Just like any kind of unforeseen expense, getting a surprisingly large tax bill can really set you back financially. For this reason, many Washington residents will simply pay their taxes on their credit cards with the idea of paying the money back later. The problem is, for some, paying taxes with a credit card results in a never-ending debt issue.

A small increase in the Federal Reserve's interest rates could have a dramatic effect on the American public -- especially those who are carrying consumer credit-card debt. As it stands, WalletHub reveals that United States consumers are holding on to a lot of credit card debt at the moment and the problem is only getting worse -- to the tune of $92 billion worth of extra debt accrued last year.
50 Cent's bankruptcy: Is he a Bitcoin millionaire or not?
On behalf of Law Office of Ruth Nelson posted in Chapter 7 on Friday, March 16, 2018.
Rumors have been circulating about the rap superstar 50 Cent being worth millions of dollars in Bitcoins. Those rumors allege that he forgot about his cryptocurrency holdings. This is a potential issue, because he is going through bankruptcy proceedings.
Can bankruptcy prevent my home foreclosure?
On behalf of Law Office of Ruth Nelson posted in Chapter 7 on Friday, March 9, 2018.
The last thing any homeowner wants to happen is foreclosure. The fears associated with this process are even worse if your spouse and children live with you in your home. That said, there are many people who have delayed and prevented their foreclosure proceedings through a strategic bankruptcy filing. Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be particularly useful to homeowners in this regard as it's a way to restructure your debt, giving you some breathing room and making it affordable to get back on financial track again.

Party chief optimistic about leftist resurgence in Mexico

HÀ NỘI — Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng said yesterday that he believes leftist and progressive forces will gain electoral strength in Mexico.
His optimism was expressed in a meeting in Hà Nội with visiting General Secretary of Mexico's Labour Party (PT) Alberto Gutierrez.
Gutierrez congratulated the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) on the success of the 12th National Party Congress and said the country will continue to make greater progress on the Đổi mới (reform) path.
He briefed Trọng on current developments in Mexico as well as the left-wing movement in Latin America.
He also informed the Party leader about the outcomes of working sessions held by the PT delegation with Vietnamese agencies and sectors, as also on the implementation of co-operation agreements between the two parties.
Trọng acknowledged the solidarity shown by PT and Mexican people with their Vietnamese brethren.
Congratulating PT on its recent successes, he said he believes that the party, together with left-wing and progressive forces in Mexico, will weather difficulties and continue to win at upcoming elections.
He informed Gutierrez about the current situation in Vietnam and expressed his hope that the two parties will foster extensive and substantive co-operation.
Earlier, the visitors held talks with a CPV delegation led by Hoàng Bình Quân, Chairman of the Party Central Committee's Commission for External Relations. They discussed ways to strengthen collaboration between the two parties and exchanged views on regional and international matters of mutual concern.
On Tuesday, the Mexican delegation visited the Vietnam News Agency (VNA), which is releasing several publications in Latin America with PT's support.
VNA Director General Nguyễn Đức Lợi appreciated the PT's assistance in training editors as well as in publishing and distributing the news agency's publications, including the Vietnam Pictorial magazine.
The PT leader said his party has issued many publications on Việt Nam's revolution. He hoped that the VNA will co-operate with PT in establishing a centre to publish Vietnamese books in Spanish. — VNS

Advance booking prior to the intended treatment time is essential.
To fully enjoy of your spa experience, please arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment time.
For the comfort of other spa guests, please ensure your electronic devices are switched off upon entry to CHI, The Spa.
In consideration of other spa guests, as your treatment requires that facilities be reserved, we request a minimum two hours notice if you are unable to keep your appointment.


It matters where we shop. It matters where the things we buy come from, and what the supply chain is on the way to our purchase. As you shop for holiday gifts you might be thinking to make your dollars go a little further – both in purchasing power and in impact on the world. How do you do such a thing?
You can start by buying local, whenever possible, and fair trade, whenever what you are buying comes from somewhere else. The best way to get things from foreign places, as far as I see it, is to get as direct a line to the person who made whatever it is as possible. Yes, middle men need to eat, too. But frankly I'd rather know that the person who made the coat I'm wearing, or the person who grew that chocolate, got a decent portion of the money I'm spending on it.
So I look for small companies, or organizations, that have direct relationships with their producers. One of my favorites in Seattle is Ten Thousand Villages. Ten Thousand Villages was founded in 1946 by Edna Ruth Byler, the wife of a Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) administrator. She was struck by the poverty she saw on a trip to Puerto Rico, and wanted to do something about it. So she bought a bunch of needlework from local artisans, and took it back with her to Pennsylvania, where she sold it to her friends and neighbors. She started a grassroots campaign to support local artisans in third world countries, and her work was eventually taken up by the Mennonite church, and eventually became its own entity – Ten Thousand villages. They have stores in many cities and a decent online store.
This isn't an unusual story. In any city you can probably find a gift shop run by the person who travels to other countries to pick out items straight from the artisans who make them. What is unique about this approach, in most cases, is that the artisans thus get a decent wage for their work. And you usually get well made items for a decent price. It's is like buying local from a different country.
One World Goods is one of those single store on the corner fair trade marketplaces, in Rochester, NW. La Tienda is another small store in Seattle. Both of these also have websites, but you have to shop in person. Check out the Fair Trade Federation to find a store near you.
I've recently come across another entry to this list, which specializes in crafts from Nicaragua. I found them through their blog Life Out of the Box. They've put a new twist on the theme, though, which connects you back to the community even more. For every item you purchase from their store, they give a gift to a child in the community. Mostly they are simple things, like a school notebook and pencil. It is one of those things that takes me right back into gratitude – both for what I have, and for there still being places where a notebook brings a huge smile to a child's face.
Do you have a favorite fair trade store in your town?
Great Idea: Spending your money in ways that support living wage jobs in all communities.
Practical Step: Buy local, fair trade, and fun.

Being one of those guys who noses around the Internet at every opportunity for anything remotely related to motorcycles, it's always nice when I find something vintage I've never seen before. I've done just that this week. Jackpot. I give you, "Street Smarts", a bonafide low-budget jewel from the height of the VHS era.
Being a video guy myself, and a fan of niche motorcycle stuff, I was surprised that Street Smarts (1990) had somehow slipped under my radar all these years. Once discovered, I found it in pieces all over YouTube and a few other video sites. Not being able to find it for sale from the original production house, I gathered it up, put it all back together and reposted it in its entirety.
Street Smarts was apparently one of the first independently produced how-to motorcycle safety titles of the 1990s. And while horribly flawed in some of its instructions (for example, it advises the viewer to never use a motorcycle's rear brake and to not do a full head-check, among other wildly incorrect assertions), it still contains a modicum of good information. But more importantly, if you can get past the poor on-camera presence of some of the so-called "experts" and the sometimes questionable things filmed on the street in order to demonstrate what not to do, you'll enjoy an hour of great classic motorcycles from a quarter century ago. Honda Hurricane alert!
In the process of re-assembling the video, I also found its sister titles Street Smarts II and Street Smarts III, which I didn't bother messing with since they were pretty tedious, filled with even more bad info than the first edition, and generally unwatchable by my tastes.
At any rate, here it is in all its late '80s glory. Enjoy.


The indictment said that between 2010 and 2015, Bradley and Jimmy Price and Brierly raised tobacco in Bourbon and Nicholas counties, while Brandon Price raised tobacco in Nicholas County.
The four allegedly gave insurance companies false information, saying they grew less tobacco than they actually had, in order to claim damage to their crops and get insurance payments, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Robert M. Duncan Jr.
They also allegedly sold the extra tobacco and then tried to hide that production by making it appear they'd bought burley from Clay's Tobacco Warehouse, the release said.
The four are also charged with conspiring with each other, and others not named in the indictment, to launder money from the sale of hidden tobacco by passing it through an agricultural lender called Farm Credit Mid-America.
In addition to seeking criminal convictions, the government wants to seize land from Bradley and Jimmy Price — and the contents of bank accounts from all four — if they are convicted.
The indictment also includes a request for financial judgments against the four: $264,352 from Bradley Price; $110,257 from Brandon Price; $110,526 from Jimmy Price; and $52,857 from Brierly.
The case comes on the heels of other recent indictments alleging fraud in connection with federal crop insurance.
In March, Paris farmer Ronnie Jolly was charged in an indictment that alleged he grossed $2.6 million through fraudulent crop-insurance claims and other illegal acts.
Jolly, who owned or rented farm land in Bourbon, Scott, Bath, Fleming and Montgomery counties, has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.
And in April, Debra Muse, a Fleming County woman who had worked as a crop-insurance agent, pleaded guilty to helping burley tobacco growers steal money through the federally-backed program.
Muse has not been sentenced.


'Towards Critical Cultural Foresight: Australian Futures Studies' (Masters Thesis, The University of Queensland, 2001) addresses the manner in which knowledge of the future (or futurestext, information positioned and empowered as 'relevant' to the future and significant to the construction and formation of the 'future' subject) is created, propagated and given prominence in Australian culture and Australian studies in moving from the second to the third millennium. It argues that the future can be positioned as a text subject to various desires and uses and that from such positioning a form of apocalyptic thinking can be observed as a deep cultural process guiding interpretations of the future for Australians. Situated within the discipline of Australian studies, a field succinctly described by Ffion Murphy as 'a discursive formation and cluster of theoretical and methodological strategies for scholarly inquiry into Australia', this thesis interrogates the politics behind processes actively inventing the future.

Urban Insight and Pine Tree Legal Assistance are pleased to announce that Urban Insight has donated software that helps website visitors navigate complex legal problems in a logical, organized manner to Pine Tree Legal Assistance. Pine Tree Legal Assistance will make the software available for free to help website users ask for legal assistance and learn about their legal rights.
The GuideClearly web software is accessible at https://www.guideclearly.com/ and will be managed and maintained by Pine Tree Legal Assistance, Maine's largest civil legal aid provider, and also the operator of StatesideLegal.org, a website that provides legal help of military members, veterans and their families.
GuideClearly was developed and prototyped by Urban Insight, the LA-based digital agency responsible for numerous legal aid tech projects, including ReadClearly, WriteClearly, and the Drupal for Legal Aid Websites platform. The GuideClearly software quickly gained popularity among legal aid technologists and website managers for its ability to easily create interactive guides for website users without any coding necessary.
"GuideClearly-powered interviews help users navigate what are often complex legal problems in a logical, organized manner, which can provide tremendous value to statewide legal aid websites," says David Bonebrake, Program Counsel for Technology at the Legal Services Corporation. "We're excited that Pine Tree Legal Assistance will continue to support this important tool and hope that states continue to use it to help low-income people meet their legal needs."
"We are so delighted to be able to contribute this software to the legal aid community where it can continue to evolve and help even more people," said Gergely Lekli, Director of Technology Infrastructure for Urban Insight.
With a friendly design for both creators and users and a generous allowance of free sessions, GuideClearly has allowed programs from Maine, to Kansas and Idaho to create interactive guides and mini triage tools and easily embed them on their websites.
"GuideClearly has been such a valuable tool for Kansas Legal Services," Melissa Nolte, Website Coordinator, said. "We are able to guide our site users through a process that seamlessly and intuitively narrows down their search for services or information. It is simple and easy for users to use as well as for staff to create. Urban Insight provided GuideClearly at a time when I was at a loss about how to really help users in their website search. I heard from users about their frustrations in searching," Nolte said, "and when I discovered GuideClearly, I was thrilled to create this helpful approach for our many users." She adds, "Kudos to Urban Insight for giving legal aid the opportunity to help website users with the often unfamiliar terrain of asking for legal assistance or learning about their legal rights in a non-threatening format."
Pine Tree Legal Assistance uses several GuideClearly embedded guides on their own site, and are proud to accept this generous gift from Urban Insight on behalf of the legal aid technology community. "We were an early adopter of GuideCearly," Jack Haycock, Client Focused Technology Innovator at Pine Tree Legal Assistance, said. "We are so grateful that Urban Insight has entrusted us with their creation. We will do our best to be a good steward of GuideClearly for the legal aid community, and will start by making the service 100% free for all users."

First 2008 autopsy protocol.
OK, we've been slacking a bit with the site updates lately but here we go:
First off, thanks to Raul who set up our very successful mini-tour of Spain last November. Also many thanks to all the bands we played with and all the people who came out to the shows, can't wait to play in Spain again. Cheers!
We played at the Grindfest 08 in Portugal recently and it was a complete success. Hope to come back soon and do it again!
Speaking of shows, we're confirmed for this years installment of the Party San festival in Bad Berka, Germany. More info at their website.
In other news, song writing for the next album is progressing steadily. We've got about half of the album written and rehearsed, and a few more songs that are still developing. Looking to write even more material during the spring, and hopefully we can hit the studio in the summertime. As for now, it's too early to say how the new album will sound, but so far the new songs leans a bit more towards the classic Swedish DM sound than pure grindcore. Maybe that will change as we progress with more new songs, we'll just have to wait and see.

My name is Roxanne and I am a foodie.
I am not the kind of foodie that writes reviews, I am the kind of foodie that loves food…all food…except for spam and liver. I like to blame my love of food on my Italian roots. Italians are known for their food, both the food they make and the food they eat. But then again, I am also Irish. The Irish are not known for their food. Nobody has ever said, I feel like having a nice Irish meal tonight, unless of course it's St. Patrick's Day when we consume copious amounts of Corned Beef and Cabbage as a nation, whether we're Irish or not. Washing it down with Guinness seems to make it that much more enjoyable and helps us to be oblivious to the fact that "corned beef and cabbage" is not really an Irish meal, but that's another story for another time.
There comes a moment in every foodies life when we have over-indulged, the thickness has caught up with us, and we decide it's time to do the "E" word…exercise. My first clue that this was the case for me was when I was teaching my high school students about adjectives. I decided to make the lesson interactive. Students had to pick a name of someone in the class and give two nice adjectives describing them. The clincher was each adjective could only be used once. I'm still not sure why I included my name, but I did. It was chosen by one of the boys. His first adjective, was "funny." His second adjective was "squatty." How that fell into the realm of "nice adjectives" is still a mystery, but I quickly decided that "squatty" was not how I wanted to be described. This presented another problem. I do not like exercise. I've made the decision to exercise many times. In my younger days I exercised fairly consistently. My children have vivid memories of sitting on the couch when they woke up watching Mommy finish doing her thing so they could have breakfast. My exercise of choice was either Reebok Step Aerobics or Charlene Prickett on It Figures. I will even say I think I must have almost enjoyed it back then.
Now, whenever I plan to exercise, if I even think about exercise, I've noticed an automatic response from my body…I get sick. When things make us sick, or give us a bad reaction, we rightly conclude that we are allergic. And so, I have come to the logical conclusion…I am allergic to exercise. That being said, and wanting, nay needing to start exercising again and not wanting to be sick, I came up with a brilliant plan. I meandered through the possibilities available on YouTube, and told myself, exercise"Maybe someday I'll exercise again." Then, I woke up yesterday morning and just did it. I pulled up YouTube, found my old Reebok Step Aerobics, and started stepping. It's a bit harder than I remember. It's also a lot longer. I got halfway through the 45 minutes and deemed my plan a success. Day two I decided to find something shorter. I found a video just as old, the instructor is a man with a mullet, but it's only 23.5 minutes long AND I can do the whole thing! So far, I've got 2 days under my belt, we'll see if I can keep it up. If not well, maybe being "squatty" is really not that big a deal!

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed inbetween the pages.
"What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With astonishment, he claimed: "I think it's Adam's suit!"

Renowned New York Philharmonic Clarinetist Stanley Drucker Has Died, Aged 93
Mary McCartney December 24, 2022 Classical Music Leave a comment 0 Views
The Brooklyn native had the longest career of any clarinetist in a major orchestra, serving for 62 years
Stanley Drucker, who was a clarinetist in the New York Philharmonic for six decades, recently passed away, aged 93. Of all the major American orchestras, Drucker had one of the longest careers of any wind player — giving over 10,000 performances and appearing on a number of recordings.
Born in Brooklyn to Austro-Hungarian parents, Drucker was initially inspired to take up the clarinet by Benny Goodman. At the age of 10, he went to learn from Leon Russianoff, who taught at The Juilliard School and at the Manhattan School of Music. After just six years of study, Drucker won a place in the Indianapolis Symphony, before he had even finished high school.
In 1948, at the age of 19, Drucker took up a place in the New York Philharmonic as Assistant Principal, rising to the Principal post in 1960. He was to stay there until his retirement at the conclusion of the 2008/2009 season, at which time he received a Guinness World Record for the longest career as an orchestral clarinetist.
Alongside his impressive performing career, Drucker made a number of accomplished recordings. He was nominated for a Grammy on two separate occasions: for a recording of Copland's Concerto for Clarinet, Strings, Harp and Piano (under Leonard Bernstein), and of John Corigliano's Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra (under Zubin Mehta) — a work commissioned especially for Drucker.
Drucker is survived by his wife, Naomi Lewis, as well as their two children and two grandchildren. Our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
"I will miss Stanley as a friend, a mentor who took risks, a colleague who helped me gain the confidence to be his replacement for four years when he retired and then go off to Principal in the Houston Symphony, and as a family man," wrote Mark Nuccio, one of Drucker's colleagues in the New York Philharmonic. "He was a very proud man that bled Blue and Purple (Buffet Clarinets and Vandoren Reeds) and was as loyal as they come."
"He's a legend," said conductor Gustavo Dudamel of Drucker in 2007. "The history of the orchestra is in him."

What I've discovered is when I run manage.py syncdb, it is not creating any tables in my database. This is an empty database, which explains the above error.
I ran manage.py sqlall myapp and it displayed all the models in myapp.models
I can start the shell and import myapp just fine.
So why doesn't manage.py syncdb create my tables?

A: This is before I learned about South.  I wasn't using migrate, so syncdb wasn't adding my new models.


22,000 To Attend The Katowice Jolly!
The jolly has now started in Katowice, and as usual thousands are going along.
The UK's delegation is led by Claire Perry, and consists of 52 bureaucrats.
NGOs are sending more than 6000, all designed to put pressure on elected politicians. For some reason, there does not appear to be anybody representing ordinary people's interests!
But there is room for the Mom Loves Taiwan Association!!
It's going to be cold and wet in Poland this week.
Winds are light and there's not much sunshine.
The supposed purpose of COP24 is to agree the "rulebook", the details of how nations should implement the Paris Agreement and report their progress.
1) Money – how the $100bn a year of climate aid, which is supposed to start in 2020, will be funded, and who will pay it.
In reality, the first tranche of $100bn, agreed in 2009 at Copenhagen and intended to be spread up to 2020, has still not coughed up more than a few billion. Most of it is in any event not new money.
The chances of rich countries agreeing anything are zero.
2) Monitoring emissions – there is supposed to be regular "stocktaking" of emissions in each country, to see whether progress is being made.
China has long objected to this being done by objective, independent observers, and this will not change.
There will also be no agreement on mechanisms for delivering sanctions to states that do not meet their targets, not least because there is no provision in the Paris Agreement for this.
The role of "big" states will also be up for discussion. Developed countries will be under more pressure to up the ante. However, the US will clearly veto anything on those lines.
More significantly though, even the EU have made it quite clear that they will not improve their commitments, unless countries like China and India also accept more responsibility.
There will be much whining from poorer states about how unfair it all is. And it will end with a totally meaningless declaration, which will kick the can down the road again.
We can of course expect the BBC to present it as a giant step towards saving the planet. But when we get to COP25 next year Matt McGrath will have to admit how little this year's shindig actually achieved.
Coal accounts for 82.3% and gas a further 6.3%.
Gordon Bennett! Just think of the carbon footprint of that lot, all in the purpose of bolstering up their air miles. 22k + hypocrites, every single one of them.
The alternative looks so much better: don't bother with the meetings, and spend the taxpayer money on real problems, such as fuel poverty.
"Offsets". Isn't that like Monopoly money?
Offsets are the modern indulgences.
The irony is that it's really only fossil fuels which keep the lights & internet connections on, for those 22k visitors.
As I type this, 85% of Poland's electricity is either gas- or coal-generated.
At this time of year its probably close to 100%, because despite the claim of a BBC "expert" yesterday, solar does diddly squat in cloudy weather.
And diddly-squat when the sun's low in the sky, as it is for half the year and nothing whatsoever at night when we need it the most. Waste of space.
What joy is this? can't you sense the browbeating, all EU taxpayers should, particularly those sad poor benighted stiffs living here: in the UK.
Donald Trump said no, the obarmy fashioned deal is a crock and how right he is.
I wonder if, there is in Katowice – an Italian delegation rolling up?
The US won't be there, nor the Chinese, I doubt there'll be much commitment from Brazil, and the French PM has pulled out to deal with far more important matters closer to home.
Perhaps the other countries ought to take note.
The French riots over a 25% rise in fuel duty will be as nothing when they find out what it costs to go 'carbon-neutral'.
Perhaps you should try some research before you state that the US and China are not attending COP24 since they are on the freely available list of attendees.
They will not be there in the numbers of the past, but they will certainly be there. The US climate establishment will not let this pass and they will be telling their global colleagues to have patience, Trump will soon be be gone (they hope) and then they can resume their rightful place. "We'll be back" as a certain Swedish Californian might say.
22,000 Delegates! The sad thing is that if none of then attended the next conference, or the last one, then the world would be no different to what it is now, Sorry, we would all be better off than we are now!
Are knives allowed in meeting rooms?
On top of the Government and NGO reps we also have all those rich posturing "celebrities", spelt a r s e h o l e s, who will also be berating us plebs for using too much energy and wanting to own our own cars and go on holidays etc.
Biggest bunch of hypocrites in the world.
David Attenborough made a speech based on comments on twitter using the hashtag #TakeYourSeat.
I don't use twitter, but I wonder if any sceptics sent comments, and if so, were those comments represented?
Virtually all the comments look like the climate change cult only, complete with the pictures of children spewing the crap their parents and teachers told them to say (with a picture of the adorable child, of course), drawings and a plethora of "we're all dead if draconian measures are not taken" (with zero understanding of what the means I'm sure). There was one comment about having the conference in a coal using nation, but it may disappear soon. I saw nothing "skeptical" in any comments, but I didn't devote a lot of time to reading them. They just parrot each other anyway.
While again holed below the waterline by your efforts it will make little difference to this orchestrated hysteria as all are stranded on a sandbank of their own making.
All these people will be a drain on taxpayers too, all with snouts in the trough. It just shows how many organisations are hanging off this scam.
20K snouts in the troff. 20K people wasting other peoples money on worthess virtue signalling. Yee gods!
30,000 according to their own intro video.
How much carbon will this lot release on their jolly.
What a complete scandal the whole thing is.
Attenborough is leading the 'emissions' charge of the globetrotting climate whingers.
He is a population controller: https://populationmatters.org/ As with many other social areas, the climate bandwagon is a means of advancing the agenda.
Whilst this egregious waste is going on we are assailed by pleading adverts from UNICEF for more cash for starving kids here and now. The UN has never been more awash with our cash. Our government wastes a fortune on foreign aid. If kids are starving and it is physically possible to get aid to them, what possible excuse is there for needing more of our cash and not already having 'saved' them?
The African Republic of Guinea must now realise how serious is the threat of climate changing, or (possibly more likely), that fewer $$$ will now be handed over to countries claiming penury.
It has reduced its delegation size from the 492 bodies it flew to Bonn last year, to only 406 it's flown to Katowice. A laudable reduction of 17%. If only all Paris signatories achieved a 17% emissions reduction in a year.


The 2018 Yarn Over Dublin project was the third iteration of Dublin Arts Council's (DAC) yarn storming program that engages senior citizens, fiber artisans, fiber art instructors and the greater community in the creation and installation of public art to activate public spaces.
In 2014, Dublin Arts Council (DAC) conducted a community survey, the results of which showed a desire for more art created by the community, art that brings the community together, and more temporary or street art projects. In 2016, DAC engaged with the Dublin senior citizen community, Dublin City Schools students and community volunteers to create a temporary "yarn storming" installation to activate the Historic Dublin district. The clandestine project was installed after sundown on June 10, 2016, the evening before International Yarn Bombing day on June 11.
The project returned in 2017 with Yarn Over Dublin: Collection. Participants from various retirement communities in Dublin worked diligently to create fiber artworks to temporarily adorn Dublin's Art in Public Places collection. Participating groups included Brookdale Trillium Crossing, The Convalarium of Dublin, Dublin Retirement Village, Friendship Village of Dublin, The Grand of Dublin, Knit Knacks, Mayfair Village Senior Living Community, the Phyllis A. Ernst Senior Center of Hilliard and Syntero.
The six-week installation Yarn Over Dublin: Collection launched on June 10, 2017, International Yarn Bombing and Worldwide Knit in Public Day.
For the third iteration of Yarn Over Dublin, participants working in groups at Brookdale Trillium Crossing, The Convalarium of Dublin, Dublin Retirement Village, Friendship Village of Dublin, The GRAND of Dublin, National Church Residences Avondale, Mayfair Village and Syntero – Mill Run created artwork over the course of a year that adorned structures in the Bridge Park development. The creation of the yarn storm artworks, including but not limited to the selection of design, material and technique, allowed participants to express themselves individually within the group project.
As the installation was on view between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, many participants chose to create blankets inspired by the American flag, which were displayed in the Bridge Park parking garage elevator lobbies. The artworks are currently on display in the facilities in which they were created, and will soon be donated to local veterans.
Yarn storming, also known as yarn bombing, is a non-destructive form of graffiti or street art which employs the use of colorful yarns and fabrics instead of paint or chalk. Yarn storming is primarily used to activate spaces that otherwise may be overlooked, bringing new life to everyday objects.
The yarn storming community is a local, regional, national and international collective that shares and celebrates ideas to create an inclusive arts creation forum. Yarn storming is tactile and accessible, site-specific and thought provoking. Yarn storming projects, including Yarn Over Dublin, celebrate cross-generational art creation and craft history.


You probably started 2018 with high hopes for your business. You hoped that sales orders would come in, that new ideas would work, that new recruits would live up to their CVs, that profits will grow, that your operations run seamlessly, that your marketing delivers, and that you can plan for the future. But now as Autumn approaches and the nights grow darker do you still feel quite so optimistic?
Hope drives us all, but hope is not a strategy and hope alone is never enough. The big question is, despite all of the uncertainty in your own business and the world at large, can you create any certainty for your businesses?
The answer is yes, you can. Certainty stems from knowing where you're headed, and what the outcomes will be. Certainty is having systems in place that you can influence in a controlled manner. Certainty is having the confidence to make the right decisions because you know what works and what doesn't. As business owners and CEO's there is a lot that is in your control, but priority number one has to start with the right business strategy.
But, I hear you say , isn't strategy just the theory of business operations? What you want is practical solutions that can be implemented now. It's time for an analogy. Take sport. If you want to get better what's the first thing you do – seek advice. An expert can look at your technique, diet, posture, tactics, the equipment you use, your mental attitude, and give you a plan on how to improve. They will develop a strategy to help you get better. It's the same with business.
Unless you have the right strategy in place the road ahead is going to be a tough one. You need look no further than these stats to see the scale of the issue. 75% of small to medium scale businesses (SME's) have no formalised strategy. Of the 25% that do, most flounder in their implementation as certainty ebbs away and they fall back on the threadbare comfort blanket that is hope.
It's little wonder that the failure rates among businesses are so high. 46% of SME's fail due to incompetence and a further 30% because of lack of experience. With stats like this you can see why banks are hardly rushing to lend money to smaller businesses. Quite simply their actions are not earning businesses the right to gain access to cash and thereby the resources and talent that they desperately need.
So how do you break out of this cycle?
You need to ferociously scrutinise where you are now, why you want to go in a certain direction and discover the steps you need to take to get you there. It's not brain surgery, but it's not easy. It requires hard work, focus and rigorous implementation. Strategy is a carefully managed moving feast, not something that you do once and forget about. By having the right strategy and evolving it as your business grows you have the right to speak to investors, attract real talent and invest in the areas that need it. The end result of all this? Certainty.
But do you know exactly what shape your business is in order to tackle the problems ahead? Having looked around the market place we found that there was no easily accessible way to have a quick health-check. So rather than complain we developed our own. It's called the Certainty Score, and it's something that any business can use completely free and with no strings attached.
It's a quick yes/no test that gives you a score based around the six core principles of business strategy (don't worry none of your trade secrets will be asked for or any of the data shared). It's an instant picture of the strengths and weaknesses of your business. You will also get a free personalised report explaining the principles of strategy and some friendly advice on how to improve your scores.
In the name of openness, the score is not a golden ticket to certainty, there is a lot more to do, but it's a foundation on which to grow your business. If you are interested I also can show you how we can help you to improve with regard to the key areas of Marketing, Sales, Operations, Finance and Talent.
We may be heading into the latter half of 2018, but it's never too late to make changes and bring much-needed certainty to your business. So feel free to take the test. It could be the best five minutes you've spent all day.
Take your Certainty Scorecard test!

Dixie Bohemia
A French Quarter Circle in the 1920s
Reed, John Shelton
In the years following World War I, the New Orleans French Quarter attracted artists and writers with its low rents, faded charm, and colorful street life. By the 1920s Jackson Square had become the center of a vibrant if short-lived bohemia. A young William Faulkner and his roommate William Spratling, an artist who taught at Tulane University, resided among the "artful and crafty ones of the French Quarter." In Dixie Bohemia John Shelton Reed introduces Faulkner's circle of friends-ranging from the distinguished Sherwood Anderson to a gender-bending Mardi Gras costume designer-and brings to leaf.

Even though now fully in support of moves to independence for all the dependencies, I did not feel on balance that we had that much to be ashamed of in our recent colonial history - certainly not when compared with the Belgians, Portuguese, French or Germans.

es una serie de manga escrita e ilustrada por Adachitoka. Comenzó su publicación en la revista Gekkan Shōnen Magazine de la editorial Kōdansha en 2011. Hasta la fecha, el manga ha sido recopilado en un total de veinticuatro volúmenes. Su adaptación a serie de anime por el estudio Bones fue anunciada en junio de 2013 y fue estrenada el 5 de enero de 2014, contando con doce episodios. Una segunda temporada, titulada Noragami Aragoto, comenzó a transmitirse el 2 de octubre de 2015 y finalizó el 25 de diciembre de ese mismo año, con trece episodios emitidos.

Sinopsis
Yato es un dios menor que sueña con tener una gran cantidad de seguidores que lo adoren y recen plegarias por él. Desafortunadamente, su sueño está lejos de hacerse realidad, debido a que no tiene ni siquiera un solo santuario dedicado a su persona. Para empeorar las cosas, la única socia que tenía para ayudar a resolver los problemas de la gente acaba de renunciar. Su divina suerte sólo parece cambiar cuando conoce a Hiyori Iki, una estudiante de secundaria. Tras verse involucrada en un accidente, Hiyori se convierte en una han'yō. Involucrada en un lío bastante grande, la joven decide quedarse con Yato hasta que consiga recuperar su antiguo estado como humana. Junto a Hiyori y su nuevo shinki (tesoro sagrado o regalía) Yukine, Yato hará todo lo posible para ganar fama, reconocimiento y sólo tal vez, un santuario dedicado a él.

Terminología

Un shinki o regalía es un arma divina poseída por los dioses. Son antiguos humanos que murieron en contra de su voluntad (no mediante el suicidio). Cada shinki puede cambiar de forma en un arma única cuando el dios al que sirve le llama por su nombre de shinki. Por lo general cada dios otorga al shinki un nombre propio, como prueba de que el dios quiere un tipo específico de shinki y también para mostrar el vínculo familiar existente entre el dios y el shinki (como en el caso de Bishamonten). La forma del arma cambiará a otra mejor, llamada , cuando el shinki haya arriesgado su nombre para proteger a su dios.

Los ayakashi, llamados también fantasmas, son criaturas que provienen de la Orilla Lejana, pero les gusta influenciar a humanos, alimentándose de la oscuridad de la gente y corrompiendo sus corazones. Pueden ser expulsados y aniquilados por los dioses y sus shinkis. En condiciones normales, los humanos no pueden verlos. También es bueno agregar que pueden poseer almas limpias, puras que están perdidas sobre el mundo.

Personajes

Principales

Voz por: Hiroshi Kamiya
Yato (Yaboku) es un dios de la calamidad poco conocido que sueña con tener fama y su propio santuario. Aunque en el pasado tenía una pésima reputación, siendo llamado , actualmente hace trabajos de todo tipo para darse a conocer. Se hace llamar también  y a menudo pone su propio número de celular en varios lugares públicos al igual que en sitios de internet, por si alguien necesita de su ayuda. Por lo general, cobra sólo 5 yenes (5 centavos), suma que los japoneses suelen dar al rezar en un santuario. Se ofende cuando alguien menciona que nadie lo conoce o no ha oído hablar de él. Cuando su tesoro divino renuncia, queda totalmente desarmado hasta que conoce a Hiyori y Yukine, su nuevo shinki. Su verdadero nombre es 'Yaboku', el cual le fue dado por su padre, pero no lo usa debido a que no quiere tener relación alguna con él ni con su pasado. Yato dejó de ser un dios de la calamidad porque no le gustaba ser violento, así que los humanos no suelen percatarse de su existencia. Teme ser olvidado, por lo que aprecia la existencia de Hiyori, quien es la única que lo recuerda. Desde que acepta el encargo de Hiyori de devolverla a la normalidad, la chica se involucra cada vez más en los asuntos de Yato y Yukine, y llega a salvarlos a ambos de las acciones del propio Yukine.

Voz por: Maaya Uchida
Hiyori es una estudiante de quince años de tercer año de secundaria, proveniente de una buena familia. Es un poco ingenua y confía mucho en las personas. Salva a Yato de ser arrollado por un camión, pero al hacerlo se convierte en un han'yō o semi-fantasma, alguien atrapado entre el mundo humano y el más allá, haciendo que su alma se libere de su cuerpo de manera inconsciente. Su padre es médico y es el director de un hospital. Hiyori idolatra a la estrella de lucha libre Tono, hasta incluso copia sus movimientos para defenderse. La "cola" en su espalda, no es en realidad una cola, más bien es un conector entre su alma y su cuerpo, y si llegara a cortarse, Hiyori moriría. Tiene un hermano que es mucho mayor que ella, llamado Masaomi, aunque al conocer a Yato para pedirle ayuda se hace llamar Kaii Sera.

Voz por: Yūki Kaji
Es el shinki de Yato. Su nombre es Yuki, formalmente Yukine, como tesoro divino, Setsu, y es convocado como Shinki por Yato a través de la palabra 'Sekki'. Murió joven, por lo que echa de menos su vida normal como estudiante de secundaria. Actúa como un adolescente rebelde, e incluso roba dinero a la gente con la excusa de que al estar muerto no hay ningún problema. Cada vez que roba o peca de cualquier forma, Yato sufre daños. Aunque Yato es su amo, Yukine no muestra respeto por él. Tras ser "salvado" por Hiyori, se vuelve más obediente a ambos, dejando ver una personalidad mucho más dedicada, decidida, emprendedora e, incluso, madura. Es solo un año más joven que Hiyori. Su forma como Shinki es de una katana. En el manga tras sacrificarse para salvar a Yato, cambia su forma a la de espadas duales, convirtiéndose en un Recipiente Hafuri.

Deidades

Voz por: Tōru Ōkawa
Es el dios del aprendizaje. Tiene varios shinki, todos mujeres (incluyendo al antiguo shinki de Yato) y tiene su propio santuario, motivo que causa mucha envidia a Yato.

Voz por: Aki Toyosaki
Se hace llamar Ebisu, pero es en realidad una . Es una gran amiga de Yato y dice ser su novia.

Voz por: Miyuki Sawashiro
Es la diosa de la guerra más fuerte. Tiene muchos shinki, dado que es incapaz de abandonar espíritus atacados por ayakashi, y termina formado un grupo liderado por ella. Siente un gran odio hacia Yato, ya que en el pasado mató a muchos de sus shinki, aunque en la segunda ova admite que no fue la culpa de Yato.

Voz por: Takahiro Sakurai
Rabō es un personaje enigmático que aparece únicamente en el anime. Suele aparecer conversando con Nora y es capaz de controlar ayakashis. Es un Dios de la Calamidad, similar a Yato, y trabajó con él en el pasado. Odia ver lo pacífico que se ha convertido y está decidido a traer de vuelta al antiguo Yato. Si alguien se lo ha pedido, no le importa en absoluto matar humanos, shinki, dioses o ayakashi.

Shinki

Voz por: Asami Imai
Fue la shinki de Yato, hasta que renunció y lo dejó porque no era capaz de aguantarlo. Actualmente es una de los shinki de Tenjin. A pesar de su dura actitud hacia Yato, parece respetarlo y preocuparse por él en cierto grado. Un ejemplo es cuando se ofrece voluntariamente para ser parte de la ablución necesaria para salvar la vida de Yato a pesar del considerable riesgo que eso implica. Cuando todavía era shinki de Yato recibía el nombre de .

Voz por: Jun Fukuyama
Es uno de los shinki de Bishamonten, y aquel en quien más confía. Su nombre como shinki es . Es capaz de seguir el rastro de sus enemigos y guiar a otros shinki en combate. Este a su vez ha sido el que rogo al Dios Yato aniquilar a las regalías impuras que enfermaban a Veena (Bishamonten)

Voz por: Daisuke Ono
Es el shinki de Kofuku. Es algo sobreprotector y se muestra receloso con los que se acercan demasiado a su diosa. Su nombre como shinki es .

Voz por: Rie Kugimiya
Es la antigua shinki de Yato. "Nora", que significa "extraviado" o "errante" (aunque también puede ser una abreviatura de la palabra Noraneko (野良猫), que significa "gato callejero"), es como los dioses llaman a cualquier shinki que tiene muchos amos y nombres. Debido a esto, tienen una mala reputación, y suelen sufrir prejuicios por los dioses, que sin embargo los usan para aquellas tareas en las que no quieren usar a sus propios shinki. Yato llamó a esta Nora en particular , siendo su nombre shinki , y ella todavía se ofrece para que Yato la use, aunque él se resiste.

DONALD TRUMP SAYS, 'US IS DOING VERY WELL AGAINST COVID-19, INDIA IS HAVING TREMENDOUS PROBLEM'.
President Donald Trump said that compared to big countries, the US is doing "very well" against the Covid-19 global epidemic while India is facing a "tremendous problem" in fighting the disease and China is also seeing a "tremendous spurt" in infection cases.
After 52,050 cases were reported in India in a day, the number of Kovid-19 patients in the country went up to 18, 55745. China on Tuesday reported 36 new cases of infection in the country, which were lower than the 43 cases a day earlier. For the first time in three months on 29th July in the country, more than 100 cases of Kovid-19 were reported, after which there was a fear of the second round of infection. "I think we're doing very well," Trump told reporters at the press briefing here on Monday. I think, we have done as well as any nation. If you really see what is going on, especially in the face of these new cases and the countries which were being talked about, they have controlled it. Compared to larger countries, the U.S. is doing very well in the fight against the corona virus, he said.
"Don't forget that we are much bigger than many countries other than India and China," he said in response to a question. Cases of large-scale infections in China are on the rise. There is a tremendous problem in India. There are problems in other countries. "And I have noticed all these evening reports," Trump said. In any news, I don't read about other countries. You see how large cases are increasing in other countries, in countries that thought it would have ended, as we thought we had recovered from it in Florida and suddenly returned again. The infection has definitely returned. "
The US is the worst affected country by this global epidemic with more than 47 lakh cases of infection and more than 1, 55000 people have died of the disease. Trump said the US has so far investigated the corona infection of more than six million people. "No other country is even close to it," the president said. We have investigated six crores people — in many cases, that is, about 50 per cent of the cases have been quickly investigated. That is, the investigation in five to 15-20 minutes, where you get the results immediately. Nobody has such a check kit. And I think we are doing much better. (Agency)
