DIY: Hold your phone while charging!
Let us try to make a mobile phone holder out of the ordinary lotion bottle that you usually throw in the trash or in the storeroom after using the content in it.
Materials needed:
- Plastic bottle (It should be wider than your phone)
- Scissor or plastic cutter
- Marker
- Sandpaper or filer
- Fabric cloth, any old clothing that you are not using anymore will do
- Mod Podge
- Brush to apply the Mod Podge
- Box cutter/Exacto knife
Let's begin.
First, take the plastic bottle and mark the height of the holder you want. Make sure how safe it can hold your phone. For reference, see the picture.
Cut the bottle along the line with scissors or a box cutter until you get the phone holder shape.
Next, draw a curved box shape on the back of the bottle towards the upper part. Then cut it out, so that we can hang wherever we want. Smooth out its rough edges by using sandpaper.
Then, sand the surface of the whole bottle. This will help to rough up the surface so that the Mod Podge will stick well. Also, it is better to sand the printed ink so that it will not be visible from the other side.
Then, cut a piece of fabric, big enough to wrap around the phone holder and keep an inch or two extra on the top and bottom.
Then apply a substantial layer of Mod Podge to the front part.
Next, place the fabric right on top at the center.
Then, apply more Mod Podge around the side of the container and continue to wrap it with the fabric downright against it, pulling it tightly. Make sure to pull the fabric down around the curve of the bottom of the bottle so that it will keep the fabric flat and smooth. Use good amount of Mod Podge in the process.
At the back of the holder, overlap one of the edges over the other. Be sure that the fabric is smooth all around the bottle and then cut a straight line up the back of the container, trimming off the excess fabric.
Now, apply a nice thick layer of Mod Podge over all of the fabric and seal all of the edges of the fabric with the Mod Podge, ensuring the fabric won't peel off.
Lastly, measure and cut fabric to fit the bottom of the bottle. Apply a layer of Mod Podge on the bottom of the bottle, attach the oval shape fabric on the bottom and then apply another coat of Mod Podge on it. Now keep it upside down in a way so that it can dry, without touching anything.
Once it gets dry, cut out the fabric on the square opening at the upper part of the holder using a box cutter/Exacto knife. Once it is cut down, apply more Mod Podge around the opening and allow it to dry again.
Then use the box cutter/Exacto knife and run the blade right along the edge of the phone holder all the way to remove any stray threads or chunks of dried Mod Podge.
And the phone holder is ready for use.

DIY Simple Mobile Holder from Popsicle Sticks!
Holding a mobile phone in hands for long hours, while watching a movie or on a video call becomes irritating. And if you have sweaty hands, then it's another issue. The best solution for this problem is to have a mobile phone stand that holds the mobile. So, here is a stepwise procedure to build a mobile phone stand using some recycled popsicle sticks. Yes, you read it right! Popsicle sticks … 😉
Let's begin.
Materials you will need- Recycled Popsicle Sticks (6-7), Glue Gun, Crafting Scissors, Markers (For Detailing).
First, place two popsicle sticks angled in the shape of an 'A' without the bar in the middle as shown in the image.
Now add some glue and stick the two sticks at the tapering edge.
Now take another popsicle stick and attach it across the 'A' shape almost near the bottom by using glue. Make sure there is sufficient ground clearance.
Then attach a small piece of popsicle stick across the 'A' joint on the top. This will provide better support to your stand.
Next, add more hot glue on this newly made joint and place another popsicle stick on it as shown in the image. Bend it and keep the angle as per your desired angle and let it dry.
Now the mobile phone holder is complete. However, you can paint it with your favorite color or use a marker to make some random designs on the stand.
Now, this is ready to use. Happy DIY!!!
DIY Gorgeous Cake Stands
You can convert or repurpose your basic flower pots and saucers into lovely dessert stands with these simple and easy steps.
Materials Needed: 12″ saucer, ruler, a 4″ pot, super glue, pink chalk paint, gray chalk paint, white paint, water, paintbrush, painter's tape, gold liquid gilding, sanding block, alphabet stamps, ink pad, food-safe wax and cloth.
Now let's do it.
First, measure and mark on the center of the 12-inch saucer.
Then, attach the 4-inch pot to the center mark of the saucer with super glue.
Let it dry overnight.
Once the pot is fixed with saucer, start painting the pot with pink chalk paint and let it dry. Once the paint gets dried flip it and start painting the saucer with gray chalk paint.
Mix two thirds white paint and one-third water, and paint the saucer again.
Then cover the rim of the saucer with painter's tape and coat the outer edge in gold liquid gilding. Let it dry and then remove the tape.
Lightly distress the top with sandpaper until the gray paint and terra-cotta peek through.
Next, add a cute line with the alphabet stamps and ink pad.
Use a cloth to buff on food-safe wax over both the saucer and the pot.
Your new cake stand is ready to serve.
Make Invisible Bookshelves!
All home décor fans love using wall space effectively. Let us do some cheap and yet cool décor on the wall. We will try making an invisible bookshelf that really creates a stylish hover effect and also saves money and space. Follow these instructions.
Materials needed:
- 1 L shaped metal wall brace (the bigger the stronger, however, it should not be longer than the width of the book)
- Screws
- Stud Finder
- A drill
- Velcro strips
- A book that you don't read anymore
First, take a sticky Velcro strip and stick it in the center of the back cover of the book. Similarly, stick another strip to one of the exterior sides of the metal brace.
Now, find a stud in the wall and mark it with a pencil.
Let's begin drilling the holes. Ensure the brace is straight, and also make sure that the velcro is facing the floor.
When you have it level, mark the holes, drill the top one first. Make sure that it goes straight into the wall to avoid breaking off the bit. Similarly, do for the other holes.
Now, set the book to the bottom of the brace by sticking the velcro strip on the back cover hanging down.
Now, stack the books on top of the shelf.
- Make sure that the diameter of the drill is a little smaller than the screw.
- Putting the top screw in the brace on the wall first before drilling the second hole is a lot easier, it makes it less difficult to keep it level.
Make Your Old Heels Glitter!!!
A pair of sexy glitter heels are must-have-footwear for every girl. Sometimes, we hesitate to buy them because of their high prices. Therefore here is a way how we can make our own glitter heels.
Things needed: Pair of old footwear, Mod Podge, Glitter of your color preference, Paintbrush, Krylon Triple-Thick Crystal Clear Glaze.
Let' begin the magic.
Step 1
First, paint a thin layer of Mod Podge onto the footwear, one section at a time.
Step 2
Then, sprinkle fine glitter onto the Mod Podge liberally. Gently tap or shake the footwear to remove the excess glitter.
Step 3
Similarly, repeat the process until the entire shoe is covered with glitter. For better results, you can do additional coats once the first coat gets dried.
Step 4
Let it dry for a couple of hours, and then spray it with the Krylon Triple-Thick Clear Glaze, to make the glitters fixed so that it won't leave a glitter trail everywhere it goes.
If you don't have the Krylon spray, you can use another coat or two of plain Mod Podge over the top of the shoes to seal in the glitter.
Before you start the glittering affair, don't forget to place a newspaper or foil on the area where you want to do an experiment to avoid drips or spills on the floor.

Making Scented Candles at Home!
All of us love things that smell good, especially in winter when most of us like to spend time indoors. Charismatic aroma is the first thing that comes to mind when we think of a romantic candlelight dinner. Good fragrance really soothes mind and acts as a good refresher. Here are steps to follow in order to make your own scented candles
2kg soy wax or paraffin, scented or essential oils, mica or candle powders in various colors of your choice (optional), double boiler or you can use a heatproof bowl and a saucepan, thermometer, candle moulds or you can use small glass jars, tins and pots, spray oil, wicks and hairdryer.
- First, grate or chop the wax or paraffin. Chop it as fine as you can, so that it will take lesser time melt. In case you are using a double boiler, get it set up. Or else, boil some water in a or saucepan, then set a heatproof bowl on top of the saucepan.
- Now, add the chopped or grated wax to the top of the boiler or the bowl and let it melt. Don't forget to stir frequently. Ensure the temperature of the wax does not exceed 90°C by using the thermometer.
- Once the wax gets melted completely, add desired oil or combination of oils and powder for the color of your preference. Try to do this over the heat, very quickly, so that the coloring agent gets combined easily.
- Then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Now prepare your mould. Spray it with a little oil for easy removal. Then, insert the wick by tying the wick to a pencil and keep the pencil horizontally across the top of the mould so that the wick hangs vertically at the center of the mould.
- Now, pour the wax to about 2cm from the top. Use a hairdryer to dispel any air bubbles or divots, and smooth the top.
- Cut off the wick and leave the candle for at least 24 hours before removing from the mould.
Happy DIY!!!
Make Soda Can Bracelets!
Have you ever thought of wearing jewelry made from waste like those Pepsi or Coke cans? Oh yeah! Today I am going to show you how to make bracelets out of a soda can.
Things Needed: Soda cans, ribbon or some fabric scrap, jewelry glue or metal glue or super glue and Modge Podge
Let the fun begin …
1) Take a soda can and with the help of the scissors, cut two strips of equal width. Make sure that the width of the can strips are smaller than the width of the ribbon you are using.
2) Then glue the strips together like one on top of the other to make it a little durable. Let it dry.
3) Wrap the ribbon around can strip to measure the exact length of the ribbon you need. Then cut the ribbon about 1/2 inch longer than the exact measurement. Similarly, cut another strip of ribbon of the same length.
4) Now paint the outside of the can strip with Modge Podge and paste the ribbon around on top of the strip. Make sure that there is an extra ribbon of equal length on each end of can. This is needed to overlap and fasten bangle.
5) Similarly, repeat the procedure to paste the ribbon strip inside of the can strip with Modge Podge. Now, let this dry. You can use clothespins to hold it till it gets dried.
6) Now, smear Modge Podge over ribbons on both the outer and the inner side and let it dry.
7) You can use it as it is else you can give it more décor. Take another thinner ribbon of contrast color to the previous ribbon and use Modge Podge or fabric glue to paste it around the center of the bigger ribbon. Or else you can be more creative and do whatever you want.
8) Measure the bangle by checking what size you need it so that it will slide on and off over your hand. Then use fabric glue or Modge Podge to join one end on top of the other hand at the appropriate size. Hold together with a clothespin until it dries.
9) Use Modge Podge to attach two other ribbon ends – one of them covers the place where the can was joined together.
Next time, don't just drink the coke, try wearing it. Below are some more designs for your reference.

Make your Eco-friendly Ganpati for Puja at Home!
In India Vinayak Chaturthi or Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the biggest festivals celebrated in major parts of the nation. The planning and preparation take full swing prior to the grand day. However, pollution is the major concern of the nation today many sculptors put a great effort to make eco-friendly idols using water-soluble products or bio-degradable materials.
Non-biodegradable products and synthetic paints from the idols causes a serious threat to aquatic life and environment when immersed in water bodies soon after the celebration gets over. So, let's take a step forward towards the conservation of our natural resources and instead of buying those hazardous idols for the puja at your home, we can try making ecofriendly idols. Another advantage of the homemade idol is the immense satisfaction of creating Ganpati idol with your own hands and not just bringing the idol to home.
Let's make it happen…
2 cups wheat flour or Atta, 1 cup salt, 1 pinch of turmeric, enough water to make a tight dough, about 1 cup
Making the dough –
- Take a large bowl and mix the flour, salt, and turmeric properly.
- Now add water and mix thoroughly and knead to make a tight dough.
Dividing dough into parts and make balls
- Make one large round ball for making the belly of the idol
- Make two medium size balls for making the base and head of the idol
- Then two round small balls for the legs
- Two very small balls form hands
- Then make four more tiny balls, two for ears and two for eyes and even one more ball for the trunk
Now the real creativity begins…
Out of the two, take one medium size ball and flatten it as shown in the image to make the base.
Then take the large ball and place it on the base to form the belly. Please note that belly should not be placed at the center but a little back on the base. Use a few drops of water to make it glued to the base.
Level the back using your fingertips after placing belly ball of dough so that it is smooth all over.
Now let's make the legs. Take two of those small balls and roll them making a stick-like shape, then press at the ends and bend the tip of the ends little back as shown in the images.
Now take the two very small balls and make small stick like shape. Then bend them into a V shape.
Fold the two legs and place them at the 2 sides of the belly and place the V-shaped hands above the legs as shown in the image. Now, slightly press and make the tip of the right hand little straight as per the image below.
Now time for making the head part, take the 2nd medium size ball and place on the belly. Level the back using fingertips to smoothen it.
To make the trunk take another small ball and make a long conical stick as shown in the image and fix it in the middle of the head and stomach. Now slightly bend the edges of trunk sideward as in the image.
Take the two tiny balls for ears and fix them at each side of the head and then press in the middle, top, and bottom to flatten it. In the same way, take other two tiny balls for eyes and fix them as in the image.
Now comes the final step to make the crown. For this take three small balls of different sizes. Press them and place one above the other. Another tiny ball can be placed and fixed at the center of the crown to give it some more decoration. Now fix the crown on the top of the head as shown in the image.
You can also show your talent in making the idol looks more beautiful and natural.
Once the idol-making is completed, bake it for an hour in the oven at the lowest setting to make it more durable.
Notes: You may use kumkum and haldi for decorating purposes. Salt acts as a preservative and baking helps in solidifying the murti/idol. The most interesting fact is the flour or atta becomes food for the fishes in the lake after Ganpati Visarjan.
Ganpati Bappa Mouryaa!!!

Serving champagne is a gesture of generosity towards oneself, the guest and life.
The people we meet nowadays mostly drink beer and bad wine, some of them are not even drinking. There are even said to be people who swear by hay milk, detox iced tea and relaxation drinks. They say it does them good. We think they're wrong. They always seem balanced, never self-forgotten or happy.
Well, we love champagne. It is lively and cloudy at the same time. You can't get enough, but if you get too much, you have a much more interesting intoxication than with beer or wine; the priorities change, you're somehow exaggerated, turned up and original, not dull or cozy; it doesn't press you on your seat, you're thrown out, champagne drives you into action. With Champagne you keep a sharp sense and understanding.

The Joys of ChUNO (Chinese UNO)
There has been an unopened deck of "UNO" cards floating around the house for the last few days. I am not sure how they got here but I took a good look at them this morning and knew immediately that this was a counterfeit set of UNO cards!
Yes – a fake ripoff copy of UNO! At least we know the country of origin (like there was ever a doubt!)
Notice how funny the ChUNO looks beside a real deck of UNO cards? They appear to be a copy of the real old boxes of UNO.
I know quite a bit about these cards since I've been playing for about 30 years now. I'm no UNO expert, but I do dabble a bit.
I also have one older deck still left so we can compare real vs. fake. Hmm, something is missing from the fake cards. Maybe the registered trademark symbol? I wonder what that means?
I was disappointed at the lack of Chinglish instructions that I was so looking forward to sharing on the blog. The weird symbols and squatty font on the ChUNO cards made up for that a bit.
Notice how the Chinese ChUNO cards are printed with much cheaper and duller ink. Oddly, the card stock is quite comparable.
My favorite cards are the Draw Four and Wild cards. I'm guessing the printing press has a limited color system. These cards were on top and I was a tad let down when I realized we did have green, yellow, blue, and red cards. I was hoping for the color scheme on the Chuno Wild cards – pee yellow, off green baby poop, poop, and light poop.
These cards are going into storage. I washed my hands after I handled them also. Who knows what sort of chemicals are on them or what kind of fumes they are emitting? Oh, well – thank you, China, for another good chuckle.

Tips to Overcome Odor on Toilet using Natural Materials
You often smell a bad smell on the toilet? Flushing soapy water into the closet does not seem to be a good inspiration because it could be one of the causes of the death of the decomposing bacteria in the toilet.
Below is part of the Natural Guide to Handle the Odor on the Toilet, hopefully it can be practiced!
Actually the cause of unpleasant odors there are various types, one of which can come from the existing ammonia substances due to the death of bacteria decomposers in the bathroom room.
Bad smell in the toilet can also be caused by the lack of quality sanitary equipment used. Toilet with a material that has a large pore can keep the rest of urine that is not watered properly, and it has also will cause a bad smell also in our bathroom.
Here are some natural guidelines to deal with the smell in the bathroom:
- Wearing coffee or coffee grounds tubruk
The step is very easy, brewed black coffee like if we want to drink it, let stand some time until it is not so hot, then flush into the toilet to get rid of the bad smell. Beyond that, can also use the pulp of coffee tubruk. Provide a cup of hot water, input the coffee grounds and a little salt, then stir. Combine the water water into the wc hole and its surroundings.
- Vinegar as well as baking soda
Sprinkle more than one bowl of baking soda into the closet area and seat when the toilet seat shapes, then sprinkle a little vinegar and cover it. Let along the whole one hour, then flush and clean all the toilet corner.
- Place the plant inside the bathroom
If our bathroom is big enough, we can put green plants in it. Plants can help provide fresh air in the bathroom.
- Use charcoal
Place some of the charcoal that remains new in some corner of the toilet. In a few days the smell of toilets will also disappear.

Yes, it's been almost a year and I have not, until right now, blogged our entire wedding. That's what happens when you shoot other people's weddings for a living. Yours goes by and you're on to the next one... then you wake up and realize... in just a month you are celebrating one year of marriage!
I've blogged a little bit about our wedding already including why we got married before our wedding, our music, the FAQ's and walking myself down the aisle but I have never shared the entire day with ya'll here!
A lot has changed. Since we promised forever, exchanged some bling and got drunk with our friends, a lot has happened. Kyle's grandfather, Sheldon, and my uncle Larry are no longer with us (they appear in a bunch of photos below). What a blessing it was to have them with us on our special day. I don't take that for granted. Many of our friends are having babies (some with each other - you know who you are), some have moved and some have also experienced loss. Looking back through these images as I pulled them together for this blog post just made me think of how quick and precious life is. We are so lucky to be able to have two anniversaries and two chances to celebrate!
We had anniversary photos taken by my sweet friend, Caity, last week and I'll be sharing those for our wedding anniversary. For our marriage anniversary (if you're still confused... read this...), I'm so excited to share the images from throughout our wedding day with all of you.
Cheers to many more years!
I want to thank our wonderful friends + the artists and the vendor team that made the day possible:
WEDDING GOWN: Nicole Miller | CUSTOM ALTERATIONS: Maridadi Couture | BRIDES SHOES: Jack Rogers | GROOM'S SUIT: ASOS | GROOM'S SHOES: Florsheim | FLORALS: everyone deserves flowers. | PHOTOGRAPHY: Melania Marta Photography | ENTERTAINMENT: Soundfactor Entertainment | OFFICIANT: Jared Bailey | LATE NIGHT SNACK: Dutch Country Hand Rolled Soft Pretzels | CATERING: FFF Catering | DINNER SERVICE & LOGISTICS: Louise Soskin + team | MOB'S DRESS: Lilly Pulitzer | VEIL: HoneyPieBridal | BRIDE'S FASCINATOR: Aino Bridal | BRIDE'S JEWELRY: heirloom family pieces | REMEMBRANCE LOCKET: whichgoose | CUSTOM DOG LEASH: My Favorite Hound | MONOGRAMMED BOUQUET RIBBON: Oatmeal Lace Design | CAKE: Farmhouse Cakes | DONUTS: Duck Donuts | PAPER GOODS & CALLIGRAPHY: custom designs by Savannah Smith Photography | HAIR: Tanya OBrien | MAKEUP: Blush Beautiful
So, do we celebrate both anniversaries? Absolutely. We exchanged gifts, had anniversary portraits taken by Cait Kramer Photography and in late August we're taking a short trip. In case you were wondering... I got Kyle a brick on the pathway of the SPCA in honor of Butters and he is taking me out to the restaurant where we shared an improptu meal after going to the courthouse last year.
I can't wait to share more of our anniversary portraits by Cait Kramer Photography next month!

The Samsung Galaxy S9 has slick design and the latest hardware, but it's not just a pretty face. This phone includes ample software features and options—so many, in fact, you might need help wading through it all to find the truly useful stuff. You need not wander the menus alone anymore. Here are the best tips to make your new Galaxy S9 as useful as possible.
Home screen landscape
Samsung's home screen got a big overhaul last year, and this time it's refining what's already there. Finally, the stock "Samsung Experience" launcher works in landscape mode, and it's one of the best implementations of a landscape launcher you'll find. This feature is disabled by default on most versions of the Galaxy S9, but you can enable it with a quick trip to the launcher settings. Long-press on an empty space and tap the settings button at the bottom. You need to turn off the Portrait mode only toggle to get landscape mode.

And we loved that Allie and Cam chose a brunch wedding to break away from the usual - it was perfect! Every detail was simple and thought out to reflect the bohemian spirit of these two love birds. The photos that captured the day were the icing on the cake!

25 ft under Snow for 6 Days
An army jawan shocked everyone by staying alive 25 feet under snow for as many as six days. About 10 soldiers were trapped by avalanche on the Siachen glacier on February 3rd. While this soldier made up with his determination, all others are believed to be dead. Bodies of five army men were recovered and search is going on to find others. "Lance Naik Hanamanthappa has been found alive. He is critical but all attempts are being made to evacuate him to RR hospital in the morning. We hope the miracle continues. Pray with us. The teams are working round the clock and observing all precautions since the unstable ice and snow in the region could trigger fresh avalanches. Rescue efforts will continue till all our soldiers are found" said Lieutenant General DS. Hooda.

Believing in your personal talents, skills, or your own product line is the first step toward your success in an industry that is full of life and glamour!
Do Any of These Sound Familiar to You?
- Customers are hard to come by, and I'm getting burnt out and exhausted.
- I'm barely making enough to make ends meet. I just can't seem to get ahead!
- I'm scared. I've invested a lot of time and money, and I can't afford to lose my business!
- I thought I had what it takes to build a successful freelance business. Maybe I was wrong!
- I'm totally stressed out and feel I'm beating myself up to get the numbers I need to survive.
- I'm frustrated and I'm confused. My business isn't growing fast enough for me to sustain it.
The above are the voices of many freelance beauty professionals struggling to get the momentum moving upward in their business. You may actually relate to some, if not all, of the voices above, because the pain of starting and growing a business runs deep, very deep!
Within the ever changing and complex business environment, where being effective and successful is no longer optional, exists the immense pressure to produce more and more for less and less.
Despite the gains in technology, most freelancers are barely surviving. However, the reality should be that business is thriving, growing, and supplying you with the kind of business and lifestyle you aspire to realizing, regardless of the pressure to produce more and more for less and less.
If you're fortunate enough to land a position as an esthetician in a high-end, high volume resort or spa, even with your skills, knowledge, and the amount of hours you work, chances are you're still not making the income you're truly worth.
If you're a makeup artist, fortunate enough to be financially stable and have a lot of time and money to pursue building a sustainable business, depending on the niche you choose and your willingness to travel, chances are it will take years to build a large enough customer base to have a successful business.
Either way, as an independent beauty professional, you've spent a lot of time, money, and years learning your trade and perfecting your knowledge and skills.
The Two Biggest Challenges
Yet, when it comes to building a successful freelance business, the two big challenges are: cost-effective, results driven marketing, and acquiring a continuous stream of customers who will continue to grow your business, month after month and year after year through referrals, product purchases, and other services.
The voices of frustration, confusion, and burn-out, of overcoming these two challenges, can make or break a freelancer's business as well as break the bank!
Effectively marketing your products and services is a huge challenge. What most have come to learn, unfortunately some later than others, is that traditional marketing methods not only severely lack results, but are very time consuming and costly.
This is especially true when it comes to online marketing. Too many beauty professionals believe general social posting and mere visibility is the way to create sales. This belief alone will drain you of time and money while generating little if any business.
Yes, making social posts does lend some level of validity, visibility, awareness, and curiosity. It may get you some business. But, as a freelancer, social posts, article posts, sharing, pinning, instagraming, and other forms of online media must generate revenues. Otherwise, it is a waste of time. Servicing five, ten, or fifteen customers a month will not build a business and grow your clientele fast enough to generate high five-to-six-figure revenues. However, innovation, consumer data capture, leveraging specific online resources, and creating a system that works like clockwork will build your business beyond what you may think possible.
Innovation is the key to providing you the income and freedom you aspire to creating in your life, and leveraging the Internet is the best, most effective way to achieve this.
The Best Bet for Customer Acquisition, Retention and Growth.
The exponential, revolutionary explosion of the Internet is the most modern and powerful of creations since the Industrial Age. There's nothing like it, and as it continues to evolve, the opportunity for businesses to thrive only becomes more significant and relevant.
And with the existence of the Internet, the pain of growing a business doesn't have to run deep, because the primary problem is not in attaining proper beauty knowledge or skills. The problem is that most beauty professionals do not know how to effectively and successfully market a beauty business.
Leveraging the proper Internet resources in a strategic system will begin moving your business toward innovation. Here are five steps you can take.
- Change Your Business Model.
Servicing one-on-one is what is most widely taught, but it is time consuming and lacks monetization of generating maximum revenues. Innovating and creating a business model that allows groups of interested consumers is the best way to maximize your time and value.
And remember that there is a difference between a customer simply looking for a one-time service and the client who seeks a continued relationship.
When you recognize that client who seeks a continued relationship, it's always best to sell yourself first and then your services by asking specific questions to determine and assess that client's needs. Being caring, sincere, and a good listener will allow you to address and meet your client's needs, strengthen your rapport, and help you sell more products.
- Create an Irresistible Promotion.
Seek out a marketing source that has the capability to send targeted, qualified customers who pay for your service prior to their appointment and where you can offer upfront value that will most always equate to trust, likeability, relationships, and backend profits. Properly leveraging the power of deal sites is one way to draw floods of customers.
- Create an Auto-responder.
Once the consumer makes a purchase for your service, you want to get them on your list. Building a list of prospects will be vital to your long-term success. Set up and done properly, it allows you to legally email other promotions, news, and specials. It also keeps your products, service, and business in the forefront with just a few clicks of the mouse. Again, continuing to build trust, likeability, and making you the go-to authority in your area.
- Create Interesting and Valuable Emails.
Make sure that your automated emails are of value to your customer. Anything less will degrade your authority, trust, and likeability in the mind of the customer.
Additionally, be sure to properly plan out each email sent over a one to three month period, which should be inclusive of knowledge-based tips and tricks, specials, and promotions.
- Automate Time-Consuming Tasks.
Properly structuring your business is vital to its success. Streamlining and automating various business tasks to ultimately have a scalable business that encompasses automation will not only allow your business to grow quickly, it will also monetize your business to its maximum level.
If you have the determination to succeed and you're truly passionate and committed about building a successful, measurable, and sustainable freelance business, my team and I have developed a well-engineered, scalable business and marketing system that is not only proven to get results and works like clockwork, but can be customized to meet or exceed your business expectations and requirements.

Suffering From A Kennesaw Sewer Damage Repair Incident?
Though floodings are possibly best known for producing substantial water damage to homes and businesses, they can likewise result in sewage from sanitary sewer lines to back up into houses through drain pipes.
These types of backups not only lead to damage which is hard and costly to correct, but also produce health risks.
Many homeowner and business insurance coverage policies do not handle sewer backup except if particular sewer backup insurance coverage is added to the policy.
Sewer backup protection is readily obtainable from many insurers for a reasonable cost, commonly $60 or $70 on an annual insurance coverage.
Many homeowners and businessmen might just not recognise that they accountable for the upkeep and repair service of the property or sewer lateral the pipe in between the municipality sanitary sewer main, in most cases situated below the street, and the building.
The sewer lateral is possessed and managed by the property owner comprising of any section that may spread out into the avenue or common right of way. A fractured or deteriorated lateral or one containing tree roots may permit groundwater to weep into the system, contributing to the likely sewer backup concerns.

Common Root Causes Of Sewer Back-up:
Clogs Caused By Tree Roots: Shrubs and trees looking for hydration could secure their way right into sewer line splits triggering sizable damages. They could begin little, accessing a tiny rift through the piping; however, as the tree or shrubbery continues to mature, so does the root. Tree roots could make an entrance the service pipe at junctions and result in obstructions. They have the ability to as well journey a lengthy way, and roots from various varieties of trees behave differently.
In the event that you suspect that municipality trees accountable for sewer line damage, your plumbing professional can telephone the municipality and samplings of the roots will be utilized to help determine the trees and who is obligated for cleanup. Every so often a blockage is the result of a mix of city and private trees. In this case damages are apportioned amongst the city and property owner.
Sanitary Main: A blockage can turn up inside of a city hygienic main.
If the clog is not picked up on in time, excrement from the main can back up into homes and companies via flooring drains. Generally that transpires gradually, presenting the home owner time to arrange for a trained plumber to check the damages. Get in touch with the city public works office and report the problem immediately so that a city operator can investigate if water is entering your basement at a rapid rate.
Water in Cellar: Most cellar flooding is not linked with the hygienic sewer equipment. Thus, water can show up in a bsmt which has never before experienced a water problem. Water drainage may be improved by being sure that water recedes from the building.
Homeowners and business insurance policy coverage do not insure flood damages: Only flood insurance protection are going to handle your damages in the event of a flood. Federal flood insurance policies can be bought straight from an insurance coverage agent or a company representative, and are easily available to areas that take part in the National Flood Insurance Program.
Just about 100 insurance companies service and prepare NFIP protection plans. In order to search for an agent or company supporting your location, visit www.floodsmart.gov or call 888-379-9531. Your insurance agent or broker can supervise the case for you.

How to Prevent Backups in Your Lateral and in the City Main
Unlawful Plumbing system Connections: Do not attach French drains, sump pumps and other flood control equipment to your hygienic sewer. It is illegal, and blockages and sand will stop up your line. Get in touch with a plumbing professional to fix any type of not approved couplings.
Setup a Backwater Prevention Device: A backwater valve is a device built within a sewage system line, and on occasion within a drainpipe line, in the basement of your property or business to prevent drainpipe backflows. A correctly set up and cared for backwater valve lets discharge to head out, yet just not to return back in. Property owners are responsible for the set up and service of backwater control devices. The costs to install one depends on the kind of plumbing in your home or business and the difficulty of installation. Contact a trustworthy plumber.
Deal with Grease Appropriately: Cooking oil should be poured into a heat-resistant container and disposed of properly, once it cools down, certainly not in the sink. Washing grease down the drain with warm water will cause serious complications. As the grease cools down, it will certainly solidify either in the sink, the home owner's line, or in the main sewer causing the pipe to narrow and in time stop up.
Switch out Your Pipes With Brand-New Plastic pipe: A particular way to prevent tree roots from going into your line is to change out your line and tap with brand-new plastic pipe. You may have to have roots cut every so often if you still have issues with tree root systems expanding in your lateral.
Deal With Paper Products Correctly: Paper towels, non-reusable (and cloth) diapers, and feminine products may cause lots of concerns in the home owner's lateral and also in the municipality main given that they do not break-down very quickly, as toilet paper does.
If You Experience A Sewer Backup, What To Do:
A sewer backup can lead to disease, destruction of your valuables, damage to your house or business, and can even result in electrical malfunctions. In the event of sewer backup, immediately arrange for the cleanup of your property.
- Rinsing out and sterilizing plumbing system equipments.
- Heavy steam washing or clearing away soaked carpets and rugs or curtains.
- Removing or repairing wrecked sheetrock or wall surface covering.
- Wet-vacuuming or removing spillage.
- Clean-up of ductwork.
- Sponging floors and cleaning walls with detergent and water and anti-bacterial.
How To File Your Insurance ClaimWith regards to insurance claim reasons, take before and after pics of the affected areas and catalog all of the property losses. Retain all slips related to repairs, washing or damages and reach out to your Independent Insurance Agent as soon as possible.

Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg Advancement Award for Essays in Design Criticism
Deadline for submissions: 15 April 2019
Developed in honour of the industrial designer Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg, responsible for major contribution to the professionalisation of the design discipline in Germany, the Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg Advancement Award for Essays in Design Criticism 2019 is being held for the eighth time to support design students and graduates in their theoretical work.
There is little consensus even among those involved in design discourse about exactly how to define the concept of design, making it all the more important to encourage writing on content and style in order to create a better understanding of the subject, both within the discipline and among the wider public. Submissions to the competition should present current problem areas in a realistic and accessible manner, while highlighting their relevance to social issues. The texts can be part of a study or PhD thesis as long as they have been written independently. The competition is particularly interested in new perspectives and unusual approaches to current topics with comprehensive content that is also scientifically sound.
There are no constraints regarding presentation and genre: essays, reviews, reports, arguments, portraits of a person or a company, analyses, documentation, etc., are all valid.
Applications are open to students of all universities specialising in design in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Graduates are entitled to participate up to two years after graduation. The competition takes place in German. The jury, consisting of Werner Aisslinger, Anna Berkenbusch, Egon Chemaitis, Thomas Edelmann, Florian Hufnagl, Susanne Schwarz-Raacke and Matthias Wagner K will discuss the submissions in a one-stage anonymous process during the summer.
The Swiss publisher Niggli Verlag will publish the winning text as an independent book in the series "bf-preis. Designkritische Texte".

#askyourosteopath - I'm running the Manchester Marathon, how could Osteopathy help me?
#askyourosteopath - Our osteopaths answer your questions!
Our Principal Osteopath Collette Bourke answers a question about the upcoming Manchester Marathon.
Firstly, congratulations on undertaking such a challenge and yes Osteopathy can help you prepare to train to your fullest potential, avoid injuries, and recover after the event.
Osteopathy is increasingly used for preventing injury as well as rehabilitating injury and we can help in the following ways (click the title to head through to a more detailed explanation):
1) Fail to prepare – prepare to fail!
Runners are enthusiastic and competitive, but eagerness to reach their goals means some will do too much, too soon. You can easily overwork and overstrain ankles, knees, hips and the back by starting intensive training without considering the impact it has on your body. One of the jobs of an Osteopath is to fully assess your joints, muscles and ligaments to identify a potential injury so we can provide treatment to prevent the injury from occurring.
2) We help you achieve your personal best!
As an osteopath I am focused on getting your body 100% healthy. The body, like a well-oiled machine, only runs effectively and efficiently when all the parts are in good condition and are working well together. As a runner, this means I would be looking to ensure your muscles, ligaments and tendons are healthy and your joints are moving without restriction, so you can reach your goals.
3) Post-Marathon Rehabilitation
Even with the best training and preparation, there is no hiding from the fact that a marathon takes a lot out of your body. Often niggles don't present themselves immediately, so it is a good idea to see an Osteopath after the run so any tensions or strains can be picked up and treated. This helps your body to recover so you're in tiptop condition for your next challenge!
To make an appointment to see Collette you can do so using our online booking system, just click here. For more advice please contact the clinic.
If you have a question you would like us to answer you can email us or use the hashtag #askyourosteopath !

A staple in the kitchen and in skincare products, Olive Oil has been used on the body since the ancient times. Packed with anti-aging antioxidants and hydrating squalene, it helps the skin cells regenerate and removes dead skin cells. It is highly effective in providing the needed moisture to shield and protect your skin, keeping it smooth and repairing skin damage caused by sun exposure.
Our ingredient super star is rich in beta carotene, vitamins A and E and pro-vitamin A. Carrot Seed oil helps to heal and repair dry, chapped and cracked skin, balances the skin moisture, reduces wrinkles, and rejuvenates dry and mature skin. Not only is it great for your skin, it is the main active ingredient that makes you tan faster as it is a major building block of melanin. A naturally active tan accelerator, it stimulates your skin to tan better and faster in the sun. And if that has not sold you on it yet, Carrot seed oil also has a generous amount of SPF protection to protect your skin from harmful UV rays!
Naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, Coconut Oil can penetrate into the skin better than any other oil, which makes it an excellent moisturizer. It feeds your skin with moisture to prevent dehydration and protects your skin from the harmful UV rays, which are very drying and damaging to skin cells.
The result: Hydrated Healthy Skin with a Glowing Tan!

If you need any DIY work done, I could well (not) be your man
I was doing so well! The confidence was seeping through me like it does when you've made the right call on a fishing session and decent fish are queuing up to be caught. I had bought a new drill that actually worked, but to be perfectly honest I tend to use a drill mostly for loading reels up with line or changing lines around - but this time it was some real DIY stuff, and it was initially a success. For ages I had been wanting to put up some rod racks in our hallway, and thanks to a particularly helpful suggestion on my Facebook page (thank you!), I had ordered a couple of wooden coat racks that were to be turned upside down to support some lure rods. In due course when the hall is redecorated the racks would then be painted or whatever, but for now my first DIY job with the new drill went just about perfectly. Check below. I am the man! Rods go out of the hall and onto the racks on my car. Perfect, as below.
But then I got the bit between my teeth. Deep down within my manliness I know that I am not actually very talented at DIY stuff, but successfully hanging a couple of racks up had boosted my confidence no end. OK, so it wasn't particularly difficult to do, but damn it makes me feel like I have accomplished something mighty. The stuff that makes men real men was coursing through my veins and I was looking around the house for places that needed either another rod rack, or else some coat racks for the endless amount of waterproofs we have between us here (Storm is walked multiple times a day whatever the weather).
I started looking around my office and fancied that one of the walls could do with a small rod rack to keep a couple of rods out of the way, and then I found another couple of places out the back that needed coat racks in place of the dodgy looking hooks we inherited with the house. The new racks duly arrived via Ebay (check here if it's of any interest, great quality and fantastic service) and Saturday lunchtime was set as THE time for further DIY and of course drill usage. I was flying. Nothing could go wrong, and especially after I wielded that new drill like an expert and successfully hung the new coat racks up out the back. OK, so an old curtain rail thing that I was taking down fell on a picture and broke the glass, but what's a smashed pane of glass between a husband and wife?! Her faith in my DIY skills were wavering a little, but you can't stop a man and his new manly drill in his stride. Now for my office…….
Thank god our RCD board worked, put it that way! All was going great, or at least I thought it was. The walls in my office where I was going to hang the small rod rack are plasterboard, and whilst the masonry drill bit went through like a hot knife through butter (damn good eh?), I do remember a couple of bits of minor resistance. I've got a new drill though, and on through the resistance I drilled. Resistance? What resistance? Put the drill on hammer setting and push on through like a real man does. In go the raw plugs, up go the pair of rod racks, and I'm feeling seriously manly now. Hell, they're as good as level as well.
I then thought I'd plug the hoover into a wall socket and quickly tidy up the bits of stuff on the floor that are the result of some manly drilling, but the hoover's not turning on, indeed the socket ain't working full stop. I head for the RCD board and find the trip switch flipped, so I flip it back. The downstairs sockets bit flips back up just fine, but another switch thing trips back out and will not trip back in - is that the right terminology? As you may well be guessing, electrics and quite possibly DIY ain't exactly my things! Anyway, the hoover's working and I can call a local sparky to come and take a quick look at the RCD board as soon as he can. One of my girl's bedside lights isn't working but she can live with it until it's fixed.
Come Sunday morning and my wife calls downstairs to say that she could only get half a bath full of tepid water and was there a problem with the boiler? Not that I am aware of oh light of my life, or something like that, but I'll go check. So I do, and the boiler's not working. No more hot water. Four people using the same half bath of tepid water ain't exactly the best start to a Sunday morning, but so be it. Monday morning was a sink full of warmish water via boiling a kettle and sponge baths all round - not the ideal start to the week, and especially when there's a light frost outside, but once again, so be it. Dad's DIY skills are now being questioned by my wife and two girls. I had got hold of a local sparky and he's coming round first thing Monday morning after I have dropped the girls at school. Phew.
Andy could not have been nicer or more understanding. By a process of elimination he found the fault as per above, indeed he commended me on my skills at managing to drill almost perfectly through the centre of the water tank electrical supply cable! So that was the bit of resistance I had felt, and as Andy said, it was rather handy that our RCD board was working properly and tripped out before all that lovely electricity went right through the drill and then me. He also kindly advised me that I should not be drilling through plasterboard and instead should be using those special fixing things - I had actually found one in my amazing toolbox the other day and thrown it away because I didn't know what it was for, but I kept that quiet of course. Don't want to sound any more of a tit than I already do. A not insignificant amount of money later and Andy left the house, everything working fine again. I will now have to get Terry the decorator around to patch up the holes in my office walls where Andy had to go digging around to try and find the problem, so at the end of the day my DIY disaster has cost me a bit. Am I put off though? Am I hell. I am a man, and a man does DIY. A man might then have to call the experts in to rectify the odd DIY mistake, but that is what a man must do. We get on with it even if we don't quite know what we are doing, and then we claim stuff to our better halves like the cable was on the way out anyway and it was going to need replacing sooner or later. I think she believed me? I am feeling the urge to use my new drill again…….

A Complete Guide to The Working Holiday Visa for Australia in 2019
Moving to Australia may be easier than you think with the Working Holiday Visa!
As a young professional, in my mid-20s, long-term travel was out of the question. I was so busy trying to get the next promotion; I left no time to explore the world. Instead, I explored the world of different cubicles in Santa Monica. Sad but true. Womp Womp!
After a few years of working my butt off, I thought, "What's the point? I am young, and I have yet to do something amazing." I wanted adventure, I wanted to test the boundaries, but instead, I kept to the 9 to 5 grind.
When my boyfriend told me about the Working Holiday Visa in Australia, I knew deep in my gut; I had to live there. I overcame whatever BS was keeping me in Santa Monica and ventured out of my comfort zone.
The visa was an opportunity to move abroad and have work-life balance! A chance to feel excited about walking around every new corner! As a young professional that's precisely the motivation, I needed to break free from my cubicle.
Here's everything you need to know about applying for the Working Holiday Visa so you can live in Australia and break free from the walls of your office!
Why You Should Move to Australia For a Year
Hopefully, you're selling everything you own, packing your bags, and buying a one-way flight to "Oz." But if you're in need of more encouragement here's why you should apply for the 462 Visa right now!
We are groomed to believe that we need to get a job, work hard and eventually we will have time to travel.
It's BS!
Once I was in Australia, I realized that life is less about work, multi-tasking, or checking phones for new emails. In fact, life is about slowing down, focusing on one task at a time, finding a balance between work and life, being with friends and family, and smiling
It may be hard to believe, but once you start living and working in Oz, you'll understand what I mean.
Seriously, when will you be able to live in Australia? After your kids go to college?
Dear friends, you can only apply for the Australian Working Holiday visa between the ages of 18-30. After age 30, a company will need to sponsor you. In which case, you or the company will need to pay a pretty penny for a sponsorship. It's not impossible, but it can be a lot of work.
Waiting for all aspects of your life to line up is a waste of time. We must take advantage of the opportunities today!
If you need a change of scenery, let Australia be that change! Don't get a new job, or move to a new apartment, gain some perspective and move to the other side of the world!
Think of these scenarios: Hiking through beautiful untouched Tasmania; swimming with beautiful whale sharks off Coral Bay; taking a Helicopter ride through Darwin; and drinking wine in the Yarra Valley with amazing new friends.
If you can't imagine it, let Buzzfeed convince you.
There are millions of reasons why I told myself that I couldn't move to Australia for a year. My parents are getting older. I'll miss my family and friends. What about my career progression? What do I do with my stuff?
Life was going to happen regardless of my location. But as long as I kept in touch with my family and friends, I would be okay. I sold my stuff and stored my treasured items with family. My boss told me I always had a job if I came back.
What is the Working Holiday Visa?
The official name of the visa is the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462). It's a visa that allows young people from the US to holiday and work in Australia for a year.
What can you do on the WHV?
Stay in Australia for up to 12 months
Work in Australia for up to six months with each employer
Study for up to four months
Leave and re-enter Australia any number of times while the visa is valid.
working holiday visa 462 requirements
Before you apply you must meet some basic requirements:
You must be between the ages of 18-30
You must have a valid US Passport that is not expiring within the next year
You must have graduated High School or completed an equivalent qualification
Evidence of sufficient funds $5,000 AUD in your Bank or Credit Cards
No dependent children
Read the rest of the requirements border.gov.au
Not be in Australia! You must apply OUTSIDE of Australia. Or else it effs everything up.
Application fee $440
Passport photos x2 (45mm x 35mm)
If you're going to be working with kids, be a doctor, or you've spent more than six months in a third world country you will need a health check. Once it's complete, the doctor will send a note to Australia clearing you from major illnesses. Once the government receives the clearance, your application will process.
americans APPLYING FOR THE VISA
First you must create an account at IMMI.gov.au
Once logged in, create a new application for the 462 Work & Holiday Visa. The process takes anywhere between 30 - 40 minutes.
What Happens After I Apply for the whv?
As long as you meet the requirements and you are not a felon you are likely to be approved for the visa. Make sure to
Not apply for the visa while you are in Australia. Be in any country except Australia.
Do not visit Australia when your visa is processing.
When you apply, they will ask you if you want to receive your visa approval by email or post. Choose email!!
My boyfriend got his approval in 30 minutes, and I got mine in three hours. I've read stories of others getting their approval in two weeks and four weeks. So be patient.
You can enter Australia as soon as you get your approved visa. Woohoo! Don't forget these documents when you go through customs if asked.
Certified copies of your passport (notarized)
Certified copies of your birth certificate (notarized)
Two recent passport sized photos
Evidence of sufficient funds AUD $5000
Right now!!!! But the responsible answer is once you have enough money, and buy your flights.
If your budget is tight and you want to make money as soon as you land, go to Oz in July. Why?
July is the start of the Australian Tax Year
It's Winter in July, and there won't be as many people competing for jobs
It will be winter. If you go to Melbourne or Tasmania, it will be cold. The off months are an excellent time to get your foot in the door.
Working Holiday Visa Questions & Answers
What if I'm 31? For now, you have missed your opportunity. While there is talk of extending the age to 35, as of now any person over the age of 31 cannot apply for the visa. If you're close to turning 31, apply now (read below as to why). Don't wait. It's time to enjoy life and Koalas!
Can I use my Working Holiday Visa if I was approved when I was 30, but am now 31? Yes, you can still enter Australia on a Working Holiday Visa if you are 31. Just make sure to apply and get approved while you were still 30. You have one year from the approval date to enter Australia.
Do I need to have evidence of the AUD 5k when I apply? You don't need to have it when you apply, but they might ask you to provide proof of sufficient funds when you arrive. My boyfriend and I were not asked, and I know a lot of people who were not either. Luck of the draw.
Can I use a credit card to prove sufficient funds? Yes, you can use a credit card or a combination of credit card and bank.
Why do I need evidence of sufficient funds? Australia wants to know that you can afford to live/travel in the country, but also to get home.
Should I pay someone else to apply? NO! The process is super easy. Plus you can save your application, log off, and get back to it later. Double check if you answered all vital information correctly!
What is an electronic visa? When you get approved for a visa, Australia adds your visa number to your passport in their system. Now when you go through customs, and immigration scans your visa, your visa approval will appear. Easy peasy!
There you have it! A complete guide to the Working Holiday visa.
Who is packing their bags right now? If not, how soon will you be applying for the 462 Working Holiday Visa?

A sign of hope for Africa
· Anticipating the Pope's journey from 25 to 30 November ·
From 25 to 30 November Pope Francis will be in Africa, where he will visit Kenya, Uganda and the Central African Republic. The journey is highly anticipated by the Pontiff and by an entire world which, shocked by recent violent events, looks forward to gestures and words of reconciliation, peace and hope.
Francis' visit, writes Cardinal John Njue, Archbishop of Nairobi, Kenya, "will strengthen our resolve to fight terrorism and encourage the spirit of religious tolerance and cohesion across the globe". His visit, Cardinal Njue continues, "is a Godsend, as he comes to uplift Africa in hope and faith, to encourage and motivate the world that all is not lost".
An article by Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga of Kampala, Uganda, highlights the strong spiritual and pastoral element of the visit. He writes that in Uganda, the "Land of Martyrs", Christians are prepared to accept the challenge to which the Pontiff will call them: as Christ said: "You shall be my witnesses". Archbishop Dieudonné Nzapalainga C.S.Sp.of Bangui, Central African Republic, also offers moving words. Writing from the material and spiritual ruins of a city devastated by civil war, the prelate states: "When we received the news of the Pope's visit, it seemed like a dream to us. Choosing the Central African Republic as one of the destinations of his first visit to the continent, the Pope chose the small, he chose the weak; the poor who cry out and whom the Lord hears".

RALEIGH, North Carolina (Reuters) - Living victims of a state-sanctioned sterilization program in North Carolina would receive $50,000 in tax-free compensation if a bill approved on Tuesday by the state's House of Representatives becomes law.
North Carolina would become the first state to offer more than an apology for forced sterilizations and castrations of thousands of citizens if the state Senate also passes the compensation bill and the governor signs it.
Democratic Governor Beverly Perdue has included money in her proposed budget to fund the payments.
"This is the least we can do," said Democratic state Representative Paul Luebke during more than an hour of debate that ended with the measure passing 86-31. "We need to recognize that our state was one of the worst, if not the worst, in the promulgation and maintenance of this program."
Nearly 7,600 people, mostly women, were sterilized from 1929 to 1974 under the state's Eugenics Board program aimed at improving society by culling people deemed unfit to reproduce. These included the mentally handicapped, insane and those convicted of crimes. Many of the victims were poor, undereducated and institutionalized.
More than 30 U.S. states had eugenics programs in the early 20th century, and more than 60,000 people underwent documented sterilization procedures nationwide, according to the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation.
Most of those programs ended after World War Two. But the peak years of North Carolina's program were from 1946 to 1968, leaving the state with more living victims as a result. To date, the state has verified more than 100 surviving victims.
"Whoever they are, they deserve compensation," said Republican Representative Paul Stam, the House majority leader. "We owe it to them, not in a legal sense, but in a moral sense. It was a sad program that lasted for several decades and had its genesis in a philosophy that is alien to the American spirit."
The eugenics compensation bill had the support of the House leadership, but its chances in the state Senate are less clear. It could become part of budget negotiations between the two chambers.
"I'm hopeful the Senate will put it on the calendar, and it will be warmly received," said Senator Floyd McKissick, a Democrat who sponsored the companion legislation in that chamber.
Earlier this year, a state eugenics compensation task force appointed by Perdue recommended awarding $50,000 to each of the estimated 1,500 to 2,000 living victims of the sterilization program, along with a package of mental health services.
The task force said that, while no amount of restitution could compensate someone for denying them the ability to have children, the awards would send a clear message that North Carolina took responsibility for its mistakes and would not tolerate trampling on basic human rights.
The legislation passed on Tuesday creates a state Office of Justice for Sterilization Victims to assist in determining compensation eligibility and to attempt to contact victims.
