Public Financial Knowledge Infrastructure: Is Your Debt Time-barred?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

   This basic post is meant to be useful for anyone wishing to give a 5-minute seminar at the Metro/Trolley/Bus stop.
Please share widely.
Now that we know what a Statute of Limitations
is,  statutes-of-limitations and how to get the  Validated information  on your debt, you have the information that a legal expert needs to figure out if your debt is still enforceable in your state (or DC).
You should also look at your credit report, since debts are often listed by type there, as well.
1.  revolving  or open, is credit card;
2.  written contract is an apartment lease, for example;
3.  verbal contract;
4.  promissory notes.
        Again, many web sites list the various SoLs by state, but be sure to compare the SoL in your state with the online legal code of your state, and be sure that it is up to date…

Relacionamento abusivo

Relacionamento abusivo

Não ignore coisas que te machuca dentro de uma relação. Lembre-se: o relacionamento abusivo, é o oposto ao relacionamento saudável; tido como ideal, onde há amor, carinho, respeito e consideração dentre outros pelo parceiro/parceira. Se você tiver essa questão clara em sua mente, saberá dizer ” não ” ao que machuca.

Vale refletir sobre isso!..

” Ofendi- vos, Meu Deus, bem é verdade;

É verdade, meu Deus, que hei delinquido,

Delinquido vos tenho, e ofendido,

Ofendido vos tem minha maldade

Luz, que Claro me mostra a salvação,

A salvação pretendo em tais abraços,

Misericórdia, Amor, Jesus, Jesus.

Maryland Police Officer Indicted for Excessive Force and Witness Tampering | OPA | Department of Justice

Officer Philip Dupree, 38, formerly of the Fairmount Heights Police Department in Maryland, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of violating a man’s civil rights and obstruction of justice.

The indictment alleges that during the early morning hours of Aug. 4, 2019, Dupree was on duty as a Fairmont Heights Police Officer when he conducted a traffic stop in the District of Columbia. Dupree allegedly detained a man identified as T.S. and then deployed pepper spray in an unreasonable use of force against him. Dupree allegedly obstructed justice by submitting a probable cause statement that offered a false justification for his use of force on T.S.

Dupree faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for his alleged use of unreasonable force. The obstruction of justice charge carries with it a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

Big student loan forgiveness plan announced by Biden

Borrowers who earn less than $125,000 a year, or families earning less than $250,000, would be eligible for the $10,000 loan forgiveness, Biden announced. For those who also receive Pell Grants, which are reserved for undergraduates with the most significant financial need, the federal government would cancel up to an additional $10,000 in federal loan debt.

“Both of these targeted actions are for families who need it the most: working and middle class people hit especially hard during the pandemic,” Biden said in remarks at the White House Wednesday afternoon.

Biden is also extending a pause on all federal student loan payments for what he called the “final time” through the end of 2022.

If his plan survives legal challenges that are almost certain to come, it could offer a windfall to many in the run-up to this fall’s midterm elections. More than 43 million people have federal student debt, with an average balance of $37,667, according to federal data. Nearly a third of borrowers owe less than $10,000, and about half owe less than $20,000. The White House estimates that Biden’s announcement would erase the federal student debt of about 20 million people.

“That’s 20 million people who can start getting on with their lives,” Biden said. “All this means, people can start to finally crawl out from under that mountain of debt. To get on top of their rent and utilities. To finally think about buying a home or starting a family or starting a business.”

Playing with Light & Air

The Twisting Tail

It seems to me that everything in the light and air ought to be happy; Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.

Walt Whitman

I hold my breath
My Lungs
Feel Distended
I probe between ribs
At the pressure
Release
Will come
Whether I breath
Or not


Blue blood
In the vein
Is a trick of the light
Red blood
Out the vein
Is a trick of the air


It is a common myth that veins are blue because they carry deoxygenated blood. Blood in the human body is red regardless of how oxygen-rich it is, but the shade of red may vary.


To illuminate
The ambience of light
Without
Reference to
Shady manipulation
Treats the
Matter too lightly


Water
has its way
  with light
Air
has its way
   with water


When light travels from air into water, it…

Glioblastoma: killing brain tumor cells

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

As stated previously, I usually don’t write about experimental research unless there is a good reason to do so. Preliminary findings have a way of changing. That’s why they are preliminary.

However, glioblastoma is a common form of brain tumor, and the five-year survival rate is a pathetic 5%. Further we have a class of experimental drugs, one of the most promising of which is designated KL-50, that may be in clinical trials in the relatively near future and that preliminary testing has shown to be quite effective against this horrible disease.

This new class of drugs is a direct attack on the disease. They cause fatal damage to the DNA of cancer cells without harming non-cancerous cells in the body.

Cancer cells are simply normal cells that have incurred mutations causing uncontrolled growth. There are a variety of factors that can cause these mutations, including chemicals, radiation and types…

♫ White Rabbit ♫ (Redux)

Filosofa's Word

Well, last night I played ‘Puff The Magic Dragon’ and most of you liked it, but Clive was not among the cheerleaders for the song!  So, tonight’s song is of a different bent and I have it on good word that Clive likes this one, so …


I frequently make reference to being “down in the rabbit hole”, meaning my mood, mind and psyche are in a dark place, usually from the topics I write about, sometimes for more personal reasons.  But this song, written by Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, is about another sort of rabbit hole altogether.

Slick got the idea for this song after taking LSD and spending hours listening to the Miles Davis album Sketches Of Spain, especially the opening track, “Concierto de Aranjuez.”

Slick based the lyrics on Lewis Carroll’s book Alice In Wonderland. Like many young musicians in San Francisco…
