Forums > Model Colloquy > Skinny male models
I have a question, I see many models are primarily very built, yet there are some I see on runways where they are very tall and thin, not necessarily built at all, but very thin. Is that a niche, or is that the norm? Do high end fashion models have to be built? Or does the industry actually have a place for skinny tall male models as seen on some runways? If so, is that more common or less common? Just looking at the opportunities

Skinny male models are apparently the new "trend" for runway.
Learned something about it in college this semester. Professor was a model so he always liked to bring up stuff like that.

I actually for one of my classes wrote about this.
When I did some reading, some designers said that the buff models tend to only fit into certain types of modeling.
They said that their clothes looked better on skinnier guys due to the fact that not everyone has muscles everywhere.

Yes, that's the way they come nowadays...I miss the old times, give me a boy with muscles anyday rather than a walking coathanger...
I tend to feel the same way about chicks (in disliking the coathanger look I mean, not the muscles bit) but who am I to argue with high fashion? sigh...

We must remember that none of us designs clothes...
So when it comes to runway they prefer like they do women to have all or as most of their men uniform in shape and height...
I had my good part of my modeling training come from a designer, stylist, and photographer...
I was taught about lines, symmetry, etc., when it comes to body types in relation to posing/posture and how it's applicable within the industry. I wanted to get a little build and was told that it would be somethin that would work against me than help me. So I decided not to do bulk and just be toned/slight cut.
Also remember now that you can still be skinny and be cut...

A lot of male European models and very skinny and not particularly muscular.
Australia and America however are far more outdoorsy/sporty nations and prefer more muscular, built models to reflect our lifestyle.

NEW trend? As long as I've been looking at fashion magazines, ALL high fashion male models have been skinny and pale.
Skinny men make fancy clothes look more fancy.

Do you believe in unconditional love with someone other than your children ?
Awesome sense of humor!
My eyes
My dimples
Very attentive
Sense of humor
And I've been told very kissable lips!
"Natural born Soulmates" is one book that comes to mind. Puts somethings in perspective. For me anyway. As far as movies go, pretty much anything. Not a real sci-fi fan though.
Listen to music from opera to rock to r&b to some rap( if I can't understand the words or it's about violence, I don't waste my time) However, country music makes my ears bleed. Lol.
I'm a huge fan of Broadway shows.
I'm also big fan of going to the Metropolitan opera in NY. It's not for everyone. Don't knock it till you try it. Lol. I don't push it on anyone. Wasn't exposed until my mid 30's.
Have some great stories though.
And as far as food goes, I enjoy most foods with the exception of super spicy(don't understand the pain). And I won't eat smelly cheese. Lol. Otherwise I like trying new foods. I'm also a master at BBQing.
My job
Friends and family
"Heartmate". Hmmm? What does that mean? You!!!
"Being in love"
And last but not least, Oxygen.......lol
Too heavy ? Maybe!
How about spending long weekends someplace different with my "Heartmate". That's better!!! 😊
Listening to some Luther, a little lez miz, alfie boe(great voice) some Motown. Depends if I'm alone or with company.
Planning my weekend. BBQ dinner w/ some wine!
Last thing, I don't respond to "Hi", "Hey there", "Howdy", "Yo". You get the point!

Gladiator Screenwriter William Nicholson to Write 1066
by Brandon Lee Tenney
January 28, 2009
The year 1066 is regarded as one of the most tumultuous years in English history, where control for England's throne was fought over by King Harold and William the Conqueror, culminating in the famous Battle of Hastings. William's victory and the subsequent Norman takeover stands to this day as the last hostile invasion of Great Britain. And to adapt this historical showdown and epic confrontation to the screen is none other than William Nicholson, most renowned for his work co-writing the Gladiator screenplay back in 2000. Will he apply the same formula yet again to 1066 that worked so well for Gladiator?
Nicholson's script will focus on the comradeship between King Harold and William and their turn to deadly rivalry. Shine Pictures has fast-tracked the project and is believed to be in talks with a number of high-profile candidates for the pivotal lead roles. Whomever becomes involved, I'd say there's a sure chance that this will be full-on Oscar bait. As we saw just this past year and throughout this award season with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and its screenwriter Eric Roth, certain formulas resonate with critics and audiences alike -- even if if that formula is used by the same writer tackling many of the same themes.
With 1066, it's looking like Nicholson will be doing just that -- a certain comradeship poisoned by the allure of power, moral righteousness, and the pursuit of the underdog all set amidst an epic landscape of history. It worked with Gladiator and got him an Oscar nomination. Will Nicholson make it work in 1066?

"Daughter pregnant and with sepsis"
About: University Hospital Of North Durham University Hospital Of North Durham Durham DH1 5TW
Posted by Anonymous
My daughter was admitted via the pregnancy assessment unit onto Ward 9. Being 13 weeks pregnant and being a very anxious person, this was very traumatic for her, and us. The staff on the Pregnancy Assessment Unit and on Ward 9 were absolutely amazing. So hard working, personable and understanding of my daughters' anxiety. Allowing myself or my husband to be with her all day while her husband was at work and allowing him to come in later than visiting having put their toddler son to bed first, showed such sensitivity and understanding of my daughters needs and helped to take much anxiety away. Decisions on Sarah's treatment were well communicated and explained. We could not fault her care in any way and are so grateful to all involved in her care. The NHS works so hard within financial restraint and comes in for so much criticism from Government. We are so very blessed to have such wonderful and dedicated professionals who, despite being so unappreciated and criticised, are so committed and hard working and provide such wonderful service as that we have received from Ward 9 staff. Many thanks to you all.
Response from University Hospital Of North Durham 2 years ago

Re: I value your opinion..please...
I would try to narrow down the choices by process of elimination.
I think your CT is a nice enough rod and already covers most of the situations for which a 3 would be better than a 4 -- and there aren't that many of them anyway. So I think expanding or upgrading your 3 wt portfolio is not really a very productive way to spend your money, unless the mere pride of ownership is worth it to you.
As for 4 weights, you mention that you already have some. What are they? How much do you enjoy fishing them? Is there a gap that the Superfine would fill nicely? Or is there a particularly unloved rod that you would be happier replacing? That might tell you the best specs for your new rod.
A note on 4 weights: I know people out West who consider a fast-action 9' 4 weight to be the most versatile rod for most of the larger Western rivers, like the Madison, Gallatin, Yellowstone, Missouri, Snake, and Henry's Fork. However, the Superfine Touch is not that kind of rod. It is designed for delicate fishing in small and/or quiet waters. That being the case, I would lean toward a 7' to 8' rod, or maybe 8' 6" at the most. The longer you go, the more you lose in balance, sensitivity, delicacy and control. The main advantages of a longer rod are farther reach and a higher backcast, but a soft action like the Superfine is not going to give you the reach that a faster rod would anyway.
You may also find the legendary former Winston rod designer Tom Morgan's thoughts on rod selection helpful:

Why do Ireland play home games overseas?
They play almost exclusively at Belfast in the UK...they have a ground in Dublin and probably one in Shannon. Why don't they play any matches there? That would be like Bangladesh playing home games primarily in Eden Gardens.

Halloween is around the corner and I am pretty sure we will have many little girls out there wanting to be Elsa! I thought I would do a tutorial for this Elsa Frozen Look, which my daughter was more than happy to be my model for this project!
For my Elsa makeup look I used these MAC Shades that I got during the holidays, but you can use any pink and purple eye shadow. I also used Urban Decay eye primer for my base. If you haven't tried it I absolutely love their primer! Next I used simple snowflake stickers I found in the scrapbooking section which you can find at any craft store.
My little one is ready for her Elsa Makeover!
Step 1: I used my Urban Decay Primer all over eye lid
Step 2: Used my light shade of Mac Eye shadow all over the eye lid and under the lash line under the eye
Step 3: I used my darker shade of purple for the corner of the eyes and used my darker shade on half of the bottom lash line. Because my little girl is only 6 I didn't want to go crazy with mascara and eyeliner so I only used a little mascara and skipped the eyeliner. Plus I didn't want her to have raccoon eyes when she started rubbing her face.
Step 4: I used my little snow flakes stickers on the corner of her eyes.
Make up part done! Next we did her hair, for my daughters hair I just brushed it back and to the side and started a French braid from the top to the side.
Next I pulled her braid loose to give it the Elsa look. I just pinched the sides and pulled looser.
Elsa doesn't wear anything across her forhead but my little one insisted we put one on her like we did for Halloween last year! You can find this at Hobby Lobby in the Christmas section. We used those same stickers and added some in her braid like Elsa.
My little one had fun getting dolled up like Elsa for my tutorial!

|This page represents the current status of discussions within the Wikidata project team. It is used as a base for development. To avoid confusion please only update it to reflect updates of this status. If you want to discuss it, please use the Wikidata mailing list or the talk page. Thank you!
This document is a draft, and should not be assumed to represent the ultimate structure.
This historic note explains part of the RDF export of Wikidata and explains some of the considerations that led to this design . A more recent description of the RDF format used in Wikidata is found in the report Introducing Wikidata to the Linked Data Web, which supersedes most of the material on this page. Nevertheless, the new work is based on the old, and is compatible in most aspects. There is also a web page with periodic RDF exports of Wikidata based on the most recent format.
- 1 General notes
- 2 Motivation
- 3 Specification
- 4 Discussion of alternatives
- 5 To do
- 6 Namespaces
- 7 Acknowledgements
- 8 See also
General notes[edit]
The more you are familiar with the following topics the easier will it be for you to understand this note. If you cannot follow a part, feel free to use the references given here.
- RDF as the basic export model
- OWL for some constructs
- Turtle as a syntax
- Linked data principles
- Wikidata data model or at least the Wikidata data model primer
Furthermore, throughout this note we will not use the URIs that will be used in the system later on, but rather suggestive and convenient URIs that help to follow the argumentation in this note. There exists a separate note on the Wikidata URI scheme. The namespaces used in this note are listed at the bottom of the page.
For the following discussion, we introduce two statements with the same item and property, the first with two, the second with one qualifier:
|[no sources]
|as of November 30, 2011
|Method Extrapolation
|[1 source]
|as of 15th century
Ground triples[edit]
The simplest possible way to represent the first statement would be the following triple:
w:Berlin p:Population "3499879"^^xsd:integer .
We will call this triple the ground triple of the first example statement. The ground triple completely omits the qualifiers, which in case of the first example does not seem too bad. But the second statement is giving the population of Berlin as 8,000 in the 15th century. This would lead to the following ground triple:
w:Berlin p:Population "8000"^^xsd:integer .
If this ground triple was given too, Berlin would be in the result set when querying for cities with less than 10,000 inhabitants, which does not sound desirable.
Statements with qualifiers[edit]
Instead, we need to represent the statement including the qualifiers. Recommendations on how to represent this kind of data is given by the Semantic Web Best Practice note on Defining N-ary Relations on the Semantic Web. In the following we follow their recommendation (pattern 1, use case 1).
We have to introduce an intermediary node to represent the statement as such, and connect it to the item and the value. The following triples represent the claim from the first statement.
w:Berlin s:Population Berlin:Statement1 . Berlin:Statement1 rdf:type o:Statement . Berlin:Statement1 v:Population "3499879"^^xsd:integer . Berlin:Statement1 q:As_of "2011-11-30"^^xsd:date . Berlin:Statement1 q:Method w:Extrapolation . Berlin:Statement1 rdfs:label "3,499,879 (As of Nov 30, 2011, Method Extrapolation)"^en .
Note that we introduced two new properties,
s:Population (
s: like statement) and
v:Population (
v: like value) instead of the original
p:Population property (mind the namespaces). The original property, in the
p: namespace, is a datatype property that connects items directly with an integer value (i.e. the domain is item). The
s: property, on the other hand, is an object property connecting the item with the statement about it.
For the same reason we introduced the
q: properties for qualifiers, connecting a statement node with the value of the qualifier.
A user of the data could easily get the ground triple, either by adding an OWL2 axiom stating that
p:Population is derived from the property chain of
s:Population and
v:Population, or by using a SPARQL construct query with the same effect.
One additional feature in order to support Semantic Web browsers is to give the statement a label that corresponds to a human-readable form of the value including the qualifiers. The label would be exported in all available languages. This enables Semantic Web browsers to display the first triple in the above serialization in a useful way for the viewer of the data. We tested it with Marbles and the OpenLink Date Explorer.
In order to see how none and unknown are represented, please refer to the specification below.
Statements with references[edit]
Now that we have a node for the statement, it becomes trivial to add a reference.
Berlin:Statement1 prov:wasDerivedFrom Berlin:Statement1-Reference1 .
The provenance ontology is still a moving target, and it might be necessary to adapt this property later. Also we will further expand on how the references are modeled as soon as this is progressed further.
Representation of values[edit]
Note that the values might and usually are also further structured themselves. We will detail how the values are exported as we progress with specifying them further within Wikidata. Since values might often have a unit or an accuracy associated with them, they will often be represented as yet another intermediate node with the respective values attached to it. For our examples we only deal with the datatype entity.
The specification is defined as a mapping of Wikidata statements written in the Wikidata Object Notation to OWL2 axioms written in Functional-style syntax. The transformation of OWL2 axioms to RDF triples in turn is defined by the OWL2 standard, the result is given here for convenience as well. The current specification is slightly simplified for now as it omits
PropertySubclassOfSnak, and
The following is a reiteration of the relevant part of the Wikidata Object Notation.
|ItemDescription :=
|'ItemDescription(' Item {Statement} ')'
|Statement :=
|'Statement(' MainSnak {Qualifier} {ReferenceRecord} ')'
Every statement is translated into a number of OWL2 axioms as described below. Every statement is identified by a
StatementID which is a
MainSnak a PropertyValueSnak[edit]
If the
MainSnak is a
PropertyValueSnak, then it is translated as follows:
ObjectPropertyAssertion( s:Property Item StatementID ) ClassAssertion( o:Statement StatementID ) ObjectPropertyAssertion( v:Property StatementID Value ) Annotation( StatementID rdfs:label ValueLabel(Statement) )
|Serialization in RDF
Item s:Property StatementID . StatementID rdf:type o:Statement . StatementID v:Property Value . StatementID rdfs:label ValueLabel(Statement) .
s:Property is an
IRI that has the same local name as Property but replaces the
p: namespace with the
s: namespace. The same is defined for
v:Property and
q:Property respectively. Whenever one of the properties is used, an annotation property to connect them to the base property
p:Property will also be given. The function
ValueLabel returns an appropriate label describing the value of the statement including the qualifiers (not defined here).
MainSnak a PropertySomeValueSnak[edit]
If the
MainSnak is a
PropertySomeValueSnak, then it is translated as follows:
ObjectPropertyAssertion( s:Property Item StatementID ) ClassAssertion( o:Statement StatementID ) ClassAssertion( ObjectSomeValuesFrom( v:Property owl:Thing ) StatementID ) Annotation( StatementID rdfs:label ValueLabel(Statement) )
|Serialization in RDF
Item s:Property StatementID . StatementID rdf:type o:Statement . StatementID rdf:type _:1 . _:1 rdf:type owl:Restriction . _:1 owl:onProperty v:Property . _:1 owl:someValuesFrom owl:Thing . StatementID rdfs:label ValueLabel(Statement) .
MainSnak a PropertyNoValueSnak[edit]
If the
MainSnak is a
PropertyNoValueSnak, then it is translated as follows:
ObjectPropertyAssertion( s:Property Item StatementID ) ClassAssertion( o:Statement StatementID ) ClassAssertion( ObjectAllValuesFrom( v:Property owl:Nothing ) StatementID ) Annotation( StatementID rdfs:label ValueLabel(Statement) )
|Serialization in RDF
Item s:Property StatementID . StatementID rdf:type o:Statement . StatementID rdf:type _:1 . _:1 rdf:type owl:Restriction . _:1 owl:onProperty v:Property . _:1 owl:allValuesFrom owl:Nothing . StatementID rdfs:label ValueLabel(Statement) .
Qualifier is translated as follows. If the
Qualifier is a
PropertyValueSnak, then it is translated as follows:
ObjectPropertyAssertion( q:Property StatementID Value )
|Serialization in RDF
StatementID q:Property Value .
If the
Qualifier is a
PropertySomeValueSnak, then it is translated as follows:
ClassAssertion( ObjectSomeValuesFrom( q:Property owl:Thing ) StatementID )
|Serialization in RDF
StatementID rdf:type _:1 . _:1 rdf:type owl:Restriction . _:1 owl:onProperty q:Property . _:1 owl:someValuesFrom owl:Thing .
If the
Qualifier is a
PropertyNoValueSnak, then it is translated as follows:
ClassAssertion( ObjectAllValuesFrom( q:Property owl:Nothing ) StatementID )
|Serialization in RDF
StatementID rdf:type _:1 . _:1 rdf:type owl:Restriction . _:1 owl:onProperty q:Property . _:1 owl:allValuesFrom owl:Nothing .
ReferenceRecord is given a
ReferenceID which is an
IRI. Every
ReferenceRecord is translated as follows:
ObjectPropertyAssertion( prov:wasDerivedFrom StatementID ReferenceID )
|Serialization in RDF
StatementID prov:wasDerivedFrom ReferenceID .
Discussion of alternatives[edit]
The following discussion is for giving rationales to the design decisions in this note and can be skipped if the reader is not interested in them.
Punning for the property names[edit]
Instead of having different properties in the
v: and
q: namespaces, turning every property in Wikidata to four in the RDF export, we could have used a single property and just use it in all the four use cases. In almost all cases it would still be clear which property is actually used:
p: connects the item with the value,
s: the item with the statement,
v: the statement with the value, and
q: is used for qualifier, connecting the statement with the qualifier value. The only case of ambiguity would be between the
v: and
q: as they both connect the statement with a value, and it leads to an ambiguity if a qualifier with the same property is used as in the ground triple.
Punning is in general frowned upon on the Semantic Web, but it is not unheard of, e.g. in OWL2 individuals and classes can be punned in general. Also a recent proposal for the notorious HTTP-range14 discussion proposes to use punning as a solution.
We decided to not use punning in our case, but rather to accept the proliferation of properties. The reason for that is that it is not only best practice, but also necessary for the OWL2 DL serialization to be valid OWL as we need to make a clear difference between object and datatype properties.
We also wanted to ensure that the vocabulary developed within Wikidata will be reusable outside of Wikidata. As in most cases we expect external data publishers to use the direct representation of data with triples—i.e. just the ground triple—we also wanted to ensure that such a property is available for external reuse. Ironically this property is not the one we use in the Wikidata export itself, but there are well defined relationships between them, as described above.
Named graphs[edit]
Adding a reference to a claim can be done in three ways:
- put every claim in one file and then add provenance metadata about that file
- put every claim in a named graph and then add provenance metadata about that graph
- reify every claim so that we can add provenance metadata directly to the claim
Ad 1: Having one file for every claim would lead to many files. Even if you are conservative and expect about only ten statements per item, resolving that item would require ten or more HTTP requests. This is prohibitively slow, especially considering that they are all very small files that we are requesting. It also would lead to an unreasonable amount of load on the server, something MediaWiki is not very well equipped for (a server based on Node.js or Twisted would probably be much better equipped for that, though).
Ad 2: The file holding all statements about an item could also contain a named graph for every single claim and then add metdata about these graphs, like the references. Whereas this could be a solution, there is, as of time of writing, no standard for the serialization of named graphs in files. There are a number of contenders (TriX, TriG, NQuads, etc.), but none of them is even on the way of becoming a standard.
Ad 3: See the section on reification below.
Quads are a serialization for RDF that add a name (IRI) for every triple (the fourth value), or alternatively a context (i.e. it groups triples into sets). There is again no standard serialization for quads, and also no standard semantics.
Reification as per RDF standard is widely regarded as bloated and disliked. RDF introduces its own reification syntax, which has never really caught on. Due to its widely negative reputation, and due to discussions about deprecating reification from RDF, we decided against using this mechanism.
Publish the ground triple[edit]
One alternative decision regards the publication of the ground triple. We decided not to publish it, in order to be more consistent through the RDF serialization of our data model. It avoids publishing a triple like stating the population of Berlin at 8,000 as per above example.
One might say to publish unqualified statements with the ground triple at least, and not to do so for qualified statements. Again we decided against it: first, we would need to represent the statement anyhow in order to publish the reference. Second, this would mean that we would publish potentially conflicting ground triples in the same file - if there are two different sources for two different statements. By publishing everything on the level of statements only, we can remain consistent throughout the dataset by always remaining on the level of statements, taking the role of Wikidata as a secondary database serious.
To do[edit]
- Representation of labels, descriptions and sitelinks
- Representation of data values
- Representation of references
- Representation of rank
- Representation of the following Snaks: InstanceOf, SubclassOf, PropertyInterval, and PropertySomeInterval
w:for Wikidata items
o:for the Wikidata ontology (a fixed and small set of terms)
p:for Wikidata properties
q:for properties used as qualifiers
s:for properties used to connect items and statements
v:for properties used to connect statements and values
Berlin:used as a shortcut for
w:Berlinbut defined as a prefix
prov:with their usual meanings
The data model and its serialization in RDF has been created with input from the whole Wikidata team, especially Markus Krötzsch and Daniel Kinzler. It further was deeply informed by the RENDER project and ongoing discussions there on how to represent a diversity of knowledge, special thanks to Elena Simperl, Andreas Thalhammer, and Ioan Toma. It was also strongly influenced by discussions during the ESWC Summer School 2012, special thanks go to Aidan Hogan, Barry Norton, and Dan Brickley. Discussions during the time at KIT helped further sharpen it, special thanks to Andreas Harth, Steffen Stadtmüller, Daniel Herzig and Günter Ladwig. It was also based on discussions concerning Shortipedia, special thanks to Varun Rathnakar and Yolanda Gil. --Denny Vrandečić (WMDE) (talk) 09:50, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Concentrix are a company who were hired by HMRC to carry out tax credits checks until May 2017. Their contract has been terminated and their investigations and checks have ended. Concentrix used automated systems to carry out searches of financial records. Their searches triggered investigations called compliance checks.
See our statement about Concentrix here
If you were investigated by Concentrix and had your tax credits suspended or stopped and wish to make a complaint you can contact HMRC .
Reporting changes in your circumstances – if your circumstances have changed, for example if you've changed your working hours, started living with a new partner or changed your childcare arrangements, see our factsheet tax credits when your circumstances change for information on when you should inform HMRC.
Page updated 17/01/17
I renewed my tax credits as normal in July 2016 and this was accepted via telephone. In August I was then amazed to find that my CTC had stopped. I work full time and my son is 8 so childcare is very important to me. I phoned tax credits who informed me that my childcare had stopped due to a letter they sent to me in April. I informed I could 100% faithfully inform I had received no letter requesting my childcare information. In previous years I have been requested this information and always provided what was needed of me. They then advised me to fill in a mandatory reconsideration which I sent recorded delivery with all my bank statements and child-minder contract. It is 5 weeks later and I have not had anything correspondence back. I have tried phoning and the line is either constantly engaged or when I finally get through I am on hold for a least 45 mins to be told they are very busy.......They must be very busy as it seems they have sent invisible letters to claimants who are totally confused and frustrated to have their money stopped. Its a disgrace!!!. I am now writing to my local MP as I believe this helps. Luckily my parents have been able to lend me the money for my sons childcare until this is sorted out or I may have lost my childcare and without childcare I would not have a job.
I agree with everyone points here , this is a real problem for one parent familys.
It's not right that we are all singled out for living without a partner and those that move to another property and don't change their details makes us look like we are all up to something but we anit.
I think that now when people rent a property should also fill in the election roll form ,this should stop people being accused of something that is false information.
Where do I start?! Concentrix have totally taken the mick! I got my letter requesting information, which I sent recorded delivery costing £15! Unfortunately they received it ONE DAY LATE! 4WEEKS without any payment, 4 weeks!! With 4 children living on £60pw in the school holidays is awful, not to mention I have no school uniform for them to go back next week. Ooo and the helpful Customer service advisors only information was "it's not my fault, it'll take as long as it takes" So what am I supposed to do?? Yes you've got it nothing, there isn't anything I can do. Currently having to use our local food bank, my bank charges are astronomical. I don't have family where I live after fleeing domestic violence. And guess what triggered it! The people who lived here prior to me haven't changed their address, totally ridiculous
Well that company have just out me back in debt again. After waiting 40 min for them to answer they said I may not have any money for 30days. I rely on my bursary to pay my rent and my tax credits to get shopping and direct debits. I am a student so now I will be getting into more debt as I can't pay my direct debts this month, also need school uniform. I don't know where to turn for help. They are just unhelpful and don't see how they can just stop your money. It's ridiculous the amount of paper work they want. Iv been awake since 3am worrying how I am going to get through this month.
Got a letter saying that they closed my single claim .
No letter received prior to this one.
Rang ctc and they told me that's it cause I haven't declared a partner living with me .I told them I don't have a partner so they to contact concentrix .
I tried 7 times and was just left waiting.
I have wasted 3 hours of my time and money with them not answering.
Im now writing a letter to hmrc to sudmit a complaint and also to ask to sudmit a mandatory claim for my ctc to be reinstated as the informatin which concentrix holds is false and concentrix stopped my claim without asking for any paperwork to prove that it's just me and my son who live there .
This is unfair on single parent and that we are being singled out because we live without a partner so pick on us .
This is bang out of order .
Now me and my son don't have any family where we live as they have left the area to move to different places and towns.
So without the ctc I'm going to suggle with bills and food .
I buy my electric weekly as I'm on meters and top up weekly so now I'm screwed cause I won't have the ctc each week .
God know how we will live until they sort it .
I haven't received an initial letter that they said they'd sent back in june. They've stopped my child tax credits so now I have next to nothing coming in. nothing for 2 weeks. Apparently I can get a mandatory consideration, so they've sent a letter out requesting a whole heap of information. I've just spent my last pence in the phone box as my mobile is broken. So how I'm supposed to get the information with no money I don't know. My saving grace ismy son is with his dad the next 2 weeks
I never received an initial letter from Concentrix - only a letter informing me they had completed their checks - I'm now without child tax credits, and an overpayment from last year of £7707 because they believed my ex husband was still living with me (he moved out in 2010 and I divorce was finalized in April this year). This is a lot of stress to be put under especially now when I'm struggling to meet ends meet while I sort out the issues and all the documents they have requested.
I received a letter last year, I think I mut have been one of the first as it was easy to get hold of Concentrix, they told me they agreed it was ludicrous and that 30,000 letters had been sent to lone parents, talk about marginalising a group of people. I sent all my papers after getting reassurance that they were employed by HMRC, I have never had a partner at this address, I live with my 14 years old son. God alone knows what that must have cost the tax payer!!
I also had a letter from these people asking for bank statements a whole years and other things which I gladly provided for them . As they also said I was living with a partner hhmmm ok then with out any explanation my tax credits have been stopes for the last three weeks .. I'm also a single parent with two small children and work and I do every thing by the book and this happens to me also . So in the last four weeks I was on the sick at work whilst this happened and Iv had to live on 320 for a month till I return back to work and get a half decent wage to pay my bills , Iv had to cancel all my direct debits cause I couldn't afford bank charges when they bounce .. Iv had to stay at my mams , my other daughters just to help out as I cnt even afford to put electric and gas on I'm fuming they think they can just treat u like this with out any explanation what so ever . And to top it off they said they stopped my credits cause I had my mams disabilitie money going into my account until she got her self a new bank account ( we obviously don't have the same surname ) I explained this in a letter heading when I sent off the credentials they wanted .. On the phone the man says to me well how do we know it's your mother ? It could be ur partner bloody hell I nearly fell to the floor I said check the bloody ref that goes with it ? Did they do that ? No they didn't they have just said I'm not entitled to any and I have to pay X amounts of money I think not I will fight this all the way Iv done nothing wrong what so ever Iv now got to work more hours less time with my kids just to try and make ends meet who are these people who can just come and destroy some one life with out even checking out the full extent of things, off to citizen advice see what they have to say and for the life me Iv searched a number of avenues to see what rights we have if any at all an I will fight for what is right surely some one should be able to fight our corner .. Heaven knows if all fails I'll leave my job and go on social or what ever they call it these days this is what this company will do to people I. Worked since the day Iv left school I dnt see why they should be able to do this without real evidence of any crime committed .. Why don't the target the dole wollers who can actually work yet falsely claim benefits I'm there is a much larger scale of things there ooooo rant over hopefully I'll be able to sort something out I feel sorry for all those people who are going through the same things as me it's just not fair
This lot have put some much stress on me. I'm a single dad looking after my disabled son. Two months ago I was contacted by concentrix saying another adult was living with me, which isn't true I've been single five years, I had to send proof of my divorce,with bank statements,rent agreement and bills I had a letter today two months after I sent the information. Returning what I sent saying they will write soon in regards to my tax credits, I have been honest with them but am stressing the tax credits put food on table etc.. If we lose that we will be homeless as I can't work full time. Has anyone else had such a letter.
I had a letter from Concentrix back in May this year, it really concerned me as it said it had information that someone lived with me ( I only live with my 15 yr old son) I phoned them and they said I had to send all the information they requested which was bank statements, rental agreement, council tax letter, and all my household bills. I was not happy as it cost me an ink cartridge of £13 to print all my statements off and another £9 for postage.
I phoned them again asking who is it they believe lives with me, they then said do I know this person giving me a name to which I said yes it's my ex wife, they said they believed she is living with me as they have information from a credit reference that she is, I said we had a loan which we took out in both names 3 years ago and I'm still paying it as it was mine although it was in joint names, they asked me to send another letter with that information which I did.
Today I had a letter back from Concentrix saying they had done their checks and everything is fine, and my tax credits award is correct and don't need amending.
I know it's a pain but if you have nothing to hide like me get it done the sooner the better then you can relax again.
I had a letter from them a few months ago doing an audit on the last 18 months of my life. Had to provide every last bit of info you can imagine, all my bank statements, payslips, credit card bill, gas, electric etc etc. Cost me nearly £7 in total postage.... The worst part of all though was having to justify & explain why my father had paid money into my bank account to cover my travel costs to visit him while he was undergoing cancer surgery/treatment, as he lives hundreds of miles form me..... Made me feel like a criminal & found the whole experience very distressing as am such an honest person & yet felt like I,d done something wrong.....
I recieved a letter from this group in November, telling me that I was living with my ex-partner. I have disputed this. I sent in all the paperwork that they asked for, they lost several pieces of thi, and have now concluded that I am living with my ex! The fact that he rents his own flat the opposite side of town from me, matters nothing to them, as when I provided them with his rental agreement, they then said well he must be sub-letting. I have set up a government petition, as I feel that this could be dealt with a lot quicker, and my post would not have got lost, if they had a group email that I could of scanned my paperwork too. I am now in the process of of doing a mandatory reconsideration, and am fully prepared to go all the way to court with this, I have records of all calls made through out the year of 2015, and names of the call handlers that I spoke to. Concentrix have been nothing but rude, cutting me off,and telling me that I am lying. Please sign this petition, as nothing will be done about this unless enough people shout loud enough.
Hi I've just joined after a web search about concentrix and finding your site.
I want to say DON'T PANIC if you've just received a letter from concentrix.
After reading the advice heading the page, I called concentrix and it seems that the audit was triggered by the former tenant still having some details registered here.
It's difficult not to worry and stress out when you feel that you're under suspicion and that your income's vulnerable. But please do try to be polite and calm and do contact them. It's a real bind having to collate all the info requested but we just have to do it. MOST OF ALL DON'T WORRY - IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING SIMPLE THAT'S TRIGGERED THE ENQUIRY.
I have been assisting a disabled person in receipt of working tax credits. Never in my entire life have I been spoken to so rudely by so many staff at Concentrix and I have had to constantly remind them I am the rep not the claimant. Their behaviour is disgraceful and they spend a lot of their time when they are not being rude or putting the phone down, blaming the Inland Revenue. I am currently complaining to both the CEO of the Inland Revenue and Concentrix regarding their behaviour. Concentrix's motto is guilty until proven innocent and their correspondence is not only aggressive but they make accusations without first obtaining any evidence. I used to think the Inland Revenue were the most inefficient and rude organization but Concentrix now takes first place for complete and utter lack of customer service.
They have stopped my money 1st dec 2015 , they purposely make it hard for you to contact them, they have no valid email address and put a fake one on the letters , I am doing a petition to get this company scrapped , we need your support an I need my money NOW! this is discrimination against single mums ...https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/116217/sponsors/kNlFg1U4O9PuMxBMRxUQ
This whole situation is a farce. I had my tax credits stopped back in April 2015; they have never told me why. Only that I have to prove that I am a single parent. I would like to be able to tell them to prove that I am not a single person. After all these months it ua still not sorted, so I have to make my money strech. This is so not funny, I could scream. Things are getting tougher and Christmas is round the corner. When is mr Osborne and mr Cameron going to see that by cutting working tax credits from people THEY make people not want to go to work! I just don't know what to do or where to go. It seems that they have a backlog of only 3million.
I have also recently had to send reams of paperwork to prove I am indeed living on my own with my four children cost me £10 in total money that to be honest could've been better spent! I've included several things to prove my husband left in January. Had all my paperwork returned today and I'm awaiting the outcome I know I've done nothing wrong and I'm clearly not defrauding them but after watching the panorama programme about them I'm worried stiff they may stop my money and then what would I do? Just be glad when it's all sorted out :(
I got a letter from concentrix saying they stopped my money cause someone eles was claiming from my house when there wasn't I sent them all info they asked for now I'm living off 30 pound a week with 2 children been 11 weeks so far still haven't had any money every time I ring they just tell me I'm in a list really starting to stress me
I only heard about all of this yesterday when I received a letter. I've been a single parent for 13 years, so their claim of "having information" that I'm living with someone is just bonkers. I've never been married and never had anything like a join bank account that they claim generates their interest in you. I've sent everything they asked for, reluctantly, and wrapped it up in sarcasm https://bigspads.wordpress.com/2015/11/09/jumping-through-tax-credits-hoops
I too have received one of these letters, I sent in all the documents weeks before the deadline and they have now had them for about a month and I still have not heard anything. I couldn't understand where they had got the information from as I have been single for a long time, It seems very unfair that single parents are being singled out when all we are trying to do is get by.
I too am being accused of having a partner, that does not exist & have to provide a full tax year 2014 to 15 of sensitive information, bank statements, utility bills, CTAX, mortgage, etc etc. how can this prove or disprove anything? It's an absolute insult. I've read (article by Independant Newspaper) that this is to meet Concentrix employees weekly statistics & it is putting huge pressure on charities to help claimants. This is a private USA company who benefits financially from cutting Tax Credits. So does that mean that they don't actually have any information at all that single parents are living with someone else, it's just the easiest group of people to pick on & get away with, whilst meeting their statistics? The article also states that the Concentrix employees are not fully trained & are under pressure to meet huge weekly targets, so lots of errors are being made.
this company dealing with the childcare side of things is an absolute shambles, they should have left it the way it was, i have just taken on a new contract at work (more hours) so called to update my claim and let them know about change in childcare costs for me to phone hm revenue a few days later and they hadnt even done it for me to them call them back again and tell them again about the claim to wich i said to the guy i spoke to is it definatly going to be put through this time and for it to not be and they are not investigating the claim not only that but they have canceled ALL childcare on the claim why i dont have a clue because i did was call and tell them my chilcare costs had gone up by an extra £40 absolute shambles of a company ...... never had so much hastle to take on extra hours in a job in my whole life i am a single parent of two so it is a struggle at the best of times now with no help with childcare at the moment its even worse and taking on more hours has meant to have helped with cash flow ................... i aslo got the letter to "check" my childcare costs and aparently they never recieved the information i sent in 3 weeks before it was due. ******* JOKE
Received a letter on Sat 30th May, though it was dated 1st June!!
The list of supporting documents is also insulting. The fact that I had already renewed my claim, confirming I am happily single. To be accused of living/married was bizarre.
It has taken a couple of hours of persistence to get through on the phone. After 30 mins on hold. It is suggested my address is being used by someone else. (Ongoing mail thefts in building). Did say do they realise how much postage will be on such a large parcel? Don't have to send everything as bank statements cover DD payments. Reduced list somwhat. Very frustrating & worrying.
Completely agree, it's so upsetting being told to provide every detail about what feels like my life, because I'm outside of their expectation. My 'enquiry' requests everything, bank, utilities, council tax, home office letters, court orders, bankruptcy, pension, the list goes on and these statements are to cover a whole year, be original and who's paying for the recorded deliveries, my time gathering this information -all for the penalty of being a poor honest single parent. Utterly devastating.
I'm not sure I have ever been so insulted! Received my letter today asking for a whole year's worth of bank statements! The government is completely out of touch with reality. It is hard enough being a single parent, without this intrusive inspection of my private life - which apparently I am no longer entitled to. I am trying my hardest Mr P.M. being a mother, father, sole bread winner and studying. My reward for this is being accused of being a criminal without being told the charge!

You purchased your Custom because its dependability and versatility agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? When your Dodge Custom was born, it was destined for a driver who wants a trusted name in their automobile. Obviously, you didn't buy your Custom unless you knew that you wanted power and great value both rolled up into one vehicle. Your Dodge dealership isn't the only place to find trusted repair parts to fix your Custom.
Your car or truck uses liquid coolant to maintain a constant temperature in the engine, and the device that controls the flow of coolant so that the engine can remain cool is your thermostat. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; bypassing the flow of coolant through your radiator. This gets the coolant hot so that the engine warms up. Once it reaches an ideal temperature, your Dodge Custom thermostat then opens up and allows the coolant into the radiator. Now your coolant is part of a constant cycle in your Dodge Custom engine that keeps it within a specific range of temperatures that are determined for the engine to achieve the best balance between power, fuel efficiency, and emissions... all thanks to the thermostat.
Get your Custom back on the road with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Need 1961, 1960, 1959, 1958, 1957, 1956, 1955, 1948, 1947, 1946 Dodge Custom Thermostats parts? We've got them right here.

A Crown for Cold Silver : Book One of the Crimson Empire Hardback
by Alex Marshall
Part of the Crimson Empire series
For fans of Joe Abercrombie, Robert E. Howard and Scott Lynch comes a diverse and action-packed tale of a warrior out for revenge, from a bold new voice in the fantasy genre.
Readers will fall in love with the Red Sonja-like Zosia and her Five Villains.
Kameron Hurley says 'an epic fantasy that will surprise you ...if you think you know what's coming, think again.' Cold Cobalt, the Banshee with a Blade, First Among Villains ...When there were no more titles to win and no more worlds to conquer, the warrior queen Zosia faked her demise and gave up her legend to history.
But when violence finds its way to her door years later, she must round up her adventuring companions -- each surprised to see her alive -- and set out for revenge.
Time has not been kind to her old comrades, and some have only their own goals in mind.
Not only that, but there's a young, beautiful and skilled general out there, gathering soldiers to her banner for a war against the deadliest of enemies.
The girl is using a legend she did not earn, and calling herself by a name that was never hers -- that of Zosia herself.

A naked position refers to a situation in which a trader sells an option contract without holding a position in the underlying security as protection from an adverse shift in price. Naked positions are regarded as very risky because some positions can, in theory, lead to an unlimited amount of loss. This is why many brokers do not allow inexperienced traders to place this type of order.
For example, if the writer of a call option does not own the underlying security, he will be exposed to extreme risk because if the price of the underlying heads dramatically higher, he will be obligated to sell the underlying to the purchaser at the predetermined strike price. (To learn more, see Naked Call Writing.)
Let's assume that the current price of XYZ Company is $11 and an option trader sells 10 call options with a strike price of $15 for $50 per contract. The price of the option contract is quoted in terms of each share that a contract represents (most commonly, a contract will represent 100 shares). In nearly all publications, you will see a quote such as $0.50, which means that each contract is selling for $50 ($0.50 x 100). In our example, the option writer will collect $500 (($0.50 x 100) x 10), and he is entitled to keep this premium if the price closes below the $15 strike price upon expiration. However, if XYZ Company releases news about its new products and the price soars to $40 and our option writer has a naked position (i.e. he does not hold the shares), he will be required to buy the shares on the market at $40 and sell them to the purchaser of the option at $15. Thus, the option writer would lose the amount equal to the difference between the market price and the strike price, multiplied by 1,000 (which is the number of shares in 10 option contracts), minus the amount received from the sale of the options (($40 - $15) x 1,000) - 500 = $24,500).
The chance that you will incur a large loss like this one is the reason why many brokers do not allow individual traders to place this type of trade, and it is why this type of trade should only be attempted by experienced traders. Theoretically, a company's shares could increase in value without limit, so the option writer would be exposed to unlimited loss potential.

Back to the wolves, I think Collin and Brady will be in Breaking Dawn Part 1. Remember them? They were the youngest members of the pack. I think they will be in the movie because there are nine wolves in this photo, and though there are ten members of the pack, I don't think only Collin or only Brady would have been cast; I think that both characters would have been cast. Though they could be combined for the movie, like Jessica & Lauren and Eric & Ben. You never know. So what do you think about Collin and Brady in Breaking Dawn? My opinion? Though neither character says much throughout the entire novel, I say they should be in the movie. The more wolves, the better.
With Twilightish love,
(Note: When I listed the wolves in the picture, I did not list them in any sort of order which they are standing in. Sorry, my knowledge of which one is which in wolf form is a little fuzzy, though I do know which wolves some of the characters are in wolf form. :P)

How to add values to the existing data?Asked by pb2681 on February 11, 2017 at 09:37 PM
I would like to know if my result can have an additional value to the dropdown data that has been entered in the form. For example, on the form if a user picks Head Ache from the dropdown list, I want my result to be Head Ache, G44.0. Every dropdown item will have a different value.
Jotform is so cool, hopefully, this also is possible?
Thank you
JotForm Support
I understand that you want to assign a value to the dropdown list. Please take a look at the following guide that can help you with assigning calculation values to the dropdown.
Hope this information helps!
Thank you
Do you have video demo for this? I am able to get the result from the surveying value but not sure how I can change the field name of the result.
Never mind, I got it. Thank you all for your support.
