This page is intended to explain Freemasonry as it is practiced under the United Grand Lodge of England, which administers Lodges of Freemasons in England and Wales and in many places overseas. The explanation may correct some misconceptions. Freemasonry is a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values. Its members are taught its precepts by a series of ritual dramas, which follow ancient forms and use stonemasons’ customs and tools as allegorical guides.
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations. Many believe its roots lie in the traditions and ceremonies of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles. Some rituals are still celebrated today.
Freemasonry has always been about making good men better and as Freemasons we aim to shape our lives round five core principles:
Integrity: We say what we mean and we keep our promises.
Kindness: Although our families come first, we believe in playing a key role in our communities and give time and money to charitable ventures.
Honesty: We pride ourselves on openness, about what being a Freemason means for us.
Fairness: We treat everyone as equal – we listen to others, explore any differences and look for common ground.
Tolerance: We respect the opinions of others and behave with understanding towards them.
YOU MAY ASK THE QUESTION ‘IS FREEMASONRY FOR ME?’
Freemasonry means different things to each individual – making new friends, contributing to society, celebrating a long tradition, experiencing personal growth, taking up a hobby, being part of a group supporting charities and those in need, meeting and dining with like-minded individuals, having fun.

Photo booths are fun! They can inspire goofiness in just about anyone.
For my first project with the Raspberry Pi I built a photo booth for a party. This was a great project for learning to tinker with photography and electronics on the Pi. People were happy with the booth, and curious how it was built, so I thought I'd share what I learned.
This project tutorial assumes a very basic knowledge of linux/bash and the ability to solder a simple circuit.
Overview: four main components of the booth
Parts needed for the controller:
Powered USB hub
GPIO ribbon cable
Perma-proto-board Pi cobbler
LED-illuminated momentary contact switch
LED indicator lights
wire for making connections
soldering iron and solder
SD card reader
computer to set up the SD card
monitor/TV with HDMI
USB keyboard and mouse
Do you already have your RPi with Raspbian installed and can access it through SSH? Then skip to Step 2: Connect the Camera. Otherwise, grab your RPi, an SD card, an SD card reader, and another computer and:
1) Prepare an SD card with a Raspbian install
2) Boot up and configure
Enable the SSH server during configuration, so you can run your RPi headless, i.e., without a monitor or keyboard, via the command line from a remote terminal.
3) Set up a network connection
Open Midori to test if you are connected to the internet. Then, once you are successfully connected, open a terminal window and type "sudo ifconfig" to get your ethernet IP address; write down this number (something like 10.0.1.19).
4) and lastly, set up SSH
Log in to your RPi from another computer on the network. Now you're ready for the next step.

‘Black people don’t feel pain’ is a statement that I and many people within the Black community have heard one too many times. This myth has affected our access to care and has systematically contributed to us being undertreated for pain. This stereotype is a hindrance, allowing medical racism to become more systemic.
It is a proven fact that Black people and other ethnic minority groups are not receiving the same quality of treatment as their counterparts. In 2020, 64% of Black Britons were reported as not believing that their health is as protected by the NHS compared to white people.
When I had the opportunity to speak with people living with sickle cell disease (which predominately affects those of African and Caribbean descent) through our client Global Blood Therapeutics, I was saddened to hear how their severely painful episodes were ignored and not taken seriously. This further emphasized the importance of my role as a Black health communicator; the stories we tell and the work we do goes beyond our jobs.
I’m further reminded of this responsibility this Black History Month, themed “Proud to Be”. 2020 was a hard year for us – not only were we tackling COVID-19, but the period also exposed how blatant racism, inequality, and injustice are in our society. I often found myself feeling lost and disheartened, but also proud to be a part of a community that wants to affect change through movements like Black Lives Matter.
Almost two years later, I still find myself asking if enough is being done to address racism in health care. How do we challenge these implicit biases and effect change? First, the healthcare industry must begin to understand that racism and discrimination is the root cause of our health inequalities and subsequent outcomes. Next, it must begin to address implicit biases and take responsibility for resolving the problem. Thirdly, leaders must improve and enforce industry practices and medical education that promote equality for all. Finally, they should create workplace environments where Black people feel safe and empowered. This includes challenging the barriers that stop us from achieving leadership positions.
As healthcare communication professionals, we have an important responsibility to amplify the voices of marginalised communities and do whatever we can to reduce racial bias, both in pain perception and treatment accuracy. Our pain is real and it’s time for more of us to stand up to challenge fantastical stereotypes and mistaken beliefs.

The University of Washington-Korea Studies Program, in collaboration with Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, is proud to publish the Journal of Korean Studies. In 1979 Dr. James Palais (PhD Harvard 1968), former UW professor of Korean History edited and published the first volume of the Journal of Korean Studies. For thirteen years it was a leading academic forum for innovative, in-depth research on Korea. In 2004 former editors Gi-Wook Shin and John Duncan revived this outstanding publication at Stanford University. In August 2008 editorial responsibility transferred back to the University of Washington. With the editorial guidance of Clark Sorensen and Donald Baker, the Journal of Korean Studies (JKS) continues to be dedicated to publishing outstanding articles, from all disciplines, on a broad range of historical and contemporary topics concerning Korea. In addition the JKS publishes reviews of the latest Korea-related books. To subscribe to the Journal of Korean Studies or order print back issues, please click here.
This third volume of The Journal Of Claude Fredericks is his journal for the year 1943, a Wanderjahr that begins with a spring in Cambridge, where Volume Two ended, but with Fredericks, having left studies at Harvard, living now in a room at Maud Bemiss house on Nutting Road near the Cowley Fathers, seeing various friends from earlier, Brie Taylor, John Simon, Anthony Clark, Paul Doguereau, the George Sartons, and making new friends as well. The summer is spent in a cabin on the shore near Belfast Maine, writing and studying still and coming to know the family that lives on the hill. In September, after spending ten days with Paul Doguereau and Fanny Mason in Walpole New Hampshire on the beautiful Mason estate overlooking the Connecticut and a month in New York living in an apartment on University Place and seeing his friend May Sarton and coming to know Muriel Rukeyser and Julian Beck, he heads with his friend William Quinn to Iowa to live with several friends of theirs who also have left Harvard, in particular Michael Millen and Paul Rail, all of them proclaiming in different ways, as Quinn and Fredericks do in theirs, their objections to Americas part in the war that had begun in December 1941. After two weeks Fredericks leaves to stay with a friend in Chicago, Martha Johnson, and to settle in and write about the troubling events of the previous days and then go on to Missouri, to pay filial pieties to members of his family there and after that go south with his mother to Mexico City for a week and then with her to Acapulco for ten days at Christmas, a spot at that time still undiscovered and with only two small hotels. Finally at the years end he heads back east to New York, where he has plans to settle down and live forever, in the city he had always loved the most of any he knew.
The last four decades have seen a substantial progress in the study of the Book of Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus) on the literary, historical, theological, and sociological level. The discovery of the Hebrew Ben Sira Scroll at Masada in 1964 and the find of Hebrew Ben Sira fragments among the Dead Sea Scrolls were crucial landmarks to encourage serious investigation into this deuterocanonical document. Nowadays the Book of Ben Sira, which originates from the early second Century B.C.E., is recognized more and more as being an outstanding document of Jewish wisdom literature and an important link between the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. Following a general introduction into the major topics of recent Ben Sira research, this volume offers a detailed study of several passages that are crucial to the book's history, its content and structure. Important theological issues, such as 'canon and scripture', 'prophets and prophecy', 'theodicee', and 'God's mercy', are discussed as well. This study concludes with some essays relating to the Hebrew text(s) of the Book of Ben Sira.

The World Health Organisation says Gaza's biggest hospital is "virtually a cemetery" with bodies piling up inside and out.
A mass grave has been dug at Al Shifa Hospital and a doctor says there are now 200 bodies in total that have been buried in the hospital grounds.
US President Joe Biden says Gaza's hospitals "must be protected", amid allegations from Israel that Hamas is using hospitals to coordinate attacks.
Hamas denies that their fighters hide under hospitals, as do Gazan health officials and hospital directors.
The UN says only one hospital in northern Gaza remains operational as strikes by the Israeli military leave medics fighting to keep patients, including premature babies, alive.

I am from Sydney Australia,
And own a 1982 Suzuki Katana 7/11.
Noticed you have fork extensions.
Am trying to fit 07 Bandit 1250 forks to my spare Kat and maybe those fork extensions might be a fit.
Can you tell me what size they are and the thread pitch as well. My forks are 43mm...
Just arrived here,
well I need a some suggestion regarding rider jackets for Halloween,
I saw some pretty good jackets on Halloween Coupon code 2019, and I pick out 2 jackets pic shown below.
Can you guys help me to pick one in these jackets,
Which one is best or suitable for Halloween?
Has anyone here replaced their steering head bearings? If so...how did you remove the bearing 'race' that is on the lower yoke? This thing...
The internet suggests
- using a chisel
- using an angle grinder
- using a dremel
- using two screwdrivers
- using some sort of special tool
Just wondering if this is normal on a 650 Alp - there seems to be a serial / engine / VIN number party visible on the clocks - Not sure what or why it’s like that you’d think the entire number should be seen????
My "front-end" saga continues with the discovery of seized brake caliper pistons and brittle caliper piston seals (that have been in there since 2001)
Having never done this before.....Is this piston good for re-use? It seems to slide in and out of the bore ok, but looks a bit pitted/scored?
I have a set of headers that were sold to me as for a 600. they came as a complete exhaust with the standard muffler. But the front pipe is clearly set for a 650. However there is no catalytic converter. Am I right after research that they will be from the very early 650 before 1992?. Please...
Im just about to start wiring my dommie project.
I have created a wiring diagram, and was hoping someone could give it a quick look over and give me feedback on any mistakes.
Also thought it may be handy for other people to use, (if its correct)
Just asking if anybody has experience with JT’s rubber front sprocket on the XRV?
We all know why many use the OE Honda front sprocket but since they cost about €30-35 and the JT cost about €15-20 it could be just as good..
Just for reference the JT sprocket is JTF296-16RB.
I really love the looks of the AT, but to me the rear light and plastic protector don't do the bike justice. So I relocated the rear light to sit flush with the fairing and removed the plastic protector (I know, not practical, but hey, stripe of dirt on the back adds to my image...)
Hello, I was changing my main air filter over the weekend and decided to have a look at the "sub filter" too. part nr 17259-MCB-610, it pretty much disintegrated when i was cleaning it....
so have two question's
what does it do (i like to know these things)
what can I replace it with, as there...

A permanent anchor point that welds directly to the axle
Mac's Weld-On Axle Housing Bracket is made from 1/4" steel tube which is cut on a tube laser then tumbled for a smooth finish. Designed to be low-lying and to perfectly accept our Twisted Snap Hook, the Mac's Weld-On Axle Housing Bracket creates the perfect permanent tie-down point on nearly any vehicle.
Prevent Strap Abrasion and Avoid Critical Vehicle Components
Axle Strap vs Weld-On Axle Housing Bracket
The Weld-On Axle Housing Bracket removes the need for an axle strap, thus creating an abrasion-free tie-down situation. Instead of routing an axle strap over potentially sharp areas, simply clip a ratchet strap to the bracket and run it out to your tie-down point.
In addition, by eliminating the need for an axle strap, you also eliminate possible contact with critical vehicle components such as brake lines, wires, and hoses that may be in the way when tying down around the axle.
This is also an excellent solution for off-road vehicles that have modified axles or axle trusses, which can be bulky or have rough edges. Mount a pair of these brackets prior to adding your choice of finish and you'll have a beautiful, permanent tie-down point.
Suitable for a variety of vehicles
Examples of various applications for the Weld-On Axle Housing Bracket
The updated design of the Mac's Weld-On Axle Housing Bracket makes it a great fit for a wide variety of vehicles.
Use this bracket on low-profile vehicles to avoid spending time on the ground and under the vehicle when tying down to the axle. When installed on classic cars, it helps prevent damage to paint and body, as the only point of contact for the strap becomes the bracket itself. The shape and size of this bracket will fit a wide variety of axle diameters.
Installing the Weld-On Axle Housing Bracket
To install this bracket, select the correct position for the bracket based on your vehicle and needs, clean off a spot on the housing, and weld the curved portion of the bracket directly to the axle. Check out our installation video to the right!
Made in the USA
The Mac's Weld-On Axle Housing Bracket is made right here in Idaho. This allows us to have superior quality control and supports American jobs!

You’ve probably observed more and more riders are on bikes that look "different" on your trails. Bikes that have wheels and tires of gigantic proportion – and we’re not talking about 29ers here. The thing is, even though fat bikes were created to float on top of snow, they’re just too damn fun not to ride on dirt. So how do you amplify your fat bike adventures even further? With a supercharged, ultra efficient, first of its kind fat suspension fork called Bluto. We started with the features you’ve come to love from RockShox: Fast Black aluminum upper tubes, stout 15mm Maxle, remote or crown adjustable damping, tapered steer tube, and the infinitely tunable Solo Air spring. Then, the chassis got the fat treatment by re-engineering it to meet the unique needs of fat tires and wheels. Everything from crown, to arch, to axle has been optimized to tackle the increased torsional loads of its wide stance.

Super Bowl Sunday is always the biggest day of the year for football fans, but it was also a “super” day for several of Delaware North’s gaming properties.
“Honestly, the Super Bowl is like our New Year’s Eve of sports,” said Kim Florence, Delaware North’s regional president and general manager at Wheeling Island Hotel Casino-Racetrack in Wheeling, W.Va., in a local media article prior to the game. “We’re going to have a lot of people hanging out and cheering on the game. That’s always a lot of fun. It adds a whole other element to what we do here at the casino, and it’s a great night to come out and see it.”
Wheeling Island, which opened an onsite sportsbook when sports betting became legal in West Virginia in 2018, saw a lot of interest in bets on the big game.
“The fact that it’s legalized in so many states across the United States, this will be the biggest handle across the country of legalized sports betting ever. It’s pretty exciting,” said Matt Watson, sportsbook manager at the casino. “We have Super Bowl MVP options. We have things like the coin toss, which is one of the most popular bets you’ll ever see. More money is decided on the coin toss than the game in a lot of places. We probably won’t see that here, but it’s an exciting novelty bet. You can bet on things like
the color of the Gatorade that will go on the coach.”
Miami Valley Gaming knew its patrons would have their minds on the game with the hometown Cincinnati Bengals making their first appearance in the championship game since 1989. The gaming venue, which Delaware North jointly owns with Churchill Downs Inc., is located in Lebanon, Ohio, just a 30-minute drive from Cincinnati.
To accommodate the local interest, Miami Valley shifted its live harness racing program to earlier in the day so race patrons could watch the game at the property or elsewhere, according to Craig Robinson, president and general manager of the venue.
Meanwhile, Catawba Two Kings Casino in Kings Mountain, N.C., held a “Big Game Squares Tailgater” event on the day before the Super Bowl. It gave select players from the Lucky North loyalty program a chance to participate in a traditional “squares” contest while enjoying tailgate-style food and beverage offerings.
The casino, for which Delaware North serves as a consultant, is planning to add an onsite sportsbook later this year at its temporary gaming venue.

The NSW government’s exit from the current lockdown in Sydney and other parts of the state from October 11 will not allow indoor water facilities to reopen until December.
While gyms and fitness centers will reopen once a 70% vaccination target is met, with a limit of 20 people per class, current NSW government advice does not include indoor aquatic facilities in its plan to reopen the state at 70% or 80%. vaccination rate.
While an easing of restrictions in Greater Sydney allowed the opening of outdoor pools from last Monday, but indoor pools are to remain closed.
According to advice from the NSW government, “As of Monday, September 27, 2021, you will be able to resume swimming in public outdoor pools either in your local government area or within 3 miles of your home.
âIndoor recreation facilities such as squash courts, indoor pools, gymnasiums, table tennis centers, fitness studios, bowling alleys and ice rinks must close. “
Under current arrangements, vaccinated and unvaccinated people can share the same public swimming pools, as the NSW government does not require clients or staff to be vaccinated.
However, most aquatic centers limit the number of people by setting up reservation procedures.
In response to the ongoing closures, Olympic swimming star Emma McKeon said the ongoing closures “would put lives at risk.”
McKeon won seven medals at the Tokyo Olympics, including four gold, to become Australia’s most decorated Olympian.
McKeon, whose family runs a swimming learning center in Wollongong, said it was especially crucial to resume learning to swim classes as soon as possible, especially as summer approaches.
She said that with swimming pools closed and many children unable to take swimming lessons for at least six months due to the pandemic, the risk of increased drownings will only get worse the longer the government waits to reopen. indoor pools.
McKeon wrote âIt is of great concern that the NSW government has not included indoor swimming pools in the plan to reopen the state at the 70% or 80% vaccination rate.
âWe’re heading into summer and the kids haven’t been able to have swimming lessons for six months or more if we wait until December to open the swimming schools.
âKeeping indoor pools closed will put lives at risk.
âLast year, after shorter confinement, there was a 108% increase in drownings among 0-4 year olds. Learning to swim is an essential service. #watersafety #swimming lessons #learntoswim #mckeonswiming.
Olympic champions Grant Hackett and Michael Klim each supported McKeon’s message, while Olympic silver medalist Maddie Groves added, “Good on you Em.”
Gyms facing unique challenges
Commenting on the imminent opening of the fitness facilities, Fitness Australia Managing Director Barrie Elvish was quoted by 9 News as saying that one of the difficulties the gyms were struggling with was its young clientele, which included people were less likely to be vaccinated because of where they were seated. vaccine deployment.
9 News quoted Elvish as saying that “one of the largest unvaccinated groups is the 20-40 age group, but this age group is also the largest membership base for gyms.
“So when the total eligible population reaches 70% vaccinated, gyms will likely only have about 50% of eligible members vaccinated.”
Elvish said some gyms could therefore have viability issues with reopening until December, while noting that there was also a “pretty noisy minority” in the same age group who were either hesitant about the vaccination, or completely anti-vaccination.

DJ Ian Cottrell
10:00pm | £10 | 18+
Twrw x Tafwyl
Mark Lugg and Gareth Potter join together once again with their band for a special live gig at Clwb Ifor Bach!
Lugg and Potter’s band Traddodiad Ofnus were part of the original underground organisation, with their tracks included on the iconic collection ‘Gadael yr Ugeinfed Ganrif’ from Anrhefn label.
The band went on to record the LP Welsh Tourist Bored for the German indie label, Contstrictor, and EP I Ankst in the late 80’s. After leaving the band, Gareth recorded Pop Negatif Wastad before the duo came back together to record and perform under the Ty Gwydr name.
The ReuVival show will take songs from all era’s and play them in a set that will take us on a journey from the spiky post-punk and funk of the 80’s to the electro pop, hip hop, rave/techno and house of Ty Gwydr and their immortal clubnight REU.
This promises to be a unique and historical night not to miss out on.

System Shock Remake Delayed To 2018
Earlier this year, Nightdive studios raised over $1.3 million on Kickstarter for a full-fledged remake of the original System Shock for PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. While the remake is still on the way, fans and backers will have to wait quite a a bit longer to get their hands on the fruits of Nightdive's labor, as the game's projected launch date has moved from December 2017 to the second quarter of 2018.
The news comes via this month's update on the project from Nightdive. Along with the news of the delay, the studio says that it is "not sure if it will be a simultaneous launch [on all platforms], but we’ll do our best."
Finally, the team released a new piece of concept art for the game (found below) to tide fans over for the month. While you wait for the full game to launch, you can watch us play the demo, or play the demo for yourself.

While it's unfortunate to have to wait an additional year for this remake, it was already far enough removed from release that I don't mind it too much.

Colorado Springs and Pueblo Make April’s Top 10 List on Realtor.com®
For the third consecutive month, Colorado Springs, Colo., continued its streak as the hottest housing market in the nation, according to realtor.com®’s monthly housing report.
Realtor.com® bases its monthly rankings on which markets’ home listings sites visitors frequent the most as well as where homes are selling the fastest. In Colorado Springs, homes sold in a median of 32 days last month, which is twice as fast as the rest of the nation. The market also received twice as many views on its online listings than the national average.
The hottest housing markets in the nation continue to be smaller, more affordable cities, realtor.com® reports.
“We’re seeing the continuation of earlier trends where we don’t expect the smaller, more affordable markets to cool down anytime soon,” says Javier Vivas, director of economic research for realtor.com®. But “for markets to remain hot, they’ll need to have an abundant supply of homes and a thriving job market.”
The COVID-19 pandemic is still taking a toll on many housing markets. In only four of the top 20 markets on this month’s realtor.com® list did homes sell faster this April than a year ago. But that is an improvement over March—the onset of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S.—when days on market were down in all housing markets tracked.
Pueblo, Colo., about 45 minutes south of Colorado Springs, was the only market to see more views per property and post an improving number of days on the market.
“Homebuying demand has been pushed out of the bigger cities and into adjacent, [smaller] cities that tend to be lower-priced,” Vivas says.
The hottest housing markets in April were:
- Colorado Springs, Colo.
- Fort Wayne, Ind.
- Topeka, Kan.
- Pueblo, Colo.
- Columbus, Ohio
- Modesto, Calif.
- Manchester, N.H.
- Lafayette, Ind.
- Sacramento, Calif.
- Fresno, Calif.

Tax resolution company use television, radio, and the internet to assist taxpayers in financial trouble. If you pay an upfront fee that could be hundreds of dollars, they claim that they can cut down or reduce your tax liabilities and stop the collection of back taxes by submitting applications to legal IRS assistance programs. In reality, most taxpayers aren’t eligible to participate in the schemes these scammers promote. Their companies do not settle the tax debt, and, in many cases, they don’t even submit the required documents to the IRS to request to participate in these programs discussed. To make matters worse, some of these businesses don’t offer refunds and can leave taxpayers even more in debt.
A few taxpayers who complained before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) stated that having signed up to a few of these firms in exchange for thousands in upfront costs, they were able to take more of their cash by creating unauthorized charges on their credit cards or by taking withdrawals from their accounts at banks. We will discuss more tax resolution company
If you have a tax bill to pay and aren’t sure how you’re paying the amount and aren’t sure how to pay it, the FTC, the country’s Consumer Protection Agency, advises you to don’t panic; just take your breath and look at your alternatives. If you’re having trouble paying bills, it’s more beneficial to figure out a payment plan with the creditor on your own rather than engage a third party to negotiate a solution for you. This is also true if you have a debt to the IRS or the state comptroller.
IRS Help for Taxpayers
Since we are discussing a tax resolution company. If you owe tax, however, you’re unable to pay IRS completely, you might consider filing your Installment Agreement Request (Form 9465) along with your tax return. In certain circumstances, there are certain circumstances where the IRS will not refuse an application for an installment agreement even if you have a debt of under $10,000. But, you should make sure to pay as much as you can on your tax return. You’ll be charged interest and maybe a penalty for late payments for any tax that is not paid by the due date, regardless of whether the application for an installment agreement is granted. You can stay clear of IRS collections notices and other actions such as an IRS notice of federal tax lien, or an IRS levy, by signing an installment agreement in advance and making the installments.
If you are owed back taxes, There are a variety of IRS tax-relief programs that can assist, including the IRS’s Fresh Start initiative:
An Installment Agreement is usually for those unable to pay off their tax debt all at once. It allows individuals to make smaller payments monthly until the debt is settled.
In its Fresh Start initiative, the IRS increased the minimum threshold for streamlined installment agreements between $25,000 and $50,000 of tax debt and extended the maximum term of repayment from five to six years. Taxpayers with debts less than $50,000 can make an online application to the IRS and do not need to fill out the IRS collection information statement (Form 433-A or 433B, or 433-F).
The Offer In Compromise (OIC) allows taxpayers to pay off their tax debts less than they have to pay. The OIC is a crucial instrument to assist people with restricted circumstances. Taxpayers can only avail of it after all the other payment options are exhausted.
In the Fresh Start initiative, the IRS extended the OIC program to include an increased number of struggling taxpayers. However, it is important to note that the IRS will not consider any offer when it believes that the tax liability can be paid in full in an unpaid lump sum or via the installment arrangement. The IRS provides advice on choosing an accountant for OIC OIC via its website.
In extremely limited situations in very limited circumstances, the IRS can grant penalties reduction to those who haven’t paid their tax due to a circumstance. The IRS might be willing to waive the penalty if the taxpayer can meet specific and very strict requirements. Interest abatement is more restricted and is rarely offered. Although these programs can remove interest or penalties, you are still responsible for taxes. When a tax-relief firm promises to reduce penalty and interest on your behalf, beware that only a few relief options are available, no matter who represents you in IRS Collections. Their services should consist of an appointment with you in person that will discuss your options and their pricing structure.
By the IRS regulations, you can request the IRS to grant you an Installment Agreement, OIC, or a penalty or interest abatement with no assistance of a third party. Suppose you prefer third-party assistance in negotiating with the IRS. In that case, only certain tax professionals — Enrolled Agents (federally-authorized tax practitioners who can represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the IRS), Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), and attorneys — have the authority to represent you. Their assistance should be based on an in-person meeting in which they will explain your options and their fee cost structure. We will discuss more about tax resolution company
If you’re asked to pay in advance to represent yourself in a tax collection issue, review the refund policy before signing any contract. Be sure to check whether a default rate which is a flat rate applicable to everyone employed by a company, including tax experts — will be applicable if you choose to terminate the company’s service. A high default bill rate could quickly consume most of your initial payment even before the representation has begun.
Reach out to the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent agency inside the IRS, and offers free assistance for tax issues you’ve been unable to solve on your own or if your issues are causing financial problems for your company or you or you’re facing the immediate threat of a negative tax collection actions from the IRS. Contact them at 1-877-777-478 or visit irs.gov/advocate.
State Tax Relief Programs
Since we are discussing tax resolution company. The process of tax settlements between states is remarkable compared to the procedure used by the IRS. However, the process varies between states. In certain states, for example, penalties for taxpayers are waived; however, interest isn’t. Other states have a situation where interest may be eliminated; however, penalties aren’t. In certain states, the legitimate tax debt cannot be reduced. For more information, call your state’s comptroller. To view a state-by-state list, visit the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers, and Treasurers (NASACT) at nasact.org.
Issues are encountered with Tax Relief Companies and Representatives.
The IRS Office of Professional Responsibility investigates questionable practices within the tax debt resolution business. Contact the IRS on Form 14157 Complaint Tax Return Preparer. This IRS Return Preparer Office will examine complaints and, when appropriate, forward this to the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility to investigate.
The type of behavior that warrants a complaint to the IRS is any of the following::
I guarantee you relief from tax obligations;
Falsely state the length of time required to complete a debt relief application Or
Do not include relevant financial statements that contain asset information provided in the hands of the IRS.
You may also submit a complaint to the FTC via the internet or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP. The FTC can record consumer complaints in the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and an investigative tool utilized by myriad law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. and abroad.
If you are owed back taxes and are having difficulty meeting your tax obligations:
Read your notices from the IRS or the state comptroller. Talk to these agencies about ways to collect.
You can avoid a lot of hassle by not heeding the promises of firms that claim that you “qualify” to be eligible for an aid program for tax relief to pay off taxes. It is only the IRS or the state comptroller that will determine that. Look at the IRS Offer in the Compromise Booklet and Form 656-B, and then use the IRS Online Tool to determine whether you are qualified to receive the offer-in-compromise.
Beware that the whole cost of services is demanded in advance without any indication of how services will be charged or if any refunds of fees not earned will be provided.

Jewel’s Catch One looks back at the scene-making Los Angeles gay disco, “Catch One” and it’s owner, Jewel Thais-Williams. For more than forty years, Thais-Williams operated one of the most lauded clubs in the city’s history. As one interviewee puts it, Thais-Williams is “an honored elder, superhero to the Los Angeles community” who came up against tough odds: “Not only was she poor, not only was she a woman, she was a lesbian, and she was a black one.” ‘
The documentary follows Thais-Williams from her days as a freshman club owner, through the AIDS crisis, the celebrity nineties, and into the aughts. While Jewel’s Catch One, directed by filmmaker C. Fitz, is a documentary cut from an established stylistic cloth, Thais-Williams and the community she has long nurtured make the film shine. Fitz pairs archival footage of Catch One in the glory days with a wide range of interviews of Thais-Williams friends and queer family. The result is a warm, heartfelt film that tells a critical story of perseverance.

The drives are planned to be held across the UT for onboarding of the ODOP and DEH products on the GeM platform. This is the 4th district level drive for onboarding of ODOP and DEH (District as Export Hub) products on GeM in a row after Ganderbal, Budgam and Kupwara.
Papier Machie has been selected as one of the products under District as Export hub initiative from district Srinagar and has immense potential for exports. The District Administration is working in full swing with the Government and other export institutions to promote these products.
The drive was attended by more than 40 artisans, societies and exporters from district Srinagar and officers from Handicrafts and Handloom Department, Kashmir.

The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is an online platform for public procurement in India.

Our assistive device is a wearable robot that you could use to help you navigate around an area despite whatever reason you might not be able to see. The device uses the ultrasonic sensor to tell how far away something is in front of you, and beeps when you get too close. The device also has a sensor at the end of a wand that you can point around, which provides a different sound when its too close.
The reason we chose to do this device is that we believe that being blind is one of the worst disabilities that you can have, and anything that can help you even slightly, is an amazing thing.
The device was very easy to build and simple to use, but with the limitations of the hardware it sometimes struggles in cluttered areas. However, in places like hallways the device works very well. Testing was done by navigating through the hallways at the college with eyes fully closed and it was successful. An issue with the device, is that a blind person might have trouble putting the device on and operating it, if it was a real product, it would need to be very simple, and a lot smaller.
As it is such a simple device, I don’t think there are too many things we could have done, given we had more time, aside from tweaking some of the values that trigger the sounds from the device, and making it easier to operate blind.
This project is essentially a development of a robot we made last year, which started off as a game where you would be blindfolded, and had to aim a gun around until it started to shake. This was not possible, due to the limitations of the colour sensor, so we instead made it into something of an assistive device, that would shake when you got too close to things you aimed it at. Due to its size and that you had to hold it out in front of you, it wasn’t particularly practical.

Allen, right, a legislative assistant for Sen. Amy Klobuchar , will be among the 36,000 runners at this year’s Boston Marathon. Lehner, communications director for Sen. Mary L. Landrieu , ran Boston in 2011 and has already qualified for the 2015 marathon.
For those not running, it’s still a momentous event to follow. Instead of sitting on muddy tarps in the Runners Village this year, Lehner will be tracking his fellow Capitol Hill Distance Project runners via text messages at his desk. “The marathon is bigger than one day, one race or one course,” he said. “The Boston Marathon represents the enduring resilience and capacity of the human spirit to overcome and succeed.”
An earlier version of this article misstated which year Matt Lehner qualified for the marathon and the date of this year's race.

The image I've used for my card is Winter Wonderland by Sugar Nellie. I got this stamp this morning from Lyndsey Marie's new shop "Lora Crafts" which is very near to where I live. So pleased that Lyndsey has been chosen to stock these fabulous stamps, well done Lyndsey.
Back to the card. I coloured the image with copics and cut it out with the nestie label die. The snowflake I cut on the cuttlebug and embossed the snowflake panel on the cuttlebug too. Getting plenty of use out of the cuttlebug today. Added two layers of card which were cut with a scalloped edge blade on my Woodware cutter. I added white glitter to the snowflake, scalloped borders and the little flakes on the image. The pearls, ribbon and trim are from stash and the greeting is Craftwork Cards from Lyndsey's shop.
Just off to the hospital now to see poor John. Do hope he's picked up a bit today.
Bye for now,

I decided I had better get my act together this afternoon as it's my daughters wedding anniversary tomorrow and her birthday on Monday and I hadn't even got started on a card.
The first one is for her birthday. I decided I wouldn't use any DP but would stamp my own. The backing panel was made using distresss inks worn lipstick and milled lavender dabbed onto a craft sheet spritzed with water and the white card placed onto it. I then used a Crafty Individuals swirl stamp from the C1-235 set and stamped using the milled lavender. The main image panel was stamped using the swirls and a gorgeous art deco lady that I got from Gail at Circa Design, it only cost me 50p 'cause there is a little fault on it but I soon sorted that. I coloured the image very delicately using watercolours. The ribbon and gorgeous brad are from stash.
I decided not to put sentiments on either as I thought it would spoil the look.
Well that's it for the moment. Hope you have a good weekend.

Simpson was judged and declared not guilty of the crime. Around 300 items of fan memorabilia where on display including... Еще merchandise t-shirts sold at the time of the trial, games inspired on Simpson, books, paintings, posters and watches among others. The curator of the museum, Adam Papagan, explained that the exhibition intends to capture «the phenomenon surrounding O.J. Simpson, the fan culture» and not the trial itself.
