Green Valley Lake SHORT SALE AGENTS:
Short sales in Green Valley Lake are less and less prolific these days. During the market crash and recovery, a considerable percentage of the real estate market were short sales. But a short sale is still a viable option if you're still under-water. There are many terms for a short sale, for example "short pay" or "distressed short sale" houses or homes. You may even be unsure if you need to short sale or wash sale, which is breaking even after the sale. So if you are asking 'How do I short sell my house', you have come to the right place. We are Short Sale Agents, and we can help you negotiate a lower sale amount than you owe, negotiate with your mortgage bank(s), and sell that upside-down property.
What is a Short Sale Negotiator/Green Valley Lake Short Sell Agent? Green Valley Lake CA SHORT SALE EXPERTS: We know how to read current real estate listings to determine the best price to offer your mortgage lender to ensure a short sale approval. Most banks and lenders do not want to foreclose because a real estate foreclosure sale can cost them up to $50,000 and more! Per property! When a bank forecloses, the home becomes bank-owned, or real estate owned, also known as a foreclosure. At that point the house is the responsibility of the bank, which means the bank is responsible for upkeep, interior and exterior damage, vandalism, utilities, and anything else that can cost the bank money or time. Not to mention there are many home listings for the bank to compete with when attempting a foreclosure sale.

Poodles carry Santa's sleigh
A few weeks ago, John Suter received a children's book in the mail titled "Flying Poodles A Christmas Story." Along with the book was a note from author Karen Morss explaining that the Chugiak musher was the inspiration behind the story.
Suter, who gained national attention for running the Iditarod with a team of standard poodles four times from 1988 to 1991, was stunned.
Suter said his first reaction was, "Oh wow."
"It was quite a pleasant surprise. Shocking actually," Suter said. "I had no knowledge it existed before then."
Tracking down the man behind the story was no easy task, Morss said.
Morss began work on the book in 2008, and it was published in October 2010, she said. But she only recently got in touch with Suter.
After receiving no help from Iditarod staff, Morss — who also runs a lemon tree orchard — turned to a client in Fairbanks. The client also came up empty.
In November, Morss stumbled across an old interview with Suter on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" that had been posted on YouTube.
In the interview, Suter told Johnny he was from Chugiak. Morss passed this information along to her client, and the client was able to find Suter's address.
"I was so excited," Morss said.
The two have been in contact via email, and Suter purchased 10 copies of the book, Morss said.
"He's really a delightful man," she said.
Suter said he's looking forward to reading the story to his grandchildren this Christmas.
"It's well written," he said. "It's a classy kids entertainment book.
"It's got big pictures and only a small amount of words, so it's not too difficult for me," Suter quipped.
The book's title was inspired by Morss' standard poodle named Sophie Tucker. Morss — who owned a flight school in San Carlso, Calif., from 1995 to 2000 — said Sophie Tucker came to work with her every day. Her dog loved flying and hence earned the nickname "the flying poodle," Morss said.
After an instructor told her of Suter's accomplishment, the thought of running poodles in the Iditarod "just blew me away," Morss said.
"I thought, if they could pull his sled, they can pull Santa's sleigh," she said.
The story — which is about a group of poodles that take over for Santa's ill reindeer — reflects the same attributes Suter needed during the Iditarod, Morss said.
"It's a story about being brave when you need to, being a friend and not being afraid to try something new," she said. "Those are the same things John did.
"He showed that same kind of adventuresome spirit," Morss said. "I can't even imagine what it's like to do that."
In real life, there's no better friend than the book's main characters, Morss said.
"I adore standard poodles," she said. "They're smart, they don't shed, and they're just somebody you can enjoy spending time with."
The book has an app for iPhones and iPads, Morss said. Morss said she donates 10 percent of all proceeds to Smile Train, a charity that provides free cleft palate surgery to children in developing countries.
The app can be purchased at http://flying-poodles.com.
Morss, who is currently working on a flying poodle sequel, said Suter showed a different side of the breed.
"He proved they were capable of it," she said. "More than anything, he showed that poodles are brave."

Web server/services hardening using SELinux
Pavol Luptak
1 day
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a FLASK implementation integrated in the Linux kernel with a number of utilities designed to provide mandatory access controls (MAC) through the use of Linux Security Modules (LSM) in the Linux kernel. SELinux generally supports many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those based on the concepts of type enforcement, role-based access control, and multi-level security.
A Linux kernel integrating SELinux enforces mandatory access control policies that confine user programs and system servers to the minimum amount of privilege they require to do their jobs. This reduces or eliminates the ability of these programs and daemons to cause harm when compromised (via buffer overflows or misconfigurations, for example). This confinement mechanism operates independently of the traditional Linux access control mechanisms. It has no concept of a "root" super-user, and does not share the well-known shortcomings of the traditional Linux security mechanisms (such as a dependence on setuid/setgid binaries).
This training provides basic concepts of SELinux, its differences to classical UNIX/Linux systems, describe security advantages of mandatory access control policies and teach how to effectively and rapidly configure a fully functional LAMP environment on SELinux system.

Secure Programming with Java
Lucas C. Ferreira
1 Day
This training class will present best practices of secure programming in the Java language. It includes Java specific practices (i.e. how to avoid problems that arise from the compilation of Java source code to the bytecode language used by the JVM) and practices that may arise in other programming languages (with examples in Java). Some tools that may be used to verify the security of Java code and systems will be shown.
The topics include a quick overview of the OWASP Top 10, in order to contextualize the practices presented, and several best practices aimed at the different software layers. At the presentation layer, we focus on input validation, access control issues and dealing with exceptions. At the business objects layer, the practices deal with cloning and serialization issues. Practices to prevent command injection are presented at the persistence layer. Practices that should be used throughout all the software are also presented, including input data validation, class and method visibility, using and storing secrets, dealing with inner classes, overflows and boxing, and object initialization.
Java web application developers. This training requires basic understanding of web applications and an intermediate level of proficiency in the Java language and Object Oriented concepts. People with interest in other OO languages may also benefit from this training, but specific techniques, examples and tools used are targeted to Java.

What Developers Should Know on Web Application Security
Sebastien Deleersnyder and Martin Knobloch
4 h To be scheduled on Wednesday afternoon Nov 5.
Application security is an essential component of any successful project; this includes web applications, open source PHP applications, web services and proprietary business web sites. Web application security education and awareness is needed throughout the entire development and deployment organization. Each area and level of development or deployment organizations have specific needs and requirements regarding web application security education. A manager needs other information than a security professional or developer. Novices to the profession require other training than people with several years of experience.
The OWASP Education project aims to provide in building blocks of web application security information. These modules can be combined together in education tracks targeting different audiences. This Education Track provides in a 4 hour session covering what developers should know on web application security. It starts with an explanation of web application security and why it is important. Then the OWASP Top 10 is used to explain the nastiest vulnerabilities and how these can be prevented or re mediated. A secure coding initiative must deal with all stages of a program's life cycle. Secure web applications are only possible when a secure SDLC is used. The SDLC is explained from the standpoint of people, processes and tools. Particularly for developers good secure development practices are covered in a separate topic. Finally the track finishes with an exhaustive list of web application security resources for web application developers.
Web application developers who are unaware there are security issues with contemporary web applications. No prior knowledge of web application security is assumed nor necessary. This track is independent of the coding language or web frameworks used; like PHP, JSF, Java EE or .NET. We must realize that web application developers are only one link - albeit an important one - of the chain that represents the security of a web application. This track aims to make that link as secure as possible, given the constraint of 4 hours. Another important aspect is that web application security should be tailored to the risk profile of an organization and the specific development environment of that organization.
Table of Contents
The challenge is to cover web application security in 4 hours to a web application developer. This is presented in such a way that the developers will be able to recognize and correct web application vulnerabilities in their projects.
- Why WebAppSec matters (20 min) (direct link)
- This part is the introduction of the track. It identifies the current security problems with web applications. During the introduction a definition of web application security is given. Trends that are influencing the current state of web application insecurity are also explained.
- What goes wrong
- WebAppSec Defined
- Current trends
- OWASP Top 10 Introduction & Remedies (90 min) (direct link)
- The primary aim of the OWASP Top 10 is to educate developers, designers, architects and organizations about the consequences of the most common web application security vulnerabilities. The Top 10 provides basic methods to protect against these vulnerabilities.
- Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
- Injection Flaws
- Malicious File Execution
- Insecure Direct Object Reference
- Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
- Information Leakage and Improper Error Handling
- Broken Authentication and Session Management
- Insecure Cryptographic Storage
- Insecure Communications
- Failure to Restrict URL Access
- Embed within SDLC (People, Processes & Tools) (20 min) (direct link)
- There is no silver bullet when it comes to securing web applications. This problem has to be addressed from different angles, covering the involved actors, processes: development as well as deployment and Technologies.
- People Awareness and Education
- Development WebAppSec Controls
- Deployment WebAppSec Controls
- WebAppSec Tools
- Good Secure Development Practices (70 min) (direct link)

- Authentication
- Authorization
- Session Management
- Using Interpreters
- Crypto
- Catching Errors
- File System
- Configuration
- Web 2.0
- Testing for Vulnerabilities (20 min) (direct link)
- One important aspect is to test for application vulnerabilities. During this short module an introduction is provided together with some WebGoat test cases.
- Testing for application vulnerabilities
- The OWASP Testing Guide
- WebGoat demonstrated
- Good WebAppSec Resources (not limited to OWASP) (10 min) (direct link)
- This 4 hour education track in only the beginning of your journey. Web application security is a moving target. New vulnerabilities and threats are discovered regularly. Web application security controls are becoming mature. The following resources should provide you with enough pointers to serve both as reference and for further research.
- Hard Copy
- Web Sites
- Mailing lists
- Blogs
- Roundup (10 min)
Course Specifics

Linux Software Exploitation
Nam Nguyen
2 days
This course is a primer into software exploitation on the Linux environment. The course assumes only basic understanding of the Linux commands, and C programming with the standard library. It explains the computer architecture, assembly language then moves on to three basic classes of security bug: buffer overflow, format string, and race condition and methods to take advantage of them. Throughout the course, various examples are introduced with increasing difficulty so that participants will naturally realize the art of software exploitation for themselves.
This course does not discuss about shell coding. Except on one example where provided shell code is used as an illustration, all other challenges require only good analysis and calculation.
The course is conducted as a workshop with heavy interaction between participants and instructor. There will not be any presentation slide. Participants are to take note during the course.
Software developers, system administrators, security engineers with some experience in Linux and C programming.
Table of Contents
- Computer architecture

Digital cameras are quickly out of their depths when it comes to poor lighting. Both cellphone and standalone cameras are plagued by image noise in dark or artificially lit environments.
DENOISE projects will extend your photographic abilities: Fascinating night shots, atmospheric candle light scenes, portraits without the use of a flash, concert, underwater and sky shots or landscape photos in poor light conditions will suddenly become eye catchers!
Enjoy noise-free photos with incredible richness of detail. DENOISE projects doesn't simply blur image defects but replaces them with surrounding image information to retain the full quality of your images.
Some lenses cost $100, others considerably more and there's a reason for that. Expensive lenses are more permeable to light and produce images with very little noise even at brief shutter open times and low ISO levels. Using DENOISE projects is like owning such a high-quality lens on top of an extremely fast camera. This means: High ISO sensitivity, brief shutter open times with night shots and superior sharpness and details without any noise!
Many old digital photos contain so much noise that they're hard to look at let alone fit for use in collages or videos. But your precious memories are not lost! With DENOISE projects, you can finally make those images look the way they were meant to look. Party, wedding or vacation - DENOISE projects will make your photos shine.

exellent product and prompt delivery
Great heavy duty products (braces ) Very quick delivery
Bought some of for my motorbike trousers. Excellent quality, look good and are definitely up to the job of supporting a heavy set of motorbike trousers. Prompt and efficient delivery too. It would be great if the heavy duty braces came in different sizes as they are only XL and are a bit big, but still do the job they are meant for. If there was one thing I would change it would be to make the metal parts more airport security conscious as the darn things trigger the scanners everytime I walk through security to work. My advise is if you wear them when leaving the country be prepared to be searched at the airport :-)
Brilliant. Always used belts for trousers but braces are so much better. They transformed my work trousers into comfortable clothing
great and arrived early
I bought a functional wide 35mm pair for every day use. Just what I was looking for. On wearing them I find that the rear clips protrude a bit into my back which is disappointing. Otherwise a good purchase that I recommend.
very happy.. arrived on time
Excellent quality braces used for supporting work trousers with associated tools etc in large pockets. Delivery your was made in a timely manner. Would definitely purchase these braces again.
Just exactly what I needed - brilliant!!
Very prompt service very polite delivery and hubby couldn't b happier with the braces 👍
Great pair of braces just what the doctor ordered. Great design, Rainbow with black background, very practical and do the job to a tee
Quick and convenient, just what I wanted to hold the waterproof leggings up!
I ordered two pairs, one with cats & one with fish. Both are colourful, excellent quality, draw many positive remarks when I wear them & are great value for money. They were delivered quickly, & I would use this company again.
Bought for a family member. Braces arrived swiftly and they are of high quality. Would recommend.
The braces were ordered for my 92yr old Dad, who was struggling with the thin braces that kept pinging of his jeans. The braces from British Braces have been a complete success, no more braces drama in our household!!! many thanks
great quality
excellent service from retailers. good quality braces if I ever need more braces I wont hesitate to use british braces.
Braces are great quality very pleased with my purchase
I have been after a few pairs of Quality Braces for some tine now, I ordered some from other suppliers that were in my opinion not good quality, they never held their grip. But the I came across British Braces and ordered one pair, to see what they were like, I was very happy with the quality of them, they are very comfortable and grip your trousers or shorts very tightly, I will be ordering two more pairs shortly from British Braces.
Excellent service and good quality braces
I saw a person wearing a fine set of braces in the street. I asked where did he get them from and found the British Braces Co. Later I found the Website and ordered my braces. They were delivered very quickly and I am so impressed with them. The quality is first class, the clasps are very secure and others are now asking where did I get them from.
The braces were a big hit . They were for a special birthday , for someone who has everything ......but not braces.
Perfect braces and excellent service - all at a good price.
Quality product
Lots of choice. Staff on phone very helpful. Order arrived next day - couldn't be better
Hi. Quick delivery. I Bought the braces for my grandson, he loves them I'm happy, job done.
After a problem with payment online,one phone call and it was all sorted. My order was delivered within the next three days. Highly recommend British Braces. Excellent customer service.
Birthday prezzie for Dad. He loves them! He's a very keen gardener and keeps an allotment so went for the gardening themed braces. Outstanding! Excellent fit. One super impressed and chuffed Dad, his jean's don't migrate south when he's gardening anymore!
I always get my braces from British Braces because their prices are reasonable and their delivery is fast. All the braces I have purchased are good quality and enable me to wear trousers which would otherwise be too big! They have plenty to choose from as well so you can always find something that suits you. I have never had any problems with them and I am a genuine shopper, not some "plant".
Brilliant braces , perfect length and colour, highly recommended .
Delivery was fine, no probkems. I'm using the wide "working" braces. They are chunky but I like that and the fixings never come loose. Excellent!
Impressive quality product and a speedy service, just like last time. Many thanks
The purchase and foreign delivery all went smoothly. The items look good, though their utility will inevitably remain to be seen.
Well done! Quick to arrive, exactly what I needed, good value for money and they're fun! Thank you.
Havnt had braces for years. My order arrived very quickly. Well made quality item. I would recommend this company.
A smooth fast service and excellant product. Will happily use again if needed.
Extensive range of products to choose from, easy to order on a user friendly site. Prompt delivery of superior quality product. Excellent value for money, what is not to like ??
Lovely quality product that I am hoping my son will enjoy once he has had them for his birthday 😊
Good product good price delivered as promised.
Very happy, delivery quick, considering we live on an island...definitely buy more
A very good service and a very quick delivery thank
After purchasing two different braces which didn't seem to be secure enough. We are delighted to say that the braces we received from you do the job perfectly. We would recommend them to anybody.
I am very pleased with my purchase from British Braces quality
Easy to use web site. Order processed in a timely manner. Good quality braces.
Excellent quality with quick delivery, I bought the extra long and wide fit braces and my husband is very pleased with them.
Having sadly put on more weight I finally decided to buy a new pair of braces to hold my leather motorcycle trousers up. My previous pair from another a motorcycle specific company had proven to be not very good as the elasticity did not last very long. So searching the Net I came across BB and given the description & more than reasonable price I decided to buy a pair of braces from them. They arrived very promptly and look to be well made & of very good quality. I,ve used them a few times now and been happy with them. Time will tell if they last longer than the pair I am replacing but given the quality of them I am convinced that they will. Thanks BB and if I dont lose weight I,ll be back for a pair to hold my normal trousers up.
they clip on trousers and stay cliped ON
Really good braces, well made and sturdy. They are ideal for work trousers and motorcycle trousers. Brilliant!!
Husband said they are the best braces he has owned they are light weight and fit well very comfortable.
I have used them several times and have been impressed by the service received..
A very well made long lasting product
Being of a large frame I value robust clothing and British Braces fall into that category, they are "probably the best braces in the world" , you won't hear me saying anything but good , if only everything was as reliable.
Great colours and love the hearts on a white background. Can't wait to wear them. Fab service too!
These braces are very good, and give a look of elegance.
I bought two pair of British Braces ,one for a friend and one for myself ,and both of us are over the moon with the braces ,I have had lots of comments and all of them were good I have used my braces every day since they were delivered .No more belt buckles sticking into me when I bend over .Overall I would like to say that my British Braces are much more comfortable than any belt could be. I wish now that I had bought a pair years ago Thanks again for this wonderfull set of braces I can see me buying another pair very soon ,and a handy gift for a christmas present Thanks again Ian Wilkie
Fast efficient service and good product and value for money
This is the second pair I have purchased albeit some considerable time (years) between orders. The high quality remains and with a huge choice of patterns / motifs. The braces I ordered arrived next day well packaged. Excellent service from an established company
Yep very quick delivery and quality item for the father in law!
Ordered on line as a gift for my son in Australia, who is really happy with them.
Excellent choice, does the job they are designed for.
Quality is very good,delivery was quick
Very comfortable and capable of supporting the weight of my working trousers with tools, tape, phone etc stuffed in various pockets and cordless drill hanging off a loop. So much better than wearing a tight belt.
Brilliant braces, good selection, strong gripping clips and excellent delivery service
Great service quick delivery Product excellent will be back
Look good seems good quality haven't used them yet
I got 2 pair's for my husband who is delighted with them. Fantastic quality brilliantly made he's really happy with them and we shall be buying again
Lovely braces indeed! Just slightly pricey in my opinion. Packed as a gift, lovely to give to someone, but I kept them for myself.
Bought some new Jazz themed braces for my husband and he is delighted with them, not only because of the style but he says they are so comfortable to wear. Well done
Excellent for supporting textile motorcycle trousers. I ordered the extra heavy duty ones with "shoulder pads" but found the pads unnecessary. Once they were removed, the braces were just right
Braces and knickers are a curiosity for the English To us a brace is a pair - or game birds for instance. What I bought was Braces - but only one. And it is excellent. Marks and Spencer's knickers are another matter entirely. But I need not bother you about it/them.
Must be the lockdown but my tummy is proving a problem when wearing trousers/shorts so I invested in a pair of your braces. What joy it felt that the aforementioned apparel were not falling down and what comfort too. Down side was going to the loo (reminded me of the problem when wearing salopettes) but overall a winner. Also a bit bulky but fine under a loose top.
Very quick and efficient service
Great product. Speedy service. Good value for money
good braces, no faults found yet. good quality. I have bought them before and I will do again.
Are what they claimed to be. Especially good for thin light material
Just the right design, at the right price and made in the UK.
Quality service and very happy with the braces
Brilliant braces. My husband was really happy with them and loved showing them off.
Well-made braces, well packaged and swiftly sent
Lots of choice, something to suit everyone. Fitted hubby a treat. Arrived when said and kept informed of parcel.
Great product. Really sturdy clips. Nice fit. What's not to like.
Excellent service, excellent delivery, excellent quality braces, would highly recommend to anyone who wants to keep their trousers up
the braces were of good quality and delivered on time.
A really strong set of Braces and comfortable when relaxed
Fast excellent service from a unique company. I'm already planning another order.
Smart braces and appear to be good quality. Very happy!
My gift was gratefully received and delivered very quickly

Businessman and philanthropist Steve Moak has been on the defense this week after political rival Ben Quayle claimed in a flyer that Moak used his nonprofit charity to make millions for his former company.
The two are running in the crowded Republican primary in Arizona's 3rd Congressional District, and rhetoric between the well-funded campaigns has been fierce.
In addition to claims that Moak used his Not My Kid charity to enrich his former company, which he sold for $25 million in 2007, Quayle alleges Moak broke the law by failing to report to the IRS that he had an interest in both organizations.
"From the attorneys we talked to, this relationship needed to be disclosed. So, yes, this is illegal," said Megan Rose, a Quayle campaign spokeswoman. "And if he profited to the tune of $25 million from this relationship, then this is unethical too."
Moak's campaign said the allegation is unwarranted and based on a lack of understanding about IRS reporting. Moak's for-profit company was successful because of sound business practices and that Quayle is simply trying to smear Moak because he sees him as the latest frontrunner, said Jerry Cobb, a Moak campaign spokesman.
"They finally woke up to the fact that we're in first place," Cobb said.
In 2000, Moak began Not My Kid to promote awareness of drug use in adolescents and to help parents prevent their kids from using drugs.
In 2004, Moak purchased First Check Diagnostics – a maker of drug-test kits and other medical test kits – while the company was going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In 2007, Moak sold the company for $25 million.
During the years that Moak owned First Check, his charity developed a separate program called the "7th Grade Program," which included a presentation and a one-time free drug-test kit for any parents who wanted one.
The drug kits given out as part of the 7th Grade Program presentation were produced and donated by First Check. The Quayle campaign said this amounts to using the non-profit to push the drug kits into the hands of parents and creating a market demand for First Check's product.
Moak's campaign said this story doesn't add up. Moak bought First Check because he saw a scarcity of affordable, easy-to-find home drug-test kits, which naturally fit into the Not My Kid curriculum, Cobb said, and because Moak felt he could turn the company around by instituting better business practices.
Cobb admitted that the First Check kits are the only drug-test kits Not My Kid has ever promoted by name on their website, but he said the Not My Kid website has never sold the kit, nor does it have the ability to do so, refuting claims made by the Quayle campaign.
It was practical to have First Check donate drug-test kits to Not My Kid, but Cobb said that in no way were the donations responsible for the success of First Check.
Cobb said the turnaround of First Check, which also produces a home-colon test and a home-cholesterol test, is largely the result of getting the company's tests into stores.
"Steve is a businessman. He's an entrepreneur," Cobb said.
Cobb said the donation of First Check's drug tests to Not My Kid is no different from any other company that donates some of its products to a nonprofit organization.
"No one would say Apple built its business on the back of a charity that puts computers in schools," Cobb said. "Does that help the market for Apple? Well, probably it does."
But Cobb said there was nothing illegal or unethical about the donations.
As for the claims about false IRS reporting, the Quayle campaign alleged that Not My Kid failed to disclose Moak's involvement with First Check on its 2005 and 2006 IRS reports.
In nonprofit tax reports that were filed those years by Not My Kid, the organization answered "no" to the question of whether the organization is related to any other organization through common membership.
But in 2007, Not My Kid reported "yes" to this question, which the Quayle campaign said indicates a skirting of the issue all along.
Cobb said this was an error made by the organization's accountant. Not My Kid's accountant, Cherie Wright, wrote a letter Aug. 9, stating that the answer was an error and needed to be fixed, but only after this was brought to their attention.
According to IRS documents, the threshold for answering this question "yes" is required only when 50 percent of an organization's governing body, officers, directors, trustees or members are part of any other organization.
Wright explained in her letter that because only two members, Moak and his wife Debbie, or 14 percent of Not My Kid's board, were part of First Check, the answer should always have been "no," and that the 2007 answer was incorrect.
Cobb said the Moak campaign stands by Wright's assessment.
"Our accountants and Not My Kid's independent board have reviewed it," Cobb said.
Cobb also said that the fact that no scrutiny has come from the IRS on these points further indicates no wrongdoing.

5 Things to Know about LGBTQ Issues
1. There are roughly 10 million LGBTQ adults in the U.S., or roughly 4.1 percent of the population.
2. Sixteen percent of same-sex couples are raising children according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2011 Current Population Survey.
3. There is no federal law that consistently protects LGBTQ individuals from employment discrimination; there are no state laws in 28 states that explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, and in 30 states that do so based on gender identity.
4. More than 50 anti-LGBTQ bills have been filed in 19 state legislatures in the 2017 state legislative session.
5. The FBI reported 1,167 hate crimes based on sexual orientation or gender identity in 2015. This is likely a dramatic undercount since thousands of agencies didn't submit any data and reporting is not mandatory.

Hi fellow atheists!
A small thought as to my own prejudices got me to wondering if these are linked to my atheist position. I know a lot of us have a prejudice based mainly on theists and this can range from mild irritation to outright hatred. This is one of my own prejudices, for as soon as I discover a person's religious beliefs (or the strength of their religious beliefs to be more accurate) I tend to label them with an equivalent intelligence level, even though I know rationally that this is not always the case for I have met intelligent theists and they do exist. I know I tend to think this because I equate atheism with rationality and logic which I know all of us do.
I wondered if there are any other typical atheists prejudices that you think we may have? Or perhaps any prejudices that you yourself may have that you have noticed?
Any typical prejudices that we may be strictly against, such as theists 'satanistic' assumptions about us?
Can our prejudices be equated to those of theists?
Views: 678
I'm so inured to being around religious folk. They're EVERYWHERE. I can't seem to escape them. So it's only the "true believers" that really get to me. Among them, there's some who believe in ghosts and evil spirits and who are afraid of these mental constructs. I find them pretty pathetic and beyond the reach of reason: their minds are ruled by fear. They are repulsive to me. They give me the willies.
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Shinto they all share a belief that they can commune telepathically with an entity who will grant wishes and impart knowledge. How can you trust such an individual?
Sure they might be kind, informed, charitable so on and so on, but they truly think that a sky being talks with them and they to it...this is my prejudice
I do it all the time without problems. So, yes, you truly ARE prejudiced.
I'm no more prejudiced against those who are religious than I am towards anyone else, which is to say that my presumption is that they are idiots until otherwise conclusively proven.
So, out of interest, does their theistic beliefs count a point for or against their stupidity meter?
It depends, you don't have to be stupid to be religious or religious to be stupid, though it helps. It's similar to the largest secular religion in that sense: Sports.
Inasmuch as I define intelligence as necessarily incorporating, reason, logic, and common sense in order to be to be considered fully functional, I must confess that I prejudge ALL theists as demonstrably lacking any such a capacity.
Nonsense. Religion is only one facet of many religious people's lives. Also, many people who identify themselves as religious attend church/temple/mosque, but otherwise their religion has little overt affect on how they live or think. The vast amount of Christians I know accept evolution, the age of the universe (contrary to Biblical teaching), and just about everything science tells them. They simply nevertheless believe that God is responsible for it all, a hypothesis which, while unlikely to the degree of near impossibility, is nonetheless impossible to prove.
"They simply nevertheless believe that God is responsible for it all"
And in what way is that incorporating reason and logic? To believe something for which is no evidence, and to believe god is responsible for everything around you which has a much better explanation in science (namely provable and repeatable) is in my opinion really not incorporating reason and logic.
Impossible to prove? To be honest, if I were god, I'd be sick and tired of people not believing in me. There'd be an infinite number of ways in which to prove my existence, from the all obvious showing yourself to ALL people on the world at the same time, which would be a piece of cake if I were a god, to very small less obvious but still very noteworthy and easily repeatable ways. After all these years of people still not believing in me and as a matter of fact, all the time having less and less people believing in me, i'd give up waiting for people to be able to convince everybody that i really existed and do the job myself.
oh but wait.... here is your chance to put in the all famous response to that: god needs you to believe in him without making you... riiight. If a scientist would use that argument he'd never have a job again so why would that argument hold here?
"Medically speaking, it was just brain surgery. But for some patients, it was a spiritual reawakening. " - ABC News
I admit my heart sinks when someone says they believe in a god and I am inclined to think they are not my sort of person. It is not so much their intelligence I doubt as their values and judgement. I have the same feeling about the judgement of people who believe in star signs or psychics tho I am less inclined to feel negative about their values. I also have a prejudice against people who pronounce t as a sort of glottal stop - I am English. There is a woman at the school always yelling for her child and I am so tempted to ask 'Why did you call your child 'Natalie' if you can't say it?' 'Na"alie! Na"alie' This is entirely my own stupid prejudice because enunciation says absolutely nothing about a person - that i probably nothing to do with my atheism tho.
lol funny and very true, I do the same thing...

Reuters reports that Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, in New York for a meeting at the UN, told reporters Wednesday that he did not think Israel or the United States would attack Iran before next January, when President Bush leaves office, and added that he saw a "new sort of atmosphere" in talks with the West over Iran's nuclear program.
Speaking through an interpreter, Mr. Mottaki told reporters that "constructive statements and approaches" and an earlier proposal by Iran had "paved the way for creating a new sort of atmosphere."
On behalf of the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana handed over an offer on June 14 of trade and other benefits designed to help persuade Tehran to curb its nuclear work.
"Very soon I will respond to the letter given to me by the six foreign ministers," Mottaki said at the United Nations.
CNN reports that Mottaki also suggested that Iran would be willing to open diplomatic contacts with the US. CNN notes that US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has approved preliminary examination of opening an "interests office" in a third-party foreign embassy in Tehran. Such an office would open diplomatic channels with Iran in the absence of a US embassy.
"Contacts between Iranians and the American people will be a useful step for better understanding of the two nations," Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency. ...
Rice said recently that the United States has for some time been attempting to reach out to the Iranian people.
"We want more Iranians visiting the United States," she said. "We want the efforts that we've engaged in to have Iranian artists in the United States, American sports people in Iran. We're determined to find ways to reach out to the Iranian people."
Mottaki, in New York to attend a meeting of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, said Iran supports academic and sports exchanges between the two countries, IRNA reported.
"Iranian academics and students have invited their American counterparts to the country to share their research and scientific achievements," Mottaki said, according to IRNA.
The more upbeat diplomatic overtures from Tehran come as both President Bush and the Pentagon expressed interest in avoiding armed conflict with Iran. The Los Angeles Times reports that when asked at a White House press conference Wednesday whether he would try to discourage Israel from a rumored preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, Bush said that "the first option ought to be to solve this problem diplomatically." Shortly after Bush's press conference, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen, who recently returned from a meeting with Israeli military leaders, told reporters at the Pentagon that an attack on Iran by Israel would have very negative consequences for the US.
"Opening up a third front right now would be extremely stressful for us," [Admiral Mullen] said, referring to the prospect of a direct clash with Iran while fighting continues in Iraq and Afghanistan. "This is a very unstable part of the world, and I don't need it to be more unstable."
In his trip to Israel, Mullen met with Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, chief of the Israeli defense staff. Mullen declined to say whether an air strike was broached in his meetings but acknowledged that the Iranian threat was discussed and said he agreed that Tehran was a destabilizing force in the region.
Mullen has expressed his concerns for several months about the risks posed to U.S. troops in Iraq by a strike on Iran, Defense Department officials said, but those warnings have been made mostly in private. Mullen declined to say whether he had delivered his assessment to the White House in recent days.
The comments from both Iranian and US officials Wednesday follow heated rhetoric from both sides. Agence France-Presse reports that earlier this week, Iran threatened to close off the Strait of Hormuz, choking the world's oil supply, should any attack be made against it. But Vice Adm. Kevin Cosgriff, commander of the US 5th Fleet based in Bahrain, said that the US "will not allow Iran to close" the Strait and would regard such an attempt to be an act of war. The Associated Press reports that if Iran were attacked, OPEC Secretary General Abdallah el-Badri said the price of oil would likely surpass $145 per barrel, since "it is difficult to replace [the] 4.1 or 4.2 million barrels a day" that Iran produces.
This week also saw the release of a New Yorker article by Seymour Hersh that warned the US may be preparing to invade Iran by increasing covert operations within the country. Mr. Hersh wrote that at Bush's request, Congress approved a $400 million funding increase of such operations, which "are designed to destabilize the country's religious leadership" and "involve support of the minority Ahwazi Arab and Baluchi groups and other dissident organizations" as well as further intelligence gathering on Iran's nuclear activities. Agence France-Presse reports that the White House declined to comment on Hersh's report.

MONTREAL — Around the world, newscasts have spent the greater part of the past week airing shocking footage of dead civilians and gutted buildings in both Israel and Gaza. We have all been riveted by images of parents and children running from shelling and rocket fire. It all seems to be agonizingly symmetrical, with pain and suffering on both sides of the conflict.
But while suffering is of course universal, the symmetry that has been played over again and again is only an illusion. A closer examination of the facts paints a different picture, one that is far from symmetrical.
Since the beginning of 2012, more than 1,600 rockets have been launched by Hamas and other terrorists in Gaza on Israel's civilian population. These incessant attacks have made it necessary for my country to act swiftly and decisively to safeguard the lives of millions of our citizens who have lived in fear for far too long.
In places like Sderot, a city I called home for a brief period in 2008-09, residents have all of 15 seconds to take cover from rocket and mortar fire.
As you are reading this, Israel is surgically striking at carefully picked military targets in order to avoid hitting innocent civilians. Hamas, on the other hand, is firing purposely at anything and everything it can point its missiles at.
From Beersheba to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and beyond, 4.5 million of my country's citizens — more than half the population of Israel — have been urged to take cover in shelters at the sounding of the code-red siren. In Gaza, where Hamas fires rockets and missiles from densely populated areas and public buildings including schools and mosques, civilians are used to shield terrorists from Israeli fire.
Sadly, as in the past, civilians on both sides will find themselves in the crossfire. That is the brutal reality of such operations — a reality that we have sought to avoid while restraining our right to self-defence for so long.
While many will undoubtedly point to a lack of proportionality in the death toll, they should be reminded that Israel goes through extraordinary measures to protect each and every one of our civilians. That is why we have invested so heavily in bomb shelters in nearly every home, a nationwide network of air-raid sirens and the Iron Dome missile defence system that has successfully intercepted nearly half of the missiles launched in our direction. In Gaza, Hamas's limited resources have been spent on indoctrinating youth with anti-Semitic textbooks and building a sophisticated network of tunnels used to smuggle Iranian-made long-range missiles under the Egyptian border.
This week, as in 2008-09 during Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli Defense Forces have dropped thousands of leaflets and phoned more than 20,000 Palestinians in Gaza to warn them of forthcoming operations targeting terrorists. No call from Hamas has ever been made to a single Israeli household warning of impending rocket attacks.
When civilians are injured or, even worse, killed, Israel is profoundly sorry and investigations are conducted in order to assess any foul play on the part of our soldiers. On the other side, Israeli deaths, and even Palestinian ones, are celebrated by Hamas as military and propaganda victories.
In 2005, Israel withdrew its military and civilian presence from Gaza in the hope that the Palestinians would use our gesture as an act of good faith. Our wish then was, and remains today, clear: to live in peace and quiet with our neighbours.
Seven years later, our settlers and soldiers are long gone and we have no claims on Gaza. Hamas's intentions, however, are diametrically opposed and bluntly stated in its charter, which calls for the destruction of Israel and the slaughter of its Jews.
As rockets rain down from our skies, Israel continues to supply electricity, medical supplies, food and water to Gaza. Wounded Palestinians, including terrorists, are even being treated in our hospitals. Is that not proof enough of our humanity?
For Israel, diplomacy has always been the preferred method of solving disputes, and armed confrontation a last resort based on the principle of self-defence. Our treaties with both Egypt and Jordan, as well as our withdrawal from Gaza, are proof of Israel's long-standing desire for peace and the painful sacrifices we are prepared to make in order to see that dream come to fruition.
Sadly, peace will remain elusive as long as Hamas continues to opt for violence, and abuses Palestinians and Israelis alike.

Line Gallery: Pigs to Pig Iron (Exhibit On Display)
September 30, 2018 @ 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
|Recurring Event (See all)
An event every week that begins at 12:00pm on Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, repeating until October 28, 2018
In 1942, with the growing need for steel to build ships to fight in World War II, Henry J. Kaiser secured a tract of land in Fontana that had been a pig farm. There he built the first steel mill in the Pacific Coast states. One of the civil engineers on the project was Carl Hooper Gilman, whose wife Esther Bruton Gilman was an artist and muralist. Through Carl, Esther gained access to the Kaiser Steel construction site and painted a series of eight watercolors to depict the transformation.

The Tripod Solar Cooker is a design that is easy to construct, and is similar to a traditional Indian storage cache. The reflective surface can be a dish or incorporate a Fresnel style pattern.
It is convenient to use this approach when there is no easy way to support the reflector and cooking assembly with a traditional framework of steel, aluminum, or wood. Then this very simple system with three poles tied near the top end does an excellent job. These poles are open at the other end and separated sufficiently so the cooker will stay secure in the space between them. You can also hang the cooking pot from the same poles. Sun tracking is performed by shifting the pole locations, and the slope of the reflector. Changing the slope of the reflector can be accomplished by using graduated lengths of support ropes.

Award Tour: Doug McDermott Wins National Player of the YearPosted by Jameson Fleming (@JamesonFleming) on March 13th, 2014
Jameson Fleming is an RTC columnist who also works for CBSSports.com as the site's social media editor. You can follow him on Twitter @JamesonFleming.
Picking a 10th player to fill out the National Player of the Year rankings was agonizingly hard. There were so many tremendous options like rankings stalwart Tyler Ennis, who finally fell out of the Top 10 thanks to his poor play during Syracuse's struggles. Then there's Bryce Cotton and T.J. Warren. Providence is closer to the NCAA Tournament than North Carolina State, but both stars have had incredible seasons. Cotton is averaging more than 40 MINUTES per game and is single-handedly willing the Friars to the Big Dance. Warren has been nothing short of spectacular for the Wolfpack. While he won ACC Player of the Year, on a national scale his team's lack of success kept him out of these rankings. There's also Marcus Smart, who turned in an impressive five-game stretch to put Oklahoma State back into the Tournament picture comfortably. His fellow Big 12 stud Melvin Ejim took home the league's Player of the Year honors. Kyle Anderson has had a Shabazz Napier-like season for the Bruins, except he did it as a 6'9″ point guard.
Player of the Year
10. Marcus Paige – North Carolina. Last Week: Not Ranked
2013-14 stats: 17.1 PPG, 4.5 APG, 120.6 ORtg
After a long absence from the Top 10, North Carolina's Marcus Paige finally returns thanks to dominant play in the ACC. Before losing to Duke in the regular season finale, UNC had won 12 consecutive games thanks to Paige's leadership. During the last 13 outings, Paige has averaged 17.6 points per game. Even when he's not scoring, the Tar Heels' sophomore impacts the game as a passer, but also a defender. Against Notre Dame, Paige shut the door on an upset attempt by blocking a last-second layup at the end of regulation.
9. Andrew Wiggins – Kansas. Last Week: 8
2013-14 stats: 16.8 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 113.9 ORtg
All season long, fans have been waiting for Andrew Wiggins to explode and have a Kevin Durant-like game. The Kansas freshman finally delivered in a loss at West Virginia without Joel Embiid. Wiggins dropped an efficient 41 points to give scouts a signature performance and a chance to remember why he should be the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. His shot chart from that game is a thing of beauty.

Bates Fall Semester Abroad
Professor Aschauer (Economics); Associate Professor Browne (Russian)
During fall semester 2005, Bates students, including entering first-year students, have the opportunity to live among St. Petersburg's people and explore their city, its history, and cultural life. St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful and cultured cities in the world, but to Russians it signifies much more. In 1703 Tsar Peter the Great founded the city as part of his project to westernize Russia. Since then St. Petersburg has been the focus of debate about Russian identity. The capital of tsarist Russia for two centuries, the city has maintained many of the great cultural institutions of the era—the Hermitage Museum and the Kirov Ballet and Opera—in completely changed circumstances. In the twentieth century, Peter's capital was the center of momentous struggles: the Russian Revolution, which overthrew the tsarist empire and established communist rule, and the invasion of Hitler's army, which besieged the city for two years. In 2003, as St. Petersburg celebrated its 300th anniversary, and as Russia charts its new post-communist path, this great city re-examines its place as a cosmopolitan, Western- looking center for the new Russia.
The program begins in mid-August, when students undertake a three-week intensive Russian language course at St. Petersburg State University. From September to December they continue language study and take courses from Bates faculty in English. During this time they live with Russian families in St. Petersburg. No prior study or knowledge of Russian is required.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Senior Mike Chanenchuk scored with two seconds remaining to send the No. 7 seed University of Maryland men's lacrosse team to the NCAA tournament quarterfinals with an 8-7 win over Cornell Saturday afternoon in front of 2,210 at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.
The Terps (12-3) advance to the quarterfinals and will play the winner of No. 2 seed Syracuse vs. Bryant on Saturday, May 17 at James M. Shuart Stadium in Hempstead, New York. The Big Red finishes the season with an 11-5 record.
Cornell started off the game strong with a 4-0 lead on goals by Connor Buczek, Mike O'Neill and two from Matt Donovan, while the Big Red defense holded the Terps scoreless for the first 23:59 of the game.
Chanenchuk responded with Maryland's lone goal of the first half at the 6:01 mark of the second quarter to cut the deficit to 4-1.
Donovan scored his third goal of the half with 12 seconds remaining in the second quarter to give Cornell a 5-1 advantage at the break.
The Terps regrouped during halftime and came out firing in the second half, putting up a three-goal run of their own over the first 5:24 of the third.
Junior Jay Carlson started off the streak with an unassisted goal at the 11:18 mark in the third quarter. Carlson scooped up a rebound off of a shot by freshman Matt Rambo right in front of the crease and one-timed it into the net for the score.
After scoring the goal, Carlson was hit with a late cross check by Cornell's Jordan Stevens to give the Terps an extra-man opportunity. The EMO unit cashed in to cut the Big Red lead to 5-3 when Rambo scored off an assist from Chanenchuk.
Freshman Connor Cannizzaro finished off the three-goal streak with a goal off a nice skip pass from Chanenchuk at the 9:36 mark of the third quarter.
Cornell ended the Maryland run with a goal at the 7:13 mark of the third quarter to up its lead to 6-4 heading into the fourth quarter.
Maryland opened up the fourth quarter with another extra-man goal at the 11:36 mark. Another cross check penalty on Stevens, this time on Cannizzaro, set up Rambo, who scored his second of the day just nine seconds into the penalty make it a one-goal game at 6-5.
Dan Lintner scored his only goal of the day just over a minute later at 10:17 to give Cornell a 7-5 lead. But that proved to be final goal of the day for the Big Red as the Terrapin faceoff unit won the next two faceoffs and the defense allowed just three Cornell shots over the game's final 8:12.
Rambo scored his third goal of the day to cut the deficit to one once again with 9:17 remaining in the game with an unassisted goal.
Just over a minute later Maryland tied up the game at 7-7 thanks to Cannizzaro's second goal of the day, a brilliant unassisted effort from the left wing after dodging from behind the cage with 8:12 left on the clock.
Both team had their chances, but Maryland had the ball with less than a minute to play. The drama unfolded from there. A timer-on call was put on the Terps with 31 seconds, meaning Maryland had to get off a shot with more than one second.
The Big Red defense got the Terps to put the ball on the ground with about 11 seconds left, but Chanenchuk came up with the biggest of the Terrapins' 27 groundballs with nine seconds left, which allowed Maryland head coachJohn Tillman the opportunity to call a time out and set up a final play.
That play started with sophomore Henry West dodging down the right alley and sending a perfect skip pass across the field to Chanenchuk on the left wing and he ripped a shot into the right side of the Cornell net, past freshman goalie Christian Knight with just two ticks left on the clock.
Junior Charlie Raffa controlled the faceoff X going 11-of-17 on the day with three groundballs. He was supported by outstanding wing play by senior Michael Ehrhardt, who had six groundballs and a caused turnover, and senior Brian Cooper, who had four groundballs.
Senior goalie Niko Amato kept the Terps in the game in the first half, making seven of his eight saves in the first 30 minutes of play. He also had three groundballs and a caused turnover.
Game Notes:
• With today's 8-7 win Maryland is now 14-3 all-time vs. Cornell and 2-3 in NCAA tournament play.
• Maryland is now 15-4 (.789) all-time in first-round games in the NCAA tournament. The Terrapins are making their 33rd appearance in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals.
• With four points on two goals and two assists, senior Mike Chanenchuk now has 40 multi-point, 29 multi-goal and 12 multi-assist games for his career.
• With his four points, Chanenchuk now has 110 for his Maryland career, moving him into a tie with Xander Ritz (2004-06), Brian Zeller (1996-2000) and Roger Tuck (1973-76) for 34th on the Terps' all-time points list.
• Chanenchuk's two goals give him 71 for his Maryland career, moving him ahead of Tim Worstell (70, 1980-83) and John Lamon (70, 1976-79) into 26th on the Terps' all-time goals list.
• With three points on three goals, freshman Matt Rambo now has five hat tricks, 10 multi-point and nine multi-goal games for his career.
• With two points on two goals, freshman Connor Cannizzaro now has nine multi-point and eight multi-goal games for his career.
• With one caused turnovers, senior Michael Ehrhardt now has 68 for his career, passing Ray Megill (2004-07) for sole-possession of 10th place on Maryland's all-time list.

Did your hero wear Jockey briefs?
It's one thing to put sports stars in underwear ads. It's something else to put famous American heroes in them.
Jockey, in an outrageous new ad campaign, is taking the celebrities in skivvies concept to the next level by showing off bona fide American heroes in their briefs. Such as Gen. George Patton. And baseball great Babe Ruth. And, yes, even veteran astronaut and moonwalker Buzz Aldrin.
These names seem a far cry from recent celebrity sports stars — from Michael Jordan to David Beckham to Tim Tebow — who have appeared in men's underwear advertisements. Of course, it was Baltimore Oriole pitching ace Jim Palmer who was among the first to raise both eyebrows and underwear brand awareness by wearing Jockey briefs in 1970s-era TV spots.
Jockey's slogan for the new heroes campaign comes with a wink, perhaps a smirk: "Supporting Greatness."
"We're in the underwear business, so we can't take ourselves too seriously," says Dustin Cohn, chief marketing officer at Jockey International. "We actually know that these great men all wore Jockey."
For what it's worth, Aldrin, 84, the second man to walk on the moon, takes special pride about footage of his historical moonwalk being included in the underwear ad. "Everybody wears underwear," he says, in a phone interview. "I think this commercial is fun — and guaranteed to get a chuckle."
For Jockey, it's about trying to stay cool — and appeal to trend-setting Millennials — when designer brands such as Calvin Klein and H&M have tried to corner the market on what's hip in the $1.1 billion domestic men's underwear market.
It's also an attempt actually to appeal to male buyers. For decades, women were the primary buyers of men's underwear. But with today's men more fashion conscious — even about their briefs — they now buy about 70% of their underwear, says Cohn.
The national TV spot, which first airs Monday, depicts Ruth clobbering a home run, Patton leading his men to victory and Aldrin walking on the moon — all in Jockeys. Print ads take a similar bent, but show the top half of the real hero's body combined with the underwear-wearing bottom half of a model stand-in.
The underlying message is arguably powerful, says Allison Cohen, an advertising consultant and owner of PeopleTalk: "If these guys wore Jockey, then we should, too."
Indeed, they did.
Ruth previously shilled for Jockey during his career. Gen. Patton — and virtually all American soldiers — wore them, as Jockey was a supplier to much of the American military in his time. And Aldrin says that while he didn't wear them in space — which required special undergarments — he wore them in training, since Jockey also was a supplier to NASA.
He says he still does. "Jockey has been part of my wearing apparel for quite some time," he says.
Aldrin insists he's not at all embarrassed about his image showing up in an underwear spot. "I have better pictures in briefer bathing suits than that," he says.
But the feisty supporter of domestic space programs says he's especially proud of a non-Jockey brand T-shirt he likes to wear that bears a not-so-subtle message in favor of funding for space exploration: "Get your ass to Mars."

The beauty industry is a huge industry with many new products being developed on a regular basis.
Many of these new products are presented at conventions. The Be Well Beauty Expo convention took place downtown Los Angeles at the convention center on Sept 28 & 29. http://www.bewell-expo.com/ It also included six prominent high profile keynote speakers to educate consumers about the beauty industry.
It was the first annual convention and was host to everything health including nutrition and beauty, makeup , nail polishes, temporary glitter tattoos , creams, lotions ,masks, Anti-wrinkle devices and demonstrations and hair items. It was quite a treat. There were also other health orientated products such as a green tea concentrate, and discovered that the concentrate had no sugar but tasted wonderfully. It came in a bottle that could be carried in your purse so all you would need to do is add a dropper or two in the water.
The synthetic lashes were placed on existing lashes, one by one, to lengthen and make regular lashes more glamorous. Additionally presented, were several make up lines with lots of color variations and various mineral lines along with the traditional lines of makeup. The beauty and health industry is constantly evolving in providing new and innovative products. I highly recommend visiting these events if you are interested in keeping pace with what is going on in the industry. By Donna Spangler

Effective vocabulary instruction requires active and positive student participation. In addition, familiarity with high-frequency affixes and roots promotes comprehension of numerous words in which they occur as meaningful chunks. In this online activity, students flip two chips to mix and match four word parts and make four words. Students then insert the four words into a paragraph, using context clues to determine where each word belongs. After each exercise, students can print their work to check whether they placed the four words in the paragraph correctly.

Why is it when it comes to insurance, many people do not think that legal insurance is a priority. No one gives it a second thought to spend loads of money on medical, car or auto insurance. But, the minute that you tell them about the importance of legal insurance, most people will give plenty of reasons for why they cannot afford it. Sure, everyone needs medical insurance because you never know when you will fall sick or if an emergency will arise. Or, no one wants to pass away without making sure that their loved ones are taken care of. Obviously, no one wants to drive a vehicle without making sure that it is protected during an accident.
It is true. Auto, medical and life insurance are all very important. But, you should not rule out legal insurance and assume that it is not important. You could fall into a legal situation requires you to dish out a lot of money. You never know when you are going to be sued or be held liable for something that you don't agree with. Also, you never know when you will have to go after someone who doesn't want to hold up his end of an agreement. Legal insurance can help you during these tough times.
Think about some of the reasons that you may need legal representation. You don't have to commit a major crime in order to need legal representation. It could be something minor that happens in your life. For example, what happens if a friend slips on your property and incurs medical expenses? What happens if you get a traffic ticket? Who will handle the legal paperwork if you adopt a child? How are you going to get a scrupulous vendor to honor a warranty for a product that no longer works? Is there a legal way that you can get out of your apartment lease? Do you need your lawyer during your upcoming audit? As you can see these are all common things that happen in everyday life. No, you haven't committed any major crimes. However, you do need legal representation.
Legal insurance is there to protect you, if you should ever need to pay for legal expenses. It can be used if someone begins legal proceedings against you. Also, you can use it if you want to begin legal proceedings against someone else. Instead of having to pay for your legal expenses all at one time, you can pay monthly insurance premiums for a specified amount of legal services. This means that you will have access to a lawyer or legal representation to get you out of hot water. Many times you won't need to actually go to court. You just need to know your legal rights and what you are entitled to or liable for. A lot of times, all it takes is a simple phone call to get the information that you need.
In conclusion, legal insurance is a cost saver that can help with legal expenses if you should ever need it. There are even plans that are as low as twenty dollars a month. Get great legal counsel for a low price and gain peace of mind all at the same time.
