her modelling career ends. She also has a number of side businesses and projects already. She never buys expensive stuff and thinks designer gear is a rip-off. She does sometimes get given it or get paid in it. I've seen her buy fake sunglasses from a vendor in the street. She gets her beauty treatments at the same salons we all do. Her only splurge is that she lives in a really nice apartment with expensive rent. Otherwise, she worked out what her friends her age were making on average, pays herself that average amount as a salary, and gets her father, who works in finance, to invest the rest of her earnings for her. Clever girl.
The third model I know was reasonably successful but never a cover girl. She's in her 30s and still working steadily. She worked out a long time ago that editorial work is more prestigious but commercial work pays waaaaaay more. So she does commercial work and is really good at it. She's smart and educated and lives a normal lifestyle saving the rest. She has more longevity because commercial models have more longevity. She will be fine
I also know a top European influencer who is spending all of her money she's making and saving nothing. She's super educated and has some side skills and businesses too. She's decided that she wants to have fun now when she's young and spend it. So she flies business class everywhere and stays in fancy places and lives in a fancy apartment. She's only 25 and she thinks she'll be fine living cheaply on a budget later on and doesn't care about not saving anything. I personally think that's a silly choice that she'll regret later; but it is her life. She also turns down lucrative (and fun) jobs all the time and fails to get people to pay correctly due to poor business skills.
A lot of models and athletes end up in debt. They think the money they're making is more than it is and they don't consider their futures once their careers fade. They are people around them living the high life and want to do the same. For models, their agencies charge them insane amounts of money for just about everything and large numbers of them end up in debt as a result. It's a seriously messed up business model!
Reef says:
With her credentials I'm super confused why she's broke. A young pretty blonde MODEL with Leo as an ex and almost 900k followers on IG. Does she need a manager? lol Unless she has a drug problem, she's broke by choice.
I agree with you 1000%. She's not in debt because she needed to put a roof over her kids heads or was hard up for groceries. She did it because she thought a $1000 jacket was a great idea.
Wow says:
Unless the industry just cut her off because she wouldn't follow their sick creepy offers probably that's why she's broke because in the end they're all just puppets working for the elite !
K-Peace says:
I once spent some time reading on a forum that discusses models & the modeling industry where a lot of people in that industry post; it was a thread about Erin, and, yes, people on there were strongly insinuating that Erin has a drug problem, as well as other personal struggles. And as for her former modeling career and why she can't return to it, last i knew, Erin had gained a significant amount of weight. Last i knew, she no longer looked at all like she did in her heyday. The last photos i saw of her (this was maybe a year or two ago), it looked like she had really let herself go. I felt/feel sorry for her.
From her recent IG posts (She posts about once a month), she looks fit, healthy, and model ready. She's getting legitimate branding offers in her IG posts. lolololol Her management company is true garbage if she's broke for real.
I don't remember her but I don't pay attention to VS models anymore. I took a quick look at her IG and there's a photo of her at an aerial yoga gym. That's expensive! Maybe she went for free since she listed the name of the gym? I like aerial yoga too but can't afford the classes so I bought the setup on amazon on prime day and had my brother install it in my home. It was maybe $50.
Annabel says:
I think it's insanely irresponsible to accumulate that kind of debt. I also think that shopping addiction is a real thing. For some people, "just stop buying stuff you don't need!" is about as useful as "just stop drinking!", advice-wise. This might be someone who's in a really dark place and needs some professional help.
I don't understand her income, though. Go get a job, Erin.
MM says:
Her modeling career must be well over, time to find another profession and start making money the old-fashioned way. I feel like this happens to all models but most of them just end up marrying a rich man.
osito says:
I'm wondering if there's something deeper at play here, like maybe she's surviving through mental illness, physical illness, PTSD, or something of the like. I love schadenfreude as much as anyone else, but it feels wrong to jump to "Why not work, tho?" without confirmation that there isn't a more serious issue under the surface.
I don't know about her but it is a reality for many people to have to use credit cards just to get by. I'm an attorney as well as my partner but we have crippling student loan debt and then my partner lost his job and couldn't find work for 1.5 years. I was pregnant at the time and we have a son with a chronic illness. Substantial Medical bills are a reality for us and we pay out a high deductible every year. We ended up having to charge the cobra insurance balance each month ($1300) while my income and our savings went to things we couldn't charge like mortgage, student loan debt and daycare. It was a struggle we are still trying to get out of
*shakes head* I can't imagine living under the shadow of that kind of debt. It makes me nervous enough knowing that I'm going to be pushing six digits of debt when I go to medical school, but at least that's a career that will pay off financially in the long run.
I have about $5K in credit card debt, but it's on cards whose APR doesn't kick in for another year, and I put hefty payments on them monthly, so it should be gone by the time it does. The reason it's so high is because I paid for half of my one degree out of pocket, and it just seemed smarter to put it the last few thousand on something without interest than take out private loans. I can't imagine the guilt and regret that comes from knowing you created your own hole on frivolous mistakes.
Karen2 says:
She took financial risks to get rich & famous Im assuming. & Looks like she wasnt handed expensive gifts when she was the girlfriend. Makes you wonder why she did it.
Good Luck to her paying off those debts. Its a tough life for many working women.
Tons of models don't make as much money as people think. You can blame her for being a shopping addict, but we don't have evidence of that. It's just speculation. The problem is that one day the phone stops ringing and the industry has moved on to someone else. And in the meantime these girls start paying for things with credit cards.
The more I learn about modeling, the less appealing it seems. The girls are treated pretty badly, they don't make nearly enough money to justify the weird lifestyle and they're discarded as soon as they turn 27. Watch the Vogue docuseries The Models. Many girls are in debt and turn to prostitution to pay the bills. Glad that at least Erin didn't feel like doing that.
She should become an Instagram model tbh. Those girls can make anywhere between 5K-50K per Instagram shill. Girl, whatever you need to do to save your ass and make some money DO IT. Start posting ads on Instagram and do whatever it takes to have money.
It's crazy but these Instagram models everyone makes fun of for not being "real models" are making more money than real models. True story. They all get paid to go to Coachella repping clothing brands. Even the girls from The Bachelor are making serious bank posting ads and launching clothing lines and accessories. Wine labels. I think any model who has lost work should create an online brand. That's what it's becoming anyway. Traditional modeling is dying. At least online you run your brand. Not a sexist agency.
Beach Dreams says:
Sure, but like Kaiser said, Erin made a lot of money in her heyday. Getting a spot on the modeling roster of Victoria's Secret means you receive a nice, steady paycheck (it's known that they pay more than most modeling gigs). It's even better if you become one of their more prominent models like Erin was at one point. I have no idea if she ever got to Angel status, but she was at least one of the regular faces for the brand. There's no reason she couldn't have done some proper investing and saving with that money.
I remember people were bewildered when Karlie Kloss signed a contract with VS a few years ago; some thought she was cheapening her brand by venturing outside of high fashion. The commercial profits and exposure that come with a VS contract can be way more beneficial than HF. But it obviously doesn't last forever so these ladies need to make the most of it.
Maybe there's more going on. Maybe mental health or substance abuse concerns. If she's depressed, she might not have the wherewithal to troubleshoot her career options. She still looks amazing and she does have almost 1M followers on Insta. That would be my first line of attack if I were her! She can get back on her feet for sure. Sending Erin good vibes!!!!!!!!!!! xo
She kinda looks like she is living a normal life according to her instagram.
I wonder if she is just a surf bum now and shying away from modeling? She really doesn't look like a super model in her instagram.
I was surprised to see that she is not an influencer. Do people who file for bankruptcy want to stop earning money until after the creditors are settled? I'm wondering if any cash flow will get siezed.
mycomment says:
I bet her manager is doing fine… otoh, Jamie dimon can just take it out of his coffee fund.. from the wapo today:
Wall Street banks and other parts of the financial sector spent close to $2 billion on lobbying and campaign contributions in the 2018 election cycle, a 36 percent jump from the last non-presidential campaign year, according to a new report released Tuesday. …
The surge in Wall Street's political spending came as commercial banks saw record profits, in part because the Republican tax law of 2017 also lowered their overall tax burden. Wall Street spent more during the 2018 midterm elections than it ever has on a non-presidential campaign cycle, the report found.
Currently paying off $10k credit card debt, so this article is making me feel a lot better!
To be honest, she never seemed as popular as some of the other VS models. I'm not surprised that her career seems stalled or cut off. That's a lot of debt and with high APR, she will probably never pay that off.
NicoleInSavannah says:
That photo in the white outfit is from 2.16.16. She could have easily NOT gotten into this spot, but that is without knowing if she has any mental issues, drugs, etc. And yes, a shopping addiction is very real. How I miss MTV Tru Life.

(PROSE POEM)
SUSAN FRIBERG
Winter's coming in her uneasy voice and I haven't settled a thing of the season. I haven't made any notations of passage like Dora out in the yard, stooped in her satin slip and hairnet with tears speaking to nobody passing by as she spends another day watching the last few leaves drop from the young ash almost shed. Or the man in the large house up on the corner—it's been four months since his wife left with her best friend. He's dying his hair black, and tucking in a new white shirt ready to find a pretty woman on her way to someplace else to love and care for him before the onset of long dark nights. Or like Edith braiding a circle of cornhusks around her head and peeing on the barn floor, straight on a chilltear running down her hard face—she's flag-draped and wrapped up in layers of muslin like gauze posing for strangers, with America on her mind. Or the sweet-faced man fatigued in camouflage, limp on his body in the rain. He smells like a thousand cigarettes as he mutters that he left Vietnam forty-five years ago to escape rain. Fading light drains geraniums left out on the lawn and cooler air is folding into focused moments under sky so blue it'd make you cry, and everything's curling up like cats waiting on top of the register for the hum of artificial heat. In bed, you're never chilled like me. Without covers you sleep naked, settled in, weaving the corn-moon rising into children brave and strong, fullborn with a sense of harvest before they plant.
Susan Friberg lives and writes in the Denver area. She's a member of the Lighthouse Writers Workshop where she has just completed a manuscript of poems. She attended the University of Iowa, and the University of Colorado where she studied photography and graduated with a degree in English. Recently, she served for 2 years with AmeriCorps, working as a health coach and community health worker at a family medicine clinic in Denver. She recently was selected for the Francine Ringold award for new writers in poetry (Nimrod International Journal).

Justice Department Asks Federal Court to Shut Down Utah Promoters of Solar Energy Tax Fraud Scheme
WASHINGTON, D.C. – November 24, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — Two Utah companies are running a nationwide abusive scheme that purports to use false tax deductions and claims of the solar energy credit to reduce their customers' federal income tax liability, according to a complaint filed today by the Justice Department. The United States' complaint seeks to stop Utah companies RaPower-3 LLC and International Automated Systems Inc.; Utah residents R. Gregory Shepard and Neldon Johnson; Nevada company LTB1 LLC and Oregon resident Roger Freeborn, from facilitating and promoting the allegedly abusive tax scheme.
According to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, the defendants promote an abusive tax scheme based on a purported solar energy generation facility in Millard County, Utah. The suit alleges that the defendants claim to own and operate technology that offers a "disruptive" and "revolutionary" approach to capturing and using solar energy. But, according to the complaint, the defendants' so-called technology is a sham.
"The Department of Justice and the IRS work aggressively to detect, investigate and shut down schemes that purport to allow others to avoid paying their proper federal income tax," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Caroline D. Ciraolo for the Tax Division. "If a tax scheme sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
The complaint alleges that the defendants purport to sell "solar thermal lenses" – component parts of their technology – to individual customers. According to the complaint, the defendants claim that a customer who purportedly purchases a lens is entitled to claim depreciation and other business-related expenses and the solar energy credit on the customer's individual income tax return. Under the proper circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code allows a taxpayer engaged in a trade or business to take certain tax deductions for expenses the taxpayer incurs while generating income; likewise, if all of the requirements are met, the tax law allows an "energy credit" for certain "energy property." But there are specific requirements a taxpayer must meet in order to lawfully claim either kind of tax benefit.
According to the complaint, the defendants know, or have reason to know, that their statements to customers and potential customers about tax benefits in connection with promoting their solar energy scheme are false or fraudulent. The complaint cites a number of reasons that the defendants allegedly know, or have reason to know, about the falsity of their statements, including that the lenses and the facility do not and will not produce solar energy that could be collected and used for any purpose that Congress intended to encourage through tax credits and that their customers are not engaged in any legitimate trade or business related to the scheme.
The complaint alleges that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has disallowed defendants' customers' claims of illegitimate tax benefits from the solar energy scheme. According to the complaint, defendants' customers, who reside around the country, have filed at least 70 cases which are currently pending in Tax Court. The complaint estimates that the harm to the U.S. Treasury from those Tax Court cases alone is more than $4 million.
The government's complaint further alleges that the defendants engaged in a multi-level marketing scheme to enrich themselves by encouraging customers to "sponsor" additional individuals to buy lenses. According to the complaint, some of the defendants' customers have recruited others to buy into the scheme, in exchange for a commission. In addition to stopping the marketing of the alleged tax scheme, the complaint seeks disgorgement of all income that the defendants earned through the alleged scheme and to stop the defendants from preparing tax returns or other tax documents for anyone else.
Abusive tax structures and return preparer fraud are both among the IRS' Dirty Dozen Tax Scams for 2015. The IRS has some tips on its website for choosing a tax preparer and has launched a free directory of federal tax preparers. In the past decade, the Tax Division has obtained injunctions against hundreds of unscrupulous tax preparers and tax scheme promoters. Information about these cases is available on the Justice Department's website. An alphabetical listing of persons enjoined from preparing returns and promoting tax schemes can be found on this page. If you believe that one of the enjoined persons or businesses may be violating an injunction, please ">contact the Tax Division

Business communications are changing and developing all the time, and today we have more apps to help us look polished and professional than ever before. We're starting with the signature because it reflects the company's attitude and trustworthiness. When you have a well-designed signature, it shows your clients that you are a serious company and you promote your brand both positively and professionally.
Some parts of the signature like the logo and the name of the company should always be standardised, but including the personal contact and necessary clarification of your employees gives it a particular touch.
Sticking to the brand guidelines pays off if your objective is to present the company in a professional light. Keeping everything simple and elegant makes you look presentable. The fonts and colours used should be familiar to your customers, and there is no need to experiment with custom fonts or bright colours. You shouldn't use a full image as your signature either, because it will be marked as spam due to the image-to-text ratio being too low. Don't use flashy colours and keep everything consistent at all times.
A white background is the best option because it ensures accessibility. Using nicknames, numbers or inspirational quotes is not kindly looked at in the business community. When you're managing a business's email account, you need to let every employee in your company know that they should only include contact information relevant to their position.
Another topic is social media links in emails (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram, etc.), and you're the only one that can decide whether they work in your industry. The argument is that this way, you can let clients and customers know that they can connect with you outside the inbox and hear more about your offers. Adding links directly to your accounts is easy, and it can be done through social media buttons.
Out of the office, auto messages are the notifications you receive when the person you're trying to reach is not available. These type of emails contain information about the return date of the recipient and info about the emergency contact you can reach out to instead if the matter is urgent. You can type up your autoresponder message in the Automatic Replies (Out of Office) dialogue box in your email account. On the following link, you can find some excellent, professional out of office templates that you can use for your next vacation!
If you want to change your name or choose from which email address you want to send out your messages, then you need to go in the email account settings. In the general account settings, you will find that you can modify your name, password, recovery phone number and other basic details.
In the email settings section, you can choose the email address from which business emails are sent to your clients and customers, and revise your email signature. In the business features section, you can create email addresses for your employees or generate aliases.

I'll never forget. You won't. They won't. And in the rare case of memory lapse, the media won't let you.
Today's long list of errands forced me to burn fossil fuel by driving around. I opted to listen to the radio, rather than my iPod. There's plenty of talk about remembering what happened eight years ago today. Our president made comments. The mayor of New York commented. And those survivors and relatives of those killed in New York, Pennsylvania and VIrginia also reflected and solemnly prayed or otherwise remembered.
Eight years later and there's no memorial in New York City. And yet we've got a fantastic memorial at the Pentagon and while we've got the Garden of Reflection in Pennsylvania, construction for the official Flight 93 Memorial has yet to break ground. What have we been doing? Arguing. Politicking. Special interests. Selfishness. Greed. Indecision. Ego. And what else? It amazes me how something so important to our country can quickly become a red herring.
Did the events of 9/11 change your life? After the shock, sadness and anger subsided and the flags slowly disappeared from houses, cars and fashion, what did you do? Were you affected? Or did you think you were affected because you should?
Me? Yeah. The events changed my life. Big time.
I was in a stuffy conference room at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas with about 20 of the leaders of my company at the time. It was all business. But somehow I felt that the company I founded was becoming more distant. Like a shooting star, when I first had the vision there was excitement, movement energy. But in that conference room we weren't waving flags. We were stunned. But we continued with business. We had to. Then the golf tourney. The decadent dinner and wine.
My wife at the time managed to find the only rental car available in all of Las Vegas. A convertible Ford Mustang. Flights were cancelled. Everyone was in flux. With one of my partners, I drove back to Orange County, California, with the top down.
A week later I drafted my resignation letter. Good god. I resigned from the company I founded. I was giving up my baby — my shooting star. But it felt good. Liberating. Then I had to tell my friends.
After a few months of counseling, my wife and I decided we'd be happier apart — so we amicably split and divorced. I started another company. Then I decided to ride my motorcycle around the world — alone.
I've been back for a year now. And the Digital Tavern has been given a facelift. And today I've committed myself to being more tenacious and prolific when it comes to writing. After all, 9/11 did change my life.
Previous post Things Classic. Heritage. And What's New Anyway?
Next post Baja California. History. Water. Endangered. And Great Photography.
In many ways, it seems my path paralleled yours. I recall watching the news that morning, mouth agape, in utter shock and shaken to the core. I realized, most poignantly, that life can end at any moment – that going through the motions and putting on a happy face doesn't cut it. My wife and I split within 6 weeks of that date, both realizing that unhappiness was buried within the mundane day-to-day routine, and whatever joy this world has in store for us needed to be actively sought out.
Within reason, I try to live my life without fear – though most decisions still seem tempered by reason. I laugh a little easier, shrug aside disappointment, take chances when I can, and generally live a fuller life. Yes, indeed, I was changed that day.
Jason – Thanks for your note here. And as I've always said, living life without fear is perhaps the only way one can realize all possibilities. It's important for all of us to remember (and learn) to trust. Trust ourselves. And trust others. Only then can one connect — truly connect with our passion and purpose — and with humanity. And after all, isn't that what it's all about!

Le Boeing 344 ou XPBB Sea Ranger est un hydravion à coque américain conçu et réalisé durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale pour les besoins de l'US Navy mais finalement jamais entré en service. Il fut le plus gros hydravion bimoteur construit aux États-Unis.

Historique

Développement industriel
En janvier 1942 soit juste après l'attaque de Pearl Harbor et l'entrée en guerre des États-Unis qui en découla l'US Navy fit savoir qu'elle recherchait un nouvel hydravion de patrouille maritime et de bombardement susceptible d'opérer dans le Pacifique. En effet à l'époque ces missions reposaient sur des machines bien plus conçues pour la reconnaissance aérienne que véritablement pour le combat, à l'image des Consolidated PBY Catalina et des Martin PBM Mariner. Elle contacta alors plusieurs avionneurs différents : Boeing, Consolidated, et Martin.

Si le cahier des charges ne prévoyait pas le nombre de propulseurs, il obligeait les constructeurs à avoir recours à des moteurs en étoile Pratt & Whitney R-2800 ou Wright R-3350. Si Boeing proposait un bimoteur, les deux autres constructeurs se tournèrent vers des quadrimoteurs. Ces machines furent respectivement désignés XPBB, XPB3Y, et XPB2M.

Au XPBB Boeing donna la désignation de Model 344. La fabrication de ce premier prototype fut relativement rapide, puisqu'il réalisa son premier vol le  depuis un plan d'eau artificiel installé à Boeing Field dans l'État de Washington. L'appareil démontra rapidement de bonnes capacités et son armement était tout bonnement impressionnant pour l'époque. Ses huit mitrailleuses mobiles de calibre  installées en tourelles blindées à l'avant, au milieu, et en queue de l'appareil lui octroyaient une puissance de feu inédite pour un hydravion à coque américain.

Essais en vol

Les officiels américains furent si impressionnés qu'ils firent immédiatement cesser les recherches par Consolidated, tandis que l'hydravion de Martin poursuivait lui son développement. La marine américaine s'orientait alors vers ces deux machines très différentes. Le concept de Martin devait déboucher sur le futur Martin PB2M Mars, un appareil à la longévité très particulière.

Le XPBB fut soumis à une batterie de tests et d'essais en vol par les ingénieurs de l'US Navy. Son rayon d'action lui autorisait des patrouilles loin derrière les lignes ennemies, notamment dans le cadre de la guerre du Pacifique, face aux avions de chasse japonais. Ses neuf tonnes de bombes en faisaient en outre un redoutable bombardier à même de frapper le territoire ennemi. Il représentait donc un avion extrêmement intéressant pour une US Navy sans cesse en conflit idéologique avec les United States Army Air Forces.

En décembre 1942, l'US Army Air Force fit en sorte que le programme soit abandonné, malgré une commande ferme pour 57 exemplaires désignés PBB-1 réalisée quelques semaines auparavant par l'US Navy. En effet l'aviation américaine argua que le développement du PBB ralentissait considérablement les travaux relatifs au bombardier stratégique B-29 Superfortress alors très attendu par les unités de bombardement. Le contrat fut officiellement résilié en février 1943. Finalement l'US Navy se reporta sur le Consolidated PB4Y Privateer, un avion de patrouille maritime dérivé du bombardier lourd B-24 Liberator.

Au service des essais en vol
Cela ne sonna pas pour autant le glas du XPBB qui continua de voler pour l'US Navy jusqu'en octobre 1943 comme appareil de soutien aux essais en vol. Il participa ainsi au développement de plusieurs appareils comme le Grumman TBF-1P. Par la suite il fut immobilisé et finalement officiellement retiré du service en 1947.

Aspects techniques

Description
Le Boeing 344 se présente sous la forme d'un hydravion à coque monoplan à aile haute cantilever disposant de deux flotteurs de stabilisation installés sous l'intrados de voilure. La voilure qui portait également les deux moteurs en étoile Wright R-3350-8 Duplex-Cyclone d'une puissance unitaire de  entraînant chacun une hélice métallique tripale. L'assemblage de l'hydravion était réalisé en métal avec des parties en contreplaqué. Il disposait de réservoirs auto-obturants. Une innovation qui le mettait à l'abri d'incendies en cas d'attaque par la chasse ennemie. Les mitrailleuses étaient installées dans des tourelles blindées placées sous l'empennage, au-dessus de l'extrados de fuselage et dans le nez de l'appareil. Cet hydravion possédait également une soute à bombes à même d'emporter et de larguer les  de bombes de sa charge offensive.

I recently found a PHP binary that has a one-line installer. It is actively maintained by Liip AG. I now use that in combination with HomeBrew for all the rest. The Liip package is compiled with pdo_dblib which makes the problem described in this post a non-issue.
I recently found myself in the position of having to connect to a remote Microsoft SQL Server from my OSX system using PHP. The production environment runs Ubuntu LINUX, where connecting via mssql_connect() was no problem, but I develop on OSX and I could not get this to work initially.
that lets you turn on debug logging to a file.
And then run your connection attempt again. Take a look at the log for details on the failure.
In the end I added a new entry for an MS SQL server at the end of the freetds.conf file and used its name in the call to mssql_connect().
In my case I had to deal with an instance name that would normally be appended to the host name in a connection string, but for this driver configuration you have to use a variable called instance.


All Christians need strong foundations in their lives. Beta is for those who've just finished Alpha and are thinking "What next?" or for people who want to strengthen their understanding of what it really means to be a follower of Jesus.
A typical meeting will start with everyone enjoying a meal together. This is then followed by an interactive talk concerning some aspect of what it means to be a Christian. The remainder of the time is then spent in small groups discussing issues or any other queries that you may have.
There will be plenty of time for questions and to stretch yourself as we explore together what the Bible teaches about prayer, hearing from God, reaching out to others and much more. In essence we're looking at what it means to be a disciple and learning to live like Jesus.

Preview: For this upcoming match from First Division Cyprus, between Apollon and AEL Limassol the tipster hovi will not pick the winner as this prediction is all about the total number of goals. Saying that, the tip for 09.02.2019 is the number of goals will be Over 2.5 in the Full Time, scored by Apollon and AEL Limassol together. The tipster stakes 28 at the odds of 1.75 given by Bet365. From this bet, hovi can make a possible profit of 21.00.
Well Apollon left a good impression in Europe this season being in the Europa Legue group stage where they made a couple of surprise results even winning away at Marseille their last game for example, and they are attacking minded having defeated AEL Limassol with 5-1 the last time that they hosted them last season so my bet is on over 2.5 goals being scored here.

Izaijev vnebohod je judovsko-krščanski psevdoepigraf.  Poznavalci ocenjujejo nastanek Izaijevega vnebohoda nekako od zadnjih desetletij 1. stoletja do zgodnjih desetletij 3. stoletja, večina ga uvršča v zgodnje 2. stoletje. Razlog za tako velik razpon pri datiranju je v dejstvu, da praktično ni informacij, ki bi omogočale zanesljivo datiranje v katerem koli določenem obdobju. Številni učenjaki menijo, da gre za zbirko več besedil, ki jih je dokončal neznani krščanski pisec, ki je trdil, da je prerok Izaija, medtem ko je vse več učenjakov v zadnjih letih trdilo, da je delo enega samega avtorja, ki pa je morda uporabil več virov.

Vsebina

Struktura
Knjiga ima tri glavne dele:

 Prvi del knjige (poglavja 1–5), ki ga na splošno imenujemo Izaijevo mučeništvo, pripoveduje in razširja dogajanje v Drugi knjigi kraljev, v 21. poglavju. Izaija opozarja umirajočega Ezekijo, da njegov dedič, Manase, ne bo sledil isti pot. Ko Manasse prevzame oblast in se Izaijevo opozorilo izkaže za resnično, se Izaija in skupina prerokov odpravijo v puščavo. Demon, imenovan Beliar, navdihne lažnega preroka po imenu Belkira, da Izaija obtoži izdajstva. Kralj posledično Izaija obsodi na smrt. Čeprav se Izaija skrije v drevo, ga najdejo.
 Sredi tega prvega dela (3: 13–4: 22) je krščanska apokalipsa, imenovana Ezekijeva zaveza, ki opisuje videnje Jezusovega prihoda, kasnejšo pokvarjenost krščanske Cerkve, vladavino Beliarja in drugi prihod . Vse to je pisano tako, da je očitno. da gre za preganjanje Cerkve s strani Nerona in prepričanje, da je bil Neron antikrist.
 Drugi del knjige (poglavja 6–11) se imenuje Izaijevo videnje in opisuje pot, ki jo je pred dogodki prvega dela knjige, s pomočjo angelov, opravil Izaija skozi sedem nebes. Ohranjeno je v obliki, ki je jasno zapisana s krščanske perspektive, osredotoča se na Jezusovo smrt in njegovo vstajenje, predvsem pa na Jezusov vnebohod. Obstoječi popolni rokopisi Izaijinega vnebovzetja vključujejo kratek prikaz Jezusove rojstne dobe, rojstva in križanja (11: 2-22).

'A most valuable storehouse of history'

The Registry has been in the impressive James Gandon-designed King's Inns since 1831, sharing the premises with the Honourable Society of King's Inns. (Michael Craig)
The Registry of Deeds, located in the King's Inns building in the north-west quarter of Dublin city, is one of Ireland's most remarkable archives, described by one commentator as 'a most valuable storehouse of history'. The Registry is at once a still-functioning public office for registering property transactions and a repository of centuries-old records of great importance to historical researchers. The year just ended saw the tercentenary of the Registry of Deeds, which opened for business in Dublin Castle in March 1708. The Registry is thus one of the oldest continually functioning Irish state offices, being surpassed in age perhaps only by such ancient legal offices as the attorney general and solicitor general. The Registry has been in the impressive James Gandon-designed King's Inns since 1831, sharing the premises with the Honourable Society of King's Inns (barristers' association).
New Property Registration Authority
The survival of the Registry of Deeds into the early 21st century in such a setting and so little changed is undoubtedly a wonder.
The late T. P. O'Neill, an expert on 'discovery', with President Eamon de Valera, whose signature features in the Registry.
Of course, so archaic an institution can no longer be entirely suitable for the needs of a modern economy with an active—indeed, until recently a hyperactive—property sector. The Registry of Deeds is therefore currently in the process of being subsumed, together with the younger Land Registry, established in 1892, into a new Property Registration Authority, which is headquartered in Chancery Street. Of most concern to the legal searchers, genealogists and historians who are the principal users of the Registry will be the question of continued, and indeed enhanced, access to the repository's older records.
These records are distinguished by the fact that they are substantially intact and have never suffered the damage or destruction that has befallen so many Irish archives, most notably the Public Record Office in the Four Courts in 1922. While the more recent records of the Registry are computerised ('e-conveyancing' is now close to reality), digitisation of the older deeds is still under consideration by the Department of Justice, which oversees the Property Registration Authority. A report by PA Management Consultants presented to the minister for justice in 2006 noted that current record storage arrangements in the Registry are not suitable for long-term archival preservation, going on to suggest that disposal of the state's interest in the King's Inns building could 'offset the considerable costs of a scanning and relocation project'.
Set up in the context of the Penal Laws
The Registry of Deeds, administered by a registrar, was established under an act of parliament passed in 1707, 6 Anne, chapter 2, the full title being 'An Act for the public registering of all deeds, conveyances and wills that shall be made of any honours, manors, lands, tenements or hereditaments'. While the general utility of the act is clear, the unpleasant penalisation of Catholics, which was an unfortunate feature of so much legislation of the period, is also evident in the preamble:
'For securing purchasers, preventing forgeries and fraudulent gifts and conveyances of lands, tenements and hereditaments, which have been frequently practised in this kingdom, especially by Papists, to the great prejudice of the Protestant interest thereof, and for settling and establishing a certain method, with proper rules and directions, for registering a memorial of all deeds and conveyances.'
The registration procedure was that, following the drawing up, signing and witnessing of a deed, one of the contracting parties, usually the grantee, had a copy or 'memorial' of the deed made and, following attestation before a justice of the peace, this memorial was sent to the Registry of Deeds. The Registry filed the original memorial, transcribed it in full into a parchment volume, and eventually indexed it. The first memorial was registered on 29 March 1708 and recorded a transaction relating to lands in the barony of Coslea, Co. Limerick, between Nanfan, Earl of Bellomont, and Connell Vereker. During the first two decades of the Registry of Deeds some 35,000 memorials were registered, and by the 1760s there were over 135,000 memorials. The total of memorials exceeded 250,000 by 1790 and had passed 500,000 by the 1820s.
The Registry of Deeds today holds nearly five million memorials, and the signatures of many of Ireland's historically prominent persons will be found on documents, for example Dean Swift, Henry Grattan, Wolfe Tone, Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stewart Parnell, William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory and Eamon de Valera. Up to the late nineteenth century and the significant expansion of Irish property ownership in the wake of the land acts, the Registry's records relate to a wealthy élite, with a bias towards non-Catholics and with the moderately well-off and poor rarely appearing. While genealogists tend to be familiar with the Registry, it would be fair to say that it is rather less used by historians. In addition to genealogy, typical non-legal uses would include biography, local history, architectural studies, landed estates research, house history and social history. The principal classes of deed that will be encountered in the Registry are leases, mortgages, sales, rent charges, marriage settlements and wills, as well as an unusual instrument of the penal era called a 'bill of discovery'.
Bills of discovery
One of the more obnoxious provisions of the penal laws against Catholics was that relating to 'Protestant discoverers'. A discoverer could file a bill in the Court of Chancery against a Catholic with a legally deficient lease, and claim the lease for his own benefit. Given that a principal thrust of the laws was against Catholic property rights, unearthing legal flaws was not a difficult task, in particular leases exceeding the 31 years permitted to Catholics. The process, however, was in fact also used by canny Catholics to protect themselves, by employing a 'collusive discovery'. Working with a trusted Protestant associate or agent, a spurious bill of discovery would be obtained, which on paper would see the property in question assigned to the Protestant, but in reality it would continue to be enjoyed by the Catholic.
The smokescreen of protection afforded by this legal manoeuvre was not infrequently completed by registering a deed of trust in the Registry of Deeds. The late T. P. O'Neill, an expert on discovery, has given examples of some transactions as they relate to Dublin property. Thus in 1737 one John Myers filed a bill in relation to the chapel of St Nicholas and adjoining holdings in Francis Street. Rather than the seizure of what was then the Catholic pro-cathedral of Dublin and its precincts, this was in fact a collusive device to protect the properties. Of course, genuine Protestant discoverers were active also, and many Catholics preferred to secure their property rights more surely by converting to the established church. Thus between the 1690s and 1790s the amount of land in Catholic hands fell from c. 15% to c. 5%, yet relatively little land actually changed hands.
Daniel O'Connell
In 1814 the Registrar of Deeds, Lord Kilwarden, was occupying the post as a sinecure, allowing a deputy to administer the Registry on his behalf—or, as a parliamentary enquiry delicately put it, 'he has never interfered in the management or execution of the duties'. Discontent over the way in which the Registry was run was evident from complaints by the Law Society recorded in another parliamentary report of 1831, to the effect that the fees charged were too expensive, that users were prevented from taking full abstracts from the registers and that finding aids were deficient. The transfer of the Registry of Deeds to the King's Inns in 1831 was followed by some reorganisation, and in particular the indexes became more detailed in respect of addresses of property. A remarkable instance of early information technology appears to have been involved in the efforts of a Mr Dillon in the 1870s to develop a machine to speed up the indexing of deeds, which, however, does not appear to have come to fruition.
The records of the Registry of Deeds only listed specific transactions relating to a given property, which had to be fairly laboriously searched out. There were increasing calls in the nineteenth century, and particularly in the wake of the land acts in the 1880s, for a superior system of registration that would record ownership, mapped location and other details of a given property in a single folio. The Registration of Title Act 1891 was designed to establish such an improved system, modelled on the ideas of Sir Robert Torrens, and gave rise to the Land Registry, which opened in 1892. As demonstrated by its continuing survival, the Registry of Deeds did not lose its utility, particularly with regard to urban property, and it was one of the institutions of the British regime that was maintained after independence in 1922. It is important to remember that the Registry retains records for all of Ireland before 1922, Northern Ireland having established its own Registry of Deeds after that date.
The Property Registration Authority was established under the Registration of Deeds and Titles Act 2006, and is carrying forward a modernisation programme commenced in recent years (Northern Ireland is following a similar trajectory).
Charles Stewart Parnell some of the historically prominent persons whose signatures will be found on documents in the Registry of Deeds.
The new authority is geared to developing the Land Registry model with the target of registering all property in the state, and it is obvious that the days of a separate Registry of Deeds are numbered because of its perceived archaism.
All institutions should be subject to reform, but in the case of the Registry of Deeds this should proceed with sufficient respect for its heritage and records. It is encouraging that the Property Registration Authority did mark the tercentenary of the statutory establishment of the Registry of Deeds in 2007, and it is to be hoped that the benefits of information technology will be applied to the older records in the Authority's care, as they have been to the newer. The Registry of Deeds has endured from the penal era to post-Celtic Tiger Ireland, in the process generating a remarkable archive of documents that should be rendered more accessible to a broader range of scholars, students and family historians.

Bucs QB Chris Simms loves kids and animals…His "Wild Adventures" program, which wrapped up Friday, repeatedly introduced one to the other
QB Chris Simms and his fellow adventurers found yet another way to get up close and personal with wildlife on Friday
Chris Simms wrapped up his three-part "Wild Adventures" series on Friday when he accompanied a dozen kids from The Children's Home to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback developed his exotic new program out of a love for children, nature and animals.
The Busch Gardens expedition marked the third and final educational outing for Simms and his Wild Adventures participants. The group's first trip brought them face to face with exotic cats at the Big Cat Rescue in Tampa where they learned about many different feline species. On their second journey, Simms and the children visited Fantasy Island, a small land mass used by the Florida Aquarium to teach people about marine life.
Friday's visit to Busch Gardens capped off the series in exciting fashion. This was no ordinary theme park visit; Simms and the children enjoyed a behind-the-scenes conservation program provided by the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund.
The day began with a Serengeti Safari Truck Tour, one of the park's most interactive exhibits. As the truck entered the open plain where exotic animals roam freely, Tango the giraffe was waiting for a snack. Simms and the kids were able to feed both Tango's appetite and her curiosity as they gave her lettuce when she stuck her head in the back of the truck for a closer view. As the safari tour continued, the group rode right beside free-roaming zebra, antelopes and endangered rhinos.
After the safari, Simms and the children headed to the Nairobi Field Station to walk around in the flamingo habitat and become acquainted with these tropical birds. The group then settled into an outdoor picnic area where they received private introductions to a hedgehog, a three-toed sloth, a Burmese python and a warthog.
The children were eager to touch the animals and learn more about their natural habitats, eating habits and behavior patterns. Of course, "eager" is a relative term; not everyone in the group was dying for a hands-on interaction with each of the above animals. In fact, it took the extent of their powers of persuasion for the children to eventually coax Simms into taking a picture with them in front of the 85-pound python which was stretched out on the ground in front of them.
"This was a great learning experience for myself as well as the kids," Simms said of the animal introductions, apparently forgetting his earlier trepidation. "It was a great chance to get outside in the nice weather and have some fun."
The Wild Adventures program came naturally to Simms, as it incorporates two of his favorite things in life.
"I enjoy being around kids a lot, and probably second to that is animals," he said. "I just figured they were a perfect match. The kids seemed to really enjoy the program, and I know I have."
While the impending NFL season may mark the end of their Wild Adventures in 2006, Simms knows he hasn't seen the last of his young friends. Each year, the Buccaneers Rookie Club visits The Children's Home for a Halloween party, complete with pumpkin carving. Simms has attended the Halloween party every year since his rookie campaign and plans to do it again this year.
"I know I'm going to see the kids at Halloween when we carve the pumpkins, and I'm sure we'll try to get together at least one or two more times after that," Simms said. "The kids are so pure at heart, and it keeps me pure at heart, too."
