The First Steps in Selling Your Home
Selling Your House?
With careful planning and the right lineup of experts on your side, you can progress confidently through the steps of selling your house, in any market. Our local experts are ready to guide you through the process in a way that honors your timeframe and financial goals. Read on for a basic roadmap of what you can expect when making this important transition. Enjoy the journey!
Best Time to Market your Property
When is the right time to market your property? With one of life's most important financial decisions in the balance, would-be sellers should take into account all of the facts before a "for sale" sign goes up. The good news is, you don't have to go it alone. Taking a hard look at your lifestyle, budget, timing and financial goals is just the beginning. Enlisting a Realty Executives agent early on in the process gives you access to the latest market activity in your neighborhood, including recent comparable sales, average days on the market and even how the season can influence sales trends. Our agents can provide you with all the market data you need so you can make a well-informed decision about selling.
How to choose a Real Estate Agent and Brokerage
Selecting the right agent to represent you as a home seller can spell the difference between a profitable, smooth real estate experience and a bumpy ride. You have many options and may decide to interview several agents before you make a decision. Knowing what to look for will help you make the best choice. A local, well-networked expert with experience selling in your neighborhood or niche area will not only understand your property's best selling points, but that of the surrounding community as well. Your prospective agent's past client testimonials, marketing plan and resume coupled with a thorough marketing analysis of your property are key points to consider.
Price It Right
Did you know how you price your property often shapes a potential homebuyer's first impression just as much as staging and merchandising? This makes it even more important that you get the price right from the day the house is listed for sale in order to attract the most attention and create excitement about your listing in a competitive market. And while determining the best list price depends primarily on what the market will bear, your agent will help you weigh current market conditions against your financial goals and desired timeline.
Put Your Best Foot Forward
Today more than 90% of buyers begin their search for their next home online. With instant mobile access to so many properties, staging your property to sell will help buyers cut through the clutter and seek out an in-person viewing or open house. A few small changes, the right lighting and a simple decluttering is often all it takes to maximize your property's best features and make listing photos stand out from the rest. Your agent can help you make objective changes that will show your property at it's best, both online and during live showings.
Getting the Word Out
Attracting qualified home buyers quickly will be among your agent's top goals once the property is ready to hit the market. An agent with a strong local network will begin to get the word out to other neighborhood agents prior to the official list date, and will be ready to magnify exposure online and through email, print and digital advertising channels across multiple platforms to achieve maximum exposure and reach.
Bring in the Bids
Helping you to accurately evaluate every offer that comes in and leading negotiations with the buyer's agent are some of the most valuable services your real estate agent will provide. Besides the buyer's offered sales price, your agent can help you understand other financial information and requests included in the contract. If you receive multiple offers, your agent can help you to determine which contract presents the strongest case to get you to the closing table in the desired timeframe, with the least amount of difficulty.
Negotiation Table
Buyers and sellers often meet at the negotiation table. Your agent can push for the best price and terms if you receive an offer that doesn't meet expectations and do their best to help you come to an agreement. Once an agreement is reached, it's onto the escrow period!
The Home Stretch
Once you've made it past the negotiation table into escrow, you'll be introduced to a new team of experts; title and escrow representatives who, together with your agent, the buyer's agent and in most cases the buyer's loan officer, will ensure a smooth title transfer. Your agent will help to keep you on track with any additional steps needed, such as lining up inspections and ordering final appraisals as required. You can expect frequent communication during the escrow period along with a clear cut schedule of events.
Oh Happy Day
Congratulations! With your closing day right around the corner, your agent will continue to provide resources, information and referrals to connect you with the right team to seal the deal. Final closing documents will be prepared and your agent will keep you informed so you'll be well prepared for the final walk through, moving day, closing day and setting your sights on your next home!

For intrepid adventurers, famous explorers & social travelers.
Adventures & Explorations of Pot-Distilled Brandy from Around The World.
New World Brandy is Old School.
The USA and South Africa share a common brandy thread as Dutch colonies.
The first recorded distillation of American Brandy, by William Hendricks on Staten Island within the New Netherlands colony, was in 1640. The first distillation of South African Brandy was in 1672, by the assistant cook on board a Dutch ship, De Pijl, lying at anchor in Table Bay off Cape Town.
Our Bi-Continental Brandy is an exploration of the symmetry of blending exquisite, elegant South African Brandy, with fruit-forward, feisty, rambunctious American Brandy.
The pot-distilled spirits have much in common; in particular the preponderance of Colombard and Chenin Blanc grape varietals, and that both were matured, pre-marrying, in Kentucky Bourbon barrels.
Non-chill filtered. Kentucky Bourbon barrels. No added boisé or caramel color
PROOF: 108 proof. 54% Alcohol By Volume. 750ml

This column by David Sherfinski was published December 27, 2017 by the Washington Times.
Democrats for years have said Arizona was about to tip in their direction, and those hopes grew with President Trump in office—-but the early evidence suggests they are struggling to grow.
The latest numbers from the state's voting rolls show that while neither party is doing particularly well in winning over voters, Democrats have lagged behind, even as both parties gear up for a marquee U.S. Senate race and several crucial House contests next year.
The same trend is playing out in Florida, Pennsylvania and other battleground states where Democrats should have been growing their numbers in the age of Mr. Trump, but instead are stumbling.
They have lost 12,000 registered Democratic voters in Arizona since the presidential election, bringing the number down to 1.2 million. Republicans have lost just 1,000 voters and stand at nearly 1.4 million in the state.
Enrique Gutierrez, a spokesman for the state Democratic Party, chalked up the numbers to a cyclical trend and predicted support would pick up as the midterm elections approach.
"Democrats are excited," Mr. Gutierrez said. "I don't know if we'll necessarily overtake Republicans in terms of voter registration, but I think we'll definitely close that gap, and we'll try our hardest to appeal to independent voters."
Arizona is not alone.
In Pennsylvania, Democrats held a registration edge of about 800,000 over Republicans—-4 million to 3.2 million—-as of Dec. 18. But the number of registered Democrats is down 4.5 percent, while Republicans have lost 2.4 percent.
In Florida, Democrats hold a registration edge, but their ranks also have also dropped at a faster rate.
As of Oct. 31, the number of registered Florida Democrats dropped 1.9 percent from last year to about 4.8 million. The number of registered Republican voters fell 0.6 percent, to about 4.6 million.
Nevada Republicans, meanwhile, have shaved Democrats' edge from 119,000 voters in October 2016 to about 98,000 as of Dec. 1.
Former Rep. Thomas M. Davis III, Virginia Republican, said many registered Democrats are transient in nature and the changes might not necessarily be subtractions but shifts elsewhere.
Democrats did muster significant get-out-the-vote efforts in Alabama and Virginia, where they won decisive victories in statewide races in recent months, as well as in a handful of special congressional elections where they came up short by relatively narrow margins.
"So where there's been an election to rally around, Democrats have probably done better," Mr. Davis said.
Although it helps to have a bigger pool of voters, raw registration numbers might not necessarily be Democrats' biggest issue heading into the election year, said Nathan Gonzales, editor and publisher of Inside Elections, a political newsletter.
"One of the challenges Democrats have had isn't that there haven't been enough Democratic voters—-it's that Democratic voters aren't turning out in higher numbers in a midterm election," he said. "I don't think a drop in voter registrations spells the end of Democratic chances in 2018."
Voters are also continuing a long-term trend away from the two major parties.
Democrats in North Carolina lost 3,829 registered voters from February to September. Republicans gained 9,241 and Libertarians gained 1,468, but unaffiliated voters grew by 47,099 registered voters, according to a report from the Civitas Institute, a right-leaning think tank in the state.
In Nevada, Libertarians gained about 700 voters compared with last year, even as thousands of Democrats and Republicans dropped off the rolls.
Bill Redpath, a former national chairman of the Libertarian Party, said the numbers can be tough to gauge because registrars in many states have been scrubbing their rolls as part of routine postelection maintenance.
"The increase during the second half of the year is quite mild, but it might be good that there's an increase overall, given voter purging going on," Mr. Redpath said.
"I think overall, there continues to be interest in a third alternative in the United States," he said. "If things get bad enough, I suppose that people do something strategic like, 'Oh, no matter what, we've got to get rid of Trump,' or something like that, so I don't know. It's very difficult for me to gauge that."

Some protesters hold banners that read: "We demand the purging of the judiciary and interior ministry," while others chant: "Don't cry, Khaled's mum, Khaled's killer will not live."
Earlier on Saturday, the Alexandria Criminal Court adjourned the retrial of the low-ranking policemen accused of killing Khaled Said to 6 July and ordered their release.
The court explains they must release them according to Article 143 of law 145, which sets a detention cap of 18 months.
"The real victory and success of the revolution is in retribution for Khaled Said, the icon of the revolution," Mahmoud El-Khateeb, leading member of April 6 youth movement in Alexandria told Al-Ahram Arabic news website, asserting that they will not be satisfied with any other punishment except the death penalty.
More events and protests will take place in Alexandria, Egypt's second-largest city, in the coming week to commemorate the anniversary of Said's death, 6 June says El-Khateeb.
The retrial, which began on Saturday, comes after the two defendants, Mahmoud Salah Mahmoud and Awad Ismail Soliman filed an appeal in December, arguing particular witnesses were 'dealt with lightly,' according to Reuters. They are asking to repeal their seven-year jail sentences given by the Alexandria Criminal Court on 26 October.
The policemen were found guilty of illegal imprisonment and torture and violence. The family and supporters of the late 28-year-old Said were shocked at what they considered a light sentence.
According to Al-Ahram Arabic news website, families of the defendants attempted to attack Said's mother in the courtroom while the judges' were deliberating the appeal.
Khaled Said's death caused a public outcry after photos of his battered face, allegedly at the hands of policemen from a notorious precinct, sent shockwaves throughout the internet. A call was sent out to protest in Tahrir Square on Cairo on National Police Day, on 25 January, 2011 via a Facebook page dedicated to his memory "We are all Khaled Said." This protest spiralled into a revolution, which succeeded in ousting former president Mubarak and end his 30-year rule.

All manuscripts submitted to USP journals undergo a rigorous peer review process, in which most of our peer reviews are single blind (unless stated otherwise).
All submitted manuscript are firstly handled by our managing editor, who will check the manuscript for plagiarism, in which rejection of the manuscript can take place at this stage by the managing editor if plagiarism occurs in the manuscript.
After the plagiarism check is completed and results are deemed satisfactory, the managing editor will pass the manuscript to the Editor-in-Chief who will undertake the peer review process, or at times pass the task to one of the Associate Editor.
A minimum of 2 reviewers will be selected from the pool of reviewers available according to their expertise and suitability to the subject matter of the manuscript. Reviewers will have to give their comments and recommendations (Accept, Major Revisions, Reject) to the Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editor for them to make a final decision on the paper, and their comments will help the authors improve their papers.
Upon recommendations by the reviewers, the Editor-in-Chief or the Associate Editor can make a final decision on the paper and inform the author on their decision, adding comments to the Authors to make improvements in their research or paper.
Typically there are 3 main decisions in the peer review process – Accept, Major Revisions or Reject. If the Editor-in-Chief accepts the paper, it could be split into Minor revisions (author to make minor amendments to the paper) or No revisions (no amendments required by author), after which the paper can be sent to the Editing stage.
If the decision is a Major Revision, the authors are required to make the changes as suggested in the comments accordingly and the paper will be resubmitted for a second (or third) round of review. If the decision is to Reject the manuscript, the author will be notified and the rejected manuscript will be archived and the peer review process ends.
An accepted paper will be sent for Copy Editing, Layout Editing and Proofreading before publication of the paper. Correspondence between the authors and USP will be required here in order to improve the language and/or look of the manuscript. After the Editing stage is completed, authors are required to check the PDF file of the final version before the article is published.

Article Processing Charge (APC)
Like most other gold open-access journals, USP journals maintains our high quality of service through an 'author-pay' model.

As such, manuscripts that are accepted for publication following peer review may incur an article processing charge (APC). Payment of this charge allows Universe Scientific Publishing to offset peer review management, journal production and online hosting and archiving. In addition, overall publication charges also will be used to provide fee waivers for authors from lesser developed countries (see below).
Universe Scientific Publishing is committed to keeping its open access publication charges at a minimum level. There are no hidden costs at our journals. There is no additional charge for colour figures. Published articles appear electronically and are freely available from our website. Authors may also use their published articles for any non-commercial use on their personal or non-commercial institution's website.
The exact value of article processing charges for each journal is given in the table below. The APC covers editorial services and production of an article. Upon acceptance for publication a processing fee will be payable. Owing to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates fees may occasionally be subject to change without notice.

text: "OWING to the fact that a majority of reviewers consider The Glory of the Shia World to be the work of a Persian, whereas it has been written entirely by myself, it seems best to explain the precise position. I would state frankly that my ambition has been to write a second Haji Baba, which would serve as a true picture of Persia some ten years ago, before constitutional reform appeared on the horizon, just as Morier in his immortal work depicted it in the reign of Fath Ali Shah. The events take place in parts of Persia and Baluchistan with which I am familiar, and, throughout, I narrate what I have actually seen or heard; though naturally the names and circumstances have been altered."

Don't be deceived by what happens on Social Media – Joke Silva
Nollywood's veteran actress and wife to Olu Jacobs, Joke Silva, took to her Social Media page to share some inspiring words, alongside pictures to her fans.
She shared the photo with a word of advice for the new generation of entertainers saying, 'don't be deceived by what goes on on social media. Obviously there is something else such actors are doing, perhaps other businesses to shore. up their income'.
She added that, 'the reality is that on the earning capacity of an actor in Nigeria, you cannot have that sort of lifestyle in this economy. Yes part of our industry is to have glamour but also the other part is to have reality".

Transformation in Tanzania
As our team travels from village to village, a common theme we hear is that we are making history. The village leaders say that the problem of disease and lack of clean water are now history in their villages. It is a problem of the past that the villagers are glad to leave behind.
With the deep-capped water well providing easy access to safe water, these villages have a new hope for the future. It is nearly impossible for a community to move forward and develop without water. They are stuck in the cycle of poverty and disease, unable to free themselves. Clean water changes everything. A new story begins in these three villages, one of hope and life.
The farming village of Kimawe in Southern Tanzania is an example of a village changed by safe water.
Surrounded by hills and entering its dry season, the country was in great need of water.
The villagers were travelling upwards of three hours, across the farmland and over hills to find a single bucket of water that isn't even clean.
In a desperate attempt, the village gathered the young people and tried to dig to find water. They tried many times but did not succeed.
When we came to Kimawe and provided a well in the center of their village, it gave them much more than just clean water; it gave them more time to spend with their families to farm and get an education.
The families of this village benefited greatly from the well because the women are now able to stay home, care for their families and provide meals for their children so they can go to school.
They were amazed that the people in Canada would think of them in Southern Tanzania and were so grateful for this gift.
Water is also a scarce commodity in the village of Nandili.
Before we provided a well in this village, the people had to travel 18 km to find clean water. Women would spend most of their day travelling to collect water on the back of bicycles.
Now that women are able to stay home and care for their families, the children are able to have a meal and go to school with clean uniforms. They spend less time fetching water and more time studying. The well is next to the primary school where the children can fill their jugs as they walk to class.
The village also has plans to use the water to make bricks for new school buildings. Most of the classes meet outside, which means they cannot study during the rainy season.
Brick making is a significant source of income in Southern Tanzania because the soil is strong. The process of making bricks involves creating a pit of mud, packing the wet soil into forms to make rectangular shapes and then baking them over a fire. The challenging thing about this task is that it requires a lot of water which is difficult for most villages to collect.
Chilaile in Southern Tanzania is no exception. Water was scarce and almost non-existent in the dry season, but now that we provided a borehole well, this village has been transformed too.
The water point is surrounded by bricks laying out to dry.
The village is planning on using them to build a new school building. Not only has the well improved the local economy, it has also had a huge impact the health of the village. They used to suffer from a lot of waterborne diseases such as dysentery and cholera, but now that they are drinking safe water, this has greatly decreased.
Kimawe, Nandili and Chilaile are just three examples of how safe water transformed their communities.
But just as these three have received this gift, there are three more still in need of it.
Would you help transform another village? Another person's life?

If you were previously registered to vote in a different state than you're currently registered in, please
Also, please bother to actually vote on election day. Yes, I understand perfectly if you hate both presidential candidates, but I do not accept that as a reason to not vote. There are other items on the ballot than just the presidential race. There are also other candidates you can vote for than the two main ones, and if every eligible voter who doesn't bother to vote showed up at the polls and voted for third-party candidates, the two major parties would be forced to take the third parties a whole lot more seriously. Plus, think of how hard people have fought to earn women and African-Americans the right to vote, and think of how many people at this moment in the 21st century have had their right to vote taken away due to felony conviction and the bright idea of Republicans to use their massively racially discriminatory law enforcement system as an excuse to also withhold the voting rights of huge percentages of poor and/or nonwhite people. If you have similar views to what those groups are likely to have, then by voting yourself, you can do a small part to help get their voices heard.
Speaking of people who's voting rights are being withheld, Electoral-Vote.com reported yesterday that soldiers in Iraq are now going to find it harder to register to vote than before:
In voting news, the Pentagon has restricted access to the website overseas voters, both military and civilian, can use for registering to vote, citing attempts to hack it. The story was first reported by the International Herald Tribune. Is the Pentagon, with its billions of dollars, incapable of building a simple website that is difficult to break into? And is the answer to attempted break-ins to disenfranchise overseas voters, including the servicemen and women who are defending this country with their lives? Is this how we support the troops? By taking away their right to vote?Overseas voters can in fact still print voter registration forms from other Internet websites such as overseasvote2004.com and mail them in; they just can't register to vote online without needing snail mail service anymore. And since the deadlines are approaching fast, they need to really hurry up about it.
Microsoft and other companies are attacked all the time, and their reaction is to put up strong defenses. Surely the Pentagon is capable of doing what the computer industry does every day?
I recently talked to a knowledgeable source who has been in Iraq for a long time and his impression is that the reservists and national guardsmen there are quite unhappy, especially about having their tours of duty extended. It is not unthinkable this unhappiness might be expressed if they were allowed to vote.
Anyway. I would also like to use this entry to complain about the choices we have available. Not just the two biggest political parties, either. Take a look at the following graphic, which shows all of the people running for president of the United States who will actually be listed on the ballot of any state.
Who can tell me what demographic group is conspicuously missing?
And did you notice it before I asked?
There are 17 people running for president of the United States who will actually be listed on anyone's ballot. All seventeen of them possess penises. There is not any person anywhere in the United States who will have the option on November 2, 2004, to vote for a woman for president as a non-write-in candidate.
If a space alien who knew nothing else about planet Earth were to intercept information about the U.S. presidential candidates, the alien would never know that women even even existed at all unless they intercepted something else that informed them. At that point, I suppose the alien would conclude that women probably represent less than 6% of the U.S. population, since if women were any more common than that you'd certainly expect that a few of them would be running for president.
For the record, female presidential candidates certainly have been listed on the ballot in past U.S. elections. The first presidential candidate I ever voted for was a woman: Marsha Feinland of the Peace & Freedom Party in 1996. And it isn't as though I object to the Peace & Freedom Party nominating Leonard Peltier this year instead of a woman. I like Leonard Peltier. I support his candidacy. I want him on the ballot. But there were 16 political parties plus one independent campaign who could have put women presidential candidates on the ballot this year, and I object to the fact that none of them did.
It might even bother me less if the majority of these parties were right-wing lunatic parties. I'm pretty used to the fact that right-wing lunatic parties don't like women to be president. But the majority of these parties are actually left-wing parties. In fact, you can recognize almost perfectly which parties are left-wing by checking which parties have women as vice-presidential candidates. The only fairly clear exceptions are that Ralph Nader, Bill Van Auken, and (sort of?) John Kerry are left-wing presidential candidates with male vice presidential candidates. Additional "possible" exceptions are Stanford "Andy" Andress, who is running an independent campaign in Colorado with his wife as his vice presidential candidate and has apparently said nothing whatsoever about what his political beliefs are other than that he supposedly stands for "honesty" (but he must not stand for "forthrightness" or he'd be a lot more specific than that), and Charles Jay of the Personal Choice Party has a woman vice presidential candidate and their party is a libertarian party that supports same-sex marriage but opposes affirmative action, so depending on how you personally feel about such things, you may or may not consider them to be "left wing" on feminist issues. (They do seem to be less right-wing than the capital-letters Libertarian Party, anyway.)
But there are lots of left-wing parties here:
- Socialist Party USA? They nominated a presidential candidate who's not only male, but is personally opposed to abortion rights, though like Kerry he says he would support the laws for them anyway. Naturally they had to nominate a female vice presidential candidate to keep from totally alienating female party members.
- Socialist Workers Party? They certainly can't be said to care about actually winning - they nominated a ticket that's completely ineligible to hold office, because their male presidential nominee was not born in the U.S. and their female vice presidential nominee is under 35 and therefore below the minimum age requirement. As a result, they had to nominate a backup ticket in order to be listed on the ballot in the states that refused to list the names of people who aren't actually eligible to hold the offices they're running for. So they nominated another male presidential candidate with another female vice-presidential running mate. Incidentally, this party makes a practice of regularly nominating candidates who are ineligible to hold the offices for which they are running, because they say it helps reach out to disenfranchised demographic groups and bring them to the polls so they'll vote on other issues too. Apparently they've failed to notice how disenfranchised women are.
- Green Party? Male presidential candidate, female vice presidential candidate.
- Workers World Party? Male presidential candidate, female vice presidential candidate. (Though at least this party is the only one that nominated a black man as a non-substitute presidential candidate this year - James Harris is the Socialist Workers Party's backup presidential candidate running only in the states where the first-choice candidate was ineligible to get on the ballot.)
- Christian Freedom Party? Yeah, I know you probably wouldn't think it from their name, but this party claims to be a far-left party that's fed up with how conservative the Democrats are. Apparently it's just the one left-wing concept of "separation of church and state" that they have a bit of trouble quite grasping. Anyway: male presidential candidate, female vice presidential candidate.
- Socialist Equality Party? Male presidential and vice presidential candidates.
Okay, enough about that. Now about this test. Here are my results.
Now, I have some questions.
1. Come on now, is Hillary Clinton really that close to my politics?
2. How can it be that Hillary Clinton, a senator, is deemed important enough to be included in the illustration, while her husband, a former president, is not? And don't tell me it's because he's no longer president - Ronald Reagan is no longer president either, but they included him. And not Nancy Reagan. I think the reason they included her is that if they omitted her it would have been all the more obvious that politics does not contain any women.
3. Politics does contain nonwhite people, but only if they are either from other countries or, in the case of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., being included specifically just to hide the fact that American politics does not contain any nonwhite people. And speaking of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: look, I know he had to be careful not to come across as a Commie, but to go so far in the non-Commie direction as to be an economic centrist really makes you kind of pointless as a civil rights leader for a group of people who are, after all, disenfranchised because the profits reaped from their ancestors' lifelong hard labor was inherited not by them but by the white descendants (such as me) of the people who "owned" their ancestors. I didn't think he went that far to the center. Did he?
4. How funny is it that George W. Bush is in a more conservative quadrant overall than Osama bin Laden?
5. [added to the list at a little prompting from leex] Shouldn't anarchism extend down and border with socialism somewhere? And did the Unabomber even call himself an anarchist?

You Oughta Be In Pictures: Invading Nirvana's Guide to Finding Gold in Them Thar Hollywood Hills
In Invading Nirvana, Kevin Theis documents his adventures over three months in the fantasy realm of Hollywood, where, nearly a century after the sagebrush desert north of Los Angeles became the center of the newfangled "moving pictures," literally thousands of pilgrims converge daily to seek their fortunes on the screens of big films and tiny televisions.
His three goals are to secure big-bucks artistic employment enabling him to give up his day job, assess his prospects for a career in standup comedy and finish writing his play. At the end of his allotted time, what he has accomplished is a role in a student-generated film, the discovery of non-movie artistic employment enabling him to give up his day job—oh, and this book.
What distinguishes Theis' reconnaissance report from the usual portraits of the city dating back to the Spanish conquistadors is its rejection of the stereotypal narratives intent on maintaining the myth of Southern California as the American Eden and La-La-Land as Babylon Incarnate. Our author is no cardboard suitcase-toting bumpkin stepping off the bus, after all, but a seasoned trouper arriving armed with an extensive dossier of acting, directing and voiceover credits. This backstory also endows him with friends and colleagues to aid him in his mission within the network of Chicago expats settled along the West Coast. Winters in SoCal being a gentle season of moderate temperatures and low precipitation, even the weather favors wilderness expeditions.
Our author's letters-to-home voice is evident in his "translations" for Chicago readers—the proximity of his temporary quarters in Tarzana to metropolitan Los Angeles is described as equivalent to that of Schaumburg, and the drive therefrom to Costa Mesa's South Coast Repertory Theater as "O'Hare airport to South Bend, Indiana." Indeed, the top priority in his scouting mission is the instruction of other artists who may follow in his steps through the often perplexing array of choices confronting newcomers to our country's largest entertainment market. He offers tips on acquiring agents (you will need more than one), listing film credits (as opposed to theater credits) on resumes, and avoiding exploitive—sometimes outright fraudulent—scams aimed at the desperate and dazzled.
His observations are not restricted to those of "the trade," however, but cover a wide range of interests encompassing visits to tourist attractions like Griffith Observatory and the Walk of Fame, along with names of restaurants where friends feed him. The blogspeak origins of his first-person accounts are unmistakable, but Theis' midwestern modesty prohibits self-indulgent editorializing. Even during an investigative foray into the Church of Scientology (which he clearly loathes), his appraisal, while candid, strives to remain fair and unprejudiced.
Whether you're a professional actor, a vacationing film buff, or just wonder whatever happened to those storefront-circuit Huckleberry Finns who struck out for "the territories," Invading Nirvana delivers valuable information for planning your excursion, savvy advice on circumventing traps for snaring unwary greenhorns and, always, encouraging words for the adventurous.

Some FUD on STOX
A warning post saying Stox (STX) reported to have performed an exit cam appeared on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/9w2w4n/stox_stx_reported_to_have_performed_an_exit_scam/
Facts mentioned:
1. CEO Yossi Peretz has resigned.
2. Commologic and Invest.com (not to be mistaken for the financial news site Investing.com), whom were once presented as key factors in Stox's development and market share positioning, have already left the project.
Stox respond: it was decided to terminate our contract with our Israel-based service provider 'Commologic', which had been providing services and moving to a new global structure. In this regard, we have moved development and operations to Europe.
As for Amazix community managers, Stox terminated the contract with AmaZix in October because the parties could not reach agreement on the commercial terms.
3. 12 days after the crowdsale 7,400,000 Stox were withdrawn from the trustee contract back to the wallet - https://etherscan.io/address/0xaf773cb251d81178a611ba74e279bbaddce560c2 through the revoke function as shown in the transaction hash: - https://etherscan.io/tx/0x4f79834acea65c45e5c64bca96dadbe7961d2e23dc77868d1ebc9cecd90ab3e3
This transaction is equivalent to 12.5% of total Stox (amount given to Invest.com). This is done again with 5,920,000 Stox which is equivalent to 10% of total Stox (the amount given to the Stox team). Transaction Hash -
Stox respond: The revoke function was used right after the ICO in order to fix vested amounts in invest.com's and Stox's team wallets. From time to time the revoke function is used to adjust vesting terms according to new or ended partnerships.
4. Moshe Hogeg's, STOX advisor, wallet showing STOX tokens being dumped on Bancor - https://etherscan.io/txs?a=0xF8462f886d7AabE4507Ad3776C9b2761F1eC1066
Stox respond: These are private transactions conducted by Moshe Hogeg on the secondary markets. These transactions are not related to his involvement in the company at all and were concluded independently.
A few more personal observations:
5. Stox has now around 26 active daily users according to State of the Dapps (current rank #85)
6. Almost all collected Ether was withdrawn shortly after crowdsale:

2 John, 3 John; Jude
Skip Heitzig
|2 John 1 (NKJV™)
|THE ELDER, To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth,
|because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever:
|Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
|I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.
|And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.
|This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
|For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
|Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
|Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
|If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;
|for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
|Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
|The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.
|3 John 1 (NKJV™)
|THE ELDER, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth:
|Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
|For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.
|I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
|Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers,
|who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well,
|because they went forth for His name's sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
|We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.
|I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.
|Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.
|Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.
|Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.
|I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;
|but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
|Jude 1 (NKJV™)
|Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
|Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
|Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
|For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
|But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
|And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;
|as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
|Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.
|Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
|But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.
|Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
|These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;
|raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
|Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,
|"to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."
|These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.
|But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
|how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.
|These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
|But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
|keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
|And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
|but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
|Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
|To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

The S&P 500 SPDR (SPY) and the Russell 2000 iShares (IWM) both broke below their September lows with IWM leading the way lower. QQQ is still holding up the best because it hit a 52-week high the week before and remains above the September low. Looking at SPY first, the ETF fell around 5% from high to low over the last eleven weeks. This modest decline comes after a 22% advance from the February lows and a 10% advance from the late June low. Even though the inability to hold the breakout is negative, I still view this as a correction within a bigger uptrend. The blue trend lines mark a possible falling channel to define this correction and I am marking resistance at 215.50.
The bottom window shows IWM advancing around 35% from the February low and 17% from the June low. The ETF then fell around 9% over the last six weeks. IWM is down the most of the big three, but it was also up the most from its February low. The bigger they surge, the harder they correct. It is possible that a falling wedge is taking shape on the price chart. Chartists can watch the upper trend line for the first sign that this correction is ending. A weekly close above 122 would break this trend line.
Thanks for tuning in and have a good weekend!

As more and more companies have experienced data breaches in recent years, the market for cyber insurance has grown exponentially. However, unlike other forms of insurance, cyber insurance is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Most cyber policies are offered a la carte, allowing policyholders to negotiate terms and conditions and purchase the coverage that fits their needs.
The level of coverage your business needs can vary depending on your range of exposure, and it's important to work with a broker who can tailor a policy to match your business' requirements.
The following are items to keep in mind when building the ideal coverage:
- Limits and sublimits
- Retroactive coverage
- Exclusions
- Panel provisions
- Consent provisions
- Vendor acts and omissions
Are You Adequately Covered?
Cyber insurance is a relatively new form of coverage - one that will continue to evolve alongside emerging cyber threats. As such, cyber insurance requires organizations to be proactive in assessing their risks and ensuring that their insurance coverages are in line with their specific business practices and exposures.
For more information on the items discussed above and how they may impact your policy, contact your insurance broker today.

Congressman Rush Opens "Homeownership in Ten Weeks"
Chicago, IL ---- Congressman Bobby L. Rush (D-IL.) and the First Congressional District Housing Task Force will conduct, "Ten Weeks To Homeownership" Conference on Saturday, April 19, 2003, from 10:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M., at the Bronzeville Military Academy, 3519 South Giles (King Drive & 35th Street), Chicago.
The Conference targets those persons who are currently paying rents comparable to mortgages. Those that qualify will be moved into the 10-week homeownership course.
"Today's mortgage rates are at their lowest in over 40 years," said Congressman Bobby L. Rush. "As a result, today's mortgage payments can be less than what many southside residents currently pay in rent," Rush stated. "A $90,000 home is approximately $522.00 a month. This is solid financial planning."
ROE CDC is the local organization responsible for coordinating the Conference.
The Conference is open to credentialed media. For photos, press kit and video/audio, please call 773/778.2371.

Caring for newborn skin
Skin care of the newborn focuses on two main areas, bathing considerations and care of the umbilical cord.
Remember, the newborn has immature thermoregulation. For this reason, only perform the first bath once their temperature is stable. The duration of this bath should not exceed 10 minutes (Kain & Mannix, 2018). If possible, always bathe the baby in a warm and draught free environment. The baby does not require bathing every day, although in some cultures, daily bathing may be preferred (Patane, 2018; Kain & Mannix, 2018).
It's recommended to bathe newborns by immersing their body up to the upper chest/neck in water, rather than sponging or using washcloths (Kain & Mannix, 2018). Of course, the newborn's head and face is kept above the water level, by resting on the caregiver's forearm.
Washing of the newborn's head and hair can actually be performed by holding the swaddled baby over the edge of the bath and gently washing and rinsing with water. This technique has the advantage of keeping the rest of the baby warm while their head and hair are washed. See the images below. ©Shutterstock
For preterm babies less than 32 weeks gestation, warm, gentle bathing with a damp cloth is recommended. For neonates in the intensive care unit, a swaddled immersion tub bath is used. In this, the neonate is swaddled and each limb is lowered into the tub, before being washed, dried and re-swaddled. This minimises physiological stress (Kain & Mannix, 2018).
In the hospital setting, all bathing equipment must be disinfected to prevent the spread of hospital acquired infections. Health professionals should use standard precautions such as wearing disposable gloves (Kain & Mannix, 2018). In the home environment, parents must take care to keep all bathing equipment clean and dry in between use.
Bathing products with fragrance and strong surfactants can be irritating to the newborn's skin (Blume-Peytavi, Hauser, Stamatas, Pathirana & Garcia Bartels, 2012). Any bathing products used should have a neutral or mildly acidic pH (between the pH range of 6.1-6.5) in order to minimise any irritation to the delicate newborn skin (Kain & Mannix, 2018).
Caring for newborn skin
When it comes to caring for the skin of a newborn, less is more! Babies don't have a need for a complicated skin care regimen. Bathing a newborn should be kept to a minimum to avoid stripping the skin of its protective natural oils. The baby's skin easily absorbs anything applied to it, so if you must use anything topical, fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic products are best.
Cord care
Umbilical cord care involves keeping the remnant stump clean and dry. If it is kept dry, uncovered and not exposed to trauma, it will heal within 12-15 days (Patane, 2018; Kain & Mannix, 2018). As mentioned earlier in the course, the use of alcohol is not necessary.
An important note on newborn skincare for nurses
Strategies to protect the skin should be used and regular assessments must be performed to detect risks and early signs of skin breakdown. This will help to prevent injury to the vulnerable newborn's skin.
Although not covered in this course, it is essential for nurses to be aware of the potential for injury to the newborn skin due to the use of identification bands, tapes, ties, oxygen delivery devices, intravenous cannulae, lines, connectors and hubs, tubes (oro or nasogastric and endotracheal or nasotracheal), drains, probes, leads and monitoring equipment (Patane, 2018; Kain & Mannix, 2018).

Black Caps opening batsman Martin Guptill says there's no particular reason for his recent run of form - other than that things have simply clicked.
Guptill made 87 not out as he and skipper Kane Williamson put on an unbeaten world record 171-run opening stand against Pakistan in Hamilton on Sunday to win the second match, square the series and beat the old record by one run.
Guptill also scored a century and four half centuries in the recent series against Sri Lanka.
"I don't think you can put it down to anything, sometimes your game just clicks and other times things just aren't quite there and you've just got to work through those hard times," Guptill said.
And the opening batsman rejects suggestions that simply removing himself and skipper Kane Williamson is the key to beating the Black Caps in Twenty20 matches.
Having won game one, Pakistan believe the key to victory is getting rid of Guptill or Williamson early - but the Aucklander said the tourists were underestimating his side's batting ability.
"We've seen the way that Colin Munro's been hitting the ball and the innings that he's been playing has really been quite pleasing for us," Guptill said.
"He's shown that he can do it at the international level, and the last two innings he's played he's got very quick fifties, so it's looking very good for us moving forward."
The third and deciding match in the three games series between New Zealand and Pakistan will be played in Wellington on Friday night.

What You Need to Know About Skin Tags
Skin tags are nothing but folds of skin that can occur on any part of the body. They are also known as acrochordon, cutaneous papilloma, cutaneous tag, or fibroepithelial polyp.
Skin tags occur in areas of the body where skin rubs against skin or any other object repeatedly. This skin condition can affect both males and females.
What are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are made up of nerve cells, fibrous tissue, fat cells and are covered by a thin layer of skin. They are seen a little above the skin suspended from stalks, also called peduncles. They do not hurt or itch unless rubbed against clothing or jewelry.
Skin tags are very small or big in size and can grow up to 1 cm. They are brownish, or skin-colored and are found alone or in groups of two to three in number
Skin tags are commonly found in the following parts of the body –
- eyelids
- armpits
- under the breasts
- groin
- upper chest
- neck
The formation of skin tags can also be due to the following reasons - obesity, diabetes, heredity.
Reasons for Removing Skin Tags
Skin tags can be left alone, but some people may want to remove them if they are present on the face or in areas where they cause discomfort.
Skin tags can rupture when they are rubbed against constantly. For example -
- skin tags on your neck may break when continually rubbed against by jewelry
- skin tags on the face can become painful and can get inflamed if they are shaved by accident
- skin tags in armpits can rupture due to constant rubbing of skin in the armpit or while shaving
In such cases, the best possible thing to do is to have the skin tags removed safely by a dermatologist.
Skin tags on eyelids or around the eyes can cause extreme discomfort. These skin tags need to be removed by an ophthalmologist.
Skin Tags-Facts to Remember
- skin tags are nothing but folds of skin that can occur on any part of the body
- they are harmless and do not itch or hurt if left alone
- removal of skin tags do not cause more to appear
- skin tags do not spread from person to person
- they do not spread from one part of the body to another
- anyone can get skin tags
About Procedures for Skin Tag Removal
The following are procedures for removal of skin tags -
Laser Surgery
People who have skin tags on their faces or have very large skin tags can consider laser surgery. In this type of surgery, a laser beam is used to cut off the skin tag.
Cauterization is a procedure in which the skin tag is burned by using electrolysis.
Cryosurgery is a procedure where a probe containing liquid nitrogen is inserted into the skin tag and frozen off and then removed.
Ligation is a procedure in which the blood supply to the skin tag is cut off and then removed.
Excision is a procedure in which the skin tag is removed with a scalpel.
Sometimes skin tags may fall off on their own.
Removing Skin Tags at Home
There are many ways to remove small skin tags at home. If you choose to remove skin tags by yourself, then take extra care.
Things to remember
- using scissors or nail clippers that are not sterilized to cut off small skin tags can result in infection of the skin and cause further complications
- before removing the skin tag, rub the surrounding area with isopropyl alcohol to disinfect
- after removing the skin tag; make sure to press the area with sterilized gauze pad to prevent bleeding. Apply an antibiotic cream after the bleeding has stopped.
- if there is excess bleeding after skin tag removal, show it to your doctor.
Repeated application of tea tree oil, lime juice, Aloe vera gel, Apple Cider Vinegar, Eucalyptus oil on the skin tags may help to get rid of them.
Skin tags are harmless and nothing to worry about. They are not signs of cancer and need not necessarily be removed. They are not contagious and do not spread from person to person. Skin tags can be removed if they are causing discomfort or for cosmetic reasons.

I get these from time to time. I take care of them myself by tying thread very tightly around the base, cutting off the blood supply. It usually falls of in 2-3 days. Nice hub.
I get skin tags in the armpit area. I think deodorant with aluminum as an ingredient causes them. When I go back toArm and Hammer baking soda deodorant, they go away on their own. Weird?
Thanks for such a useful article on skin tags. I really never knew what they were just knew I had some. voted up and sharing.
Interesting information Vellur! Voted up!
I had a skin tag develop on my neck where my oxygen line rubs. The dermatologist froze it with nitrogen and in a few days it dropped off. I've had no problems since then, but if it occurs again, I will once more have it removed. When they're continually rubbed, they get sore. Thanks for an enlightening article on skin tags.
Not usre if I could do this myself. I think I would opt for a doctor's help! Useful hub.
Interesting article. I was especially interested to know that you could potentially remove them at home.
Skin tags in the armpits are ridiculous. It's like you have a noisy neighbor in your personal space.
I remember I used to play with my Grandma's tag when I was a kid until I fall asleep. Yah, I am that weird. Lol! Now, I have them too but 'Am not really bothered about it except once when I accidentally scratched it.
Good to know about the natural way to get rid of them. Thanks for the info. I'm passing it along.
Hi, I am sure I have a couple on my arms, but I can't really see them because they are in an awkward place, interesting to see that you can remove them at home, thanks for the great info! nell
I get these. Not as much as in the picture though. I have had many removed from my neck. They tend to appear where you rub skin together. I also learned that if your diet is high in sugar/carbohydrates you are more prone to them. Since I changed my diet I do not get as many. The main issue for me with them is that they just bother me or get caught on clothing.
Wow. I do not know anyone with this condition, but it can debilitate, especially if you wear jewelry! Thanks for sharing!
Great article on this subject and so very interesting. My family has a history of them and have had them removed by Doctor's due to irritation.
Skin tags look awful, esp. on the eyelids. Your hub was interesting about the different ways for removal..Thank you for sharing...
Thanks for sharing the useful and interesting information about skin tags, Vellur.
I have seen them but never to the extent of the person in that photo! I would definitely be making a trip to the doctor to get them taken off if they were plentiful or in a prominent place. Good hub.
This is a very informative and useful article. I like that you have taken the time to let us know what it is, and various methods of getting rid of it.
Have a great day.
~ Kathryn
Good information. I have one I need to get rid of.....my first.
I have a couple under my arm and they bug me mentally but look nothing like these above; hardly visible really but I read you could buy something to rub on them and make them wipe off. When I asked a pharmacy they sort of spit a no at me, lol, so I guess that is not a good idea. If harmless I might get over mine.
Interesting and great info. ^+
I've never heard them called that either, but thanks for reporting...good to know they are harmless.
Well written article on skin tags. Thanks!
This is an excellent article. Well done.
Oddly, I have never heard of that name. I've seen them but didn't know what they were called. Interesting article my friend.

Over 1,000 People Say They Saw A UFO In Canada Last Year, Here's The Cities That Had The Most Reports
Canada seems to be a good place to see a UFO.
UFOs are the usually just the stuff of science fiction movies but some people, of course, are completely convinced that they've actually seen one.
There's actually a group called Ufology Research based in Manitoba that does a survey each year to determine how many sightings happen in Canada each year.
And they've just released their report for the year, as well as where people are reporting them the most.
This year's report says that there were just over 1,100 reports of UFOs in Canada last year, which averages out to about 3 each day.
Now of course just because they're reported doesn't mean they actually are aliens, only about 8 per cent of those sightings are deemed "unexplained."
But if you are hoping to see some sort of unidentified flying object the top city in Canada is Montreal, with a total of 74 reports last year.
That's followed by Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Hamilton to round out the top 5.
The province with the most reports of UFO activity is Quebec, with 518 reports in total.
That's followed by Ontario and British Columbia.
@moshimoshiexperienceembedded via
And if you think this is just people making stuff up apparently for each sighting there was an average of at least 2 witnesses to the event.
People who reported UFOs also said that the incidents lasted about 15 minutes on average.
And the sightings came in all sorts of strange shapes, some people said they say boomerangs shaped objects, while others reported some shaped as cones and cigars.
Canada has a bit of a history with UFO sightings, earlier this year the Canadian Mint put out a collectors coin based on one famous sighting in Manitoba.
But if you're looking up at the night sky in the hopes of seeing something strange your best bet is Montreal it seems.

2019 Memorial Weekend in Los Angeles Sees Surge in Traffic Fatalities and DUI Arrests
Memorial Day Weekend 2019 saw an alarming surge in DUI arrests and alcohol-related crashes. The California Highway Patrol says that in the first 30 hours of the weekend, there were 741 DUI arrests and 18 people lost their lives.
At this point it's too early to tell how many of those who died were from alcohol-related crashes, but if history repeats, a good portion of those will be. The CHP did say that out of the 18 who died, nearly half were not wearing seat belts.
Memorial Day Prevention Blitz
The CHP was out in force at the beginning of the weekend to try to stop problems before they happened. Starting Friday evening and going until Midnight Monday, all CHP officers were to make a "maximum effort" to catch impaired drivers.
This seems to have paid off as the numbers were down from 2018. Last year there were 28 traffic fatalities across the state for the same weekend and 43 alcohol-related injury crashes. There are also around 1060 DUI arrests throughout the whole weekend.
Contrasting this with 2019, the traffic death toll is 21 with around 973 DUI arrests which is a significant decrease from last year.
Impaired Driving Trends
The last several decades saw a significant drop in DUI deaths, accidents and arrests, but this trend is leveling off in some states and beginning to reverse itself in other states. In California, the trend downward from a high of 2961 continued until 2011 with a low of 886 in 2011. From there it has ticked up each year to a 2017 high of 1,116.
Experts aren't sure why the number rose from 2011, but if this years Memorial Day numbers hold, it looks like that trend might be leveling off or even reversing. A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson says that there is a new trend in other-than-alcohol impaired driving that includes opiates, prescription drugs and marijuana.
Although it's too early to tell if the increase in DUI deaths are from these alcohol alternatives, by putting a focus on these and other impaired driving, the CHP and other agencies hope that the 2019 Memorial Day success will start a downward trend in impaired driving deaths and injuries.

I'm that girl who loves to draw day and night. I sketch my anything beautiful in my view.
I love to skate around and play football with my friends. I try to show them off (which I am usually awesome at skating wise) and update my tricks.
I like to improve my wardrobe every one in a while. I usually wear black, blue, or purple. Skirts and dresses are totally not my thing.
I also love to hang out with friends. (Although, I HATE gossip.) We usually talk about bands (5sos, Band Perry, Green Day, etc.), clothes, skating, or our current life.
I L-O-V-E 5sos and Green Day. They are my absolute favorite bands. My favorite songs are: Amnesia, 21 Guns, and Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Finally, I love to write and read. Writing is what I have always loved. It's something that occupies my mind. You're creating a life for a bunch of characters. It's just fun. Reading is like, an escape from your life, so it's fun and I just love it. I wish it could be something I get paid for.
