I received a little bag of orange glitter (among a number of other goodies) from the wonderful and generous folks over at the Fiskateers blog for doing the orange slice tutorial a couple of months ago and have been wanting to do something with it ever since. I love glitter. In fact, I love glitter so much I included it my MFA thesis project. Seriously. But I've been having the hardest time coming up with a project, partly due to lack of time, but mostly due to lack of ideas. I thought about making cards or stationery of some sort, as I almost always initially do, but opted for this probably mostly pointless little gift box instead.
I needed a break from design work I was doing for my other shop and decided to experiment. I applied glue to the bottom and sides of the inside of the box (like greasing a cake pan) and poured the glitter in, coating every nook and cranny and dumping the excess out. It seems like an inside-out box to me so I liked the idea of putting green felt on the top (like how West Elm stores grow grass on their rooftops) and then trimmed the lid with some turquoise Easter ribbon I picked up at Michael's recently.
I'm not sure what you'd put in this little box. I'd hesitate to put anything edible in it. Maybe marbles, if your kid's into that kind of thing. Or quarters. I know some families have the whole money in the egg tradition. Or, as I write in the listing, maybe the orange glitter is enough?
Fan, that is. Just in time for Valentine's Day (you'd think I might have come up with a few projects for v-day but, no...), I've gone and created a Facebook fan page for the Makery. Yep, another outlet for obsessing over shop stats of one kind or another. I'm hoping having the page will motivate me to resume the project on a more regular basis. And maybe I'll think up some sort of FB-fans-only promotion at some point. We'll see how it works out.
Wow, for a post that began with the simple aim of a little shameless self-promotion, that got a little deep. Time to stop writing and start making stuff!


I am always attracted to shiny fabric on the roll, but like it less on the body. In reflecting light it makes everyone look a little bigger. A popular UK TV series set in Northern Ireland – The Fall – has Gillian Anderson wearing a lot of satin blouses so I expect we will see more of them over here very soon. I know I am tempted.
Thanks, Kate. I'll keep an eye out for this trend!


What is the Hidden Passion Number?
Your hidden passion numbers give insight into your greatest natural talents, strengths and motivations. They are strengths that are readily available to you, that you can easily develop and use throughout your life.
The primary trait is the number that appears the most often, however secondary traits can also be quite strong. So for instance if you had 5 5's and 4 1's then the five would be the Hidden Passion number for you, but 1 would be a close second. You would likely embody many of those talents and traits as well.
Your hidden passion number is found by using your full birth name. Convert all the letters to numbers. The number that occurs the most frequently is your hidden passion number.
Hidden Passion Number 1: This person is driven by a strong individualism and need to stand out in the crowd and get noticed. Ambitious and motivated those with this hidden passion number are natural leaders.
Hidden Passion Number 2: Two people are natural peace makers and negotiators who strive to create harmony in the family, workplace, and wherever they may go. People naturally gravitate to you because they feel a strong innate sense of trust. You are patient and persistent. Two people are naturally inclined towards music and the arts.
Hidden Passion Number 3: The 3 person is a natural born entertainer who is very social. You have a natural charm with is alluring to others. 3 people are naturally gifted creatively and are often multi-talented in various forms of art, music, writing etc.
Hidden Passion Number 4: 4 people are extremely diligent, determined hard workers and for this reason they are capable of building great successes from the ground up. Practical, disciplined, and seen as a great provider or support system to others. You are "the rock" of your family/group. 4 people are very organized and efficient and and need a sense of order in their lives.
Hidden Passion Number 5: Five is the number of those who love adventure and new experiences. People with this number love to indulge the senses and are natural communicators. Many are drawn to writing and other forms of communication. People with this number can be prone to being a bit too impulsive at times and need to work to cultivate self-discipline. Five people thrive on change in life and often struggle when the feel they have to "choose one" path.
Hidden Passion Number 6: Six people have a natural call to service and are often healers, counselors, teachers, etc. Responsible and self-sacrificing six people have an inner need to be recognized and valued by others in order to feel a strong sense of self-worth.
Hidden Passion Number 7: Seven people are naturally intuitive and highly intelligent. They are the thinkers who seek the deeper meanings behind experience and are often drawn to philosophy, metaphysics, psychology and any area that explores the subconscious or hidden truths. Seven people are often sought out for their insight and keen understanding.
Hidden Passion Number 8: Eight people are natural salesmen and business people. They have an innate drive that pushes them to accomplish great things. The right blend of vision and ambition, people with an 8 passion are driven by material success and the need to compete with themselves and others. No other number is as energetic and motivated by winning/reaching goals.
Hidden Passion Number 9: 9 people are visionaries with a deep sense of humanitarianism. They have lofty ideals and strive to make their communities and even the world a better place. Highly emotional and idealistic, it can be difficult for 9's to bring their ideas down to earth in a more practical way. 9's see the future and have great vision and need to surround themselves with those who can help them actually manifest these goals/dreams.


Last Week was one of the busiest weeks of the year for the Texas Chiropractic Association, with activity in three different time zones.
It started in Washington, DC, with TCA President Dr. Max Vige leading a small contingent of Texans to the National Chiropractic Leadership Conference (NCLC). Team TCA met with national and state leaders from both the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA) to educate the rest of the country about the daily battles Texas chiropractors face in the Lone Star State, to increase awareness and to build our coalition. It's always inspiring to learn from other states how we can make chiropractic in Texas stronger.
At NCLC 2018, TCA Past President and ACA Legislative Co-Chair Dr. Dale White Jr., TCA Legislative Affairs Committee Chair Dr. Don White and others met with Congressional staff to secure sponsors for possible bills to 1) allow doctors of chiropractic to participate in the National Health Service Corps; 2) enact further steps to eliminate disparities in veterans' access to chiropractic care; 3) provide TRICARE beneficiaries with access to chiropractic; and 4) allow health care providers (including DCs) to travel with sports teams. Medicare reform also remains a top ACA priority. A big thank you to the doctors and students who took the time to participate in these important legislative visits on Capitol Hill.
Finally, Dr. Don White was recognized by ACA with the F. Dow Bates PAC Leadership Award for his active involvement in ACA's fundraising efforts. Dr. White continues to do the same for the TCA Political Action Committee (TCA PAC). Congratulations to Dr. White for your tireless dedication to the profession at the national and state levels!
Meanwhile, all eyes were on the Third Court of Appeals, which met in Austin to hear oral arguments in the appeal of the Texas Medical Association (TMA) vs. the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners (TBCE) and Texas Chiropractic Association (TCA) lawsuit. If you've listened to any of TCA's recent town hall meetings or are active on the Texas Chiropractic Association Facebook group, you should grasp the importance of this case; at stake are your right to diagnose and treat nerve-related conditions and the subluxation complex. It's the latest attempt by TMA to limit the scope of Texas chiropractors and the court's decision could change the profession as we know it.
TCA was well-represented by lead attorney Matt Wood of Weisbart Springer Hayes, LLP. Mr. Wood made forceful arguments on behalf of Texas chiropractors. A big thank you to TCA Legal Affairs Committee Chair Dr. Tom Hollingsworth, who put in countless hours of research to ensure TCA was well-prepared.
A decision from the Third Court of Appeals will come later this year, perhaps as early as this summer. In the meantime, we ask members to contribute to TCA's Chiropractic Development Initiative (CDI), which funds TCA's advocacy, legal defense and public relations efforts. Make a one-time donation or, better yet, get on monthly autodraft. Currently, only 10% of TCA's members contribute to CDI; we need more of you on board to have the resources to continue the fight. For past CDI contributors, thank you for your generosity!
Finally, the week concluded with a trip to Las Vegas for Parker Seminars Las Vegas 2018. The event was outstanding – elite speakers, great networking and lots of buzz in the exhibit hall. A job well-done to Parker President Dr. Bill Morgan and his team for putting on a first-class event! TCA was excited to be there to supporting one of our chiropractic schools.
Next up is TCA's Mid-Winter Conference coming up Friday through Sunday in Lubbock. We're back at the Overton Hotel & Conference Center, one of the finest venues in the Texas Panhandle. The speaker line-up, led by chiropractic advocate Dr. Dan Sullivan, is one of the deepest we've assembled in years. Online registration has officially closed, but please call the TCA office at (512) 477-9292. Consider registering your chiropractic assistant and team for CA/staff training with Phyllis Frase-Charrette; there are a few spots remaining. And don't miss Keith Pendleton's featured session on a recent law suit that could affect chiropractors, especially those involved in personal injury!
If you can't make the trip to Lubbock, please know that YOUR state association is working hard for you and your patients EVERY day!


What are the laws if my neighbour's bonfire is causing a nuisance?
Bonfire Night is an exciting time for many families, whether you're going to a spectacular fireworks display or staying in with sparklers and bonfires.
But make one small mistake and you could find yourself in a row with your neighbours, or worse.
Who is responsible if someone gets hit by a firework at a party? Are there restrictions on when you can have a bonfire? And what can you do if your neighbour's Bonfire Night party is keeping you up at night?
What can I do if I'm injured by a firework at a friend or family member's party?
The occupier of the land owes a duty to any visitor to ensure their safety whilst on the premises.
If you're buying fireworks for your party, you need to make sure they are bought from a licensed outlet. It also goes without saying to read the instructions carefully before use.
If someone is injured at your party, you may be held liable.
Can you burn anything on a bonfire?
No you cannot. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, it is an offence to burn any substance that will release harmful fumes causing pollution to the environment or harm to human health.
These could include plastic, rubber or painted items.
Who is responsible if someone gets hit by a firework at a party?
Can I stop my neighbour from having a bonfire?
It's unlikely that you'll be able to stop a neighbour from having a bonfire if it's only on the odd occasion and they are not burning anything hazardous.
However, if it's posing a clear risk then you can report it to the fire service.
What can I do if my neighbour is causing a nuisance?
If your neighbour's bonfire is affecting you, the first step would be to raise it with the neighbour to make them aware.
If this fails then you may be able to get a court order restricting the neighbour's ability to have a bonfire. But the occasional bonfire is unlikely to amount to a legal nuisance and legal advice should be sought when considering legal action against your neighbour.
If you neighbour is burning hazardous material you can report the neighbour to the environmental health team within your local authority.
What if their bonfire burns my fence?
If the fence was damaged because your neighbour failed to contain the fire and take appropriate steps to prevent the fire from escaping or getting out of control then your neighbour could be liable for the damage caused to the fence.
If it is your neighbour's fault then they should claim on their insurance but you cannot insist they do so.
However, when faced with a potential claim for damages the neighbour may choose to get their insurance company involved instead of dealing with it themselves.


Self-defense is not combat. Combat is not fitness training. Fitness training is not dueling. Dueling is not sparring. Sparring is not personal growth. Personal growth is not assault training.
Many martial artists in the comfort of the training hall can look at their martial art and believe that it is all of these things. Violence is conflict with risk of injury, right? So war and boxing and an intruder in your bedroom are all violence, right? So they're all the same thing, right? No.
I have to be clear in my own mind. I've been a martial artist for nearly twenty five years, and that's one thing. I spend most of my working days in close proximity with criminals, some violent, some mentally ill and that's a different thing. I also lead the tactical team for the corrections system and a tactical op is not the same at all. I have to be clear, because sometimes I am teaching a very old piece of another country's culture, much of the time I have to be prepared to survive an ambush and sometimes I have to take down the criminal quickly and with absolute control. These are very different things.
Friday is private lessons with a fascinating woman. She has studied martial arts for many years and now she has asked me to teach her about violence. About surviving violence. About controlling it. The class is mental more than physical. Predation dynamics, awareness, presence and body language. Even the physical stuff is mental- explosive action, stealing initiative, contact-response, overwhelming the threat physically and mentally.
It dawned on me today when I pulled a knife during warm-ups that she was still fighting bodies and not minds. Through martial arts, she saw violence as a physical skill instead of a personal one. She was dealing with a problem (the knife) rather than a person (the threat).
So today was about the mind. About the mindset that I use when force is inevitable, becoming an implacable predator, a force of nature. I remembered being hit while in that mind and being offended that the prey had the temerity to fight... before rolling over him like he wasn't there, despite a weight difference of over a hundred pounds in his favor.
About the mindset of a soldier who must be a member of a team before he is an individual or he risks everything, including his teammates and the mission.
About the mindset necessary to recover in an ambush when you feel something break over the side of you head and don't know who or how many attacked you or why... and if you focus on the 'why' if you get stuck in the mindset where things need to make sense, you will freeze.
We all have a little niggling voice in the back of our heads that tries to tear us down. I told my student today what mine has said over the last 15 years and 300+ "Hazardous Incidents". That no matter how much skill or experience there will always be a little voice whispering that so far it's all been luck, just luck.

Stanford Medicine Master of Science in PA Studies
Creating Exceptional Clinical PAs and Future PA Leaders
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN PA STUDIES
The Stanford School of Medicine Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Program's mission is to educate and train compassionate and diverse PAs who can provide high-quality patient-centered care, who are dedicated to improving access to healthcare for underserved communities, and who are inspired to become leaders in healthcare.
Goal 1 Recruit diverse and highly qualified applicants who can successfully complete the rigorous Master of Science in PA Studies Program.
The Stanford School of Medicine's Master of Science in PA Studies program regards the diversity of an entering class as an important factor in serving the mission and goals of our program. We define diversity broadly, to include but not to be limited to early educational environment, socioeconomic status, culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and life and work experiences. We have succeeded in recruiting diverse and highly qualified students, as noted in the data below. Our first graduate students matriculated in 2017 and will graduate in 2020. All 27 students of the MSPA class of 2020 have successfully completed their first year of didactic courses.
Entering characteristics of the MSPA Class of 2020 and Class of 2021
Average age: 25.8±2.6 (range 21.8-35.3) years
Gender: 87% female
1st generation college student: 22%
State of origin: California 52%; 19 US states represented
Ethnicity: Hispanic: 15%
Race: White: 65%, Asian: 21%, Mixed: 13%, Black: 2%
GPA (mean): Overall: 3.66, Science: 3.60
GRE (% mean): Quantitative: 72.0, Verbal: 80.2, Analytic: 76.2
Experience Hours (mean hours): Clinical: 3,064; Research: 1474; Volunteer: 643
Goal 2 Educate PA students to provide patient-centered care as members of an interprofessional healthcare team.
MSPA students are introduced to the concept of patient-centered care and interprofessional health care teams early in their educational training through their PAs in Health Care I and Practice of Medicine (POM) courses. PAs in Health Care I introduces the concept of patient-centered care, including collaboration, coordination, and care access, with the value placed on patients and their family preferences and taking into account cultural traditions and socioeconomic conditions. An emphasis is placed on the importance of patients and their families being part of the care team and an integral part of decision making. The introductory concepts of patient-centered care are expanded upon in the POM course through an extensive program of simulated medical encounters with patients and families focusing on providing patient-centered care.
Within the POM course, MSPA students undergo core skills training in medical interviewing and the physical examination alongside Stanford MD students, providing both groups of students an opportunity to understand each other's role within the healthcare team. In addition, during the POM curriculum, students learn about the roles of other members of the healthcare team, including nurses, nutritionists, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists. Students also spend time in the healthcare setting, learning from the aforementioned clinicians to better understand the importance of the healthcare team. The specific role that PAs play within healthcare is expanded upon throughout the didactic and clinical curriculum.
Goal 3: Prepare graduates to practice in any area of medicine.
The MSPA program provides students with a clinically practicing Stanford PA as a mentor (E4C-PA) upon matriculation to the program. The E4C-PA provides numerous opportunities for shadowing and for networking with other clinical PAs at Stanford. Through shadowing and participation in medical community interest groups, students have many opportunities to explore various disciplines of medicine. Beyond their required clerkships, our students are provided with three elective clerkship opportunities to train in any field of medicine at Stanford that is of interest. Our curriculum prepares graduates to manage acute, chronic, preventative, and emergent encounters in various health care settings. Additionally, it offers advanced concepts in sub-specialty areas along with training in clinical and procedural skills required for sub-specialty practice.
Goal 4: Deploy graduates to underserved healthcare communities.
Additional information on this goal is not yet available, given that the first Stanford School of Medicine Master of Science in PA Studies class will graduate in 2020. However, the Stanford/Foothill College Primary Care Associate Program (PCAP) had long-standing success in accomplishing this goal, an achievement which we hope to continue. In 2017, a survey was sent to more than 1,400 graduates of PCAP, 990 of whom responded. Of those, 58% were practicing in primary care specialties (Family Medicine, General Internal Medicine, OB/GYN and Pediatrics, and undifferentiated primary care). An additional 17% were practicing in Emergency Medicine and were providing primary care services in those settings. More than half (62%) were providing this care in an area of unmet need.
Goal 5: Deploy graduates to the Stanford healthcare community.
Additional information on this goal is not yet available, given that the first Stanford School of Medicine Master of Science in PA Studies class will graduate in 2020. However, the Stanford/Foothill College Primary Care Associate Program (PCAP) deployed 10% of their most recent graduates into the Stanford Health Care system. Our hope is to grow this pipeline over time.
Goal 6: Develop future PA leaders.
During their education in the MSPA program, our students explore and take courses within an area of scholarly concentration, such as community health, medical education, health services and policy research, clinical research, or healthcare administration, to provide them the tools and skills they will need to become healthcare leaders. Upon graduation of the first cohort in 2020, the MSPA program will begin to track the leadership opportunities of our graduates to ensure that we are meeting our goal of developing not only exeptional clinical PAs, but PAs who are leaders in healthcare.

Obesity is a modern disease, which means that when men lived in caves they easily maintained a normal weight. This led him to the gastroenterologist Walter Voegtlin to wonder whether it was not possible to retrofit the diet of those men to men of today. Thus the paleo diet was born.
The paleo diet, also known as "diet of the Stone Age", it based on consuming foods that were available in the Paleolithic era among which we include meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, nuts and roots. Necessarily, in this diet the processed foods, dairy, salt and sugars are avoided.
Who have carried out the paleo diet say it is really effective. So if you're looking to lose weight, read on to find out all about this modern (but ancient) nutritional plan.
The main objective of the paleo diet, along with diet, is stay healthy so the consumption of those related to the risk of food prevents diseases.
The base of the paleo diet are vegetables. Besides giving us feeling of satiety that prevents us snacking, vegetables provide us with a variety of vitamins and minerals to stay healthy. Also, their high fiber content helps regulate bowel movements and eliminate toxins.
The meat is essential to add the protein portion of the diet. This will give you energy so you can move around during the day, while putting to work hard your metabolism. However, it is necessary to control the portion. It is always better a dish with a lot of vegetables that give you satiety and with a small portion of meat that grant you the protein.
Fish is very important because it contains Omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy polyunsaturated fats also provide energy to our body and are used to combat other diseases, mainly cardiovascular diseases. In addition, it is essential for weight loss because it speeds up the metabolic process and is a natural antioxidant.
There are many myths around the egg and in many diets tend to avoid it. However, the egg is a great ally for weight loss because it provides satiety instantly, while it gives us a lot of essential nutrients for a healthy body. As always, you must control the amount you eat because anything in excess is good. Note that it is always better to eat the white of the egg because it contains fewer calories.
As is well known, the fruits are essential in any diet. The benefits they granted to our health are manifold: they provide satiety, speed up metabolism, are natural tonics, provide vitamins and minerals, and so on. In this sense, you can eat fruit whenever you feel hungry.
Soft drinks are extremely harmful because, in addition of giving us a lot of calories without giving us nutrients, they increase the risk of osteoporosis, develop cavities in our molars and can cause gastritis. Try eliminating them from your diet.
Sugar has a lot of calories (400 calories per 100 grams), so it becomes an enemy if you're looking to lose weight. Also it makes us more prone to cardiovascular diseases, causes enzymatic functions down their capacity and can cause cataracts or blindness.
The word "fat" is already warning you that its consumption will contribute to an increase of the same in your own adipose tissue. But in addition, saturated fats cause a lot of diseases like diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and hypertension.
It is not a novelty that processed foods are extremely hazardous to our health. First and foremost because they are artificially altered with chemicals which enter to our body and alter it. But also companies that create these products use various techniques to making these foods more addictive and so we consume them more. As a result, large companies have more money in their pockets and we have more fat in our abdomen.
The paleo diet is really miraculous, not only to lose weight but also for a healthy body. Begin to follow it and you will notice its benefits quickly.

Looking back with Malcolm Tucker – 1903
RETURN TO LOOKING BACK WITH MALCOLM TUCKER MAIN PAGE
How ever far you look back you find that things don't change that much. In 1903 Mr H.S. Smith complained that the footpaths and roads in and adjoining Timsbury were in a bad state of repair and were positively dangerous to use. He said that much of the repairing had been done in such an unworkmanlike manner that it amounted to a waste of time and money.
William Yorke-Fausset Rector 1903-10
Presentations were made to Rev. L.T. Rendall who resigned as Timsbury rector after 20 years in the post. The gifts consisted of a silver tea and coffee service, an armchair, a revolving bookcase and a silver inkstand. The presentations were made by Mr S.S.P. Sambourne on behalf of the parishioners and he spoke of the great esteem in which the rector was held. His replacement was Rev. Yorke-Fausset who was inducted to the living in November 1903. The usual ceremony was carried out of unlocking the door and tolling the bell and prayers were said at the font, lectern and pulpit. The address was given by Archdeacon Bothamley of Bath.
An important Miners' Conference took place in Bath and a number of the representatives came out to the Somerset coalfield to address a series of mass meetings. One such gathering was held at the Temperance Hall where the speakers were W.E. Harvey from Derbyshire and J.G. Hancock of Nottinghamshire. The Labour Party was still in its infancy and a resolution was passed that the Somerset miners should support a move to put more Labour Party candidates forward for the next General Election. They believed that the only way to secure proper legislation was for the workers to send men of their own class to represent them in Parliament.
An inquest was held at the Upper Conygre Mining office of Samborne, Smith and Co.into the death underground of 53 year old Timsbury miner Robert Lewis who left a widow and 7 children. He had been killed when a stone weighing about 8 tons had come down on top of him. The jury recorded a verdict of accidental death.
The Temperance Movement was going strong in 1903 and the Star of Hope Lodge which met at the Temperance Hall received a visit from the Ark of Safety Lodge of Carlingcott. There was a large number present and at the close of the meeting a resolution was passed declaring its strong opposition to the proposals of Mr Butcher's License Compensation Bill.
Mr. D. Hamilton of The Laurels announced his resignation as Medical Officer and Vaccinator for the Timsbury district. He said that Dr. Morgan who had previously worked as Medical Officer at Newport and Long Ashton had bought his private practice and would apply for the appointment which he fully backed. It was later ratified by the Clutton Board of Guardians.
The Timsbury Liberal Association held a successful concert before a large audience at the Temperance Hall. The entertainment was provided by a group of artistes from Bristol and acts included pianoforte duets, songs, recitations, violin solos and comedy. A concert was also given in the National Schoolroom by the Timsbury Choral Society. The principal item was a rendering of Sir W. Sterndale Bennett's "May Queen" which it was said reflected great credit on the conductor Mr. D.C. Wilson-Ewer of Midsomer Norton.
Timsbury Athletic (known as Timsbury Ramblers at the time) 1903-4
Many of us look on league cricket as a fairly recent innovation and yet in 1903 Timsbury became members of the Bath and District Cricket League. Timsbury were in the West section alongside Keynsham, Christ Church, Oldfield Park and Association Seconds. On the football front Timsbury Athletic finished fourth in the North Somerset League behind champions Clandown, Welton Rovers and Paulton Rovers. Each member of the winning Clandown team received a medal worth four shillings and sixpence, a sizeable reward one would imagine in 1903.
Finally crime was clearly rife 117 years ago. A Farmborough baker was fined seven shillings and sixpence with five shillings costs for allowing his servant to deliver bread without scales. The defendant explained that the lad had gone out and had forgotten to take the scales which were still in the bakehouse. Meanwhile two youths were caught by P.C. Hathway letting off fireworks upon the highway at Timsbury. They were given the option of a seven shillings and sixpence fine or four days imprisonment.


This page addresses some of the most common questions we are asked about the HelpOut service. If you have any general queries about HelpOut, please let us know via our Contact Us page, and we will get back to you ASAP.
Q: Why aren't there many Help Wanted Listings?
A: HelpOut had hundreds of listings within a few days of it's launch (thanks everyone for the support). At the moment there are primarily offers of Help and relatively few Help Wanted listings - this is partly because many people who will need help don't (yet) have power/internet back on, or are busy dealing wth the cleanup, and have not yet had a chance toi think about looking online for help.
Also, the Help Wanted listings that we do get, tend to get snapped up, resolved, and taken off the site very quickly, becauise there are just so many people wanting to help. If you know someone who could do with a helping hand, but is not able, or too busy to add their own listing, you may like to consider creating a Help Wanted listing on their behalf.
Q: How much does it cost to create a HelpOut listing?
A: HelpOut is a completely FREE service. There is no charge at any time for creating a HelpOut or HelpOut Wanted listing.
Q: What types of things can be offered and requested as a HelpOut?
A: There are many things that can be offered. For example : looking after a pet, or the loan of a car, or even something as simple as being invited over for a home-cooked meal. The list is endless really and includes almost anything you are willing to offer that could help someone in need. For inspiration of HelpOuts to offer, and ideas for requests, please see the HelpOut Suggestions page.
Q: Does HelpOut accept donations of goods or items?
A: HelpOut is a serviice that allows people to list whatever items or services they are willing to offer, However we are unable to accept any donations of items. The logistics associated with receiving and distributing items are huge, and usually the costs involved prevent this from being worthwhile. However, if you live in or near affected areas, or are able to manage the distrbution of goods or items yourself, then by all means list them with HelpOut.
Q: Are SpaceOut or HelpOut a charity or non-profit organisation?
A: SpaceOut is a 100% Australian founded, owned and run online classified service, specialising in private self storage. SpaceOut wanted to help the victims of the recent natural disasters in Australia in a more far-reaching and unique way, so they created HelpOut. HelpOut is an extension of SpaceOut's service, encouraging and allowing anyone to register online an offer of support to those in need, as well as for the victims to request support and help as needed. SpaceOut does not request, handle, accept or distribute money donations or funds of any kind.

Q: Which proxy to use in sencha touch 2 when i have restful api I am trying to make a sencha touch 2 mobile app. I have a restful api in server and i want to consume that in my mobile app. Which sencha proxy should i use (rest, ajax, jsonp)? Rest and ajax has issue with cross-site domain issue, so jsonp can be the solution. But how can i send jsonp request to rest api if i have parameters?

A: You can use REST proxy if your services truly follows REST standards because that way proxy can provide you out-of-the-box functionality to operate on models.
Regarding cross-domain issues, please note that the way app behaves in desktop browser is different from its behaviour when it runs in phone so you are not forced to use JSONP if you don't want, AJAX can also work for you. Its good if you can use JSONP but please keep in mind its limitations of having no support for HTTP headers and other useful methods like POST, PUT & DELETE.
Please go through this for more information : How to use json proxy to access remote services during development

Win Pete's Dragon Dubai Premiere Tickets
Walt Disney Studios, Italia Films UAE and B-Change invite you to the Pete's Dragon Dubai premiere.
Pete's Dragon Synopsis
A reimagining of Disney's cherished family film, "Pete's Dragon" is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who just so happens to be a dragon. "Pete's Dragon" stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Oakes Fegley , Wes Bentley , Karl Urban, Oona Laurence and Oscar® winner Robert Redford.
For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year- old with no family and no home who claims to live inthe woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete's descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham's stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year- old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.
Bryce Dallas Howard on Pete's Dragon
"I came to NZ for the first time when I was 6 years old, ever since then I have always wanted to come back. And it was almost as exciting coming to New Zealand as it was getting to do Pete's Dragon. When I heard, "Do you want to do Pete's Dragon?" It was like, "Yes, where is it shooting?" "New Zealand." Oh my gosh! I have been thrilled getting to come back here."
Watch the Pete's Dragon which opens in UAE theaters on September 8, 2016.

Every so often my wife and I like nothing better than watching something on the TV that we can sit down and not have to think too hard about. One such show is Don't Tell the Bride.
For those that don't know, this is a show where the groom to be has to arrange the whole day and has three weeks to do it and in exchange they receives £14,000.
A wedding is apparently one of the most important days of a woman's life and one that she has probably dreamt about ever since she was a little girl, so giving this responsibility to the groom is utter madness.
So why would a bride to be agree to go on a show that usually ends with a wedding that is completely different to the one that she would arrange if she was in full control. Is it to be on TV or is it that they genuinely cannot afford to pay for their own wedding.
I know that it is a show made purely for entertainment purposes but the series has been on for some years now, 12 series to be exact and has followed the same format, so there is no excuse for the bride to expect the fairy tale. Whether it's Zombie themes, getting married in a cave or on the sea. There seems no limits to what these grooms to be can imagine.
So why am I posting about Don't Tell the Bride?
I often find myself shouting at the TV much to my wife's frustration. The thing is £14,000 is a lot of money and to arrange a wedding where at the end of the show they have to make their marriage official at a registry office seems somewhat wasteful of £14,000.
This is not what gets to me about this show. If the couples have agreed to go on the show because of genuine affordability why the hell do they driving fancy cars, more than likely purchased on finance? A typical fiance deal could cost £7,000 over a year before you even consider fuel and insurance costs, a huge chunk towards a wedding.
I'll still watch it with my wife, it is on series record so it would be rude not to.
I will of course continue to frustrate her every time I see the bride to be driving off in an expensive car, leaving her groom to be make a balls up of one of the most important days of her life.

Human interactions are complex. That's why most consumers prefer to interact with humans for complex interactions. Now, through artificial intelligence it's possible to handle more complex issues the way a human would. Today we announced that 7 AIVA is now powered with emotional intelligence, making it the first virtual agent with the ability to detect human emotion during interactions. This enables the chatbot to acknowledge the customer's frustration and respond empathetically.
Using advanced AI techniques to detect emotion, 7 AIVA can not only understand how customers feel, but also take logical actions the way your best human agents would. This ensures that customers feel heard, while freeing up agents. This new capability is part of the 7.ai Summer 2018 Release that furthers the company's vision of humans and chatbots working side-by-side as the live agent can now be aware of the customer emotion and handle the interaction accordingly.
Awarded the highest rating in the 2018 edition of Opus Research's Decision Makers' Guide to Enterprise Intelligent Assistants report. 7 AIVA enables a new level of self-service because the bot can interpret complex layers of human speech and the different possible meanings of phrases to detect positive or negative emotion. 7 AIVA can also analyze the intensity of those emotions and react accordingly before handing over to a human agent as needed. This results in a better overall experience as well as high customer satisfaction scores.
As human-chatbot interactions continue to grow and become more and more complex, capabilities like emotion detection will go a long way in offering a truly interactive customer engagement solution, resulting in a memorable experience.
Easier Conversational Model Design – In an industry first, 7 AIVA features an improved modeling workbench that exposes the AI behind the solution to end users offering them self-serve options. The new graphical user interface enables non-data scientists and business analysts to easily build and test conversation models. The technical capabilities also incorporate machine learning to proactively suggest improvements to intent models, meaning better understanding of what the consumer is trying to do. These intent models can be implemented quickly to anticipate and improve the customer experience and Net Promoter Score (NPS).
New Visualization Capabilities – 7 Customer Journey Analytics now features new visualization capabilities that enable analysts to view dominant customer behavioral paths more interactively, making it easier to connect the dots between data and insights. The Single Customer Journey Viewer provides a consolidated view of customer engagement, including interactions across channels and transactions across systems, for improved customer service and complaint resolution. And with the unstructured data player, analysts can also get to root cause quicker by listening to calls and reading chat transcripts from within the workspace.

Joseph J. Miles
Joseph John Miles - "Joe" - lived a full life. He was born in Weehawken, New Jersey on July 31, 1931, to the late Francis and Anna Baecker Miles. Joe passed away on October 13, 2020, at the age of 89. May he Rest In Peace. The beloved husband of the late Cora Lanphear Miles. Loving father of Dr. Joseph Shawn Miles "Shawn", and David Francis Miles (fiancé Elizabeth Anne Flynn). Cherished grandfather of Katherine Olivia Miles, Elizabeth Rose Miles, Liam Joseph Miles, Nicholas Shawn Miles, and Lucas Alexander Miles. Joe is also survived by his niece Margaret Ann Gorman Hill and nephews Patrick and Christopher Gorman. He is predeceased by his sister, Anne Veronica Miles Gorman, and brother, Fr. Cassian "Francis" Miles. Following in the footsteps of his older brother Francis, as a young man he was ordained a Catholic Priest. He later became a Professor of Theology at St. Bonaventure University, where he met Sonia Rosemarie Anderson. They married five years later, and soon had two sons, Shawn and David. Joe was always driven by a desire to help people in need. He went on to work as an investigator for the Division of Veterans Affairs of the U.S. Department of Labor in New York, and later, in Atlanta, Georgia. He excelled at rooting out discrimination against War Veterans in the workplace, fighting for their rights and securing litigation when necessary, finding counseling for them when needed, and providing assistance in any way he could. The work was difficult both emotionally and spiritually, and it gave him much satisfaction. He was a talented visual artist who made excellent photographs and drawings. Reading, writing, and singing were big passions as well, and he amassed a collection of nearly one thousand movies. In the kitchen he created fantastic lasagna, formidable baked ziti, and a singular mac and cheese. All were eagerly consumed by his sons and their friends. An enthusiastic jogger who ran in many races, he loved to travel and was able to explore much of the United States. His favorite destination was Colorado, where he relished getting lost on back roads in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. An acknowledgement of the connection among all things fed his interest in Buddhism, where he found further philosophical ground. The writings of Thomas Merton had also been a great inspiration for him. The mountains touched a nerve. Joe found love again after moving to Georgia, where he met his second wife, Cora Lanphear. She was a talented artist herself. They purchased a home in Cumming, Georgia, and enjoyed their later years with travel and cooking and creating art, from painting to ceramics. They loved each other dearly and gave each other gifts of dinners and flowers and notes and letters without need of any occasion. Perhaps his greatest passion was simply spending time with his family, children and cherished Dalmatian, "Spot". He was involved in all aspects of his children's lives; a patient listener and wise counselor. Joe happily spent countless hours with them playing catch, playing chess, and playing make-believe. He somehow found the time to attend every soccer match, music recital, and award ceremony for his two children. On the sidelines, his was the loudest and most passionate voice cheering the team on to victory. A loving, kind, intelligent, and generous man - who will be very profoundly missed by any and all of the lives he touched. Relatives and friends are invited to pay their respects to Joe and his family at Givnish of Marlton, 398 East Main Street, on Saturday, October 24, from 10 am to 11 am. His funeral service will begin at 11am. Masks, social distancing, and crowd restrictions will be enforced at the funeral home and the cemetery. We ask that if you are not staying for the service, please pay your respects and exit the building to allow other guests to come through. Interment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery, 340 Ridge Road, North Arlington, NJ (private ceremony).

My life until this point has been an endless procession of traumatic events. From a childhood chronicled by the mishappenings of an addicted, suicidal mother through a fifteen year abusive relationship to recovery, relapse and homelessness, I have never lived in a stable, nurturing environment.
I started drinking and smoking at age twelve under the watchful eye of my mother. The theory was that I was going to do it anyway so her best move as a parental figure was to supervise the intake of substances that would one day destroy any hope of a joyful life. I never learned how to cope with stressful events, or established a structured lifestyle. We weren't allowed to discuss the deeper matters in life so my outlook on relationships lacked the substance necessary to choose my companions wisely.
I found myself living with an abusive, drug-dealing boyfriend at age sixteen. Our relationship lasted through fifteen years of pure torment. We started out as a house full of dysfunctional teenagers. As time went on I realized that the more I grew and matured, I was increasingly abused for rejecting the immature lifestyle I had unwittingly accepted as my fate. By the end of the relationship I was stripped of my identity, self-worth, and any glimmering clue of how to survive in the world beyond my living hell.
Fast forward through ten months of sobriety, relapse, homelessness, and a year long stay with a heroin addicted roommate, my father finally convinced me that I needed long-term care to help find a new strategy for living. My first stop was the hospital where I stayed for two weeks. For the first time in my life, the noisy mire of the Matrix was quieted to a level where I could perceive coherent thought.
Next stop was the sobering center. At this point I had nothing but the clothes on my back, an outfit I received from donations, and some art projects I created at the hospital. My roommates were kind enough give me clothes, underwear and socks. And to my utter relief, somebody donated a brand new pair of sneakers just my size. I was overjoyed to receive this donation because due to sketchy circumstances I entered the hospital with snow boots during the end of Spring.
The sobering center referred me to a thirty-day rehab. I spent the first two weeks of rehab in a mental fog. At the end of the second week I adjusted to my medication and became more focused and energetic. After months of not being able to hold a steady thought, I was finally able to channel my energy into my most cherished activity, writing. I wrote over twenty poems and journal entries, and read the entire New Testament and Psalms.
I stayed for two weeks at a respite house. While I enjoyed a greater sense of freedom, I was nervous about the next step in my recovery. I expected to receive help with examining the programs to decide which one was right for me. Rather I was told that I have two weeks to find somewhere to go, and I was on my own after that. Luckily, my friend was referred to a sober living house that advertised everything I desired for my recovery.
As soon as I entered the sober living house's office I felt at home. The staff was friendly and the office had a very zen feel to it. I was immediately offered water and a snack. During the intake I was referred to other services that have proven to be helpful with establishing a new life. I was given a cute bag full of toiletries and a teddy bear. The house where I am residing is immaculately kept, and the women are surprisingly easy to live with.
I've been at the sober living house for a week and I am excited about everything the program has to offer. We have lunch and learns, yoga, socials, 12 step meetings, and a staff that truly cares. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have the support I received along the way, and I hope to one day pay it forward to the next addict in need.

Q: How to add query criteria in @query Notation, Is that possible? repository
@Repository
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<SalutationMst, Long> {

    @Query("select id from SalutationMst where name=:name and code=:code and id=:id")
    Optional<Long> findByAny(String name,String code,Long id);

}

Is there is any way to add criteria from here by looking values in name,code,id. This repository is calling from controller.

A: Try this one
 @Query("select e.id from SalutationMst e where e.name=:name and e.code=:code and e.id=:id")
 Optional<Long> findByAny(@Param("name")String name,@Param("code")String code,@Param("id")Long id);

Another way:
 @Query("select e.id from SalutationMst e where e.name=?1 and e.code=?2 and e.id=?3")
 Optional<Long> findByAny(String name,String code,Long id);

No need to remove the params, just pass the 'Null' values
 select e.id from SalutationMst e where (e.name=?1 or ?1 is null) and e.code=?2 and e.id=?3

A: I would use a Specification in this case check this
You may dynamically form predicates here.
If that seems a little complex, You may use Query by Example check this
by default it will ignore null fields.

Deepak.eth Forced To Sell NFT Collection After FTX Crash
By Bazil
Deepak.eth, the founder of Chain Blockchain, is planning to sell the company's NFT collection after the recent FTX crash.
The blockchain infrastructure company was left with no other option as it tries to access liquidity with most of its funds trapped on FTX. The announcement has seen mixed reactions online.
With the NFT market feeling the impact of the bear market, some are ecstatic to get their hands on the elusive collection on the cheap. While others have shared messages of comfort with the founder.
According to a Twitter thread, Deepak.eth claims that the NFT collection will be sold to the highest bidder. Otherwise, it will be placed in a "fractional DAO." In the latter case, the company plans to sell 80% of the ownership.
The collection is quite impressive, boasting some high-ticket NFTs. There are a few characters from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), mutants, Tiffany Punks, and many others. Together, they would go for 8.000 ETH, or $10,112,000 as of the time of writing.
Chain Blockchain Liquidity Needs Mean NFT Collection Has To Be Sold
Deepak.eth reveals that despite his company cutting ties with Alameda in the summer, it continued to hold funds on FTX. He adds that recently they made a major deposit on the troubled exchange, which has complicated things. Now the funds are stuck, and they are yet to access them for withdrawal, which has forced them to tap into their NFTs for liquidity.
https://twitter.com/dt_chain/status/1590504461273026561?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
One tweet on the thread reads, "I will, however, start to access liquidity through my NFT holdings, with the most likely scenario being that I will be putting them into a fractional DAO, including Alien Punk 5822."
The liquidity issues at Chain Blockchain are one of the many cases of companies and individuals that have been affected by the FTX fiasco. The exchange hasn't been transparent about its operations. This has caught the attention of regulators, who are ready to pounce.


Another great source for recycling of silicone oil comes from oil made for diffusion pumps. A diffusion pump is used for creating high vacuums mainly in industrial applications such as thin film deposition, vacuum furnaces, protective film coatings, semiconductor manufacturing, space simulations, and much more. As diffusion pumps do not have any moving parts, it's one of the most stable and affordable ways of producing high vacuums. Generally speaking, diffusion pumps can attain vacuums between 10e-6 to 10e-10 torr depending on the size of the pump as well as the type of diffusion pump oil used.
As stated earlier, there are no moving parts in a diffusion pump. The only moving aspect of the pump is the movement of the diffusion pump oil within. A heater is located at the bottom of the pump that heats the oil until it turns into a vapor or gaseous state. We won't go into depth as to how a diffusion pump works, however, the vapors eventually are turned back into oil and continuously changes between these two states where air molecules are forced outside the system causing a vacuum.
Interestingly, when diffusion pumps were first introduced back in 1915, the diffusion pump oil used was derived from mercury. As mercury is poisonous to humans, this was replaced by oil made from hydro-carbons. However, as mineral based oils tend to thicken and darken when used continuously inside the pump, a problem arises where pumps became often clogged where oil changes were required relatively frequently, every several months.
The newest trend in diffusion pump oil is actually the use of silicone based oils. As silicone offers low vapor pressure and very low degradation when continuously heated and cooled, it became an ideal solution compared to hydro-carbon based oils. Nowadays, inside most diffusion pumps is a silicone based formula.
While degradation of silicone based oils is low, it is still highly recommended that the oil inside the diffusion pump be replaced at least once per year. With all the diffusion pumps being in use in the world, this left a lot of silicone oil for recycling. Luckily, we offer one of the best solutions for recycling diffusion pump oil.
The constant vaporization and condensation of silicone oil actually breaks down the oil on a chemical level. As you continue the use the oil, you'll notice a loss of efficiency, that is, the rate of vacuum will decrease. The chemical deterioration prevents the oil from being reused as diffusion pump oil. While this is so, we have come up with a brilliant solution. Instead of trying to filter and reuse the oil for diffusion pumps, we're now able to completely reprocess diffusion pump oil back into standard grade silicone oil that can be used in other industrial applications.
For more information about our recycling process or if you have a source for used diffusion pump oil, please make sure to contact us.

THE DISCOVERY GEEKS' NOTEBOOK – PART ONE
I intentionally number this blogpost, as it is the first of what will doubtless be a series. Discovery jousting has been the flavor du millennium, and shows no sign of losing that appellation.
Here's Judge Gale playing supervising magistrate in Adrian D. Smith & Nancy W. Smith, et al., Docket No. 13382-17, filed 4/22/19.
First, responses to interrogatories.
IRS claims A&N failed to state what they paid someone for something. But they did state the date and Bates stamp number of the documents they'd already given IRS. That's enough for Rule 71(c).
A&N claim they don't know what their preparer charged to prepare their Form 2065 (sic; of course they meant Form 1065, Partnership Return), as all the preparer invoiced for was "tax return preparation." Judge Gale is not amused. "We believe a reasonable interpretation of a request for the costs of preparing a Form 1065 would treat the subsidiary forms required to be attached thereto as included. A good-faith response could easily have said: 'Petitioners do not have a break-out of the amount paid for the Form 1065 standing alone, but the amount paid to [preparer] for the preparation of the Form 1065 and the additional Federal income tax forms required to be attached thereto was $__.' In any event, the point isn't worth arguing. Petitioners will be directed to respond with a statement concerning the amount paid for the preparation of…Form 1065, plus the forms and exhibits attached thereto…." Order, at p. 3.
Second, document production. IRS claims they got a "document dump," a couple USB flash drives (hi, Judge Holmes) with 29.2 gigs, requiring poor IRS to "…sort through a proverbial 'document dump' to extract the responsive documents." Order, at p. 3.
Except this isn't the case where irrelevant materials are interspersed with the real stuff, in the hope that one's opponent will miss the trees for the cliché.
A&N claim this is how they keep their records in the ordinary course of business.
Judge Gale points to Rule 73(b)(3)(A), son of FRCP 34(b). Ordinary course of business works fine, and IRS' sole bœuf is that they got a lot of documents.
"Respondent has not alleged that petitioners have deliberately mingled responsive documents with nonresponsive documents or simply produced a mass of responsive documents with no internal logic reflecting business use. Rather, respondent alleges only that petitioners have produced a lot of documents and that those documents are not organized or labeled in the manner he prefers.
"We believe the screenshot provided by petitioners adequately supports their contention that the documents were produced as they were kept in the usual course of business. The folders are organized in a manner that suggests an internal logic reflecting business use. 'When a party produces documents "as they are kept in the usual course of business," it has no duty to organize and label the documents to correspond to each request.'" Order, at p. 4 (Citations omitted)(Emphasis by the Court.).
Discovery geeks, please copy.
LIEN OR LEVY
Again this is one of those stories where those who read it don't need it, and those who need it won't read it. But having a few minutes on a busy day, here's the story of Esteban Baeza, Docket No. 3402-18L, filed 4/19/19.
Estaban had three (count 'em, three) years at issue after IRS dropped one year because Estaban proved he was entitled to a refund. He entered into an IA for the remainder, and IRS dropped the levy with which they were trying to collect.
But the lien remained, and Estaban wanted to fight that.
That Obliging Jurist, Judge David Gustafson, gives us a designated hitter to explain to Estaban and others similarly situated.
"Mr. Baeza's only contention in this case is that Appeals should not have sustained the lien notice since he had entered into an installment agreement with the IRS pursuant to which he had agreed to pay over time the liabilities that were the subject of the lien notice. He has not alleged any other defect in Appeals handling of his CDP hearing. He has not challenged his liability for the taxes whose collection is at issue. He has not contended that Appeals erred by denying him any collection alternative (nor that he proposed any)." Order, at pp. 3-4.
Ordinarily, this would be "game over," but Judge Gustafson obligingly explains.
"If a delinquent taxpayer enters into an installment agreement with the IRS, then it would stand to reason that the IRS might forebear active collection of the unpaid liabilities–and that is what the IRS did in Mr. Baeza's case by determining that 'levy action is no longer warranted'. However, since the IRS has thus agreed to wait for the taxpayer to pay those liabilities over time, it seems reasonable that the IRS might file a notice of lien in order to protect its ability to collect in the event that the taxpayer fails to fulfill the terms of the installment agreement. Mr. Baeza has explained no reason why this is not so in his case." Order, at p. 4. (Emphasis by the Court.)
"Trust me, trust me" is no answer.
"THE SNOW FALLING FAINTLY THROUGH THE UNIVERSE"- PART DEUX
Judge Holmes again adverts to the magnificent closing passage of Jimmy Joyce's greatest short story. It seems he finds the "snow faintly falling" as an insufficient precondition to shutting down the Glass House on Second Street and sending off all hands to teletubby chez eux.
Here's Estate of Arthur S. Andersen, Deceased, Tena Haroldson, Eric Stoval and Harold Albright, Personal Co-Representative, Docket No. 14067-14, filed 4/18/19.
Tena, Eric and Harold are working on a Rule 155 beancount after a T. C. Memo. I didn't blog, but "an actual late-winter blizzard" (Order, at p. 1) prevented counsel from meeting with the trio and finishing up.
Judge Holmes will give them some time.
"The Court understands, since it seems to shut down when there a warning of a wisp of snow. See http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2009-01-29-0901281008-story.html (President Obama unsuccessfully calling for "flinty Chicago toughness" on snow days in DC)." Order at p. 1.
DISCOVERY IN LIEU OF TRIAL
Seems like we're heading toward this result, even in US Tax Court, despite homage to Branerton and Rule 71(c)(1)(B). But that Obliging Jurist, Judge David Gustafson, stands like Horatius at the "Play Nice" bridge, in Cross Refined Coal, LLC, USA Refined Coal LLC, Tax Matters Partner, Docket No. 19502-17, filed 4/18/19.
Cross Refined is anything but, with four (count 'em, four) discovery motions. Two are for document production, one to review responses to requests for admissions, and the last to take a deposition. Judge Gustafson gives IRS a couple weeks (hi, Judge Holmes) to answer the lot.
But Judge Gustafson won't play magistrate and supervise discovery. These trial court tactics don't polish the windows at The Glass House on Second Street, NW.
He orders both sides to "…continue to confer with a view toward resolving these discovery disputes themselves, to the maximum extent possible. To this end, petitioner's counsel shall initiate an in-person or telephone conference with respondent's counsel at a mutually convenient time no later than Wednesday, April 24, 2019. As to the fourth of the motions, we observe that, under Rule 74(c)(1)(B), 'The taking of a deposition of a party … is an extraordinary method of discovery.' It seems likely to be even moreso [sic] when the party whose facts are the subject of the lawsuit proposes to depose the party with no personal knowledge of the facts and who first had access to the relevant information only after the fact and indirectly. On the other hand, the relative unavailability of depositions under the Tax Court's rules may, in some circumstances, be a reason that the parties should be required to be especially forthcoming in response to other forms of discovery. The parties might consider this in their further negotiations." Order, at pp. 1-2.
In short, cut the games and get with the program.
STJ LEW AS KING SOLOMON
Innocent spousery falls to the lot of STJ Lewis ("Honor That Name") Carluzzo, as he enwraps himself in the mantle of a judge of even greater renown, in Elaine S. Thomas, Petitioner and Robert Roy Thomas, Intervenor, Docket No. 5680-18S, filed 4/18/19.
This off-the-bench designated hitter is about something less than $5K. STJ Lew questions the stipulated attribution of all to Rob Roy, but apparently is convinced by the record.
STJ Lew loves IRS counsel's pretrial memo, which "…accurately and thoroughly (1) sets forth the background of this case; (2) describes the procedures respondent follows in such matters; and (3) lists the factors considered by respondent in responding to a taxpayer's request for section 6015 relief. The pretrial memorandum also correctly notes that the Court, in general, considers the same set of factors respondent considers, although we are not limited to those factors or bound by respondent's conclusions with respect to each factor." Transcript, at p. 5.
It's so good STJ Lew doesn't bother to quote it. What a shame we all can't read it, unless we surry on down to the stone soul picnic at 400 Second Street, NW; wouldn't it be loverly if we could peruse each page at our leisure and at a dime a throw on PACER or equivalent?
STJ Lew cavils with only a couple points (hi, Judge Holmes, best holiday wishes to you and the whole crowd at The Glass House).
Elaine testifies credibly she didn't know that Rob Roy was going to stiff the Federales, despite IRS and Rob Roy claiming she did know. Rob Roy was paying timely on a IA covering other years at that point, so she reasonably thought he'd throw this one in as well.
"We are more persuaded by the specific conduct pointed out by petitioner than we are by the general description of her and intervenor's financial condition at the relevant time. We consider this factor neutral, rather than weighing against relief, as respondent scored it.
"On the other hand, because in the marital separation agreement, petitioner agreed to pay half of the…liability, we weigh the legal obligation factor against granting relief, even though respondent scored the factor as neutral." Transcript, at pp. 6-7.
You can see STJ Lew reaching for that mantle, and the scourge of whips attributed by his successor to the famous Judge above-cited.
"We are particularly influenced by petitioner's agreement to pay half of the [year at issue] liability. We are also influenced by the decision made by petitioner and intervenor to pay certain expenses rather than their [year at issue] income tax liability. Although the record shows their financial situation was less than comfortable, the record also shows that they had the resources to pay the liability but chose to save or allocate funds for other Purposes [sic]. Lastly, we are influenced by the fact that the unpaid [year at issue] liability is mostly, if not entirely attributable to intervenor. Giving effect to the martial settlement agreement, we see no reason why petitioner should continue to be liable for his share, nor do we see any reason why, or consider it inequitable to continue to hold her liable for hers." Transcript, at pp. 7-8.
UNSCHEDULED? – IT DEPENDS
The USDCJ spoke for most of humanity when he said "I don't know what effect that has on the Internal Revenue Service with all your penalties and interests [sic] and whatever, it seems to me that if you hope to get anything out of this guy, freezing his number at $507,995 is a pretty good idea. And that is what's ordered by the court." Randy Alan Carpenter, 152 T. C. 12, filed 4/18/19.
Randy Alan went down for two years' worth of fraudulent returns, thus the $500K-plus restitution. But the USDCJ also ordered $100-per-month payments, although at the same time he said the entire amount was immediately payable.
Randy Alan claims he's broke, but when IRS filed NFTL and NITL, Randy goes to Appeals, withdraws his request for collection alternatives, and says IRS needs a further order from USDCWDNC before they can grab whatever little he has.
No way, says Judge Mary Ann ("S.E.C. = She Eschews Cognomens") Cohen.
"With the enactment of section 6201(a)(4) Congress expanded the Secretary's collection authority in relation to criminal restitution ordered after August 16, 2010. See Firearms Excise Tax Improvement Act of 2010 (FETIA), Pub. L. No. 111-237, sec. 3, 124 Stat. at 2497. This provision directs that '[t]he Secretary shall assess and collect the amount of restitution under an order pursuant to section 3556 of title 18, United States Code, for failure to pay any tax imposed under this title in the same manner as if such amount were such tax.'" 152 T. C. 12, at p. 15. Moreover, IRS isn't bound by SOL while any appeals from the criminal conviction are taken and decided. See Section 6501(c)(11).
As if. Hans Vaihinger, thou should'st be living at this hour.
There's a whole megillah (please pardon arcane technical term) about whether a USDCJ's oral comments about payment schedules overrides that same jurist's statement that restitution is "immediately due." When you've read the opinion and you're thoroughly confused, the best I can tell you is "it depends." In Randy Alan's case, though he stuck to the schedule ($100-per-month), it avails him not. The USDCJ used the magic language in the magic way.
Neither Section 6230(b) nor Section 6330(b) precluded Randy Alan from offering a collection alternative, even in a restitution case, but he was behind four (count 'em, four) years' worth of tax returns when he petitioned, so that route didn't look too auspicious.
IRS did abate interest and penalties. For the skinny on this, see my blogpost "IRS Gets Zip," 10/3/17.
Takeaway- Criminal defense Bar, please stay safe out there. If you want a schedule, make sure the USDCJ says "schedule payment and not, repeat not, immediately due."
THE TAXPAYER BILL OF GOODS
Much fanfare accompanied the promulgation of the so-called "Taxpayer Bill of Rights." Judge James S ("Big Jim") Halpern has compressed this title into TBOR, and I shall do likewise.
Maria Ivon Moya, 152 T. C. 11, filed 4/17/19, claims IRS trampled on these rights by not giving her an audit nearer her home, sent her misleading correspondence, and inconsistent information. But Maria Ivon never challenged IRS' determinations blowing off her Sched C losses and raising her taxable Social Security payments. And although she timely petitioned the SNOD IRS sent her, she never assigned error to what IRS did. And Judge Big Jim catechized Maria Ivon both telephonically and personally to raise specific issues with IRS' numbers. She didn't.
In her post-trial brief, Maria Ivon complained about IRS' counsel and the Taxpayer Advocate not helping her, but Judge Big Jim says even if he considered that, it wouldn't change the result.
Maria Ivon argues the SNOD was invalid because IRS violated her rights. Well, apparently Mark Zuckerberg tried a similar move based on TBOR back in 2017 in USDCNDCA; see Facebook and Subsidiaries v. Com'r, 17-cv-06490-LB, 2018. Mark fared no better.
Greenberg's Express is the barrier. In a deficiency case, you get a de novo review. Therefore, all that is past isn't even prologue. For sixty bucks and a certified letter, you get a new shuffle-and-deal, whatever IRS did or didn't do.
When TBOR first blipped the radar, its biggest proponent, NTA Nina E. ("The Big O") Olsen, made it crystal clear that no new rights were created thereby. All TBOR did was put in one place, and in simple terms, what was scattered throughout the IRC.
Legislative attempts to require IRS' high command to "teach them diligently" to all IRS personnel, and to "talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up," as a much more Exalted Authority put it in connection with ten much more significant pronouncements, never got enacted.
Simple, right? Raise your objections to the deficiency in your petition, or lose them; forget the IRS' missteps. Only the most blatant Constitutional violations will avail, and this isn't such a case.
One thing puzzles me: IRS "…alleges that petitioner will have the opportunity to resolve this case with the IRS Office of Appeals." 152 T. C. 11, at p. 6. How? Maria Ivon had her chance in this proceeding, and never addressed the deficiencies themselves. No way do you get a second chance at liability on a CDP if you got the deficiency, petitioned it, and lost in Tax Court. Maybe IRS meant CNC, IA, OIC as to collection, but that was certainly a misleading statement.
Howbeit, this case was hardly well-litigated, and I'm sorry we didn't get a better fact pattern and record in a precedent-setting case.
"Neither party has presented us with a rigorous argument either way as to whether the IRS TBOR accorded petitioner rights the violation of which would give us reason to ignore the principle articulated in Greenberg's Express and look behind the notice in order to remediate any violation. Petitioner has made no argument at all. Respondent's argument that rights found in the IRS TBOR are not constitutional rights is perfunctory. Nevertheless, on our own examination of the question, we conclude that, even if we were to credit petitioner's claims that, in examining her returns, respondent violated her rights to be informed, to challenge the IRS position and be heard, and to a fair and just tax system (all rights found in the IRS TBOR) and, also, that he failed to afford her an interview near her home in California before he issued the notice, we would neither invalidate the notice, relieve petitioner of any portion of the burden of proof, nor take any other action to remediate those violations or failure. The simple reasons are that (1) the IRS TBOR did not add to petitioner's rights and (2) even if everything she says is true, respondent's missteps that petitioner complains of would not in this de novo proceeding cause us to either lift or lighten her burden of proving error in respondent's determinations of deficiencies in her tax." 152 T. C. 11, at pp. 16-17.
So if you get a de novo hearing before an impartial tribunal (which Tax Court is), unless IRS used unConstitutionally obtained evidence, IRS can do whatever it wanted before.
The Taxpayer Bill of Rights is the Taxpayer Bill of Goods.
ELECTRONICUTION CAN TAKE MANY FORMS
Oh, those electrons! Sneaky little chappies, they can undo and confound without regard to age and status.
Here's the sad tale of Wm W Smith, Esq., name partner in the firm of Smith & Alspaugh, PC, Docket No. 4315-19L, filed 4/16/19.
Looks like Wm W, representing his eponymous PC, filed what Ch J Maurice B ("Mighty Mo") Foley recharacterizes.
"…petitioner's counsel William W. Smith filed a Motion For Leave To File Motion for Permission To File with Paper as well as Electronically, which is in fact a motion to be exempt from E-filing." Order, at p. 1.
Well, we remember the Texas Technophobes, headed by Terri M. Morgeson, Esq. You don't? Then see my blogpost "The Best Little Low-Income Tax Clinic in Texas," 7/18/14. And Old Bill Wise, star of my blogpost "(Old) Technophobes, Rejoice!" 12/18/13.
Wm W's story is that he's 77 years old and he isn't proficient at electronic filing.
Well, I'm not all that much younger than Wm W, but I can generally figure out how to scan and get a PDF thereof into most e-filing systems. However, I readily agree not everyone can assimilate the Body Electronic.
But Wm W sets off his own electronic petard.
"He further states that he will attempt to electronically file, and in fact, electronically filed his motion to be exempt from electronically filing." Order, at p. 1.
But instead of giving Wm W a "well done" for having mastered the new (to him) electronic frontier, Ch J Mighty Mo gives Wm W the toss.
"In pertinent part, Rule 26(b), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, generally provides that electronic filing is required for all papers filed by parties represented by counsel in open cases. Mandatory electronic filing does not apply to petitions and other papers that are not eligible for electronic filing. Rule 26(b)(1), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. However, Rule 26(b)(3), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, provides that any counsel in a case upon motion filed in paper form and for good cause shown may be granted an exception from the electronic filing requirement." Order, at p. 1. (Emphasis by the Court).
Wm W, you filed electronically, so you are forever electronicuted.
"RELIEF IS NOT A SWALLOW AWAY"
Sorry, George Jones and Speedy, but relief from (getting out of) a signed stipulation in US Tax Court is not "just a swallow away."
Just ask Edward Roberson & Connie Roberson, Docket No. 27486-15, filed 4/16/19. And Judge Buch will definitely roger that transmission.
Ed & Connie were fighting with IRS over Ed's Sched C. They were on for trial last November. They answered the calendar call and were awaiting trial, when they stiped out. Fellow practitioners tell me that maybe 70% of Tax Court cases on the calendar either get bounced on default or are stiped out.
IRS promptly sent the decision documents to Ed & Connie in November. Judge Buch gave them to January 7 this year to sign, but Shutdown.
When IRS went back to work, Ed & Connie said they weren't signing, because the Sched C income was lower and deductible expenses higher.
IRS moved to enter decision (what we State courtiers call "judgment") based on the stip; Ed & Connie counter with their revised numbers.
Judge Buch: "We may modify or set aside a stipulation that is clearly contrary to the facts, but we do not set aside a stipulation that is consistent with the record simply because one party claims the stipulation is erroneous. We may grant relief if a party asserts contractual defenses, but a unilateral mistake of fact in a binding, unambiguous stipulation is not a ground for relief.
"The Robersons did not present any contractual defenses. The Robersons raised the issue of this alleged error only after the parties entered into the stipulation. The Robersons' unilateral mistake (assuming there was one) is not grounds to set aside a contract." Order, at p. 2. (Citations omitted, but get them for your memo of law file).
The Robersons claim the stip was a "take it or leave it" proposition. But they knew from IRS' amended answer four months before trial that Sched C numbers were on the table.
And finally, the real point: "Moreover, the Robersons were represented by their counsel who also had notice of the items in dispute. The parties thus freely and fairly signed the stipulation long after both parties were aware of what was at issue. We are reluctant to relieve a party from a stipulation when the party entered into the stipulation with full knowledge of the relevant facts." Order, at pp. 3-4. (Citations omitted; see above parenthetical).
Of course, Ed & Connie could have gone to trial. They didn't, so they're stuck. Who stipulates, capitulates.
"ADMITTED BUT NOT RECOGNIZED"
Always eager to help my colleagues, I refresh my reference to separate checks for attorneys appearing in Tax Court: there is no Entry of Appearance for law firms.
See my blogpost "Separate Checks," 9/1/15.
Today we have an attorney, in the firm that represents the petitioners, trying to solve a problem expeditiously with a letter, and getting unceremoniously tossed by Ch J Maurice B ("Mighty Mo") Foley.
See Gelacio R. Nepomuceno & Nancy G. Nepomuceno, Docket No. 4510-19, filed 4/16/19.
Unfortunately the only currently-filed Entry of Appearance names the senior managing attorney individually.
Perhaps the problem-solver should have enclosed her own Entry of Appearance with her letter.
Word to the Chief Clerk: There exist such things as law firms, with principals and associates all of whom are admitted to Tax Court. So there really needs to be a new form of Entry of Appearance, recognizing that law firms do exist, that various attorneys employed therein share files among themselves, and might occasionally ask a colleague to cover a routine matter while on trial or on vacation. Maybe we don't need the covering attorney to file an Entry of Appearance for essentially a one-time appearance. Perhaps a one-size-fits-all law firm Entry of Appearance, listing all admittees in one place, might save time and paper (or electrons).
Meantime, to my law firm colleagues, and any solos using per diems, make sure everybody has an Entry of Appearance (Form 7) to send in (in duplicate) any time they need to step in for the colleague or solo.
