With a devoted local following, Nails R Hair has grown to be Anguilla's #1 beauty salon.

Set on the lower level of the Mason Complex in the heart of the island's capital, The Valley, Nails R Hair's setting couldn't be more unassuming. Through those doors (photo above) lies a hopping beauty center.
Referred to as Nails or Hair (or simply Lisa's, if you are a regular), it is owned by a woman our family has known for a long time, Lisa Webster.
Lisa is a popular villa manager in Anguilla.
If you know Lisa, you know she takes her hair and nails very seriously.

Anna takes good care of you as you sink into the plush leather massage chair. She strikes a soothingly-warm temperature and then on come the jets. Professional and kind, ask for Anna.
After a thorough scrub and scrape, it's time for the polish.
The selection is seemingly infinite! Dark colors, vibrant hues, barely-there tones, gel fill-ins and quality brands, including OPI. Lisa offers it all.
For only $45, it's an excellent deal.
As far as nails go? Your imagination is the limit!
Basic manicures ($25), gel fill-ins and French manicures, full sets of acrylics ($35). And when it comes to acrylics? No style is impossible. The more colorful, the better. The more intricate, the better. They even do spray-on designs.
Quiet, private and tucked away at the back of the salon is the massage room.
Nails R Hair's masseuse, Amo works out all of the knots in your back with her strong hands. A gentle character, Amo is kind and calm. She sets a relaxing tone.
For those seeking a calming escape at a reasonable rate, this is it.
Last, but certainly not least... when it comes to hair styles, Nails R Hair is known island-wide for their creations.
Professional and creative, Lisa's girls offer braids and designs of all kinds (corn rows, weaves, etc.). The photos below show two of my favorite styles.
Be warned: A full weave is not for the faint of heart! Attention-grabbing and undeniably unique, these braids can take a couple of hours to put in place. Once they are in? They sure catch the eye.
In addition to classically Caribbean braids, Nails R Hair offers highlights, extensions, wash-and-rinse, flat iron / hot curling, dye jobs, trimmings and a barber for the men.
Beyond the walls of the salon, all of Nails R Hair's services are available in the comfort of your villa.
Anna arrives complete with her jet foot tub. After a few minutes of setting the temperature and preparing her lotions and oils, you are set for a half hour of relaxation, completely undisturbed.
Tip: Anna brings a selection of nail polish colors with her. If there is a specific color you would prefer, just request it ahead of time.
A special treat, I highly recommend this as a way to completely de-stress in privacy. Or, as a way to unwind if traveling with friends or extended family.
Now This is the Ultimate in Relaxation!
... can also be arranged in your villa.
From their hopping salon, to private villa calm, Nails R Hair delivers a quality service at a reasonable price!
Directions: At the Mason Complex, next to Lake's Wholesale Supermarket.

The folks at Dorćol Distilling + Brewing Co. make a Serbian brandy known as rakia. Distilled from apricots in a process that begins in Serbia with local produce and finishes in Serbian-built copper pot stills here in San Antonio, Dorćol's Kinsman Rakia has made a name for itself and earned a spot in well-stocked bars across Texas. Boyan Kalusevic, a native of Serbia, and Chris Mobley are the distillers responsible for crafting this versatile spirit.
Old Fashioned: comprised of rakia, bitters, and brown sugar that has been infused with cinnamon, this is a unique take on a true classic. The cocktail is served in a rocks glass with a large-format ice cube that is branded by hand with the Dorćol logo by the barkeep.
Mother of Pearl: a creamy creation featuring rakia, of course, and absinthe among its ingredients, this unusual cocktail is garnished with an edible orchid bloom.
Ups and Downs: this riff on the Manhattan blends rakia with coffee-infused Punt e Mes, Luxardo, sugar, chocolate bitters and a Fernet rinse.
Other cocktails on the menu include a Fitzgerald, the Hemingway Daquiri, a Brandy Alexander, a Negroni, a Perfect Manhattan, a Gimlet, and several other mouth-watering creations.
For you beer lovers, Dorćol Distilling + Brewing Co. is also home to Highwheel beers expertly brewed on premises by Randy Ward. Highwheel is appearing on taps around the city, and it is in the rotation of beers featured in H-E-B South Flores Market's pizza and beer happy hour which includes a pizza and two beers for $10.

Michigan v. Bailey Could Stem the Tide of Unnecessary Incarceration
Michigan v. Bailey raises important questions about the practice of jailing people who cannot pay criminal justice debt.
Roopal Patel
The Brennan Center filed a motion for appeal in Michigan v. Bailey, a case that raises important questions about the practice of jailing people who cannot afford to pay their criminal justice debt
The Brennan Center's motion argues that Joseph Bailey's incarceration is unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause and the Michigan constitution. The Supreme Court has long held that governments cannot incarcerate people for nonpayment of legal obligations without holding a meaningful inquiry into whether they can actually afford the payments. Bailey was too poor to pay his court-ordered restitution, and the court revoked his probation and sent him to jail.
The Brennan Center has documented a growing trend to incarcerate people for their inability to pay debt. It is a practice that is costly to governments, communities, and individuals. The legal financial obligations imposed on defendants are often overly burdensome on people who have few financial resources to begin with. States' efforts to collect this debt are often a futile quest for revenue, as the process can end up costing governments even more money, and serves to create new paths to prison for indigent people.
Michigan has no tracking system in place to determine the costs to the state for incarcerating people who are unable to pay. But common sense dictates that incarcerating people at high costs for days or weeks to the usual hundreds of dollars of unpaid fines can't be a smart decision.
If the Court of Appeals accepts the case, the Brennan Center and its partners will file a friend-of-the-court brief challenging the Michigan's modern-day debtors' prison practices. This case could set an important precedent to stem the tide of unnecessary incarceration of the poor.

Turkey shares financial data – Tax dodgers should consider submitting a voluntary declaration
The automatic exchange of financial information is supposed to assist countries in their efforts to tackle cross-border tax evasion. Turkey is now among the countries that share information with the German tax authorities.
The automatic exchange of information is a powerful weapon in the fight against cross-border tax evasion. More than 100 countries are party to the international agreement, which sees the signatory states mutually exchange financial information relating to their taxpayers who have accounts abroad. Among the signatories are former tax havens such as Switzerland. Following quite a bit of back and forth, Turkey is now also among the countries that share information with the German tax authorities. This means that untaxed income in Turkish accounts will no longer be hidden from the German authorities.
Anyone who is liable to pay taxes in Germany and fails to declare income from foreign accounts, for example in Turkey, is committing tax evasion. We at the commercial law firm MTR Rechtsanwälte note, however, that it remains possible to submit a voluntary declaration for tax evasion, which can potentially lead to immunity from punishment.
The first transferal by Turkey of financial information pertaining to individuals living in Germany with one or more accounts in Turkey was supposed to have already taken place in late 2020. Following delays, information was set to flow freely as of June 1, 2021, with President Erdogan signing a decree to this end.
In addition to names, addresses, birth dates, account numbers, and tax identification numbers, other information shared as part of the automatic exchange of information includes account balances and income from returns on capital. As a result, untaxed income from capital in foreign accounts can no longer be concealed from the tax authorities. One possible solution is to submit a voluntary declaration for tax evasion, with this potentially leading to immunity.
That being said, the declaration needs to be complete and have been submitted on time, i.e. before the tax evasion is discovered by the authorities. That is why those concerned should not wait much longer if they want to submit a voluntary declaration. For the declaration to be complete it needs to include all tax-relevant information from the past ten years. Even minor errors can render a voluntary declaration incapable of leading to immunity, though it may still have a mitigating effect similar to a confession.
Lawyers with experience in the field of tax law know what information needs to be included in the voluntary declaration and can prepare the latter in a manner that ensures that it will be effective.

Dallas >	Oak Cliff
Welcome to Oak Cliff
Once an independent city just across the Trinity River and southwest of downtown, much of the city's southern sector has come to be known by the name "Oak Cliff." Within this zone sit a diverse array of neighborhoods — some more troubled than others, some too-long ignored by City Hall, others among the trendiest in Dallas and attracting residents committed to making them even better.

Not too long ago, Oak Cliff's walkable shopping-and-dining destination was just another run-down area. Developers began investing in the property starting in the mid-80s, buying up the storefronts. The two city blocks now known as the Bishop Arts District offers more than 50 local shops and restaurants where the beard-and-flannel set mixes easily with families and visitors from North Dallas to enjoy everything from artisanal chocolate to fine dining.
The 2016 population of Oak Cliff is estimated to be 275,381. That's a change of +6.3% in the last five years. Over the next five years, the population is projected to change by +5.4%.
The number of households is 90,874, a change of +6.7% in the last five years. In the next five years, the number of households is projected to change +5.8%.
The average household size is 3.
62.3% of Oak Cliff homes are detached, single-family houses. The median owner-occupied home value is $93,983
Oak Cliff includes portions of these policesectors: 410, 450, 440, 750, 740, 710, 730
