Todd and Julie Chrisley Officially Indicted on Tax Evasion Charges, Blaming Ex-Employee
The 'Chrisley Knows Best' stars are indicted on 12 charges of conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion after denying the claims and maintaining they 'have nothing to hide and have done nothing to be ashamed of.'
AceShowbiz - Reality TV stars Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley were officially indicted on Tuesday, August 13 by a grand jury on tax evasion charges by the Northern District of Charges. The couple was indicted on 12 counts, which also allege them of conspiracy, bank fraud and wire fraud among other offenses.
Their accountant Peter Tarantino has also been charged with tax-related offenses. U.S. Attorney Byung J. "BJay" Pak says in the press release issued by the Northern District of Georgia's Department of Justice, "Todd and Julie Chrisley are charged not only with defrauding a number of banks by fraudulently obtaining millions of dollars in loans, but also with allegedly cheating taxpayers by actively evading paying federal taxes on the money they earned."
The stars of "Chrisley Knows Best" are facing a number of accusations that trace to "at least as early as" 2007. They allegedly provided "false information" to banks to obtain "millions of dollars" in loans roughly between 2007 and 2012 and "fabricated bank statements and a fabricated credit report" to obtain a lease for a California home in 2014 evaded paying federal taxes. The allegedly also didn't file income tax returns in a "timely" manner between 2013 and 2016, and obstructed "IRS collection efforts."
Prior to the indictment, Todd released a lengthy statement on Instagram denying all the claims against him and his wife. The real estate mogul claimed that an ex-employee had stolen from his family, created "phony documents" and forged signatures years ago, which led to the investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"I've never talked about this publicly before, but there's been a cloud hanging over Julie and me and our entire family for the past seven years. It all started back in 2012, when we discovered that a trusted employee of ours had been stealing from us big time," Todd said in the post. The 50-year-old accused the ex-employee of "creating phony documents, forging our signatures, and threatening other employees with violence if they said anything."
"We even discovered that he illegally bugged our home," he added of the unnamed ex-employee. "Needless to say, we fired the guy and took him to court - and that's when the real trouble started. To get revenge, he took a bunch of his phony documents to the U.S. Attorney's office and told them we had committed all kinds of financial crimes, like tax evasion and bank fraud. That got their attention all right, but once we had a chance to explain who he was and what he'd done to us, they realized it was all a bunch of nonsense and they sent him on his way."
But the "former employee didn't give up," Todd continued. "Somehow, he persuaded a different set of investigators at the U.S. Attorney's office not only to reopen the case but also to grant him immunity from prosecution for his own crimes and bring charges against us."
Maintaining their innocence, Todd said, "We know we've done nothing wrong." He insisted, "I'm telling you all this now because we have nothing to hide and have done nothing to be ashamed of. Not only do we know we've done nothing wrong, but we've got a ton of hard evidence and a bunch of corroborating witnesses that proves it."
Todd Chrisley denies tax evasion and bank fraud claims.
Amid the case, it's reported that USA Network canceled "Chrisley Knows Best". However, a source tells HollywoodLife.com that the network has not made such decision and that the second half of the show's season 7 is expected to premiere this fall.

General John Coffee
Transcribed and Contributed by Patricia Hartley, January 8, 2017
Source: Northern Alabama Historical and Biographical, 1888 (Sketch was written by Col. James E. Saunders)
"Talladega was the next battle fought by General Jackson in person. Here was a small fort, in which a number of friendly Indians had taken refuge, and were closely surrounded by the hostiles. They were out of food and water in the garrison, where a noted chief enveloped himself in a hog-skin, and went rooting and grunting around, until he made his way through the lines, and as fleet as the wind, reached the camp of General Jackson. He implored the General to march immediately to the rescue of his friends, which, midnight as it was, he ded. He forded the Coosa, here 600 yards wide, with a rcky, uneven bottom. Each horseman carried behind him a foot-man until the whole army was over. He encamped in the evening within six miles of the fort. At four o'clock next morning he surrounded the enemy, numbering 1,100 warriors. After a sharp but decisive action, he defeated them. They left 295 warriors dead on the field. This brilliant victory exerted a powerful influence on the enemy as well the country. General Coffee, with his force of 1,000 mounted volunteers, participated in this battle, and contributed largely to the victory achieved on that hotly contested field. He was a giant in stature, finely proportioned, taciturn, with nothing of the braggart or pretender about him. While he was determined to do his duty, he was wholly unconcerned as to who should reap the glory. He was the first in the field, and had been in the saddle for a month, leading his brave soldiers up and down the country, keeping the enemy from the frontiers, which they were watching like a wolf redy to pounce on the flock. His presence on the frontier dispelled the alarm of the citizens, while his swift movements indicated that he meant business, and made him a terror to the Indians. He and Gen. William Carroll were the right arm of General Jackson, and faithfully they performed the duties entrusted to them.
"After this battle General Jackson marched his small army, which was out of provisions, back as rapidly as possible to Fort Strother. Arriving there, he was deeply mortified to find that no provisions had arrived at that point. The men were hungry, and there was great dissatisfaction in the camp. Bonaparte was asked once, what were the two things most essential to a soldier, and his reply was, 'A full belly and a strong pair of shoes.' The men who had behaved so well in battle were impatient of hunger, and took up their line of march for Tennessee. He threw himself ahead of the men who were moving off, and with General Coffee, Carroll, and a few brave fellows, he formed a line in front of them, seized a musket from one of his men and declared that he would shoot the first man who dared to march. They only saw his flashing eyes and determined look, and the power of numbers quailed before the iron will--the moral greatness of one man. He, however, promised the men, that if in a reasonable time provisions did not arrive, they might go, as their time of service was about to expire.
"He kept his word, and in a few days he was left in a savage land, with only one hunderd men. But they were choice spirits, with gallantry enough to leven a small army, as will be seen in the two following battles, in which there were feats of valor, not excelled in the pages of romance.
"At length two regiments arrived, numbering about 850 men, which had only been enlisted for sixty days. As their time was short be employed no drill-master; determined to drill them in actual battle. He marched them across the Coosa, was joined by 200 Cherokees and friendly Creeks, and sought the enemy at Emuckfaw. Besides these there was a company composed of officers enterely, whose command had returned home, forty-five in number, amongst them General Coffee, Inspector-General Carroll, and Adjutant-General Sitter.
"When the alarm was given the whole line was led to the charge by General Coffee, and the Indians were forced to abandon the ground in a rapid manner. Shortly afterward a body of the enemy boldly advanced and attacked the right wing of Jackson's encampment. Coffee again charged, but, through some mistake, only forty-five men followed, composing his own company of volunteer officers; but the friendly Indians were sent by Jackson to his support. Dismounting his men he soon pursued the 'Red Sticks' to the swamp of a creek. Jackson had ordered his left flank to remain firm, and now the Indians came rusing with yells against it: but they were repelled by a charge made by the impetuous Carroll. In the meantime, Coffee kept the enemy at bay, who had now returned upon him from te swamp, until General Jackson strengthened him with a re-enforcement of one hundred friendly warriors. Coffee again charged, when the Indians once more gave way; and the pursuit was continued for three miles, with the loss of 45 savages. The brave Creeks had now been repulsed on every attempt, but they exhibited a ferocity and daring which commanded the serious consideration of General Jackson. He had no forage for his horses, and very few rations for his men, and his force was weaker than he desired. He determined to return to Fort Strother, with all possible dispatch. In this battle Alexander Donelson, aide-de-camp of General Coffee, and eldest brother of his wife, was killed. Next morning the army commenced its retrograde movement, bearing the wounded in litters, constructed of the hides of the slain horses. In one of those lay General Coffee, who, at the conclusion of the third charge, was wounded, as it was thought, mortally.
"Before night Jackson encamped near the ford of the Enotochopco, which they had crossed in marching down, and fortified himself. The Indians were prowling around, but refrained from an attack. Dreading an onset at the ford of the creek, which had great facilities for ambuscades, he selected another crossing six hundred yards lower down.
"Next morning the march was begun. The front-guard with the wounded had passed the creek, and the artillery was in the creek, when an alarm gun was heard which was succeeded by a fierce attack of the savages on the rear-guard. The new regiments, siezed by a sudden panic, fled without firing a gun. A scene of wonderful confusion prevailed for awhile. The six pounder was brought on the hill, but in the confusion the ramrod was lost and constantine Perkins rammed down the charge with his musket, and Craven Jackson picked the touch-hole with his ram-rod. While Carroll was scarcely holding the rear with a few brave men, Gen. Coffee leaped from his litter, mounted his horse and dashed forward to assist in rallying the men; and when Jackson with surprise saw his tall form, pale from the loss of blood and swathed in white bandages, the apparition was so unearthly, that he exclaimed, "We'll whip 'em, boys, we'll whip 'em--even the dead have risen from their graves, to help us."
"Tohopek (or the Horse Shoe) was the closing scene of the Creek War. About five miles from the battle ground of Emuckfau is the great bend of the Tallapoosa, where the warriors of the nation, nearly 1,000 strong, had concentrated their forces for a last desperate struggle. Across a narrow neck of land, or isthmus, the Indians had erected a breast-work of logs, from five to eight feet high, with double port-holes, arranged with no little skill and ingenuity. This was the entrance to the great bend of about one hundred acres of land. The center was high ground, and on the river bottom at the lower extremity of the peninsula was the Indian village.
"Early on the morning of this battle, General Coffee with his brigade of cavalry, the friendly Indians under command of Col. Gideon Morgan, and Captain Russell's company of spies, was detached by General Jackson, with instructions to cross the river two miles below the bend, and take possession of the high grounds on the opposite bank, so as to cut off all chance of escape in that quarter. General Jackson then marched the remainder of his forces to a position in front of the breast-work, where he halted his men until the pre-arranged signal announced that General Coffee had drawn a cordon of soldiers around the elevated ground overlooking the river and the hostile town and fortifications. The main column immediately moved forward. The two pieces of artillery, a six and a three pounder, were planted on a hill, and about 10 o'clock in the forenoon the action commenced. The firing on the American side was mostly confined to the artillery.
"For two hours the fire of the artillery was kept up without doing any material damage to the strong log wall. Meanwhile, General Coffee sent some of his expert swimmers among the friendly Indians across the river, who cut loose and brought away the canoes of the beleagured Creeks, in which he transported a portion of his force, under command of Colonel Morgan, to the side of the river occupied by the Indians, landing in the rear of where the fight was going on. They reached the town and wrapped it in flames.

Houston Texans receiver and two-time Pro Bowler DeAndre Hopkins apparently has no problem sharing the wealth on offense.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, Hopkins posted an edited image of five-time Pro Bowler Jimmy Graham in full Texans gear. The post was simply captioned with a thumbs up, seemingly indicating Hopkins' approval at the potential move.
Hopkins was Houston's leading receiver in 2017, finishing the year with 1,378 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 games. Hopkins did much of that damage without starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was injured after just six starts in the 2017 season.
Despite the statistical success, it looks like Hopkins would be very willing to bring in additional help on offense, and adding Graham would be an incredible boost for the Texans. Graham is coming off of a four-year deal, three of which he spent in Seattle after being traded by New Orleans. While Graham hasn't had the same success with the Seahawks as he did with the Saints, the big tight end has still been averaging over 50 catches per season over the past three years.
Graham and Hopkins together, along with Watson returning to play after a stellar — yet short — performance in his rookie year? That could really be what puts the Texans over the top as they really try to make a deep push into the NFL Playoffs in the 2018 season.

China sets new record
for Asian art auctions
An incredible supply of fake art dents buyer thrill but Chinese paintings have crossed the US$23m mark for a single piece, The Last Supper, by Zeng Fanzhi.
By CAITLIN RANDALL
London, March 2014
In October 2013, Zeng Fanzhi, who is not yet 50 years old, sold his painting The Last Supper (pictured here) to a non-Chinese collector for US$23.3 million at an auction in Hong Kong. Photo: Getty Images
WHEN the international auction house Christie's launched its new venture in mainland China, it did so with a bang. And a big bang at that. In a jam-packed church in downtown Shanghai September 2013, the world-renowned "explosion artist" Cai Guo-Qiang ignited a series of blasts at the edges of an eight-panel composition. Assembled VIPs held their ears as rapid-fire detonations sent smoke billowing through the hall. They waited expectantly as the air cleared, craning to see how gunpowder had transformed the ink drawing.
The demonstration was in some ways reflective of the Chinese art market which in the last decade has undergone its own big bang and its own radical transformation; morphing from a sleepy backwater – a legacy of the Cultural Revolution when Red guards would regularly seize and destroy artworks – to a major player in the global art market. Since around 2003, a spree of art buying has taken China to the top of the world spending charts peaking in 2011 when it outstripped the US for the first time, grabbing 41.4 percent of global art auction revenue, according to Artprice, specialists in art market information.

Since around 2003, a spree of art buying has taken China to the top of the world spending charts peaking in 2011 when it outstripped the US for the first time, grabbing 41.4 percent of global art auction revenue
But at the start of 2014, with theAsian art auction season kicking off in March, observers say the boom-time sentiment that has gripped the market for much of decade has faded. A sharp retrenchment in 2012 sales shook investor confidence. And even if 2013 sales proved the market is still luring buyers – London-based ArtTactic reports Chinese art auction sales are up 28 percent in 2013 from the previous year's slump – it's clear that for most of the market caution rules the day. The standout is China's contemporary sector where staggering sales continue to whip up excitement and worry in equal measure.
"There was a point a few years ago when buyers were Hoovering pretty much whatever was on offer with little discrimination," says Asaph Hyman, Director of the Bonhams Chinese Art Department in London. "Perhaps it's a certain maturity in the market, but in the last year, year-and-a-half, buyers in the traditional arts have become more selective."
London dealer Rodger Keverne, who specialises in Chinese antiques, agrees: "There's definitely been a softening in the market. Collectors are bit more cautious."
Keverne, calls it a "double-edged sword," noting that not only are buyers "taking a more conservative approach," but supply has dwindled as well with few high-end collectors looking to sell.
Even Christie's which saw a hefty jump in worldwide sales in 2013 – in no small part thanks to a crop of Chinese billionaires – paints a more subdued picture for classical Chinese art and antiquities.
"By 2012, the Chinese market had grown so phenomenally quickly that sustaining such a fantastically quick growth was unrealistic," says Hong-Kong based Jonathan Stone, the auction house's International Head of Asian Art, noting that the buying binge for traditional art has tempered to a more "sustainable" level.
The numbers bear out this more cautious tone. A study released in January by the China Association of Auctioneers (CAA) and New York-based Artnet, a firm that tracks auctions, reveals that globally auction sales of Chinese art fell 37 percent from 2011 to US$6.9 billion in 2012.
The Artnet-CAA report said the high end of China's art market took the hardest hit. Specifically, 409 Chinese works, mostly traditional paintings or calligraphy, sold for more than US$1.5 million around the world in 2012, down sharply from the 831 works sold at that price level in 2011.
Similarly, a report by Dr Clare McAndrew for the European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF) points to a steep drop in Chinese auction sales from 2011 to 2013.
"Auctions have been the main engine of growth and heavily dominate the market, accounting for close to 70 percent of sales in China. From 2009 to 2011, sales values in the sector increased by over 350 percent, but declined 30 percent to €6.9 billion (US$11.3 billion) in 2012 in the Chinese art market from 2011 to 2013," the report reads.
China's economy is partly to blame: while it grew at 7.7 percent in 2013 this doesn't compare to the full-throttle double-digit rates chalked up over the last few decades. But collector confidence has been has been spooked as well by tales of payment defaults, forgery and market fraud.
A recent series in The New York Times chronicled the problems plaguing the Chinese art market, including forgery. The paper notes that, "The trail of phony antiques, bogus paintings and fake bronzes winds throughout China these days" and cites a study by the art data company Artron that estimates as many as 250,000 people in some 20 Chinese cities are involved in producing and selling fakes.
The town of Jingdezhen in southeastern China stands out. Once at the centre of high-fire porcelain making, a sophisticated art form perfected during the Ming (AD 1368-1644) dynasty, the town now churns out copies by the thousands in over 100 factories that dot the grim industrial landscape. Some of the pieces end up – intentionally or through a convoluted series of sales and re-sales – in the hands of major collectors, auction houses and museums.
Typically, Chinese collectors look for art that reflects their culture, with demand for traditional Chinese pieces particularly strong even among younger buyers. The dark side of this is a surge in forgeries hitting the market.
"We see alot of young faces in our part of the market, which is traditional works of Chinese art and ceramics," notes Hyman at Bonhams. "Even though there have been many, many, centuries of collecting traditional Chinese art in China, there was a period in the 20th century when it was nearly impossible. So in many ways the Chinese are rediscovering or repatriating their art," he says in interview at the London headquarters. He acknowledges that traditional art and antiquities are more likely to be faked than contemporary works where the artist is still alive to judge the piece's authenticity.
Sarina Tang, a Shanghai-born art collector and curator, argues that the plethora of fakes is complicated by a cultural acceptance of copying old masters, viewed more as admiring imitations than unscrupulous forgeries.
"One way in which Chinese artists learned how to paint was to copy old masters. It wasn't ever considered a crime or a terrible cultural breach as it is in western culture," says Tang from her New York office where she runs Currents, a foundation promoting Chinese art and music internationally.
"Another aspect to consider is that there is a lack of connoisseurship and expertise in China. There's not a long tradition of art historians and curators who can pass judgement on the quality of art. Everyone from collectors to investors are newcomers to the field," Tang adds, noting that this can be traced back to the Mao years when "for decades artists were not only not allowed to make art, but even owning art would see you thrown in jail."
Increasingly, high-profile Chinese forgery scandals are grabbing the headlines, sending shudders through the art market and dampening collectors' enthusiasm for buying.
In September 2013, Sotheby's put the work Gong Fu Tie up for auction. Neither international auction house Sotheby's nor Christie's are allowed to sell ancient Chinese paintings or art works that are defined as cultural relics in mainland China. So when they auction such works it is typically done in New York, London or Hong Kong. Gong Fu Tie went on sale in New York with the auctioneers expecting a sale at around US$500,000. But fierce bidding boosted the price to US$8.2 million where it was acquired by a wealthy Shanghai businessman and collector.
The 1,000-year-old masterpiece of Chinese calligraphy was the work of Song Dynasty poet Su Shi. At least that's what Sotheby's believed. But since the thrilling bidding war in New York took place, the work has been declared a fake by three Chinese art historians. Sotheby's remains adamant that the work is real.
Sotheby's Head of Classical Chinese Paintings, Rongde Zhang, declined to discuss charges that the piece was fake and in an email commented only that, "Our sale in the fall of 2013 was a huge success" with the 'Gong Fu Tie' calligraphy at the heart of it. "The calligraphy is an extremely rare find," he wrote.
But it was last July when the Jibaozhai Museum in Hebei province was shut down setting tongues wagging in the international community and making Chinese officials squirm with embarrassment. Some 40,000 pieces – nearly everything in the museum – were suspected of being fakes, including a five-colour porcelain vase from the Tang dynasty. In the case of the vase, the artistic technique wasn't even invented until hundreds of years later.
China's Association of Auctioneers and the Chinese government and have tried to crack down on forgeries, but the fast-growing auction market has proved tough to tame. The problem is exacerbated by an explosion in the number of auction houses, according to Art Price. Ten years ago, just five auction houses exceeded turnovers of around US$8 million in London and New York. Today, there are 31 operating at this level, 70 percent of them are in Asia. Indeed, China's Poly Auction has taken the title of third largest auction house in the world behind Christie's and Sotheby's with 2012 sales reportedly near US$1 billion.
Poly has refused in recent years to allow the China Association of Auctioneers to publish data on sales of pieces which have not been paid for completely. Further, the association's studies found that in 2012 only 34 percent of sales Poly reported for works valued at over US$1.6 million were actually completed by the following year.
Indeed, details about the sales performance of China's auction houses have been tough to uncover since the art market boom began. Some of the country's top auction houses refuse to talk about artworks sold at record prices, knowing they were never paid for once the gavel went down. Winning bidders simply refuse to pay, fearing the piece was forged.
As The New York Times put it: "Auction houses clearly want buyers to pay. But when they don't – which happens routinely here for reasons that include buyers' becoming leery that they've purchased a fake – it's in the house's interest to obscure the problem by treating the defaults as sales."
The country's forgery problem helps account for the mounting number of payment defaults plaguing Chinese auction houses. A study by the China Association of Auctioneers found that about half the sales of artworks valued at over US$1.5 million were never completed because the buyer failed to pay what was owed. Observers say it's reached the point that when the gavel falls on an item in a Chinese auction house, it's seen as only the starting point for negotiations over the final price to be paid.
If there is one sector of the art market that is relatively shielded from forgery problems, it's contemporary art. The reasoning is obvious: with the artist alive, authentication is simply a matter of contacting the studio. And with Post War and Contemporary Art accounting for a full 43 percent of market share by value, consumer confidence in the sector can turn the market's fortunes one way or another.
It may be no coincidence this was the one segment of the Chinese art market that boosted a bumper year 2013. According to the art market research firm ArtTactic, auction sales soared by 69 percent from 2012 to 2013 and with it a surge in buyer confidence.
"The only way is up," a report from ArtTactic confidently predicted, citing a healthy appetite for high-end lots. "The $1 million plus price category has seen confidence increasing by more than 20% since April 2013, and the $500,000 to $1 million price range saw an even greater jump of 86%."
In October 2013, Zeng Fanzhi, who is not yet 50 years old, sold his painting The Last Supper to a non-Chinese collector for US$23.3 million at auction in Hong Kong – a new record price for a work by an Asian contemporary artist
The lion's share of Chinese contemporary art buyers are still locals. Among them are a handful of established buyers who are putting their time and a hefty amount of cash into building up their own collection with an eye toward showing them in private museums, such as in the Long Museum in Shanghai.
At the same time, the market is becoming increasingly international with collectors outside Asia keen to buy young Chinese contemporary artists. Some collectors such as Americans Don and Mera Rubellhave used their entire museum space in Miami to showcase 28 Chinese contemporary artists. In Europe, collectors Dominique and Sylvain Levy, continue to build on their existing collection, already 200 artists strong.
"Chinese artists want to be recognised outside China," Sylvain Levy recently told an audience of the International Symposium for Gallerists. But a slew of museum exhibitions isn't necessarily on their agenda, commanding gallery space is what's driving China's contemporary artists, Levy added.
He points to the top grossing Chinese artist Zeng Fanzhi as an example. In October 2013, the artist, who is not yet 50 years old, sold his painting The Last Supper to a non-Chinese collector for US$23.3 million at auction in Hong Kong – a new record price for a work by an Asian contemporary artist.
"What is interesting is that Zeng Fanzhi has not had very important exhibitions in museums. There is no validation coming from museums…because the art system in China is not established, people don't [rely on] museums to confirm the validity of an artist, they believe the market," Levy says.
The Hua Gallery, a 2,000-foot space on south bank of the Thames, is an alluring space for Chinese contemporary artists eager to exhibit in London. On a recent visit, the Beijing-based artist Han Bing's photographs covered the white walls.
In one, scraps of garbage float aimlessly over a concrete high-rise; crushed plastic bottles and soiled cardboard drift in the oil-stained sky. The detritus of modern living photographed in the reflections of a sewage ditch. Bold, powerful and provocative, they would never have seen a gallery wall before 2000.
"After Tiananmen Square and into the 90s, the restrictions on art and artists were severe. Since 2000, Chinese authorities have realised the importance of supporting art, they understand its value as a commodity and a propaganda tool; Look at all these amazing artists we have here," says Dagmar Carnevale Lavezzoli, the gallery manager.
At the same time, Carnevale adds, a whole generation of young artists have moved on from the political realism phase to more "introspective even psychological themes."Still, artists in China need to walk a fine line, knowing how far to push and when to retreat. Politically and socially committed artists such as Zhen and Qiang Gao and Ai Weiwei have the fame and international clout to test the boundaries, but even they can only push so far.
It's still uncertain if the Chinese contemporary market is a speculative bubble ready to bust or at a turning point in which the world's collectors are shifting their gaze eastward. What is certain is that the talent pool in China is huge, but for the market to mature and thrive it needs to see beyond the top 20 big namesthat have grabbed the spotlight for over a decade. There is a new crop of young Chinese artists out there and they're clamouring for attention.

Not surprising. The Chinese are buying everything they can lay their hands on. A very good read. The Last Supper sale price is phenomenal and the issue of fakes deserves an article on its own.

El centro histórico de Barranquilla es la zona donde surgió dicha ciudad colombiana y se desarrolló la vida social, comercial, cultural y política desde su establecimiento en el siglo XVII hasta los años 1980. Actualmente es el sector más importante de la ciudad en términos comerciales y económicos y una zona estratégica para el futuro desarrollo de Barranquilla. Sin embargo, afronta una aguda problemática a causa de la invasión del espacio público, la contaminación ambiental, la inseguridad, el caos urbanístico y la destrucción de inmuebles de interés arquitectónico e histórico. El centro histórico de Barranquilla fue declarado Bien de Interés Cultural de Carácter Nacional por el Ministerio de Cultura mediante resolución 1614 de 1999. Desde la década de 1990, el centro histórico de Barranquilla se encuentra en proceso de recuperación, la cual se consolida en 2008 con la convocatoria del Ministerio de Cultura para el «Concurso Público de Anteproyecto Arquitectónico para el Diseño de Diferentes Sectores Urbanos para la Recuperación del Espacio Público del Centro Histórico de Barranquilla». A nivel de la administración local, el desarrollo del centro de Barranquilla es promovido por la Promotora del Desarrollo del Distrito Central de Barranquilla S.A. (Promocentro), entidad descentralizada adscrita a la Alcaldía Distrital.

Ubicación

El centro histórico de Barranquilla está ubicado en el extremo centro-oriental de la ciudad, cercano a la margen occidental del río Magdalena, al pie de los caños del Mercado y de la Tablaza. Está comprendido entre las carreras 35 y 46 y las calles 30 y 46, y además del barrio centro incluye partes de los barrios San Roque, El Rosario y Abajo. Forma parte de la localidad Norte-Centro Histórico y del Distrito Central, conformado además por los sectores de Barranquillita y El Boliche. El centro es también sede de los poderes administrativos de la ciudad y del departamento del Atlántico. Su eje es el paseo de Bolívar, la avenida más importante de la ciudad, restaurada y ampliada entre 2003 y 2008.

El centro histórico de Barranquilla tiene un área total de 744.866 m², un área de manzanas de 543.377 m², un área de vías de 201.488 m², un área de andenes de 75.828 m², y un área de recreación de 9.675 m². El área de recreación corresponde al 1,29% del total del centro histórico y no cumple con la función recreativa.

Historia

En la zona correspondiente al centro histórico de Barranquilla se establecieron las primeras comunidades indígenas preheredianas (Pedro de Heredia tuvo a su cargo la exploración de Tierradentro, territorio correspondiente al departamento del Atlántico), como el pueblo indígena de Camash, entregado en encomienda en 1549. De hecho, en el subsuelo del centro, así como en distintos sitios de Barranquilla, se halla una extensa necrópolis indígena, según lo demostraron excavaciones arqueológicas y accidentales durante el siglo XX.

En la época de la Colonia, la ciudad empezó a constituirse como tal alrededor del actual paseo de Bolívar, más exactamente en el sitio de la antigua plaza de la Cruz Vieja, calle 32 con carrera 44. En 1886 se produce una importante intervención en el centro promovida por el padre Carlos Valiente, el ingeniero José Félix Fuenmayor y los alcaldes Daniel Olaciregui y Antonio Abello, enfocada en 3 aspectos: la iglesia de San Nicolás, la nivelación de su plaza o parque, y la calle Ancha. La principal calle del centro, la calle Ancha, es remodelada por iniciativa del alcalde Antonio Abello, samario que acababa de regresar de París donde realizó estudios de Jurisprudencia, quien asumió el cargo después de la guerra civil de 1885 que tuvo uno de sus epicentros en Barranquilla. Abello le propuso al concejo municipal reformas urbanas urgentes, pues la ciudad había sufrido graves deterioros. La propuesta incluía la transformación de la calle Ancha en un bulevar al estilo de las avenidas de París, con sillas de madera, árboles, postes de luz y un camellón que sirviera para reuniones y ágora de la comunidad. La obra fue entregada el 7 de abril de 1886 y el pueblo la denominó camellón Abello. El 4 de diciembre de 1930, el alcalde Nicolás Llinás Vega presenta un Acuerdo, posteriormente aprobado por el Concejo municipal, para demoler el camellón, desmontar sillas y árboles con miras a pavimentación y constitución de parqueadero con el nombre de paseo Colón. El 18 de marzo de 1931 el diario La Prensa reseñaba: "La reciente pavimentación del paseo Colón y su cualidad de vía más importante de la ciudad". En 1910, en el extremo norte de la calle se había ubicado la estatua de Cristóbal Colón obsequiada por la colonia italiana en 1892 con motivo de los cuatrocientos años del Descubrimiento de América. En 1937, el paseo de Colón es transformado en paseo de Bolívar al reemplazar la estatua de Colón por la de Simón Bolívar, la cual había sido regalada a la ciudad por el ciudadano Andrés Obregón en 1919 con ocasión del centenario de la independencia definitiva de Colombia.

A partir de los años 1960, el centro experimenta un proceso progresivo de deterioro a causa de factores como la migración masiva del campesinado a las ciudades, la invasión del espacio público, la indigencia y una creciente delincuencia. En consecuencia, las distintas empresas que tenían allí su sede, la banca, el comercio organizado y los residentes del centro se desplazan hacia otros sectores de la ciudad, condenando al abandono a este importante sector de la ciudad que, sin embargo, es todavía el más importante en términos económicos. A partir de los años 1990 se han creado distintas organizaciones cívicas para la recuperación del centro de Barranquilla, lo que se ha logrado en parte con la reactivación del comercio alcanzada por empresarios de otras regiones del país y el proyecto de restauración promovido por el Ministerio de Cultura en 2008.

Problemática

A partir de los años 1960 el centro entró en franca decadencia. Se atestó de vendedores ambulantes y estacionarios que invadieron el espacio público, se convirtió en un lugar repleto de basuras, y se volvió peligroso a causa de una creciente delincuencia y a la proliferación de indigentes. Por tales razones, el comercio formal, la banca y los pocos residentes que quedaban se desplazaron hacia el norte de la ciudad y otros sectores, abandonando las antiguas edificaciones y condenándolas a un paulatino deterioro. Dichas construcciones presentan un aspecto ruinoso, además de encontrarse invadidas de todo tipo de comercio y vendedores informales.

El centro histórico es el área con mayor degradación ambiental a nivel de contaminación atmosférica, contaminación por ruido, contaminación visual y manejo de residuos sólidos, los cuales afectan principalmente a los caños de la ciudad.

A pesar del abandono, el centro sigue siendo el núcleo de la ciudad y su sector más representativo e importante en términos económicos. Concentra una intensa actividad comercial en sinergia con el aledaño mercado público.

Presente y futuro

Barranquilla ha experimentado, a partir de los años 1980, una toma de conciencia por parte de su dirigencia y de la ciudadanía en general, en cuanto a la preservación de su memoria urbana. En ese marco, la ciudad ha emprendido la restauración y protección de los sectores y las edificaciones en que se escenificó el surgimiento, el desarrollo y la expansión de la ciudad, muchos de los cuales se encuentran en estado de deterioro y abandono. El viejo centro fue definido como el eje de dicha transformación urbana por ser precisamente el sector en el que nació la ciudad y alrededor del cual se desarrollaron, casi exclusivamente, las más importantes actividades socioeconómicas, políticas y culturales de la urbe hasta hace unas décadas. Gracias a los últimos gobiernos y a los sectores económicos que tienen su asiento allí, el centro se ha revitalizado en los últimos años a través de la restauración de algunos inmuebles, la reconstrucción de sus calles, la ampliación del paseo de Bolívar y el mejoramiento de sectores aledaños que inciden en el sector, como se hizo con la restauración del antiguo edificio de la Aduana y su conversión en complejo cultural, y la construcción del Parque Cultural del Caribe. También se han establecido allí nuevos almacenes con el impulso de comerciantes provenientes del interior del país.

Para el centro de Barranquilla se han diseñado en los últimos veinticinco años varios proyectos ambiciosos e integrales, debidamente articulados con el resto de la ciudad y la región, como el propuesto en 1985 por la Misión Japonesa de la agencia JICA, que buscan no solamente su restauración y conservación, sino su reactivación y proyección internacional con miras a posicionar la ciudad como polo de desarrollo económico de la cuenca del Caribe, aprovechando la gran cantidad de inmuebles disponibles y la completa infraestructura de servicios públicos del centro, además de la estratégica posición de la ciudad. En 1990 se constituyó la Empresa de Desarrollo Urbano de Barranquilla, Edubar S.A., sociedad de economía mixta, con el objetivo de ejecutar el Macroproyecto de Renovación Urbana del Distrito Central de Barranquilla, como resultante de los planes y estudios orientados por
la Misión Japonesa.

La recuperación del centro está reglamentada por el decreto N.º 0117 del 29 de julio de 2005, "por el cual se adopta el plan parcial para la protección, rehabilitación, recuperación y revitalización integral del Centro Histórico del Distrito Industrial y Portuario de Barranquilla"; la ley 9 de 1989, Reforma Urbana; la ley 99 de 1993, Sistema Nacional Ambiental; la ley 388 de 1997, Ordenamiento Territorial; la Ley 397 de 1997, Ley de Cultura; la Ley 768 de 2002, Ley de Distritos; el Plan de Ordenamiento Distrital Barranquilla; la Resolución N.º 1614 de 1999, Declaratoria del centro histórico de Barranquilla como Bien
de Interés Cultural de Carácter Nacional; el Plan de Desarrollo 2004, 2007 "Acuerdo Social
por la ciudad", Decreto 0117 del 29 de julio de 2005, Plan Parcial del Centro Histórico de
Barranquilla; y la Resolución 0746 del 21 de julio de 2005, Plan Especial de Protección del
Centro Histórico.

Desde los años 1990, tanto la empresa privada como el sector público han presentado distintos proyectos habitacionales y comerciales que se espera se hagan realidad en próximos años.

Restauración

La recuperación del centro histórico de Barranquilla recibe el espaldarazo definitivo del gobierno nacional en 2008 con la convocatoria del Ministerio de Cultura para el «Concurso Público de Anteproyecto Arquitectónico para el Diseño de Diferentes Sectores Urbanos para la Recuperación del Espacio Público del Centro Histórico de Barranquilla».

En noviembre de 2008, el Ministerio de Cultura anunció el ganador del diseño del proyecto de recuperación del centro histórico de Barranquilla. La ganadora fue la firma OPUS - Oficina de Proyectos Urbanos, la cual recibirá el contrato de consultoría para la elaboración de los diseños definitivos del proyecto por una cuantía de $1.116.107.019.
El proyecto, financiado con un aporte del ciento por ciento del Ministerio de Cultura, incluye la elaboración del diseño y los estudios técnicos de los espacios públicos:
 Plaza de San Nicolás. Compuesto por la iglesia de San Nicolás y la plaza del mismo nombre. Se inició su restauración en 2009, las obras se inauguraron el 16 de marzo de 2011.
 Conjunto San José. Integrado por el parque de la Independencia o plaza de San José, la Biblioteca Departamental y la iglesia de San José (calles 38 a 40, carreras 36 a 40).
 Conjunto San Roque. Conformado por la iglesia de San Roque, la plaza de San Roque y su entorno (calles 30 a 31, carreras 36 a 38).
 Paseo de las Palmas. Comprendido entre las calles 38 y 45, carreras 40 y 41, incluye el antiguo parque de los Locutores o de los Enamorados.
 Plaza del Hospital General. Integra el Hospital General de Barranquilla con la prolongación del paseo de Bolívar (calles 31 a 34, carreras 35 a 38).

En marzo de 2012 se anunció la financiación de las obras Conjunto San José, Conjunto San Roque y plaza del Hospital General, así como la recuperación del espacio público, mediante el cobro del impuesto de valorización II. Asimismo, se recuperarán otros espacios del mercado que tienen influencia en el centro histórico, como el mejoramiento urbano en el sector de El Boliche y la recuperación y mejoramiento de espacios públicos en Barranquillita.

Patrimonio

El centro histórico de Barranquilla alberga gran cantidad de edificaciones de los distintos periodos de la arquitectura colombiana: republicano (estilos neoclásico, barroco tardío español o neocolonial); la Transición (estilo art déco), del Movimiento Moderno y Más Reciente, de inmenso valor histórico y arquitectónico, por lo que ha recibido el carácter de Bien de Interés Cultural de Carácter Nacional y, por tanto, sus edificaciones no pueden ser alteradas ni demolidas.

From "Islamist Watch" to Islamic Mimbar: the Politics of Hypocrisy
Raheel Raza leads a group of Muslims in prayer in Canada
By Huma Dar
On Thursday, June 10, 2010, Jerome Taylor, the Religious Affairs Correspondent of The Independent posted an article headlined, "First Woman to Lead Friday Prayers in UK." Two-thirds of the way down this article, we find that:
"Ms Raza's appearance in Oxford is a repeat of a similar prayer session in 2008 which was led by Amina Wadud, an American-born convert and Muslim feminist. But this is the first time a Muslim-born woman will lead a mixed prayer service in Britain."
Taylor's differentiation between "American-born convert" and "Muslim-born woman" and labeling of the latter as the "first woman" in the headline creates a false hierarchy and subtly delegitimizes Dr. Wadud, a leading Muslim scholar and author of Qur'an and Woman: Rereading the Sacred Text from a Woman's Perspective, a path-breaking text in the study of gender and Islam. Taylor's late admission of "repeat" after the (mis)leading announcement of "First" in the bold headline does not quite cover up for the critical sins of omission and commission, especially as Raheel Raza, the Pakistani-Canadian woman leading the prayer at Oxford, is neither an 'Alima or a scholar of Islam nor is she known for her advocacy of Muslims at large.
In fact Raza is a rather polarizing figure amongst Muslims in North America and her record does not indicate much learning in the letter or spirit of Islam, as in speaking truth to power and standing with the oppressed. An article of Raza's published on November 2008, in the conservative magazine, The American Thinker, describes her as a "write[r] for Islamist Watch, a project at the Middle East Forum." Directed by the famous Islamophobe Daniel Pipes, this forum also runs the "anti-scholarship and anti-university" McCarthyite project Campus Watch, roundly critiqued by the likes of Joseph Massad and Judith Butler amongst others. The Muslimah Media Watch has an excellent critique of Raza's article in a post "Truth or Scare: Raheel Raza's Fear Mongering" where Sobia gives ample and convincing evidence of Raza's crass political opportunism and her adroitness at labeling her detractors as "Islamist" to rise up in estimation of the powers-that-be: the "good Muslim" par excellence!
The critical issue to contemplate here then is the ethics of exacerbating, even if "just" discursively, the current Islamophobic hysteria that has already been responsible for the deaths of more than a million human beings in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan, and counting. In this era of perpetual war can we afford to ignore the politics of hypocrisy and Islamophobia? Given this consideration, unfortunately, Raza hardly seems like a Muslim one would want to follow in any way whatsoever: in the Masjid or on the High Street – in much the same way one would avoid praying behind Bin Laden. It is significant to note here that the purported binary construction of "spiritual" and "political" obfuscates their sometimes overlapping and often mutually constitutive aspects. Spirituality is not divorced from politics, but can potentially be the fount of most, if not all, politics — at least in the religiously inclined, one hopes.
To some who express concern that we might want to hold back on critique so as not to discourage women from leading prayers publicly, my response is that it is precisely the uncritical celebration of people like Raza leading a Friday prayer that is insulting and detrimental to our very legitimate struggle for gender-justice, perhaps unwittingly so. It assumes as an a priori that Raza is one of the best – most erudite and pious – amongst us Muslim women, or that the pool is very small and other potential Muslim women imams would not have the discernment to avoid being discouraged by a justified ethico-political critique of Raza. This is in spite of very loud warnings of what can at best be Raza's ignorance and at worst be the signs of major character flaws: being a sell-out or a native informant to the likes of Daniel Pipes and Phyllis Chesler.
Gender alone cannot be the sole criterion of choosing an Imam – or a President for that matter. Yes, given all other variables being virtually equivalent, I, personally, would choose to support a woman Imam, not only because I am a woman, but also to correct widely prevalent socio-historical inequities. In my mind, to think otherwise, to choose "less than the best" (in Raza's case: "far from the best") as an implicit act of charity, is to assume that there are no (or fewer) women amongst the best of us. If any "affirmative action" is needed, it is to make all centers of theological study, all universities, all masaajid, all madaaris, all debates open and genuinely hospitable to all genders, as well as to all others who have been historically marginalized.

I am looking for a part-time or full-time nanny or babysitting job. I love children and have looked after children from 6months to 8 years but only for family and family friends. I have a police clearance and am willing to get a working with children check. Other experience I have is that I did my high school work experience at a primary school working with children from pre-primary to year 4. I have completed two years of a Social Work degree but am taking a year or two for myself at the current time. I am willing to do some housework and light cooking however I am not too good at cooking large or complex meals. My hobbies include reading, animals, sports and photography.
I am willing to work 5 days a week and occasionally 6 days a week. I use public transport to get around and do not mind walking. I am willing to work any hours but would prefer hours between 8am-5pm. Outside these hours I will have to work out public transport.
Thank you for looking at my profile. I hope to hear from you soon.
I am interested in working 3 - 9 hours per day, and 3 - 6 days per week.
Dietary Needs: I am gluten free but this should not affect my work as I would bring my own food.

If you're visiting Roatan via cruise ship, you'll either be coming into the Port of Roatan in Coxen Hole or Mahogany Bay outside of French Harbour. Jolly Roger Roatan offers door-to-door service for cruise ship passengers who book our tour. Whichever port you come into, we'll be there smiling and ready to pick you up!
Depending on your time in port in Roatan, you might have time before or after your tour with us to enjoy more of our beautiful island. If you're coming into Mahogany Bay Cruise Port, here's what you can expect to find for services and entertainment.
Mahogany Bay Cruise Port was designed and is owned by Carnival Corporation. The cruise company built the port here to offer a base for all Carnival family ships, including Carnival, Princess, Holland America, Regent Seven Seas, and Oceania ships. Costa, Thomson, and P&O also dock at Mahogany Bay.
The port is located on Roatan's southern shore, centrally between the eastern and western tips of the island. The Jolly Roger marina is located just around the corner from Mahogany Bay, making it very convenient and efficient for our guests. In fact, if you take a Western Caribbean Cruise to Mahogany Bay, we will pick you up directly at the port with our catamaran. No buses, no driving, just straight from your cruise ship to our cat.
If you have time before or after our tour to enjoy the port, there is plenty to entertain you. Take the magical chair lift or walk from the port hub down to the beach, where you'll find restaurants and bars. There are lounge chairs there, though there is no real coral reef for any snorkeling from the beach area. That's why we pick up at the port but head out a good distance to our favorite snorkeling sites.
When you disembark from your cruise ship, you'll walk down the pier until you reach the large Duty Free shop. From the shop you walk uphill until you reach the central hub of the port at the main water fountain.
Surrounding the fountain are shops, a café, and a bar. Head left to exit the port for all other activities or head right toward the Mahogany Bay beach and restaurants.
The Jolly Roger tour meets by the water fountain. You'll notice many tour operators there with signs for their respective tours, so be sure to look out for our catamaran sailing and snorkeling sign!
Once you fill out your paperwork and we have all our guests ready to go, we'll walk down the pier to our waiting catamaran. If you have any mobility restrictions, please let your cruise ship shore excursion team know so we can best accommodate you.
