I'm Being Sued for Old Debts. Is That Even Legal?
If you have unpaid debt from years ago, there's a chance that you may receive a letter in the mail declaring that you're being sued. And, if you fail to appear in court, the judge will rule in favor of the plaintiff.
There are things you need to keep in mind if you receive a subpoena.
Not sure where to start? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
Let's take a look at everything you need to know about getting sued for debt.
Table of Contents
So… What Happens?
Getting sued for debt involves a creditor filing a complaint with the state that declares you owe them money, interest, and potentially their attorney fees.
As previously mentioned, ignoring the summons and not showing up to court is a poor decision to make. This will likely result in the judge plaintiff the opportunity to freeze your bank account, place a lien on your property, and garnish your wages.
If your finances are already tight, this could cause you to have to take out loans or use credit cards to pay for expenses, putting you in further debt.
So, you're going to have to take action.
Respond Promptly
You only have a maximum of 30 days to respond, so you can't take too much time.
Before you do, though, you'll need to gather some information. This includes:
- Who the plaintiff is and how much they say you owe.
- Whether or not you owe the debt.
- Whether the debt is within the statute limitations. After a certain amount of time, you can't rightfully be sued—even if creditors attempt to.
It's important that your written response is accurate and inclusive, though, which may be off-putting to people who aren't familiar with the law.
So, it's in your best interest to employ legal assistance for a debt lawsuit to make sure things come out in your favor.
Many attorneys will provide a free consultation, and it's not uncommon for the creditor to be responsible for your legal fees if you will. This scenario will allow you to defend yourself at no cost.
What If I Don't Owe The Debt?
Sometimes, names get switched (or mistyped) as debt moves from collector to collector.
Luckily, someone attempting to sue you for debt that you don't owe will have to prove that you're obligated to pay it. This means they'll need financial documents with your signature, proof that you've made payments toward the debt in the past, etc.
If (and when) they aren't able to do so, the judge will dismiss the case and you won't have to worry about it.
Getting Sued for Debt Can Seem Intimidating
But it doesn't have to be.
With the above information about getting sued for debt in mind, you'll be well on your way to

Highly Important
TITLE: Highly Important
DATE: September 14, 2019
TEXT: Matthew 6:33 - ESV - 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Way back in 1964, one of America' new, socially-conscious troubadours, Bob Dylan, wrote about how "The Times Are a-Changin'."
A few weeks ago the Wall Street Journal and NBC News made public the results of a new poll which they had taken. Based on the questions from a survey taken 21 years ago it was designed to measure just how much the things which are "very important" to America have changed in the last two decades.
Now the first thing which needs to be said is: not everything has changed. Most things have, but not everything. For example, one thing which has not changed is the importance of hard work. Two-decades ago hard work was the most important thing to us, with 83% of us saying it was very important. Today, 89% of those polled have said hard work remains as a very high priority for them.
So, by now, you probably would like a look at some of the winners and the losers. Nothing is easier:
Now if that sounds a bit discouraging to you, I'll give you two more facts.
All of which made me wonder Is there a common denominator in all these swings. It occurs to me there is. Things which are tangible and touchable; things which are of the present are more important to the younger group. For more and more people philosophical' things which are for tomorrow and eternity are not as important as the here, the now, the touchable.
Which might be fine as long as they don't forget Jesus' warning, Matthew Matthew 6:33 English Standard Version (ESV) - 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
The Lord Who sent His Son to save us, doesn't want us to forget all He has done to rescue us for eternity. Which is why His priority should also be ours. I
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, grant Your will and ways may be mine. In Jesus Name I ask it. Amen

Quirk Books is a… well, quirky, fun book publisher that has a comic book writer and former YA librarian in their ranks, spreading the good word. It's pretty awesome, because now, my library gets to do things like have a gallery dedicated to horror paperbacks of the '70s and '80s (Paperbacks From Hell), and have a mini pop culture con for my kiddos and tweens.
First up, my Paperbacks From Hell gallery, in my teen section. It's garnering some looks, some chuckles, and some conversations: "What the hell is that?" "That is a giant gila monster. And watch your mouth." (The display is in the teen area, but you know, little pitchers, big ears). The teens are pretty baffled, the grownups get a kick out of it, and it just makes me happy.
Next up, BookPop: Quirk's traveling pop culture fest, happening in libraries and bookstores all over the place. I held mine late, because I thought it would be the perfect program to hold when the kids were out of school; last Thursday – since most of the families in my community don't observe Rosh Hashanah – was the day. Quirk sent me a box o'swag, including ET: The Extra-Terrestrial tattoos (not in the picture: those babies were GONE); posters of the new kids' books, X-Files: Children are Weird, and the YA novel My Best Friend's Exorcism; and a spiffy tote bag to put everything in. I downloaded Quirk's Geek Guides for putting on a great day of programming, and was ready.
First program of BookPop! Day was Superhero Storytime. I had a handful of kiddos and their parents attend, and we made masks and Geek Family Crests when we were done. The kids loved the masks – I downloaded some blank templates from First Palette, handed out scissors, markers, crayons, and lanyard to tie the masks, and the kids loved it. One little one even wore her mask through the next program…
Nick and Tesla's Science Workshop. The Nick and Tesla books are tons of fun and loaded with STEM experiments, but I wanted something that even my littler ones could do. Enter, bubbles. I told the kids that Nick and Tesla are a brother-sister team that solve mysteries and get out of trouble by creating great science projects, and that we were going to learn about surface tension, and the difference between bubbling your milk and bubbling water with a little dish soap in it. I had a gallon-sized tub filled with water, gave out droppers, straws, and cups, and we bubbled away. Then, I had one of the kids add a cup of plain old liquid dish soap, and they all took turns stirring it. I spread some water on the table and demonstrate how to blow a table bubble, and that was all the kids needed. Look at these bubbles!
The entire table, at one point, was covered in bubbles. They loved it, I loved it, and they want more fun science programming, so win, all around. Next up was…
The Miss Peregrine Photo Workshop. Originally, I planned this for my teen patrons, but they weren't interested – I had a group of tweens, though, who were all over it. We talked about the movie, I showed them the books, and brought out the equipment: photos I printed onto card stock from a Miss Peregrine-inspired Pinterest board (search on "vintage weird" and I guarantee you won't be sorry), lots of paper towel, a spray bottle full of coffee, and two containers of coffee and tea. The kids loved aging their photos, and I was amazed by their creativity: one girl laid a paper towel over her photo to give it more texture as the coffee seeped through, and another tore the borders of her photo to make it look even older.
When I told them I wanted to create a photo gallery of their work, they all donated the photos to the library! So today, we have "Queensboro Hill's Library for Outstanding Children" (forgive the glare, I laminated the photos so they wouldn't deteriorate further):
I handed swag bags out for most of the day, and everything went except for one tote, two X-Files posters, and a handful of My Best Friend's Exorcism posters, which will all be prizes for future programs. One kid couldn't even wait to get home: he gave himself an ET tattoo sleeve, which was pretty fabulous.
I'd call our Queensboro Hill BookPop! a success.

Iowa signed a six-person recruiting class in 2015, including five freshmen and one JUCO transfer. Five of those players arrived in Iowa City this summer and played in the Prime Time League. The lone absentee? Chicago prep Isaiah Moss, who missed out on PTL action this summer to take care of some lingering academic requirements. His absence this summer caused some trepidation about whether or not he would make it to Iowa at all, but now those concerns can be firmly laid to rest:
Isaiah Moss meets academic requirements, will join #Hawkeyes basketball team. http://t.co/31M8C1Lsvo
— Hawk Central (@hawkcentral) August 6, 2015
Moss was, by some measures, the most highly-regarded member of this recruiting class, so the news that he will be suiting up for Iowa this fall is very good news indeed. He's a dynamic athlete and an "explosive scorer," per Fran McCaffery, which is exactly the sort of player Iowa could use on the wing. Like basically all of McCaffery's incoming recruits, Moss is a versatile player with excellent length, able to play a few different positions (off-guard and small forward), which is vital as Iowa continues to evolve in Fran's preferred direction. Moss is listed at 6-5, 175 so he is a little on the slender side for the Big Ten -- he'll need to spend some time in the weight room or risk getting bullied all over the course. But his quickness and leaping ability (among other assets) should be welcome additions to the mix at Iowa.
The big question, of course, is how much playing time Moss might expect to get in 2015-16. Iowa returns four seniors this year (Woodbury, Uthoff, Gesell, Clemmons) who will likely play big minutes, as well as a junior (Jok) and a sophomore (Uhl) whose roles should increase this season, too. Add to that the six-person recruiting class (and freshman Brady Ellingson, who redshirted in 2014-15) and that's going to create quite a juggling act for Fran and his staff to handle. Moss might be slightly behind his fellow newcomers by virtue of not playing in the PTL this summer (and, more importantly, not taking part in the team practices that took place this summer), but that probably won't be too much of a deterrent -- there will be a decent amount of practice time before the season officially tips off in November and Moss' skill set doesn't appear to be easily duplicated by any other current or incoming Iowa player. Regardless, it's just nice to have official word that Moss will be part of the mix at Iowa. Welcome aboard, Mr. Moss.

I'm back!
For those who may have noticed a strange silence in the land where dark stars rise (otherwise known as this blog), wonder on it no further, for I have been away on holiday in the highlands of Scotland, Fort William. Myself and my partner managed to escape for a week, the first time in over a year, and it was absolutely joyful. There is a natural beauty in Scotland untouched by the corruptions of modern times. The air there tastes different. A sense of history seethes from every leaf and bough.
And so, we found it restorative, but also inspiring, particularly an encounter with a mystical, secret castle Tioram (pronounced Chee-rum apparently), one that we never would have found if not for our wonderful B&B hosts Sue and Andy. The castle was on an island which you can walk to when the tide is low. The pictures cannot do justice to the sense of mystery and ancient power which hangs over this place. It was so inspiring, I had to sit down and write a poem about it there and then, which you can read below. I'm a bit rusty when it comes to poetry, but I enjoyed writing this, and welcome any comments in the usual place.
At the castle of Tioram
where Shiel meets loch
and source meets light
the air, breathless, hangs.
A giant, belly hairless, head
slumped in the limitless crystal
sleeps like old kings are said to:
biding time for greater purpose.
The ruin stands in sepia
atop the shingle ringed isle,
separate from mainlines but connected
through intravenous stones.
There are no needles here
except the pine. No white sheets
except the ghost of banners
hung by proud clans who knew this land.
No madness either, only music
sung by eagles: demented coils
unwound like the found seaweed
dredged upon the shore.
No death here, only to stop
as beauty calls back its gift;
time's looped round cylinders
circling as eagles do.
My soul flies;
my body's
So, all in all, it was a magical experience, and, much like the old Romantic poets, one that inspired and brought one closer to a sense of being one with the universe. We met some pretty amazing people on the way: Art and Anita, a couple from America, who shared some profound wisdom with us. Thanks and God bless you on your way you crazy pair!
I can't recommend the experience enough, even to those who normally don't like walking and the outdoors. If you can be still in these peaceful places, your soul and busy mind will quieten a little, and you'll feel a lot better. It might even help you with your creative efforts too: if not directly inspiring work, getting you into a state wherein you are more able to work.
Well, the holiday is over now, which is sad, but it is also great to be back in the chair and able to talk to you, write more efficiently and prolifically, and get my head back in the game. There are so many wonderful things coming up: two major novel releases, one The Meaning of the Dark coming this October. The second one is yet to be announced, but I think you'll find it pretty breathtaking when you see what it is.
Don't forget you have until 26th September to submit your Fang Fiction entries. Send them in to email@example.com
Thanks for stopping by! Adios!

In my third year at CalArts I took a visual development class and discovered the wonders of adding texture to digital art. Ever since, I've been a bit obsessed with painting my own textures to scan into my computer. Most of my watercolors have thus been spent on creating colorful, blobby gradients and paint splatters.
When I visited the arboretum this May with my friend, Charlotte, I brought some of those watercolors with me and painted the plants we saw there. I wasn't sure what to do with it when I was done, so I thought I'd scan it and play with it as a texture.
It ended up evolving into something bigger, and I wound up painting several other watercolor textures to layer into 3 different animation ideas.
The individual results created with these pieces are posted on my Instagram, but they're pretty small and compressed on that platform. That's why I compiled all three into the video above.
This was a super fun personal project and I hope to take this style of combining traditional media with vector animation further someday, perhaps as a music video or short film.

This is a pretty tragic story but one that you can make sure has a happy ending. Please do that.
Adam is "A husband, and a father of three, and he has a rare form of blood cancer called primary myelofibrosis."
As mine and Adam's mutual friend Stella 'Rybakov' Wiener wrote me "Next week is the last week that donations are accepted for him as after that it will be too late for him." We cannot let that happen.
To quote someone who said it beautifully:
"There was a massive effort in LA to find a match for Adam.
The Jewish community rallied behind him.
But… no luck.
So now he needs a miracle.
And where do you go when you need a miracle?
We know that Israel is a country where total strangers show up to support one another during the worst of times – where we stand together to comfort the grieving, and we grieve as one.
Israel is also a country where we show up to weddings and celebrate the beginning of a new generation – we take hands and dance with total strangers. That's just how we do: We choose life.
Israel is a place where kindness matters – there's a sense of family that extends beyond the dinner table, that transcends politics, and traffic jams.
And Adam and his family need us to come together for him."
Here's how: On September 28th, there will be centers all over Israel – and not just for Adam… There are others waiting for miracles, too — some are little kids, some are young fathers… and the more people on the registry, the more likely that they'll get well

Altice N.V. Explores IPO of Minority Interest in Altice USA
European telecom company Altice N.V. said it is exploring the possibility of launching an initial public offering of a minority interest in Altice USA.
Altice USA is the domestic arm of the Dutch-based telecom company. Altice USA has about 4 million cable customers, through its purchases of Suddenlink Communications ($9.1 billion) in 2015 and Cablevision Systems ($17.8 billion) in June.
Speculation has been high that Altice USA would eventually go public ever since it was formed. An IPO would give the cable operator a deal currency to do more deals. But it is unclear as to what the IPO would entail and details were sketchy.
"No decisions have been taken at this point on the structure or timing of any IPO, and no assurance can be given that an IPO will be pursued," Altic N.V. said in a statement.

Alternate polling site sought for 2012
LAKEVILLE — Voters in Lakeville may be on the move next spring, but it hasn't been decided just where they'll be moving.
Voting for all three Lakeville precincts has been held in the commissary at the Ted Williams Camp, but Town Clerk Janet L. Tracy is looking for new space for 2012. Work is being done to repair and refurbish the commissary using students from Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School.
The commissary was used for the Sept. 20 special election to fill the 12th Bristol state representative seat when two of the three Lakeville precincts were involved. "It will be best if we can have all the precincts in the same place," Tracy told selectmen Monday night. "I'd like to go to the Senior Center and the library to check them out."
The next election is March 6, when the presidential primary will be held. Also in 2012 are the annual town election in April and the presidential election in November. "At their meeting on Sept. 7, the Ted Williams Camp Commissary Renovation Committee discussed the viability of using the commissary building as a polling place," the committee wrote to the selectmen. "After reviewing the project status and time line, the committee voted unanimously to recommend to the Board of Selectmen that an alternate polling location be used for the upcoming elections."
The search for a location is for 2012 and the hope is that the work at the commissary will be completed and the polling place will be reinstated at the Ted Williams Camp for 2013.
"We have to have room for long lines," Tracy said. "If we move the polling place for 2012, that takes in the presidential election and there will be long lines."
Tracy has asked that Town Administrator Rita Garbitt and/or a member of the selectmen go with her to check out the Council on Aging and main meeting room at the library as potential sites to determine if either or both would be available and suitable to handle the elections. Tracy said Council on Aging Director Marilyn Mansfield "doesn't think it's big enough for us to host all three polling places."
Selectman Chairman Stephen Olivier suggested the town could possibly seek to use the George R. Austin Intermediate School, which is operating far below capacity this year with just Grade 5. He said he could ask if that was possible at the Wednesday night meeting of the Regional Budget Sub-Committee, of which he is a member.
In an effort to save the $3,000 mailing costs to notify registered voters in town of such a change, Tracy needs an answer and a decision soon so she can include the notification to voters with the mailing of the 2012 census forms.

Submission to the Independent Commission on Banking
03 December 2011
The Independent Commission on Banking (otherwise known as the Vickers Commission) has been tasked with proposing reform of the banking system in the wake of the financial crisis of 2007-08.
In this paper, we argue that banking is unlike other industries and not subject to normal laws of free-market competition.
1.1 Banking is unlike other industries and not subject to normal laws of free-market competition. This is because banks perform the fundamental function of credit creation that underpins the health of the whole economy, and as a result they enjoy a unique privilege of implicit and explicit government guarantees of their solvency.
1.2 The banking system has the potential to undermine the macro-economic management of the economy as well as having a pervasive effect on social and environmental stability. This justifies a broad interpretation of the Commission"s terms of reference, and a statement of the function of banking as the point of departure. We offer the following definition: "To facilitate the allocation and deployment of economic resources, both spatially and temporally, to ecological sustainable activities that maximise long-term financial and social returns under conditions of uncertainty".
1.3 Stability is undermined by an inherent contradiction between ensuring a stable monetary system that promotes the public interest on the one hand, and the control of the creation and allocation of credit by private banks on the other. Two broad reforming themes can improve stability: the dispersal of market power and increasing diversity within the banking system, and some form of direct control or strategic guidance over the quantity and quality of credit creation.
1.4 The banking sector does not approximate to anything close to text-book conditions of perfect competition. Indeed, the nature of banking as outlined above is such that a laissez-faire approach will lead to less competition, not more, and even improving competition cannot of itself address all forms of market failure. Without significant structural, regulatory, and monetary reform, it is hard to envisage how more competition will lead to anything other than more bad lending.
1.4 We argue that there is insufficient consumer choice with the current retail banking system, particularly when the extent of the range of suppliers ("choice of what"), and the extent of the range of customers served ("choice for whom"), are taken into account.
1.5 We submit that the Commission should give greater priority to broad public interest than to the profitability of individual financial institutions where these conflict, and should:

Filed under: ANG Keystone Garden Chapter, Christmas Diamonds by Kurdy Biggs
This is the third of the Christmas Diamonds by Kurdy Biggs from the Needlepoint Now November/December 2015 issue.
This has the same colors as the first diamond and is also on a white canvas with silver sparkles. I added some small (3mm) silver bugle beads and did the beads a little differently than diagrammed. The same size beads are inside the border Jessicas.
I finished the Jessica border during my last Saturday afternoon with my ANG Main Line Stitchers chapter (always the 4th Saturday at Starbucks on Lancaster Ave in Wayne, PA from 11 am to 3 pm).
No changes to the threads or beads from the first diamond. The threads are Kreinik #4 Braid 1432, Entice E248, Silk Lame Braid Petite SP118, Splendor S988, and Treasure Braid TR277. The beads are Miyuki Delica Beads 15/0 DBS0166 and Sundance Beads Size 11 and Size 14/15 Color 327P; the beading thread is from Sundance too in Teal and Turquoise colors.
I have enough thread and beads to do the third but I'm getting ready to take a couple of classes. So, I will probably not stitch the second diamond. But, I would like to see them all stitched. And, the finishing should be done at the same time. What to do!?!

Fae Friday is an awesome new weekly post created by Kristy at Caffeinated Fae. I'm super excited to participate in this (and to have been an avid supporter of it from the beginning)! A topic is provided each week, and Kristy is so welcoming to ideas from others. If you have any ideas for topics, reach out to her through her blog or on Twitter (@caffeinatedfae).
Here's the rules:
- Link back to this page on Caffeinated Fae.
- If the prompt idea comes from another blog, link to that blog as well.
- Use #FaeFriday when posting to social media so we can all find each other!
- Participate when you can and have fun with the prompt!
Music is something that faeries are known to enjoy. That is why this week's prompt is: what kind of music do you listen to when reading?
I love a lot of different types of music, but generally do not listen to music when I'm reading. However, if I do actually listen to music while I'm reading, it's really relaxing music like Mazzy Star or Zero 7 – stuff that kind of fades into the backgroun and doesn't distract me from what I'm reading. This was the kind of music I'd always listen to while studying, too.
What about you? Music while reading? And what kind if you do?

Konica Photo Imaging has introduced two new high resolution Digital Revio Mega Pixel cameras with 4.13, and 3.34 mega pixel CCDs, equivalent to 4.0 and 3.0 effective megapixels. They're compatible with Mac OS 8.6 and 9.x, but the company hasn't mentioned Mac OS X compatibility.
Robert Striano, president and chief executive officer of Konica said the Digital Revio KD-400Z and KD-310Z are the world's smallest digital cameras in their class, as well as the world's first digital cameras that offer both SD/MMC Memory Card and Memory Stick storage. With the proper media reader, you should be able to get your digital photos from the cameras into Mac OS X.
The Digital Revio KD-400Z has a stainless steel alloy body, sliding lens cover and 3X optical Hexanon zoom lens (equivalent to 39-117mm on 35mm film camera). Operation recording modes include: single, macro, self-timer, landscape, 2X digital zoom, sepia, movie, voice memo and resize. The latter lets you downsize an image so that it can be easily transmitted.
The camera also features an imaging processing system with automatic exposure, focus and white balance. This Konica original computing program processes CCD data at a high speed based on original algorithms, assuring ideal image capturing conditions and faithful reproduction of the subject being captured, Striano said. The Digital Revio is also fitted with a new signal-processing engine.
In addition to recording images, the Digital Revio KD-400Z can record and playback short AVI video "movies" with sound, as well as voice memos. It has an LCD monitor, flash, USB interface, rechargeable lithium-ion battery with recharging unit, AC adaptor and blue LED indicators.
The KD-400Z is Exif 2.2 compatible. Simpler images that print out at a higher quality, with additional attachment of information, are possible because of this new Exchangeable Image File Format for digital still cameras, Striano said. For image manipulation, the KD-400Z package includes Adobe's Photoshop Elements.
The Digital Revio KD-310Z is the world's smallest camera in the 3.34-megapixel, 3X zoom class, Striano said. With the exception of the 3.34- megapixel and red LED indicators, the camera has the same features and functions as the KD-400Z.
Both cameras are due this summer. Pricing has yet to be announced.

The Benefits Of Being A Mover
Talking About The Good Sides Of The Job
A lot of people opt for trade jobs and those that you can do without a college diploma. One of those is being a professional mover, which certainly has its benefits, especially when you are young. So, if you are thinking about doing it, here is what you need to know.
The first thing you have noticed if you have ever hired moving companies Georgetown TX is the flexibility. This refers to the time when you work first of all. You normally have scheduled moves that you can do in your own time, so it leaves you more than enough time to combine other things you need to do. It is a job that is physically challenging, which is why we have mentioned that it is perfect for when you are young.
And there are benefits to this as well, as you will improve your flexibility, and gain more strength. Plus, you can learn a lot which can help you when you need similar services. Another great thing is that you can earn a lot, and it depends on how much you work. So, it is quite fair, as you need to be dedicated and work hard if you want to earn enough. Doing a job like moving companies Georgetown TX do is a perfect way to meet a lot of new people. This can open so many doors for you, not to mention new friendships you can create.
Every job has its benefits, even the ones that don't seem like it at first. This is one where you can stay active and strong, learn a lot, and have a flexible working schedule, which is perfect for many.

A Texas Education Agency (TEA) report shows teacher pay rose in the thousands, thanks to House Bill 3. The bill was passed last legislative session, so firstfruits weren't available until yesterday when TEA released results in the report.
For teachers that have taught five years or less, the average pay increase was $3,839 statewide. Teachers with more than five years of experience saw a raise of over $5,000 on average.
The bigger districts saw the greatest volume of dollars spent on raising teacher pay. For districts with more than 10,000 students enrolled, teachers, nurses, librarians, and counselors saw average total gains of more than $7 million, whereas districts that serve under 500 students averaged about $150,000 in total gains for those jobs.
However, individual teacher salaries rose more at smaller schools. While districts with under 500 students saw an average increase of over $6,000 per teacher, teachers at the biggest districts are only earning around $3,400 more.
These numbers come with certain caveats. While HB 3 was tailored to address administrative bloat by making sure the money funnels into the classroom, the data lump in other jobs with teaching. The spreadsheet does not differentiate librarians, nurses, and counselors from teachers, notwithstanding that their jobs hold clearly different sway over the students. The data, furthermore, are self-reported: the districts, not the state, did the collecting. Specific district data may be found on the TEA's website.
The governor released a statement lauding the raises and crediting the work of legislators like Rep. Dan Huberty (R-Kingwood), the author of the bill.
"Thanks to the historic legislation we passed last session, Texas teachers are already seeing a significant increase in their pay," Abbott said.
"Thank you to Chairman Larry Taylor and Chairman Dan Huberty for leading the way on this critical issue, and thank you to Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Speaker Dennis Bonnen, and members of the Legislature who supported this bill. Their work is delivering meaningful results for Texas students and teachers, and helping our state recruit and retain the very best educators."
Huberty cited the draw and retention of good teachers as a prime goal of the bill.
"Coming from a long line of teachers and knowing how just one teacher changed the course of my life, it was critical that we compensate teachers as professionals," Huberty said.
"I was proud to be a part of this historic accomplishment and look forward to continuing funding teachers and their peers, so that they not only want to stay in the classroom but stay in the profession."
Texas Sen. Larry Taylor (R-Friendswood), Huberty's counterpart in the Senate, also put teacher retention and quality at the center of the legislation.
"HB 3 raises the salary of all teachers, incentivizing new teachers to the profession and retaining our veteran teachers. It is my hope that this concerted effort to increase teacher compensation will allow more veteran educators to remain in the classroom where they can continue to change lives and share their expertise with junior colleagues," Taylor said.
HB 3 passed unanimously in both chambers before Abbott signed it into law. Along with raising teacher pay, the bill makes some property tax cuts — referred to as a "buydown" — lowering rates around the state by $0.07 per $100 valuation. It will also cap school districts' property tax increases at 2.5 percent per year, starting in 2021.
COVID-19 has thrown the bill's chief goal for a loop. State funding for districts is closely tied to enrollment, and the 2020-2021 school year stumbled to a start with record withdrawals. The Texas Home School Coalition (THSC) reported a 400 percent increase in parents pulling their children from public schools using THSC's online withdrawal tool, with 4,055 withdrawals in August 2020 compared to just over a thousand in August 2019. The July gap between 2019 and 2020 homeschool withdrawals spiked even higher, with 3,114 withdrawals in July 2020 after a mere 201 in July 2019.

5 Ways to Improve a Software Implementation Process
Late last week we detailed the difference between optimal implementation process practices and traditional methods. The piece laid out the vital differences between the two methodologies, and why modern best practices can mitigate the many risks that a large software implementation process can present. This time, we will present some individual practices that could effectively improve implementation processes for businesses that are currently considering implementing a new software system.
The key to a successful CRM and ERP implementation process depends on the ROI goals and ultimate scope of the project. Fundamentally, investors are required to detail an end to end scope of their operations. Yet, many implementation projects go rouge when leaders fail to adhere to modern best practices. Software implementation projects detail a variety of multifaceted processes. Each process supports a greater purpose indicative of changes in the business, industry, and market. For a growing business, the real challenge then becomes scaling this content in an economic way. If a software implementation project is compromised (or rushed) the company often suffers loss their investment and opportunities thereafter.
Here are the top five ways to improve a software implementation process:
- Source a third party BPM expert for your software implementation, or integration. A major pitfall of implementation projects is the premise of the the project itself. Business processes are ultimately what determine the ROI of the software; as the software will only be effective as the processes it supports. Typically, investing in this portion of the project can pay off in the long run; as it lays the foundation for the rest of the implementation.Investors are often so eager to see a return, they often decide to deploy the software quickly, internally. However, this takes valuable time and resources away from managing contingencies in the current system. By straddling two projects, current responsibilities are neglected and the shape of the new system often resembles the look of the former.
- It's a struggle to convince each department the solidarity of their process holds the business back. A successful implementation process outcome can only be achieved when everyone shares a common vision for the project. Find a common ground amongst users to use as a platform to see your growth model through. Sometimes it involves a bit of additional project funding to push teams to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sourcing an outside change management approach can provide insight on what worked for other companies with similar dilemma.
- When leaders view moving the company forward on a clean state as a theorized byproduct of implementation process, instead of including it into the deliverables, projects commonly fail. Many businesses neglect to administer routine data maintenance in legacy systems, damaging the efficiency of software overtime. Flawed data manipulates process outcomes and leads to poor business process modeling. Including a data cleanse in the deliverables can make an implementation much faster and more afforadable. It also allows the company to address misuses of the system so those mistakes do not reoccur in the new software investment.
- Routine communication and accountability is critical throughout — and following — an implementation process. Whoever is charged with leadign the project should include a high level communication plan as a fundamental part of their implementation process. Essentially, this brings business leaders together to take full command and ownership of project outcomes. Routine communication forces high level leaders to become accountable for data management, change orders, and estimates. Adopting this transparency in your next project will greatly improve your expectations of the new system and profoundly lessen contingency in each phase of the project.
- Starting in the backend phases of a project, the implementation team should thoroughly edify business users. After all, business users are at the core of software processes. If users don't know how to perform jobs and tasks in the system, how can a business expect them to adopt it? Businesses should position their project team to parallel the edification process with system pilots to verify all processes work prior to the go live date. Additionally, this can clarify why particular areas of the system are configured to the current state, so administrators do not stray from the mapping and alter strategic business processes.
Performed in unison, these 5 tips can help you mitigate a significant amount of risk in your next project. If a business has never been through a major implementation, or hasn't been through one in several years, the business can be inclined to make the mistakes we commonly see with the traditional implementation process. Implementing the steps above can go a long ways toward putting the project on the right path from the onset.
Still not sure? We get these questions a lot. Send our experts a message about your next software implementation project and join the conversation to make the most out of your next investment.

"Lemonade" and the new reality of infidelity
It's time to change the way we talk about affairs
Esther Perel. Saturday, Apr 30, 2016
"Are you cheating on me?" Beyoncé asks in her visual album "Lemonade," which premiered last weekend on HBO.
She throws open a door, and water gushes forth—an apt metaphor for the flood of emotions that her question, and its implied answer, unleashes.
As a couples therapist, I've sat with hundreds of women, and men, in the turbulent aftermath of infidelity. For the past decade, I've been traveling the globe listening to tales of betrayal from every side. What struck me about Beyoncé's album was both the universality of its themes and the unusual way in which it presented them. Whether autobiography or simply art, her multimedia treatise on unfaithful love represents a refreshing break with this country's accepted narratives on the topic.
In the American backyard, adultery is sold with a mixture of condemnation and titillation. Magazine covers peddle smut while preaching sanctimony. While our society has become sexually open to the point of overflowing, when it comes to infidelity even the most liberal minds can remain intransigent. We may not be able to stop the fact that it happens, but we can all agree that it shouldn't. (Why again?)
Another thing most Americans seem to agree on is that infidelity is among the worst things that can happen to a couple. The dialogue here is framed in terms borrowed from trauma, crime and religion: victims and perpetrators; injured parties and infidels; confession, repentance and redemption.
As a European, I can testify that in other cultures, the betrayal is no less painful, but the response is more philosophical and pragmatic. Americans do not cheat any less than the supposedly lascivious French; they just feel more guilty about it, because the experience here is framed in moral terms.
As Brazilian couples therapist Michele Scheinkman has pointed out, the notion of trauma provides a legitimizing framework for the pain of betrayal, but it limits the avenues for recovery.
This clinical approach denudes the pain of its romantic essence and its erotic energy—the very qualities that must be reignited if a relationship is to not only survive but thrive. Jealousy, rage, vengeance and lust are as central to the story as loss, pain and shattered trust—something European and Latin cultures will more readily admit than Americans. Infidelity is not just about broken contracts; it is about broken hearts.
These erotic aspects of the drama are unapologetically displayed in Beyoncé's fierce performance. She does not present herself as victim, but as a woman invigorated and empowered by love.
She even voices one of the great unspoken truths about the aftermath of affairs: the hot sex that often ensues. "Grief sedated by orgasm," she intones, "orgasm heightened by grief." Perhaps most strikingly, she is unashamed to announce to the world that she intends to remain Mrs. Carter. "If we're gonna heal, let it be glorious."
Once upon a time, divorce carried all the shame. Today, choosing to stay when you can leave is the new shame.
That's not to say we don't do it—research indicates that most couples will stay together after an infidelity—but we do it stoically and silently. Betrayed women only get to sing songs of rage and retribution and wield baseball bats after they've walked out the door.
Politicians' wives stand mute beside their contrite husbands at press conferences, and they are judged for doing so. From nationally televised presidential debates to the privacy of the voting booth, Hillary Clinton continues to be held in contempt of the court of public opinion for choosing to stay when she was free to go. (She was No Bill President, and Not that gorgeous to blame him)
There's no question that the cultural conversation surrounding affairs reinforces some of America's most deeply held values: love, honesty, commitment and responsibility—values that have been the cornerstones of our society.
But the intensity of the reactions that the topic provokes can also generate narrowness, hypocrisy and hasty responses. The dilemmas of love and desire don't always yield to simple answers of black and white, good and bad, victim and perpetrator.
What singer Xriss Jor has to do with Lebanon, Dubai Music Week, and Quincy Jones?
Posted by: adonis49 on: October 12, 2013
What singer Xriss Jor has to do with Lebanon, Dubai Music Week, and Quincy Jones?
A jury that consisted of Timbaland and Will.i.Am chose Lebanese Xriss Jor as the winner of the talent part at the Dubai Music Festival. Xriss performed Listen by Beyonce. As a result, Jor will sign a record deal contract with Sony Music and producer Quincy Jones, who has worked previously with Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra.
She will get a single and a music video out of this.
Lebanese Xriss Jor Wins At Dubai Music Week, Signs Recording Contract With Quincy Jones
Xriss was competing with Emirati singer Hamdan Al Abri, Dubai-based Lebanese band Jay Wud, Lebanese singer DD Fox and Sudanese R&B singer Nile.
I figured her name was familiar so I looked into her some more and it transpired that she was a contestant on The Voice and managed to reach the later stages of the show before being disqualified in the 1/4 finals.
Those talent show contestants keep going at it until they hit the jackpot apparently.
Another batch will find its way to the spotlight tonight with the re-launching of Star Academy.
This seems to be Xriss Jor's most popular performance on The Voice:
And this is the version of Listen that I was able to find:
Dubai is all about music these days.
Another Lebanese band is participating in another music event taking place there.
Make sure you head to Pepsi Band Slam and support Adonis (Funny, my name just keeps popping up everywhere and in every industry)
Note: Got this link from Tania Saleh on FB "GOOSE BUMPS ALL THE WAY!!!!!WHAT AN AMAZING LEBANESE VOICE!!!!http://stateofmind13.com/2013/09/26/lebanese-xriss-jor-wins-at-dubai-music-week-signs-recording-contract-with-quincy-jones/
What do they share: Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Adele, Rihana…?
I am not into music. It happened that the French weekly magazine "Courrier International" issued a special number on women: Women in power, in sciences, in music…On the ground that if power corrupt, it can also corrupt people willing to take advantage of people in power…
It happened that I read the piece on pop music, and I leave it to you to judge on the good content of the article. The Guardian wrote: "The market for pop music is not big enough to for more than four pop singers. Somehow, it is expected that a couple of the top female singers will make room for two fresh faces in a year or two. Soon, we might realize that only one female singer held her ground and become of the same stature as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Britney Spears, or Mariah Carey…It is as we ask talent hunters to get busy on the street and fetch new young and photogenic faces for the pop music industry…"
Miranda Sawyer of The Observer responded: "Girl solo singers are easier to manage than a bunch of boy brats. Consequently, it is more profitable to focus on female singers." Leonie Cooper of New Musical Express simplified the equation: "As more women and girls attend concerts and do buy magazine dedicated to music, it is logical that female divas of the pop are more numerous"
It appears that Lady Gaga and Rihana are expected to stay on the scene for longer than the other top pop singers. It does not mean that the other singers will vanish into thin air and vacate the place, but they won't grab as much of the market.
Medias tend to generalize and simplify singers into two categories: One category is for the coquettish and sexy pin-up (Kylie Minogue, Beyonce, Britney, Christina Aguilera, or Duffy…); the other category is reserved for the rebel and moderately engaged pin-up such as Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stephani, P!nk, Lady Gaga, or Amy Whinehouse…)
Most of the pop singers tried to change category at different seasons and were successful in increasing their share of the market. There is a new trend of author-interpreter pop singers and have the last word on their public image such as Lady Gaga, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, or Clare Maguire…) The Swedish electropop Robyn owns her own label company and got out three albums within a year, while resuming her concert contracts.
Rihana special voice is conducive to dancing songs. One common factor that all pop singers share is that "sex doped sell" and they make good use of sex to increase selling. For example, "Baby one more time" of Britney sold over 10 million since 2000.
The blog "Hipster runoff" created the word "slutwave" for this sex trend in crude songs and bare bodies, and Rolling Stone magazine adopted the term. The female hip-hop trio group "Yo Majesty" reproduced the macho attitudes and grabbed their pussies…Lady Gaga said: "A few women opt to run after men, others after their dreams. If you hesitate to choose, remember that your career will never remind you when you wake up that it does no longer love you."
The idea of promoting a pop icon as representative of a life-style is very strong. For example, Cheryl Cole is current ambassador of L'Oreal, Lady Gaga for MAC cosmetic, Rihana for Nivea…One more advantage for female top singers is that they have no difficulties integrating commercial successes and individual integrity
Note: The authors of the piece "Les filles donnent le La" are Ines Munioz Martinez-Mora and Lucas Arrault.

In what was a tight league game that both teams struggled to control, FC Nantes came out the eventual 1-0 winners over Stade de Reims thanks to a second half strike. Reims set up in a 4-2-3-1 system with the wingers encouraged to stay high and wide when in possession but to track their full backs when defending. They set up in a fairly low block in an effort to make themselves hard to break down and this worked effectively for long periods of the game with chances coming at a premium. They looked to hit Nantes on the counter attack using their pace and directness and created a couple of openings but failed to produce enough in the final third to worry the opposition defence in what turned out to be a scrappy midfield battle.
- A1 – Very good, could play higher
- A2 – Strong potential to play higher
- B1 – Good, strong player at level
- B2 – Potential to be strong player at level
- C – Average for the level, rewatch
- D – Below average, don't follow up

- Position: Left Wing

- Preferred foot: Right
Dereck Kutesa had a fairly quiet yet promising display on the wing for Reims. Physically, he is 5'9″ but with a fairly big build and is very strong in duels and with the ball at his feet. He worked hard to track back in defence when the opposition had possession, tracking his full back to prevent an overload on the wing and won the ball on a couple of occasions with some sharp tackles. When his team had the ball, Kutesa's positioning was intriguing, staying very high and wide – hugging the touchline like a traditional winger in order to maintain his side's width. Perhaps as a result of this he saw less of the ball than he would have had he drifted inside, but he was also able to isolate the defender at times.
With the ball, the Swiss winger is very powerful and drives at the opposition, forcing them onto the back foot and is capable of using an impressive burst of pace to beat his man. Once in a position to deliver, his final ball was decent yet unspectacular and his decision making could have been better, shooting when a teammate was in a better position and trying to pass when perhaps a shot would have been more effective. The 22 year old also showed good awareness to make some clever first time passes in the middle third to set his team up for a counter attack and he only lost possession once or twice when tackled whilst dribbling.
Overall, Kutesa provided a threat for his team and was exciting to watch in possession but due to his constant width, he did drift in and out of the match at times before being withdrawn with 15 minutes left to play.

Disasi had a mixed game against Nantes, showing good defensive qualities and attributes for the most part yet also making some near-costly mistakes. The Frenchman was confident on the ball, perhaps overly so at times, making some sharp passes into the forwards and seeming happy to square the ball to the other central defender, but he also hit some loose passes into midfield and was caught on the ball by the striker in the first half which lead to the forward going through on goal before another defender made a good recovery tackle. He was capable of driving out of defence with the ball or playing some decent passes into the channel, but took too long in possession which lead to his options becoming increasingly limited.
Physically Disasi is very imposing, standing at 6'3 with a strong build and a good turn of pace, the 22 year old's physique suits his position well. He was strong and didn't take many prisoners in challenges or duels and showed impressive bravery to make some tackles and blocks. Aerially, at 6'3″ he would be expected to dominate but in this game it was a mixed bag, winning some but also missing a couple of potentially dangerous opposition crosses, one of which was lucky not to lead directly to a goal for Nantes. Disasi's positioning was to a good standard, rarely being drawn out of the defensive line by attacking runs and showing good awareness to cover for his teammates or make blocks.
On the whole, it was a fairly promising defensive display from the Frenchman, whose lax attitude in possession let his performance down. I would be interested to watch Disasi again to see if he improved later in the season as Reims had the best defensive record in the league.

Rajkovic had a solid game in goal for Reims, doing his job well for the most part. The Serbian held on to shots and loose balls, preventing them from rebounding to an opponent. He showed good awareness to be quick off his line and was decisive in his decision making to come out of his area to sweep up balls over the top. He had little to deal with in terms of dangerous shots, making one very good save of a shot that seemed destined for the top corner from 20 yards. However, he could also be open to criticism for being caught with his weight on his heels for the Nantes goal as the ball flashed across him from a relatively tight angle and he was unable to use either his hands or feet to block the shot, despite his initial positioning being good.
The Serbian international made some confident aerial claims, using his 6'3 stature to jump and catch the ball from crosses or long balls. He was capable of long clearances with either foot but his long kicks were also often inaccurate even though he was under little pressure, Rajkovic seemed confident when passing out from the back to his defenders.
Overall, the 24 year old put in a solid performance for his team, though may feel he could have done better for the goal.

Playing as the lone striker for Reims, Dia had to feed off scraps for a lot of this game, but showed some glimpses of promise along the way. At 5'11" Dia was capable of competing aerially, winning some good defensive headers whilst making some clever flick ons in the final third, especially one dangerous flick on from the near post at a corner. He was strong with his back to goal, winning fouls or holding up the play, and showed a good turn of pace when required. The striker made some good runs into the channels and adopted some promising positions when receiving the ball to feet.
His first touch varied, sometimes getting away from him, and he also overran the ball on a couple of occasions, consequently losing possession. However, he also showed some good close control to beat his man and found some smart passes to teammates. Perhaps Dia's attitude could have been more proactive, seeming fairly passive when defending and showing his frustration at committing a foul by kicking the ball away. The 23 year old had very few chances in front of goal and therefore failed to provide any real threat (this could be blamed on service at times), and he looked isolated when driving at the opposition defence on occasion.
Dia had a difficult game as the lone striker and failed to cause much danger for the opposition defence, but he showed glimpses of his capability and that he had potential.

Remi Oudin showed some quality, but also lacked a killer final ball and made some sloppy mistakes that lead to a loss of possession. Defensively he tracked back well, making some good recovery runs and hustling the attacking player. He won possession on a couple of occasions but also committed a reckless late foul and failed to maintain his concentration and track the full back once or twice.
With the ball, his first touch was mixed and he was dispossessed on two or three occasions, but he also made some very good progressive passes that helped his side move up the pitch. He showed good vision to find teammates and linked up well in the middle and final third. Oudin showed a decent turn of pace and was able to deliver a few crosses with varied success. The Frenchman had a good chance that he should have done better with, and also overhit some through balls in promising areas.
Overall, the winger demonstrated good vision and creativity but was unable to competently execute his final ball to a consistently high standard and this let down his game before being withdrawn for the final quarter of an hour.

Posted by scott gietler on January 03, 2005 at 13:49:58:
ok, now that I've dove the point dume pinnacles 4 times, I'm wondering if anyone has any strong current stories to share. I'll start with my own:
3 out of 4 times, it's taken me 20 minutes to swim to the pinnacles. But one time, it only took 5 minutes. The current was so strong we couldn't make any headway back. Luckily, it was a minus tide. We tried to make it into the cove next to the cliff, but couldn't make it. We barely made it into a small 8-ft cove next to the larger cove. A 2-minute climb over mussel-covered rocks brought us into the larger cove, and then an easy walk (due to the minus tide) brought us back to the parking lot.
Has anyone else ever got caught in a strong current? What happened?

text: I just wanted to quickly share this idea and suggest that it may be a great way to establish a bond with our new blended families or strengthen the bonds we already have. We don't have the boys every day of the week, so I'm going to leave one for each day, with the day of the week it was written for on their door. I think they will like it. I can sometimes be awkward when Expressing how I feel, so I'm excited for the opportunity to show them exactly how I feel in a way that they can continue to look back on.

I recently heard that there's nothing as powerful as a made up mind; I think this is where Nigeria is. Our election is underway and with the drama of card readers which apparently is not a respecter of persons (ask President Jona), propaganda from every corner, worrisome silence from the South East and South West regions (no 'rumour' of results from polling units over 24 hours after elections were conducted), result overload from Twitter and Facebook (even my sister in Canada sent me election results), an MOU between INEC and NURTW (amazing right?), ati bee bee lo….one thing is constant –Nigerians have been PEACEFUL and UNITED!
It hasn't always been like this, maybe never. It was slavery for God knows how long and even after Independence, we remained slaves to greed, ignorance, tribalism, ethnic and religious sentiments, corruption, injustice, wickedness. It doesn't take much to make another a slave; you don't need guns or money, just make their mind believe something other than the truth and that is what our 'masters' did to us. My God, we have believed a lot of things! Watching the INEC chair (and I beg to digress) address journalists a few hours ago on the elections, a Nigerian journalist with all the pressing issues, asked "Sir, what do you think the global impression of Nigeria will be as a result of this elections?" I could not believe it! Global impression? It's like when you have been told the solution to an ancestral curse and you are still concerned about 'what people will say'; even Jega hardly acknowledged his global impression question. Sadly, that is what my brother still believes. Back to our gist; THAT slavery has ended because somehow, someone found the truth that we are not meant to be slaves and it is spreading like wild fire! There's an awakening in the land and people are taking their position, getting battle ready! In my polling unit for instance, a Hausa community in Lagos; it started to rain during voting and INEC officials were forced to stop the process at some point because the ballot papers were getting wet and there was a high risk of tear and ink smearing. The community had provided a mat as a makeshift canopy against the harsh rays of the sun but water was dripping all over when it started to rain. The electorate would have none of that, they wanted to vote! Less than 20 feet from the polling unit stood a brand new market,locked up, awaiting commissioning. In the blink of an eye, the lock was broken and INEC officials and materials were safely moved to the brand new polling unit where voting and the rain continued till late evening. There were legitimate reasons to mar the process that day but Nigeria fought and Nigeria won!
No one knows what INEC will announce on Monday night but regardless of the outcome, CHANGE (not the party) is here! It is not business as usual, Nigeria is deciding her destiny this time. Not with violence but with her strength of mind, moral resolve, character. A new army is rising, one that will fight for justice and speak the truth. Whoever the winners are, genuine or imposed, we will demand accountability, we will push you for results and by all means vote you out if you do not deliver on your mandate. The dead days are OVER; this country is alive with blood flowing in her veins, yes! Blood that is deeply red and of course green! And as for global impression, the world will take note soon enough! God bless Nigeria!
