Nearly 30 million Americans have a debt in collections. Given that the average American household has approximately $15,000 in credit card debt, this trend is likely to remain active for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, as unpaid debt is sold to third-party debt buyers for pennies on the dollar, debt buyers use the courts to sue hundreds of consumers in one fell swoop, often without any knowledge that the debt is still owed or that the amount is correct. Learning how to effectively handle debt defense cases and spot affirmative claims with fee-shifting statutes is an excellent path to start a thriving consumer practice.

About the eCourse

NACA's Debt Defense eCourse is a self-paced, beginner course that teaches how to obtain optimal results for debt collection cases while earning a reasonable fee for the legal services. Using four interactive stories and three webinars, the eCourse teaches how to best litigate based on the fact pattern.

Participants will have access to the course for two months and will receive a certificate of completion if they have finished each of the four learning modules by the end of the period. There is the potential of earning three CLE credits. NACA is an approved multi-provider of CLE credits for the State of California. All course registrants from California will automatically be approved to receive three CLE credits. This course has also been approved for three CLE credits in Minnesota.

The Internet-based course allows participants a personalized experience, where they set their learning pace, rather than go at the pace of the group. Learners can focus on elements they need to learn and can skip what they already know. There is no travel time and no associated travel costs. Learn when it is convenient for you. Research shows that advantages to eLearning, like this eCourse, include reduced training time and better comprehension and retention.

NRECA and electric co-ops are building on early COVID-19 relief successes by elevating their message for Congress to include ongoing co-op priorities in the next pandemic response package.

Initial results of NRECA’s advocacy in Congress include the Department of Health and Human Services releasing $900 million in supplemental Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding for fiscal year 2020. The funds, passed in the CARES Act (H.R. 748), are helping vulnerable Americans in communities hit hard by the growing economic crisis.

NRECA also worked with the Treasury Department and Small Business Administration for a clarification to explicitly note the eligibility of electric co-ops to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program, if they meet the other eligibility requirements. The agencies issued the clarification in response to a sustained effort by electric co-ops to address co-op concerns.

We thank Sens. John Hoeven (R-ND) and Tina Smith (D-MN) and Reps. Ron Kind (D-WI) and Jackie Walorski (R-IN) for leading the congressional effort.

NRECA is continuing its efforts to shape COVID-19 relief legislation that will help electric co-ops ensure electric system reliability in an increasingly difficult economic environment.

Electric co-op advocates can ensure that their congressional delegations hear a strong message to include co-op priorities in the next COVID-19 relief package, which will help to protect the 42 million Americans who rely on electric co-ops to power their homes and businesses.

NRECA is pressing Congress to ensure that the next relief package includes the Flexible Financing for Rural America Act (S. 4152, H.R. 7483), introduced by Sens. Hoeven, Smith, John Boozman (R-AR) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Reps. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) and Tom O’Halleran (D-AZ).

Electric co-ops are growing cosponsors for the legislation currently backed by more than 100 lawmakers: 82 in the House and 20 in the Senate.

The bicameral, bipartisan bill would provide flexibility for RUS borrowers through repricing of loans at lower rates. The measure would permit RUS electric and telecommunications borrowers to request an interest rate adjustment with no penalty. The average co-op with typical RUS debt could save $2 million per year in interest payments by refinancing loans at current low interest rates – money electric co-ops could use to help communities recovering from the pandemic.

In addition, NRECA and electric co-ops are urging Congress to provide federal support for those who are not able to pay their bills and to address operational shortfalls for electric co-ops caused by loss of electric load and bill nonpayment.

Contributions to the NRECA Action Committee for Rural Electrification® (ACRE®) are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes. Contributions to ACRE are voluntary and will be used for political purposes. You have the right to refuse to contribute without reprisal. Federal law prohibits contributions from foreign nationals who lack permanent resident status. Any contribution guidelines presented are merely suggestions. You are free to contribute more or less than the suggested amounts, or not at all. NRECA will not favor or disadvantage anyone by reason of the amount contributed or a decision not to contribute.

*Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation and name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200.

11 discontinued makeup brands you completely forgot existed

Ruby and Millie anybody?

discontinued makeup brands

Nothing hurts more than when a makeup brand discontinues your favourite product. But what's even worse is when a makeup company completely discontinues their entire brand. As we try and come to terms with the loss of the Estée Edit, we thought we'd take a moment to remember all the other brands who ended up in the beauty graveyard...may they rest in peace.

1 of 11
Ruby and Millie

Makeup artists Ruby Hammer and Millie Kendall launched their brand in Boots in 1998. In terms of makeup they were way ahead of their time with their clear packaged, wind up lip glosses and cheek tints. The brand was withdrawn from Boots in 2011.

Miners makeup
2 of 11

Back in the day, Miners was your go to brand for seriously affordable makeup. My favourite product was their tinted lip balms which were called Tin o' Tints. If you thought the brand had disappeared altogether you might be surprised to hear that it's still available online.

Jemma Kidd makeup
Jemma Kidd
3 of 11
Jemma Kidd

If you were into beauty blogging back in the day you will know that Jemma Kidd's Light As Air Foundation was every blogger's holy grail. Sadly the line created by the makeup artist went into administration in 2012.

Hard Candy
Hard Candy
4 of 11
Hard Candy

Were you really a '90s kid if you don't remember the infamous Hard Candy nail polishes with their plastic rings around the lid? The brand withdrew from the the UK but continued to be sold in the US and is still available online.

Playboy makeup
5 of 11

The early '00s was huge for Playboy merchandising thanks to the E! show, The Girls Next Door. Playboy makeup was available in Superdrug, and I for one used to love their eyebrow pencil. Sadly the line didn't last when Playboy lost popularity.

Bloom makeup
6 of 11

Bloom makeup is an Australian brand which began in 1993 when it's founder was inspired to create a line with natural ingredients. Bloom launched in Superdrug in the UK in 2009 but was phased out in 2012. However Bloom still exists in Australia and their website offers international shipping.

Accessorize makeup
Laura Capon
7 of 11

Accessorize beauty hasn't had the best time. It originally launched in 2011 in Superdrug stores with a range that included duo chrome nail polishes. The brand didn't last long and was discontinued, only to be relaunched in 2015. However the line has now disappeared from shelves for the second time round.

Versace makeup
8 of 11

Versace makeup launched in 1998 but even though I used to save up all the money from my Saturday job to buy their lip glosses, it wasn't enough to stop the range being discontinued in 2009. I still live in hope that the brand and it's gaudy AF packaging will return.

Dainty Doll makeup
Dainty Doll

Dainty Doll by Nicola Roberts

Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts launched her own makeup range in 2008 after struggling to find makeup products pale enough for her skin tone. Despite finding a niche in the market, the brand was discontinued in 2013.

10 of 11

FashionistA was launched in Superdrug in 2011 and is one of the newer brands in this list. Designed to bring 'catwalk style to the high street' the brand was famous for their customisable palettes which could be filled with eyeshadows and blushes. The brand is now no more.

Joe Huber's fundraising draws $13,500 to help family members save farm

Grace Schneider
Courier Journal

Longtime customers and friends of Joe Huber's dug into their pockets and donated more than $13,500 this week after a granddaughter of Huber asked for help raising $1 million to save the farm and you-pick operation in Starlight, Indiana.

By late Friday morning, 385 people had donated, posting notes about the good times they'd had with their families and encouraging Jenna Huber Crum to keep up her fight.

"Joe Huber gave soooo much to so many people! He held so many benefits to help others in this community going through difficult times," wrote Mary Polk, who donated $200. "My prayer is those people and their families will help you during this terrible time for you. God bless and many prayers for you."

Dan Ludwick gave $300 in memory of his friend JoJo, Joe Huber III, who died three years ago in an accident. He said JoJo and the Huber family "dedicated their lives to a business that brought joy and happiness to the families of Louisville and Southern Indiana. From the strawberry festival to the fall festivities, the Huber farm provided our children with an amazing outdoor farm experience."

The Joe Huber's Restaurant is a popular place in Starlight, Indiana for fried chicken, biscuits and apple butter as well as a place for kids to play. File from Sept. 19, 2018

Joe Huber's family members announced late Tuesday that they would auction the 166-acre farm, restaurant and two party barns on Nov. 17. It will be divided into a dozen or so parcels.

Column:When an icon like Joe Huber's goes away, it's like a gut punch

The decision came after relatives, including Clem, said that the four grown children who hold the majority interest could not agree on how to continue the business. Auctioneer Doug Harritt said that the four grown children of late Joe Huber Jr. intend to retire.

Two granddaughters of Joe Huber, who launched the you-pick operation in the late 1960s and grew it into destination where thousands from Louisville and the region visited each year, started the GoFundMe page this week. They asked for the community's help to raise $1 million to assist them in bidding to save the farm.

If the family falls short, the Hubers have said they'll pass all donations to the WHAS Crusade for Children, a charity that the family and the business have supported for years.

The heartfelt outpouring has amazed and lifted them, said Terra Huber Mahan, director of sales and marketing.  Many people contacted them right way after hearing of the auction to ask how to help. And they keep stepping up with donations, she said, remind them that the place has been more than a business to the community.

"Our customers have taken us this far," Mahan said. "We want to carry on my father's and my grandfather's legacy."

Robert Sears Sr. donated one of the largest amounts shown on the online site — $500 — after reading about effort. His family from Louisville's South End made outings there years ago to pick strawberries. They had a ball and treasured their memories of time they spent together, he said.

The farm "is a part of history. It's a part of a lot of people's lives," said Sears, who is 84. "I hate to see things like that happen in a family. If it (the farm) gets sold, they won't keep it the way it's been."

caffeine powder in lotion

Recommended Posts

I bought some anhydrous caffeine from a destash.  Wondering how I can incorporate it into my lotion.  Should I put it in the water phase?  I would think if i put it in after lotion is blended it would be too grainy.

Share on other sites

Yes, as long as it isn't heat sensitive it can be included in water phase. If it is heat sensitive you can mix powdered extracts into a solvent like glycerin or propanediol to eliminate lumps or graininess.

Plastic Jugs with Handles

Our range of laboratory plastic jugs is designed for bars wanting to offer science (or Breaking Bad) themed drinks and cocktails. Made from polyproplene graduated with a pouring spout and a handle. These plastic jugs are safe to wash in domestic & commercial dishwashers.

Bar Essentials is a range of laboratory-style novelty borosilicate glassware and plasticware that has been created for serving drinks or canapes etc. Bar Essentials is not designed for measuring alcohol. Bar Essentials glassware is manufactured from a thicker gauge of tough borosilicate glass than standard laboratory glassware - so can withstand more of the knocks and drops experienced in a cocktail bar environment.

Welcome to Creative Assembly Sofia

Welcome to Creative Assembly Sofia

May 29 2017 | Studio

SEGA Europe Ltd. and Creative Assembly have released details of the studio’s expansion, with the addition of a sixty-developer strong Bulgaria-based development team, following the acquisition of Crytek Black Sea. This facility, newly-named as Creative Assembly Sofia, seals Creative Assembly’s place as one of the largest and most prominent games developers in Europe and a major contributor to the growing UK games industry.

Over the last year, Creative Assembly’s headcount has risen by 37% and is now over 500-people strong. This latest announcement follows the opening of the studio’s third UK site at the end of 2016, adding an 88% increase in development space to its creative footprint, totalling over 70,000 square feet with in-house development facilities including a 45-camera motion-capture studio and dedicated audio suites.

Tim Heaton, Studio Director at Creative Assembly, said; “Now in our 30th year of games development, with an army of multi-million selling titles to our name and a history of world-renowned partnerships, Creative Assembly is proof of the UK games industry’s potential for global success. Due to this success, we are further expanding our UK base and developing additional projects overseas, whilst pursuing top talent from across the globe to join us, all in support of our commitment to creating high quality, authentic gaming experiences.

Our continued growth allows us to be dynamic with our future projects, constantly seeking new opportunities and reaching a wider audience with our games.”

Jurgen Post, President and COO of SEGA Europe Ltd., said; “The acquisition of Crytek Black Sea further enhances SEGA Europe’s development capabilities and strengthens our ability to output diverse and engaging content for our IP. Creative Assembly Sofia will be working exclusively on content for Creative Assembly and will prove an invaluable asset given the multitude of unannounced titles currently in the works. This acquisition represents another step in the right direction for the growth of our global business, underlining our commitment to add value to our existing studios and our continued support for the UK games industry.”

The UK games market is thriving, with games generating £2.96bn in 2016, 1.3 times the size of the video market (£2.25bn) and 2.6 times the size of music (£1.6bn). UK games rank among the most popular in the world, with Creative Assembly’s Total War™ series seeing a franchise record-breaking monthly average of 1.2m global players in 2017.

Creative Assembly is well known for its development of AAA interactive entertainment and world-class partnerships including SEGA (the studio’s parent company), Games Workshop (on Total War: WARHAMMER), Twentieth Century Fox (on Alien: Isolation) and, with Microsoft and 343 Industries (on Halo Wars 2). Most recently, Creative Assembly also announced its strategic partnership with market leader in the free-to-play space, Wargaming, which will see Total War: ARENA published worldwide.

The studio is working on a number of unannounced projects for 2017, with further additions to this slate now being developed by the Creative Assembly Sofia team.

WFDC2 Protein, WAP four-disulfide core domain 2

Home / Products / WFDC2

Official Full Name WAP four-disulfide core domain 2
Background This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the WFDC domain family. The WFDC domain, or WAP Signature motif, contains eight cysteines forming four disulfide bonds at the core of the protein, and functions as a protease inhibitor in many family members. This gene is expressed in pulmonary epithelial cells, and was also found to be expressed in some ovarian cancers. The encoded protein is a small secretory protein, which may be involved in sperm maturation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Synonyms WFDC2; WAP four-disulfide core domain 2; HE4; WAP5; EDDM4; dJ461P17.6; WAP four-disulfide core domain protein 2; epididymal protein 4; epididymal secretory protein E4; putative protease inhibitor WAP5; WAP domain containing protein HE4-V4; major epididymis-specific protein E4; epididymis-specific, whey-acidic protein type, four-disulfide core;

FRIENDS and colleagues of former Crewe councillor Maureen Campbell will pay their respects at her funeral tomorrow (Thursday).

The service will take place at All Saints in Weston at 12.15pm and will be followed by cremation at Crewe Crematorium.

Floral tributes or donations are to go to Prader Wili Syndrome.

On Thursday members of Cheshire East Council, some of whom were former colleagues of Mrs Campbell, remembered her at the full council meeting. Mrs Campbell died three weeks ago in Turkey after suffering a suspected heart attack.

Mrs Campbell, who was an Independent member of the former Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council, was also a long serving member of Weston Parish Council.

“She would readily take on the most onerous of tasks and see them through until she got the result people wanted,” said her long-time friend and former council colleague Penny Butterill.

The Cove Woodland Trust

by Crowdfunder | Nov 09, 2018 | Environment & sustainability, Stories

The Cove Woodland Trust
In a world that is constantly moving and developing, the importance of preserving the peace of green space is at an all time high. Intending to do just this, The Cove Woodland Trust turned to the crowd to raise a staggering £10,100 that would ensure a further 16 acres of land to be kept in the hands of the community of Cove, Aberdeen.
The Aim

Set up and run by local volunteers, The Cove Woodland Trust exists to protect green spaces in Cove, Aberdeen, for both the local community and future generations to use and enjoy.

After the charity was offered 16 acres worth of land by a local farmer, they knew that something needed to be done to raise the funds required for the purchase. With the land in question covering the perimeter of the Cove Woodland Walk, an area already enjoyed by so many, the opportunity to protect and conserve the land was just too good to miss.

With a strong community behind them and a clear intention to sustainably manage the land and ensure that native wildlife have somewhere to call home, The Cove Woodland Trust turned to the crowd to raise the money needed and ensure that any decisions for the future of the land would lie with local residents.

The Cove Woodlant Trust - crowdfunder
The Support

From the get go, it was clear that the local community backed the ethos of the charity, but even The Cove Woodland Trust themselves were bowled over to receive such unwavering support throughout their crowdfund. As the curtains closed on their crowdfunding project, the charity had raised an incredible £8,1000 from 194 individuals, which in turn unlocked a further £2,000 of extra funding from Crowdfund Aberdeen.

Designed to support community groups and organisations across the city to realise their full potential and make great ideas happen, Crowdfund Aberdeen was the perfect fit with the ethos of the charity.

Wendy, Treasurer of Cove Woodland Trust, said, “The extra funding from Crowdfund Aberdeen meant that Cove Woodland Trust were able to both raise ample funds for our initial needs and confirm that the project is one that is well supported within the Aberdeen area as a whole.”

The Impact

Wendy added, “Crowdfunding enabled Cove Woodland Trust to ensure that the project was supported by residents of the Cove area. Since our project finished, Cove Woodland Trust has held a successful ‘Opening Event’ with a tree planted by the Lord Provost as well as a ceremonial ribbon cutting by the gentleman who sold the land to the Trust. We are now about to hold a Tree Planting event, when those who contributed via crowdfunding can plant the trees they sponsored. The Cove Woodland Trust has also been made the local charity of the year by our local Sainsburys store, so additional funding is available through them, and we have been able to raise additional funds from the Health Improvement Fund to purchase gardening tools for use by volunteers, including planting these trees at the upcoming event.”

Advice on crowdfunding

And Wendy’s top tips for anyone else thinking of crowdfunding?

“Make sure you have a good photo and description to ‘sell’ your project. If you can get some donations promised, arrange for them to be donated to the crowdfunder at the start of the funding effort.  Arrange for people to regularly comment on the funding on social media to keep the project at the forefront. If you can ‘give something back’ to your supporters then do so, but make sure it doesn’t raise your costs excessively or it will defeat the object. By giving our supporters trees to plant on the land we were able to give them something that would help us achieve our own objectives, and by applying to the Woodland Trust (the national charity) for the trees to plant we were able to get them at no cost to ourselves – a real win-win situation!”

If you have a community based project or social enterprise and are looking to crowdfund, then you could also be eligible for extra funding. Find out more about the funds we have on offer and get in touch today.

Armchair Moviegoers Get Theater Sound In Their Living Rooms

It's one of the hottest trends in television. Hook up speakers to television and turn your living room into a home theater. Hobbyists have been doing it for years. Now, home theater is coming to the masses.

Companies are selling home-theater kits. Sales of speakers destined for television jumped 52 percent in the first quarter of this year compared with a year ago, according to industry figures. Sound, often overlooked in the rush to buy the biggest and brightest TV, is becoming a key ingredient in television viewing.

I've been using one such system - a $1,000 all-in-one package from British manufacturer Celestion - called HTiB (Home-Theater-in-a-Box). The experience has changed the way I think of television. The first thing you realize with a home theater is that not all television is created equal.

First, the good news. Pop in a videocassette of a recent movie or watch a prime-time show recorded in stereo and the effects are wonderfully realistic. Voices can come from the left or the right. Background noise comes from the back. The rumble of a passing truck really rumbles. Just like a real movie theater.

Commercials too become immediately more interesting because many of them are recorded in stereo. (This may not be a step forward for civilization, but that's another story.)

The bad news is that not all TV shows are broadcast in stereo. If your TV viewing is limited to sports broadcasts or reruns of older programs, such as the Andy Griffith Show, the sound is the same no matter how many speakers you use. Television content, in other words, hasn't completely caught up to the technology.

But it will.

The complete home-theater system has five speakers - three in front and two in the back - with a special sub-woofer that provides the bass. It uses Pro Logic technology from Dolby Laboratories (the same folks who brought noise reduction and a host of other advances to recordings).

The technology allows a movie or TV program to be recorded in four-channel sound, folded onto two audio tracks fit onto the film or videotape, then decoded by the viewer's receiver at the other end.

The technique involves comparing the phase of the sound waves as well as their volume. So, for example, if at a particular point in the movie, the sound tracks are in phase and at equal volume, the home-theater system using Pro Logic throws the sound to the center speaker. If the tracks are in phase but have different volumes, the chip sends the sound to the left or right speaker. And so on.

Fortunately, it's easier to set up a home-theater system than it is to understand how it works. At least, that's my experience with the Celestion HTiB. The receiver clearly indicated where all the wires were supposed to go.

The sound was fair. Brent Butterworth, editor of Home Theater magazine, is much more enthusiastic about a four-speaker system, the Ensemble IV from Cambridge Sound Works, which with a separate Sherwood receiver costs about $600.

These are the low-end products. A top-of-the-line sound system (before adding a fancy TV or anything else) can run up to $20,000 or more. Kathy Gornik, president of high-end speaker manufacturer Thiel, suggests users start out by buying two good speakers and trying those before moving up to a full-blown home-theater system.

Eventually, we're all likely to move to digital television. Dolby already has digital technology that will allow viewers to experience five channels of sound without the folding and unfolding technique of Pro Logic. The result will be another huge leap for television programming - and, of course, commercials.

Terrorists struck again Thursday in Baghdad, killing at least 21 more people on top of the 27 deaths caused by a car-bomb explosion late Wednesday outside a mosque in Hilla. The latter city is 60 miles south of the capital, and the attack took place as Muslims gathered for prayer to start Ramadan, the Islamic holy month. In London, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said sophisticated new armor-piercing explosives being used against coalition forces in Iraq appeared to have been supplied by neighboring Iran and Hizbullah. Iran's Foreign Ministry called the allegation "a lie."

The on-again, off-again meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was rescheduled for Tuesday in Jerusalem. But a senior Palestinian official said he understood it would take place only if aides succeed in narrowing the issues to be discussed in a preparatory meeting Friday. Sharon intends to raise with Abbas "law and order issues" in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, such as the dismantling of Hamas, the Jerusalem Post reported. For his part, Abbas probably will seek the release from Israeli jails of 2,000 more Palestinian prisoners and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from more West Bank cities, one political analyst told the newspaper.

Roughly 1,000 more impoverished migrants from Africa tried to force their way into the Spanish enclave of Melilla in Morocco Thursday but were turned back by security forces. The attempt was the third this week and came as Prime Minister José Luis Rod-riguez Zapatero announced that migrants who'd succeeded in penetrating two razor-wire fences around Melilla and its sister enclave, Cueta, would be expelled to Morocco, beginning immediately.

From his self-imposed exile in Japan, ousted President Alberto Fujimori announced that he intends to seek the office again in Peru's national election next April. Fujimori, who fled Peru five years ago amid a corruption scandal, told a news conference in Tokyo he believes he can win the presidency again, although he's banned from holding political office until 2010. He holds dual citizenship because his parents were Japanese. Peru repeatedly has sought his extradition for trial on human rights abuse charges, but each request has been denied by Japan.

IQALUIT, NUNAVUT -- Nunavut is reporting its first confirmed cases of COVID-19, but a spokeswoman for the premier says that since they didn't originate in the territory they'll instead be counted in other jurisdictions.

The territory's chief public health officer, Dr. Michael Patterson, says in a news release there are two cases at the Hope Bay gold mine 125 km southwest of Cambridge Bay.

Patterson says both miners are asymptomatic and were exposed to COVID-19 in their home jurisdictions.

He says the samples tested positive on the GeneXpert device in Rankin Inlet late on September 16 and were confirmed by the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg on Sunday.

Cate Macleod, a spokewoman for Premier Joe Savikataaq, says in an email that the cases will be counted in the jurisdictions where the workers contracted COVID-19.

The territory says at this time, there is no evidence of transmission within the Hope Bay Mine site.

"Hope Bay Mine is an isolated location, and no Nunavut residents currently work there. The risk of COVID-19 spreading in our communities because of these cases remains very low," Health Minister George Hickes said in a news release.

"We are closely monitoring the situation and we will keep Nunavummiut informed if anything changes."

The Nunavut government says its current public health measures are not affected.

Nunavut does not list any confirmed cases of the infection.

A fly-in worker at the Mary River iron mine on the northern tip of Baffin Island was originally diagnosed positive on June 30, but the initial result was on the low end of the spectrum and a further test in early July came back negative.

A presumed positive case in the spring also turned out to be negative.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 19, 2020.
